CAPTAIN MOORSOM'S LETTERS FROM NOVA SCOTIA. In I vol. small Bvo. with a Map and Plates. Ios. Cd. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 12, 1831. SPIRIT OF TILE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Of late years the budget has lest much of the in terest which it necessarily possessed during the war, when every year brought with it fresh loans and taxes. It ha• become rather a sort of general review of the inancia' operations of the Session, than a disclosure of new mea sures. Last night, however, the budget was of mon usual interest, from the extent of the changes proposed in our financial systerii, and the eaily period of the Session at which it was brought forward. Before entering on the financial statement, Lord Althorp gave an account of the offices which Government had already determined to re • duce. Ministers had not, he said, been in office lone enough to propose all the reductions which it might he ad - yisable to make. They amount in the whole to two hun dred and ten places, including the Vice-Treasurer of Ire land, the Lieutenant-General and Clerk of the Delivery to the Ordnance, the Postmaster-General in Ireland, the Ile_ eeiver- General of Taxes in Scotland, and forty-six Receivers in England. His Lordship staked that the Noble Lord at the head of the Colonial Department hoped to be able to carry into effect the recommendations of the Commission to In quire into Abuses in the Colonies ; and that if the Lore Chancellor was enabled to carry his intentions into effect, a great reduction would take place in his depart ment. He did not state these reductions as any great eco nomy in point of money, but as a great diminution of pa tronage, and "as a confirmation of his declaration on a former occasion, that the Government of this country would no longer be carried on by patronage." The re venue, calculated on that of 18'30, after deducting the duties on beer, leather, cider, and a portion of those on sugar, amounting altogether to 2,910,000/., might be taken at 50,060,000/. The estimated expenditure of 46 850,0001. would leave a surplus of 300,0001, which, his Lordship thought, was coming too near the margin. Such being the revenue and the expenditure, there is no room for reduction properly so called; but a country may be relieved by a change in the mode of taxatbn, as well as by diminution of its amount. The great feature of last night's budget was the transference of taxes from objects on which it pressed injuriously to objects on which it would be less felt. There were three classes of taxes to which he bad directed his attention ; let, taxes so high as to diminish consumption ; 2d, taxes pressing unequally on the people ; 3d, taxes imposed on parti cular manufactures, which took much from the people without yielding much to the Treasury. These were the taxes which he had selected for reduction. In the first class, of which the amount of duty dimi nishes consumption, was tobacco. On raw tobacco he proposed to reduce the duty from 35. to Is. 6.1. a pound. On manufactured tobacco, from 9s. to 4s. 6d. a pound. On the other hand, he proposed to impose a duty on to bacco grown in Ireland, nearly equal to that levied on foreign tobacco imported. Another tax in this class is that on newspaper stamps and newspaper advertisements. He proposed to reduce the duty on newspapers from 4d. to 2d., and to withdraw the discount of 20 per cent. now given. The duty on advertisements was now 3s. 6d. He intended to reduce the duty to Is. for advertisements under tea lines, and 2s. 6d. for those above ten lines. The next tax to be reduced is that on sea-borne coals, the whole of which is to be taken off. In the third class of duties—described as interfering with manufactures, and returning much less than it takes from the people, are— st, The tax on tallow and candles. 2d, The tax on printed calicoes, which draws two millions from the pockets of the people, and yields only 500,000/. to the Exchequer. 3d, The tax on glass. With respect to this tax," said his . Lordship, " I beg to say I consider it a matter of great importance, because I am convinced glass might be raised into one of the staple manufactures of the country. ItVe possess the materials, and our unequalled machinery would give us a powerful advantage in the manufacture over foreign nations ; and when once the article is freed from the trammels of the Excise, and the duty is taken off coals, I have no doubt the manufacture will rise into prorpe rity, and furnish commodities for a great export trade." 4th, There are one hundred and sixty-three small taxes, which did not bring to the Exchequer more than 2,000/. a year, amongst those which he proposed to repeal, as, for instance, the auction duty on the sale of land. The reduc tions, then, are— On Tobacco, amounting to 2,800,0001., one-half £1,400,000 On Newspaper Stamps and Advertise ments _ 190,000 Duty on Coals and Slates 830,000 ~,,,.., _ On Candles 420,000 On Printed Calicoes 500,000 On Glass 600,000 Auction Duty on Sale of Land 60,000 Miscellaneous Taxes BO,OOO In all X 4,080,00 0- With respect to the equalizations—French wines now pay 7s. 3d. a gallon ; other foreign wines, 4s. 10d. ; Cape wines, 2s. sd. He proposeti on all, 55. 6d. a gallon. The average consumption of wine is 6,700,000 gallons ; a duty of ss. 6d. a gallon, would give 1,840,000/. ; whereas, the average receipt has hitherto amounted only to ,585,000/. Thus, there would be an increase of 250,000/. The next article on which a change is pro posed is timber. Rough European timber pays now ss. a load, and Canada timber 10s. a load ; but European timber, when cut into deals, pays 455. a load ; while that of Canada, in the same condition, pays ss. 9d. a load. He pro posed to raise the tax on rough European timber to 20s. a load, and to advance the duty on Canada deal to 30s. This will increase the revenue to 760,000/. say 600,0001. On raw cotton imported into this country, he proposed a duty of Id. per pound, to be allowed on all manufactured cotton exported. On coals exported there is now a duty of 178. 6d. for large, and 4s. 6d. for small. He proposed to lay 10s. on both. This will produce 100,000/. He next pro posed a tax on passengers in steam-boats: Is. a h ea d f or every distance und e r t wen ty miles, under thirty miles 25., and above thirty miles 2s. 6d. In place of the auction duty he proposed a tax on the transfer of land, of one half per cent. As no one class ought to be exempted from bearing its fair share of the public burthens, he proposed a tax on all bona fide transfers of property in the funds, of one half per cent. He did not mean to touch cases of transfer of stock as security for the loan of money. The following is a summary of the new taxes proposed Duty on Property in the Funds A:800,000 Land 400,000 %Vine : 250,000 Timber 600,000 Cotton Coal 100,600 Steam-boats In all X 2,730,000 With regard to the taxes proposed to be repealed, it was generally allowed that the selection could hardly be more judicious. The mention of sea• borne coals was loudly cheered. But the more difficult part of the task of a Chancellor of the Exchequer is to obtain assent to the imposition of new taxes. The proposed duty on the transfer of land was deemed objectionable, and that on the transfer of funded property was still more so. This last tax was indeed almost universally condemned. The whole City opened on Lord Althorp. Sir Robert Peel saw the occasion favourable for a burst of indignant elo quence against all vi o l a ti ons of public faith. The tax may operate injuriously, but a great deaf too much was made of the objection drawn from the public faith. The in come tax might equally have been, in the case of pro perty in the funds, deemed a b reac h of faith with the c r e ditor. In principle we can see no difference between a transfer of land and a transfer of stock. The landholder labours at present under the evil of a system of law of real property, wh . ich rend ers th e sale of land a difficult and tedious operation. The stockhold e r possesses a com modity more marketable and more easily transferred ; and because the law has favoured him so much in the mode of transfer, that his commodity has a preference in the market, it is deemed a crying injustice that lie should b e placed on a footing of equality with the landholder.. One advantage possessed over th e landholder a deemed a reason for giving him another advantage. In Holland, land can be transferred as e a •il y as stoc k i n this country, and it is more serviceable to the holder, and con sequently more valuable; and we have no doubt that the landholder in England would be satisfied with an equal facility of conveyance, without the addition of the ex emption on that account from the delay in transfer, merely because land would be more frequently transferred. Still, however, as the moneyed men of London dislike the tax, and they will stir heaven and earth against it, prudence r perhaps demands the abandonme n t o f i t . Wi t h reg ard . to the t land, and leavesi t is, n o the prosperousubt,one wh u rc o h presses on on en the transfer unfortunate,. touched. But the same objecti on app li es t o s t am p duties on conveyances. And, after all, i n t axa ti on we h a ve but of s choice of evils. We wonder that Sir Robert Peel, who dwelt so eloquently on the inequality of the duty on transfers of land, forgot the legacy duty, which is liable to the very same objection. Government deserve great praise for the endeavour they have made to free the country from taxes pressing most severely on the poor, and crip pling the industry of the country. The taxes they have proposed to substitute may not be free from ail objection ; but who would think of comparing the injurious operation of the duties on transfers of stock and land, with that of the duties on sea-borne coal and printed calicoes, and glass and candles? A direct tax o❑ land and stock would perhaps be preferable to the duty on the transfer.—ilorn ing Chronicle. The Chancellor of the Exchequer last night brought forward his budget, or financial statement for the year, desirous rather of satisfying the natural impatience of the country, than of consulting the convenience of the Admi nistration, who hare not yet presented all their estimates. His Lordship began by stating, that his Majesty's present Government, as soon as they entered on office had zealously applied themselves to the task of ascertaining what reduc tions could be made in places and offices, without detri ment to the public service. He had previously mentioned some of these reductions. Among them were the places of Vice-Treasurer of Ireland, of Lieutenant-General of the Ordnance, of the Auditory of the Civil List, of the Postinaster.General for Ireland, of the King's Sta tioner in Ireland, and other offices in Ireland, amounting in all to sixty. Referring to our report for the other offices enumerated tvy the Noble Lord, we may mention, that all the places which he proposes to reduce amount to 210, with salaries each of from 60/. to 6001. a-year. The Government, likewise was not only disposed to reduce the colonial offices, as had been recommended by the committee which sat on that subject, but to carry their reductions into all our colonial establishments. The amount of immediate saving to the public from the abolition of these places, the Noble Lord admitted could not be great, because in most cases provision must be made for their present occupants, but the reduction would at least verify his engagement not to conduct the Government by the influence of patronage. In entering on the more immediate object of his financial statement, the Noble Lord pursued the course usually fol lowed on such occasions, by first stating the amount of supplies, and then detailing the ways and means to meet them. Though the estimates had not yet been all laid be fore Parliament, he would take the charge for the year at 46,850,000/. The revenue for the last year was 50,060,000/., but making allowance for the taxes which had been repealed, he would state it at 47,150,000/. The charge would thus absorb the income to within the trifling amount of about 300,000/. This was running very near the mark, and allowed little room for reduction of taxa tion. From absolute reduction, therefore, no hope was entertained, but the Noble Lord expected great benefit to result from modifications of the existing system,— from shifting the amount from one object to another, — from relieving productive industry of its burthens,— from abolishing those duties which press most on the poor and the labouring classes, and those which check or prevent the extension of manufacturers. The prin ciples on which he proceeded in the plan which be sub mitted, were borrowed from a work of Sir IL Parnell's, which we recommended to public notice last summer. The same amount of taxation may ;te more or less oppres sive, according as it is imposed with more or less judg ment. The Noble Lord divided the taxes which he meant to change into these classes; namely-Ist, those which were not productive according to their rate, and the productiveness of which might he increased by a diminution of the rats ; 2dly, those which pressed upon manufacturing industry ; and 3dly, those which chiefly affected the poor and labouring portion of the community. The first tax which the Noble Lord proposed to modify was the duty on tobacco. The amount of duty at present levied was 3s. per pound on the tobacco as imported, and 9s. on the manufactured article (snuff or cigars). He pro posed to recluse the first to Is. 6d., and the last to 4s. 6d. The amount of revenue derived from that tax was at present 2,800,000/. The loss to the revenue, however, would not be so much as the half, or 1 ,40 0 ,0001. ; for he calculated on such an increased consumption as would reduce that less to 800,000/. Thus, while the re lief extended to the consumers of the article would be 1,400,000/, the Exchequer would only suffer a diminution of income to the extent of 800,000/. The next duty which he thought it useful to modify was the duty of stamps on newspapers and advertisements. At present the duty on each stamp was 4d., with a discount of 20 per cent. He proposed to make it 2d., without any discount. All advertisements at present paid a duty of 3s. 6d.; he proposed to reduce it to Is. for each adver tisement of less than ten lines ; and 2s. 6(1. for all above. The saving to the public would be 19Q,000/., and the loss to the revenue he calculated at 100,000/., the difference being made up, according to his Lordship's calculation, by an increase in the circulation of papers, and in the number of advertisements which the diminished rate was expected to produce. He now came to a tax which had the double vice of pressing h eav il y on t h e poor, an d dis couraging manufacturing industry, —namely, the duty on sea-borne coal. This he proposed entirely to abolish. It amounted, with a small duty on slate, to 830,000/. The tax on tallow candles was particularly liable to objec tion, o n more grounds than one. It too k snore money from the people than went into the Exchequer. It pre vented the manufacture of candles at home, where it could be done cheapest, and made the consumer pay the manufacturer's profit. Its amount was 420,000/. a-year ; but in the present year the revenue would not suffer to that extent, as he had yielded to the advice of the manufacturers, not to let the abolition take effect fur half a year, in order that their stock might be consumed. The next tax which he would abolish was that an printed cottons, which brought only 600,0 00 / . to the Exchequer, out of 2,00 0 , 000/ . which it took, in the first instance, from the pockets of the manufacturers. Besides this ob jection, it pressed most heavily on the poor, and had thus every vice which a tax could h ave . Th e l ast art i c l e of i mportance which his Lcedship proposed to relieve of taxation was glass. The duty on this article was a most obnoxious inipos!. It di scourage d i n d ustry,— i t pre vented e xtension of an imp or t an t manu f acture , f or t h e increase of shich this country o ff ere d ever y f aci l i t y . Th e Lord bad no doubt that when the tax was abolished, our the possession of the raw material, our possession of plenty of fuel, and the cheapness of labour in this country, would render glass an article of export. The produce of this tax was 600,0001 The Noble Lord mentioned a variety of minor taxes which lie intended to abolish, amounting to 140,000/. The whole of these reductions would amount, i n s hape of relief t o t h e country, to 4 ,080,000/., and wou ld occasion to the revenue an estimated loss of 5,170,000/. But as the revenue could not admit of this great deduction from its annual amount, it was necessary to provide substitutes for the impolitic or oppressive im posts of which he th us suggeste d t h e repeal. The Noble Lord purpo se propose d to equa li ze t h e dut i es on all hoe o urn m furttuss ofo withis er o and to r a i se a ll t o s s . 6d. per ga ll on. T gallons a t p resen t annua ll y consume d m 5 0 ei 0,000 ; th e d u t y l ev i e d on th e quant i ty , at a mounts t h e rate which he proposed, would be 1,840,000/. ; the average rec e ip t h a d only been 1,590,000/. lie there fore estimated the increase at 240,000/. The next a rticle from which he expected an increased revenue, from a modification of duty, was timber. European timber at present paid a tax of 455. per load ; and Canada only ss. He proposed to make the former 40e., and the latter 10s. The increase from this source he estimated at 600,000/. Though he had proposed to abolish the duty on printed calicoes, yet he did not see the same objections to a duty on cotton which would affect, not one bran c h o f the manufacture, but the whole. He proposed a Penny a pound on all the cotton wool imp or t e d. From this he expecte d 500,000 / . T h e Noble Lord pro posed a dut y on exported coal, and a tax on steam-boat passengers, which would bring each 100,000/. The last source of revenue which be proposed as a compensation for the reduction or repeal of objectionable duties which be had mentioned, was a tax on the transfer of landed and funded property. The fundholder, in the opinion of the Noble Lord, could not complain of a tax which equally affected the sal e o f l an d ed estate. I t was no b reac h o f faith with him, that he was not exempted from burdens which fell on other interests. He submitted to the pro perty-tax, and hi s L or d s hi p saw no d i fference b etween t h e principle of that tax and the present, as neither were ex clusive. Th e d uty thus to be imposed is a half per cent., and is estimated. in amount at 1,200,000/., two-thirds o' Willa are expected to arise from the transfers of stock.

It is certain the taxes are to be dirni nislied,--diminished, it is conceived, to the amount of about 1,250,0001. : but while we do ample justice to Ministers for the benevolence of their intentions, the kindness of their wishes, we really cannot help expressing our surprise at the list of articles on which they propose a reduction of impost. It may be thought by some, that the people are not always the best judges of the nature of the relief to be afforded to them. We, however, are not of this opi nion : it needs no great sagacity to know " where the shoe pinches,"—" where the burden presses ;" and it would have been not only popular, but substantially useful to release or relieve those articles against the taxation of which there has been the greatest excitement. In this sense we readily allow that much has certainly been done with re spect to candles and sea-borne coal ; but who, in the name of wonder, either expected or called for any relief in the ar ticle of tobacco,—that vile, stinking, semi-poisonous narco tic, which, if it could he excluded altogether from the king dom by heavy taxation, we should be all so much the better and sweeter ? We really could not for a while believe our own eyes when we saw this article set down as one, at this time of want, from which above a million of taxation was to be withdrawn. The mistake in some other articles is less striking, and it would require our entering more into detail to expose the error. The relief afforded in the stamps of newspapers will scarcely be felt, and the scale by which we hear advertisements are to be graduated (the Chancellor of the Exchequer may not have been aware), besides being improper, was under consideration in Mr. Pitt's time, and was discovered to be vexatiously imprac ticable. The equalizing duty on foreign wines is a rea sonable one ; hut why Cape wine should be equally taxed, unless to prohibit its growth altogether, we cannot see.— We suppose the Chancellor does not expect any revenue from that branch of our colonial produce ; nor, perhaps, will any but the colonists themselves much regret the loss of the article itself. The new stamp duty upon the bona fide transfer of property, which will not affect gambling transactions and time bargains, is not, we apprehend, well judged, and will be found to oppress those who sell through distress. In fact, it will increase time-bargains, and be a benefit only to ion:Wier...—. Times. - - The Chancellor of the Exchequer brought forward last night, in the House of Commons, his budget for the en suing year. His Lordship premised by saying, that the great and general anxiety which pervaded the country with respect to the financial intentions of Ministers was the cause of the matter being submitted to Parliament at an earlier period of the Session than usual, and, though some of the estimates were still incomplete, he hastened to take the sense of the house and of the country upon the plan, with its merits or imperfectione. The Government, of which he was a member, was entitled, he submitted, to claim merit for having already abolished, or being pledged to abolish, no less than 210 offices. Amongst these were— ,. The office of Vice-Treasurer of Ireland, Lieutenant-General of the Ordnance, and Clerk of Delivery ; also Auditor of the Civil List. The Treasurer of the Military College, and the Trea surer of the Military Asylum—an office in the department of the Chancellor of the Exchequer—the Postmaster-General of Ire land, the Resident Surveyor, Resident Surgeon, the King's Sta tioner in Ireland and four clerks, certain persons in the Privy Seal Office in England; two Commissioners of the Navy, and two Commissioners of the Victualling Board ; the Superinten dents of Transports ; the Paymaster of Marines ; with his esta blishment,'consisting:of sevenpersons ; seventy persons in the:dif_ ferent Dock-yards, at salaries of from Mi. to 6001. a year; In spector. General of Stamps ; the Distributor of Stamps in Cum berland; the Receiver-General of Taxes in Scotland; forty-six Receivers-General of Taxes in England—(Loud cheers)—the Husband of the 4i per cent. Duties; the Commissioner of Se questrations at St. Domingo; the Paymaster of Sufferers and Dutch Officers;" — besides large reductions to be made in the Colonial and Chancery departments. There reductions arc more im portant as showing an economy of patronage than 01 public money. The Noble Lord then proceeded with his plan, explaining that its great object was to assist the in dustrious classes by the reduction, not of direct taxation, by v.hich they would be but little benefitted, but by the repeal of those indirect taxes upon consumable articles which had a tendency to prevent the investment of capital and the employment of labour. He proposed, therefore, to commute the whole of the taxes, or parts of them, upon the following articles, for taxes upon others, by reducing that on tobacco—One half (Irish included.) Newspapers from 4d. stamp duty, with 20 per cent. discount, to 2d. without ; and advertisements from 3s. 6d. duty, to Is. for ten lines, and 2s. 6d. all beyond. " Sea-borne coals" —in that shape, altogether. Tallow candles, printed cali coes, glass, auction duty on land, and some other taxes, to be partially repealed. The effect of these reductions would be nominally a remission of 3,190,0001; but, as they are to be partly replaced by taxes on other articles, prac tically only 440,000/. The new taxes which the Noble Lord proposed he then stated to be en the following ar ticles :—Foreign wine, which is to be equalised at ss. 3d. upon all descriptions(French wine now paying 7a. 3d.) Tim ber of all descriptions tube increased to 10a. per load. Raw Cotton, Id. per lb. Coals, as a " duty on exporta tion," 101. Steam-boats—a newly-invented impost of le. a head upon every passenger for twenty miles; 2s. and 2s. 6d. over thirty. And transfers of property, either in land or in the funds, to be charged with one-half per cent. at each transfer. The produce of this commutati* the Noble Lord estimates will be— Wine .£ 2 10,000 Timber 600,000 Raw Cotton 500,000 Coals exported lOO,OOO Steam-boats lOO,OOO Transfers 1,200,000 Making a total of X. 2,740,000 The Noble Lord then stated the general account to be thus : Income of last year X47,150,000 Arrears of Excise to be added 550,000 47,730,000 Deduct for old taxes to be reduced 3 190 000 Add new taxes ... 44,540,000 ",740,000 47,280,000 Deduct expenditure for the year :x,850,000 Clear surplus, to form a Sinkiug Fund 430,000 This statement generally was received with sati,ilic tion by a great part of the House. In the debate which followed, however, many parts of it were objected to, and particularly the tax upon transfers, which was contended to be a breast' of faith with the public creditor, and a direct violation of the Act of Parliament, which Wes said to protect this species of property against all taxes or deductions. The impost was warmly attacked, and not very vigorously defended. Some of the new taxes on the raw material toe were questioned as to their good policy; but the discussion of the articles in detail wa•• postponed by common consent to a future opportunity. The business of the House of Lords was very unimportant. --.ltlorniny Herald. The Chancellor of the Exchequer made the annual financial statement to the House of Commons last night, and proposed, it will be seen, very extensive alterations. First, as regards the reduction of taxation. The du ties on sea.botne coals, on tallow-candles, glass, and printed cottons, are to be wholly repealed ; and reductions are to be effected in the duties on newspapers, tobacco, and French wines. Of these, the repeal of the duty on sea-borne coals is a bola to the poorer classes of the com munity in particular, which will be viewed with general satisfaction throughout the country ; the same may be said as to the duty on candles; for the rest, remi ss i on of taxation is never unacceptable, though we think the ar ticle of soap might have been selected with far more pro : priety than that of tobacco; the former promotes cleanli ness, and is a necessary of life—the reverse of these qua lities appertains to the latter. The whole amount of taxa : tion remitted is 4,080,000/. ; the loss to the revenue is estimated at 3,170,000/. We now come to the most im portant partof the subject ; the new taxes to be levied to partly counterbalance the above reduction, of which the total amount is estimated at 2,740,0001. The (hale. , on the following articles are to be raised :—Portuguese wines, raw cotton, and Canadian timber; a tax is Mr ther to be laid on passengers by steam-boats; and lastly it is proposed to levy a duty of ten shillings per cent. on the transfer of stock, and impose an additional duty to that amount on the transfer of landed property. There is not one of these projects that is not exceedingly objection able. By the first, an unwarrantable injustice is done towards an old and faithful ally who affords peculi tr ad vantages to the British trade for the purpose of favouring France whose commercial policy is and ever has been hos tile to it. By the second project an important principle, that of obtaining the raw material as cheap as possible, is abandoned. The third threatens an extent of injury to the colonial and shipping interests, which we sin cerely trust no Ministry will be suffered to inflict. The fourth is impolitic, as impeding communication, which in a commercial country like this ought rattier to be by every means facilitated. But these projects, ill-judged and unreasonable as they are, sink into insignificance when we approach that monstrous violation of law and public faith, the imposition of a duty upon the transfer of funded property. Is it credible that such a proposition can be made, when a clause in every statute under which such stock has been created, distinctly and specifically de clares that NO duty whatever shall be imposed upon tra fis firs ! The argument upon which it is attempted to justify this flagrant breach of faith, is as preposterous as the proposition itself. Mr. Pitt, it is said, by his income tax, imposed a tax upon funded property, and thereby committed as much a breach of faith with the public cre ditor as can be committed by adopting the present plan that there is no distinction between the cases—and that whatever is objected to Lord Althorp was equally chargeable upon Mr. Pitt. This argument was seriously and repeatedly urged by Ministers and their supporters last night in defence of their proposed measure ; and re ally, were it not actually exhibited before us, we never could have conceived such amazing fatuity in any set of men, however ignorant or incapahl, - Can they not un derstand that Mr. Pitt's was a general income tax, to he levied on every species of income, however derived? Does not the income derived from funded property come under the general denomination, and what reason could be adduced why the income derived front that source should be exempted? would not such an exemp tion have been altogether unjustifiable ? Mr. Grant was peculiarly unfortunate in his citation from Mr. Pitt's speech on this subject. "No objection," said Mr. Pitt, " can be taken by the fundholder, since every description of income or property is equally affected." Why here is the very ground of difference between Mr. Pitt's plan and that of Lord Althorp. The former was a general tax ; the latter is partial, unjust, and illegal; a direct violation of faith and of several express Acts of Parliament. Though it is not regarded in such a light by the. Government, we look upon this measure as a revo lutionary measure; we see in it the first step towards that avowed and most cherished project of the revolutionary party,—the attack upon the national creditor ; the fraudu lent abolition of the national debt, the eternal ruin of the credit of the nation, the destruction of her character, the annihilation of her power. We should feel greatly alarmed for the immediate consequence of a such a state merit as this from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and shothl anticipate a fear ful panic in the City, did we not be lieve that the p u blic w ill p art i c i pate w i th us in thelconvic tion that no Ministry could succeed in carrying such mea sures through Parliament, and that the present Government mast either withdraw their obnoxious and absurd protects, or retire from a situation which they have *hewn themselves little qualified to fill. We have neither time nor space to treat the subject more particularly to-day, and must there fore refer our readers to our Parliamentary report for fur ther details. We must however observe that another mis chievous feature of this untoward budget is exhibited in the summing up of the reduction sod increase of taxation,. leaving a balance of about 500,000/. of deficiency to meet the charge of the public expenditure. This is the result, according to the figures of Lord Althorp; but he ventures to convert this deficiency of half a million into a surplus of about the same amount by the aid of certain anticipa tions of improvement, the grounds of which he was not fortunate enough to make anybody understand. Upon the whole the two great features of Lord Althorp's plan are 1. The violation of solemn engagements towards the public creditor. 2. The entire abandonment of a surplus revenue, and the con sequent rejection of the principleof redeeming the National Debt, We regret that a gentleman front whom we had been led to expect very different conduc', should have uttered such amtitnents in the early part of the proceedings of last night, as could not possibly be tolerated by the House. Besides being laughed and scoffed at in the course of his ludicrous and unwarrantable observations, the Speaker felt it his duty to call him to order upon the necessary points of propriety and decorum. We allude to the observations so indiscreetly made by O'Gorman Mahon, on the occasion of a petition for the repeal of the Union being presented. —Moist. Post. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, FEB. 11. CRIM. CON.—CALCRAFT V. THE EARL OF lIARBOROUCH. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated the case fur the plain tiff. 'That gentleman was, he said, well known, but rather from his connections than himself, and moved in the highest circle, being the son of his Majesty's late Pay master of the Forces; the defendant was a Nobleman of great wealth, and the lady was well known to the public who frequented the theatres as the highly-fascinating actress and accomplished singer, Miss Love. The circum stances of this case are too well known to need any further elucidation. It will be recollected that the lady eloped with the Noble Lord from Nottingham, disappointing the audience who were assembled to witness her performance on the same evening. After a few further observations, the Attorney-General read the following letter, addressed by Mrs. Calcraft to the plaintiff:— t. With heaviness of heart, ever dearest husband, I sit down to write you a few lines, and under such circumstances that they must be brief. By dint of perseverance and entreaty I prevailed upon my dearest mother to proceed, on account of her increasing illness, to Mr. Davis, where I have been with h e r, an d t h e re sult is, that she has woken one of her ribs—(Laughter) —and in such a manner that I may expect some months to elapse bethre she recovers, You may, therefore, readily understand my feel ings. But I trust to God, and I hope that he will pity me. Even if you were so placed as to make it convenient to be in town, I ant so engaged in paying attention to my poor mother, that I should not be aide to find time to be with you. My poor mother, about a month ago, received this misfortune by a severe fall down stairs, one night that I was lighting you to the coach. Stay, then, my own life, where you are. It would be better for both our sakes. It would be better for both our sakes that we both maintain our selves by our professions. You have a strong mind and sense, and may easily understand what a curse it would be to both of us if it were to be our fate to be placed under the horrlle curse of poverty. Let us both put our shoulders to the wheel then. I am now very well, but I may not be always so hearty. I eater day had an occasion to have a short conversation with Price, when I perceived that if he were at all aware of my name being changed to —, he would act in no very pleasant way to wards me. Besides this, we are never free by our engagements, and I should, if the fact were known, be obliged to forfeit one thousand pounds. God's blessing attend you, my own husband. The Learned Counsel, in alluding to the latter tint t of this letter, said that both parties were thus sensible that their success in life, or their future comfort, depended upon their own conduct. He should not trouble the Jury with many observations, as it was enough for him to show that they had been attached to each other, and that his client had been robbed of his prospects in life, which, cir cumstances although not then favourable to him, might justify hint in supposing would turn out successfully'.
