The income-tax• does not press more severely, or rather unjustly, in any quarter, than upon the in surance companies. It is well •known that these in stitutions of nec.ssity pay income-tax by d duction upon a sum far beyond their profits ; for all their income is taxed, and a part .only is profit. The busi nesi of life insurance consists in investing the pre miums received, and accumulating them at compound interest, to "meet f Imre losses. This accumulation of the income of their investments is the basis of a safe or prosperous career, for an office that should treat tins income as profit, and divide it among the parties inter ested, would infallibly soon become bankrupt. Yet as the investments are either in the furvis or mortgages, the whole income is taxed by deduction as if it were profit, and the offices pay, consequently, much more than they ought. The practical working of this has turned out even worse than the theory, for many of them have recently had notices of surcharge from the surveyor. They ap pealed, most of them, to the Commissioners for general purposes, who, being men of business, and knowing something of life insurance, immediately relieved them. Others have appealed to the Special Commissioners'ap pointed by Government, and have been sub.!ected to great annoyance in so doing, for though it is made ap parent enough that an office has paid the tax on a sum far exceeding the entire profits arising from every source, the Special Commissioners endeavour, to impose a further tax, on the allegation that there is a profit apart from the income of investment. From the complicated nature of life insurance accounts, the offices are neces sarily exposed to-great trouble and inconvenience in the detailed investigation to which they are subject under this impression, a hich is of course a fabulous one. The case is exciting the more attention in the City, because it is one of a 'Class embracing banks and other investment companies, where, by the machinery of the Act, parties ,are made, by deduction, to pay a tax greatly beyond the rate professed to be imposed by Parliament, and for this the Act affords no remedy. This form of taxation, hard enough when it is im posed tacitly by deduction from income, becomes offen sive and oppressive when sought to be actively enforced and extended by the Government officers. A correspondent offers a suggestion to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, connected with the management of the public debt, somewhat startling perhaps, but which there can be no harm in letting go to the world at la-ge. By the means pointed out, and without the imposiiion of a single fresh tax, he anticipotes the " entire liquida don of-the national debt." This is to be accomplished solely by the aid of the money saved, and to be saved, by the reduction of the Three-and-a- Half per Cents., to be applied exclusively to the redemption of the debt (say at par), and allowed to accumulate at compound in terest. He estimates that, in 95 years, the whole debt of 800,000,0001. may by such means be paid off ; but that, if this course is persevered in, the fund-holders will probably be glad to accede to a further reduction of interest, and these savings being applied in the like manner, the liquidation might be c )mpleted in 50 years, or less. Gnat glory would, as this writer thinks, redound, to the statesman who planned, and great strength to the country which executed, so magnihcenc a project; but the difficulties which beset it are, we fear, insuperable. Not to mention the necessity it involves of perpetuating the income-tax, to which alone the present surplus of revenue is owing, and for the relief from which all persons are eagerly looking to this and other sources of savini., it is a delusion to suppose that any course of financial-policy can be persevered in during 50 years, or during one half of that time. This is the old error into which . Mr. Pitt fell, in regard to his wonder-working sinking fund, and it is but a few years since that states men have arrived at Cie conviction that a sinking fund cannot subsist by borrowing, and that its only leiptimate basis is a surplus of income over expenditure. Ills, it is trite, the writer in question contemplates, but then he must keep on the income-tax, which eV! not be toleraten at all, or, at any rate, for such a purpose. THE ROYAL HOSPITALS.

As that part of i:s income which is permanent is far short of maintain ing the usual number of children, whose education qualifies them for the Church,, the naval service, arid for every station in life, according to their abilities; and as the principles of religion, as well as the due or der of civil society, are points to which their attention is constantly directed, it is hoped that all charitable persons will readily contribute to an institution, which is not only of local, but of national good. The expense of repairing and keeping up the buildings of this hospital (many of which were very ancient, and originally formed part of the old Grey Friars's Monastery) having . been found to be ex tremely burdensome, a fund was established in 1802, by subscription of the Governors and other friends of the hospital, with a view to the gradual and complete rebuilding of the whole fabric ; and a great part has ' accordingly been restored in a most commodious and substantial manner, without reducing the number of children upon the establishment during the progress of the works. Much, however, yet remains to be done; and the Governors regret to state, that the i fund originally subscribed is completely exhausted, 1 and a very considerable sum has been expended from 1 the general funds of the charity ; but they are willing to hope that the generosity of the public will afford the means of completing this great .work, and pre vent the necessity of encroaching further upon the permanent income of the hospital, and thereby di minishing the scope of its usefulness.

Many thousands of children are cured annually by this remedy ; on the first attack, an immediate application of the ENII3 ROCA. TTON will prevent the complaint taking any hold of the constitution, and a few times using may completely cure. In most cases one bot. tle will produce the desired effect ; and no remedy can be so well cal. culated for children as this, as it is an entire outward application, and requires no medicine to be taken internally. The Proprietor of this Embrocation has the pl -aging satisfaction cf stating that many eminent members of the Faculty constantly teem. mend it as the only known safe and perfect cure. In no case can this medicine be genuine unless signed on the wrapper, "J. ROCHE." Price 4s. and 11.25. per Bottle. Sold by E.

GLOBE.—The Times of this morning has the fol ; lowing diatribe against the tendencies the age we live in :-" For legislating upon utilitarian principles, —for embodying in public enactments, made for the benefit (!) • not of the law-uivers - but of others, — the '.detestable morality of Hobbes and Hume and - Gibbon ;—fdr . realising in practice that species of poli tical morality which holds that man is no more than an impersonation of capital—a mere representative of so- much labour,'—that charity is only a falsifica tion of economy,—and that that benefit of the governed,' which it is universally conceded ought to be the object of every Government,—is nothing else than the highest possible state of productiveness' to which the aforesaid subject multitude may be brought;—for legislation of this sort, we say, give us the days of king William and Qaeen Victoria, for certainly never before, since England Was a nation, has this sort of thing been more consistently carried out within the walls of Parliament." Would that any spark of the dry light of intellect of Hobbes or of Hume—would that .any vestige of the painful and diligent research of Gibbon—wero in deed, as the Times mo-t monstrously alleges, " con sistently,carried out within the walls of Parliament." Of course- we have nothing to say of the religious scepticism of these highly distinguished men—no -thing 'except what - Bacon, perhaps, in igitt- have said— that they had better have left religion unreasoned about—have left faith in possession of her rights, and reasoned .where reason could hope to arrive at .posi five and practical conclu ions. But that a slap-dash piece-work plasterer of diurnalism should flatter hirn-: self t hat he can smear over the great names of Hume and Gibbon—that he, it his Puseyite muddle-headed tress, can obscure all their genius has enlightened— that he con consign to reprobation all that distin guishes modern times from the middle ages—is truly to concentrate a whole revived Order of Jesuits in his own little person ! Vite, vite, morbleu! Eteignons les lumiares— Et.rallumons le feu! It is very true that neither Hume nor Gibbon, nor any close thinker, nor conscientious researcher of the last century, traded in clap -trap sentiments. The fitter prototype of Times newspaper philanthropy was the hollow-hearted, selfish, canting Rousseau—the caricaturist, by dint of exaggeration, of every exalted sentiment—the exemplar of every human depravation which (self-induced) cerebral deracgement alone could excuse. Bat when the Times was "pitching into" the direction impresSed on legislative intellect in these our degenerate days by the still surviving influence of the great minds of the last Cent uty, why had it no word of abuse for Turgot ? Because there are names which even the Times dare not desecrate. Because the Times, in the thickest haze of its recent High ' Church inspirations, has probably a sort of glimmering idea that in Turgot it would fall foul of a statesman who demonstrated practically, in twelve years of unoh trusive provincial administration, the wisdom of the modern economical principle of " promoting the highest possible productiveness" by admitting the utmost pos sible freedom - of industrial and commercial transactions. No, - no !—it . has not been philosophical scepticism (dangerous as we allow that is, when pushed into re gions where positive truth cannot be arrived at by process of mere reasoning)—it is not philosophical scepticism that makes legislative inroads on social abundance and happiness. We wish our legislators had some of- the wholesome scepticism of Turgot— some: of his :aversion • for allepresumptuous dogma tism,. whether philosophical or priestly. The name of Turgot will be ever identified with all the ra tional conquests of the spirit of modern impeove lia.ent. In his own days he stood aloof, on well con sidered and high principle, frOM nil those clique and coterie influences on which les-•er men lean so instinc tively. Turgot was a man of no . party, and no,philo sophical sect. The men of sects and rarties of course. .took -this exceedingly ill in him y; . and could not undere. stand'how any one could be amongst them, and not of them; His friends amongst the philosophes reproached him for not being of their mind : - and he reproached them• in turn With the foolish attempt to impose a com munity of opinions, and thus assume responsibility for those of each other. He detested all. esprit de corps (philosophical; not less than priestly), because he found, says his congenial biographer, Dupont de Nemours, that even amongst men otherwise estimable, the sort of fanaticism inseparable from that spirit seldom fails to alloy the love of truth and justice which Turgot preferred to everything. The morality of sects the most scrupulous is never so good as that of honeet individuals ! In this spirit of clique - and coterie Turgot besides found this serious inconvenience —that it tet.ded to excite animosity and prejudice in society at large agai rat those little exclusive sects and societies which form themselves in its bosom, and thus retarded the success of the good intentions of those ‘e horn their zeal excited to form these confederations. " It is the spirit of sect,' he said, " that provokes the spirit of pereecution." It is certainly true that neither Hume,'nor Gibbon, nor Turgot, would have told the labouring population that law - could get them twelve tours' wages for ten hours' work. Turgot never would have admitted into• our cosmic colonial Arrangements a fifth quarter of the globe as it were (if we may use the Iricism), and char - ged our colonial estimates with grants now for South or West Australia—and now for New Zealand —at the very time of declaring we will not take the corn our colonies can send us ! STANDARD. —The zeal with which the opposi tion journals pursue the misrepresentation first started by the Dublin Evening Mail, proves that the letter, imputed falsely to Sir Re)bert Peel by the Irish jour -nal, possesses more than a local interest.. We shall be excused, therefore, by those least interested in Irish affairs, if we return to the subject. The utter falsehood of theDublinEvening Maid's story is proved by a passage in the Dublin Statesman of Wednesday the 4th inst., which the Dublin L' , vening Mail of the following Friday has not ventured to contradict. The Statesman- is a journal of nearly the same political character as the Mail, hut the fact that the Mail has not ventured to deny that its- " appalling communication' was a hoax, or to contradict the assertion that its friend and prompter, Mr. Frederick Shaw, had denounced the utter falsehood of that com munication, is decisive. We repeat what we said; on the 22d of March, " There was not one woe of truth . in it." Th e purpose of the falsehood, - by 1 whomsoever invented, i s apparent by a passage . f a later number of the Dublin Evening Mail (March 29). The falsehood, then, was invented for the purpose of damaging the Ministry—a purpose which men may think legitimate or not, but which certainly does not justify to moralists the use of falsehood sis a means, and will scarcely justify to politicians of enlarged and patriotic views the formation of an anti. Saxon alli • ' ante in Ireland, the arrangement which the falsehood was intended to promote. As we a -- e speaking of a resort to illegitimate means, it may be proper to note a very irreverent and disgusting parody . 1 which the Dublin Evening Mail •of . Friday has thought fit to publish with ' • reference to the matter of which we are speaking. The Mail does not, as we hate said, venture directly to support the veracity of its " appalling com munication" of Alarch 20, but it presents a parody of the . third chapter of Daniel, in which Sir Robert Peel nets the part- of Nebuchad nezzar, and the Archbishop of Armagh (Lord John •Beresford), and other prAths and cler gymen are made to represent, Shadrach, Meshech, and Abednego. We feel scarcely at ease in shortly describing such a thing—and we hope that it is as disagreeable to the most Reverend Archbishop as it is to us. About twenty-seven years ago Mr. Hone was prosecuted for publiehing some paro dies upon the Liturgy, and -none of them was so offensive in form as this —none o f th em cou ld b e so indecent as a Pain(ir upon the Holy' Scrip tures themselves. ' The Liturgy, b eau tif u l as it i s , i s still but the words of man, but th e H o ly S cr ipt ures are not the words of man. We certainly welild - >not wish to see prosecutions like that of whichr. Hone was the object repeated; we much prefer tr st ing to the effect of public opini on f or th e preven ti ng of such offences as his, and we h ave little doubt that public opinion will prevent a repetition of the error of which the Mail has been guilty in this par ticular. - es ST. THOMAS'S HOSPITAL. There have been cured and discharged from - St . Thomas's Hospital, in Southwark, the last year, of , sick, wounded, ma►med, and diseased persons, 3,609 in-patents, and 37,216 medical and surgical out-patients, including casualties, some of whom have been relieved with money and necessaries at !heir departure, to accommodate and support them in their journeys to their several habita tions • 40,825 Buried from thence, after much charge in their sickness . S In-patients Remaining under cure Out-patients and ca t s unities 957 So that there have been, during the last year, of poor miserable objects under the care of the said hospital, and destitute of other - proper care, in all . _ 42,460 The Governors think it their duty to state, that in consequence of the rebuilding of London bri lge, and the formation of its new approaches at au elevation of many feet above the old level, they have been obliged to make large purchases of ground and buildings adjacent to the Hospital, at a consider able expenditure of capital, in order to secure such ventilation and accommodation as are necessary to the health and comforts of the patients. They have also been obliged to rebuild the north wing on a new site, the former building having been rendered inse cure by the removal of the houses adjoining. And they have now rebuilt and opened a corresponding wing on the south side, which had become necessary in consequence of the old south wing being so dilapi dated, badly lighted, and ventilated, as to make it un fit for the reception ot' patients ; thereby they have been enabled to admit a larger number of patients within the Hospital. It is, therefore, humbly and earnestly recommended to all charitable persons, that they would he pleased, by their contributions, to en able the Governors to defray these heavy charges, and to meet the still greater outlay which will be requi site to complete the plan of improvements now un avoidably in progress, as u ell as to continue afford ing, and still further extending relief to, the dis tresses of the numerous sick, maimed, and diseased poor, who daily apply, in large numbers, for the same, as appears from the above and other annual accounts—particularly in the class of surgical out patients, for whose better relief and attendance ar rangements upon an improved plan have been adopted. BRIDEWELL HOSPITAL. Received into this Hospital during the last year, under cqmmitments by the Lord Mayor and the Aldermen of this City, as criminal or disorderly persons, who have been kept to hard 'Labour or received correction .. BO4 Apprentices sent by the Chamberlain for solitary confinement ... Received into this hospital during the same period sundry poor persons, who have been committed for wandering abroad and begging in the City of London 1,010 • The Governors inform the public that they have opened a new House of Occupation in St. George's fields, where the honest and industrious poor (and more especially the young) are instructed in useful trades, upon a more extensive scale than has been found practicable Of late years, owing to the increase of buildings contiguous to the old site, and where, in the. case of those who have forfeited their characters in society, the great oljects of moral reform, anti iesturation of character (as contemplated by the orglnal charter) are provided for, on an enlarged scale.

The Hospital fur lunatics, on an improved plain, newly erocted in St. George's-fields, unites the ad vantages of air. exercise and out-door occupation for the patients. To extend the means of relief, however, . it must be obvious, that nothing short of liberal col- .j trlbutions on the part of the public at large can suffice, i which the Governors most earnestly solicit, and are fully convinced they shall not solicit in vain. .

The Minister of Public W. rkst is to grant a lease not exceeding twenty-eight ytara for the Belgian , lines, and the branch lines by- Calais and Dunkirk, and a lease . not exceed ing thirty-five years for the Orleans and V;eia..ua line. Should the companies, accepted by the'Mints ter, fail to comply with the conditions and elaests 'of the Bill within the space of two months, he is au thorised to get the lines executed himself at the cast of the State, 44,000,000 f. being allowed for such wor . t.s., of which' 10,000,000 f. are to be paid out ofthe estates o: 1844, and 20,000,000 f. out of those of 1845.

We understand that the memorialists, en the head of whom was Mr. Woollam, the buroughre, ye, have fared nu better than the Corporation, the Chamber of Commerce, and other public bodies, in former menu,- ' rials to the same quarter . The gentlemen have, i ett ,t te u i . received an acknowledgment of the receipt of their Ire nutria! ; but ono altogether unworthy of the Govern ment functionary who may be presumed to have direct , d its dispatch. It is one of the ordinary- prink- Al forms:, with which we can now say, from a pretty long and ex tensive experience, the Post-office authorities are wont in get rid of any petition or memorial emanating from this great mercantile community ; and as, if nothing.shoui.t be wanting to mark the reply as at once curt, uncone teous, and even disrespectful, this stereotyped document is not signed by the Postmaster-General ; it is not even signed by Colonel Mabcrly, to whom the letter was ad • dressed which accompanied the memorial ; but by some subordinate functionary or clerk in the establish:neer. These things require no comment. We understand ti, t the memorialists have determined on sending up a tle; e tation; consisting of John Woollam, Esq., boroughreel Messrs. Richard Birley, J. B. Wanklyn, and other gen tlemen, and that it is probable the deputation will pro ceed to London on Monday next—Mancleester Guardian.
