In the CrOtnnittee on the Appropriation Bill, in the House of Commonslast night, Mr. UnmE said, he-hoped GoVernment would abandon the prattice Of Purchasing foreign Wood, for building our ships ; we had plenty of wood in this country as fit for that purpose as any that could be pro cured from the Adriatic." We apprehend that' thiS expression of the lion. M.ember's wishes is not quite . Consistent with his favourite notions of economN, and that the purchase of British timber for ship building would be found much more expen sive to the country than the manner of obtaining the supplies Which is now acted upon. There are, however, certainty many. other considerations, beSides that of economy, which might to be duly weighed in deciding upon :r question of this kind; 7 - Amongst these are, the increased circula tion which might thus be given to the internal wealth 'or the country—the stimulus to home pro duction—and the policy of 'encouraging the re gular supply •of an artiee, of so much importance to our power and even our safety, of our own growth, altogether independent of foreigners.— We shall make it our business to make some exten sive inquiries relatii.P to this subject; and may one day return to its consideration. They are points of view kern which Mr. JosrPit HIT ME very ldom surveys anrof the multifaiqous affairs to whic e turns his attention. We know not by what ac cident he has fallen from his usual perch, and is found, for once, upon the liberal and enlightened side of a question. - -In our Paper of yesterday we inserted an arti cle from a Correspondent, entitled "A Proposal to Relieve the Distresses of the Country," which has excited the favourable notice aof another Cor respondent, to whose communication, signed " ANGLICANUS," We give a place this day. The plan of • relief recommended by these intelligent .writers is, that several of the taxes most oppres sye upon the industry and enterprise of the Country Should be repealed, and that new taaes, amounting to snore than an equivalent for the taxes so proposed to be repealed, should be im posed, I I posed upon Lands and Houses, upon Occupiers, upon the professions of Law. Medicine, and Surgery, and upon the Bri:i.sh Fundholders. Thel taxes proposed to be -abolished, besides that on Agricultural Horses, are, those upon Salt, Tea. l l, and Coals, the Shop Tax, and three-fourths of the duty upon Foreign Wines. These proposi ' Lions deserve serious consideration.—We will venture to lay it down as a principle that the pressure of taxation ought to vary—tO be in creased in some quarters and relieved in others— according to the alternate.elevation or depression of the great branches of the national interests, which occur • in their perpetual involutions. Though necessity may sometimes have compelled Govermnent to act upon this principle—that is, though the falling off of a particular tax, or the irresistible opposition of persons interested in its repeal (sts'svas the case with the late PrOperty Tax). may have compelled its abolition, yet . we believe such an occurrence has rarely prdceeded from an accurate observation of the changes which are always taking -place in the various in . -, terests of the nation, and from a wise.foresight of the prospective consequences to which those changes are calculated to give rise. Thus, at a time when the value of laud was rapidly rising, and. when the pursuit of roriculture was highly, profitable, it would have been judicious policy s to have imposed the chief - . weight of taxation directly upon land, and upon the implements or produce of husbandry, and to have relieved ,the pressure upon such other property or pursuits as were either sinking'or remained nearly . station ary. Of the latter description were property in the Foods, and•someof the branches-of Manu factures. While the expence of living was dou bled, the.income of the public annuitant remain ed stationary, and he WAS therefore clearly not a fit object of additional direct taxation. The relative situation of the different classes of the people, however, is new 'very different from what it was some time since. By tire reduction of the Currency, and other causes, particularly the vast additions made to our psoductive powersithe value of land, of agricultural produce, and of the returns from manufactures, commerce, and even the retail trade, has been immensely de predated ; While the real value of funded pro perty has been enhanced not less, 'perhaps, than 25 per cent. Let us apply- the principle, with. I • I the knowledge of the facts to which we have briefly alluded, to the propositions of our Cor respondents, and we shall find that the pressure of taxation, not only upon the Farmer, but even Upon the Land-owner, as well as upon the Ma nufacturer, Merchant, end Shopkeeper, ought, if possible, to be relieved, and transferred in some measure to the Fun4:halder. Our Correspon dents, however, are not perhaps aware, that the , tax of one per cent. or one and a half per cent., which they have proposed, (in order to be pro ! ductive of .8 or 12 millions), wonjd have to be imposed upon the capital, not the income of the Fundholder. Thus an annual -tax of one per cent. upon a hundred pounds stock, supposing the funds to yield 4 per cent. would be a tax of twenty-five par cent. upon the annual income of the fundholder ; and a tax of per cent. upon the stock would 'amount to 37f per cent. upon the income!—This is clearly a very excessive, if not a monstrous proposition ; and is neither more nor leis than proposing that from one-fourth to above one-third of the poblic debt ahoold be at once extinguished !—So far as a tax of three or five per cent. upon the dividends would be a re lief to the productive classes, we think it advis able ; and we feel assured that it Would neither . shake public credit nor be: deemed unjust even by the fundholder himself.- e --The proposals to take off the Shop Toe, and to,impose a new tax upon the learned profe.ssions, are inconsistent with each other. We should be glad to see the shopkeeper relieved ; but we should be sorry to . see any additional difficulties thrown in the way of persons 'who at present find obste,rles enough opposed to the successful exercise of their talents. If th rofesden- which have been pointed out w 1 st now unusually 'pro fitable—if the number of Gentlemen exercising them were too limited—and_ if there were an eager competition amongst the sons of respect able families to enter into their practice--those professions might be fit subjects of taxatiou.—As the reverse of this, however, is the case, it would seem to be sound policy to offer inducements to well-educated and respectable men to adopt professions, the just and honourable discharge of whose duties is of so much importance to the community at large, rather than to hold out dis couragements to them, for the sake of raising the paltry sum of 150,0001. per annum.—Every well-wisher to the prosperity of the Country must be desirous of the abolition of the taxes upon Salt and Coals."—The policy of repealing the duties upon Tea and Foreign Wines is, in our humble judgment, by no means so obvious. A letter from Plymouth contains the foliouing passage, which, if correct, is of considerab portance " PLYMOUTH, JUNE '24.-13y an arrival from the Havannah , [ the affairs of the Patriots are by no moans in that flourishing state in - which the interested- would wish to make them appear Lord Cochrane has raisti the blockade of Callao, and Genet, San Martin is retrograding."
