MAIDSTONE, MAY 29.—The fine and warm weather of the past week hae sent the blues up the poles apace, and some of our crack grounds are now presenting a respectable appearance. Where available, considerable work has been done with the spud and hoe, towards set ting the gardens in order; but the heavy and beating rains that fell at the_ commencement of poling, followed by a continuance of dry and parching weather, have rendered the surface of. the land harsh and arid; and many are awaiting the assistance of some good soaking showers before they again attempt to disturb the tough and sullen clods that in the stiff soils now bid defiance to the nidget and hoe. Some good warm showers would now be very generally beneficial. Fly, though few and far between, may now be found in the gardens around us, whether they are the precursors of a more numerous flight to follow, another week or two will determine. . NlEREwoara, MAY 29.—The blues have now attained a good Haight, and- look strong; considerable progress has been made within the past fortnight, owing to the favourable. change in the weather. The fly has been seen, but not to any extent. No safe opinion can be given as to the crop, but the general opinion is that it will not be an average one. WARDLN MAY 28.—1 n this neighbourhood we are rather bac kward. and the flea has been seen. Under the tuflueuce of improving weather we expect to have a good yield of produce. 13RENCHLEY, MAY 28.—We have made favourable progress in this beighbourhood, but have already to c. , euplaiu of an app. ammo of the flea in sheltered situ ati,ns. Tee complaint, is not general. LINTON, MAT 28.—The young bine in this neigh bourhood looks very strong and healthy. All our plan latiOnB are in a forward state. We have seen little of the ft / . btr there are a few spread about. YabDreo, MAY 29 —Our hops are thriving under the influence of improving weather, On the whole we are rather backward. A little fly is seen here and there, but nothing to speak of. BABES, MAY 29.—The hop plantations in this parish are going ou very well, the forward or early-dres.en gr,,uedi have the advantage at present, the bine being nearly halt up the pole Some gardens, we observe, ar ia a bad state of cultivation. We do not hear of any f 1,.. at present. . UDIMORE, MAY 29.—The hop grounds are looking in a gruw.ng state, nut much labour will be required to get the land in a good state of cultivation, owing to the want of rain. ICELESHAII, MAY 29.—We observe some of the emit gruundsut last year are not looking well at. present, bring backward and wi-a, in bine; generally speaking, hue ever, the bine looks HAWILREIRST, MAY 29.—The hop blues are very backward, and coma uneven, and the land in an unlend state, requiring great labour to get in good number. I find more fly to day and plenty of flea. GOUDIIIIMIT, MAY 29.—The weather for the last few days htt.4 b en more favourable fur the hops, and :he) have made considerable improvement, tieing being it full operation. LoosE, MAY 29.—Our hops are growing, and it ge neral the bine is good. We find a few fly, and in some places a considerable quantity of flea. PEMBURY, MAY 29.—Our bop-bines are progressing most favturably, despite the coolness of the air. Ismany grounds they have advanced nearly half-way up the pole. We do not yet appear to be attacked by the formidable fly. CRANIUM* MAY 29.—The hops in this neighbour hood, tilt within the last ten days, bad a very backward appearance; since which time they have muds great progress, the • bine having nearly, in some gardens, reached the top of the poles. EWHIJRBT, • MAY 29.—Hop-poling is now Aniahed. but being a week or ten days later than usual, some of the grounds have not been thinned, nor can they be until some rain falls. The bine is uneven and backward, but clear from fly. SIINBRIDGE, MAY 29.—The hop-bine is growing fast, and looks at present clean and healthy. HARTIPIELD, MAY 29.—Our bine is looking, healthy, furnishing the poles well. Tieing is becoming general, some rain and warm nights would improve them con sides ably. WITHYHAM, MAY 29.—The bine is improving fast, and considering ,the late ungenial tendency A the winds, they are progressing tewursbly. SANDHURST, MAY: 29.—The bine is backward, but taking the cold nights into consideration, it has made pretty fair progress within the last few doyen We have some fly in thia parish, as many as tour hive been found on a leaf. Many ,of the gardens are in a wretched state from want of cultivation. Gaoomatunag..ria.r 29.—The hops in this neighbour- hood are progressing favourably, though some gardens were visited by the late bail storm, and the bine received ti jury. In some plantations the Ilea made its ap. pearanoe. but we are generally h - Yr and with the re. his h 66- frebhing influeuce of a good shower bid:lair for a crop. COWDEN, MAY 29.—1 n some of our gardens the poles are middling furnished with bins, but on the whole we are very uneven and backward, Poling was only brought to a close the latenr pan of last week; we have a bmali sprinkle of fly. lIEVER. MAY 28.—Our bine, where. the ground has been well tilled is, we believe, now going on well. CHIDDINGSTONZ, MAY 28.—We have some bine that is now doing well. but we are very platty. BATTLE.— The bine is tied and has run half-way up the pules in some few gardens. A continuance of the present warmth is much wanted. WESTERHAH, MAY 28.—The hops in this neighbour. hood are, in general, looking well, considering the back• ward season, the bine looks growing, but not of good colour. They have made good progress this last Iv, elt. WALDRON, MAY 28.—The bines in this parish and neighbourhood are considered to be rather backward, but are now growing very fast and likely to make up for lost time. BuronTurta, MAY 28.—We have to report . the ar- rival of fly, two on a leaf, and they are on the increase. B.une of our gniunds are also auflering from the ravages of flea; upon the wholew s e — ar l e h n s u y t e ve b r !en thriving.

There was a large is! umber of troops present, the pensioners taking the right and the marines the left„ the 23d and 77th the centre; re aching from the signal station on the west to the gate Jeading out on Stonehouse Hill to the east, two deep. 'The firing was not so good as oa some former occasions; said to be in consequence of one of the field pieces In issing fire. On the weole the strangers were gratified. The only ships (hat fired were the Impregnable, 7&, flag ship; St. George, 120; and Bellerophon, 78; but the little battery at Mount Edgcumbe, as usual. joined in with its 21 guns, which had a very pleasing effect.

APPALLING SUICIIJE BY A SER GEANI: OF TUE EIGHTY SEcOND FOOD. An intense sensation of horror was created through out this tuwn, on the afternoon of Friday last, by the in telligence that a sergeant of the 82d Regiment of Foot had wilfully blown out his brains with a musket, in the military infirmarylr hospital at John's Town. Upon inquiry the information was ascertained to be too corr. ct, anti it wan avired that the unfortunate man, whose name was Ro o-rt Dodd, had been sent to the infirmary on ae 7th of play instant, having been for some time past suffering from delirium tremens. He continued in a dreadfully exch. d state until within two or three days of the com mission of the fatal act, when he appeared to have im proved so considerably as no longer to require careful .vstchMg. Thecompany to which he bs longed being about to embark for Pater, it was deemed proper that such of the patients as were able to carry their arms and ,ammunition to the place of emtiark ation, should do so; and, accordin ks ly, several firelucks and cartouch boxes were on Thursday and Friday transferred from the barracks to the infirmary, where they were depo sited in a small store-room opening into the pa sages. w hich was locked, and the key placed on a st 7, It above the dour. The deceased was sitting in the k:teben, in company with another patient, about half lust three o'clock in the afternoon, when he Budd, my nose, and, without speaking a word went into the passsge. His companion, almost immediately after wsrds, hard a rustling or rattling noise, as if some on e was moving the 6telocks, and was pro ceeding to ascertain the can-e, when he heard the dis .‘hacgo of a shot, and on opening the door of the store (tour toned that deceased bad blown his brains out by introducing the muzzle of a musket (which be must him self have loaded) into his mouth, and discharging the trigger with the butt end of his ramrod. The body pre ,entrd a frightful spectacle, the whole of the right side of the skull being blown away by the bullet, and a portion of the scalp having been severed and attached by the f tree of the exptosion to the ceiling above. It appeared from the evidence adduced at the inquest, that tne unfortunate man had a few days previously attempted to cut his throat in the presence of some of rho other patients, who, very culpably, neglected to report the circumstance to their superior officers or the medical attendant. Had they done so there can be no doubt that proper precautionary measures would have been adopted, and the poor fellow's lite saved. This will appear of the greater importance, when it is stated that he leaves a widow and child to lament his loss, and he had only to serve about lour months to en , title him to retire ment upon the full sergeant ' s pension.

This advance is considered a good omen, an. I is look e d upon b y agr i cu l tu rists as progressive and permanent. It is also worthy of notice, as showing the con oitton of the three counties of Pembroke, Carmarthen, and Cardigan, that th e co ll ec t o r of the inland revenue in this circuit, just completed, did not meet with a single defaulter. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, June 2. ARREST OF ABSCONDING DEB I'ORS BILL. Tne Earl of lIARROWBY moved the second reading of this Bill, the object of which was to facilitate the arrest of absconding debtors, by enabling county court judges to issue warrants for their arrest in the same manner as such war rants were issued by the Judges of Westminster-hall at pr,ss tit; it eas proposel to give a similar power to corn mitssioners in bankruptcy fur issuing warrants. L BROUGIEA.',I believed that some such measure ss this was gr.& ally wanted. He thought, however, that some means should be adopt, d to ascertain whether an alleged debtor was really in debt or not. Aster a few words from Lord Cranworth and the Lord Chancellor, and an explanation from the Esrl of ilarrowby, the Bill was rtad a second time. PUBLIC WORKS IN INDIA. Lord WHARNCLIFFE then rose, in pursuance of his notice, to move for papers relating to public works and internal improvements in India. As he believed that the Noble Lord on the opposite benches who pre sided over the administration of affairs in that country concurred in the propriety of producing these papers, and as he did not believe that any other of their Lord ship would ottioot to their production, he ;night perhaps ~ K - ` ~ EVENING, JUNE 3, 1851. have abstained from offering any remarks to their Lord ships; but, considering the nature and importance of the subjsct, he hoped that he might occupy the attention of the House for a short time while ho explained the grounds on which he made his motion, and the position of the country which would be elucidated by acceding to it. It had been said on a former evening by the Noble Lord opposite (Lord Broughton), that the East India Company were the trustees of the Crown for the benefit of the people of India; acd if that were true, he trusted that he might add that the Legislature and the Crown were also the trustees of Providence for their benefit. Such being the case, and there being no question as to the importance of the motion, he must remind their Lordship that in the year 1842 the late Sir R. Peel, in proposing a plan for the arrangement of the finances of that part of our empire, called the attention of the House of Commons to the manner in which the condi tion of England was influenced by the flourishing or depres-ed condition of the finances of India. He (Sir R. Peel) spoke of the condition of India in a financial point of view, but he (Lord Wharncliffe) should proceed to view it as a great social, moral, and commercial question. He was justified in asking for these papers on those grounds, but he had also other grounds for requiring their production. The communications made to Parliament respecting the internal improvements of India were singularly rare. There had been an objec tion to proceed with any public works in that country without the previous consent of the Government at home, and the consequence had been that amid all the multiplicity of papers transmitted by the fficials of the East Incite Company to the directors at home, on com mercial, judicial, political, and military subjects, there was only to be finite' one single paper, from 1834 to 1851, respecting public works. That in itselt was a 9uflicient reason for requiring further information. Iu the time when the ancient dynasties of India ruled over that vast empire, large canals and other works for draining and irrigating the country existed in the north-western provinces of India and near the sources of the Jumna and Ganges. It was a reproach to the present Government of India, that such works had been allowed to fall into decay and ruin. The Noble Lord referred to the canals which have been constructed in India, and to the returns which they have yielded, but in so low a tone of voice that it was impos• sible to hear more than an occasional word. As to roads, there appeared to be very few parts of India in which good practical roads existed, and where they did they were of ten rendered useless by streams which there were no regular means of crossing, so that the difficulty of removing from one part of the country to another was exceedingly great. The stoppage of internal traffic from the want of good roads and bridges was so great that grain was sometimes sold at a famine price in one part sf India, while at another, not more than 300 wile. distant, it was selling at the lowest conceivable price. Though the necessity for grain in one place was most urgent, and though it might be most abundant iu another, the want of the proper means of communication rendered it impossible to supply the deficiency. It was a singular fact that in Mysore the roads were in far bet ter condition generally than in any part of the British territory. He contended that as a matter of pribcip!e it was the duty of the East India Company to proceed as far as it possibly could in the execution of public works in that country, so as to develope to the ut most extent its great and growing resources. Of course, the means of doing so must depend very much upon the state of the Indian finances. He found that from the close of the great Burmese war down to 1838 there existed in the Indian Exchequer a consi derable surplus; its the years 1835-3637, it amounted to 3 470,0001. From that time to this, however, there had been a euccessien of military events by which the company heti necessarily been driven into great expen diture., and in 1848 49 the surplus had been converted int ) a deficiency (as we understood) of 2,800,0001. This state of matters was, no doubt, inimical to the con struction of public work*; but, nevertheless, he could net help thit.king that much more ought to have been done, and that the' cessation of public works had in it self proved injurious to the Indian revenue. For the last 20 y.a-ta the re venue of tne East India Company had been 16,000,0001., making an amount of 320.000,0001. during that period, while the greatest sum expended by them in any one year on public works was 238,000/. It was but justice to the Indian Government to say. however, that there were several canals now going on. He trusted that the prove ct before them was better than fur some years past, that they would not have so many military calls upon them as unfortunately had been the case, and that therefore the Rest India Com pany would be able to enter upon the execution of public works in that country with more vigour and earnestness than hitherto bad characterised the admi nistration of India. The Noble Lord concluded with moving for papers connected with the construction of works in India. Lord BROUGHTON agreed with almost every word that had fallen from the Noble Lord as to the impor twice ef this questiun, and he thought the Noble Lord had pursued the course which was best calculated to produce the result he had in view. IL- had only done justice to the East India Company when he referred to their intentions in this matter though he (Lord Brough ton) was not prepared to say that on the whole more at tention alight not have been paid by Indian Govern ments to the construction of public works. The Noble Lord had stated truly that during the course of many y ears, especially from 1837 to 1846, the East India Com pany was engage d in the most expensive wars, and that therefore it wan impossible for them with the same earnestness to carry into effect any great works. But even during those nine years of war the Government of India had done very great things in that direction, for he found a considerable sum annually expended on public works. The Noble Lord had referred to several works in progress, and he would now state more in detail the expenditure incurred in some of those undertakings. On the Western Jungle Canal, 425 miles in length, a sum of 352,0001. had been expended ; the Eastern Jungle Canal, 160 miles, 194,000/., and a canal in the Bengal Presi dency wet 552,000/. The Ganges Canal, 452 miles, with a bratieh in aduitioe, was calculated, when completed, to cost 500 000/. In the Madras territory there were woks else in progress. The Tanjore Canal would cost 30,0001. In Sinde there had alSo been an outlay, though not vary large; and in the Punjsub the present Governor- General had devoted 50,0001. a-year to the construction of canals. Besides these works, which were of very great importance, there had been the trigonemetricat survey, costing 341,000/. As to the finances, the last balance-sheet, presented to Parliament in February gave a rather better account of the state of Indian affairs than the Noble Lord seemed to suppose. The, sketch esti mate for 1849.50 showed instead of a deficiency a surplus of 70 000 L [Lord ELLENBOROUGII here made a remark across the table.] Ho was quite aware that this was only what was called " a sketch estimate," and he would not say that at the end of the year the result was equal to what the estimate held out; but, at any rate, the finan cial prospect was much more favourable than last year they bad any reason to expect. He had not only no ob jection to give the Noble Lord the papers he had moved for, but would do so with great pleasure. In conclusion, he would say that it signified little what had been done in times past, it they had the assurance that more would be done in future; and he concurred entirely in the hope expressed by his Noble Friend, that no more ware would occur to inter fere with those me esures that were neces sary for the improvement of India, and the development of her resources.—(Hear.) The Eat! of ELLEN BOROUGH expressed his gra tification that the Nobet Lord who bad brought forward the motion, and who at an early period of life had given his attention to the affairs of India, should still take an interest in those affairs. If in this country it was essen tial to draw water off the land, it was essential in the East to bring the water on the land for the production et any crop. In England drainage might improve the soil, but in the East that result was to be sought by means of irrigation. He had never seen greater cause fur encou ragement than the statements of Lieutenant -Colonel Dickson with respect to the works constructed under the direction of that gallant officer. He had been informed, however, of the prejudicial effect which the Delhi Canal (as we undetstood) exercised on the health of the inhabitants residing in the neighbourhood. Coming in contact with the chiefs, he had asked them what was the effect of that canal on revenue and on health, and, in answer, he had learned that while they bcknowledged a great improvement in the revenue, they greatly deprecated its influence on the health of the enjoining districts. Ile mu.; be permitted to express The apprehensions he entertained with respect to the Gauges Canal, if it were to be executed in the way proposed; and he wished to cell attention to the ex tremely perilous character of the undertaking in at tempting to draw water from the Gauges at the point intended. But there was another matter on which he tied also ineieted, namely, that it should first be a canal of navigation, and whatever surplus water there was might be used for irrigation. He was satisfied that in all cases where the tormadon of the country was such as to render it possible to have tanks, it was better and cheaper and more convenient to have a mode of irriga tion by them than by canals. Of late years there had been great improvements made in the roads of India, but such improvements went on slowly; the persons who superintended their construction were engineer officers, who were not only liable to have their attention occasionally taken off that employment, but among whom there might be expected to exist such varieties of industry and ability as would account for the different progress made in the execution of works. It woule be with great satieaction that the Noble Lord at the head of the Board of Control would he ar the hope expressed of something like a surplus in India. He (Lord Ellenborough) had at one time gone easefully over the accounts, but he did not see his way tie a surplus, though the state of matters was very much better than when he arrived in India. With respect to railways, he would much rather that the Government of India should, if it approved of their formation, dispense altogether with the aid of speculators, and take the mat ter into its own hands. To that Government the estab lishment of railways must be a great benefit, as affording facilities, not only for moving troops, bringing but for raw produce to the sea. It a railroad could be formed from Bombay to the cotton districts, an d measures were taken by the Gov. rpment for the improvetuoheetofcottun in India, much would be done to secur e attainment of one of the greatest namely, independence of America not be u a n s t r o at th e ia r country as food; and they cou ld injects this count!) , could have in view as connected with Indite; America for a supply; but that cotton t be f d h found in tbe territory; lied ear to h ave the introduction of cotton in territory th e Br of t'' h a l interrupted as of food. H e dowers. it was sC I i o t t l e t o b n v4o had examined the subject o n the spot; he had considered it deeply; he had sent home the result of his inquiries. Let the Noble Lord read the answer, and he could not wonder that he (Lord Ellenborough) felt disgust that the efforts of a public servant should have been not only met by captious objections, but by a sneer against hits for those very efforts. it 'The Earl of HARROWBY deprecated what he thought the pitiful expenditure for the benefit of 100,000,000 of Britisb subjects in the East. There seemed to have been from the beginning a radical dt feet in the Indian Administration: it was the primary duty of a paternal Government to provide for the formation of roads and the extension of irrigation; and he contrasted the con duct of the Mahomedan conquerors, who had reckoned it a first duty to astend to these matters, with that of their European successors. The motion was then agreed to. The LORD CHANCELLORpreeented a Bill relating to the regulation of charitieF, and deieribrd it as being grounded on a report u hich would be laid on the table to•morrow, and which would go to show th e a b Ao l ute necessity of some Bill of the kind. The bill was rrad a first time. " CLEOPATRA'S NEEDLE." The Marquis of WESTMEATH. wished to inquire what steps had been taken for obtaining possession of, or for removing, the obelisk called " Cleopatra's Needle," in consequence of the gift made to George IV. by the late Pasha of Egypt in 1620? The Noble Marquis adverted to the proposal made fur its removal to this country at the end of the campaign of 1801. The opinion of the late Sir Robert reel expressed to himself was that it was a monument which ought to be brought to Lon don and erected as a memorial of Sir Ralph Abercromhy and others who bad fought and died in Egypt. The late Sir G. Murray also stated that he joined with all his military and naval friends, who desired that the obelisk should be brought to this c.)untry. Some ob loquy had been thrown on the condition of this monu ment, under the impression that it was not of adequile value to compensate for the trouble and expense of re moval. Perhaps the intrinsic value might nut be much. but, as a monument and as a trophy, it had a value pe culiarly its own. The sculptures, he understood, were in comparatively good preservation. He had called at tention to the subject solely at the request of several military and naval offict,rsl_ The Earl of CARLISLE aknowledg.d the importance which attached to the otwlisk. not merely as a memorial of the ancient art or Egypt, bat also as a monument of British heroism. He had consulted with his Noble Friend the First Lord of the Treasury, and inquiries had been made on the subj.- ct. There were, he appre heLded, some mechanical difficulties, and all he could say wat that the matter was still undar consideration. The Bridges (Ireland) Bill was read a first timp and their Lordships adjourned at a Quarter to Eight o'clock. ROUSE OF COMMONS, June 2. INCOME TAX. Mr. HUME nominated the Select Committee to in quire into the subject of the income-tax, consisting of the following gentlemen:—Mr. Hume, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Hors/ran, Mr. • Herries, Mr. 'Labouchere, Lord Harry Vane, Mr. Disraeli, Mr. Thomas Baring, Mr. Henley, Mr. Cobden, Mr. Frederick Peel, Mr. Roebuck, Mr. Ricardo, Mr. Vesey, and Mr. Beckett Denison. The course he thought which would have to be pursue el by this Committee in their labours would be, to as certain the workings of the tax in all its ways, and to see whether any mode could be adopted to render it more fair and equal, and as . little as possible oppressive to the industry of the people. Be looked forward to the present inquiry to render the tax a means of maintaining one uniform system of charges in the country, without the necessity of more extraordinary charges, which they bad witnessed of late years, and which , he contended, even it they were for the better, yet at first produced lass evils. His earnest wish was to retain a permanent system. Mr. BERRIES said when he had voted for the motion of the Hon. Member opposite to limit the tax fur one year, he certainly did not mean his vote to involve an assent to the present inquiry, and more especially when he now perceived that the intention with which the Honourable Member went into it was not to abolish the tax but to mend it, cer• tainly, if he could ; at all events, to make it permanent. That principle be differed from altogeth.r. There was also another point on which he differed from the Hon. AL mber, and that was that the chief grievance of the tax was in schedule E. In his opinion it VOUS schedule D which %earnest faulty and unjust. Tee Hon. Gentleman had adverted to Mr. Yitt , but he had forgotten that there was a wide difference between the circumstances of 1798 and those of the present time. The tax might have been expedient then, but it was totally uncalled for now. To show the injustice of the tax he might mention an instance of ine quality which had come under his own observation. A certain manufacturer had returned his profits at 70,0004 a year; but the local commissioners were dissatisfied wish that return, and in order to avoid a lull investiga tion into the whole of his private affairs he was obliged to pay the tax upon 130,0001. But that was only one instance of its .injustice.—(Hear, _ hear.) Now, with regard to the Committee, be did not think it bad been fairly selected, and he was very much afraid that it would accomplish no useful end. The tax was full te inequalities, unjust, in its operation, and liable to encou rage fraud, and he therefore thought the beat thing that could be done was to abandon the tax altogether. Colonel SIBTHORP thought - the tax in any shape would be objectionable, and be agreed with the Riot Hon. Gentleman that the prop. sed inquiry could lead to no good result. He complained that no Member has been seleoted to serve on the Committee who would_ he likely to represent the interest of the army and navy. He,_ for one, thought. officers in the army and navy, who lived upon their pay, ought , to be exempted from the payment of the tax, and he was, on that ac count, the more annoyed at the omission referred to. Mr. V. SMITH had come down to the House under the impression that there was nothing else to do but to nominate the Committee, but it appeared to him now that the appointment of any Committee at all was an open question. If it was he was quite ready to vote that there should be no Committee, for he was averse to shitting any part of the responsibility which duly belonged to Government on to the shoulders of a dozen Members of the House. What would this Committee have to do supposing it was ap pointed? At one time it was supposed that the object . of its appointment was the equalisation of the tax, but now it appeared the question to be decided was how far land could be relieved from its operation, and if that really were so, how could the Committee arrive at any satisfactory conclusion on that point, when nine Members proposed to be nominated • would represent towns, and only six counties?— (Hear, hear.) He leper.' the House would make some alteration in the constitu lion of the Committee, it they were to base any at all. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER bad un derstood that the tax was to be continued tor a year, and, in the meanwhile, a Committee was to be appointed with a view of rendering it more equal. in its operation before it was rendered permanent. The discussion which had just taken place showed the inconvenience which arose from two parties professing opposite principles uniting to carry a particular motion, because now it seemed that while one aide wished to improve the tax with a view of rendering it permanent, the other wanted to get rid of the tex altogether.—(Hear, hear.) The Government could not accede to the latter proposal, and they had consequently no alternative but to consent to the appointment of the Committee, and now that such motion had been agreed to, their object ought. to be, so to constitute the Committee thu. it should represent every shade of feeling in the House. The Hen. Gentleman who bad named the Committee appealed to have been actuated by that desire, and he thought on the whole that the Committee, as it now stood on the paper, was open to little or no objection whatever. He, however, thought the sugges tion of the Honourable and Gallant Member for Lincoln was well worthy of attention, and if any Gentleman could be placed on the Committee who could represent the feelings of the army and the navy on the autoect of the income-tax, it was extremely advisable to d o s o —(Hear, hear.) Mr. FRESHFIELD moved as an amendment that the order for the appointment of the Committee be read-fur the purpose of bing discharged. Mr. DISRAELI said the Chancellor of the Exche quer had referred to an opinion he (Mr. Disraeli) bad expressed the other night, but he . had not quoted his observations quite accurately. What he had stated was, that in votiqg fur the motion of the Hon. Member for Montrose he did not vote for the Committee, but that understanding it was the feeling , of the Government, and shat the sense of the House wiles in layour of the mo tion, be gave his assent to the Committee; and as he had always objected _ to' subjects ot importance being die cussed and decided upon false privtencel. he had agreed to vote fur the motion. But the Chaucellor of _the Ex chequer misunderstood him when he stated that he bad agreed with the Hon. Member for Montrose that the subject at issue was one which ought to be referred to a Committee. What he did say was, that the ltr edu wss susceptible of modification in schedule A said in •bh thele B; that as it had been modified in sc schedule A sched ule B; di. Government, it was not impossible butita ns, e had there fore, b g fled also in schedule B—(Laughter) th st._ not objected to inquiry , bat tha n he ill hope d modification would be effected , by her M a j e st y 's that Minis ters. If the Hon. Gentleman, theitefhre, still wished for a Committee, though be (Mr. Diar sty) _had.vnotepar,_icular desire on the point, be should give, himhiso But he appealed to the Hon. Member to consider all the dream stances by which the ques t ion wits surrounded. T hey were on the eve of the holidays—et month had already been lost in the matter; it was not possible, in the pro bable period that the session would last, to inv es ti gate thoroughly the whole subject, and the Committee would h ave to make an incomplete report, or to be re -appointed ag ain, and again b eg in their labours i n t h e next session. Tnen the materials of the Committee were not of that nature to give satisfaction to the House. None of the authors of the law, for instance, were on it. Irre spective of their high positions, it would be the greatest advantage, in point of satisfaction, to have some of those gentlemen who passed the Act of .1842 on the Com mittee. There were other Hon. Memilers also whose services were not called into requisiti o n, whom it would be equally satisf a ct or y to see on the 'ommittee. He (Mr. Disraeli) put it to the Hon. Member, therefore, whether—commeeciog at the fag -end of the session, with .a Committee composed of such unsatisfactory materials —there was any hope of coming to a fair conclusion on the subject of his inquiry? Therefore he trusted the Hon. Gentleman would give the matter more considera tion under the circumstances. Mr. AGLIONBY protested against what he held to be a fraud on the House and on the public. He did not speak of any motion in particular, but of the proceed ings of that House. The majority bad limited the in come-tax to one year, and that majority was composed of those Hon. Gentlemen opposite who were of opinion that an inquiry might be properly entered into, with the view of making the tax more equal. A large number of Members, however, would not have supported the motion fur huiting the tax to one year, • but, on the contrary, would have supported its further coutusuance for three years, only that they believed there would be an inquiry as to its operation. . The motion for limiting the.,tax to a year had. been carried .911. this Ist 000 , 3% 60 %I the Bth . of May the motion for a Committee had been put and carried. Fur the House, therefore, to rescind diet order in au indirect 'oral was a dargerous operation. It it did so, be (Mr. Aghonby) gave notice that in cue the reso lution to retied the vote of inquiry into the income-tax was carried, he should move the extension of the tax to there years. Mr. HUME explained the course he had taken in the construction- of the Committee. On the House decidittg that there should be a Committee be bed put down on the list only tour nerves en his own side; and these were the names of Hon. Gentlemen who had brought forward sate stautive motions on thesubject of the income tax in 1847-8 He had then crossed over to the Hon. Member for Buckinghamshire, and showing him his list, asked him to recommend four of his friends, which was done—the Hon. Member being himself the fourth, only at his (NU- Hutne'e) expiess solicitation.. He (Mr. Hume) then went to the Right Hon. Baronet the Member for Rips and asked lann to serve on the C. mmittee with. three or his political friends of the Peel Administration, but.that Right Hon. Baronet declined to do so. He (Mr. Htune) atter this went to the Chancellor of the Exchequer,- ex pressing a wish to have Mr. Goulburn, Mr. Card well,and Mr. F. Peel. These formed eleven Members if • they . ' chose to serve. The members recommended by 0 0 Chancellor of the Exchequer were put on, with the ex ception of Colobel Rawdon. The Hon. Member con cluded by stating that he would cast the onus of the Wit ter on the Government, by pressing his motion. Mr. DEEDES bad supported the motion on arforne occasion to limit the income-tax to one year, on the- dis tinct understanding that a Committee shouid be I' pointed to ieqaire into the operation of that tax. Jr could not, therefore, vote for the amendment. He et" jeered, however, to the way in which the landed interest was represented on the Committee, though he admitte d the couipoeitien of that b o d y was b etter than last week* He (Mr. Descles) objected a l together, however, ' to the two Members tor the West R i di ng b e i ng on the: Coln' mittee, and he could not, moreover,- see why the HO& Member for the Qu-en's County was pl ace d upon it, ev cupt with the ulterior deject o f extend i ng the i nco me" tax to Ireland.--(Cheers). He, therefore, recommende d the Hon Member for Montrose to suspend for the Pre' sent the further nomination of the Committee, with the view to meet the objections that existed against its cola' position. - • . fir H. WILLOUGHBY said that the Hon. Member for Muetrose forgot one step. He gave notice of his motion on one night, and on the'next he carried a mo tion which had in its terms been changed.. The Honer , therefore,' had no opportunity of coming to a decision oa the question. _ Lord J. RUSSELL said the Hon. Gentleman would have prevented some difficulty had he in the first instance adapted the suggestion of the Hon. Member for the West fluting by moving for • a modification of the tax, if h e .ished to have a modification. The House would then have known what they were about, and the Hon. Mein" bars could then have voted for the proposition or against it. The vote for a Committee of Inquiry the other night had been supported by the 230 Members who were in favour on different grounds. No wonder, then, there should be a misunderstanding on the matter.. After -the vote had been come to the other evening, hostated that Government wero willing to consent to an inquiry by Committee into-the tax, and that if a Conimittee were appointed. it should be - as far as possible constituted of irrsone taken from both sides of the House conversant with subjects cf finance, and who would be received , bi the Committee as authorities on that subject. Tha t Was one way in which he wished the Committee to; be appointed. But the Honourable Gentleman had -Dot succeeded in his object. In the first place, Abe certain gentleme n b e l ong i ng to the Cabinet and h o lding office under the late Sir Robert Peel had not consented w act on the Committee. The Committee would not be such a Committee as he could approve. of. Then there was one name on the Committee to which - he should-de' cidedly object—it was the name of-the Chancellor of the Excite quer. He did not thick the Chancellor of: tb; Exch quer ought to go into a Committee of that kin , ' with two or three gentlemen who might be of his opinion to contest such points with the other Members, e s-to whether there should be a modification et . the income' tax, or otherwise. Such propositions ought to be ode by the Chancellor of the Exchequer himself in Cool; mittee. Tbere was only one thing- which remained,' and that was—if the Hon. Member for Montrose did proceed to propose etioh a Committee, he should come to some agreement previously with other Hoe. Members, who might be able to meet the arguments relative to the in herent defects of the tax beteg, as he bad been told be bad once stated, unequal, vexatious, and fraudulent He could not vote for the amendment. Mr. HENLEY said it was bard for the Hon. Member for Cockl-rmonth to take the course be had taken. The House was placed in this position—the Noble Lord said the Committee could not be constituted 'in the-'way be could have desired; therefore, let the Hon. Member for Montrose have his Committee to work its own wicked will. He had no duubt of the ability of the Hon. Mem nor, end the strong case - the Committee would present, but he considered such a Committee would not command the cuilfitieuce of th- country, and therefore he mast rote for the amendment. Mr. HOlibAtAN said many similar motions bed been made with various fortune. But so far from the preheat embarrassment having arisen from the views of extreme parties in that House, the truth was, that the embarras ment bad been caused try Government relying with too much confidence on the votes of their usual supporters. He considered the Hon. Member for Montrose bad taken the only course that was suited to the nature of the oc casion. The Hon. Member's object was not to make the tax perpetual, but to make is more equal. There were various opinions as to the tax—his 'was ' that the tax, as an experiment, had b een a t ten d e d with great ad vantage. I.lr - . T. BARING said the country would never permit the tax to be continued without a Committee of Inquiry. He could not vote for the amendment. He could not consent to shelve the inquiry unless some security' were given that the tax would not be made a permanent tax. Mr. LOOKER said no one on his aide of the House would desire to give a shock to public credit by with• drawing the tax at a time when the financial position of the country might require it; but he certainly did not approve of the propteal for making it permanent. He approved of it in the original sense, and fur the original purpose for which it was proposed. Mr. COBDEN had voted against the motion of the Hon. Member fbr Montrose the other night, because he motion was calculated, in the form in which it was entitle, to obtain votes from Hon. Gentlemen opposite who did not entertain the same views on the question 'fetich he did. He had made appeals, private and public, to the Honourable. Member against bringing forward his motion in its original form. He assumed that a Com mittee would be granted, but he sever expected ,it.y good from the Committee as fir as the one year was cencernt d, because be was satisfied a majority would be decidedly opposed to such a modification. ile wished to vote on the subject of modification: The Hon. Member for Cockermouth said if so, that would oe assenting to the principle; now he wanted to let the country see what the House said and what the House did on this question. lie was of opinion the House and the country were labouring under a delusion on the -übjeet. The press bad led the country to believe that the Reuse desired credit for the honesty and bona. .fide chatacter of the decision which had been arrived at. He had voted against the Hon. Member when the pro posal was to linsit the tax for one year; but he could not vote against the proposition for a Committee. lie confessed he would prefer to have the tax, bad as it was, for three years rather than one year, because be did not look at the question per se: he looked at it with reference to the whole of the taxation and the necessities of the revenue. If the income-tax was bad, other taxes were worse, and pressed more injuriously on the people. He should vote in good faith for the motion, although some Hon. Member said it was impossible to turn round, and, in the face of the country, vote in the teeth of the former vote. Mr. BERRIES was understood to say he would vote for the amendment. The House then divided-- For the amendment ... 94 Per the motion ••• ••• ••• 193 Majority against the amendment... -- 99 On our re-admission to the gallery we found Mr. HORSM AN inquiring when the nomination Of the Committee would take place ? Lord J. RUSSELL was understood to name Friday. Mr. MON6ELL wished to know whether the Ecclesi astical Title, Bill would be proceeded with on Friday If so , it would prevent many Hon. Members from leav ing town on account of the holidays. L ‘rd J. RUSSELL must proceed with . the Bill OS Friday. He could nut consent to lose a day on account of the reason alleged by the Hon. Member. ECCLESIASIICAL TITLES ASS UMPTION 'BILL. The House then w ent into Comm ittee on this Bill. Mr. WALPOLE rose, and said be promised on Fri day to state the course he intended to pursue with re spect to certain amendments be had to propose. lie wished to support the Noble Lord as far as he could in his Bill, and at the same time he wished to make the Bill as complete as he could, and as effectual for its purpose, before it passed through Committee. He had in conse quence given notice of amendments, which he considered to be all right, in themselves, and some absolutely essen tial for the success of the Bill. Feeling this he said that he could not consent to give way as to any amendments on which he believed depended the success of the mea sure; nor could be give way in any amendment, unless some strong countervailing reason was shown to induce him to do is. Two reasons bad been assigned why be ought not to press his amendments. Oue was, that the declaratory clause, or, as the Hon. Member for Dublin said, the Walpole clause, bad given almost all he asked for, in effect—and, therefore, it was unnecessary to press it. The other reason had been intimated by the Noble Lord opposite, that Members friendly to the passing of the Bill, when they saw the various delays and impedi meets to the progress of the Bill that had taken place. would be of opinion that the friends of the Bill ought not to add to the delay or increase these impediments, Be was strongly of opinion that these reasons ought to have great weight with him —so much so, that he thought it right, having a little leisure to spare from business in which ha vas otherwise occupied, to reconi-ider the whole subject, and, having done so, to state to the Committee what amendments be would press and what amendments he would waive. Haring obtain, d the deeldri,tory clause, which, to his mind, was of more seer . stance than anything else in the Bill, and fearing to impede the progress of the Bill through Committee, Le should propose nothing but what was really essential to the proper working of the Bill. He thought three things were essential. In the first place, he considered it was absolutely essential to the proper wot king of the Bill that it should clearly lay down, define. and point out the coestitutiunal principles on which the 11.,1150 proceeded. Since the dt bate o n Friday last h e was more convinced than ever that the supposed ambiguity existed more in the minds of its opponents than in the clause itself.
