alleged object of which was to produce low prices. The public caught at the idea, and lent him a favouring gale. In 1847, that gentle and favourin g gale was changed into a roaring tempest, the winds blew, and the waves beat against the sand-founded system. It fell, and great was the fall thereof. The income-tax has been termed a war tax, and the fact of our being at peace is one of the great objections that has been urged against its continuance. This is an ill-founded objection enough; the real and only sufficient excuse for the im position of this objectio na bl e i m p os t i s , no ma tt er from what circumstance or combination of circumstances arising, national necessity—the proved impossibility of maintaining national credit, and the national establish ment by any other means. There was little doubt that, in 1848, after the bursting of the Peel Prosperity Bubble, and the occurrence of the Irish Famine, that this necessity had a bond fide existence. But where is the necessity now ? How is it that now, in 1851, with a progressively increasing revenue, with general prosperity, and a recurrent and increased surplus revenue, we are again asked, as if it were a matter of course, to consent to the extension of this ob noxious tax for a further period of three years? We are the last people to run a-muck against taxation, or to exhibit what Lord Castlereagh once called an igno rant impatience under its influence; but we do of ject to being paltered with in this manner, and we have a right to ask whether there is any bond fide intention of en deavouring to administer the finances of the country in such a manner as to put it in the power of the Chancel lor of the Exchequer really to relieve us of the burden of this particular tax or not? We own that we look with considerable alarm upon the present mode of administer ing the financial affairs of the country, and we believe it is destroying the basis on which the revenue has hitherto rested. How does the ease stand? Sir Charles Wood, since his accession to the office which be now holds, has had through his hands a sum sufficient, if it had been judiciously nursed, to have enabled him now to dispense with the income-tax. Well, what has he done with this sum? Why, he has allowed it to dribble thr oug h hi s fingers, watering, or rather barely moisteni ng , eac h d ry and gaping interest in such i nfinitessimal quantities, that though he has himself been drained in the operation, the sprinklings have not been sufficient to impart freshness or vitality to anybody. If Parliament acquiesces in the present Biedget, future Finance Ministers will have no spring left at which they can fill their pitchers but that of direct taxation. It may be asked of us—Well, what course do you, who pick holes in the Chancellor's coat, recommend ? Would you refuse the income-tax? T o this we reply—We would not at the present moment. We would not create a deficiency. We would give the Chancellor of the Exchequer, at any cost, the means of maintaining the public credit. But in return we would require an assurance—and by that we do not mean promise merely, but an assurance by something done— that eventually the country shall be relieved of the bur den of this objectionable impost. The Chancellor of the Exchequer may provide for this in two ways. He may keep his surplus in his pocket till it grows to a sum suffi cient to fill up the void which the abolition of the income tax would occasion, refusing, for the present, any remis sion of taxation, or he may eventually place himself in a position to dispense with it by the adoption of the principle of raising income by a moderate and well-adjusted scheme of import duties. The latter appears to us the only safe and sound foundation on which to build a na tional financial system; but as we have so recently placed before our readers the grounds on which we have formed that opinion, we shall not at this moment enter farther upon its consideration. The income-tax never has been, and never justly can be, regarded as an ordinary and permanent source of revenue, or otherwise than as an aid in times of pressure. In his essay, "De Plmpot," M. Thiers thus speaks of it "Les Anglais," says M. Thiers, "ne l'emploiente sous' la designation d' income-tax, qu'a titre de suppl6ment, dans les temps difficiles, en ayant soin d' exempter tousles petits revo nus, comme qui dirait une sorts de souscription, de mandee aux classes aiseJs, pour venir au secours du trJsor en detresse." COMPLAINTS AGAINST THE NEW HOUSE SlR,—Will you be kind enough to allow me to call public attention, through the medium of your powerful journal, to the following injustice connected with the new arrangement of the window duty? For the house I live in I pay rent 401., and window tax about 6/. per annum. Directly opposite my house there are seven new ones, nearly fit for occupation; they are to be let at 401. a year each; therefore, accord ing to the Budget, each oflthese houses will pay 40s. per annum house-tax, while I shall have to pay 41., viz., two thirds of the present window-tax. Will the Chancellor of the Exchequer he good enough to point out the consistency or justice of this arrange meat? I am, Sir, &c., 6, Clyde-terrace, Caledonian-road, Idingtoa, Feb. 19. H. LAW, Sin,—l an quite st a loss for a reason why the Chan cellor of the Exchequer should want to tax old houses so much more heavily than new ones. I am an old hcu•:e, built long before the present win dow-tax was thought of, and, though I contain not more windows than necessary, I doubtless have many more than it is agreeable for a man with a moderate income . to be taxed for at anything like the present rate. There is now a black-mail levied on me of 20 per cent. on the.: rental for window-tax alone, and it is proposed to saddle me in future with two-thirds of the present amount, or nearly 13 per cent of my value. Why should I have to pay that, and a new house only pay 5 per cent.? Pray take up the cudgels f)r us, and save us from this mitigated iniquity. I sn, Sir, your obedient servant, THE OLD HOUSE AT HOME. Hackney, Feb. 18. Sun,—Will you allow me to point out one case of the unfair operation of Sir Charles Wood's proposed scheme of a house-tax as a substitute for the obnoxious window duty ? The rent of the house which I occupy is 1051. per an num; the window duty is 151. If Sir C. Wood's scheme should receive the sanction of the House of Commons I am condemned to pay a permanent tax of 101. per an num, being two-thirds of the existing window duty; and this, because my house is an old one. But a f:•iend who is about to occupy a house in course of erection, and charged with a like rent, will pay only Si. ss. per annum for house-!ax; and this because his house is a new one. Can you explain the principle of this arrangement? I am, Sir, your very obedient servant, Feb. 12. A CONSTANT READER. Six,—With a view to ill ustrate the working of Sir Charles Wood's insidious scheme of increased taxation, we beg to lay before you its result in our own particular case. Our present window-tax on the house in which we carry on our business amounts to 1/. 105. 8d per an num, and the proposed house-tax of ninopenee in the pound on two-thirds of the rental will amount to 31. 1.55. It is needless to say that we are strongly adverse to a proposal which we feel convinced would raise a con siderable larger sum that the existing tax, and, in our own case, considerably more than double our pay ment.—We inclose our card, and remain, Sir, YOUR CONSTANT SUBSCRIBERS. Aldo% Feb. 20. SIR, I live in a house practically my own fcir life, which is assessed at 2 IL, and for which I pay 51. 4s. 9d. window duty. On Sir Charles Wood's new sliding scale (if it become law, unmodified) I shall pay as house-tax 3/. 9s. 10d., while my next door neighbour, assessed at 20t, will pay nothing, and the tenant of a house about to be built, precisely like mine, will pay 1/. Is. a year. What is the equity of this? Why the exemption up to 20/.? Most exemptions stop at cot. tagos. And why not charge old h ouses a shilling in the pound as well as new ones, when two-thirds of their present window-tax would exceed that rate?—Yours, YORKSHIRE.

THE GREAT FIRI3 IN TOOLEY-STREET.—The fire at Messrs. Wigan's p remises, in Tooley-street, continued to smoulder throughout tile *hole of Wednesday night, and, notwithstanding the.labours of the brigade men were conti nued without intermission, at daybreak yesterday morning the appearance of the Barnes was very— alarming. In the course of the day Messrs. Wigan succeeded in extricating an iron chest, containing an enormous amount of valuable pro-. t erty mploy of Mr. Cubitt, in bills and other securittheicontractes. A l arge body o f men, in he eor, are to commence pulling down the shattered walls this morning. No f ur th er clue as to the origin of the fire has been arrived at. ANOTHER GREAr FIRE IN THE CITY. night, at a few —. Last minutes before eleven o,clock, another eten. sive conflagration broke out in a large warehouse, No x B4 . , East-cheap. The lower part was occupied by Mr. Joseph Prime, a cheese-factor, and the upper part was in the tenure of Mr. John Roberts, wholesale spice merchant. Owing to the combined exertions of all present, extinguished, the lire by on e o ' clock was so f ar this morning, although not wholly got under a.s to allay the fears of the inhabitants as to any further extension. The total damage must reach som e th ousand rounds.

Through living in my old house', I shall have to pay 81 per cent. more than those who live in a new one as the same rent, or 10 per cent. more than my neighbour who is a shopkeeper. There is also another evil—l shall have to pay, as at present, for my workshop, which forms part of my dwelling. I believe such a measure was never be fore proposed, and that thousands like myself feel indig nant at the injustice.—l am, Sir, &c., J. AKED, Bookbinder. 1, Palagrave-place, Strand, Feb. 20, 1851.

It ap • pears that the Honourable and Reverend Gentleman ad dressed, on two several occasions, letters to her Majesty, protesting in the most solemn terms against the worldliness of the Court, and pointing out the various measures by which, in his opinion, her Majesty and her Royal Consort violated the laws of the Church over which the Queen is the temporal head. No direct communication, our correspondent adds, was made to the Honourable and Reverend Gentlema.n in acknowledgment of these letters of advice, and a consi derable time passed by without the chaplain hearing whether or not his priestly counsel was to be hereafter followed. He has, however, at length been informed that his services will no longer be required at the Court, and that his name will be struck off the list of her Majesty's Chaplains in Ordinary. The matter has not yet been brought before the publi c . When generally known, it is fully expected to form the sub ject of terrible remonstrances on the part of the Puseyite Party, of which the dismissed chaplain is one of the leading and most distinguished merabers.—Adrertiser.

In reply to Lord STANLEY, The LORD CHANCELLOR said it had not yet been de termined in which House the measure should be brought forward. Their Lordships then adjourned. In the House of Commons, after the transaction of the usual preliminary business, Mr. SLANEY moved for the appointment of a Select Committee to consider the law of partnership. His object was, by intrOducing the principle of limited part nership, to induce small capitalists to embark certain portions of their capital in trades which would prevent the accumulation of capital in the hands of great capitalists, and at the same time afford increased employment to the industrious classes. Mr. LABOUCUERE could not agree in all the conclu sions of the Hon. Gentleman, but conceiving that some alterations might be advantageously made in the law of partnership, he should not oppose the appointment of the Committee. The motion was then agreed to. Mr. LOCKE KING then moved for leave to bring in a Bill extending the county franchise in England and Wales to all occupiers of tenements of the yearly value of 101. As they had last year made a similar extension of the franchise in Ireland, he could see no good reason that could be urged against his proposition. Mr. Humn seconded the motion. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, whilst admitting that those whom it was proposed to enfranchise would exercise the suffrage with soundness and discretion, considered that the alteration was not desirable, beeause it was the principle of the Reform Bill to rest the county franchise upon the basis of tenure, and not of occupancy. On that ground he had opposed the Chandos clause, and he could not consent to carry the principle of that clause still further, so as to swamp the freeholders by the occupiers. The Noble Lord concluded by stating that he should be prepared to introduce in the next session of Parliament a measure for the enlargement of the franchise. Mr. HUME could not understand why the Noble Lord should delay the introduction of his measure for a year. Mr. COBDEN rejoiced at the intimation made by the Noble Lord of his intention to introduce a measure for the extension of the franchise. lie thought the consti tuency proposed to be introduced by this measure would be more independent than the 50/. tenants-at-will, and the 40s. freeholders would, he knew, be delighted at the success of this motion. After a few words from Mr. P. HOWARD, The House divided, when there appeared— For the motion ... 100 AgainEt it... • 52 Majority against Ministers ..• —4B The ATTORNEY-GE NERAL o b ta i ne d leave to bring in a Bill to consolidate and amend the laws relating to civil bills and the courts of quarter sessions in Ireland, and to transfer to the assistant-Earristers certain jurisdiction as to insolvent debtors. __ .... The remaining business was then disposed of, and the House adjourned. The discussion on the PRECIOUS BUDGET is to be resumed this evening; in case the Whig Cabinet shall dare to despise the voice of public opinion, loudly and unequivocally expressed, and to render an obstinate and unreasoning adherence to the unjust, impolitic, and ridiculous " scheme" of Sir CHARLES WOOD, there is still a locus penitentie of which they may avail themselves—there is still an opportunity for an honourable retreat. If Lord JOHN RUSSELL should come to the rescue this evening, as he has been compelled to do on many former occasions, and totally and unconditionally withdraw the miserable abortion that has excited so deep a feeling of contemptuous indignation and disgust throughout the length and breadth of the land, he may yet retain office and preserve his tottering Mi nistry. A considerable time must unquestionably elapse before he can regain his former position or re trieve his lost popularity. The mere fact that he could for a moment have sanctioned the ridiculous views of the mischievous blockhead who has brought odium and disgrace on the entire Ministry, must ex ercise a most damaging influence on his cha• racter as a statesman. Nothing but a bold and decisive course can avert an ignominious defeat, and as a necessary consequence a change of Ministry 1 and an appeal to the country, which, in the present state of public feeling, must prove ruinous to the in terests of the Whig party. The entire system of taxation must be strictly investigated with a view to its revision and modification. The taxes that press on industry, that retard the full development of our commercial relations with other countries, that are injurious to health, morals, education, or cleanliness, must be either totally repealed or, at least, greatly reduced, with a view to their ultimate abolition. And, above all, these palpable inequalities that shock our feelings of justice, as being repugnant to every prim?.iple of equity, must be got rid of as speedily as practicable. The people will not tolerate an habitual disregard by their rulers of those ordinary rules of et, l 3ics by which individuals must be go verned ; thoy will not sanction a palpable d eparture from the paths of honour and honesty, or suc h an administration .of the national finances as would reflect, disgrace on a private firm if it con . dtiete 4 4 its own affairs in g similar manner. Th e FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 2l, 1851. We shall now closely watch the speeches and votes on the present occasion, and we trust every consti tuency will take due notice of the conduct of its representatives, to see what claim they may have to a renewal of coafidence at the general election that must-speedily fake place, if the Ministry continue to sanction the vagaries of their incomprehensible coadjutor, and if Sir CHARLES WOOD is still to pre side over the financial destinies of the nation. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Committee on the Municipal Organization Bill is composed of 17 against and 13 in favour of the measure. The great bone of contention is the ap pointment of mayors ; the Government wish to have the right of appointing all the mayors, which would throw an immens e power i nto the hands of the Exe cutive, and enable it to exercise great influence over the elections. ".the Republicans and Legitimatists wish to have the mayors elected by the mu nicipalities. General LEYASSEUR, a devoted Bonapartist, has been appointed to the command recently held by General JULLIEN. Differences have arisen between the PRESIDENT and the Ministry. The PRESIDENT wishes a wholesale dismissal of prefects of departments, and the appointment of devoted Imperialists in the place of those dismissed. Among those whom the PRESI DENT wishes to see appointed is the notorious ROMIEU, the author of the "Era of the Coeiqrs." M. WAISSE, the Minister of the Interior, is oppo'ed to these pro ceedings, and refuses to countersign the necessary documents to carry them into effect. The PRESIDENT is desirous of having a similar sweep out of the whole diplomatic body, but M. BERNIER, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, equally refuses to sanction it. The motion of CRETON for the repeal of the laws banishing the Bourbons has been postponed until May. The ilioniteur publishes the following notice from the Minister of Foreign Affairs relative to the attempt made by some foreign agents to enlist colonists or soldiers in France for Monte Video:— "The enrolment of workmen or agricultural colonists made . by the agents or representatives of the Monte-Videan Go vernment are disapproved of by the French Government, which will oppose the m by all the means in its power. These enrolments would expose the contracting parties to disappointments of all kinds if they should succeed in eluding the intentions of the Government." The Paine has the following on tha affairs of the Eas' "The Augsburg Gazette publishes a statement to the effect , that the Sublime Porte had declared an ultimatum to the Pacha of Egypt , and that Abbas Pacha bad refused to accede to it. We must observe that our correspondence from Cun stantinople, dated th e sth F e b ruar y, does not m a k e any mention of such a fact, ry one who knows the real state of which besides singularly loses it s gravity in the eyes of eve things. In fact, a ft er the war o f E g ypt in 1840, b y a con vention signed a t L ondon on the 15t h of July of th a t year, the question of right between Turkey aed Egypt was per fectly regulated. It was decided on the one part that the sultan should accord to the direct descendants of Mehemet Ali the administration of the Pachalic of Egypt, but that on the other hand all the laws of the Ottoman empire should be in vigour in that province. This convention was ratified by the great Pow ers. The Porte, h av i n g constantly f u lfill e d i ts e n g a gements towards the Pacha, has the right to require that Egypt shall be go verne d b y the same laws as the other pro vinces of the e mp i re. If the em pire be in progress, E gypt must be so also. If she refuse, she incurs a grave responsi bility, not only to the central o vernment, but to the Powers which signed the convention of July 15, 1840." and Vierzon), 16 BUSINESS DUNE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, FEE , 20.

Let some attempt at least be made to bring this equitable doctrine into practical operation. It may not be possible to obtain a perfect measure at once ; but let there be at least some effort towards an ap proximation thereto. Sir CHARLES WOOD has un fortunately given so many proofs of the obliquity of his mental vision that he can no longer be continued in a situation for which he has shown himself to be perfectly disqualified. The man who can perceive no difference between the precarious profits ob tained by intense mental or bodily toil, and the steady and certain dividends from the Three per Cents., or well- secured ground rents— which can never fail from lassitude, exhaustion, or disease, as the h uman machine may do—is indeed placed beyond the pale of redemption. There is no hope that can be indulged in as to future amendment; and, therefore, he must be thrown overboard with the nefarious system he is endeavouring to perpetuate. One suggestion has been made as to the motives by which-he must be influenced, that certainly has a vraisemblance, a verisimilitude about it, which may in some degree explain the mystery. Ile may be fatigued with official cares, and anxious to return into a pri vate station, for which he is best qualified. If it were otherwise, why should he endeavour to continue the mode of assessment against which the community so clearly testified three years since ? Why should he, while acknowledging the injustice and impropriety of the window-tax, seek to continue it, in its present obnoxious form, to two-thirds of the amount now levied ? Why should he continue the enormous loss of life and treasure occasioned by the African squadron, and at the same time hold out a bonus to the slave-owners to continue their nefarious traffic in human flesh and blood, by equalising the duties on foreign and colonial coffees, striking 50 per cent. off the one, and only 25 per cent. off the other? Does he suppose that we regard the horrors of the middle passage with so much in difference, or that, like overgrown children, we are so much amused with the long steam chases of our cruizers after these float ing hells—the slave ships—that he must stimulate the trade, or is he afraid lest the gallant sailors in the squadron may become wearied for want of excitement, and therefore seek to provide quarries for them to pursue, that they may be at least kept fully occupied in their unfortunate position ? Why has he selected the, timber duties for experimenting on, when, if our recollection be correct, he last year, de precated any alteration therein, and declared it to be one of the last matters to be meddled with, or why does he seek to propitiate the agricultural interest by the magnificent remission of 30,0001. for the tax on clover and grass seeds ? He must de sire to show the people the contemptuous disregard he entertains for their desires and wishes, or else he must have been actuated by some such morbid desire for notoriety as that by which the incendiaries who set fire to the temple of Diana at Ephesus, or to York Minster in modern times, were influenced, or he would never have ventured to bring forward such crude and ridiculous propositions in the British House of Commons. We shall now look forward without anxiety to the result. It is impossible that the income-tax can be renewed in its present form. Let it be placed on an equitable basis, and we shall not only render a willing assent to its continuance, but even to a considerable increase, provided we receive a fair equivalent in the reduction or abolition of other more obnoxious imposts. The country is not unfavourable to the principle of direct taxation ; on the contrary, we believe it would rejoice to see fur ther progress in the path on which PEEL entered with SO much success. Sir CHARLES WOOD willfully de ceived himself when he asserted that the protests which were offered in 1848 against the unfair mode of levying the imposts, of charging as high a per centage under Schedules D and E:as under A, B, and C, were directed against the increase of the charge. We told him so at the timee, but he obstinately refused to listen to any argu ments directed against, " the conclusion at which he had arrived." He is now repeating his former experiment, and he cannot be surprised that the re suit should be similar. TIIE SHARE MARKETS. BRITISH RAILWAYS Railways. I Paid. Aberdeen.. .. • • Do.

The Colonial Markets have been rather unsettled this week, and Coffee has been more fluctuating than any other article. Sugar has been tolerably steady. In Spirits there has net been much doing. Cotton has been neglected. TaHow is much the same, and Tea in moderate request. There are no later ship arrivals, except from the United States, and the reports from the Continental Stock Markets are satisfactory generally. At Amsterdam on the 19th inst. Dutch Stock was rather improving, the Two-and-a-Half per Cents. being 59 9-16. Spanish much the same. The fact that the Bank of England did not yesterday alter the rate of discount has somewhat re-assured those who were apprehensive of more stringent measures, but it seems proper to express_an opinion, which we entertain in common with a few others, that it will greatly depend upon the circumstances that may occur during the next few days whether an advance is made. On the one hand the demand for silver to be shipped to India and China has increased, ard even geld to the amount of 100,0001. has been sent to Alexandria. There is also a greater inquiry for silver to be forwarded to Holland, but in exchange for this we obtain gold. As a set-off we may notice also the continued arrivals of specie and bullion from America, and the confident expectation that a good deal more is coming, while the price of bills upon Paris, &c., has been rather ad vancing. The prospect, too, of an influx of the precious metals when the visitors begin to arrive for the Exhibition will not be lost sight of in a consideration of the future course of aetion, and unless the amount of paper offered for discount at the Bank of England increases the directors may decide upon waiting a while ere they charge more. The rate out of doors was full 3to 34 per cent. up to yesterday, and is now barely 3, with more money offering. Ere the transfer-books for stock close, there will be an opportunity of seeing whether an advance in the rate for temporary loan's upon Exchequer 'bills, &c., is desirable, and it is important to bear in mind that Government has adver tised to renew the unfunded debt at lid. per diem, which it would experience some difficulty in doing if the Bank of England made money at the precise time of its renewal, even % per cent. dearer. The English Stock market is exceedingly dull, and the defeat of Ministers last night, with the presumption that they must modify the Budget or resign, hinders business. Consols have been 961 s 4, and are now 964 N. The New Three-and•a-Quarter per Cents. have been quoted 98% 3 / 4 , and the Three per Cents. 96%. Bank Stock is sup ported at 2154.

By land car riage and sample the supply fresh up to-day was small; nevertheless, owing to the immense quantity of foreign Flour reported-7,580 sacks and barrels—the demand for all de scriptions was dull in the extreme, at almost nominal quo tations, and a total clearance was not effected. From abroad 2,120 quarters of foreign Wheat have come fresh to hand. Selected qualities were dull, but mostly held at fully late rates. In the low and middling qua lities scarcely any sales were reported, and th e y were considered the turn lower. The show of Barley was principally composed of Monday's unsold samples. Even the finest malting qualities were very dull, and prices of all kinds were with difficulty supported. Malt, the supply of which was moderate, sold slowly, yet the quotations may be considered steady. We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily su pplied with - Oats, which moved off slowly, at the late decline. Indian Corn, Beans, and Peas very dull. Low qualities of Flour were offering at is per 2801bs less money. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. At per stone by the Carcase. s..d. to sd.
