More than three weeks have elapsed since the Nestor of Reform carried his amendment limiting the duration of the property and income-tax to a single year. The object of that amendment was not to get rid of the impost as a source of revenue. On the contrary, the Hon. Gentleman clearly and distinctly explained his views, which were strongly in favour of direct taxation. He, however, objected to the un equal and inequitable mode of assessment, and the injustice of levying the same rate of charge upon terminable and perpetual annuities, and upon fluctuating and varying incomes from trades ai.d professions, as upon fixed incomes from real pro perty, and he desired that a searching investigation should be institived into the entire system, in order that it might be ascertained whether the evils so loudly and so justly complained of might not be greatly modified, or altogether removed. His pur pose was unequivocally explained in the motion it self; there could be no doubt or difficulty in the question. Lord Joax RussELL acknowledged his defeat, and declared that the Government was pre pared to agree that there should be a fair cad full in quiry upon the subject. The appointment of a Com mittee was carded without a division in the following week. If due diligence had been used, that Com mittee might not only have been nominated, but its labours might have beon nearly concluded ere this time. Nothing, however, has been done. Three weeks have been wasted in the most important part of the session, and fiscal reformers conceived that the promised and anxiously-looked-for investigation had been postponed sine die, and that the CHANCELLOR of the ExcasoLuzz had succeeded in shelving the topic for the remainder of the year. At length, however, we find some appearance of activity. Mr. Hume has given notice for to-morrow evening of the nomination of the Select Committee- We know not whether Sir CHARLES WOOD has sig nified his assent to the selection, or whether we shall witness a repetition of manmuvres and divisions simi lar to those which took place on the nomination of the Committee on the commercial crisis of 1847. The Right Hon. Baronet then boldly and unblush ingly avowed his very peculiar opinions respecting the composition of such bodies. He declared that a Minister must be mad if he consented to the appoint ment of a Committee, unless perfectly certain as to the nature of their report. He seemed to think that the sole purpose of such an inquiry was to strengthen the hands of the Ministers for the time being, and to diminish the responsibility that might devolve upon them if they adopted a bold and manly course, with out previously obtaining the sanction of such a tri bunal. We ven►ure, however, to assert that the community in general entertain very different views on the sub ject, and that nothing could more completely destroy the slender reputation still remaining to the Govern ment than any attempt to cushion the inquiry, or to pack the jury who are to decide on the matter at Lord JOHN RUSSELL has given a promise as suit mn as any that could have fallen from the lips of a public man He has declared that, " bowleg to the opinion of the House, the last thing he should think of doing would be evading an inquiry which he had agreed to have in.tituted." We look to the Noble Lord for the unconditional rede ption of that pledp. It is itcp.-2rative upo❑ him, if he entertain any regard for his own character, to control the vagar►r.s of hit colleague, and to prevent him from di-plsyicg any ri-gree of Parliainentary strategy on the occasion. Far better that there should be uo inquiry than that its result should b 3 a forgone conclusion, that the people should feel that they have been defrauded, or that they should be compelled to protest against a verdict returned against the weight of evideoce. No sophistry can satisfy those who for nine successive years have been unsparingly victimised that the equal taxation of all descriptions of income, no matter from what sources derived, is just or equitable. An artist or author, barrister or physician, does not enjoy his income by as sure a tenure as the fundholder, who can reckon with perfect certainty on the receipt of his demands to the very hour. Tne merchant, trader, or EMU- facturer may be disappointed in his reasonable ex pectations : his anticipated projects may be converted into serious, aye, ruinous loses. But the fortunate proprietor of well circumstanced chief rents will have nothing to fear. He may disregard the fluctuations of the money market ; whatever may happen his in come will be safe. The act of PROVIDEN E may in a moment deprive those chargeable under Schedule D of the experience and energy that constituted their chief, if not their only capital. Their families may be lLft without provision, and, if at all prudent, a large proportion of their receipts should Theshouid be d evo t e d t o guar d aga i ns t suc h contingencies. tax-gatherer, however, interposes, and by his unrea sonable demands prevents the prudent act. He carries off the money that should have gone to the insurance °floe ; and the impoverished and unprotected family too late lament, n u t the improvidence of their de parted parent, but the injustice and impolicy of the law that has consigned them to poverty and destitu tion. It will depend on the decision of the Com mittee to be appointed to-morrow whether such things shall be of frequent, aye, of every day occur rence. We therefore emphatically call upon the in dependent Members to be in their places during the nomination, so as to prevent any unfair selection, and any further unnecessary procrastination ; so that a fairly constituted Committee may be enabled to enter on their important duties within the present week. Elaewbere, in this evening's impression of our jour nal, we publish a communication of considerable interest relating to the graveyard question, trans mitted to us by a very intelligent and well-informed ' correspondent. From his observations it will he ob served what little progress has been made up to the present moment in regard to the organ intiou of any thing like a regular system of extramural interment. All cry and little wool is unfortunately a saying that holds good in this as in so many other instances were the slightst reform is preferable to the noisiest agi • tation. During fifteen years the evil of promiscuous and un restr i cted burial within the metropili!an bills of mort ality haw bcen proclaimed with an enip' basis that defied indifferepcp, and f,r a considerable time we may aver that the truth of that assertion has been very generally r ecogn i zed and appreciated. Scarcely an individual, we believe, throughout the whole country LON DON, can now be discovered so callous or so ignorant as to advocate the perp-tuation of a custom which all alike know full well to be pregnant with influences so per nicious to morality, so prejudicial to religion, so strangely in violation of the sanci.y of the grave and the solemnity of dissolution. Thanks to the nume rous promoters of inquiry into the subject, the grim reality has been long undo ked. Th.nks especially to one energetic and self-sacrificing reformer who, by per sonal researches of the moat loathsome nature and of the most indefatigable frequency, laid before the public eye the whole of these detestable abominations. Pepuhr intelligence has extended so far by this time upon the subject that it is scarcely necessary to remind anyone of the man alluded to, by giving the name of GEORGE ALFRED WALKER, a name deservedly regarded by the community with sentiments of sincere and re spectful thankfulness. Repeatedly as we have found occasion to revive to public remembrance the mate rials he has mastered so thoroughly, we yet un happily discover that his endeavours, and those co operative efforts made by ourselves and some few other members of the Fourth Estate, have until now proved to all intents and purposes unavailing, in spite moreover of the fact that a Bill pretending to force the desired changes has been carried through both Houses of the Imperial Parliament. Those who have scrutinized our conduct in regard to this enactment will bear in recollection the circumstance that from its outset we protested against the Bill in question being hailed as a boon by the less discerning and the more enthusiastic. 'We eharacterised it, in short, as little better than a sham and a delusion, a specious pretext for thrusting more power than ever upon an establishment already overladen with authority, and a flimsy pretence of good such as through its instru mentality could never be realized. Gladly should we have recognized the falsification of our predictions as to the measure; such satisfaction, however, has un fortunately been altogether denied to us—the Act proving in every particular little less than a dead letter. Interments still take place in the very midst of our metropolis. London with its two millions of inhabit ants augmented by an extraordinary influx of foreign and provincial visitors, is still rendered daily more insalubrious and pestilential by the laying of new sources of nuisance in the fetid soil of our city grave yards. Within a stone's throw of the spot where we are writing these very words, holes are being dug from time to time in the rank earth surrounding the churches in and contiguous to the Strand, and those living in the vicinity have the air they breathe perpe tually more or less poisoned by the exhalations reek ing from the dead men's flesh. &Inember, these things are occurring diurnally in some part or other of the capital, the Metropolitan Interments Act to the cur' trary nevarthekss notwithstanding. Surely it is time that something should be effected in the way of a wholesome innovation, now that we see the Sanitary Commissioners at Gwydyr House so habitu ally remiss io abstaining from all interference, when we discover such incori iudiff,rence in the course pursued by the Government, and perceive, in addition to all this, the inefficiency of the advance movement made with so much noise end parade by the upper and the lower branches of the national Le gisLaure. Wnat is wanting is a practical and com prehensive innovation. We want the total and imme diate closing of the intramural buryiug-grounds; not a partial closing of them, but one, we repeat, total and immediate. We want the simultaneous opening of one or more cemeteries capable of containing the dead for many years to come, and situated at a sufficient distance from the capital to render impos sible the infection by this means of its atmosphere. In order to secure these advantages it will be requi site to fix upon a site very different iu nearly every respect from the majority of those hitherto sug gested. Among all the various localities suggested as yet, there is but one which appears to us to com bine within itself the requirements here specified. We mean that of Woking, in the county of Surrey. For the purpose of enabling all who may be solicitous to examine themselves the merits of the spot named, we would most earnestly direct their attention to a pamphlet* recently compiled by one of the most sin cere advocates of the scheme of extramual interments, a pamphlet in which the project of opening a grand metropolitan cemetery at the place just men tioned is fully discussed and clearly explained. Its pages will testify that the projected Necropolis possesses advantages more numerous and important than those of our eight London cemeteries all put together—namely, Brompton Cemetery, Mensal-green Cemetery, Highgate Cemetery, Abney Park Cemetery, Victoria Cemetery, Tower Hamlets Cemetery, Nunhead Cemetery, and Norwood Ceme tery. Although removed two or three miles beyond Oatlands, the Woking burial spot, the National Mau- soleum, as it has been designated by its projectors, would still be accessible from the metropolis by means of the South-Western Railway. From•the testimony of Sir RICHARD BROUN we will this evening extract but one brief passage, but a passage, we conceive, strangely significant :—" Fifty thousand bodies," says he, "might be interred yearly in the Necropolis for three centuries and a half, without disturbing the re- mains of even the humblest individual that shall ever kind sepulture within its walls." Couple with this flet the consideration that the ground it incapable of cultivation, and consequently all the better for the purposes of sepulture, and we cannot but think that the community at large 'oust be impressed with a sense chat here a'. least is a scheme entitled to the fullest hnd the most dispassionate investigation. + " Synopsis of ant L9ndo❑ N, cropolis and N,,tional NLiusol, Ilia at %Yoking, in the County of Surrey."

On Friday there was a very animated discussion in the Assembly, on the occasion of the verification of the election of General DURRIET for the Department of the Landes. M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN took the op portunity of indulging in a violent attack on the Minister of the Interior, for having improperly inter fered in this election by transmitting a telegraphic dispatch to the Prefect, desiring hiaa to afford all possible support to the candidate, who was opposed to the repeal of the Electoral Law of the 31st May ; M. Limns FAUCHER, who is not the mildest tem pered man in the world, retorted in strong language, and a regular scene was the conic • quence. Ultimately, a vote of censure, which M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN had proposed on the Minister, was rejected by 372 to 233. The most im portant event of the discussion was an announcement on the part of M. Banocne that the Cabinet bad de termined to uphold the electoral law of the 314 May, an announcement which may be taken as an authori tative declaration that the Elysie is no longer fa vourable to universal suffrage. The Siècle pretends to be able to affirm that, not withstanding the declaration of M. BAROCHS, in the name of the Cabinet, that the Government bid taken the electoral law of the 31st May as its drapau, the PRESIDENT continues to disapprove of the restricted Suffrage Bill, and desires to see it repealed. The key to the enigma was, however, fur nished on Friday evening, when the club of the Rue des Pyramides resolved, on the motion of M. DE MONTALEMBERT, to support a partial revision of the Constitution, that is to say, the alteration of that portion of the Constitution only that prohibits the re-election of the PRESIDENT. It is evident, therefore, that the PRESIDENT has given up the cause of universal suffrage (to which alone he owes his present position) in order to purchase the support of M. DB MONTALEMBERT, and the parti• pretre who, in return have sacrificed what they have hitherto termed " the sacred cause of Legitimacy" to secure the aid of the PRESIDENT in their crusade agai nst the cause of civil and religious liberty. In the Committee on M. Moan's proposition, relating to the reception of revioion petitions, I'lM. Dil BROGUE and MONTALEMBEET more than hinted that th.'y were prepared to have recourse to a soup or eta to secure the prolongaticn of the PRESIDESiT powers. On Saturday, the discussion of the law for the regulation of the National Guard, gave ride to a series of se , -nes as disorderly as those of the day pre ceding. M. NAPOLEON BONAPARTE attacked the Bid and its authors iu moat tineneusured term?, and proposed an amendment, which alter u stormy dis cussion was rejected by 416 to 224. The old Legi ticnatist General GEAMitioNT then proposed an amend ment, which, it adopttd, would hsve been tantrunoutit to a clis,,olution of the National Guards, and in pro pu-ing it gave uttk ranee to those f , elii , gs of contempt zind hatred wish which the old nobb sse revwrd the bourgeoisie, this brought up M. LEON FACCHUR, wliu offended the National G uar d, and declatrd that had it not been for their services in June, 1848, the army could not have saved Paris. General Cloult- MONDAY GAUD, General LAURISTON, and several other mili tary officers bore testimony to the merits of the National Guard, and the debate was adjourned. A special steamer, the Eilaireur, has been sent with important di.pstches to Grneral GEMEAU. The in ,-ructions of these dispatches hive been moqved by the inrrigu , s of Cardinal ANTONELLI wi.h Austria, and urge General GFMEAU to occupy end fortify Alone Mario and the points of vantage-ground about li.me. Th- Salut Public of Lyons states that it has been detioi ively settled that the persons implicated in what is called the " Lyons plot" are to be seat for trial before the second Court-martial of the 61,13 military division. A supplement to the llfoniteur Algerien of the 15th states that a conflict had taken place between the Kabyle tribes, which had been excited to insurrection by the pretended Chief BARGHELA, who had dared to advance as far as the plains of Bougia, and the French troops. 800 BARGHELA advanced on Bougia at the head of a numerous troop of horse and foot. On the 9th Colonel DE WENGY, with all the disposal forces of his garrison, about 900 in number, advanced as far as the Oued Seghir, three hours march from Bought, in order to cover the retreat of the chiefs who had re mained faithful to the French, and who were retiring on the town with their families and their flocks. In the morning of the 10th they had all entered the town. On the morning of the 11th the hostile bands were observed approaching. The garrison was soon under arms, and outside the walls arranged in the most advantageous manner. Colonel DE WENGY im mediately advanced to the attack, and a charge of his cavalry put the Kabyle horsemen to the rout, fifty of whom were left on the field. In the mean time the artillery kept up a sharp fire on the groups of in fantry, and the French infantry advancing completed their defeat. Several hundreds of the Kabyle in fantry were killed or wounded. The loss of the French was very trifling. After this defeat Bou BARGUELA retired towards the head of the valley. His adherents are said to be much disconcerted at the bad success of a man who promised them, in the name of heaven, that they should obtain a complete victory. The militia of Bougia were under arms during the combat, and gave proofs of great zeal in guarding the posts, and in escorting the ammunition to the field of battle.

The insults (Hared to this peaceable population to prevent it from using tobieeo. have called the attention of the Government to the best means of guaranteeing the free exercise of legitimate actions, and subjecting as soon as possible the persons guilty of such crimes to their due penalty. Wherefore, according to the orders of his Holiness, we publish the following dispositions:—Who ever renders himself guilty of promoting, favouring, or executing any act directed to hinder the free exercise of lawful ac:ions, and se disturb public order, will be sub jected to a summary judgment, to carry out the penalties determined by law.

" G. Cardinal ANTONELLI." The Opinione of the 21st states that it has received intelligence that Lord PALMERSTON has addressed a note to the Tuscan Government demanding that an English subject, named PUCKFMANN, arbitrarily ex pelled, shall be indemnified, and permitted to return to Tuscany. In the sitting of the 19th of the Chamber of Deputies cf Turin, Sig. VALERIO addressed a ques tion, of which he had given notice, to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, on the subject of the diplomatic re lations of Piedmont with Rome, and of a rumoured league of the former power with the other States of Italy, The Minister replied that the Government was undoubtedly making every effort to restore har mony between the Church and the State, but that it would never sacrifice its duty to the country in order to obtain that end. The Minister added that the only cause of Count SiccAapt's resignation was his precarious state of health, and that as to a league with the other Italia❑ States, there was no foundation whatever in that rumour. SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 20th have arrived. The Epoca of that day says— " The friends of the Cabinet asserted yesterday that the Ministry, fearing that on the question of the regula tion of the debt the re-united opposition might again beeorne the majority, would at first present the budget, and in case the aspect of the Parliament was not favour able they w.:tild prorogue the Chamber to September or October, and thus drive off ;he question of the regula tion .it the debt. This appears to us to be impossible arer the solemn engagements entered into by the Pre sident of the Council with the representattves of foreign creditors. It is more probable that the budget and the prrject for the regulation of the debt having been presented, the Ministry will ask for powers to carry thim both into ex curi, , n, and it will be on this ;round that the parliam-ntary battle will be fought." A telegraphic dispatch of the 24th from Madrid had been receiv d in Paris announcing the appoint ment of the Marquis of AllitAll.olttsB as Foreign BOLSA, MAT 20 —Three per Cents., 36f; Five per Cents., 16k.

The Duke of SALDANHA and 3,000 of his troops arrived on the loth, and made a grand triumphal entry into the capital. He was most enthusiasti cally received. On his arrival he published the fol lowing proclamation : Inhabitants of Lisbon,—The banner which I had the honour to unfurl is so eminently national, that it was scarcely known but it was immediately adopted in every part of the kingdom in the most sincere, open, and resolute manner. We consolidate the throne of her Mak:sty Donna Maria 11. and her dynasty; we reform the constitutional charter; we make a free election, in order that we may have a true national reprcsentati.aa; and the aye, em of immorality and corruption, of peculation and robbery, that the Government had established in theory, substituted by justice and liberty, by morality and economy. " In a few hours I shall be among you: I know that the agents of the corrupt and corrupting Minister wait for that moment to raise seditious shouts; if such happen, apprehend the first who shall do so, and deliver him to the authorities, that he may be punished. "I have the most intimate conviction of the nation ality of the banner I unfurled; and persuaded that my fellow-countryinen of Lisbon know me, I am certain they do me the justice to believe that I will use every means within my reach to cause it to be respected. (Signed) " DUKE OF SALDAHANA. "Head-quarters, Oporto, May 9, 1851." Immediately on his arrival he had an audience of the QUEEN and of the KING-CONSORT, and was very graciously received. In the evening he went to the theatre, and was greeted with loud Vivas ! The QUEEN and her husband were received in silence. The brother of Count DE TitomAE, Senor SILVA CABRAL, was one of the first to pay his respects to the Duke of SALDANHA. The Duke visited the dif ferent members of the corps diplomatique, and also called on the widow of Don PEDRO. Don CARLOS MASCARENHAS bas been dismissed from the command of the Municipal Guards, and the Baron DE FuaNcos has been appointed in his stead. Several colli'ions have taken place between the garrison of Lisbon and the troops of SALDANHA. The Ministers appointed are the following :—The Duke of SALDANHA, President of the Council and Minister at War, the latter ad interim; he has also the Interior, to which he was appointed before his arrival. The Baron Ds Luz, who gives up the In terior, which had ad interim, remains as Foreign Minister, and Minister of Marine and the Colonies, both ad interim; FRANZINI remains as Minister of Justice and Finance, so that this may only he called a Ministry of transition. The Dukes of SALDANHA is also appointed Commander in Chief of the Army ; and Don MIGUEL Ximicesss sub. chief of the staff. lion PEDRO DA COS/TA, a nephew of SALDAISHA, has been appointed Governor of Oporto. The following is the Duke of SALDANHA's adieu to Oporto:— " Brave and generous Inhabitants of Oporto—l leave you full of graltude. In thus taking my departure I feel as if a portion of my ht art remains among you. It is with sorrow I !pave the walls of your city. Your grand and enthusiastic ideas, your dedication to me by such g.tnerous actions, your love tor our dear anti un fortunate country and for the honour of the Portugu(se name, will alwa) s be present to my memory as a testi mony—that dear testimony—of affection which you have manift-sted towards me. Believe me, I feel proud in having merited these aff ctions; and the last hours of the 27th of April will be engraven on my mind as th© most brilliant of my life. " Valorous Inhabitants of the unconquered City,— Receive this my most cordial and sincere expression of aff-etionate acknowledgment. I. go, accompanied by part of the brave reg-nerating army, to enter the capi tal, there to comp:ete all my thoughts, which are as pure as your loyalty and patriotic as your hearts. Oporto nians! Confide always in me, as I confide entirely in you, and let the whole of us put our trust and confidence in that Providence which never will abandon this country. " DUKE DE SALDANHA. " Head-quarters, Oporto, May 11." GERMANY. The Bavarian Chamber of Deputies was occupied on the 16th and 17th with a discussion on the report of a committee recommending a customs union with Austria, in the interest of Germany generally, and as a counterbalance to the exclusive customs union at the bead of which Prussia has placed herself. The speakers who opposed this recommendation founded their opposition on political grounds, observing that it would be wrong to cultivate a close alliance with a state which was hostile to the principle of liberty. To this it was replied that an unconditional adhesion to Austria had never been contemplated, but that Ba varia, in the interest of German commerce, would do well to ally herself with Austria by a commercial treaty. The report was adopted, after a very ani mated debate. A letter from Dresden of the 18th, in the German Journal y"Franhfort, states that the question as to whether Austria shall be permitted to enter into the Germanic Confederation with the whole of her states, is to be left to the King of PRUSSIA and the Emperor of AUSTRIA, who are to have an interview on this suiject at 011mutz, and that whatever they may agree upon will be accepted by the Germanic Diet. The New Gazette of Bremen states that in a recent secre sitting the Chambers of that city resolved to make a coniiderable increase in the import duties on raw sugar. A telegraphic dispatch, dated Vienna, May 24, says that the Minister of Commerce, HERR YON Bancx, will be removed, and repl a ced by HERR BAUMG kRTNER ; that the financial statement for the year 1849 is favourable, and gives a favourable. prospect for 1850 ; an d that Marshal RADETZKY had arrived. BELGIUM. BRUSSEL!, MAY 24.—The majority of the Second Ch3nib,r held a private sitting last night, at which they resolved to set aside trifling differences in order to strengthen the hands of the Ministry, in the pro bable event of their being reinstated in office.
