It was not for him to complain that the House had not dealt with Baron Rothschtld in the same way as it bad dealt with Mr. Pease. He thought then, and he still thought, that equal jusCce had not been dealt to Baron Rothschild.--(Hear, bear.) But he di i maintain, and he, called upon the Hoc. Member for Warwick shire to disprove the statement, that the mode in which Baron Rothschild affected the question was the .same as the Memb er for Darham.—(Hear, hear.) He felt it due to the electors of London, over whose meetings he had presided as chairman, to take notice of another charge of the Hon. Member (Mr. New degate), n amely, that bribery had been used to carry the election in 1848. He begged also to meet that assertion with a denial as positive and explicit as the former charge.—(Bear, hear.) He told the Hun. Gen 'emen that bribery at that election would have been as eseless us it would have been illegal—(Cheers)—end when it was recollected that there was a majority of 3,600 persons, it would be seen that bribery would have been as absurd as it was unlawful.—(Hear.) He begged to tell the Hon. Member that the most strenuous, ear nest, and careful exertions were made by Baron Roths child, and all connected with the election of 184$, to secure it from even the slightest taint or liability of such a charge, and he would say the same of the election of 1847. He trusted that this distinct and positive denial would settle these charges. And now with respect to the general question.—(A laugh.) He did not know whether the Hon. Gentleman meant by that laugh to in timate that his statements were untrue. If so, he hoped tese Hon. Gentleman would say so. With respect to the general question, then, he said that be had as sincere and earnest devotion to the faith he believed in as the He. Member for Warwickshire, or any Hon. Member in that House; but he had done his best to promote the passing of that Bill, and would continue to do so, because he be lieved that faith was inconsistent with the imposition of civil disabilities on others.—(Hear, hear.) When.t h Right . Hon. Baronet (Sir R. Inglis) asked what ri g h t ilad Jews had among us, he replied that he belie v ed they the same right as the Hon. Baronet, or any Member of that House. He believed that their discharge of all the duties of citizens had been of the exe mplary kind, andni"et v otion to all the and that in the hospitere italic ecoeddto no other class of charities of life they w He thanked the Hon. our countrymen .—( Cheers .) Fie Baronet for alluding to the Sabbath question, for if there was one trait in the charac ter of the Jews more honour able the continued to them than ano t h er, it was sacrifice they made to observe their observed the day that w e own Sabbath, and certainly , so string ent ly when theyconsciences, could scarcely binding upon thei r own 0 a s closely a day which had n o they be expected to observe religions sauc tion for them.—(Hear, hear) With re spect to the reception of this Bill in another H ouse , h e t ru sted that the remarks which had fallen from the Hon. Member, more in the way of threat than anything else, would not be realized. As the Solicitor General he'd said, the powerful arguments by whi c h t h e Bi ll was sup ported could not fail to be appreciteeti, and, ere long, produce their due uffrct, and he trust,.d therefore these would be no collision between the two Houses of Parlia ment in future. In conclusion, he should gladly give his vote for removing the last badge of civil disability, which, he regretted still disgraced our statute-book. hlre GOULBURN had so often addressed the House on this subject, that he would not have intruded again were it not that he wanted to know what me asure was really before the House, and what was the nature of the Bill they were called to vote upon.—(Hear, hear.) The Solicitor-General and other Hon. Members had argued the question merely as a question of admitting Jews to seats in both Houses of Parliament. When he heard such arguments as these, he thought it desirable they should know what was the actual measute on which they were called to vote. The first Bill brought in by. tee Noble Lord was in 1846, but that was very ditieut from the measure before the House. That Bill provided a new oath for Jews, instead of the oath of abjuration, cnd which. if taken, would hare rendered them eligible to fill all placee which those who took the oath of abju ration were gest:fled to fill. That Bill was thrown out by the other II .use of Parliament, and after consult ing with Baron Rothschild and his frienes, and fully considering the question, another Bill was brought in in 1849. But that measure excluded the Jews from many high offices. It prevented them from being guardians or regents of the kingdom, from filling the office of Lord Chancellor, of the Queen's Lord High Commissioner of the .Church of Scotland, Ec clesiastical Catheeral and University offices, or Head Masters of Schools in Royal Foundations, that measure was also rejected, and it was not now before the House. The Noble Lord proposed to admit under this Bill every Jew to every office; and, thus, while the Roman Catho lic was to be excluded, the Jew was to be admitted. lle would ask the Noble Lord was that consistent? and was such the way in which he was prepared to maintain the Constitution of this country?—(Hear, hear.) It was not merely a question of admission of Jews to the House of Commons, but it was admission of them also to the House of Peers, and to every administrative office from which they were as present excluded by the oath of ab juration. Could the Noble Lord, and other Honourable Istembers opposite, deny that? Looking at the reading of the Bill, a Jew tnieht be Regent, and in the same way might be Lord Chancellor or Home Secretary. Was that the way es maintain the safeguard of the Protestant Church? Was it by proposing to place power in the hands of individuals of different faith, that the Noble Lord proposed to uphold the Christianity of the mural.; ? The measure was quite preposterous, and would inter fere with, and treat as a nullity, the coronation oath taken by the Queen. He did nut hesitate to say that the measure was fraught with the greatest danger to the Cbristi.nity of the country and, looking at the whole character of theflßill, he was disposed to give it the most uncompromising opposition.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. ANSTEY, as a Roman Catholic, was anxious to express his opinion on this Bill. He perceived by the " laughs" of some Hon. Gentlemen opposite, that they were disposed to oppose the measure now before the 1151190, but he would tell those Hon. Members that the Jews had a right to be admitted to Parliament, and he must say, that unless they admitted them to Parliament they had no right to administer the oath of abjuration at all.—(Hear, hear.) They bad on the journal of their House a record of the capacity of a Je a ish gentleman to take at the table o: tree House the oath most binding on his conscience, while he was not prepared to take the oath of abjuration, and could not assent to take the oath, "On the faith of a Christian." The manner in which the Noble Lord at the head of the Government now pro posed to meet the difficulty, was by a declaratory Act; but Hon. Gentlemen opposite were opposed to the ad mission of Jews to Parliament under any circumstances. Baron Rothschild bad been elected to sit in Parliament fur the city of London, and he was at that moment as much a Member of the House as any Hon. Gentleman who enjoyed his seat iu it—(Hear, bear)—and as the Honourable Baronet opposite (Sir R. Inglis), who was mu ch opposed to him. He as k e d Hen. M. -tubers toco a Bider how mesh the circumst ances o f t hi s question we r r; changed since it was last before the House, and to re flect that it was not advisable on the subject to pro voke a collision between the two Houses of Parliament. He hated hypocrisy, and it was because he was anxious to see an end pat to hypocrisy, injustice, and bigotry, that he should give his vote in support of this Bill, and that he should vote, not only for the admission of Jews to Parliament, but of Ms homedans. and men of every religious denomination. (The Hon. Member resumed his seat amidst cries of " Oh, ob," from the opponents of the Bill.) Colonel SIBTHORP said the Noble Lord forced on the measure because he believed that it would be injurious to the constitution of the country. With regard to the Ex hibition, he was not, he was glad to say, present at it.— (andlaang3l ) He felt it to be a duty to his Guds--(Oh!) . duty to his country, however showy, seductive, or inciting Crys t a l He d eeply Palace might be, not to go there. venerate' to have heard—and from one, too, who fr om Protestant Church—a blessin e prayer invoking a —a blessin him who guides—(Cries of " Question") injurious to the what he (Col one l S i b t horp) considered tinued cries of ,wsliare of this great country.—(Con feelings, and he N l :uestion, question.") Those were his ould express them. Wito regard to the present measure, Jaws into a Christian he was opposed to the admission of i i tsserably, and took the same views i ee on the subject as his Friend the Member for War wickshire. Now, it th e speaker commanded his (Col.

The Baro n was three times elected, he was ready to take the oath o f el _ legiazee, the oath of supremacy, either in the n o -,th, taken by Protestant or Catholic, and the oath of abju ration, and when called to the table was admitted to take them, until he came to the coecluding words of the oath abjuration, "on the true faith of a Christian." These words were not the substance of the oath, but when he came to thee words, and reue !to 3 „b sci ihe ic) them, the House declared he could not sit withoe doirg so. On that a citu soon •irose which gave ri•u to a very con siderable nebAte, when his Hon. anLi Learned Friend the Solicitor-General, maintained with great power and argument, that it was not necessary to tube such tin tAth, as he /eh it could not be binding on "13 tTin Stj'S LONDON, • F.R.ADAV conscience.

Cnarl-s 4i y lisle, a high authority Or. the matter, and wise, ;after having made it the pecu liar object of his study, was prepared to acquiesce in the view thus taken. There was also another mode, but which baltidtd John Russell) was unwilling to come to, numbly, by a resolution, the cons, qnence of which would ffe that these words could be passed over. If that course had been adopted he was afraid the House of Lords would consider, as another branch of the Legis lature, that that House decided an impertint question of that nature without their consent. But the House of Commons having act'd with so much deference to the ' House of Lords, it was entitled on the other hand to hive a fair view taken of the difficulties in which they now stood; and as they had shown a de-l.r: not to step a single inch beyond the letter of tn law, they ought to consider what people of the United Kingdom, and to the rivltt was,,s of the House of Cemmons.—( hear.) itself in was due . tp le t o he in that respect that the question now o ing ro e And no man will deny that if, like Lord a different position from that whichprttsehißthero Bolingbroke that was the position mittee could displace NOW, and Mr. Gibbon, a Jeff dared to take the oath, no Corn. in which the House now stood. The only argument he heard during the present debate_ was from t that it was Hon. and Learned Member for Cambridge, who said not on account of religious opinions Jews were refused admission to Parliament, but because, if they were so admitted, that House would no longer possess the confi dence of the country. That seemed to him (Lord John Ru thought to be changing the qufistion at issue, b u t h e they rvere, as representatives of the peopl e , en titled the oaths if they thought pro sell)s to proper, and next they had the fact of the repeated elections of Baron Rothschild by the city of London.

The question now was, having re moved disabilities from Protestant Dissenters, and from Roman Catholics; having admitted Jews to both muni cipal and other offices in the country, would they con sider it worth while to keep up for 40,000 persons a badge of slavery, or curtail on that account the priciples of civil and religious liberty.— (Cheers.) The House then divided, when there appeared— For the second reading ... 202 Against it ... 177 Majority ••• ••• ••• —26 On the motion for going into Committee on the Valua tion (Ireland) Bill, Sir D. Norreye, Mr. S. Crawford, Lord Naas , Mr. Sadlier, and Lord Bernard objrcted tnat the Bill should be committed at that late hour, particularly as there were so many Irish Members absent, in consequence of the Easter recess, who would take en active and ener getic part in discussing this Bill, clause by clause, in Committee. _ _ _ Sir W. SOMERVILLE consented to withdraw his motion for the present, but wou!d to-morrow state to thr House on what day he would agai❑ move for a Com mittee on it. CIVIL BILLS, &c. (IRELAND) BILL. Mr. SADLIEIt raised a similar objection to this Bill as to the last. The Bill propc•sed to ejee , , tenants under certain circumstances, but he could not find a single line in it which gave improving tenants compensation fir the improvements they might make ; and so far as the 13111 related to landlord and tenant, he would resist it. Should the Bill be referred to a Select Committee, as he hoped it would be, he would auggest,,that those clauses of it should be much altered, or altogether rejected. As regarded the enlargement of the heal courts in Ire land, he could have wished that a portion of the juris diction of the judges of the Insolvent Debtors Court should be exercised in the diocesan courts. He also re gretted that it was intended to return to the old system of stamp duties on ejectment cases, and he hoped before the measure went through a Select Commir.ea a more moderate scale would be adopted. _ Mr. F. FRENCH supporied the seconi reading of the Bill. It was much called for by those capable of judging of the subj• ct in Ireland ; and as the mea sure was to be referred to a Select Committee, he had no doubt but that it would be rendered a most useful measure. Sir W. SOMERV ILLE said he did not wish to refer, at the present time, to the objections used against the measure, as he had s,ated from the commencement, that he intended to refer it to a Select Committee, and he trusted that with that understanding the measure would now be read a second time. Mr. S. CRAWFORD protested against the mode in which Irish business was carried on, for it was impossi ble at that hour of the night properly to discuss a mea sure of such importance. Mr. SCULLY hoped, as the measure was to be re ferred to a Select Committee, that it would be in the power of parties to examine witnesses in reference to certain portions of the Bill. The Order for the consideration of the Apprentice to Sea Service (Ireland) Bill was discharged. The second readings of the Customs Bill and of the Inhabited House Duty Bill were postponed until Monday. The consideration of the Small Tenements Rating Act Amendment Bill, and the Committee on the Sale of Arsenic Regulation Bill (from the Lords) were also post poned. Mr. TRELAWNY moved the nomination of the Se lect Committee on Chinch Rates, but in consequence of some opposition from Sir IL Inglis, postponed it till to-day. The House then adjourned at a Quarter-past Twelve. W)TAL OLYMPS‘C THEATRE. Lessee and Manager. ;11r. W. Farrell.

" The author, we are convinced, is young, otherwise we could hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be half of his heroes and heroines. He is a w riter of genius, inspired by a high standard of morality and religion, and by a laudable love of the purest sort of tame. We gather this :rota the glowing lan guage is which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays on matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha racterise nature's nobility.

Thompson. Clittning ..*--Pint LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 2, 1851. The House of Lords sat for a few minutes last even. in 4, but no business of importance was transacted. In the Commons, Oa the order of the day for the second reading of the Jewish Di-abilities Removal Bill, Mr. NEWDEOATE moved that the Bill be read a second time that day six months, and in support of his amend ment attacked Baron ROTESCHILD, denounced the Tal mud, arid prophesied that if this measure passed, the Divine Blessing. would be withdrawn from this country. Mr. ROEBUCK said that Mr. NEWDEGATE seemed to be of opinion that no one should be admitted to that House who did not agree with him. Oaths excluded conscientious men only, and admitted infidels and hypo crites, and gate to a weak, bigoted man the means of spitting his spite against those who were better than himself. Mr. WIGRAM opposed the Bill, because if they ad mitted Jews to Parliament, they might be called on to admit MahommeilanA. The SoLicrroft-GariEnaL aaW no objection to the ad. mittance of Mahommedans. Sir R. Imam denied the right of a Jew to a seat in Parliament. le the Jews did not like the constitution of the land, they might leave the country. Mr. JOHN ABEL SMITH vindicated the conduct of Baron ROTHSCHILD against the attack of Mr. NEADE GATE. Mr. GOULEURN complained that the present Bill went further than any of its predecessors. Mr. ANSTEY contended, that in strict law there was at present no bar to a Jew taking his seat in Parliament. Colonel SIDTHORP would not feel surprised, should this measure pass, at seeing the Devil come down some day as a supporter of the Noble Lord. Lord JOHN RUSSELL replied, and declared his belief that the opinion of the great majority of the country was in favour of the measure. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the second reading Against it Majority -25 The result of the division was hailed with loud cheers by the minority. Yesterday cannot very speedily be forgotten, even if it fail to accomplish all that has been anticipated of it in the way of advancing the interests of mankind and the general progress of civilisation. It will be remembered, supposing the attempt to be altogether futile, as an endeavour of a very lofty and humani zing character, and one which cannot fail to shed a perennial lustre upon the reign of our beloved So- VEREIGN. In its original conception it was marked by tendencies calculated to secure to it not merely the sympathies of the human race, but if one might presume to speak thus confidently, the approbation of OMNIPOTENCE. For the enterprise was intended from the outset as one expressive of thankfulness rather than of exultation, of homage rather than of pride, of gratitude rather than of vain glory. It was proposed to celebrate in one remarkable festivity the triumphs of industry and ingenuity, not in idle complacency at past achievements, but as a means of encouraging future exertion. Such was the programme of the undertaki ng at it s ear li est con t emp l at i on , an d accord ing to th a t programme it h as b een carr i e d w ith sur prising rapidity to a state of completeness. Scarcely had time b een a l lowed for the digging of ord i nary foundations, when products thet s of b beautiful othh e s mi tru s e p t h u e r r e es de h s a ig d ne r d ise t n o contain the like a fairy temple from the grass, and into it th e nations then pour e d of the earth have since their treasures in bewildering variety and inexhaustible profusion.

Added to this, moreover, was th , , multipli city of tongues spoken by the spectators—languages almost as numerous as those into which the reveren tial hymn of MARTIN TUPPER has been recently translated by scholars well versed in hebrew, sanscrit, arabic, chinese, persian, turkish, hindostanee, greek, latin, welsh, gaelic, irish, german, polis h, danish, spanish, norse, dutch, french, maux, italian, and ojibeway.* Without being quite as Babel-like in articulation, the voices audible in the palace of the Exhibition were sufficiently varied to accord with the contrasting contents of the several compartments. In welcoming, however, the approach of the Illustrious Personage who was to preside over the ceremony of inauguration, the strange concourse collected together by the oc casion joined harmoniously in their acclamations. The enthusiasm of the greeting, indeed, was a suf ficiently emphatic evidence of the ardour with which the people of this country are devoted to the head of their Constitution. Its mean iug will convey a truth of peculiar signi ficance to the foreigner, and will tend rather satis factorily to attest the stability of our political institutions. Little can the precise value of the Industrial Ex position be appreciated unless the people acquire some inkling, however incomplete, of the diverse nature of its wonders comprised under the vast roof of the Crystal Palace. A very few simple conside rations will enable them to obtain some knowledge of this kind adequate for the purpose indicated, by grouping the broad outline of the collection into some thing like symmetrical arrangement. Let it be remem bered, therefore, that the contents of the Crystal Palace may be classified under one or other of three compre hensive departments. They are included either among illaterials, among Machinery, or among Manufac tures. Such, at least, are the sections into which the " Industrial" Exhibition, advisedly so called, may be conveniently partitioned. Whatever is not embraced under one or other of those titles must be grouped together as among the loftier or more delicate crea tions of ART—such, for example, as mosaics or enamels—as models or specimens of seulpture. Con sidered as Materials, there will be found accumulated everything relating to mining labours, to the toils of quarrying, to the operations in metallurgy, and to the products of mineralogy, together with the imple• ments employed in smelting ores, or in the blending of metals for the fabrication of bells, fire-arm., bronzes, or the specula of telescopes. Besides these leading features in the first department, there are, of course, a multiplicity of others, such as would re quire enormous space and considerable measure merely for their enumeration, embraced under such headings as chemical processes and chemical substances salts, acids, and alkalies, as human food and other objects of consumption, with a marvellous profusion of other substances both animal and vegetable— blood, glue, isinglass, sponge, skin, bone, wax, horn, hair, wool, furs, oils, shells, hoofs, pearls, ivory, and feathers. Under the designation of Machinery are comprised, of course, every article for locomotion, whether for land or for water, for aerial or subaqueous excursions, for moving powers, for mills, and fur other purposes, of every imaginable description. Among these; examples of mechanism are included, as a matter of necessity, the most simple and the most elaborate, the flimsiest toys and the most stalwart weapons of the manufacturer, blast engines and hydraulic machines, pile-drivers and pile extractors, saws and capstans, jack. and windlasses. With these things are grouped the tools of every conceivable kind employed in such labours, as plaining, drilling, turning, boring, sawing, stamping, slotting, shearing, rivetting, and similar operations, besides the manifold objects required for these purposes, ranging from timber to gold, from slate to granite, from glass to alabaster. Added to all which may be mentioned whatever is required in Civil, Naval, or Military Engineering, in Architecture, Agriculture, and Horticulture, and in all apparatus, whether professional, ar tistical, or philosophical. Under the term Manufactures), again, are obviously meant every cotton fabric, such as sheets, quilts, dimities, and counterpanes ; every woollen fabric, such as broad cloths and blankets ; every silk fabric, such as dresses, scarfs, and handkerchiefs, plushes, gauzes, crapes, and velvets ; every flaxen and hempen fabric, such as drills, damasks, and diapers, lawns, linens, cambrics, and cordage; every mixed fabric ; every printed or dyed fabric ; lace, tapestry, and em broidery ; clothing and cutlery ; iron and hardware ; jewellery and porcelain; upholstery, and an extraordinary number of things of an entirely miscellaneous and supplementary description. From a hasty glance like fish may be conjectured the mar vels awaiting all those who have not yet visited the Palace of the Exhibition—marvels requiring a series of unwieldy and elaborate volumes merely to cata logue with the utmost possible brevity. It is satisfactory to reflect that under any circumstances this remarkable enterprise could scarcely have been carried out on a scale of greater magnitude or more satisfactory completeness. * " M. F. Tupper'* liymn for'all Nations." 1851. Translated into Tbirty Languages. Bvo., pp. 70, Thomas Hatchard, 187, Piccadilly. The discussion on the details of the Property and Income-tax Bill, which has been ao often postponed, will really take place this evening. No degree of ingenuity on the part of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER or his Ministerial colleagues cas get rid of the inconvenient topic, or even lead to further pro crastination. The Right Hon. Baronet must at length " screw his courage to the sticking place." The accuracy of the a conclusion " at which he arrived will be tested, and it will be seen whether the Representatives of the people will sacrifice their own characters for political integrity, in order to sustain his " financial crotchets " and enable him to evince his unflinching obstinacy and contemptuous disregard of public opinion. Notices of various amendments have already been given; the chief con• teat will, however, take place on those of the Hon. Gentlemen th e M em b er; f or Montrose, Gl asgow and Boston. There are others, however, of con siderable interest on which divisions will probably take place, so that a tolerably long debate may be expected, and a fair portion of work is cut out for Honourable Gentlemen during the evening, a n d we may, perhaps, add th e grea t er portion of next w ee k. The first question is to be brought forward by the Member for Lambeth, who on the motion for Mr. Speaker to leave the chair for going into Committ ee , will move " That the prov:sions of the Bill, as far as regards the imposition of thi tax on the interest of the Public Debt, salaries and em)luments of public officers, pensions, and sinecures, be extended to Ireland." This will doubtless be consiiered as a serious griev ance by "the Brigade," but we must confess that we cannot see any reasonable ground for resisting th e proposition. However deeply we lament the serious difficulties under which the owners and occupiers of real estates, and the mer chants, traders, and professional men, indeed all branches of industry, alive been suffering i n that unhappy land, it is certain that the fund holders, officials, recipients of pensions, and sinecurists have been far better off than they have been at any former time, through the extraordinary appreciation in the value of the circulating me dium. There can, therefore, be no possible reason why those highly. favoured parties should be permitted longer to avoid a more intimate acquaintance with the tax-gatherers. The only question is whether Mr. W. WiLmats has gone far enough in his proposition. Mortgagees and incumbrancers of every class, if paid their interest, are well able to contribute their portion of the na tional expenditure, indeed the same may be said of the owners of every description of property, real and personal ; and the great cheapness of the country, making the sums actually received go much farther in procuring the necessaries or luxuries of life than on this side St. George's Channel, would increase the ability. We must, however, make some allowance for the depreciation of real property, and be con tented for the present to adopt the proposition of Mr. WILLIAMS. Eventually, as we desire to bestow an equality of privileges on Irishmen with those enjoyed by their English brethren, we cannot conceive any valid reason why every man in that country should not bear an equality of taxation, and contribute to the national revenue according to his means and the position he occupies in the country. Then the members of the Brigade would have some tangible grievances on which to dilate, and would not by their votes given, not according to the real merits of tkc. case, fasten taxation on the English people from which their own countrymen are exempted. The next amendment will be brought forward by the Honourable and Gallant Colonel the Member for Lincoln, who desires that Schedule B. should be ex punged from the Act, and that no duties should henceforward be levied on the tenant-farmers or oc cupiers of the soil in Great Britain. Although we readily acknowledge the gross and palpable injustice of the present mode of assessment under that schedule, and of making the amount of rent the measure of the tax, so that persons might be heavily charged who, so far from deriving any profits from their holdings, had sustained beavy pecuniary losses during the year, we cannot recognise the pro priety of exempting agriculturists from the burden any more than any other persons deriving profit from their own industry. Why, we ask, should the manu facturers of corn be more highly favoured than the manufacturers of cotton or woollen goods ? The amendment of the Noble Viscount the Member for King's Lynn, which proposes that " in place of the arbitrary assessment in Schedule B of the farmer's profit, there shall be substituted some fairer mode, similar or analogous to that for computing the duty on trade and manufacture," appears much more equit- able and deserving of the attentive consideration of the House. The principle cannot be objected to, and the only difficulty would be the mode of carrying that principle into practical operation without ex posing tenant-farmers to the inquisitorial scrutiny into their accounts and dealings, to which merchants, manufacturers, and traders, and indeed all persons expressed under Schedule D are subjected. The proposition of Colonel Surraoßr for exempting the pay and allowances of officers in the army and navy is utterly untenable and cannot stand for a single moment. The first topic of real importance is that which will be brought forward by Mr. HUME for the limi tation of the period during which the tax is to be continued. The veteran Reformer does not at pre sent enter into the vezate questioner, the many dis puted points at issue between the different parties. His object is of a more comprehensive character. Feeling that the tax may now be looked on as a permanent mode of collecting the revenue, that it must be rather increased than diminished, and that eventually direct must be substituted for indirect impost, he desires to render it as equitable and un objectionable as possible. He wishes then to obtain a Select Committee to inquire into and report on the mode of assessing and collecting the tax, and whether the injustice of levying the same rate of charges upon terminable as upon perpetual annuities, and upon fluctuating and varying incomes from trades and professions, as upon fixed incomes from real property, cannot be greatly modified or alto gether removed. We have long urged the propriety and necessity of such an inquiry ; we have filt it to be absolutely essential to a proper solution of the great fiscal problem. The ridiculous fallacies that have found favour in the sight of Sir CHARLES WOOD would be utterly exploded. It would no longer be gravely asserted that the hard-earned And fluctuating income of the professional man, or the precarious profits derived from trade or com eierce, are equivalent to well circumstanced ground rents, or dividends payable to the very hour. What ver may be the fate of the other amendments, nothing can be permanently decided on until that stringent investigation takes place, and indeed, even it he differences were arranged, and an equitable ad justment entered into, it would be desirable on con stitutional grounds that the impost should only be renewed from year to year, and that the popular branch of the Legislature should exercise that just control over the public purse which is its unquestionable right, and the full assertion whereof is of the most vital importance to its power and influence. We, therefore, entertai❑ sanguine an ticipations as to the success of Mr. flume's amend• went this evening. We regret that a want of space prevents us from entering into a consideration of the valuable sugges tions of the Honourable Gentleman the Member for Glasgow at the length which their importance and sound practical character so eminently merit. We, therefore, reserve our comments thereon, and on the other amendments, for a future occasion. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. General D'HAUTPOUL has arrived in Paris. The Ministers have withdrawn the Bill for a grant of money to Marshal JEROME BONAPARTE. It was currently rumoured in Paris yesterday that M. LEON FAUCHER had had such serious differences with his colleagues that he had resigned. Accounts from Algiers state that the Arabs were preparing to make a desperate resistance against the invasion of Kabylia. They had preached a holy war against the French. An article hostile to the English Government having appeared in the Patrie, some surprise was ex cited that a journal which is supposed to have rela tions with the French Cabinet should attack a Go vernment which is in alliance with that of France. The Patrie of Tuesday evening has, in consequence of this expression of surprise, and perhaps of some remonstrance from the Ministry, felt it necessary to declare that the French Government was entirety un connected with the publication complained of. The opening of the season of 1851 at Aix-le-Bains, Savoy, will take place on the 15th of May. The European celebrity of the waters of Aix, the beauty and comfort of its Casino, to which that of Baden- Baden alone can he compared, have made this bath the rendezvous of the fashion Able world. This year, in particular, Aix will be the enchanting place of refug3 for the English aristocracy, who will leave London to avoid the crowds at the Exhibition. The journey from Paris to Aix is made in twenty-four hours by the Lyons Itailway, and steamers on the Soane and Rhone. The Bourse was agitated, but confidence appeared to be somewhat restored at the close of business.

More business has been done in Sugar this week, and there is an easier sale for some other articles, in anticipation of an increased consumption. Coffee has been lower. Rice has been a shade dearer. CofFee is quite neglected. The 'indigo auctions begin on the 13th of this month, and the Wool sal e° on the 15th. Tea is quiet. The Assam Company male° a most encouraging report to its shareholders this year, COI pared with former occasions. Its estates have prodtic!d more, and at a very trifling increase in the outlay. It ley, therefore, intended to apply the earnings to an extension. of the production for the present. The annual meeting hat been held this morning, and went off satisfactorily. The report states : "Late accounts from Calcutta give us the gratifying assurance that the Tea crop will reach nearly 250,00011 A, making an increase of upwards of 30,0001b5, upon the Pre; duce of the previous year. In the same statement we estimated that the net price which the produce of 1849 then remaining unsold would realize, would be Is. 6d. per lb. for 895 chaste' and is. 4d. per lb. for all the remainder ; the average net pile! actually obtained for the whole crop of 1849 has been Is. 7(6_, per lb., the gross average being Is. 10d., whilst th e g r i ,a ; average obtained for the produce of 1848 was Is. 83,id. net produce of the Tea of 1848, which was the first year which we worked to profit, was 1 9 ,!•551.,* that of the Tea al 1849 was 16,6281. and that of the - past year (1 850 ) may be taken at about 19,0001.
