SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medic Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. AY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on v 1. the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitilil Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and s the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply rem arded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostr ums , h ave i nf li cted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions. At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from Six till Eight. All letters must contain the fee of 11., and advice and medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address.

The Earl of WINCHESTER rose, in pursuance of notice, to move for a committee to inquire into the sys tem of education pursued at the College of Maynooth. The establishment by a Papal bull of ecclesiastical titles in this country was only a new instance of the grasping disposition of the Church of Rome, and it behoved the people and Government of this country to be on the alert that no harm should accrue to our religious institutions. The canon law was opposed to the civil law of nearly every country, and that was the law which the Church of Rome was endeavouring to introduce into this country. To permit the introduction of such a law would be a virtual surrender of the government of this country into the hands of the Pope, and the Go vernment would fail in their duty to the people and the so vereign of this realm by countenancing such a proceeding, It was the imperative duty of the Government to ascer tain that the system of education pursued in a college supported at the public expense should not be opposed to our Protestant institutions. The Earl of ABERDEEN--I shall not think it neces sary to renew before your lordships the discussion of what is called the Papal aggression, which occupied so much of your lordships' time some months since. I con fess I think the debates upon that subject are not to be looked back to with any great satisfaction. (Hear, hear.) I certainly think that the motion made by the noble earl seems hardly calculated to answer the observation with which he prefaced it. Surely if he thinks the imprudence is so vast, the danger so imminent as he has described, it is not a committee which he ought to have ended by proposing to your lordships, but a measure which would have met the emergency. Upon the declared objects of the noble earl's motion I do not intend to offer any obser vation ; in fact, I think it perfectly reasonable that over an institution endowed, established, and maintained by the State, Parliament ought to have a right of supervi sion —(hear, hear)—in order to see that the intentions of the Legislature had been fulfilled, and honestly carried out. But the fulfilment must be according to the in- tentions of the Legislature ; you are not to expect Pro testant doctrines in a Roman Catholic college—(hear, hear)—nor are you to interfere or to control the doctrine or the religious discipline and worship of the church of Rome as taught and practised therein. It is a little late after the system now pursued at Maynooth has been followed for so many years, to tell the house that we have abandoned our duty to our country and our God. But what, after all, is the real object of this inquiry t The noble earl (the Earl of Winchilsea) talks of an in quiry into the system of education, but surely that can not be the real object of his motion. The object of the noble earl, he has more than once avowed in this house, is to overthrow the whole establishment of Maynooth—(hear) —to withdraw the recent grants, and to annihilate that system which has so long been established. Now, I think, it is unnecessary to refer to the history of Maynooth. Your lordships are all perfectly acquainted with it ; unfortunately, indeed, we have heard of it too often. The noble earl will recollect that that institution was first recognised in the reign of George 111., by the advice of Mr. Pitt. It had since received many advan tages by various acts of Parliament, until at last came that wise measure introduced by my late right hon. friend Sir R. Peel, and in this house carried by the resistless and persuasive eloquence of the noble earl opposite (the Earl of Derby). Upon that occasion the noble earl who moved the resolution this evening said, that to carry that measure would be to commit an act ofpolitical suicide more flagrant than had ever been committed by any country since the existence of the world. This was the act 0f1845, which I believe to have been one of the most wise, most just, and most honourable measures adopted in this country, since the great act of emancipation, against which, however, the noble earl had spoken in equally strong terms. The noble earl when he proposed this motion, could hardly have had in his memory the very ample inquiry into the whole system of Maynooth made in the year 1829. Mr. Franklin Lewis and others then inquired into the whole matter, and made a very elaborate report, so elaborate indeed that it had been said, and perhaps justly, that their labours superseded the necessity of any inquiry at the present time. But I willing to concur in the tide of public feeling, and I therefore do not oppose myself as I should otherwise do from a feeling that no sufficiently urgent case has been made out for an inquiry. I hope and believe that the College of Maynooth has nothing to fear from it. I believe, indeed, that it will redound to the advantage and credit of that institution. lam aware that the parties interested do not object to any fair inquiry that may be instituted. But though Ido not oppose an inquiry, I cannot admit that such an inquiry as is proposed by the noble earl is that to which your lordships ought to accede. The noble earl says he wishes a fair inquiry. I leave your lordships to judge what sort of an inquiry you will possess if regu lated in the spirit in which the noble earl speaks. (Cheers.) Allow me to say a word upon the course of procedure adopted upon this occasion. The noble earl, at the commencement of the session—in the early part of November—put upon the minutes of this house, a notice in the following words :—" To move for a com mittee to inquire whether the social and moral principles, inculcated by the system of education pursued at May nooth, are not opposed to the great principles of civil and religieus liberty on which the Protestant Government of this country is based." Now this, according to the ordi nary rules of construction, is a declaration that the sys tem is opposed to those principles. Nevertheless the notice remained on the book of your lordships' house for three or four months. I think your lordships must feel how offensive and insulting it must have been to every Roman Catholic subject of her Majesty. At last, how ever, the noble earl fell into the hands of more dexterous tacticians, and they told him, " This won't do ; this can not be carried—it is too insulting, too offensiv e ; what ever you think, w h a t ever you fee, at least make your motion a little decent in its terms." Accordingly , the noble earl sub s tit u t e d hi s present motion to "move for an inquiry into the system of education pursued at May nooth." The whole course of procedure showed the animus of the noble earl in the matter. The noble earl then went on to say that the mover of the resolution be fore the house had detailed at length various matters con nected with the Pope and the Church of Rome, but he had given no reason or statement to show how this was con nected with the College of Maynooth, except that he had referred to the excess and violence in the conduct of the Irish priesthood during the late elections. But even this had nothing to do with Maynooth, for the priests who had acted improperly were not educated at Maynooth. He believed that the measure of 1845 in reference to this college was a wise and just measure —(hear, hear)—and that it had already had a most bene ficial effect ; but from the regulations of the college, it was impossible that the existing priests could have been educated since that time. He anticipated great good would result from the measure of 1845, and, indeed, great good had already resulted. He had in his hand a letter from the Chief Baron, in which he described these advantages. (Hear, hear.) He saw that very soon after the Maynooth Act passed, a most pleasing change was observed ; the number of candidates was * very much increased, the preliminary examinations were most strict, and a much better system of instruc tion was adopted. It was shown that the full effect of the act of 1845 could not be developed for a considerable time, but during 1846-7 and 8, and during the cholera, the mortality among the parish priests had been very great, but this act would operate in supplying for the population a very superior class of spiritual instructors, and thus eminently fulfil the views of the great statesman who introduced the measure. He (Lord Aberdeen) did not fear the result of any inquiry fairly conducted that might take place ; and he would say, that although far from objecting to any fair inquiry, he did not think that it would be at all desirable that such a subject should occupy a committee of their lordships' house. (Hear, hear.) He thought it was inevitable that before a committee of their lordships' house, in a case of this kind strong religious enmity and discord would be ex cited ; and an unseemly discussion must necessarily occur in committee. (Hear, hear.) If they were desir ous of having a fair, impartial inquiry, conducted by able and impartial men, he believed that no man in-that house thought but that he would endeavour to appoint such a commission no would ensure the utmost degree of impartiality. (Hear.) The n o bl e ear l (Wi nc hil sea) ha d refbrred to opinions which he (Earl Aberdeen) had ex pressed on this matter, and he thought he attached more importance to those opinions than they were worth, and he hoped that none of their lordships would imagine, whatever those opinions were worth, that he had aban doned the Protestant principles which he professed, or that he had any feeling towards the noble earl which he ought not to have. He repudiated any such feeling, none such actuated him ; but, to the best of his judgment, he was sincerely desirous that the commission should be so Constituted as to give full satisfaction to that house and to the country— (cheers)—and, under these circum. adseoepfittthtoe stances, he trusted that their lordships would reject the motion of the noble earl, an d amendment which he would move. The noble earl then moved as an amendment, p"raTlyliantgatntahtuhmebrle address be Majesty will pr4sented to her Majesty be graciously pleased to issue a commission to inquire into the management and government of the Colleg f Maynooth, the discipline, and the course d of studies pur suedeo therein ; also, into the effects pro uced by the in creased grants conferred by Parliament in 1845." The Earl of RODEN denied, from his own experience, that any change for the better ghadrantta.keTnheprleawceeriennte character of the priests since the two additional reasons aains i t its being continued—for the famine and the Exodus viaeddry decreased the pulation, and there had been H also popula tions to Protestantism. many genuine conven ingp concluded by taunt the now united Administration with their former diversity of opinion, and their un - Protestant Canada Clergy Reserves Bill. Lord DUFFEItIN expressed himself strongly in favour of a full and free toleration, a policy which no Ministry would now dare to oppose. It was an error to suppose that all Roman Catholics shared the political opinions of which they had been accused. He could not anticipate any good results arising from an inquiry, which would only revive animosities which would otherwise have been gradually extinguished. The Earl of DESART expected much from the ap pointment of a committee, denounced the Roman Catho lic priesthood for their interference in political matters, and, with reiterated apologies for his egotism, entered into a digression to prove that he was not a tyrannical Orange landlord, and pronounced a lengthy eulogy on the late Lord-Lieutenant. Lord BEAUMONT said that he found little to ch wo oon between a committee and a commission. Either th er no ° LI inquire into the system of education, and be sion for inquiry at all.

Again, after spending twollhours in'rproving that no altera tion could be made in the tax, but that it must be sevonpence alike to all—to the millionaire or the little hairdresser, Mr. Gladstone ended by practically repudiating his own doctrine, for he proposed to confer this great blessing on two new classes—:the Irish and the owners of incomes of 1001. a year, and both these two classes are to be charged less than seven pence in the pound. Now, if the man of 1001. a year is to be charged 5d., and the man of 150 . ;. a year 7d., it is clear that the man who had 3001 . a yeaw in the funds might he charged 7d., and the man who earned. 3001. as a village surgeon might be charged only sd. Yet this last variation Mr. G. charac terised as destructive of the 'very principle of the tax, while he adopted the fOrmer ! Ireland is to be subjected to the tax, after having been exempt from it for ten years. But the chances are small in deed that such a scheme will be adopted. Another obvious and very criminal inconsistency in Mr. Gladstone's speech was this :—The first part of his speech was devoted to raise up a class-jealousy; by making it appear, that the opposition to an invariable income tax came from trade, and was levelled against landed incomes. Mr. Glad stone spent a full hour in vindicating the landed interests against the traders, who, according to him, were ready to do the landed proprietors any injustice. But when he quitted this part of the subject, he went over absolutely to the Radical party, espousing their favourite scheme, of making landed estates pay legacy duty. Thus, first he endeavoured to defend an unjust income tax, by enlisting the fears and jealousies of the landed gentry ; and having tried this expe dient, he next curried favour with the Radicals, by joining with them in a positive and serious attack on the land. The rest of the Ministerial plan is too full of small parts to be described in a single article. Almost everything is touched, and nothing settled. , Lord Robert Grosvenor having carried a motion for the repeat of the duty on attorneys' cer tificates, the Chancellor of the 'Exchequer proposes to give up one-third of the tax, if he may keep the remaining two-thirds. Mr. Milner Gibson having Carried a vote for the repeal of the advertisement duty, the Chancellor meets it by reducing the duty to sixpence. And so in: several other matters. The tea duties are to be 'lowered, very nearly in the same manner as was proposed by Mr. Disraeli in his budget of last December. Some hundreds of articlem in the tariff are again altered. Duties are lowered on ems,. cheese, butter, oranges, and raisins. The chief new feature is the entire remission of the soap duty. But the accomplishmemt of this, the chief benefit con tained in the budget, must depend on the acceptance (4 the Ministerial plan as a whole ; and that, we confess, seems to us as about as unlikely a thing as can be well conceived. In fact, there are some points in the case which make us suspect a scheme for a dissolution. And yet, as one of our first statesmen lately remarked, it, will be an odd thing to go to the country with an unmitigated income tax as a rallying cry. Will " the tax, the whole tax, and nothing but the tax," excite much enthusiasm in Bradford or in Man chester ! We shall see. (From the Morning Chronicle) It would be unsatisfactory, if not impossible, to expres s an opinion at present on the great measure which was so fully developed last night by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in his financial statement. It will be more convenient to state generally the proposals of the Government than to anticipate the judgment which must hereafter be formed on the merits of the most comprehensive Budget which, with one exception, has been laid before the House of Commons during the l as t twenty years. The great practical difficulty of carrying a just income tax through Parliament, has probably been dis posed of by the resolution which the Government has taken to provide means for the entire abolition of the tax at the end of a definite period. By this arrangement, both the con ditions of the problem and the importance of a just solution have been modified to a considerable extent. Mr. Gladstone slightly touched on the extravagances to which the theories of fanciful income tax projectors would lead, if they were consistently carried out ; but it was beside his purpose to supply the confutation which sound financial principles pro vide for the theory advocated in part by Mr. Hume, and to its full extent by the actuaries. It was fortunate, perhaps, that the arguments adapted to the new arrangement of the income tax were of a nature to influence the House more forcibly than any abstract econo mical theories, The extra percentage already paid by land as compared with other sources of income—the injustice of imposing any exceptional burden on the funds—and, above all, the close reciprocal approximation of similar cases in various classes—were never before so forcibly represented. If the landowners vote for any amendment tending to increase she disadvantage under whieh they are already placed by the income tax, they will deserve to bear the Burden which will be placed on their shoulders. But even in that case, the ga fundholder—that bloated monster, as Mr. Gladstone torighwtho are beprsootecoategder in tainsre quiring a special exemption. Under the head of the fund holders, as Mr. Gladstone touchingly showed, are included a the humor ously greedy described ac t v him—willt iof those have vea classes large portion of the most helpless and needy class of the community. Their property was not capitalised for taxation when it was worth only sixteen years' purchase ; and assuredly Parliament will not force upon them a dis advantageous bargain, now that the national good faith h as raised the value of the reversionto double the amount. We must refer to Mr. Gladstone's statement itself for innumerable illustrations of the practical difficulties and anomalies which would be involved in any concession to the clamour which has been raised on this subject. The whole question, as we have said, stands on a different basis, now that the probable dura tion of the impost is limited. Mr. Gladstone compared the income tax to a weapon which might be hung on the wall or taken down in case of need. In either case he is determined to maintain it in a serviceable condition, and not to break up a valuable implement in the hope of a reconstruction which might perhaps be found impracticable. Seven years hence, Parliament may possibly doubt the expediency of abandoning I the main branch of direct taxation ; but the minister pro vides ample means for accomplishing an object which, on the whole, ho thinks desirable. It may be hoped that this great concession will obviate any serious contest on the question of assessment. The Government will assuredly never give way to the theorists ; and the only effect of a vote against the re newal of the existing tax would be that the country would lose the various benefits of which it forms an indispensable condition. To conciliate popular opinion, certain advantages are to be allowed to those tax-payers who may invest certain portions of their income. Should such an arrangement silence opposition, it may be worth the trifling sacrifice of revenue which it involves. The estimated surplus for the year amounts to somewhat more than 800,0001., and the half-year's addition on account of the abolition of existing exemptions from Income Tax will be 350,0001. The plans of the Government, however, require larger resources. It is not for the purpose of maintaining a mere balance of the revenue that it is proposed to continue the Income Tax for seven years. Once, as the house was reminded, the tax saved the country in war—recently, in peace, it has achieved almost as great a triumph. It is for the purpose of continuing the wise and beneficial process of dealing with indirect duties that additional means are de manded. The principal novelty which is proposed consists in the extension of the legacy duty to all successions on death, and to that portion of real property which at present escapes taxation. Rateable property, consisting of tenements of all kinds, is to be included in the assessment ; but in con sideration of the exclusive burdens which it bears, it is to be taxed at a somewhat lower rate. This new tax on property would be lost, should any party in the House of Commons succeed in carrying a proposal for the graduation of the In come Tax. When the changes in both directions shall have come into full operation, the increase of taxation will amount to be tween three and four millions, and the burdens remitted to five millions. A well-grounded confidence in the elasticity of consumption and production induces the Government to make this great additional step in the path of economical re form. By the end of seven years, it is not impossible that the revenue may once more have recovered from the reduc tions now proposed. But even should the increase be much more moderate, the circumstances of the country are favour able to the bold experiment about to be tried. It would be unfitting to present ',even this hasty sketch of the Budget for 1853 without commenting on the speech in which it was brought forward, which was one of the greatest Parliamentary efforts that the present generation has wit nessed. In an address' sating for five hours, neither the energy of the speaker nor the attention of the audience flagged for a moment. In the statement of all that wilder ness of details, there was neither confusion, nor omission, nor excess. Nothing obscure, and nothing irrelevant, disfigured the unity and lucid clearness of the exposition. No sentence could have been spared, and scarcely any addition could have been desired. Nor was luminous exposition the only merit of the Minister's speech. Whenever a trifling interruption occurred, his answer was as ready and playful as if the evening had been devoted to some casual conversation. Earnest when justice was to be vindicated, and feli citous in exposing subtle fallacies, Mr. Gladstone rose into a high strain of eloquence in his peroration, which confirmed c e o d lle b a y gn t e h s e and friends, was felt by its hearers to be something more than a mas t er ly burst of rhetoric. The applause of the H ouse , an d th e cor dial approval wili ,w o e f the can not doubt, be community, which must event ua ll y d ec id e d on the financial congratulations policy of the future. (From the Morning Post.) It has seldom been our fortune to hear a more powerful or a more complete speech than that in which Mr. Gladstone last night introduced the financial policy of the Government to the notice of Parliament. It was impossible not to be struck with the comprehensiveness of the view which he took of our fiscal system, or to do otherwise than recognise with admira tion the laborious industry with which the Chancellor of the Exchequer has mastered its bearings and its smallest details. We listened with great pleasure to the masterly and lucid ex planation of the position and prospects of our revenue, and with cordial assent to the sound and well-considered opinions which Mr. Gladstone so decidedly and so frankly expressed upon the character of the income tax, and upon the use that it is politic and legitimate to make of it in financial systems. Mr. Gladstone, after a most careful and laborious examina tion of the tax, and of its bearings upon the various classes to whom it is extended, has come no less conclusively to the opinion, and has now given expression tl it ni) less strongly than did Mr. Herries three years ago, when he proposed the application of the then surplus to its reduction, that it is in capable of novel or more equitable adjustment, and is there fore unfit for adoption as a permanent element of our fiscal system. We received with satisfaction this avowal of the Finance Minister of the Peelito party, and we will do Mr. Gladstone the justice to say, that he has not faltered with his convictions, but has honestly and broadly placed them before the public. We wish only that he had had the force to have shaken himself free of traditional policy, and boldly to have put in action what he explains so ably in theory. It is the true view of the income tax. It is a fruitful re source to fall back upon in times of sudden and pressing dearth—it is a great engine to be taken from the store-house of policy only in great straits, when we aro in risk of being lost without it. It is a tax for a great emergency, whether that emergency be the result of war or of any other concur rence of events which paralyses or exhausts the ordinary sources of revenue. Nothing is more hazardous, in our opinion, than to be habitually dependent for making both ends meet, in times of ordinary expenditure, on so extraor dinary and grinding a screw as a direct tax upon income and property. Mr. Gladstone appears to feel this, if pessible, more strongkr [PRICE SD. - than we do, and yet, what does he dog Why, instead of acting upon his strong convictions, he asks Parliament for a renewed lease of the income tax for a longer period than it has ever been granted for yet, in order that he may begin afresh, by its aid, the game that has already been played to exhaus tion of abolishing additional items of indirect taxation. It was, therefore, with considerable surprise and regret that we found, at the end of Mr. Gladstone's able and even eloquent review of the income tax, its character and its uses, that he proposes not only to renew and continue for a new 'term of years—limited in terms, we fear, rather than in reality--this very impost, so exceptional and so incapable of equitable adjustment, but that he actually proposes to im pose upon real property new direct taxation, in order forcibly and factitiously to create a surplus to be applied in remission of other classes of indirect taxation. We aro far from denying that Mr. Gladstone's comprehen sive scheme has in it many valuable propositions, evincing great knowledge of our financial resources, and great adminis trative talent in dealing with them. We shall give them in due season the careful and impartial consideration which they deserve, no less on account of their intrinsic merit than of the quarter from which they emanate; but, whatever their value and probable usefulness as details of a financial scheme, we , ch i a n nee common m i o o n f are constrained for the m omen t to put them out of the ques tion ; they are perfectly s e p ara bl e from this, and may be grafted on any other scheme ; we put them and their merits, we say, for the present, aside, and we o b ject, independently of all the accidents with which he has t r i e d to gild them to the main features of Mr. Gladstone's poli c y. We object' to the Exchequer—we object to creating a deficit by g enera l and discursive remissions of indirect duties, and filling up th e gap t to he t sa he m b e u gr dg o e u t n o d f t t h h a e t la w te e w id i s th m it himself, p o osa bj ls ecte on d the income tax for making fiscal experiments. by new direct taxation ; and we object to the furthe r use of (From the Morning Aevertiser.) The new Budget, to the development of which public atten tion has been so much directed of late, is at length before the country. The intense interest felt on the subject was evinced by the exceedingly crowded state of the house, and by the close and continuous attention with which Mr. Gladstone's speech was listened to from its commencement to the close, though the delivery occupied five hours. The financial schemes of the right hon. gentleman, though in part good, will not, unless we greatly mistake, meet, as a whole, the views and wishes of the country. They are not certainly what his more sanguine friends expected. For the various things which the Chancellor of the Exche quer is not to do, we must refer to the speech of the right hon. gentleman. After having alluded to these, Mr. Glad stone came to the great financial question of the day—the income tax. Our anticipations yesterday morning respecting what he would not do, in reference to that unpopular impost, are verified to the letter. Ho will not consent to make any distinction between precarious and fixed incomes. And here he will find that he has committed a great error, as well as perpetuated an existing injustice. The income-tax part of his Budget will be the most unpopular of all. It is true that he proposes to reduce the assessment from 7d. to 6d. per pound after a period of two years, and, after the expiration of other two years, from 6d. to 5d., at which latter sum it is to con tinue for three years more. This is no better than a piece of miserable peddling, and, besides, it sanctions the flagrant in justice of taxing the brains of the professional man, or the pen of the clerk, at the same rate as the rich landholder or the wealthy fundholder, whose income is altogether irrespec tive of effort of any kind, mental or physical. But we need not dwell on this feature of the Gladstone Budget. We have expressed ourselves, by anticipation, in as strong terms as we could employ in condemnation of this gross injustice to the toiling myriads in the various uncertain proceedings of life. The income tax is to be extended to Ireland. That is com mendable. The announcement will be received with a re gular Xrish howl on th e o th er s id e of the Channel, even though it is only to be fivepence in the pound there, while it is seven pence h ere. The tax is also to embrace all incomes down to 100/. a gear ; but for these it is to be fivepence, not seven pence. With a. limited surplus, the reduction in the amount of taxation oould not be expected to be great. The Right Hon. Gentleman proposes to make a compromise between himself and those who defeated him on the advertisement duty. He could not consent to abolish the duty entirely, but is pre pared to reduce it to sixpence. This is a concession un doubtedly, but it would be better far to extinguish it en tirely, as the sixpence will keep up the troublesome machinery by which. the present duties are collected. The halfpenny stamp draty on the supplements to newspapers is to be abolished.. Mr. Gladstone proposes to impose one tax, which will moet with great. opposition from the landed interest. We allude to a legacy duty on all real estates. This is a righteous tax, if any tax can be said to be so. But it will not on that account have to encounter one whit the less hostility from those on whom it is to be imposed. The grl uid conclusions to which the Chancellor of the Ex chequer comes, are, that in 1860, when his financial plans have comes into full operation, they will produce an amount of revenue v rhich will exceed the expenditure by 5,959,0001. a surplus which will enable, should he be so disposed, the Chancellor of the Exchequer of that day to dispense with the income talc altogether. The Bu dget of the Right Hon. Gentleman is, it will be seen from the glance we have given at its leading features, a cum brous and_ complicated affair. And on that very account, were there. no other objections to it, it is not likely to meet with the approval of the country. !SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

A comparatively thin attendance, and very little betting, the chief business being the settlement of the accounts con nected with the late Craven meeting. Two or three move ments, however, in reference to coming events, had a striking significancy. For the Two THOUSAND, West Australian was in so much in fitvour, that 2 to 1 and 7 to 4 were taken to some money. Orinoco had also several friends, and was backed freely at 3 -to 1 and 7to 2. Sittingbourne, meanwhile, was under strong suspicion; at first 1,000 to 200 was booked, but afterwards 10 to 1 went begging. In the course of tate morning, in the City, 100 to 6 was laid against him. THE DEBBY. —Some ups and downs amongst the favourites had their usual mystifying effect. West Aus tralian had a strong upward tendency ; the last bet taken about him was 700 to 100. In Honey - wood's position there was a marked improvement, 8 to 1 being taken about him. Sittingbourne, for this event as well as for the Two Thou sand, was quite out of favour ; 20 to 1 was offered, but at the Club as much as 30 to 1 was laid. Orestes, Orinoco and Brocket were " looki ng up " i n good quarters. The Reiver's friends were somewhat cheered by his return to Loco t o 30, and, notwithstanding the powerful opposition which had been arrayed against Cineas in the City and at the Club, 5,000 to 200 was taken about him, and to wards the close, 20 to 1 to 50/., odds which were after wards currently offered, The prices at the conclusion of business were as follows : THE FLYING DUTCHMAN'S HANDICAP. 7to 4 agst Talfourd (taken). 4to 1 agst Grapeshot (taken).

WHAT the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER has just FOUND OUT.—That the increase of the re venue in 12 months exceeds nine hundred and twenty thousands, and an advantage will be derived by the nation and individuals by a re duction of the rate of interest, which is to advance the real value of property. The favourable impression this has made on our com mercial citizens fully proves that Quality and Cheapness are the most approved principles of Business. This, very convincingly, supports, the practices of E. MOSES and SON, who commenced, and alone have carried out, the most substantial improvements in DRESS, at a reduction in prices far beyond the expectations of the ablest financier. What have E. MOSES and SON "just brought out?" The most magnificent and GIGANTIC STOCK of SPRING and SUMMER GOODS ever exhibited—peerless illustrations of the latest improve ment's in the world's commerce, the materials being selected with unparalleled diligence and perfect experience, from the newest and best samples furnished by every celebrated manufactory, British and Foreign. In this selection the success of E. MOSES and SON'S BUYERS will be found advantageous to their PATRONS and the PUBLIC in ways too numerous for detail. The richest, most novel and varied—tile finest and best materials—the first order of fashions —the most artistic cut—the neatest and best workmanship—is com bined with a great reduction in the prices of every description of ATTIRE, HOSIERY, HATS and CAPS, BOOTS and SHOES, Sec., Sec. Inspect the endless novelties in SPRING and SUMMER VESTS and TROUSERS, the thousands of NEW STYLES and fabrics of incomnarable elegance, the SPRING and SUMMER COATS and OVERCOATS, which for style, quality, and price have no equal, and it will he "found out" that E. MOSES and SON have provided Spring and Summer Dress for all classes in the amplest and most economical manner. MVO./ EMIGRANTS to AUSTRALIA, or any other part of the world, may save as much by purchasing their Outfits and requisite Clothing at E. MOSES and SON'S as, in many instances, will pay the cost of their passage : when the superior quality of the goods and the prices they are charged are compared, the saving is nearly half the amount which might have been expended elsewhere. E. MOSES and SON'S WHOLESALE BUSINESS offers the safest and most profitable investments for Capitalists and every class of Emigrants; the Goods, having,a world-wide celebrity, are sold without inconvenience, and turn to better interest than any other description of merchandise. The magnitude of E. MOSES and SON'S Outfitting Business in duces them to keep a separate Department for Emigrants; they also furnish (without any charge) full Lists of Outfits for Ladies and Gentlemen, with Sbipsalling information, &c., either on application or post free, to any part of the kingdom. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANT OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : 84, ny d C B6 II TA i E d s a t a a b t e l i , s o h p m p n e a n i t t , e l o s4 e , e ls h s nr , n l h s6 , , a an u c d n nim ls7, un lq i e l n a o t r n e g s . , 83, London West-end Branch, 506, 507, 508, New Oxford-street, 1, 2, 3, Hart street, all communicating.

(From the Times.) A Chancellor of the Exchequer may reasonably sustain the interest of a speech occupying five hours of time and twelve columns of space, by spreading over it the agreeable announce ments of surplus, reduction, and remission. But our readers will expect in this place a less artificial and dramatic arrange ment. We hasten therefore to put before them in rude sim plicity, and in little or no order, the principal parts of the Budget which now lies before the British Parliament to accept or refuse as it pleases. Mr. Gladstone, then, proposes to reduce the duty on tea by a shilling a pound—viz., from 2s, 21d. a pound to ls., spread ing the reduction over three years. The duty on soap, pro ducing a net sum of 1,111,000/., he proposes to. abolish at once and altogether. We have put these two remissions first and foremost, as they will be felt by every householder in this kingdom. Mr. Gladstone confesses himself unequal .to Ake equitable adjust ment of the Income Tax, and instead` thereof proposes to abolish it altogether after a gradual diminution for seven years. In 1855 he proposes that it shall drop to 6d. in the pound, and in 1857 to 5d., where it is to stand till 1860, when it is finally to expire. Meanwhile he proposes that it shall be levied to the extent of sd. on all incomes down to 1001., and shall be extended to Ireland, also at the same rate. These propositions alone would give importance to the finan cial statement of last night, and would make the year memor able in the history of finance; but the Budget includes, also, a reform of the tariff, worthy of being ranked with those of Sir Robert Peel. It is proposed to reduce the duties on butter, cheese, eggs, fruit, and on many articles of more or less importance ; while no less than 133 articles are to be struck out of the tariff, in addition to the hundreds struck out by Peel. The Assessed Taxes—that stronghold of iniquity which has so long stood the attacks of the genteel sufferers who pay them—have at length found their match. It is pro posed to abolish all progressive duties, so that each article shall pay the same, whether there be only one or a dozen ; to reduce the duty on hackney, and also on private, car riages, and on horses and dogs, so that there need be no longer a question as to the pedigree of every pet. It is proposed to make the license the only duty on post horses. Servants, also, are to come in for reduction. While ,the larger remissions with which we begin affect all, and prin cipally what are called the industrious classes, those we have just mentioned will afford a great and timely relief to many of the middle and professional classes. Nor is the abolition of the duty on soap all that is to be done in the Excise. letter.a abolished Lord Naas's oft-repeated and o ft- carried demand for the draw back for waste on spirits in bond i s to be conceded, the same rule being extended to En g l an d and Scotland as he had aske d for Ireland. In the Stamps, also, there is to be considerable f r r e a li n e kng f i re a cei r p e t eei s p tam t as ps it does do toes a be life assurance is to be reduced ; and th ose on attorneys' cer tificates respectively from 12/. an d 9 1. to Si. an d 61 .; an d the The a stamp duty h on stamp on admission from 120/. to 801. As to Taxes on Know ledge, Mr. Gladstone, neither induced nor hindered by the division of Thursday night, proposes to reduce the duty on advertisements to 6d., and to fix the duty on each newspaper at one penny a copy, without regard to its size, and without imposing an additional duty on supplements. Such is an imperfect summary of the long list of remissions, without a parallel, we believe, in any rev i o us Budget. We do not attempt at present to follow Mr. Gladstone in the grounds of the surplus out of which all this is to be done—a surplus, by the way, sadly diminished by the recent extrava gance of The Legislature. We will content ourselves with stating how Mr. Gladstone proposes to recruit this falling surplus, and make it equal to the heavy demands upon it. He proposes to raise 2,000,0001. a-year by extending the legacy duty to all successions, and abolishing the exemption which real property has hitherto enjoyed ' to increase the duty on Scotch spirits by ls., and on Irish by Bd. a gallon— the latter, with the extension of the income tax to that country for the next seven years, being counterbalanced by the remission of the " Consolidated Annuities," long the sub ject of Irish complaint. The great pratical test of a budget is the amount of relief it will afford without endangering the national credit. On this point we think there can be hardly any difference of opi nion. Difficult as it is to satisfy all parties, and impossible as it is to satisfy those who object to every measure of relief which does not immediately affect themselves, it would not be easy to point out a class that is not greatly interested in the success of Mr. Gladstone's propositions. As the income tax altogether is to be soon put in the way of reduction, it is scarcely worth while to consider the case of those whip are newly brought under the yoke ; but with the reduction on soap, tea, foreign butter, cheese, e gg s, fruit, and more than 250 other articles, carriages, horses, and stamps, we have no hesitation in saying that the man with 1201. a-year will be at once much better off under the proposed changes, even on a bare computation of losses and gains, without taking into ac count the stimulus that such remissions must give to trade. To small people with " limited incomes," living in country towns and rural districts, away from railways, coaches, and other public conveyances, and compelled to keep their pony carriages, their horses and gigs, or be as tied to the soil as the cabbages in their gardens, the budget will be a very great re lief. The case of the artisan we will leave to himself, or rather to his wife, for if he will only tell her fairly the contents of the budget, she can tell him that he will save several pounds a-year by it. In behalf of the press, of all advertisers, and of the public generally, we are bo u nd to express our thanks for a great act of justice. Considering the thousand and one ways of advertising that untaxed , ev en th oug h go a taxed in other countries, it certainly was very great hard ship that no housemaid could advertise for a place without paying t 6 Government at least two o.?_yt n i. wages for the w pri vilege of making her wants known . Bard to the it is about the last thin g abo lition of the duty on supplement s, we should have thought ourselves of asking. It i s a b oon which for aught n which our contemporaries will so on s we know, in a larger degree than ourselves, as the tax on ci rcu l a ti on which has often made our own n supplements un remunerative ' e s from publishing them at all. has prevented our contempora congratulate the British peo pleOn the whole, we cannot but the rare opportunities, and the on the great enterprise, they owe the possibility of high favour of Heaven, to which these great, we had almost said unexpected , reductions from happily doing their now hereditary burdens.

Mr. Gladstone and his colleagues have elected to stand or fall by the unmitigated income tax. There can be little doubt which of the two it will be. We very much doubt if an equal number of contradictions ever were crowded into a single speech before last night. First, we had the warmest praises of the income tax ; it was all that was splendid and glorious ; it had saved the country in the last war, and it had given us free trade in 1845. Yet, in a few sentences more, the eulogist incurable began to discover mani fold defects—faults so great and so en to render it ... 1 ... 1 ... 2 T. ~ I I 50; 0 0 po 0 39 P't;
