I,...tn , een " sayings and doings" so painfully perceptible as at present. It would almost appear as if men not only unblushingly avowed their inconsistencies, but even gloried in their shame. They do not even deem it advisable to cloak their tergiversation under any plausible pretext—to rely on some miraculous conversion—. some new light—which had convinced them of their former errors. No, Messrs. HUME and COBDEN never spoke out more distinctly and un equivocally in favour of the continuance of a Property and Income Tax than when avowing their intentions of voting in favour of a scheme based on its extinction at afuture period —never de plored more earnestly the gross and palpable injustice of the existing system than when pro mising to divide in favour of its renewal for seven years, without change or modification of any kind. As we have already stated, such matters must necessarily shake our confidence in public men, and induce feelings by no means complimentary to the popular Representatives. The first broad principle which Mr. COBDEN lays down, after a passing jeremiad on the amount of the Estimates for the National Expenditure, which may remain unnoticed, as being merely a rechauffee of sundry orations to the Peace Congress, is-- " That whoever held the reins of power—whoever the Chancellor of the Exchequer might be—whe ther GLADSTONE or DISRAELI—the inevitable rule must be to aim at the reduction of the Customs and Excise Duties, even at the expense of property and income." As an illustration of this doctrine, lie showed that Mr. DISRAELI had proposed "to take off a moiety of the Malt Tax— an indirect impost—and to meet the loss as far as he could by an additional tax on houses, whici, might fairly be considered a direct impost, and tha the Right Hon. Gentleman fell solely in that at tempt to find a substitute for that Malt Tax." This certainly does not appear a very strong en couragement to the Financial Minister to persevere in the course which led to the defeat and downfall of his predecessor an event which Mr. COBDEN made the most energetic efforts to accomplish. He approves of the substitution of direct for indirect taxation, but he votes against the Budget of the man who attempts to accomplish it, and in favour of that of his rival, which i s b ase d on th e u l t i mate cessation of the Income Tax, and as the inevitable consequence the reof, the cessation of any attempts to make further reductions in the Excise or C us t oms duties (!). He b owed the injustice and the im policy of the preshenet sy t stem of equal duties with out reference to t declared his intention of sup porting the plan pointed would renderth o u t gtih a en eaty shockingmdo d e m ifi o cation impossible. lie e adulterations resorted ralisation occasioned into,eons, these exorbitant charge s ; but, thcOue,:hic:th moral of o Mr. REEDE was oblig e d to tobacco trade, in con sequence of his re? al the participate in the fraud s p ract i sed by all a to petitors without exceptio n , th oug h the prisonseZ the workhouses bore fearful and unanswerable testimony against the laws that afforded so many temptations to smuggling, he (Mr. COBDEN) would sustain the system which he condemned with such powerful and unanswerable arguments. Again, on the point of the equal taxation of all descriptions of income, he clearly exposed the fallacy of the argument resorted to. He left the Right Honourable Gentleman without a particle of ground whereon to rely—asking triumphantly, " Could anybody doubt, if you put trades and professions at s±d., and real property at 7'd., that that would not be to some extent a diminution of the injustice 7" But still he voted against the financial scheme that would have put trades and professions at fiid., and real property at 7d., and declares his intention of supporting that which re fuses to recognise any distinction between the different kinds of income. But this is not all. As if to vindicate himself from the charge of inconsistency, he explains that he—the Free-trader--formerly opposed Sir ROBERT PEEL'S proposition'for the creation of an Income Tax—and that, although feeling the gross injustice to the receivers of precarious income, he also opposed Mr. HUME'S motion for the, appointment of a Select Committee to inquire and report as to the means that should be adopted to render the impost more equitable, and those votes were given notwithstanding the opinions which he then professed, and which he still avows ! On other points he also condemned the proposi tion. The licensing system justly incurred his condemnation. "He could not understand the rea son why the Right Hon. Gentleman was going to lay a tax on all traders who dealt in tea and tobacco." As to the Advertisement Duty, he hoped that the CHANCELLOR of the RXCHEQUER would not make " two bites of a cherry ;" and ho exposed the injustice and impolicy of "the sop to the levia than." But, notwithstanding, all these grave objec tions, and others, to which we have not time or space to refer, he gave his cordial support to the measure, open to so many and such serious objections. As if to place the inconsistency in even a stronger light, Sir CHARLES WOOD, with his usual acuteness, declared himself "quite incapable of re conciling the amendment with the speeches which had been delivered in its support," and this while receiving with the greatest complacency the suf frages of the Honourable Members for Montrose and the West Riding ! ! ! We are happy to find that the abstract proposi tion, so ably put forward by Sir EDWARD BULWER LYTTON, and in which every speaker (except Mr. DENISON) has fully concurred, will be followed by Mr. WILLIAM MicHELL, who has given notice of a specific motion, reducing the charge on pro fessions, trades, and vocations, from 7d., 6d., and 5d., to 5d., 4d., and 3d., respectively. There will, then, be a further opportunity for showing whether Hon. Gentlemen really entertain these opinions, or are prepared to make their practice coincide with the professions they have so long and so un equivocally put forward. The Sabbatarians have been taken on their own ground in regard to the question of so-called Sunday desecration. That question has been " religiously" examined in the course of a lecture delivered on the 3d instant before the members of the Tower Hamlets Literary Institution. Although a simple layman, the author of this dissertation has proved himself therein to be a biblical scholar of no ordinary character. He has displayed un common research, and has throughout treated the subject in that serious and respectful mood which is due to a matter of this august and austere de scription. We are consequently gratified to ob serve the recent appearance of his argument in the form of a readable pamphlet,* and are rejoiced to afford our circulation the medium of an nouncing the circumstance of its publication. Every additional effort to explain the difficulty at issue—that of reconciling the maintenance of public decency with the rational enjoyment by the people, on their only day of lei Sure in every week, of innocent recreation—commands at once our cordial approbation. It cannot be too fre quently insisted upon that in the whole of these endeavours made by the Sabbatarians to restrict the working-classes on Sunday to the sedentary cere monials of the conventicle, there are apparent both Selfishness and Pharisaism. Selfishness, because the closing on day of all places of harm less amusement cannot in any material way effect their own convenience. They, for their part, can select the time and place of enjoyment ac cording to the promptings of the moment, going where they list, when they list, at their pleasure. They can go, for example, on Monday to the British Museum, on Tuesday to the National Gallery, on Wednesday to the Colliseum, on Thursday to the Vernon Collection, on Friday to the Tower of London, on Saturday to all or any one of the scattered Dioramas. They will be en abled to make a journey to the Crystal Palace on Monday, or Tuesday, or Wednesday, or Thursday. or Friday, or Saturday, precisely as it may suit themselves, when once that fairy structure shall have been opened among the green meadows of Sydenham. It is not thus, however, with the poor labouring man, who is occupied on the week days unremittingly from cockcrow to sundown. Sunday with him is the only day out of seven during which he can hope to drink in a mouthful of fresh air away from these horrible pits of corruption, reeking at every cubic inch with the vapours of pestilence the intramural graveyards. Sun day is the only gap of twelve hours coming con secutively during which he can dream of leisure as a joy in any way attainable, the only narrow interval dividing the moil and toil of each fort night, and affording him the blessed opportunity of adoring in peace the GOD who made him, and of afterwards sinlessly enjoying the world, of which that GOD has made him a denizen, by saun teringunder the green-leaves, apartfor a brief while from the sordid influence of his customary avocations. It is precisely because we regard this harmless kind of pastime for the Sunday afternoon as accordant - N., ith the holy and beneficent injunctions of the Christian Religion, that we ar e a l ways eager to protest, with the earnestness of deep rooted conviction, against the dogged and pur blind sophisms uttered upon the subject by our old friends the Sabbatarians. Satisfied that the pamphlet to which we have already made reference is calculated to waken the minds of the really intelligent to a recognition of the folly of this preposterous outcry against what is absurdly designated Sunday Desecration, we do here fervently urge upon the multitude at large its early and careful consideration. Who ROBERT LE BLOND may be who delivered this lecture before the members of the Tower Hamlets Literary Institution we have not the slightest knowledge. We find that name inscribed upon the title-page and that is all we know about his exist ence, or about the entire transaction. As one wholly unknown to ourselves we commend him for the lucidity and the honesty with which in consider ing the inquiry, " The Crystal Palace—ought it to be opened on Sunday ?"—he proves that the answer should be given in the affirmative, by. reference to the opinions uttered by the Apostles and Fathers of the Church—in fact, by some of the greatest believers in the truths of religion, dating back to the dawn of Christianity. * " The Crystal Palace--Ought it to be open on Sunday ? A Lecture. Delivered at, &c." By Robert Le Blond. Bvo. Pp. 24. Watson. London : 1853. The Honourable Gentleman the Member for Pontefract has given notice of a motion in the House of Commons in reference to the condition of the Metropolitan Bridges, having particular regard in that respect to the necessity for increased accommodation. Meanwhile the sub ject has again been brought under the consideration of the Court of Common Coun cil. There was a discussion, indeed, of no less than two hours' duration in that Court, upon the matter in question, only yester day. It arose on the proposal that the Report of the Committee, dated the 14th instant, should be formally considered. Although, as we have said, this discussion extended over nearly two hours eonsecutively, at th e en d of it, we rejoice to think the Our minta.tter was left f or f uture consideration. srfcaleitrnioBntaan:tetelethpaotstpthoneemstaetnet (i)sfattitieribbtriitdagbeles to the ' c l i of the metropolis, mid the necessity in their regard for increased accommodation,are must now be brought OLlvEllu under the rapidly, thank s t o M r. Until that n o ti ce has beenlce of the Legisl a t ure. by Parliam en t, we think accorded it would be pr ema t ure, the subje c t and, therefor e , injudicious to decid e upon the two points specified in any way definitively. More parti cularly do we consider that it woul d be injudicious, be - cause premature, seeing that one of the notions kept in view by some of the authorities within the boun daries of the City, is that of constructing a tem porary bridge to afford accommodation to public traffic while the bridge at Blackfriars is under going the process of renovation. A frivolous and extravagant expenditure, which we have already inveighed against rather frequently when pro posed by some wiseacres in reference to the other ricketty bridge at Westminster. Select, both at Blackfriars and at Westminster, a surer site than the old ones, which have long proved to be vilely chosen, and while the new bridges are being built, let the old bridges serve all the purpose that is required in the way of public accommoda tion. Under such an arrangement, London would be spared a considerable amount of expenditure. Having followed this (the only rational) plan, and having carried out the sensible proposals for the erection of new Bridges at such points of the river as St. Paul's and Charing-cross, we might then see the Thames at last adorned in this par ticular with structures worthy of one of the fore most capitals of Christendom.

His Majesty the. King of Hanover, the Prince of Hoh enlohe-Langen burg, and the Princess of Prussia, are expected to arrive in England to be present at the ceremony ; at which, with her Royal Highness the Princess Mary of Cambridge, they will stand sponsors to the young prince. THE COMMAND OF THE WINCHESTER.—The appoint ment of Captain Fitzgerald to her Majesty's ship 'Win chester, vacant by the lamented death of the brave Cap tain Loch in the Burmese war, is confirmed. Captain Fitzgerald leaves for India in the Ripon mail steamer on the 4th of next month. PEMBROKE DOCKYARD.—The officers and non-com missioned officers of the depot of the 36th Regiment, stationed at the fortified barracks, have had considerable practice with the Minie rifle, and their efforts have been highly satisfactory, the practice being extremely good. At a distance of 500 and 600 yards the target has received six or eight shots out of every ten fired against it ; and later practice, with the target 1,000 yards off, has prac tically proved the increased precision of the marksmen. The depot of this regiment has received orders to hold itself in readiness for removal to the north of England, and to replace it four companies of the Ist Regiment of Foot, or Royals, has been ordered for Pembroke. The depot has constantly been exercised, and is in a high state of discipline. COST OF COAL TO OCEAN STEAM COMPANIES.— Owing to the scarcity of shipping and the consequent rise in freights, the cost of coal to the Royal West India Mail Packet Company this year is after the rate of 80,0001. per annum more than it was the last year, and to the Peninsular and Oriental Company above 100,0001. per annum. CASINO DE VENISE.—The season at this popular place of amusement was brought to a close last night with a bal masque, which was attended by a very numerous company. Of course the characters assumed were of the ordinary description adopted on such occasions, but here and there an elegant dress or a well-maintained part might be observed. The festivities were kept up until an advanced hour, and the season, which on the whole has proved a very profitable one, was thus brought to a most successful termination. THE ASYLUM FOR IDIOTS.—The annual general meet- ing of the friends and supporters of this Charitable in stitution, which was founded in 1847, was held yester day at the London Tavbrn, for the purpose of receiving the report, and the election of 20 children from a list of 200 candidates ; Mr. Wilkes in the chair. The report stated that the numbers reported last April were 141 pupils and patients. There are now 198 in family. There are 48 attendants and servants, and these, with the number elected yesterday, make a total of 256 per sons. During the year the following legacies have been bequeathed to the charity :—From Mr. Lester Brown, 500/. ; from Miss Fanny Smith, 2001. ; and from Miss Vaughan, 1001. After stating that his Royal Highness Prince Albert had fixed Thursday, June 16, for laying the foundation-stone of the new asylum at Red-hill, Surrey, the report concluded by making an appeal for further support. The balance-sheet showed the total receipts from all sources (including a balance in hand of 6791. 2s. 10d., annual subscriptions . 2,6931. Bs. 6d., and life ditto 1,8841.195. 6d.) during the past year to amount to 8,9351. lls. 9d., and, after all expenses had been de frayed, there was left a balance in hand of 5311. 11s. 4d. The report having been adopted, 20 children from a list of 200 candidates were elected, after which the meeting separated. THE LONDON INSTITIITION.—Last night the annual general meeting of the proprietors of this institution was held at the theatre, Finsbury-circus, Thomas Baring, Esq., M.P., in the chair. The report exressed a feeling of regret at the death of the late Drs. Pereira and Mantel. A fourth volume of the library catalogue has been com pleted. Lectures have been delivered upon the abstract and applied sciences, and upon the fine arts. The receipts for the year were 3,878/. 16s. 7d., and the ex penditure was 3,046/. 2s. 11d., leaving a balance of 8881. 13s. Bd. in the hands of the treasurer. The stock amounts to 37,6301. The adoption of the report having been proposed, Mr. Gossett proposed, and Mr. Hart ridge seconded, an amendment, to the effect that a com mittee should be appointed to inquire into the state of the institution with a view to promoting the original objects. A long debate took place, in which Mr. Smee, Mr. Dillon, Mr. Lyell, and Mr. Smith, supported the original motion, den ied that there was a case made out for inquiry, and showed that the committee of visitors appointed by the charter was sufficient. Mr. Barnes, Mr. -Scott, and otbters supported the amendment, which, upon a show of hands, was carried by a small majority. A ballot was then demanded. The proceedings were of so noisy a character as to draw forth a rebuke from the choir. CURIOUS FR.A.UD.-At the beginning of the month a collecting clen: of MM. Bechet and Dethomas, bankers, of Paris, was robbed at the Treasury of some inscrip tions of rente. On Saturday, the thief, whose name is Burgot, was tried by the Tribunal of Correctional Police for robbery. The clerk stated that he bad seen him standing wits a pen behind his ear, in the outer office of the Treasury, and believing from his statement that he was an emplos .1, had got him to write down the numbers of the inscripi dons for him ; and that he had walked off with them vd ailst he had gone for a moment to change some other:, The man attempted no - defence, and tho tribunal 'oontlemned him to 15 months' imprisonment and 50f., aue,,, MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL. INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) CITY; TWO 0 CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 5,000 bales, all to the trade. The market closed tamely without alteration in prices. The sales comprised 3,500 American, 100 Pernam and Marauham at bid. to 7d., 800 Egyptian at 71d. to 11d. and 300 Surat at 31d. to 4td., per lb. Railway shares were firm, except London and North Western, which were heavy. The markets for Colonial produce have not been very brisk this week. Sugar, however, is in more demand, and has recovered from the previous de cline. Coffee is still neglected. Cotton has not varied. For tallow there is more inquiry, and Tea has been firm and is rising. The failure in the iron trade has caused a decline of 3s.- to 4s. per ton in pig-iron. The position of the markets during the month since the 24th March, is thus described by Messrs. H. W. Jewesbury and Co.:--_ "The improved tone which prevfaled in the foreign and colonial produce markets at the date of our last was shortly succeeded by considerable languor, and, ex cept for a very few articles, this feeling was general th ro ughout the markets, without however materially af fecting prices. The arrivals until lately have been large, and importers have supplied the markets freely, which has induced caution on the part of purchasers, and to effect sales a slight reduction upon former rates has been submitted to for some articles, whilst for others prices have remained firm, with an upward tendency within the last few days. Since the 'introduction of the Budget, there has been considerable inquiry for some of the leading articles, upon which the duties are pro posed to be reduced or repealed, and business to some extent has been done at advanced rates. The deliveries of sugar for export show a falling off as compared with last year, but for other articles, both for export and home use, they continue upon the same satisfactory scale as noticed for a considerable time past, and as the spring advances increased activity in our markets is fully looked for. The advices from the Continental produce markets continue to report a general steadiness in all the leading articles except tin, which has declined in value. The demand for dyes and dyeing ma terials has continued good. The finer qualities of cochineal have again advanced in value. Indigo is very firm. Lac dye and safflower maintain about previous rates. The late accounts from India and China show a slight im provement upon former advices for imports, which has caused rather more inquiry in our cotton manufacturing districts fdr goods suitable for those markets. In the woollen districts a steady demand exists, and prices are without alteration." The gross and net receipts for tolls on the Cana dian Canals for six years,. were as follows, viz. : In 1847, gross, 50,1311. ; net, 41,1321. In 1848, gross, 46,493/. ; net, 36,8151. In 1849, gross, 56,200/. ; net, 48,0331. In 1850, gross, 65,772/. ; net, 55,110/. In 1851, gross, 75,216/. ; net, 63,930/. In 1852, gross, 84,6021; net, 69,3921. It appears that the Council of War held at St. Petersburgh, under the presidency of Field- Marshal Paskewitch, had found that the frauds upon the Invalides amounted to 1,200,000 roubles. During sixteen years M. Politowski, the head of the establishment, has abused the confidence of the Emperor by false documents, covering the deficit. The Netherlands Bank has declared a dividend of 30 florins per share to the 31st March upon the capital of 15,000,000 florins. The reserve fund is 2,266,095 florins. There is not quite such a good market for public securities, less speculative business being trans acted. Consols have realised 100 k to for trans fer, and 1001 for account. The New 3/ per Cents. have been marked 103 to 1031, and the 3 per Cents. 99i to par. Bank Stock has been steady, at 226 k to 227 k, and South Sea Stock at 1154 to 116. At the meeting of the proprietors yesterday, it was stated that the accumulations or surplus capital amount to about 600,0001., the building or South Sea house being valued at 25,0001. The proprietors will be assembled again to decide upon converting, but there is no doubt of their acquiescence. Only the small Exchequer Bills have been dealt in. East India Bonds are at 375. premium. Foreign Securities have been heavier generally. Peruvian Deferred are an exception, having been done again at 89. Mexican Bonds have been flatter at 26i- to 27, and Equador have declined to 6. Brazilian 5 per Cents. have been marked 1001, and the Small 103/. Spanish Certificates are heavy at 6i The accounts from Madrid in some of the journals are to the effect that the Government would not make any further effort to convert this security; but this is highly improbable. Dutch 2k per Cents. have been at 65k to 66. The Railway Share Market has been very firm for most of the , lines, North-Western constituting an exception.

The hedges and trees are rapidly assuming their summer garb, the sky lark tunes her notes on high, and the cuckoo has been already heard in the neighbourhood. In Lincolnshire, Lancashire, and Cheshire there have been heavy snow and thunder storms. LAUNCH OF THE ATRATO.—GREENOCK, Tuesday. — There was launched to-day, from the building yard of Messrs. Caird and Co., the magnificent paddle-wheel iron steamer Atrato, for the Royal West India Mail Steam Navigation Company. This ship has been built to replace the Demerara, which was unfortunately de stroyed or rendered useless while on her way to receive her engines ; but the Atrato is of much larger dimen sions than the other, being, in fact, the largest steamer afloat, or that was ever launched ; for, though there are line-of-battle-ships of greater tonnage, these have been built in dock, and merely floated out. Her dimensions are as follows :—Length of keel and fore-rake, 315 feet ; ditto over spar-deck, 350 feet ; breadth of beam, 42 ; depth of hold to main-deck, 264 feet ; height of spar deck, 7 feet; tonnage, 3,466 tons. She has two pairs of beam engines, of the collective power of 800 horses ; her cylinders are 96 inches in diameter, and her pis tons have a stroke of 9 feet. Messrs. Caird and Co. have only been 15 months in turning out this great ship, and, as she takes in the engines intended for the De merara, which have been completed long since, she Will be fitted up and ready for sea in a very short period.' She will have accommodation for 230 first-class passen gers with - their servants, and have every comfort and con venience found to be in any hotel on shore. She will be beautifully decorated with stained glass pictures by Bal lantine and Allan, Edinburgh, having 40 portraits illus trative of the various orders of English costume, from the days of William the Conque ror downwards. She is clinker-built, and it is scarcely possible to conceive that anything stronger could be fabricated by the hand of man. The ship was named by the youthful Lady Michael Shaw Stewart, recently Lady Octavia Gros venor, and on the last dogshores being struck away she went into the Clyde with all the ease and grace of a pleasure yacht. There were present (in addition to Sir M. Shaw Stewart, and m an y of the principal inhabitants of Greenock), Captain Mangles and Captain Liot, directors of the West India Steam Navigation Company- Mr. George Mills,, the engineer of the company ; Cap, taro Onslow; Captain Elmslie, Mr. Just, of Liverpool; director of the Pacific Steam Navigation Coopany ; Mr. J. Boreal', of Liverpool ; Messrs. Burns, f Glas gow, &c. It is worthy of mention that within these last two days four splendid iron steam and sailing vessels have been launched in the Clyde ; one of the latter of 1,500 tons burden. A COW'S DIGESTION.—On Saturday last, Mr. Mac bean, Mains of Flowerburn, slaught ered a cow which he had fattened with Elk success for some months. On cutting the animal open he found in its inside a large table knife which had probably been swallowed some time before. Except a small portion of the point, which protruded between the ribs, the knife was in good cor.- dition, and bore no traces of corrosion.--North British Daily Mail. NEWMARKET RACES. (THIS DAY.)

ALLEGED ROBBERY.—Louise Aubal, a French woman of easy virtue, residing at No. 14, Sherrard-street, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with stealing a Brussels lace shawl, value 241., the property of Philip Delfosse, importer of foreign goods, 10, Queen-street, Golden-square. Mr. W. B. Davies appeared for the prosecution. The complainant deposed that the prisoner was for merly a lodger in his house, and on the 26th inst. she spoke to him about a lace shawl, and he showed her the one produced, worth 241. He was in his counting house when he showed her the shawl, and at her request allowed her to take it up to her room to look at it. She did not come down stairs again, and in the course of the night sbe and all her baggage disappeared. He then gave information of the robbery to the police. By Mr. Davies—When he parted with the shawl it was only that she might examine it at her leisure. He did not sell her the shawl, nor did she pay him for it. King, 39 C, said he took the prisoner into custody at 14, Sherrard-street, and on telling her the nature of his visit, she pointed to a box in the room, and said the shawl was there. He took it out, when she told him she had bought it of prosecutor. The defendant denied stealing the shawl. She had purchased it of complainant, and paid for it. Mr. Bingham said the prosecutor had sworn he had not sold her the shawl, and he should therefore send the case to the sessions. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.—Ann Woolmer was placed at the bar, before Mr. Bingham, charged with stealing a quantity of wearing apparel, value 161., the property of Mrs. Bomberger, the wife of a teacher of languages, No. 2, Charles-street, Soho. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner was in the service of the prosecutrix, and that during the absence of the latter on Tuesday last she absconded, taking with her a quantity of her mistress's wearing apparel to the amount of 161. Information was at once given to the police, and Sergeant Gummer, an active officer of the C division. in consequence of ! information he had received, pro ceeded to No. 2, Bird-street, Marylebone, and; appre hended the prisoner, who had concealed herself in a lumber room at the bottom of the house. He searched the place, and found a portion of the missing property there, and the remainder he found at a low lodging house in Gee's-court. The prisoner was committed for trial. THE BUDGET. ( From the Morning Herald.) We cannot help thinking that the Budget debate ought not to proceed much further without some means being taken to arrive at a positive conclusion as to the all-important point of the duration of the income tax. At present the ministerial scheme is being supported from two different sides, and upon exactly opposite grounds. One' party, at the head of which stands Mr. Hume, accepts the budget because it is a great step to wards a permanent income tax. Another class, repre sented by the Times, adopts the plan because it promises the entire removal of the income tax. Now, surely the country ought to know which of these two interpreta tions of the budget is the true one. And it also appears the more needful to have suck an explanation, because there is some reason to doubt whether Mr. Gladstone has himself made up his mind that the income tax shall expire, or that it shall not ex pire, at the end of the stipulated period. We ourselves heard him declare that he considered the tax to have such faults as to be unfit to be adopted as a permanent source of income. But, that we may not be accused of misrepresenting him, let us quote his words from the columns of the Times. This journal re presents Mr. Gladstone to have said : " There are circumstances attending its operation which make it difficult, perhaps impossible, in our opi nion not desirable, to maintain it as a portion of the permanent and ordinary finances of the country." " My own opinion is decidedly against the perpetuity of the tax." Such were Mr. Gladstone's own words, deliberately uttered, as finance minister, in the House of Commons. And yet— we have the information in so distinct a form that we find it impossible to doubt the fact—and yet, at that very moment, there were circular letters going about, from a Government office, to "a few select persons, asking for their assistancein suggesting such steps as should ren der the income tax a permanent portion of the national revenues. There could n.ot well be a clearer proof that even while Mr. Gladstone was expounding his plans to the House of Commons, he had not made up his own mind on this, the principal point of the whole case. On another point he has already given way. The new licence-system would have been, tip certain trades, a double income tax. For instance, it is now declared that Messrs. Barclay's licence would have cost them 2,8501. a year. Now this would have been just paying the income tax twice over. And all persons, in those seven trades, would have had to bear this double income tax. But Mr. Gladstone will re-consider this point. We rather think that he will have to re-consider a great many points before he gets his budget through the House of Commons. STUPIDLY LOST AND LUCKILY FOUND.— A person living in London, who has a large establishment at Esher, was proceeding to the latter place by rail on the 22d instant in a first-class carriage. He had a parcel with him containing 501. in gold and 251. in silver, with which he was going to pay wages to work men. As no one was in the railway carriage with him he put the parcel on a vacant seat, and forgot it when he left the train. Before he thought of his money tie train, which was a Woking one, had gone on. As soon as possible a search was made, but the parcel had vanished. Last Monday, three days after the above mentioned date, the parcel of gold and silver was found in a second-class carriage at Gosport, about 70 miles from Woking. It is supposed that some one must have taken the parcel as soon as it was lost, and, fearing to make use of the money, contrived to place it where it was afterwards found. _ _ COLONIAL-BUILT SHIPS.—As an instance of the strength and durability of our colonial-built ships, we may men tion that the ship Majestic of Liverpool, which was built in Miramichi in 1838, is now open in the Queen's Graving Dock, Liverpool, and no unsound timber is perceptible. She has recently been engaged in the African trade. UNLIMITED BULK IN A LIMITED SURFACE.—The moral and physical evils which result from the practice of in tramural burial have been so fully exposed by me in various publications and in my evidence before commit tees of the House of Commons, that any further insist ance on these points would seem unnecessary. But the failure of the Board of Health to carry into practice the im portant duties intrusted to it has re-opened the whole ques tion, thrown us back from practice upon theory, and ren dered it incumbent on me to re-state very briefly the facts which demonstrate the enormous folly and wicked ness of a system of which it is difficult to affirm whether its physical or its moral consequences are the most hideous or the most destructive. As I have frequently observed, nearly the whole question of intramural inter ment rests on the self-evident proposition that bulk must occupy space, and nearly all the evils attendant on the system arise from the necessity of finding room for un limited bulk in a limited surface. A certain space of ground will contain ~certain bulk (or number) of bodies, living or dead, and no more. If you attempt to increase the number beyond a fixed limit, you must necessarily displace a corresponding bulk ; un less you be prepared to prove that two bodies can occupy the same place at the same time. An acre of ground affords proper accommodation for the inter ment of 136 adult bodies annually. This proportion can never be exceeded for any length of time with out rendering inevitable practices which violate our best feelings, and destroy and endanger life. In Lon don the average number of interments to the acre is 426. Hence at the first glance we see that the parish graveyards of the metropolis are made to re ceive every year three times as many bodies as they ought—and four times as many as are permitted by the laws of well-regulated Continental states. But this simple statement gives only an imperfect view of the con dition of London graveyards. Eight of the metropolitan parochial grounds are surcharged with more than 1,000 bodies to the acre, annually. To explain this more clearly a few remarks may be necessary. The proper proportion of adult burials per acre for ten years is 1,360. Yet there are receptacles for the dead in London, in which twenty-four times as many bodies are buried in the same *space of ground as ought to be there buried. Now, if we suppose that the proportion of burials is brought down to its proper average, this can be done in two ways only. The burial-ground may be enlarged, or the time during which the body is allowed to remain in the ground may be diminished. But the extent of ground has not been increased, therefore the time must be dimin ished, and to establish the proper proportion it must be diminished to a twenty-fourth, or five months, which are the twenty-fourth part of ten Years.—V.
