SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. SPORTING NOTES.—No. CCCCXXXV. THE ASCOT MEETING.—The second day at Ascot, although not considered equal to the Tuesday or Thurs day in attraction, has yet merits of its own, and cannot be looked upon as an " off" d a y, like the Thursday at Epsom. Though the majority of the stakes will not produce good fields, yet the appearance of some noted and " terrible high-bred cattle" will well repay the ama teur sportsman. The weather on this (Tuesday) the opening day is as fine as could be desired; and though her Majesty has signified her intention of not being pre sent, the Clerk of the Weather seems to have put on his best behaviour, as if he thou g ht s h e m ight yet enter an appearance, and realise what has now almost become a proverb, that the fine weather and her Majesty go visit ing together. The Fernhill Stakes of 15 sovs. each, 5 ft, with 50 added, two-year-olds 7st, and three 9st, mares and geld ings allowed 31b, about half a mile. This stake has ob tained a very good entry, numbering no less than 21 ; and, among others, will have at the post Sine Qua Non, Begum colt, Chedder, and perhaps Village Lass. This race is very uncertain. The public and the money de clare for Sine Qua Non, and making out that it is all over but shouting ; but I fancy that Cheddar, Village Lass and the Begum colt will give him quite enough worrto do to win. The Royal Hunt Cup, a piece of plate, value 200 sovs., by subscription of 10 Boys. each, and 100 added, for all ages, two-year-olds excepted, new mile. Hobbie Noble, at the top, with all his weight, I should say, would run respectably. Daniel O'Rourke, Chief Justice, Chief Baron Nicholson, Little Harry, King of Trumps, and Knight of the Shire, must give precedence to Nutshell. Grey Tommy is beyond the pale altogether, at 7st 121 b. Pelion, at 7st 81b, is overdosed. Azael will probably only run, gaining nothing by the motion. Lainbton, I presume, will not start. Pharos likewise. Father Thames and Telescope have no chance at the same weight as Evadne. The Sally Warfoot colt, Glenluce, Alfred the Great, Cheddar, Little Savage, Puritan, Kite flyer, Hambletonian, and lanthe, are booked tolerably safe by the Italian and Broughton. Old Dulcet'r days have gone. Benits, and Khadidja have not speed suffi cient. Dove is overburdened with weight. Old Row ley is no go. Hothorpe, who has been trusted so often, and done so little, would astonish the majo rity of spectators were he to turn the scale of fortune on this occasion. Antigone is in light enough, but is a thorough bad one. Ducrow, Tested, Jullien, Sir John Barleycorn, and King Pepin, have their chances scored up by Beverlac. Tamerlane, Chilton, Catspaw, Break-o'-day Boy, the British Farmer, Corybantes, Sur prise, Torment, Prevention, Koh-i-noor, and, in fact, all the rest can have but very little chance while the four year-old Octavia at 6st 31b is in the field. To sum up my remarks, I am of opinion that the struggle at the finish will be confined to Hobbie Noble, Nutshell, Be verlac, and Octavia, expecting them to pass the judges chair, IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS-(YESTERDAY.) Octavia, . Nutshell. THE DISPUTE IN THE CABINET. Mr. MOORE, seeing the noble lord the member for the city of London in his place, wished to ask him a question, of which, for want of time, he had been unable to give the noble lord notice. The question he wished to put had reference to a corres pondence which had appeared in some of the morning papers of to-day. It would be remembered that, on the 31st of last month, the noble lord made a speech in the house which excited some surprise at the time, and which appeared to have excited some surprise in the minds of some members in the cabinet. A correspon dence had taken place on the subject between Mr. Monad' and Lord Aberdeen, but there was an import ant discrepancy in one of the letters published by the Times and that printed by the Morning Chronicle. In the former it was stated that the views of the noble lord on the subject referred to were "not shared in by any of his (Lord Aberdeen's) colleagues," but in the latter the words were, "was not shared by many of my col leagues." Now he wished to ask the noble lord which was the correct copy of of Lord Aberdeen's letter, that which appeared in the Times, or that which was given by the Morning Chronicle? and if it was not the whole but only a majority of the Cabinet who did dot share in the noble lord's views, would the noble lord be good enough to state who the members of the Government were that differed with him ? (Oh, oh, and laughter.) He wished also to ask the noble lord whether it was to be understood that only the votes given by the noble lord had the sanction of the other members of the Government, but that the views stated by him might be repudiated by the whole in a majority of the Government. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) Lord J. RUSSELL said, sir, with respect to the first question which the honourable member has asked me, I have to state that I have been informed by my noble friend Lord Aberdeen that there is an important misprint in the letter which is given in the Times. The misprint consists in stating that the views referred to were not shared by any, whereas it should have been that the views were not shared by many of my noble friend's colleagues. (Hear, hear.) The letter, therefore, given in the Morning Chronicle, is the correct one. (Hear.) So much for the first question which the hon. gentleman has asked me ; while, with regard to the second namely, as to who are the members of the Government who do not share my opinion, I beg to state that I am wholly unable to answer the honourable gentleman. (Hear, hear.) I will only say further, in answer to the last question of the hon. gentleman, that Lord Melbourne always used to say that it was quite sufficient that the members of a Government should agree to the course to be pursued, without its being at all necessary that they should agree to all the reasons assigned by each for the course to be taken. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) A Sweepstakes of 15 sovs. each 10 ft ; colts, Bst 71b ; fillies, Bst 31b ; three-quarters of a mile, will probably fall to the lot of Bourgeois or Cock Pheasant. The Coronation Stakes of 100 sovs. each, h ft, for three-year-old fillies, old mile, will, of course, be borne off by the Oaks mare, CATHERINE HATES, notwithstand ing the 71bs penalty. Lord Exeter will furnish sport in running her only opponent, I presume. The second year of the Fourth Ascot Triennial Stakes of 10 sovs each, 100 added, new mile, will, I believe, be contested by Filbert, Tamerlane, Sittingbourne, The Reiver, and perhaps Cheddar. The race requires very little consideration, as it is evident that between SIT TINGBOURNE and the Reiver the decision must lie. The first year of the Fifth Ascot Triennial Stakes of 10 sovs each, 100 added, T.Y.C. I have not been able to ascertain the extent of the field, but the following will form a component part of it :—liribery, Punch Box, Glenstrae, Bracken, Marble Hill, Meteora, Lady Audrey, and Brigliadoro. There are so many dark animals in this stake with good repfitations that it is difficult to discover the winner. Scott's Meteora is blazing away brilliantly, and seems determined to have it all to her self. I must call my readers attention to the fact that Glenstrae is likewise a fine animal. Some of the other dark celebrities do not run, therefore, to these two I have named, and Brigliadoro, I confide the disposal of the race, and, on the strength of Malton information, I must give the best of the struggle to Meteora. This brings Wednesday's racing to a terminus. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. JOINT-STOCK BANKS. Australasia 1 British N. American Chrtd.

COLONIAL. SUGAR. —Shippers are doing less in foreign, nor are home buyers taking much. Prices, however, remain about the same for duty-paid parcels and floating cargoes. The quantity of British plantation landed last week at the East and West India Docks was 3,910 hhds 463 tierces 1,G49 barrels ; there were taken for home consumption 1,293 hhds 160 tierces 188 barrels. The stock in the same places is 9,449 hhds 1,525 tierces 2,080 barrels. Refined has been taken sparingly, and the supply is larger. COFFEE.—Not much is doing, and prices are barely maintained. Rum.—The quantity landed last week at the East and West India Docks was 7 46 puns, 128 hhds. There were taken for home consumption 246 puns 9 hhds, and ex ported 58 puns 66 hhds. The stock in the same places is 8,543 puns 567 hhds. TALLOW.—P.Y.C. is 475. per cwt on the spot, and town 49s 3d, being easier. TEA.—The market is firm, but there are not large trans actions, the dealers being occupied with clearances and duty payments, the quantity delivered by the London Customs last week being 2,930,000 lbs. TOBACoo.—There was an improved demand during last month, especially for western strips, and sales may be esti mated at fully 1,000 hhds, at full quotations, added to which, about 300 hhds of leaf were taken for exportation, chiefly of ordinary description. The market may be re presented as very firm, and holders disinclined to make sales excepting at full rates. Advices from New Orleans, dated the 7th ult., represent the market very firm, and for some sorts a slight advance had been obtained. There was an active demand for fat and fine leaf, and as the new crop was deficient in these qualities, factors were enabled to obtain the highest outside quotations. Freights having de clined. There were three vessels loading for London. In Virginia, sales have been very limited, and confined to a few small lots to the trade for immediate use—the pre sent state of stock precludes any transactions deserving at tention. In Kentucky leaf and strips, nearly the whole of the business transacted last month was concentrated, and sales may be stated at upwards of 1,300 hhds. Several parcels of the latter, and also of Missouri were taken in the early part of the month, at an advance of id. per lb. on former rates, and this has been subsequently very firmly maintained. Maryland was dull of sale, and prices for good and fine without alteration. In Havannah tobacco we have to notice the sale of only one parcel. Havannah cigars have been in fair demand, espe cially those most suitable for general trade ; prices remain firm. Manilla cheroots stock quite exhausted. In Manilla tobacco a large business has been transacted at a great re duction in price. Yara and Cuba—ln the former a small parcel has been taken at full rates ; in the latter very little done. Havannah seed leaf , Florioia, Porto Rico, and St. Domingo, nothing done. In Brazil the business of the month has been confined to a few small purchases made bythe trade for immediate use. Columbian (Ambalema and Giron)— In both descriptions, a few sales have been made, but only iu fine qualities ; ordinary sorts still neglected and difficult of sale. German—Selections from the old crop continues to be taken by the trade freely. For cutting purposes there has been very little demand. Amerfoort—Sales of about 20 cases have been made for snuff purposes. In Negro head scarcely anything done, in consequence of the low prices ruling in the Colonies. Stock is considerably in creased. Cavendish—fine qualities, continue in fair re quest ; ordinary and heated parcels very difficult to place. American States in moderate request. Mixed Stalks dull of sale ; Smalls less enquired for. HAY MARKETS. SurrHFlELD.—Mcadow hay, 31 5s to 41 lOs ; clover ditto, 41 10e to 51 lOs ; and straw, 118 s to 1114 s per load. Supply tolerably good, and trade rather dull. CUMBERLAND.—AIeadow hay, 31 8s to 4/ lOs ; clover ditto, 4/ N to Si 8s ; and straw, 1/ 8s to 1/ 15s per load. A full average supply, and a sluggish demand. WHITECHAPEL.—Meadow hay, 31 5s to 41 8s; clover ditto, 41 Os to 51 10s ; and straw, 118 s to 1/ 14s per load. Trade steady, at full prices. NATIONAL C H ARACTERISTICS.—An Irishman fights before he reasons ; a Scotchman reasons before he fights ; an Englishman is not particular as to the order of pre• cedence, but will do either to accommodate has customers. INCOME TAX BILL. On the motion for the third reading, Col. HARCOURT called upon the Government to make some exception in the bill in favour of pilots. Mr. HUME said he should not move any amendment to the bill, but it must not be supposed from this that he abated one jot in his opposition to the present inequa lities of the income tax. (Hear, hear.) He thought time would show that this country would not stand it, and, with the expression of that opinion, he should al low the bill to pass under protest. (Hear.) Mr. L. HEYWORTH argued that an income tax was a very proper tax, but it ought to be relieved of the inequalities which disfigured the present measure. Mr. GROGAN, Captain KENNEDY, and Colonel DUNNE took the last opportunity which would most likely be afforded them of protesting against the extension of the income tax to Ireland. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER reminded the house that Ireland would be compensated for the burden of this measure by having the annuity tax re pealed. Mr. MAGUIRE said it had been stated by an ex- Chancellor of the Exchequer that this measure would impose upon Ireland an additional taxation of 413,0001. a year. After a few words from Sir A. BROOK, the house divided, when there appeared— For the third reading lB9 Against it 55 Majority On the question that the bill do pass, Sir F. KELLY moved a clause to reduce the tax upon incomes between 1001. and 2001. a year from 7 to 3id. in the pound, and upon incomes between 2001. and 3001. a .. 134 year to Sid. in the pound. The first class on whose behalf he asked the house to agree to this clause was that of the poorer clergymen and curates who had to support them selves in a respectable position of life on very slender means. lie also asked them to agree to it on behalf of the smaller and poorer class of tradesmen and small farmers, the latter of whom had had their incomes reduced one-half by recent legislation. He had a precedent in the appeal that he mule. It was well known that in 1806, when the in come tax was raised from 6j to 10 per cent., a distinction was made in favour of various classes of persons identical with those on whose behalf he was now addressing the house ; and on whom the tax was then fixed at only 5 per cent. If in the midst of the longest and most expensive war this country was ever engaged in, this distinction was made, on what ground should it be refused now ? The Chancellor of the Exchequer had conceded the principle to some extent, as he had provided that the tax on incomes under 1501. should be 54d. in the pound. He trusted that Government would take the matter into consideration. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he was very sorry it was quite impossible for him to accede to the request of the right hon. gentleman, that Government should take this clause into consideration, and for reasons which were obvious. All persons felt that one great dan ger respecting the income tax was the exemptions that it involved ; that there was a serious danger in the principle involved in these exemptions. The consideration on which the exemptions had been chiefly justified was, that there was a certain point in direct taxation in the progress down wards, at which the sum they to levy became so small in proportion to the cost and difficulty and vexation of col lecting it that it was not wise to impose the tax upon them. Mr. Pitt, in imposing the income tax, fixed the limit at 601., and he proposed a variety of graduations be tween 601. and 2001. He likewise introduced exemptions of the nature of those proposed by the hon. and learned gentleman in his second clause—namely, in favour of mar ried persons having a number of children ; and others in favour, for instance, of the clergy. In practice it was found unwise to continue these exemptions. It was found desirable, in the first place, to simplify the tax by getting rid of the gradations ; in the second place, to remove all questions of a dangerous tendency by abolishing privileges in favour of particular classes, and in favour of persons having families, large families as compared with those who had small families or none, and to fix a single exemption point. Sir Robert Peel, when ho fixed the exemption point at 1501., was very much censured for fixing it at so high a point. The course, therefore, that experience pointed out was this—that when the income tax was first imposed it was on a complex basis, with a variety of ex emptions for different classes, that as the tax had gone on in its working they should get rid of those exemptions and simplify it as much as possible, and that the distinctions should be as few and as broad as possible. Tho princi ple that the hon. and learned gentleman would intro duce was really a most dangerous one. He would not say that his arguments wore radical, for they really went a great deal further than Radicalism. (Hear, hear.) Tho reason why the Goverr aunt proposed to stop at 1501. was because that was already the law, and a little experience in such a matter was worth a great deal more than much ab stract reasoning. Indeed, if he (Mr. Gladstone) had to give an abstract reason for stopping at that sum, he should perhaps have great difficulty in doing so. There was, how -1 ever, this general principle in selecting 1501.—0 r rather 1001.—it was, speaking generally, just outside the wages of the labouring classes, so that the law would practically exempt the working man, or nearly so. There was this great reason why working men should be exempted, namely, that they received their wages weekly, and in large towns mostly hved in lodgings, so that it would be exceedingly difficult to collect the tax. (Hear, hoar.) If, however, they accepted the principle of the hon. and learned gentle man, they would be embarking upon a much wider field than perhaps he was aware of. How, for instance, could we fix 400/. as the mark above which everybody was rich, and below which everybody was poor ? If they once opened the door, they would find a vast number of parties whom the hon. gentleman did not contemplate attempting to rush through it. (Hear, hear.) Mr. SPOONER said the right hon. gentleman had al ready adopted the principle of the clause in making a dif ference between incomes of 1001. and 1501. Did the right hon. gentleman mean to say that he would tax a clerk who had a salary of 1001. a year, and excuse a workman who re ceived two guineas a week ? He (Mr. Spooner) certainly could not recollect that Sir Robert Peel had been blamed for taking so high a figure as 1501. ; and he should support the clause, not only as being just, but as calculated to afford great relief to large and struggling classes, and to remove some of the aversion with which the tax was regarded. Sir G;GOODMAN was afraid the hon. and learned gen tleman did not go so much amongst his constituents as he ought, or he would have known that the farmers were ex ceedingly well satisfied with their present position, and that they would hardly thank him for his motion. Mr. E. BALL, on the contrary, affirmed that the far mers generally were never more dissatisfied than at present, although he would admit that the large farmers who could breed extensively received a remunerative return upon their capital. (Cheers.) The small farmers, however, were not partakers in the advantage, and would be grateful for the relief that would be afforded them by the clause. Mr. LAING had great experience with respect to small farmers in Scotland, namely, men with rents of 101. or 151., and up to 501. a year. The prosperity of that class might be measured by the circulars of the Manchester cotten manufac turers, for the welfare of the two classes fluctuated together. He happened to have received that very morning a letter from a friend who had supposed that the recent commercial legislation would have been ruinous to the small farmers, but he now confessed that he had been agreeably disap pointed, for they bad never been so well off before. (Hoar, hear.) If any class had suffered at all, it was not the large nor the small, but the middling agriculturists—the posi tion of whom had become analogous to that of the small manufacturers who were unable to compete with men of more capital and intelligence. (Hear, hear.) The prin ciple of the proposed clause was really of a very revolu tionary character. Ifit were admitted they could not stop short of constituting every Board of Income Tax Commis sioners a Court of Equity to assess each man's tax accord ing to his supposed ability to pay ; and if they did that, confiscation must follow. These amendments were grounded upon a mistaken account of the supposed un popularity of the income tax with those who paid it under schedule D. He believed that if those persons were offered the option of continuing the income tax, and of having an equivalent amount of indirect taxati on re stored, or even of having other direot taxes imp ose d i n its TATTERSALL'S-YESTERDAY. Although several events were brought under notice, speculation moved but slowly. For the Ascot Stakes 6 to 4 was booked to a good deal of money about the favourite, the layers being the first to slacken. 100 to 15 was taken three or four times about Nervous 10, 9, and Bto 1 about King Pepin, and similar Odds to various small sums about Little Davie. 1001. were laid out in favour of Russ borough, at 12 to 1. Investments at 2 to 1 about Pelion for the Gold Vase had the effect of sending him out of the market for the Emperor's Plate ; 5 to 2 and 2 to 1 were taken about Rataplan, but the outlay was only very moderate. EMPEROR'S PLATE.—At the commencement 2 to 1 was taken repeatedly in hundreds about each of the leading favourites ; towards the close, however, 5 to 2 was laid against each. Finally, Stockwell had decidedly the call of Teddington, 2 to 1 being taken about him, and sto 2 laid against the latter. Kingston, reported en route, advanced from 10 to 8 to 1 taken ; 10 and 9 to 1 taken about Defiance; and 12 to 1 to "a little " about Weathergage. The Derby betting was especially remarkable for the number of horses backed at so early a period at 25 and 20 to 1 ; the circumstance is, to the best of our remem brance, quite unparalleled.

His recollection, however, as to recent events is not yet sufficiently improved to enable him to give any account of the circumstances under which he was found.. Three parties have given different statements to the police, and each is positive as to his own correctness, so that until the man himself sufficiently recovers to give his own testimony of the affair, the police are unable to take any further steps.—Exeter Gazette. A petition has been transmitted from the principal inhabitants of Bombay to the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, for presentation to the House of Commons, against the inefficient manner in which the postal service to that presidency is conducted by tlp Indian L navy. „- stead, they would, in nine cases out of ten, prefer the first alternative. Take the hardest case that could be cited— that of the professional man struggling into practice, who was obliged to make a certain appearance without actually earning anything. At present, as those men had no income but were consuming their own capital, they were excused; but if they had to pay a heavy house tax, for instance, they would be made to contribute as much as if they were in the receipt of large earnings. (Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Laing) believed that the income tax was really a very popular tax. (Hear, hear, and. cries of "Oh !") Mr. G. BANKS admitted Mr. Laing's estimate of the prosperity of the different classes of agriculturists to be true; but it was precisely because the middling farmers were being destroyed that he wished to give them the small relief that would be afforded by the clause. The committee then divided : For the clause 3l Against it 144 ajoritv The clause was therefore lost. - 413 Sir F. KELLY then moved another clause, namely, "to deduct 5 per cent. from the amount of the tax paid upon all incomes under 4001. a-year in respect of each child of the party paying, born in wedlock, and under 21 years of age and unmarried." The clause was negatived without a division. Sir A. CAMPBELL moved the following new clause : "In charging the duty under schedule A of this act, in respect of lands, tenements, hereditaments, and heritages, in Scotland, an allowance or deduction shall be male for the amount of all parochial and county rates, taxes, and assessments which by law or custom are paid by the owner thereof." This clause was similar to one that had been previously moved and negatived, but as a similar relief had since been granted to persons in Ireland, he could not see how the right hon. gentleman could now resist it. In Scotland many rates and assessments were paid by the landlord, who, in consequence, received a higher rent. In England the same taxes were paid by the occupier, and consequently did not come under the operation of the in come tax. These included half the poor rates, the assess• ment for the repair of churches, manses, and schoolmasters houses ; the county rates, for the maintenance of prisons, cost of prosecutions, constabulary, bridges, &c., and the highway rates in some counties. Taking the average poor rate at 18.4 d. in the pound, and the county rate at 4d., and adding a proportion for the others, it made a difference of 6 per cent. in favour of the English landlord, through whose hands these rates did not pass. It had been argued that as the rate of assessment under schedule B in Scotland, was different from that in England, the allowance was sub stantially made. But on the greater number of farms in Scotland, the tenants paid no income tax, by reason of the smallness of their holdings; therefore the assessment under schedule B could make no difference to the landlords of that property. Then it was said that the system of repairs in Scotland was different from that in England ; but the Scotch members, to the number of 30, who had a meeting about the time the budget was proposed, had expressed the opinion that such difference did not exist, in answer to its allegation by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Probably the right hon. gentleman had been misled by the usual form of Scotch leases, which bound the landlord to put the premises in proper and tenantable repair, and the tenant to keep them so; and it was added, "ordinary wear and tear exeopted." But the usual practice was that, on the begin ning of a 15 or 18 years' lease, the landlord spent about a year's rent in putting the walls and woodwork of the farm in proper order, and the tenant was bound to keep them to, though not liable for what were legally called repairs. Great differences, no doubt, prevailed in different parts of the country—houses requiring more repairs than farms, and one kind of farms more than another. This was not a case without precedent ; for in the Income Tax Act of IM2, allowances were made for parochial rates, taxes, and assessments charged under the act for the commutation of tithes ; also for rates paid by the landlord which were legally payable by the tenant. Landlords in Scotland were precluded from taking advantage of this allowance by a subsequent clause. It might be asked why they had sot come before Parliament sooner; but it should be re membered that they were now imposing the income tax for the first time for seven years. The claim he now urged was to be granted to Ireland, though there was less ground, from the smaller amount of assessment. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER 'aid the hon. gentleman had founded himself partly on the general argument, and partly on the ground of a special concession which he supposed was to be made to Ireland. The gene ral ground had been discussed on a former evening ; he had opposed a olause more limited than this, and it had been rejected by a very large majority of the house on the ground that it would be impossible to make the concession without unsettling the whole structure of the income tax. Upon that ground he was prepared again to oppose it. The hon. gentleman had said nothing which tended in the slightest degree to show that that argument was not ap plicable to the proposal he now made. It was not a mere question whether the Scotch landlord paid 6 or 7 per cent. of public burdens and charges more than was paid by the English landlord. This income tax must stand as a sys tem of compensations. The hon. gentleman said they ought not to re-enact it until all the inequalities were removed. He should make the hon. gentleman an ill wish were he to wish that the duty was imposed upon him of removing all those inequalities. Probably, in a few months, he would rise from his task " a sadder and a wiser man.' (Hear, hear, and laughter.) The honour aisle gentleman had little conception of the difficulty of the task when he talked of removing all the Me- i qualities. The question for the house to consider was, whether the Scotch landlord was not as well off on the whole? Did the amount of tax paid by the Scotch landlord represent a greater proportion of his income than the tax paid by the English landlord? That was a very doubtful question, and was by no means determined by the insulated point raised by the hon. gentleman. But when they began to make concessions to landlords, what had they to say to house-owners ? (Hear, hear.) The Scotch landlord paid perhaps five per cent. for repairs; the house-owner had to spend, in England, and not in Scot land, 15 to 20 per cent. for repairs. Did not the hon. gentleman think that that question ought to be raised too ? If that question were raised, and a deduction of 15 to 20 per °out. made on house property under schedule A, the only effect of succeeding in that motion would be to let in a host of far more formidable claims under schedule D and E. Those claims, now resisted and in abeyance, would be revived ; and the landlord would lose more upon what might be conceded to them than he now lost by paying upon his gross, instead of upon his net income. This was, in fact, a small corner of a very great question. (Hear, hear.) It was whether they should have the income tax or not, in a shape, he granted, full of inequalities, but which in some degree compensated each other, but the very attempt to remove which would unsettle the whole. (Hear, hear) The hon. gentleman hail refer re d t o a spe cial case, and said that by virtue of a concession which he supposed was to be made to Irish landlords, the same ought to be made to Scotch landlords. He assured the house that no concession of any principle was going to be made to Irish landlords. (Hear, hear.) From the first introduction of the bill, the Government had founded themselves on a basis which did exempt, and was intended to exempt, Irish landlords from the payment of poor rates. As the bill was first introduced, the proposal was that the tax should be assessed on the poor law valuation. But the poor law valuation in Ireland was formed, by law, upon a principle which absolutely excluded poor rate from the calculation. (Hear, hear.) Therefore, from the first, they had bound themselves that Irish landlords should not be assessed upon a basis which included the poor rate. Per haps it might be asked why they had done so ? He could not answer that in the abstract; he must answer it as part of the whole case. They must look at the measure as a measure of policy and prudence, and one about to ho ap plied for the first time to Ireland—a country, be it re membered, which had not the same facilities for collection as existed in England, and where the relations of landlord and tenant, and of nominal to real rent, wore quite different to what they were in England and Scotland. (Hear, hear.) What had they done since ? They had made a great change in the law, but against the Irish landlord—(hear, hear)—for, instead of going against the occupier for the tax, they were now to go against the landlord. It might be thought that in England and Scotland it signified very little whether they went against the occupier, or against the landlord at once. He was sure that signiefid a good deal in Ireland. (Hear, hear.) A state of things existed there with regard to rental and the relations of landlord and tenant, which really would bring about this—that if they attempted to push too far their argument for absolute equality between England and Ireland, founded on ap parent resemblances, they would end in only aggravating the injustice. But the fact was there had been no change whatever in the principle on which they were proceeding. The bill of the Government hid been founded from first to last on this —that the general basis of the tax should be the poor law valuation ; and the poor law valuation, in the majority of cases, was under the rent. It was natural that it should be so, because the rent included a portion of the poor rate. But, the valua tion being under the rent, it was provided that the valua tion should be the basis. The valuation had been always held out, from first to last, as the general basis of the assessment in Ireland, and that entirely excluded the poor rate. The clause proposed by the hon. member for Youghal, was simply intended to apply a principle already recognised in general terms to particular and exceptional cases, whore the rent happened to be below the poor law valuation. That was the course the Government proposed to pursue with respect to Ireland. With regard to the general case of Scotland, as compared with that of Eng land, they must leave it to stand as it stood on a former night, and must abide by the decision of the house. (Hear, hear.) Mr. C. BRUCE said the Chancellor of the Exchequer had risen from his labours on the income tax, if not a wiser, infinitely a more unjust man. (Hear, and a laugh.) How stood the case ? In England and Ireland a landlord had a chance of being assessed on what he received ; in Scotland, he would be assessed for what lie never received. (Hear, hear.) This injustice was so monstrous that he was surprised the right hon. gentleman should seek to main tain it. The repairs of houses were quite a different thing ; they were necessary for the maintenance of the property. In one year he had paid for the rebuilding of a church as much as his whole rental, 1,200/. ; and yet he was assessed on the whole amount. (Hear, hear.) In another year he had paid 3001. for schools, besides other sums for charitable purposes • and yet he was charged in respect of those sums. Was not this a monstrous injustice ? The Chan cellor of the Exchequer appeared to have lost all feeling — (laughter)—but he would appeal to the sense of justice of the house. The Scotch were a long-suffering people with regard to taxation. They paid much and complained little ; but he would divide the house, if no one else did. Mr. SMOLLETT said ho should not have supported this motion, but for the principle having been conceded to Ireland. The fact ho believed to be this ; the Irish were disloyal and turbulent ; the Scotch were quiet and peace able. (Laughter.) In return for this, not only was the inequality which had existed all along in the income tax iu their case to be continued, but it was to be extended. Mr. DUNLOP said if the Chancellor of the Exchequer had stood on broad general principles he would have sup ported him, and not sought for an exception in the case of Scotland. But as he had allowed a reduction in Ireland the claim of Scotland ought to be insisted on. In England the same question did not arise, the rates referred to being laid on the occupiers. Hence, for a farm o f th e same value an English landlord would be assessed on a rental of 9001., and aSicNotNchAliiD said h antdlordonaefeltrentalcompelled to oflo,oo /. Mr. A.

The house divided— For Sir A. Campbell's clause 54 Against it 93-44 On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER, three new clauses were added to the bill in refer ence to deductions for poor rate paid by one party for another. Some verbal amendments were made in the other clause. On clause 43, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER proposed the insertion of certain words in regard to assurance com panies. This clause could not conic into operation till after the sth of October. That being so, and as there was a committee sitting on the subject of the registration of joint stock companies, he thought it better to take advantage of what remained of the present session, in order to determine by some simple provision, to which he did not anticipate anyobjection, binder what conditions exemptions should be allowed for the annual premiums. This would give no pre ference to one company over another, and would leave the matter quite open. After a short conversation the amendment was agreed to. On the motion that the bill do pass, Capt. ARCHDALL asked whether the Chancellor of the Exchequer would make the allowance which the poor law commissioners promised should be made to the rate-payers of Lowtherstown Union for the money paid by them under the Relief Act ?

After a few words from Mr. J. BALL and Mr. FREWEN, The bill was read a thi r d ti me, and passed. GOVERNMENT OF INDIA BILL. ADJOURNED DEBATE. On the order of the day for resuming the adjourned de bate on this bill being read, Mr. J. G. PHILLIMORE said it was with no ordinary anxiety that he rose to express his opinions on a question, on the proper solution of which depended the happiness of by far the larger proportion of their fellow-subjects. Differing as he did from the right hon. gentleman (Sir C. Wood) in much which fell from him the other evening, there was one point on which he agreed with him, namely, that, however theoretically absurd and anomalous the frame of our Indian Government might be sup posed to be, still if it had really promoted the happiness and welfare of those who were subject to..its dominion, it ought not to be abolished or even altered. If, however, he were able to show that it had failed in the discharge of its sacred duties, and that not through acci dent, but owing to causes which had been repeatedly pointed out by the greatest and wisest statesmen, including Mr. Fox, Mr. Burke, and Lord Grenville, then he should contend that uniform experience, as well as general reason ing, was in favour of the discontinuance of the present system. He was ready to meet the right hon. gentleman on the issue, whether the present mode of government had been practically advantageous to the natives of India. When the charter was last under the consideration of the house, the right hon. gentleman the member for Edinburgh, who proposed the bill for its renewal, insisted especially on two points—the necessity of employing the natives, and the necessity (the paramount necessity, as he termed it) of a code for India. The right hon. gentleman said—" There is one part of the bill on which, after what has passed else where, I feel myself irresistibly impelled to say a few words. I allude to that wise, that benevolent, that noble clause, which enacts that no native of our Indian empire shall, by reason of his colour, his descent, or his religion, be disabled from holding office." Now what had been the conduct of the East India Company since that language, so worthy of an enlightened statesman, was used ? Why, from that time to this, not a single native of India had obtained an office to which he was not eligible before. (Hear, hear.) Again, the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Macaulay) said no country ever stood so much in need of a code as India, and he added—and he (Mr. Phillimore) re quested the attention of the house to this statement—that there never was a country in which that need could be so easily supplied. In describing the state of the law, the right hon. gentleman said, " The whole is a matter of *hence. Even in this country we have had complaints of judge-made law, where there - is everything that can miti gate the evils of such a system ' • but judge-made law where there is absolute government and lax morality—where there is no bar and no public—is a curse and a scandal not to be endured." Now, what was the commentary on this text ? One of the most able civil servants of the Crown told them that nothing had been done, and that when ho sent remonstrances and recommendations t) the directors, the only effect was that he received a sneering answer, and was told to take Westminster-hall as a model. There was no part of the right hon. gentleman's (Sir C. Wood's) speech to which he listened with so much surprise and mortification as that in which he spoke of the operation of the law in India. Speaking of the whole subject in a slighting manner, the right honourable gentleman said no doubt there were abuses of the law in India—there were abuses of that kind in all countries, and that if our own courts were ransacked, similar abuses would be found to those which existed in India, as he had been in formed by a judge. Whoever made this last statement had grossly calumniated the administration of law in this country. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Holt Mackenzie said that just in proportion as the law had been enforced in India had the people suffered ; and he (Mr. Phillimore) believed that if any abuse of the same kind were dis covered in England, the whole country would be in a 1 flame, and Parliament would address the Crown for the I removal of the judge who had been guilty of it. Mr. Lo win said there were now on the bench at Madras persons who were not only unfit for the office which they held, but who had been guilty of acts which rendered them unfit to be trusted with the life of a flea. (Laughter.) In one ease there was a document, consisting of a side and a-half of foolscap, in which it was declared that one man was to be hanged, another to be transported, and a third to be set free " because there was not a westigo of evidence against him." (Laughter.) Such was found to be the spelling of the word. The judge had evidently not examined the do cument to which he attached his name. In another case— a case in which a man was prosecuted by a nabob in an affair of accounts—the accounts kept by the nabob's wife were admitted as evidence. Many of the cases in India were of such a nature that if they wanted anything like a parallel they must look for it in the orations of Cicero against Verres. The question was not one of refinement or comfort, it was one of existence. One great reason, he be lieved, why natives of Britain did not settle in India, was that they were unwilling to entrust their property and cha racter to the jurisdiction of the Indian courts. The remedy for this state of things was the employment of natives, in favour of which he might quote the authority of almost ... ... .... every man of great official experience in India. To say, indeed, that among one hundred million of people none were to bo found who were qualified to administer justice, was to libel Providence. Sir Thomas Munro said the in tegrity and diligence of the natives fitted them to adminis ter the law. Sir George Clerk, who was by no means un favourable to the East India Company, said that the mo rality among the higher classes of Hindoos was of a high standard, and that among the middle and lower classes it was remarkably high. Thatwas the evidence of an old servant of the company, and similar evidence had been given by individuals equally intelligent and influential, This was the oppression that made the heart sick, this the iron that was sure to enter the soul. They talked of Hin doo corruption, but could not the Hindoos retort about European corruption? (Hear, hear.) Had they not in recent days seen all the influence of a Government used to screen corruption, and had they not seen rank and station, and, what was worse intelligence, bowing down before successful speculation ? How had committees of the House of Commons been employed during the last three months ? (Hear, hear.) The right hon. gentleman, when comparing India under native rule with the present government, had gone to the period immediately preceding our invasion, when the country was torn and convulsed, and had not al luded to the time of Akbar when it was contented and happy. He might as well have gone to the days of Attila for an account of the Augustan era. Suppose the Hindoo were to refer us to Europe in the 17th century, to the times of the Regent Orleans, of Louis XV., of Catherine of Rus sia, or to the incestuous court of Berlin, or more recently to the sack of Warsaw, the partition of Poland, or the still freshly remembered horrors of the French revolution ? (Hear, hear.) Did not the house think that in such events a Hindoo might find counterparts for the worst scenes in the history of his own country. (Cheers.) The next question to which he should allude was the tenure of land, a question respecting which it was scarcely possible to exaggerate the difficulty. With respect to the land, the East India Company had assumed all the rights of the na tive proprietors, while, at the same time, evading all the duties. The settlement of Bengal in '93 was perhaps adopted from good motives, but it had been adopted in ignorance, and had ended in complete failure. It was called a permanent settlement, but such were its effects that at the present moment only one family remained that had signed the compact, all the rest having been ruined or totally destroyed. Mr. Mill condemned the settlement of '93 as having ruined both the Zemindars and the ryots, thel atter being in a state of utter poverty and degrada tion. With respect to the state of this same Bengal pre vious to our rule, he would quote the testimony of Mr. Holwell, a very old traveller, who described it as the best ordered and happiest portion of India, and the only ono that retained the best features of the old Hindoo system. At the present moment there:was the one level of uniform misery in the richest country in the world, nutter the go vernment whose power the house was now called up on t o renew. At Madras they had adopted the Ryotwa rr i e sys tem, the great defect of which was that ono collector wasit T ion he obliged to settle terms with 300,000 ryots, and th ere cou l d of fe Madras lower noryots d o e t e s p u o n f d l e i r un th ifi e n s d w e ay gral of a l ti l o a n ar t a h s i the o ai c system had also been introduced at Bombay i Elphinstone, but the authorities hs d been il spite of M r . . obliged to with draw it.

When the right hon. member had been told that the sys tem of Indian government was anomalous, he answered that or Indian empire was itself anomalous. Why, if that were so, it was the more necessary to get proper men to administer the government. (Hear.)
