Several of their Lordships recorded their dissent from several details of the measure in the most earnest and emphatic terms. A division was even taken on one of the clauses, the rejec tion of which had been proposed by the Earl of WlcE_Low, and supported, among others, bytheLord Chief-Justice, whose personal experience taught him the grievous injury that must necessarily be sustained by many Irish landlords in being com pelled to pay the tax—not on the amount which they actually receive, but on that which they ought to receive ; so that in the case of a defaulting tenant they will have not only to submit to the loss of their rent, but will have to liquidate claims that could only be justified on the suppo sition that they were in actual receipt of their rents for which they were rendered liable. This is a grievous hardship—and, what renders it the more intolerable, it is one which applies almost exclusively to Ireland and to Irish land lords, and from which their English brethren are at least comparatively free. It cer tainly appears quite sufficient to impose the burden on Ireland, for the first time, without rendering its operation even more inequitable and oppressive than in this country, where, in truth, it is quite bad enough as it is ; but it is a serious grievance to make an exceptional law far more stringent than that in force on this side of St. George's Channel, which, through the unjustifiable demands of the tax-gatherer, will complete the ruin of landlords already subjected to deep dis tress, and brought to the verge of poverty through the insolvency or dishonesty of de faulting tenants. There is no reason why the Income Tax should not be extended to Ireland why those who receive money from any source, applicable to their own purposes, should not contribute to the liquidation of the national liabilities and the maintenance of the national establishments, as well as their Eng lish brethren. But it should really be an income tax—not, as we have already stated, a charge on that which a man ought to receive, but had not received. But it may be said that there is a clause in the Bill which affords an adequate remedy for the grievance —that there is a provision to the effect that when a landlord can prove to the Commis sioners that he has paid income tax on rent which he had failed to receive, in conse quence of the bankruptcy, insolvency, or absconding of, or the removal of goods by, any tenant he should receive back so much of the duty as he paid in respect of such rent lost to him, and this is relied on by those who framed the enactment as a satisfactory answer to the objection ! Stronger evidence could not be afforded of their gross and unpardonable ignorance on Irish affairs. The provision is little better than a mockery and a delusion, one that could rarely, if ever, be made available by the aggrieved and plundered landlord ; but which is even more impolitic than it is deceptive, inasmuch as its tendency, if it could be made available, would be to act as a direct incentive to the greatest cruelty and oppression, and as the natural result to Arian outrages and bloodshed, producing eventually a state of affairs more deplorable than anything thatilhas yet been witnessed in that un happy land. The accuracy of these assertions can be easily tested. Indeed, any with Ireland, or theat all acquainted person substantiate them. ooricous that in Ire landlt Irish, is n t will be enabled to the Bankrupt or Insolventtint of ourts are seldom arrears defaulting of tenant rent. if ever resorted to, on account The arrest of the person of the is the last remedy sought by th e distrai landlord, for should he do so, he loses the chance of ing ; and he is also but too well aware of the inu tilityu- of the process, even if it could be executed without setting the country in a flame, and occa sioning the most serious evils. Were it other wise the staff of these tribunals would ......._ be materially enlarged, as ample occupation would be provided iu adjudicating ou the MOO of distressed agriculturists who had been unable or unwilling to satisfy the demands of their land lords. A comparison of the sums known to be in arrear - for rent and annually lost in the Sister Kingdom, with the amounts wiped out by the operation of the Bankrupt or Insolvent Courts, will show that the latter does not amount to one pound for every one thousand pounds of the for mer. How ridiculous, then, is it to rely upon such a provision as an adequate remedy for the evil. The relief allowed in case of an absconding tenant is equally illusory. In Ireland one of the greatest landlord grievances is, as Lord CAMPBELL justly remarked, that bad tenants "will not abscond." When they set- the proprietor of the soil and all his myrmidons at defiance, and hold possession, despite of every effort to dislodge them until they are bought out, getting not only a receipt in full (a document on which it is but an act of simple justice to say they place but little value, being perfectly indifferent as to the measures which the defrauded landlord may take to enforce payment), but also a sum in hand, to start them on their new career. If that payment and an amicable arraugement (in which case they cannot be con sidared as " absconding " tenants) be refused, they retain possession until ejected by legal process, for 'which case no provision is made by the Bill— ' the repayment cannot be made where tenants are evicted for non-payment of rent ? But supposing that the exceptional case should arise, that the landlord should, under the statute, be entitled to claim a return of the money which he had paid for duty in respect of the rent due by a party who had become a bankrupt or insolvent, or who had absconded from the premises, let us for a moment consider what steps should be taken by the claimant before he could hope to obtain restitution. We need scarcely refer to the proverbial dif ficulty of getting back money which has once found its way into the Exchequer. Any person who has endeavoured to establish his claim will not require to be reminded of the vexatious delays, the petty evasions, and paltry quibbles resorted to ; proceedings that would reflect the utmost discredit on any private person who re sorted thereto. The most stringent proof is re quired on every point, until at last the disgusted applicant finds that it would have been a saving of time, of trouble, and of expense to have abandoned the demand (unless of considerable amount) than to have subjected himself to such annoyance in its recovery. He must, in the present instance, prove to the satisfaction of the Commissioners, that the tax has been paid—that the rent, in respect of which it was unpaid, and that he had failed to receive it owing to the bankruptcy, the insolvincy, or the absconding of the tenant, and legal evidence must be brought forward to establish the points relied on (we say nothing of the difficulty of deciding what will amount to an absconding within the meaning of the statute). For all these matters a professional man must be employed at the expense of the applicant. Each separate case will require dis tinct proof, and consequently a separate bill of costs. In how many instances will it be worth the landlord's while to comply with these pre liminary demands in order to obtain relief ? There cannot be much doubt as to the answer. Are we not justified, then, in denouncing the pre tended relief as being neither more nor less than " a mockery and a delusion ?" But were it otherwise, and that the money could be obtained without difficulty, delay, or ex pense, can we conceive a more unwise or impolitic provision than that which would give the landlord a direct pecuniary interest in driving the default ing tenant to extremities, in compelling him either to abandon the country, or to cast himself upon the tender mercies of the Insolvent Court, or the Bankrupt Court, after submitting in the first in stance to incarceration for several weeks. If the provision should not be altogether inoperative, it will create the most serious disturbances, and kindle a flame which it will be difficult indeed to allay. Those who prepared and who sanctioned the iniquitous measure are placed in this dilemma —either the provision is a gross deception, or it is one of the most mischievous and impolitic enact ments that can be conceived. We leave the Irish members who supported the Budget, and thus carried the bill, to determine on which of these horns they will be impaled. Not fewer than seven Members have fallen before 'le Election Committees since our last advertence ,0 their proceedings. Sligo has lost Mr. TOWNELEY ; Clare County, Messrs. FITZGERALD and O'BRIEN ; Peterborough, Mr. WHALLEY; Durham, Lord ADOL PHUS VANE ; and Liverpool, Mr. FORBES M.ACKEN ZIE and Mr. TURNER. On this side the water the de linquencies were quite of a normal character; Mr. WHALLEY was found guilty of treating, though we certainly think that law was strained to the uttermost against him ; his offence was paying for the wine at a dinner after the election, and he deems it so venial, that he solicits the electors to vindicate their liberty by re-electing him. Lord A. VANE had, no doubt, been guilty, by his agents, of bribing one if not two voters. J. N. ATKINSON, a wag or a rogue, he did not tell the Committee which, first bagged 5/. from one agent, whom he saw in a bed-room ; the agent threw the money on the bed, telling him he neither lent nor gave him it." Going out he meets another agent, from whom he tries to get 151. He is content, however, with a second Si. ; two agents then escort him to the poll, whom, however, he gives the slip, votes for FENWICK, and tees the whole tale to FEN WICK'S Committee. Our readers will remember a similar trick at Clitheroe. Such are the risks of bribery. The Liverpool bribery was of a peculiar character, consisting in very numerous payments to workmen of 4s. or ss. each, ostensibly as com pensation for losing their day's work, which, how ever, they had no occasion to lose. There was treat* also. The bane of this large constituency, amounting in 1852 to 17,433, is, that 2,225 of the voters are old freemen. We are inclined, however, to think that the unseated candidates found the "no Popery" feeling, which is very strong in Liverpool, a more effectual aid than bribery and treating. At Taunton, Sir JOHN RAMSDEN was lucky, since bribery, though proved, was " not proved to have been committed with his knowledge or that of his agents." We cordially wish the young Member succels in his political course, the more so as he has declined to use his immense influence in Huddersfield, which is nearly all his own property, and throws himself on a borough where his political principles are his only recommendation. On the other side the Irish Channel the Com mittees have at last got fairly into the midst of priests, shillelaghs, and stones—of spiritual curses and material violence. Both in the Clare and Sligo elections they have reported the corrupt and unbecoming influences exercised by the priests ; in the latter case, in general terms, against " the Roman Catholic priests ;" but in the former, speci fying by name Fathers CLIME and BURKE, and exempting the rest ; pronouncing against these two, however, the heavy charge ---a charge pain fully sustained by the evidence—that "they excited the people to take part in the Six-mile-bridge riot ;" and that Father BURKE " himself took ____ _........ part in the riot." There has been, of course, violence enough alleged, and proved too, both at these and other Irish elections. It was thoroughly established that Colonel VANDELEUR'S supporters voted at the peril of their lives—a peril sufficient in several cases to deter them from voting at all ; that they were seized, locked up, liberated and escorted by the military, and even then were not safe ; and that all this was duo to priestly zeal and fury. The mob were merely the ignorant tools of the priests. One of lese tools, named MACNAMARA, who every n i g ht • - - reported his proceedings to "the Father," de scribes his canvassing practice literally thus—" You should first get hold of your man (it really re minds us of Mrs. GLASSE'S celebrated recipe), and ask him for his vote. In case of refusal, you must ply him with drink, and then ask him again. Should he still remain contumacious, it only remained for you, with the assistance of your mob, to lock him IT, and so prevent him voting at all. He conducted Ills canvass on th ese approved principles, and was sorry to have been obliged mom than 91100 to have j • recourse to the last alternative." We may be • allowed to doubt whether the sorrow was due to any remonstrances, or penances enjoined by " the Father," to whom he nightly reported progress, when we are compelled to read indubitable proof of " the Fathers" resorting to grosser violence, if possible, themselves. Father BURKE literally whooped on the mob at Six-mile-bridge, led them into conflict with the soldiers, joined himself in pulling voters out of the cars which the soldiers escorted, and endeavoured to wrest the musket of the soldier who struggled to prevent his doing so, from him, telling him "he neither cared for him nor his steel, though he did wear the QUEEN'S cloth." We are by no means sure that the for bearing soldier was not guilty of culpable derelic tion of duty in not making effective, if not mortal, use of the weapons confided to him. When this soldier, JOHN CROUCH, had just seen a comrade, MARSHALL, knocked down with a stone, and a Catholic priest was endeavouring to disarm him, one should think no further orders were necessary to men who had loaded muskets placed in their hands to protect unarmed voters. Unhappily the deluded mob were the victims, and the guilty au thors of the riot escape both the bullet and the gallows. Not less virulent were the holy Fathers at Sligo, although the violence happily was not so fatal. A leash of Priests, Priest PHILLIPS, Priest QUIN, and Priest WHITE hunted Mr. SOMERS out of a borough, in which he evidently enjoyed no small degree of the sincere attachment of the people. Father PHILLIPS made ample use of the locking-up process, which MACNAMARA, at Clare, described as the Bernier ressort of the canvasser. He had a treating-house.in Mass-lane, where he cooped im practicable voters till after the election. The fare was not so bad. " They had breakfasts, dinners, and drink ad libitum,. As many as thirty sat down at a time. The beef, ham, and other edibles were very good, and the excellence of the liquor evidenced by the tendency of the 'free and independent' to getting under the table." So testified MICHAEL SOMERS. Mr. SoiwEns, the candidate, however, backed by other witnesses, deposed to the most disgraceful spiritual terrorism, and to that chiefly he attributed the loss of his election. Mr. SOMERS himself attended the parish chapel on the Sunday. Priest PHILLIPS preached. After depicting the horrors of the Stockport riots in the strongest language, he explicitly attributed them to the Parliamentary conduct .of such men as Mr. SOMERS, and went on to denounce him (with every eye fixed on Mr. S.) "as a traitor to his religion and his country ; any man who sup ported him voted for He'l and the Devil ; every one who supr 3r ted Mr. TOWNELEY voted for GOD and Heaven." Mr. SOMERS' friends actually thought it hazardous for him to leave the chapel unattended ! Of course the excitement became both great and dangerous ; Mr. SOMERS' voters could not poll with safety to their persons ; and the same Priest, PHILLIPS, who had threatened such spiritual terrors, was amongst the foremost in collaring and otherwise metreating those who were going up to vote for Mr. SOMERS ! Thong] a comparatively trivial circumstance, at first mention, yet to us it reveals a world of priestly impudence and tyranny, that Priest O'GARRA had to be removed by the Chairman of the Com mittee " for standing right in the eye of the wit nesses, and by frowns and gesticulations prevent ing them giving evidence." What would a man be capable of in an Irish cabin who could thus exhibit his vulgar tyranny before a Committee of the British House of Commons? We can assure our respectable Catholic friends that unless they can thoroughly put down all such utterly unbecoming conduct as this, Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S views of the relation of the Papal Hierar chy to constitutional freedom and liberty of discus sion, will spread very extensively before another election, and very seriously aced the character of another Parliament. It will not do to retort on him the hostility of all hierarchies, Protestant or Catholic, to liberal measures and to free inquiry. All Liberals are constrained to acknowledge that. One thing, however, they also know—that if the pest tells of some notoriously political Protestant clergymen, the present is not disgraced by them. Protestant ministers of every denomination have yielded to the civilisation and better feeling of the times. A violent hustings-parson is now as rare as a fox-hunting parson. Of course, the clergy have, as educated Englishmen, their strong po litical preferences, but they know how to hold them as becomes gentlemen and Minis, tern ; the Catholic clergy alone appear inca pable of civilisation. We are not even sure ,vhether we have not been rather hard on poor Mr. SPOONER ; for if the five priests who figured before the Clara and Sligo Committees are at all •••• •• • VA.. a sample of the results of Maynooth training, it really would behove the Legislature to inquire whether it ought to pay 30,0001. a year to train up intimidators of voters, pulpit denouncers of re spectable candidates, leaders of election riots, and men, who can not only confront her MAJESTY'S muskets and bayonets, but endeavour to wrest them from her soldiers. The alumni of our Protestant Universities, whether lay or clerical, do not thus repay the favours they receive from the State. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 29, 18 53 MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 5,000 bales, all to the trade. The market was firm though tame. The sales comprised 4,000 American, 150 Pernam and Maranham, at 61d. to 62d.; 400 Egyptian, at qd. to 11d.; and 500 Surat, at 31d. to sd. per lb. Railway Shares were dull. A few letters and papers have come to hand by the sailing ships that have dropped in from Australia. The latest we have seen are to the middle of March--two ships announced this morn ing, namely, the Abel Gower and the Himalaya, having left last February. The general production at the digging seems to be as large as formerly, and the new districts have in some instances pro duced such an ample return as to cause an attraction from the older places. Ballarat maintains its reputation, however, although monster nuggets were less frequently met with. Canadian Gully was giving a good return, as well as other localities, the names of which are not familiar to English readers. Business had been rather dull in gold, which was up to 765. 6d. and 765. 9d. per ounce. This, with 41d. per ounce for freight to London and the insurance charges, must destroy all margin of profit, and there are parties who draw the conclusion that the gold must be falling off. Certainly, the supply may have diminished for a time, but one cause of the gold rising in value would be the influx of sovereigns from England, and it will be interesting to learn how the banks can expect to make their former profits if they no longer can purchase gold to advantage. Some of the new establishments will find out that they have come into the field too late in the day, and that they must no longer expect to accumulate enor mous dividends at the expense of the Colonies. At the meeting of the South Australian Land Proprietors now being held, the directors have made a highly satisfactory report, and declared a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent, premium. The following are extracts : " The directors have the satisfaction to state, that notwithstanding the excitement produced in the Colony during the past year by the gold discoveries in the pro vince of Victoria, and the consequent unsettled state of the population, the interests of the company have not been injuriously affected. " The gold field discovered within the colony of Echunga, though it has yielded a fair return to many of the persevering diggers, has not proved so productive as was at first anticipated. The actual quantity obtained had not been ascertained ; but it was the opinion of many, that the diggers generally had been more success ful than they chose to admit, and that gold had been found to some extent in other districts. " With respect to the company's land, an examina tion has been made of the sections on the western branch of the Onkaparinga river, and particles of gold had been found in every hole dug; it was not however considered sufficient to justify a continuance of the search in that locality. The party were engaged in ex ploring other districts of your property, and a report of a late date may be shortly expected. "The Inventories of the whole of the Company's property have been carefully revised by the colonial manager and the local Board of Advice up to the 30th October last, and, with a few trifling exceptions, the lands have been retained at the same valuation as that of the preceding year. According to these documents, the total value of the property at the above date amounted to 327,2251. ss. 11d., a sum which the Direc tors believe is much under its ac:;ual value. " The sales of land have been limited almost entirely to tenants exercising their right of pre emption. They consist of 246 acres of the coun try lands, two small portions of acres of the town lands, and two allotment at the port, realizing toge ther the sum of 2,363/. 10s. 6d. This amount, after deducting 4201., the advance obtained on the valua tion of 1851, has been re-:nested, with some addition, in the purchase of 3,003 acres of good agricultural land at a trifle above the upset price of 20s. per. acre. These lands are situated on the rivers Torrens and Onkapa ringa, in the districts of Port Elliot and the Goolwa, and on the overland route established to Mount Alex ander gold diggings. The directors consider these pur chases have been made on most favorable terms ; the average price given at the land sales in January last having been 365. 3d. per acre for country sections of second-rate quality. "Of the country lands, comprising 47, 3851 acres, nearly all of first-rate agricultural quality, there are 39,645 acres leased for terms of 7, 14, and 21 years, at rents varying from ss. to 10s. per acre • 33,841 acr es substantially fenced ; 14,891 acre s are under crop ; and 1,124 acres fallow. On seventy of the farms there are good stone and brick dwelling houses, with wooden farm buildings. " The Port property consists of five sections, contain ing 501 acres of land adjoining th e water. About 22 acres of this property are leased and occupied. On a part of section A are erected the company's wharves, having a water frontage of upwards of 1,000 feet, with b l r 4 f iek ee de w t are p h t o h fusoeswuastee used for for alongside al bonded d; and also othertw o goo substantialgoods, be sides various other buildings let for offices, stores, and dwelling-houses. On another part of this property your patent slip is erected, on which vessels of upwards of 1,000 tons burthen have been repaired. " The ore and copper received from Adelaide and sold in this country during the past year, leaves a balance of 7651. 103. 4d. in favour of the mine. " The directors hava the pleasure to announce that her Majesty's Government have acceded to the petition of the company for a charter of incorporation, as no ticed in the supplementary report presented to you in December last. A draft of the charter is now before the law officers of the Crown, and there is no d ou bt will shortly be complet e d. T o be in a position to obtain the charter, it was necessary to call up the instalments remaining unpaid on a portion of the new share; issued in 1851 ; and the directors are enabled to state that the holders of those shares have most promptly responded to the call. "A portion only of the capital authorized to be raised at that time having been called for, the directors pro pose to avail themselves of the authority then granted, to make a further issue of a limited number of shares, in order to pay off the debenture debt falling due in the present year ; this will now be effected on most ad vantageous terms to the company. Due notice will be given to the proprietors of the terms on which these shares will be issued. "To supply the vacancies created in the direction since the last annual general meeting, by the death of J. Ruddell Todd, Esq., and the retirement of Richard Foster, Esq., the board appointed, ad interim ' Robert Chalmers, sq., of Thurloe-squ are , Brompton, and George Gay, Esq., of Bedwell-park, Herts, both of whom now offer themselves for election to the proprietors." The rates for Bills of Exchange upon the prin cipal continental cities were rather lower yesterday afternoon, except Trieste, which were 11 3 to 6 for 90 days' paper. Paris was 25 22A- to 25 ; Amster dam, 11 184- to / ; and Hamburgh, 13 7 to There has not been much doing in English Stocks this morning, and prices continue very dull ; the amount of dealing recently has been so limited that the jobbers and brokers have good cause of com plaint. The intelligence just received that the entry of the Russians into the Danubian pro vinces would not be considered a cases belli, has been favourably construed in some respects, though Stock Exchange appreciation isnot always a fair test. Consols have been 981 to being lower. The New 34- per Cents. are 1011 /, and the 3 per Cents. 99k 1. -Bank Stock is 2214, being heavy. Exche quer Bills aro maintained at ss. premium.

Railway Shares have not been in much request, and the settlement of the account is occupying chief attention. Prices are without material varia tion. _ Gold Mine Shares are dull and rather lower. In the Land Companies' Shares there is scarcely anything doing. Agricultural are 1/. higher, and Netherlands are firmer. _ . _ In Joint Stock Banks business has been quite suspended.

BILL. On the motion that this bill be considered with a view to its being read a third time, Mr. S. HERBERT wished that the motion should be postponed for a few days. Sir J. Y. BULLER objected to any postponement, as the third reading had already been delayed once. Mr. COLLIER, said the postponement of this bill would have the effect of throwing it out altogether. Mr. SOTHERON hoped the request for a postpone ment would not be pressed. Mr. S. HERBERT deferred to the feeling of the house, and withdrew his opposition. Mr. LOCKE gave it as his opinion that sooner or later the narrow gauge would have to be extended to the west as far as Plymouth, and it would be a national calamity to allow a small measure like this to interfere with the accomplishment of that object. After a few words from Mr. L. HEYWORTH, the bill was ordered to be read a third time. WEXFORD JUNCTION RAILWAY. Mr. GROGAN moved that the order that the report on the Weford Junction Railway Bill do lie on the table be read and discharged.

The house then divided, when there appeared— For the motion 49 Against it Majority against it The motion Wan accordingly negatived.

Mr. WALPOLE gave notice that, on Tuesday next, he should move for leave to bring in a bill to amend the law relating to bribery and treating at elections. WEST INDIA LOAN. In reply to 1V Cr TOLLEMACHE, Mr. WILSON said the attention of the Treasury had recently been directed to the subject of the West India Loan. Xt would be remembered that in 1843, a hurricane occurre d in the West Indies, which caused a great destruction of property in Antigua, Monserrat, and Nevis, and the British Government afterwards agreed to adva nc e to those three Islands the sum of 150,0001., upon their undertaking to pay 4 per cent. interest on the to an, and to repay the capital by instal ments of 10 per cent. Antigua had paid about 9,0001. of her share of - die debt, and another instalment would become due in A ugust next, but the other two had not paid anything Ina the interest. An application had recently been 11 ta&e to the Government to reduce the rate of interest, and - ate Treasury having had the matter under its consideration, it had come to the following determina tion, viz., to re co mmend the Government to modify the terms of the loan in this manner :—Antigua should b 3 required to pay. zip the instalment due in August next, and then the b: thyme should be pad by yearly instal ments of 5 instead of 10 per cent., while the interest should be reduc 3ed :rom 4 to 3,1 per cent., and I,per cent. charged by the local government for managing the loan entirely remitted. The same terms would be open to the other two i is/ands when they should have placed themselves in Vie same position as Antigua with regard to the payment of the overdue instalments ; but a con dition would be added to the effect that, in the event of any of the islai ids failing to keep the new terms, the Government sh euld be at liberty to revert to the old contract.
