WHITSUNTIDE. time when Spring and Summer " comes out" in good earnest —trips, excursions, promenades. and bust ness enliven every circle in society—every one purchases New Dress and is anxious to secure the Newest Fabrics associated with th most Fashionable and Comfortable Style.. Every youth in tht Empire expects a New Snit of Attire, nor are they indifferent abou' the appearrnce their dress will impart. The advantages desired by families are superior quality, neatness, fashion, and economy. All these are combined in the resplendent Stock of Clothing, Hats, Caps, Hosiery, &c, &c., prepared by E MosEs and Sofa for Whitsuntide. Specification of the principal fea tures of their Spring ant Summer Clothing is impossible. Inspectlot will convey an impression of the novelty, elegance, and cheapness o the Good•, and experience will prove the superior quality of the ma• terials and workmanship. The unparalleled position E. MOSES and SON have maintained for many years renders assertions unnecessary and it is only requisite to observe, that for Whitsuntide they ar• magnificently prepared with the cheapest and the best Clothing cr every fashionable description. Juvenile Attire offered by E. MOSES and Sort is more distinguished for elegance, style, fashion, ease, novelty, and cheapness, than any which others can present; it manifests the perfection of their skill in the selection of materials, and the triumphs of talent in the Cut and Make of every Garment. Spring and Summer Coats, Vests, Trousers, Taletots, &c., &c., in cluding various New Styles, which can only be obtained at tht Establishments of E. MOSES and SoN.

Shipsailing information, and hill Lists of Outfits for Ladies ant Gent!emen, may be had on application, or post free to any part or the kingdom. CAUTION. —E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishmant," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have - - No CONNEXION WITH ANT OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155, 156, and 157, Minories, 83, 84,85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY.) The Royal assent was given by commission to the fol lowing bills :—Tho Exchequer Bills ; The Crystal Palace Company ; 4he Lowestoft Water, Gas, and Market ; the Dublin and Belfast Railway Company; and the Great Yarmouth Waterworks. The Lords Commissioners were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Canning, and Lord Stanley of Alderley. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the wool sack at five o'clock. The Earl of CARLISLE presented a petition from medical practitioners in favour of legislation with regard to the medical profession. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Northumberland in favour of extending the jurisdiction of County Courts ; also a petition from Barnstaple to the same effect ; also a similar petition from Yorkshire ; also a petition from Scotland praying for the amend ment of the Sheriff's Courts. Lord CLANRICARDE presented a petition from ' Galway Union against the extension of the income tax to Ireland. He would take that opportunity of asking whether it was intended that clergymen of all per suasions in Ireland should be treated different to any other class of the community with regard to levying the income tax in that country ? The Earl of ABERDEEN hoped the noble lord would not think him guilty of any discourtesy if he ab stained from answering the question. As the matter would be fully explained when the bill was introduced into the other house, any premature discussion at pre sent on the subject would be attended with great incon venience. Lord CAMPELL said that having had the misfortune of being an Irish landlord against his will, he felt an in terest in this subject, and he must say that though he thought it highly just and equitable that the income tax should be extended to Ireland, it should only be con fined to the rent actually received. (Hear, hear.) If it only went to that extent frwould not touch him. (Laughter.) BREACH OF PRIVILEGE. The Earl of DERBY wished to call the attention of their lordships to what he might be justified in con sidering a breach of the privileges of their lord ships' house—not so much on his own account, as for the purpose of doing justice to another gentle man, with regard to whom the most unfounded misre presentations had been made in one of this evening's papers. Their lordships were aware that he had attended that day a committee of the House of Commons for the purpose of being examined with regard to certain proceedings before that committee ; and a ques tion was there put to him to which he gave a very distinct and decided answer, which he found was reported with perfect correctness and almost verbatim in The Sun of this evening, but was re ported in the Globe not only with great inaccuracy, but in a way to convey an entirely opposite meaning, and conveying an impression most unfavourable to the gen tleman to whom he bad referred. If this question had merely touched himself alone, he should not have thought it consistent with his duty to call their lordships' attention to it ; but when he was represented to have given a most unfavourable opinion with regard to the conduct and personal honour of a gentleman whose conduct was under examination, and with regard to whom he expressed a precisely opposite opinion, he thought it was due to that gentleman to bring this mat ter before their lordships' notice in the most public and authentic manner, and to compare that which he did not state with that which he had stated. The question was put to him whether he was aware of a statement which had been made before that committee, that Mr. Stafford 'iad said that he (Lord Derby) had put great pressure upon him with regard to the disposal of the patronage of the Admiralty in dockyards. His reply was, that he should be very much surprised to hear that Mr. Stafford had made that statement, because he had the highest opinion of his honour and veracity, and he felt convinced that Mr. Stafford had not made such a statement as he must have known that it was utterly inconsistent with the fact, and had not the slightest foundation. In making that state ment he had expressed what he felt—that he had perfect confidence in Mr. Stafford's veracity, and he should hear with great surprise that Mr. Stafford had ever made such a statement. He could not bring him self to believe that that statement had ever been made by Mr. Stafford. That was given in The Sun of this evening with perfect accuracy, and he would now read the answer as it appeared in the Globe; and he would only say, that as he was but asked four or five questions in the committee, and as the answers were clear and distinct, and as there was perfect silence in the committee, and as the answers were taken down in short-hand, he thought a journalist who, under those circumstances, inserted false statements was perfectly inexcusable. (Hear, hear.) In the Globe he was represented as having said, " I have heard with regret some statements made by Mr. Stafford, because I had a very high opinion of Mr. Stafford and his honour, and Mr. Stafford must have known at the time he made those statements, that they were entirely inconsistent with the practice of the Admiralty and the rules of the service." Thus it was represented he had heard Ar. Stafford's statement with regret, because he (Mr. Stafford) must have known they were contrary to the fact, and because previously he had a very high opinion of Mr. Stafford's personal honour. He was quite sure their lordship's would consider he would have abandoned his duty if he had not called their attention to this re port, for the purpose of giving to it the most immediate and emphatic contradiction. (Loud cheers.) After some conversation this bill was read a second ,ime. ------- The Earl of ALBEMARLE presented a petition from the citizens of Manchester, praying that the future Government of India in this country should consist of a minister and a council appointed by the Crown, and directly responsible to Parliament. COMMON LODGING-HOUSES BILL. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY moved the second reading of this bill. After a few words from several noble lords, the bill was read a second time. THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA. The Earl of A.LBEMARLE presented a petition from the citizens of Manchester, signed by the mayor on be half of the meeting at which the petition was agreed to, praying that the future government of India should con sist of a Minister and Council appointed by the Crown, and which should be directly responsible to the Imperial Parliament. The noble earl, in supporting the prayer of the petition, said that the document proceeded from a locality which, London not excepted, had a more vital interest than any other part of her Majesty's dominions in the material well-being of the people of India. The petitioners, while praying for a reform in the home government of India, complained that the existing go vernment had neither developed the resources of the country, nor provided for the wishes of the people. He would not venture to anticipate the scheme of govern. ment which it was the intention of her Majesty's Govern ment to submit to Parliament ; but it was certain that no scheme of government would meet with the approval of the public which was not responsible, expeditious, economical, and effective. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH wished to say a few words in reference to this petition, which was one of very great importance, coming as it did from so influen tial a community. He welcomed the noble earl as another recruit in the service of Indian legislation. The statements in the petition were additional and striking indications of the change which was taking place in the public mind with respect to the future government of India. The conclusions to which the petitioners had come were always his conclusions, as he had stated them before the committee which sat up stairs, namely, that it was advisable altogether to disconnect the East India Company from the Governor of India, and to carry on the government on the sole authority of the Crown, by means of a president and council nominated by the Crown. He did not, however, venture at that time to state the whole extent of his views on this question ; and it was gratifying to him now to find those views stated in their fullest extent by the citizens of Man chester, the most populous city in the kingdom next to metropolis. Lord WHARNCLIFFE believed that her Majesty's Government had nothing to do but to take care that the bills they proposed for the government of India should be such as would be effectual for its purpose. (Hear.) He saw no reason for supposing that, in case the Go vernment should think it their duty to introduce a bill this session, it should therefore be considered they were legislating either ignorantly or precipitately. (Hear, hear.) suppose that one of those dispatches 'contained the act of the Colonial Legislature, of which the draft bill had reached this country. Of course he was unable to say so positively, but as soon as the dispatch was received, if it did contain the act, he would lay it on the table of the house, for the information of the noble lord. TRANSPORTATION FROM IRELAND. In answer to the Earl of GLENGALL, The Duke of NEWCASTLE said, although there wr.s some accumulation of convicts in England, in conse quence of the order not to send more convicts to Van Diemen's Land ; yet, as' regarded Ireland, two vessels containing convicts had been sent, not to Van Diemen's Land, but to Western Australia, and as large a number had been sent as before. h NAVIGATION RETURNS. Lord,BTANLEY of ALDERLEY, in reference to some returns moved for a few nights ago by the Earl of Ellenborough, said that a great number , of sailors had gone out to Australia at wages of not more than a shil ling a month. It might be satisfactory to their lordships to know that the number.of vessels trading in coals be tween the Tyne and London, so far from" having dimin ished, had increased. There was also a large increase in the number of steamers, and with regard to the sailing vessels he found that a great many had been employed 'on long voyages because more profitable; and had left the short voyage trade to vessels of other nations It was not in his power to give any information to the noble lord with regard to the number of ships and sailors that went to Australia and returned therefrom. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH saicl.he had not the least doubt of the improvement of the foI-eign trade, but what he looked at was the falling off 4 the navigation for the home trade. CHIMNEY SWEEPERS REGULATION BILL. This bill went through committee. CATHEDRAL APPOINTMENTS BILL. This bill was read a third time adiassed, after a statement by Viscount CANNING that Goiernment could not agree to some amendments which had been proposed by the Archbishop of Canterbury ; and ser an amend ment moved by the' Bishop of OxFORD,'-imposing certain restrictioni*On'thii appropriation of . chapter property, bad been agreed to. COPIES OF SPECIFICATIONS REPEAL BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. LAW OF EVIDENCE AND PROCEDURE BILL. This bill went through committee, and was ordered to be reported after the recess. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. On the motion of the Earl of ABERDEEN, it was agreed that the house, at its rising, should adjourn until Monday, the 23d inst. Some bills on the table were then advanced a stage, and their lordships adjourned shortly after 8 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS-(YESTERDAY. ) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time :—Darenth Valley Railway, Monkland Railway, Norwich and Spalding Railway, Portadown and Dungannon Railway, Allendale Road ; Ballymena, Ballymoney, Coleraine, and Portrush Railway (No. 2); Edinburgh Waterworks ; Gorbals Gravitation Water (No. 2) ; Limerick Corpora tion ; Londonderry, Coleraine, and Belfast Junction Railway ; Peebles Railway ; and Waveney Valley Railway. Rooker's Disabilities Removal Bill was read a second time. ROYAL ASSENT. Mr. Pulman, the Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod, appeared at the table of the house, to desire the attend ance of this house to hear the Royal assent given to cer tain bills, for a list of which - see Lords' report. STAINES, WOKINGHAM, AND WOKING RAILWAY BILL. On the return of the Speaker, the third reading of this bill having been moved, Mr. JAMES MACGREGOR moved that this bill be recommitted, on the ground that the committee before whom it had been discussed had not allowed the South- Eastern Railway Company, as landowners, to be heard by counsel against the preamble of the bill. He con tended that the South-Eastern Company had a locus standi, and the committee had decided wrongfully. Mr. CHRISTOPHER defended the course taken by the committee. He objected to recommitting the bill, because everything that could be said by the South- Eastern Company had been already said, and that at very great length. After a few words from Mr. EVELYN, the motion was withdrawn, and the bill was read a third time. , Fisher's Divorce Bill was read a first time. PETITIONS. Mr. CAYLEY presented a petition from Harrow gate, in the West Riding, praying the house to interfere in the case of Edward iVlurray. Mr. TURNER presented a petition from the magi strates of Liverpool in favour of an amendment of the law relative to juvenile and destitute criminals. Lord GODERICH presented a petition from Bradford, against the opening of the Crystal Palace on Sundays. Mr. L. KING presented a petition from Boston, in favour of the Mr; W. PATTEN presented a petieffin from Preston, praying for the abolition of the advertisement duty. Mr. T. DUNCONIBE presented petitions in favour of the opening of the Crystal Palace on Sundays. A number of petitions were presented in favour of the Parliamentary enfranchisement of the London Uni versity. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. Lord PALMERSTON moved that the house at its rising adjourn until Thursday next. COURSE OF PUBLIC BUSINESS. Mr. DISRAELI—Perhaps the noble lord will inform us what is to be the course of public business next week ? It would be very convenient to know what business is to be taken on Thursday and Friday. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied, that must, of course, in some degree, depend on the pro gress made to-night. The house will understsnd that the great object of the Government is to put forward the financial business, of course allowing full time for the consideration of these matters, but not permitting others to interfere with them. Among the financial business, that which it is most important to get forward is the in come tax, up to the point of passing the bill through committee. What I propose is, to report the resolution to which the committee of ways and means came with regard to the income tax immediately. A learned gen tleman has given notice of a motion in reference to the exemption of income below a certain amount ; but I have received an intimation from him that he intends to postpone making that until we are in committee upon the bill. That being so, it is perfectly practicable for me to bring in the bill this evening, and to print and circulate it to-morrow. Under these circumstances, I should hope the house will take the second reading on Thursday next week ; if not, upon Friday, so as to get it into committee at the earliest possible period, and I trust it will go through committee without delay. I have spoken so far under the expectation that the legacy duty resolution will be proceeded with immediately after the report of the income tax has been made, which I hope will be to-night. After that, and probably between the present time and going into committee on the Income Tax Bill, the only business connected with finance likely to lead to discussion is the second reading of the Spirits Bill. Mr. DISRAELI thought it would be impossible to take both bills on the same night ; but there was another matter of importance which the noble lord the member for the city of London had promised should be an nounced before the recess, namely the day on which it was proposed to state the views of the Government with regard to the future administration of the affairs of India, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said then he would take the Spirits Duties Bill next Thurs day, and the Income Tax Bill on the following night, but only on the (understanding that the bill should be committed on the following Monday. Mr. DISRAELI saw no objection to taking the In come Tax Bill on Friday, but it would be much better to postpone it, that was the second reading, until Mon day week. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could not accede to this proposal. Mr. MILDER GIBSON said his County Rates D. -.. • • • _ stood on the paper for Thursday next, but under the rule which ;had been recently passed, Government claimed the right of giving their orders the precedence. Now, this was contrary to the standing orders which said orders of the day should be taken as they stood on the paper, and he wished, therefore, to know from the Speaker whet her the Government were entitled to this privilege ? The SPEA: KIER decided that they were according to the practice of :the house. SPIR LT DUTIES --ISLE OF MAN. In reply to a. question from Sir R. H. INGLIS, Mr. WILSO:N stated that the papers relative to the change in the C ustoms duties of the Isle of Man would be laid before ti te country as soon as possible. THE EAST INDIA CHARTER. Mr. DISRAJ Z.LI said he had received no answer yet to his question. relative to India. Lord PALT iIERSTON could only state, in the ab sence of the nc ,ble lord the member for the city of Lon don, that in th .e present state of public business no day could be fixed for the purpose alluded to. Mr. HUME suggested that the question had better be postponed v .ntil a future session. ED U CATION. Mr. CORD] LiN said the noble lord the member for the city of London . promised to state before the house broke up for the holi Ezys, the day upon which he would take the discussion ru the Education Bill. Could any mem ber of the Go vvrnment state now for the noble lord when the subje would be brought on ? Lord PALM IBSTON replied in the negative, but ample notice woo ld be given of the day after the recess. STAMPS ON TRANSFERS OF LAND. Mr. E. EGE] ;TON wished to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer wl tether he would be prepared to direct the Board of St: imps to make such arrangements as would afford Jillek public information of that portion of the stamp dui ies in any year derived exclusively from the transfer o f lzaded. property. The CHAT ICELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was not able to supply •Ahe ixtformation. ANTIGUA. Mr. NEWDEGATE wished to ask. the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it was the intention of her Ma jesty's Government to require from the proprietors of estates in Antigua the full amount of five per cent. interest upon the capital advanced to them by the Government. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was intended to charge 4 instead of 5 per cent., but there would be no extension of the time fur repayment. THE CAPE. Sir J. PAKINGTON wished to ask the Under Secre- tary of State for the Colonies whether he intends shortly to lay upon the table further papers on the affairs of the Cape - of Good Hope ; and if so, whether they will contain full information as to the views and intentions of her Majesty's Government with respect to the Orange River Sovereignty and the eastern boundary of that colony. Mr. F. PEEL said it was intended to lay a series of papers upon the table in continuation of those which had already been published. DR. REID. Mr. COWAN asked the Chief Commissioner of Works whether an arbitration has been offered to Dr. Reid, on the part of the Government, in reference to the course pursued towards him at the houses of Parliament ; and if so, who were the arbiters and their umpire. If it be true that any decision has been given in Dr. Reid's favour, and if what the decision had been. Whether, in the event of any such decision having been given, it was founded on legal considerations,. or solely on the merits of the ease. Whether the Chief Cominissioner will agree to the production of all papers and documents connected with the appointment of any such arbitration, including the notes of any shorthand writer who may have attended its proceedings. Sir W. MOLESWORTH, in reply to the first queg tion, said that Dr. Reid had been removed from his office by the late Government, and in consequence of that removal he had claimed compensation ; that, an arbitra tion had been agreed upon, and arbitrators appointed. In reply to the second question he had to state that Dr. Reid claimed 10,250/., and that the arbitrators 'bad awarded him 3,2501. The third question could only be answered by the arbitrators, but in all probability they would not answer it, and in his opinion they ought not to answer it. I - Ie presumed they had made their award in concurrence with the submission made to them. In answer to the fourth question, he had no objection to the production of the submission, and also of the award, but objected to the printing of the shorthand writer's notes, which extended over 6,000 folios. (Laughter.) BURGHS (SCOTLAND) BILL. Ott the motion of Lord PANMURE, the bill was read a third time and passed. EMIGRATION TO NEW SOUTH WALES. The Earl of GLENGALL asked the Duke of New castle whether the bill to regulate the indenting of as sisted immigrants in the United Kingdom and elsewhere, and their employment in the colony for a certain time after their arrival, mentioned in the dispatch of Governor Fitzroy, dated Sidney, Oct. 19, 1852, has passed the Legislature of New South Wales, and if so, whether it has received the royal assent ? The Duke of NEWCASTLE said the dispatch, dated Oct. 19, 1852, inclosed the draft of a bill which was re ceived in this country on the 22d of Jan. He had since received a dispatch from the Governor of New South Wales, dated as lately as the 6th of January, from which he found that there were five dispatches between the 19th of October and the 6th of January, none of which had yet been received. He had every reason to SUMMARY JURISDICTION. Sir DE L. EVANS asked the Under-Secretary for the Home Department, whether there will be any objec tion to modify the proposed enactment, for giving sum mary jurisdiction without appeal to a police commis sioner, or in fact, to any constable of the police force, respecting omnibus proprietors, horses, and carriages ? Mr. FITZROY must decline to discuss or answer this question until the second reading came before the house. ASSESSED TAXES EXEMPTIONS. Sir F. KELLY wished to know if it was intended to make any change in the present exemption from duties of horses engaged in husbandry ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied in the negative. COFFEE AND CHICORY. In reply to a question by Lord CLAUD HAMILTON, Mr. WILSON said he would endeavour to give as ex plicit an answer as possible, because it involved the in terests of a very large class of the people of this country. The noble lord had called the attention of the house a short time ago to the frauds committed to a large extent by parties intermingling the words " chicory and coffee" with other printing so that, although the letter of the law was complied with, the spirit of the .law was entirely broken, and frauds to a large extent were perpetrated. The notice of the Board of Inland Revenue had been called to the fact, and a great number of convictions had taken place. The Inland Revenue Board had adopted another plan, which they thought would be sufficient for the purpose, and effectually prevent anything . like fraud for the future. The Government had issued a circular, requiring that on one side of every package should be inscribed legibly the words " This is sold as a mixture of coffee and chicory ;" and that a similar inscription should be placed on the outside of each ea/mister. THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA. _ _ _ Mr. BLACKETT inquired of the President of the Board of Control, when it was likely the evidence of the India committee would be printed. Sir C. WOOD said the whole of the evidence which had as yet been taken before the committee, had already been reported, and he hoped it would be printed and in the hands of members immediately after the recess. Mr. BAILLIE asked when the Government intended to bring forward their bill respecting the future Govern ment of India l Sir C. WOOD said that question had already been answered that evening. Until the financial measures now before the house were disposed of, it would be im possible for the Government to introduce their measure relating to India. EXCHEQUER BONDS. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER laid before the house a Treasury minute with reference to Exchequer Bonds. The motion that the house at its rising do adjourn until Thursday next was then agreed to. PROPERTY QUALIFICATION. Mr, TUFNELL gave notico that, early in June, he should ask for leave to bring in a bill to abolish the pro perty qualification of members ; and when the noble lord moved for leave to bring in a bill to disfranchise persons employed in her Majesty's Dockyards, he should move as an amendment that the votes of such electors should be taken by ballot. (Hear. hear.) INCOME TAX. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EX CHEQUER, the report on the income tax resolutions was ordered to be received, and the report having been brought up by Mr. BOUVERIE, the resolutions were read and agreed to, and leave given to bring in a bill founded upon them. LEGACY DUTIES.-ADJOURNED DEBATE. The house having resolved itself into committee of ways and means, Mr. Bouverie in the chair, the following reso lution was read at the table :—" That, towards raising the supply granted to her Majesty, the stamp duties payable by law upon or for or in respect of legacies, shall be granted and made payable ;upon and for every succession to the beneficial enjoyment of any real or personal estate, or to the receipt of any portion or additional portion of the in come or profits thereof, that may take place upon or in consequence of the death of any person, under whatever title, whether existing or future, such succession may be derived." The adjourned debate was resumed by Sir JOHN PAKINGTON, who said he was desirous of taking the earliest opportunity he could of expressing the views he entertained upon this question. He considered the proposal now before the committee to be, not only the principal feature of the Ministerial budget, but one of the most important financial propositions that had for a long series of years been submitted to the country. He re gretted that further than that ho could not go with the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He entertained the strongest disapprobation of the proposal which the right honourable gentleman had submitted to the committee; and as he had not hitherto intruded upon the committee with regard to the financial propositions of the Government, he hoped he might now venture to request their attention while he, as concisely and as clearly as he could, stated his reasons for objecting to the legacy duty resolutions. He confessed he was somewhat disappointed that the right honourable gen tleman, in his able speech last night, did not offer any ex planation whatever in regard to the machinery and the means by which ho proposed to raise the contemplated legacy duty. (Hear.) Perhaps the right hon. gentleman adopted a judicious line of conduct in limiting himself to the principle of his proposal, and inviting the committee to confine themselves to the discussion of that principle. He would strictly comply with the suggestion of the right honourable gentleman ' and would confine himself to a statement of the objections which he entertained to the principle of the proposed tax. The right honourable gentleman, in his speech last night, stated several distinct grounds upon which he was desirous of imposing that tax upon the country, and the first he mentioned was— that he would impose it to rectify the inequalities of the income tax. Now, with the view he took of the financial scheme of the right honourable gentleman, ho could not for a moment recognise that as a ground upon which the Chancellor of the Exchequer was justified in proposing this tax. He was one of those who thought that the ,in come tax, as proposed, bore hardly and unfairly upon rate able property, and, therefore, he. could not for a single in stant acknowledge the right of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer to impose any additional burdens upon rateable property, by way of correcting certain inequalities, which be said he conceived to exist. The next reason which the right honourable gentleman stated was that he thought the imposition of this succession duty would be ono means of enabling him to part with the income tax in 1860. Now, he was one of those who professed himself incredulous in regard to the termination of the income tax in 1860 But what was the next reason which the Chan cellor of the Exchequer stated in favour of his succession tax ? Why, that it would enable him to go on with the remission of indirect taxation. (Hear, hear.) Now, ho appealed to the committee whether or not those two rea sons were consistent with the other—whether, if this duty was imposed as a means of enabling the right honourable gentleman to repeal indirect taxation, that did not at once answer and confute the idea that it was imposed with the, view of enabling the right honourable gentleman to dis pense with the income tax in 1860 ? (Hear, hear.) But he now came to the fourth reason stated by the right hon. gentleman, and, in his mind, by far the most important, namely, that he.sought to impose this burden in order to remove what he called the glaring anomaly of the present law. (Cheers.) Well, he would endeavour fairly the to grapple with that argument , w hich he consideredtip de be ground upon which the wh ole q uestion must be decided. The right honourable gentleman said that it wouldnot system m possible to go on as we w ere ; that that eperoeucyt might last for one or two y ears, b ut pro ceed with the legacy duty upon its present footing. Why ts lasted for 70 not ? The present system had at all e years, the exact system now in o ratio v n en had existed for between 50 and 60 years, and therefore pe he could not see that there was on that score any articular reason l f e o d r t a o change. But the right . hon. rntleman appea the authority of Mr. Pitt. o could not have made a more unfortunate reference, for Mr. Pitt disclaimed his argument. In the debates which t 'lc place on Mr. Pitt's pl an in 1796, the very argument was used which they now found stated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, namely, that because you impose a legacy du t y u p on p ersonal pro perty, justice requires that you should impose it also upon real property. The answer of Mr, Pitt that was, that he [ PRICE SD. o ildpt w vhoira o saonst u pneig d lrfceattiny n ii tnot, o ;nw t e ftmamh a s ll aeit ,dno: o hehe i eo v fetropf ethefa irly as onebe found q d question drawn l o b n eb e t at o n: b . e embraced by the other ; that, having imposed a legacy duty upon personal t sing it upon real property, he would not p e t r c h e t e s io s n t it yr t ;:t i h in a a P t: d i: would teernyre s e t eoa i , ll l: qgb a hty l i t l e o st w tthiooo t rn d p h se: e uo e ,r d bfsg ( ti: h n tiueram o i tl. tt t y y:(2 r t nHru o taprsNei osaennporraised imposeptbilt personalty hraps t aetr h otth;st e eaha e tai llo (3° lint n ul,o b iye j rguvdtht u theot p nh b o tresye n n trowhaeiavea was not endeavour y ai gnr htlol honourableett e t o i no country n l gentleman, upon which the es hole case must be decided, namely, was this a just and fair tax, and one to which the show that the glaring anomaly of which they had heard so much did not exist ; that although the legacy duty was now raised from personal property, and not from real pro perty, there were full equivalents on the other side; that they could not with justice impose further burdens upon rateable property ; and that if there was an anomaly in the law at all, that anomaly told the other way, and pre vented the imposition of a succession tax upon real pro perty. His objections to the budget might be summed up in very few words, though they were weighty and im portant. His objection to the budget was that it was deficient in that impartiality and that equal justice to the various great interests of the country to which every finance minister was bound to adhere. The right hon. gentleman himself would admit that a graver objection could not be taken to his proposals. He did not impute to the right hon. gentleman any intention to throw him self open to that objection, but he thought his budget was fairly open to it. In the first place, he considered the budget to be partial and unjust in its operation upon Ire land. Into that question he should not at present enter. What was more germane to the question now before the committee was, that he thought the budget was partial and unjust in its bearing upon the landed interests and the rateable property of this country. He based that opinion upon the manner in which the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer proposed to continue the in me e s t p s a e o x d s i a t t n h d w i s ale a ( s s u o w t y u i p th on s upon t u r p h surmanner si he.n whic h ( h H e a e r a t ii h, the h e e a honour ablerr°.)He d t other night and speak of the " noble and comprehensive" plan of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and yet in the same breath vow his opinion that the mode of levying the income tax was unfair and unjust to the land, that the proposed mode of levying this succession duty was unjust and required correction, and that, generally speaking, the budget bore hardly upon the great interests connected with the land. He would ask the hon. baronet how a financial plan could claim the credit of being " noble and comprehensive," or how it could claim from English gentlemen the character of being just and worthy of admi ration, if it was open to those objections which the hon. baronet had himself urged against the propositions of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, namely, that they were partial and unjust in their operation ! (Hear, hear.) With regard to the income tax, he did not understand by what right the Chancellor of the Exchequer could seek to pro long it upon rateable property, which, upon his own show ing, paid at the rate of 9d. in the pound, while upon other descriptions of property ho imposed only 7d. in the pound. The statement of the right hon. gentleman was, that we must either have a graduated tax or an equal tax; but we had now neither the one nor the other. The honourable gentleman professed to give us an equal tax. but upon his own showing he actually gave us a tax which presed un fairly upon real roperty. Now, he was one of that perse cuted class, the country gentlemen. (A laugh) The right honourable gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer might smile ; but, he repeated, the country gentlemen had reason to complain of the treatment they had recently re ceived. While he said that, however, he was one of those who counselled the landed interest not to ask any . unfair exemptions ' but to accept th e i r s h are , w h a t e ver it might be, of the burdens of the country. On the other hand, he would counsel the landed interest not quietly to be made the victims of a fashion or a cry, and never to yield to, but, on the contrary, to resist to the uttermost, any plan which sought to impose upon them a burden which, they ought not to bear. The question for the committee to consider was, whether or not the plan now proposed did so. In discussing that question he intended to take the right honourable gentleman's own figures, which referred, not to land exclusively, but to what he felicitously called rateable property. He would call the attention of the com mittee, in the first place, to what the burdens upon rateable property really were. The Chancellor of the Exchequer had himself stated the annual value of the rateable property of this country at 80,000,0001. Now the landed property bore, as it was, a share of the legacy duty. Last year the legacy and probate duties produced 2,515,0901., and Mr. Trevor calculated that the legacy duty alone amounted to 1,380,0001., and that the share raised from real property was about 5-12ths of the whole, or, in round numbers, 500,000. Then came the stamps on deeds. The right honourable gentleman had stated that there were at present no means of ascertaining with exactness what pro portion of the stamp duty on deeds was paid by real property ,• but the total amount paid last year was 1,409.000/., and he thought the right honourable gentle man would admit that he did not over-estimate the popor- tion which ought to be charged upon real property when he put it down at 1,000,0001., or about two-thirds of the whole. The right honourable gentleman the member for the University of Cambridge, in a speech which he made upon this subject in 1842, estimated the proportion paid by real property at 1,200,0001., but a considerable altera tion had taken place since that time in the stamp duties, and the charge upon real property could not be fairly stated at more than 1,000,0301. Again, the Chancellor of the Exchequer had admitted that the extra income tax paid by real property, keeping out of view the charge of 7d. in the pound which applied to all descriptions of property, and calculating only the additional charge of 2d. in the pound which the right honourable gentleman had clearly proved was paid by real property, amounted to 460,000/. lie next came to an item which ho thought tho Chancellor of the Exchequer would admit must fairly be charged among the direct payments by real property—he meant fire insurances. The total amount received last year was 1,220,000/. ; but as he was aware he might be told that a portion of the payments for fire insurances was made for furniture and valuable articles within houses and buildings, ho proposed to deduct the odd 290,000/. on that account, and to take the charge for fire insurances upon rateable property at 1,000,0001. Then came those acknowledged burdens upon rateable property which the Chancellor of the Exchequer had himself stated amounted to between 14,000,0001. and 15,000,0001. He believed that in that statement the right - hon. gentleman included the laud tax. He would take the total amount at 14,500,0001, and the re sult of what he had stated was that the 80,000,0001. of rate able property annually paid direct burdens to the amount of 17,460,0001., or, as near as ho could put it, 22 per cent. (Mar.) He now asked, where was the glaring anomaly of which the Chancellor of the Exchequer spoke last night. (Hear, hear, hoar.) Where was the injustice as regarded personal property, which, according to the argument of the right hon. gentleman, not only justified him, but almost compelled him to proceed to impose this heavy and grievous additional burden upon rateable property? How stood the other side of the account ? What were the direct burdens upon the great mass of personal property in this country ? Ho knew of none excepting the balance of the legacy duty, over and above the 500,0001. which ha had charged to land. That would give 2,000,0001. to be paid by personal property, which, added to the balance of one third of the stamp duty on deeds, amounting to between 500,0001. and 600,0001., and to the charges paid on bills of exchange ' amounting to about 500,000 1 ., gave about 3,000,0001., if he was right in his calculations, as the sum now paid in direct payments by personal property, as com pared to 17,500,000/. paid by rateable property. (Hear, hear.) Well then, his argument was—and he hoped the house and the country would deem it to be a fair argument that this was not a state of things which justified the Chancellor of the Exchequer in coming down and seeking to impose not only this heavy burden, but a burden so vexatious and so odious in its character, that nothing but a stern necessity, nothing but a strong and unanswerable case of requirement by justice, could, in his mind, justify or excuse the Chancellor of the Exchequer in seeking to impose it upon the country. (Hear, hear.) One of his main objections to this tax was its inquisitorial character. They could not, in fact, devise a tam more objectionably inquisitorial in its nature. They were not yet informed of the mode in which the tax was to be levied ; but he was afraid it could not be collected without calling upon the parties to expose every portion of their affairs, and all the mortgages and encumbrances to which their estates might be liable. What were the authorities ? The right hon. gentleman had referred to Mr. Pitt ; but he had already shown that Mr. Pitt was, if anything, on the other side of the question. But what was the fate of Mr. Pitt's bill ? Why, the House of Commons and the country would not have it—they rejected it ; and Mr. Pitt, in the plenitude of his power, was obliged to abandon his proposal. Mr. HUME—It was the country gentlemen who defeated the bill. (Hear, hear.) Sir J. PAKINGTON—If the fact was so, he could only say that he hoped the country gentlemen would do the same. (Hear, hear.) But it was not the Tory party who threw out the bill. He regretted that the noble lord the leader of the house was not in his place, for he was going to name authorities who, although the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who found himself in new company, might not regard them with any very peculiar respect, would, he was sure, have great weight with the noble lord the member for the city of London. He begged to remind the house that Mr. Pitt's Succession Bill on land was defeated by Fox and Grey, the great Whig leaders, on the ground that it NM a tax upon capital, inquisitorial in its nature, and unequal in its ope ration. (Hear, hear.) Were these the only charges against the tax ? Did not Adam Smith urge, as an objection to it, its necessary inequality ? (Hear, hear.) The right hon. gentleman had, indeed, made some effort to remove that inequality ; but he (Sir J. Pakington) could not con• gratulate him on the success of his attempt. With regard to the general principle of the tax, Adam Smith said : " All taxes on the transference of property of every kind, so far as they diminish the capital value of that property, tend to diminish the funds destined for the maintenance of productive value. They are all, more or less, unthiifty taxes, that increase the revenue of the Sovereign at wasthe e xpense of the capital of the people." (Hear.) Such the light in which that high au thorit y regarded the prin ciple of this tax. But he (S ir J. Pakington) v upon the attention of the com mittee other highNould urge authori ties. In 1842, an hon. member of that hone (Mr. Elphin stone) raised the question of the legacy duty upon land. At that time it was not in the least regarded as a party question, and the principal sp eakers in o pp osition to .the motion were University of Cambridge (Mr. Goulburn), Sir It. Peel, and the noble lord the member for the city of London. The noble lord the member for the city of London then re sisted the proposal for the imposition of the tax upon real property, on the ground that Parliament had recently con sented to the imposition of tho income tax, and he ex pressed an opinion that, under those circumstances, it wo uld be unjust to place an additional imp os t of succession on real property. The right hon. gentleman the member for the University of Cambridge also opposed upon the ground of the weight of the the moti on , e stamp duties to which real property was subject—(ear, hear)— an d hi s ar gument was one of unanswerable power. eemai S d ir ()e n v . P ea e y el, th o , n t the same occasion, remark e d that " h the subject was a most extensive and complicated one, and that no just conclusion could be drawn respecting it with out looking to the whole of the stamp on conveyances.

These opinions an d argumr plicable to one particular time more that were directed broadly against the principl this kind, and were therefore as cogent n at the moment when they wore first deli hon. gentleman had sought to make out la, after all would really be a very small inapri and he had calculated it at about 400,0001. not the way in which such a question oug/ The right hon. gentleman had informed t: there existed no means of ascertaining amount would be, but an impression ce) out of doors that the amount would be vu than had been stated by the Chancellor o? The arguments which he (Sir J.Pakingto) just as applicable to a small as to a large . unjust to impose the tax on rateable property, aiey right to impose it whether the amount was small or large. He would not at present say anything on the question con nected with the machinery by which this tax was to be levied. lie apprehend that the difficulties which the right hon. gentleman would have to encounter would be, if not insuperable, at all events most serious. (Hear, hear.) The right hon. gentleman had told the committee .that ho did not mean to trust to compulsory legislation as a means of raising the tax, and if not, he (Sir J. Pakington) did not see how the right hon. gentleman could get over the difficulties which lay before him. The hon. member for Surrey (Mr. H. Drummond) had said that this was an eldest son's ques tion. He (Sir J. Pakington) granted it • but was it not also a younger son's question, and a daughter's question ? (Hear, hear.) He could conceive cases of a most .painf descria - tion, in which children having to submit to the sorrow arising from the loss of a parent, afterbeing reared in the luxury of their parents home, would find themselves obliged t) put up with the pittance which had been settled upon thorn, and would have to pay out of that pittance a heavy tax to the Chancellor of the Exchequer. (Hear.) He would appeal once more to the high authority of Adam Smith, who, in speaking of the laws of Holland upon this subject, spoke in the following terms of that law which did not allow suc cession duty to be paid in the case of direct descent of pro perty from parents to children :—" The death of a father to such of his children who live in the house with him is seldom attended with an increase, but frequently with a diminution of revenue arising from the loss of some office or life estate in which the father has had an interest. That tax would be cruel and oppressive which aggravated their loss by taking from them any part of his succession." It was that cruelty and that oppression which the right hon. gentleman sought to inflict by this bill. When it was said that this was an eldest son's question it was meant, no doubt, that the measure would be applicable chiefly to large estates and to rich inheritances. But who were the holders of landed property in England? Was England parcelled out into large estates ? No ' • he believed th a t th e grea t er part of the laud was held by small owners, although no means existed of telling the exact proportions. Mr. Farr had stated before the income tax committee that in the vast population of Great Britain there were only 236,000 per sons who had incomes of more than 2001. a-year. He (Sir J. p a ki ng a aa ) might assume that if that statement were true as regarded incomes, it would be equally true with regard to estates in land. He could not imagine a tax that would operate more severely than this tax. A large num ber of estates were not free from encumbrances, and it had become a common maxim that a man never was so poor a s when, he succeeded to his estates. Such a person would now find that a part of his narrow income was to be taken from him, in order to : Swell the income of the country and to maintain this odious impost. They heard a great deal of this being a popular budget in the country ; but ho (Sir J. Pakington) was sanguine enough to hope that the own ers of rateable property would bo alive to the serious bear ing of this tax upon their interests, and that they would resist it with unanimity. He believed that this proposal of the Chancellor of the Exchequer would be received with the deepest indignation when it became known that this heavy impost was to be added to an unfair in come tax, and when it should also be discovered that in the same budget there was a proposal to give one gigantic organ of public opinion • -he meant the Times news paper—a direct pecuniary boon of at least 25,0001. a-year. (Hear.) Ho was anxious to disclaim any intention of attri buting to the right hon. gentleman or to the Government anything like a sinister motive in this part of the budget. Ho (Sir J. Pakington) believed that the right hon. gentle man considered that the advertisement duty could not be satisfactorily adjusted without this arrangement ; but he thought the right hon. gentleman. had been unwise in ex posing himself to the suspicion which would inevitably attach to such a proposal throughout the country. (Hear, hear.) For, depend upon it, the people would not stop to make nice calculations as to motives when they heard that this newspaper was to receive a boon which, as he was in formed by gentlemen connected with the press, would amount to at least 30,0001. a year, but which, in order to be on the safe side, ho had taken at 25,0001. (Hear, hear.) The feelings of the country would certainly be aggravated by a comparison between the burdens imposed upon it and the boon which it was proposed to give to this organ of public opinion. Ho would not any longer detain the com mittee. He and his friends wore disinterested in their re sistance to this proposal. The question was too largo to be decided upon selfish grounds. If their resistance could not be vindicated on grounds of justice and reason, it could not be vindicated at all. But he resisted this part of the right hon. gentleman's measure, because he believed it to be iujurious to the most important interests of the country ; and whatever might be the general feeling with regard to other portions of the budget, he hoped that there would be the most decided opposition to the duty on suc cessions. (Hear.) Mr. FB,ESHFIELD moved as an amendment in line 4 of the resolution after " real" to.leave out the words " or per sonal," and to insert after the word " estate," in " like man ner as personal estate is now liable so far as the same can be made applicable, preserving, however, the law of primo geniture," and to leave out all the remaining words of the resolution. The hon. gentleman said that the effect of his amendment would not be in any way to touch the legacy duty. He did not seek to exempt real estate from the ope ration of the legacy duty, but he claimed that those burdens which fell particularly on real estate should be taken into consideration, with the view of their being adjusted. It was essential to the notion of a legacy duty that it should be levied on personal property left, by an individual. But the duty which was now proposed was. not a legacy duty, nor .an application of the legacy duty to real estate ; it was an entirely new impost. The Chancellor of the Exchequer had said that this was an ancient impost upon land, and that on that account we ought to be satisfied with it now. But that fact, so fax from being a recommendation, only showed that a burden which had been imposed on property ii ancient times had boon found to bo so barbarous that it could not outlive the march of civilisation. His practical objection to this tax was, that it would press most severely in cases where a gentleman settled a jointure of say 100 0001. Consols upou his intended daughter-in-law, the dividends upon which would amount to 3,000/. a-year, be cause the lady, on the death of her husband, would have to pay a succession duty upon that 3,0001. a-year, although not a shilling of it had belonged to her husband, and it was no part of the administration of his estate, but was property comin g from an individu a l wh o , as th e l aw now stands, was not even a relation. He contended that the impost in such instances as that could not be properly called a succession tax. Again, the tax would operate oppres sively in cases where elder sons, who happened n o t t o h ave been on good terms with th e i r fathers, were obliged to bor row money from the capitalists, secured upon the inherit ance whilst yet it was only prospective, because when they succeeded to the estate they would have to pay the tax upon their repayments. The hon. member concluded by moving his amendment. Mr. DRUMMOND said it had been remarked that walls had ears, and therefore he would not object to address the house, although there was scarcely a house to address—a circumstance which certainly was not symptomatic of very great alarm being entertained by the country on the subject of this tax. (A laugh.) [The number of members present when the hon. gentleman rose was extremely small.] It was said of Dean Swift, that, finding himself and his clerk the only worshippers in his church, he began, "Dearly beloved Roger, the Scripture moveth you and I in sundry places." (Laugh ter.) So he (Mr. Drummond) thought he might say, "This question moveth you and I, Mr. Chairman." With respect to the alleged hardship which this tax would inflict upon the daughters in great families, it would inflict such hard ship no doubt ; but that must arise ex necessitate rei, be cause in the case of these settlements, living 3.9 the daugh ters had been accustomed to do in large establishments, a subsequent change of position could not be felt to be other wise than painful. But the right hon. gentleman the mem ber for Droitwich (Sir J. Pakington) said that the great bulk of the land of this country was not held in such largo masses as was supposed, but an immense portion of it was owned by the yeomanry, and broken up in smaller quan tities. That was very true ; but then land of the latter description was very rarely under settlement—that class of persons never did encumber their estates in the way the large landed proprietors do, and therefore this objection. did not apply to their case. The hon. gentleman who spoke last did not deny that this was a tax which came down from former times, but ho said that it was a relic of bar barism, and hail become unsuited for our modern civilisa tion. He did not think the hon. member was quite cor rect as to the historical fact. In former times the Crown was in the habit of rewarding military service by grants of land, but if mercenaries were employed they were requited with money; and thus the practice was gradually introduced of giving soldiers pecuniary payment. His (Mr. Drum mend's) objection to this amendment was this. It did not object to a legacy duty; and when ho was asked by the Chancellor of the Exchequer to affirm the abstract proposi tionshouldsoy However,pay a Adoptingt ax on eu thatce 0 principle,ho w washtelitaot all refuse property he was afraid, from every view that he had been able to take todo of the subject, that when they came to the details of the measure there would be found such great difficulty or enor mous hardship as would render it almost impossible to carry it out. Therefore, he would be sorry to waste the time of the house in discussing this abstract proposition. Many persons thought the subdivision of the land wsareat advantage, and he granted that it was so. The was also another advantage ; but it was only valuable in ' simplifica tion of titles, which had been alluded to the other evening, order to make land more ulrelt le more important matter than some persons did. He looked upon it as the only s ure basis of cable, that was, to raise its marketable price. Now, regarded the land as a much a monarchy. And it was n ot because the landowner simply was a landown er th a t ho possessed the social influence and political pow er t o which the Chancellor of the Exchequer had referred. The landowner would have no such influence if ho were a mere 'parvenu; it was because of the long line of great nam es Connected with the property that he exercised his social i m portance and influence in his neighbourhood. And if the large estates were to he parcelled out and divided into small holdings, all that social and p o liti ca l i nfluence would vanish. For the same reason that hereditary monarchy was betterlong b t e h e a n n en a o e d t h a e n r d ; continuede i t n w t o h e v i s e a w m s e superior to any other form of m onarc h y, so land that h were falla i y /3 I h ad more important than was usually i magined. Some advocated direct taxation in order to get _rid. of indire c t t axa ti on . Now, he confess e d th a t h e thought they had got rid of in wished to do away withindir tt ; direct taxation too much ahead and the persons who ec taxaxatittiditeilon:gtiiivs: te a t their hope was to render direct the country would never bear i t, and that on that account they would be obliged to get rid of their military and naval establishments. But these people were very much mis taken. The first day that house refused to vote the supplies. it was not the soldiers and the sailors who would be turn( d adrift that would suffer soonest, it was the funds that would go first, and the mills next ; and they might depend uponit tlaat the men who had got a sword or a bayonet would be the very last who would go without a dinner that day. (Laughter,) He recommended them, therefore, to have a care how they superseded much more of their indirect taxa tion, for they might rely on it it would recoil on the heads of its advocates, and that they would find to their cost that they had taken a very short-sighted view of the matter. (Hear.) He would end as ho began, regretting that they should be discussing this point now. The details of tho bill would be most important, and would require so much consideration, that he thought it would be much ? r to the affirm the principle of the resolution at once, and let measure be brought in.
