In spite, however, f turing upon the frozen sur ethe caution thus given, a vast number of persons insisted ted upon risking their lives by going upon the ice, awndbfessr happenedral serious accidents took place yesterday, one of two o'clock in the afternoon, between one anil gardens on when' n long water near the bridge in Kensington - gardens , ifistatti the ice cracked, an d five or six persons were feet of water.

The parties were forthwith conveyed to the society's receiving-house, where they were promptly attended upon by Mr. Williams, and placed in warm baths. Fortunately, they recovered so as to be enabled to go to go to their respective homes. Notwithstanding this warning, the public would not be dissuaded from still rushing into further danger ; and, whilst a great number were sliding and skating upon the same water, a fearful break-up of the ice took place, and several p, r sons were seen struggling in the water at one time, and before the icemen could get to them some two or three sank in deep water ; but, after some time, they were rescued by the men, and taken to the receiving -house, where they obtained medical and other a , sistance, and they fortunately recovered. Several immersions took place in the other parks. but the cases were not of a serious character. Several persons standing on the bank in Kensington-gardens stated that there was one man still under the ice ; • but, from the search since made by the Humane Society's men, there is good ground for supposing that the whole of the parties immersed had baerilesoned. .

Under other circumstances I might have been disposed to address you on general questions, because the in terval which has elapsed Since Host mitt you has been coriSiderable, so considerable, indeed, that I should almost hare felt ashamed to refer to it, were I conscious that the " time that I had not given to you had been devoted to seeking my own amusement, or, that lhad neglected those. public duties charged to -me, in consequence of the seat which I enjoy through your. favour in . the House of Com mons. There is one consideration which at the outset pre , sents itself to. my mind in this matter highly honourable to yourselves, which has been but slightly'adverted. to by previous speakers. We are dealing with an income tax of sixteenpence in the pound, and so great -is the wealth of this conntry,'so general is the diffusion of that wealth, se large is, our population, and so many and so various ,the classes that contribute, so easy the collection, I must say, and so" prompt the payment, tkat an income tax of' that rate brings into the exchequer of this countria sum of no less than 16 millions of revenue, and at this moment we are under the imposition of a tax which is adding to our revenue at the rate to which I have referred. Now, gen tlemen, it is obvious, from the remarks which I have heard, that you entertain grave and serious 'objections to many arrangements connected with the amount, the im position, the constitution, and the Mode of assessment and collection of this tax. It is clear that these views have not been hastily adopted by you, and I think that it re dounds to your honour that I, at least till this evening, was not aware that you had ever before given expression to these objections. And why'? Because, you knew the Government of this country and the people of this country had been engaged in an arduous and severe struggle with a'great empire. And you knew that if the Government was to conduct that war in accordance with your •Own desires, with energy and enterprise, that it was necessary" yon'should furnish it with the means of doing so, and that there were no means so ready for the purpose as the belie- - sition of the income tax. I believer; thirefOre,' that yen' have abstained till now from 'raising:these Objeictione,' be cause you did not desire to iniPsir the fruitfillneanditlie productiveness of that: tax. by starting objeetidnl would go to impair its efficieney,, AO to undermine, land possibly to render impossible, its maintenance..

I. enter fully into yOur feel ings with regard to the firm resqlOion that has been pub'. witted this evening. The question , maybe ; presented you in this . wayi- 2 :-Yon consented ,v(lien oar :broke out to blecielerno-4" , 0 4 44bgt."4* to that - provided without resorting to that expedient of borrowing money, the facile exorcise of which in titnes,past and in previous wars had aCcumulatid a load of debt Whioh has cost us, and which will cost our descendants after us, so dearly. (Cheers.) You knoW, further, that whet: the war is over, and although you may remove your armies and fleets from the scene of operation—although you may bring your forces home and disband them and send them to their respective homes—although you may stop the flow of fresh expenditure, you know perfectly well that after a war is over it is then that the expenses and charges are presented for final settlement and adjustment ; and that, therefore, for a certain period after the termination of a great strug gle, the expenditure of the country must be proceeding at an almost undiminished rate for a certain time in order that those expenses and outstanding charges may be ad justed. Therefore it was that you consented to this dupli cation of a rate at which the income tax had been previ ously assessed should be continued for a certain period after the war, and you concluded that a period of 12 months would suffice for that purpose ; you know that 12 months has expired since the treaty of peace was concluded, and therefore it is that you now urge that, irrespective of the language of any Act of Parliament, irrespective of the position which in virtue of that Act of Parliament the Go vernment may stand in, that they shall forego the continu ance of the tax at that rate, and shall be content to return to the rate which existed prior to the commencement of the war. Now, gentlemen, when the financial statement of 1353 was presented, the Chancellor of the Exchequer at that time anticipated the early termination of the income tax. He fixed as the limit to it the year 1860, and he pros posed that the rates at which the income tax should be levied in the interval between the year 1853 and the year 1860 should be reduced by a graduated scale according to certain periods of years within that intervaL Under that arrangement, if that arrangement had subsisted, the in come tax from the Ist of April this year to the Ist April 1860, would only have been sd. in the pound, and in April 1860, it would have terminated altogether. No one at that time foresaw the storm which was gathering in the north—no one saw or knew how near was the approach of the calamity that was then impending ; but war followed, and when the war breke out a new arrangement was made with regard to the income tax, and in the year 1851 the income tax was doubled, and it was then enacted and pro vided by the law that the double rate of tax should con tinue for a year after the treaty of peace And if that had been all the enactment of the law upon the subject your views would have prevailed without any question whatever and in the month of April of this year the income tax would have returned to the rate at which it was before. You knew, however, that after our army had been landed in the Crimea, and after we had lost some ground in the course of the first winter, and there had been miscarriages and mis adventures, it was necessary to make increased exertions, and therefore it was in the month of April, 1855, that a further addition was made to the income tax. It was raised from 14d. to 16d. in the pound, and then it was provided that there should not only be an addition of 2d. in the pound, but that the previous addition of 7d. should con tinue, not as had been in the first instance provided, not for a year after the conclusion of the treaty of peace, but for the period of a year which should commence to b, reckoned from that month of April which should first fol low after the conclusion of the treaty of peace. The Ist of April will be the present year, and the year for which the income tax was intended to continue was to be the year which:commences to run from the April in this year. That is the legal state of the question. You have urged, and properly so, that no advantage should be taken of this po sition. You think that a year is sufficient for the continn ante of this war rate or income tax to wind up all outstand. ing accounts and charges, and your wish in this respect has been fortunately anticipated by the Government. (Cheers.) And never wasthere an occasion on which a charge against a Government was so unfounded as that which has been made by one of the speakers upon the present occasion. in regard to the question that it was necessary that you should urge the Government in the course that it is proposed to take, the Chancellor of the Exchequer has stated that it never entered his mind to take advantage of the act of Parliament, and that he never contemplated continuing the rate at which the income tax should be assessed at 16d. in the pound, beyond the Ist of April this year, and that if it were necessary that it should be con tinued, he s h ou ld g i ve ample opportunity to the pu bli c an d t subject, to Parliament t o exerc i se their own discretion upon th e either to grant or withhold it as they might then that trei yin portion r o f th th e e think best fc; accordance.firsßt urtestobluattion, public service. Therefore, as regards resolution w e ere tax should b e r further proposition—it re h the income in this year shall be reduced to what it was before the war. (Hear.)

Bilt,•then, it has been said that the income that is raised in the course of a year is spent: ha the CQUPI2I of year in the service upon * which the money is raised, is spent in services which ate ef a.permanent character, and the interest which persons have in the pro Per bentluCtaaf i this service may fairly be Measured by the income Which - they receive for that year: That is one of the arguments that has been used against the establishment of any distinction between these kinds of pro perty.' 'no you recelledt the sPeech made in 1853 by the Chandelier ottlinExthequerit that time? At that time there, had been a great agitation upon this very question, which had proceeded to grea,ter lengths than now. He made a speech 'upon this subject, unparalleled or unser 'Pitied, for' eloquence, range, and lucidity. A.nd from the . time that he delivetecl, that speech, the, agitation ceased and V opposition was abandoned, and why ?

(Hear.) You must recollect that the income tax has never been considered a permanent part of the fivancial system of this country. It ha s alwa y s been considered as an expedient to be had recourse to in timed of great emergency. I believe that is a proper policy to pursue. With regard to this tax, doubtless direct taxation has advantages over indirect, bUt the knowledge that we possess in our armoury of finance .a weapon so formidable as the income tax, which, if patio force, can bring into our exchequer in the course of the year 10,000,000 i. or 20,000,000 E., or 30,600,000'., sufficient to swell our army and our forces to almost any extent we please—l do believe that the knowledge on the part of foreign countries that we possess so great a power as this does tend to stifle many ambitious projects, many rebellious instincts that they may .from time to time be possessed within regard to this coun try, and to that - extent serves to maintain oar external tranquillity and peace with the world. (Cheers.) Gentles men, the other objections which have been made to this tax are of minor importance. I must confess myself to a predilection in favour of that point of starting for the in come tax which was established when it was imposed in 1842. That was an occasion on which theincome tax was had recourse to for the purposeof meeting a great emergency. In the first instance it had been used 50 years before to put a stop to the accumulation of the load of debt which had been going on for a considerable period prior to that time. In 1842 it was had recourse to for the purpose of en • abling certain great commercial reforms to be carried out, to liberate theindustry of the country, to allow the produce of foreign countries to come into our markets on the same footing of advantage with productions of our own country, and I think that no one will say who rightly appreciates the advantages which have been derived from the policy established in 1812—and it waste enable such policy to be carried out that the income tax was imposed —no one will say that the advantages which have been derived to the country have not been cheaply purchased—very cheaply, I may say, with reference to the inconveniences that have been submitted to in consequence of the imposition of this income tax. (Hear.) Now, I say, as far as my predilec tion is concerned, I should be gladto see the income liable to this tax starting from 1501. a , year and upwards. I do not recollect precisely the ' circumstances under which incomes between 100/. and 1501. were made charge .able to this tax.. I believe that it was in consideration that some equivalent and counterbalancing advantages were given to those who possessed incomes fluctuating be tween' the two points. The other matter which has been referred. to has reference to the mode in which the income tax is collected.. I am indebted to the chairman for the allusion he has made to some information which I fur nished to a gentleman who wrote to me to inquire whether some mode could be devised by which a persca locally cons nected with this town could be placed among the local commissioners for collecting the tax. I pointed out to him, upon investigating the subject, that the matter was One' over which Government hod no control, that these local commissioners were selected from the landooramis sioners, that that was a body that had been nominated some time ago, and they had the election and appointment' of these income tax commissioners solely, at their own con trol. ' (A Voice--" Who .appointed them ?") They were appointed many years ago, and I have no knowledge to whom they were indebted for their office. I can truly say that these and other ma' tors , before referred to shall re ceive my earnest consideration. We know that the season is about to open, and I think that you may look with con fidence ,to a solution of this question .being made by the Government which will meet the, public sentiments upon the subject. As regards myself I can truly and confidently assure you that I shall endeavour to discharge my duty in regard to this as to all other matters with diligence and fidelity. lam always mindful of the responsibility I am under by being the trustee of your public interest. There is no object to which I attach more value 'than the reten tion of your good opinion, and I have every reason to be thankful to you for the confidence reposed in me up to the present time, and I trust that, for the future, I shall do nothing which shall forfeit your good opinions, which shall make you ever repent the selection you have made on a former occasion, or which shall make you hesitate to renew the relationship which subsists between us upon any future occasion which may arise. , (Loud cheers.) It was agreed that a petition embodying the resolutions should be drawn up for presentation to Parliament, and a vote. of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedinp. FURTHER DESPATCHES IPROM THE PERSIAN GULF: The Gazette of last night republishes the de spatches from the Bombay Government Gazette, which we gave yesterday, and with thein a merely formal communication front the Governor of Born bay to the Secret Committee of the India Board.

On the 25th the United States' Commissioner in formed American citizens that the Imperial High Commis- sioner having failed to render satisfaction for the recent insult to their flag Commodore Armstrong would not desist from aggressive measures till ample apology should be made, arid a guarantee given that the American flag should be respected for the future. The Commodore determined on the demolition of the Barrier Forts, the capture of which I have already reported, and commenced blowing them up. In the afternoon of the same day 37 war junks issued from a creek, and anchored in line about four miles from the Encounter in shoal water. Capt. O'Callaghan endea voured to 'get within range of them the following day, but without effect. The Chinese fired several shots, which fell short. These junks have since retired. 3. Reports having reached me that the Chinese were busily employed in re-arming the Blenheim Fort I sent the Barracouta down the Macao Passage on the 26th, with Capt. Twiss and a party of Royal Artillery, to check any such proceedings, and to destroy tho fort. About 150 sol. diers were found there, and 15 guns had been mounted. The troops were driven out and the guns rendered useless ; a few mines under the works completely destroyed them. Commander Fortescue, before leaving, informed the head man of the adjoining village, who had superintended the progress of the works under promise of reward from the Mandarins, that any further attempt to restore the felt would result in the burning of the place. 4. On the 29th two 10. inch mortars were mounted on the Dutch Folly, and their range was tried on the French Folly Fort. 5. On the 3d inst. a most melancholy occurrence took place. Captain Cowper, R.E., who had been detached fo ervice at Canton, was superintending the pulling down of some Chinese houses outside the factory, when oneof them suddenly fell on him, from which he sustained snob exten sive injuries as to cause his death in less than three hours. Captain Cowper had been of the greatest assistance in strengthening our position, and I cannot too highly express my admiration of the zeal and professional ability he dis played. Her Majesty's service has sustained a severe loss in his untimely end. I sent the Coromandel to Hongkong with the remains of the deceased gallant officer. 6. The Chinese authorities having re-armed and strength ened, the French Folly Fort, situated near the south-east city gate, having in its rear extensive barracks occupied by troops, and erected flanking sandbag batteries on either side of it, notwithstanding we had endeavoured to cheek them by the fire of the guns and mortars in the Dutch Folly I determined on its destruction, as threatening a hostile concentration of force, and being an obstacle to the freena vigation of to river by the passage through the Barrier Forts. The Encounter and Barracouta accordingly shifted their positions to below the Dutch Folly on the evening of the 3d, and on the following morning I embarked in the Encounter, and dropped down to the fort, accompanied by the boats of the squadron, having on board about 350 small arm men and Royal Marines under the command of Capts. Wilson and the Hon. A. A. Cochrane, C. 8., of the Win chester and Niger, and Capts. Penrose and Boyle of the Royal:Marines. The ships were anch ored about 850 yards from the fort, being as near as the depth of water per mitted, and at 7 a.m. a heavy and effective fire was opened from them, and from the Dutch Folly ; the boats soon after pushed on shore, and our flag was planted on the walls of the fort amidst the hearty s heers of the assailing parties. The Chinese troop s twice attempted to rally, but were quickly driven back, and the affair was over within one hour, from the first g un being fired, The fort mounted about 20 heavy guns, with others of various calibre in the sandbag batteries. Those in the fort were mounted some what similarij to ships' guns, with breechings secured to spars across the o utside of the embrastres. This gives some colour to the report that many of the garrison had served in European ships. The usual official placards were found on the walls of the French Folly, offering rewards for the murder of all Eng lishmen, and of Chinese in their employ. As soon as resistance had ceased, a party of Royal Artillery, under command of Capt. G. Rolton, commenced the destruction of the fort. Mines were ,sunk and sprung under the works which laid the whole of the massive granite in a heap of ruins, barely ore stone being left in its original position. The guns were destroyed, and their new carriages burnt. Throughout the day feeble attempts were made by the Chinese troops to disturb our operations, rendering it ne cessary for our covering parties and boats' guns to keep them from advancing. These buildings ultimately caught fire, and were burnt to the ground. During our operations the Dutch Folly Fort, in charge of Commodore Hon. C. Elliot, threw shells from the worst tars into the city, where troops had been previously ob served, which fortunately exploded two magazines. The gallantry and promptitude displayed by the officers and men, and the rapid success which crowned their exer tions, deserve my warmest commend ation. , I am happy to be able to state that our loss only: amounted to one pri vate, Royal Marines, of her Majesty's ship Winchester, killed, and one seaman slightly wounded. The ships were hulled several tunes—the Encounter by 4 1 ). STAMPED SD• a 63-pounder shot. The ships returned to the Factory Creek on the sth. It has been reported that the Chinese authorities placed great confidence in the strength of the fort, backed as it was by the presence of a large body of troops. On the sth a seaman belonging 'to the Comus, and a private Royal Marine, of the Sybille, having, contrary to orders, strayed from their post in the Macao Fort to Honam Island, were attacked by some of the inhabitants of the village of Nan Pien. The marine was murdered, and his head carried off ; the seaman jumped into the river, and was drowned. The next day „Lsent the Barracouta to the locality, and burnt the village, which was found deserted. I also issued a pro clamation, of which 1 enclose a copy, pointing out the cause of this punishment, and threatening the same conse quences should any Englishman lose his life in a similar manner. . 8. The American ships of war completed the demolition of the litrrier Forts on the 6th, and dropped down to Whampoa. These forts were of enormous strength and solidity, being entirely built of large blocks of granite, with walls 9or 10 feet thick. They were heavily armed, many of the guns beiog -7 or 8 tons weight, with a bore of 13 inches; one brass Bi-inch gun was over 21 feet long. The Levant arrived yesterday at Canton. 9.

LEGATION OF THE UNITED STATES. Macao, Dec. 9, 1856. Sir,—A despatch from Commodore James Armstrong, of this day's date, informs me that on the 6th inst. the demolition of the Barrier Forts was completed, and the ships had returned to the anchorage at Whampoa, and in a few days the damage to the vessels would be repaired. Enclosing me copies of his correspondence with the Im perial Commissioner, he observes —" Here I presume it will end, and so long as he, the Imperial Commissioner, does not commit any act of violence against our flag or citizens we shall rest upon our arms." His Excellency Yeh, in a despatch of the 7th inst., writes Commodore Armstrong " From this I see your Excellency has a clear knowledge of affairs—there is no matter of strife between our respective nations. Henceforth let the fashion of the flag which A meri ships employ be clearly defined, and inform mo what it is beforehand. This will be the verification of the friendly relations which exist between the two countries." I hano this day resumed correspondence with the Imperial Commissioner, demanding attention to various important subjects which I have chosen to place in abey ance pending the adjustment of the naval question ; among . . them other instances in which the flag of the United States has been fired on by the Chinese, and the rights of the United States' citizens, under treaty, have been brought to his Excellency's notice, who has been informed that, failing to render the satisfaction demanded for the viola tion of the treaty by the forts of Kiang-Shan, that matter will also be handed over to the Commander-in-Chief of the United States' naval forces in China to manage. This brief exposi of the present state of our relations to the Chinese Government at your port you are authorised to communicate for the information of the United States' citizens within your consular jurisdiction. Respectfully, &c., - - . PETER PARKER. 0. H. Parry, E3q., - United States Consul, Canton. RETURN OF CASUALTIES RECEIVED BY THE NATAL FORCE EMPLOYED IN THE OPERATIONS OF THIS DAY. DATED DEC. 4, 1856.

Sir --According to my intentions, intimated to you in / By letter of the 4th ipst., I proceeded to sea yesterday morn i n g, with 4 Chinese who had had their vessels taken away from them, and directed my search towards Lintin. Observing a suspicious -looking row-junk off Saw-chow at anchor, I sent and had her brought off, when, finding she had no number, papers, or flag, with a lazger crew than a trading vessel would have, and nothing on board but am munition for several small guns with which she was armed, I had no doubt but she was there waiting an opportunity to pounce upon some market boat (the islland being per fectly barren), and the only answer they could give me was that they wore rebelmen, and looking after Inandarins.

On Tuesday evening a meeting of the vestry of St. James's, Clerken well, was held in the Vestry-room, Upper Rr:stonan•street, to consider what course should hs pursued in c msequence of the decision of the Lords' Justices in reference to the incumbency. Mr. Hill was in the chair. Mr. Boulton, solicitor to tho vestry, pro duced a copy of the judgment delivered by their lord ' ,kips, which was ordered to be entered in the minutes slr. Foster then moved the following resolution : " That this vestry, being perfectly satisfied with the re cent decision of the Lords' Justices, do not take any further steps in the mitten" He observed that the course caken by the vestry in electing the Rev. Mr. Maguire was forced upon them, and he was glad that the vestry was in a position to restore to the parishioners their ancient eight of electing the incumbent. Mr. Wrenalds seconded the resolution, which was supported by Mr. Holland and other gentlemen. Mr. Glover, a dissenter, said be was glad that the rights of the parishioners were about to be restored to them. At the same time he thought too much money had been squandered away in litiga tion. He believed that the parish was determined to Meet the Rev. Mr. Maguire. Mr. Jones (churchwarden), Mr. Mason, and Mr. Chavell also addressed the vestry. tlr. Cantle moved an amendment, which led to some warns discussion ; after which the chairman put the question, when the amendment was lost by a large majority, and the resolution was unanimously adopted. Last night a crowded meeting of the parishioners of St. James, Clerkenwell, was held in the schoolroom, Inswell-street, in support of the Rev. Mr. Maguire, as candidate fur the incumbency of the parish. Mr. Hill, a vestryman, was in the chair, and several influential inhabitants of the parish were present. Mr. Aldridge, Mr. Webb, &c., addressed the meeting, and resolutions were unanimously passed pledging the meeting to uso their utmost exertions towards insuring the election of the rev. gentleman. The Rev. Mr. Maguire came for ward, and was received with loud and protracted cheers. He spoke for nearly an hour, and expressed his strong assurance that he should]have almost the entire support of the parish, since he knew that many parishioners who were sthelev ecs h p to re ee o o tues werel for his r rh nm o e p . w p e o dA n e t n h s Te h ha ca on d nk c lately w or o e f e fo d th e g i d e s d a td t o dh address chairman, and the meeting separated. --- WANT OF DOMESTIC SERVANTS IN CANADA..--We (Toronto Times of Ja nuar y 10) are cont i nually I Ch . am l9 be s. r 3 , d G . ui rr ld h h e al o l p ; i M nio r n . to bring before the parochial autho rities at home the great need we have of domestic ser vants —boys aad girls.

Mires, finding hi Spanish loan of 3,000,0001. exceedingly heavy, intend to visit London next week to offer terms to the holder of the certificates of confiscated coupons. His preposi (ion, it is alleged, will be to take these certificates in payment for his new stock, at a rate which would be equivalent to 121. in cash. It is improbable, however, that he would have allowed his t , rrns to transpire pre viously to negotiation. The impression in Paris was that the London committee demand 151., and the Am sterdam holders 121. 10s. ; but in the London negotia tions with M. Salamanca two or three years back the priee insisted upon, it is believed, was only 101. 10i. THE EARLY CLOSING ASSOCIATION AND SUNDAY TRAP.
