The Earl of RIPON postponed the second reading of the ',ion Bill from Friday until Monday. The nOle ostponed the second reading of the Merchants and ors 13111 until Thursday. —MoN Corn Importat ,tPBELL moved t s of the consideration, the chief pointment of a general court of appeal, the tribunal to be the House of Lord;, with power to her majesty to enable the house to sit as a court of appeal out of session. This would supersede the necessity of the Court of Privy Council sitting as a court of appeal. He further proposed that there should be a permanent judge of the Court of Chancery, who should nut preside over the House of Lords; which would avoid the anomaly of having appeals made from the decision of the Lord Chancellor in one place, to the same Lord Chancellor sitting in another. The LORD CHANCELLOR opposed the second reading, and said his noble and learned friend, finding some evils, instead of endeavouring to cure the wound, went to work upon his radical reform principles, and like au unskilful surgeon pro ceeded at once to amputate the limb. He contended at con siderable length against the arguments of Lord Campbell, and said that the appeal from the Court of Chancery to the House of Lords was not an appeal from the Lord Chancellor in one place to the Lord Chancellor in another, because in the House of Lords the Lord Chancellor had the assistance of other noble and learned lords ; and in fact the great dan ger was that he might so far distrust his own judgment as to cause him to have a leaning to the opposite side. Under all the circumstances he should move that the bill should be read a second time that day six months. Lord BROUGHAM was also of opinion that the course pro posed was not the one which should be adopted to remedy the evils of which his noble friend complained, and he should, therefore, support the amendment of his noble friend on the woolsack, that the bill should be read a second time that day six months. Lord CAMPBELL replied; after which the second reading was negatived without a division.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MoNnay The adjourned debate was resumed on Mr. DUNCOMBE'S motion for the reception of a petition against the income tax. Sir R. PEEL contended against the reception of the peti tion, on the ground that it might lead to great public incon venience hereafter, if they were to break down a rule which had existed for 150 years. Lord Howicx and Lord J. RUSSELL contended that as the former practice of debating on petitions bad been abo lished, the rule against receiving petitions against a tax un der consideration of the house was the less necessary. Sir J. GRAHAM and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER took the same view of the subject as had been previ ously taken by Sir R. Peel. After some discussion, in which several hon. members took a share, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE called upon the government to move a standing order upon the subject, because as the question now stood he might, night after night, bring on the subject for discussion as long as he had a petition to present. The house divided, and Mr. Duncombe's motion was ne gatived by a majority of 222 to 221. The division was hailed with cheers by the opposition. Mr. COWPER. gave notice that he would on Tuesday pre sent a similar petition against the income tax. The adjourned debate on the income tax was then resumed by . _ Dr. BowaING, who said he was opposed to the income tax, but he still could not vote for Lord John's resolution without some qualification. He hoped the right hon. baro net would be as fearless in attacking large monopolies as he had shown himself in dealing with smaller ones. Mr. GALLY KNIGHT argued that the adoption of an in come tax was a bold proposition to meet a great emergency, while its pressure would be relieved by the concession made to the commercial and manufacturing classes by the altera tion in the tariff. Dr. ELPH!NSTONE contended that the income tax would press more heavily on the commercial than on the agricultu ral classes. Sir W. JAMES supported the proposition for an income tax, and regretted the delay occasioned to the consideration of the tariff as being injurious to the commerce of the country. • Mr. WALLACE opposed the proposition for an income tax, but at the same time admitted that a property tax could not be laid on without making it an income tax also. Mr. LIDDELL denied that any deception had been prac tised upon the farmers in the measures which had been pro posed by the government, and contended that there was nothing to justify the apprehensions entertained by the agri cultural classes respecting the importation of foreign cattle. lie strongly objected, however, to the proposed duty on the exportation of coals. _ _ Mr. R. WASON thought the proposition of the govern ment ought to be a tax on real property, instead of an income tax, which never should have been inflicted upon the country for the mere purpose of trying experiments with the timber duties. Mr. C. WYNN supported the proposition of the govern ment, though he could have wished that an income tax had been kept intact as a war tax. Mr. MACAULAY said be had been entrusted with a petition from the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce, which he was unable to present, because he was compelled to bow to an abuse, which prevented petitions from being presented against any tax while under the consideration of the house. H e could not bring himself to believe that such an abuse could continue when it had only a majority of one to support it, and which had not even the shadow of reason in its favour. The Cham ber of Commerce of Edinburgh condemned the income tax ; and, for his own part, he had no hesitation in saying that a property tax could be very easily imposed % , ithout allowing it to become an income tax. The right hon. gentleman then proceeded to contend that there was nothing in the situation of the country which called for the imposition of a tax so odi- ons as the measure now proposed by Sir R. Peel. With re spect to the proposition for throwing away the existing tim ber duties, he must say that he believed such a loss, .finan cially speaking, to be a greater disaster than the recent one in Affghanistan. Instead of imposing a tax to cover a deficit, Sir R. Peel was creating a deficit in order to have an excuse for imposing a tax. Lord STANLEY said, he concurred, not without reluctance, but with a strong conviction of the necessity, in the measures now proposed as being the proper, the fitting, and, in fact, the only mode by which the government could meet the difficulties left them as a legacy by their predecessors. It was admitted there was a deficiency in the revenue—it was admitted that taxation of some kind was necessary to meet it—and it was admitted that commerce was labouring under such depression at present that it was hopeless to look for immediate revenue from its revival. Under these circum stances it was that the income tax was proposed, and he con fidently believed the emergency he had stated was sufficiently urgent to justify the imposition of an income tax, however disagreeable it might be. It was said to be a war tax, and he would ask if we were at peace? It was true that we were at peace with America, and that our differences with that country might be amicably arranged ; but when before, he would ask, were we obliged to keep an army of 20,000 British bayonets in the Canadas ? (Cheers.) Were we at peace with China ? And to come to Affghanistan, the right honourable gentleman was glad enough, when speaking of the disasters there, to disclaim for himself having been a member of the cabinet at the time the policy regarding that country was resolved upon. (Loud cheering.) The right hon. gentleman rated at pounds, shillings, and pence the losses in the dis asters at Affghanistan ; he said that disaster was greater than the disaster at Walcheren, and yet rated it less than the loss of the timber duties; but when in the same breath he said that a religious feeling was involved in it, and that the free masonry of Islamism extended from Morocco to Coromandel, he forgot that, even looking at the Affghanistan affair, and judging of it by the low view of it as a financial question, his estimate of the comparative importance of the timber duties shrank into insignificance. The noble lord denied that the income tax was unjust or unequal. though it was inquisitorial ; but even its inquisitorial character would be as far as possible softened down by allowing professional and mercantile men to pay on an average of their incomes for a series of years. The measure was one which he believed would be well re ceived by the country—a measure so just that it had extorted from an opponent the praise that it was a bold, a direct, and an honest proposition. (Cheers.) Mr. LABOIJCHERE said that the noble lord had addressed the house with his usual ability, but with less than his usual fairness, for he had sought to fasten on Mr. Macaulay a charge of having viewed the recent disaster at Affghanistan as if the loss of brave men was to be estimated by pounds, shillings, and pence. The right hon. baronet then contended that the measures recommended by the late government would have superseded the necessity for an income tax. He admitted that many portions of the new tariff were most valuable, and he only regretted that those were the very portions which had met with the most strenuous opposition. Lord STANLEY disclaimed imputing to Mr. Macaulay any thing like an indifference to the lives lost at Affghanistan. He only meant to say that, looking at the matter in a financial point of view, it was a very low and imperfect manner of re garding such a greivous disaster. Lord F. EGERTON said he - had received two petitions— one from Manchester signed by 2-1,000 persons, and the other from Bury,—both of them strongly in favour of the financial measures brought forward by the present government, and hoped that no delay would he interposed, beyond such as was required by fair discussion, to those measures, including the new tariff, becoming law. The noble lord believed the income tax to be necessary, and should therefore support it as a vote of confidence in the present government, more especially because it was aided by the councils of the Duke of Wellington. Lord J. RussELL defended his side of the house from any wish unfairly to delay those measures. Delay was more fairly attributable to the present government, for had they thought proper all those questions might have been discussed last May. The noble lord further stated that he should he ready, if an inquiry took place into the affairs of India, to defend the course pursued, and to take his full share of the responsibility attaching to Lord Auckland, than whom no man could have shown a greater anxiety to perform his duty in the station which he had the honour to hold. Sir J. C. HOBHOUSE also expressed his readiness to take his full share of responsibility, and said that Lord Auckland could have pursued no other course than that he had adopted, if he consulted the welfare of the whole Indian empire. Mr. M. PHILIPS said he had received a requisition from over 3,000 of the electors of Manchester, calling upon him to oppose the income tax by every fair means in his power. Sir R. PEEL, in reply to a question from .Mr. LABOU. CHERE, said be held the new tariff in his hand, and a copy was in the hands of the printer, so that it would be very soon in the hands of hon. members. After a few observations from Mr. C. POWELL, the debate was adjourned. -..-... , .4. , ..--.-- HOUSE OF LORDS.—TuEsDAY. Viscount MELBOURNE gave notice that when the Corn Importation Bill should come on for second reading, if the amendment of Earl Stanhope, that it be read a second time that day six months, should be defeated, he would, on going into committee, move a resolution to the effect that a fixed duty on the importation of corn and flour would be more ad -....us „ to trade, and more beneficial to all classes of the community, than a graduated duty varying with the average price s of corn in the markets of this country. The Duke of WELLINGTON, in moving the second reading of o exchequert bills, of the Forged Exchequer Bills Bill, said that in consequence of the extensive frauds which took place last year in the issue The e boi i fi n it t hw r e o a d so u or c ole e a d iod i f as o s r isoen t e h o, alwitdhpiouhr phoasdaen,atlipr an inquiry became necessary into the whole billfhwe was sransactions connected therewith, and accordingly this ordered u ea r ds pursuant an sat.t t to be b t e h e sug gestion com mitted • lordships their adjourned. . _ HOUSE OF COMMONS. —TUESDAY. Mr. COWP ER a tt empted, in pursuance of the intimation O7 — he had given on the previous evening to pre sen t a pet i t i on against the proposed income tax ensued which last e d f or some time. An animated discussion fl . length Lord Fr anc i s Egerton suggested the adjournment of t ti the debate for a few days, with a view to enable a new standing order to be brought u himself to do red to forward which would be satisfactory, p so on Thursday if no one else took the matter Sir R. PEEL was disposed to acquiesce in whit 3 o . a r p d p q be the prevailing feeling of the house, and moved the adjournment of the discussion untilthereuponAti Friday next, in order to give an opportunity of ascertaining the result of Lord Francis Egerton s proposition. Several hon. members on the opposition side of the house protested against this arrangement as a compromise, wnich was denied, however, by the ministerial side, inasmuch as it had been intimated that governMent would give way on the subject. Mr. Ai AsTEamAN regretted that the house had not come to a decision that night, and said that the commercial inte rests in the city he had the honour to represent were most anxious that no delay should take piece in coming to a de cision upon the important questions submitted to its conside ration. Sir W. JAMES spoke of the inconvenience of delay in not coming to a decision. Lora J. RUSSELL hoped the debate would close to-mor row, but as there were many hon. members who had not ex pressed their opinions, and who were desirous of so doing, he thought it impo,sible to prevent them, if they deemed it a duty to their constituents to address the house. The other orders of the day were the❑ disposed of, and the house adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-WEDNESDAY Sir H. DOUGLAS, seeing the vice• president of the Board of Trade in his place, begged to ask that right hon. gentle man whether there was any objection to, or difficulty in, fur nishing the information required by a notice of motion which oe had given on a former day, in the shape of a return of the cubical admeasurement, &c., of foreign wood imported into this country for home consumption, for the year ending Ja nuary, 1842, together with the amount of duties received, how classed, &v. Mr. E. GLADSTONE, who was not distinctly heard in the gallery, was understood to say that, in answer to the question of his hon. friend, he ought first to say that there was no ob jection whatever on the part of her Majesty's government to the production of a return of this description, but that it was im„racticable ; that it was not in the power of the revenue department to take cognisance of the cubical quantities of deals imported from abroad by the tale ; and that with re spect to the dimensions of such woods, they could only know as to the lengths. It was impossible to compute with accu racy the cubical contents of such timber. He believed that what had been stated by his right hon. friend was that the general average duty upon timber of all kinds, and from all parts, ran from 41s. to 425. : that computation was, however, unofficial, and rested with those who were engaged in the trade. The average of woods imported from the Baltic, so far as the calculation cubically could be made, was 425. the load duty. But with regard to the inferior descriptions of wood included in the averages, and the effect of the duty to lower the averages by 35., when the proposition of the right hon. gentleman was made to tax timber and deals only in two classes, as stated in his speech, the tax on lathe and fire wood was estimated at 20s. Then the smaller classes had, with reference to the new tariff, been placed under a different duty by themselves, at a duty lower than that proposed by the right hon. gentleman to be laid on deals, and the duty on deals and sawn woods had been taken out of the average, and the duty had been raised on the higher descriptions of wood from 335. to 38s. Mr. DUNCOMBE moved that Richard Gibbons, who had been committed to Newgate on the charge of having com mitted perjury before the great Marlow election committee, should be called to the bar and reprimanded. After some discussion, the house directed that the minutes of the evidence should be printed, with the view that the matter might be hereafter more fully considered. Mr. W. S. O'BRIEN asked Sir. R. Peel if it was the in tention of the government to reccornmend to her Majesty to confer upon the Lord Mayor of Dublin the same honour which had been conferred upon the Lord Mayor of London. It was the more desirable that this honour should be conferred as the present Lord Mayor of Dublin was the first Catholic who had filled the office for centuries. Sir R. PEEL hoped he should not be considered to be treating the house with any disrespect if he declined to say what advice the government intended to give her Majesty upon the subject. _ _ The adjourned debate on the income tax was resumed by Mr. ALDAM lauded the reductions made by the new tariff, but was still unwilling to pay f,,r them so dearly as by the infliction of an income ta. Mr. ESCOTT supported tl ment, and impressed upon ti were, by submitting to this rate insurance for the pro mainder of their possession rorositions of the govern .tiers of property that they :e tax, only paying a mode n they enjoyed for the re- Mr. PARKER supported th esolutions of Lord J. Russell, and did not think that the C., eign affairs of the country pre sented such an aspect as to raise a presumption that they could not be grappled with by the ordinary resources of the country, without resorting to an income tax. Lord SANDON contended that the budget of the late mi nisters would have produced no sufficient revenue. As to corn in particular, if the harvest had been a good one, no corn would have come in to pay duty ; if a bad one, the fixed duty would have been taken off. Nor could any immediate revenue have been relied on from sugar or timber. If all these items were unavailable last year, were they to be re vived by some sudden galvanism for the purposes of the pre sent day ? The people preferred the holder and more pro ductive scheme of Sir R. Peel, to which they saw, indeed, certain objections, but which they, best knowing their own affairs and interests, were content to accept. The distinction between a war-tax and a peace-tax was not applicable here. If a technical ground were taken, we were at war—if a sub stantial one, we were in great emergency. Our loss of men in India was not to be likened to a loss of men in an hospi tal ; for we must measure each loss by its consequences to the British arms in the country where such loss took place. Ten thousand men, lost in a defeat, migiat occasion a neces sity for a new armament of ten times that amount, while 10,000 men, lost in a victory, might altogether have termi nated the war. China, too, required a warlike outlay, im practicable without an extraordinary outlay. He felt the inequalities of the proposed income tax, but he acquiesced in them as unavoidable. Though the intended per centage would, upon small incomes, be inconvenient, it would not, even there, be ruinous ; and there would be much of com pensation in the increased cheapness of living, and in the rel:ef to the springs of industry. The fi rs t i mpress i on o f t h e whole plan upon the house had been highly favourable ; it was not till party had had time to ge t up objections that a mur mur had been raised ; and, after all, there had been but a partial discontent. He concluded by an explanation of the motives which had led him and others to oppose that portion of last year's budget which sought to let in slave-grown sugar. Sir C. NAPIER said, if he could believe that the state of the country required an income tax, a property tax, or both, he would cheerfully support them. He believed, however, that the budget of the late government, if adopted, would su persede the necessity for an income tax, and he believed Sir Robert Peel was of the same opinion on this subject, but that he feared to propose anything of the sort lest he should be abandoned by his supporters behind him. He referred to the occurrences in India, which he conceived to be the great est disasters this country had experienced within his memory, and he hoped the right hon. baronet would re mem b er an , to take care not t o carry on a ob servation of the Duke of Wellington, and, no w th at he was sending out troops to India little war in that country. Mr. TROTTER preferred the plan of Sir R. Peel to that of Lord J. Russell, even although the former was accompanied by the income tax, which, in the circumstances of he coun try, he must look upon as a bold and honest proposition. Mr. O'CONNELL said, that having, after consideration, come to the conclusion that it was not right to impose an t income tax on England, he felt bound to offer to every opposition in his power. A property tax he had no objection to; inde e d, h e th oug ht th a t property was the only thing that °tight to be taxed ; and so far from income and property MONUMENT TO SIR WALTER SCOTT.—Her Majesty has giuen £lOO, the Queeh Dowager £5O ; Prince Albert £25, the Duke of Sussex and the Duchess of Iverness £lO, the Duchess of Sutherland £lO the Duchess of Buckingha m £5, the Duc..ess of Gloucester £ s.to.the subscription for erecting the monument to Sir Walter Scott. £12,8U0 is the amount necessary to complete the monument, which is a Gothic tower and marble statue.

FEEDING POULTRY.—Professor Gregory, of Aberdeen, in a letter to a friend observes—" As I suppose you keep poul try, I may tell you that it has been ascertained that if you mix with thei r f oo d a su ffi c ient quantity of egg s h e ll s or chalk, which they eat greedily, they will lay, cwieris paribus, twice or thrice as many eggs as before. A well fed fowl is disposed to lay a vast number of eggs, but cannot do so with out the materials for the shells, however nourishing in. other respects her food may be ; indeed a fowl fed on food and wa ter, free from carbonate of lime, and not finding any in the soil, or in the shape of mortar, which they often eat off the walls, would lay no eggs at all with the best will in the world. Lay this to heart, and let me know in spring if the hens lay two, or two for one." Letters have bean received from the Bishop of the Anglican Church at Jerusalem, of which the latest is of the 9th March last. Of course they cannot contradict ccports of insults , offered to him, stated in the news papers of which he co u ld not be aware hut there is not a word or an expression that !cad., co the supposition that he had experienced any insult of any sort. On the contrary, all the evidence of feelings entertained towards him appears to have been satisfactory ; and the conduct of the authorities had been " most encourag ing." There are various letters from other persons attached to the mission, which lead entirely to the same conclusion. —Correspondent of Standard. SHOCKING AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Monday week, about half-past ten o'clock in the morning, a bov, named Robert Wainwright, was caught by one of the shafts on the premises of Messrs. Bond and Lindley, callenderers, at Man chester, and carried round at the rate of sixty-five revolutions per second. His screams brought several persons into the room, and, the engine having been stopped, he was extri cated, after being upwards of three minutes in this perilous situation. He was then insensible, and his right arm was broken, and his right foot separated from the leg. When restored to sensibility, he said be had been doing something with one of the straps, and had thus entangled himself wish the shaft. He had no business in the room. He was taken, to the Infirmary, where he died the same evening at five o'clock.—Manchester Chronicle. EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY of WATCHES IN LON DON.—Between eleven and twelve o'clock on Friday week, as a man named Brown, a corkcutter, was passing along Crutched-friars, he saw a parcel lying in the gutter, which, on being opened, was found to contain fifty-three Geneva silver watches. Brown lost no time in conveying the pro perty to the station-house in Tower -street, and delivered it to Inspector Bradley, who sent a description of the watches to each of the station-houses, and then took them to the head office in Basing-hall-street. There is every reason to believe that the wrapper had been a pocket to a great coat, and had fallen off, as there are several stitches in it. At a late hour on the previous evening a foreign steamboat arri ved at London Bridge Wharf, and there is reason to suppose that tae property had been smuggled. The whole of the watches have been seized by a custom house officer. MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE AND DEATH OF A LADY. —About three weeks since, Miss Stabbins, who resided with her brother and sister at Worle, Somerset, after she had re tired to her bed-chamber at ten o'clock, said to her sister, " I willsgo down and see if the street door is locked," which she did, but not returning, her sister went down purposely to ascertain the cause,. and found on a table the young lady's cloak, shawl, and her purse, containing several pounds, and the street door open. Having called up her brother and the servants. search was made in the village, and the neighbour ing ponds were also raked, but she could nowhere be found. The dirtracted relatives continued making every inquiry, but could hear no tidings of her till Monday last, when her body was discovered by John Cox. in the river Yeo, in the parish of Congresbury, full five miles from the house of Mr. Stab bins, at Worle.

Tee remitting of £600,000 a-year to the industrious classes in England a greater nziefortune than the disgrace of the British arms—the imprisonment of British women at the mercy of licentious, savage murderers—the lost lives of 10,000 or 12,000 of our fellow-subjects, a spark kindled that may consume our Indian empire ! By what military disgrace-- by what social calamity will Mr. Macaulay balance the sur render of the post-ojfice revenue? It must be by something equivalent to Napoleon's last Russian campaign. But mark the " miserable financier;" allowing him to make his balance sheet between military shame, political danger, and peril to the honour of English women, on one side, and pounds, shillings, and pence on the other, how does he complete his accounts? You must employ, says he, 10,000 more men in India—the cost of 10,000 men will not be more than £400,000 per annum, and you give away (to the industrious classes in England) £600,000 per annum. Indeed ! And where did Mr. Macaulay learn that a campaign can be conducted, any where, however near to resources, at the rate of £400,000 per annum for every 10,000 men ? Not, certainly, in Europe. The Duke of Wellington had seldom more than 40,000 men with him in the Peninsula, often less, and as a military econo mist his grace is confessedly unrivalled, yet we do not find that the four years' war in the Peninsula was completed, gloriously as it was, for less than seven millions sterling ; but we must not waste time upon such trash. Twenty mil lions sterling will not repair the disaster in Affghanistan, if that disaster can be ever repaired in a political and military light ; in other regards it is unhappily irreparable.— London Standard. CALCUTTA CATHEDRAL.—The Bishop of Calcutta has forwarded to the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge a report, in which he says, " It is hoped that in little more than two years from the present time, perhaps on the feast of the Epiphany, 1844, the cathredral may be ready for conse cration. The style of architecture originally proposed has been adhered to, except where the climate and soil of Bengal have interfered. It is Gothic, or, as Mr. Britton terms it, Christian, modified by the circumstances just alluded to; that is, Indo-Gothic, or Indo-Christian' if such words may be allowed. The extre me l eng th of the building, in c l u di ng the buttresses, will be 247 feet, (being 50 feet longer than in the plan of October, 1839,) and its width 81 feet, and at the transepts 114 feet. The height of the tower and spire from the ground will be 201 feet, and of the walls at the top of the battlements 59 feet. The internal dimensions of the main body of the cathedral will be 127 feet in length by 61 feet, the height 47 feet. The 127 feet will probably be subdivided into a choir, a chancel, and a holy table precinct. The body of the cathedral, if fully pawed, will accommodate about 800 persons, and if galleries should be added hereafter, and chairs occasionally placed in the aisles, as is done in all the Calcutta churches on the great festivals, 1,300 or 1,400. The tran septs also, lantern, and western verandah, should they ever be wanted for congregations of catechumens or Sunday schools, would furnish above 400 additional seats. The ca pacity of the cathedral will not be less, therefore, than for 1,700 persons, but the arrangement of the sittings will be ruled by circumstances and the convenience of the congrega tion, as all the stalls, pulpits, reading desks, pews, and benches, are intended to be moveable."

That remedy, he thought, would be found n agreeing - to two resolutions, which he proposed ; one im on the suitoethe necessity of naming his counsel en. first day of the sitting of the committee; the other to ke it an order of the house that no counsel should attend sir, V counsel viding a remedy shGlild have closed its proceeding; Sir J. GRAHAM was not awart --„,e that there was any such in convenience in the present practice as should lead the house to make any alteration. The second resolution would prac tically have the eflect of pre% enting the suitor from selecting such counsel as he might, from their experience, be desirous of having. After some discussion, in the course of which it seemed to be admitted that the new mode of trying election petitions was a failure, Sir R. PEEL contended that they had not as yet any proof whatever that the present plan, which had been suggested by himself, was a failure. Mr. WA SON withdrew his motion, declaring, however, that he would not lose sight of the subject. The adjourned debate on the income tax was resumed by 11 , 1 r. BROTFIERTON, who admitted that in Manchester, and other places, there was not such an opposition to the income tax as he expected there would have been. (" Hear, hear," from Sir Robert Pi el.) The cause of this lie attributed to the fact that a new generation had arisen wholly ignorant of all the evils accompanying an income tax. The hon. mem ber concluded by declaring that he would oppose the in come tax as unnecessary. Colonel WOOD supported an income tax, because it would not fall on the great body of the people, and under existing circumstances was indispensable, for the purpose of extrica ting the country from its difficulties. Captain MANGLES said that at this moment the Indian go vernment had a loan open to it at five per cent., which was about equivalent to three per cent. in this country, whereas on former occasions they had borrowed at nine, at ten, and even at twelve and a half per cent. How then could it be said that the revenue of India was in such a state as to call upon this country to saddle itself with an income tax to re lieve it? The hon. and gallant captain concluded by stating that as yet there were no sufficient circumstances before the house to justify it in agreeing to an income tax, and he must therefore oppose its adoption. Mr. G. VERNON, in supporting the income tax, said he did so because he thought that two millions taken from the people by indirect taxation, was much more than two mil lions taken by an income tax. This was not with him a new opinion, for in 1816, he had voted in the minority against abolishing the income tax of that day. He bad then but one constituent—the Duke of Newcastle--and that noble lord was desirous of abolishing the tax. He told the duke that he thought the tax a fair and just one, and offered, as their opinions differed, to accept the Chiltern Hundreds. " No." said the duke, " you may vote according to your opinions, ! for I have spoken to all my members, and one half are going to vote for, and the other half against, the tax." (A laugh.) Mr. C. BULLER said that some observations which had dropped from Sir R. Peel appeared to him to be particularly ominous, as respected the duration of this income tax. He first proposed that it should continue for three years only ; a few days subsequently he talked of five years as the extreme period ; and since then he had intimated that at the close of five years it would be seriously taken into consideration whether the circumstances of the country would not eriable them to do without it altogether. The hon. and learned gentleman said it was common for hon. members who were pleased to be facetious—after the manner of country mem bers—to charge upon the whigs every difficulty which now existed. Thus, an hon. member on the previous evening had said that the late government had left the Canadian expendi ture and the boundary question as a legacy to their succes sors, forgetting that in all the policy pursued respecting Canada the late government majorities bad been swelled by all the members of the present gGverrin - eut, wl,!:•.; he (Mr. C. Buller) had all through disaopro‘ed of, and voted against that policy. And, again, on the c -of the bounda r y ques tion, if blame was to be attril; , anywhere it was to the present Chancellor of the Excl, who nad a share in the treaty at Ghent long before the %, .11gs came into power. He denied that the conservatives i any claim to the practice of economy, for he never rery .nbered more than two in stances in which any of thew had voted for a curtailment of expenditure—one was in saving £20,000 to the country by voting for the reduction of the proposed income to Prince Albert from £50,000 to £30,000 a year, and the other in voting against the very restricted grant to the College of Maynooth. The hon. and learned gentleman then contended that if the rival budgets (that of the right han. baronet, in cluding the new tariff and the income tax) were once more placed before the country on the hustings, the people would readily accept that of Lord J. Russell to the budget of the present government. Mr. BORTHWICK supported the proposition of the govern ment, but the noise in the body of the house was so great that the hon. member at length moved the adjournment of the debote. The gallery was cleared, but no division took place, and on our re►urn we found Mr. Borthwick still speaking and attacking the ministerial side of the house for their share in the interruption he had received, for upon their gratitude he had some claims, whereas he had none upon the other side. On the motion of another hon. member the debate was ad journed as soon as Mr. Borthwick sat down, Sir R. Peel ex pressing a hope that tomorrow night the house would come to a division with respect to the income tax, as until its opinion was expressed on that proposition it would be incon venient to bring the alterations of the tariff under the con sideration of the house. bs t int synkatmous, WIT W t " tWO!

Mr. HAWES said that the agricultural representatives were told that they had nothing to apprehend from the importa tion of cattle—that it would not materially affect the price of meat ; and yet, notwithstanding this, they were told by the right hon. baronet that any loss the middle classes might sus tain from the income tax- would be more than compensated by the cheapness by which his tariff would enable them to buy provisions. Could anything be more inconsistent than this ? How could they buy meat cheap, unless cattle were imported so as to affect the markets? He condemned the inequalities of the income tax, and thought it a dangerous one to be imposed, because it was calculated to render a minister extravagant when he found such an inexhaustible source at his command. He believed the result of the income tax would be to excite popular indignation against schedule D, and to finally lead to striking it from the bill, leaving the tax to apply to property only ; and should this be the result it would be a just punishment to the landed proprietors for the party politics they had adopted and pursued. Sir J. GRAHAM replied to the arguments of Mr. C. Buller on the previous evening, and, adverting to the strug gle which had been made by many hon. members, and more particularly Mr. Fox Maule, to postpone the consideration of the income tax until after Easter, asked whether that postponement had led to the excitement against the measure upon which they calculated? or, on the contrary, whether those honourable members were not now convinced that the people were satisfied with the measures of her Majesty's go vernment? The right honourable baronet then proceeded to deny that all the measures claimed by Mr. C. Buller for Lord Melbourne's government could be attributed fairly to that government. Catholic Emancipation belonged to the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel; and the measures of Reform and Municipal Reform belonged to the govern ment of Earl Grey. The only . measures which the Mel bourne Administration could fairly claim as their own, and which they had willed the consequences of to their succes sors, were—the war in China, the war in Affghanistan, and the affair of the Caroline in America. The government had to contend with the difficulties these legacies imposed ; and were united in the opinion that the measures they now pro posed were those which were indispensably necessary for the exigencies of the state. They submitted these measures, relying upon the wisdom of parliament, and upon the patriotic virtue of the people of England. Mr. F. BARING imputed to Sir James Graham a want of the temper becoming a statesman when he adverted to the difficulties which he said the late government had left as a legacy to the present administration. The right hon. gentle man then proceeded to contend that if the present govern ment should exceed in its experiment of the income tax, the ultimate result would be that a system of agitation would arise which would cause it to be abandoned in favour of a tax on property. He contrasted his own budget with that of Sir R.. Peel, and contended that if the produce of the income tax were to be added to what the late government proposed, the amount of revenue would be greater than it would be from the measures before the'house. Mr. FERRAND said that the measures brought forward by Sir R. Peel were so great that the opposition side of the house was staggered by their magnitude, believing their occu pation to be wholly gone. There was a universal shout throughout the whole of Yorkshire and Lancashire of God bless Sir R. Peel," owing to the fact that owing to his pro positions oatmeal was reduced 10s. a load and butcher's meat 2d. a lb. Lord WORSLEY could not support the resolutions of Lord' J. Russell, for the same reasons as actuated him last year, when he opposed his noble friend's proposition of a fixed duty on corn ; but although he could not support the resolutions moved as an amendment, neither could he support the pro position for an income tax, which he believed to be uncalled for and unnecessary. After a few words from Colonel SIBTRORPE the house di vided, and the resolutions of Lord J. Russell were defeated by a majority of 368 to 202. The report was then brought up and read ; after which Sir R. PEEL said that he proposed to bring in the bill founded on the resolutions of the committee on Monday next, and to fix the second reading for the Friday following. As soon as he had an assn, once that the income tax would be agreed to, he would take the earliest opportunity of bringing forward the alterations in the tariff. Mr. LABOUCHERE thought it was more important to pro ceed with the tariff than with the income tax. • .••., • ••,,,,•••• • Sir R. PEEL said he sho u ld p rocee d as .••••. rapidly as possible with the income tax, and when that was disposed of, or nearly so, he would proceed as fast as possible with the tariff. He wished it also to be understood that if he should be defeated on the tariff, he should feel it his duty to resign his situation as much as if he were defeated on the income tax. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned. ?gm*tin ?axon 3Coll44Powt-ThA Ain•lthir, Advertiser etaile a Purloin occurrence which took place et Maryborough last week, A man named Cameron had latcd sor e improper aseartions, calculated, in the opinion of I air villagers, to affect th e c h aracters o f severa l o f t h em , and which roused them to such a pitch of exasperation as to mace them discard the more tardy operation of the law, anti resolved upon inflicting at once summary and severe punish• went on the culprit. For this purpose, the whole women and children of the village rose en masse on Monday week, and proceeded to the house of the happless wight, who, much to his terror, had got some hint of their intentions, just as the infuriated crowd approached the door. To fly from the house was impossible ; and while the object of pub lic vengeance stood paralysed and trembling at the magnitude of the danger, his wife snatched him up by the " cuff of the neck," and in an instant had him locked up in her clothes chest, at the same time sitting on the lid herself for ad ditional safety. The crowd having burst into the house, every chink and corner was searched, until at last his place of concealment was discovered, from which, in the face of the prayers and entreaties of his poor wife, he was dragged forth, hoisted on a deal, and paraded through the village shoulder high, by the women and childern—the former taunting and jeering him, and the latter filling up the pauses with vollies of clods and other soft missiles. The next morn ing Cameron went to Dingwall and laid an information against the principal ladies concerned. In the evening he returned home, having procured a body of sheriff's officers. His tormentors, however, being acquainted with his visit to Dingwall and its object, a party of them collected about his door on his return, and, before his guard could interfere, he was pounced upon by half-a-dozen Amazons, lifted on the sharpened edge of a plank or " wooden mare," which had been previously provided, and again carried shoulder high through the village, in the midst of the noise, the yelling, and clodding of about three hundred women and children. The punishment at this time must have been severe, for, stopping in their course at the door of every slandered fair one, this object of popular anger was tossed and jerked on the sharp angle of the instrument of torture in a manner sufficient to cause acute suffering. The ceremony was to have ended by ducking him in a mill-pond ; but, after having made the tour of the village, he appeared so exhausted, that the idea was relinquished, and he was ultimately deposited at his own door. The matter is said to be under judicial investigation. - I)ipping Iti~lii Milt TUESDAY, Aran, 12.

Total quantities. Total amount. Price per quarter Wheat, qrs. 206 • 18 26&1`2 0 0 0 0 BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, APRIL 13. During the present week our market has net been so brisk for Wheat, and rather less money in scme instances was accepted. Holders would not, however, generally give way in price, and the transactions reported are I . mited. We have had a short supply of malting Barley, and fine qualities realise an advance of is per nuarter. English Oats less plentiful, add Irish more saleable at former rates. Beans are not so much pressed upon the market, but no improvement in value has yet taken place. LONDON COll . l . EXCHANGE. APRIL 11 The supply of English Wheat last week was.sm . all,aiiriwe had but littlis fresh arrived for this morning's market; the condition of the Wheat generally is much improved by the prevailing dry winds, and sales this morning were more readily effected, and at fully the prices of this day week. Foreign Wheat, duty paid, meets a limited demand. at last week's prices. There was no alteration in the value of Flour. Bonded Wheat being held for an advance prevented much business being done. We had a fair supply of Barley ; the sales were at fully last week's prices, with a fair demand for malting purposes, the cool weather being favourable to that trade. Beans being in short supply and in improved condition, were a ready sale at an advance of is per quarter. Peas of all descripions fully supported last week's prices, and the quantity at market was very small. The Oat trade was firm at the prices of last week, the supply being very moderate. WEDNESDAY, April 13. . _ The business has been at the prices of Monday, with a con siderable increase of demand for prime samples of English Wheat. The quality of the article from Essex and Suffolk is much improved by the dry weather, but there yet is a considerable supply of very inferior Irish Oats. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, APRIL 1 1 The good demand experienced yesterday has continued throughout to-day, and a considerable business has been done to the extent of 3000 bales, 1000 or 1200 of them by speculators. This is a new feature in the market, and may he taken as a slight indication that prices have bot tomed, which will give a tone of assurance, so much wanted for some time past. COTTON MARKET, APRIL 13 On Monday we had an increased inquiry for Cotton, which con tinued throughout Tuesday, but this morning (owing to the ex ceedingly flat feeling in Manchester,) there is less demand, and business doing. The sales do not exceed 3500 bales, at prices on a par with previous business. COTTON MARKET, APRIL 14 This morning our Cotton market opened with only a moderate demand, which however considerably increased as the day ad vanced, and a large extent of business has been estimated at 8000 bales, fully one-half on speculation account, (2500 bales by one house.) This has caused a firmer tone and feeling, and at the close of 'Change their appeared a little excitement. The supply is at present quite adequate to the demand,,so that a large business may yet be done without any advance in prices. 300 American also taken for export. LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATO MARKET, April 14. We have a pretty'fair supply Of Potatoesforwarded yesterday and to-clay's tide, both coastwise and from the Isle of Man.

APRIL 12 Still prevented by the continuance of easterly winds, we have no Grain, Flour, or Oatmeal of the least moment to report, either Coastwise or from Ireland ; and the only ar rival of Foreign produce since this day week is confined to 1400 quarters "%Par from Barletta. The reason assigned in the toregoing remarks, at the close of last week, continues to counteract any lively or important business with regard to all free articles of the corn trade. Having however, at this day's market a rather better attend ance of town and country millers, the sales of English, the best qualities of Irish, and most kinds of duty-paid Foreign Wheat were effected upon a moderate scale for immediate purposes, at the reduced rates of Friday, which were barely sustained. We have had, notwithstanding, rather an animated inquiry for bonded Wheats, which has resulted in sales of two car goes of white Tuscan at 525, one cargo of Stettin a little be low 51s, all for future arrival, the prices inclusive of cost and freight ; a cargo of Sicilian on the passage, the price of which has not transpired ; besides two parcels of French red Wheat, in store here, at 6s. 9d. and 6s. 7id. per 70 lbs. Of Flour under lock, 500 bls. of the finest quality brought yesterday 28s. per brl., and about 1200 qrs. hard Wheat ss. 4d. per 701bs. in Granary. English, Irish, and foreign duty-paid Flour remained in nearly the same state as described on Friday. Barley, Malt, Beans and Pease, continued to meet a limited demand, with little change in value from the terms of this day se'nnight. Oats, even ii; the face of an extremely short supply, were in very low request, and rather cheaper. Oatmeal likewise, appearing to attract little notice, scarely maintained our last quotations. . =Those kind friends who had reserved the promise of their votes in my favour, as an opponent of Mr. Bainbrigge's, will confer an equal obligation on me by recording them in his behalf on the day of election, and so insuring the Vacancy i❑ the Ladies' Charity, which I aspire to fill.
