be punished by act of parliament. It is made a '
crime to be inventive and industrious. The detri-
mental effects of excise taxation upon manufactures is
well known to all who are even superficially ac-
quainted with the history of distillation glass-
making in this country.
Some idea of the cost at which revenue is collected
by the excise may be derived from the estimate
which Mr. MACGREGOR, of the Board of Trade, has
made (from official accounts) of the er.oring effected by
emancipating from excise sur;eys (since 1833)
dealers in tea, wine, vinerrea, beer, stare, sweets.
home-made ,raie, and st',,t;bottles. Th.b abolition of
ana surveys, repeal of duties in the cases
of these commotaies, relieved from the excise sur-
veys 262,191 'persons. The average expense of surveys,
while the aealers in these articles remained subjected
to the surveillance of the excise, was upwards o
per head. The expense of surveys abstracted 72k per
cent. from the amount of the license duty ; the net
produce was only 37k per cent. of the 401,0041. paidby
the dealers. The extent of the irritation excited by
this costly as inquisitorial method of bur-gathering
may be inferred from the fact that while the gross
duty on vinegar was only 22,0001., to obtain this
trifling amount 72,970 persons were subjected to a
survey of their premises.
The excise laws have of late years been repeatedly
revised and greatly simplified. A return to an
been order of'
the House of Commons, which has just pub-
lished, presents a coup d'ccil of the improvement. The
object of this document is to show how far the
reforms suggested by the Excise Commissioners of
1833 have been carried into effect. The expense
of collection has been considerably reduced by abo-
lishing unnecessary offices and reducing exorbitant
salaries. By the consolidation of departments,
too, much unnecessary expenditure has been curtailed.
A more efficient check upon accounts has been
introsduced since the commissioners ceased to
accountants. The provisions of the acts relating to
malt, paper, soap, and bricks, have been revised and
amended, considerably to the relief of the trades
affected by them. The system of excise superintend-
ence on wine and tea has been abolis
hhed : it was
abolished also in the case of tobacco, thoug a modi-
fied survey on that manufacture has been introduced
at the suggestion of respectable persons concerned in
the trade, on the discovery of great frauds by adul-
teration. The excise duties on tiles, starch, stone
bottles, sweets, mead, home-made wines, and some
other minor articles, have been abolished. The
duties on soap and paper have been reduced one-

half.
The excise revenue has not been diminished
by these changes, though a mere glance at the
amounts of revenue entered under that head in
1832 and 1844 might leave the impression that it
had. The gross revenue from excise was about eigh-
teen millions in 1832 ; in 1844 it was about fourteen
millions and a half. But it must be kept in mind
that the return of 1832 included an excise duty. on
tea amounting to three millions and a half, since
commuted for an increased customs duty ; the duties
on pepper, wine, and foreign spirits since transferred
to the customs; the duties on coaches transferred to
the stamps and taxes.

Many important recommee.r.lons of the ext _
commissioners of 1832 remain, however, still to be
complied with. Among these is the suggestion
" that all excise business at the port of London and
the outports should be performed by customs officers."
This suggestion has since been matured and expanded
in a striking manner by Mr. MACGREGOR, in a valu-
able paper on the commercial legislation of England
and America, appended to the fifteenth part of his
series of commercial tariffs and regulations.
The excise duties from the beginning, and the cus-
toms duties since the introduction of the bonded
warehouse system, are purely taxes upon consump-
tion. At present the main difference between the excise
and the customs duties is, that the former are levied
upon articles of domestic produce, the latter upon
foreign imports. This distinction did not always
exist : tea,wine, pepper, foreign spirits, now remanded
to the customs department,were formerly subjected to
an excise duty. The nature of the scrutiny exercised
by the customs and the excise department, if minis-
ters concede (as they appear prepared to concede) the
just claims of the West Indians to have their sugars
and molasses permitted to be used in brewing and
distillation, and their rums admitted at the same rate
of duty as British spirits, will not materially differ.
The duties of excise and custom-house officers are
essentially the same. Why then be at the expense of
keeping up two establishments, when all the duties of
both might be discharged by one ?
Mr. MACGREGOR does not with the commissioners
of 1832 merely recommend that the excise business
" at London and the outports " should be performed
by customs officers: he proposes—on the principle
now recognised by the leading statesmen of both
parties, of' taxing no article with reference to its
origin—to place the collection of both classes of duties
under one revenue department, efficiently and intelli-
gently organised. The produce of excise for the Uni-
ted Kingdom in 1844 was 14,488,763/. Of this sum,
953,013/. was derived from auction duty, and the duty
on glass since abolished. Of the remaining thirteen
and a-half millions, nine millions were produced by
the duties on malt and spirits, and one million by
licenses. The total customs revenue of 1844, deduct-
ing articles of food and duties since abolished, was
twenty millions. Of this sum nineteen millions and
a half were raised upon eight articles. Mr. MAC-
GREGOR proposes to transfer the collection of the
license duties to the stamps and taxes ; to abolish all
other excise duties except those upon malt and spirits;
to abolish all customs duties except those upon the
first eight articles of his table—coffee and cocoa,
molasses and sugar, tea, foreign and colonial spirits,
wine, tobacco, foreign fruits, and spices. On the
expediency of limiting all indirect taxation to a
few great articles, we are not prepared to express
an opinion. On the economy and other advantages
of bringing the levying of all our indirect
taxes within the grasp of one economical
department there can be little doubt. In the words
of Mr. MACGREGOR :-" To render the excise as little
oppressive as possible—as free from inquisitorial inter-
ference with labour, manufactures, and trade, we con-
sider that, whenever the revenue can be levied equitably,
and less oppteasively, from any other source, we
should abolish all the remaining excise taxes, except-
ing the duties on distilled spirits, malt, and licenses;
and the collection of the two first of these might be
transferred to one new and effwient rerenuc depart-
ment to replace those of the existing customs and
excise, and which would collect the taxes on commo-
dities." The saving in collection that would be effected
by this arrangement Mr. MACGREGOR estimates at
half a million.

THERE is nothing like demonstrative evidence. A
tree is known by its fruits; and the best illustration
of a system is a case of actual occurrence resulting
therefrom. We have on several recent occasions
shown, or endeavoured to show, the absolute neces-
sity of leases and tenant rights for the safety of
tenant-farmers, and the consequent advancement of
husbandry. Probably our arguments have been
generally assented to; for the proposition that security
of tenure is indispensable to the farmer must be
so self-evident as to need only to be stated. It is a
truism. Yet it is a most notorious fact that, at this
moment, four-fifths of the tenantry of England are
utterly without security. They are trusting to the
accident of a good landlord. They may be subjected
to the confiscation of a large portion of their capital
employed in farming,—for, as a rule, tenants farm
better than, in strictness, it is prudent for a yearly
tenant to farm,—through the ignorance or error of
their landlords, or at their caprice, or that of their
agents. By a six months' notice the tenant may be
turned out of his farm, and the capital he has sunk in
the land must be left for the landlord. The law affords
no redress to the tenant, who can do nothing bat be-
wail the folly of his blind confidence, and warn others
against the working of a vicious system.
We have lately had placed in our hands the corre-
spondence between a tenant who has been turned out
of his farm and the landlord's agent, which affords a
striking illustration of the yearly tenancy system, and
must, we think, help to startle tenant-farmers into a
general and active effort of self-protection.
And it so happens in this case, that the landlord is
a gentleman whose benevolence is notorious and active,
nay, sentimental and chivalric. Mr. R. B. SHERIDAN
has put himself forward as the champion of the Dor-
setshire peasantry. At public meetings, in parliament,
and in print, his professions of zeal for the oppressed
labourers, and his denunciations of those he assumes to
be their oppressors, have been many, loud, and fre-
quent. That he should knowingly and willingly
oppress his own tenant, is therefore out of the ques-
tion. If his tenant has been oppressed, if he has been

PUNISHMENT OF DEATII.—A public meeting was
held last evening, at the Music-hall, Store-street, having for
its object the adoption of measures to promote the abolition
of the punishment of death. As we have already reported
at considerable length the proceedings of several similar
meetings, • brief outline only is necessary. Mr. Charles
Gilpin presided, and shortly expounded the principle on
witch the society advocates the abolition of capital punish-
ment—that of the sanctity of human life. In allusion to the
recent statement of the premier, that the treatment of cri-
minals was a question yet to be solved, he recommended to
his lordship's attention the course pursued by the late Mrs.
Fry. He expressed surprise at the tone adopted by the
Morning Chronicle on this question, when the reputed pro-
prietor, Sir John Easthope, had voted for the abolition of
capital punishment& six years ago. It might suit that paper
to go back, but the public were not going back on this ques-
tion. (Hear.) On the committee of this society were men
who had been accustomed to go from victory to victory ;
amongst its members were Richard Cobden, John Bright,
W. J. Fox, Charles Dickens, and Douglas Jerrold. (Loud
cheers.) But, better than all, the society had right on its
side. (Cheers.)—The meeting was addressed by Mr. Charles
Potter, the Rev. Henry Richards, Mr J. H. Parry, Mr. F.
Rowton, Mr. H. Vincent, and other gentlemen; and the
same resolutions as have been adopted at previous meetings
were submitted and agreed to, as were petitions to the legis-
lature founded thereon.
