LONDON, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14.

THAT the persons who direct the expenditure of
local taxation should represent those who pay the
rates does seem so much a thing of com' ae that how it
should be otherwise is to be wondered at. Yet so it

is—our county revenue is not levied or administerrd
by the county ratepayers or by any body responsible
to them. Gaols, lunatic asylums, bridges, and the
like, may be built in any county, with or without ne-
cessity, or in the best or the worst manner, for which
the rated inhabitant; are called upon to pay ; but who
controls the outlay ? Who is answerable for its pro-
priety? Who vouches that it is not jobbed? Why,
the most irresponsible body in the county—the justices
of the peace—levy and expend, without check, inter-
ference, or control, the whole of the county rates. It
is nothing to say that the justices are probably land-
owners in the county ;that possibly they pay consider-
able rates, and so have an interest in keeping down the
county rate, and in expending it judiciously. Possi-
bly as landowners and ratepayers, they may feel the
effect of too lavish an expenditure of county funds ,
eventually, but their estates are let to tenants who,
though they may have estimated the actually existing I
rates at the periods of their entry, are subject to all
increased rates. Besides, the class spirit of the county
justices is certain to misdirect the application of
county rates. Would the " poachers' wing" of Buck-
ingham Gaol have been built, had the county
expenditure been subject to the control of the rate-
payers of the county at large? On the other hand,
lit is both just and reasonable that the landowners ofl
the county on wham property the county rates ulti-
mately, to a considerable extent, fall, should have an
influential and concurrent voice in the management
of the county revenue and expenditure.
While, therefore, the present system can scarcely
find a defender who is not in the commission of the
peace for some county, no practical politician would
desire to exclude the magistrates from a share in ma-
naging the financial affairs of their counties. If the
best men amongst the county magistrates could be
selected to act with representatives of the ratepayers,
a very efficient board for managing the finance of
counties could be obtained. Amongst the magistrates
there are always men of business talent, and such are
sure to be chosen when any selection from the
body of the magistracy takes place.
Now the bill brought into the House of Commons
—which formed the subject of yesterday's debate—to
establish " count y financial boards," by Mr. MILNER
GIBSON, Mr. HUME, Colonel LINDSAY, and Mr.
Sturro ADAIR, conforms very much to such require-
ments.
It proposes that a financial board shall be
established in every county throughout England
and Wales, to consist of one person (not being a
justice of the peace for the county) to be elected by
the guardians of the poor of each anion and incorpo-
ration of parishes under GILBERT'S Act, and of so
many justices of the peace for the county, to be elected
by the ex-officio guardians of each union and inoorpo-
ration of parishes, as are equal in number to the whole
number of persons elected members of the county
financial board by the boards of guardians. Here we
have a finance board, representing, as to one-half of
its members, the rate-payers, chosen, it is true, by a
secondary election ; the rest of the members being the
magistrates elected by their own body resident in each
anion.
That such a finance board would prove a vigilant
land effective guardian of the county funds we have
no
doubt ; while, by the very process of election to be
adopted, the members would certainly be some
of the ablest men of their respective dis-
tricts. The county financial board thus consti-
tuted, would be a corporate body, all the county
property vested in it, and what is of most im-
portance, all powers, acts, matters, and things hereto-
fore wally exercised, transacted, and done by justi-
ces for counties at sessions, or by visiting justices, or
committees of justices, under any act of parliament,
or otherwise, relating to the making, assessing, and
levying county rates, and the expenditure thereof,
and the erecting, directing, and controlling all build-
ings, works, and establishments wherewith county
rates are in any way chargeable; and also the borrow-
ieg money, nominating county officers, and all the
other matters hitherto done by county justices are
proposed to be transferred to the county boards. All
Judicial powers are expressly reserved to the magis-
trates. Such are the principles on which the pro-
posed measure is based, and its details appear to be
carefully provided for in the draft bill. How, then,in
this useful measure likely to be received by the House
of Commons? The debate of yesterday in a great
"Iranswers that question.
GIRSON, in moving the Record reading, stated
that it was not intended to supersede the justices of
the pace, but simply to &ye the ratepayers of coun-
ties a concurrent control with the justices over the
empty expenditure. What he wanted was, that re-
peenestative control by the ratepayers should be added
to that of the justices. This principle had been
adopted in poor-law boards, and had there worked
harmoniously : why then should it not be applied to
the analogous case of county finance? likinetancod, as
evidences of defective control over county rates, that
la Lancashire the county rate had in one year
▪ Yorkshire
from 126,0004 to 176,0001., and that
in Yorkshire no leas than 200,0001. had been
expended in providing a gaol to accommodate 160
prisoners. Wu anything more needed to enforce the
principle that in county financial matters representa-
tion and taxation should go band in hand ? That
was all members who voted for the second reading
would pledge themselves to. And to such a reason-
able pledge few even of the squirearchy could directly
object; consequently they pleaded for delay. Mr.
firoorcza thought the bill had been pressed too
hastily on the house, and mooed to adjourn the de-
bate; Sir GEORGE Gasv, too, thought inquiry would
be necessary, and that the delay asked was not un-
I reasonable. When did the name Secretary ever see

anng uareesenable in a proposition et dot bey
landythiless* if it did not affect the political es party
interests of the ministry
Of wares Sir JOHN 'AI:INCHON wee he postpone-
ment also. He wen adorns to the prinsiplo a f the bill,
and wanted time to mature an aosendmati although
Mr. Homo reminded the home that the peones& was
net sew, that its principle had been recommended
lisig since by a commlttes of the hew, and that
the kenos of county rates was a growing and
geirreue evil. Sir Row= Pm, too, recom-
mended delay and inquiry, as did also Mr. Roz-
Ma! Mr. NEWDIOATZ disclosed the pinch
hit in the matter by the landed gentry,
when he mooed Mr. GIBSON of being
swim for the measure as seeking the repatation of a
lbenson's friend." such a suggestion spathe volumes
to the motives of the landlord members mantling
tide wet masenable measure. With this ill-disguised
dislike cad dlsingenuots oppaitioc, Lad lons
Roseau's emphatic statement that he was strongly
in favour of the introduction of the principle of the
bill, and would give his cordial support to the second
reading, contrasts advantageoudy, and in the end the
second reading was postponed to the 6th of March.
It would be well if the county constituencies should
gives hint to their menthen on the necessity for
some such measure as this. It belongs to that clam
of moderate and practically useful measures which
the lauded interest members try to shelve, and get
rid of by indirect means rather than open opposition.
It goes to their weakest point, the diversity of interest
and object which exists between them and the tenant
farmers, and it will need all the power and all the
tact of the liberal member., the representatives
ismiestroencies, to We this mossars, so salm-
iNio to farmers and other county rate payers, from
the tender mercies of the "farmers' friends."

Tus Tomes we' exceedingly indignant some time
back when it wu mud of being hostile to a
repeal of the advertisement duty, or of the taxes upon
knowledge. It declared itself quite above being
affected either by oompetition or considerations, arising
out of such trifles. Be this as it may, the Times yes-
terday came forth with an article strenuously opposing
any reduction of any taus, either on newspapers or
knowledge!
After coquetting with these, and indeed with all
other measures of liberal progress, as the session ap-
proached, the limes has already turned to pooh-pooh
or anathematise them all, finding, no doubt, that there
reigns a dead calm in public opinion, and that the
popular feeling, strained by protectionist or anti-
protectionist efforts, runs not very strongly for the
moment in any direction. Having 'spouted for the
last two months in the ranks of semi-libe-

ral opposition, the limes already takes its place
at the tail of the ministerial phalanx, and declares
with Lord JOHN RUSSELL that there shall be no ex-
tension of the franchise, no throwing open of the
press, no reform in colonial administration beyond a
mere make-believe, no foreign policy permitted ex-
cept in the direction of a rapid return to a CASTLE-
REAGH policy and the Holy Alliance. Instead of our
prime minibter meriting the appellation of "Finality
JACK," at this rate he will soon be dubbed " Retro-

grade JOHN."
The Times and Lord JOHN are wise in their gene-
ration, however. The latter will not extend the fran-
chise " this year." And the Times declares the repeal
even of the advertisement duty not seasonable. " The
present is not the time for it." Why the present is so
very unfavourable to such relief, perhaps the ministerial
subs who represent the Times on the treasury bench
will tell us. There is a surplus, and ministers on the
strength of it are lavishing their thousands. There is
the First Lord of the Admiralty, who wants 100,0004
for head money, to reward the slaughter of the
Dyalts. The Times party si ill vote that 100,0001.
with glee; bat they could not spare it from weighing
upon books, journals, and knowledge.
The Times pleads that it is better to pay off the
national debt. We remember the time when there
were five millions annually raised to be devoted to
paying off the national debt. Of these five
millions sterling, so voted and raised annually,
how many were spent in the actual reduction of the
debt ? Not one. Fearing that this humbug will be
exposed, the Times has other arguments in store, to
stave off what it dreads above all things, the di-
minution of the taxes on newspapers. if you must
reduce taxes, it says, diminish the duty on soap and
candles, malt, or tea. Right well does the Times
know, when indulging in such recommendation, that
the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER will not touch

a tax that brings in four or five millions. Whereas
the tax on advertisements, which scarcely exceeds
the late QUEEN DOWAGER'S petition, would make
no sensible subtraction from the credit side of the
Exchequer, whilst it would be a great relief to the
industrious and the strugglieg.
The advertisement duty, says the Times, " cer-
tainly presses with some ineqaality." We should
think so. " But, after all," continues our cotem-
porary, " few domestic servants advertise more than
a dozen times in their lives." And it might have
added " thousands upon thousands never advertise at
all." How much oftener they would advertise if they
had an untaxed opportunity, does not enter into our
ootemporary'e calculation. He is too intent upon con-
sidering how he may make these poor servants con-
tribute most to the paying off that national debt which
their masters have contracted.
The advertisement duty stands in a quite different
category from the other taxes on knowledge. For a
great portion of knowledge, in the eyes of such
philosophers as the Times, is a luxury that the poor
can do without. An advertisement for the needy man
is, on the contrary, at times, a necessity great as
his loaf, being often his loaf provider ; therefore this
is not to be compared with a tax on soap, or on books,
or on malt. The advertisement duty is a tax on the
first necessity of life, on the finding of employ.
After the bread tax, we know of none that so 101-1
1 peratively calls on the legislature to rescind it as the
advertisement duty. The teak, too, is easy, for the
sum is insignificant. And there is really but one
serious obstacle in the way of its repeal, and that is.
the interest of the Times newspaper, which Lord
JOHN Russets. duet not offend!
We limit our remarks at present chiefly to this',
duty, because we perceive that Mr. EWART is about
'to bring it forward singly, and that it stands on the
order-book for to-night. In considering the paper
duties, the arguments of the deputation which yester-
I day waited on the minister, afford ample materials.
We allude to them for the present merely in order to
give another amusing instance of Times ratiocination.
" Excluding Bibles and Prayer-books, which pay no
paper duty, there are few cottage libraries," it says,
" which weigh 10 lbs., and that have consequently
paid le. 3d. to the Exchequer." We concede the
fact, and we ask the cause of it? The reply ie
obvious: because books for general sale among cot-
tagers cannot be produced at cottagers' prices,
in consequence of these very taxes upon
knowledge. " Bibles and Prayer-books," the
Thou admits, "are to be found in great numbers
in these cottage libraries." Why ? The Tints itself
tells us, because "they pay no paper duty." Bibles
and Prayer-books, bsinir relieved from such duty, can
be produced at amazingly low prices : it is conse-
quently within the means of most cottager, to pro-
MO them : and the Times tells us that they do pro-
cure them. If they had the opportunity of precuring
works of utility and information at an equally low
rate, why shculd they. not procure such works also?
Bat the Times is right in one line of argument,
which is, that taxes on knowledge do not weigh on
the pockets of the poor so mach u the tax on malt,
tea. or spirits—because; in fact, the people can do
withoutintellectual food, whilst they will not dis-
pense with the excitement that is obtained through
I the stomach. Gin will be drank, whether it be
dear or cheap. Whilst books will not be read
if dear, and will only be attainable If
cheap. But whoever looks at the question in a
moral or a Christian point of view will not commit
the blasphemy of likening the tax on spirits to the tax
on books, and coolly telling the legislature and the
public ;hat they are all one, and that they weigh
equally upon the poor. So cold-blooded—indeed, so
Satanic a comparison, merely betrays a total absence
of moral sense.

THE NEW Putt.—We (limes) believe it ie no
longer a secret that it is her Majesty's gracious
intention to create Mr. Jones Loyd a peer, by the
title of Baron ()verstono.

FRANCE.
PARIS, WIDWISDAY, 6 30 r r.
The official announcement of the facts which I
communicated to you yesterday, respecting the divi-
sion of France into several military commands, appears
in the Moniteur to-day, u follows:
Gsesral de Castellani is appointed to the command of the
nth ..-::"t;ry 7,lsiac flisadeanti. Re will also have the
superior emnsund of the 14th Mid 16th military divisions,
the chief towns of which ars Nantes and Rennes. Genera
de Rostolan is named to the command of the Bth military
division (Montpellier). He will also have the superioveoin-
inend of the 9th and 10th military divisions, the chief met'
of whisk are Perpignan and Toulouse. General Geinevu
sow rommandisg the 6th military division, will, beside:,
Ihays the superior command of the 6th military diviaisa, the
chid town of which is Balances.

It may be remarked that General Castellano is
appointed at Bordeaux, an 'Monist city, and that he
oohiiiiiis a '.ties of departments is which then,
far los socialists than elsewhere. The legitimists,
who share in an alarm that is somewhat general an
to these appointments, see in that of General card.
lane especially a blow aimed at legitimacy, and
are full of anxiety in ommcquence.

The Union says:—" We are informed that the
oommand of the zone of the north is reserved to G.,n.
Changarnier, who will thus join to the army of NH.
the command of the troop in garrison in the 2nd
3rd, and even the 16th divisions." ,

The question of education again brought M. niers
to the tribune of the Legislative Assembly to-day,
In his speech yesterday, M. de Montakmbtrt tied
urged:

g eeeee I, chosen by universal suffrage. Much had tweet said
but their influence in that body would be altogether neffin
in comparison with what would be produced by the prism:
of all the bishops of France in the academies. In tact, tt,
was only just that this body of men should sic in the oe-
partmental academies, since they had been the first to ,!e-
-mend freedom of instruction. They were to sit there, rot
as the delegates of any one, not even of their own celleaeues,
but as the head of the church in their diocese, to watch nor
private schools and control the official on's. He might
serve that if there wan any instinct in the French e. •,
which was really strong-which had resisted even th, sfi.
of revolutions-it was a reverence for the bishops and to.:r
influence in all that appertained to matters of moiety.
(Murmurs on the Left.) The instinct of France, in toe.,
could not comprehend that any body should exist for '.he
purpose of watching ever matters connected with mend y
without the high dignitaries of the church being inclu.!•,' n
it. Thus, then, the departmental academics will moist •d

Among the causes of this were, Ist, the democratic
