I SPORTING INTELLIGENCB.
GOODWOOD RACES.—FeiDer.
The fourth day at Goodwood, as at A.econ is in,,z_
riably the moat agreeable to recut men, and to those
who prefer quiet enjoyment to the bustle and excitement
of the more important events. Yesterday was no ex-
eePtloll. The company were sufikiently numerous to
give animation to the course, the fields for the Cups
large, the sport excellent, and the weather delightful;
the " wind-up," in shortepessed off with all the eclat
that distinguished the meeting from its commencement.
Of the management we are enabled to speak in the
highest terms. We did not hear one of the judge's .de-
visions called in question, although many of the races
were remarkably close. The weighing, extensive as
were the fickle, was got through with rapidity and
correctness, the only
complaints we heard being. that in
two or three cases the numbers

against the decision and detioss against the Duke were
threatened by several of the parties. The `‘ jastice-room"
was in the awed, and the cases were • adjudicated upon

The adjourned special meetieg of this cocspanJ was
held yestordsy at the Guildhall-nuildiegz, to con-
fider the expe6iency of creating debenture or preference
ebareo under the provisions of the Act recentlylpasied;
Mr. S. M. Peto, M.P., in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN said the subject fur which they had
been called together heel given t:: a directors great
anxiety. They_were highly indebted.: to. Mr. Chapman
and-eater membera of the committee of conseltation ap-
pointed to co-operate with the directors in the matter.

prospers o' the cornenny, he might be allowed 7.0 state
that the truffle returns show a must greofyinie ieerease
of receipts during the
present year, as compared with
the correspoilolug period of the preceding year when

traffic. There was everyof ‘vhaptrmossieet that the traffic would
continue to increase. The exertioas that had been made
at their outports in connexion with steam navigation had
contributed in. no smell degree to this result. In the year
1849 there were imported into this country 185,378
head of cattle; in 1850, 217,243; and in 1851, 303,976.
The proprietors would feel that the effort on the
part of directors and some large -shareholders, who
telt it their duty to start in connexion with this com-
pany steam-vessels from Lowestoft, had been directed in
the right course, and that it would greatly contribute
to the benefit and welfare of the Norfolk company in
securing a fair proportion of the traffic. They began
with one vessel in 1849, they added another in 1850,
and they added a third in 1851, and their trade at
Lowestoft was now so large that they were not able to
accommodate it all, although they had three vessels of
700 tons burden each constantly at work. He hoped
that the large accommodation which was now being
provided would give an impetus to the traffic of the
railway. He was satisfied that this movement by some
oftnelargest shareholders, and by other companies on
the eastern coast, to extend the system of steam naviga-
tion to the north of Europe in connexion with that impor-
tant element of traffic, through booking, would be at-
tended with the most successful results. They all knew
that his friend Mr. Roney had carried out that system
is connexion with the Irish traffic, whereby passengers
and goods may ho booeked frcm England to any
part of Ireland, and it; was their intention to do the same
thing, through Mr. Roney's agency, by means of the
Norfolk, the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire,
the Midland, and the London and North-Western Rail-
way
to any part of the north of Euro
companies, to bock through from any part of Eng-

Mr. Tem seconded the motion.
n

A PROPRIETOR said, it appeared to him that the de-
benture debt of the company had been increased to the
extent of 34,000/. since February last.
he C}fAiumaw was happy to say that the increase
alluded -to would not inert:me the annual charge on
the company. They might recollect there was a rent-
charge of 1,0001. a ye :1r for the Lowestoft Harbour,
and -that by the Act they were bound, within 10 years
of its passing, to exercise the option of taking it
at 25 years' purchase, or at 4 per cent. The
company had purchased it by giving a debenture for
25,0001. at 4 per cent., and this was part of the increase
in the debentures. With reference to other matters,
the directors thought it wise to take a certain margin.
and they created debentures and placed them in the
hands of Mr. Glyn, in the names of three trustees, to
meet any claims that might come against the company,
for they had no power to increase the capital alter the
4 per cen:. stock was issued.
Major COURT said it eppeared to him that the direc-
tors had ci.ee.ed a hrger amount of debentures than they
ware tinthorised to oo by Act of Parliament.
The CnarnmAry stated, in reply, that they were
24,0001. witain the amount they were authorised to raise
upin debentures, a fact which the Lion. Proprietor
should have every opportunity of satisfying himself' upon
if he would call at the cffiee.
The rescAution was then unanimously adopted.
Resolutions were also passed, fixing the deposit at 2/.
per share, and the two first instalments at 1/. each, the
succeeding instalments not to excted 21 each, with in-
tervals et three months between each call; etapuw,riug
the director 4 to agree with any proprietor who may be
deairoui ot paying up his shares in lull; and authorising
8,707 of the said shares to be offered to the holders of.
new 201. shares according to the provisions ot the Act.
rateably according to their holdings, and any shares not
taken up to be disposed of by the directors for the bene-
fit of the company.
On the motion of Mr. TITE, a cordial vote of thanks
was passed to the chairman and directors,' and the meet-
ing separated.

ABDUCTION.
An accident of an unusual, not to say romantic and
extraordinary character, has given within the last day
or two a public notoriety to the name of a small town-
ship in the neighbourhood of Bristol, which, after some
recent electioneering proceedings there, was, to say the
least of it, quite unnecessary. The rector of the parish
has sundry lair daughters, and not many weeks since one
of them (the youngest) Ives united in the bonds of wed-
lock to tee man of her choice, a gay and dashing son of
Mare, an officer of the Indian army. Without the
smallest intention of imputing sordid and mercenary
motives, we may mention that in the neighbourhood its/
said to be an acknowledged fact that with the young 160
herself " money".was the primary consideration.

THREE PILOTS DROWNED.—lnformation has been
received at the Trinity-house, Newcastle, of the loss of three
pilots belonging to Shields, while off Whitby, on the morn-
ing of the 26th, in one of their coblee. A Danish sloop,
named the Anne Mararitha, was coming along the Yorkshire
coast to the Tyne, when she was hailed by the pilots, wio.
desired to go on board. The sloop was steered by a boy, and
was carrying a large square sail. By some awkwardness on
the part of the boy at the helm of the sloop, while the call
was coming alongside her mast got entangled with the sloops
bowsprit, and she was upset. Before the sloop could becvr.o o,,r°
round, the three men in the coble had perished. Thet Die.!

THE INCOME-TAX COMMITTEE.
The following drafts of report and resolutions
w 1-e respectively submitted for consideration by Mr.
Hume, Mr. Sotheron, and Colonel Rimilly to the
Select Committee of last session on the income anl
operty-tss t
Drafz of Report proposcd (Mr. Hums), brought up, and

reed a iire time.

Your Committee, vv- 111ch—;va;aPpointed "to inquire
into the present mode of assessing and collecting the in-
come and property-tax, and whether any other mode of
levying the same, so as to render the tax more equitable,
can be adopted," have proceeded in their inquiry, and
have examined witnesses thereon, and have come to re-
solutions which they have agreed to report to the
House.
Your Committee began their inquiry in the examina-
tion of Mr. Pressly, the intelligent Commissioner of
Inland Revenue, and of other public officers of that de-
partment, whose evidence will afford full details of the
manner in which the income and property-tax has
hitherto been assessed and collected.

They also examined Mr. Farr, of the General RPgis
ter-office, under whose direction the English Life Table,
referred to by the other witnesses, was constructed, as
to the general principles upon which a tax could be
assessed equitably upon all property. and as to the prac-
ticability of eonstruciing tables which might facilitate
the assessment of an equitable property-tax.
The results of the inquiry of your Committee are sub-
mitted under three separate branches, as the best means
of bringing the subject more distinctly under the con-
sideration of the House, viz :-
1. On the present mode of assessing the income and
property-tax.
2. On the present mode of collecting the same.
3. Whether any other mode of levying the income
and property-tax, so as to render it moo equitable, can
be adopted, and observations thereon.
I. ON THE PRESENT MODE OF ASSESSING THE INCOME

AND PROPERTY-TAX.
1. That it appears by the evidence before the Com-
mittee, that the assessment under the Act for granting
to ber Majesty duties on profits arising from property,
professions, trades, and offices, violates the principles of
equitable taxation in several respects.
That many alleged instances of hardship, inequality,
and abuse under the existing Act have been pressed
upon the attention of your Committee; that circum-
stances did not allow your Committee to investigate the
cases of individuals from whom applications and state-
ments of their grievances had been received, but com-
pelled it to confine the inquiry to the general operation
of the Act on large classes of the community.
INEQUALITIES IN THE ASSEEPMENT OP REAL AND
PERSONAL PROPERTY.
2. That the property in lands, tenements, heredita-
ment', or heritages (under schedule A) is not assessed
uniformly in the several perishes all over the country;
and that it is in no case assessed on the net annual rent
or income derived from such property, but is assessed
generally on the gross or rack-rent thereof, without any
allowrnse being made for the necessary outlay in the
repairing and upholding of the perishable parts of such
property, or for the losses incurred in various ways in
the management.
3. That in certain cases of fines of manors, or of leases
renew property,
arc for terms of years, the copyholder ae(l
eas
holder, who have partial interests only in the le
arc taxed on its full value, which is defined to be the
rack-rent at which the lands are worth to be let by the
year; they have no right, by the Act, to deduct the tax
chargeable on the lord of the manor or the landowner,
who is also taxed on the amount of his fines. Neither
have life-tenants, nor tenants for short terms, the right
of recovering the proportion of the tsx justly chargeable
on
the persons in posseitiort of the reversion; and where
large, lasting improvements are effected by tenants for
limited terms, they are taxed upon the fullvalu of the
property, which belongs to the landlord at the termina-
tion of their tenancy.

4. That id respect to property in houses, the injustice
of the assessment is greater than it is in respect to
lands, as the rent of houses includes not only the profit
of capital, nut a part of that coital which, in certain
classes; of houees, constitutes a considerable portion of
the rent; and no allowance is made for the loss of rents,
for insurance, or for repairs.
5. That in respect to property in canals, dockl,
ways, and other works, as well as lumines' and rail-
quarries
which may he exhausted, the assessment is also unjust,
as the tax is in many cases levied not on the profi:, only,
but on a part of the capital; and also on that part of the
dividends which, in speculative undertakings, can only
be considered ,in the light of a premium of insurance
against the risk of loss of capital. This b clearly
shown by the dividends and the prica which such stock
bears is the market.
6. That under schedule C several classes of the public
creditors are aseessed unequally and unjustly; that
whilst the holders of the Three per Cent. Annuities in
perpetuity are assessed at the rate of 7d. on every 20e.
of profit or interest, the holders of life and terminable
annuities are taxed at the rate of 7d. on every 203. of
the annuity; which consists of the interest of the capital,
and a part of the capital repaid, variable in amount,
which the dividends of such annuities always include.
Thus, as an example, at the prosent price of Government
stock, the capital returns a profit or interest of 3 per
cant. per annum; whilst the market value of the Long
Annuities of 1,210,7981. in England, quoted at 61 years'
purchase on April 6, 1852, after the opening, was
8.021,5371., the profit or interest on that amount was, at
the rate of 3 per cent. per annum, 240,6461.; and a:tsx
of 7d. in the pound on this profit would amount to only
about 7,019/.•' but the tax actually levied on the Long
Annuities in England is 35,3151.; viz., 7d. in the pound
on the interest (240,646/.), and 7d. in the pound on the
returned capital, 970 1524,which is included,ia the yearly
dividends of 1,210.7981.*
The annuitants of this class are therefore taxed in the
year at the rite of 35 pence in the pound on their pro-
fits; and, inasmuch as the interest decreases every year
as the capitol declines, it follows, that if the tax of 7d.
remain the same, the rate of t,:xstion in the pound will
every year lacreese, until the term of the. annuity ex-
pires (in 1860).
And all the holdrTs of terminable and life annuities
are aeeessed on their profits and capital in like manner
unjustly, some to a leas, and others to a mach greater
excess. _ .

And if the income-tax of 71 in the pound should be
continued until 1860, tho excess of taxation levied under
it, on the Long Annuities alone, will amount at interest
to more than 635,6701 _ _ _

funds is exempt. The lend° "mere of England and
Scotland, in fact, pav for the protection of the property
of the landowners of Ireland, who are resident there or
on the continent.
It has been stated to your Committee as possible, un-
der the exemption, that a person having 5001. a year of
income, by lending money to persons having incomes
less than 1501, may be exempted from the income, tax
upon that portion lent to such persons; and further, that
a person having an income under 1601, and having bor-
rowed money, may deduct the tax from the lender, al-
though he, the borrower, should not have paid any tax,
and thus not only evade the tax, but make a profit by
the exemption.
That a direct tax should not be levied upon the whole
of the population; for as the poor, including the infirm,
the aged, the helpless, tho widow, fatherless childtr,
and others, are supported partially, by the community
under the poor-laws, it would be unwise,
and in everyh
ay inexpedient, to tax them in a state of want. T
e

families with the here neceseariea of lne should also be
exempted from the payment of direct taxes, on tbe

ground that one large class of the community i 3 sup-

often repeated, that the tax on the labourer is really a
tax on the master, by whom it is paid in wages; and the
steptaoidooblyleothtiet
maxim is partially true. Butt

family must suffer pressure before the wages are raised
amtagseteera,tit is highly
and the tax is recovered. To levy the tax on the indi-
gent poor, or on the unskilled labourers, in order to ex-
tract from them taxes which are paid out of the revenues
of the wealthier classes, is indefensible on financial
capitalized

a
grounds, and cannot be sanctioned by your Committee.
Thatpersons

exempt from direct taxation, your Committee believe
to be expedient;
and the same value should also be left
exempt from taxation, and be deducted from the indus-
trial property of every person who is taxed, which
would be a material relief to all the persons on weekly
wages and small salaries, while it would be in itselt per-
fectly equitable.
Your Committee recommend that, with this exception,
all the property in the United Kingdom, and the capita-
lized incomes of the industrial classes should be assessed
at an uniform and equal rate. As the revenue of the
country is expended for the protection of pro-
perty, or of personal rights, and for objects of na-
tional utility, your Committee can see no valid reason
whatever why every subject of her Majesty should not
be taxed in proportion to his means. To levy a tax on
a small portion of the owners of the property of the
country is inequitable and dangerous.
11. ON THE PRESENT MODE OF COLLECTING THE INCOME

AND PROPERTY TAX.
11. That your Committee have taken evidence on the
mode of collecting the tax, under the several schedules,
end on the various ways in which exemptions are
claimed. They find generally that the commissioners, the
clerks, assessors, and collectors are not appointed by and
are not rufficiently under the control of the Bard of
Inland Revenue; in consequence of which irregularities,
inequalities, frauds, and defalcations may occur in the
assessment and collection, which, tinder a simpler, more
intelligent and more responsible administrative ma-
chinery, might to a great.extent be avoided. Instances
have occurred in which, by the default of collectors and
their sureties, the people of a district have had to pay
the tax twice over; in other instances the revonne has
sustained a loss. _ _ _

Under schedules A, C, and E a Large portion of the
income and property tax is collected indirectly; that is,
the tax is deducted at the Bank of England from the
dividends of the fundholder; at the Exchequer or other
public offices, and by the East India Company, from the
interest payable on securities or bonds; at the public
of ees from salaries, stipends, and nensions payable by
her Majesty, and from the offices of various eourts and
corporations; while under schedule A the tax is col-
lected from the occupier, who, if he is the tenant only,
is empowered to recover the duties chargeable on rent
from the landlord. Landlords again can recover from
others having an interest in the property, at the like
rate, namely, by a deduction from rent-charges under
the Act for the Commutation of Tithes, from annuities,
fee-farm rents, rent services, quit rents, feu duties, toind
ditties, stipends to licensed euraies, or other rents or an-
nual payments thereupon reeerved or charged. It is the
opinion of many of the officers in the revenue depart-
ment, that the whole of the: tax on realized property
cannot be collected from its owners; and there can be
no doubt that the stoppage of the tax out of interest,
rents, and salaries, as it is called, at the sourer, at
present practised, does present, in many cases, un-
usual facilities of collection : the revenue is secured
from loss, the expense is diminished, a degree of
secrecy is preserved, and the tax collector encounters
fewer obstacles and less resistance than he might meet
with in collecting the tax directly, as under schedules
B and D, and (intisr the assessed taxes. As, however,
the greater number of the Bank dividends, as well as the
rents of land and houses are paid by small portions,
which b long to persons some of whom have more, and
some less, than an income of 150/., much trouble, con-
fu,ion, and fraud spring out of the system nndor which
persons are called upon to make the great variety of
complicated returns enumerated in schedule G ; but are
not required to return the whole amount of their
property and profi:s from the sevaal sources in a single
schedule.

111. WHETHER ANY OTHER MODE OF LEVYING THE
INCOME AND PROPERTY TAX, SO AS To RENDER
IT MORE EQUITABLE, CAN BE ADOPTED ?
12. Teat your Committee bas, officers en-.
gaged in the revenue department, examined actuaries,
statists, political economists. and other witnesses who
are practically conversant with the valuations of annui-
ties, and have devoted mach attention and thought to
the subject of this inquiry. Various plans for levying
the tax more equitably have been brought under its no-
tice ; find it appears evident to your Committee that to be
equitable the tax shoul.l every 3 ear be levied on the value
of the property, labour and skill being the property of
large classes, of the country; and that each person having
more than a minimum amount of income should contri-
oate in proporiion to the share of that value in his pos-
session. The tax would thus become in the strict sens.,
of the word a prop.,rty-tax, and each person would be
taxed in propuition to Lis ability; which is measured
more accurately and expre,sed more clearly by the value
of the property in his possession under the protection of
the State, than by any other standard.
The value of the property of each person is best de-
termined by the sale value of his interest in real and
personal estate; and by the capitalised value of his in-
come derived from skill and industry. The quota on
which he would thus be assessed would be the nearest
approximation to the price for which his estate would
sell, or to the value of which he would be deprived by
its loss arid the loss of his industrial income.
_ Various examples of assessments of this kind have
teen submitted to your Committee by the several wit-
eases, from which the following have been selected:—

value of the annuity, is in all cases equivalent to a corre-
sponding tax on the interest; and thus, in all cases, if
the income is reduced to a net form of profit, it, as well
as the property, may be made the basis of assessment.

advisable to collect the tax, as at present, from the
occupiers; except, perhaps, in the case et houses under

The impossibility of collecting the tax from the
owners of realized property. particularly of unproductive
property, has been strongly urged before Sour Com-
rcittee by
a Commissioner of Inland Revenue and by
others; but the evidence of gentlemen from America,
whom yt;ur Committee had an opportunity of examining,
proves that the assessment and collection of such tax is
in several States in full operation, and is effected without
difficulty.
The policy of assessing and tamieg pictures, or other
articles that are for the improvement at art and science,
is deserving the favourable consideration of parliament,
if it should be determined to assess unproductive as well
as productive property.
In the United States all property is charged, whether
productive of interest to unproductive, as furniture and
pietures, and a tax is revied on bo'h uncle! the head 'of
real property and of personal property; but no tax is
levied on professional profits. The only exemption is
on household furniture, of the value of 250 dollars.
14. Time the whole of the property in annuities, divi-
dends, and shares of annuities payable to any person,
body politic or corporate, company, or society, whether
corporate or not corporate, our. of any public revenue,
should be levied on the respective prices of such an-
nuities, assessed on days in each year, to be fixed by
Act.
When the price of stock falls considerably, funded
property suffers a real depreciation, and it is ,then unjust
to tax such stock on the amount of the dividends. a
part of which every prudent fuodholdor should set aside
as insurance against the possible loss of capital. The
levy of the tax on the sale value of the stock, and hot
on the dividends, in time of depreciation, would also
tend to keep up the price of the funds and support
public credit.
As the value of life and terminable annuities dimi-
nishes every year, the assessment of the tax involves mere
arithme;icel leheur than a uniform aseesneent mere
dividends, but this labour may be very much abrin.4.eh4
by guiiauie tables; and, on the same principle that the
premium is made uniform in ordinary cases of incurancf,
the tax on a life, or a terminable annuity, may be made
uniform, if it he desirable. Examine, of seen calcula-
tions are given in the evidence, and in the
e ppendix.
The additional trouble of collection, which is re-
solvable entirely into expense, may very well
be incurred in order to make the tax equitable ; and
if the calculations were made with the greatest minute"
ness, the expense of the collection of this . direct tax
would be considerably less than the expense incurred in

bat they may be reduced to three, which agree essen-
tielly, and only differ in form, or in degrees of accuracy
R's aPPliCalk) to individual cases.
The
tists, and a reference to their evidence throws much
fjeteiminee exineined several actuaries and sta-

light on this suej, ct.
the tax on the portion of the income derived from the
to assess
1", it has been proposed, by one witrlesg
capital invested iu business, as if the income were a per-
petual annuity; to dedult this from the entire income;
to capitalise the residue as a life annuity, subject to
some deduction for sickness, and then to tax it on the
varying perpetual annuity into which it may at each age
be converted. Your Committee has already shown that,
in principle, a tax, at any given rate, on income. di-
vested of all addition for ri,k- and for capital returned, is
equivalent to a tex on property.
By the second mode. To make the calculation more
simple and intelligible, it has been proposed to take an
average age, and to assess the tax on the income of per-
sons in professions as if they were all of that age; thus,
4d. in the pound, it is said, on an income for life bears
the same relation to the net profit as Bd. in the pound
ou tee rent of an estate held in fee-simple; while in
trade. where much capital is embarked, 6 I. in the pound
would be about the equitable tax on income. A plan of
this kind has been suggested by witnesses of great saga-
city and technical knowledge; and the only objection
which can bo justly made against it is, that while it may
be nearly correct as applied to classes, it is a half mea-
sure of justice to individuals, some of whom it would
overtax, others undertax. It possesses the writ, how•
ever, of simplicity, and the result coal,' not in extreme
cases ba more' than half so far from a true 'assessment
as the present system, which taxes all life incomes, in-
clueing returned capital, at the same rate as perpetual
annuities, consisting ot interest only.
By the third mode proposed for snaking the tax more
equitable, the tax is to be assessed at one uniform rate
upon all kiLls of property; that is, upon the present
capitalised value of industrial incomes, which are called
inherent property, as well as upon all external property,
whether persanal or real. This mode appears to your
Comthittee both equitable and practicable. It has been
shown in the evidence that by usiog the English Life
Table, and taking the interest of money at risk in trade
at 5 per cent., the tex on the value of industrial incomes
can be assessor] with an approximation to accuracy suffi-
ciently near for all practicable purposes. It has also
been proved to the satisfaction -of your Committee that
tables may ba framed of as easy application in all ordi-
nary caees es the common tables of interest; and tables
lies- b-en given in as an example. The mode of dealing
with linxed cases is a matter of detail into which it is
unnecessary to enter. Where persons in trade, or
farmers, do not or will not re urn their age and the
asneunt of capital in tee' business, as well as the profit,
no allowance can be made for the lower value of the lite
income. These profits must be taxed at about 16 years'
purchase. like the rents of h)ue,s.
Your Committee examined Mr. John Stuart Mill,
Mr. Charles Babbage, and Mr. Henry Warburton, whose
particular attention has been given to the question of
taxation; and these gentlemen have stated Wily their
particular opinions, which it will be found differ very
materially.
Mr. Mill is of opinion that taxation should take into
account not solely the comparative means of the contri-
butors, but also their comparative wants, and that
equality of taxation consists in demanding from all
contributors an equal sacrifice of their enjoyments. As
the possessors ot temporary incomes have usually to
provide by saving for their own future wants, or for the
wants of others, while those whose incomes are perms.
nent are not under this necessity, he thinks it unjust to
tax both classes of income at the same rate; but he wood
not capitalise them and tax'them at their selling value;
he thinks that full justice would be done to the tempo-
rary incomes by exempting from taXetioa as much of
the income as is annually saved, so as to make the tax
in fact, a tax on expenditure. If from difficulties of ex-
ecution this plan was deemed impracticable, he would
adopt that of taxing temporary and precarious incomes
on a lower scale than permanent incomes. If real or
permanent property be taxed at 7d. in the pound on the
net income, he would tax temporary incomes at 7d. in
the pound on three-fourths of the net income, and on
those that are noteonly temporary but precarious at ed.
in the pound on three-fourtas of the net annual income.
He would tax realised property on destent by a gra-
duated tax on legacies and inheritances, as is done under
the Legacy Tax Act. It has been suggested also by Mr.
Mill, that the justice of extending an income-tax to the
poorer classes must depend on the amount of indirect
taxes that are levied on articles of general consumption,
which fall on those classes in a greater proportion to the
aggregate amount of their incomes than upon the wealthy,
classes; and that observation demands the serious consi-
deration of Parliament, if the income-tax is to be made
permanent.th affordt
the
amount There are many other modifications, which
the evidence will explain in detail.

EXEMPTIONS FROM TAXATION.
s.Committee have given much consider-
ationl to Thatthe you:
that. are or may be, allowed in
the assessment of a property.: tax. Upon' geoerel
principles, no valid reasons can be shown why any con-
siderable ?tart of the property of the country, whether
productive, or in the form called by some unprednctive,
should be exemp'ed from taxation; as the effect of such
exemptions is to throw an undue share of the pubic
burdens upon the owners of property in another form
The only limit of the taxation on realised property
should, in the opinion of
your Committee,
culty or expense of assessment and collection;; the
policy of exempting pictures and articles for improve-,
ment of art being kept in view. As regards industrial
incomes many witnesses recommend that the tax should
not, under the present mixed systeni of direct and in-
direct taxation, in any
case descend lower than to in-
comes of a certain amount. Your Committee advise that
the tax on industrial incomes should not descsnd below
501.; and to render the tax equitable, that NU should
which would be equivalent to deducting
be deducted from the capitalised value of every industrial
about
321.inc° fmr;:m' the income of each of the younger or better
class of lives.
19. Your Committee, in conducting these inquiries,
has had to assume that the tax is to be a permanent
part of the taxation of the country. The evidence of
the witnesses, and the modifications by which the tat
may be levied more equitably, proceed upon that as-
sumption. The tax was imposed in a depressed state of
the revenue, after other taxes had failed; upon one hand,
as a temperary mete ure to cease in three years; on the
other, in the words of the Minister by whom it was
proposed, e to lay
the foundation for a juater principle of
t ixstion," as well as to enable him to make great altera-
tion in the duties ou imports and excise. Tae results
of the policy which- was then adopted, and has siuce
been continued by Parliament, prove that a large direct
tax can be collected with lass expense than an indirect
tax; and the increase of the revenue, from 52,315 4391.
in 1841, to 57,401,0111. in 1851, leaves no doubt that it
interferes fees with the trade and industry cf the people
than the Excise and Customs duties, for which it was
substituted. It appears further to yen' Committee to
be of the greatest importance, with a view to the future
equitable taxation of the country, that Parliament
should, in the first invarce, decide whether a property
tax is or is not to be permanently levied.
Your Committee is convinced that the income-tax, in
its present form of inequality, cannot be made a per-
manent tax, The inquiry estatilishes the truth of the
public judgment on its injustice. It leaves no doubt, at
the seam time, that a tax assessed on the value of all the
Property, and on the capitalised industrial incomes of
the population, would be, in theory and in practice,
more equitable than the present taxes. A tax exclu-
sively on the rent of laud, on the rent of hen es, on
wages, or on any single class of property, as well as a
general tax on ail propertiee in no constant proportion
to their value, depresses prices and alters exchangeable
values. It produces a depreciation of the taxed pro-
perty, and is, in fact, as far as the inequality goes, a
confiscation. A partial, or an uneven or uncertain tax,
unsettles the security of property, nod paralyses indus-
try. If, under the pretence of convenience in c dlection,
or of difficulty in assessieg the tax equitably, 3 per
cent. is taken from the interest of capital in one form,
and 14 per cent, from the interest of capital in another
form, and nothing at all from the interest of capital in
a third form, it will diffuse a general sense of insecurity
in the minds of all persons possessing property, as no
one can foresee hoar far a system which violates the
principle of e
The progresscarried. of financial, as well as of other branches
of knowledge, has been great since the income-tux was
imposed by Mr. Pitt; and Parliament, in imposing
lessee, is bound to take this progress and the progress of
public opinion into account; hence your Committee con-
e hider, that whatever may be thought of the revival of
the income-tax, in all its old forms of inequality and in-
justice, in 1842, the time has come, after the experience
of ten years, for making it more equitable.
It is not the office of your Committee to enter into
administrative details; but that the assessment and levy
of a just tax on property is practicable, and that such
an approach to a correct assessment can be made as
would be more satisfactoryno the country than the pre-
sent tax, year Coaa...aia,,e, after directing, eauaideraele
time to the inquiry, unhesitatingly assert; and no trou-
ble or efforts to render the system of taxation cquiteble
can be too great for the. sake of justice.
Your Committee submit, finally, that the taxation of
this country is not basei on any intelligible principle;
and that it becomes more and more apparent every year,
the
property-tax is to be a permanent tax,
of the present system of taxation must

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. I
NORT ERN ClRCUlT.—Newcustle, July 29. I
This int): ning the Learned Judges of this circuit
opened the commission at Newcastle, and heard Di-
vine Service at the parish church, after which, at
one o'cioek, Lord Chief Justice Campbell, prochded
to try town prisoners at the Tssvn-hall.
The town calendar' contains the names of 20 pri-
sooers. One is charged with an at,:enspt to murder; •
the rest are ordinary sessions cases.
George Gibson, Ann Gibson, and Margaret Bell
were indicted for stealing and receiving eight .5/.
Bank of England notes, the property of Thomas
Marshall.
The Hon. Adolphus Liddell prosecuted, and Mr.
Overend defended the prisoners.
It appeared that the prosecutor is a grocer in New-
castle, living with his brother; whose house is next
door to his shop. On the 6'h of June last the pro-
secutor had eight 51 Bank of England notes and 40
put in his inside waistcoat pocket.

father, and placing his clothes on a chair. They
did not appear to have been disturbed next morn-
ing. About 12 o'clock next morning, having occasion
to pay a debt of 381, he felt in his pocket foe his
money, and counted out 28 sovereigns, intending to
make up the amount with notes, bat his notes were
gone. At first he suspected the prisoner Margaret
Bell, who lived servant with his brother, and had her
boxes searched. Finding nothing, he then fancied
he had lost them out of (Mors that morning, and adver-
tised them. Eventually his suspicions attached more
strongly to Margaret Bel!' and, on her obtaining leave
to go to Carlisle, he had her -apprehended there at the
station, believing that she had got the money out of
his clothes while he was asleep. The other female
prisoner, Gibson, is her sister, and they were all
three taken into custody at the same time. When
apprehended, Ann Gibson endeavoured to pass a key
to her husband, who threw it away. This key was
found to open a secret drawer in a chest in his house,
in which was found two Si. Bank of England notes,
one of which was identified, by a mark upon it by
the prosecutor, and by its number by his brother,who
bad paid it to him, as one of the notes he had lost.
The chest also contained a quantity of new women's
wearing apparel. The prisoner Bell said she had
found the notes in the back-yard, which was an inn-
yard, and did not know to whom they belonged.
Mr. OVEREND, for the defence, contended that the
evidence favoured the presumption that Bell's story
was true, else why had she not taken the sovereigns out
of the same pocket ? and the prosecutor's impression
was that he had lot the notes. Ifshe found them, not
knowing to whom they belonged, and afterwards con-
ceived the intention of appropriating them to her
own use, he submitted that that was not stealing in
law, and the other prisoners could not be guilty of
receiving.
• liis LORDSHIP, in.summing up, told the jury that
even if the prisoner Bell's statement were true, and
she found the notes as described, and, having the op.
portuoity to make inquiries respecting them, made
none, but appropriated, this was stealing, and the
other prisoners by their conduct exhibited a guilty
knowledge of the offence.
The jury found all three prisoners guilty.
They were sentenced to be imprisoned each 18
calendar months, with hard labour.

an hour by Mr. Justice Williams; and a charge of

on account of her character, and sentenced to impri-

(Before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL)
Henry Lewis Colley, aged 43, a shoemaker, and
marked in the calendar as able to read, was charged
with the wilful murder of John Gitton, at the parish
of St. Leonard, in the borough of Bridgnorth, on the
29!,h May last.
Mr. Huddleston and Mr. R. Kettle appeared for
the prosecution ; Mr. Skinner for the defence.
When the prisoner, who was a heavy-face j, quiet-
looking man, was put to the bar, and the charge was
and he was asked to plead, he said, " Guilty,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARl,BonoliGti STREET.

William Morton, otherwis© arc 7, otherwise Nor.
rington, a tall, well-dressed young man, ww: brought
before Mr. Hard wick, charged with stealing a bill of
exchange for 2.0001. from one gentleman, and two
bills of exchange fur 2501. each from another gen-
tleman.
The first case wns for stealing two bills for 2501. each.

Charles Fitzgerald, of Hanes-park, Middlesex,
said he saw an advertisement offering loans of money
to noblemen and gentlemen. The address was to
"G., the post office, Regent-street." Witness wrote
to the advertiser to know if he could be accommodated
with a loan of 500/. He received a reply that he
could, and was directed to call in Mortimer-street.
He called at No. 7, Mortimer-street, and saw the
prisoner, who represented himself to be the writer of
the letter. The prisoner promised to see a monied
friend, in order to get a loan for the prosecutor. On
the 16,:h of May prosecutor called again in Mortimer-
street, and saw the prisoner, who gave him a form
and two bill-stamps, to he filled up for 2501. each.
Prosecutor filled up the bill-stamps and handed them
to the prisoner, who gave him a receipt for them in
the name of Grey. On the following Thursday pro-
secutor called in Mortimer-street, but found the
money-lenders bad decamped. He had not seen the
parties nor his hill since.
The prisoner said be would reserve his defence.
Inspector Monckton then said he had a second
charge to prefer against the prisoner for stealing a
bill for 2,0001. Toe gentleman was not at present in
attendance to press the charge, but he had no doubt
if the prisoner was remanded he should be able to
bring forward sufficient evidence against the pri-
soner.
The prisoner said be would also reserve his defence
to this charge.
Mr. HARDWICK remarked, that it appeared to him
most extraordinary that although cases of fraudulent
bill discounters appeared almost daily in the public
press the public were not more on their guard against
the designs of those who pretended to lend money.
The itrisoner was remanded till next Thursday.
WESTMINSTER.
In reference to the case of the man who has un-
dergone two or three examinations at this court,
charged with pawning a number of portraits, it may
be of advantage to some of his dupes to state that
Sergeant Smith, of the detective police, the officer
engaged in the case, has not only nearly fifty
pawnbrokers' tickets of portraits and miniatures,
but baa also found a number of others out of date,
which have been for years in the possession of
the respective pawnbrokers with whom they
were originally deposited. OF those with respect to
which the duplicates have been found, many are of
considerable value ; but the police are unable, from
being unacquainted with the features of their owners.
to communicate with them, and, consequently, many
valuable and much7prized family portraits may be
unclaimed. Although the value set upon them by
friends or relatives would doubtless be considerable,
many of theta are such dead stock in the pawnbrokers'
hands, that he would willingly, after affording them
the shelter of his hospitable roof for years, part with
them upon payment of the principal and interest.
Sending some of them to the sale roomlas been found
useless. Lord Craven, we are told, has been there
three times, and the unfortunate pawnbroker never
could realize the money lent upon him. Lady Ed-
ward Howard " ran out," and, consequently becom-
ing the property of the pawnbroker, it is true fetched
a good price ; but, although Don Miguel, Don Car-
los, and many others were not " born to bloom un-
seen," they have looked in vain out of the pawn-
broker's window for a release. We understand that
nearly 100, the greater portion of which are out
(pawned more than 12 months), have beep discovered,
many of which are supposed to have been executed
by the most eminent masters.
WORSHIP-STIMET.
Martha Mary Law, a well-dressed middle-aged
women of gigantic proportions, exceeding six feet in
height, was charged with the following robbery.
Mr. Fieix Upaher, a gentleman residing at St.
Ives, in Huntingdonshire, stated, that in consequence
of nis wife being a confirmed invalid, the prisoner
had been eng:iged some time since in the capacity of
upper nurse, and continued in his service until
Thursday morning, when be received an intimation
evidently filled with
that she had suddenly absconded at ad early hour,
carrying with her a large box,
property. He immediately caused an active search
to be made for her throughout the town, but Unsuc-
cessfully, and, feeling convinc,o that she must have
availed herself of the railway to effect her escape, he
took a place in the next train, and started in pursuit
of her. On reaching the Bishonate terminus, how-
ever, he could bear notbieg of her, and therefore ob-
tained permission to inspect the luggage at the goods
station, when, while looking over the different trunks
and boxes, he di covered a very large one with the
prisoner's name upon it, and on causing it to be forced
and searched, and found in it 4 quantity of property

which he could swear to as belonging to him, from
his name being wricNn upon the articles by him-
self. He therefore waitql ablut the staii,u) until the
next Ilantingdon train came in, end, upon the Pri,o-
ner stepping out of ooe of the carriages, h, h'lnded •
her over to a constable, and, having given direotions
for the searching of too other true is w ch it was
found she had brought with her, n qugntity_ more of
his property was found in each, marked in the same
way as the other; and the witness added that he was
perfectly satisfied that his wife could identify a great
many other articles, upon examination, if it was ne-
cessary for the ends of justice that she should do so.
The prisoner stoutly protested her innocence, and
having claimed the proAecutor's wife's gold peneilcat:e
as hiving been presented to her by a lady who fre-
quented his house, declared that she lal:•.d not the
'
slightestidea as to how the other property sworn to
by the prosecutor got into her trunks, as she had not
herself placed it there.

Mr. iIAmmILL, however, at once ordered the depo-
sitions to be taken, and she was fully committed
for trial.

LAMBETH.

William Lear, a well-known young thief, was
brought befire the Hon. G. C. Norton, charged with
stealing a valuable silver watch from the person of
Mr. Charles Spencer, a tradesman carrying on
business at No. 4, Carlisle-street, Lambeth, under
the following very during circumstances :
Prosecutor stated that on the previous evening
there was a large fire near his house in Hercules-
buildings, and he, with several of his neighbours, went
to the spot to look at it. As soon as he got in the
crowd, while standing with his hands in his pockets,
he was surrounded by a number of lads and men, who
commenced pushing him about. His watch was then
safe in his waistcoat-pocket, and as he was attempting
to put his hands up they were forced down, and he
felt some one at his waistcoat-pocket. The prisoner
was in front of him, and wish some difficulty he
forced his right hand up, and caught hold of the pri-
soner's hand with his watch in it. They had a
struggle together, when the watch was broken off the
chain and fell to the ground. He seized hold of the
prisoner by the right hand, and picked up the watch
with the other, when a constable came up and secured
him. There were a number of persons around them,
who attempted to get the prisoner away. When the
constable came up he told him that witness had given
him the watch to repair.
The prisoner was committed for trial.

SECRET TREATY OF I'HE THREE
NORTHERN POWERS.
It will be recollected (says the Morning Chronicle)
that a few eeeks ago sereral journals, both in Germany
aud this country, published an analysis of a series of
notes exchanged between the Cabinets of St. Petersburgh,
Viensia, and Berlin, on the subject of the present posi-
tion of France, and more especially with respect to the
double eventuality of the establishment of an elective or
an hereditary empire. The conclusion to be drawn from
these notes was, that in the event of the establishment
in France of an elective or personal empire, the change
being merely nominal, and the state of matters remain-
ing in reality what it was before, the Powers might be
disposed, for the sake of the peace of Europe, to make a
further sacrifice of their feelings by acknowledging it ae
a gevernment de facto ; but that in the event of an ate
tempt to establish as hereditary Government, the Powere
felt it their duty, as it wets also their determination, to
act very differently, and that they were resolved never to
permit so fl ;grant a violation of existing treaties and of
public law. As long as a member of the House of Bour-
bon should exist, the powers were resolved, if the ques-
tion of right to the throne of France should arise,'not to
tolerate its being taken possession of by a usurper.
allow that would be to inflict a mortal blow on all the
dynasties of Europe. Such is a resume of the numerous
notes exchanged between the three northern Powers in
the course of the months of February, March, and
April. In the beginning of May it was agreed that
these notes should be made the foundation of a regular
treaty between the two Emperors and the King of
Prussia, and accordingly this treaty, which is dated the
20th of May, 1852, has been signed, ratified and ex-
changed. We are now enabled to give en analysis of
this important document, which has not 'yet appeared in
any journal.
This convention, like the treaty of the 26th of Sep-
tember, 1815, is placed by the three Sovereigns under
the invocation of the most holy and undivided Trinity.
Their Majesties the Emperor of Austria, the King of
Prussia, aud the Emperor of Russia, considering—
That the basis of European order is hereditary right,
that in that respect there is a joint responsibility and in-
terest (solidarite) between all European States; consider-
ing also that, as regards France, the house of Bourbon
personifies and represents the hereditary right, and
that the present head of that Rouse is the Count de
Chambord; •
That the power exerels9d by M. Louis Napoleon Bo-
uaparte is a power de facto, which cannot even prop it-
self up with the pretended right of the Emperor Napo-
leon, since the latter voluntarily renounced, by the first
article of the treaty of Fontainebleau, "tor himself, his
successors, and descendants, as well as for each member
of his family, all the rights of sovereignty and domina-
tion, as well over the French nation and the kingdom of
Italy, as over any other country;"
Thar, accordtrlg to the rules of international right, the
violation of the. treaty of Foutainehliem by the Emperor
Napoleon, while it released the Powers Loin the engage-
ments taken by them with respect to him, did not release
him from his renunciation for himself and his descen-
dants, of the crown of France;
That, moreover, the very origin or the present power
of the President of the French Republic is the negation
of hereditary right;
For all these m eines, and for many others which it is
useless to enutnerat-,, the subscribers to' the present
convention consider it their duty to determine before,
hand, by common accord, the conduct which they ought
to hold in the event that one or other of the eventuali-
ties above enumerated should present themselves.
In the case that the Prince Louis aneeparie, present
President of the French Republic, should get himself
elected by universal suffrage as Emperor for the
Powers will not recognise that new form of elective
power till after explanations shall have been demanded
from Prince Louis Bonaparte as to the sense and mean-
ing of his new title, and after he shall have taken an
engagement—first, to respect the treaties; secondly, not
to endeavour to extend the territorial limits of France;
and thirdly, formally to renounce all pretension's to the
continuation or founding of a dyninty.
In the case that the Prince Louis Bonaparte should
declare himself hereditary Emperor, the Powers will
not recognise the new Emperor, and will address
to the French Government, as well as to all the
other European Governments, a protest founded
on the principles of public law and on the letter of
the treaties. They will afterwards consult, according
to the circumstances, as to the ulterior measures which
they may think it necessary to take. In the ease that
a popular or military movement should overturn the
Government of Prince Louis neparee, or simply in
the case of the death of that personeee, the Powers bind
and oblige themselves to aid and favour by all means in
their power the restoration of the legitimate heir of the
Crown, and in the se•qusl they will recognise no other
dynasty but that of the Bourbon:, and no other claimant
but M. Count de Chambord. In Acting thus they pro-
test beforehand against the imputation of wishing to at-
tack the ind, pendeace of France. France i'lree to or-
ganize her internal government as she chooses, and the
Powers do not reject the system called constitutional any
more than they reject any other system.
But the recognition of legitimate and hereditary
royalty dues not interest France alone; it interests all
European Stales. It is a national principle ie as far Ks
