The more that revenue questions are sifted in
Parliament, the better must they be understood,and
the more solid must be the prospect created of an
improved administration of the finances. Lord
Goderich, on Thursday evening, seemed to object
to the mode of relief from taxation which had been
adopted by Ministers, and--what is more strange—
to the amount of it. His Lordship thought that it
would have been better to (Vase the relief over
many articles, titan to confine it to the single one of
beer ; but we differ with Lord Goderich, and for
this reason—that by repealing a single tax, we get
rid likewise of the machinery for collecting it, end
thereby make a twofold saving; whereas, on the
other principle, the proportion of charge for collet
lion, &c. increases as the net amount of tax dim'-
nishes; sod it is evidenced by the fact that since the
war the expenee of collection has not been reduced
an equal tation with the taxation.'he second
objpetion of Lord Goderich goes to the quantum of
revenue sacrificed by the repeal of taxes now in pro-
gress, which he inclines to think more extensive
than would-he consistent with the reservation of a
due amount of annual surplus for the sinking fund.
The Duke of Wellington met this objection fairly. He
said that if the revenue should remain nt any thing
like the level of 1829, there would be a very con-
siderable surplus ; that if the taxes had been dimi-
nished, as was stated by the Noble Viscount,
3,500,0001. a year, retrenchments to an equal
amount had also been effected, viz., on the Navy,
Army, anti Ordanee, 2,500,0006.; in the interest of
the debt, 308,000/.; besides the saving produced
by the reduction of the Four per Cents. of upwards
of 700,0001, per annum. We agree with the Noble
Duke in trusting that the relief produced by this

of the Duke of Northumberland, of Earl Grosvenor,
of Mr. Coke of Norfolk, and several other irdivi-
duals, that the Government of this country should
be conducted according to the strictest principles of
economy, because they can hardly gain as much
from the public purse as is taken from them by ex-
cessive taxation ; hut it is not so obviously the in-
terest of a Peer, possessed, perhaps, of only a few
hundred pounds a year after paying the interest on
his mortgages, to vote in favour of economy, his
subsistence being chick, tletived from the produce
of the taxes, We know, then, that as long es hu-
man nature is human nature, the generality of men
will seek to promote their separate interest at the
expense of the public, and that if the means exist
the result will correspond with them. In the '4 Yrnes
of June 14th there is a very sensible article on
the circumstances which enable the electors of
France to give an independent vote. " This lead
us to mention (says our contemporary), that in
the French elections balloting alone is used,
and the lovers of liberty in that country are
extremely jealous or apprehensive of a change.—
If our readers have attended to the remarks
which we have repeatedly made in this journal on
the centralization of power in France, and the extent
to which every man's interests are exposed in con-
tests with the local authorities—all removable at the
pleasure of the Crown, and, consequently, all poli-
tical agents at a General Eleetion—they would per-
ceive that without a ballot in that country there
could be no electoral independence. In all the in-
shuctions given to the electors by their constitu-
tionnl friends, either in the Journals, or through the
circulars of the directing Committees, the former
are particularly requested to be careful, in writing
their bulleties, to avoid the inspection of the Pre-
sident or Secretaries of the Electoral College." But
if, without the ballot in that country, there could be
' no r 'meow' independence, what arc the circumstances
in this country which warrant us in expecting elec-
toral independence without it ? Our electors are
poorer and more dependent than the electors of
France. In that country time qualification of an
elector is the possession of a considerable inde-
pendence. In that country property is more equally
divided than in this, so that while the elector is
more independent in circumstances, the power to
controul him is more feeble. Our cotemporary in
the same excellent article gives the following ac-
count of the state of the suffrage in this country,
the accuracy of which is only equalled by the sarcasm
with which it is set off :
