TATTERSALL'S-MONDAY.

A comparatively thin attendance, and very little betting,
the chief business being the settlement of the accounts con-
nected with the late Craven meeting. Two or three move-
ments, however, in reference to coming events, had a
striking significancy.
For the Two THOUSAND, West Australian was in so
much in favour, that 2 to 1 and 7 to 4 were taken to some
money. Orinoco had also several friends, and was backed
freely at 3to 1 and 7to 2. Sittingbourne, meanwhile,
was under strong suspicion; at first 1,030 to 203 was
booked, but afterwards 10 to 1 went begging. In the
course of the morning, in the City, 100 to 6 was laid against
him.

THE DERBY. —Some ups and downs amongst the
favourites had their usual mystifying effect. West Aus-
tralian had a strong upward tendency • the last bet taken
about him was 700 to 100, In Honeywood's position there
was a marked improvement, 8 to 1 being taken about bim.
Sittingbourne, for this event as well as for the Two Thou-
sand, was quite out of favour ; 20 to 1 was offered, but at
the Club as much as 30 to 1 was laid. Orestes, Orinoco,
and Brocket were " looking up " in good quarters. The
Reiver's friends were somewhat cheered by his return to
1,000 to 30, and, notwithstanding the powerful opposition
which had been arrayed against Cineas in the City and
at the Club, 5,000 to 203 was taken about him, and to-
wards the close, 20 to 1 to 50/., odds which were after-
wards currently offered,
The prices at the conclusion of business were as follows :

parts of the kingdom in favour of-protection to labour.
Sir J. SHELLEY presented a petition from the
committee of the Ragged Schools in Westminster against
the opening of the Crystal Palace on Sundays.
Mr. MUNTZ said he had to present a petition of a
remarkable character. It was from the rector and church-
wardens of the Birmingham Old Church, against church-
rates. They stated that for many years no church-rates
had been levied in Birmingham, and that no church-
wardens would be elected unless they gave a pledge that
they would not impose them on the inhabitants.

NEW ZEALAND COMPANY.

In answer to Mr. H. BAILLIE,
Sir W. MOLESWORTH said that as the papers which
had been laid before the house relative to the charges which
had been made against the New Zealand Company fully
bore out those charges, he saw no reason for asking for a
further inquiry this session.

MOn the motion for going into Committee of Ways and
eans,

Petitions were presented by Lord Hotham, Mr. Bright,
Mr. Peto, Lord Dudley Stuart, for different medical socie-
ties ; by Lord Stanley and other honourable gentlemen,
praying for an alteration of the income tax so far as
it bears upon precarious incomes ; by Mr. Kershaw,
from Stockport, against the taxes on knowledge ; by
Mr. Ewart. praying for the repeal of the duties on
butter and cheese ; b3r ColonJ Harcourt, from the
Isle of Wight, against the duty on malt and hops • by Mr.
Gaskell, Mr. Hume, Mr. Cobbet, and Mr. Milnes;for a re-
peal of the certificate tax.
Twe house then went into committee, 5Tr. BOUVERIE in
the chair.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose and
said—The annual exposition of the financial state and pro-
spects of this country, upon ordinary occasions, affords
abundant materials of interest to this house and to the
country, and of anxiety to the person charged with the
preparation of that exposition ; but on the present occa-

non, perhaps, that interest on the one hand, and, certainly,
that anxiety on the other, are greatly enhanced by a variety
of circumstances, including among them the number of

motions which have recently been made in this house, in-

dicating the increasing eagerness of the people with respect

to financial questions.

(Hear, hear.) Political events,

shocks which have enfeebled or overthrown Administra-
tions, and which have made it necessary to adjourn from

(From the Morning Post.)

It has seldom been our fortune to hear a more powerful or
a more complete speech than that in which Mr. Gladstone last
night introduced the financial policy of the Government to
the notice of Parliament. It was impossible not to be struck
with the comprehensiveness of the view which he took of our
fiscal system, or to do otherwise than recognise with admira-
tion the laborious industry with which the Chancellor of the
Exchequer has mastered its bearings and its smallest details.
We listened with great pleasure to the masterly and lucid ex-
planation of the position and prospects of our revenue, and
with cordial assent to the sound and well-considered opinions
which Mr. Gladstone so decidedly and so frankly expressed
upon the character of the income tax, and upon the use that
it is politic and legitimate to make of it in financial systems.
Mr. Gladstone, after a most careful and laborious examina-
tion of the tax, and of its bearings upon the various classes to
whom it is extended, has come no less conclusively to the
opinion, and has now given expression tl it ni) less strongly
than did Mr. Herries three years ago, when he proposed the
application of the then surplus to its reduction, that it is in-
capable of novel or more equitable adjustment, and is there-
fore unfit for adoption as a permanent element of our fiscal
system. We received with satisfaction this avowal of the
Finance Minister of the Peelito party, and we will do Mr.
Gladstone the justice to say, that he has not faltered with his
convictions, but has honestly and broadly placed them before
the public. We wish only that he had had the force to have
shaken himself free of traditional policy, and boldly to have
put in action what he explains so ably in theory.

It is the true view of the income tax. It is a fruitful re-
source to fall back upon in times of sudden and pressing
dearth—it is a great engine to be taken from the store-house
of policy only in great straits, when we aro in risk of being
lost without it. It is a tax for a great emergency, whether
that emergency be the result of war or of any other concur-
rence of events which paralyses or exhausts the ordinary
sources of revenue. Nothing is more hazardous, in our
opinion, than to be habitually dependent for making both
ends meet, in times of ordinary expenditure, on so extraor-
dinary and grinding a screw as a direct tax upon income and
property.
Mr. Gladstone appears to feel this, if pessible, more strongkr

King's Sarsaparilla Pills, have cured thousands of obstinate liver com-

upon the liver, stimulate the system, and give refreshing sleep, and
are the best aperient family pills, being mild in effect, and never en-

INCOME TAX.

In reply to Mr. H. HERBERT,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
Government did not intend to draw any distinction be-
tween the money advanced to Ireland for carrying out
the poor law and that advanced for relieving the distress
in Ireland during the famine. These two sums together
amounted to about five-and-a-half millions, and repre-
sented the consolidated annuities. The Government
proposed to remit that debt entirely if the house should
consent to extend the income tax to the sister kingdom.

HOUSE OF LORDS-(THIS EVENING.)

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool-
sack at five o'clock.

The Archbishop Of YORK presented a petition
against the opening of the Crystal Palace on Sunday.
The Earl of EGLINTON presented petitions from
places in Ayrshire and other places against the Jew
Bill and the Canada Clergy Reserves Bill.
The Duke of ARGYLL presented petitions from
places in Scotland to the same effect ; also others
against the grant to Maynooth.
The Earl of WICKLOW gave notice that if the Jew
Bill were read a second time, he should, in committee,
move to substitute for the oaths proposed by it, the
oaths contained in the bill introduced by the Whig Go-
verniuent, in 1849.

THE NEW FOREST DEER ACT AMENDMENT

BILL.

On the motion of Lord STANLEY of Alderley, this
bill was read a second time.

MR. KIRWAN'S CASE.

The Earl of EGLINTON rose to move for copies of
the representation to the Earl St. Germans, which in-
duced him to replace Mr. Kirwan. He disclaimed all
motives of hostility to his noble friend now at the head
of the Irish Government, or with any evil to Mr. Kir-
wan, but simply to justify the course which hs had him-
self taken in displacing Mr. Kirwan. The occurrence
out of which this affair had arisen, took place at the late
Mayo election.

moved• some verbal amendments to the amendment of

The Duke of ARGYLL supported the- amendment, a
course whichle declared to be 'consistent with all his

The Earl of DERBY illustrated his total disregard for
the criticisms of the noble duke by a parallel drawn
from low life—of a gigantic navvie, who, having been
beaten by his wife, a little woman, asserted that it

little difference between the motion and amendment, but
