division under General FOREY to occupy Athens,
and, of course, to put an end thereby to the late
mendacious proceedings of the Greek Govern-
ment. It is well. Time enough that a step of
this bold and resolute kind should be taken
either by France, or by England, or by both
together. Time enough that that atrocious con-
spiracy engendered by Russian intrigue in the
Morea, and fostered by the influential complicity
of OTHO and A3IELIA with its lawless fomenters,
should be crushed out entirely—and. this by a
vigorous blow aimed directly at the arch conspi-
rators at Athens, instead of by a blow struck at
their scattered agents in Epirus, and Thessaly, and
Macedonia.
There assuredly needs no additional justifica-
tion for this course on the part of the Cabinet
either of ST. JAMES'S or of the Tuileries. The
heinous guilt of the Court of Athens in
affording open encouragement to the sangui-
nary rebels who have desolated the South-
Western frontiers of Turkey, has long since
been proclaimed in the British House of
Commons by Lord JOHN RUSSELL. A similar
accusation has been directed against the holders
of the Greek sovereignty, through the columns of
the Moniteur, by the French Imperial Govern-
ment. Documentary evidence, demonstrating the
justice of the charge, has long been preparing,
has long been promised by our own Administra-
tion. The Hon. Gentleman the member for
Manchester, who has, from some eccentric
principles of magnanimity altogether incompre-
hensible to ourselves, taken upon himself
the vindication of the Greek character (!), has
asked again and again for the forthcoming blue-
book, to the present moment in vain, until the
reiteration of his inquiries upon the subject have
come at last to assume the aspect of the ludicrous.
Possibly for some reason as unaccountable as the
chivalrous bearing of Mr. BRIGHT in behalf of
that degraded race, the members of which have
contrived to associate so much infamy with their
title either as Modern Greeks or simply as Levan-
ters—the blue-book may be adroitly withheld until
its publication has become utterly useless and
unnecessary, and then Sir JAMES GRAHAM, or
some other Minister of the Crown, may rise in
his place in Parliament and tell the House there
is no necessity to potter over the pages of the
azure volume, throwing out a taunt, if they should
happen to do so, against the Leaders of her MA-
JESTy's Opposition. Altogether, the delays and de-
lays which have for some while past been obvious no
less at the official printers than at th e Horse Guards,
or even in the camp at Scutari and Gallipoli, have
been—it is useless attempting to deny it—as
systematic, apparently, as they have, without
doubt, been disastrous and unsatisfactory. Pa-
tience, indeed, is the virtue most frequently called
into requisition of late by the contest with Russia,
and its many deplorable consequences. If it is
destined yet further to be exercised by the ob-
durate procrastinations of the English Ministry,
in regard to the still-eagerly expected blue-book
about Greece, it is earnestly to be hoped that
the anxiety very naturally felt, both in France
and in England, for some time past, in reference
to the continued impunity enjoyed by the
Athenian conspirators may be closed by the
energetic proceedings which may now be speedily
anticipated at once by the arrival in the vicinity
of the Greek capital of the division under General
Fonzy, and the squadron under Admiral DE
TINAN.

THIS EVENING, Mei 27,

The Income Tax Bill last night passed through
committee, if not sub silentio, at least without any
serious attempt at opposition. It is true that
Sir H. WILLOUGHBY interrogated the Chancellor
of the Exchequer as to whether he had entirely
abandoned the hope of removing some of the
glaring inequalities of the tax. The Honour-
able Baronet briefly instanced the unfair and par-
tial operation of the impost on Long Annuities,
which were taxed more than six times as much
as Consols, in proportion to their actual value.
It scarcely, however, required the rising of the
Financial Minister to indicate the nature of the
answer. It might be learned from the careless
and indifferent aspect of the House, from the
apathy which reigned on every side, and which
could not be shaken off. Mr. GLADSTONE himself
alluded to the not very creditable circumstance.
He spoke of a question of great difficulty being
introduced " at a moment when one-tenth of the
members were not in the House, and when one-
tenth of those present were attending to other
subjects! " This was the scene so graphi-
cally
depicted by the Right Honourable Gen- j
tleman, while a charge amounting to more than
six and a half millions of pounds sterling per
annum was about to be fixed on the back of that
patient animal JOHN Bum, for an indefinite
period. This was the mode in which the fiscal
and financial reformer's exhibited their interest in
a question of vital importance to the industrious
middle classes—to those struggling to maintain
a position which they must now relinquish, and
who were obliged to submit to many serious pri-
vations in striving to carry out that object.
The argument in favour of the equal taxa-
tion of 11. Long Annuities worth 41. 11. s. 3d.,
and 11. Consolidated Annuities worth 301.,
was of the kind generally resorted to by the
advocates for the equal taxation of all kinds of
income, without reference to the sources from
whence they may arise. It was impossible to
deny the glaring inequality of such a charge—to
assert that in the one instance capital was not
taxed, while it avowedly escaped free in the other.
Direct defence was clearly impracticable. The
logical reply then was, that even Long Annuities
did not supply by any means the strongest in-
stance of discrepancy between the cases of
persons in the enjoyment of temporary and
permanent incomes. The Right Honourable
Gentleman was virtuously indignant at the
notion of being required to redress one
grievance without administering equal justice to
all. " Nothing," he said, " could be more irra-
tional than to say that he would select one class
of persons having a temporary interest, and give
allowance to them, and leave every other class of
persons having a temporary interest to the full
sweep and stroke of the tax !"
This snubbing of the unlucky Baronet—the
only one, by the way, who had the manliness and
consistency to stand forward—had its anticipated
effect, and the bill went through committee with-
out a single amendment being pressed to a divi-
sion or even brought forward. It is true
that the veteran member. for Montrose offered
some slight apology for his daring coadjutor, ex-
pressing an opinion that the irregularity com-
plained of might easily be rectified, regretting
that the facts so clearly brought out before the
Income Tax Committee had not been better
