consequently be only the stronger. And yet we are
told that there is no available channel of redress even to
a nation deceived, tormented, and oppressed as Hun-
gary has been by successive members of the Hapsburg
dynasty. Away with this paltry trifling with the
right reason of the population ! Away with these
miserable vestiges of an obsolete and degraded
feudality !

It is undoubtedly right that every member of the
body politic should contribute towards the national
expenditure in proportion to his means and the stake
he possesses in the country. It is the legitimate
return which be must render for the rights and
privileges he enjoys, and the protection afforded to
him by the Government.
_lle must, in fact, surrender
a certain portion of his natural liberty and a part cf
his possessions for the general advantage, and in
order that he himself may obtain the more secure
enjoyment of the remainder. Such is the law of
every civilized community—a law essential to its very
existence. Taxation is, therefore, a necessary evil to
which all must submit, and no reasonable complaints
can be preferred so long as it is kept within reason-
able limits, and fairly and justly apportioned.
Nothing, however, can be more unequal in opera-
tion, or unjust in principle, than the fiscal system
under which the public revenue of the country is
collected. Had it not been sanctioned by successive
Parliaments, and enforced for a long series of years,
it would seem to be a work of supererogation to ex-
pose its palpable injustice and impolicy. That the
man who is compelled to earn his daily bread by the
sweat of his brow, who maintains an arduous struggle
in the " battle of life," and who must toil inces-
santly to procure a bare sufficiency of even the
humblest fare, should be required to pay a.higher per-
centage on his income than the person in the actual
possession of accumulated and realised pro-
perty, who can enjoy all the comforts of
life in luxurious idleness, appears too gross
an absurdity to be argued against. It
seems to be fighting against shadows, or attempting
the demonstration of self-evident propositions. But
the apparently useless task is forced upon us when
we find the leader of a great party—a man of un-

doubted genius and talent, one who recognizes the
importance of a "guiding principle," and who
adopts as his motto; "equal taxation"—advocating
not merely a continuance of the present impolitic
and inequitable system of indirect imposts, but a
large addition thereto, by placing a duty upon "every
article of foreign import whatever."
"Indirect taxation" is not only in the highest de-
gree injurious to the trade and commerce of
the country, but it also tends to the
demoralization of the people. It fosters and
encourages smuggling, and renders an enor-
mous expenditure necessary to check the illicit
trade which it is calculated to produce. Much
larger sums are taken from the people than are paid
into the Exchequer. The taxes ultimately fall upon
the consumer, but the merchant by whom the com-

modity is imported, 'and the various intermediate

hands through which it passes before consumption,
calculate their profits not merely on the first cost
price of the article, but also on the duty paid to the
Government, and the profit on that duty obtained by
the previous dealers. The price is therefore enhanced
not merely by the amount of the duty, but by 30 to
40 per cent. additional, for the mercantile profit on
the duty advanced by the various traders ; the ex-
pense of collection is also exceedingly heavy ; so
that, putting the question of justice aside, the
very first condition of a judicious impost
is violated, the burden being much heavier on the
tax-payer than would be required under a wiser
system. But its impolicy is the least of the objec-
tions. Equal justice should be rendered to all, re-
gardless of the consequences ; no degree of expedi-
ency can justify gross and flagrant robbery. A
pickpocket will not be excused, because it was

_ .
expedient for him to obtain possession of another

man's property ; nor can the tax-payer be exempted
from censure who unfairly endeavours to shift the
liabilities from his own shoulders to those of his
neighbours. A wealthy man cannot, by a pos-
sibility, consume taxable articles in proportion
to his income. A. person with ten thousand
per annum will net require ten times tle
quantity of tea or coffee, beer or spirits,
sugar or tobacco that would be used by another with
one thousand a year, nor still less, one hundred times
the amount of a person with but one hundred per
annum. Such a person, even if living according to
his resources, will not contribute to the revenue more
than five or ten per cent. of his income at the outside,
while one of the middle class must devote 25 per
cent., and a labourer 40 or 50 per cent. of his earn-
ings to the same purpose. Besides, the former is en-
abled to evade the responsibility, if he thinks proper.
He may restrict his consumption within the nar-
rowest limits, or, if he thinks proper, re-
tire
to the Continent, and expend the pro-

ceeds of his estate, or the dividends of
his stock, without paying a single shilling
for Customs or Excise duties. The middle-class man
and the operative are unable to cut down their ex-
penditure on those articles of primary necessity, nor
can they abandon the scenes of their daily labours.
They must have their tea or coffee and sugar, for
breakfast, beer or spirits at dinner, and cigars or
tobacco in the evening. They cannot sit down to a
single meal, or enjoy a single comfort or luxury, on
which a tax has not been rigidly enforced, and
goods of inferior quality are taxed as highly as the
very best that can be procured. The half-starved
sempstress must pay at the rate of 2s. 2fd. per pound
on her bohea, the first cost of which was probably
not more than 4d., while the countess will only
pay the same on the high-priced pekoe or souchong.
The former contributes at the rate of 800 or 900 per
cent. on the value of the article, while the latter only
gives 70 or 80 per cent. on the same.
On close examination, it will be ,found that the
same rule is observed throughout the entire system.
The necessaries of the many are taxed at a much
higher rate than the luxuries of the few, and the
great burden is therefore imposed on those who are
least able to sustain it. Such a system would never
enter into the mind of any lawgiver or financier, if
he were about to provide the ways and means for the
national expenditure ; but the iniquitous sys-
tem has grown up by degrees until it has
reached its present monstrous proportions. The
various taxes were imposed from time to
time, according to the exigencies of the moment,
generally during war periods. The legislative body was

composed of men in the possession and enjoyment of
large fortunes, who desired to lay the greatest portion
___

of the charge upon their humbler brethren. The

real amount was not so easily detected, as if there I
were a more direct application; it seldom entered
into the consideration of a labouring man to question
the justice or propriety of his being obliged to devote
so large a portion of his earnings to public purposes,
or if the question was raised, he was speedily silenced
by the specious fallacies put forward by interested
parties. The eyes of the people are at length opened
to the iniquities that have been practised ; they will
no longer remain contentedly to be fleeced at the will
of a Minister sustained by an obedient and subser-
vient majority. The voice of public opinion will be
heard, and must be respected in high places. The
necessary concessions must be made, and chief amongst
these will be a speedy revision of the fiscal system—
tbe total abolition of indirect taxation, and the sub-
stitution of a direct tax on accumulated and realised
properties, calculated according to the actual capitalized
value thereof.

THE SUICIDE IN BEYDGES-STREET.--Mr. Bedford
held an inquest yesterday at the Bell Tavern, Welling-
ton-street, Strand, on the body of Richard Bagshaw,
the news-agent, who committed suicide on Sunday
morning. The jury returned a verdict of " Temporary
insanity."

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Committee appointed to consider the demand
made by the Ministry for a supplementary credit to
defray the expenses of the Roman expedition would,
it was said, be enabled to present its report to the
Assembly on Thursday, in which case the debate
would probably take place on Monday next.
M. DE FALLoUI, who up to yesterday was convales-
cent, has had a relapse, and it is doubtful whether or
not he will be sufficiently recovered to take part in the
approaching discussion.
The Legitimatists and parti pretre are intriguing to
break up the Ministry and to substitute for it one of
an obscurantist character, which would enter into an
alliance with Russia for the immediate restoration of
the Count DE CHAMBORD by an armed intervention.
It is said that they have recently been coquetting
with M. DE LAMA.RTINE, but the great poet-states-
man is, we feel assured, too good a Republican, and
too honest a man, to lend himself to such a nefarious
scheme, notwithstanding his admitted predilection for
a Russian alliance. The PRESIDENT of the Republic
appears to be acting exceedingly well, and to be giv-
ing his support to the moderate Republican section of
his Ministry.
The National, which considers a Ministerial crisis
as inevitable, thus comments on the criminal folly of
the reactionnaires :
" Well, then, since the criminal folly of reactionary
factions condemns France once more to the hazard and
uncertainties of a convulsion; since they will fight
against the revolution, and against the people and their
rights; since they will substitute, in place of pacific and
regular progress, the question of retrogradation to the
past by compression and by violence; we cannot but feel
thankful that the situation has assumed a form so clear
and so defined between us and our adversaries. We
should not have spontaneously taken on ourselves the
responsibility of such a struggle and its infallible conse-
quences. But they will drive the democracy of February
to the combat, without other alternative than that of
defeat or victory. Be it so! we accept a necessity, which
is only dreadful for those who impose it upon us. On
their head be the responsibility before the country! On
hem the colt of that future which they are preparing
;or us!"

The Constitutionnel and the Ordre both state that
there is every probability that the differences between
Austria and Turkey will be settled without war.
Austria will not suffer herself to be dragged into war
by Russia if she can avoid it.
The .Assemblee Nationale says :—A person usually
well informed affirms to us that the Government
ought to recal a part of the army of Italy. It
intends leaving, we are told, 10,000 men at Civita
Vecchia, and a single regiment is to occupy St.
Angelo, the Spaniards being about to enter Rome.
All that, it is said, has been decided according to the
wish of the Pope. The French Government desires
to hasten on some conclusion to the affairs of Rome,
being anxious to announce, on the day of the discus•
sion, a solution in conformity with the will of the
majority who desire the_proprio motu.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

The Presburger Zeitung publishes the following
official account of the terms on which Comorn sur-
rendered to the Imperialists :
" 1. The departure of the garrison is allowed without
arms: the swords of the officers are to remain in their
possession. To those officers who formerly served in the
Imperial army passports for abroad will be granted:
those whom passports do not suit will be freely dismissed
to their homes, with the exception of such as present
themselves voluntarily to the authorities. The Honved
officers, that is, the officers who have not served before,
will be allowed to reside unmolested in their homes, without
reservation of their future employment. The private
soldiers of the Imperial regiments are amnestied, and
both these and such privates as have obtained the rank
of officers are left at liberty, and will be subjected to no
further prosecution by law. 2.. Passports for abroad
will be distributed to all who claim such within 30 days.
3. A month's pay for the officers, and ten days' wages
for the men of the garrison, will be given in Austrian
national bank notes, according to the Austrian
usage of war. 4. Towards compensation for divers en-
gagements incurred on the part of the garrison through
notes on the military chest, the sum of half a million
of flarins to be paid down in Austrian bank-notes. 5.
Care of the crippled soldiers in Comorn, and of the sick
in the hospitals. 6. Private property moveable and im-
moveable to be preserved inviolate. 7. Place, time, and
mode of laying down arms to be hereafter determined.
8. All hostilities on either side to be immediately
stopped. 9. The fortress will be given up according to
the usage of war, and after the exchange of ratifies-
tions.—Pasta-Herkaly, Sept. 27, 1849.—(Signed) Hay-
nan, F.Z.M.; Captains Tackat, Gasparetz; Lieutenant-
Colonels Medniansky, Pragay, Ratkay, Count Otto
Zichy ; Colonels Paul Count Esterhazy, John Janik,

sonyi, Colonel Franz Asserman, Colonel•Commandan-
of the fortress George Klapka. Identical with the ori-
ginal.—Comorn, Sept. 29, 1849.—Szellanyi, Lieutenant-
Colonel, Chief of the Staff."
According to an official communication from the
head-quarters at Acs, the occupation of Comorn by
the Austrian troops began on the 2d.

The same journal (which is the organ of HAYNAU)
states that Vienna will shortly be relieved from the
state of siege.

A letter from Vienna of the 3d says—

" The differences between Austria and the Porte ap-
pear, thank Heaven, to have taken a satisfactory turn.
The representative of the Porte went yesterday to declare
the intentions of his Government not to embroil itself
with Austria on the subject of the Hungarian refugees,
and to give the latter every satisfaction consistent with
the laws of humanity. The Turkish Ambassador re-
mains hero at his post; he has not received his passports,
as has been reported in some quarters."
FUAD EFFENDI, the Ambassador from the SULTAN
to the Emperor of RUSSIA, has passed through the
Hungarian territory of the Bukowina, en route for
St. Petershurgh.
The Austrian Lloyds has published an attack on
Lord PALMERSTON for the support which he has given
to Turkey ; the Presse, on the contrary, urges on the
Austrian Government the necessity of not persevering
in the unjust demand of the extradition of the refugees.
The following is a translation of a letter from Gen.
WYSOCCI, commanding the Polish Legion in the
service of Hungary, now at Widdin, addressed to an
officer sent to him to Constantinople, in answer to the
proposal of the Divan, that the officers and soldiers of
the legion should embrace the Mussulman religion
as a condition of the protection of the SULTAN
against the demands of the Emperor of RUSSIA::—
" WIDDIN, SEPT. 19, 1849.

"Dear Bielinski,—l received your letter from Con.
stantinople, written visibly under the first impression,
and when your thoughts were engrossed with the one
only object of saving us. No, it cannot be, we cannot
listen to the proposition of the Turks, for it is impossible
to enter upon a compromise with our consciences. If
we look upon a man as infamous who changes his poli-
tical creed for the sake of selfish motives, what wouid we
have to say of him who, for the sake of safety would
change the creed of his fathers?
" Moreover, you must remember that we do not stand
here in a private capacity, but that we represent our
whole nation. Are we, then, permitted to bring, by
cowardice, an eternal stain upon the character of our
people? What would say the world? What would say
posterity? No! once more, no! Happen what may, we
shall not tarnish the Polish name. I request you, in my
name, and in the name of the whole legion, not to enter
into negotiation with the Turks upon this subject; for,
by such an act, the Turks would bring upon themselves
and upon us an eternity infamy.
" As regards your question, how you have to act with
reference to the Sultan and to his government, do all
you can to save this handful of men; but mind, that our
country, the honour of our name, are foremost—our
safety is a secondary matter.
"I embrance your moat sincerely,
(Signed) "JOSEPH WYSOcKI."

PRUSSIA.
The Prince of Prussia has been appointed Military
Governor of Westphalia.

CENTRAL GERMANY.

The convention between Prussia and Austria
relative to the new Provisional Federal Government
was signed on the 30th of September, at Vienna, by
Count BERNSTORF and Prince SCHWARTZBNBURG.
A space of ten days was allowed for its ratification
by the two powers. The convention is based on the
Prussian plan in all its fundamental points, the
jurisdiction of the Central Federal Commission being
so well defined as to render impossible any usurpa-
tion of the powers of the ancient Diet. The project of
a federative German state on the basis of the alliance
of the three Kings appears to have been entirely
abandoned.
It is announced that in so far as respects the
arrangement between Prussia, Austria, and Bavaria,
the two first powers have agreed to name together
the President of the definitive Central Power; but if
they cannot agree, then Bavaria and Saxony will also
have a deliberative voice.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES

The Spener Gazette declares that the Danish Go-
vernment is resolved not to consent to any proposition
for a division of Schleswig.
A letter from Hamburgh of the sth states that the
populations of Schleswig-Holstein continued to dis-
play strong hostility to the mixed administration
(Danish and Prussian) established in execution of
the armistice. Tbey persisted in paying the taxes to
the German administration, the consequence of which
was that portions of the public service were seriously
embarrassed. The Supreme Court of Appeal had
declared that it would not recognise the mixed
administration as legal i • and when new functionaries
were appointed to different towns the people rose in
insurrection. A monster meeting had been held at
Stapelholm, at which resolutions were passed, de-
claring that no obedience should be paid to the mixed
commission.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
Yesterday was observed as a strict holiday at Liver-
pool, consequently there is nothing to report in either
the Cotton or Share Market.
The corn trade in Mark-lane this morning is fi m
There are good arrivals of foreign oats.
Our continental advices read somewhat better, and it
is a proof of the greater confidence felt that the respec-
tive Governments are getting their loans more readily
than was expected. We wish it were otherwise, but, it
would really appear that the [people of the various con
tinental nations are to be for ever subject
to the oppressive burden of augmented debts, and that
constitutional reform is almost impossible. The Pied-
montese loan, and it is the least objectionable of the
whole, even if it be not one to which we should abso-
lutely wish every success, has been taken at 821 for a
five per cent. security.
In the London Gazette of last evening appeared an
Order in Council, in pursuance of the authority given
by the recent Act of Parliament, for regulating the
carriage of passengers in merchant-vessels. The
order in question relates merely to what may
be termed the social arrangements of emi-
grant ships, such as the hours for meals and rest, the
extinguishing of lights, the intercourse between the
crew and the passengers, &c.; but there are probably
very few who have yet seen the Act itself,
and which supplies a great want, and will tend,
we hope, to relieve us from the opprobrium
cast upon us in many instances by parties on the other
side of the Atlantic, of caring nought for the poorer
classes, who abandoned their country, provided we were
well quit of them. This sweeping censure, however, is
not wholly deserved, for the extraordinary and im-
petuous tide of expatriation almost defied con-
trol at the period of the Irish famine;
and it is now, when opportunity offers for the applica-
tion of experience and for quiet legislation, that the
effort is making to repair the former ladies. We
may usefully note that in the Act recently passed pro-
vision is made for the survey of emigrant
vessels in order to test their sea-worthiness; that the
construction of the decks is to be attended to; that
only one person to every two tons shall be carried, or
for every twelve or fifteen clear superficial feet, accord-
ing to the destination and the length of the
voyage, while a proper time is to be computed
for the letter, viz , 15 weeks to the Cape, 20 weeks to
Western Australia, 22 weeks to other parts of Aus-
tralia, 24 to New Zealand, to North America, except the
west coast, 10 weeks, &c. For ventilation and safety in
case of wreck, the following regulations are to be en-
forced:—
" For the purpose of insuring a proper supply of light
and air in every passenger ship,' the passengers shall
at all times during the voyage (weather permitting) have
free access to and from the between decks, by the whole
of each hatchway situate over the space appropriated to
the use of such passengers: provided always, that
if the main hatchway be not one of the hatch-
ways appropriated to the use of the passengers, or if the
natural supply of light and air through the same be in j
any manner unduly impeded, it shall be lawful for the
emigration officer at the port of clearance to direct
such other provision to be made for affording
light and air to the between decks as the
circumstances of the case may, in the judg-
ment of such officer, appear to require; and in case
of noncompliance with any such directions, the owner,
charterer, or master of such ship shall be liable, on such
conviction as hereinafter is mentioned, to the payment
of a penalty not exceeding fifty pounds nor less than
two my pounds, sterling; provided, also, that no passen-
ger ship,' having on board as many as one hundred
passengers shall clear out or proceed on her voyage with-
out having on board an adequate and proper ventilating
apparatus, to be approved by the emigration officer at
the port of clearance, and fitted to his satisfaction.
" And be it enacted, that every passenger ship"
shall carry a number of boats, according to the
following scale (that is to say) :—Two boats for
every ship of one hundred tons and upwards; three
boats for every ship of two hundred tons and upwards,
in case the number of passengers shall excetd fifty;
four boats for every ship of five hundred tons and up-
wards, in case the number of passengers shall exceed
two hundred: provided always that one of such
boats shall in all cases be a long boat and one
shall be a properly fitted life-boat, and that each
of such boats shall be of a suitable size, to be ap-
proved by the emigration officer at the port of
clearance, and shall be seaworthy, and properly
supplied with all requisites for use: provided also
that there shall likewise be on board two properly-
fitted life buoys, kept ready at all times for immediate
use. And be it enacted, that no passenger ship' shall be
cleared out or proceed to sea until it shall be proved to
the satisfaction of the officer from whom a clearance of
such ship may be demanded that she is manned with a
proper complement of seamen for the intended voyage.
" And be it enacted, that no passenger ship'
shall clear out or proceed on her voyage if there shall
be on board as cargo any gunpowder, vitriol, guano,
green hides, or any other article likely to endanger the
safety of the ship or the health or lives of the pas-
sengers, or if any part of the cargo shall be on deck."
Under these and other stringent, but highly proper
conditions, we trust to hear no more of that wholesale
destruction of life, both from fever or foundering, which
has so often appalled us.
The English Funds aro very steady again this morn-
ing, but there is no life in the market. A feature seems
to be the upward tendency of the floating debt, and
hereby we have a very fair criterion of the value of
money. Thus, Exchequer-bills have been done at 41s.
