IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

Their Lordships assembled at Five o'clock.
Lord STANLEY presented several petitions from
various parts of Ireland against the rate i❑ aid; also a
petition from Ely. cowplsining of agricultural distress.
IRISH TAXATION.
The Earl of WICKLOW moved for various re-
turns relating to the income remitted to England from
Ireland, and which was in consequence subjected
to the income-tax in England. He was convinced that
the income••tax derived trom this source would amount
to much more than the sum proposed to be raised
lay this unconstitutional rate in aid, and therefore it was
incorrect to say that Irish property contributed nothing
to the property-tax. Proprietors in the English funds
residing in Ireland contributed to the property-
tax. Every Irish proprietor residing in Eng-
land for a week became liable to the income-
tax, but if he Rent to the continent he escaped.
He hoped the returns would be granted, and he hoped
the Government would instruct the authorities of the
Tax-office to adopt measures to enable them to ascertain
the amount of income-tax contributed by Irish property.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE did not object to the
returns being male.
Lord MON TEAGLE said that even this return would
not present a just view of the comparative burden of
taxation borne by the two countries respectively.
The motion was then agreed to.

PETITIONS.
The Marqu's of LONDONDERRY presented several
petitions against the rate in aid. He regretted exceed-

the peasants of the province of Ulster.
