THE GREATEST WONDER AT PRESENTat IN
LONDON. is the WIZARD of the NORTH, the
THEATRE ROYAL, ADELPIII . he has prepared a Ban-
quet of Mephistophelian, Dextrological, and Necromantic
Cabals, for the Wonderseekers of the approaching Holidays.
London is again set on fire by the supernatural fame of the
esimious Wizard ; he is again on his magic throne, he waves
his mystic sceptre, and thousands of beauty, fashion, and lite-
rature rush as if charmed, or spell-commanded, to behold the
tnest•riachist of tins age of science and wonder ! Hundreds
are nightly turned from the doors of the m.a stie palace, that
cannot gain admission ; this is proof, and more than proof, of
the Wizard's powers of charming. During the last six nights
twelve thousand spectators have been witness of the Wizard's
mighty feats of the science of darkness, and all exclaim, Can
this man be of earth? is he mortal or superhuman.
To-morrow, and during the week,
The Great Delusionist will perform his thousand feats of
Photographic and Aliadnic Enchantments, concluding every
evening with the GUN DELUSION.

Does political society not exclusively exist to
give protection to property, and is any property
so sacred as man has in his own labour, • or, ra-
ther, is not that the very source and foundation
of all just property? Why should the ca-
pitalists and the landlords combine to
tax industry Bs. per quarter on its bread ?
It is properly, and, we think, most justly, con-
tended that the wages of labour depend on sup-
ply and demand. Clearly the supply of food will
be much limited by the eight shilling duty.
Clearly the demand for labour will be diminished
in the same proportion, and that will give
the combined capitalists and landlord an advan-
tage, and a species of monopoly to that extent
against the labourer. For the eight shilling
duty, therefore, the labouring classes cannot be
expected, and ought not, to contend; and we
conjure the capitalists, who are not at present
much in favour with the industrious classes, to
take heed how they sanction this proposition—
how they enter into an unholy league with the
landlords, and how they take on themselves such
a large share of the ;landlords' guilt.
The argument is, that the land is more bur-
dened than capital. The just way of equalizing
the burdens, is to reduce the burdens on land,
or to add to the burdens on capital ; but with a
singular disregard of others, while they com-
plain bitterly of injustice, the compromising capi-
talists propose to equalize the burdens, not by
taking a larger share on themselves, but by
allowing the landlords to plunder the consumers.
We are sure that the League, the gentlemen of
Manchester, the great movers in this Anti-Corn-
law crusade, can be no parties to this proceeding;
we are sure the ministers of religion through-
out the land will not countenance it;
we are still more confident that our labouring
classes will take no part in inflicting this op-
pression on themselves, if they do not steadily
and sturdily resist it; and we do hope, therefore,
that the Ministers, and a Anti-Corn-law
party, will at once denounce protection, and de-
clare against the Bs. duty as a device to enrich
the landlords.

But we have now to look at the proposition
as a means solely of raising a revenue. It is
said, Why should not food be taxed as well as
any thing else ? That is the aspect under which
we have next to consider this question.
It is one of the axioms of taxation, laid down
by ADAM SMITH, that "every tax ought to be so
contrived as both to take out and to keep out of
the pockets of the people as little as possible
over and above what it brings into the treasury
of the State." Will the Bs. duty on corn be con-
sistent with that axiom ? During the last few
years the average importation has been 900,000
quarters of wheat. Now, let us suppose that
under the new law the annual average importa-
tion is 4,000,000 quarters, or that all kinds of
grain and flour imported will be equivalent to
that amount. On this supposition the revenue
raised for the State by the corn-tax will amount
to 1,600,0001. We believe that the CHAN-
CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER sets the tax down at
that sum. 1,600,0001., therefore, is the whole
sum which will be taken out of the pockets of the
people, for the coffers of the State, by the Bs.
duty.
How much more will go out of their pockets
into the coffers of the landlords? Mr. M'Cuf.-
Loci' estimated in 1832 the whole quantity of
grain consumed in the United Kingdom of all
kinds, including seed corn, at 0,000,000 qrs.
We must add, we think, at least 4,000,000 qrs.
for the increase of population since that period.
In fact, the ratio at which population increased
prior to 1832 would warrant a much larger addi-
tion; but we are contented to take this, because
we believe that since then the condition of the

working classes has been much deteriorated, and
they do not consume now as much as they did in
1832. Adding the 4,000,000 qrs., we shall
have 56,000,000 qrs. of grain as the present con-
sumption of the United Empire.
The quantity of wheat may be assumed to be
about one-third of the other grain, and we shall
then have 18,000,000 qrs. of wheat as the annual
consumption, on• the whole of which, in the price,
a duty of Bs. will, in fact, be levied, equal to a sum
of 6,040,000/., which will be taken by the tax
out of the pockets of the people, not to go
into the coffers of the State, but into the coffers
, of the owners of rent.

All other species of grain we shall estimate at
37,400,000 quarters, and taking the duty on the
whole at an average of 4s. the quarter, we shall
have an additional sum of 7,480,0001., which, by
the proposed tax on corn, will be taken out of the
pockets of the consumers—not to increase the na-
tional resources, but to swell the rent .rolls of the
landlords.
This, however, is not all. The same principle
applies to everything grown on the land, and
everything the land bears. Such a tax, by
limiting the sources of our supply, raises the
price of timber, of meat, of poultry, of eggs, and
raises the rent of land. It increases the extorting
power of the owners of every foot of land in the
kingdom. We do not pretend to make even an
approximate calculation of the amount of money
thus taken out of the pockets of the people by
this tax, which will never go into the coffers of
the State. If we put it down rudely at double
the two sums we have already stated, we
shall conclude that the tax will take, on this
account, 13,520,000/. sterling more out of the
pockets of the people than it will put into the
public Treasury.
The question, then, will stand thus :
The tax will )leld to the Treasury £1,650,000
To the landowners for wheat
for other grain .. 7,480,000
61 for other produce 13,520,000

Total

Balance more taken out of the pockets of the
pecple than goes into the Treasury ... .. ' £25,440,000

Well, then, this proposed tax will violate, to
an enormous extent, the axiom we have quoted.
It is the continuance under another name of pro-
tection. It enriches the landowner, who makes
the laws, and defrauds the industrious labourers,
who have no voice in making them. It is the
continuance of the injustice we denounce ; nay
it is worse, it is lending to it a fresh sanction and
giving it new life.
We will now stop. On a future day we will
show that the proposed fixed duty violates, in an
equal degree, the other axioms which, according
to ADAM SMITH, ought to regulate taxation.

The object of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S no-confi-
dence motion is to spoil the game of the Whigs.
That has been avowed by the Tory Journals.
In the course of his speech Sir R. PEEL dis-
claimed the idea of wishing to prevent a discus-
sion on the Corn-laws ;ut the Morning Post,
which in the confidence of the party, and
which announced, on Monday morning. the pur-
port of the notice Sir 11. PEEL gave on that
evening, distinctly -stated that the party intended
to obstruct the proceedings of the Governmedt.
Between Monday and Thursday, however, the
Tories altered their tone and their policy. By
the latter day it bad been ascertained that Lord
WORSLEY and his friends Would not support a
vote of want of confidence, and then Sir R.
PEEL professed that he had no desire to prevent
a discussion on the Corn-laws. He found he
could not tatain his object, and, therefore, he
took the earliest opt-wain-14Y to deny it. The
cunning man was deceived, and sn fOced
MAW retreated from his position.
fluff iffriir ROBERT PEEL (lid not mean to ob-
struct the Alini,stm; why did he bring forward
his motion ? We know ftf oly one object he
could possibly have in view, lip if-?lp' tlig
t a
dissolution was decided on—he knew that Ow
