LOCAL TAXATION.
lIOUSE OF COMMONS, TUESDAY.

The Select Committee on the incidence and bearing of
the local taxation of the country resumed their sitting this
morning, Mr. Goschen, the President of the Poor-law Board,
in the chair. Mr., Wyatt, the Superintendent of Colney
Hatch Lnnatic Asylum, was examined, and gave evidence
with regard to the Lunatic Asylums of Middlesex, which
were paid for partly out of the county rates, and partly
by Government.
After some further evidence the committee adjourned.

THE GOVERNMENT TRAMWAY BILL.
HOUSE OF COMMONS, TUESDAY.

The select committee appointed to consider this bill re-
sumed their sitting this morning under the
presidency of Mr. Shaw Lefevre. Mr. Coates,
Parliamentary agent, gave evidence on behalf
of the railway companies, stating the various objections
he had to the bill. In the first place he objected that
the bill gave an absolute statutory effect, and proposed
an amendment which would . give an appeal to Par-
liament. He further objected to the promoters of tram-
ways having power to sell, because the property would lead
to mischievous results. The promoters would go to the
Board of Trade to get a concession and sell at a profit. It
might thus get into the hands of persons not having an
Interest in the locality of the tramway. The local
authorities, he contended, ought not to have the power
of leasing tramways, for the primary object should
be the convenience of the public, which leasing was likely
to frustrate. He thought the working of tramways in
crowded thoroughfares for passenger traffic would be im-
practicable ; they might be used for heavy goods. He was
aware that the Tramways Bill already sanctioned
did not contemplate any other than temporary traffic.
Mr. Rodwell, Q. C., for the Metropolitan Board of Works,
representing all the vestries in London and the London
Corporation, was next examined. He stated that
the vestries were favourable to tramways, but considered
they should be under the management of some central
authority. They thought that authority should be the
Metropolitan Board of Works.

THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE
POOR-L I.W. •

HOUSE OF COMMONS, TUESDAY.

The select committee appointed to consider the present
system of administering the poor law system in Scotland,
and contrasting it with its administration in this ceuntry,
resumed its sittings to-day, Mr. Craufurd in the chair.
The Rev. Mr. Tracey, a Roman Catholic priest, of Glas-
gow, gave evidence, which was directed to the mode of
treatment experienced by the children of Roman Catholic
parents in Scotland when they became chargeable to the
poor-law. He complained very much that the Board
of Supervision had not sufficient power to
prevent the proselytism of such children. He gave
numerous instances of cases in which such proselytism
had taken place and expressed an opinion that there
should be a rgeneral Catholic inspector for Scot-
land, to look after Roman Catholic children
whether in the poorhouses or when boarded out
He suggested also that increased power should be given to
the Board of Supervision to regulate those matters, and
that especial care should be taken that when the children
of Roman Catholic parents were boarded with
Protestants, the Protestant families should not
make use of the influence they have over them
to seek to proselytise them. The rev. gentleman was
cross-examined by the chairman and other members of the
committee as to the individual cases, and admitted that
they were not of so marked a character generally as to
give rise to a specific complaint to the Board of Supervi-
sion in reference to the present system of poor glaw
administration.

THE FINANCIAL REFORM UNION.
DEPUTATION TO THE CHANCELLOR OF THE
EXCHEQUER.

TUESDAY.

Thii`afternoon a deputation from.the Financial Reform
Union had an interview with the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, at his official residence, in Downing-street,
in favour of appropriating surplus revenue towards the
,repeal of the duties on tea, coffee, and sugar. The
following members of Parliament attended :—Mr. Crum-
Ewing, Mr. Holms, Mr. M`Laren, Mr. Baines, Mr.
Macfie, Mr. Anderson, Col. Sykes, and Mr. Shaw. Mr.
Holms, M.P., introduced the gentlemen,and Mr. J. Noble,
the hon. secretary, presented the Chancellor with a memo-
rial, adopted by a meeting of the Executive Committee.
This document expressed a hope that the adminstration
of the Government would secure such reductions in the
estimates for the forthcoming year, as will place a large
surplus at disposal, available for the reduction of the
public burdens. It stated that it is highly desirable,
considering the present condition of trade, manufactures,
and e mployment,that an increased demand be created for the
productions of British industry. " The results of previous
relaxations of our fiscal system clearly demonstrate that
this end is most effectually obtained by the remission of
Customs duties upon foreign products. This fact was most
clearly stated by the present Prime Minister, in his speech
introducing the Budget of 1864, in the following words
I find that if I select several years in which Parliament
has with firm and unsparing hand addressed itself to the
business of liberating commerce, these operations have
been immediately followed by striking augmentations in
the trade and industry of the country.' It is impera-
tively necessary, in order to enable this country
to meet the growing competition of foreign
manufacturers, that the pressure of taxation upon
the industrial classes be materially lessened. Although
the gross amount of taxation in this country, as compared
with its aggregate wealth, may contrast favourably with
that of other countries, the incidence of our fiscal system
causes the heaviest portion of the burden to fall upon
those who have the smallest means, thus enhancing the
cost of production and depriving the working classes of an
undue proportion of their wages. The most certain test
of the pressure of taxation upon the producing classes
is to be found in the amount contributed per head
of the population in duties of Customs and
Excise. The considerations which induced you
last year to propose • the repeal of the shilling
duty on corn, apply with equal force to the
duty levied upon sugar. We do not, hoivever,
urge the remission of this duty upon your con-
sideration with the sole object of reducing the price of an
important article of food, although that alone would
be a sufficient reason, but also a means of ex-
tending the trade and industry of the country.
There are two other article of consumption, the produce
of other countries, not the less important as affecting the
comforts of the population and the expansion of commerce,

, argely to increase their importation ; a very large portion
of this increase has been consumed at home, while a con-
siderabe and growing export trade has been developed.
It appears that while the consumption of tea in this
countryhas largely increased, that of coffee has declined ;
in the case of the former article there have been several
remissions of duty, in that of the latter there has been no
change since 1851. That one result of the repeal of these
duties would be an increased demand for British prodlice
and manufactures, we are firmly convinced.""re
memorialists, add that they are satisfied that the
appropriation of any surplus revenue which may
be at disposal to the remission of taxation upon these
three commodities, will be received with great satisfaction
in every portion of the United Kingdom.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER 111 reply said : He
had very little to say as they would hear in a fortnight
word.

revenue, to meet the current expenses of the country in
peace and prosperity—at least in a time of peace ; but also
a revenue which was capable of rapid and sudden expan-
sion in less prosperous times, to which, as a possibility at
least, they must always look forward. They
must excuse him if he could not go the length
of doing away with all taxes on imports. It was not in
his power to surrender every great branch of revenue of
this country, and so break up the whole system of revenue,
which it would be very difficult
it was
right to restore.

then be a very heavy pressure on that which remained.
He did not agree that
classes—for whom he had the greatest respect--should be
wholly exempt from taxation, except that on spirituous
and fermented liquors. He thought that a teetotaller, for
instance—an honest, hard-working man, and one whom
they could not but esteem, as he was a citizen, and now
by law intrusted with a share of the government--
might fairly be called upon for some contribution
towards the expenses of the country. But if they took all
these duties away, there would be nothing left but those
on spirituous and fermented liquors. (A Voice : "The
Income tax.") The people he spoke of were below the
Income tax, but a man, even though he had not
a hundred a year, derived considerable benefit from
the country, and, in his opinion, at least, it would be a
very bad principle for them to say that there should be
two classes, one who imposed taxes and another who paid
them. Even if it were in his power he could not hold
out any hope that he could go as far as they did. Still it
would give hire the greatest pleasure, if, in the discharge
of his duties, he could make any remission of the duties
in question. What he should be able to do they would
knoll, in a very short time.

A CLERGYMAN IN SEARCH OF A FLOCK.—A
clergyman living at or near Dundee received an invitation,
according to the Northern papers, to conduct public
worship on Sunday last in a neighbouring burgh. He
accordingly started, and reached, as he thought, the
church where he was to minister as the eleven o'clock bells
were ringing. Here, however, he found he was not
wanted, for the clergyman of the chapel was present in
propria persona to perform the duties himself. Think-
ing he must have made a mistake as to the church
he hurried on to another at some distance, but when he
arrived he found that there also his services were not re-
quired, as they had never been sought. The good man
in vain attempted to find his fold, and at last, like an in-
soluble riddle, he gave it up, and went borne. Mean-
while the sheep who had been waiting to be fed wondered
at the absence of the pastor. They sent a cab after hiln2
which traicked him round' his morning's wanderings, and

(THIS DAY.)
PUTNEY, Wednesday.

The University crews lid not go out for practice
this morning, owing to the lowness of the water.
Shortly after noon the Oxonians took to their
boat. They rowed down to the Aqueduct, and
started from a boat there, as though they were
going to row the whole course. They were ac-
companied by Mr. F. 'Willan in his little steamer.
They started at thirty-eight strokes, but it was not
maintained. The wind blew sharply, and making a
strong ripple they did not travel so fast. The water
passed over their canvas as they laid down to their
work, but they only proceeded to Hammersmith. The
general opinion is, that although a fine boat she is
too small for them, and that they will do well to
take to the old boat, in which they were laying out
their strength to so much perfection.
The Cambridge coxswain was taken up the course
for instruction in steerage by Mr. G. Morrison on
board the Ariel steam yacht. After her return the
Cambridge crew got into their boat, accompanied by
their " coach." They turned up the river at the boat-
house, rowing carefully and clean, commencing their
practice at about 36 strokes per minute.

PUTNEY, MIS AFTERNOON.

Both crews went out at a little after five this after-
noon. The Oxford rowed up to Hammersmith at a
great pace, and the water being smooth their boat
carried them well. They returned also with speed.
Cambridge, who hai been up to Chiswick in the
early part of the afternoon, had three or four
" spies" with a crew put together on
the spur of the mom'nt, of the Leander
and London Boat Clu')s, Mr. Gulston, captain of the
London, rowing stroke. The Cantabs rowed 40
strokes per minute to get away from the others.
