ease of extreme necessity, and the Corporation of London
had, at the time of the repeal of the ten per cent. tax
in 1816, strongly marked the abhorrence in which the
heinous tax was held, by adopting the following resolu-
tion, which was agreed to on the 23d of March, 1816 :
—" That in the opinion of this Court it is highly ex-
pecTsent that all the vouchers, documents, papers, and
records which have been obtained by the Income-tax
Commissioners should be burnt and destroyed, as con-
taining an exposure of the private concerns of almost
every person in the kingdom, and that it is the sincere
with of this Court that an Act of the Legislature should
pass for the purpose."—(Loud cheers.) He was told
that in pursuance of that resolution an Act was passed.
Here then was an attempt to perpetuate the most
atrocious system of taxation, the most intolerable
and obnoxious that ever was imposed. He re-
joiced in the opposition which was given
to the measure, especially as the Ministers who pro-
posed that measure were advocates of those which he
uniformly supported, for it would make them look to
the consequences of persevering, and compel them to
avoid the dangerous speculation of plundering the
public.—(Laughter, and cheers.) The Ministers, too,
to whom he alluded would, he was convinced, listen to
the voice of the people, and would be the first to give
expression to popular opinion.—(Cheers.) Mr. Wire,
after deprecating the extravagant national expenditure,
as regarded our naval and military establishments, con-
demned the expensive commissions, which increased
their powers by increasing the -patronage of Ministers,
and tended to corrupt, and enslave, and impoverish the
people. He then sat down amidst loud cheering.
The resolutions were then unanimously agreed to,
amidst acclamations and clapping of hands, and a peti-
tion was drawn up framed upon the resolutions, and
immediately sent down to the House of Commons to be
presented that night.
A vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor was then passed,
amidst loud cheers, anti his Lordship having expressed
great pleasure at witnessing such an unanimity upon
such a subjects, the Court adjourned.

the sound will be much improved. The whole of the
interior is being repainted and tastefully decorated, and
when completed will be the most classic, elegant, and ex-

has been paid to the interior embellishments, the exterior
has not been neglected, and the building being in elose
vicinity to the new railway station, cannot fail to be an
object of attraction to strangers visiting the town of Hull.
