LONDON, FRIDAY FRIDAY., MAY 2, 1851.

The House of Lords sat for a few minutes last even-
ing, but no business of irapor Lance was transacted.
In the Commons,
On the order of the day for the second reading of the
Jewish Disabilities Removal Bill,
Mr. NEWDEGATE moved th tit the Bill be read a second
time that day six months, an d in support of his amend-
ment attacked Baron ROTITSCIBILD, denounced the Tal-
mud, and prophesied that if this measure passed, the
Divine Blessing.would be wit hdrawn from this country.
Mr. RoEscroa said that 11.1 r. NEWDEGATE seemed to
be of opinion that no one ..hould be admitted to that
House who did not agree •with him. 04ths excluded
conscientious men only, and admitted infith la and hypo-
crites, and gave to a weak, bigotted man the means of
spitting his spite against those 'who were better than
himself.

excursions, for moving powers, for raids, and for
other purposes, of every imaginable description.
Among these; examples of mechanism are included,
as a matter of necessity, the most simple and the
most elaborate, the flimsiest toys and the most
stalwart weapons of the manufacturer, blast
engines and hydraulic machines, pile-drivers
and pile extractors, saws and capstans, jacks
and windlasses. With these things are grouped
the tools of every conceivable kind employed in such
labours, as plaining, drilling, turning, boring, sawing,
stamping, slotting, shearing, rivetting, and similar
operations, besides the manifold objects required for
these purposes, ranging from timber to gold, from
slate to granite, from glass to alabaster. Added to
all which may be mentioned whatever is required
in Civil, Naval, or Military Engineering, in
Architecture, Agriculture, and Horticulture, and
in all apparatus, whether professional, ar-
tistical, or philosophical. Under the term
Manufactures, again, are obviously meant every
cotton fabric, such as sheets, quilts, dimities, and

counterpanes ; every woollen fabric, such as broad.

cloths and blankets ; every silk fabric, such as
dresses, scarfs, and handkerchiefs, plashes, gauzes,

The discussion on the details of the Property and
Income-tax Bill, which has been so often postponed,
will really take place this evening. No degree of
ingenuity on the part of the CHANCELLOR of the
EXCH/QUER or his Ministerial colleagues Cali get rid
of the inconvenient topic, or even lead to further pro-
crastination. The Right Hon. Baronet must at
length "screw his courage to the sticking place."
The accuracy of the " conclusion " at which he
arrived will be tested, and it will be seen whether the
Representatives of the people will sacrifice their own
characters for political integrity, in order to sustain
bis "financial crotchets" and enable him to
evince his unflinching obstinacy and contemptuous
disregard of public opinion. Notices of various
amendments have already been given; the chief con•
test will, however, take place on those of the Hon.
Gentlemen the Members for Montrose, Glasgow,
and Boston. There are others, however, of con-
siderable interest on which divisions will probably
take place, so that a tolerably long debate may be
expected, and a fair portion of work is cut out for
Honourable Gentlemen during the evening, and we
tray, perhaps, add the greater portion of next week.
The first question is to be brought forward by the
Member for Lambeth, who on the motion for Mr.
Speaker to leave the chair for going into Committee,
will move " That the provisions of the Bill, as far as
regards the imposition of the tax on the interest of the
Public Debt, salaries and emoluments of public officers,
pensions, and sinecures, be extended to Ireland."
This will doubtless be considered as a serious griev-
ance by "the Brigade," but we must confess that we
cannot see any reasonable ground for resisting the
proposition. However deeply we lament the
serious difficulties under which the owners
and occupiers of real estates, and the mer-
chants, traders, and professional men, indeed
all branches of industry, have been suffering in
that unhappy land, it is certain that the fund-
holders, officials, recipients of pensions, and sinecurists
have been far better off than they have been at any
former time, through the extraordinary appreciation
in the value of the circulating medium. There can,
therefore, be no possible reason why those highly-
favoured parties should be permitted longer to avoid
a more intimate acquaintance with the tax-gatherers.
The only question is whether Mr. W. Wieezeles has
gone far enough in his proposition. Mortgagees and
iccumbrancers of every class, if paid their interest,
are well able to contribute their portion of the na-
tional expenditure, indeed the same may be said of
the owners of every description of property, real and
personal ; and the great cheapness of the country,
making the sums actually received go much farther
in procuring the necessaries or luxuris of life then on
thin side St. George's Channel, would increase the
ability. We must, however, make some allowance
for the depreciation of real property, and be con-
tented for the present to adopt the imposition of Mr.

crapes, and velvets; every flaxen and hempen fabric,
such as drills, damasks, and diapers, lawns, linens,

cambrics, and cordage ; every mixed fabric ; every
printed or dyed fabric ; lace, tapestry, and em-
broidery ; clothing and cutlery t iron and hardware ;
jewellery and porcelain ; upholstery, and an
extraordinary number of things of an entirely
miscellaneous and supplementary description. From

a hasty glance like this may be conjectured the mar-
vels awaiting all those who have not yet visited the

Palace of the Exhibition—marvels requiring a series
of unwieldy and elaborate volumes merely to cata-
logue with the utmost , p:,ssible brevity. It is
satisfactory to reflect that under any circumstances
this remarkable enterprise could scarcely have been
carried out on a scale of greater magnitude or more

satistiwtory completeness.

Mr. Wianax opposed tho Bill, because if they ad-
mitted Jews to Parliament, they might be called on to
admit Mahosnmerians.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL Saw no objection to the ad-
mittance of Mahommedans.
Sir R. IzioLis denied the right of a Jew to a seat in
Parliament. It the Jews did not like the constitution of
the land, they might leave tht) country.
Mr. JOHN ABEL SMITE 'rindicated the conduct of
Baron ROTHSCHILD against he attack of Mr. NEWDE.
GATE.

Mr. GouLaunN complained that the present Bill went
further than any of its predecossors.
Mr. ANSTEY contended, tba t in strict law there was
at present no bar to a Jew taking his seat in Parliament.
Colonel SITHORP would 1 lot feel surprised, should
this measure pass, at seeing th e Devil come down some
day as a supporter of the Nob! a Lord.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL replied, and declared his belief
that the opinion of the great n kajority of the country was
in favour of the measure.
The House then divided, wb ten there appeared—
For the second reading . ...........
Against it
Majority .......... .... ...
The result of the division WI IS hailed with loud cheers
by the minority.

Yesterday cannot very speedily be forgotten, even
if it fail to accomplish all that has been anticipated of
it in the way of advancing the interests of mankind
and the general progress of civilisation. It will be
remembered, supposing the attempt to be altogether
futile, as an endeavour of a -very lofty and humani-
sing character, and one whi ,eh cannot fail to shed a
perennial lustre upon the re ign of our beloved SO..
VEREIGN. In its original c onception it was marked
by tendencies calculated to a ecure to it not merely
the sympathies of the 'numar r race, but if one might
presume to speak thui; con, idently, the approbation
of OMNIPOTENCE. Sor the enterprise was intended
from the outset as ones xpress Ise of thankfulness rather
than of exultation, of I lomag e rather than of pride, of
gratitude rather than of veil i glory. It was proposed
to celebrate in one rear 3/ ka tale festivity the triumphs
of industry and ingerau ity, , not in idle complacency
at past achievements, Su t as a means of encouraging
future exertion. Such was the programme of the
uudertaking at its earlie st contemplation, and accord-
ing to that programme ! it has been carried with sur-
prising rapidity to aat 3 Ate of completeness. Scarcely
had time been
allow et 1 for the digging of ordinary
foundations, When
the beautiful structure designed to
contain the products ( f both hemispheres had risen
like a fairy tern la re
into it the ration; from the grass, and
, 1
then poured their '
treasuresof the
bewilderinghave
i nce
variety and inexhausti' .ble profusion. A curious evi-
dence of the motley ett tture of these May-day cere-
monial. ova affordoi I Pater*, the Autestio di-

NVILLIAMS. Eventually, as we desire to bestow an

equAlity of privileges on Irishmen with those enjoyed
by th.ir English brethren, we cannot conceive any

valid reason why every man in that country should

not bear an equality of taxation, and contribute
to the national revenue according to his means and
the position he occupies in the country. Then the
members of the Brigade would have some tangible

versity of costumes grouped together under the Crys-
tal Palace in expectatiou of the arrival of Queen Vic-
TORIA. Added to this, moreover, was the multipli-
city of tongues spoken by the spectators—languages
almost as numerous as those into which the reveren-
tial hymn of MARTIN TUPPER has been recently
translated by scholars well versed in hebrew, sanscrit,
arable, chinese, persian, tu”kish, hindostanee, greek,
latin, welsh, gaelic, irish, german, polish,
danish, Spanish, norse, dutch, french, maux,
italian, and ojibeway.' Without being quite
as Babel-like in articulation, the voices audible
in the palace of the Exhibition were sufficiently
varied to accord with the contrasting contents of
the several compartments. In welcoming, however,
the approach of the Illustrious Personage who
was to preside over the ceremony of inauguration,
the strange concourse collected together by the oc-
casion joined harmoniously in their acclamations.
The enthusiasm of the greeting, indeed, was a suf-
ficiently emphatic evidence of the ardour with
which the people of this country are devoted
to the bead of their Constitution. Its mean-
ing will convey a truth of peculiar signi-
ficance to the foreigner, and will tend rather satis-
factorily to attest the stability of our political
institutions.
Little can the precise value of the Industrial Ex-
position be appreciated unless the people acquire
some inkling, however incomplete, of the diverse
nature of its wonders comprised under the vast roof
of the Crystal Palace. A very few simple conside-
rations will enable them to obtain some knowledge of
this kind adequate for the purpose indicated, by
grouping the broad outline of the collection into some-
thing like symmetrical arrangement. Let it be remem-
bered, therefore, that the contents of the Crystal Palace
may be classified under one or other of three compre-
hensive departments. They are included either among
ittaterials, among Machinery, or among Manufac-
tures. Such, at least, are the sections into which the
" Industrial" Exhibition, advisedly so called, may be
conveniently partitioned. Whatever is not embraced
under one or other of those titles must be grouped
together as among the loftier or more delicate crea-
tions of Aux—such, for example, as mosaics or
enamels—as models or specimens of seulpture. Con-
sidered as Materials, there will be found accumulated
everything relating to mining labours, to the toils of
quarrying, to the operations in metallurgy, and to the
products of mineralogy, together with the imple-
ments employed in smelting ores, or in the blending
of metals fur the fabrication of bells, fire-arms,
bronzes, or the specula of telescopes. Besides these
leading features in the first department, there are, of
course, a multiplicity of others, such as would re-
quire enormous space and considerable measure
merely for their enumeration, embraced under such
headings as chemical processes and chemicalsubstances
salts, acids, and alkalies, as human food and other
objects of consumplon, with a marvellous profusion
of other substances both animal and vegetable—
blood, glue, isinglass, sponge, skin, bone, wax, horn,
hair, wool, furs, oils, shells, hoofs, pearls, ivory, and
feathers. Under the designation of Machinery are
comprised, of course, every article for locomotion,
whether for land or for water, for aerial or subaqueous

grievances on which to dilate, and would not by
their votes giver, not according to the real merits of
the case, fasten taxation on the English people from
which their own countrymen are exempted.
The next amendment will be brought forward by
the Honourable and Gallant Colonel the Member for
Lincoln, who desires that Schedule B. should he ex-
punged from the Act, and that no duties should
henceforward be levied on the tenant-farmers or oc-
cupiers of the soil in Great Britain. Although we
readily acknowledge the gross and palpable injustice
of the present mode of assessment under that
schedule, and of making the amount of rent the
measure of the tax, so that persons might be heavily
charged who, so far from deriving any profits from
their holdings, had sustained heavy pecuniary losses
during the year, we cannot recognise the pro-
priety of exempting agriculturists from the burden
any more than any other persons deriving profit from
their own industry. Why, we ask, should the manu-
facturers of corn be more highly favoured than
the manufacturers of cotton or woollen goods? The
amendment of the Noble Viscount the Member for
King's Lynn, which proposes that " in place of the
arbitrary assessment in Schedule B of the farmer's
profit, there shall be substituted some fairer mode,
similar or analogous to that for computing the duty
on trade and manufacture," appears much more equit-
able and deserving of the attentive consideration of
the House. The principle cannot be objected to, and
the only difficulty would be the mode of carrying
that principle into practical operation without ex-
posing tenant-farmers to the inquisitorial
scrutiny into their accounts and dealings, to
which merchants, manufacturers, and traders,
and indeed all persons expressed under Schedule D
are subjected. The proposition of Colonel SIBTHORP
for exempting the pay and allowances of officers in
the army and navy is utterly untenable and cannot
stand for a single moment.
The first topic of real importance is that which
will be brought forward by Mr. HUME for the limi-
tation of the period during which the tax is to be
continued. The vetera❑ Reformer does not at pre-
sent enter into the vexata questiones, the many dis-
puted points at issue between the different parties.
His object is of a more comprehensive character.
Feeling that the tex may now be looked on
as a permanent mode of collecting the revenue,
that it must be rather increased than diminished, and
that eventually direct must be substituted for indirec

• impost, he desires to render it as equitable and un-
, objectionable as possible. He wishes then to obtain
• a Select Committee to inquire into and report on the
" mode of assessing and collecting the tax, and whether
the injustice of levying the same rate of charges upon
terminable as upon perpetual annuities, and upon
fluctuating and varying incomes from trades and
professions, as upon fixed incomes from real
property, cannot be greatly modified or alto-
gether removed. We have long urged the
propriety and necessity of such an inquiry;
we have f.lt it to be absolutely essential to a proper
solution of the great fiscal problem. The ridiculous
fallacies that have found favour in the eight of Sir
CHARLES WooD would be utterly exploded. It would
no longer be gravely asserted that the hard-earned
and fluctuating income of the professional man,
or the precarious profits derived from trade or com-
merce, are equivalent to well circumstanced ground-
rents, or dividends payable to the very hour. What-
( ver may be the fate of the other amendments,
nothing can be permanently decided on until that
stringent investigation takes place, and indeed, even if
the differences were arranged, and a❑ equitable ad-
justment entered into, it would be desirable on con-
stitutional grounds that the impost should only be
renewed from year to year, and that the popular
branch of the Legislature should exercise that
just control over the public purse which is
its unquestionable right, and the full assertion
whereof is of the most vital importance to its power
and influence. We, therefore, entertain sanguine an-
ticipations as to the success of Mr. Hules'il amend.
cent this evening.
We regret that a want of space prevents us from
entering into a consideration of the valuable sugges-
tions of the Honourable Gentleman the Member fur
Glasgow at the length which their importance and
sound practical character so eminently merit. We,
therefore, reserve our comments thereon, and on the
other_ amendments, for a future occasion.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
General D'HAUTPOUL has arrived in Paris.
The Ministers have withdrawn the Bill for a grant
of money to Marshal JEROME BONAPARTE.
It was currently rumoured in Paris yesterday that
M. LEON FAUCHER had had such serious difterences
with hi, colleagues that he had resigned.
Accounts from Algiers state that the Arabs were
prepariug to make a desperate resistance against the
invasion of Kabylia. They had preached a holy war
against the French.

-An article hostile to the English Government
having appeared in the Paine, some surprise was ex-
cited that a journal which is supposed to have rela-
tions with the French Cabinet should attack a Go-
vernment which is in alliance with that of France.
The Putrie of Tuesday evening has, in consequence
of this expression of surprise, and perhaps of some
remonstrance from the Ministry, felt it necessary to
declare that the French Government was entirely un-
connected with the publication complained of.
The opening of the season of 1851 at Aix-le-Bains,
Savoy, will take place on the 15th of May. The
European celebrity of the waters of Aix, the beauty
and comfort of its Casino, to which that of Baden-
Baden alone can be conr;:ared, have made this bath
the rendezvous of the fAsnionable world. This year,
in p-rticular, Aix will be the enchanting place of
refug? for the English aristocracy, who will leave
London to avoid the crowds at the Exhibition. The
journey from Paris to Aix is made in twenty-four
hours by the Lyons Midway, and steamers on the
Soane and Rhone.

to Bd., 100 Bahia at 7id. to 71d., 150 Egyptian at 71d-
to 80., 200 Surat at 41d, to 5d., and the remainder Ame-
rican. The market still continued heavy —Railway Shares
were quiet.
More business has been done in Sugar this week, and there
is an easier sale for some other articles, in anticipation of an
increased consumption. Coffee has been lower. Rice lies
been a shade dearer. Coffee is quite neglected. The bars •
auctions begin on the 13th of this month, and the Wool sa
on the 15th. Tea is quiet. The Assam Company Bakal,.

report states:—
"Late accounts from Calcutta give us the gratAnifyieib4
assurance that the Tea crop will reach nearly 250,0 w
making an increase of upwards of 30,0001b5. upon the A
pro-
duce of the previous year. In the same statement we estimated
that the net price which the produce of 1849 then remaining
unsold would realize, would be Is. 6d. per lb. for 895 chests'
and ls. 4d. per lb. for all the remainder; the average net Pill •
actually obtained for the whole crop of 1849 has been 18.72:

average obtained for the produce of 1848 was is. 834 d. 110
net produce of the Tea of 1848, which was the first Year
which we worked to profit, was 12,5551.,' that cf the Tab;
1849 was 16,6'281., and that of the past year (1850) mat
taken at about 19,000/. These results have been obtain
with so small an increase to the annual expenditure of
nwot
company, that the outlay for the year in Assam s
amounted to 1001. more than that of the preceding Ye".`4o
fact sufficiently indicative of how small an increase W._ „,
necessary fixed establishment of the company would be
quired for a greatly extended cultivation, and a consstla;
large increase of production. In addition to these results,w
chief superintendent has cleared, sown, and cultivated, ac,
wards of 100 acres of jungle lands, thus increasing the area
of the old gardens to that extent.

whole of the debt to the bankers of 7,0001., which for so g
a period stood to our debit in their books, and by cottWarleos
the estimate with that given you this time last Yebetter
will observe that we count upon being nearly 12,000/. ti.
