sitv with respect to a direct tax on property; that might
vary in each year without the slightest inconvenience, so as
' 1 to collect a sum sufficient for the actual wants of the
country, after the application of the funds derived from
other sources. The consideration of the subject would
afford an admirable opportunity for demanding the redress of
any grievance, for exposing any wanton extravagance, or
insisting upon due economy and retrenchment. • • •
Again we call upon the fiscal and financial reformers through-
out the length and breadth of the land to exhibit a zeal and
activity befitting the occasion, and to make their wishes
known to their respective representatives in a manner that
cannot be misunderstood."
This great desideratum has now been achieved.
; The income-tax is limited to a single year. We
owe the remission of the taxes on light and air to
its expiring this session. The same cause will pro-
bably enable us to obtain the abolition of the taxes
on knowledge, or at least the infamous advertise-
ment duties, next year, and gradually to enter upon
a more equitable system of collecting the public
revenue, so that every British subject may
contribute as nearly as possible, in proportion to his
means, to the liquidation of the national liabilities
and the maintenance of the national establishments ;
and that the revenue be collected in the most econo-
mical manner, by making the greatest possible amount
of the sums extracted from the pockets of the people
find its way into the Exchequer. Mr. HUME last
night showed that no less than 67 per cent, of the
taxation of the country was levied on articles subject
to Customs and Excise ; and it is not too much to say,
that the prices of the various articles are en-
hanced to the consumers, not merely by
the amounts of the duties, but by at
least 30 or 40 per cent. on the amount of these du-
ties, for profit on the amount of the additional cost
prices to the various intermediate parties through
whose hands they must pass while finding their way
from the producers to the consumers. Thirty mil-
lions, raised by means of Customs or Excise duties,
will, therefore, practically cost the country fully
forty millions of pounds sterling, independent of the
charge for collection, which may be fairly estimated
at two or thres millions, so that the saving that
would be effected by the substitution of direct
for indirect taxation would be at least
TWELVE OR THIRTEEN MILLIONS sterling—a
sum quite sufficient, under judicious manage-
ment, for the entire support of our Naval, Military,
and Ordnance establishments.

We cordially concur in the opinions put forward
by the veteran proposer of the amendment, who, by
his conduct last night, has added to the deep debt of
gratitude due to him by the people of Great Britain.
He acknowledged his preference for direct taxation,
and did not desire its removal, but he declared that
he had never met a man who did not consider that an
attempt ought not to be made to equalise the tax, and
to remove its present injustice. His resolution not
merely went to limiting the tax to a single year,
but also for an inquiry by a Select Committee into
the mode of assessing and collecting it, and also ascer-
taining whether the injustice of levying the same rate
of charge upon terminable as upon perpetual annul-

ties, 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. And ,yet Mr. COBDEN and some
of his followers opposed this just and necessary inves-
tigation, because they did not approve of the reasons
put forward by some of those who supported the
amendment !

We venture to remind these gentlemen that the
success of that proposition will not prevent them
from bringing forward their views for removing a por-
tion of the injustice at present, by materially re-
ducing the rates payable under Schedule D. The
motion of the Honourable Gentleman the Member for
Glasgow will give them the opportunity of amend-
ing it, even during the present year. We
cannot conclude without noticing a valuable
suggestion offered by Alderman THOMPSON with re-

spect to the annuities terminating in 1854, 1859,
1660, and 1867, which are well worthy of attentive
consideration. We must also express our approbation
of what was so clearly put forward by Mr. DISRAELI,
who showed his sympathy for professional men, and
anxiety to remedy the injustice to which they have so
long been subjected.

A sweeping but graduated reduction in the num-
ber of flag-officers has at length been happily re-
solved upon by the authorities of the Admiralty. It
will be remembered by our readers how frequently
we have insisted upon the necessity of this very
wholesome innovation. Whether regarded with a
view to economising the resources of the country, or
with reference to enhancing the efficiency of the
naval service, the change here indicated must be ac-
knowledged one of extraordinary importance. For,
according to the system hitherto allowed to flourish,
the maritime profession has found its energies per-
petually deteriorated by a course of proceeding
which has simultaneously proved one of most
indefensible extravagance. Whereas formerly the
list of admirals was less than a moiety of its existing
dimensions, and the expense of its maintenance con-
sequently proportionately smaller, the navy has
been by that very prodigality of promotion and pay-
ment marred both in vigour and popularity. Again
and again we have argued against a persistance in
this mistaken arrangement. Again and again we have
been grievously disappointed in our hopes of improve-
ment again and again we have reverted to the mat-
ter in question for the purpose of proclaiming
a comprehensive change as requisite for the
safety of the island and for the character of
its most necessary defenders. Fortunately the
day-dream of reform, though long deferred, is
at, length giving tokens of its ulterior realization.
A document has recently been issued from head-
quarters sketching out a plan of retirement not only
for flag-officers, but for captains, commanders, and
lieutenants in like manner—so contrived as to pro-
mise a remarkable diminution without interfering in-
juriously with the personal interests of those engaged
in the profession.
According to the project marked out by the Ad-
miralty it is proposed to reduce the number of
officers at present on the Navy List in a manner cal-
culated to afford them opportunities for a really
remunerative retirement. Hitherto for some years
the admirals (exclusive of admirals of the fleet) have
been fixed at 150, and captains at 500, while com-
manders on the active list have amounted to 828, and
lieutenants to 2,147. By adopting the suggestions
now thrown out by the authorities the Government
will be enabled almost immediately to diminish the
number of admirals by 51, of captains by 150, of
commanders by 378, and of lieutenants by 947. In
order to effect this it will be necessary, of course,
to arrange that the existing list shall be dimi-
nished without detriment individually to such as
are actually enumerated upon it at this moment, and
without, at the same time, placing any unjust or in-
surmountable impediment in the way of those now in
expectancy. Briefly, then, the admirals may be
thus reduced to 99 in number, instead of absurdly
remaining at 150, as hitherto--by removing to per-
manent half-pay those now on the active list, who,
under the order in Council of June 30, 1827, have
not in addition to
that,servedthe retired service-pen-
orea thatti flag ; and,
service-pen-
sions of 150/. each, per annum, to be granted
by the for
on
to flag - officers on the active list who
are either above seventy years of age, or are incapa-
citated from further service by decrepitude. Such
pensions it is intended, however, are not to be held,
in any instance, in addition to the good service pen-
sions, and it is proposed that all such officers shall
be placed on the retired list, and others advanced
from the active list on all death vacancies. Some-
-what different, and in a manner also somewhat more
complicated, are the arrangements sketched, in ac,

cordance with which the number of captains on the
active list shall ultimately be reduced to 350
in the aggregate. For the purpose of bringing
about this extraordinary reduction, it is proposed
that as vacancies occur in the active list of flag-offi-

cers, the captain first in seniority, who has served for
his flag, shall be promoted, reserving, of course, her MA

who have risen to their flag, and who have not
JESTY'B royal privilege of selection, while such cap-
tainsserved, are placed on permanent half-pay, rising in rank
as at present, but with the half-pay of rear-admirals.
Added to which, the retirement of 1846 must be kept
open to the number of 200, until the list of captains be
reduced to the sum total already indicated—the re-
tired list then to be diminished by only retiring one
in two vacancies until it be reduced to 100, as well
as by permitting captains above 55 years of age, and
who have been on the captains'
list for ten years at

least, to be eligible for retirement. To accomplish
the reform held in view, namely, that of reducing the
captains to the desired maximum of 350, the rule of
promotion as now in force, of one in three,
will, moreover, be scrupulously observed. The
diminution of the number of commanders to
450, and lieutenants to 1,200, must be obviously
effected by a somewhat similar arrangement. It has,
therefore, been suggested by the Admiralty, that such
shall be done in the furmer instance " by the selec-
tion of 50, as before proposed ; by increasing to 100
the list of commanders promoted to the rank of re-
tired captains, under the order in Council, 1840, and
keeping such retirement open until the number of
commanders shall be diminished by the superfluous
378 ; by observing the promotion of one in three, as
at present practised ; by placing on permanent
half-pay all commanders who have not served
afloat, or in packet or revenue service,
within twenty years, or who are physically incapa-
citated from active service; and by continuing pe-
riodically to remove such officers from the active list
to permanent half-pay. With reference to the final
scheme of reduction, it is likewise intended that fifty
lieutenants shall, as suggested, be promoted by selec-
tion ; that all who have not served afloat within
twenty years, and all such as are physically unable to
serve, shall be placed on permanent half-pay ; and
that, as in the former instances, the old rule of
promotion of one in three shall be persisted
in until such time as the anticipated reform shall be
perfected. We have been thus particular in our ex-
planation of the admirable document, from our long
cherished conviction that a comprehensive change of
this kind was essential to the interests at once of the
naval profession itself, and also in a particular manner
to those of the United Kingdom. In announcing the
advance thus made by the authorities we cannot re-
main indifferent to the propitious prospects held out
to the nation in this and so many other directions in
regard to the chances of financial improvement.
Neither can we refrain from exulting in the tardy
concession of a boon for which we ourselves in the
columns of this journal have so long, so earnestly,
and so pertinaciously clamoured. It cannot, we pre-
sume, be altogether forgetter among our other ardent
exertions as political reformers.

It is with profound emotions of pleasure that we
would now briefly direct attention to an incident
which occurred yesterday in the Court of Common
Council, an incident which confers the utmost honour
upon our ancient corporation. The notice of motion
inscribed upon the paper of business, to the effect
" that this Court do present a respectful address to
Lord Viscount PAL➢IERSTON, her MAJESTY'S Prin-
cipal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs,
intreating that he will be pleased, promptly
and energetically, to use his influence with the
Government of the Sublime Porte to procure the kn.
mediate liberation of the illustrious KOSSUTH and his
companion captives confined in the fortress of
Kutayah," was postponed in consequence of a report
that the distinguished personage referred to had not only
been already liberated, but that he might be imme-
diately expected, if he had not actually arrived before
this, in our metropolis. And.the LORD MAYOR there-
upon, with a graceful hospitality, remarked that he might
himself have the honour of entertaining the glorious
leader of the Hungarians, among other illustrious
foreigners. Whenever the Great KOSSUTH does hap-
pily reach the shores of England, the citizens of
London, we doubt not, will accord a becoming wel-
come to the noble Magyar, who has acquired in
Europe the glory obtained in America by WASH..
IEGTON.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Patric publishes the following leiter from M. DE
PERSIGNY :

"Paris, May 1.
"I declare that the visit which I had the honour to make
to General Changarnier was only caused by communications
which I had reason to believe emanated from the General
himself. add,that, far from having received any mission
from the President of the Republic, I did not tell him of
this proceeding. Finally, I maintain that the version of our
conversation which has appeared in the Ordre, Independance
Beige, and other journals, is completely false."
The Assembly was occupied yesterday with the dis-
cussion of the Western Railway Bill, of which it passed
50 clauses.

The Government has formally withdrawn the Bill for
Et grant of money to Marshal JEROME BONAPARTE.
The Bourse was unusually animated, and a vast amount
of business was transacted. The Five per Cents. opened at
80f. 50c., and closed at 90f. 75c.; the Three per Cents.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated
at 4,000 bales, of which 500 were taken for export and on
speculation. The market is flat without alteration in prices.
—Railway Shares were dull at rather lower prices.
The position of the Bank of England varied but little last
week, either as respects liabilities or assets. The bullion was
but slightly reduced in amount, and the circulation stood
almost as before. The amount to the credit 'of the Govern-
ment shows an increase. and a ill steadily progress during
the rest of the quarter. In the discounts and loans there ap-
pears to have been a reduction. Compared with the previous
