L')NDON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1858.

The Times wishes the People patiently to en-
dure the iniquitous Income Tax for another year.
It says—" In our:own sober judgment it is rather
too late to commence a movement against a one-
year's tax which has stood the ordeal of a Session,
and which the nation has acquiesced in without
much remonstrance for nearly nine months." It
adds—" On the Eve of 1857, and for one year
only, there is so little hope of any result, that
we feel it to be mere loss of power and time to
attempt it. The amount of the tax is necessary
to the Chancellor of the Exchequer's financial
arrangements, and when every sixpence of
it has been paid in the late war will still
have left the addition of many millions to
the National Debt, and, consequently, of
many hundred thousands to our annual
outgoings. Nor is this a time to be stinting the
Treasury !" Now, we earnestly and emphatically
protest against this " dilatory plea." We have
seen too much of the evil consequences of shelving
a subject on which the popular enthusiasm has
been thoroughly aroused. We say to the People,
" Agitate ! Agitate ! ! Agitate !! !" Redouble
your exertions. Send up indignant protests from
every town and village from every district
throughout the length and breadth of the land.
unsparingly expose the gross fraud of continuing
the burden longer than the time for which it
was granted by Parliament and sanctioned by
the People. Explain the palpable injustice
of placing in the same category, and charging at
the same rate, the hardly acquired and precarious
earnings of industry, and the proceeds of carefully
selected investments of accumulated and realised
property. Show all these matters plainly forth,
multiply petitions, and call on your representa-
tives to support them, and Sir G. C. LEWIS must
yield, even as Sir CHARLES WOOD yielded before
a similar pressure. The impost will be consider-
ably modified ; and although it may not be ren-
dered perfectly equitable, there will be so great
an approximation thereto that the nation will be
contented to bear the burden patiently and sub-
missively.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—M.
JULLIEN'S ANNUAL BAL MASQUE,
Monday, December 22.
M. JULLIEN has the honour to announce that his GRAND
ANNUAL BAL MASQUE will, this year, take place at her
Majesty's Theatre, on Monday, December 22.
Under ordinary circumstances, M. Jullien would have felt
that the patronage hitherto bestowed on his Annual Enter-
tainment, and the general satisfaction evinced on every occa-
sion, rendered it unnecessary for him to add one word to the
mere announcement of the Ball. A recent event, however,
makes it imperative on him to draw the attention of his kind
patrons to the fact, that after 17 years of constant labour and
care, he has succeeded in transforming the trivial entertain-
ment, formerly known as the " Masquerade," into the mag-
nificent Fete of the Bal Masque, and in placinc, it on a level
with those given in the largest establishments of Europe—at the
Academie Imperiale of Paris, the Imperial Theatres of St.
Petersburg and Vienna, and the Theatre Royal of Berlin—
Fetes which the Sovereigns of those capitals do not disdain
to honour with their presence. Having thus raised the cha-
racter of those Entertainments, M. Jallien is satisfied that
the public will not hold llim responsible for the ill-directed
efforts of plagiarists and imitators.
M. Jullien's Bal Masque will be given this year with the
same splendour as before, and will take place at her Majesty's
Theatre—an establishment already famous for the magnificent
Balls which have, under the most distinguished patronage,
been given within its walls. M. Jullien feels confident that
this, his Seventeenth Bal Masque in England, will, for bril-
liancy and splendour, have never been equalled.
The Orchestra will eomprise one hundred and ten musi-
cians.

There is not, so far as we have seen, the slightest
desire "to stint the Treasury." Every legitimate
demand will be cheerfully responded to. But we
are not children. We shall not tolerate deception
or foul play in any form. Let Sir G. C. LEWIS
come forward honourably and manfully. Let him
open his budget distinctly ; showing the supplies
that are required, and the ways and means by
which they may be obtained. Let the whole
question of Income Tax be fully discussed, and be
will have no cause to regret the result. His evil
counsellors are those who recommend a "Fabian"
policy—who fancy that by vexatious procrastina-
tion he can wear out the spirit of the Eng-
lish people. The necessary funds will be
provided ; the national establishments main-
tained in full efficiency ; and every public
liability promptly and unhesitatingly discharged.
But we cannot listen to the plea of necessity when
it runs counter to the demands of honesty and
good faith. We do not wish to see a Cabinet
Minister putting forward a whining appeal more
becoming a pickpocket awaiting his sentence in a
court ofj us ace.

Principal Cornet-a-pistons--Horr Koenig and M. Duhem.

Conductor—M. JULLIEN.

The newest and most fashionable music will be played, in-
cluding several new polkas, waltzes, and quadrilles, composed
expressly by M. Jullien for his concerts, and for this

Ceremonies, whose arrangements will be strictly carried out.
No one will be admitted except in evening dress or fancy
costume.

The great excitement already manifested, the
numerous and influential meetings held, the firm
but temperate expression of public opinion, has
alarmed the Times, and the clique of which it is
the representative. Had it been otherwise it
would not have offered such insidious advice, or
endeavoured to postpone the evil day. Despite
its positive assertions, we declare unhesitatingly
that the Income Tax will not die a natural
death in April, 1858. It is too convenient an
instrument to be dispensed with by any Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer. From listening to
similar arguments in 1853 we have been saddled
with the incubus ever since. Had the People
then persevered in the spirit and with the zeal
and energy in which they entered on the contest,
it would long since have been placed on a just
and substantial foundation, and each man would
have contributed fairly and according to his means
to the national exigences. But the Times, which
following sed Longo intervallo, the popular opinion,
had proved the palpable unfairness of the so-
called " equal apportionment," grasped at the de-
ceitful and hypocritical professions of Mr. GLAD-
STONE. It expatiated on the blessings of the gradual
reduction and ultimate extinction of the tax. In
vain we uplifted a warning voice. The CERBERIIS
was drugged by the medicated sop, so dexterously
administered. The object was attained, and the
iniquitous impost was continued without change,
or modification, for five years longer, in place of
three
years,t the longelst termbe previously granted.
A similar
made. The article
in the Times shadows forth the nature of the tac-
tics about to be adopted. But if the people be
only true to themselves the trick will be signally
and decisively defeated, and its concoctors will
have bitter cause to deplore their reckless experi-
ment on public credulity.
The Thnesclearly, albeit unconsciously, indicates
the class for which it writes, that can command
its sympathies. It says—" The tax-gatherer
