THE TEA. DUTIES.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER pro.,
posed the following reso'utiou : "That in lieu of the
duties of customs now chargeable on tea imported into the
United Kingdom the following duties shall be charged—
To sth Apr 1. 1857, inticsive, Ist 9d, per pound ; from
and after sth April, 18E7, to sth April, 1858, inclu,ive,
ls. sd. per pound." He said—Before I submit this re-
solution to the committee I am desirous cf offering some
explanations which wi'l apply to the objections that
have been made to the plan as I originally proposed it.
The object which I had in view was to moderate the
amount of direct taxvion pressing upon the country
in the shape of income tax, and to reduce it to that
amount at which it stood before the commencement
of the war, and at which it had remained since its im-
position by Sir R. Pet in 1842, Only one proposition
had been made for a higher rate than 7d. before the
commencement of the war. That was made by Lord J.
Russell, in order to support a plan for enlarged army and
navy estimates. He then proposed to renew the income
tax for five years—fir the fir.t 2 years at 121. in the
pound, and for the 3 following years at 7d. That plan
was objected to by the house. The large e.titnates were
subsequently reduced, and the contemplated increase
to 121, for two years was n persisted in. There-
fore, there was no exampls, until the commencement of
the lAte war, of a higher rate than 7d. It therefore ap-
peared to me, looking at the strong feeling which pre-
vailed in the country on the subject of the income tax,
extending to all classes of the community, not evenex-
cepting that class upon whom the income tax doer not
directly press, that it was desirable to return to the rate
which prevailed during the peace, and to make up what
re
what.
e •er deficiency might occur in the annual taxation,
)
eui rerice to a small itierea',e in the indirect taxes. r neth-
direct tax-s augmented during the war were the spirit
duty, the malt duty, and the duties on tea and sugar..
The spirit duty tad been fix-n 1 by a permanent act of
Parliament, and the present rate of duty will continue
until altered by the house. Itproducesin round numbers
about one million and a half in addition to the rates which
existed before the war. That may be taken as a perma-
nent addition to the revenue. The malt duty ceased, by
the operation of the act, on the sth July last. No doubt
it would have been competent for me, in the last session,
to have proposed the prolongation of that duty till
tis end of the present financ al year, which would have ,
afforded the house an opportunity before the end of the
year to re-consider that duty with the view of continu-
ing some portion of the increased war duty. My reasons

VERNM:ENT) BILL.
Mr. LABOITCHER,E moved that the order for the

ment did not intend to proceed further with it during
the present session.
The motion was agreed to, and the order was dis-
charged.
INDUSTRIAL SCITOOLS BILL.
Sir S. NORTHCOTE moved that this bill be com-
mitted pro forma. in order that i t might be reprinted.
Mr. BOWYER oppo,,ect the motion, and submitted
that as the bill was likely to leaul to considerable dis-
cussion, it (ought not to be further proceeded with during
the present session.
Lord PALMERSTON said he hoped there would be
no division on the question of the bill being committed
pro forma.
Mr. BOWYER said he would not divide.
The house then went into committee, and the bill
having passed through committee pro forma, the house
resumed.

THE INCOME TAX.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
be begged leave to move for leave to bring in a bill

namely, a bill to reduce the income tax to sevenpence
in
the pound on all incomes above 1501. a year, and five-
pence in the pound on all incomes of 1001. a year, and
not exceeding 1501.
Leave was given to bring in the bill, and it was
brought in and read a first time.
TRANSPORTATION BILL.
On the motion of Sir G. GREY the order for the
second reading of this bill, which stood for Monday►
was discharged.

The house then adjourned at twenty-five minutes to
twelve o'clock.

Mr. Goddard's name was aroneously inserted in the
list of pairs on Mr. Cobden's resolution. That gentle•
man had obtained leave from the house, and was absent
from two divisions on account of ill health.

NroN, SATURDAY, MARCH 7, 14b7.

The Atrocities of the Chinese—not merely their
insult-4, contumelies, and prevarications—impera-
lively require now to he at once and very
avenged. The atrocious massacre of the crew of
the Thistle, the infamous poisoning of the British
residents at Hong Kong, the brutal outrages per-
petrated by the Chinese mob at Singapore, the
wanton burning of our factories at Canton, the
blood-money set by YEH upon the heads of Eng-
lishmen—all these things absolutely demand forth-
with the stretched-out arm, the keen sword, the
trenchant blow of England descending, as it
were, upon the iustmt, and with a deadly force,
upon the necks of the great anomalous race of
Asia, the Civilised-B rbarians of the Celestial
Empire ! Enormous crimes have been already
committed those crimes must be promptly
and adequately expiated. Fourteen years
have elapsed,
during; which an important
clause in the solemn 'Treaty of Nankin has been
evaded—that clause must now at length be recog-
nised and acted upon by the Canton authorities.
Measures must, without any further delay what-
ever, be adopted to prevent -the possibility of
.
being again insulted with the British flag
im-
punity, and to preclude Vie chance of another in-
solent rejection of an interview with her Britannic
MAJESTY'S duly authorised diplomatic representa-
tive. All tbit, we rest confidently assured, will
be effected, and that, moreover, with as little
delay as is at all practicable—for the one simple
but sufficient reason that Lord PALMERSTON is at
the head of her MAJESTY'S Government.

The Himalaya has already taken its departure.
Other vessels, the fastest screw-steamers anywhere
procurable, ought to follow immediatelvin her wake,
carrying troops and munitions of wart) the scone
of action—concentrating the whole military and
naval etrenyth of England upon the salient points
along the China seaboard. It sheAld be remem-
bered, moreover, that, fresh from the Russian
conflict, we have now actually ready to hand, at
our instant disposal, a gigantic and effective force
of gun-boats and floating batteries. No con-
sideration of expense whatever ought in reason,

THE MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCESS

ROYAL.

The Cross Berlin newspaper states on authentic infor-
mation that the ceremony of betrothal of her Royal
Highness the Princess Royal to Prince Frederick Wil-
liam will take place at Londo❑ during the month of
May, and that the Prince and Princess of Prussia will
accompany their popular and respected son to England
for the purpose. The marriage, adds the Cross, is defi-
nitely fixed for the 21st of November, or as soon after
as possible. The new married couple, it is believed, will
remain in England for a month or more and there pass
the Christmas holidays, after which they will commence
their journey to the Prussian dominions, and make
their entry in state into Berlin immediately after new
year, by which time the palace now fitting up for their
residence will be fully completed and properly aired.

f Tward General Perronet Thompson for the repre-

a better choice of a candidate than in this veter-in
Reformer. He only lost the election la,t time by
some six or seven votes. The Gallant General's
mind is as vigorous as ever, his faculties are as
acute, and his attachment to the Liberal cau-e has
experienced no diminution with the lapse (,f years.

London. Certain influen. ial citizt•ns, whose names

we forbear to mention at present, having been in-
debted to his lordship for personal benefits, others
from along-lived political sympathy, proposed him
yesterday in their clubs. But; we believe, there
was much diversity of opinion as to whether he eau
be re•urned with Mr. Black. His friends intend,
in the Ainertian phiase to Wart Lord John and
Mr- Black aq " one ticket." Should they pe se-

THE TIPPERARY BANK APPEALS.

The Lord Chancellor gave judgment this after-
noon on the appeal from the order of the Master of
the Rolls in' the case of " Ginger" and the other
English shareholders. The Lordt' Chanceller dis—
carded all questions in the cae save what he con-
sidered to be the.real and main point for discus-
sion—whether Mr. Ginger bad become a member
of the copartnership or was in any sense a contri-
butory to the duties or engagements of it. He
did not think that it was at all thrown upon a pur•
chaser of shares to take any substantive motion in
a court of equity, save as had been done here, to
relieve himself from the responsibility of being a
contributory ; he therefore looked upon the pro-
ceedings in the present case as if they had beenupon
a bill filed by the purchaser for the purpose of hav-
ing his name erased from the share register-book
and the assignment of shares annulled. His lord-
ship said that the whole question in the case was
narrowed to the consideration whether in point of
fact Mr. Ginger had not been deceived and de-
frauded in the very essence of the t•ausaction, by
being led to suppose that he was buying one thing
when in point of fact he was buying another. It
appeared to him to be a clear case of fraud and
conspiracy on the part of John and James Sadleir,
and, therefore, Mr. Ginger having been defrauded
by them, as the agents of the other shareholders,
he could not be held to be a contributory for the
liabilities entailed upon them by the misconduct of
those to wbom they intrusted the management of
their affairs. The order of the Rolls should there-
fore b affirmed, and with costs. The order of the
Master of the Rolls was likewise affirmed pro forma
in the cases of Mr. Sterling and Mr. J. Bitch Ken-
nedy, with a view to their being argued at once
before the Court of Appeal, which it is understood
will sit on Monday.

Country Markets.

LIVERPOOL—MARCH 6.
At this morning's market we had a moderate attendance of
millers and dealers. The demand for wheat was fair, and 11
tolerable business resulted by holders submitting to ld
2d per bushel decline. Flour did not decline, having been
overpressed and reduced in price previously. Indian COIII

SARDINIA.

In the sitting of the 3d of the Chamber of Depu-
ties at Turin, the committi e on petitions propos-
ed the order of the day for one addre3sed by various
shareholders of the Sardinan submarine telegraph
company, claiming the 5 per cent. guaranteed to
their shares by the Government. M. Ctvalli, with
the observation that Mr. Brett had done all that
an honest man could do to perform his contract,
moved an or ler of the day inviting the Govern-
ment to promote as much as possible the continu-
ation of the line to the African shore. M. Paleo-
capa, minister of public works, said that Mr.
Brett had received every possible encouragement
from the Government, and had been even grant-
ed two delays. Were the Government to pay
the interest, before the line were completed ac-
cording to contract, the Corsican telegraph would
not cover that outlay. If Mr. Brett had promised
the shareholders 5 per cent. before it could justly
be called for, that was a matter to be r•ettle,d be-
tween him and them, and the government had
nothing to do with it. The Chamber then pas,ed
to the order of the day, as proposed by the com-
mittee.

It is believed at Berne that the Royalist fugi-
tives at Morteau are about to make another attempt
to obtain possession of Neuchatel, but the diploma-
tic world does not share the apprehensions of the
Swiss. In fact, nothing could be more fatal to the
King of Prussia's claims on Neuchatel than a repe-
tition of the scene which took place in September,
1856.

In the preliminary conference on the Neuchatel
question, and at which neither the Prussian nor the
Swiss Plenipotentiary was present, the renunciation
of the Royal authority in that canton was proposed
as the basis of future negotiations.

Tile Pays announces, on the authority of a pri-
vate letter from Cadiz, that an insurrection had
broken out at Mexico, in consequence of the Presi-
dent Comonfort, who is sai to be very favourable
to the Americans of the United States, having de-
clared that he intended to contract a loan with a
banking-house in New York.

It Would appear that the representatives of
several of the European Powers desire to profit by
Feruk Khan's sojourn in Paris to negotiate treaties
of friendship and commerce. Among these Austria,
Spain, and the United States are mentioned.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 14th have arrived.
The Espana denounces with some vehemence the
supposed project of the United States against Cuba,
and accuses President Buchanan of personally en-
couraging them. With regard to the proposition
for purchasing the island, which it says the new
Minister of the United States, who is about to
arrive in Madrid, is expected to make, the Espana
declares that Spain cannot entertain it without
dishonour. But the United States will seize the
first opportunity, either " by piratical expeditions,
or exciting insurrections, or any other mode what-
ever," of possessing themselves of the island, the
Espana does not doubt, and it complains that
under such circumstances the Government displays
" a great want of caution, and an inexplicable
security." At Vittoria, the birth of the Prince of
the Asturias had been celebrated with extraordinary
pomp, and in numerous other towns there had
been rejoicings. The Gazette publishes addresses
of congratulation to the Queen on the occasion.
The report that Marshal O'Donnell was likely to
take command of the Halberdiers at the palace is
stated to be unfounded ; but it is alleged that he
and his friends though maintaining a certain degree
of independence intend to support the Government.
The rumours that ministerial changes were immi-
nent which had been current for some time had at
last died away, and the organs of the Cabinet say
it possesses the full confidence of the Crown. The
Duke de Valencia (Narvaez) having been men-
tioned as likely to enter a new ministerial combi-
nation, the Estado says that he has no desire to
return to power. Nothing has been settled with
regard to the choice of a President for the Chamber
of Deputies.

DENMARK.

A Copenhagen letter of the 13th says :—" The
First Chamber has followed the example of the
Second, and voted almost unanimously the sum
of 450,000 rixdollers, asked for by the Minister
of Finance, to be devoted to the most pressing
wants of the commercial community. A fresh
sum of money has just been sent to the banking
house of which the Danish consul-general at Ham-
burg is head, and one of the directors of the Bank
of Copenhagen still remains at Hlmburg to take
up the bills over due, and which the Bank had put
into circulation after they had discounted them.
Yesterday, a deputation of four of the principal
merchants went to the palace of Fredricksborg, to
request the King to grant out of the reserve
fund of the monarchy, a temporary loan of four
millions of rixdollars (nearly twelve millions of
francs) on good guarantee and on the deposits of
merchandise. The King replied that he had been
made aware of the present deplorable condition of
Danish commerce, that he hoped those sufferings
would be but of short duration, and that as a con-
stitutional sovereign he would arrange with his
Government for the prompt adoption of measures
to ward off the effects of the crisis which weighs so
heavily on the whole country."
BELGIUM.

In the Belgian Chamber of Representatives, yes-
terday, M. Verhaegen, a liberal member, was
elected President, by 60 votes to 32, given to M.
de Theux. M. Orts, liberal, and M. Dulez, of mo-
derate views, were nominated Vice-Presidents. The
bureau having been constituted, M. Verhaegen
ascended to the President's seat, and returned
thanks for the honour done him, declaring that he
looked on his nomination as a flattering reoompouso
for any services he might have rendered to his
country and his party. "I shall always remain,"
said the hon. gentleman, " what I have been
during my whole political career—attached to the
cause of order and liberty, and devoted to the con-
stitutional monarchy, which is the best guarantee
of public happiness and nationality. These are
points on which every shade of opinion in the
Chamber will agree. In conclusion, I have to
state that I shall endeavour to evince the strictest
impartiality in the exercise of my functions, ani
shall aim at urging on rapidly the business of the
Chamber." (Applause.) The sitting then termi-
nated. Of all the late election returns not one has
been invalidated.
