INDIA.

In answer to a question from on How. MEstowit;
Sir R. PEEL stated ►hat it had been the habit in conduct-
ing our relations with the East India Company, that they (the
Company) should make advances from time to time to the
Government of this country for the expenses incurred for the
service of the East India Company's Government. Such ad•
vances had been made by the East India Company, and, if he
recollected right, the Company had at the present moment
340,0001. Her Majesty's Government prop sed to make an
advance to meet the expenses of the Government of the East
India Company in this country to the amount of 400,0001.,
which would be equivalent to a corresponding advance made
by the East India Company on account of the expenses of that
Government in conducting the war in Affghanistan. It would
be a great convenience to them if the Government of
this country would make a further advance in
two sums of 200,000/, each at the present time.
Those were advances which would hereafter be settled. The
advances they engaged to make, or contemplated making, were
such as would be a set off to the corresponding. advances made
by the East India Company. The whole amount would be
about 800,000/., of which 400,000!. were advances for money
already paid.
Mr. lIUME said he did not think the Right Hon. Baronet
gave the exact answer. He apprehended the object of the
question was to ascertain whether the British Treasury was to
pay any part of the money advanced by the East India Com-
pany, or whether they were to pay it only in the first instance.
S►r R. PEEL said that he alluded to advances made on ac-
count of the Government in this country. He answered the
question put to him ; and he could say nothing of any other
question. The advances stipulated for were sums to be repaid.
INCOME TAX.

I%lr. LABOUCHERE wished to know from the Chancellor
of the Exchequer when he would make his statement of the ex-
penses to be incurred in bringing the machinery of the Income-
tax into operation ? He thought it was right that the state-
ment should be made before the third reading of the Bill.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he was
ready to make the statement now, but he would rather defer it
till he spoke on the subject itself.
INDIAN DESPATCHES.
_ _ _

Mr. D'ISRAELI said that as he was going to allude to a
subject of much importance, and one which involved a cha"ge
of a personal nature against a Right Hon. Gentleman, he
hoped the Halm would allow him to place the wiestion before
them in its proper light. About the third session of the last
Parliament the Right Hon. Gentleman, in his official capacity
as President of the Board of Control, laid on the table of the
House a variety of documents, consisting of state papers and
political despatches,
the object of which was to explain and vin-
dicate the invasion by the Indian Government of those countries
commonly known under the name of Central Asia. The most
important portion consisted of despatches from an individual
who had bean sent as Envoy to the city of Cabool,
but many of those despatches were suppressed by the Home Go-
vernment. A portion of those dispatches which vi c, e
public were published. Sir Alexander Burnes had charac-
terised the production of the correspondence in which it hail
appeared as little more than pure fraud and trickery. Fie
wished to ask the Right Hon. Gentleman whether he could
explain why he adopted steps with respect to the despatches of
a British Minister which that Minister had described as pure
fraud and trickery.
Sir J. C. HOBHOUSE said the letters to which the Hon.
Gentleman had alluded were not laid on the table as the whole
of the fetters and despatches of Sir Alexander Rurnes. On
the contrary, there being in all thirty-six letters, thirty of them
were described as extracts. It was never intended to repre-
sent them as despatches in ertenso. There was nothing what-
ever to bear out the inference which the Hon. Gentleman
seemed to draw from the omissions. The Hon. Gentleman
would find two letters, dated October, 1837, in which the
opinion of Sir A. Burnes with respect to the settlement
affairs was distinctly stated. There was no wish whatever
to conceal the opinion of Sir Alexander Burnes on that sub-
ject. So much, then, for the omissions—omissions which he
had not the least wish to disprove, since it was impossible for
any State department to print papers received from agents em-
ployed on foreign stations exactly as they were written.—
( Hear, hear.) With respect to the alterations, he would tell
the Hon. Gentleman what was their precise nature. No altera-
tion or substitution was made, except such as were positively
called for by a doe regard to the public interest. If the de-
spatches had been published in the very words in which they
were written, personal offence might have been given in quar-
ters where such offence might have led to the most grave,
serious, and mischievous results. No change was made which
in the least degree affected the spirit or termer of the letters.
If despatches were printed as they were written, the confidential
agents of the Government would be afraid to give such informa-
tion as they now felt it, their duty to afford. The Hon. Gentle-
man who had asked him this question must consider that the
late Government were aware that their su cessors would have
the means of printing the whole of the correspondence if they
thought it necessary or desirable to do so. Personally, it would
'be a matter of perfect indifference to him if every scrap of
paper which had ever been addressed to the Board of Control
from India was printed by the House of Commons. The
Hon. Gentleman was aware that there was a notice on the
paper for the month of June, for the production of other papers.
When those papers were moved for, he would do his best to
give an answer, but at present he could not say more than he
had done.
NEWGATE.—CONDEMN ED SERMONS.

Mr. V. SMITH, seeing the Right Hon. Baronet the Secre-
tary of State fur the Home Department in his place, wished to
put a question to him. It appeared, from the public prints,
that in the chapel of Newgate, on' Sunday week, on the occasion
of preaching the condemned sermon, there took place a scene
that appeared to him highly improper, and indecent in the ex-
treme. Orders were issued by the Sheriff to admit particular
individuals, and among that number, he was sorry to say, were
many females of rank and sta ion, and in fact, the whole mat-
ter appeared much more like a theatrical parade, which was
most revolting when it was recollected what the occasion was.
He wished to know from the Right Hon. Baronet, whether he
had any power or control to put down such exhibitions ; be-
cause if he had, he was sure he would do so; if he had not, he
wished to know what authority should be applied to for such a
purpose.
Sir J. GRAHAM said that the Secretary of State for the
Home Department had no power over the civic authorities
of London. He had, however, always futinil the utmost readi-
ness on the part.of those authorities to attend to every sugges-
tion from the Home Department that was conducive to the
general good. They very much agreed with what had fallen
from the Right Hon. Gentleman. As to his regret at what
had occurred, certainly the scene that took place was calcu-
lated to disturb the last moments of an individual whose life
had been forfeited to the laws. He was quite satisfied that any
suggestion from the Home-office would have its due effect.
BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE.

In answer to a question from Lord J. RUSSELL,
Sir ROBERT PEEL said, he should not take any Order
of the Day in preference to notices of motions, unless it were
the Income-tax. They had now nearly arrived at a period,
the Ist of June, when the House would not be indisposed to
give an additional day to the Orders. As soon as the Income-
tax should be disposed of, he would give notice of a resolu-
tion to that effect.

Mr. ROEBUCK said, he wished to bring on the Wit-
nesses Indemnity Bill that evenin4, and if the House would
permit him, he would move that the Order of the Day for the
(nether consideration of the Report on the Witnesses In-
demnity Bill be read.
Sir IL PEEL, in opposing the motion, said he was not
taking any advantage, but was acting in strict conformity with
notices. . . .

A short conversation took place, from which it. was under-
stood that the Income-tax should have the precedence of the
Orders of the Day.
INCOME-TAX—THIRD READING.

The Order of the Day for the third reading of the Property..
tax Bill, was then read.
Mr. HUME said that as he had not been present at the in-
troduction of the measure then before the House, he trusted he
might be permitted to indulge in a few observations. (The
noise occasioned by a host of Members leaving the House, ren-
dered the Hon. Gentleman for some time inaudible. A t
length the Hon. Gentleman paused, and after the confusion
had somewhat subsided, the Hon. Gentleman resumed.) He
was anxious to state the views which he took of the measures
brought forward by the Right Hon. Baronet to meet the
difficu'ties of the country, and also his opinion of the difficul-
ties which the Right Hon. Baronet had encountered in taking
charge of the Government. He believed he was warranted in
concluding that the proposed alterations in the tariff would
pass into a law—that the Corn. law was all which the Right
Hon. Baronet meant to propose to the House on that subject
—and that the Income-tax was the only other measure on
which the Government relied for relieving the difficulties and
distresses of the country. He (Mr. Hume) was sorry to say
that he took a different view of what was likely to be the re-
sult of the Right Hon. Baronet's measures. He believed that
the Right Hon. Baronet was fully aware of the state of distress
existing among the manufacturing population of the country,
and he believed that the Government had not adopted the
means best calculated to relieve that distress, because they had
not duly considered its causes. It was an error to suppose that
that distress was merely of a temporary nature. Years had
rolled on, and he had continued to raise his voice against
those evils. Our commercial system was conducted on a false
foundation. Ho had always insisted on the necessity of open-
ing additional outlets for the exchange of the industrial pro-
ducts of this country. He considered the restriction imposed
on our commercial relations as the primary cause of the dis-
tress. The second cause he considered to be the lavish ex-
penditure of the public money. The Right Hon. Baronet was
right in changing the taxes which pressed upon the industry
of the country for taxes upon capital,
but he ought to have
made due allowance for the enormous taxation which pressed
upon the manufacturing industry of the country. The Right
Hon. Baronet had not carried out his own principle. He had
said that he was desirous of affording means of relief to the
financial difficulties of the country, 'without pressing upon the
labouring classes; but he was sure that the taxation could not
be increased to 4,Q00,000/., without increasing the difficulties
of the labouring classes.
MESSAGE FROM. THE LORDS.—ADDRESS.

Messengers from the Lords were announced, and having
declared their message at the table, withdrew.
The SPEAKER announced that their Lordships had sent
word that it was her Majesty's pleasure that the two Houses
should attend her blajestyfat the Palace at three o'clock. He,
therefore proposed that he should take the Chair at a quarter
past two.
INCOME-TAX—ADJOURNED DEBATE.
Mr. HUME resumed. Had the Right Hon. Baronet
looked at the expenditure of the country ? Had he taken any
Measures for the effectual reduction of any of the large and un-
aecessary expenses which had been incurred during the last
five years, and which had led to all those difficulties? All that
the Right Hon. Baronet had stated was, that he did not believe
that any great reduction of expenditure could take place.
Did the Right Honourable Baronet sxpect that by taking
4,000,0001. more from the capital of the country, to be wasted
in war or ether useless expenditure, be would afford any relief
cr whiche
adt hi,ex
to the distressed poor of the country ? He (Mr. Hume)
would only tell him, judging from past experience, that he
was likely to be disappointed. He knew of no in,tance in
pfiennan(licteisi: the country were in difficulties without
the Hohse immediately proceeding to inquire into the causes
of. those ffifficalties, and. into the state of the revenue ; and
how 'far it Was possible to make reductions to meet'the in-
of the country, or confine that expendi-
ture: witbin proper-bounds.- Had he been in the Honk in the
early part of the session, he would have pre,sed upon the Go-
vernment ilia propriety of appointing a Finance Committee.
In 1817 a Fihance Committee had been appointed, and all its
Reports pointed out the means whereby relief could be af-
forded. The relult was, that great advantage had been de-

rived from the inquiries set on -foot by that Committee. In
the year 1828, also, a Finance Committee bad been nomi-
nated; and though it only sat me session, yet it sat long j
enough to show the great causes of the country's
expen,e, and how that expense could be diminished.
The Right Hon. Baronet said that the honour of the country
must be supported at the expense of the country; but why
were those wars entered into? Because they needlessly med-
dled in the affairs of other countries, and they were now pay-
ing the penalty. He regretted that the late Government,
who came into office stating hat reform, economy, retrench-
ment, peice, and nen-intervention, were the principles on
which they would act, violated the pledges they gave, and
plungsd the country into expenses for objects Wally worthless.
But he must say, that the present Government ale aye showed'
themselves ready to support the late one in those views. The
Noble Lord the late Secretary for Foreign Affairs was pre-
sent, and he would forgive him (Mr. Hume) for stating
frankly that he considered him (Lord Palmerston) as the chief
cause of those expenses which were incurred in useless wars—
that he was the evil genius who led the Goverrment into the
mire, where they we•e found by the Right Hon. Baronet—
( Laughter.) He did not think the past history of the country
would sfford another example of the Government having re-
course to a Queen's letter to get charity to relieve the distresses
of the country. The Right. Hon. Baronet had promulgated
sound principles of free trade; but he believed that
nothing weuld relieve the di tresses of the country but a
complete free trade in corn, and every other kind of provision .
He could only suppsse that the Right Hon. Baronet had been
compelled to propose these half-and-half measures, in order to
meet the wishes of those around him. What was the condition
of the cotintry might be learnt from the Report of the Com-
mittee of Distress. From that Report it appeared that en
Stockport failures of mill-owners were constantly occurring,
and that the distress of the people had assumed a most ag-
gravates! form. NI hat was said of Stockport would, however,
apply equally to Burnley, Manchester and other places, fin.-
marly the hives of industry, their people happy, contented, and
comfortable. Could the Hight. Hon. Baronet celieve that the
paltry change which he proposed to make in the Corn-laws
would produce any real benefit? Was it possible that he
thought such small and trifling. changes as he proposed to
make in the tariff could have any immediate effect on the feed-
ing, happiness, end employment of the people ? Why did he
not meet the difficulty by reducing the twenty-four millions of
expenditure ? The Right Hon. Baronet knew that on former
occasions, when the amount of saving that might be effected in
the expenditure of the country was brought before the House,
it had been urged that they should not take a farthing more
from the public than necessary ; that to effect great reduc-
tions they should look at. their army and navy as they were the
principal objects of expense. He knew the manner
in which that appeal was met by the Right Hon. Baronet, hut
he did not analyse the subject, and see what was necessary to
the protection ..f the country and what was not. lie would
simply look at the number of men in arms in the army and
navy at several different periods. In 1792 the whole marine of
the country consisted of 16 000 men • the army, 45,000 men ;
the artillery, 4.000 men. In 1822 the navy consisted of 21,000
men, the army of 6,8,000, anti the artillery 6,250, in the whole
97,000 men. This year the navy had 42,000 men, the army
95,600, the artillery 8,864, in the whole 146,01;0 men. The
Right Hon. Baronet had asked him if he would reduce their
naval force, and he had said he (Mr. Hume) would do so. The
expedition to China had cost the country b,000,000/. The
next foolish act was interfering with the affairs of Syria. What
necessity, he would ask, was there for such an interference ?
There was, at the present moment, 34 ships of war in the Me-
diterranean, and the expense of that force amounted to upwards
of 1,000,000/. a year. This Showed the manner in which the
public finances had been mismanaged. He believed that
900,000/. of that amount might have been saved :
he had no doubt that, in every other branch, similar extrava-
gances bad taken place. In 1840, there were 14,600 men at
one place alone; in December 1841, there wee, e 41 ships and
12,700 men in the Mediterranean. Now what had bi en the
result of the Syrian expedition? Why that the Sultan himself
had requested Alehemet Ali to march into Syria, and take pos-
session of it. He might talk to them of Canada, where they
had 15,000 men, and an expensive establishment, for no other
purpose than that of keeping down men who wanted an Execu-
tive Government ; and, after the expenditure of five millions of-
money, the Government had agreed that there ought to be an
Executive Government in that country. He thought there
ought to be inquiry on these subjects, and he should not rest
until such inquiry had been instituted. In 1822, he (Mr.
Hume) had strongly pressed on the Girvernment the necessity
of a reduction of the army. lie had moved an address to that
effect, which was carried, and the result was, that a reduction
of 10,000 men took place in a few months afterwards, and, in
the following year,. the estimates were lessened by
one million and a half sterling. Subsequently, however,
the unnecessary promotion of naval and military officers
increased the estimates again. He had said enough to show
that, :fit were not for the nnnecessary expenses.of the Syrian
and Chinese wars, and the useless promotions in the army
and navy, there would be no need of resorting to an Income-
tax to meet the expenditure of the Governmen'. In the year
1830, when Earl Grey's Government came into office, they
were so strongly pressed to lessen the taxation which then
burdened the country, that they yielded ; and in consequence,
in the period intervening between the years 1830 and 1835
eight millions of taxation were in the gross repealed. 872,0001.
had certainly been re-imposed during that thus"; but, allow-
ing for that, the reduction of the taxation of tile country was
7,220,0001. Let them mark what then nc eirred. From
1830 to 1833 a reduction of taxation of 7,000.0001. took place ;
the revenue was then 52,000,0001., and it only fell on the re-
duction to 49i millions sterling, thus giving an instance of the
elasticity of the revenue arising from the reduction of taxation.
In 1837 the taxation of the country amounted to 51,300,0001. ;
and it had unhappily gone on increasing. In 1839 it amounted
to 51,700,000/. ; in 1839, it amounted to 53.000,0001 ; in
1840 it again amounted to 53,000,000/. ; and in 1841 it
amounted to nearly 54,000,000/. He would tell the House,
too, that in his belief this country could have more easily paid
a few years ago 70 millions, than it could now pay 53 millions.
And why? Because trade was then in a sound and prosper-
ous condition, while it now languished. The prospects of the
country were at the present moment truly lamentable. He
was sorry to find that the Right Hon. Ihronet, instead of at..
tempting to relieve the national distress by a repeal of the
Corn-laws, had had recourse to a begging-letter, which should
never have been issued. He would take that opportunity of
expressing his regret at. the little sympathy manifested by the
clergy of the Established Church in the distresses of the people,
and at the little they had done for their relief. They seemed,
he was sorry to find, to have almost all allied themselves with
the richer classes. The majority of the clergy were leagued
with the aristocracy, and the labouring population of the coun-
try lad become influenced by a feeling against them. He had
supported the Poor-law Bill because he thought it was right
that the population of the country should be thrown on their
own resources ; but he protested against the keeping up a law for
rasing the price of corn, and rendering it difficult for a poor man
to procure a subsistence. He did not believe that the mea-
sures of the Right Hon. Baronet sr ould produce the relief that
was proposed. He had gene through the expenditure of the
country, and he could undertake to reduce three millions of the
expenditure, with no injury at all to the public service, within
the year. He had already pointed out the impolicy of the ex-
penditure for the Syrian expedition, undertaken in con,radic-
tion to the system of foreign policy laid down by Mr. Canning
and acceded to by Earl Grey. Taking the expen-e of the
Chin, se expedition, there would be a sum of twenty millions
required for a vote that had, up to .last year, been fourteen.
Still, had he known that the Right Hon. Baronet would bring
forward measures so excellent in principle, as far as his ex-
ertions could have gone he would not have been so long out
of offi,e.---( Hear, hear, and laugh ter.) But they bad expe-
rienced the bad effects of Tory rule, and they were afraid
of coming under their sway again ; they therefore
kept in something bad, in order to keep out some-
thing worse. But putting this aside, was the measure of
the Right Hon. Baronet calculated to remedy those evils ?
Nothing would do it but a reduction of taxation, and a free
trade in corn, without which no foreign nations would sym-
pathise with this fusion. His Queen's letter, and h's doling
out the public money, would only adil to the difficulties in which
they were placed. He therefore objected to the present mea-
sure, without. first instituting those preliminary inquiries, by
which they might ascertain what might be reduced in their ex-
peediture, and the causes of the distress. The principle of
taxing every kind of income, on the average of the last three
tears. ws.uld strove a very serious evil. He objected, also. to
the inquisitorial part of the plan. He did not, however, object
to a Property-tax; on the contrary, he would reduce six
millions of taxation, which pressed on the people, and lay the
burden on the property of the country. He gave his opposition
to the passing of the Bill on principle.

Sir C. NAPIER reminded the. Hon. GenCeman, and the
House, that in the years 1837 and 1838, the whole country,
from one end to the other, was crying out on the inefficient
state of their navy. It was to the credit of the Government
that flu y increased the estimates by me million and a half;
and now, while a war was raging in China—at the moment
when they had incurred a disaster in India, the operations of
which were not yet finished—( Hear, hear, from Sir R. Peel)—
when they saw that France had increased her navy by eight
sail of the line—he would ask the Hon. Gentleman, and the
House, whether this was a time in which it would be advisable
to make any reduction in their navy ?—( Hear, hear.) With
regard to the Income-tax, he thought it very unjust to tax
the man of a thousand a-year landed property, and the man who
realised the same amount from trade or industry, to the same
amount. Neither could he approve of the tariff of the Right
lion. Baronet, which kept up the duties on butter, cheese, sugar,
corn, and apples, all articles which were the food of the poor.
Colonel WYNDHAM repelled the motion that the forms of
Parliament allowed the Hon. Gentleman opposite to bring such
charges as he had done against the aristocracy of the country.
Mr. CURT EIS defended the course taken by the Hos.
Member for Montrose.

Mr. BARING fully concurred in the opinion expressed by
the Hon. Member who had just sat down, and he joined with
him in paying a just tribute to the consistency of the Hon.
Member for Montrose. He had always consistently advocated
economy, even when that word was least popular in that House.
With respect to the Bill before the House, the first question
was, was it likely to effect the object for which it was intended?
—( Hear.) Was that Bill to raise money from the country
in a fair and just mode ; and they, as he had often heard them
say, they did, by that Income-tax, lay the burden of taxation
in proportion to the ability of the party to pay.---( Hear.) By
this Bill they actually chargedlparties for an income while they
were in the receipt of no income whatever. If a person sus-
tained loss under one schedule he could not set that off
against the gain under another. Take the case of a merchant,
who was a holder of stock to the amount of 1,0001. a year, he
might lose by his trade two or three thousand a year ; yet
would he have to pay an Income-tax under the provisions of
this Bill. Now a principle of the Bill was that they were to
charge parties upon their income, and yet by the provisions of
the Bill itself, they were actually by Act of Parliament made to
pay a tax upon an income which they did not possess. There
was no such anomaly as this in the records of legislation, except
the single instance of the salt tax in Germany, by which the
consumer was made to pay, not according to his actual con-
sumption, but according to the notions of the tax-gatherer, who
levied the tax according to what he thought the party ought to
consume. 'rake the schedule D, the tenant's schedule. In
this case they transfered the tax from income to rent. .This
was no just means of ascertaining the profit of the occupier of
land. He came to the next schedule, and he must say that this
clause was in itself an argument against the ;Bill. In this
schedule, they charged terminable annuities the same as perma-
nent annuities. The Right Hon. Gentleman said there was no
breach of public faith, but this did riot make the case less un-
just or unfair. They proposed to charge 3 per cent. on that
part of the public fund; which vi erc merely the reimburse.
meats of the holder's capital.—(Hear, hear.) He
then came to the schedule for trades and professions.
By this clause manufacturers and traders would be subject to
as severe an investigation as they were subject to by former
Bills, and that, it, w uld be remembered, was an insurmount-
able objection, inasmuch as the manufacturers, in their petition
in 1816, said, that though the House lowered the charges, and
lessened the per tentage, they did not care for that so long
as the system of searching investigation continued He be-
bered this measure of investiAation would have a most injurious
effect upon the morals of the country ; perjury and fraud would
he constantly committed. Looking at the circumstances atten-
dant on other Income-taxes, he regretted to fear that perjury
and fraud would be extended so fir and wide as materially to
injure the char .cter of the British merchant at home and
abroad.—( Hear, hear.) These were the objections to which he
wished to draw the attention of the House, and though they
had been urged before, he must say that they had met with
no answer whatever from Gentlemen on the other side. He
thought the Bill was full of injustice ; injustice belonged to the
nature of the Bill, and could not be avoided in such a system ;
the inequalities in the Bill were greater than in all their other

taxation put together ; on these grounds he should give his
cordial opesitioti to the third reading of the Bill.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER trusted the I
House would forgive him for again troubling them with a few
observations, after the great number of times which '..e had
bad occasion to address them before. The Right Hon. Gen-
tleman who had just sat down had thought fit to repeat the
arguments which had already been made use of, and he laid
considerable stress upon the inequalities of the Bill. lie would
remind the Right Hon. Gentleman that a Bill precisely analo-
gous to the present was introduced
.in 1803 by one Alinistry,
and in 1806 by another. It had long been considered as an
advisable measure to impose a tax upon property, by classes of
the two extremes of pa, ty politics ; they would. see Mr.
Pitt and Mr. Fox both supporting it. The Right Honourable
Gentleman found objections to schedule B. 1-le corn-
pl tined that in the ease of the occupier of land an arbi-
trary assumption was made of his profits; and he said that )
no correct estimate could be formed of the profits from the
amount of. rent paid. This was an objection which applied to
the Bill from the earliest period, and was quite as apalicable in
the time of war as of peace. The Right Hon. Gentleman arid
it was wrong to levy the tax according to the rent, but were
not. all the local taxes, the poor-rate, the county rate, and other
charges levied in that way? The Right lion. Gentleman
objected to the Bill because he said it had a tendency to induce
the owners of land to sub-divide their property into small
farms ; but he (the Chancellor of the Eachequer ) did not see
!lox it could have that effect, because, if the capital was with-
drawn from the land and invested elsewhere, it would not
escape the operation of the tax ; and also when he considered
the advantages derived from large farms he did not think that.
for the sake of avoiding a tax of three per cent., the landlord
would diminish the size ref his farms. With regard to the next
schedule, relating to funded property, the Right lion, Gentle-
man urged the same objections which were stated on a
former occasion. With regard to the objection ari.ing from
the supposed injustice of levying the same - amount
of taxation upon terminable as upon permanent annuities,
the House had by a decided majority already pronounced an
opinion. The holders of those annuities stood in the same
position with those persons who, having a limited income, fail
by a portion of their profits for the support of their families.
And if they were to draw any distinction between terminable
and permanent annuities, they must be prepared to make a
mints e investigation into every person's circumstances, to ase
certain the nature of the property of which he was th • owner.
With regard to the objection of including foreigners in the
tax, the Howe .had already pronounced an opinion, and he
should nat. therefore enter into that subject ; lint if the Right
Honourable Gentleman's objection was good as to the interest
which the foreigner had a right to expect from his property
in the funds, he did not see, on the same principle,
why he should be restricted in the free disposal of
his property, especially when he was under the
impression that he could dispose of it as he pleased; but the fo-
reigner was too conscious of the advantages he derived
from having his property in the English Funds to wish
for an exemption from the imposition of the tax, or to trans-
fer the property to some other country. It was said that it.
was not right to diminish the property which the foreigner had
a right to expect ; but that amount which he had a right to ex-
pect was diminished by means of loans..—( Hear, hear. )
tinder schedule D it was objected that the tax w..uld '
have the effect of inducing persons to go abroad ;. but if
the-merehants'and traders of the country were called oil to
pay a tax of three per cent., the toss was m .de less to them be
a corresponding advantage in the reduction made in the tariff.
he Right Hon. Gentleman then objected to the tax on the
ground of immorality. But this tax would operate on the
higher orders of society, to the excld-ion of those who held
property under 1501. a-year, and as property was in some de-
gree the representative of education and intelligence, those
persons would be withdrawn from the operation of the tax who
would be most likely to evade it. If this tax was not imposed
and recourse had to taxes upon con 'tunable commodities, far
greater inducement would be held out for the evasion
of the Excise and Customs laws. He could not see why pro-
fessional triere should not be taxed, and he considered there
was no distinction between their ease aid that of others who
were liable to the tax, except indeed those distinctions which
any ingenious man might draw with regard to any Bill affect-
ing different classes of society. The Right Hon. Gentleman
complained at one time of the' strict examination to which
persons liable to the tax would be subjected, and at another
time he stated that it opened a dam to fraud and evasion ; but
if the examinati n was stringent, it was for the purpose of
preventing fraud. The Right Hon. Gentleman opposite (Mr.
Lahouchere) was anxious to keow the expense of the machinery
for collecting the Income-tax. The House would understand
that there were certain new provisions in this Bill, which gave
parties an option of going before Special Commissioners to be
assessed of the tax, which would create additional expense. It
was difficult, beforehand to make an accurate calculation of the
expense, but he would now state to the House the best estimate
as to the probable amount of those expens ,s he was able to form.
In the year 1815 the expense of collecting the Income-tax
amounted to 300,00 N. a year; but at the present time it would
not amount to more than half that sum. It was intended to give
the collectors of the Assessed taxes the collection of the Income-
tax, and by the additional expense of about 30,0001., the. Go
vernment were in hopes that. they would be able to collect the
whole.—( Hear, hear.) In making this statement it was but
right that he should inform the House that he had called upon
I each department of the Government offices, where there were
superanuated officers, to furnish a list, in order that those
officers, who were able, should be employed in the collection of
! the tax.— ( Hear, hear.) He believed that by acting
upon this
.principle, and by employing throughout the
country existing officers of the Government that could
be rendered available, I e believed that the expense of collect-
' jug the Income-tax would not be half what it was in 1815.
With respect to the proposition of the Hon. Gentleman the
Alember for Oxford, he had only to say that if he excluded
from the operation of the tax all persons having an income of
150/. a year, it would create a reduction in the property to be
taxed to the extent of 33,000,000/. a year. In conclusion, he
might say that he believed this tax was the best that could be
adopted, and that it would effect the relief which was so much
' required by every interest in the country.
MANGLEStide thought that the statements that had been
made relative to the defalcation of the revenue in India had
been considerably exaggerated. He could assure the Right.
Hon. Gentleman that, if he went to the India-house, he would
find that they were not at all disposed to sue to him in firma
pauperis; they might, it was true, put forward a claim, and as
he thought, a just claim, that a part of the expenses of the Go-
vernment of India should be bottle by this country. But they
would not appeal to him on the grounds of the embarrassments to

which they were subjected. The— Government of India could now
raise money at 4 and 5 per cent. ; whereas, in the days of Lord
Wellesley, they paid an interest of 10 or 12 per cert. Their
embarrassments were not therefore so great as the Right. Hon.

Baronet seemed to ,imagine ; and the Bight Hon. Baronet had
therefore failed to make a case for the imposition of his In-
come-tax out of the supposed difficulties with which the ',Olen
Government had to contend.
Sir H. H. INGLIS wished to address a few words to the

House on the subject of the proposal of which he had given
notice, that the tax should only be paid upon any sum above
MO/. He believed that if they were to adopt the plan intro-
duced by the Government, they would ti►,d that many parties
having incomes of near 2001. a-year would find means to reconcile
it tolheir consciences to return their incomes at less than 1501.

He believed that the temptation to such a fraud would be
removed by adopting the plan of calling up, n parties to psy
the tax upon any sum only which their incomes might realize,
above the standard which the Government bad fi ed. If men
of honour would not stoop to deceive, they must yet remember
that. they were dealing with men as they were, and riot with
men as they ought to he. He had given her Majesty's Govern-
tnent the fuhr3t ere& for their intentions; he had, therefore,

thrown out a proposition to apply the sliding scale to the
Income-tax ; but as it had not. been adopted, and as. in the
present state of the House and the public business, there was no
chance of coming to a vote noon it, he should not trouble the
House any further upon Loud cries of " Divide.")
Mr. VILLIERS said at a time when they were about to add to
the mi-eries of the people it became Members on this side of
the House not to let it go forth to the country that the people
were satisfied with this measure. He believed that the re.
sult of their reflections both on the 'l'ariti and the Income-tax
was, hat the former was not compensatory 'or the latter, and
that the latter was essentially unjust. They might get what
they expects d f.urn the Income-tax, but it would have the ef-
' feet of making, their taxes less productive, as it contained no-
thing calculated to improve the resourses of the country.
It ought. not to have been proposed without inquiry into the
cast,es of the deficiency, which he believed were the laws that
interfered with trade and employment, and enhanced the cost
of subsistence. If they founded their revenue, therefore, on
the expenditure of the people—if they diminished their re-
sources for expenditure, they must expect to see their revenue
• diminished also. They did •nothing to extend trade, either
with the United Stage or the Brazils, or did anything to enable
the home consumer to expend more on home manufactures.
. Calculations had been gone into of the amount withdrawn from
the consumption of manufactures, and it had been estimated
by Mr. Gregg at fifty millions within the last four
years. They should have gone into an inquiry
on this subject, and deem all in their power to have improved
the condition of the people. But they had not proved that
anything in their other measures would improve the condition
of the people, and it was certain that the present tax must de-
teriorate that condition. The country was in a deplorable con-
dition ; that condition was constantly growing worse; and could
not be expected to mend of itself. 'the Right Hon. Baronet
had acknowledged himself that it was expedient to provide
wider and ci.eaper markets for their increasing population,
and an admission to the same effect bad been made by
the Vice-President of the sloard of Trade. It was
only this day that a witness had stated in that
House, in giving evidence on the truck system, that the con-
dition of the working classes was worse than ever, inasmuch
I as their masters had given them warning in anticipation of the
operation of the Income-tax. Ile was justified, therefore, in
saying that this tax would do nothing to amend the condition of
the working classes, and he should not be doing his duty to his
constituents if he did not offer it his strenuous opposition.
Mr. IYISRAELI rove amid loud cries of " Divide, divide."
He only rose to state a fact. The Hon. Member for Guildford
had impugned his statement as to the revenue of India. The
statement of the Honourable Member himself as to the
Indian revenue was most monstrous ; he had not included
in his statement of the amount, the expense of collecting, which
was very great, and he had iucluded in it the sums they had
stipulated to allow the native Princes. The Right •Hon. Gen-
tleman had admitted that the English Government had advanced
500,0001. to the Government in India. It was well known that
the latter Government was unable to raise any loan at this
moment, and it could only look to us for a supply. He would
not at present trespass any further on the attention of the House,
but he would be prepared at a future time to substantiate any
statement which he had made on the subject of Indian finance.
Air. BROTH ERTO N said, as it had been stated that the
labouring classes would not be effected by the Income-tax, he
wished to make one or two observations for the purpose of re-
futing that statement. He would only refer to the cotton-tax.
The tax upon the raw matertal wss about 600,0001., and it was
well known that the effect of that tax was to reduce wages to a
very cousiderable extent. Flom the importer of the raw mate-
rial to the exporting merchant, who exported the cotton in its
manufactured state, it was taxed six times over, and this mate-
rially diminished the wages of labour. For this reason, he
must protest against thy Income-tax.
The House then divided, when the numbers were—
For the third reading
Against it
Majority for the third reading
The Bill was then read a third time.
On the question that the Bill do pass.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER proposed
the amendments of which he had given notice.

- 106

Mr. G. W. WOOD said that th object of the amendments
moved by tht: Chancellor of the Excht quer was to exempt
literary and charitable institutions from the operation of the
Act, but the words uf the amendment did not bear out the
object in view. He (Mr. Wood) would therefore propose
to remedy the defect, by moving the liver ion, in the t:sth
of the words " and part of any building."
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER objected to
the proposition.
The House divided. The numbers were—

On the motion that the Bill do I ass,
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said that he had given notice of his
intention to propose a clause to the effect that persons con-
tributing to the Ineome-tax should be entitled to the franchise.
The Bight Hon. !Gentleman said that he would introduce a'
clause of that sort, but he (Mr. Duncombe) did not find it in
the, amended Bill. If there was such a clause he should be

glad to hear it read. He thorght they were passing a Bin the

The additions made to Life Policies granted by this Corpo-
ration for the last seven years vary from 41 to 65 per cent. on
the premiums paid, and average 14 per cent on the sums as-
sured—a result, it is believed, far more favourable to the as-
sured than any other Company has hitherto accomplished, when
the low rates of premiums charged by this Corporation are
taken into consideration.
The next division of life profits will take place in December,
1846, being an interval of five years, and persons entering be •
fore the Ist of August next will enjoy one year's additional
rating, and rank at next division of profits for five complete
years.

KENT.—An unrivalled FREEHOLD INVESTMENT:
The entire ISL.tND of ELMLEY, containing nearly 3,000
ACRES, about a mile and a half from the.Londoia-road, and
onli two miles from Sittingbourne.
37 R. w. W. SIMPSON has received directions
from the Proprietor, to SELL BY AUCTION, at the
Mart, London, on THURSDAY, June 16, at Twelve, in
One Lot.

The ENTIRE ISLAND of ELMLEY, comp-ising 2,300
Acres of old fresh marsh, and Q9O Acres of marsh, enclosed 15
years since, all of superior quality, and peculiarly adapted to the
grazing of bullocks and sheep, together with 350 Acres of salt
Marsh. These valuable marshes have the pre-eminent advan-
tage of an ample supply of fresh water in all seasons, there being
10 pure springs on the island ; such, also, is the soundness of
these lands, that when the rot in sheep prevailed to a frightful
extent throughout the kingdom, Elmley Island never engen-
dered this destructive disease. There is not a public road, nor
is there a public path. on the island, excepting to the church.
h, estate is bounded by the East Swale, and the river walls
ire most substantial and in excellent condition ; they are gene-
rally protected by a deep foreground of salt marsh. During'
the last II years, a period which includes some of the highest
tides known within the memory of man, the repair of these
walls has averaged only 1301. per annum, which is the best test
of cheap security. The buildings on the island consist of cot-
tages for herdsmen, cattle sheds, stabling, &c. ; these, with th
gates and fences, aro kept in repair at the Joint expense of
landlord and tenant ; the average outlay of the landlord does
not exceed 301. per annum. The parochial rates are of insig-
nificant amount. There is but one pauper who at the pre-
sent time reoeives relief in the parish of Elmley. The estate
supplies first-rate coursing ; hares are reared and preserved at
scarcely any cost, and as the island consists exclusively of green
bind they may be multiplied without injury to the occupiers.
This extensive surface of marsh land might, if it were in the
possession of a proprietor of til'aged estates, be most advanta-
geously parcelled out in certain proportions with the farms,
which Are deficient in green land, and the rental of this island,
as well as that of the upland estates, would thus be greatly
augmented. There are several hundred acres of the land com-
prised in this estate which, if it were thought desirable, might
be advantageously broken up and converted into tillage, the soil
being peculiarly favourable for the production of wheat
and other grain, as well as green crops generally. The
tenants, of whom there are six only, are wealthy, and
of the highest respectability. That the rental is very
moderate is attested by the reeent valuation of a compe-
tent local surveyor, whose estimates are confirmed by the opi-
nion of Mr. Simpson. Mr. Simpson is open to private offers
antecedent to the day of sale.
Particulars and plans may now be had of Messrs. Bridges
and Mason, Solicitors, Red Lion square;- of Richard Ba-
thurst, Esq.' Solicitor, and Agent to the Estate, Faversham ;

CEMENT-MOST IMPORTANT AND VALUABLE

_
INVENTION. - -----
TO ATlciirrEcTs, Engineers, Contractors,
Bui!ders. Masons, Plasterers, and the Trade, and also
to Shippers. THE PATENT STUCCO PAINT CEMENT,
surpassing every article hitherto introduced, possesses the fol-
lowing extraordinary and valuable properties. Remarkable
adhesiveness, fixing most tenaciously to the smooth6st surfaces
(even to gl:ss). It is perfectly impervious to wet or damp.
The more it is exposed to the atmosphere, the harder and more
durable it.becomes. It is perfectly froe from any of the caustic
qualities of lime, and it may therefore be painted upon as soon
as dry, as it is impossible that it ean'vegetate or change colour,
nor can it be affected by frost or heat, or crack chip, or
peel off. To Merchants and Shippers, it must form a m,,4
important item of commerce, as it will keep for any length of
time, as fresh as delivered from the manufactory; with regard
to price, it is cheaper than any other._ Cement, and its lasting
qualities, render it a fortune to builders and others investing
capital in building speculations. _
The Patentees have appointed Messrs. Mann and Co., 5,
Maiden-lane, Queen-street, Cheapside, their
sale agents, at
whose warehouses any quantity may be had, specimens may be
seen, and every information afforded.

The Cu x said that every one of these gentlemen were
most assiduous in their attention to the interests of the Company,
and had been unremitting in their attention during a most
troublesome time.

Mr. WILLIAMS said he thought it was essential that they
should have as many resident Directors as possible, and he
should therefore propose Mr. Camplin as one.
The following gentlemen were then proposed, and a ballot
taken, namely :—Messrs. Brough, Coo, Halket, Pocock,
Camplin, and Gill.ert.
Scrutineers were then appointed to examine the votes.
During the absence of the Scrutineers,
The CHAIRMAN said he expected the returns to the Pro-
prietors of this Company would be very large, but they required
time. It was well known that they had enemies in the camp,
but those enemies would drop off year after year. He had no
doubt of soon seeing Herne Bay a much res3rted to watering
place, and he hoped to see the time arrive when the public
would be able to visit it at any hour of the day. He had no
doubt that the citizens of London would avail themselves of that
communication, for it was well known that Herne Bay was
the nearest watering place to London, and persons would soon
find that it was one of the cheapest places to which they could
take their families. lie hoped soon to see Herne Bay the
same as Gravesend was to London, only much more respect-
able and to accomplish this, they only wanted more boats;
to go at different times of the day, so that passengers might be
brought up in the morning and taken down again in the after-
noon ; and that persons having avocations in town, might be
able to come up in the morning and return again at night. He
saw no reason why the transit to Herne Bay. should not be as
quick as to Brighton. It was well 'known that their journey
from Blackwall was performed in three hours and a half. Some
persons said that the railway would be brought into
competition with Herne Bay, but he contended that
the railway would be a benefit, because it would take parties to
Dover by a circuitous route, while if they went by way of
Herne Bay, they would arrive there in five or six hours from
Blackwall; and instead of the fare being hi., as by the railway
it would, the journey would be perf-rmed for Bs. This would
be a consideration to persons who had families of five, six, or
eight individuals. They would consider this as compared
the charge.by the railway, where they would pay I/., and only
save one hour in the journey : therefore he said that, instead of
the railway being an injury to the Herne Bay Company, it
would in itself encourage the traffic to Herne Bay, because the
public would always choose the cheapest route. He hoped,
therefore, that they would all co-operate to benefit each other,
and they would soon find a considerable addition to their re-
turns.—( Cheers. )
The Scrutineers having returned,
The CHAIRMAN declared the result to be as follows:—Mr.
Coe, 382 votes ; Mr. Halket, 360 ; Mr. Pocock, 297 ; Mr.
Gilbert, 6291 ; Mr. Brough, 247 ; Mr. Camplin, 201. He
therefore declared the first four elected.

Mr. JONES proposed a vote of thanks te the Chairman,
which was carried unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN having briefly returned thanks,
A PROPRIETOR proposed that the sum of 1501. be voted to
►he Directors for their exertions during the past year. Several
Directors expressed their decided opposition to this course, and
the motion, not having been seconded, fell to the ground.
A vote of thanks was then carried to the Directors, and re-
sponded to; a vote of. thanks was also given to the Clerk and
the two Auditors. The meeting then adjourned to the last
Tuesday in May, 1843.

LONDON
WEDNiiISDAY MORNING, JUNE h 1842.

Both Houses of Parliament concurred last night una-
nimously in offering an Address ofeongratulation to her
MAIESTY. In proposing it, we- are bound to say, as
we profess the most unreserved hostility to Sir ROBERT
PEEL'S policy, that he nAdo a most feeling and just
appeal to th 1.40450 of Qom-ions, He was e'qually
happy hi speaking of 110 111,cmspy's distinguished
virlues, -and -in'expreSaing; the indignation and abhor-
rence of the whole empire of the crime that aimed
at hots 114). We remarked, however, with regret, that
when Lord JOHN RUSSELL alluded to the crime being
not the result of a conspiracy, and to the criminal
having no associate, there was not that denial from the
Treasury benches which a cheer can convey, and we

Lon that the. Ministers be-
rot stand alone.

Her MAJESTY'S conduct, as described by Lord PORT-
MAN, Sir ROBERT PEEL, and Mr. LABCF.LLES, was truly
admirable. Though she understood that she might be
exposed to danger, she would not consent to make her-
self a prisoner in her palace, but she resolutely refused
to allow any of her ladies to take their places by her
side. For devoted soldiers, who know that their chief
is the peculiar object of attack, to dress thamse&L€ Eke
him, and so divert the danger, is a praiseworthy strata-
gem ; but her MAJESTY'S conduct is a nobler example of
a chief refusing such a diversion, and alone confronting
a certain peril. In any young woman such conduct
would be called heroic, and why should we not apply
that epithet to the QUEEN ?
In other parts of our Paper will be found the full pat•-
ticulars of the proceedings in Parliament, of the commit-
tal of FRANCIS to Newgate, and of all the circumstances
which have yet transpired connected with this abominable
attempt.

In reply to a question last night, put by Mr.
LABOUCHERE, relative to the increase of duties on Ham
yarn in France, Sir ROBERT PEEL stated, that our
Ministry had not lost a single day, after being informed
of the intention of the French Government, in camrau-
ideating with it on the subject, and in expressing much
regret at such a course of proceeding. Such vig-ilanca
deserves our approbation. Sir ROBERT alluded to the
commercial treaty which has been interrupted with
France, and hinted that its wine-growers might have
reason to regret the interruption. There were other
wine-growing countries, he said, with which we were in
negotiation ; and he left it to be interred, with something
like a threat to France, that our negotiations with them .
might give to their wines some preference over those of
France in our markets. Lord J. RUSSELL alluded to
such a course as one calculated to• excite regret, and
implied that we were not warranted in departing from
the true principles of commerce, because France, or any
other country, chose to act erroneously. We cordially
echo that s:-ntiment.

We have admired none of Sir RonEaT PEEL'S free
trade sentences more than that in which he expressed
an opinion like the late Mr. DEACON Iluxu, that Eng-
land ought to buy at the cheapest market, let the com-
mercial law of other countries be what it might. • If Sir
Routurr PEEL, in order to spite the French f•ir not buy-
ing our linen yarn (though we are by no means sn-re
that the smuggler will not correct the vicious policy of
the Government), shall impede the, Englirsh in getting
wine cheap, he will inflict another injury on oar trade
besides that which the legislation of the French' Govern-
ment is calculated to inflict. In Sir ROBERT Putit, this
would be a much greater offence than Louts Pinta-n.. 123
conduct, because Sir Ronsurr is under an obligititioa to
promote the benefit of our people. LOUIS PIIy.IPPE is
going to injure our linen-yarn spinners, and Sir RORURT
PEEL, to retaliate, will injure our wine merchants. Be-
cause the French will not take our linen yarn, that•
is no reason why we should not have good and
cheap wine. The mischievous effects of his law would
be much more certain quoad our people than the law
of France. Without his interference we believe that.
the increased difficulty of sending our linen yarn to
France must prevent the French from selling us so
much wine, or they must give us an equal quantity for
a less price. The impclicy of the French will punish
themselves, without Sir ROBERT PEEL taking on
himself the odium of inflicting an additional injury on
our people. We trust, therefore, that his implied
threat will die in the utterance, and that he will not
multiply the ruinous restraints on confiner©e which
Governments have imposed, as if they were the scourges
which inflict, instead of the balm which heals, the,
wounds of society.

Unfortunately for Sir ROBERT P 1 L, however
bad may be the policy of France, that country
may plead his special example. Franco is only
doing that—(affording what its Government supposes to
be an adequate protection to the comparatively unimpor-
tant manufacture of one part of the French people's
clothing)—which Sir ROBERT has done for the tenfdd
more important manufacture of our people's food, One
Government deprives its subjects of a cheap dress, the
other, much more criminal, deprives them of cheap
nail
abundant subsistence. Sir ROBERT PEEL, too, is abont
to impose a duty of 45., or if he have relented from his
malevolent plan as is said, a duty of 2s. on, owls ex
ported, for the avowed purpose of depriving the foreign,
manufacturer of the advantage of Olean coals. The
French Government, therefore, only iTaitates hi% own
policy, which, considering the age and country in hick
it originates, deserves no other epithet than that oC
barbarous. If England should gradually find herself
excluded from trade with' all the world, it will be the
consequence of the vast success which has accompanied
her restrictive system without being caused by it, and will,
be the realization of the wishes of that unpatriotic purl
which placed ,Fir ROBERT PEEL in office.

Another dispute has arisen in that abode of theologi-
cal strife, the University of Oxford, whick. we notice
merely to express our contempt of the whole affair.
When Dr. HAMPDEN was appointeo. Regius Professor of
Divinity at Oxford five or si:e years ago, the heads, of
houses, at the instigation of the Pusey party, and berng
animated by kfierce Tory spirit, passed a statute to de-
prive the Whig Dr. HAMPDEN of some of the privi-
leges of ' his offtoe. They dispensed with the students
attending his lectures. At length the fierce spirit of
bigotry and party strife has relented, and those of the
Learned Doctors, who have recovered their senses, have
proposed to do justice to Dr. lIAmeDEN, by repealing
this statute. There is, however, a large body, chielly
Puseyites, it is said, who are not ashamed of their into-
tolerance and their malice, who oppose this step
with all their might. Between those who now wish to
do right, and those who persevere in doing wrong, both,
having been heretofore united in enmity to Dr. lamp:
DEN, all Oxford is in a blaze. The fierce contention
however, is of no interest whatever beyond the circle
of the wordly monks and their pupils. It will neither
cheapen bread nor add to improvement. We should,.
therefore, have passed by the subject in total silence kad
not several of our Contemporaries, by elaborate remarks.
sought to invest it with public importance. The verbal
and yet wrathful contentions of University Doctors, are
more contemptible than the disputes of rival fullers, o£.'
which the proper public notice taken was—

'Tis pity there should be

of an honest country yeoman.
Mary Leman, the wife of the prisoner, stated that she lived
• at 27, Castle-street,..Long Acre, where she kept a chandler's-
shop. About half-past twelve o'clock on the night of the fhb
of May, she went to •bed with her husband as usual ; he had not
been in bed above a quarter of an hour when ho rose and went
into the shop ; iu about five minutes he again returned to bed,
and began beating her outside the clothes with a knife.. Wit-
ness then got out of bed to escape from him, and he followed
her into the On p ; she was opening the door to vet into the
street, when he stabbed her in the right breast 'with a lar
