ment of this tax? Why not use this anticipated reserve fund
to remove the most formidable objections to the income tax, to
lighten its proposed weight on the possessors of incomes under
3001. a year, or to introduce a graduated scale of collection into
incomes derived from labour as contradistinguished from in-
comes arising from capital?"
In an article on the.Affghan affairs, the Herald observes:—
" Whatever be the course which the British'Government may
finally decide on adopting in reference to the affairs of Affghan-
istan and the murders of Burnes and WiNaghten, &c., it is
bound to issue, in some form or other a frank and explicit mani-
festo-1. Of the causes of any new hostile movements aga net
Cabool ; 2. Of the extent to which those movements will be
pushed, in the event—on the one hand—of our obtaining satis-
faction for the insult which the British authority has sustained
in Affghanistan ; on the other, of this being refused or with-
held. This information we hold that the Government are
bound to lay before the Legislature. The British people and'
the British name cannot afford, any longer, to have their rever-
ence for, and their identity with, public faith and respect for
national rights compromised by any Minister or any Govern-
ment which may have the honour, at any time, to serve her
Majesty. We are confident in the anxiety which the present
Administration must feel to efface the memory of so much
guilt and so little principle as'have been evinced in the Asiatic
policy of their immediate predemssors."
The Times thus refers to the threatened Income tax :
" The attention of the public has naturally been called in the
first instance to that portion of the financial measures of the
Government which imposes a certain and immediate burden
on the / ockets of the middle and higher classes of the com-
munity. Without adverting in this article to the details of the
income tax, or its probable mode of operation on the revenues
of property and the revenues of industry, we may once more
express our full conviction that some such' measure is necessary
to relieve the country from the known consequences of the
late deplorable mismanagement of our financial affairs ; that it is
equally necessary to enable the Government to meet the calls
which cannot fail to arise out of the present posture of affairs
in the East and elsewhere; but that it derives a strong addi
tional palliation from being made the means of facilitating the
most important experiment in the reduction of the indirect
fiscal burdens of the country which has been made for half a
century. We have not spught to conceal the evils and incon-
veniences which accompany an income tax. Ad taxes are
evil and inconvenient, and the income tax in some respects
more peculiarly so."
The following is from the Morning Post :—" It is obvious
that, without the walls of Parliament, the tide of opposition to
the new scheme of taxation swells apace. To a certain extent
this must have been anticipated by her Majesty's Goverment.
They have too much experience not to know, that, ho sever
popular the general principles and character of a Government
may be, the moment that necessity compels the proposal of
taxes, especially of naw taxes, that popularity must be much
endangered. It is,however, the business of an honest Govern-
ment to brave the unpopularity when the necessity arrives."

At the meeting of the proprietors of the lonian Bank on
Monday, it was stated to have been projected by Sir Howard
Douglas, Bart, and carried out by a Company in 1839. The
Zante branch was established in 1840, and in the same year
another was planted at Cephalonia. The balance of profit at
this moment. is 4,745/. 3s. 2d., and a dividend of 6 per cent.

The contested elections fur the borough of Weymouth and
Melcombe Regis, Great Marlow, and Clitheroe, are now in
Committee. The first, in which the petitioners are Ralph
Bernal asid William Christie, against the return of Viscount
Villiers and George Hope, in addition to the general charges of
bribery, &e., is founded upon the non-opening of one polling-
booth an hour after the time ; the second, against the return
of Sir William Clayton, alleged to have gained the election by
a colourable vote of one in the majority. The Clitheroe peti-
tion against Mr. Wilson turns on a simple point of bribery.

Henry Timms was tried at the York Assizes, on Tuesday,

a knife, and found guilty of manslaugldter. He was sentenced
to be transported for life.
James Mosby, Charles Cooper, and Janes Marne were in-
dicted at the same assizes, for the manslaughter of William
Brewers. It arose out of a tight conducted by the rules of fair

November.

,the
estates of his father, becomes the lath Duke of Norfolk, and
is in his slst year. He has five children by Lady Charlotte
Sophia, the eldest daughter of the Ist Duke of Sutherland,
now Duchess of Norfolk. In 1829 he represented Horsham
in Parliament, and in 1532 the western division of Susiex. In
1837 he was added to the PriVy Council, and made Treasurer
to the Household. His Grace now also becomes Earl Marshal,
an office of hereditary character enjo3ed by the Norfolk family
for centuries.

A Brighton Paper records the following curious Magisterial
mistake :—" On Tuesday, a man was 'brought before the
Brighton bench charged with begging, -when Mr. Basevi, the
sitting Magistrate, said that, as he was an old offender, he
should tend hint to the House of Commons for one month !
If the vagrant in question had been really sent td the House of
Commons, instead of the House of Correction, he would have
found many old offenders there on the Treasury bench, and would
have had ad his begging propensities confirmed; for there is no
mendicant so importunate as your Tory ore."
" In the Vice •Cl.ancellor's Court, on Tuesday," observes a
Morning Contemporary, " the proper treatment of a horse,
legatee under the will of its late master, was made the subject of
investigation. After Counsel had been heard, thc Vice-Chan-
cellor decided on snaking the animal a ward in Chancery, oh-
serving that occasional supplies of corn, as well as of grass,
should be granted to the quadruped legatee. "—As so many
asses are constantly being made wards in Chancery, there can
be no rational objection to making a horse a ward.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
THURSDAY EVENING.
The prices of the English Stocks leave off to-day much
about the same as last night. The amount of business has
been but small, yet there appears an evident disposition to make
investments in our securities in preference to foreign. The
last prices for Consols were, money, 89k, and 89„ 89/, for the
account. Exchequer Bills, 29 to 31 premium.
The late sudden rise is the quotations for foreign bonds, has
not only been checked, but the market to-day has exhibited a
tendency to decline. As it was stated on Tuesday, an artificial
scarcity of stock had been created to make prices better
at the settling, now that the object was attained, a decline
is suffered to take place ; as no other reason could be assigned
for the advance, so none but this will account for the fall. The
prices of 13elgan were, 103 to 104 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents., 52i, 52i ; the Five per Cent. 103 to 103 i. The
quotations for Brazalian were, 69 to 71; Portuguese Five per
41* to 41i;
Cents. 341 to 344, the 'Theca per Cents., 20* to,2Q; Co-
lombian. Spanish, 24/
to 25. to 261/2; Mexican,
The prices of Railway Shares continued to be well supported,
and although the difficulty attending transfers tend much to
repress speculation, so that purchases appear to be few in num-
ber, those, however, which are made are generally for real
investment. Birmingham left off at 85 to 87; Great Western,
26 to 07; the Half Shares; 132; to 14 prem. ; Birmingham and
I Gloucester, 56 to 58; South Western, 59 to 60; Gosport, 59
to 60 ; Brighton, 36* to 361 per share ; South Eastern and
Dover, 22 to 21i ; Eastern Counties, 22 to 211/4 discount.
Among other classes who are finding fault with the proposed
new fiscal regulations, the , foremost appear to be the graziers
and meat salesmen. These parties are fully impressed with the
idea that their trade is about to be ruined ; and it is anticipated
that when the alteration comes fully into operation, the highest
price of the best meat in the London markets will not exceed
4d. per pound, It would seem that there is really some founds-
tion for the general opinion, front the fact of several of the
large commission dealers, snaking arrangements for opening a
continental commission with the graziers abroad; and there is
every reason to believe that a party has been already dispatched
to visit the principal ports in Belgium and Holland with this
object.
