of the Board had voted, on the ground of its being con-
trary to precedent.
Mr. ROEBUCK suid that suspicion would rest up .11
those who shut out the light; and that if the House
did not know all and everything, they would pay no
attention whatever to the reports of that Board.
Mr. WALLACE gave notice of a motion on the subjeck.
Several other Members addressed the House, and, after
a vindication of the Government by Sir IL PEEL, the
subject dropped.
The House then resolved itself into a Committee of
Ways and Means, and the debate on the resolution for
continuing the income-tax was resumed.
Lord Jottsr RUSSELL expressed his regret at the
determination of the Government to retain the income-
tax, which he imagined would, ere long, become per
maneat. He rejoiced to hear that the navy was to be
increased. He approved of the removal of the duties
from cotton and glass, but could not understand why
the auction duty was given up. He thought it would
have been better to take the duty off fire-insurances.
The Noble Lord complained that no details had been
furnished of the articles in which the increase had taken
place in the customs' duties. The Noble Lord, in allusion to
the proposed alteration in the sugar duties, took occasion
to go into the general question of protection, and admitted
that protective duties should be withdrawn gradually
and cautiously, rather than suddenly and abruptly. He
felt the impossib►lity, under existing circumstances, of
withholding his assent from the proposition which the
Chairman bad in his hand ; but he should vote for it,
with the hope that the income-tax would not be con-
verted into a permanent burden.
Mr. ROEBUCK objected to the proposed plan of taxa-
tion as onerous, obnoxious, and mischievous, and con-
cluded by moving as an amendment to leave out of the
resolution the words " professions, trades, and offices,"
not for the purpose of exempting them altogether, but
of subjecting them to a regular system of taxation, such
as he bad described.
A long and interesting discussion followed, which was
wound up-by
Sir H. PEEL, who repeated his conviction that the
country_would be relieved in three years from the
burden of the income-tax, and said that even if the ex-
periment should not meet his expectations, the benefit
to the community would more than overpay the loss to

the revenue.
After which the Committee divided, when there ap-
peared :—For the amendment, 55 ; axainst it, 263 ;
majority, 208.
The House shortly afterwards adjourned, at Twenty
minutes past One.

We retain, in its fullest extent, the conviction we
have expressed on the general results of Sir R. PEEL'S
financial statement of Friday last. The scheme of
fiscal reform which that statement announced has
many features of an impressive character, and,
withal, very unusual in the aspect of such Ministerial
expositions. The proposal to deal with so large a
number of little-productive duties as 430, now ap-
pearing on a tariff comprising but 820 articles ;—the
declaration of his own and his Government's adhesion
to the general principle of getting rid of all duties
whatever upon exportations, as far as may be prac-
ticable ;—his determination to release the important
article of glass from the heavy imposts which have so
long paralyzed the progressive improvement of its
manufacture, and crippled the extent to which a most
profitable trade in it might be carried on both at home
and abroad, by accumulated imposts which have
pursued it from the raw material to the last stages of
its perfected manufacture ;—his intention of abolishing
the duty on raw cotton, the staple of so vast a pro-
portion of the products of our manufacturing in-
dustry; and his pledge to put down sinecures, to cut
off all unnecessary branches of public expenditure,
and to economise the collection of the revenue ;
these are, all of them, manifestations of a sound,
vigorous, and salutary policy, to which we should hope
the spirit of party itself, in this country, will not be
disinclined to extend its ready and cheerful encou-
ragement. The mischief of encumbering a scheme
of Customs' duties, or of Excise imposts, with vo-
luminous details, none of which is found to yield to
the publie income a large and permanent return, is
of far more extensive operation than the casual
observer may suppose. All fiscal intervention on the
part of a Government with the trade of its subjects is
malum per se; and derives only a limited and inci-
dental justification from the necessity which exists
for making that trade contribute, at the
most convenient stages of its transactions,
its fair proportion towards the revenue re-
,luired to defray the expenses of the State.
This necessity, we don't dispute, is a permanent one.
It must be met and satisfied. But it is highly expe-

intensity of its principle and the area of its operation,
by being multiplied on these 430 commodities ; and it
is well that so prolific a source of needless vexation
and embarrassment to trade is to be cut off. The
whole stream of authorities, from Sir J. CHILDH, Sir
W. PETTY, and the older economists, down to the
more modern school of ADAM SMITH, OSWALD of
Dunnikier, and MacunLocu, will set in in favour
of the signal practical advance towards free trade
which the Premier has made, by the avowal of his
bold, intelligible opinions on the question of export
duties and their removal. There are few of our ma-
nufactured products, in the extension of which our in-
dustrial labour is more deeply interested than that of
glass • and the Premier has certainly, in this regard,
selected a boon, about the value of which there can be
little doubt or cavil. The great encouragement that
a trade must derive, the staple of which, in its per-
fected manufacture, carries the burden of a duty
nearly 300 per cent. on the value of the raw material
from which it has been elaborated, needs no comment.
But there is a national incidental value attaching to
the signal remission of duty to be granted in this
instance. Till within a comparatively recent period
the multiplied islands, islots, and creeks which are
seelirtet'n.edabout the western shores of

enormous abundance, on those as well as
other portions of the British coasts. The burning
of this help, 4e , produces to the native population
we speak oe, abundant ashes and salt, that enter-
ing largely into the consumption of our glass works,
proved one of the most beneficial, as well as most
pertain, among the atinted resources to which they
were accustomed to look for their subsistence. It is
painful to think how cruelly the operation of that
system of injudicious duties, the decease of which we
shall soon have the happiness to witness, has inter-
fered with, and almost exterminated this humble but
important trade t,f a bumble but invaluable peasantry.
Excise or Customs' duties that touch the raw ma-
ative manufactures must be, of course, de-
structive in proportion to the lowness of their first-
hand price, and to the distance of their transport to
the market of their consumption. Thanks to steam-
boat navigation and free-trade advances, we venture
to indulge a sanguine hope for the early re-establish-
ment of this portion of the kelp trade. Geographical
distance has already ceased to be an impediment to
its revival, and obsolete errors in fiscal legislation are
mfasotredyipnhgiloosfrOphwicealinay and boPee under the influence of
enlightened principles.
The same observations, of course, apply to raw
cotton, except that hitherto it could scarcely claim
to be called a national staple! We have no doubt in
the world, that it will soon be largely remitted from
African dominions, and
tohuurs Asiatic,become Australian,ene

and

bring about this consummation, Sir R. PEEL has

gency. And so far—so well.
income—for three
But the renewal of the
years, and without modification of any kind—this
we do regard as a moat capital, a most unfortunate
deficiency, a positive vice or offence, in his
Budget. Does Sir RODEKT PEEL doubt the fact
of the grievous injury which that most
inequitable, most unrighteous principle of a common
ratio of contsibution from all classes of payers, inflicts
on all small-salaried clerks, officers, and others who
work hard and incessantly to obtain their respective
salaries, or annual emoluments, varying from 140/.
to 3001. a year P DQee, he imagine that the people—

ill-it great, intelbgent, well-informed, reflecting, aye,
and powerful body of them, who range between these
two extremes, will much longer, in the thirtieth year
of peace, patiently submit to see the same proportion
of their hard earnings exacted from "them, as
he has been pie ised to withdraw from the
superfluity of his own patrimonial and official fortune ?
Does he believe that the retired servants of their
country—scantily pensioned, perhaps, in reference to
the blood and the services they have contributed, but
grateful and content withal for the compensation—
do not murmur at seeing the 7d. in the pound de-
ducted from their modest allowance, and no more
than 7d. in the pound doled out by the cautious sel-
fishness of legislators who are the recipients of
100,0001. per annum ? Has the Premier discovered
in the course of that Macwnas-ship—the courtesies
of which he is so ready in dispensing—that
the men of letters, the political writers who
advocate his Government, to say nothing, for
the present, of those who oppose it—that men whose
income, with a few rare and favoured exceptions, is
already inadequate enough to the demands of their
reputation, or their position and connexions in so-
ciety—submit without the deepest feelings of morti-
fication and resentment, to be mulcted after the
same rate as any of the Right Honourable Baro-
net's own millionaire allies in Manchester, or
in the City ? Or is he indifferent to simi-
lar emotions of natural disgust and just indig-
nation, actuating that enormous mass of the clergy,
and the legal and medical professions—civil, military,
and naval servants in active service or on half-pay,
tradesmen, annuitants, &c. ; whose annual incomes
are large enough to bring them within the scope of the
lower extremity of the scale—we take his minimum
of 1501.; but are too small to carry them beyond, say
300/. a year ?
Our own feeling is that 500/. would not be too
high-pitched a minimum. But certainly from 3001.
to 5001., an income-tax of 21. per cent. ought to be
the mahimum; from 5001. to 750/. ought not to pay
more than 3/. per cent.; from 7501. to 1,0001. than
4/. per cent.; from 1,0001. to 5,0001. might bear 51.
10s. per cent.; and all incomes above 5,0001. 71. per
cent. As a constitutional principle, however, our
own anxiety is still greater as to the term
of renewal than the rate per cent. We shall feel that
the House of Commons will utterly forego its most
essential functions of a vigilant fiscal control, and one
of its highest duties to the people, if, in accordance
with the ominous appearances of consent, or of apa-
thetic indifference, that attach to its vote of last night,
it entertain on any future stage the monstrous propo-
sition of continuing the income-tax at all, for a period
of three years prospectively. And the people—what
are they about? Where are the petitions from the
country, from every district of the metropolis ? Let tie
Minister, we repeat, if it must be take his tax for one
year; and, meanwhile, let them see what he can
accomplish if he will be honest enough to redeem his
undertaking to put down sinecures, and economise
the public expenditure, especially as to the collection
of the revenue. We hope this chapter of good inten-
tions includes a rigorous supervision of the Customs'
collection, as to product, as well as the cost of its ma-
chinery. We are not quite so credulous as to expect
much will be done in the way of reductions of pen-
sions, sinecures, or official patronage, after Parlia-
ment shall have been wheedled into giving so out-
rageous and so blind a vote as the continuation of the
income-tax for three years to come !

Intelligence has been received from Lisbon to the
11th inst. A rather stormy discussion had taken
place in the Chamber of Deputies, on a motion rela-
tive to savings' banks, brought forward by the Go-
vernment, the object of which was to confer exclusive
privileges on a new Company, with little regard to
the interests of depositors. The finances of the
country are in a deplorable state, and, owing to a large
deficit, a fresh loan of 1,500 contos will Ise required.
Their Finance Minister should take a leaf out of Sir
ROBERT PEEL'S book and try an income-tax.
Senor CARVILHO was much better, and hopes were
entertained of his recovery.

A little excitement has been caused in Paris by
new symptoms of movement on the part of the clergy
against the Government With reference to the Edu-
cation Bill. M. DuriN, M. TIIIEUS, and, indeed,
most of the leading men in France, hare taken a de-
cided part against the claims of the Bishops to control
the whole system of education, and bring the youth
of the country again under the dominion of the
Church. The Court also has evinced feelings op-
posed to such claims, and, consequently, the clergy
are disposed to throw every obstacle in its -„ay.
DUPIN, some years since, published a work on the
Liberty of the Gallic Church, which was allowed to
possess consi&rable merit. Against this work the
Cardinal Archbishop of LYONS has just issued a con-
demnation, which, however, according to the Consti-
tutionnel, had been drawn up and signed on the 21st
of November, 1844, but kept back for some special
purpose, M. DUPIN at present holds an important
legal appointment, that of Procureur- General of the
Court of Cassation, and this strange edict of the
Archbishop is, therefore, regarded as an attack upon
the Constitution, with which M. DUPIN'S work is in
accordance. A Cabinet Council was held on Satur-
day, at which the subject was taken into consideration,
and the result was that Archbishop BONALD has been
summoned to appear before it to answer for his con-
duct. " The public," says M. TRIERS' journal " look
to the conduct of Government in this affair with
interest—a Government which has created embarrass-
ments everywhere, which can neither see before it,
nor direct, nor resolve. It overwhelms itself in an
affair with the clergy, as it has done with Otaheite
and the right of search." We find no articles or news
in these papers of the least interest. Even the in-
terest in the division cn the Secret Service Money
Bill seems to have evaporated, and no business what-
ever was done in the Funds, at TORTONI'S, on Sunday.

SUPPOSED MURDER AT RENDLESHAM —HORRIBLE
AFFAlR.—inforMatkill has just reached us, from what we have
every reason to believe to be authentic sources, that a fright-
thi murder was committed late on Saturday night last, on
the estate of Lord ltendiesitam, in Suffolk. Report states
that his gamekeeper, who lives close to the Hall, re-
turned to his home late on the above-named night, in a state of
intoxication, and after a few minutes' time desired to leave again.
His wife remonstrated against this, and shut the door to prevent his
getting oitt ; a quarrel then ensued, and the maddened gamekeeper
at length snatched his gun, levelled it at his wife, and, report says,
blew her head to atoms ! He was on Sunday committed to the Bride-
well, at Woodbridge. He declares thak he did not intentionally
murder her, but, in the struggle, the gun went off by accident. He
has a family of four children. Such are all the particulars we feel
justified in giving to the public,—we fear they are too correct.

In this case the declaration was on money lent,and an ac-
count stated. The defendant denied that he had had the
money in the manner and form alleged, upon which issue
was joined.
Mr. Watson and Mr. Simons appeared for the plaintiff ;
Mr. Sergeant Jones for the defendant.
The plaintiff in this action was a young man, carrying on
business as a tobacconist, at Greenwich ; the defendant was
also a young man, who dealt in horses, at Ripley, near Guild-
ford. It was alleged that the plaintiff agreed to advance
1001. to the defendant while they were travelling together in
a railway train. The result was, that some stock, belonging
to the plaintiff, was sold out, and a cheque for the amount
given to the defendant by the broker. Two fruitless applica-
tions having been made for the money, the present action
was brought.
The case was proceeding when we went to press.
