FROM THE EVENING PAPERS Os' SATURDAY. •
GLOBE, As imlac convinced Bassolas that it
was impossible for any man to be a poet, so
Mr. Goulburn and Sir Robert Peel appear to have
convinced Parliament that it is impossible for
any man to mend their measure into a just,.
Income•tax. Were this preyed, it liould seem to
follow- that an Income-tax they ought not to
have,proposed. If such evident inequalities as those
pointed out by Air. Roebuck are to be viewed as
no worse than others inseparably inherent in the
nature of an Income-tax, it'surely must follow that an
Income-tax is a measure only for the most perilous
times. At such times, any nation which has spirit to
sale it from destruction will acquiesce in almost any
sacrifice, without weighing its equity. Those of the
most precarious, or the narrowest means, feel pride
that their contributions are important and necessary.
" The beggar is as ready -to fight for his dish as the
lord is •to fight for his land." The enthusiasm
of the moment does not stop to compare sources of in-,
come. It is felt that all is at hazard ; and there is a
generous shame in weighing contributions. But to
come down on the country when there is no such enthu-
siasm awakened, and exact compulsory aids, whose
amounts are scanned with a sober eye—is to attempt a
• Very different trial of national temper. It is all the
difference between Bailie Jarvie ready to fight with a
hot poker, and Bailie Jarvie with his pen behind his
car in the Salt-niarket. We agree perfectly with
Lord Ilowick in decided preference of the principle
of taxation oh expenditure to taxation on income—
always excepting extraordinary crises of national
safety. W hether an equitable property tax is prac-
ticable is another question; it is also another ques-
tion whether taxation on succession to property
would not be the most appropriate fund for reducing
the National Debt. These ate the speculative regions
of finance ; but, so far as experience has yet gone, it
certainly seems tliat,demands which are not very ex-
traordinary are supplied with least hardship by taxa-
tion •on expenditure, in one shape or other. This
leaves the voluntary element some play in incurring
taxation. We are not prepared to say that we- would
not add a tax upon absenteeism, in order to reach those
who draw their revenues from this country, and with-
' draw them from its burdens. But we certainly
would not tax income, except as an extraordinary
measure ; and, if an income-tax is essential to a pro-
petty tax, we would reject the .
latter, notwithstanding
te arguments which mustbe felt to exist its favour.
STANDARD.—Lord Normanby manifested again
his judgment and good taste by last night directing
attention once more to the appointment of horouo.
Magistrates. One would compassionate the Noble
Marquis under the reply that he provoked from Lord
Lyndhurst, were it not that.
No creature feels so little as a
Lord Normanby—some one must complete the
lacuna, in Pope's, verse, by a monosyllable, which
shall describe the ex-Lord Lieutenant and general
gaol-deliverer of Ireland. Lord Lytlhurst's speech
is, however, worth reading for its own sake, as we
read the Satires and the Dunciad, without knowing
or caring about the Tigellii, the Gorgonii, the No-•
mentani, the Oldmixons, or the Gildons. The master
artist makes something valuable out of materials the
most contemptible; and even Lord Normanby is worth
something when the Chancellor favours him with ,a
few strokes. The Income-tax Occupied the House of
Commons in Committee last night. Various aud
contradictory amendments were proposed and sup-
ported by arguments exhibiting as much
variety and contradiction as the projects thetnselves..
The several clauses considered .were passed as pro-
Fsed by Ministers, either .141,1atout any division, or
over w AwAtiertities ; and as these are the
clauses thatAlaaNe -been most angrily discussed out of
. ;-iftere Is little reason to doubt that the whole
Bill will pass without material alteration. The subject
has been exhausted, and we should only weary our
readers by reference to the details a last night's debate.
At the end of the Income-tax discussion Mr. The-
siger called attention to Mr Mahson's case, declaring
his conviction that the warrant for an alleged disobe-
dience to which Mr. Mabvn is deprived of his liberty
is an illegal warrant, or a warrant the legal force of
which expired with the second session of 1841. The
Attorney-General profeSsed himself of - the Same
• opinion, and we have already seen the opinion-lipun
