has at once broken loose all the upper strata of sotictV,
that were before compact and united, to a considetztbl
degree, in order to keep the masses below them qua
His income tax and his tariff, the eie-tlie se. ggestiotirt
despair, the other the *consequence of Prim iples Whi(4ll
he has denied, but wiiich were more poiverfull
than the strong Government of Sir Roni PERt,
are the e.pening of two great leaks into the aristocracV
which are a trendy letting in the oo.ting waters of the,
vast surrcund:ng, levelling, and absorbing demaecacy.
Such is alreai:ly the work of Sir R. PEEL. The coin.
motion in society the consequence of his inneerity
and his 'ambition. 'TO gratify the latter he derided and
resisted, year aftei y.gar, those principles to which in
his tariff he is
,con`pellpd to do homage. -
insincerity, his pretended .continual anxiety to protect:
agriculture, is one of the mi'iu causes why that spirit 'or.
monopoly has been nursed :Imo! gst the agrieulturisti:
into a strength which is now daik'•erotts for him. It was:
1 ambition nmie him put an end to the meals of improv-.
ing the revenue which the Whigs- proposed, in. •
order to put " himself and his frieno,l in their places,
-and the nine months' delay has made the neceisi-
ties of the Government overwhelming. Mit (1191!gh he 11
been goaded on, by his own fault, into the coma ,tssion of ik
great folly, the nation most not' be injured. It is re-.
sAved, we believe, to have no income tax, because it is.
sensibly that such a tax is too high a price to .pay for •
the best Government that ever exiled in the. world, and
an exorbitant price to pay for a Government of arbitrary
Tories and selfish Monopolists. •

. .
The income tax and the. tariff are obviously parts of
the same scheme, by the whole of which Sir B. PSEL•
sap he stand or fall. Those who, like the fanners;
at Grimsby, bate the tariff, and also-hatelhe income tax,,
ought to petition against both. • Those who, like the!
Anti-Corn-leaguers, and all the-sh,'-)pkeeperS of the cm-.
pine, hate the income-tax, ought also to hate the tariff..
Though Sir B. PEEL holds it out as a bribe, it is no com-
pensation whatever for his proposed tax, and those who.
hate the latter, ought to spurn the former. All holiest
man ought to reject and oppose both ; becat-se, the whole
`wine Of tat and t ibis brought forward: in -a, Machia-
vellian spirit of dividing to govern. Sir R...PEEL's plan
proceeds on the principle of bribing one class to act
against another. It sows dissension in society ; it sets
man against man. It preteas to offiti.- the middle
classes as a sacrifice to the lower classes, the farmers to,
the manufacturers, the mannficturers to the landowners
—and so through every part of society. It s gems to us
a devilish scheme, the appropriate offspring or ..the Devil's
laws ; which.`should be resisted in tote.

THE INCOME TAX A BADGE OF
SLAVERY.
TO THE EDITOR OF TILE .SILY:

Sza,—Taxes on earnings, or income -other than fixed, in—
volve inquiry into the means and transactions of those who have.
to pay them. This incpury or prying into individuals' affairs is-
neither more nor less than actual, unmitigated, and most evil—
producing tyranny. None but a nation of slaves, or a Italica.
in the last extremity of peril, ought to submit to it. But wee
are to have necessities—save and except always bread, the star
of life—cheapened in return for submitting to this tyramly.
would ask high-spirited Englishmen how long it will be before•
they become slaves—arrant, hopeless 'slaves—if they allow
cha►ns to be fixed upon them because they are gilded—i thevr
take the bribe of somewhat cheaper victuals (bread exceptezl).
for surrendering the sacred right of preventing the Government
froM prying into all their homes, and trading means, and:
affilirs? For my own part, I would rather pay 50 or 100 per•
cent. more for my living, and be free from the inquisitors or
toe income tax, than be relieved to such amount and be sub—
; jeet to the preliminary printed interrogatories, subsequent.
knowledge, and ultimate decisions of such odious spies wick
familiars. _ _ .

Rely upon it, Sir, the appalling feature of the income tax ig
its inquisitorial and most unconstitutional prying into the affairs
of the community. When I read the questions addressed to
firms by the Tax Commissioners of 1811 (which were printed
the day before yesterday in your paper), I was perfectly- as-
tounded. I call, therefore, on all parties to go to the Lforde
'.and the Queen against the unconstitutional and everlasting
income tax.—Lain, Sir, your obedient servant,

" UNIVERSALITY OF TAXATION.

"Taxes upon every article that enters into the mouth, or
covers the back, or is placed under the fJot; taxes upon every
thing that is pleasant to see, hear, feel, smell, and taste; taxes
upon warmth, light, and locomotion; taxes on every thing on,
earth, and the waters under the earth ; on every thing that:
comes from abroad, or is grown at home • taxes on the raw-
material ; taxes on every value that is added to it by the in.-
dustry of man ; taxes on the sauce which pampers man's line-
tile, and the drug which restored him to health ; on the ermine.,
which decorates the judge, and the rope which hangs the/
criminal ; on the poor man's salt, and the rich man's ,pice:.;
on the brass nails of the coffin, and the ribbands of the bride
at bed or at board, couchant or levant, we must pay. The.
schoolboy whips his taxed top ; the beardless youth manages:
his taxed horse with a taxed bridle on a taxed road ; and the.
dying Englishma.n, pouring his medicine which has paid seven.
per cent. into a spoon which has paid fifteen per cent., t h
-himself back upon his chintz bed, which has paid twenty.two.
per cent.,4nakes his will on stamped paper, and expires in the,
arms of an, apothecary, who has paid 1001. for the privilege e
putting him to death. His whole property is then taxed from.
two to ten per cent. Besides the probate, large fees are de-
manded for burs ing him in the channel ;. his virtues itre handed
down to posterity on taxed marble ; and he is then•gathesal
to. his fathers—to be taxed no more."
P. S. (1842) Are taxes on earnings to be added?

ABANDONMENT OF THE DUBLIN THEATRE.—" LaS
week but one of the • Winter Season. —Mr. Calcraft regret
exceedingly that the total desertion of the theatre by all classesa
of the public, obliges him to close the winter season at a.
much earlier period than usual, after sustaining a heavy loss§
dining a long series of many weeks, and by which a large.
esiumunity.of industrious and respectable persons are curtailed:
of their principal means of dependence. It is Manifest that:
no resources, however great, and no energy, however perse-.
Tering, can support a large public establishment without thee
assistance of the public. Mr. Calcraft respectfully appeals for
the good taste and feeling of the citizens of Dublin no. sow
suffer their national theatre to be extinguished, at a time when'
the city appears to be crowded with the rank and wealth or
the land, when a very moderate share of patronage %vlid(
enable it to combat successfully with all difficulties, and when.
there are engagements formed, involving great responsibilities
on the part of the manager, and comprising the most brilliant
talent in all departments of the drama, with every prospect of:
a salsfactoiy result.." This announcement cannot have comet
by surprise on those who have witnessed the gradual with+
drawal of patronage from our national dramatic establishment..
until. with every attraction capable of being produced, than
theatre haslatterly become actually abandoned.—Dublin &env,
