1 A meeting of gentlerNX,EconTvAeln'ed by • ular by the
TiTininittee of the United Reform Club, clwreas held this
afternoon in the Club-room, Mr. Richardby in the Chair,
when the following resolutions were passed :
Resolved,—.That this meeting views with alarm 'the
proposition of Government, to institute, as a source of
revenue, a tax upon incomes derived from trade and
commerce, the machinery necessary for the collection of
which will, of necessity, be of so inquisitorial a nature
as to be odious to the people of this country ; and from
its operations will, in a great measure, have a tendency
to sap the foundations of the morals of the community.
Resolved,—That this meeting is of opinion that, before
the imposition of a tax of the above nature, every other
source of revenue ought to have been previously ex-
hausted ; and so long as the real property of the country,
passing by descent entail or by will, has not yet been
called upon to contribute to the exigencies of. the State ;
and in the absence of a liberal commercial policy affecting
timber, sugar, and corn, it is highly unjust and impolitic
to add to the burdens of a class already overburdened by
the operation of partial and unjust laws.
That the above resolutions be sent to the Members for
the borough, requesting them to use every means to
prevent the income tax from passing into a law.

FUNERAL OF THE LATE H.
HOWARD, ESQ.
The remains of this venerable gentleman were interred in
the family vault at Wetheral, on Tuesday last. Incompliance
with the directions of the deceased, the invitations to the
funeral did not extend beyond the tenantry upon the estate,
and the gentlemen who were to act as pall bearers; but it
being generally understood that the family of the deceased
would look upon the voluntary attendance of others as a mark
of respect to his memory, great numbers of persons from Car-
lisle, and the neighbourhood, proceeded to Corby by the early
train.
The Corporation of Carlisle met in the Town Hall a little
after nine o'clock, and it was resolved that the Council should
attend the funeral of the late Mr. Howard, as a mark of she
respect and veneration in which he was held by that body.
A room in the Castle, adjoining the noble library, bad been
fitted up as a temporary Mortuary Chapel, and here die body
of the deceased, enclosed in a very handsome coffin, was placed.
In this place, on Monday, the impressive funeral service, ac-
cording to the ritual of the Catholic Church, was performed
with great solemnity. The Rev. W. Ryan, of St. Mary's,
Warwick Bridge, officiated; and was assisted by the Rev.
Joseph Marshall, of Carlisle, the Rev. G. Leo Haydock, of
Penrith; the Rev. E. Kelly, of Wigton; and the Rev. Josepb
Cullen.

The coffin was covered with black velvet, and had largo
massive silver hand.es. At the head was a cross in silver tissue
and beneath it a shield, bearing, the following inscription
" Henry Howard, of Corby Castle, born 2d day of July, 17,57 ,
died Ist day of March, 1:342 =
." Below the shield was a olio-
gram, composed of the Greek characters X and P interwoven,
being the two first letters in the name of Christ, with the Setters
Alpha and Omega (the beginning and the end) at the sides of
it. This was a device in frequent use among the early-Chris.
tians, intended as a symbol of the Christiana hope in the re-
demption through Christ. At the foot of the coffin were the
initial letters of the words " Requiescat iaa pace.'
A little before twelve o'clock the mournful procession started
from the Castle. The coffin was placed in a hearse, drawn by
four black horses. Tile chief mourners were P. H. Howard,
Esq., M.P. (eldest son of the deceased), the Hen. Philip
Stourton, the Hon. Frederick Petre (son of Lord Petre,
and grandson of the deceased, his father being unable to at-
tend in consequence of illness), and Henry Petre, Esq., o
Dunkenhalgh, Lancashire.

About thirteen carriages followed the hearse, and a great
number of the tenantry, wearing black hatbands and gloves.
on horseback and on foot, formed in the procession, which con-
sisted of several hundrad persons. The proesssion passed
through the grounds, and along the road by Warwick Bridge
to Wetheral. At almost every turn of the road, groups of peo-
ple were gathered to witness the funeral, and many an eye was
dimmed with tears at seeing the remains of the good old man.
carried to their last resting-place.
The funeral service was read by the Rev. E. Stanger, the
venerable incumbent of the parish, who appeared deeply affec--
ted by the performance of the last sad office over the remains of
one with whom he had so long been in habits of friendship.
The little church was crowded with spectators. end the solemn.
service was listened to with breathless attention.
At the conclusion of the service the coffin was lowered into
the vault. And thus has the tomb closed upon one full of
years, and who had earned for himse.f the love and ver,eratioa
of all with whom ha had ever conic in contact—whose life has
been as blameless at his end has been happy—dying in peace
with all men.

We understand that a dirge and solemn High Sias:, for the
dead way celebrated tat Thursday, the 10th, at tit:, Batari.ga

ME *TOR! 4L TO E. T. BAIT.
BRIDGE, ESQ.
A numerous meeting of of the electors and other inhabitants
of Taunton was held on Monday, for the purpose of raisiitg a
fund for presenting to their late representative a mere.orial of
their respect and gratitude for his long services, and faithful
ando
his duties in the House of Com-
mons,attentive kindness to the inhabitants,
m,his independentfonn discharge
and o!'
and his thoroughly honourable conduct throughout hie long
connexion with the borough."
Not the least gratifying feature of this dcroon.stration, is the,
fact that it was begun by the pcorer classes. It will, of course.
be gladly adopted by all who value independence and
uprightness in public men. The resolutions go to limit
she subscription of each individual to five shillings as
the highest sum ; but the wealthier classes may show
their liberality by enabling the very children ti the
poor to place their names upon the list of subscribers which
will accompany the gift, and which will be accounted by Mr.
Bainbridge, the most valued and treasured portion of it.
Mr. Bainbridge does, indeed, deserve the warmest tribute
of gratitude which constituents can offer. On no siagle
occasion during so many years of hard service, did
he fail faithfully to discharge his duty. Scarcely
has he recorded one vote which did not meet the
approval of those he represented. He never sacrifie,:ed prin-
ciple to party. He neier cones ded a conscientious glinion to
a short-sighted expediency. And in his private relations with
the town, he was distineuished for a kindness, charity,_ and
courtesy, as rare as they are delightful.
The circumstances attending his retirement were of a piece
with his previous career. Seldom has a more generous sacrifice
been made by an individual for the welfare of his principits.
Previously to the general election it had been Air. Bain-
bridge's intention to retire into private life. He sent his
resignation to his friends, but there was not time before the
dissolution to make the necessary arrangements for procuring
another candidate. It was represented to him that the con-
sequence would be the triumph of Toryism in the Borough,
which had been so long the champion of the cause of the
many against the oppression of the few, and he consented,
rather than the cause should suffer, to tight the battle, at the
same time declaring, that as soots as he had seen that cause safe,
he should resign. He led the glorious cause of the country
against the forces of Oligarchy and Monopoly, and triumphed,
and then, with almost Roman heroism, he put his resigna-
tion in the hands of his friends, requesting them to use it when
they could do so with great advantage to the cause for which he
had fought so manfully. The result is known to the world.-...

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY.
None of the Derby} favourites were in force yesterday
afternoon, nor was the general betting by any means so
brisk as on Monday. 8 to 1 was laid to about 3001.
against Attila, and from the feeling displayed in various
quarters, a further decline seems highly probable.
Neither Auckland nor Chatham were in favour, the
odds quoted against each having been offered currently,
Ballinkeele had a formidable enemy, notwthstanding it
was stated that his arrival in Oxford-street may be
hourly expected. In fact, the only movement upward
worth alluding to, was in The Lord of liolderness,
whose friends were so fond that the last offers to lay
did not exceed 20 to 1. Very little money was got on
Palinurus, and Espartero improved a little, and 2,000
to 15 was taken several times about Belcair. Nothing
fresh, either in Chester Cup or Oaks. Closing prices—

come months ago, as our readers may reinember, a
murder was committed in the Rue d'Arcole, where the bctiliy
of a young man, in a respectable station of society, was found
lying amidst the materials of a house in course of building, and
under circumstances which showed thaS, crimes of more than
one nature had led to the act. The
young man was Rot deod
when thus oiscovered, but expired soon after being carried into
the Hotel Dieu, without disclosing his name. The police, who
have been on the watch for discovering his assassins ever since,
are stated by the Gazette des - Tribunaux to have at last suc-
ceeded in apprehending two individuals of the most infamous
character, who are believed, almost beyond a doubt, to have
committed the crime above alluded to.
