its becoming an article of universul wear.

INJUSTICE OF AN INCOME TAX.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlA—Looking dispassionaiely._ Sir Robert Peel's new
scheme, lam somewhat surprised that, wedded as he is to the
scale system, he has not adopted it in his proposed Income Tax.
In common with others of limited means, although I cannot
afford, I do not object to bear the burdens of the State, whether
they present themselves in a permanent shape or not, provided
they are placed prorata according -to our power to do and to
suffer; but how many a poqr. gentleman, " existing on ekeing
out his half-pay or other resources," say some 2001. per an-
num, will find this tax most. oppressive and inquisitorial ; the
latter not the least obnox.ous part of this grand alterative. The
61. a year will nearly pay half...of the rent of many a happy
home, in such places as Devonshire; and, of course, be so
much taken from what could not be spared. However, if such
a measure be requisite—if the many are to pay with the few,
let it bear a proportion ; say from '2 to 5 per cent., for surely
the man with an income of 20,0001. is better able to pay the
latter, than he with as many pence the firmer per centage.
Now if this modern Jupiter would but keep the hog (which
we have not p .ayed for) from pressing too hardly upon us poor
frogs, it would go very far to establish him and his measures in
the good opinion of thousands; who, though subordinate agents,
are essential to the existence of a peaceful, happy, and health-
ful state.

LONDON,
TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 15, 1842.

SIR.--I beg to draw your attention to the great injustice it
would be to the possessors of Rank Annuities, should they be
charged as others—more than one-half of their interest being
absorbed in capital lost wholly in 18 years.
Your's respectfully, H. B.
Should the profits of trade, open *to so mans drawbacks be
charged as a certain fixed salary or income?

We see with much satisfaction that Lord BROUGHAM
announced last night that he would, this evening, bring
before their Lordships a series of resolutions on an in-
come tax. No man is SCI well qualified as Lord
BROUGHAM to do justice to this important subject ; ht
will treat it, we have no doubt, with dignity, and makt
it impressive: Lord BROUGHAM cann'jt fail to remember

SHIPS BUILT, TO ROT.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sia,—Some time ago, while staying in Portsmouth for a
few days, I went over the hull of a large man-of-war called the
Neptune, which I was told had been built seven years, and
allowed to remain in the harbour all that time without beingfitted
out. While the country is continually being put to the expense
of building ships of this description, would it not be as well to
inquire whether there are not any already begun, and going to
rot for want of use ? If you could, through the medium of
your paper, give an answer to this inquiry, you would greatly
oblige,—Your obedient servant.
Hull, March 12, 1842. - A CONSTANT READER.
P.S. At the same time I was shown another ship, whiFh
was said (whether truly or net I am not able to say) to have
bsen laid by in the same way for seventeen years. The Nep-
tine was, if I remember rightly, pierced for 120 guns.

re bitter cornplaifits which were urged against the pro.

perty tax till it was abolished in 1816, and h(
will be convinced that it is of more importance to a Go-
vernment to preserve the affections and respect of itr
subjects, than to increase its revenue.
We insert elsewhere a communication " On the in-
justice of an income tax," from a commercial traveller.
the spirit of which is embodied in one of Lore
BROUGHAM'S resolutions. It is expedient, says his Lord-
ship, to make a distinction between incomes derived
from capital, and incomes derived from labour; between
incomes for a term of years, and incomes for a perpetuity.
Everybody sees at a glance that it is unjust to tax an
income of 2001. a-year, derived from labour, and which
ceases with tho labourer, at the same rate as an incomt
of 2001. a-year derived from land or from funds, which
remains after the owner is gone, is a provision for thost
who have shared it with him while in life. A simile]
rule applies to those whoie situations ensure pensions of
annuities of any kind, not saved from their incomes to
their widows, in comparison to those whose situations
secure • them no such advantage. Again, every-
body sees at a glance, that if it be ; unjust to
tax an income of 1491. becanse it is barely enough tin,
support a family, it must be unjust to tax an income o.

The Derby betting extended over a respectable list of fa-
vourites, but failed to produce any great impression on the
odds. Attila, though seldom mentioned, showed an inclina.
tion to retreat, while, on the other hand, the Chatham party
bore up stoutly, and after an outlay of three or four hundred
pounds at 20 to 1, had the satisfaction of hearing him quoted
at 18 to 1, with offers to take anything above it. In the
next lot of five we haVe only one change to point out, and
that is in the Dirce colt, who gave way several points. The
most prominent outside's were Palinurus and Canadian ;
each was named at an improved' quotation, but neither of
them backed to any extent. The Joanna colt, The Lord of
Holderness, Gobbo, and Sir G. Heathcote's lot, had some
zealous supporters, without having mended their position.

Messrs' S. and B. SOLOISIONS, Opticians and Aurists, during
a professional experience of thirty years, have had ample oppor-
tunities of verifying that the Organs of Sight and Hearing
are sympatheticaily rel-sted to each other in such a peculiar
manner, that when the former beco!res imperfect the sense
of hearing becomes rapidly dull-.this fact is admitted by sci.
entifie authorities, and must be observable by many thou.
ands of individuals thus circumstanced—which is deserving the
public's most serious attention. The Messrs. Solt m me, with a view
to remedy such an affection, and after they have devoted their whole
lives to this interesting branch of science, have succeeded in effecting
for imperfect visi n a most scientific improvement in a Transparency
for Spectacles, and a preventive an.l cure for Deafness; they have in.
vented an Operative Voice Conductor, upon a very small construct ion,
not perceptible; it requires no holding, end the individual imme-
diately becomesmne of the party in the general conversation.
y these important discoveries not only is defective vision
brought to nature, but the sense of hearing is restored to its
original acuteness; those Lenses . arc so con tructed and
adapted to weak and imperfect eyesight, upon such' scientific prin-
ciples, combined with the long extenstVe experien, o of the Messrs.
Solomons, that they will be tbund to effect such an extent
of relief, whice will far exceed their utmost and root sanguine ex.
pectations. On placing those Lenses before imperfect vision, either
by day or candlelight, every object becomes clear and distinct, and
the most minute particle seen with exact distinctness. The Messrs.
Solomons have in their possession, without one exception, Spectacles
and h:ar Instruments of every kind which are offered to the public

SUN.—Much speculation has been going forward for some
short time past in South American Securites,lifounded chiefly
upon the probability that several of the State• are likely to re-
sume payment. The rise has been principally in Mexican and
Columbian, the former being now quoted 3s to 40, and the
latter 25 to 25%. The Brazilian Loan having been received here,
an advance of about per cent. occurred, and the closing
prices were 67% 674. Spanish left off at 24% 24%.
In Shares little was done. Great Western left off at 90 to
91 ; the New Shares 62% to 635; and the Fifths 10 to

Sir ROBERT PEEL has accompanied his obnoxious

We see with no little surprise that the journal:.
of his party, taking their cue from him, have all at once
found out that the cheapness which he is to promote will
be wonderfully advantageous, and that he is a great
benefactor to the peOple becaup he proposes to lower
several of the duties on provisions. Far be it from us
to deny the great advantages of such reductions, but
why did not he, and why did not our Tory Contempora-
ries apply a principle to whe'at and barley which is true
as to beef and pork ?

classes.

We rejoice very much in behalf of the working classes
that the duty on potatoes is reduced from 2s. to 2d,
per cwt. that all kinds of fish, much of which has hitherto
been prohibited, may heneeforth be imported at mode-
rate duties ; that the duties on bacon are reduced from
11 Bs. per cwt. to 145., and on salt beef from 12s. to Bs..
while the duty on corn-beef, before prohibited, is
fixed at Bs. Such alterations will be of great
public advantage, and will allow, we believe, of
various kinds of provisions being imported from Eu-
rope and America. But though Sir Robert Peel' has
joined these remissions and alterations of duties with an
income tax, they aremt necessarily connected with it. The
country now derives no revenue from the provision duties
which he proposes to lower, and the substitution ofduties
for prohibitions, will add to the revenue, not diminish it.
The alteration in the tariffs, therefore; afford no pretext
for an income tax. lie has cunningly joined the two;
but there is no reason whatever why we should give three
per cent. of our incomes because the men now in 'office
—thanks to the perseverance of Messrs. Hums, VIL-
LIERS, THORNELY, and the other promoters of the Im-
port Duties' Committee—have at length opened their
eyes' to the incongruities of our tariff, and have
set about correcting some few of its monstrous inequali-
ties. There is no necessary connexion, we repeat, be.
tween these alterations of the tariff, which are highly to
be approved of, and the imposition of a new and inqui-
sitorial tax, except that both are proposed by the same
inconsistent Minister.

Be it remarked also, that SIR ROBERT PEEL's tariff,

MRS. THO3ISON'S NEW HISTORICAL ROMANCE.
Now ready at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., post Bvo.,
ANNE BOLEYN,
By Mrs. A. TT. THOMSON,
Author of " The Life of Henry VII, &c."
"Nothing daunted by difficulties Mrs. Thomson has boldly
plunged into the stream, and selecting one of the most stirring,
most brilliant, but, alas ! most sanguinary periods in our his-
tory; has woven from it a romance at once valuable for its
vraisemblance,' entertaining for its adventure, and delightful
for the sentiments, the reflections and the observations which
are scattered with a well regulated abundance through its
pages. Our author has taken the sad history of Anne Boleyn
for her text, and tracing her from youthful and quiet days at
Hever Castle, through her short and troubled reign, down to
its premature termination on the scaffold, has given us a pic-
ture of the mind, and manners and motives of that ill-fated
Princess, only to he equalled in fidelity by that which the ini-
mitable Holbein has left us of her outward lineaments. But
Anne is only one of a brilliant and lifelike group. The coarse
and brutal Henry is sketched with masterly strokes, while the
courtly and gifted Wyatt, the gallant ill-fated Surrey, and all
the other noted personages of the period in which the scene of
the romance is laid, are treated with equal skill and fidelity."
