(TEE DEPLORABLE SEAT OF WAR),

NEPAUL, THIBET, BURMAH,

The business of Parliament' after the holidays begun
rather spiritless. The Members were slow 'in assem-
bling. The Ministerial benches remained long unoccu-
pied, as if Sir ROBERT PEEL and his friends )expected
an attack, which. they were not eager to encounter.
None, howeier, was made, and the Right Hon. Baronet
had the satisfaction; at the close of the evening, of car-
rying his resolution; to impose an income tax on the
people, with the unanimous concurrence of the House of
Commons. No vote even Was come to. ' There was no
opposition to thernotion placed on record, and it will be
handed down to posterity that our patriotic, high-minded
people, by' the -mouth. of their representatives, in
the midst of peace, and in the:ninth year of a Befoymed
Parliament, agreed to re-impoSe on themselves that in!.
come tax which their fathers, twenty-six years before
shook off, with loathing and disgust, in order to maintain

- -
people. Verily ! we shall appear to our posterity either
as the most virtuous or the most foolish of men. We
will not forestall its judgment, further than to say that
we are unacquainted with any previously made law con-
cerning taxes and trade, which this generation does
not condemn.
_We anticipate for the laws of the present
Parliament the same verdict which this generation has
pronounced on the laws of its predecesors.
That business in which the public is most interested,
the income tax and the
.tariff, was incidentally adverted
to at the commencement of the evening by Mr. Tnosrms
' who with that just discrimination which
distinguishes-his conduct, gave notice of 'a motion for
Thursday to rescind the Standing Orders, which.
prohibit the people prom approaching the House
by petition, while the House is laying schemes
to draw the blood of the people, aka tax them. The tariff
was directly adverted to by Mr. RAIKES CURRIE, who
asked Sir R. PEEL very plainly and pointedly, whether
he meant to apply his declaration, that he would resign
office, if he could not carry his financial scheme into ef-
fect, to the tariff as well as to the income tax. The
Right Hon. Baronet winced under the important ques-
tion, and rather shuffled in answering it. He admitted
that he had seen several parties on the subject ; that he
had gathered information after proposing his measure ;
that he meant to ,introduce some modifications of the
duties; at the same time he should stand by the general
principles of the tnriff. But modifications in a tariff are
every thing, and to give up details is to give up principles.
What in fact are the principles of the tariff ? To do
away prohibitions, to lower some protective duties, and
to establish a series of differential duties on all the pos-
sible productions of the colonies. To substitute duties
for prohibitions was the principle of Mr. HusKissori
The utility of lowering duties depends on the degree.
The establishment of a series of differential duties is un-
warranted by science. The Right Hon. Baronet may
stick to the last, because it is a piece of pedantic and
absurd abstraction which no living interest will now
trouble itself to oppose. It is only in the second that
modifications can take place, and till we have seen
how much the Right lion. Baronet yields to the
clamour . of the protected interests, and till we
have* ascertained when he proposes that all the
alterations of the tariff should come into opera-
tion, we cannot pretend to form an opinion on the
steadiness with which the Right Hon. Baronet adheres
to his own proposition. In the mean time we consider
his answer neither direct nor satisfactory.
He stated that, in bringing forward his tariff, he had a
sincere desire to do justice between the producing and
consuming classes. What an arrogant man I. How can
he do justice between them ? It can only be done by the
higgling of the market. To put any constraint on
one or the, other—to bias either—to make one give a
single farthing more or less than he otherwise would
to the other, is to commit injustice, which is done
by Sir ROBERT PEEL in every line of his
tariff. He gives something to one which he takes away
from another. He cannot modify or establish a protect-
ing duty without committing injustice. The thing is
impossible, because, between consumers and producers,
justice can only be done by allowing them freel.y to make
their bargains with one another, a:d to protect them in
doing so. Sir R. PEEL did not say—l am the guardian
angel of the nation, appointed to rule over it,
and regulate all its affairs—but he implied as
much, when he assumed the power .of doing
justice betwixt producers and consumers. Justice
is, we repeat, only to be done between them, by leaving
them freely to what Dr. SMITH calls the higgling of the
market ; and the man who pretends to do justice, when
he interferes betwixt them, betrays at once excessive
ignorance and equal arrogance.
It was wont to be said, that the laws were the expres-
sion of the general will. Henceforward the phrase must
be altered. The proposed laws will not be the expres-
sion of the public will, but of Sir R. PEEL'S will. Every
interest in the State opposes them. He brings them
forward, and he coerces the Parliament into an accept-
ance of them by threatening to resign. He supposes him-
self indispensible to the nation, as he is to the Tories,
and because they say do not oppose Sir ROBERT, other-
wise he will resign, lie concludes that his will must be the
law of the land. It finds no supporters for its own sake;
but the Tories support the man. They cry aloud the
Whigs will devour us if we turn out PEEL, and they
vote for laws which they condemn, in order to keep in PEEL
and' keep out the Whigs. Mr. HUME was severely
censured by the Tories for voting against his conviction
in the case of the Russo-Dutch loan, to keep out the
Tories, but now we find the whole Tory party im-
proving on his example, and voting for those reductions
of the tariff which they detest, to keep out the Whigs.
The bulk of the Tories now stand in that peculiar situa-
tion, occupying which on a single occasion was said
by them to be a disgrace to Mr. Hum& Their censures
on his conduct condemn as factious and unprincipled their
whole proceedings.
We are not disposed to uphold any protected inte-
rests, but we must say that the graziers have abundant
reason to complain -while the sugar monopoly is un-
abated. They are great consumers of sugar, and were
its price less they would consume much more. They are
mostly growers of fruit, and many of them are makers
of home-made wine ; their expenses would be much les-
sened and their enjoyments increased were the duties
on foreign sugar reduced. Till that be done, and till
other monopolies be abated, they will have good reason
to complain of the introduction of foreign cattle and
meat. It is not justice, they will tell Sir ROBERT PEEL,
to keep out sugar and let in beef and pork.
The farmers, may, perhaps, say, too, that had a farmer
been Chancellor of the Exchequer instead of a West
Indian propriefor ; and had a grazier been Vice-President
of the. Board Of Trade, instead of a gentleman closely
connected with the sugar growing colonies, the sugar
monopoly would have been 'abated, at least as early, if
not before, the cattle monopoly. But as the farmers
friend is turned out of the Cabinet, and the active mem-
bers of the Government profit by the sugar monopoly,
the farmers may think that their interests have been sa-
crificed, and the interests of the sugar-growers upheld,
under the pretext of protecting the emancipated slaves.
If, arriving at such a conviction, they should suspect
the whole Cabinet of treachery, who could blame them ?

At a meeting of the Berkshire farmers at Newbury,
on Thursday last, Mr W. CLARK ofbCrookham, who was
in the chair, stated that the proposed alterations of the
tariff and Corn-laws would take away from the farmers
25,000,0001. They would lose 10,000,0001., he said, by
wheat, 4,000,0001. by barley, 8,000,0001. by the reduced
price of butcher's meat, and 3,000,0001. by the fall
in the price of spring corn. Now, if taking away
from the farmers about one tenth, or ten per cent,
of their protection, which is about the average reduction,
at most, which is made by the tariff, takes from them
25,000,0001., it follows, that by the whole of the protec-
tion, which they now enjoy, they take away 250,000,0001.
annually from the rest of the people. None of the most
ardent Anti-Corn-law men have ever estimated the
plunder of the people by Corn and Provision-laws at
half that sum. But this enormous amount is, for their
own purposes, declared by the agriculturists them-
selves ; and we see no reason why Mr. W. CLARK, of
Crookham, should not be allowed to testify against his
class. We are ready to admit, on his showing that the
