:Lord J. RUSSELL gave notice, last night, that he would
take the sense of the House on the resolution imposing
an income tax on the Report of that resolution, on the
first reading of the 8i11,.0n the second reading, and on
tho third reading, which will delay the measure, and
en ible the public to express their opinion on Sir R.
ra4L's proposition. If that notice be steadily followed
Lip, and the Opposition work together as they ought, and
wo expect they will, it will be impossible, we believe,
for the Tories to carry their measures in face of
publi c opinion. All kinds of arms should be used
againtlt Sir ROBERT, for he treats the House of Com-

LO.ND ON, FRIENDLY UNION.
Under the'Patienage of the Right Honourable Viscount
LAKE, the Right Honourable Lord KENYON, &c.
A distribution of about 3;000/ worth of CABINET FUR-
NITURE, Carpets, Blankets, Rurns, Cottons, and Linens, for
the BENEFIT of the. SIX TRADES, by Subscription of
' 2s. 6d.. on Tnunsiur, March 24, 1142.1 to be decided four
times a-year—vis.l in March, June, September, and Deeem-
ber. A Subscription of Ten Shillings per year csnstitutes a
Yearly Subscriber, entitled to four chances, one each Quarter,
and so on for every additional Ten Skillings subscribed. There
has been an increase of 16,776 Subscribers in less than two
months. No. 71, LEADENHALL-STREET.
The Society require no Gift or Donation for their Support ;
but every Subicription of 2s. 6d, entitles the Subseriber to a
(thane, of obtaining some article of their manufacture, varying
in value from 10s. to 201.
The Funds are not expended in giving temporary relief (as
they would then require to be inexhaustible), neither do they
encourage idleness, but are appropriated to a more praiseworthy
purpose, viz.:—
To find employment for the itd strious artisans, by distri-
buting. he produce of their labour among the Subscribers,
which gladdens their 'hearts under the great depression of
trade, and gives a stimulus to their industry. '
The present Funds enable the Committee to, give constant
employment to 1,129 mechanics, all with large families
(averaging five in each), thus giving weekly support, through
the means of " The London friendly Union," to 5,645 persons.
The Committee' would 'feel &WV!), rewarded for their
exertions if they eonld procure that patronage and support they
trust. the benevolent object of the Association deserves, which,
doubtless, would enable then' to employ, by Christmas 'next,
upwards of 20,000 artisans, who, by their own exertions
(taking their families in the 'same ratio as above), would obtain
a comfortable subsistence for 100,0000 individuals, and be the
means of partially alleviating plat extreme distress so feelingly
deplored in the Speech of her most Gracious Majesty at the
opening of the present Session of Parliament, wherein she
says—. I have observed, with deep regret, the continued dis-
tress in the manufacturing distriets of the country ; tke suffer-
ing and pii, ations•which have resulted from it have been borne
with exemplary patience and fortitude."
All letters for Subscription Receipts, enclosing the amount,
will be answered by return of post.

SUICIDE OF THE EARL OF
MUNSTER.
INQUEST ON THE BODY.
Last evening, at seven o'clock, Mr. Higgs and a Jury of 17
Gentlemen assembled at No. 13, Belgrave-street, Belgrave-
square, the residence of the Right Honourable George Earl of
Munster, to determine the cause of the death of that nobleman.
A gentleman, addressing the reporter, said, " I am the soli-
citor and friend of the deceased, and it is the particular request
of his Lord hip's family that no gentleman connected with the
Press should be excluded during the inquiry, because it it the
wish of his Lordship's family that no portion of the evidence
should be w ithheld from the public."
Two pistols lay on the table in the inquest-room-4belme
was,a pocket. pistol, the other a duelling-pistol, withithersorl
of the Prince of Wales on it, and which had been made a pre:
sent to the:deceased by George IV. when Prince of Walei.
The Jury having been sworn, proceeded to view the body o
the decease, which lay on the Library floor, on the basement
story, between the door and the end of the table, where his
Lordship usually sat. The face and head were severely and
extensively mutilated, and the right hand was wounded and
covered with bloOd, Deceased was lying on his right side; the
pocket pistol was on the floor near him, and the duelling-pistol
lay on the table, near the chair, where it was presumed his
Lordship had been previously sitting.
The following was the evidence taken upon this lamentable
occasion :
Robert Dale Smith, footman to the deceased Noble-
man, said—Last night, about half-past eleven o'clock, I was
undressing, and about to go to bed below stairs, when I heard
very indistinctly what I thought was the report of a pistol.
The ibrary bell rung immediately afterwards, and his Lord-
ship came out of the library, and he called out " Robert, Ro-
bert r and I said, I am coming. Then his Lordship called
out twice " Miller, Miller! '1 have shot my hand." His Lord-
ship came into the pantry immediately aftersiards, desiring me
to go and fetch 11r. Hamilton, the surgeon, of Piccadilly, im-
mediately, adding; " I have met with an accident, and shot my
hand." He then said, " Robert, skew me a light, and I fol-
lowed his Lordship up stairs to the library with a candle in my
hand, and found him at the library table, near where a pistol
was placed. He was in his dressing-gown, and he then told
me again to go for Mr. Hamilton.
The Coroner—Did you see his !hand then? Witness-1
did see it. It was his right hand; it was bloody; it was com-
pletely covered all o'er with blood.
Exaniination in chief resumed--In order to go for Mr.
Hamilton the surgeon, I left his Lordship's room immediately,
and ran down the kitchen stairs to tell Mr. Miller, his Lord-
shipls valet, that he had shot himself. Just as I got to the
bottom of the stairs, I met Mr. Miller, and heard another re-
port, and then I said his Lordship had shot himself again.
By a Juror—When I heard the first 'report I was coming out
of the pantry, and then heard his Lordship's bell ring, and in
an instant afterwards his Lordship came down into the pantry.
By the Coroner—The second report took place in about two
minutes after the first. I, Mr. Miller, and the under butler,
ran up into the library, and there we found his Lordship
lying as he is now, on hit right side, with his face shattered
to pieces. I saw a pistol lying ott the floor near his right
hand. His Lordship was bleeding then, and he died immedi-
ately afterwards. I then went for Mr. Hamilton, the sur-
geon, and he came with me immediately.
By a Juror—For the last fortnight his Lordship has been in
a very desponding state ; I think through illness. When I
Stela Into the library, after the second report, the candle was
out, but the lamp teas burning. His Lordship was not in the
habit of leaving pistols In tile library. I did not conclude until
I heard the second report that his LOtellthip had shot himself
purposely.
The Coroner (taking up the duelling pistol)—Do you
know if this is one of his Lordship's pistols?
Witrieq.:=-I do not know; I never saw it until last evening.
fly a iiirof-His Lordship was under medical advice, and Mr.
Hamilton and Dr. Chambers gait him on Sunday evening.
By the Coroner—l have, not tile Meet doubt at all but that
death was caused by an act of his own hand. When after the
first report I took the candle into the library his Lordship said
t hate done a pretty thing for myself by playing with
' piatalS "
Dr. William fret:fetich Chambers, M.D., of Brook-street,
Grosvener-square, examined—l Lids fent for: yesterday to see
his Lordship, and saw him for the first tithe In my medical
capacity, yesterday evening at 9 o'clock. I found tam sitting
in his library, and Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, Mr. Hamilton,
slid hadt Manster was in the room with him. I was told that
he had W'en In tl depreSsed state throughout the day, and 1
feared that he- was both tut* and mentally very low.
Examined into his symptoms generally, &el received rational
answers from him, but he spoke rather hastily, rind his general
thinner wis hurried. After I had examined him sufficiently, 1
reqtrested Hamilton, his ordinary medical attendant, and
who hid seen him for seeeral days past, to retire with me into
the. next recoil that we
-might consult together en the case.
As soon is Vie itere alone in ;fie room tee both exclaimed
at once " Surely Ire i 8 galifi Mill`," i then wrote a prescription
for quieting medicne and some egoling , clraOghts, and then
we came to the consideration of the questlof hew his Lordship
should be treated as to any restraint which should fie tee upon
him, as he had not committed any overt act of maillity.
It was clef tO its tinder the circumstances that it would nsl
be expedient to treat hitt as an insane person, although we
thought' it right to communicate onr fears as to the state of
his mind to his family. Another question Witt es to whether
he should be allowed to sleep alone, or whether it C'e'ild be
e±pedient that Lady Munster should be with him all nigiff:
Wit determined en the latter.

>arts of Scotland were very much interested, both in
hi, s propositions to tax income and to abolish the prohi•
biti'on of cattle ; that those propositions, only published
tot he world in London on Friday week, were, not yet
knot 7n in Scotland, and before they were well known.
the E ight Hon. Baronet was carrying forward his reso-
lution to tax income, while he precluded tha people
from en ,11 laying their complaints before Parliament.
Mr. MAu.tE, therefore, put it to the Right Hon. Baronet
whether, ;ender such circumstances, he would nob
delay his p.roceedings. Oh, no," said the Right
Hon. Baronet, in substance—a bland manner conceal-
ing a most despotic act—" I shall proceed, disregarding
what these remote Scotsmen may think or say of my
proceedings, satisfied that I am doing what I ought, be-
cause I, too, have received letters from Scotland, ex-
pressing great satisfaction with my measure." Why, the
satisfaction of his friends would not be abated were he
to wait till the people could learn what his measure is,
and form their opinions of it, but he persists in hurrying
it forward'lvhen he is told that those who are deeply
interested in it cannot yet possibly know its bearings.
Very properly did Mr. MAULE throw on him the respon-
sibility; and we hope that the men of Scotland will make
Sir R. PEEL aware that, in designing to injure, lie also
dares to insult them.

DEFERRED ANNUITIES.
The best and most varied provision for after life hitherto of-
fered--£2 12s. per annum (Is. per week) at 20, will at 65
give the policy-bolder the choice of an annuity of k:47 16s. 6d.
or R3,44-11t. cash, er policy at death of 4:466. Similar al-
vantages at 50, 55, and 60--Two-thirds payments lent at any
time, and Two •thirds returned in case of premature death.
The detailed Plans, and Last Annual Report, to be bad at
the ()Mee, at any of its Branches, or on application will be for-
warded post free._

Notwithstanding the opposition to be given to the
in.come tax in the House of Commons, we must inform
our readers that they must rely on themselves, more
than ~on the House of Commons. The gentlemen there,
on both sides, are accustomed to take away millions from
the people without the smallest regard to their nigh ;s and
their property. Clothe a measure of extortion with
the garb of financial necessity, say that it is
required for the Government to take away the pro-
perty of the people to any extent, and straightway both
sides of the House shall vote that money must be taken
out of one man's pocket and put into another man's
pocket with as much nonchalance as they would deal a
pack of cards.
The statesmen of both parties are destitute of all
notion of moral responsibility when they deal with the
property of the people, and they lavish it on expeditions
intopestilential countries, or on gewgaws for palaces, with
as thorough a recklessness as ever a youthful spendthrift
wasted an unexpected inheritance. Tht ty seem to think that
the Legislature creates the property it is constituted ter
protect, and that they may deal with the funds of hard
and toiling industry, that they may seize the profits of
ingenious exertion, and appropriate ;them by law to
what they are pleased to call the service of the State,
as if all the property of the people belonged to them.
Against this vast presumption, now• carried to an
unusual length, the people have a good opr %ortunity of pro.
testing. Let them, therefore, not rely exclusively on the
Opposition in Parliament, but meet and plainly tell the
House of Commons that it is constituted to protect their
property, not to plunder it, on any and every miserable
pretext. Sir llonEnw PEEL is only going a little fur-
ther than the Whigs went, and it is now for the people
at large to say whether they will be extensively plundered
by an income tax, or at once tell the Legislature that it
must begin to learn the hard lesson of respecting the
property of its constituents.

so as to have any sensible effect on the price of neat. To
the working-classes, however, and to the community at

They have been told explicitly by the Right, Hor. Ba-

price caused by the alterations in the tariff were t. D com-

owners that the principal alteration he is to effet:t will
not reduce the price of cattle or at all injure the gxazier.
It will therefore be of no use to the community. It is
thought a scandal to a lawyer to give

Witness—No, nothing of the kind occurred tons, We recom-

be watched. On our returning to his Lordship, after the ettr•
sliltificm, I took occasion before parting with him to say, that
trtiited hiS Lordship would take his medicine, and go at once
to bed, and remain quietly there, and compose himself there
until /saw him next day. To this ddttice I was surprised at the
answers his Lordship made. He replied rather sharply, " I shall
not go to bed until my usual hour." I asked what firt!r that
was, and he said about eleven o'clock. I assented to it, and
left him in the room with his lady, with his brother, Lord Adol-
plits Vinlarenee, and with Colonel Fox who had by this time
arrived. •

but what must be thought of the statesman who has one
ready-coined fib for the consumer or the pro ducer, as
either may make a demand on his prolific mint ? From
the commencement of the Session till last night Sir R.
PEEL has always had one tale for the landowners and
another for the consumers. He is quite a master of the
art of gulling, and appears to thrust his tongue in his
cheek as he knowingly turns from the Opposition to his
own friends with all the suavity and skill of a
We night laugh, perhaps, at this exhibition oft he lowest

Mr. George Miller, steward and valet to deceased, said—
The last time I saw his Lordship alive was on Sunday evening
its the library about 10 minutes past 11. Lady Munster was
then with him, bat she shortly went up stairs, and I remained
With his Lordship, and in two minutes afterwards he desired

&Way, as lie did hot want it any more, and go to bed. I took
his bed candlestick and handed it to him, and he pent to his
dressing.room, and then I left the library and went down
stairs to bed. I was about ten minutes below, and half un-
dressed, when Robert Smith called to me from the bottom of
the stairs to come directly, as his Lordship had shot himself.
I ran into the library directly, and found his Lordship lying
here he is no*. He gave five or six groans, and then died.
I lifted his head up, and put it on two large pillows, and I saw
that pistol (pointing to the duelling pistol) lying on the table
near to where his Lordship fell. The pistol had evidently been
just discharged, as it smelt of powder.
By a Juror—The pistols belonged to his Lordship, and were
usually left in the pantry ; but, about three weeks ago, having
had them cleaned, they were taken into the library, and have
since remained there in a case.

We have heard a good dear in the House of Com-
mons, and out of the House of Commons, concerning
the opinion which other nations ;will form of our con-
duct at this important crisis of our history. Great
anxiety even has been displayed by the Premier himself,
that the people should demean thems.elves in a manner
worthy of their ancestors, and worthy of the reputation
England has acquired in Europe. Everything which
has been said in the French Papers of his grand oration
and of his propositions, has been re-prodtwd in our own.
The public is sensibly alive to the opioion of the
cheated slaves of LOUIS PHILIPPE and the pedant
GUIZOT ; it seems to wait with breathless eagerness to
learn what the fettered and humiliated Press*. of Ger-
many may say of our willingness to receive tbe heavy
yoke which the bread-taxers are preparing for us
Some part of the public look with delight for the praise
which no doubt Prince 3IETTERNICH'S organs, taking
their cue from Sir R. PEEL, will be ready to pour forth
on the patriotism by which we sacrifice our liberties and
'our property to secure the ascendancy of the aristo-
cracy ; but there is one great nation, and we ;may say
the germs of many great nations, whose opinions
ought to be very dear to us, and which appear, as far
as we have observed, to have been overllooked.
What will the I:epublicans of the United States, sprung
with ourselves from ft common stock, inheriting with us
a common literature, and speaking a common language,
say of our submission to the inquisitorial income tax 1
What will the people of Canada.—what win those who
have gone to New Zealand and New lichen d, to build
up free and mighty commonwealths—say to our setting
them the example of permitting the tax-gatherel• to pry
into the books, and debts, and fees, and gains, of every
man in the community ? What will those, who beor the
name of Englishmen in every pert of the globe, stay to
our terrible degeneracy, should we for the paltry olt,:ect
of placing a few hundred thousand pounds in the Ex-
chequer, consent to a law which is more tyrannical thsin
any system of taxation known to the people of Europe,
whom we and they have always spoken of as no better
than slaves ? Talk of the peasant of Germany eating
brown bread, why, it would be better to eat the poorest
sustenance that ever nourished the human form, and live
free from the visits of the income taxer, than have in
conjunction with them the richest viands that ever graced
the table of the Lord Mayer. Let us reflect then, not on
what the fettered and politically degraded inhabitants
of Europe, will say of our submission to a ,system as
tyrannical as that they live under, but let us r effect on
the scorn and contempt which our submission to ,an in-

quence of having been sent for about Italf.past eleven on Sun-

dead. He had not been dead long. I inspected the body, and
found the roof of the mouth severely shattered, and the bones
of all the back and upper part of the head extensively fractured,
which appeared to me to be the effect of a gun-shot wound. 1
have not heard whether the ball has been found, though there
is the mark of one in the ceiling of the library. There is a
wound in the right hand, in the external part of which a ball
has lodged, and is there now. I think the last shot was fired
with his left hand, as his Lordship's right hand was very much
crippled.
By a Juror—The last ball fired appeared to have passed
behind his Lordship's eyes ;ind i think the muzzle of the pistol
must have been introduced pointing upwards into deceased's
mouth.

By. the Coroner—l have seen his Lordship every day for the
last ten days. He was threatened with symptoms of gout, and
was very anxious to prevent an attack, having a great deal of
business to attend to. I succeeded in relieving him from the
gout, but he was still in a depressed state with cold and cough.
His depression continued, and he complained much of his head.
His Lordship was subject to determination of blood to the head,
and he complained to me, during this last attack, that it was
not similar to those which were usual to him. He was parti-
cularly agitated about the disastrous news lately received from
India ; and on the day that that news arrived, I remarked that
he was particularly depressed; and from observations that he
made about the poor 'women, whom he said had been taken as
hostages at Cabool, I concluded that that fact had a great effect
upon him.

March 19, 1842. JOSEPH MARSH, Secretary.

A Juror—Did he mention our last Indian disasters more than
once? Witness—Yes, several times; -and it was then fur the
first time that I noticed that his mind was much agitated, and
in that state he continued for several days.
His Lordship's Solicitor here remarked that his Lordship's
family wished it should be known that his sensibility was ex-
tremely excited by the intelligence received from the seat of
war in Central Asia, and that he was greatly agitated and de-
pressed at the fate of the women, who it was reported had been
captured at Cabool.
The Jury immediately returned the following verdict—
" That deceased died by his own hand, whilst in a state of
temporary mental derangement."

MISS STRICKLAND'S " LIVES OF THE QUEENS OF
ENGLAND."—We understand that the fourth volume of this
interesting work, which has attained a degree of popularity
beyond all other historical productions of our time, will be pub-
lished in a few days. This volume may be looked upon as
the most attractive of the series, for besides the Life of
Elizabeth of York, surnamed the Good, Queen of Henry the
Seventh, it will contain the Lives of the Queens of Henry
the Eighth, most of the particulars of which will be now for
the first time given to the public. The consorts of this Mo-
narch are peculiarly interesting, from their being interwoven
with the events of the Reformation, and their lives form alto-
gether the most remarkable chain of biographies that have yet
appeared in the annals of female Ro3 atty. Miss Strickland's
researches into the histories of these Sovereigns have been
attended, we understand, with the greatest success, and site has
brought to light a series of facts which will give increased
value to her biographies, illustrating one of the most important
periods in the history of our country.
The experience we have already had of the accu-
racy of Grimstune's'Weather Almanack for 1841, inclines u to
place great reliance on the predictions of that iri his edition for
1842. Indeed, up to this date, they have been pretty correct.
There is a great deal of care and taste evinced in the getting up
of this elegant little work. It abounds in useful information
for rnti chants. t.rtners, and gardeners. It may be as well to
inform our readers, that this Grimstnne is the inventor of the
celebrated eye snuff,

THE HIGHLAND SOCIETY.—This Society celebrated
the anniversary of the vietory of Alexandria last night
at the Freemasons' Tavern. The Duke of Cambridge
was to have taken the chair, but owing to the unfortu-

was prevented from attending. The Chisholm presided.
and the entertainment went off in true Highland style.

A few days ago, says the Memorial of Pau, as the
