SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

GLOBE.—One of the most obvious benefits which
the nation has a right to expect and demand from the
Government, as the consequence of restored peace, is
relief from the burdens which were imposed in order
to meet the increased expenses occasioned by war—
especially if the treaty of peace secure the payment to
this country of a sum which, with the amount re-
ceived from the extraordinary impost, not only meets
the additional expenses incurred by the war, but also
the deficiency in the Exchequer arising from every
other cause of defalcation. This, then, is the
case we undertake to establish. If we suc-
ceed, all pretence for continuing the Income-tax
beyond the current year is removed. That most
iniquitous and obnoxious tax—the oppression and
annoyances of which have been denounced alike
strongly by the Tory and Whig journals—will have
received its death-blow. The 10th of October next
will be the close of its infamous career. We take,
then, for the purposes of our argument, Sir Robert
Peel's estimate of the deficiency for which, on the
11 th of March last, when proposing the Income-tax,
he was called on to provide. Sir Robert Peel
then took credit for " making a full and fair
statement" of the financial difficulties of the
country. Let the Right Hon. Baronet, however,
take the benefit of his own " full" exposition. The
deficiency was 7,502,000/. ; the estimated deficiency
for 1843, was 2,570,000/. ; the latter sum, of course
will, by the termination of the Chinese and Indian wars,
be very considerably reduced. Taking, however, this,
greatly overrated estimate of the expenditure for 1843,
the entire amount to be provided for is 10,720,0001.
a sum which is nearly covered by the five millions to
be paid by the Chinese Government, and the five mil-
lions which will be produced by the first year's
Income-tax. The reduction in the Army and
Navy Estimates will, of course, be considerable.
The impulse given to trade and manufactures by
the opening of the Chinese markets to British
produce, and the consequent ability of the long-
unemployed manufacturing population of this coun-
try to purchase something like an adequate proper•
tion of the articles of general consumption, on which
the national revenue depends to a considerable
extent for its receipts—these obvious and indis-
putable sources of increase, with the certainty of a
large diminution:ln the estimates which will be required
for the naval and military services, will relieve the
Exchequer on the one hand, and replenish it on the
other. The deficiency is thus met—and the appre-
hension of a recurrence of such a state of things is re-
moved. We have only to advert to the strong assur-
ance given by the Duke of Wellington in the House
of Lords during the debates on the Income-tax Bill
in that assembly, to satisfy the country that nothing
more is necessary than for a strong demonstration of
public opinion to be made against this vexatious and
oppressive tax, to secure its abandonment by the Go-
vernment at the close of its first year's operation :
" We are aware," said his Grace, speaking in the
name of the Government, " of the odious nature of

the powers given to the Commissioners and others ap-
pointed to carry out its provisions, and to whom it
must be entrusted, and we reconcile it only to our-
selves by the strong necessity of the case. My Lords,
nothing but the necessity of the case—nothing but
the certainty that no other course could be taken which
would produce a revenue to enable us to meet the
difficulties of the country, or to take those measures
which may be necessary for its prosperity, could havr
induced us to propose such a measure to Parliament;
and, as I said before, it will not be continued one moment
longer than it is absoutely necessary."
in demanding, on behalf of the country, the aboli-
tion of this tax—the odious character of which is ad-

mitted by its proposers—we ask for nothing more
than the fulfilment of the pledge here given. The
Duke of Wellington in the Lords reiterates the lan-
guage of Sir Robert Peel in the Commons " Neces-
sity"—" strong necessity," impelled the Government
to have recourse to it : that necessity, happily, no
longer exists. We demand, and the country will en-
force, the pledge so clearly and fully given, that " the
tax shall not be continued one moment longer than is
absolutely necessary."
STANDARD.—The murder of Mr. Scully has
excited an extraordinary interest in Ireland. The
crime by itself is a shocking one, though, unhappily,
too familiar in the sister island to create the feeling

that this murder has created ; but the position of the
victim was peculiar. Mr. Scully was a Roman Ca-
tholic and a Liberal in politics, the son of a dis-
tinguished member of the Irish bar, Mr. Denys
Scully, who about thirty years ago compiled a trea-
tise on the penal laws, once or twice successfully
prosecuted as a seditious libel, and which has
served as the brief of the Roman Catholic agitators
ever since. Mr. Scully also had, we believe, the ho-
nour to be nearly connected with Ireland's greatest
poet, Mr. Moore. According to all accounts, the
murdered gentleman was an amiable man, who as-
serted the rights of property and no more, and as-
serted these moderately, and rather with a view to the
moral improvements of his tenantry than to any pecu-
niary gain ; he sought, it is said, to clear his estate of
"bad characters," an effort which every landlord owes
to the country, but which, it will be remembered, was
furiously denounced in the cases of Lords Lorton,
Brandon, and other noblemen and gentlemen who
have exerted themselves for the improvement of Ireland
The truth is, that the Roman Catholic clergy and
others hare, for political and sectarian purposes,
laboured to establish the doctrine, that in any dispute
between landlord and tenant the landlord must be
always in the wrong—a doctrine which the ignorant
tenant will not be the last to receive, or the slowest
to act upon, through those conspiracies which the
priests, for the advancement of another branch of their
political and sectarian scheme have acquired and pro-
moted. The Protestant clergy and gentry were the
first victims ; but a war of poverty against wealth, or-
ganised and armed in conspiracy, would soon cease to
notice political or religious distinctions.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY,

NEW COURT.

ROBBERY AT A FIGHT.—An athletic, large whis-
kered fellow, named Thomas Taylor, was indicted for
stealing, on the 29th of November, six pounds of beef
and part of a hare, from the larder of James Belcher.
It appeared that the prosecutor keeps the Berkeley
Arms public-house, at Cranbrook, Middlesex, and
that, on the morning of Tuesday last, a coach and a
van loaded with patrons of the " ring," and a miscel-
cellaneous collection of members of the " swell mob"
and the " fancy," did him the honour of stopping at
his door for refreshment, on the way to a "mill" that
was to come off that day on the Bath road. The gen-
tlemen alighted, and proceeded en masse to the bar,
where the attention of the prosecutor was soon en-
tirely occupied in supplying them with liquor ; while
so engaged, some of them, in the most daring manner,
fastened the unfortunate Boniface into his own bar,
whileltardre,
another part of the gang made prisoners of the
servants in the kitchen. They then proceeded to the

The COMMON SERGEANT, in summing up,
the
clear case of larceny had been made out, anup said
whole gang been taken up they would all have been
equally guilty.
The Jury convicted the prisoner.
It appeared that he was well known as an old
offender. He addressed the Court with great vehe-
mence, and not without plausibility, complaining bit-
terly of the hardship of his being picked out from
among all the others for prosecution. His previous
character, however, was too much for any protesta-.
tions to get over, and he was sentenced to seven. years
transportation.—The prisoner was removed from the
bar, loudly protesting that he had been hardly dealt
with.
