TAX IN 1816.

The upsetting of the Income-tax in • 1816 was a
measure which was carried by the sturdy, strenuous,
and unflinching conduct of the great towns and bo-
roughs of the United Kingdom,. in assailing the
House. with their unceasing and numerously-signed
petitions, and by the bold and determined opposition
within its walls. Among those who figure promi-
nently at this period, Mr. (now Lord) Brougham, ex-
erted his mos vehement powers towards the over-
throwal of this obnoxious tax ; he was the earliest.in
attacking it with his invincible and peculiar ardour,
nor did he finally abandon the prosecution of it till,
even after its abrogation," he had satisfied"himself that
eve 7 paper, which was blotted by the disclosure of
men s private - affairs, and transactions, was either
burned,- torn up, or erased: This last interesting trait
in the doWnfal of the measure we shall adduce, and
then add various extracts from speeches `which we
have gathered together by glancing over the regis-
ters of the Cominons House for the year 1818, when
the debates on the subject were strongest, and the
measure was finally ejected.
The fate of these Property and Income-tax Re-
turns
on the final termination of the oppressive Act,
was thus :—On the 30th of May, Mr. Brougham
asked what steps had been taken for collecting the
papers for the purpose of destroying them. The
Chancellor of the Exchequer—" 'here is no wish to
preserve the returns alluded to, and it .W.a.S proposed
to erase the names of individuals from all returns.
The returns would themselves not be entirely re-
turned, as it was necessary to preserve an account of
the sums contributed by different classes." Mr.
Brougham—" I have to express my doubt at this
mode of erasure : I think the burning of the papers
would be much better, and there is a public officer,
not in Feat estimation, whose assistance for this pur-
pose might be very advantageously called in."
PUBLICATION OF MEN'S PRIVATE AFFAIRS.—A
curious fact occurred while the Act was in force,
showing how subject the petitioners were to have
their concerns laid open to a train of inspectors and
spies. A very respectable person, a ship-broker, had
occasion to purchase an article at a cheesemongers,
which he received wrapped up in a paper that proved
to be, to his no small astonishment, the return of one
of his friends and neighbours to the Commissioners of
the Income-tax. A call was made by him on the
gentleman to whom he stated the circumstance and
they both called on the cheesemonger. The trades-
man told them he had lately bought a great deal of
waste paper of the same kind, and they found upon
further inquiry that the paper in question had been
exposed to sale by the Commissioners, and consisted
of the whole returns of what was commonly called
their jurisdiction, but which was really their inquisi-
tion. Thus it appeared that the private affairs of all
persons had been exposed, not only to .the Commis-
, siorers, but to the world, by their returns being ex-
posed to sale as waste paper.
CASE or OrrussioN.—The following case, one

lof frequent occurrence, appeared in that of a poor
widow woman, who had the usual difficulty in ob-
taining the proper deductions, which was at the time
a universal subject of complaint. This poor woman
was proprietor of a house of 121. per annum, which
was the greater part of her income. For this sum
she had been assessed, and though she had made re-
peated applications to the Commissioners to have the
deductions which the Act authorised in cases like
hers, she could obtain no redress. She was obliged
to pay for five years, and had contributed out of this
poor pittance 6/. to Government, before her case was
attended to. Cases of such low assessment of course
will not occur under the present scale of the Income-
tax, but similar sufferings will occur plentifully a
grade or two higher.
AN IRISH RETURN TO THE COMMISSIONERS.—The
following whimsical return was made against the tax,
as stated by Mr. Freemantle, in 1816, in the House,
to an assessor in the county of Cork in this way :
" Take notice, I have cut the throats of all my horses
—I have At ot all my dogs—l have burned all my car-
riages—I have shut up all my windows—l have dis-
missed all my servants, except my wife—and there-
fore I conceive that I cannot be liable to any assess-
ment whatever."

Sir James Mackintosh said in debate—" Petitions
pouring in from all parts of the country, universally
agreed in describing the tax as the most unequal
imposition ever designed by the ingenuity of man.
An Hon. Gentleman had not considered it an oppres-
sive tax. Sir James would ask, was it nothing like
oppression to drag the tradesman before Commis-
sioners, to whom he was compelled to disclose his
most secret affairs, and having done so, to submit to
the exercise of their inquisitorial authority, however
unjust their decision, from which there was no appeal."
Mr. Lushington, who spoke in favour of this
tax, alleged that it would reach affluence in the
hands of avarice, and to make use of an observation
he had seen before, " it reached those who lived like
beggars, and made them pay like gentlemen."
Mr. Lambton said that "he need not himself recom-
mend that to the Government, which they had tried so
long on the people of the country—profuse bleeding.
Whether the lancet or thd leech would do best for this
purpose, he did not know ; but possibly they would
be able to obtain satisfactory information on this
point from many of the commissioners of this very tax."
" I have been informed," said Mr. Newman, in
debate, " that in some parts of the country the prisons
are so much crowded with farmers, confined for in-
ability to pay this tax, that some of the gaolers had
refused to take any more for lack of room."
"As long," remarked Mr. Brougham' " as the tax
is in existence, and the machine can be screwed up,
we are not safe from its effects; and the country
should know, that if it were not now entirely de-
stroyed, they could not hope for its destruction." "It
was too easy a means," be continued, "of gratifying
the Government passion for expense—by an infini-
tesimal turn of the screw, its produce might be
raised or diminished to meet any demand. By it
might be raised 1001., or fourteen millions. It was
an engine which should not be left at the disposal of
extravagant ministers or extravagant princes."
The farmers of Aylesbury had their opposition to
the tax spiritedly advocated by Lord Nugent. " Sir,"
said he, addressing the. Speaker, ." these petitioners
are a class of men generally who suffer the most
severely from the operation of thig tax. They are not
merchants. They are not, manufacturers. They are
in general graziers and dairk 'farmers. They inform
me that at this time they can neither 'make their
rents nor stock their fitting. They hold in their
hands highly valuahle old grass lands, at a very high
rent, and are obliged to stock those pastures with a
very expensive sort of stock. This state of things
cannot and will not last. The yeomanry of England
will and must resist this odious and profligate system,
by every legal means in their power. They will not
doom their children to want and beggary, themselves
to bankruptcy and a gaol."
Twenty-six petitions, signed by 700 occupiers and
owners of hind in north Devon, stated that " many
of them, in order to meet the payments of the tax,
had been under the necessity of selling their young
cattle to great disadvantage ; and many of them were
now in confinement for debt, from inability to pay."
On the 26th February petitions, from at least forty
of our leading towns and boroughs, were presented
against the tax. Sir Francis Burdett, in presenting
one from Westminster, said the inhabitants protested
against it as an " intolerable grievance." Sir James
Shaw, also, in presenting a petition against the
income-tax, from the inhabitants of the Ward of
Bread-street, stated, that " though they had sup-
ported his Majesty's Government for the last twenty-
five years they were now unanimous in their opposi-
tion to this tax."

Sir Francis Burdett, in the debate of February 27, I
speaking on this tax, said, " It was a proceeding like
this which caused the rebellion in the time of Charles
the First. That Monarch always enforced his exac-
tions under the plea of necessity, and the most in-
tolerable burdens had been imposed on the people,
under the specious cloak of necessity. The land-tax
was one of these; and the property-tax was nothing
but an extended land-tax."

Mr. Brougham' on the 22d of February, rose with
a petition in the House of Commons, spoken of in
Hansard- as "a petition of enormous size in his arms,"
which was from the large body of the inhabitants of
Clerkenwell, against the income-tax. In fourteen
hours, and no more, 3,278 individuals flocked to sign
this petition.
. _

Mi.. Lambton said, on presenting petitions against
the tax, that these would be followed by numerous
others of the same character, " in order to convince
Ministers that the people of England would not,
among their accumulated distresses, endure the pres-
sure of taxation for the express purpose of supporting
tyrants upon their thrones, whether those tyrants were
the Bourbons of Spain, or the Bourbons of France."
Sir John Newport resisted it, saying, " his own
objection to the tax was to the principles—that it was
unequal and oppressive in its operation—that it granted
power to certain persons, which, in a free country,
should never be granted." _

A speaker in the House, describing the oppressions
which the farmers of Hull had undergone by the in-
fliction of the tax, used the strong expression that
" they had been shorn to the skin."
The petition presented from York against the tax
reached in length from the body of the House to
Westminster Hall.

The petition from the City of London was signed
by 22,000 of those who had all along before sup-
ported Goi'ernment measures.

The popular voice, as heard and felt in these peti-
tions, was too mighty to be withstood. Opposition
had now reached its topmost pitch, and was ready to
hurl down the landmarks of the realm, if unattended
to. The House was alarmed—the contest within its
walls grew, night by night, fiercer and fiercer, till at
length the country had the proud consummation of
beholding its exertions successful, and the tyrannous
measure repealed.
That day is past, however, and now—Ecce iterum

THE BEARING RElN.—England, where the best
horses and the best drivers are to be found—England
(it is said) is the only country in which that bane of the
horse, the bearing-rein, is used l In France it is not used,
and, as the natural consequence, horses in that country
seldom fall to the ground, or so as to hurt them-
' selves. At the very instant the horse stumbles the
French coachman slackens the rein, that the horse may.
save himself. The dray-horses in London exhibit the
most painful examples of the cruelty of using a tight
bearing•-rein. Whether at work or standing they will
be tinind'in continual torment, tossing their he.adtf;"4ll''
resting the weight of them on the bit, and so drawhig
back the corners of their mouths, as nearly to split the.
ligatures ; at work, instead of going on steadily, they
"bob" their heads, feeling the check at every st2p they
take.

On Sunday, the number of persons -who went by
the Versailles and St. Cloud Railroad to see the Grand
Water Works play amounted to 20,752, and the distance
passed over by the several trains during the day was
894 leagues.
THE REGICIDE MAistA.—Three times in less than
two years Queen Victoria, an inoffensive sovereign, be-
loved by her people, and one may say, liberal, has be-
come the aim of the assassin. We will not recriminate
against the English all that they have said against the
French apropros of the five attempts on Louis Phi-
lippe's life in the space of twelve years. In lieu of
recrimination, let b .th countries mingle their regrets,
and join their efforts to extirpate the horrible mono•
mania of regicide. The people of France and of England
arc a prey—the one to a moral state of suffering unex-
ampled in history ; the latter to misery which surpasses
human resignation. This does not excuse insurrection
or assassination ; but it may explain the apparition of
such a scourge. None but madmen can imagine that a
riot is a revolution, or that any party can derive the
power to govern from an abominable crime. Power in
free countries is no fortress which one can lay hold
of by treachery, and hold out against justice and right.
Regicide has never served as the basis of a durable order
of things. The murderers of Caesar may have had high
placed hearts, but the result showed their want of judg-
trent. The Consular system was consolidated by the
blow they dealt to the Dictator. Ravaillac did not
give France to the Jesuits. The dagger of Louvel
nailed the Bourbons to the throne, which they after-
wards broke by their own folly. There is at once
crime and madness in regicide, even where nations are
given up to despotic power. For where the elements of'
despotism prevail, there will be a despot. Human nature
is made so. Under no Government is a king the only,
or the principal cause of public misfortune. The fiction,
which declares them irresponsible, is more true than
people think. The remedy for popular suffering lies in
the intelligent and progressive reform of a country's
Constitution. Kings are not foes of the people, but aris-
tocracies with or without birth.—Siecle.

. MEMOIR OF.M. SISMONDI.
Some :men appear ,to be born to ,erve as great'
lights on the historical hOrizons of the World ; as it
expressly to. illuminate, by the energy of eheir in-
tellect and the lustre of their powers, the dark por-
tions of foregone ages. Such was Niebuhr, when he
annalized Rome in its barbaric periods. Such is
Hallam, coping with the gloomy and cloud-hid me-
dieval ages ; and such undoubtedly was Sismondi,
who, whether among the moral, social, or political
grandeurs of Italy, and its mightier forerunner Rome,
threw the greatness of his thought, and the
sagacities of his understanding, in a manner that no
historian. antecedent to him had done. The death of -
this great writer and noble-hearted man, calls .upon
us to memorialise his name, which to a late posterity
will convey its own dignity and renown.
Sismonde de Sismondi was born at Geneva on the 9th
of May, 1773. His family, originally of Pisa; carried,
according to its various disposals abroad, the name of
Simond in Dauphiny, and Simonde at Geneva, but
finally, after its sojourn in 'Tuscany, after the Gene-
vese revolution, settled the name emphatically into
Sismondi.
It was in the year 1792 that M. de Sismondi quitted
his native town, and came with his family into Eng-
land. On his. return to Geneva in 1794, he was ar-
rested on suspicion, as also his father (a member of
the Government), and both of them were fined by
judgment to lose two-fifths ,of their fortune, and to
suffer a year's detention. At the end of this period
he went to Tuscany,- where, subsequent to the insur-
rection there, he was arrested by the French as an
aristocrat, and afterwards as a Frenchman by the in-:
surgentp, for Geneva was then reunited to France.
Notwithstanding these vicissitudes he was enabled to
return to Geneva in 1800.

The life of M. Sismondi from this period has little
of an active nature connected with it. Enclosed,
within the limits of his learned closet--encircled by
the massy tomes on which night and day the grave
historian was accustomed to feed, storing his mind
with the great features connected with the republics,
dynasties, and religions of the past, Sismondi, from
the age of 27 and upwards, gave himself up. to those
deep researches and examinative processes of thought,
which have tended to enrich the wcrld with some of
the noblest works it possesses.
The Treatise-intitled " Examen de la Constitution
Francaise," was first published as a series of papers
in the consecutive Moniteurs of Afay, 1815, at the
time when the additional Act to the Constitution of
the French Empire was submitted to the vote of the
people. They created at the time no little sensation
from the strength of their reasoning and forcible
manner. These fragments were then collected and
published by Sismondi, who bravely describes himself
in a prefatory note as " tin homme qui n'a jamais
varie daus son amour pour liberte."
The political principles of M. de Sismondi were
thoroughly republican; but he appears to have always
advocated a mixture of aristocracy as necessary to a
free government. Anterior to the events of 1814, he
had constantly evinced, if not a hate or dislike to the
Government of Napoleon, at least a decided indiffe-
rence. But he appeared greatly to have moderated
his opinions after the return of the Emperor from
Elba, for in his "Examen de la Constitution Francaise,"
published- in the May of 1815, he strongly ranged
himself on the side of Napoleon, and pronounced hint
the defender of the national independence. The Em-
peror comprised him in a promotion of Members of
the Legion of -Honour; but Sismondi, nevertheless,
refused this honour, iii a letter ,addressed to the Puke
of Bas' san-o, declaring that he could receive neither
office nor honour.

Sismondi's most magnificent literary labour is un-
doubtedly his " Histoire des. tepubliques italiennes."
In these, his republics, he describes events and eha-
meters in the history of modern Italy with the
genuine feelings of a great and enlightened reasoner,
indignant at the wrongs, the vices, and the.degrada-
tion of the country of his ancestors. He sits in the
rostrum of history, on these occasions, with vast dig-
nity, connecting, in glowing terms, the rise or fall of
letters with the political independence or debasement
of the states in which they flourished or decayed.
The " Historical View of the Literature of the
South of Europe," was translated into English by
Mr. Thomas RoSeoe, in 1823, with the usual ele-
gance and care of that author. This work, abound-
ing with rich histoirettes of the primitive literature
of the Arabians—the tongue and poetry of sunny
Provence—the warbled amours of the 'I roubadours
—the Walloon romances—and the influence of the
majestic Dante on his age—gave it its most extensive
and merited celebrity.
•AL de Sismondi's Review of the Progress of
Religious Opinions during the Nineteenth Century- "
was so general a favourite in this country, at the
time of publication, as well as on the continent, as to
have immediately passed into an English form. :It is

GENERAL DISTREtiv.—WM copy the following' from
Watson and Company's Leeds Circular, a publication contain-
ing generally correct information respecting trade and com-
merce : —" The cry of commercial distress reaches us from all
.quarters, and some of its bitterest notes have lately been heard,
at the meetings of the shopkeepers, both here and at Manches-
ter; such meetings as these held by this dais we never heard
of before, and they betoken a depth of suffering in trade, that,
must nut be disregarded by those who hate the sole power to
mitigate it. If, in the midst of summer, fast approaching the
harvest, with the weather rather favourable than other-
wise, and with an abundance of specie at the Bank of
England, such is the shocking condition of trade, as was
detailed at these meetings, what are we to look for, as
the winter approaches, especially if the harvest should
turn out deficient in quantity (although a great breadth
of wheat was sown), as some, parties begin to fear, from the
of the crops? The fact is, the present :tate of
things was fully predicted by the late Mr. Huskisson in 1830,
who stated, at that time, something to this effect ; that should
the commercial principles then at work, continue .a few years
longer (as they have done) accompanied by a succession of bad
harvests (which has actually been the case), a s ate of things
would, of necessity, follow in this country exactly similar to
what is now passing around us. The old mercantile system,
with its bounties, its prohibitions, and its protections, is fairly
worn out, and can never be revived is this country.
Owing to the heavy rains which fell in the early
part of last week, the Floating Island in Dement Lake his
disappeared. It is generally believed, however, that on the
return of warm dry weather, and the receding to its late level,
the island will again be visible.
