THE INHABITED HOUSE DUTY.

IT will be seen by the financial statement of the CH O'
CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, which he made at great
length on Friday, that he proposes to double the amount
of duty on inhabited houses, which was levied as a com-
pensation for the abolition of the window duty, and to
reduce the limit of exemption from £2O to £lO a year.
If Mr. DISRAELI has designed it as a measure of retribn.
tion on the town population for their adherence to Free"
trade, he may claim more credit for ingenuity than he i 3
likely to receive of gratitude. His opponents left the
landed, the shipping, and the colonial interests to bear
their burdens as they best could, and the CHANCELLOR
of the EXCHEQUER seems desirous of giving the"'
taste of the same quality, though in doing so he punishes
friends as well as foes. It cannot be denied that in west
cases it will prove an unmitigated hardship, more or
pressive than the window duty for which it is substituted'
and the more grevious, because the reduction of the malt
duty, which we have commented on in another article, is
altogether unnecessary, and creates solely the necessity for
.t
this imposition. It is also to be condemned,
85 1
1,• h .
helps to perpetuate a system of direct taxation, "rale--
acknowledged to be unjust in principle, because of the
exemptions which are inevitable ; and we have no doubt
that, before it receives the sanction of the legislature, it

will meet with strenuous opposition even from the Free-
traders, who, having been foremost in advocating this
system, may see the evil of it, from the adroit manner in
which Mr. DISRAELI has brought it home to themselves.

LONDON, LIVERPOOL, AND NORTH Ala'
RICAN SCREW STEAM-SHIP COMPANY.

(From the Liverpool Mercury.)
We have eiven in another column [see below] a letter"
from Mr. Robert Lamont, one of the promoters of this
e"
e
company, in which he gives certain reasons, which appear
to him to be conclusive, why lie and others should hoc
a charter for running screw steam-ships between Liv
pool and the United States and British America, on m°r„ef
favourable terms than the merchants and shipowners,iis
Liverpool already engaged in these great trades. '—e
arguments appear to us to be altogether fallacious, for tl:..
following reasons :—First, all the companies which ,:
mentions as having received grants from the Government.
and special privileges, were companies formed for the Plirrt
pose of carrying the mails between England and forelg
countries, or the colonies, in much less time than they
had ever been carried before. The carrying of letters aiiiiac
papers is a matter of so much consequence to the Pubtor
that it may very reasonably he made the ground ill
granting special privileges. When4he British and 00 its
American Royal Mail Steam Vmpany entered into I':
first contract with the Governm'ent, the average time e°llnd
sumed on the outward pasee was thirty-five days; a .5
On the homeward voyage wenty-one days. The time,_lB
now eleven or twelve s. It was worth while to VI,
some sacrifice to obt • so great an advantage as t,hi te,s
the time of com unication with the United ota of
a(
and British Ame a, and to obtain similar:saviogis. `',
time in the c munication with the West Inalesc..;
South Americ Africa, Australia, and India. But id
are not aw e of any similar advantage that w!Nufr•
bc likely to •se from granting exclusive privileges to ,
Robert Lamont and his friends. They surely d0ill:0
mean to tell us that they would make the voyage I,,nnuld
time than the existing steamers, or that they —the
confer any special benefit on the public in return for
co
~,
special privileges which they ask for. In the second Plag,r
~a
we do not think such a charter as Mr. Lamont ast'; th
necessary, because we believe that the British and Mrno
American Royal Mail Steam Company, which ba,sered
charter, is better managed than any of the cilotrttert
ies enumerated at the end of Mr. Lamont's ',' that
na is better managed because the proprietors 0! its
----, have a deeper and more vital interest 100

TUESDAY MORNING, DEC. 7, 1852.

THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT,

AT last, in spite of the Whigs, we have got a
tudger worthy of a finance-minister of England.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER of the late
government was precisely the man for his colleagues
and his party. So is his successor. Put CHARLES
11. DOD into one scale, and BENJAMIN DISRAELI

Into the other, and let the men of figures tell the
result. The comparison, however, is scarcely com-
plimentary to the present CHANCELLOR of the
''-XcIiEQuER; for we may fairly appeal to History
to decide whether any financier of any time or
has more thoroughly appreciated and
Performed his duties than Mr. DISRAELI, though
roe do not approve of all his propositions ; and we
bold it to be not the least praise -of the minister
t° say, that be has not gratified the anticipating
curiosity of the public, which expected from his
brilliant powers something very novel and original.
lire DISRAELI has not pretended to work any
rsireeles. He has not coaxed or flattered any class
4 interest. He has not paraded any infallible
Principle, or prescribed any specific nostrum.
Taking things as he finds them—adopting the
rluelple of unrestricted competition, dictated to
11111 as the verdict of the country—he has applied
ituself, with single purpose, to the great considera-
t,4lB of maintaining peace, upholding the honour of
be country, and promoting the welfare of the
11/c°Ple. He has been both bold and cautious. He
slighted the complaints and demands of no
288 of the community. He has favoured none
more than others. He has shown how far he is
4.44 e penny-wisdom and pound-folly, taking for
hie maxim that the efficiency of establishments, and
tot Mere retrenchment in their expenditure, is the
true criterion of economy.
411 our readers are by this time acquainted with
the leading features, if not with the details, of the
the
scheme of the Government. It has been
eir subject of too much curiosity and anxiety—its
ects are too personal—its author is too distin-
iished—to permit the supposition that any one
terested in politics will not carefully peruse the
bStatement of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER.
eknowledging that certain classes have been much
jutlefited, and certain others very considerably in-
bed by the recent policy of the legislature, Mr.
eOI"A.ELI has abstained from granting all that the
It•kiplainants desire, because he believed it to be
1): duty to do his best for the great body of the
4131 e. He entreated, therefore, that the House
tiap'°nlrnons would not judge of his scheme par-
LY, but judge of it as a whole. The complaints
ail the suffering interests have been duly considered,
such concessions have been made as were not
the cIY to interfere with the general system, while
4,,,c°nsuming classes have been materially bene-
te7. The first suffering class which he adverted
tar the Shipping interest. The modification of the
the" upon the mercantile navy of the country,
eabolition of unfair advantages granted to the
pllavy, the repeal of such laws and customs as
4ptie our mercantile marine of the benefits of
ttit;e,c Trade, Mr. DISRAELI proposes as wise, just,
11;4 beneficial measures. The claims of our Colo-
n': have been urgent in proportion to their injuries.
qt: conservative CHANCELLOR of the EXCIIE.-
L4t It
acknowledges the justice of their complaints,
'ewith the commercial principle which he is bound
11,111e417 out, he sees one way only of relieving
to at present. The claims and the relief apply
teat
to be Sugar trade, and the proposal is that sugar,
11:refined, instead of paying duty in its raw
-e'
shall pay the duty after it has been refined,
ke,teason being that foreign raw sugar contains
tit saccharine matter than that of our own cold-
sillcreb When the duty is equal on both, the foreigner
e
let
eet Y has an advantage over the colonist. With
the to the Agricultural classes, the position of
UANc ELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was an
De . •
ItillyelanY difficult one. With their sufferings he
BeopditiYmpathised ; but how to ameliorate their
dNA un, without infringing on the great principle
et-4. he had been obliged to accept, must have
111' most chic anxious inquiry. The conclusion to
liepic has come is that, except by partially re-
ti°3 the farmers under the income-tax, diminish-
latee tax on malt and hops, and otherwise inci-
liee reducing the burdens on that important
tiller: the government cannot at present do any-
-415f.
et
for them.
/ir thus adverting to the suffering interests,
tik. tilsrt
rAti„ AELI proceeded to consider the general
thoe" of the country. Here he had wider scope
gtity tqaPplication of the principle which it was his
ternoua PPly. Carefully, however, and with much
411)114rgilt, he refrained from carrying out the
ration at once to a dangerous extent.
sed the benefit of the people, consumers, he pro-
qt..ll reduction of the malt and hop duties to
kettiealf, thereby incidentally benefiting the do-
;:eteellroducer. A foreign production—become a

To meet all probable deficiencies from the reduc-
tions and expenditure suggested, and from other
sources, it is proposed to include the salaries and
funded property of Ireland in the income tax, and
to increase the house duty from 9d. to Is. 6d., the
amount derivable from the last source being still
less than that derived formerly from the window
duties.

This is but a very meagre outline of the scheme
suggested in a speech which will achieve for its
author a reputation for financial abilities as great
as he possesses throughout Europe for literary and
oratorical powers.
