printing trade, complaining of the establishment of a dic-
tatorship of taste, at Marlborough House.
Sir J. TROLLOPE brought up the report of the Com-
mittee of Selection, appointing a committee to inquire
into the circumstances of the prosecution of the petition
against the last return for Berwick-on-Tweed. The com-
mittee are Mr. Edwin Lascelles, Chairman, Mr. Mitchell,
Sir F. Thesiger, Mr. C. W. Howard, Mr. AdderleY, Mr.
Raikes Currie, Lord Montague, and Mr. W. Grahame.
Mr. DISRAELI, alluding to the departure of the Rug'
sian Ambassador, Prince Menschikoff, from Constanti-
nople, inquired whether her Majesty's Government had
issued directions to the British Admiral at Malta to pro-
ceed with the British fleet to the Dardanelles ?
Lord J. RUSSELL, in reply, said that in the present
state of the relations between Russia and Turkey, ,he
should decline answering the question, but it was quite
competent for the right hon. gentleman to make a motion
upon the subject.
The House then went into Committee on the Income
Tax Bill.

On the 31st clause, Mr. SPOONER moved a proviso, to
the effect that no tenant should be compelled to Pe
arrears of Income-tax due by any former tenant, or 0
deduct out of his rent such arrears,

The CHANCELLOR of the ExcHEQVER opposed:the PO;
viso on a varietr of grounds,—one of which was, that "
was unnecessary. _

C 1 Pot
After some iscussion, the Committee divided•
the proviso, 69 ; against, 145 ; majority against, iv'
The proviso was consequently rejected, and the clause
agreed to.
On clause 33, Mr. LOCKHART proposed an amendment
that allowance and deductions be made for all rate on len'
in Scotland, which are payable by the landlord.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed the
amendment.

For the amendment, 42 ; against it, 101 ; majority
against it, 59.

-The amendment was rejected, and the clause agreed tO'
Several other clauses were agreed to.
The clauses having been gone through, the commit)!
reverted to the clauses in the bill relative to Ireland, whie
had been postponed, when
The CHANCELLOR of the EX.CHEQUER, at some length;
described the effect of a series of clauses which be intended
to substitute for those postponed. The principal alter
tion was, that the assessment for the income.tax show':
be made upon the immediate lessor. He suggested 00
the bill should be reprinted with these clauses, and the
discussions upon them be taken upon the third reading,
rrhe Lord NAAS warmly opposed the proposition. --
clauses of the right hon. gentleman involved a total alto'
ration of this bill, inasmuch as they proposed a new mule
of assessment.

After a long discussion, the clauses were brought
and the bill was ordered to be recommitted to Thursdal.
Mr. BLACKETT moved three new clauses, having rela'
tion to deductions for losses and bad debts.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could not assent
to the clauses, as they departed from the principle uP°'
which the profits were computed.
After a lengthened debate, the clauses were withdraid'
Mr. J. BALL also proposed a clause, but on its beta
opposed by the Government, it was withdrawn.
The House then went into committee on the Customs
t
Bill, when only the unopposed clauses were taken, bat
there was considerable eiscussion upon those relating to
duties upon tea.

Report ordered to be brought up to-day (Tuesday).
The other orders of the day were then disposed of, all
the House adjourned at ten minutes to two.

FUNDS, STOCK, AND SHARE MARKET,

English Securities have declined, on the positive announce'
ment of Prince Menschikoff's departure from Constantinople'
there is little doing, operators being cautious. The Rails
Market, especially for lighter descriptions, has been very
guid, the uncertainty on the Eastern Question greatly hinderol:
business. Continuations are somewhat lighter. Gold, Land'
and Bank descriptions rather firmly supported. A report
discovery of gold on the British American Land PropertP
caused some excitement in those shares. Foreign Stocks, in•
fluenced by the Turkish news, close at a decline.
