HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The House met at a quarter to four o'clock.
At four o'clock, the Usher of the Black Rod appeared
at the bar, and summoned the members to attend at the
House of Lords to hear the Royal assent given, by com-
mission, to a number of public and private bills.

NEW WRIT FOR HARWICH.
Sir J. TROLLOPE moved that a new writ be issued for
Harwich, in the place of Mr. Peacock, unseated on petition.
Sir DE LACY EVANS expressed a hope that the motion
would not be pressed, as he intended to give notice of a
motion for a commission of inquiry, and also that the
Attorney-General be directed to prosecute certain parties
for bribery.
Sir G. GREY said the motion fora new writ could not
be made unless seven days' notice were given.
After a few words from Mr. Headlam,
Lord JcoliN Russia, suggested that the motion be ad•

journed, to give time for evidence to be laid before the
House.
After some further remarks, the House divided. For
the adjournment, 177 ; against it, 116—majority, 61.
The motion was then adjourned until the 23rd inst.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply to a
question from Mr. Apsley Pellatt, said that a clause would
be inserted in the Income Tax Bill for the purpose of
allowing sums, paid for Life Assurances or Deferred An-
nuities, either by husband or wife, or both, to be de-
ducted from amount of annual income.
On the motion that the Speaker leave the Chair for
going into Committee of Ways and Means, Mr. E. BALL
said, it had been stated that an agent of the party now in
power made a promise not to impose the Income•tas
upon Ireland if certain such members would assist that
party in turning out the Government of Lord Derby
He begged to ask the member for Westminster whether
this was true or not.

Mr. MAGAN would have great pleasure in answering
the question if it was put upon the paper and in the pro'
per way. He might. however, tell Mr. Ball that there
was not the slightest foundation for a single word he had
stated.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL begged also to add that no such
promise had been made, or even thought of.
Lord A. VANE thought that Mr. Magan ought to state
the grounds upon which he had stated that such a promise
had been made, as Mr. Ball had called his attention to it'
Lord J. RUSSELL begged again to state, that the pre-
sent Government had never made any such promise, t°
his knowledge.

Mr. MOORE would ask Mr. llayter if there. was atlY
truth in the reports that he had made any such overtures?
Mr. HAYTER said that he never was authorized by all
person, or body of persons, to make any such promise 05
the one referred to, and he had most certainly never done
so. He denied any knowledge of the transaction.
After some further discussion, the subject dropped.

_
ADJOURNED DEBATE.
The house then went into a Committee of Ways and
Means, and the adjourned debate was resumed by Mr. fl"
PALMER.

Mr. PALMER moved an amendment intended to autho•
rise a deduction to be made from the gross income derived
from land and houses, for expense of repairs and manage'
ment. These expenses the Chancellor of the Exchequer
had estimated at 16 per cent.- but Mr. Palmer would be
content with a smaller deduction.
Mr. ALcocx advocated the extension of the income taxi
and the repeal of all duties upon articles of daily con'
suraption.

Mr. W. MILES considered that the landed interest had
not been treated so well as the other classes in the Budget;
he therefore supported the amendment.
Captain SCOBELL being convinced that incomes from
real property were practically charged a higher rate than
precarious incomes, by the language of Mr. Gladstone,
would support the budget.
Mr. PHILIPS opposed the amendment.
Mr. IlEywoßTrt was in favour of direct taxation.
Mr. BIRCH was in favour of the amendment.
Mr. AGLIONBY thought the amendment deserved the
best attention of Government.

Colonel HARCOURT, Mr. DRUMNIONDiand Mr. BatOa
opposed the amendment.
Mr. SPOONER supported it.
Sir T. ACKLAND opposed, and Sir w...POLLIFFE stir
ported, the amendment.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, said that tbo
adoption of the amendment would introduce confusion
and difficulties into the working of the tar,. He then
contrasted the Budget of Mr. Disraeli with his own, con'
tending that members who supported that BUdget were at
the present time opposing measures they approved
of last December, and that those who were about to sup'
port the amendment at present before the house, were
going to give a vote diametrically opposite to the one
they gave on Mcnday night last against the Government
measures. The motion of last Monday relieved trades at
the expense of land ; the amendment to-night was 0,
relieve the land at the expense of trades.—(Cheers and
counter cheers.)
MR. DISRAELL entered into a vindication of his polie)',
and traced the existence of the amendment to the adcols'
sions of Mr. Gladstone himself, stating that the amend:
meat was entirely- founded upon those admissions, and
recommendations of the First Lord of the Admiralty.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL asserted that the policy of Ilr'
Disraeli was continually shifting and changing about. ga
called upon the house to support the proposition of the
Government.
Lord J. MANNERS) amid cries for a divison, supported
the amendment.
The house then divided.
