The Seditious and Blasphemous Libels' Bill was
read a third time yesterday aid passed ; after
which, 11.0 CHANCELLOR of Alt EXCHEQUER mowed
that the House do adjourn on its rising, to TLurs-
day next, the 30th instant: and now having com-
pleted a series of enactments, which are compe-
tent to change the character of the people of Great
Britain, and to hold the most high-spirited and
fiercest nations, as it were, in chains, the Ministers
will less disturbedly take up a buSjcct next in im-
portance; without which, in short, neither they,
nor any other set of men, can or could be Ministers
for more than a day—we mean the Finances of
this extended Empire. Our ItLat:ers will do Iss
the justice to acknowledge, that more than two
months before the commencement of the present

Session of Parliament, THE STA-rt.:swim affirmed,
that the present 31inistcrs, if they remained in
office, would propose II Property TUX of from fifteen
to twenty per cent. We hod no doubt of the
circumstance ; for, in candour, we must say, that
there is nothing so likely to appease that irritation
on the one hand, and that alarm on the other.
which pervade the whole community, and whicii
have arisen to a height never equalled before, from
the circumstance of the diminished foreign trade
having impoverished so many, and from the iogi-
nuity of artists having been puttied on by cue-
sive taxation, to the discovery and multiplicat,
of machinery, in order to lessen the demsual
human labour. These cantles united, have place I
the rich and the poor in such opposite, such Inv:-
thous, and hostile pobilloos, that sosnathiu:; . J. .
clueing in Great Britain what an Agrarian lin-
produced in Rome, ha.; become absolutely twee,
sans to be done, without leis of time. The wealthy
!andliolder, and the rich capitulist, are alike
'lido of the urgency of some expedient of this kind
being adopted. They arc convinced that the State
cannot move on, no, nor stand still under the system
which an extravagant and long continued misrule
has introduced, and which at once insults huniu-
nity and shocks common sense. An idea like
twenty or thirty years ago, would have been
garded as the reverie of a madman. 'the erten of
Ministers, and the consequent misfortunes of the
people, have, however, rendered the project, in
whatever garb it may be dressed, indispensible.
A thousand NECKAR* and Monsieur de Cett.oxrces,
and ten thousand Perris and VANSITTAItra, would
be unable to avoid the painful, the hnmiliating,
the now dreaded result. Taxation has done its
I best, has done its worst : like the alehymist's arc,
' it has extracted all the estence from the substance,
and left a raput morlunns behind. It has reduced
all to nothing, and "er nihilo *did fit." That
portion of our sapient country gentlemen, who re-
present us in Parliament, will now consent, after •
few expressions of reluctance, to the scheme, on
being tzld in the hackneyed phraseology, that it
is good and wise to " give a part to save the
rest;" to save the whole will, perhaps, do better
with some of them, and especially with the ma-
jority of these gentlemen who come over the
Irish Channel from Galway, and other equally
or more distant places, to make good laws for
' their beloved brethren, the English. Now we
will not be so insincere as to my, that we know of
any other device, or believe any can be resorted to
so likely to produce, in • short time, the effect
wished for by the delinquents of the State, and by
those whom their delinquencies have enriched, by
Corn Laws, Ike., at the expense and ruin of minium
of others, more valuable and more useful subjects.
And though we do not think that every Minister
' Great Britain has been abused with, since that of
the Marquis of Bocutsonnx, has deserved Oen-
, 'ars; yet we must admit, that a tax like this bids
kir to give the present men a portion of added life.
It may be thought improper and premature to rea-
son more on what has not, at present, an existettee
That the thing, though not conceived in the brain
of our poor CiIANCILLOR of the &viaticum, bas
nevertbeku made its way there, we have little
'doubt. How our wise. men will bring forth the
bending, we know not ; the example of !limeys's
pistachios me Mat liWe um to him ; be visit
