5/11,—The sehjoct of the imposition of new Isaes,
which last eight created an internists' debase I. the
Haase .f Commons, is one of the first importance to
the country. Notwithstanding the plausible and
glossy 'trammels of Micelle's in fawner of the mea-
sure, the arguments of Mr. TWINE? and Mr.
BROCOMAII, in f f a vigorous retseartsosens,
remained firm and established on a rock of state.

The measure proposed by Ministers was tr esta.
blish a Sinking Fend of live millions, to do which it
wools! be eervesery to impose new lases in the
amount of thre► milliner, which, together with two
millions recess of the revenue oiler the vapenditere
would answer the sem required.
The verities objections to this measere raised tit
the Opposition, had much of weighs and forte in
them. It was reasonably argued, that the nero.s.ify
of maintaining the "Sinking Fond at ire millions was
not such as to jests(' the measure of adding so the!
present dooms of the People by new lases; and in
deed were there su &Amino* necessity of keeping op
sae •inskine Fend to that amount, the 1111.4 4.. FP ought to
be effected rather by an Gni I usg ft. es retrench.
went ie every branch of espe••tttture (which world
iwesease the wens of revenue), than to) let ing new
impositions on the sheerly impoverished People.—
Il.stsnejsititt, however, were in fv.•ur if new tases.l
end oases it veins we Crest pisipsr• nerselr•s 10 pay.
The question hiving c• me to the. decislcn, the nuts•
rat enquiry is. in what manner ate th►.• three mil.
' lions of lases to be imposed? The (11APICILL011 of
the Eientetralk proposes to lay new or additional
tulips ..n wool, i.o malt, tea, entree, &c. This plait
al Mr. VAMITTB it's (if my common aerie. i• ruses•),
is far inferior to see I am srquain•ed with, and which
(if toe sill permit the observations of an humble in.
ilivideal), I sill now esplain.
As it caotiot hot he allowed on ell hands that the
People are pretty well burdened with tears al-
ready, all new impositions should be laid in such a
moon.' as to affect a. little as possible that part of
the People who are trait able In hear it. The plan,
however, proposed I.y Mr V A NSITTA KT, strikes di.
Frosty at the comfort of rite poor, especially in the
article of malt, clutch is least of all consumed by
those who ate best alit. to pay th► tea. Now the
tea which I would utilise, is one which, while it
would abundantly add to the revenue, would creme
hit little, if any, real inconvenience to any ranks of
Englishmen ; certainly none at all to the poorer sort.
Acrd what is leis adonireble tae ? It is equally simple
and easy; and is understood i t three words, " fax
ritc rich." Let us hero • modified Income or Pro.
pert, Tag. commencing at incomes of 10001. per an.
nem ; tax them one percent.-40;101. two per cent.-
30001. three per cent. and let the ratio end at
10 per cont. A tag of this nature would be not
in t►e least oppressive, since it would fall, and
fall lightly too, on those who are well able to pay it,
while the lower orders ..f (h• People world be et•
imp,. It b►hoves well the wisdom of the Legislatures
t• take the hslence into its hands, and throning into
one welt Mr. VASSITTAUT'a plan, and into the other
scale my plan, weigh the probable csitiseqeencts of
each. In Mr. V.'s scale would b. an increase of re.
ensue to the amount of three mittioos, bet access.
partied with an accumulation of distress to the Pets.
ple, ptincipally among the lower orders, the probable
aoissrq f which could be great discontent, and
perhaps popular insurrection.
In my scaly, would be an increase to the Revenue
of an amount so peat as not to b• competed In
three millions, and slier too ei•hoet soy increase to
the distresses of the People, and without the probs.
ble eons.q a of discontent end disorder. What
a glorious comparison! llow lit for the consideration

owing from me as front a tiger reedy to tow him

sip hands in opposition to the ha; but let him

Mr. Reath stated, that this was an application tgl
yr Court by the Pfaintiff, John Christian Cameo,
F.-q. to compel oho Defendant, Anthony Dearth,
Ksq. to compl►te a contract entered into by hint, for
the sale of an estate called Resegill Faint, In the
client, Westmorland. In the year 1814, a cor.
tospontleoce had been carried On between the Da•
frad.ut swA oho Rel. William Barton, the agent for
the Plaintif in the sale of this property, frees which
it appeared that the abstract of the title-deeds had
been given to the Dafendast; sad that the matter
seemed io be regulated to the satisfaction of all
parties. Afterwards, in 1815, the Wooden' re.
fused to fetal the contracts, alleging that it had been
gepresetsied to him that the manor of Reteegill teas to
bp included in the bengal., and that the wale was
tithe fire. That the UMW of Rosegill could sot be
io.luded was evident, forasseech as that manor had
hoot, sold many years sines by the anteaters of Mr.
Caters, to the ancestors of Lord Lends!, ; abd
with respect to the payment of tithe, he endltsteed
that het a mall part of the estate or farm •as lab-
jpet to sech payment, and that it bad been represent-
•.l as in liable, et the time of the agreement.
Mr. Btu., on behalf of the Defendant,contended,
