The financial statement Of the Prime Minister,
submitted 10 Parliament and the country Just one
week agu contains a proposition to take ore shil-
ling oat Of every pouad from Incomes over one hun
dred and fifty pounds per snnum. This has been
me, by the strongest opposition Wings and Con.
,ervatives are almost unanimous in condemuiug
the measure The whole Kingdom is aroused on
the subject. and increased taxation upon incomes
is vehemently condemned. The position OF Minis
tiers is certainly critical one. Even their own or
gans are opposed 20 this measure. The inhuehuS
Times saws truly that one more ounce added 10 me
weight on the camels back will make him tai snd
upset the whole load. This is very significant
+ remark as spilled 10 the heavily taxed people o.
Great Britain The Ministerial Globe and the Cab
met Chronicle also oppose this tax. Meetings are
called in various parts OF the country by the most
prominent citizens for the purpose OF protesting en-
\ mGsse against the Premers tax bill When the
subject Is sgsin brought forward in Parliament
Ministers will require every vote to sustain them
Toe downfall Of the Russell dynasty and the return
to power Of the Peel party with new life would not
be an unexpected event

Government, relative to the steamer W sshingions
