Nothing of interest occurred in Parliament
previous to adjournment Upon the motion for
going into committee on the assessed taxes, Mr..
D'Israeli moved resolution Of which he had
previously given notice, that in any relief granted
by adjustment of taxation, that due regard should
be paid to the depressed condition OF the agri-
cultural interest. He commented with severity
on the course pursued by the government dur
ing the session with reference to the agricul-
tural interests, by refusing to relieve the distress
they acknowledged to exist, disappointing the
hopes the farmers entertained from expressions
in the royal speech. He intimated before he sat
down, that he would agree to the repeal of the
window tax, but would oppose to the utmost
the imposition of any income tax upon farmers
which was received with loud cheers from the
Protectionists Mr.. Latouchere replied, and
argued that the relief afforded the agricultural
classes by the repeal ofthe window tax, and the
modification of the house tax, would be greater
than that which would result from the measures
originally proposed for that object, or that
would be given by the repeal OF the income tax,
as recommended by Mr.. Herrer.
