Nothing of interest occurred in Parliament previ-
Gus to adjournment. Upon the motion for going in
to committee the assessed taxes, Mr.. D. Israeli
moved a resolution of which he had previously CIV
en- notice, that in any relief granted by adjustment
of taxation, that due regard should be paid to the
depressed condition of the agricultural interest. He
commented with severity on the course pursued by
the government during the session with reference
the agricultural interest, by refusing TO relieve the
distress they acknow lodged to exist disappointing
the hopes the farmers had entertained from express
sons in the royal speech. He intimaed before he
down. that he would agree to the repeal of the wild
dow tax, but would oppose to the utmost the impo-
received with loud cheers from the Protectionsts.
Mr.. Latouchere replied, and argued that the relief
afforded the agricultural classes by the repeal of the
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,
that would be given by the repeal of the income tax
as recommended by Mr.. Herrier.

produced in the country by those motions which,
