Correspondence OF The Tribune
LONDON, Tuesday, AphlS
The most interesting item by this steamer ia
the debate upon the Income Tax on Monday
evening April T. Mr.. Herres moved the follow.
ing resolution;
"That it is the opinion of this House that the
respectiye duties In Great Britain Gu PrVesS
arising from property, professions trades ana
the stamp duties In Ireland, granted by Two acts
passed in the sixth year Of her present Majesty,
and which have been continued and amended by
several subsequent acts, were granted Tor limited
periods and 10 meet temporary exigences; that
"A is highly expedient TO adhere 70 the declared
Intentions Of Parliament when these duties were
granted and continued; and, in order to secure
heir speediest practicable cessation 10 limit the
renewal Of any portion Of them 70 such an amount
as may be sufficient, in the existing state of the
public revenue, provide for the expenditure
sanctioned by Parliament, and for the due main
tenance Of public credit"
He supported this motion in a long speech in
which he declared that it was the maadmlnls'
tYation of the Wings previous to ls4l, that had
made the income tax necessary, which Sir Robert
Peel proposed to meet temporary emergency,
and that in his hands the result had been not only
10 make up for the deficiencies Of his predeces-
reduction OF the tax not on the ground OF policy
but upon that Of good faith with the country, for
it was well understood to be a temporary tax
when il was im posed. He went into an estimate
to show that there was opportunity for the re-
duction OF two sevenths Of the tax, and contended
that the remission of Il, 10000 Of income tax
would be a greater relief than the removal Of the
window tax.
Mr.. Herries was answered at greater length by
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who reconciled
his former opposition to and present support OF
tho income tax, by saying that he then ilS42)
stated that if an alteration were made in the du-
ties on corn, &c, he should be ready to vote for
direct taxation, and even for the income tax
For the very same reason he now proposed e re-
newal Of that tax. He had never given occasion
for the idea that he considered 1t permanent
thing; only he agreed with Sir Robert Peel that
any modification was almost impossible, certainly
impracticable.
Tho Chancellor then went into rapid review
OF the various taxes which Mr.. Herres and the
Protectonists proposed to reduce, the paper duty,
the malt duty, &c. and argued how much more
directly disastrous to the country such measures
would be. He concluded by calling upon the
House not to vote permanent income tax, but
AJAX for years, and after very long speech very
well received, he sat down amid long cheers
There was no other important speaking and Mr..
Herries' motion was lost by IS mso rity against
h-279 to 800
The Earl Of Carlisle lord MorPethl always
ready TO say word for the oppressed, has intro
duced the Apprentices and Servants Bill for the
more efIectual Punishment o, Cruelty on the part
of Masters and Mistresses, suggested by the
recent Sloane case
There are later advices from the Cape Of Good
Hope The forts of Cox aud White had received
assistance both in troops and ammunition, which
will prove of immense advantage in future opera
tons Upon the march Of the colonial army
through the enemys country 10 their appointed
destination they met with some resistance from
the X Airs, but few shells soon bailed all oppo'
sition. and they were allowed to proceed almost
without further molestation.
From FRANCE we have little news. There are
constantly fresh reports OF new Ministerial como1'
nations There is a rumor today, not without
probability, that three warm personal friends of
the President-Baroche, Fould and Absttuci-
would take office. There is more confidence than
there was last week. Several Socialists, who had
insulted the President, have been convicted The
Assembly has lost hold upon general sympathy
for its apathy toward the laboring classes.
Cen Bedeaua letter 70 Marshal Bugeaud be-
gins to excite attention as it is stated that the
former has made important omissions. In fact,
the Constitutional publishes an extract from
Marshal Bugesuds letter, giving the lie to Gen
Bedesu's statement that his conduct on the Boule
wards had been approved by the Marshal.
Accounts from Bordeaux state that the market
is overstocked with brandy. Nothing new in the
Assembly.
From GERMANY, we hear that there is great
excitement in Vienna and Munich at the decision
OF Prussia to complete the Frankfort diet. Han

From Holstein the news is not agreeable. The
panes wish TO send the Danish officers with the
Holstein troops, which the Duchy contributes TO
the Germsnic federal army. But the Austrian
and Prussisn Commissioners declare that none
but Germans can be put in command. cabinet
