Majestyi ana which have been continued and
amended BY several subsequent acts, were granted
for limited periods, and to meet temporary exigen-
cies; that it is highly expedient to adhere to the
declared intentions Of Parliament when these du-
ties were granted and continued; and, in order to
secure their speedest practicable cessation to limit
the renewal OF any portion of them to such an
amount as may be sufficient, in the existing state
oil the public revenue, to provide for the expendi-
ture sanctioned by Parliament, and for the due
maintenance Of public credit. .I
The Right Hon. gentleman entered at great
length into the financial history of the country du
ring the last ten years, and explained the reasons
which had induced Sir Robert Peel to propose the
imposition Of an income-tax in 1s42. He then pro-
ceeded to quote at great length from the speeches
Of Lord John Russe II, Sir F. Barring, Lord How
ick, Mr.. Labourchere, and Sir Charles Wood,
against the imposition Of the income-tax when pro.
posed by Sir Robert Peel and called upon them to
explain the reasons which had induced them to
change their opinions.
The Chancellor Of the Exchequer replied that in
lo45 the income tax had been renewed, not in con-
Junction with, but as substitute for, import du-
ties and as the basis Of the great experiment of the
free trade. He, therefore, followed the example of
Sir Il. Peei-proposed its renewal for three years,
In order that they might continue and carry out
free trade principles. He denied that he intended
to make it permanent tax, but he would rather
see 1T permanent than consent to re-imposition Of
the duties corn.
MIR. F. Peel supported the re-mposton of the
income tax for the purpose of carrying out the
principles Of free trade; the proposition of the
member for Stamford was a retrograde step.

Death of IL UPassatore.-The celebrated brigand
Passatore-regarded, however, by many as rebel
to bad government rather than a robber-has been
killed at last. Passatore was the man, who with
sixty followers, took possession of the theatre at
Forlinpopo and forced the gensdarnses and the
people to sit still, while they plaged the houses.

managed In that country if we were to hear of the
bngand chief being still alive and well, and start
ling the word with some new exploits in some
other district of the peninsula.
We find in other Italian papers the following
account of one of Passatore's last memorable
deeds:
:" On the 10Th, being ST. Joseph's Festival, he
suddenly appeared in the public square of Prada
in the diocesis Of Faenza, where the inhabitants
were assembled and preparing to go to church.
