Legislative Debate on the Income
Tax Project.
Lord Brougham and President Grant as Ecoao-
mic Author ties.
TeleGRAms 70 The NEW York HERALD.

PARIS. Dec. q, 1871.
In the National Assembly to-day the subject OF the
proposed income tax was again under discussion.
The Minister OF Finance. NJ Pouyer Quertier, spoke
in opposition to the y~-ateer plan Of the measure,
which he denounced as arbitrary and inquisi-
tOrial."
The speaker cited Lord Brougham and President
Grant In support OF this remark. In the course OF
some alusion TO England the Minister asserted that
''she was only tree trader where there was no
competition"
M. Waloski's proposal for the imposition Of q
general income tax was finally voted upon, and was
rejected by large majority.
THE LIBERTY AND LICENSE" OF THE PRESS TO
BE DEFINED BY GOVERNMENT ACTION.

"the license OF the public journals" proposes TO
increase the strngency Of tue laws and regulations
iol the control OF the press.
1t Is understood that the Minister'S intentions
have ne approval ri the President, ana that the
journals most offending will soon be made to feel
the effect OF the law.

LONDON, Dec. 27-1 r. n.
The noon bulletin from Sandr;ngham TO-DAY re-
parts tnat "His Royal Hlghness the Prince Of
wales passed quiet night. but that convalescence
is retarded by painful affection above the lett hip
accompanied by feverisnness.n
No mquletude Is felt as to the Priuce's condition.
but regret and disappointment at the slowness Of
his recovery are generally expressed.
Hopes had been raised tnat the Prince would be
able 10 60 out before the end OF the holidays, and
preparations for pablo rejoiciugs had been made.
The non.reallzation of these expectations throws
a damper on the festivities OF the season.

THE SOUTH AFRICAN DIAMOND FIELDS.
Our latest accounts represent the squatters of
the South African diamond fields as somewhat
excited in their displeasure at the news of the
to the Cape of Good Hope colony Of England !;
but they will get over this excitement when
they find that there this annexation is fixed
fact and that they caohot help themselves.
But they have another excitement which may
possibly turn out a greater thing than their
diamond fields, and that is the reported dis
coveries of gold in the Transvaal district. In
any event there is field in South Africa for
British enterprise and occupation far more in i
viting than was ever offered in Australia.

, Charter passed during the early part Of the
session, before political or corrupt bargains
can be made or interfere with the measure.


Tho Last Of Our Shakspearian Actors.
We greatly regret to learn that James II.
Hackett, the last of the old school of actors
and managers in this city, lies dangerously i'll
at bis residence in Jamaica, Long Island.
The demise of this veteran comedian would
leave blank in the artistic world
difficult to fill. He has played such
an important part in music and the drama in
this country that we may look upon him as
the chief exponent of either branch of the art
Of public amusements. To him we are in
debted for the visit Of Mario and Grisi to this
country, and to him we must feel CRATE
full for the most magnificent impersona-
ton Of Falstatf ever known on any
stage For nearly forty years his talents have
been devoted to music and the drama in this
his native city, for Mr.. Eackett was born in
what is known now as the First ward Of New
York before the close Of the last century.
Dropsy and q complication Of lung and liver
complaint, the result Of fortnights cold,
have been the causes bringing him to the edge
of the dark river from which no traveller re-
turns. The friendship that existed between
President Lincoln and himself has passed into
history, and it would be impossible at present
to point towards another man in America who
has enjoyed such long and well deserved
popularity. The death of James H. Hackett
will cause q national loss-one that in an
artistic point of view can never be supplied.
