Sir C. Napier has given notice that in coin_ ( mittee on the navy estimates he will br"l u the notice of the h -ruse Sir R.. Peel's recent at Stafford and Tamworth. For to-morrow isepches day) there are no very ur2ent motions, but the debate on Mr. Gladstone's amendment will probably extend over that evening. Mt. Thomas Duticombe will ell attention to the grievsnees of the Iran 1 Transport Corp,, and Mr. H. Ingram w.ll m tve for a s:lect c-o-ninitte- to inqu re into the present Incthod of c:ilEcting and assessing the revenue of the country, and to rept )rt any improve.. ment ,hey may recoil:n, nd toit, depart ricot of th public service. For W does 'ay th • orders are_ the sec nd rca hug of the E desiasticat Corporat :0 ,a Bill, the second r ading of the imprisonment for Los bt Bil', the ce onding reading of the Grand Juries Act (1856) Amendment B 11, the second reading of Sir J. Pakington's Educati tn and a etrnmatee on Sir rd N-r lu:rye's Industrial School; Bill. On Sir John Pakington's Education Bill _ Mr. Hen'ey will move as an amendment that it be read a second time upon that dry six months. On Thursday Mr. Evart will a.k leave to bring in a bill to attolish punishmfnt in all cases except tretson and murder, and to assimilate the law _imposing capital punishment in Scotland to that of England, and Mr. Muntz will move the following resolutions :—" That the collection of a property tax under the existing law is univei sally admitted to bear most uneqUivocally on the parti, a who pay it. That all faxes which bear unequally must be unjust and oppressive, and it is the bounden duty of the representatives of the people to remedy such inequality as much as the circtmstances will admit. That to defer the application sof a practical remedy under the pretence that it would net be a perfect one applicaltle to every individual case, is in truth only to add insult to injustice. That such admitted inequality would be greatly alleviated if a property tax was impnsed upon the owners of different cla'ses of income, capitalised according to the relative value of the subject from which the income is de. rived. That the abstract justice of such principles cannot be denied, and the details for carrying it into practical operation would be very simple. That among other tables of classiffeation which may be suggested the following would be equitable, and would undoubtedly relieve the people from a great portion of the inequality, injustice, and oppression inflicted upon them by the present mode—lncomes arising from laud, funds, rents, mortgages, tithes, and shares, capitalised at twenty-five years' purchase ; incomes from house property capitalised at fifteen year' purcnase ; incomes from commerce and trade capitalised at ten years' purchase ; incomes from professions capitalised at five years' purchase. There are no orders on the paper for Friday at present ; but the Chancellor of the Exchequer will, no doubt, move to go into committee of supply.
