From  lieved it to be hopeless to expect  Mr. W. WILLIAMs said that the taxation of the country was thrown upon the poor and the middle classes of the population, which was an unfair shifting of the burden from the  3. FIELDS  The CHANCELLOR jrO the EXCHEQUER said he had no doubt the thinness of the house was to be attributed to the fact, that the English people were essentially a business people, and as there was no important business of a practical nature on the paper, it was not very surprising that the house was not very full. The right hon. gentleman contended that it would be absurd to agree to an abstract proposition like the one before them, and if the hon member thought his principle good, he should come down to the house prepared with a tax on property to place before the house for its consideration. lie hoped that under these circumstances the hon. member would not think it necessary to press his motion to a division, but he must meet it with " the previous  question.." Mr. HUME contended that the taxation of the country pressed most unequally, and he would say unfairly on the industry as compared with the aristocracy of the kingdom. Property, he said, monopolised the power of legislation to itself, and in its legislation it took care to exempt property from taxation.  Mr. GOULBURN could not vote for a resolution which bore so manifestly on the very face of it a positive absurdity, for it asserted that to tax all property, real and personal, would enhance the value of all property. The right hon. gentleman contended that it was far more beneficial to the public to take taxes from capital in its used state instead of taxing the  capital itself as property, and thus preventig it from being diffused with such utility in giving employment to all the middle and working classes of society. Mr. WAKLEY complained that during the discussion of a question of such importance there should have been only 38 members in the house at one time, 37 at another, and 36 at another period of the evening, and that throughout the discussion the leaders on both sides of the house were absent. He supported the motion.  Colonel SIBTHORP said if anything could make him believe that there would be a general election in a short time, which he feared he could not bring himself to hope for, it would be the motion brought forward by the hon. member for Birmingham, a motion which he should certainly oppose. Mr. M. PHILIPS suggested to the hon. member for Birmingham to withdraw his motion, and bring it forward in a house more full, and, of course, more capable of discussing so important a measure with advantage. If, however, he persevered he should vote with him. General JOHNSON advised the hon. member for Birmingham to divide the house by all means on the question.  Mr. SCHOLEFIELD replied, and on a divisio. n the previous question was carried by a majority of 40 to 27.
