POLICE OFFICE—SAT OR DAT

Magistrates presiding—The Mayor and Mr. Tabu-teau, R. M.

John Clifford, a railway labourer, was fined 6d.,nnd to pay 6d. costs.

Patrick Hickey, a steeveadore, was charged by awretched looking young woman, a street-walker,named Bridget Morrissey, with having violently as-saulted her, by thumping and kicking her, about theface and body, merely because she would not keephim company during the night. Her face was dread-fully cut and swollen , the effects of the ill usage shereceived from her brutal assailant.

The bench directed the informations of the womanto be taken , and the defendant to be bound in hisown recognizance in a sum of £5, to stand his trialfor the atrocious offence, on Friday.

Margaret.Dunphy, attired in wretched habiliments,was charged by a policeman with stealing straw froma car, in the marketplace at Ballybricken on thatmorning.

Mr. Tabuteau—Whenever a case of this kindconies before me I shall punish it to the utmost ex-tent , let it be ever so trifling. The farmers must beprotected when they come to market.

Informations were taken against the defendant—tobe tried on Friday.

A DISTRAINT.James Kel ly, complainant , Mr. John Wall, James

Lahy and William Griffin (bailiffs), defendants.It appeared from the statement of Mr. Elliott, the

complainant's solicitor, that Mr. Wall seized the pro-perty of Kelly, under a renewal civil bill decree, in-cluding wearing apparel and bedding, not leavingto the value of five pounds behind, contrary to theprovisions of the 11th and 12th Victoria, chap. 28.

On the part of Mr. Wall it was shewn that he leftfour beds nnd several other articles, over the value offive pounds.

The case was dismissed, Mr. Wall undertaking toreturn the wearing apparel.

MONDAY.It was half-past 11 o'clock this morning before any

magistrate attended. Shortly aftar that time MichaelDobbyn , Esq., came on the bench.

One of these unfortunate females who are such apest to the city, was brought forward, and chargedwith being found concealed in the house of a respec-table firm on tlie coal-quay.

James Doherty, street night-watchman, was swornand deposed, that two women informed him on Sun-day night, 11 o'clock , that an improper woman hadgone into house on the quay, through the back en-trance in Chapel-lane. He immediately proceededto the back door,knocked thereat ,when it was openedby a young man who, on being questioned , said nosuch person was there. Doherty insisted there was,and ultimately lugged her out from behind the doorand very soon introduced her to Mr. Caffrey, thevigilant janitor of Reginald's tower, who accommo-dated her with a wooden couch to repose on duringthe remainder of the night.

In answer to questions from the magistrate the ac-cused stated that she was introduced into the houseby one of the young men whom she would not knowagain if she saw him.

Magistrate—Go about your business.The woman , a precious ugly looking specimen of

the sex, then retired from the bar with flying colors.TUESDAY.

Mr. Tabuteau sat on the bench." CASES."

John Foster, an exceedingly well dressed man ,was fined Gd, and costs of court , for being found in-toxicated in the streets on the previous night. '

Thomas Bolger and George Carroll, railway la-bourers, were also fined Cd. each and costs, for asimilar offence.

MEETING OF THE TOWN COUNCIL

On Tuesday pursuant to hand bills, a meeting ofthe Council was held in the small Council chamber,Town Hal l, at which the following members at-tended .—

THOMAS STRANGK , Esq., Mayor, in the chair.Aldermen Silvester Phelan , Richard Walsh ,

Richard Cooke, Owen Carroll, Henry Ridgway, andHenry Davis.

Councillors Sir Benjamin Morris, Michael Dob-byn , John Power, P. K. Reid , Thomus Ptireell , Tho-mas Clarke, Henry Denny, John A. Blake, CaptainNewport , Thomas Murphy, Patrick A. Power,James Egan, John E. Feehan , Henry Gallwey,Andrew Ryan , John Lalor, Pierse Cox, TerenceO'Rielly, and Michael Phelan.

MINUTES AND ROLL.Mr. O'Brien town clerk, called over the roll, after

which he read the minutes of last meeting.DEEP SEA FISHERY.

Captain Newport wished to know if that was theproper time to make an observation relative to a re-,solution of the board—unanimously carried—to havethe evidence taken some years ago, relative to thedeep-sea fishery, printed and circulated among themembers of the Council. That resolution was nevercarried into effect, and he wished to ask the townclerk who it was that cushioned that resolution , andgave it the " go-by" (hear). Such conduct was aninsult to the council, and he wished to know who isto blame (hear) .

Mr. John Power rose to order. He said therewould be no end to confusion if members were al-lowed to travel out of the usual Toutine of business.Let the reports of the several committees be firstdisposed of, and then gentlemen may introduce anysubject they may consider legitimate.

FINANCE REPORT.The Town Clerk read this report, recommending

the payment of several audited accounts, amountingin the aggregate to 1371. 10s. 5d. one of which wasa sum of 601. 9s. 3d., balance of 751. (a year 'ssalary) alleged to be due to Mr. William MarchantArdagh, president of the Court of Conscience! a sumof 141. 10s. 9d. having been already advanced him.

Alderman Walsh, with a surprising exclamation—Whit , 601 !—(laughter.)

Town Clerk—Yes, CO), (laughter.)Alderman Walsh shook his head.

FLACOINO A PATH WAY.The committee recommended the flagging a por-

tion , and paving another portion , of the pathwayleading up to St. Patrick's Church , at'Ulie westernside of Patrick-street, the expense not to exceed 201.

Mr. Purcell asked Mr.Hudson what would be thedifference to flag the whole of it.

Mr. Hudson—All it will cost will be 41. or 51.Mr. Purcell—It leads to a place of worship, and

as there is so little difference in the expense, I movethat the entire of the pathway be flagged.

Mr. Thomas Murphy seconded the motion.The motion was deferred to a future stage of the

proceedings.SAILORS' HOME.

The Mayor said a committee of tho Council hadan interview with a committee of the Harbour Com-missioners, and from the favorable aspect of theconference there is every prospect of such a housebeing immediately established in Waterford, TheChamber of Commerce also intimated their readinessto subscribe £25 towards it, and to give every aidin their power for the successful carrying out ofsuch a desirable institution. It would, said hisworship, be individuall y beneficial to the owners ofshipping; and it would be impossible for any chiefmagistrate whoever he may be in future ' to protectsailors from imposition, unless they have a place toresort to which, they can truly call a . "home."Groups of sailors ate continually prowling about the.quays, robbing themselves, a Uable to'^ robbedV>v nrii»»: '• Dunn* th« lait.veek three imi'tancesof*° tii m£mmBmtitimmmm

a former board agreeing that a sum of £100 should/be paid out of the receipts of the Waterfcrd bailiffsfees, toward s the erection of such an asylum, andthat the sanction of the loids of the treasury be re-quested thereto. On that occasion Mr. Thomas Car-roll was appointed honorary secretary, PRO TEM ., andhad communications on the subject with Belfast,.Limerick, Cork, and other places, where Sailors'Homes were successfully established. The Cham-ber of Commerce had , as he previously stated, agreedto give £25 from their own funds for the purpose,and considering the restrictions they and the Hai-bour Commissioners are \mder (the latter agreeing togive£10) these sums were, comparatively, more than.£100 from the Corporation (hear). In fact it would'be only taking from one pocket and putting it ihto<another, for it would all be expended for the im-provement of the city.

On the motion of Mr. Denny, seconded by Alderman Carroll, the former grant of 1001. was unanimously confirmed.

FISH-HOUSE.The report of the Finance Committee, recommend-

ing payment of 1001. to Mr. Wm. Thompson, ofHigh-street, for his interest in the premises intended,as a site far the new fish-house, was adopted by thacouncil.

PATHWAY IN" PATRICK-STREET.This subject was again introduced , and the motion

of Mr. Purcell and Mr. Murphy read.Alderman Walsh suggested that the proposed

flagging be deferred till the whole improvement b&carried out, by taking down the wall in front ofthe churchyard—that would be a great improve-ment, and would open a fresh carrent of air even forthe benefit of the people at the lower end of thestreet. He moved an amendment that the flaggingbe suspended till that "abomination"—the wall—befirst removed, and the pathway widened.

Capt. Newport agreed with Alderman Walsh—though he was at first most anxious for the im-provement of the pathway—that the wall should betaken down and the pathway widened. In Carlow,a large portion of the churchyard was given up for asimilar improvement, and in Clones the whole of achurchyard was also given up for improvements, in alike manner (hear).

Mr. Clarke said, Mr. Todd, a respectable and in-dustrious citizen, held two houses built on the churchground , and to effect the desired improvement, theyshould come down. It would be unfair to do so un-less he was compensated.

Mr. Denny said if the wall and houses were repre-sented as a nuisance to the Grand Jury, they couldpresent it as such, and then the Bishop will havethem taken down. But till such a form be gonethrough, neither the Bishop, the Dean, or Archdeaconhas any power to do so.

Mr. Power seconded the amendment.The mayor having read it,Mr. Purcell said he would withdraw his motion.Mr. Murphy, the seconder, demurred to that.The amendment was put as an original motion and

passed.FISH-HOUSF.

The committee recommended that a sum of £100be paid for the interest of four houses in Peter-street,to take duwn for an entrance in that street to thenew fish-house.

Mr. Cox moved and Mr. Gallwey seconded itsadoption.—Passed.

THE PATHWAY AGAIN !Alderman Davis moved, and Mr. J. Power se-

conded , that the street committee take the necessarysteps to present the front wall of St. Patrick's churchyard, at the next assizes, as a nuisance.

Alderman Walsh—If you present the wall andhouses as a nuisance Todd gets nothing for his in-terest. The wide-street commissioners should be ap-plied to in the first instance before you resort to apresentment for a nuisance.

Mr. Dobbyn was of the same opinion.The Mayor made an alteration in a few words of

the motion—it was then resolved that the street com-mittee should consider the subject, and report on thobest manner of procedure.

Alderman Davis—I t is a question if the churchever had aright to build houses on the burial ground(hear).

Alderman Phelan—Todd or any other tenant willnot get a penny from the wide-street commissionersunless he had a lease (hear) .

' LOQLOSS LAND.The Town Clerk read a letter from Alderman Davis,

offering £3 an acre for about six acres of the lands otI.ogloss, of which he was in possession until Septem-ber last.

Another tender was read from Mr. John E. Fee-han , offering £'3 10s an acre for the same lands,which he said were in the possession of his father-in-law for many years and on which he expended seve-ral hundred pounds in their improvement. He con-sidered he was, under these circumstances, best en-titled to a preference, as Mr. Davis could not beconsidered in any other light than as a middle man,on those lands.

Alderman Davis said that 50 or §0 years ago hisgrandfather gave £1000 for the whole of that pro-perty, and paid , he thought , about £15 or £16 ayear rent. Mr. Feehan and Alderman Walsh paid.£50 a year, as tenants to him, for the portions they,held , and he should in justice say they were good!tenants, and paid their rent most punctually (hear).His grandfather kept six acres for cows, to supplyhis house with milk , but I, said Alderman D., notbeing so happy as to be married (laughter)did not want any milk for the children (in-creased laughter)—but I hope I some time orother will (great laughter). Mr. Walsh, occupyinga portion ot that land, at the expiration of the lease,.offered 31. an acre for it, and got it (hear.) 1 Now, ifthe occupying tenant, which I considered myself,,do not get a preference, I hope it will be advertisedfor, and let the public generally have a fair chance(hear, hear.) The principle of giving property to sooccupying tenant, in preference to any other, j erson,,is a true principle, and no other man. should get it.unless the public get a fair and an honest.chance of:it by advertisement (hear.)

Mr. Pnrcell—If you got it, Mr. Davis, for 31., youwould not ask for its being advertised. Why did.you not ask for the brewery to be advertised for,,when you got yourself shoved into the council (oh,oh, and much disapprobation.)

Mr. Feehan said the land in question was adjoii *ing his land,—and 31. was the fair value,—but itwoul d be worth 31. 10s. an acre to him, in conse-quence, when it would not be to another person. Al-derman Davis said his grandfather gave 1,000 guineasfor the Logloss land, but Counsellor Walsh's fathergave him 300 guineas for a portion of it (hsar). Hettherefore, for many yeara had a very remunerative-interest for his 7001- or guineas [hear].

Alderman'Davis regretted, it' any observations ofhis were calculated to. call forth, the unpleasant re-marks of Mr. Purcell [" no, no"}. If he had saidanything, during his remarks, to displease any gen-tleman [" no, no"] he regretted it. He merelywished that, if a preference, be not given to an oc~cupying tenant, it should, on this and all other similar,occasions be advertieed, and left open to the public*[hear, hear].. . ¦ ; . -ij

Captain Newport said it was always a wnolesdmfething to advertise all and every property , that maybe let [hear, hear]. It should be the way on all oc-casions, and he hoped the Council would not deviate-from it [hear]. : . . ; .•,- : .>¦: - .; .- ¦. ¦ ¦¦

Captain Newport called on the Mayor tp put theamendment " that the property held by AldermanDavis be put up to public competition " [hear] .

The Mayor, having put the amendment, said , ac-vi rd ng to the voices faye and no] it WHS losf.

The Mayor having put the original motion , de-dared it carried.

IVATT.n.A memorial was rc.id by the town clerk from the

inhabitants of Ballvbrieken , and all the adjoiningstreets, pray ing that the council would lake measuresto give them a suflicieut supp ly of good wholesomewater, of which they were in much need.

The memorial was referred to the Street Com-mittee.

Tim ci iAur uM.A letter was read fro m one of the Corporation olii-

ceid of Liverpool for a copy of the several chartersgranted to Waterford , for the purpose of ascertainingwhat citizens of Waterford were exempt from towndues in that town.

INCOME TAX.

The Town Clerk read a letter from the DublinCouncil , requesting the Waterford corporation to pe-tition parliament against the income tax portion of thebudget.

AMerm.in Uidgw.iv—If we had a general incometax wo would get rid of all other taxation , annuities,and all (hear).

Mr. Feehan—For one that would have to pay theincome tax , there would he ninety-nine who wouldhave to pay the annuities. The last governmentgot into office on the intention of doing away withthe annuities, without the infliction of any incometax.

Captain Newport said t?ie income tax would he nmonstrous infliction on this country, without benefitto the exchequer , as the whole of it would be swal-lowed up by place-hunters in the shape of collectorsmid other oilieial servants of the government [hear,hear].

Alderman Walsh said their representatives in par-liament should be at once written to requesting themto give it the strongest opposition.

Mr. Denny said the Chancellor of the Exchequerwas not dealing fairly with this country. The an-jmities were 180,0001., and the proposed reductionon tea, 100,0001., was only prospective ; the loss onwhiskey will be 40,0001. There will be taxation , ifthe bud get pass, of 900,0001. on Ireland , and deduct-ing the proposed remissions, the balance against thispjuntry will be 500,0001. or 000,0001. a year.

Alderman Carroll moved,and Mr. Lalor seconded,that the Council do petition parliament against theinfliction of an income tax on Ireland. Passed una-nimously,

INTEUCOMMU N 'ICATICI N '.Mr, Lalor proposed that the Mayor be requested

to write to Mr. Meaghcr and Mr. Keating to use alltheir exertions in promoting speedy intercommunica-tion between Waterford and Ilobbs' Point , or anynthcr point the govern men t may deem best. Nowthat the railways are fast approaching Waterfordsuch a facility of intercourse between both countrieswould be of great public utility, and a vast benefit toWaterford. Adopted.

DE CP SKA FIS1IF.1IY.Captain Newport again complained of the insult

offered to the Council , wherever the blame lay heknew not , of not carrying out an unanimous resolu-tion , passed at a former meeting of the Council , tohave the evidence, taken some few years ago, on thedec]) sea fishery printed and circulated.

The Mayor said its not being done was in a greatdegree owing to a statemen t of Captain Newport ,when the resolution was adopted, that the expensewould not be fifty shillings. The finance committee ,finding that the circulation alone would cost over fivepounds, did not carry out the resolution.

INCOME TAX.The Mayor read a short petition , which he had

ju st drawn up, against the income tax.Mr. Gallwcy—The income tax is another infyaction

pf the act of union (hear).conronATF. MAPS,

Mr. .T. A. Blake, pursuant to notice, moved—" That the Finance Committee be empowered to ex-pend a sum, not to exceed twenty-live pounds, forthe purpose of having a map or maps of the corpo-rate property executed, with a descriptive index at-tached, to be hung up in the Council Chamber forthe use of the members and the public,"

The Mayor said that was the only public body inWaterford that had no maps of their property. TheHarbour Commissioners, Board of Guardians, hadmaps, and it was most important , where the propertyis so large, that the Corporation should have maps»f it.

Mr. Blake—I know no more of the Corporationproperty than I do of that of Madagascar (laughter).

The motion having been seconded, was passedunanimously.

The consideration of the following motion of whichMr. ' Clarke had given notice,, was postponed :—" That an Improvement Committee be appointed , toconsist of one member from each ward of the city,whose business it shall be to assist in completing theimprovements already undertaken , and to inquireinto and help forward such other improvements ofstreets and roadways as are practicable, nnd especiallysuch as will, by their ponvenience, and by the facili-ties they will give to trade and industry, create valueequal to the cost of their execution."

D U B L I N EXHIBITION.The Mayor announced that he had received an in-

vitation from the committee of management of theDublin Exhibition, for the Waterford Town Councilto attend the Exhibition.

The Council then broke up.[From the irregularity and disj ointed manner of

going through the business of the Council—indeedit is invariably the case with this body, and with thisbody only,—of all our city corporations ,—that it isextremely difficult and troublesome to give reports ofthe proceedings in a proper and consecutive form.—.Sometimes groups are talking about the /Ire—five orsix members speaking simultaneously—and a fewmembers address the chair at least nineteen times ona single subj ect—and as often on every other. We<isk, with great reaped, will his Worsh ip have thisBabel-like state of things remedied at future meet-ings?]

HOUSE OF LORDS—M ONDAY .THANSI 'ORTATIOX .

Earl GREY gave notice that on Friday next hewould move that an address be-presented to her Ma-j esty, praying that no alteration be made in the re-gulations for the transportation of convicts before afull account of any contemplated changes be laid be-fore Parliament ,

HOUSE OF COMMONS— MOXPAV .Mr. O'F LAU F.HTY presented a petition from an

Irish county against the proposed extension of theincome tax to Ireland.

Mr. ALEXANDER presented a petition from Carlowagainst the proposed extension of the income tax toIreland.

Mr. LASCF.LLES brought up tlie report of the selectcommittee appointed to try and determine the meritsof the Totnes election petition, declaring that Mr. T.Mills had been duly elected.

Mr. H UME moved for lists of all articles on whichcustoms duties were payuble in the year 1851.—Agreed to.

Lord R. GROSVENOR brought up the report of theBolton election committee, declaring Mr. T. Barnesand Mr. J. Brooke to have been duly elected. Thecommittee also reported that the petition was frivo-lous and vexatious.

SAVING BANKS.

In answer to Mr. WH.IHEV,Mr. WILSON said his right lion, friend the Chancel-

lor of the Exchequer had already give notice of hisintention to bring in a bill for improving the manage-ment of savings' banks, and that intention lie stillcdhered to. His right hon. friend was only deterredfTo'ii nr.t'Yjr i- in fo ce now by the position of t?ie

budget. THA DI - TIES .Mr. M OFFATT wished to know when it was pro-

posed to bring in the regulations for eileeting the re-duction of the teaduties, and if it was intended theyshould take ct'ect.

The CIIAN (.I :M.OP. of the EXCHE QU E R said thecourse which the Government proposed to take,after the vote on the income tax should lie disposedof, was this :—They would then take the legacy du-ties ; after the legacy duty it would be proposed totake the second reading , of the Income tax Bill.It would then be proposed to take the second readingof the Spirit Duties Hill , and after this to go intocommittee on the Income Tax Bill , the Governmentnot wishing to lose any lime in carry ing this lattermeasure throug h its various stages. After this billshould havebreu disposed of the Government would atonce proceed with the whole of the resolutions re-lating to the Customs duties , and it was intended thatthese resolutions should take effect from the timethey were agreed to, and reported to the house.

ISCOMI : TAX .Mr. PACK T. wished to ask the Chancellor of the

Exchequer, having his assurance that the incometax shall cease at the end of seven years, whetherhe will have any obje ction to give an .option to com-pound for the future payment of the tax , by a pay-ment in one .sum or by instalments ?

The CiiANci -.i.i.oit of the EX CHKOXKR was quitewilling to take (lie matter info consideration , hut atthe saV-io time, looking at the long period the taxwould have to run , there would be considerable dif-ficulty in meeting such a proposal , and therefore hisanswer must not be viewed in the light of a pledge.

I.P .O.tCV DUTY,

In reply to Lord A. V ANT.,The CHANCT.M.OK of the Exciir.Qur.n said no dis-

tinction would be made in extending the legacyduties between property under settlement and pro-perty utidt -r trust. Property under settlement wouldhave no preference whatever (hear).

T1IK RUIIGKT A D J O U R N E D IIK1IATK ,

The House of Commons having then resolveditself into a Committee, of Ways and Means, the ad-jou rned debate upon the resolution granting an In-come Tax until ISfiO , and the amendment of Sir E.B. Lytton , condemning- the continuance of the taxfor seven years, and its extension to classes heretoforeexempt, without mitigation of its inequalities, as un-ju st and impolitic, was resumed by

Sir W. CI.AV , who said that the financial measuresof the Government had his entire and hearty ap-proval, lie believed that their rejection by thehouse would occasion disappointment not only in themetropolis, but throughout all the great towns in thekingdom. On the whole, he thought that the budgetwas entitled to the approbation of the country, andhe should give it his cordial support.

Sir F. K LLLY opposed the resolutions before thehouse on the ground that they formed part of a schemeof taxation , which was pregnant with new, enlarged ,and intolerable burdens on the already oppressedlanded interest ; because they sought to extend theincome tax to Ireland , without any jus tification orany political or other necessity ; and because theysought to perpetuate , or continue for the unprece-dented period of seven years the income tax , withall those intolerable inequalities which had broughtdiscredit on the legislature, and under which so manyclasses of the people had suffered.

Mr. L AWE observed that as to the extension of thetax to Ireland , the public services for the year wereinexorable ; and , if Ireland did not pay the 460,0001.a year, some body else must ; and why should she beexempted , and Great Britain burdened, and rendered,in fact , tributary to I reland 1

Mr. I. BUTT would not, however, squander a warresource for a crotchet of political economy, and in-flict this inquisitorial tax in her present conditionupon Ireland any more than England. He shouldvote against the Budget.

Mr. Serjeant M URPHY supported the resolution,and the application of the Income Tax to Ireland ,which he looked upon as an inevitable necessity, andsaw no reason by his vote he should turn out the pre-sent Government , in whom he had confidence, know-ing from the tone and temper of this country, thatthe tax must be applied to Ireland sooner or later.

Mr. COXNOI .LY, restricting his observations to thatpart of the Budget which related to Ireland , arguedthat , if there was to bo an equality of taxation be-tween the two countries, the capacity to bear taxa-tion must be equal ; and no one would contend thatthis was the fact. From a comparison of the respec-tive gross incomes of England and Ireland , he con-tended that the latter paid already moro than herquota of taxation , and that the imposition of an in-come tax exceeding this j ust proportion would be adirect violation of the treaty of Union.

Air. Rocm: did not admire the Income Tax", huthe did not believe it was so unjust and unequal assome other taxes, especially those on articles of con-sumption. Ho defended thc 'npplication of the taxto Ireland , maintaining that in 18C0 the balancewould be more in favour of Ireland than England.

Mr. D ISUAU .I said in considering the question ofextending the tax to Ireland , he saw no connexionbetween its incidence and the Consolidated Annuities,and he thought it indiscreet to mix them together.—While the late Government had exempted tho landof Ireland from the Income Tax , they had underconsideration a measure on the subject of the annui-ties.

Lord Joux Ri:ssr.Li- said, with respect to Ireland,while the nciv taxes would amount to £058,000 a-year, the relief woul d be £070,000 a-year, and in1SC0, the additional taxes would he onl y £258,000.But, instead of looking at figures, the question woul dbe discussed with reference to tko general interests ofIreland, which would be largely promoted by thebudget.

Upon a division , the amendment was negatived by323 against 259, and a majority of 71 in favour ofthe Government.

The CHAIRMAN was then ordered to report pro-gress. _ •

The other business having been disposed of , theHouse adjourned at a quarter to three o'clock.

FRIDAY , MAY G, IS53.

From our London Correspondent.

LONDON, M AY 3,1853.The Government has a very fair chance of heing

us ri:uMANKNt:i: , as to make up for its repeated de-feats, it has at length secured a triumphant maj orityof 71 in favour of the second reading of the Bud get,which has however to pass through the ordeal of acommittee, when it is hoped Mr. Glarfntonc will lieinduced to make some revision of the Income-tax,which he has rendered even more stringent on thomiddling classes than Mr. Disraeli , As for tho Houseof Peers, therfl is no hope of softening down this oh,noxious impost, for not only hereditary legislators,hut hereditary income-holders, they can form no con?ception of the privations which the financial bjackrmail of the Chancellor of the Exchequer will inflict

upon a great portion of those subjected to its unju stinfluence.

Mrs. II. Beecher Stowc divides public attention ,and is decidedly the greatest individual lion of themetropolis. To do honour to the distinguishedstranger , the Duchess of Sutherland has invited herto Stafford-house on Saturday, when a large party otladies and gentlemen will be present on the interest-ing occasion.

After the protracted and dismal interregnum ofrain and cold which has filled the agricultural worldwith prophetic croakings of evil, May commences ina right royal sty le, not only to the great del ight ofthe holiday-makers, who are looking forward to asunny Whitsuntide, but of that host of congregation-al country cousins who visit London to attend theMay meetings at Exeter Hall , the platform whichresounds with evangelical eloquence. May is, v.w.i:xciau:xc!:, the great season month of London,when the resources of the metropolis arc seen to thebest advantage ; all its peculiar features then arcbrought out in bolder relief than at other periods,making the figure of the world of London , no inaptdescription.

The prospects of the Jews being admitted to thehighest civic privilege, that ot becoming members ofthe legislature , seems as remote as ever, the pcerjhaving by a somewhat strong majority of 49 nega-tived their claims to partici pate in the labours of "tc?glslation. Unfortunately, too, for the Israelites, nsa body they arc not sulliciently numerical , and donot exercise such influence on society, so as to rendertheir admission to parliament a popular question ,and it is very much to be doubted whether the honourthey aspire to will ever be theirs, unless there bo anew creation of peers to counterpoise the majorityagainst them, or some other extraordinary and un-constitutional measure be resorted to with the objectof attaining their political enfranchisement.

LONDON , TUESDAY ." The Ministerial majority of 71 last night was

much greater than was expected. The threat of (lit1dissolu tion as I anticipated from the first had the de-sired effect and induced several-^-chiefl y Conserva-tives—to absent themselves from the division. Shortl yafter the break up of the late government, Lord Derbystated that he had a compact body to rely upon ,composed of ,'310 members of the House of Com-mons. Last night there were in the minority alto-gether, including tellers ... ... ... 251Deduct from this—Irish Brigadiers ... S\

22!J" Thus 87 of those who had ranged themselves

under Lord Derby 's banner four short months ago,have cither gone over to the enemy or refused to nt-tond the division , although Lord Derby had personallyentreated them to rall y as one man and defeat thoproposed imposition of the income tax for sevenyears.

" But now that Government hnvo succeeded inaffirming their first resolution , I should not be at allsurprised if their triumph were fatal to them. Theall-absorbing question having been disposed of, theywill have time to quarrel amongst themselves, andin a few months, when they begin to work the in-come tax DOWN to £100 a year, it will make themintensely unpopular.—[E. Muil.l

DUBLIN EXHIBITION

We have hoard with pleasure that the spiritedpeople of Kilmacthomas , in this count)' , have sentto the Dublin Exhibition several articles of nativemanufacture, which, we have no doub t, will redoundmuch to their credit and commendable enterprise.Among the specimens sent is a Chum, on anew andpeculiarly elegant construction , which will enablea child to make as much butter in half-an-hour astwo women could in double the time. There worealso some excellent specimens of tweeds and frizes ,for trousering, forwarded to Dublin , The marquisand marchioness of Waterford have kindly and ge-nerously patronised this branch of manufacture sinceits first establishment in Kilmacthomas, his lordshiphaving worn a suit of it during the last summer, andthe marchioness purchases every winter a large por-tion for distribution amongst the poor of her nei gh-bourhood. We would say to others, on whom theAlmighty has bestowed more than a sufficiency ofthis world's wealth , "go thou , and do likewise ,"

What have we to say for Waterford with regard tothe approaching Irish Exhibit ion ? Nothing, realtyand trul y, nothing ! We have not heard that a singlearticle has been sent to Dublin from ;this city ! Worecollect the praiseworthy exertions of Dean Hoare,previous to the National Exhibition at Cork, and f orwhich we gave him all due laudation. What has be-come since of his patriotism, his national ity, and his" citizenshi p ?" Not one move on his part withregard to the grand metropolitan demonstrat ion ,which is about to commence in a few days. Therev. gentleman, previous to the Cork affair, was cer-tainly comparativel y a stranger amongst us, and onl yverified the old adage, "a new broom sweeps clean."The Dean is aware that tho "powers that be" are byno means opposed to the present national movement,consequently there was nothing- on that score to pre-vent a renewal of his former philanthrop ic and high-ly useful exertions at the period we allude to. But ,why should we confine our observations to the revDean alone, whilst there are hundreds in the citywhose interests are more concerned in the cncouragcrment of native manufactures than his, and whose ap-athy and want of patriotism on this occasion arc asgreat , and consequently much less pardonable.—What will the patriotic tradcrsand manufacturers ofDublin, nay, of all Ireland, say to Waterford—.thethird city in this country—when they find that notone sinngle article has been sent from the " nibs in-tacta" to the—what we may call—the great andgrand Irish Exhibition of 1S53 ? We antici pate whatthat will be, but in mercy to our fellow-citizens werefrain from giving expression to it.

At the meeting of the town council on Tuesday themayor informed the members that a great comp li-ment had been, paid them , by an invitation to attendthe opening ofthc Grand Exhibition in Dublin on the12th instant. Were the Dublin gentlemen , who formthe committee of management , aware, previous todespatching their flattering missive, that not onestep was advanced by any member of the WaterfordCorporation towards the promotion of the great na^tio;ial movement ? We op ine not ,

THE FANNING CIIARIT1

There are at present seven vacancies for inmates—six males and one female—in the Fanning 's Insti-tute. The day of admission will be Tuesday the 17thinstant , and there are no less than eighty-eight can-didates ! One of them , a man named MichaelM-Grath, 66 years of ago, offers to the governors,for the benefit of the institution , a sum of £20 for hisadmission. No doubt lie will be one of the " elect ,"

Mil. PARSONS AND MISS WILTON'SENTERTAINMENTS.

On Monday evening we had the pleasure of hear-

ing a most interesting and intellectual literary andmusical treat, at the large assembly room, TownHall, by Mr. W. Parsous and Miss E. Wilton . Mr.Parsons commenced with nn exposition of the earlylife and writings of the late Thomas Moore, " thepoet of all nations, the admiration of his own." Itwould be quite impossible to do ample justice,—with-out going to a considerable length,-~-to the finelydelivered and elegant lecture , occasionally inter-spersed with beautiful and appropriate quotationsfrom the poets, to which Mr. Parsons gave a peculiargrace by his elegant delivery and eloquent and im-pressive manner. The learned lecturer 's able dis-course was illustrated by Miss AVilton , who sang se-veral of the Melodies in an enchanting manner.—Her firs t song—indeed we may say from first tolast—"When he who adores tliee," drew downrapturous applause, and of course an encore. Thesecond, " Rich and rare were the gems she wore,"so complimentary to tho honour and virtue of theIrish character , in days of yore ,—was vehementlycheered , again and again , and on its repetition theapp lause was renewed to the echo. A beautiful bal-lad , from Moore 's luxurious Eastern love tale " LnllaRookh ," as ^warbled by the assumed minstrel,Fadladecn , toTits lady-love, was delightfully sung,and ample justieo dene it, by Miss Wilton. Theconcluding song,—an universal favourite,—"Thelast rose of summer," was a charming finale to theentertainments, which was admirably executed byMiss Wilton ,, who is as gifted with high vocal powers,as she is with graceful personal attractions. Shehas a voice truly attuned to Irish melodies,

On Wednesday evening the audience was morenumerous than on Monday, as the rain came downin torrents on that evening, notwithstanding the au-dience was large and respectable. After some intro-ductory remarks, Mr. Parsons gave an excellentdefinition of true poetry, and its various manifesta-tions, which was of considerable interest to everypoetic mind . This was followed by an exposition ofthe genius and writings of Thomas Hood—his wit ,and his genial and kindl y spirit as a humourist. Mr.Parsons added much interest to the lecture by severalreadings from the works of this groat poetical hu-mourist. Miss Wilton sang several songs which ,with one exception , the celebrated , pathetic andheart-rending "Song of the Shirt," were dry nnduninteresting compared to our own soft and soul-thrilling national melodies. She , however , did herpart in their execution with her usual taste, and wasmuch applauded. At the conclusion , after MissWilton had retired from the platform, Mr. Parsonsagain came forward , and announced that at the par-ticular desire of several ladies and gentlemen , theentertainments of Monday evening'would be repeatednext evening. lie said he could offer nothing novelin the Moore entertainment , with the exception of achange in the songs from those sung on that evening.

v On Thursday evening there was a very numerousand highly respectable audience, and the entertain-ments were, aa o» Monday, highly interesting. MissWilton sang several of the melodies tin on Mondayevening.

Most Important Correspondence on llwIncome Tax.

LETTER TO N. M. POWER , ESQ., M.P

Lismore, April 25, IS53.Mv Dn.ut Mn. POWER —I beg to call your espe-

cial and immediate attention to the exceedinglyimportant subject matter of this hurried communica-tion. It appears evident that the present Govern-ment , and all its ixTBitr.sTE u and VESAI , SCITORTEKS ,arc determined to force an Income Tax on poor andimpoverished Ireland.

How monstrous—how utterly impolitic—and howunjustifiable , and how much in direct opposition toall the princi ples of a sound and a just Legislature,is the attempt now made to introduce an Income Taxinto the poorest country on the face of the globe—whore all classes arc suffering deep ly, and are quiteunable, in too many instances, to meet their variouspublic and private liabilities ; and yet strange, andpassing strange, this inquisitorial , immoral, and mostoppressive, and evidentl y unjust and grinding tax , isselected out in order to complete tho ruin of Ireland,They say that in return we will have the remission ofthe consolidated annuities—that is a "mockery, adelusion , and a snare." Arc we to purchase that re-mission at SO U f .AR A HAT E , A PERPETUAL 1XCOMCTAX ? No ; never. The annuities are famine debts,and should be remitted and paid from the imperialtreasury, as the calamity which created that debtwas a national one. It is unnecessary for me to gointo a detail of the ninny evil s necessarily consequentupon the introduction of the Income Tax into Ire-land. As an honest and independent member ofparliament , these fearful evils you clearly contem-plate. I am fully satisfied that you will firmly voteagainst that most hateful measure.

My decided opinion is that any Irish member,who will vote for such a measure has, by tha t votolost the confidence of hi3 constituents , and univer-sally deserves public censure—the surrender at onceof the representation of any county or boroughwhich he misrepresents.

This is and should be the general feeling of everyconstituency in Ireland. I ain sure you will escapecensure , as you will do your duty honestly to thecounty of Waterford. .

In haste, I have the honour to remain ,My Dear Mr. Power,

Your sincere friend,P. FOOARTY , P.P., Lismore.

Nicholas Mahon Power, Esq., M.P.for the county Waterford.

The House of Commons,April 28th, 1853.

Mv D EAR R I:V. SIH —I write to you in haste, andCobden is speaking on the Budget ; I beg to assureyou that I shall give every opposition in my power tothe imposing an income tax on Ireland.

The debate is expected to last two nights at least :if all the Irish members vote against it, the ministrywill go out—it is not expected that Lord Derby canmake a ministry. I am afraid they will carry it[igainst us.

PLACES PLENTY !!! and many of the Irishmembers going round.

MR. MEAGIIER'S REPLY TO THE CITYCOMMITTEE.

The following is the reply of one of our cityrepresentatives to the resolution against the In-come tax , emanating from a meeting latel y heldin the Town Hall , and which we published in ourlast. It will de observed by the subj oined letterthat Mr, Meagher is, as usual , " true as the dialto the sun 1'—afraid " neither the threa t of adissolution , nor the apprehension of a charge ofministry," when the interests aud welfare of hiscountry are at stake :—

" FORD'S HOTEL, LONDON,May 2nd , 1853.

"SIR -I am favoured by your 's of the 29th April witha copy of a resolution pissed at a meeting of the committeeappointed to secure the return of liberal members at the(apt olection. In reply, I h.avo to request you trill inform

the committee, that it u my intention to use cverjr par-liamentary means to give effective opposition to any at-tempt to extend the Income Tax to Ireland—an inteu t ion•which T formed when the proposal was first made by theChancellor of the Exchequer, and which I am happy tofind is in accordance vritu the wishes of so maDy of myrespectablo fellow-citizens, as composed the committee.Vou way further assure them.if you please, that neither thethreat of a dissolution , nor the npprehennonofaohing eofministry (the uswil resort when other arguments fail)shall prevent me from actiug in union with those Irishmembers who place tho interests of their country andtho wishc3 of their constituents above all tuch considera-tions.

To tbc Editor of tbc « Waterford News."THE INCOME TAX.

Sir I have heard a few people say that the aboli-tion of the Annuities will be better than the IncomeTax for Ireland. I say not. 1st—the Income/ Taxwill endure when once imposed, as long as govern-ment wish ; whereas the Annuities were only to lastfor 40 years (an d they would not last quarter as long).2nd—the Income Tax will be Gd. in the pound onevery pound a man may scramble togother, whereasthe Annuities were only levied according to the poorra te of a man 's house. For instance, a man ratedat £12 a year, (with 'an income of £100 a year) onlypaid, at 0'd. in the pound

£ s. d.For Annuities (per year) .,, 0 5 0For Income Tux, do. at Gd. ... 2 10 0

Excess of Income Tax, ... 2 5 0But if this man happen to make £500

a year in his £12 house, his IncomeTax will amount to (per year) ... 12 10 0And who is to regulate what a man 's income may

be ? A government official to be sure ! Now con-trast the "saving of a few pence in a few pounds oftea—and the loss on whiskey—to this wholesale rob-bery ? Why if the government wish to press thescrew hard , they can mulct the whole conn try underihis eheat-and-svvindlc-plea of Income Tax.

SUGAR BEET

We direct attention to our advertising columnsfor information that cannot fail to give great encou-ragement to our formers, and encourage our peoplealso, in the hope of permanent and profitable emj )loy-ment , We nre rejoiced the more at this as we hada lively and deep interest in the success of the sugarfactory here, it will be the pioneer of other factories,which in time will spread through the country andwill develop resources hitherto almost anknown. Weunderstand that the experiments of last winter, al-though they appeared to the public to be a failure,were attended with most satisfactory results, Moreand better sugar was produced than has ever beenby any other system. AVe hope our farmers willtake advantage of this company, and instead ofplanting a precarious potatoe will sow their manuredland with Beet, which brings a ready market, quickreturns, and is a profitable speculation. These are[laramou iit consideration s for the agrioultiui'st.

Samples of the Waterford sugar can be seen at ouroffice.

Rev, Dr. O'Connell preached a charity sermon inSt. Mary 's church, Clonmel, on Sunday.

M R. K EATI NG , M.P.—We should have said in ou1last, that Mr. Keating stated in a letter to a gentle"man in Waterford , that if he did not hear from hisconstituents before the division on the Budget ques-tion , he would " vote with the majority of the Irishmembers." Mr, K., however, heard from his con-stituents in due time.

THE BL'TTBR TKADE .—At this, the commencemen tof the butter season, the makers of and dealers inbutter, should bear in mind the necessity of beingparticular in the quality of salt used hy them, asnone is fit for making butter but home-made salt. !

THE IRISH MEMBERS-THE LVCOMR, , .;, • TAX.'-*1-'-**, .

It will be seen by our Parliamentary report,as well as by our London Correspondence, that onTuesday morning, the Ministry carried th eirBudget—including the Income Tax to Ireland—

by a larger majority than many anticipated , name-ly—71. There were in the House 580 membersin all , and out of that large number 323 voted forthe Budget , and 252 against it.

Never, perhaps , were there so many of thaIrish members p resent as on this occasion, viz:—.103 out of 105—23 of whom voted for grrivn.ment, and for Irish taxation—and 80 in oppigfttion to government , and against Irish taxation.

All our Waterford members acted as they shouldhave done ; and one of the most esteemed of thesegentlemen in writing to us on yesterday raornin»,says:—" I have sent you by post the division" lists on the first amendment of the Budget. If" all the Irish members had voted as those re-" turned by Waterford , County, City, and Bo-" roug h , the ministerial maj ority would have" been very considerabl y reduced." Very good.

But , we think, it better to give the names ofthe Irish members who voted for and against go-vernment : —FOR G O V K R X M K X T , A X D THE INCOME TAX TO IltEJ.AXU

EXEMPTIONS FROM THE INCOME TAX

Mr Maguire, M.P. for Dungarvan, in his corres

pondence to the " Cork Examiner," says :—

" Again , I say, if the income tax be imposed on" Ireland , Ireland will have to blame some of tie" Irish members for i t ; for had ALL the liberal party" adopted the same tone and assumed the same atti-" tude as that adopted and assumed Ly those who sat" on the opposition benches, any terms which they" chose to dictate might be granted by a ministry in" that most delicate and critical of all possible cir-'•' cumstances—the passing of a Budget.

" P. S.—I have since heard that there are to be" some modifications of the tax with respect to It*"land. The Priests, as l ean understand, are not" to he exempted f rom the tax, but they are to ba" freed from its inquisitorial operation , and their" own return (sent in through the Bishop) accepted," I suppose the same may apply to Protestant cler-=" gymen ; but of that I am not certain,"

DIE INCOME TAX—IRISH MEMBERSGOING ROUND FOR PLACE !

We publish elsewhere a very important corresi

pondence between the ever-patriotic and justly-

esteemed P. P. of Lismoie, and NICHOLAS POW,

had, in time, warned Mr. POWEE of the evil

effects which the odious and inquisitorial IncOM?

Tax would produce upon this poor afflicted counrj .;

try. The letter itsel f being more telling and «•£pressive than anything we could write upon_ ||-

subject, we therefore beg to draw especial alt|f^

fully agree with the Rev. gentleman in «*fjgfj|that those Irish members who have voted ft >-.:|?5^Income Tax for this country, must M fcrfeiijMSJ

YOVGHAL BOARD OF GUARDIANS-F IUDAY .

THE LATE ELECTION OF GUARDIAN S.

" Youghnl, Apri l M , 1853." G ENTLEMEN —From a statement made to your

board on an examination of the voting papers ten-dered at the last election of guardians for the electo-ral division of Youghal, it nppeareTl necessary to alarge portion of the ratepayers that such should befairly met, and placed in a proper.li ght before theguardians and the Poor Law Commissioners, as theywere satisfied the facts of the case bore a differentappearance on a faithful examination.

" Mr. William Carbery, chairman of the TownCommissioners, having, by resolution of your board,been authorised to examine the voting papers, state-ment of claims, and proxies tendered at the late elec-tion , in unison with such guardians as felt intrestedm the return.

" The subscribers hereof beg to state they haveexamined the voting papers tendered at the lateelection , and desire first to apply themselves to theobjectionabl e votes in Mr. Fisher 's statement, which ,in 'his opinion , appear invalid, lie states thus—Ti-moth y Delacour is allowed to vote for James DeJ.t-cour. The reply is brief , there never did exist a•Tames Delacour pay ing poor rates in Youghal elec-toral division. Timoth y Delacour being the occu-pier and pay ing the rates exercised the right to vote,James appearing on the rate books was a mere cle-rical error in copying, and plainly the returning offi-cer had no alternative but to admit the vote.

" Next, Mary Murphy for Thomas Murphy.—Mary is the widow of Thomas now some years dead ,she having paid the rates, signed truly her ownname, as she was entitled. Was she through clericalerror to be disfranchised ?

" Like, also, Thomas England for the Rev. JohnEngland. It is well ascertained there is not a Rev.John England resident in Youghal. The Rev.Thomas England being the occupier, and payingthe. rates, exercised his right, this also being a clericalerror.

" Patrick Broder for Thomas Brodcrick . It maybe here necessary to remark to your board that 13i-o-der is the Irish or synonimous term for Broderick ;that Thomas is about two years dead ; and was suc-ceeded by his nephew Patrick, who has since been inpossession, and paid the rates, and having done sovoted for the candidates he thought proper. Mr.Joseph Fisher complains that those votes were al-lowed for Messrs. Verlin , Austin , and Meara, whenunder similar circumstances Anne Freeman 's vote,instead of J. B. Freeman and Abraham Fisher, forP. M. Fisher, have been excluded, they being ten-dered for other candidates. It appears to us tjuiteplain that Anne Freeman cannot exercise the rightof her husband and he alire ; nor can Mr. AbrahamFisher exercise the vote of P. M. Fisher, though hemay be his accredited agent and manager of his bu-siness ; but Mr. Joseph Fisher might here have ad-mitted that on precisely similar grounds Mr. Greens-lade 's votes were rejected by the officer , being signedby the manager of his business, he being resident inEngland , and which latter votes were tendered forACcssrs. Verlin , Austin, and Meara .

" The next vote complained of by Mr. Fisher isthat of Elizabeth Harvey, who placed her initialsE.1I. in the prescribed manner opposite the names ofthe candidates she choose to vote for, but in signingthat paper she contradicts her initials, by the additionof a letter, Elizabeth T. Harvey. Had she signedher initials E. T. II. it may be fairl y looked on as aclerical error in therato books, theT.bcing leftout ; butwhen she made her initials and name to differ, weconsider it was just grounds for the officer to rejectthe vote. In juxta position with this Mr. Fisherquotes the vote of Mary Neil as against the first fivecandidates which were admitted. In fairness, willany one take on them to deny that Neil and O'Neilare not every day taken as the same? but Mr. Fisherforgot to state that in the case of Miss Harvey hchada lad y ofrespectabilitjpnnd position , who well knewwhat to do ; but in the case of Mary Neil , sin; appearsto be an uneducated person , merely signing the paperwith her mark ; thus the addition of a letter in herinitials or subtraction of one in her name, appears tobe the entire act of an illiterate scribe, who performedth 'm duty and witnessed the mark.

" The. next objection is that the vote Robert Hud-son, Esq., was not allowed. The prescribed formwast sent him ; and when the votes of farmers andshopkeepers were rej ected on technical grounds , weare at a loss to know why the magistrates, in Mr.Fisher 's judgment, should claim exemption. It isplain he did not fill the columns as directed by theCommissioners' papers and instructions, and theofficer, in our opinion , only discharged his duty inrejecting the vote. With respect to Joshua W. Pirn 'svoting paper, as stated by Mr. Fisher, returned withan entry no occup ier in the house, Myrtle Grove ,that being evidentl y untrue. In reply we beg tostate that on the poll (No. 3:j -l) James H. Pirn , votesas a j oint occupier with his father Joshua W. Pirn ,and recorded five votes—for Messrs. llarvev, Fisher,Green , Stanistreet, and Giles. The voting paper forNelson place was returned , finding no person toaccept it, which can be proved by the policeman.Another voting paper, under statement of claims forJ. W. Pirn , was left at Myrtle Grove, and returnedunsigned by him. The next allegation of Mr. Fisheris that several voters got credit for a larger numberof votes than they were entitled to, of courseprcsnmin" they were admitted for the last threecandidates on the poll to the prejudice of the first five.

" We are amazed beyond descri ption at the wantof candour , even from an opponent , that we feel at aloss how to measure our language in reprobation.When your board , or the poor Law Commissioners,shall deem it necessary to further investigate the lateelection for this division , it will then appear on oathwho lost the most votes for objections apparentlytrifling, such as the parties signing the initials of thecandidates they wished to vote for, instead of theirown, and also the many signatures of witnessesto marks, when not being in the prescribed partof the paper. The cases are not alluded to by Mr.Fuher, being dissalowcd by the officer from MessrsVerlin , Austin , and Meara 's poll ; but this is not theonl y want of candour. Does Mr. Fisher state thata voting paper was sent in , purporting to be signedby Mrs. Marsdcn , a lady who was some days (load ,prior to the issuing of the papers, which is a palpableforgery, and this vote was tendered for Messrs.Fisher, Harvey, Green , Stanistreet , and Giles.

^ but

most properly rejected, by the returning officer?Another vote that the returning officer was not ac-quainted with the handwr itcinjj of the party, andwho at the time was in England. His voting paper ,signed in a new formed hand in the opinion of thoseacquainted with it , was sent in , and allowed to aug-ment the poll of the first five gentlemen.

" Several of Messrs. Verlin , Austin , and Meara 'ssupporters being owners in fee, received only creditfor hal f they votes the were entitled to, but on inquirywe find the parties did not previously intimate to thereturning officer the fact. We cannot blame himfor recording the votes only .as occupiers.

"Mr. Fisher next objects to the oflicer rejecting17.'$ proxy votes as he quotes, tendered in favour ofMessrs. Fisher, Harvey, Green , Stanistreet , andGiles, and notwithstandi ng Mr. Fisher 's objection tothese votes being rejected , we arc strengthened inour opinion of the conduct pursued by the returningofficer , from the Commissioner ' letter to him on thesubject.

" We have looked through those proxies, andfind such an exaggerated amount of interest claimedwhich we are satisfied docs not exist, that in justiceto the rated occup iers in the division , the Poor LawCommissioners should interpose their authority andcause such scrutiny, and require proof of the exis-tence of such claim as will at all future electionsprevent the attempts hitherto made to sink the inde-pendent ratepayers' votes in this electoral division.—A vast portion of these rates are claimed on (lie un-occupied property, y ielding neither interest to thelandlord , or contributing to the rates of the union ;amongst them will be found , we believe, proxiesfrom parties who possessed no right to give them ,and also will be found persons who have parted theirinterests, and others dead.

"We find a vote tendered for one individual , andhe is said to be two years dead , and who sold hisinterest a coneidcrable time previousl y. We con-sider this same vote was most likely tendered andrecorded in March , 1852, but not having examinedthe papers of that election , cannot undertake tostate positively. These remarks will also app ly tothe statement of claims,

<< We cannot conclude this report without bring ingunder your notice the particular handwriting themajor part of those proxy votc-s are filled in , beingMr. Joseph Fisher's, which may account in some de-gree for his anxiety and disappointment in the latereturn , after the laborious manufacture of so manyvotes. This is further evinced by the claim made on

behalf of Mr, Fisher out of the houses in North

Main-street, in Mr. Joseph Fisher's writing, exhibit-ing a rental of £181 7s. 9d., and from all the-infor-niation we can collect no such houses call be foundpaying any such amount of rent. Several of thepapers, appointing Mr. Michael Green proxy, appearto us not to be signed by Mr. Green.

" It will be for the Poor Law Commissioners toredress the rated occupiers, for they feel they arecompletely swamped by this wholesale, unjust manu-facture of votes, concentrated and connected for oneindividual , not for the good of the union, but toenable the holder to carry out factious and partyviews at will, towards any one who dare be indepen-dent enough to differ from him.

" We, therefore, particularly dire ct_ your attentionto the statement of claims and proxies which, in aword , we can best compare to the Augean stable,that a Hercules aloDC can thoroughly cleanse.

WHY THE BISHOP WAS ARRESTEDAs sonic, j ournals have mistaken the cause of the

lit. Rev. Dr. Ullathorne, we shall briefl y state thefacts of the case :—80 shares having been left hisLordshi p and Dr. Moore, in a Monmouth shire Bank-ing Company, for charitable purposes, the companysubsequentl y became bankrupt , when the rev. gen-tlemen became (legally) responsible for their share ofthe debts. They paid several calls , but at least ademand of £:5,S00 was made upon them, which theyfound themselves unable to pay, and thus resolved togo to jail rather than submit to any more imposition.Although the rev. gentlemen receivednot one farthingfrom the said bankrupt company, they paid over£1,000 into its unscrupulou hands. Already theypaid £1,000 too much.

Every care that humanity could dic-tate was bestowed on the wretched man by'thc oflieersof the jail , but in vain ; he graduall y sank , and at aperiod we have mentioned , went to his great account.We have heard that he boasted of a certain act ofhis connected with the late execution ; but as thatboast, if made, might be an excuse—although a dia-bolical one—for bungling, we refrain from shockingthe public mind by repeating it here.

V"hcn the silver stare looked down fnmvBcavenTo smile the world to rtit,

A woman, from nil refuge driven ,Her little bnbe caress'd ,

And thus she song :

" Sleep within thy mother'* arms,Foliled to thy mother 's heart .

Folded to the breast that wormsOnl y from its inward smart ,

Only from the pent-up flameBurning fiercely at its core,

Cherished by iny loss and shame :Shall I live to suffer more ?

Shall I live to hear the pan;*Of the world's neglect and scorn ?

Hark ! the distant belfry clang*Welcome to the coining morn.

Shall I live to «ce it rise ?Is't not better far to die ?

Shall I K»7.e upon the ski«s—Ouzo upon them shamelessly !

Clasp me, babe, around my neck,Do not fear me for the sobs

Tlmt I cannot , cannot check.Oh ! another moment robs

Life of all its painful breath ,Walking us from this sad drean ,

E'en the wretched rest in deathHark '. the murmur of the stream.

Nestle, closely, cheek to cheer jLet us hasten to the wave

AVhcrc is found what we would seek,Death , oblivion , and a grave."

And the tide rolls on for ever,Of that dark and silent river ;And beneath the wave foam sparkling,'Mid the weeds embowered and darkling,There they lie near one another ,Youthful child and youthful .mothcr ;And the tide rolls on for p.verOf that swift and silent river.

—Household Word*

NETHERLANDISM POPULAR BELIEF.To see lady-birds forbodes good luck.It is not good to comb the hair or cut the nails on

a Friday.Two "forks across forebode strife or enmity.To overthrow a saltcellar is not good ; strife will

follow.When an egg is eaten the shell should be broken.If a person feels a tickling in the palm of the hand

he will receive money.The howling of a dog forbodes the death of a person

in the neighbourhood.Three candles burning in one room forebode mar-

riage.Rain on Friday, rain on Sunday.To get out of bed with the right foot first forebodes

good luck for the whole day.On Christmas night, at twelve o'clock, all the cattl e

rise up, and continue standing for some time, and thenagain lie down.

When a cold trembling creeps over the limbs, it isusual for a person to say, "They are riding over mygrave." (In England they say WALKING ).

When the ducki dive bad weather may be expected.Neither a knife nor scissors may be given to a

friend ; they cut love.Two knives laid across forebode misfortune.

For thirteen to sit at table it is ill-boding ; the personthat then sits under the beam is a traitor. Of the thir-teen one will die in that year.

It is stated that a man residing at Watertown ,Jefferson county, keeps five thousand hens in a ten-acre lot, with large and suitable buildings all round,for their lodging, setting, and rearing chickens.

It is said the farmers in Pennsylvania are opposedto the new county of Madison , proposed at the lategeneral assembly, because they had far enough to goto the Philadelphia market, without going throughanother county.

There is said to be an interesting couple in Cin-cinatti, who have been engaged to be married for thelast five years ; but no time has occurred during thatwhole period when they were both out of prison atonce.

The Egyptians are said to have been the first in-ventors of beer, in the year 1212, befor* the Christianera. They named it pelusian liquid , because it wasfirst made at Pelisium, a city near the mouth of theNile.

Scipio Afncanus introduced the custom of shavingevery day, in the year of Rome 454, and a long seriesof emperors conformed to it.

It is a singular fact that while Iceland, with apopulation of 60,000, has three newspapers, the is-land of Sicily, with a population of 2,000,000, has noteven one newspaper.

THE TEETH.—It is a strange thing that the humanteeth, apparently the most indestructible organ ofour whole frame, shonld be the cause of more suffer-ing, and perhaps of more mortality, than any othermember with which Providence has furnished man.The ear, with all its fine mechanism—the eye, withall its frag ile delicacy—nay, the stomach, with all itscomplication and heavy business in the economy ofhuman life—none of these give us so much trouble asthe hard, compact, and well-guarded teeth. In child-hood their growth is often fatal—in infancy the changeis painful and disfiguring—in riper years they areto every iudividual sources of accident and agony—and towards the close of our earthly pilgrimage, themiserable skeleton remains of the once well-arrangedcorps continue to annoy, or are replaced by equallytormenting auxiliaries.'

DELICACY . —Above every other feature whichadorns the female character, delicacy stands foremostwithin the province of good taste. Not that delicacywhich is perpetually m quest of something to beashamed of, which makes merit, of a blush, andsimpers at the false construction Its own ingenuityhas put upon an innocent remark ; this spurious kindof delicacy is as far removed from good taste as fromgood feeling and good sense; but the high-mindeddelicacy which maintains its pure and undeviatingwalk alike amongst women .as in the society of men,which shrinks from no necessary duty, and canspeak, when required, with seriousness and kindnessof things at which it would be ashamed to smile or toblush—that delicacy which knows how to confer abenefit without wounding the feelings of another,and which understands also how and when to receiveone—that delicacy which can give alms without dis-play, and advice without assumption ; and whichpains not the most humble or most susceptible beingj n creation.".I'm tired of the world," as Atlas said when he

stopped to rest himself.A BSENCE .—Absence, like every pang, weakens by

repeti tion : the friend who has once returned in safetymay return again—we soon draw precedents fromthe past.

The only backbiters that ever did any good in thisworld—leeches."Much remains unsung," as the tom-cat remarked

to the brick-bat, when it abruptly cut short hisserenade.

LIFE is a fiel d of blackberry and raspberry bushes.Mean people squat down and pick the fruit, no matterhow they black their fingers ; while genius, proud andperpendicular, strides fiercel y on, and gets nothingbut scratches and holes torn in its trousers.

BEAUT V.—Everything in creation , is not , humanlyspeaking, beatiful ; the ugly exists there beside thebeautiful , thegrotesque on the reverse of the sublime,deformity close to grace, evil with: good, shade withlight. What we call ugly harmonizes not with mn.n,but with creation.—VICTOR HUGO.

A GOOD WIPE.—A good wife should belike threethings ; which three things she should not be like.First,'she should be like a snail, always keep within,h*r.bou8e ; but she should not be like a snail , to carry

^tifff- f ke has on her back. Secondly, she should be like'.;& echo, speak when she is spoken to; but she shouldhot be like an echo, always to have the last word.Thirdly, she should be like a town-clock, always keeptime and regularity ; but she should not be like atown-clock, to speak so loud that all the town mayhear her.

MARRIAGE .—Look at the great mass of marriagesthat take place over the whole world ; what poor, con-temptible affairs they are .' A few soft looks, a walk, adance, a squeeze of the hand, a popping of the ques-

. tion, a purchasing of a certain number of yards of^ wbJte jMt^ri,« ring, a clergyman, a stage or two in at itti'ajttiigt, •night in a country inn, and the whole

iffl tecellanea" I wondrr what the ghost of a mail-coach would

carry in its bag ?" asked the landlord. " The deadletters, of course," said the bagman.

An anxious Scotch mother was taking leave of herson, on his departure for England, and giving him agood advice. " My dear Sauny, my ainiy son, gangsouth, and get all the siller from the Southerns ;take everything you can ; but the English are a brawboxing people, and take care of them, Saxiny. Mydear son, Sauny, never fight a bald man, for youcannot catch hold of him by the hair of his head."

The best spider-and-fly story is the following :—" A very strong loud blustering fellow of a blue-bot-tle fly bounded accidentally into a spider 's web.Down ran the old spider, and threw her long armsaround his neck ; but he fought, and struggled, andblew his drone, and buzzed, and sang siiarp, andbeat, and battered, and tore the web in holes, and sogot loose. The spider would not let go her holdround him, and the fly flew away with tue spider !"This is related on the authority of Mr. Thomas Bell,the naturalis t, who witnessed the heroic act.

PYRAMID OF EGYPT.—The Great Pyramid inEgypt, is 45G feet in height, and its base occupiesthirteen acres. Its weight is estimated at six mil-lions of tons, and its erection would occupy 3,000men twenty years. If it was broken up, the mate-rials would rear a wall around the whole empire ofFrance ten feet high and two-and-a-half feet thick.

OCEAN STEAMERS .—The rapidity with which oneof the Collins' Ocean steamers can be prepared forsea is remarkable. On arriving at New x'ork, thevessel is immediately boarded by a few of the smallriver boats, bringing coal, water, clean linen, &c.Nearly all the moveubie furniture of the Collins'steamers is duplicated ; so that all the bedding, car-petting, &c, used on a voyage, is removed for reno-vation , and replaced by a i/esh assortment. Withinthirty-six hours alter arriving, one of these shipscould be cleared from top to bottom, supp lied, andmade ready for a new voyage.

Little thinks the ball-rooin beauty, when thetapers are almost burnt out, that the wax by whoselight her charms have been exalted was once hiddenin the bells and cups of innumerable flowers, shed-ding perfume over the silent valleys of the Susque-hanna, or nodding at their own reflected colors in thewaters of the Potomac or Delaware.

All the world are delighted to watch the youngas thuy grow up together. To me it is not less de-lightful to see two Creatures of distinct tempers andpassions by degrees melting into one—so see howhappy those may be who habitually prefer the hap-piness of another to their own ; to see, finall y, reallove, like a flower blooming amid ruins, surviving thevigour of youth, and all th«se attractions on which itis thought to depend.

Lord Chancellor Hardwicke was very fond of en-tertaining his visitors with the following story of hisbailiff, who, having been ordered by his lady to pro-cure a sow of a particular description, came one dayinto the dining-room when full of company, pro-claiming with a burst of joy he could not suppress ," I have been at Royston fair, my lady, and I havegot a sow exactly of your ladyship's size."

" PAYING RATHER" DEAR FOR "THE WHISTLE."—¦A very good story is told of an acquaintance of ours,a commercial traveller who was passing through thecounty Monaghan some short time since. Hetook up his qunrters, it seems, at a certain hotel ,and having comforted his inner man with a gooddinner, a steaming "full flowing bowl," and some ofthose other good things an hotel can afford, he wasbecome quite merry ; and a young lady, connectedwith the establishment, happening to come into theroom in which he was, nothing would satisfy our gen-tleman but a kiss. As he was rather a well facedyoung fellow and respectable, the fair one was notvery loth ; modesty, however, would not permit herto give it without a struggle. In this struggle, adrawer containing a number of china articles waspulled to the floor and the contents shattered to frag-ments. The accident elicited an " oh, dear I seewhat I've done " from the gallant, and a response of" no harm dune " from the lady, and so the matterdropped nt the time. On glancing his eyes alongthe several items of the bill presented next morning,how must he havo stared on discovering " for chinabroken "—five pounds. He demurred , but in theend paid. Just at that instan t the mischievous fairone thrust in her head and asked him if he wouldhave a kiss. Bowing low and politely he declined itat the price.— [Armagh Guardian.]

SKETCHES OF THE PRESIDENT AND VICEPRESIDENT.

The President (Franklin Pierce) was horn at Hills-borough, New Hampshire, in the year 1804. He isa son of the late Governor Benjamin Pierce, and isnow forty-nine years, being the youngest man whohas yet been elected to the Presidency. After com-pleting his academical studies, he entered BowdoinCollege, Maine. Having graduated at that institu-tion , he studied law, was admitted to the bar, andcommenced practice in his native town. Within twoyears he was elected to the Legislature, and, duringhis second year's service he was chosen Speaker ofthe House of Representatives of New Hampshire.In 1832 he was elected to Congress, and took hisseat as a member of the House in 1833. During thefour years he remained in that body he was a steadysupporter of the democratic administration of Gene-ral Jackson , but, being modest and unassuming,seldom distinguished himself in debate. In 1837 hewns transferred to the Senate of the United States,but resigned his seat in 1842, at the close of thefifth year of bis term, and returned to his professionat Concord. At the bar of New Hampshire he roseto high distinction as an advocate, <md was consideredone of the ablest lawyers in the State. After resum-ing his practice, he declined office , refusing a seat in(he cabinet of President Polk, and offers of nomina-tion for Governor or United States Senator. Whenthe war with Mexico occurred, Mr. Pierce enrolledhimself as a private soldier in the New England regt.but the President sent him a colonel's commission,and afterwards advanced him to the rank of brigadiergeneral in March, 1847. He landed at Vera Cruzon the 28th of June of that year, with a command of2,500 men, and distinguished himself iniseveral of thebuttles which were fought between Vera Cruz andthe city of Mexico. On the return of peace, he re-signed his commission and returned home, where hemet with a cordial and brilliant reception from hisfellow citizens. He was elected a member of theState Convention called to revise the constitution ofNewhampshire, and was chosen President of thatbody. In 1848, he was often mentioned as a candi-date for the Vice-Presidency of the United States,but earnestly resisted all suggestions tending to anomination. In January, 1852, the DemocraticState Convention at Concord unanimously presentedhis name as a candidate for President of the UnitedStates ; but in a letter to his friend,JJMr. Atherton ,on the 12th Jan., General Pierce thus expressed him-self in declining the intended honor—" The samemotives which induced me several years ago to re-tire to private life, impel me to say that the use of myname, in any event, before the Democratic NationalConvention at Baltimore, to which you are delegate,would be utterly repugnant to my tastes and wishes."

We deem it unnecessary to repeat here the wellknown circumstances which led to the nominationand subsequent trumphant election of General Pierceto the high office he did not seek, but which thepeople have, notwithstanding, conferred upon him,and the responsibilities of which, now devolve uponhim.

THE MODE OF LEVYING THE INCOME-TAX.

" The mode of levying the income tax may bethus stated. A notice is served on the party to beassessed, requiring him to give a return of his incometo the government officers. The government officersexamine the statement, and if they are not satisfiedthey notify to the party that he is assessed at suchhigher sum as their private inf ormation suggests.From this he may appeal to the general body of theIncome Tax Commissioners, whose decision is final.If the party does not desire a scrutiny of his books,he accepts the amusement of the official , and paysthe sum demanded. The Commissioners cannotcompel a man to produce his books, but they can de-mand any sum they like as income tax, and coercethe trader to produce his hooks under the largepenalty so fixed.

PARLIAMENTARY PRO-CEEDINGS.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—THURSDAY.

The SPEAKER announced that the petitions againstthe returns for the county of Dublin and London-derry had been .abandoned.

THE BUDGET ADJOURNED DEBATE.Mr. COBDEN resumed the adjourned debate by

complaining of the manner in which the surplus hadbeen diposed of. Since 1851 no less than £1,870,000had been added, to the military and navy expenditure.Now, had this increase not been made, the housecould have accomplished all the remissions proposedwithout making any increase to the taxation of thecountry (hear, hear). In principle the income taxwas sound, and although it had been somewhat un-equal in its operation, ne could not help thinkingthat the present proposal of the government was bothbold and honest. If we could get rid of some of itsinequalities, since its continuance was to be madethe "foundation of remitting such obnoxious taxes asthe tea and soap duties, he had no other course leftopen to him but to support the budget in all its in-tegrity. He y ies prepared to carry the income taxdown to the lowest point at which it could be profit-ably collected—viz., an income of £100 a-year ;but, before such a tax could be made universal, thesystem of excise must be abolished. Now, of lateyears, great pretensions had been madein that direction , but what was the fact 1 Why in1831, before the Reform Bill, the income from ex-cise amounted to £35,680,000, while in the presentyear the receipts from excise was esti-matedat £35,320,000, so that after all, there hadbeen a remission of taxes under the head of exciseduring that period only amounting to £36,000 (hear,hear). He was for extending the income tax to Ire-land, because he thought that all sections of [herMajesty's dominions should be taxed alike.—Ad-journed.

HOUSE OF LORDS—FRIDAY.CANADA CLERGY RESERVES BILL.

The Duke of N EWCASTLE moved the second read-ing of this bill, and gave a sketch of the origin ofthose reserves, and of their history down to the ar-rangement of the year 1840.

After speeches from Lord Derby and Lord Grey,the bill was read a second time.

The House adjourned at eleven o'clock.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—FRIDAY.MAIDSTONE ELECTION.

Mr. HUTT reported that the Moidstone ElectionCommittee had determined that George Dodd, Esq.,was not duly elected.

THE CUSTOMS DEPARTMENT.Mr. WILSON, in reply to a question from Mr. W.

Brown said that he omitted last night to state the in-tention of the Government with respect to the clas-sification of the outports. It was intended to abolishthe present system altogether, and to have no spe-cial classification , but to deal with each port fromtime to time according to circumstances, taking intoaccount the amount of trade in connection with itand the amount of revenue levied thereat. The sa-laries of the officers and the different charges con-nected with them would be fixed in future in referenceto the circumstances of the port, and not in referenceto any general classification.

BILLS.The Taxing Officer Common Law Business (Ire

land) bill was read a second time. The second reading of the Educational bill was appointed f or Monday se'nnight.

THE BUDGET ADJOURNED DEBATE.The house resolved itself into Committee of Ways

and Means, andMr. MOORF, resumed the adjourned debate with an

expression of surprise at the various and altogethercontradictory grounds on which gentlemen in favourof the budget had based their arguments for support-ing it, and at the remarkable unanimity with whichthey had agreed to one thing—in an utter dissentfrom the views of the Chancellor of the Exchequer inproposing that budget which, nevertheless, for rea-sons of their own, they supported. The legacy duty,he imagined, was what had attracted the majority ofthem. As to the income tax being only for sevenyears, seven years was a little eternity in finance,and the very Chancellor of the Exchequer who con-fessed the faults, the inequalities, and the inquisito-rial character of this tax, yet askel them to submitto it so long, not as a great necessity, but only toenable them to repeal other taxes to which the righthon. gentleman could not, in principle, see any ob-jectio ns. In England the question was simply acomparison and a balancing of the advantages anddisadvantages of the income tax and of those taxeswhich its imposition would allow the right hon. gen-tleman to remit. In Ireland there was no such gra-tify ing embarrassment, the question there being,whether they should be taxed more in order that wemight be taxed less (laughter) ; and because theyventured to demur to the operation , they had beenassailed by the press in language which he regrettedshould have been pressed into the service. He re-collected hearing of the students of Dublin hissing apatient because he declined a very severe but curiousoperation they proposed , and that seemed to be theposition of those who found fault with Ireland. Theywere called factious and dishonest ; and as to " fac-tious," that was a phrase used by every party thatwas in to every piirty that was out. But as to " dis-honesty," that was a serious charge, which English-men would not make unless they were very selfishor very much in a passion. He thought writerswho used this language might have 'supplementary 'reasons for so doing (laughter) ; and whatever cameof the budget, he was sure it would be the generalopinion that it ought to be pruned of one excres-cence ; that Cassar's wife ought to be above suspi-cion. As regarded the subject of the Irish incometax it had been obscured by two questions beingjumbled together, which should have been kept dis-tinct, namely, whether Ireland was now sufficientl ytaxed, and whether she would, or would not, have hertaxation increased by the adoption of the Chancellorof the Exchequer 's proposal ? It appeared to himthat the proposition of the late Government was, inrespect to pounds, shillings, and pence, precisely thesame as that propounded by the present Government,so far as related to the imposition of the income tax.The late Chancellor of the Exchequer proposed toextend it to Ireland partially. The present Chancel-lor of the Exchequer, in extending it, gave what hecalled compensation. But if he proposed the exten-sion of the income tax as a matter of justice, the re-mission of the Consolidated Annuities had nothingto do with the matter (hear, hear.) He would en-deavour to show that Ireland would be taxed moreby the present budget that it was at present. 1 hehon. member for Carlow admitted that Ireland wouldbe called upon to pay some paltry £350,000,which, multiplied by seven years, would he saidamount to abount to £2,500,000 ; but he contendedthat that country would gain £1,500,000 by thetransaction. Now, whether the income tax would berepealed at the end of7years had nothing to do with thequestion . The question under consideration was the re-adjustment of the burdens of a taxation between thetwo countries; and if he (Mr. Moore) could provethat the balance, the proportion which subsisted eversince the union, would now be altered to the debitor loss of Ireland, to the extent of £300,000 or£400,000, it would not matter whether the incometax should be taken off at the end of seven years orto-morrow. The whole amoun t of the remission toIreland would be £564,287. The income tax was

standes, and of which it would, take, years to get nd.Ireland was not only sustaining the pauperism whicharose from day to day, but the pauperism bequeathedto her by the famine, which was now in' the gradualprocess of absorption/ but which it would take manyyears to absorb. Now, if the income tax was intendedto be permanent, perhaps bio argument on; this pointwould not have much application, but to place a tem-porary tax on a country labouring under such pecu-liar difficulties did not show either political wisdomor financial justice (hear, hear.) But there wasanother circumstance, beyond and above all others,to which he wished to direct the attention of thehouse and that was the ground on which the incometax was advocated-the'repeal of the corn laws and thepromotion of free trade. According to the Chan-cellor of the Exchequer, Sir Robert Peel called onthe giant which had shielded us in the war to protectus in peace, and in his hand the income tax effectedpermanent and beneficial results to the communityat large. Ireland, however, had reaped the smallestshare of the benefit (hear, hear.) But to whose as-sistance was it owing that hon. gentlemen on theMinisterial side of the house were enabled to advancethe question of free trade by many years ? If theIrish members, actuated by short-sighted selfishness,had joined the opposition to Sir Robert Peel's mea-suTe, how long might these laws have been re-tained ? And yet the hon. member for the WestRiding, with an ingratitude scarcely ever before ex-perienced, declared that the Irish members hadnever shown at any time the slightest sympathywith the struggles of the people of England (hear,hear.) Now, he should like the hon. member to puthis finger on any one measure calculated to extendand enlarge the rights and liberties of the people ofEngland which the liberal members for Ireland didnot sustain and support (hear hear.) There weresome hearts so callous that they never knew thevalue of their friends until they were Io3t. Perhapsthey might yet be able to teach that hon. gentlemansuch a lesson, and bring him to his knees, as theyhad before brought prouder and better men (laugh-ter, oh, oh, and near, hear.) The question to be de-cided was this—whether a burden of £300,000was to be shifted from the shoulders of theEnglish people, in the day of their healthand prosperity, in order to place it on Irelandin the crisis of her misery (cheers.) That was aquestion which he should have no hesitation in put-ting to a jury of honourable and generous English-men, not influenced by the fears of a division, andnot supporting a budget as a whole (hear, hear).—But there were Irish members whose duty it was todecide upon the question , and if to-night Irelandwas to be roasted before the financial grate of theChancellor of the Exchequer, Irishmen, as usual,would have to turn the spit (cheers and laughter) .—The honourable member for Carlow had distin-guished himself by his industry and courage in avery remarkable manner. There was an old Scotchclan, which it was said never deserted its chief whe-ther for right or for wrong ; and in that chivalry thehon. member had certainly won his spurs (laughter).The hon. gentleman had certainly shown great cou-rage the other night in venturing to express his sus-picions of the motives of others, after the melancholyexposure which he had a f ew nights before made ofhis own. He had the greatest admiration for thetalents of the hon. gentleman, but his country hadyet to leam anything that he had done, or said , orwritten , which entitled him to look down with anair of superiority on the intellectual capacity of anymember of that house (hear, hear, and laughter).—If the loss of this question was to involve a dissolu-tion , he must say that he thought certain hon. gen-tlemen were wise in their generation in endeavoringto keep the government in office (laughter.) Theparliamentary life of a great number of hon. mem-bers belonged to the present parliament, and, likethe " busy bee" they were quite right in employing" each shining hour" (cheers and laughter). It hadbeen said that the change proposed with respect tothe Consolidated Annuities would effect a great sav-ing to the poor farmers. But those to whom he hadspoken cared nothing about the alteration. Andwhy ? The answer might be given in the words ofthe hon. member for the West Riding. When thelate Chancellor of the Exchequer proposed a remis-sion of the burdens upon land in England, the hon.member for the West Riding said the tenants hadnothing to do with the question—that it was one en-tirely for the landlords. If that was true with res-pect to England, it was true also with respect to Ire-land (hear, hear). The people of Ireland were in-difl'ereDt about the Consolidated Annuities. Butsupposing the tenants to gain £50,000 a year out ofthe £150,000, were they on that account to be taxedto the amount of half a. million (hear, hear) ? TheIrish people were now watching over their libertiesand honour, and if a dissolution should occur, manyhon. members would be found shaking in their shoes—(laughter). This was. the last Parliament in whichthey would permit their liberties to be trampled upon(cheers).

Mr. JOHN BALL said, as the honourable memberhad thought proper to attack him (cries of " spoke,spoke"), and as he understood another honourablegentleman intended to do so (spoke, spoke)—he didnot desire to waste the time of the committee, buttrusted that he might be allowed to say one word(hear, hear, and oh, oh). It was somewhat remark-able, and not very creditable, that when Irishmendiffered in opinion, they generally thought it neces-sary to indulge in personal insinuations (hear, hear,and oh oh), and to impute base motives to thosewho differed from them (spoke, spoke). If he couldcondescen d to imitate the tone of the honourable gen-tleman who had just addressed the house, he perhapsmight succeed in saying disagreeable and inoffensivethings, he might succeed in inventing imputations(hear, hear, and oh >oh). He would simply saythis—he was of course unknown to the greatmajorityof the house (hear, hear, and laughter). But altho'unknown, he believed, the humblest member wasentitled to defend his personal honour (cheers).—Although unknown to the house he was content toallow time to settle the question so far as he wasconcerned. He would allow hon. gentlemen to sayas offensive and as disagreeable things as possible.—He would allow their speeehes to go over to Ireland,and was satisfied that they would not have theslightest effect , so far as he was concerned (hear,hear, and oh).

Mr. MACQREGOR opposed the Budget for a num-ber of reasons.

Mr. HERBERT supported the Budget and abusedMr. Moore.

On the motion of Sir W. CLAY the debate wasagain adjourned.

Lord J. RUSSELL expressed a hope that it mightbe terminated on Monday.

Mr. DISRAKLI thought there was every probabilityof coming to a division on Monday.

On the motion of Mr. FITZROY , the aggravatedAssaults Bill was read a third time and passed.

DEVELOPMENT OP THE LUNGS .—Much has beensaid and written upon diet, eating and drinking ; butI do not recollect ever noting a remark in any writerupon breathing or the manner of breathing. Multi-tudes, and especially ladies in easy circumstances,contract a destructive mode of breathing. Theysuppress their breathing and contract the habit ofshort, quick breathing, not carrying half way downthe chest, and scarcely expanding the lower portionsof the chest at all. Lacing the bottom of the chestalso greatly increases this evil, and confirms a badhabit of breathing. Children that move about agood deal in the open air, and in no way laced,breathe deep and full in the chest, and every part ofit. So also with most out-door labourers ana per-sons who take a good deal of exercise in the openair, because the lungs give us the power of action ;and the more exercise we take, especially out ofdoors, the larger the lungs become, and the less

THE BUDGET—MR. MEAGHER, M. P.In fact, toss the fi gures up in any way you please,

I defy you to make anything out of the parentscheme but robbery under the pretence of remission,and extortion under the affectation of benevolence.This I know to be the view taken of it by men whohave no object to gain, and no places to seek for,and who are perfectly independent of the favoursand the blandishments of ministers. What, for ex-ample, but a sense of. public duty could influencesuch men as THOMAS M^AOHER of Waterford, andJOHN THOMAS DEVERE UX , of Wexford?—and thesemen declared their hostility to the budget the mo-ment it was placed before the house, and the grossinjustice to their country was made manifest. Imention these men, because they are utterly freefrom personal ambition , and high above the teachof the malignant calumniator. They have but oneobject in view, the faithful discharge of their duty,which they believe they can best accomplish by toepreservation of their personal independence.
