      THURSDAY , MARCH 2 . The bnisiness in both houses was of 3 miscellaneous and routine character . Xone ' of the subjects discussed were of sufficient importance to warrant a separate " notice in the crowded state of oar columns . In the Commons , inieed , the majority of the motions ended bj their being withdrawn or postponed for farther consideration , and the House adjourned at 10 o ' clock .

      ( From our Third Edition of lust weei . ) FRIDAY , Makch , 3 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —Iki « h Poos Law . — Earl Pitzwillijh in reference to the working of the Irish poor-law stated , that the popr of that country were maintained en the miserable pittance of fivepeace tkiee farthings a wtek ; it was therefore impossible to suppose that the law would tither be effectual there , or relieve ttis country ; nroa ihe icfl : is of Irish paupers while the shbx paid for their subsistence would not maintain life , althouzh it might protract existence .

      The CtESGT and Edcc * tios . —The occasion of Lira Ltttlltos ' s presenting a petition from the Diocesan Board if Edacsti&n on the ssbject of ihe management clauses required by the eainodttee of the privy council to be inserted in the trust deeds of schools re . ceiving aid from parliamentary grants , led to 3 discus sion , the B sfcop of Worcester complained ef the manner in which ' -he petition had bsen got up , notice net fearing bssn jjivtn to all the members of the board in question . Xothing was more reasonable than that laymen who contributed towards these grants should have a shar-3 in their maaa ^ f ment .

      Tse Marquis t-f Lassdowse said it was oaly of late tha : anything bad been heard about tbe exclusion of the laity from a share in the management , and the aid given to the National Sooi' -ty had been on the understanding that the clauses aw complained of were to be the terms of union . He could not admit the principle , therefore , that the clergy should have the power of overruling the Opinions of the the lay managers . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Ikcohe Tax . —The Chah-CSLtos of the Exchequeb , having moved the order of the day for ; oiug into cosamittee of Ways and Means , oh the Income tsi resolutisns , Mr Uosshan moved , that if the lucerne tas be continued , it is expedient to amend the act , and not to impose the same charge on incomes arUini from professional anfl precarious sources , as on

      those derived from reel property . The honourable member coneludtd a powerful speech illustrative of the hsr' 6 h : p aad injusfce of the present tar , by announcing bis flan to D 3 t 0 retain the same number of schedules as in the present act , but to cast them differently . Inconies arising from profession ? as would take from EcbciuleD and place in schedule E , which referred to internes aiso of a precarious and terminable nature , " viz ., e ^ olumea is arising from public offices , leaving ' D ' entire ly for incomes arising from trace , commerce , and mr . TTdfactor eg . And ths scaly of tax he wouto then propose would be as follows : —Oa incomes included in zcaenu ' . es A aad C he propused aa addition of one punrsy to the present rate of tax , making eight-pence in the pound . On iecomes wLich wonld be included in

      schedule E , viz ., professions : tud emoluments from public cSks he proposed tbat the tax should be four-pence in the f oaud ; and u ; ' 0 n incomes included in shedule D , viz ., trade , commerce , ifcc , he proposed the intermediate raterf sixpence in the ponnd , leaving B as at present . By this slight increase on sch-dule A , they would relieve sli ths other clashes , and raise a revenue Bore than equal to that derived from the tax , end without those very vexatious objections to which the iiepost , aa now Icvitd , was liable . This srrangeniriH gave = total , according to his calculation , of £ 3 , 551 . , iiisttEdof £ 5 , 600 , 000 , which had been tbe produce ( if the tij for tbe la = t ytar ; but ministers calculated in ttnir badget for ihz cnsuiiigyear that the tax would produce only £ 5 , 200 , 000 . His

      proposition rroaid , at ali trtnt ? , fai ! more equally on the several classes of iccoiae than the present , and ha believsd the scale he proposed was so far just , that it iB £ de a difference between those incomes which were permanent , and which represented accumulated capital— those winch represented labour acd skill only . It had also this recommendation , thit it would relieve those vrho were most oppres = ed by the tax , as now imposed , while tfee only additional harden which TreuM be thrown upon any cla = 3 was the extra penny in the pound on psrmanent UicoiUis—a burien which he belisved vrouid be cheaply pnrckased by tb « large amount ofrelief it would eive to oth ^ rclasses , the satisfaction

      with which the change would be received by the country generally , and the ease with which ihe tax Konld be eol ' eeted .

      THE GUIZOT OF ENGLAND AND THE MEN OF LONDON . A glance at our columns will suffice to show that the promise held out by the great Metropolitan Meeting in the Westminster Itoad , last week , was not a vague and idle assertion . A series of glorious meetings has since been held , the object of which will be to organise the Chartist party in the Metropolis , and enable them to feel their strength . This is a beginning , and a practical measure ; the next step will be the bringing that power to bear upon a corrupt and miserably weak Government . These meetings have , however , been attended with remarkable and lamentable circumstances , showing the bad spirit of that Government , and the brutality of its minor executive . As will be seen in another part of our paper , Mr Charles Cochrane called a meeting in Trafalgar-square against the Income Tax , and on being told by the Government , who had rummaged an old lumber-box of legislative folly to find an obsolete Act of unmeaning nonsense , that a meeting in Trafalgar-square was illegal , Mr Cochrane never attended the meeting he had called , but sent some placards instead , telling the meeting , after they had assembled , to disperse . The people were naturally indignant at such treatmen , considering that Mr ( Jochrane ought not to have exempted himself from the responsibility he had brought on them , and ought at least to have acted as placard in person , when fie might have obviated the danger he shrunk from , by taking the meeting to another part of town , less objectionable to West-End aristocratic squeamishness .

      The public , however , were determined not to come together for nothing , and consequently elected a chairman , and several speakers addressed the meeting . The Chartist Executive took no part in these proceedings , yet resolutions for the Charter were unanimously adopted , by the spontaneous feeling of the public . Everything proceeded with the greatest order and decorum , and the meeting was dissolved and dispersing , when a well-fed man began to taunt the people with idleness and laziness , telling them they had all the liberty they deserved . On this insult being resented , the police—who were ready at hand—made an unprovoked and indiscriminate onslaught . Even children were struck and wounded , and we have since learned , that besides " those mentioned in our report , a woman , in mourning , had her head laid open by a Policeman ' s truncheon , and has been conveyed in an almost hopeless state to the Hospital . Now , we beg our readers to mark these circumstances well . A system of terrorism is evidently aimed at . Our Government mean to adopt an opposite course from that of France . Guizot permitted forty-seven banquets , and stopped them when too late . RUSSELL , the Guizot of England , thinks he will nip English demonstrations in the bud . An enemy of Chartism must have sent the " sleek man" to the meeting at Trafalgar-square to disturb it , and afford a pretext for police interference- Certain ( hieves then took advantage of the disturbance , CREATED BY THE POLICE , to commit depredations—and the howling pack of the Press seizes on this to invei g h against the " Chartist rabble . " Endeavours , again , to raise the idle cry of " destruction "—• thus to injure , by these lies , the moral force of the movement , while terrorism is to paralyse its physical force . Verily , Russell is far cleverer than Guizot . But this will notdo . The Executive have put forth a placard disclaiming the disorderly proceedings alluded to , and those ' proceedings reveal of themselves the quarter from whence they came . While the Chartists are there , all is peaceable ; when they leave , the minions of faction are at work , troubling , with their puny efforts , the great waters of Democracy . Thus , their lies will recoil on their own heads . And , as te terrorism , we laugh it to scorn We dare the despicable Wings to do their worst . We dare them to interfere with the right of Englishmen to meet in public to discuss their grievances . We challenge them , at their peril , to infringe our liberties . If they do , their miserable faction will be swept from power , as effectually as a hurricane whirls the dry leaves of autumn .

      instead ot thus preventing , open-air meetings , the Chartists have themselves called two such meetings since the police outrage of Trafalgarsquare . At both tbe conduct of the Chartists was exemplary in the extreme—while their imposing numbers would have mocked resistance had tliey intended violence . These meetings will not , and must not , cease—and they must gather each time in strength and discipline , so that , when the Convention meets on the 3 rd of April , it may find London PREPARED TO RECEIVE IT , and to lend weight to its deliberations and resolves . Let the public rest assured these meetings shall not be mere noise and spouting—practical and constitutional action will , ere long , be demanded at the hands of the people—and they must prepare their minds and affirm their determination . With reference to the Press that has designated a meeting of ] 5 , 000 as a " rabble of three hundred" —which , taunts them with being " houseless vagabonds "—which laughs "that their apparent squalor increases every hour "we can only say , that it would be more becoming if its prostituted columns would show them some means of obtaining honse 3 and regaining health ; and we tell that venal Px-ess , that a grave responsibility attaches to it , if it succeeds in making the governing class believe that the people are the lovers of mischief and destruction , and that their political power is

      weak and utterly inefficacious . It is doing its rich emp loyers a sorry service . They will wake one day to their " grand mistake ' when it is too late , and bitterly curse that Press which deceived them as to the real power and character of the People . It oug ht to conciliate instead of irritatingit ought to act as the mediator instead of the exciter . As one effect , perhaps , of this silly and suicidical policy of the Press , the contempt may be considered with which Mr Monckton Milnes ' s observations in the House on the Trafalgar-square meeting , were received . He , too , paid a just tribute to that meeting , by saying : —

      It proceeded quiet and T peaceably till after a namber of speakers had been heard , bting oonduoted with psrfeot decorum and tranquillity on the part of the people . After the speakers coased , and the meetiag to nil appearanco wob about to disperse , a collision took place between tb . 8 police and the people , which had resulted in soma Tory jraTe consequences . ( P « oh t Pooh !) Ha wished to auk the right hon . gentleman what were the instructions « ivtn to the poliae t ( Laughter , and cries of 'Oh , oh ! ' ) Sir O . Gee * said : Ho was not aware that any graver consequences had ensued than tbe breaking of soms lamps and windows in a disturbance . Sir O . Grey , of course counts as nothing the number of bleeding and wounded victims I the children and the women struck by the police , and carried insensible to the hospitals , and lingering in danger . The answer was that of a Whig ; and the " Pooh ! Pooh ! " and » Laughter'' of the legislative wisdom of the country was worthy of a Middle Class

      Parliament Englishmen ! how long will you tolerate such a Government , and groan under such a system . No wonder that the cries of Paris are finding an echo in the streets of London , Glasgow , Edinburgh , and Manchester ; and that Great Britain should pant after the liberty of France .

      PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW . The financial incompetency of the Party in power , becomes more obvious as the debates on the Budget proceed . They may appropriate the exclamation of the foreigner when he tumbled into the water , " We will be drowned , and nobody shall help us . " Mr Horsman , one of their own friends , and formerly a Lord of the Treasury , considerately came to their rescue on the question of the Income Tax , and propounded a measure with reference to it , which certainly bore the impress of thought ¦

      and careful calculation , and , had it been adopted , would have removed some of the most palpable inequalities of the present tax . But the Chancellor of the Exchequer pooh-poohed the plan in the most cavalier style . The impudence and almost arrogance of his manner , was only matched by the utter absence of logic , f act , and common sense , in his matter . He hail always opposed the Income Tax , but if we were to have it , he thought it was better it should be in its present — that is , the most objectionable shape in which it could be levied ; therefore , as

      he cannot do without it , no alteration is to take place . As to the inequality of the present Tax , Sir Chailes Wood considers that rather a merit than otherwise . Our whole system of Taxation is full of inequalities , and one inequality balances another so nicely , that the jackass is , upon the whole , prett y fairly loaded with the panniers he has to carry . Such is a specimen of the political and financial reasoning of the precious ninny by whom the good people of Halifax are misrepresented , and the country at large injured and plundered . It is curious to remark , however ,

      the manner in . which the old stagers of office fraternise with and help each other in any effort for keeping their hands in the pockets of the tax-payers . Mr Goulburn , ex-Chancellor , was among the first to come to the help of his successor ; and , in fact , supplied him with the little in his speech bearing the semblance of arguments . Mr Goulburn himself is , however , much more enthusiasticin his admiration of the tax than Sir Charles Wood . He absolutely went the length of declaring- that he was in love with it ! There is no accounting for tastes , but that certainly seems to us the strangest affection we ever before heard of !

      With respect to Mr Horsman ' s plan oflevying ' . eightpence in the pound on incomes derived from realised property ; sixpence on incomes from the funds and certain occupations ; aniLfourpence in the pound ) upon professional and trading incomes ; there can be no doubt whatever , that if we are to have an Income Tax at all , it was an immense improvement upon the present mode of levying the tax , and whether it be renewed for one , or tor three years , would have been felt as a boon by the struggling classes , upon whom the burdens falls with the greatest pressure . But

      feeling that any tax upon income is indefensible in principle , and that realised property is the legitimate subject of direct taxation , we think that ought to have been raised as a previous question . It may be said that by this means many who live in good positions and are able to pay , would escape taxation . We do not admit the argument . Every prudent man in the middle and professional classes who has a family to provide for , will live under his income j the surplus / whatever iit may be , must , in order ti > be profitable , be invested in some way or other , to yield a per centage , and the

      moment his earnings assume that tangible shape , they come within the sphere of a property tax . An Income Tax , on the other hand , either presses on the capital and means of the trader , hampers him in his business , and thus fetlers industry ; or , it takes away from a large class of struggling , hard-worked persons , the few pounds which ought to go to the Insurance Office , to provide a trifle for their families in case of their own death , and the consequent total loss of the income earned by their skill and intelligence . The Government triumphed over Mr Horsman , although 143 members were found to vote for his certainly more equitable

      plan . The fight was renewed on another ground by Mr Hume , on the next occasion when the Budget came under notice . That veteran Economist proposed that the tax as it existed should be renewed for one year only , in order to give time to the Government to revise our whole system of taxation , and effect decided reductions , as well as propose a new and more equitable system . The Chancellor of the Exchequer opposed this reasonable proposition . With less than three years he will not be content ; and as to making any very close investigation of the present estimates , why that cannot be done in the hurry of business When " the hurrr of businfiss ' ' is over .

      he will look into the matter , if possible . Now , if we understand anything of the " business" of a Chancellor of the Exchequer at all , it is to prepare these estimates , and superintend the collection of the taxes agreed to by the Legislature . Why did he not , before " the hurry of business ' came on , have his work read y in a workmanlike fashion ? If he gets the tax for three years , we much fear that , with the indolent habits of office , we shall find at the end of that term , he will be as far from having donehis duty as he is at present . On" Mondav evening , he > ad , however , the support of Sir R . Peel , who spoke one column in defence of

      the Income-tax , and two columns in defence of his Commercial policy , and his letter to the people of Blbingen , of which he gave a new version , and contended that it harmonised with all he had stated in the House , and , therefore , was no revelation of an intended new system of taxation , as people said it was . LordG . Benti « ck made a fierce onslaught upon the Tamworth baronet , > d , by reference to the present condition of the manufacturing operatives of this country , showed that so Mr that Urnmercial policy had proved anything but a blessing to them . Lord George spoke inside what many people say outside of Parliament . Free-trade is vevy ' generaUy coming to on known as a humbug , and , ere long , we have no doubt thatjits uttertfailure to realise' anything like employment subsistence , or " com-

      the whole sitting in committee on the Roman Catholic Relief Bill , and , indeed , the week has been destitute of any feature , either of novelty or importance , —a fact which happily relieves us from the necessity of inflicting a long commentary upon a mere Caput mortuum at a time when all minds are vividly and fervently occupied with the great and exciting events in France ; and the occurrences in London , Edinburgh , Glasgow , and Ma nchester attest the restless heaving- of the elements under our own political and social system .

Mr M'Kat , Cumnock . —The Nokihibn Stab is charged 5 s . 6 d . per quarter , in adTance . To Depositoes in Saving Banks . —Sir , —1 think if there was a circular of the Banking system extracted from the last Lauodbeb , and published at about one shilling or eighteen pence per hundred , to distribute amongst the depositors in Savings' Banks ( and addressed to thorn ) , it would extond the knowledge of both the Laud Plan , and the Bank more widely than it is , as there are yet vast numbors of people who do not look at the Star , but who might be induced to read something

      short ann plum , and to their advantage , us the Bank would afferd to them . The different districts might subscribe according to their m . ans , for the purpose of circulating them amongst those who they know to bo depositors in Savings' Banks , and thus both benefit the depositors themselves , and the Land Company . If the suggestion j ? worthy of notice , you may , perhaps , f ind a corner in your journal to insert in , —J , D . To the Editor of the Nobthebn Stab . —Sis ,- If you think the following worthy a corner in your journal , it is at your service . Last spring I planted thirty-sis large potatoes , one yard apart each way , twenty-four c < ips and twelve prince regents ; the cups produced 151 lbs . and the prince regents , 7 libs ., total , 2 ^ 1 bs . I measured off the same quantity of ground , in the Bame field , that was planted with the plough ; the drills were twentj-seven

      inches in breadth , and the potatoes middling sized , and p lanted whole , fifteen in the drill : the twenty-four yards of cups produced 1751 bs ., the twelve yards of prince regents Sllbs ., total , 25 Glbs , being 341 bs . more than those which were planted one yard apart each way . The conclusion that I haTe come to is this , that a yard is not too mueh between the rows , but , that e ' ghteen or twenty four inches are enough in the row . Mr Wolly will see , by the above statement , tbat over fifteen tons can be produced from an English acre of a very middling soil , for if thirty-six yards produce 2561 bs , 4 , 840 yards will produce 31 , 417 , 7771 bs , which are 15 tons 1 cwt ., and I am of opinion that , if it was well cultivated , it would produce a great deal more . —Chas Faibninqton , gardener , Middleton , near Leeds . — March 5 .
