One of the moat enlightened men of hi day, a gentleman who had written with much abi lity any in ue lana, ana who had proved himself to be well acquainted with the condition of the countrv an that ever lived meant the right hon. baronet the Secretary of State for the Home Department had made a statement in thi respect which he believed wu under rather than over the mark, ne uid that in 1312 the amount of taxation wu C1.2H0.0. the Price of rnU waa in 1S13 the amount cf taxation was T3.000.OjV.

gentleman opposite had described a tax, the amonnt would be more than making altogether a taxation of on the people of this country, independently of the large amount paid to Dissenting and Catholic clergymen for the maintenance of places of worship, schools, ic. The bulk of that wu paid by a population of for with all her complaints, Ireland wu much better off than England with regard to taxation, The taxation of Ireland did not amount to one twelfth of the whole taxation of the empire. The taxation of France amounted to very little more than SO.OOO.OOOL, out of which, besides the payment of all the public taxes, the clergy were paid and all those taxes which, in this country, came within the range of local taxation. Huch wu the disproportion between the taxation of England and that of other countries and, in order to exact this vut amount from the toil and the west of the brow of the labouring milliout, it in necessary to maintain a Urge standing army and a military police for, without such aid, it never could be collected. And that army had been very much increased; In 1SJ2 the amy, independent of the Artillery and some other corps, amounted to 91, 7 men.

In the last year there were to.Hl men. At the commencement of the session the Government told Parliament that they would reduce it by 5,700 men ud yet, before the close, they came uown with a bill to add 10,000 to the number an attempt, in short, to create a permanent military force (hear), answering to the Pnrtoriu guard of the Roman empire. (A Iauzb 1 He did not mean to sav that the Government intended this when they came down with the proposition but they liad established the principle by the bill for enrolling the Chelsea pensioners, and they might depend upon it, that some of their successor would one day carTT out the principle to the ertabtishment of a permanent military force. They could to morrow, if they liked, discharge to the extent of 10,000 of the Life or Foot Guards, placing them on half pay, ud call them the next day into service under the bill referred to. hear.) The addition of these 10,000 men made the military force, at (he beginning of the present year and that, too, on a peace establishment no less th in 139,1 51 men, or 30,700 more than the number of men in the latt year before the pawing of the Reform Bill, under the old boroughmongering Parliament.

(Hear, hear.) Now, it wu of such things these that the people complained oppressions and grievances. They would not endure them long. The whole system of taxation was partial and unjust. Thone win imposed the taxe always took caresf themselves and the order they belonged to. There wu not a more uniust ud partial system taxation on the face of the globe.

All the despotic countries of Europe imposed the great weight of their taxation on the richer cfaase but the lax on band in thi country wu only or out of The great weight of the taxation of thi country wu laid on the necer sarie of life, although, they ha been told by the right hon. baronet opposite hut year.tiiose necessaries were taxed up to the Last penny they would bear. In proof of this he would refer them to the result of the attempt of the late Caancellor of the Exchequer effect of such an inquiry The first effect would be to raise tinte when that newspaper was the best advocate of liberal capcnationi wuicn never coma re gratmed, indeed, which principle tn ui country, wben it supported in an able man utu uuruuiK universal connexion a every question oi rcnoonucai anx raruamenury rerorm; of the folly of the house in agreeing it, (Hear.)
