The other propositions made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in this Budget were a further reduction of two pence por pound on foreign coffee making it for the future ponce per pound in stead of wight ponce,
pence reducing the duty on ɑrown Glass from two pence par 1b, to three farthings, repealing the duties on Vinegar and on the Impor ntion of Cheeps Wool, and a reduction of day in Marine insurances. Altogether he estimated that theen alterations would cause loss to the revenue of £100,000 In the course of the duction that followed it was pretty clearly intimated that the Property and Income Tax would not be pealed next year, but that it would be continued if possible for two years further, and that probably extensive alterations in the duties on consumable articles would be proposed as an equivalent thereto One other point of considerabia importance.in the British laterosis in your vicinity has been ra nonuced namely that the Court of Director's of the East India Company had determined upon realing Lord Ellenborough from the Government of India. This was stated in the two houses of Parliament by the Ministerial lenders in reply to questions put to them on the subject, with the ad. dition that the proceeding was spit out the sance tion of Government The first announcement was followed up by a request for information upon the subject, and the production of the correspon dence which had taken place between the Board of Control and the East India Directors. The Duke of Wellington in reply stated there was no doubt that the Court of Directors undir, the act of Parliament possessed the power of recalling the Governor General and they had submitted to the Government their reasons for the measure they have adopted these reasons the Ministers did not consider valid and theafore remonstrated against the measure. He considered it very indiscreet, in The Parliamentary Intelligenon will be found to the Court of Directors to baye taken this course, contain several topics of interest, the most impor-ho believed it was the first time since the establish taut of which to your locality is the announcement
