TAXES IN ENGLAND. The vital mention to G- reat Britain, just Dow. so far as the Gevernm.at is concerned, appears to be, bow shall money be tweed, enough to nivel the wants of the present and future. it s•- as to be .greed that the ower of taxation is exhausted, ;or nearly, an regard to all known and babi'ualsubjects of import ; end ingenuity is taxed (nut meaning anything like a pun) to devise or find mot new backs on lehich to lay the burden. We gore here en extract from a Jong article te a late number of the London Times, in which the exigency of-the-occa- • tern is laid bare with an unflinching- hand.

HURON DISTRICT. , The District of Huron is sijaated between 43 end 44 degrees of oorthermlatitode, and between 81 and 82 degrees western longitude fruur Green- wich. . It is hounded on the North by unsurvey- ed wilderness, on the South by the London and Brock Districts, on the East by the Wellington and Gore Di+pieta, and on the Wast by Lake Iluroo- The whole surveyed taods,of the Dis- trict, with the exception of the townships of Ashfield and Wawonoeh, are patented to the Canada Company, who have had them divided info townships of different sizes and forms ac- cording to the eitcationeend natural divisions of the difierent localities. There are few of the townships quare, as the Huron Tract itself is something like the form of an acute triangle,, of which the Lake is the bypothetwee, and North and South Easuhope the apex or point. At this point the leading road from Hamilton to Gode- {{ rich enter end run. almost in a eitraigbt line, leaving the dept{( of a township Jr( the jj pany's land on the north side- This road i.,, therefore, the south boundary line of the town- ships of North EasthnJ)e, /Ellice, Logan end 1litchell, McKillop, mullet, sad Coleboroe, the northern boundary is ibe Government Land. - Colborne lies epee the Lake shore north of O"ekrieh, the Maitland ricer being the division between them. It is a small township some- thing of a romboid fiiure, eoetaiaiag 34,339 scree of which only 4,299 are onaold-it is in general • good .oil sod well watered. Its pre - erne population is 547, among whom are a num- ber of wealthy and intelligent farmers. Bullet lies .long the east or southeast side of Colborne. it contains 53,818 scree, 42,806 of which are an - .01d. A branch of the Maitland winds through it, it is but thinly inhabited, the population be- ing only 264. McKillop lies on the east side of Bullet, is an oblong square, containing 53,841 acres, d which 42,022 are unsold, the number of inhabitants is 397. Logan is the nett town- ship eastward, itis the same in form as McKillop but a bole larger, its contents being 54,488 acres, of which 40,780 are yet unsold, the land is good and is intersected by numerous stream*, its population is 248. Ellice is nen, itis of the mine form, and contain, 55,206 acres, of which 30,053 are unsold, the population is 845. North Eurhnpe is the last township of Huron on this northern range -it is of an indiseribable shape, but contains much good land, and in proportion to intake, has a large population and a propor- tionate amount of spike -its con in ee 43,- 595 arcs, of which 6,079 are unsold, there are ink 1391 inhabitants. it is bounded on the east by the township of Wilmot is the Welling- ton District and the river Avoii parses through the length of it. Smith Easthepe is the smallest and best fettled township in the District- its form is that of • very flat triangle- It is separated from North Easthope by the road from Hamilton to Goderich, corners epee the towsalip of Wil- mot eastward, d i. bnended oo the south by Zoete is the Di t of Brock, and ea the west by the township Downie -it *entates but 24,550 acres, of whieh ocly 2,163 are unsold, its population is 1,115- Downie 1. the seat taws - ship towards Goderieh es the Beeth tide of the leading rood.

We shall, however, teases a little upon the *abject. - There berms to bean error of opinion ihrosgh- oot the civilised world, regarding the right of majorities ; this right is, is fact, nothing more in • multitude of ioetaoces, than the power re- sulting from numbers- But no euperiorny of oumben can pouibly possess any moral power or authority to vote a man out of his own pro- perty. For example, suppose a pair of blankets to be left as a common legacy to five individuals, and that the blankets were only sufficient to cover three, in this ease the mwjority had • right ;o vote that the blankets should be sold, and the proceeds equally d'vrded among the five leptres; but the three individuals composing the majority had no right to vote that either the blankets or the entire proceeds - should become their own exclusive property : the first rote would be an act of expediency founded on the law of equity, (be secondwoold be an act oi violence, resettle( from animal loree. Now, there is creek!), a large share of this blanket metaphor embodied in the proposed division of the Revenues of King's College- It is more that probable that the 'Westering, Episcopalian, Romisb and Scotch Churches in Western Canada, embrace u major- ity of the population : but should they of theirere- preventatives vote that they had a right to the whole income *I the University, the vote would just be equal to ■ monopoly of the blankets ; hence no honest man would bring forward such a proposal, and no honest Tran would sanction or support it. Besides we Rel pl in believiag that a very large majority of those who were to be physically beae6tted by ir, would regard the proposal as • .ioleat otiose upon their moral feelings- The t'niversity and its res be- long to the whole people of Upper Canada, and if it the 600,000 of population, there is one Mormon ex one Uoitariu, his right is jut equal to the right of any ether single iodiri3ul; and it it would he unjust i. • mingle man to rob Arca of this right, it wouldually tajuat, "ad far mote dastardly, in 599 deprive kir of it. For although the wo seems to act upon the belief that in.auiev is rainiest.' is proper- ties to 41s. ■.abort erten pia u the p.rpetratios al it, yet then is • wide etorat dietineti . be- tween the division of property mod the division of crime. 1a drvidiag one hundred pounds among one hundred persons, each mat receives exactly ore -hundredth part of the aggregate sum, but the crime of robbery committed by onehundreJ men, produces exactly one hundred individual robbers --the mrociatioa of numbers never can have the slightest 'Whose,. is dimia- iabieg idividual moral responsibility. Besides, such a dtvista' of Coe University revenue as that contemplated by Mr- McDonald's &Ii, could only be regard.d as a very temporary eel- denies' ndement of the gessoes; kr while each a wide dif ereac. of opioids exist* upon the subject, there is a .song probability that every new Ad- minutratioe world claim the tum a power of dterieg tad aswdiag according to the wishes el the majority of the peek, which we meat my, hays always a slight natural tendency toward• justice.
