MOM RAM AT LONDON MUMS Toe Ilai—fikness. ft-- AlNemo& mils. It.e.aso•-11fisimili. SA 87 •• LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCH 28. Tice iedispoeition of Mr. DISRAELI has seemed to afford an opportunity to Lis principal rival in Tory leadership, of which the latter has not been slow to avail himself. 'Pis an ill wind that blows nobody good; and *Lough the member for Buckinghamshire may curse brosehdis as a bore, the more moos repre sentative of the Universi.y may regard it a. The resignation of sanctimonious people to the afflic tions which Providence sees fit to lay upon others, was the standing jest of the French moralist. And without the incivility of doubt leg that Mr. GLererrome has upon all proper occasions been "exceedingly sorry to hear that Mr. Insaettt is still confieed to the hoar," we may vesture to think that he feels himself in much better spirits ainee be has been eeffered toad the part of iocwm tenets in the stemma of the Tory chief. For so Wooer had Mr. Dtszeml lost his voice, than Mr. GLADSTONE found hie. To have eat by, and beheld the venerab'e pert] by whom he bad been nursed and fondled as a promising pet—left mrddenly helpless and speechless, without offering any assistance, would not have been behaviour befitting a Christian. The Samaritan, we are told, pat the disarl: d d wayfarer on hie own beast, and brought him to an inn ; Mr. GLADSTONE with equal promptitude jumped upon the deserted creatures back, and led lim into a lobby. The banevolent motive was no doubt in both cases the same. We only fear lest Protectionism, in its weakened state, may become intoxicated by the unaccustomed stimulants adminis tered ; and grow unmanageable by the somewhat undecided band that for the present holds its bridle. " A brave man on a brave horse," stye Lord HERBERT, of Cherbury, "is as much above the rest of mankind, es this world can make hiss." But what may happen when either the unreasoning animal or its irresolute rider betray a contempt fur etch other's safety , the chivalric pedant doth not tell. And west still more complicated catas trophe, may perchance misae, if the distrust and die m& be mutes', or appear to be so, we almost shrink from contemplating. 'Ti. hardly p. sane, however, to mark the late mirvettirp and caraeoliogs of toryism, and the ill mewed eagerness of its new director, without ens pectin' that it must either ecd in the former running away with the latter altogether, or else flinging him ungratefully in the mire. Mr. GLADSTONE is a man of eminent talents, and posemeed of not • few estimable qualities; but we doubt if his function under any circumstances be that which he has now assumed. He might possibly have made • good subaltern Jesuit ; but he never could have made a first-rate jockey. Keen, astute, and reedy be is undoubtedly in the superlative degree. No case is too desperate, no ground too shakey, no fence too thick set for him. But in the choice of the course, and the pace to go at, be lacks that common sense which none ever learn by teaching. For a political leader he is deficient alike in per sistency, plainness, and pluck. No follower can ever surmise which tide of a new question he is likely to take, or which point of old party faith he is about to abandon. His originality, when he indulges it, has the air of an intellectual freak, and his unexpected surrender of at me opinion that every ore fancied was with him a fundamental conviction, wears too fre quently the atpi ct of fright. As an advocate few men are more plausible or persuasive; bit he has not a fated upon earth who would not rather hear him defend the position laid down by sane body else, than be compelled to witness his vacillation in determining what it should be, or exercising the responsibility of adhering to or forsaking it. Haunted, apparently, by the con/chase's@ that he is in g 1 thus regarded, the new deputy leader of the protectionists has been rather disposed to make a character for boldness and obetinacy. There is hardly a rag of the PEEL livery which he has not thrown aside. He is ready to help the landlords to recover the lases they have incurred by free trade, out of taxer paid by the people on ode r neces saries of life ; cud he is r. ady to go any lengths of democracy in the colonies in order to win the cheers of those at home who in nothing else egret with him. The beaten track of compromise no longer pleases him. He is row off the road at one side, and now at the other. Aid though for a while the oddity of this mode of proceeding may attract curiosity and cemented a parti cular species of admiration, we doubt exceedingly whetter it is one that can be long continued with either safety or sumer. Torsions hes to ordinary sptce of tenacity in its clepro,ition. It is very apt to shy at a radical jump. Some very palpable prows of this were given the otter eight in committee on the Australian BilL Away went Gledgerse seer or nought,— Away WOW lord and pny , Hs !irk dreamt when he set out, Of earning earl a rig. In their turn liberals who are m•s: disooctenfed with the gait of the whlge, find themselves as often applauding the wayward and incons'stent course of 83 rash a leader. We admire the atilt:. at a distance, hu•. if in the performance of MI marvellous feats, he sometimes approaches mt re rear, we may not repel, yet we hardly desire his c3ittinuance in our neigh b,urhood. After all, the question of conten•ment or the re verse with Mr. GLADSTONE must be Idt to the mo polish., whcse eau►e hearing formerly helped to mu he would penitently now repair. It is but natural that th, y should give him a trial, were it only fir the plcasure of mitu gis his reertatation. But as the weather grows milder and men's judgments grow more calm, the prutectioniete will probsbly hi gin to think th. y wt-n- better as they were, and that fJr thtir faithful blur flexible Otnrox were a bed exchange. SIR CHARLES WOOD'S stamp dat7 pro!ect came before the House of Cremona in the shspe of a double r )lution. T • schedule of amended duties forms the first resolutOn ; and, for the public information, we reptint it in aLo..her part of our paper. The 'wood resolution is a general one: " Tts, it is expe dient to amend the laws rtlaticg to the stamp duties." In that erco-d resolution we entirely concur. The means of bete sing the 'elven., and at the same time lighten'ig t e bu-den of t &on, are, we make no doubt, ti be found in a proper revision of the stamp law. But that clueatio., is irVirely apart I'om the due consideration t f the CHANCELLOI of the Ex uma:nes plan, to which we elan seriously invite the attention of the mercantile e , mraunity. The Cu/osmium of the EXCHEQUER, it must always be bora* in mind, is prop mints, or pre tending to propose, a large r' mission of taxation. His plan is to re. ace the duties upon all stamps b r ksaass, coeveyaneer, bca.de, mertpige., and aet , l.- mettle, the consideration represented in which is , below 1,0001. Upon testy stsm.ed document ex hibiting a am-i 'eration abort 1,0004 the daty will he' cumin aptly incr. aced.

It can not WI to be obvious to ail who mad the reeeletions, that sot merely do they propose a redistribution of existing duties, but that they absolutely propose an imp:widen of new de fi es. The stamp duty, hence forward, is to he levied on a vast amount of ETrtwhich has never heretofore been subject to it. at y the BONDS. Henceforth an ad valorem stamp duty will be charged not only on the truster and re trsoskr of Government Stock, Bank Stook, East India and South Sea Stock, but on the stock or fends " of any °door company or corporation." It may, per haps, be egu;table that railway transfers, the transfer of shares in Ineursnce and in Miming Companies, &0., should be subjected to this tax. We my nothirg against the principle: we are not dealing with it in this plies. But no one will ocuihsed that this is not a sew taxi nor will any one Goateed that it will not bring in revenue. The qiwetioe is, then, bow are we to get the benefit of the 300,00 W. the Cusscum.ort in tends to give us oat of his so-calltd measure of reduc- Tura to the CONVEYANCES. Are there no new items of taxation under that head P Mark the words. Uadsr the existing law the conveyance stamp is re• quired "span the male of any land, tenements, or other property, real or personal, heritable or move able." Under the new scheme the stamp is to be taken not only " upon the sale of any property, real or personal, heritable and moveable," but also, upon the isle "of any other MATTER OR THING whatso ever and of whatever matvre." Why. what is not a "matter or thing?" We cannot conceive a transaction of life which may not be brought within the meaning of this phrase. Its construction will be wholly depen dent on the interpretation of the courts. Triers is an old jokn among the lawyers about the form of deed which is requisite to convey an orange, with lull right and title to and complete interest in its peel, skin, pipe, juice, &c. Henceforth the deed conveying the orange must undoubtedly be engrossed on an ad valorem stamp, as coming within the description of " a matter or thing." The ad ralorem stamp upon the orange pip conveyance wauld aertainlv not b: a heavy one •, but many " • matter or thing" to be conveyed would require a stamp of no small amount. Take the plant of a cotton-mill, for instance, or the stock upon a farm, or the sails, cordage, ke., of a ship. Or take the good-will of a large business, which clearly would be a " matter" if it could not be &scribed as a " thing ;" or a partnership, which is another "matter;" or a judgment-debt; or, in six words (the CHANCELLOR of the Excnacturres own words), " anything whatever, and of whatever na ture." Why, no one henciforward will be able to pus the poseersion of a single chattel without the assistance of an ad valorem stamp. As to the justice or injustice of 'hie we express no opinion ; butts it a relief hoes the burden of taxation? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER offers to give us in this shape full use and interest in 300,0001., which we at present pay in the shape of taxation. This is what he pro- Fara to "Cony. y " to us, on our assenting to this pee -1 tinnier arrangement. Well, then, do we like the bar gain? Are we prepared to take it in this shape, or shall we courteously decline it, and request some better terms ? But perhaps it may be thought that there is some thing else in this locg resolution calculated to give us the fall benefit of the 300,0001. We go, then, to LEAsEs. Shall we get the 300,0001. out of the reduc tion of the stamp duty levied upon leases? As we showed the other day, the reduction upon leases would benefit the leaseholder at the rate of 1-10th per cent. on the consideration money. That is to say, if his rent is 1,0001. the leaseholder will pay W. under the new scale, where he now pays t sadly 61. But is there no di sadvantage c3upled up with this remis sion? Lxk at the resolution. Under the old plan the stamp duty was paid only on the lease i•self, henceforward it is to be paid both on the lease and en the agreement for the 1 see. But more than this. It was formerly payable only in respect of the "monoy consideration ;" hencef3rward it will be charged in respect of " any consideration whatsoever." Now, mark the effect of this. A man takes a re pairing lease; he is to lay sir a large sum of money in improvements: that is clearly a consideration wi-hin the resolution, and he will clrs.queatly have to psy an increased stamp duty. Or take the case of a bu;lder, to whom a lease is granted at a ground rent in consideration of his having built a house. The vslae of that house is als3 clearly a " consideration," and the stamp duty mast be propor tionate. These are more than new trice,: they are cases of hardship upon industrious classes whom Sir C. WOOD affects to be anxious to relieve. There is most important question arising out of the new stamp duties to be levied upon MORTGAGES; and one that affec's so seriously the banking and mer cantile community, that we propose to mike it the subject of separate allusion. But take the new duties upon SET ILEYENTS. What do the landed proprietors think of the new duty to be levied on any eettlements containing powers to charge portions for the benefit of younger children? Whither this duty is unjust or not we do not pretend to determine; but undoubt edly the effect will be to levy a stamp duty upon large amounts which possibly may never be required to be raved. At present deeds of this sort may be drawn upon a stamp of 355. value; end. r the new scheme, if only 10,000/. (a comparatively small sum) was to be charged in this way on an estate, a stamp duty would attach of the value of M. Whet may be the inen seed amount of revenue hereafter to be obtained from all these new items of taxation, it is impossible to cal .u'ate. Should he carry his plan, we hope it will be I nough to enable Sir CHARLES WOOD to repeal the taxes upon know ledge. Had he dealt with those and other items of taxation on a large and extended scale, how much benefit might he not have conferred upon the country. But helms preferred to ti Lker the S t amp Act s: mead ling without securing that great improvement of which they are susceptible, and holding out a premise which we think every reader wall agree to be a gross delusion. SPAIN. MADRID, Muck' 21. I mentkned to you a few days rip the uneasinees excited in the minds of church property holders by the disposition shown by the government to coun'e- Lance or at least to permit the taking of religious vows. It is known that the government has sub mitted to the royal council the question as to the expediency of eltablishing one cAnvent of monks to every diocese, arid a pr partioaate number of nun neriee. It seems strange that while associations for ' industrial purposes are formic], it is to be held unlawful for men to associate t e pray in common if they please. Formerly they we re declaimed against as tending, by paimoting celibacy, to impede the progress of population, but now that populeion is too much on the increase they be in to b • looked upon an a means to curb it. Bgh monks ■nd nuns in Spain were generally children of the poor, and the e,tahlshment of reli gion, associations would not or, the whole meet with finch resistance from public opinion. The recruiting for the Pavel I. gion goes on slowly. In spite of the a xhortatiots of the priests, and the want of employment, not more th!n 200 men hays been enlisted, and th •se of the worst description, men, in short, who will go to augment the bands of malefactors with which the Papal states ab iund.

The panic s=d : Z em the elect/ass of Paris is in. • funded en a The eketions were not sosialiele but rep A moment's reflection would dim this, sport from the fact that the success ful sweildedes are know to be undulated with the lewdest waperstitioe of the red party. It is noticed with surprise that Vidal and Blotto sit apart from the Mountain, and tura the cold shoulder to its chiefs; bat this is natural and necessary. It the socialists of Paris could be counted by hundreds of thousands the t of Louis Napoleon could not stand a day, that i s obvious. In that cue the 10th of March would not have been a peaceful triumph, but a hurri cane, in which the Ripper, with much else, would hare disappeared, leaving not a rack behind. It is a matter of moment to widerstand this clearly. The 10th of March was the answer of the beast of France to that pale and trembling knot of statesmen who stand behind the ministers, and suggest pernicious counsels, of which they dare not accept the responsi bility. If we saw two or three elderly gentlemen stand by a gaming -table, and urge a young man to desperate play, tease him on to stake sums the loss of which would bring inevitable ruin upon himself and family, while they kept their pockets safely but toned, and refused to hazard one sixpence on the up shot, even in the way of bet, should we say that those were generocs, wise, and high-spirited gentlemen ? No; we should qualify them very differently. Brit the position taken up and the course pursued 1)7 MM. Thieve, Mole, Berryer, and compeers is a position far lower, and a course far mere criminal. For these ▪ at. amen are not bringing ruin upon one family, but upon ten thousand. They are deliberately pushing their country into a civil war; while they exhibit a caution, is washing their hands of all responsibility which merits the contempt of all Europe. Ti. be convinced that the government, under the guidance of these ir responsible advisers, is marching with strides to per. dition, one needs only to read the law of public in struction, published in the dirmiteur of this day. I. puts education throughout France into the hands of the priests. Thus the Jesuits, who failed to climb the ladder of their ambition in the government of the Rostoration or the government of Louis Philippe, have succeeded in planting the bonnet of obscurant ism upon the temples of the republic.. It is impossible to calculate the endless heartburnings and conflicts which will arise out of this law through all the com mune, of France ; and no one can doubt that the upshot of the mersure will be to make the priesthood odious to those orders which should look op to it with confidence and reelect. It may readily be imagined how lively a scene of disorder the impressionable Assembly presented yes terday on hearing the extraordinary proposition of Larochejacquelie. The proposition was to this effect : 1. The nation shall be consulted upon the form of government it wishes definitively to establish. In order to ff ct this, on the first Sunday of next Joao a general rotation shell take place in the same form which is in use for the election of the President of the Republic, and in conformity with the now elec toral circumscriptions. 2. Every elector shall deposit a card, upon which shall b 3 inscribed the word " Monarchy" or the word " Republic." 3. If the majority is in favour of the republic this result shall be proclaimed at the tribune of the Legislative As sembly by the President of the Republic. 4. If the majority is in favour of monarchy the result shall be proclaimed by the President of the R. public. Only in this case on the first Sunday in July the nation shall pro3eed to elect by universal suffrage, a Constituent Assembly, charged with full powers. 6. The President of the Republic shall retain the execmive power until the day of the definitive constitution of the Constituent Assembly. Parieu, the Minister of Justice, wanted indeteto prevent the scandal of its being read at all, by in viting the Awiembly to declare the prupcsition as M. Dupin fortifie I h'mself with a sevenfold shield of parliamentary precauti Ins before he would pour such an audacious array of words into the prudish ears of the majority. Thus, curiosity was si.arpened to the keenest edge ; many who were not in the secret baring inferred at first, from the mysterious r..lue tattoo of tte Pre.ident to read t•e paper he twiddled about in his embarrassed fingers, that tome thunder ing memsge from the head of the exectrive was about to he laul.ched from the tribune. When the cat was at length out of the bag, no small amusement tem pered the surprise of the hott.e at the (Aiday of the result. After the reading, many called out for the previous question, which was voted by acclamation. The sitting broke up at a quarter after six, in great in citement, the members of the Mountain crying " Five Is Republique." In the sitting of the Legislative Assembly to-day M. de la Rochejacquelin accounted for his absence yesterday during the reading of his motion, by the . fact of his having go: e, cornpl.ance with the advice of the President of the Assembly, to get his proposition printed. The Assembly agreed to adjourn till Easter Monday. The Left gave v. nt to mumurs at this resolution, which they regarded as an id.e sureratition. The tonatitutionnel says that there is no truth in the repJrt that the government has given up the Avignon Railway Bill; on the coatrary, it persists in its resolutioa of conceding this railway to private enterprise; and the bill will CMG in the order of the day on Thursday. Louis Napoleon was seen to-day, in full uniform, driving slang the Boulevards, escorted by cuira , siers. lie was very coldly re ceived everywhere. The following is from the Petrie of yesterday eve ning: "We are assured that the ministry will to morrow present to the Assembly a measure which Las been much talked of for some days, and which has been favourably received by all shades of the party of irder. It is a bil! on political domiciles. The object of it is to give to the government the power of re moving from Paris one of the meet dangerous portions of the p , pulation, and to give to the elections of Paris their proper character by subjecting the right of voting to conditions of real residence. " The committee charged to examine the bill on the caution money and stamps on journals yesterday heard the explana•iune of the Ministers of the Interior, Jus tice, and Finance. From this confsrenco it appsars (says the Pistrie) that the committee will maintain the stamp-duty, and sensibly modify the clauses re garding tue caution-money. The committee is, it is said, at,.aiiimous in desiring a change in the bill in favour of the provincial press. PARIB, Num 27 For Per AecousL MUM. 100•Mlni elatbset. Lowest.

In our yesterday's impression we announced the arrival, at S o•ithampton, of the Thames, Captain Abbot, with the West Indian and Gulf mail., under the charge of Lieutenant John Hay, B.N, Admiralty Agent, and published a detailed summary of the news, political and commercial, reotived by her. The news brought by the Thames was transmitted to London more readily than on any former arrival of a %Visit India steam packet. Curiosity was on the qui wee to know the amount brought home on account of Ms :lean dividend.. About 9A M. werday, a large steamer was descried running up Southampton Water, but the state of the atmosphere rendered it impossible to distinguish whether it was the West Indian or the Alexandrian vessel. As it neared the Thames was recognised. The steamer did not slack its speed till it entered the mouth of the docks. It was then precisely a quarter to 10 A.M. By ten minutes to 10 the electric telegraph was at work ex pressing the Thames's int. lligence to the Daily New!, and at eleven minutes put 10, just IPS the Thames came alongside the dock, the telegraphing of the Daly News message was completed. The Thames experienced strong easterly winds all the way from the Western Islands, and passed a number of vsssels struggling against the wind in the Chops of the Channel. The dates received by this arrival are : La Guayra, Feb. 22 ; Vera Cruz, Feb. 19 ; Temple', Feb. 23 ; Havanna!), March 1 ; Jamaica, Feb. 21 ; Honduras, Feb. 19 ; Demerara, Feb. 18 ; Trinidad, Feb. 20 ; Grenada, Feb. 22 ; Barbadiree, Feb. 28 ; Antigua, March 1 ; Porto Rico. Feb. 28 ; St. Thomas, March 3 ; Bermuda, March 10.
