LONDON, TUESDAY, APEIL 16. Thu " temper of the house" last night was not agreeable. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it, and he felt it. Schedule Bof his new Stamp Bill met with an untimely fate. The house, after con senting to repeal the existing stamp laws, decided by a majority of 164 to 13.5 against the government not to adopt Sir CHARLES WooD . B new scheme. "In the present temper of the house," said the CHANCEL LOR of the E'en MUER, "I shall decline proceeding any farther with the bill." The decision of the houie was elicited by an amendment which sufficiently attests the feeling of the legislature. The CHANCELLOR of the Excite- QUER originally proposed an ad valorem duty of 1 per cent on bonds. Last night he proposed to re- 1 duce that 1 per cent to I. It was argued that this was too high a rats of duty, that one tenth per cent., or Is. on 601., was quite enough. The amendment, embodying the principle fw which we have been arguing the last Urn • weeks, was carried against mi- Dieters last night by a mcjoriry of 29. There is every reason to believe that this m irning the nmee, which has hitherto been intensely silent on the suhject, will discover that Sir CHARLES WOOD was decidedly in the wrong, and deserved to have been beaten thoroughly. The main point oflast night'sdebste was the good faith of the CHANCELLOI of the Excniuma. He proposed his mesas» with a simple intention of giving the tax payer the benefit of 300,0001. He appropriated that amount of revenue to the public. How were they to get the btneflt of that very dr sirable remission of taxation ? Would they have g t it under the new bill? Those were the questions the CHANCELLOR was last night called upon to answer, and he was utterly unable to offer a reply. The CHANCELLOR of the Excneaueit was asked to give the house the data upon which he bad arrived at the conclusion that the loss to the revenue by the alteration of the stamp duties would amount to the sum he proposed to give the public. The CnAlt- CILLott replied that he had gone on no data: " all his calculations were matter of mere estimate." He was assisted in his speculations by "a very able official from the &amp-office." They had laid their heads together, and had come to the conclusion that they should not lose 1 , es than 270,0001. A few nights ago Mr. HENLEY asked the Secretary of the Treasury to give the Hoase an account of the cumber of stamps annuelly issued from the Stamp-office, according to their respective values. Mr. HATTER said that no such account was ki pt. Lig n ght the ATTORNEY GENERAL came down with a partial account of this tort, upon which he based an argument that the lose to the revenue would amount to the sum pro posed to be appropriated. Mr. HENLEY felt himself entitled to remark, that ha had either been very much deceived or that the ATTORNEY-GINERAL mu using a document to which not the slightest authority attached. Bat there did come out a fact last night calculated in the strongest manner to confirm the general opi nion, that the revenue, Vatead of losing, would have gained greatly by the intended alterations. It appeared that the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in con rultation with the Chairman of the Board of Inland Revenue, had come to the conclusion that he bad pitched the new rate of ad ral,riht duty upon bonds atd mortga;es too high. He, thereh.re, proposed another alteration, an additional change, a third Stamp Duties Bill,—in which he reduced the mini mum rate of stamp duty on mortgages and bonds to 34. instead of 10s. He calculated that by this altera tion, announced for the first time last night, he should lose—how much ? Something more than 30,000/. ! So that, as Mr. 001:LBURN reminded the bowie, a reduc ti nof no less then 50 per cent, upon every transac tion under the head of mortgages and bonds through out the empire was only estimated to entail a sacrifice of 30.0001. And yet it was in the face of this fact that the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQLER assumed that his new scale, which greatly increased every rate of duty on transactions above 1,000!., would cause a loss to the revenue of more than half • million ! It happen., unfortunately for the CHANCELLOR of the Excneetunt, that there is one particular stamp duty, the produce of which to the revenue happens to be known. The 154 stamp upon mortgages pro duces an average of 4,5001. a year, representing a sale of precisely 300 stamps. Under the new Stamp MI a transaction of 12,5004, which is now represented by a 151. stamp, would pay an ad valorem duty of 821. 10s. 621. 10s. multiplied by 300 produces 18,7301. Upon this single stamp alone there would betherefore an increase of revenue amounting to no less than 14,230/. a year, or more than 300 per cent. ! Is not this a proof of the arose delusion under which this measure was propounded as a measure to remit taxation ? The CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQC ER pointed to the reduction of duty upon rates below 1,0001., and said that he expected a loss from the remission upon these small trafisaetionr. What is the CHANCELLOR of the Exclutut:Ea's notion of " transactions ?" Dow he call a hoed for 1,6001. or 2 0001. a large transac tion ? Does he call a 6,0001. or even a 10,0001. mort gage a large transaction? Oa these, and all such considerations u these, the prope r stamp duties would have effected an enormous increase. The CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER well knows that the great bulk of transactions would have come under the in creased stamp rates. If he had any doubt upon the subject he would have given the house the ietarn of stamps at their respective values, of which Mr. Harris denied the ex'stence, but upon which it NEM/ that Sir C. WOOD made his " calculations." The house last night showed a greet desire to re mit taxation, but no disposition to adopt it up3n false pretenc.e. " Thi■ plan," said one hon. gentleman, " ought to have been propounded to us candidly and fairly." The government wronged the public by promising a boon and offerisg a stamp. The country was promised relief; but if this measure gave any relief at all, it did it by taxing one class in order to relieve another. Although the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had struck out all the objectionable clauses which im;.osed new taxation, it was very conclusively shown last n;ght that there still re mained in the bill numerous items of new taxation, which are not objected to, bat which would hive assur edly produced additional revenue. To talk of any loss, therefore, from the operation of the new scale of duties was simply ridiculous ; and so the House of Commons treated the CHANCELLOR'S assertions. The House this evening will be called upon to consider a motion long since placed upon the piper by Mr. Mimosa GIBSON for the repeal of the duties on newmpapere and knowledge. When the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was asked last night what he intended to do with his surplus, he was at the same time reminded that the question of taxation upon knowledge was within a few hours to be submitted for consideration. It would have been a graceful and a popular act had Sir CHARLES WOOD, in his Budget for the present year, made concession of at least a portion of theme taxes. A sacrifice of the 150,0001. lie receives upon' Advertisements might have saved him much of the trouble Le bas slice uoderipme in appropriating the surplus of the year's taxation. He made, however, his own choice. The consequences he expi rierced in Let night's division; and in the dienssion which will follow it to-night, he loses the advantage of the only argument that ought to be effectual against a remis sion of such taxes—namely, that there remairs in the Exchequer no surplus to divas, of. Tne existing Briti,h government will leave behind it no Mere honourable monument of its attachment to ' the cause of constitutional and moderately libtral pro- gress in Europe, than tl:e pirliamentary column*, containing the carrispoodenoe eland with itad.ploniatio THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 16, 1850. I agents in Italy. The letters of Mr. Ansicaoinst, of Sir GEORGE HAMILTON, of Lords MINTO and NAPIER, display fully to th e world what was the policy that actuated the British government, a p o li c y d on the desire to see the Italians acquire con stitutional rights, in wooed with their sovereigns and by their means. With these volumes, as well as with the conduct and policy which they iodic ite, is strongly con trasted a series of papers just published, consisting of the letters and explanations of Mr. Moan O'Fsaits Throughout all his correspondence and his act., this functionary, chosen for the liberal principles which he affected in this country, evinces his horror and aversion for those struggles, which the people of Italy undertook for the acquirement of constitutional rights. Every Italian liberal is in Mr. O'FannaLL's vocabulary a rebel, or worse. The Neapolitan soldiers, who preferred the constitutional to the despotic cause, are stigmatised by him "as a class of persons, for whom there can be no sympathy, who deserted the flag of their country, and who may be pre , Named unfit to be at large amongst honest m n." These very men, so stigmatised by oar liberal go vernor, were captured by the Neapolitan commander, who, in consideration that they had acted from prin ciple and from a just respect to the constitution, sent 1 them off in a French steamer in order that they might not be subjected to punishment. Bat Mr. Mons O'FERRALL hid not the mercy or the consi deration E f the Neapolitan commander. A soldier who refused to fight for a prince that had violated his oath to the constitution, was nothing in his eyes but a deserter. Civilian librale were equally an object of horror to Mr. OTzaitaLL, who charitably hints that the name of" political refugee was generally assumed as a cloak to cover crime. against society." In other words, Mr. O'FERRALL took upon him to presume, that every political refugee was a ruffian and a robber, and he treated them accordingly. Mr. O'Frinitatt knew perfectly well the utter falsehood of the calumnies that be daily uttered, as, indeed, the self-contradictions in hie own lettere chow. For whilst in one pap we hare him denouncing to Lord GREY " the idle, dissolute, and unprincipled " refugees, who, he declared, endangered the safety of the island, we find this same veracious governor, in another letter, writing to Mr. TEMPLI as follows: Within the lait three months we have had 700 refugees resident in this island. Their behaviour has been such as to satisfy me that no government can justly apprehend any in convenience from allowmg them to return to their cities country. It was the men no described, that Mr. MORE O'Feuitatt, pretends that there was danger of admit ting within the fortifications, or into contact with the youth of the island._ _ _ Two classes of refugees repaired to Malta in 1848. These were the Jesuit., expelled by the constitu tionalists, and the conatitutionalists expelled by the Jesuits and the French. We have but to mark the different receptions which Mr. O'FERRALL give to each. The Jesuits be revives with open arms, and supplies their every want. The liberals he, on the contrary, confines on board the vessel in which they arrive, and impitiably denies them liberty to land, unless each possessed the thirty pounds neces sary to pay his passive to Southampton. The greater part of these unfortunate liberals escaped from Rome, and directed their course to Malta, on the filth of passports delivered to them by the British consul. But no ; Mr. O'FERRALL would not admit the validity of such a passport, even to pass on the bearer. Ile would not countersign it. He would neither let the liberals lead at Make, nor facilitate their escaping from Malta. He kept them lying in port, and on hoard, perishing of confinement and heat, spending the it last pitco of money, and so exasperated at the trick played them that it was thought they must mutiny in their mad new and seize the ship. Mr. MORE O'FERRALL placed guards round to reduce and shoot them, in case they were driven to desperation ; whilst at the same time he did all in hie power to drive them to that desperation. The fact is that Mr. MORE O'FERRALL is an ultra catholic. He abhorred the Italian movement be cause it was directed against the clergy and the Pope, and, like another I.IIILIP THE SECOND, he took the suggestion of his confessor for the rule of his po litics, embraced the advent of the Jesuit., and in• vented every calumny and persecution that he could employ to provoke, persecute, and destroy the unfortunate Italian liberals. Such is the repre sentative of the British goy, rament, such the bieot that has disgraced the English name, and forfeited the English character in the Levant for generosity, hospitality, justice, and truth. We are sorry to see that givernment has bestowed any thing like approbation of such conduct, guarded as that approbation be. Lord GREY tells Mr. O'FERRALL how easy it was to 1 °ate this formidable band of refugees outside the fortifications, if necessary. And his lordship enjoins the governor to get rid of the Jesuits, as guests quite as dangerous to the peace of the island as the political refugees, against whom Mr. OTERB.ALL, with all his desire, could impute no crime. Oar government, however, does not abandon or condemn its subordinator, except in even of very flagrant crime. But we fed confident that the opinions of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Lord PALMERSTON, and Earl Um; on the conduct of Mr. MORE O'FgattALL, are much the same as the already settled opinion of the British public, which the parliamentary volume of his correspondence does but corroborate, viz., that Mr. NIORE OTERRALL is a disgrace to England, a renegade to its liberal party, and one whose conduct cuts a heavy slur upon the hitherto respected name of a liberal catholic. ONCE upon a time, we are told, the lion behaved most generously to the mouse, who, contrary to all expectation, was enabled some time afterwards to repay the favour by gnawing a way through the meshes of a net, to facilitate the escape of the royal benefactor. This fable is in process of being real:zed in the diocese of Exeter, Mime SELLON being the mouse and the Bishop the lion. Few of our readers forget that some time back Mks SELLON undertook several offices of charity in the town of Devonport. Gifted with great zeal, energy, good intentions, arid, last, but not least of all, with wealth, Miss SELLON chose, nevertheless, to imperil the thorough working of many ad mirable plans for the educa!ion and relief of the poor, by an obstinate adherence to many forms which savoured very strongly of Romaniam. The unpleasant feature of the came, however, was that, when attacked upon this point, Miss Sahtox defended herself, not by making a candid sta•ement of the facts as they existed—not by claiming the right to act in whatever manner she thought most agree able to God and her conscience, but by a Jesuitical explaining away of the charges. All England would have approved had she met the spirit of the charge as a noble woman vindicat ing her acknowledged right to do good in her own way, but she experienced but a luke warm sympathy from the majority when she cavilled at the letter of the charge with all the tortu osity of the Jesuit. Miss SELLON was rapidly sinking in public estimation, when the Bishop of Ex 6TER came forward to accord his protection to the suffering sister. In his summing up his lordship seemed to have warmed himself into a forgetfulness of the present age and its prose, and to have been transported in imagination to that golden time of the middle age when its heroes floated in an atmosphere of unreality, in which gallantry and devotion appeared inextricably blended. The Bishop, in the fullness of his heart, with a happy mixture of sentiment and piety, pro nounced Miss SELLON to be an angel. Miss Sehhon, like a true woman, is not insensible to the compliment, and is coming forward at a time of his lordship's utmost need, to prove her gratitude. The extent of her devotion is shown by the magnitude of the sacrifice. The nature of that sacrifice may be judged of by the following facts : The institution of the " Sisters of Mercy," of which Miss Sehhors is superintendent, is thoroughly Roman catholic in its spirit. We do not pretend to be me quainted with the whole of the interior of the place, bat we know that some portion of the inmates of the establishment submit to a clerical surveillance as strict as that exercised in any convent in Spain. Many of the parishioners of au incumbent of a parish in a western suburb of London are well acquainted with the authority exercised by their rector over seine of these sisters. Miss SEhhon, it is well known by the friends of all the sisters, approves of such superintendence. These women write to their friends under the permission of their superintendent or their spiritual adviser. They ate implicitly obedient to an external power. It is clear, then, that the line of conduct which Miss :ileum's has adopted, in requesting the withdrawal of Lord Camenehh's name from the list of those who assist her with their !contributions, and in lecturing his lordship on a point in theology, is an exception to a rale, which could only have been necessitMed by some strong Impelling motive. Under almost all other imaginable circum stances Miss Ramon would have considered it ' indecorous fa a woman to handle doctrinal questions, and have settled all controversy b a pima reference to her spiritual ad v i ser . B ut the Bishop was in diffi culties, ought she not to rash to the rescue P The high church was in want of 'adenines, would it not grant plenary absolution for a little derelictio# from tee ordinary mum P Would not there be great glory in the weaker vessel affording assistance which could be procured at no other band? The woman meld give but one answer to those ques tions—the dutiful daughter of the church doubtless had her inward prompting, encouraged by the dirge tors of her commence. The result is the two letters to Lord CAMPBELL. We look upon them as a min gled exhibition of feMnine weakness, on the one band, and of high-church malice on the other. The protestant jesuits are covering the exercise of their maligns q with a woman's garment. Miss SELLON begs Lord CAMPBELL to withdraw his name from her subscription lists, because he has I assisted in a judgment " contrary to the fundamental principles of the church of England." The cloven foot of the evil genius of Pweyism is visible here. From what we have said of Miss SELLONIS extrava gant idea of church authority, our readers cannot but cove to the conclusion that unless backed by compe tent ecclesiastical advice, she would have dared to put her judgment in avowed opposition to that of the highest spiritual dignitaries in the ream. Reminded of this by Lard CAMPBELL, she snubs the archbishops with as little ceremony as the Bishop of EXETER himself performs the like operation. She lays down the law with the boldness of a Pope JOAN. "Now can it heal the wounds of the church to tell ns that her articles admit of a heresy which her creed re jects ? I may not believe it although such words are sanctioned by the two archbishops. My lord, I do I not believe it." Now we know enough of the life of the superintendent of tke Sisters of Mercy to feel per suaded II that she did not write these words without a full conviction that in thus speaking evil, by implication, of dignitaries, she was incurring the censures of the church, and we also know that few persons in this protestant community are likely to entertain such a strong opinion of the importance of those censures. The conclusion is obvious, that the powerful high church spiritual "direction" which moves the wheels in the machinery, in operation at the " Sisterhood of Mercy," is at work, and that most rigorously in the present instance. Miss SELLON is the unconscious organ of a party which has taken upon itself to carry her safely through the storms which she Mght have dreaded as the consequence of her contumacy. Min SELLON is, in fact, the Bishop, of EXETER in petticoats. Allowing, however, that the attack on the part of the extreme section of the church has been most art fully made, since it connects the cause of benevolence and sympatl-y with a high-minded wirnan with that of a contested doctrine, we may be allowed to hint that it is probably too bola. Will not people begin to suspect the purity of a faith which can not permit its adherents to do good is company with thole who differ a hair's breadth from the pro portion of constituted orthodoxy ? Is it not monstrous to suppose that much consideration will be long yielded to a party which refuses to benefit m inkind except through the mirow portal of a faith which would exclude nine-tenths of the world from the benefit of salvation ? The corrrspondence in this case will, we believe, do serious injury to the church of England. It exhibits the Anglican catholic as a blind and uncharitable puppet, moved by bigots in the background, and the chief justice a noble.minded Christian ready, so that ho may do good, "to row beside all waters." Yesterday, amid the throng of a crowded court, judges and counsel, lords and ladies, looking on, the bar all standing, and the offic vs of justice doing homage, the Lord Chit f Justice of England, the correspondent of Mies SELLON, took his seat upon the bench as the representative of the QUEEN herself. His oath taken in the open court recognised ' his attachment to Protestant principles, and his deter ' munition to uphold the Church as by law established within these realms. Singular it was that the very first Mt offered to his hearing was the memorable one of " the Bishop of EXETER V. GoRUAM !" He " took time," says the report, "to look into the cases." Lord CAMPBELL will clearly not consider the writings of Miss SELLON on church doctrine autho rities? FRANCE. PARIS, MONDAY, 7 p x. The conclave of socialist delegates assembled on Saturday at midnight in the Old School of Commerce, i Rue de . Ciaaronne, and did not separate until late yesterday afternoon, when it appeared th a t M. Eugene Sue was the successful candidate. The name of M. Dupont (de l'Eure) was set aside, notwithstand ing the efforts of the more moderate portion of the committee, and the ballot took place on the names of M. Eugene Sue, M. Daniel, a nomcommissioned officer of the Casemeate of Vincennes, M. de Oirardin, M. Villardet, and one other. The numbers on the ballot were as follows :—M. Eugene Sue, 143 ; M. Daniel, SO; M. de Gitardin, 74 ; and the two other candidates two votes each. M. Eugene See was, therefore, proclaimed the socialist candidate for the election of the 28th inst. The delegates separated, shouting "Vive N Republique, a bas Ice Jesuitee." This result seems to have taken everybody by sur prise. The general opinion among enlightened libe rale is that the choice has been singularly unhappy, and can only owe its eventu it success to the bad ma- 1 nagement of the opposite party. Yet the National, the Press., and other papers direemble their dissatis faction, and strenuously urge all sections of the so cialist party to support with all their energies the candidate elected by the conclave of delegates. It is curious to reflect that M. Eugene Sue conquered the first title to that !popularity which has now brought him forward as the socialist candid ate fir the repre sentation of Paris, in the columns of a journal which is now the bitterest foe of socialism. The Moth-lee de Paris first appeared as the Ruilletun of the Jour nal des Dibate. I can assure you, on good authority, that the can didature of M. Fernand Foy will be withdrawn. Fifteen influential representative, of the Assembly, and the leaders of the whole moderate press met yes terday together to consult upon the most effectual means of displacing M. Foy; and it was agreed that such representations should be made to the candidate of the Union Electorate as could not tail to make him desist from canvassing the votes of Paris on the 28th. If these remonstrances are followed by the retirement of M. Foy. I hear it is the intention of the party et order t bring forward M. Leclerc, an old military officer, member of the Legion of Honour, who in the days of June distinguished himself by an not of heroism of the antique Roman stamp, which drew much notice at the time. His son was killed by his side in charging a barricade. M. Leclerc took the body home, and brought back with him a younge r so n to the scene of battle. Then planting a musket in the boy'shsnd he bade him avenge his brotht r's death. Per haps there can be no more striking proof given of the bitter animosity of the party spirit prevailing et the present moment, than the fact of the majority of the Assembly, of the men of civilisation and intelligenoe, dropping all other considerations as to the qualities of a candidate for the forthcoming election, in order to Ax upon some badge which may characterise, with the deepest emphasis, their hostility and hatred to the so cialtsta. It enters into the head of no conservative to ask whether the person to whom he is to give his vote can speak or think, has any knowledge of politi es! questions, or any experience of parliamentary bu siness ! No : but he must bear some broad and *b eim stamp that may respond to the passion which Ares all hearts, and, like a word inscribed upon a flag, symbolise and concentrate the thought aid resolve of the whole army of conservative voters. The mode rates would rush to the poll to vote for Leclerc, stimulated by as blind a rage in one direction as they Imputed to the socialists in the other, when these caused to triumph on the 10th of March an in =of June, M. de Plate. The catdidature of is equivalent to stooping to pick up the de mocratic gauntlet flung down on the 10th of March, and consenting to combat the socialists with their own weapons. If, instead of one election, a general eleotioi were to take place at the prestmt moment, it would probably be conducted everywhere upon this principle, of each party bringing forward the candi date who would most aptly express their defiance of their antagonists; and thus, instead of an Assembly being chosen that would be capable of reasoning upon political questions, and conducting rationally the legislative business of the count 7, the parliament would be the concentrated expression of all that was most bitter, violent, and contentious in France. To-day M. Gustave Beaumont laid on the table of the Assembly the report of the committee on the bill relative to a credit for the maintenance of the French army of expedition of the Medite rr a nean . M. Rather, Minister of Justice, demanded that the Transportation Bill should be placed on the order of the day for Thursday next. (Murmurs on the Left.) The Assembly adopted this proposition by a majo rity of 390 to 228. M. Leon de Malleville demanded a subvention of 80,000 fr. for the Italian Opera, which was referred to a committee. M. Raudot demanded a diminution of 274,000 fr. of the credit relative to the eubvertions of the national theatres. The reduction was put to the vote and rejected. Upon the chapter relat've to aid to political pri soners in indigent circumstance*, a reduction of 300,000 fr. was proposed by M. Morin de la Drome, and adopted by the Ass e mbly. Th e vo t e exc i te d great sensation. _ The sitting broke up at a quarter after six. Ti. Conatitutionnel, noticing the official returns of the quarter's revenue, says: We call the attention of our readers to the comparative tables of the produce of indirect taxes daring the first quarter of the present year and the corresponding quarter of the pre ceding years. The importance of these returns will bs ap preciated at a time when cur financial situation occupies so mach attention. The principal fact which reaufa from these comparative tables is that the produce of the indirect taxes charier the first quarter of the present year has exceeded by 3,344,000 k. the produce of the corresponding period of last year. This amount proves a considerable improvement in the public fortune. Tn augmentation would have been still more considerable but for the accidental deficit in the salt duty during this quarter, end which probably will not affect the following one.. We have ski any had occasion to men tion several times that the increase in the payments for salt during the first months of 1849 was in s great measure caused by the replacing the stocks, which had been run low during 1848, in expectation of a lowering of the duty. N, astonishment should, therefore, be felt that the pit duty should have produced 4,400,000 k. less during this quarter than during the same period of lest year. EA': for this cir cumstance—that is to say, if the salt duty had not shown this unusual deficit, the increase of the receipts of the indi rect taxes would not have been only 3,344,000 k., it would have been nearly 8,000,000 k, As the same 433010, there fore, will not act, at least in the same proportioo, on the fol lowing months, there is reason to conclude that, if the manufacturing and commercial movement dues not relax, the other quarters of the year will give a more considerable profit than that which has just expired. Another fact which it appears useful to point out is the disastrous iefituence which the political agitations of the month of March have exercised on the produce of the indirect taxes, and consequently on the transactions in and consumption of the articles which supply that essential branch of our taxes. Out of the increase of 3,344,0001 e. in the quarter, the last month chows the least part. The months of January and February gave 2.689,0001 r., and March only 656,000 fr. At the head of the branches of revenue which have shown V.' greatest Ina provemeut may be placed the registration and stamp dues, the produce of which has increased more than five mil lions, the result on which we may congratulate ourselves, not only in a financial point of view, but as regards the situa tion of landed property, which tends to resume its former value. After the registration ditto comes the tax on porta ble liquors, on which there is an increase of 1,803,000 k. Tubaceo and other indirect taxes are also improving. There are scarcely more than two taxes which shows a decrease in receipts—those on salt and customs dues. We have already pointed out the particular circumstances which explain the deficit in the former ; es to the latter, it will be remarked that the reduction bears principally on colonial sugars, which has been espied by the increase of beet root and foreign sugar, a part of which will remain in consumption ; it may, moreover, be attr.buted to the increase in the price of sugar, and thus adds a fresh argument in favour of the utility of the measure le bleb has been drawn up by the government, and is now uuder the corsid• ration of the Council of State and the Ge neral Councils of Agriculture, Manufacture, and Commerce. If we compare the proceeds of our indirect texts during the last quarter with those of England during the same period, we snail find that whilst our public revenue has increased by 3,311,090 fr., that of England has decr.a.ed 2,500,0101 r. Oar neighbours may doubutes allege that the decrease of their revenue is in a great measure the consequence of the fresh reduction made in the duty on sugar; but have we not a'eo been subjected to accidental causes which have acted in 30 unfavourable meaner on our taxes, and particularly en that on salt? It may be also remarked that it is not only the customs dues in England that are decreased, but also :he stem? duty and the poet-office returns. The government has interd cted the electoral meet ings of La Chapelle, Aubervilliers, Cour Neuve, Bou logne, and Nlontrouge, in consequence of speeches of a seditious character and attacking public morality having been delivered. 'the interdiction has taken place in virtue of the law of 19th Ju..e, 1819, against Abe. BOURSL PARR Azau. 13. Tor For Account. Wary. Opening kilerbegt.

A summary of the news received by electric tele graph appemcd in yesterday's Express. Our correspondent writes : LISBON, APRIL 10. The Chambers have been prolonged till the tad of June. The ministers have laid on the table the re ports of their respective department., but they have not been printed ; thus the ways and means may b 3 deterred to the last of the session. Commerce and agriculture have been neglected, while the situation of the wine district, so much required to be relieved, bas not been even brought forward. The colonies are abandoned to their fate. All consideration of finance and economy are equally left to themselves, while there is no thought of betterieg the revenue. Oo the contrary, they have not stopped at creating expense. The King, as commander-in-chief, has a staff of 63 officers, with extra allowances ; 11 officers have also been added to the war department, with extra allow ances; monthly payment has been ordered in some departments, when others are from nine to eleven months in arrear ; the army is in arrear from two months to six, besides three months of back pay for 1846 and 1817 ; and some half pay officers and pensioner' are eighteen months in arrear. The electoral law has not b:-en brought for ward. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, instead of trying to settle the American qu. stions, and iostead of pressing Lord Palmerston on the subject of Capt. Keppel, is content with evasion from the latter, and neglects the former, which has caused a report that an American squadron may be expected to enforce them. The expenses of the marine are increased, while they owe the Liters from 24 to 30 months pay. The law for the press has been carried to the upper Chamber, and has been read. Carts to judge com mercial cases have been established by decree in every chief district town. The army has been voted at 24,000 men. 'fee government has canted a pro posal to build a custom-house at Oporto. Roads are pro gressing everywhere, the government giving every encouragement to those who propose anything re garding them. On the 3rd, 50,400,000 reis in Lis bon bank notes were destroyed. The following is the account of the Bank of Porta gal to the 31st of 51arch:—Notes in circulation, 666,160,000 reis; deposits ' metal, 583,696,971 reis ; cash, metal, 1,288,8811,453 reis; bullion, 6,667,250 reis.

The CudinalVicar bas distributed 23,000 dole. in the name of his holiness to the poor of the capital. The employis are to be reinstated where serious misconduct is not proved. Three very important plans are said to have been prepared at Naples, one for an organic settle ment of the constitution, a second for a criminal, and a third for a civil code, of which the details will be shortly known. Meantime precantons for the per motel safety of the Pontiff, in his approach, are not neglected. No sportsmen are allowed to take their I guns beyond the walls. Passports are required of all going the smallest distance from Rome. Shooting along the line of approach is not allowed. The British flag had been hauled down from the consulate, a more settled state of things being now expected. On the Pope's wry the cry of " Viva Pio Nene" is interdicted. People are instructed to beg the paternal blessing, " Santo Padre la benecli clone !" Cardinals Lambruechini and Orioli, preced kg the Pope, arrived on the evening of the sth. The Giornale di lAmw states that on the sth Mon signor Bavelli, Mioister of the Interior, Advocate Giansanti, Minister of Grace aed Justice, M. Camillo Jacobini, Minister of Agriculture, ar.d Chev.

La the Erfurt parliament, on the 13:b, Radowits made a public declaration to the effect that the addi tional clauses proposed by the party of the Left would, if passed, be highly danger/ u. to the union. The proposals of the party of the Right for the re charm of the constitution were all rejected by a large m ijority. The proposals of the Left, for adopting the consti tution en 7, toe, were carried by 125 against 89. The other proposals of the Left were adopted with out division. The Pruesian mildetry and Von Radowitz have thin been left in a great minority. The above is an extended report of the revilts of the sitting in which Von Patow's propositi ns were adopted. ERFURT, .tenet 11. The Volkshaus meet to-morrow, when tho discus sion of the en bloc adoption will be commenced, the first order of the day being the report of the Volkshaus committee on the constitution. True report has just been published, and as it is of considerable greater interest than such documents usuai4 are, I send a translation. F. is drawn up by Camphaasen and G ltdammer, and commences, after a low words of introduction, with the following question : Shall we recommend to the house the adoption of the proposals of the government in their present form unaltered, without conditions or reservations? The objections to this course are numerous. The draft of the constitution has many important defects; drawn UP for • federal state of great magnitude, it contains much that is inapplicable to a smaller union, and much that is inadequate and even dangerous. The difference between the funda mental rights as proposed in the drag, and those of the Prussian cementation, must prove a great difficulty for the Prussian government and the Prussian deputies. in nearly all the otter states of the union, the fundamental rights published by Archduke John, the Reichsv‘rwescr in the imperial collection of statutes hive become val.d, and as they are more ample than those proposed in the psnent draft, it nirows that the adoption of the latter woul I only justify, and not compel, the states in question to alter their legisla tion, while Prussia would be compelled to alter the pion time of a constitution drawn up hut a short time ago in accsrdance with the expressed wahes of the l-gitilativie powen, and determined atter long and difficult negotiations. This obligation would at the present moment appear the more unbearable, as the allies ot the confederation cot only do not equal in numbers the Prussian population, but are, in tact, much less. The institution and nationally legal position of a government from which two important membets are for the time exclu led (Hanover and Sammy) forms another great difficulty. To attempt a division of the executive and legislative functions of the head of the empire, and to con fi ne the ormer to the Reichiveretand, anu the latter to the College of Princes, would be very dangerous and hardly compatible with the conditions of a parliamentary gov.rnmeit. But it is quite inadmissible that the R.rehivorssaci should be compelled by a majority in the College of Pri,,orr, either to make use of his veto or to renounce it spinet bas will. If this limitation was untenable in a union in which the states would have composed about half of the Reichsvorstaud, it is still lees to be supported, now that the c.ecumference of the federal state is so coneider.bly narrowed, and the relations of its members to each other so changed. Should for ex maple the interest of Prussia and the other allied states, require a measure unfavourable to the independence and competency of the governments of individual states, the latter would not only possess the power of re'ining their con s rat to a parliamentary decision unfavourable to them but also of forcing upon the Prussian government the adop tion of measures against its own intereer. Anse: fro n the difficulty of governing the empire by a college of princes, the constitution is extravagant in granting rights, but 'try sparing in affording the means of giving them impotence, or facnitating and securing their execution. The right of the chief authorities to provide sources of inzome is omitted, for the sums afforded by the registra tion fees experience has proved to be insufficient and not fit to fens the basis of a Loan in case such a measure should be necessary. Tree constitution, moreover, provides no machinery for collecting them in tsetse( delayer refusal. The power granted to each of the two houses of refusing every three years their consent not only to the extraordinary, but to the ordinary budget, is also considered dangerous. It is a great demand to make, in the presence of such de fects and dangers, that regulations should at once be adopted which are considered unsuitable, and that we should content ourselves with the hope that after the adoption the necessary alterations can be made by future decisions, without any guarantee h, ing afforded for the actual execution ot the decisions for their legality and for their operation. The immediate adoption of the draft of the constitution in its unaltered form is not recommended by the commissioners of the Vsrer.d. [urge-nth, but is, on the contrary, strenuously opposed. The proposals of the governments are, however, so fra - ut d :hat, . under the existing circumstances, it would be useless trouble to oppose to them grave objections, doubts, or fears. The Volkahaus is bound to do nothing which can in any way prejudice the termination of the result of the legal [lnas ion which has been raised by the Verwaitunvrath with lian,ver and Saxony, the information of which was o :Ivey sd to the knowledge of the parlament in the opening message, or which can in any way lessen the obligation of the govern ments of those two states to remain in the confederation. And as every alteration requires the eonsitut of Ilanorir and Saxony, it Is the opinion of the committee that tie hum can effect the legal duration of the obligations entered into only by adopting preliminarily the dr a ft o f t h e constitution unaltered. 'float inch • motive for the adoption , of the constitution by the parliament, so foreign to its con `tents, may expose us to the reproach of empl o yi ng i m p roper or indelicate means, is an objection which ought not to be ee -1 peed after the proceedings which the governments of Hanover and Saxony have thought tit to adopt since May, . 1849. Though it is not intended to give effect to the formal question ot right by material constraint, nonetheless the day may *OM come when that right will require to be asserted with success. The committee, therefore, discovers in the relations to Hanover and Saxony a not unifilvrtant pentad for advising the adoption of the draft of the constitution un altered. lc would be a melancholy task to count the distil seuges arising from the delay in appo in ttng the central p serer as originally intended, or to prove Oa great advantages afforded to the external enemies of the cant, n in their many sided attempts to prevent its establishment, by the absence of established co-operation with a dirtetin; power at its head. The unaltered adoption of the constitution alone atlords the possibility of a speedy creation and iota ala tion of a cant' power, authorized and capable ot deciding and acing. Thu would be postponed to an lade thine period it eh- parliament decide on preceding the adorio t by a revision; fur the proposal of alterations at once rem yes the obligation to install the College of Princes. The proposal of such a step is justified by the legal view taken in tn• 0311- vention of the 26th May, In the circular &spatial' of the 28.1% May, and in the memorial of the 11th Jun*. 1519, via that the consent of the parliament to the are: of the 26th May raises it at ones to a law binding upon all the states which signed the convention. le °consequence parlua mein has been placed in the position of having exclusively in its hands the power or establishing the legal existence ot the It icral state. Toe federal state has within it, In cons. comae of its natural condition, two diverging edentate, one ot which times greater eqitation, and the other greater fuel a; the former has its suit in the particular independence of the governments of the individual members, and the other in the Voieshaus. it is necessary in order prop-ily to understand the full importance of the position of parliament not to leave unconsideretithe historical course ot the Ci,rm a i i qua st:on.
