1,4 as brandy, gin, Hollands, Scotch whiskey, he thought ev:rything was done to !Nevem this smuggling. It was well known the labour ing and lower clashes of s-eety were the great consumers of these liquers,and the ntug }piing in them would be entirely destroyed by the reduc tion• on British spirits. I . :tete persons ale ays to cheapness ; and he thought now of those lquors would be longer drank, all the smogglitz on them and on brandy would he discs lammed by the cheapness of Btiti:h spirits. In fact, they had done mid) by reducing the Duties on British s,,i its and rum 750,000/. He thought, however, that his Majesty G ,vernment would shortly ptove,by measures contem• plated for the removal of monop..lies and restrictions under which our Colonial Islands now lahoured, Elicit great desire to anteliot ate the condition of these Colonies. As to the desire of the H.lnourable Meniter for At)er deen, for the reductions t'n brandy, m lit, and tobacco, he would speak oile or two word:—as to the duty on Fiend) brandy, it rnaveicd very little, it was chiefly, consumed by Gentlemen, vji r would hive it, though with a duty 01 l9s. per gallon. But he would put the matter on a broader and m ie generous principle, and would say, you should nfl tide a willing horse to death. If he all at once took off half t;f the m4lt duties, which would he an enormous'um, together with half of the duties on tobacco, which would anioitht to 3,090,0001. would not the House feel son e alarm? Could it be done? or would it in our pie,ent infant and excel le it system be prudent or pi tiper ?—(Load cheering.)— Ile would be glad to see the duties on tobacco lowered —(Hear, hear)—but it should be done gradually. His Rieht Hon. Frien !, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, had found thar,with the maintenance of his 41%11 credit, it was impossible for him to make these reductions. However, he would say, there was an increase instead of a diminution in the consumption of these articles. The Right Hon. Gentleman said, be highly admit ed the feelings of the worthy Alderman, on the reduction on iron, in which he had such interests at stake, and trusted that others who were as much interested in tin, copper, brass, &c. would, when he introduced suite measures connected with them, hive the same good feeling, and follow his good example. Mr. ELLICE thought, alter the able statement of • the Chancellor of the Exchequer, it w ould be unfair to tease him with ptopositicns that could not he carried into effect without des :urging the finances of the corm try. It would be desirous to get rid of the inequality f duty on spirits distilled in England, Scotland, and Ireland. He thowc,ht the West India Interest had been rather hardly dealt sr ith, and he hoped the subject would be reconsidered. Ile admitted it would be ri• diculous to keep up the bounty on Sugar. But the differea rate of duty on sugar front the East and West Indies, and the Mauritius, had done much mischief. It had always appeared to him the wisest plan to throw open the Sugar Trade to the world, without holding out greater advantages to one Colony than to another. Mr. WHITMORE said, that there was a bounty of 6c. and not 3.. as stated, upon Sugar; exported from the i vVe:t Indies. On the subject s,l the wine trade, he could not help observing. that instead of reducing the duty on French wine, he thought that the duties on all wines should be equalized. Mr. BERNAL wished to know if the Right Hon. Gentleman expected to benefit the West India interests, by reducing 4ie duty on runt to Ss. a gallon, while he reduced the duties on Biitish spirits so far as to be sold for more titan a third less in 'Nice? lle would also ask if it wit., fair to keep the war duty of 275. on sugar—a duty which precluded its being male use of by the poorer classes throughout the kingdom? Mi. H. VIVIAN could not avoid expressing the gra tification which he telt, on heating the speech of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Sir C. FORBES wished to know nu what principle the Honourable Gentlentan :educed the duties on wine, on rum, on iron, and hemp, and yet did not make any reduction In the duties on the manufactures of cotton and other manufac tured articles? The C HANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, he was never unwilling to listen to any suggestions that might be made to him. It must be recollected, that owing to the high price of corn, the prime cost of British spirits was much greater than the prime cost of rum, so that the difference of Ss. and es. in the duty would being the two descriptions of spirits nearly to the same price to the consumer. Mr. GORDON expressed himself satisfied with what had fallen from the Right Honourable Gentleman. Mr. Alderman WOOD regretted, that instead of reducing the duty on spirits, the Right Honourable Gentleman had not reduced the duty on beer, by which reduction the middle and labouring classes would have been materially benefited. Mr. W I I.SON differed from his Honourable Friend, and thought that the Right Honourable Gentleman bad taken a most States m.m-like view of the subject.—The Resolutions were then agreed to. The I louse having resumed, the Report was ordered to be re ceived to morrow. On the motion of the CHANCILLOS of the EXCIIZQUIR, the House, In Committees on the Customs and Excise Acts, and on the Assessed • Taxes Acts, came to Resolutions in conformity with the Chancellor of the Exchequer's propositions. The Reports to-morrow.—The other Orders of the Day were disposed t,f ; and at a Quarter past Twelve the House Adjourned. TIM EVENING STAR I.ON ZION. TUESDAY,ITCCH 1, 1825.

Then it was, that although these sacrifices were made. cheerfully, yet an approaching Budget was lookei to with some uneasiness, and a dread that it would necessarily impose new taxes in order to meet the public expenditure. Happily, those days are past—peace has come, with its attendant blessing plenty; our commerce is rapidly extending—agriculture flou rishes, and our revenue, notwithstanding the great re ductions in the taxes, is constantly improving. Now, so far are we from looking forward to the Budget with dread, we hail it with pleasure, as theharbinger of good, and as the official annunciation of a further reduction in the taxes. Such was the universal feeling which per vaded the public, when, last night, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER developed, with singular eloquence and ability, the financial state and prospects of the Country. A. more gratifying, or a more clear and ex plicit-view of the flourishing condition of the country, was never made by any Minister in any country. Nor is our prosperity of a fleeting or temporary cha- j racter ; " it has," as the Right Honourable Gentleman truly said, " nothing hollow in its foundation, artificial in its superstructure, or flimsy in its general bearins and it may be contemplated with unalloyed admiration , for the harmony of its proportions, and the solidity of the basis upon which it is founded." Orr referring to the speech of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, which is so explicit as to require no comment, it will be seen that in the ensuing year there will be a reduction of upwards of a MILLION AND A HALF sterling. The duties remitted are such as are calcu lated to extend our commerce, and relieve—the first and fittest objects of relief—the middle and humbler classes of society. We pal ticulaily allude to the repeal of the v.liole of the House and Window Tax on dwellings under ten pounds a year rent, and with seven windows or under. By the repeal of those clutie; alone, a million of persons will be relieved. The Right Hon. Gentleman aho pro posed that the Datics on French Wines should be re duced from I Is. s i ld. per gallon, to 6s. per ditto, and those on Portugal Wines from 7s. 7d. per gallon, to 4s. The Duties onßritish Spirits from 10s. 6d. per gal. to ss. from Malt, and to 6s. from Grain; that upon Rum from 10s. 6d. per gallon to 8,. and that on Cyder from 30s. per hogshead to 10i. In addition to this, he would re duce the Duties on Hemp and Coffee one half, arid those on foreign Iron proportionably. We have no room to dilate on the advantages the country will derive from these reductions beyond the immediate relief they must afford. They are calculated to ensure three important objects:—First, to extend our commerce, &c.—Secondly, to carry farther the mea sures to put an end to the 66 montrousl evil," the " giant," of smuggling—and Third, to afford relief from direct taxation, which the Ministers are most de sirous of effecting, if not driven from greater objects. Nor is it merely the circumstance of reduction ; it is the liberal principles on which Government is anxious to place our commercial relations with foreign Powers, setting them an example of free trade, aad ready to re- move all prohibitory duties which limit or retard the intercourse of nations. The Right Honourable Gentleman, in the course of his luminous and highly gratifying speech, was fre queenly interrupted by loud and continued cheers from all parts of the House.

They notice the tumours which had reached that city of a Fi ench force being on the frontier, and state, that Portugal is on the best terms with all foreign Powers. A change, it will be seen, has been made in the Embassy to this country. The following are extracts : LISBON, FEBRUARY 14. His Excellency the Duke of Villa Hermosa, Ansba.s sador from his Catholic Majeay, arrived in this city on the 10th, from Madrid. For some days past evil-disposed pet sons have ci:- culated, in this Lit) , and province, the most absurd le ports, with a view of alarming that part of the public which is ill-informed. Among these reports, we particulatly distinguish one which states that there is a corps of French troops on the frontier ready to enter the kingdom, some say with pacific views, while others say it is with hostile intentions. To give more weight to these rumours, the ill-disposed add, that his Majesty intends to take a journey out of the kingdom. We are fully persuaded, from the good sense of the public, that no impassion can be produced by such despicable and wholly unfounded tales ; and, at the same time that we are authorised formally to contra dict them, we may affirm that besides that these re ports are entirely false, the Portuguese nation pos sesses the noble pride, that a Sovereign so beloved and respected as out's, has no need of any assistance from his Allies, to reign over hearts which have given him so many proofs of love, obedience, and loyalty. And, thanks to thyme PROVIDENCE, and to the wisdom with which the helm of the S:ate is guided since his MA JESTY recovered his legitimate authority, we have no thing to fear from foreign hostility, as our Governmect maintains the most perfect understanding and hat mony with Foreign Powers. FEB RUA R Y 15.—The Gazette of this date contains the offici;.l notices of the following nominations: I. Of Conde de Porto Santo, Ambassador to his Catholic Majesty, to the office of Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. 2. Of the Cotede de Sub-Serra, to the post of Am bassador to his Catholic Majesty, the decree appoint ing him Ambassador to London being revoked. S. Of the Marquis de Palmella to the post of Am bassador to his Britannic Majesty, instead of to the Court of Paris. These nominations are dated the sth February. This forenoon we received a file of Rio de Janeiro Papers, from the 15th to the 24th of December. A new remittance of 433,000 ounces, in Spanish patacas, contained in 144 chests, had arrived from London in the Rover, Capt. Coox. The EMPEROR ordered the Directors of the Bank of Brazil to take :he requisite steps to have this money lodged in the Bank, and the quantity and weight ascertained. These Papers contain 'several long articles, of an old date, from Bahia. The latest is dated Gth December. It is a dispatch from the Governor-General DE BRITO to the Secretary of War, Senor CARVALHO. He states that the province gives every proof of loyalty and attachment to his MAJESTY an :I the Constitution ; that the soldiers continue to pte-erve subordination, with the exception of disorders, of very rate occurrence, caused by the presence of those whose proceedings led to the late troubles. The troops which rebelled on the 25th, " set out," says the General, I , to-morrow, for Pernambuco. The citizens consider themselves as se cure, and everything indicates the preservation of order. From this time, your Excellency may be assured that attachment to his Imperial NW Esmond to theronsti tution, is rooted in the hearts of the inhabitants of this province, by the love which they have for the cause of reason and justice ; and that they will continue faithful to their oaths. The recent events probe how they dc test crime, how they despise fatal innovations, and how great the firmness of their character." A letter from Lima, dated a:tober 29, states, that the marines of his Majesty's ship CAMBRIDL.E sere withdrawn from it on the 1 tth. A few nights after wards, there being no troops in the city, several Englishmen were robbed in the streets of watches, money, dc:-. An application was, in consequence of this occurrence, trade by the 13iitish merchants to Captain MaLtNo, for a body of marines. With this request he complied, and sent up an Officer and thitty marines to protect British property. The Spanish troops, although no longer quartered in Lima, entered tl , .e city occa.iunally; and a body of them were is ationed on the road between Liana and Callao. Sma l parties of Patriot Montunera entered Lima almost every day; and it was not an unusual occurrence to see them n the Piazzs, or great square, one hour of the day, and a body of Royalist troops in the next. A Patriot force of 2,000 men from the northern coast pas coming to post itself between Lima and Callao, and (orm the blockade of the fortresses. In the event of such an occurrence, it was supposed that the patriot Govern-' ment would establish the post for Lima either at Ancon or Cherilog. BRITISH AND FOREIGN SHARES, TWO O'CLOCK.

ManittAGE IN Hum LlFF..—Yesterday evening, at Choltrondeley 11„use, in the Grand Saloon, Lord Iletrity C 1104,. stoxnestv was married to Miss A R ZUVINOT, eldest daughter of the Right Honourable CICARLFS ARNHEM:V:I% MELANCHOLY EVINT.—A report reached town this morning by the Eton Coach, and was circulated with the greatest confi dence, but which we should be glad to find prove uti:Ounded, of a pugilistic encounter having taken piece yesterday, between the youneest • con but one of the Earl of SHA FYI:S.BI2NY and a son of Cul. Woon, both of whom are scholars at Eton. Several rounds were fought, in the last of which the F.arl's son fell down in an apes plectie fit and immediately expired. Surgical assistance was promptly called in, but without avail. We cannot vouch for the perfect accuracy of the above, but from enquiries made at his Lordship's town residence in Grovesnor-square, we learn that an express reached town this morning at ten o'clock, and that in consequence his Lordship immediately set off for Eton. The servants are not aware of the nature of the communication, beyond the fact. that his Lordship's son had certainly been engaged in a fieht, and that something serious was the result. The Meeting at the India House, on the Hyderabad Papers, which we noticed as taking place yesterday, Was at six o'clock adjourned to this day. The examination of the bankrupts, Messrs. Marsh, Stracey, and Co. which took place yesterday, was to have been final ; but owing to the complicated state of the accounts, and the difficulty of ascertaining the precise amount which the late partner Fauntleroy had withdrawn from the house, it became necessary to ad journ the meeting. The next meeting will be on the 9th of April. Speculation continues extremely active in the cn. lonial market, the prices of nearly all articles of produce having experienced a large additional advance on those of Saturday. The rise is attributed chiefly to the large orders received from the prin cipal towns cn the Continent, where the general belief in a further decline in value hid led most of the merchants and dealers to keep a stock on hand only just large enough to carry on their ope rations. There is no doubt, also, that consumption at home, owing to the growing:population and wealth of the country, is ra pidlyextending. In the Court of King's Bench. yesterday, in the ac -63;4 De Berrisks o. Balez. the plaintiff was nonsuited. The ac tion was brought by the contractor of the first Constitutional Loan of Spain, to recover front the defendant compensation for a Ins, sustained by him, in consequence of the defendant (a Spanish mer chant, resident in Spain) not h lying remitted one hundred Spanish hoods or the loan of 1821. A letter of the sth of March we.* read by which the inference was, that the plaintiff had acquiesced in the line of conduct adopted by defendant, in regard t thehonds. Mansion-Hoesa.—Yesterday, Alfred Rrir.r, a young man of gentlemanly appearance, the sun of mo-t respectat,le parents, re-- 1 siding in the City, was brought before the Loan 'Mavos, 00 a charge of having in the morning swim two gold watches, from the shop of Mr. Dulin, the jeweller, in Cornhill. The prisoner de clined saying anything in his defence, and was fully committed for trial. Ilia sang froid rotcmiNhed every one. We understand that he has been for live years in the cffice of a very eminent Solicitor as an articled clerk, and that he has, during that time, conducted himself with propriety. There was a mill yesterday in a r , glar way, at Temple Mills, on the: banks of the River Lea, between the Pitman and Torn, the young Bath Tin a,an—it was for ten sovereigns aside, and sse:s tolerably well conte,ted, although there was little of science on either side. The Menem won in 54 rut 1,1% in forty minutes. The pl•ce or" meeting first apnointe I was Wanstead Hats, where danuary.anir Woodford fought ; but a Sent having interfered, riot, he said, he. cause he objected to boxing, but became he was an enemy to prO. there was a general trot sons the country, and the stakes Were fixed as above. There were not '.OO spectators present. Previous to the match, a yokel toot a fancy to pick a quarrel with Barney Aaron, who wet.; on the toad—and priding himself on his size, thought proper to aprly an epithet of contempt to the Jew . Barney " vouldn't Nice no offence from nehody," and at once chal lenged him to try his hand. It was ;greed—a ring was formed, and in four rounds, during every one of which tie big one was floored, Parent came off victerit. DIED.
