(FROM LE zxurs.) The French Minister of War presented to the King, in a report, a general report of his operations, the importance and actin ity of which were already full known. The fol lowing summary of his report of the 20th of February, and of the supplement, dated March 18, will give an exact idea of the organization and administration of the military force of France : Etat Major General comprises 3,819 men ; Gendarmerie, 13,612; Infantry of the Line, 201,431: Light Infantry, 54,873 ; Workmen, Departmental Companies, &c. 10,728 ; two regiments of Carbineers, 1,8114 ; ten of Cuirassiers, 9.320 ; twelve of Dragoons, 12,336 ; 18 of Chasseurs, 18,504 ; one of Lancers, 1,026 ; six of Hussars, 6,165; School of Cavalry, 621 ; School of Artillery, 36,382 ; School of En gineers, 8.101 ; Military Equipages 3,748 ; Stationary Companies, 5,936 ; Increase by virtue of the Ordinance of the 17th of January last, for raising rite Infantry regiments to 3,620 sub•offtcers and soldiers, 39.660. Total force of the army when the last complement shall be added, 434.146. More than 91.797 horses, of which the Gendarmerie, Artillery, Engineers, dod equipages have 50,000. The service, accord. ing to the ordinary budget, was to have 224.530 men and 44,491 horses. Thus the Minister of War will have increased the force by 209,616 men, and 47.306 horses. The following is a close estimate of the expenses which this increase of forces will occasion.—Clothing, &c. 11,21(1,000 francs ; helmets, schakos, cartridge boxes, belts, 3,798,000; purchase of hoists, at 478 francs each, 21.666,000 ; harness, 4,901,000 ; supplies of food, as a precaution, 7,497,001; ditto of oats, 1,311.000 ; ditto of fuel. 675.000; coverlets, kettles, &c. &c. 2,236,185; military liosptrals, 800,000 ; military equipages, 145,000; gun carriage/4 siege equipages, &c. 1,400 000 ; lead and paper for making cartridges, 1477,000; 1.357.600 muskets, of which 285,000, brought from Eng. land, cost 32 francs 624 cents. each ; mote than 715,000 steel sabres; 9,000 cavalry sabres ; musquetoors, pistols, lances, bayonets, &c. 50,393.010; powder. 876,00; tools, field forges, &c. 145,1190; forti fications, vi mks at Paris and Lyons, 15.001,001; money and sub ence, 81.535,000; temporary expenses. unforeseen and secret, 6,76;1.1160; administration of the Elms Major, moveable battalions, ri cruiaing service, military justice, &c. 958.019; cccunation of the Mona and Algiers, 9 488,009. Total of the extraordinary expen diture, 226.1,33,185. To which must be added, according to the supplementary Report, the expenses of the tbrniation of a foreign legion, and of a new regiment of chasseurs. Tile re-establishment ot 72 brigades of hendm merle ei pied. to watch the West and South ; th e calling in of the class of 18.90; the establishment of 39 divisions d'arnbulunce, and twelve medical divisions. We may complete this table of the active forces of France by adding the staff of the moveable national guards, who are organising with great activity. THE PRINCE CARIG] The death of the King of Sardinia, which is hourly anti cipated, will make a change in the policy of that kingdom, pr at least in the sentiments of the people towards their go veinment. The heir to the throne is Prince Carignan, who, it will be remembered, placed himself at the head of the revolutionists in 1821, and proclaimed the Spanish con stitution at Turin. His Serene Highness soon found that he had pone too far—that he had thrown himself into a move►uent which he could neither support, direct, nor con trout -. that he would not be seconded by the people, while he would be opposed by the Austrians, and therefore he took the earliest method of getting out of his difficulties and dangers by running away. Being married to one of the daughters of the grand duke of Tuscany, he directed his course toe ands Florence, where he was scarcely admitted into the palace by his father-in-law even in the white sheet of penitence. Austria immediately sent a detachment of troops from Milan to Piedmont, and made short work with the scanty partisans of the revolution, who, being deserted by their chief, were reduced to a few regiments and some stu dents of the University of Turin. A project was then fo.. to disinherit the Prince, and to transfer the Crown of Sar dinia to the Duke of Modena, who had married one of the late King's.daughters To this violent change France was ipposed. The young Prince was therefore secured in his rights by that power, on his agreeing to join the Duke d'A►,goulewe in his Spanish expedition, and wash away his politic al sins in the waters of the Trocadero. Having pro claimed the Spanish constitution at Turin, and fought against It before Cadiz, he was again considered as legitimate, and will ascend the Sardinian throne without opposition. It is to be loped that his first act will be the proclamation of an same: ty in favour of those unfortunate patriots who have row enigma:cc! 10 years in poverty- and exile because they juined Cue stamina which he himself had raised.

POOR RATES....-A correspondent informs us, that he has let an estate in the county of Wilts, at a rental of 4001. per annum, the poor rates of which amounted in the year 1830. to 1701. 1 ls. ld. There cannot be a strooger proof of the increase of pauperism in that part of the kingdom, than the fact that within the last twenty years, the poor rates on the same estate only amounted to 481. per annum. A GOOD Eisstruz—We have much pleasure in stating, that H. C. Stunt, Esq. of Critchwell.house, Dorset, has appropriated a large quantity of land to the support of poor families, in small lots of about an acre to each.

At a general meeting of corn merchants, and others interested in the repeal of the existing law of hypothec, in Paisley, James M‘Farlane, Esq. in the Chair, the meeting unanimously approved of the following petition to both Hostas of Parliament : That the House of Lords have lately decided that a landlord, without any public intimation of rent being due, may, long after grain grown on his estate has been sold and delivered to a bona fide purchaser, and its price paid to his tenant, compel that purchaser, either to restore the grain, or pay its price a second time to him, though his tenant at the time of purchase may have been perfectly solvent, unless that grain shall have been brought in bulk to a public market, and there sold. That the only method by which a purchaser can be protected from the operation of this rule, is the enactment of a law, that when grain bought bona fide by sample, shall be actually delivered, and its price paid, the purchaser's right to the grain shall be declared complete, and all farther liability for the price at an end. That were sales by sample in this principle recognised, your petitioners cannot perceive that the security of landlords, as in sales by bulk, would be at all dimini s hed ; for, in either case. that security would cease at exactly the same point, the right of hypothec being good in both, until the grain had been ac tually lodged at its place of destination, end the price paid. That your petitioners have every wish that the Hypothec of Land lords should be preserved, but they cannot see why, in a commercial country like this, and contrary to every principle of reason and justice, it should be allotted to interfere so unfairly with the rights of bona fide purchasers. For, if this law be not altered or ameliorated, all persons who may purchase Grain from an Agricultural tenant, will, for their own protection, be compelled to demand production of his landlord's receipt, or other satisfactory evidence, that they will not be liable in re. petition of the price ; a measure fraught with the most injurious effects.— not only fettering and paralysing the sale of farm produce, but reducing farmers to that degrading position, as must, in the end, be most severely felt by the landlords themselves. The subscribers to the public advertisement, from consideration of the present law of hypothec ovor grain sold by sample, and from the per. sonal losses many of us have sustained from its operation, have also in timated, that in time coining, it, long as the law shall continue in its present state, we will not pay the price of any grain purchased from farmers, without being put in possession of satisfactory evidence that we will not be liable in restoration of the grain, or in any claim for re petition of its price, to the landlord. The new iron gig, the launch of which we noticed a few weeks ago, began to ply on Monday last. She is fitted up in a very neat and com fortable manner. /ler awning at once keeps out rain, and admits light. When light she draws, exclusive of her keel, only six inches of water. The weight of her hull, rudder, &c. was about lgewt. so that when her furnishings are taken into account, it is supposed she will not exceed 24 or 23cwt. She is on the whole a very neat little vessel, and rejects much credit both on Messrs. Reid and Hanna, who built her hull, and on Mr. James Boag of Johnstone, who fitted her upper works. These gigs now make the passage between Glasgow and Paisley quite regularly within the hour, and this increased speed ena bles then, easily to make an additional trip daily. So much satisfac tion are these gigs affording, that the building of another is already commenced. STEAM CAlRlAOE•—Considerable disappointment was experienced in town on Wednesday, in consequence of Mr. Gurney's steam carriage not being, according to previous exifcctation, exhibited in the Green. It was, however, run several times round the Barrack Square in the morning, in presence of a number of scientific gentlemen, several of whom were hoisted on board, and whirled along at the rate of between nine and ten miles an hour. The Duchess de Berri left Edinburgh last week, in consequence, it is said, of a desire expressed by Government that she should leave Britain. CAUTION.-A mars of genteel appearance, who speaks English im. perfectly, and who is supposed to be of the Hebrew race, has been levying his contributions in town during the early pan of the week. He pretends to have a rich bale of good* in some of the shipping offices or carriers' quarters, which he is in want of money to relieve ; but to show that he has no intention to impose, he pulls out some handker. chiefs, which he states to be of great value, and which he is willing to leave in pledge, and, as a farther proof of his honesty, he adds to them his fine gold watch and seals. Would it be believed that any gudgeon in these enlightened times would bite at this ? Yet such is the case. A person in Shettdon took bait on Monday, and advanced six pounds. It is needless to add, that he never again saw the Jew's face ; but, we may add, the six pounds are not all lost. The two fine handkerchiefs, and tt.e gold watch and seals, are expected to bring 16s. and the loss will then not exceed five guineas. Another attempt was made by ?sloshes at the West End, but it proved a failure ; the gentleman on whom the attempt was made, beim , rather (told Jarrant for him. He went down the river, we understand , on Wednesday last, and it is supposed he in tends a cruise in Greenock, but we hope our friends there will keep a look out for him, and moor him, and his silk handkerchiefs, and his gold watch, all on quarantine. GUILT PRODUCES 511seue.—Shortly before the 19th January, a Hibernian Swain fell in love with a decent, but, it is feared, a ne er do-west damsel residing in one of the neighbouring villages. He, in. dustrious and frugal, had made money—she, improvident and waste. ful, spent all she could get. On the day above.named—by fraud as he states—by favour as she states—she got possession of the key of his chest, and the hard-won products of his thrift, consisting of 331. in notes—three sovereigns—a gold ring or two—a brooch—new shirts—new neckcloths, &c. &c.—all went at one fell swoop. To Paisley she came, and in a short time " brawly was she buskit." On the strength of her personal charms, her finery, and her wealth, she set ' off fur Glasgow to live a life of pleasure. But on the heels of guilt and pleasure, says the austere moralsst, treads pain and remorse. A touch on the shoulder by the finger of a police officer, and all her joys fled. Her money ? spent ; her finery ? soiled; charms ? faded ; reputation ? ' gone ; hopes ? blighted ; fate ? a jail ; prospects ? trial ; sentence ? judge not. Rpm DROPEERS.- 46 What a fine pearl necklace I ha'e fun' I" said a girl in Lonewells, as she picked up one, a f e w paces before a draft merchant, who was trudging along on ednesday last. " Ane of the fine ladies will ha'e lost this gaun to the concert." " Half mine 1 " said he ; she could not say " No." A third party came up, a stranger to her, of course, who, knowing the value of the necklace, offered a pound for it. " na." On inspection, it was deemed by all well worth two guineas. " Who will b e th e purchaser ?" " gi'e a pound fur your share," said the numscull, who bad still wit enough to attempt to gain a shilling of advantages over the fortunate finder. In he went to a spirit cellar, borrowed a pound, paid off the claim of the finder, and set off homewards hugging his two guineas worth and chuckling at his good fortune, and his skill in bargain making. The census of the population of Perth, ordered by the Magistrates, with a view of strengthening their claim for a Representative in Parlia. mein, has been completed. The returns exhibit an increase since 1821, of 2.225,—the population of Perth being now 21,296, which, added to that of the Di ;dgentl, 2.160, make a total of 28,453.

Solicitor of Taxes for Scotland. TYNE MERCURY, MARCH 29. In the Tyne Mercury of last week we briefly noticed that a large meeting of the pitmen or colliers of the Tyne and Wear took place on I Monday, the 21st inst. on the Newcastle Town Moor. The number as. sembled has been estimated et from 20 to 24,000 men. The principal I grievances they complained of were, that they were obliged to remain three days idle before they received any compensation—that they were imposed on by being obliged to get goods at shops kept by agents of the collieries where exorbitant prices were charged, and that their boys were obliged to work fourteen hours per day in the collieries. They resolved to publish a statement of their grievances, to send a petition 'to the Lord Chancellor or the House of - Commons, as should be con. sidered most expedient, in order to obtain redress, and to subscribe among themselves to send delegates to London to support their petition. —To resolve to send a petition to the Lord Chancellor, or the House lof Commons, is absurd : the law at present is sufficient to afford them relief. But with reference Ito the requiring to be paid for every day they remain idle, instead of having to remain idle three days as at pre sent before they are compensated, is more questionable : it is in ef f ect asking the coal owners to engage to give them constant work or constant pay, which is the same thing. This is not reasonable, and can never be conceded. It would be the utter ruin of the coal owners ; for they must, in such an event, be paying immense sums for working coals which they could not dispose of. In either case they will ruin them. selves and their families, and become houstless wanderers. They talk of applying to the parish or the magistrates fur relief, if they cannot get employment on their own terms. Neither the parish nor the ma gistrates could give them pecuniary aid. We regret to observe that a mischievous disposition has manifested itself among some of the pit. men some of them, it appears, stripped naked and exposed a man on the highway, at Walker, on Monday last, while another party, at Bigge's Main, cruelly ill treated a woman. These outrages cannot be suffered. We do not charge them on the pitmen as a body : let the guilty only be punished. But such and greater outrages, probably, may ensue, if an accommodation be not speedily come to between these men and their employers. If the pitmen do not work in the coal mines, the keelmen will be thrown out of employment, as their services will then no longer be required : then the sailors will follow—and thus the trade and business of fhe port may be com pletely deranged. The intelligence of the reform bill having been rest! a second time reached this town on Thursday night last, and excited a powerful sen sation. The bells of the different churches rang - merry peals on the occasion. The joyful intelligence of the second reading of the Reform bill be ing carried was received at North Shields, with every demonstration of I joy. , The bells rang to a late hour, and bands of music paraded the streets playing many loyal and patriotic tunes. On the evening of the day that the receipt of the news of the majo riry on the Reform bill reached South Shields, a large bonfire was lighted up in the market place, which, amidst the frequent cheetings of, a great number of people, was kept blazing till nearly midnight,—a good old English fashion of expressing their satisfaction and joy. On Friday, at Hexhatn, after the arrival of the news that the Reform bill had been read a second time, flags were hoisted on the church steeple, and the bells rang many a merry peal throughout the day. DORNAM CITY ELECTION.—The contest for the city of Durham concluded on Wednesday, when Mr. Trevor retired from the poll, and Alt. W. Chaytor, Jun. was declared duly elected, after a struggle the most severe ever recollected in that city. At the close the numbers stood thus :—For Mr. Chaytor 495, Mr. Trevor 470—leaving a *ma jority of 25 in favour of the popular candidate, independent of three which were given to Mr. J. C. Chaytor, his brother, for a legal pur. pose. Mr. Chaytor stood on the broad principle of " the bill," whilst Mr. Trevor avowed himself a moderate reformer. On Thursday morning last, a serious accident happened to the Union coach, on her way from Newcastle to Edinburgh, as she was crossing Morpeth Bridge. When coming down to the North end of it, one of the horses turned restive; and the drag not being on, and the coach very heavily laden with passengers and luggage, it overturned with a fearful cra.h, when two of the passengers and the guard were much hurt. One of the passengers, Mr. Lawson, of the Leazes Cres cent, Newcastle, (late of the Old Moor, near Slorpeth,) was so much bruised internally, that he expired on Sunday evening. A meeting of the clergy officiating in Warrington and the neigh bouring places, was held at Warrington, Winwick, Presscott, Leigh, anti Wigan, to the number of thirty. An address to the King was agreed upon, and a petition to the two houses of parliament, praying that such alterations may be made in the liturgy, canons, and rubrics of the established church, as the necessity of the case may require. MARRIED.—Mr. Edward Bell, to Ann Elizabeth, only daughter of B. Tow, Esq. all of this town.—Mr. George Watson, to Miss Mary Chisman, of Bishortwearmouth.—The 16th instant, Joseph Pease, Esq. of Darlington, to Miss Anna, second daughter of the late Mr. Thomas Bradshaw, of Milecross.kidge, county of Down, Ireland. DIED.—At Essington, Sarah, wife of Mr. George Todd, aged 1 66.—At Carlisle, aged 77, Miss Mary Whirling., daughter of the late Jeremiah Whirling*, Esq.—At Atcomb, near York, Mr. Thomas Sotheran, bookseller, in that city.—Mr. Alexander Guthrie, late book seller in Edinburgh. THE DUBLIN PILOT. In s letter to the Lord Lieutenant, Dr. Richard Grattan suggests the following plans for the relief of Ireland, beginning with Goldsmith's mowing " 11l fares the land to hastening Ills a prey, Where wealth accumulates and men decay. Princes and Lords may nourish and may fade, A breath can make them, as a breath has made. But a bold peasantry, their country's pride, When once destroyed, can never be supplied." First—The total abolition of church and ale cess. Secondly—The appropriation of the fourth parr of the church pro. petty, which formerly belonged to the poor, to purposes of local charity and benevolence, such as parish loan funds, and the relief of the sic and indigent. Thirdly—The appropriation, by government, of all church propaty, with the exception of that which belongs to the poor, for the purpose of forming a fund for the reasonable payment of the clergy of all de nominations, for the building and repairing houses of worship, for edu cation, for hospitals and dispensaries—the surplus, if any, to be applied to the National Loan Fund. _ Fourthly —The formstion of a National Loan Fund, by the imposi tion of a tax, not upon income, but upon actual property of every description, Increasing in a rati o proportioned to the property of the individual, so that those who have a larger property shall pay a higher poundage than those whose property is smaller, the entire produce of this tax to be expended in Ireland, for the purpose of providing regular employment for the poor, and encouraging undertakings of useful and productive labour. Fifthly—A tax upon all waste and unimproved lands ; the lands to be sold after a certain time for the payment of the tax, unless the pro. prietor, or his tenants, shall have expended, and shall continue to ex- pend, upon their culture an adequate sum, to be estimated according to a certain fixed principle ; in which rate, such land so improved, or in the progress ro impotement, shall be altogether free from charge. Sixthly—Certain measures, to counteract the ruinous effects, to the labouring classes, of improvement in machinery so as to equalize in some degree, the competition between die machine and manual labour. On Friday upwards of 4,000 men turned up a considerable tract of land in the Holy Island, in the Upper Shannon, near Scariff. This species of outrage upon private property has now become quite common with the peasantry in Clare.— Limerick Chronicle. In the Dublin Gaselier of last night there are ninety-one notices from Insolvent Debtors in the city of Cork alone ! Mr. Blake Foster was arrested on Monday last, by two magistrates and a party of lancets, and committed to Gott bridewelL The charge against him, we believe, is for having recently attended some meetings of the peasantry in the open air.—Contraught Journal. In the list of pensions for loss of emolument hi consequence of the passing of the act of Union, is the name of "John Leslie Foster." It is down for 01.55. per annum 1 ! The office held by Mr. Foster, for which this is a compensation, was ' secretary to the speaker." The debt of Ireland was, at the close of 1829, 31,626,3901. the charge of which, according to the finance accounts, was 1,189,3891. At the commencement of the year 1824, the debt was but 26,340,130. and the charge 1,008,1251. Hence Ireland had, in the six inter vening years, reduced the debt of England, and increased her own, 5,285,7601. by which she inerea.sed the charge on her reverue, and lessened the charge on the English Revenue of 172,000 pounds a year. The duty to the crown on sea.-borne coals 1. utterly abrogated. Since the Ist of hatch, the revenue has required the captains of coal ships, or their agents, to subscribe an undertaking, that if the bill now in pro. ma, foe the repeal of the coal duty, did not pass into a law, they would be accountable for the amount of the tax, and pay it, if demanded. This is no longer the case. Coals are now imported, as far as concerns the duty to the Crown, wholly free of interference on the part of the revenue, and the consumer is consequently entitled to an abatement in price equal to the duty of Is. 74. per ton. The local duty to the Wide. street Commissioners, amounting to lld. per ton is, however, still col lected, and for the sake of this insigni fi cant exaction, (from hich coals for manufacturers' use are free), the charge of sixpence per ton to the revenue officers—the meters—is enforced against all coals. for whatever purpose they may be Intended.

John Lee and Florenoe Unearth, were capitally bulked breaking and entering the dwelling-house of John Tremblej, on it Ist of February, and stealing therein eight sovereigns, and a v O , t , of linen and other articles. Dlr. CLARKSON conducted the case for the prosecution, and call , the following witnesses : Sarah Trembley. the prosecutor's wife, stated that she lived it Sylvan-grove, Camberwell. On the Ist of the last month, at five o' c l ock in the afternoon, she left home, for the purpose of visiting a friend_ previous to doing so, she locked up ten sovereigns in a cabinet which was secured by one of Bramah's patent locks. She left the house a n d her infant child in the are of Elizabeth Turner. She received infe r mation that a burglary had been committed, and returned hom e . Ap e ; hearing the statement of Elizabeth Turner she went into her own b e d. room, and the first thing she examined was her cabinet, and found that the ten sovereigns had been abstracted. On further search, found 111 her table nine skeleton keys. Elizabeth Turner stated, that after the last witness left the hous e o, ' . secured the doors and windows. About nine o'clock s h e h eard a noir e in an adjoining room, and presently saw a man entering by the foldin g doors, who on seeing witness pulled something over his face.... s b, screamed out, and the man said, d—.o your eyes, hold you: tongue ; i ; you'll be quiet 1 won't hurt a hair of your head. The man (whom A. believed to be the prisoner Lee) then snatched up the candle and I n f, the room, and admitted another man into the house, giving ben strict injunction to take charge of the street door and the passage. The mar asked where her mistress was, and she told him it was no use his re. maiming there her mistress was out, and there was nothing for him to take. The man then went up stairs, and witness then gave a •econd alarm, when he cried out to the other man and said, " what did she say"—adding, stop her b—y mouth, or knock her head a:"... " shortly after a knock was heard at the door, and witness s a id, thank God my friends are come, they are outside. I expected my sister and my brother." The other prisoner who had charge of the door gave an alarm to Lee, who was up stairs, and they both made off: Selina Baker stated, that a quarter before nine o'clock she took some fish to the last witness in two plates with melted butter upon them. When aim got there, heard Turner screaming violently, and knowing her voice, and suspecting something wrong was going on, ran to the gate and called out murder. The two prisoners passed her while she was giving the alarm. Dl'Carthy said, " D—n your eyes, hold your b-.y tongue, or save you out: He had an instrument in his hand, with which be struck her—she in defence threw the fish with tile butter on it at him, and it struck him, part of the butter went over her shawl. She saw a man at a distance of about four hundred yards. 1 with something on his head. The prisoners passed her as they ran away. Robert Lusby, a fishmonger, stated that at about a quarter-past nine he was passing along the Sylvan.grove, when he heard scriams and a cry of murder. Two men passed him, who were coming in direction from the prosecutor's house. He had a load of fish 'on bit head. 11I•Carthy was one of the men who passed on his right, and man resembling Lee passed on the opposite side, who had a new fashionable hat on. As they passed he heard one say to the other, " How that b—y bitch calls out;" and the other said, "if it had nut been for the police ali would have been right." Martin Kennett, R. Division, No. 158, stated, that in consequence of information, be apprehended the prisoner Lee at the New Cross, Deptford, and conveyed him to the station-house, and on examining his person. found a phosphorus box, a steel flint, a black cap, made front a stocking, and other housebreaking implements, and in his pocket a right shoe. After locking him up in the station-house, from further information, he wok his place by a Greenwich stage, and while on the roof of it saw the other prisoner, 14I'Carthy, in the road, going towards the New Cross, He jumped off the coach and took him into custody, and on his person found a left shoe, the fellow to the one found on Lee ; and upon examining the shoulder part of his coat, there were large marks of grease, as if butter had been thrown on it; and he also took from him a new fashionable hat, which he then wore. He then went to the witness, Selina Baker, and asked to see her shawl, which she said had been greased ; and on comparing that with the prisoner's coat, the appearance of the grease corresponded exactly. The prisoners, in their defence, attempted to prove an alibi, but Mr. Baron Darrow summed up the evidence, and the jury, without any hesitation, returned a verdict of guilty—Death, against both of the prisoners. IMPORTANT CASE.- -At the Norfolk Quarter Sessions held at Norwich, on Wednesday, the court came to an im portant decision on the Poor Laws, on an appeal by the Rev. Dr, Bulwer, Rector of Cawston, against the poor mks for that parish. The Doctor had been rated at 5501. fur his tithes, against which he appealed, upon the ground that it exceeded a fourth of the assessment upon the titheable pro perty of the parish, which he contended was the proportion at which tithes should be assessed to the poor's rate. The Court dismissed the appeal, being unanimously of opinion that there was no rule in law for fixing a proportional assessment on tithes compared with land, and that the only principle was to assess all real property according to the productive value or profit -vhich it yielded. This deter mination is important, as it recognises a principle, the ge neral application of which at the present time, will neces sarily be attended with the most serious results both to the farmer and the clergy, upon the latter of whom the chief hurdler, of supporting the poor will now, as in former times, be thrown. According to this principle, it is evident that at the present prices, the assessment upon land ought to be merely nominal, and that tithes should be assessed at their full amount, it being notorious no profit whatever is now afforded from land in general, and that what ever the landlord receives in the name of rent, is in fact a payment out of the farmer's capital, while tithes being taken clear of taxes and all other expences attending the raising the crop, are nearly all profit. This decision has excited a great sensation in Norfolk, and the farmers in many places, have already insisted upon a reduction of their assessments, and upon rating the clergy to the full amount of their tithes as well where they are compounded for, as when taken in kind. Let the farmers generally adopt this plan, and they will not only obtain immediate and considerable relief, but in a few months they will see the clergy as clamorous for reform as the most devoted radical ; for nothing short of re form, (any alteration in the law being wholly out of the question,) can now prevent the tithes being wholly swallowed up in poor rates. The above principle was acknowledged in its full extent, a short time since in the Court of King's Bench. Mr. Justice Holroyd, having expressly declared, that " a rate on laud is in effect a rate on the profits of land, or where there are no profits, there is no beneficial occupa tion," vide vol. iv. Burn's Justice, p. 77. Chetwynd's Edit. - - Yesterday, in the Insolvent Debtors' Court, Edward Jonc4, late of Canterbury. grocer, was opposed on behalf of Meow. Barnett and Co. and several other creditors. He had formerly conk(' on business in Speldhurst.street, St. Pancras. The ground of the op position to his discharge now was, that he had been guilty of fraudulent conduct. and had conspired with his brother to cheat his creditors. — After a long examination, the Court adjourned the case sine die, Mr. Commissioner Law observing, that when the insolvent had inserted in his schedule the debts contracted by him in Spcldhurst-street, and served his creditors, he would be remanded to the full period authorised by the act of parliament, viz. twee years. ;THS.
