We think— lit. That CAPE WINES ought to be encouraged. 2d. That the duties on the surperfluous article of Tots AC co , ought not to have yielded to considerations about smuggling. 3d. That the Duties on all kinds of RAW COTTON, in cluding waste, will embarrass transactions in the great stsple of our Manufacturing System, and fall on the already em beggared operatives. 4th. That the Tax on STEAM BOAT Passengers will be vexatious, and obstruct a growing improvement ; All which might have been avoided by a Property Tax and Absentee Tax ; both of which would interfere with no industry, and the latter of which would restore the drains of Ireland and England, created by the preference given to the luxuries of residence in London, and watering places, and in foreign countries. We must, however, give Government the credit of having already reduced 63 useless offices, and of meditating the reduction of others—in all, 210. In regard to the remission on Newspaper Stamps, if it had been a clear two-pence, instead of being two pence, less Twenty per Cent. on four pence, that is not lid, it would have enabled the proprietors to sell at sd. instead of 7d ; but a reduction l-three-sixteenths, will justify proprietors in reducing the price no more than from 7d. to 6d ; and there fore, not tend to increase the circulation in the degree an ticipated by the friends of knowledge. The reduction of the duty on short advertisements from 3s. 6d. to Is. will be an immense advantage, not merely so cial but commercial. We foresee, however, many practical difficulties in the sudden transition to 2s. 6d. when 10 lines are exceeded and in this part of the plan there must be, we presume, some modification. A meeting of proprietors appears to us to be indispensable ; and we repeat our offer to become useful in the promotion of any measure which the Provincial Proprietors may con sider it necessary to adopt. _ _ We cannot close our remarks on the reduction of the taxes on newspapers, without taking the opportunity to declare, once more, our unalterable opinion on this subject ; which is, that all taxes on knowledge should be removed ; and we feel the more anxious to make this declaration, because the interests of newspaper proprietors, and ourselves among the number, are materially involved in the preserva tion of the present system. The governing maxim, which we are ambitious to observe, is, to speak the truth that is in es; and we are convinced, if a happy pilgrimage be the object of man, it can only be secured by allowing the day light of Heaven, to beam upon his path. In darkness he can only, by chance, walk secure from evil. In artificial twilight he is more apt to walk wrong than right ; but in broad day light, he is sure to reach happily the end of his journey. So thinking, we re gret that our present government have not done more ; but we think, at the same time, that it is a matter of con gratulation, that they have done so much. They have at least commenced to do well. Last night, about nine o'clock, a conference on the affairs of Belgium, was held at the Foreign Office, and continued in deliberation till two this morning. This afternoon the Members met again, and a Cabinet Council assembled also at the same time and place, and continued in deliberation for a considerable period. Lord PA LMEASTON was so much occupied with the conference, that it was late in the afternoon before his Lordship attended the Council. CITY, ONZ O'CLOCZ Consols, which left off yesterday at 791 to 80 for the so count, opened at 790, went down to 791; at present they are 791 to 80. In the Foreign Market nothing doing as ' Yet We have no arrivals this morning of any consequence, The citizens and speculators are chiefly occupied in expound ing and discussing the Minister's Budget ; and the monied interest are entirely opposed to the tax of half per cent. on transfers of stocks; they are in great hopes that it will not be carried. There is likewise great opposition against the taking off the duty on tobacco • instead of which the public say one million should have been taken off the assessed taxes, which would have greatly relieved the middling classes of society ; but upon the whole it is evident that it is a pacific Budget—no funding of exchequer bills, no hint for a vote of credit. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The Budget, and nothing but the Budget, occupies the attention of the public in the City ; and in general it is much disliked. The Funds, however, have Unproved since the early part of the morning,when they were done at 791, and afterwards went up to 80* for the account ; at present they are 801. The improvement is attributed to the Budget , not being of a warlike description, or any hint in it of . money. We hear that the armaments in our ports are still going on, to be prepared in case emergency should require our taking an imposing attitude in the present state of Europe. In the Foreign Market little or nothing doing at present. A Lisbon Mail is off Falmouth ; letters and papers not yet received. ".... ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY. Yesterday the anniversary meeting of this scientific body took place in the Society's Rooms, Lincoln's Inn-fields. Sir J. SOUTH, the President, in the Chair. The gold medal was awarded to Professor Damoiseau, of Paris, for a memoir on the Theory of the Moon (a subject lately taken up by Dr. Lardner, of the London University) and for his Lunar Tables. A second gold medal was likewise awarded to Capt. H. Kater, for his Vertical Floating Collimater. The collimator of a telescope, it may be proper to mention, is the line that passes through the tube, and cuts both the focus of the eye-piece and the centre of the object glass. Capt. Kateer's invention is esteemed a desideratum in astronomical science. _ Theusaial address was delivered by the President on the occasion ; it detailed the progress of the Society during the put year, and dwelt with particular satisfaction on the ad vantages to be derived from the King's patronage, the nau tical and astronomical sciences being so closely allied. Sir James South was re-elected President. The Society has now obtained the Royal Charter, and is made joint visitor with the Royal Society, Somerset house, of the Greenwich Observatory. The Meeting was I very numerously attended. AT TWO O'CLOCK. 1 per Ct. 1926, 1191 1.•'n11 Ann. inn. 1800. 17j 3-16 Old Annuities New, £lOOO Rich.

LONDON. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 12. •• • The Proprietors of Tim STAR, with a view to con tribute their mite inaid of the various great questions now pending, make a tender of their columns to insert Resolu tions of Public Meetings at HALF THEIR USUAL MODE RATE RATE OF CHARGE, and GS THE STAR is in establish ed circulation throughout the United Kingdom, the advan tages of such reciprocal communications between public bodies must be obvious. The copy of such resolutions may either be sent per post, or through the Printers of local Newspapers.—ln the Panorama, since its commencement on January 1, will be found the best, and often the only account of the proceedings of such Meetings, which has appeared in any London Paper. To-day we approach the Ministerial Plans on the sensi tive subject of taxes, those remitted and those modified ; as well as those substituted with a view to meet the actual public expenditure. The Duties are wholly removed on COALS and SLATE, CANDLES, GLASS, and PRINTED COTTONS, as well as some petty articles which produce little, while they create great annoyance. The duties on TOBACCO, SNUFF, and CIGARS, an to be redneed ONE HALT. The stamp on NEWSPAPERS, now nearly 31, is to be reduced by the sum of a fraction less than sty z VAR THINGS per paper. The duty on ADVERTISEMENTS, now 3s. 6d. on all, is to be reduced to Is. on those which do not exceed ten lines; but above that length are to be 2s. 6d. The duty is to be abated on Sales of Land by AUCTION, —all which at present yield a total of soca unuows; and made the surplus of taxation over expenditure, about 800,0001. To supply the deficiency, therefore, other taxes are to be imposed. The respective duties on Fatima', Poarvosa., and CAP! WINES, are to be averaged at ss. 6d. per gallon. The duties on Foreign and Canadian TIMBER, are to be raised to 50s. and 20s. A duty is to be imposed on RAW COTTON of one PENNY per pound. The duty on the export of COALS is to be laid at 10s. — on large and smell. A duty is to be levied on Passepgers by STEAM Vassals, of Is. on 20 miles ; 2s. on 30 ; and 2s. 6d. above. A duty of 10s. per cent. is to be levied on all bona fide transfers of FUNDS') STOCK and LAND. AU which it is estimated will produce TWO MILLIONS TUBES QUAILTIRS, and afford a surplus on the year of 300,0001. And the difference in the amounts will, in the estima tion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, diminish the public burdens, 1,340,000. The remission of old taxes is of course agreeable ; the im position of new ones, disturbing established arrangements of industry, is at the same time agitating and obnoxious. A taxed nation is like a man tied to a whipping post, who ob jects to the fall of the lash, on whatever part it is applied. We will, therefore, not insult any class of our readers by saying which of them is good or tolerable, more than we will imitate our contemporaries, in their quarterly exultation, about the amount of the revenue. We will, however, venture to express our extreme vexa• don, that the Parliamentary combinatiens have prevented such a tan on real property, on mortgages, ground -rents, and public fends, as not only would have compensated for the amounts remitted, but would have swept away the malt and soap tax, and the unwed taxes on houses rated at Was than - --Ary :,~' FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. Frost the ifesiteur of Wednesday. Feb. 9. PARIS, Fn.& " Letters from the Isle of Bourbon say that the General Council of that colony has thanked the Government for hav ing sent vessels to the coast to prevent the slave trade. It does justice to the excellent spirit and prudent conduct of the free emancipated people of colour. This part of ths population appears to be satisfied with their gelatins; bet the Council proposes to abrogate in their favour certain re gulations which still deprive them of part of the rights of French citizens. " For the present the Council confines itself to asking the abrogation of Art. 67 of the Supplementary Code of Gen. Decaen, which prohibits donations between whites and free and emancipated people of colour : it expresses a wish that the two colonies may, in this respect, be placed under the common law. " The Minister of Marine had instructed the Governors of the Colonies to see that in public acts the free people of colour should cease to be distinguished by that designation. We learn by letters from Martinique, of the 16th of De cember last, that Rear-Admiral Dupotet, without waiting for the orders of the Ministers on this subject, had ordered the immediate suppression of that designation, which was, in fact, contrary to the spirit of the instructions which have been given him. " Orders have been given by the Minister of Marine to the governors of the colonies, that slaves enrolled in the militia for a certain number of years, at the expiration of which they obtain their freedom, shall not be subject to the corporal punishments inflicted upon slaves, but only to the penalties prescribed by the laws of military discipline. " The Journal de Paris of the Bth instant says, that the Minister of War had addressed a circular to the colonels of the army, inviting them to prohibit any collective subscrip tion in favour of the Poles, which may be opened in the regiments.' " We are authorized to declare that the article is wholly Ihlse ; nothing of the kind has been written for or against. " We have received at the same time, by way of Geneva, St. Julien, in Savoy, and Belley, the positive information of I the nomination of the Prince of Carignan, under the title of Royal Highness, to the chief command of the Piedmontese troops, and of the strict neutrality of that Power. From the Ideseeger des Cbesabres Feb. 10. The Memorial Bordelais says—" Ve have to call the attention of the Ministers of War and Foreign Affairs to a fact which has been disclosed by French deserters themselves returning from Spain, and now pardoned. " In the environs of Grenada there are still nearly 600 French soldiers, who desire nothing so much as to return to their colours, but who, being ignorant of the amnesty, and fearing the dangers to which they think they would be ex if they returned to France, they unwillingly remain in The French consuls, to whom they have applied, seem hitherto to have dissuaded them from the submission which they intended to make, on conditions which would pave their honour. A French Captain lately took on board one of those soldiers, whom he had encouraged at Cadis to take advantage of the amnesty. When we reflect is the repugnance which the ancient diplomatic agents d Charles X. showed to restore to their country soldiers who would still serve the Government, we cannot but deplore the confidence with which the Ministry has retained most of the Consuls and Vice-Consuls in foreign ports, whom the late Government favoured. " The Journal du Commerce, in an article on the offer of the Crown of Belgium, nays—` It is said that if the King refuses, the deputation will declare, that the King being a minor, his majority will be waited for to renew the offer, and that the nation will be governed by a Regency in the mean time. We repeat this news as it is given us. We may add, that the deputies are treated with remarkable atten tion. They were to-day at the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, where seats were reserved for them. It is probable that in less than three days they may be present at a debate." ~.~ SPIRIT Olr THE JOURNALS.

THE KING'S COURT. BRIGHTON. Psi 11. The KING, accompanied by the Marchioness of ELY iu his carriage, went westward as far as Shoreham ; returning, passed the southern road along the entire front of the town, eastward, to Kemptown, went through and round it, and then, without having alighted any where, came back to the Palace. The QUEEN, with Prince GEORGE of CA MBRIM, r., Lord ERROL, and others of the Court, were on horseback, visiting, I believe, or extending their ride, nearly to ltot tingdean. The weather was mild and brilliant, and showy was the display of tonish equipages on the drive. The Duke of Sussex is considerably recovered, and en joyed a carriage airing. The dinner visitors at the Palace yesterday were— The Prince and Princess Linen, the Marchioness of Wellesley. Lord Wm. Harvey, Majoe-General and Mies Upton, Mr. Bedingficid Lord Templeton, and Cobs.' Pratt. The latter, just tram the Co urt of Hanover, has apartments at the Royal York.
