(In connexion with the Lynn and Ely, Ely and Huntingdon, and Lynn and Dereham Railways.) At a public meeting of the inhabitants of the town of Sohant and the neizhbourhood, held at Soham on Friday, 2d January, 1846, for the purpose of taking into consideration the subject of the proposed lines of railway through Soham and the adjoining parishes, JOHN DOBEDE, Esq., in the Chair, It was moved by 3lr. Husrwics, seconded by MT. KING, and resolved (with one dissentient voice), That the statements made in reference to the proposed Ely and Bury St. Edmunds' Line of Railway, .via Mildenhall (in connexion with the Lynn and Ely Railway). are satisfactory, and this meeting desires to record its sense of the desire manifested on the part of the promoters to consult the feelings end wishes of the inhabitants of this district in the formation of the line. It was moved by Mr. SMITH, seconded by Mr. HATFIELD, and re solved (with one dissentient voice), That it is the opinion of this meeting that the proposed extension of the Ipswich and Bury St. Edmunds' Railway from Bury, via Kentford, to Ely, is ill adapted to meet the wants either of the agri cultural or commercial interests of th's town and neighbourhood, but that the line proposed from Ely to Bury, by .way of Mildenhall, will be highly advantageous to the district, and this meeting pledges itself to use its utmost exertions to render all possible support to this line. It was moved by Mr. JOHNSON, seconded by Mr. ADDISON, and resolved unanimously, That in the opinion of this meeting it is absolutely necessary, as well for the public safety as accommodation, that a sufficient and commodious bridge should be erected by the Ely and fury Railway Company, via Mildenhall, over the line of railway proposed to cress the road by the stone bridge in this town. It was moved by Mr. Husrwicg, seconded by Mr. ADDiscm, and resolved unanimously, That the resolutions passed at this meeting be inserted in the Cambridge and Bury St. Edmund? newspapers. JOHN DOBEDE, Chairman. The Chairman having left the Chair, It was moved by Mr. SMITH, seconded by Mr. WILLIAMS, and re• solved unanimously, That the thanks of this meeting are doe to John Dobede, Esq., for presiding. 13, Great Marlborough-street.

The return of the net produce of the Revenue up to the sth of January, 1846, shows an increase on the quarter of 95,1051., and is so far satisfactory. In the article of Customs there has been a decrease of 547,5461. on the quarter, and considering the re ductions made by the tariff of last session, we con sider that the amount of decrease in Customs' Duties is smaller than we had any right to hope for. In the Excise there is an increase of 107,897/., and considering that the glass duties have been removed, we consider this increase a most satisfactory indication of the state of the coun try. The quarter's increase on Stamps amounts to 190,7441. We were prepared to expect a large increase under this head, for the railway speculations have necessitated an enormous transfer of capital, and every transfer of this nature pays a stamp duty. Under the head of Taxes we find a small decrease of 4,439/., and under that of the Property-tax a decrease 0f100,556/. The Post-office revenue shows an increase upon the quarter of 43,000/., and we feel assured, that if the Post-office were properly managed, an enormous increase of revenue would be the consequence. The Post-office should take advantage of the rapidity of railroad communi.;ation, and measure by time and not by distance. If what used to be the old two penny post delivery were extended to every district within four hours of the General Post-office (regard- less of distance), the revenue from the Post-office would show an enormous increase. There is a de crease of 25,00 C/. on the Crown Lands' revenue, and an increase under the head of Miscellaneous upon the quarter of 360,2811., but the last payment of the Chinese ransom-money is included in this sum. The total income of the quarter is 12,800,798/. ; and that for the year is 50,601,988/., showing a decrease on the year of 633,5501.—a very small decrease, when we consider the amount of the duties which were taken off during the. last session of Parliament. The total charge for the quarter ending January 5, 1846, is 8,740,084/. ; and the surplus, 4,275,3161. On the whole, this return may be considered satisfactory. It shows that the revenue in the long run gains by the removal of exorbitant import duties ; that the experiments which have been tried in the free trade direction have been more successful than their most sanguine advocates could have anticipated, proving to demonstration that the doctrines of free trade are the doctrines of common sense, and, con sequently, of sound finance. We hope, therefore, that Sir E. PEEL will, on the meeting of Parliament, be prepared to carry out those doctrines to their full extent by the removal of all protective duties ; and we feel convinced that, setting aside other and higher considerations, such a measure might be amply jus tified on financial grounds alone. As the meeting of Parliament approaches all par ties are filled with anxiety. They stand like soldiers on the eve of battle, pondering on the morrow's fight. All are agreed that a fierce struggle is at hand, 3 et the issue is hardly to be doubted. Ic needs no astro loger to tell us that free trade is in the ascendant; but the contest may be desperate and protracted for a while. The great body of the people are unanimous and resolved, and their resolution ensures the ulti mate triumph of the cause, but the duration of the conflict depends in a great measure on the conduct of those interested in the maintenance of protection. The necessities of the times and the wants of the people must influence the decision of any Govern ment, Conservative though it be. Apparently neither of these causes are sufficiently powerful to induce the aristocracy to yield an inch of their privileges. Even now, when the crisis is at hand, we find the Duke of RICHMOND and his brother protectionists upholding their favourite doctrines with all the acrimony and violence of desperation. " Protection' is the watchword in the ranks of monopoly ; lik e charity, it seems to cover a multitude of sins ; it is t a r s uly an it is fi b e-ou ea s uti n fu d l i . ng ‘word, t N e only a Protection nit for r th s e boa nfide British farmer"— "Protection for native industry"— how plausible,obl e Dukeshow patronisingare right igit does is it protectionappear. that An they And the N want ; but for whom ?—for themselves or the Brit ish farmer it is not difficult to determine. They indeed ~ seek protection, not for British industry. armers, b u t th e V lJut for e to have heredit ar y ownersßritish soil.in t e r e l s t v s h ; a t n a o v t a . f i o l h t legislators if they are unable to legislate for them selves ? Where would be the glory and greatness of England if the "lords of the land" were not pro tected? Who would then pay the mortgages on their estates, find portions for their daughters, seats in Parliament for their sons ?—who would furnish a gorgeous reception for royalty, or procure the delights of a battue for the courtly and refined ? Fear not, Noble Lords ! in the nineteenth century we could find no men barbarous enough to dim the lustre of th a Peerage, or deprive the country of the privileges of protection ! Feast on, therefore; there is but one objection, which no doubt your sagacity can easily remove. If the laws are only to be made for Peers, what is to become of the people ? Will your Lordships deign to answer so impertinent a question ? If we mistake not, you have already done so. The courteous kindness of nobility has proposed curry and such savoury condiments for the starving. Gracious condescension !—a few weeks may decide differently. In the meantime, we will leave "the friends of agriculture," and turn to a worthier portion of the exclusive class. The present number of the Oxford and Cambridge Review contains an admirable article on the " Corn-laws and the Aristocracy," written by one of the aristocracy themselves, and pourtraying the sentiments of the new generation. It is remark able for the moderation of' its sentiments, the calm and soberminded view of the present position of the landowners. It is evident that a large number of the latter must be at present in a state of considerable perplexity; comparatively free from prejudice and perversity, they are restrained from any movement 1.411 OUSLI 'Cal VI. ill./ ,E• in season will be most beneficial. Let them give their aora e. oho ar ticle we have referred to; it has evidently been written by one nursed in the pre judices of protection. Forced to think for himself, he has found that " the corn-laws form no part of the English Constitution." His old convictions still exert their influence; he sees "little to be gained" by their repeal, yet he also sees "much to be ha zarded by their retention." The following is the ap propriate advice given to the aristocracy of England: " First, they may abandon at once and altogether the struggle, and adopting frankly and boldly their now position, with all its dangers, duties, and responsibilities, offer the corn-laws as a peace-offering to the genius of their country, and thus prove to the world alike the disinterestedness of their past resistance, and the mag nanimity arid courage of their present assent. This course, we believe, has found recommenders at pro tection head-quarters, and has the merit of settling the question for ever. It is either a bold and wise resolve, or a cowardly and stupid concession. Believing, as we do with the late Lord Spencer, with Lord Lyttelton, with Judge Coleridge, and Dr. Chalmers, that the land of England would not cease to be profitably cultivated, although individual cases of distress and hardship night occur, were the corn-laws to be repealed—we shall not upbraid the leaders of the country party with treason or cowardice if they adopt this course. Great dangers require great ventures, and the moral effect of the gen tlemen of England coming forward, and doing of them selves what neither Russell, nor Peel, nor Cobden could do without them, could not fail to be immense and salu tary. But this step, if taken, must be taken with unblanched cheek and gallant bearing. It is the brave venture of men who, uncompelled, for their country's sake, leap, Curtius-like, into the gulf : there must be no murmuring, no complaining, no voting against the first reading of a Bill, staying away on the second, and voting for the third : no unnecessary abuse of others, no petulant attempts to render the sacrifice, if it be one, as little gracious as may be. If carried out in this magna nimous spirit, the aristocracy and gentlemen of England may rely on their resolve being appreciated by the people. No doubt the fatal concessions of the French aristocracy will be urged in bar of such a line of conduct. and the day that witnesses it will be designated • the day of dupes ;' but are the cases really parallel ? Are the corn-laws truly part and parcel of the venerable remains of the old English Constitution that have sur vived the rebellion, the restoration, and the pious revo lution ? Or are they not rather what Mr. Disraeli, we think, once called them, • an accident,' beneficial and wise at one time, the reverse at another; and to identify the existence or even the splendour of the English aris tocracy with the corn-laws is as insulting to that order as it is in fact untrue." If these counsels be followed as they deserve, we may augur well for the coming session. By setting themselves in violent opposition to all reform, the landowners may create a temporrry disturbance— they will ensure their own downfal and disgrace ; by giving isay for a time they will secure their own gnel fir ~1 nhundant " protection' in the grati tude of the people— " There is still a little left of time to do That out of love, which will be out of hate." On their decision depends not so much the triumph of free trade, for that is secure without them, but on their decision depends the influence they them• selves will possess on future occasions. We would warn them to beware in time ; there is such a thing as making a virtue of necessity, and there is also such a thing as passing the bounds of endurance. They have their choice—on their own heads be the conse quence. Whatever be the conduct of the older leaders, it is srith pleasure we find the new generation have come to a decision. It would have been inconsistent, indeed, to have found those who ever advocate the cause of the suffering poor, ranged with their oppres sors to rob the people of their bread. Professing high Tory principles, the writer of this article de clares he feels " too great a confidence in English energy, English skill, English soil, and English climate, to look with dread on a competition with foreign farmers," concluding with these words : " Should cur attempt fail, as we fear it will, and this country, that might be so powerful in its internal con cord, and must be so weak in its divisions, be separated into two hostile factions ;—should Welenda esi Cat thayo' be the cry from one camp, answered by No surrender,' from the other, then we trust, that all those who think with us that now by a bold wisdom on the part of the aristocracy the country may be spared the miseries of that strife, will then, their counsel having been rejected, and their generals determined upon war, sharo with them the dangers of this campaign, and fight with a good courage, though, like blameless Falkland,' with a dejected spirit and a troubled mind. If there be dif ferences of opinio❑ at the council, let there be none in the action. It is to aid those deliberations that these pages are written ; net to throw difficulties in the way of their accomplishment. But, in the words of Scott, ' the times flies fast on: let us resolve either for peace or war ; and let it not be said of us in future days, that six thousand Scottish men in arms had neither the courage to stand their ground and fight it out, nor prudence to treat for peace, nor even the coward's wisdom to retreat in good time and safety.'" The horrors excited by public executions, and more especially the scenes which occurred yesterday, when two persons were put to death for the greatest of all crimes —murder, have induced some of our Contem poraries to advocate the abolition of all capital punish ments. Such exertions deserve praise for humanity ; possibly they may be beneficial, too, in promoting civilisation, as they tend to discourage the morbid appetite of the vulgar for such sights, and hold up to public reprobation all those who can take an interest of any kind in the violent death of a fellow-creature. But, admitting these and other advantages, the question is still one of great difficulty, and it would become the Government and the Legislature to weigh well every probable result before any material alteration be made in the existing law. We are decidedly opposed to what are called " legal murders," as measures of punishment, and admit that they may not be so cffectaal in deterring mankind from com mitting great crimes as some legislators maintain. but still they may be justified on other grounds, and mainly ou the ground that the life of no human being is to be placed in danger from the wicked propensities or violent passions of another. Suppose a secondary punishment is inflicted, and these .wretched criminals are banished to Norfolk Island for life, is there any security that they will not repeat the crime upon an unsuspecting companion in affliction, or upon their taskmaster, or some other innocent human being whom their ungovernable temper, reckless of life, may devote to destruction ? There is, in fact, no security whatever. Nay, on the contrary, such a result has frequently occurred ; and it is no uncom mon news to receive from our penal settlements that a convict, guilty of homicide, with circumstances rendering it almost equal to murder, or another, whose depraved nature neither kindness nor severity could modify, had murdered his comrade, and ex piated his offence on the gibbet. Have the Judges, or the jury who recommended such persons to mercy, free keep o in f g bl i a n m i e m i p n e r l f e e e t t t i n e g o lc, upon s d o a n c i e g t e y r , o o u r s o eN h - e a n . nothing to answer f or ?

Looking at the crimes committed by the two wretched beings executed yesterday, what man can feel sympathy for their fate ? The one, a young woman, forgot the confi dence reposed in her by the unfortunate victim of her cruelty, rose in the night, and, with a rope, which she had purposely prepared, strangled while asleep her unsuspecting companion, that she might carry off undisturbed the paltry sum of five pounds. She might well repeat again and again on the scaffold "I deserve it, I deserve it." The other criminal murdered his fellow-labourer in a moment for saying a few words to his master. We will not appeal to the authority of Scripture, strong as it is, for sanctioning the execution of such barbarous criminals, nor say that public executions may not, by their frequency, tend to brutalise the mind ; but the question is, can they, with safety to the innocent, be entirely dispensed with? May not the good far counterbalance the evil ? and is it just that any man's life should be placed in jeopardy for the sake of carrying out a doubtful principle ? Some jurists have gone a great deal farther, and would in flict the punishment of death on every person who took away the life of another. Even the humane SMOLLETT would apply it to lunatics. In closing his reflections on the execution of Earl FERRERS, he says— " Perhaps it might be no absurd or unreasonable re gulation in the Legislature, to divest all lunatics of the privilege of insanity, and, in cases of enormity, subject them to the common penalties of the law ; fur though, in the eye of casuistry, consciousness must enter into the constitution of guilt, the consequences of murder com mitted by a maniac may be as pernicious to society as . an - crihe punishment of death can be hardly deemed un just or rigorous, when inflicted upon a mischievous being, divested of all the perceptions of reason and humanity" We have intelligence from Madrid of the 29th ult. The Senate had met on that day, when some of the usual sessional arrangements were made. They were to meet on the 30th to dicuss the Address in reply to the Royal Speech. 3 a,an The Three per Cents. closed at 36i- for cash, and 6 s t at 60a 2 days;3at 60 days. Five per Cents. at 231 for c Most of the Paris papers of Sunday contain arti cles on the Budget presented to the Chamber on the previous day by the Finance Minister, of which we gave the chief items yesterday. The public appears to he well satisfied with the statement, and its effect on the money market was favourable. Even the Opposition journals can say little against it, and both the Commerce and the Notional merely complain that when the finances are so prosperous, M. LACAVE La- PLAGNE has broken his pledge of last year, and refused to reduce the Five per Cent. Stock. The former admits that the extraordinary vote of credit for naval constructions and stores is very large. This vote, however, will be extended over several years, the sum to be taken this year being not more than 13,000,000 f. (520,0001.) Mr. POLK'S insolent remarks respecting the interference of European States with his unjustifiable encroachments on Mexico has probably been the main cause of this vote for strengthening the French navy. '1 he Presse, an Opposition journal, adverts to the financial statement in favourable terms. "The statement of the Minister," it says, " demonstrates that France has escaped the scarcity of provisions which affects other nations. We shall thus be free for a certain rise in price in some of the necessaries of life, and this additional dearness will last but a short time, as the approaching harvest is announced under the most favourable auspices. The Minister of Finance is, moreover, occupied with the consideration of measures to prevent the recurrence of the com mercial crisis which, during some weeks, pressed upon the money market of Paris, and which now ap pears to have arrived at its term." The Committee of the Chamber of Peers had appointed Count PORTALIS to draw up the Address in answer to the KING'S Speech. Accounts had been received from Algeria, dated December 27. BUGEAUD was, as usual, in pursuit of ABD-EL-KADER, and with the usual sueocss. It appears that he bad made another razsia, having captured near Gu e t e f a 500 of f the Arabs, and nd killed 200. I n th e prov i nce of I)ellys the tribes were said to be perfectly tranquil. But little business was done in the Funds on Sunday, but they were more firm than on Saturday, and the Three per Cents. had risen to 831. 10c.

This announcement made Ly the guard, tended to keep the feeling of curiosity alive ; and at last their patience was rewarded, for, about few o'clock, a private carriage, containing his Lordship only, drove up to the Eagle Inn, and was immediately sur rounded by an admiring throng. Lord Minto's carriage being awaiting his arrival, he entered it and drove off to Tinto Castle amid the acclamations of the gratified crowd. His Lordship seemed considerably fatigued.— Glasgow Saturday Po ti. . . The Marquis of Downshire is about to break up his hunting establishment at Baxterley-hall, near Ather stone, it being understood to be the intention of the Noble Marquis to reside chiefly at Hillsborough Castle, Down shire. Viscount Holmesdale, Lord Edwin Hill, &c., have been among tha recent visitors of the Noble Marquis at Baxterley. Earl and Countess Nelson, and a family circle, are passing the holidays at Trafalgar-park, near Salisbury. The Earl and Countess of Glengall, and the youth ' fat Ladies Butler, are passing the holidays at Caher Castle, Tipperary. The Noble Earl, who is in the enjoyment of im proved health, has not visited town for two seasons. Dr. Forster, the Foreign Secretary to the Ani mals' Friend Society, has just given the gratifying intelli gence to L. Gompertz, Esq., the Hon. Secretary, that they had at length got a law of police at Brussels which imposes a fine upon every person who cruelly strikes a horse or ass, cow, dog, &c., in the street. COMMISSION OF LUNACY.-011 Saturday, Mr. Commissioner Barlow held an inquiry at the White Hart, Clapham, before a respectable jury, into the state of mind of Mrs. Alice M'Queen, a maiden lady of fortune, 55 years of age, an inmate of Brook Howe. Mr. Prendergast supported the commission, which was unopposed. From the evidence of the unfortunate lady's friends, confirmed by Dr. Sylvester, of Clapham, and Dr. Monroe, it appeared that her mind had been affected for the last three years, during which time she had entered into engagements with owners of property i n Scotland, D evons hi re, and Clapham, and had failed to take possession, the result of which had been several notices of actions in the Court of Chancery. During her residence at Clapham she betrayed such unequivecal symptoms of iasauity as to call for restraint. The delusions under which she laboured were of a most singu lar character ; believing that the food given her con sisted of human flesh and bones, and that the tea was human blood, she resolutely refused to eat or drink fur a period of four days together. She refused to go to bed, aver ring that dogs were under the clothes. In a state of alter nate hilarity and dejection, she was visited by Drs. Sylvester and Monroe, whom she declared to be rank impostors, their object being to ransack the house. She believed, too, that she was living in coffins filled with dead bodies. Other evi dence of a similar character having been adduced, the Com missioner said he had just seen the unfortunate lady, whose situation was truly pitiable. She could not be placed before the jury, but, if deemed necessary, they might examine her. The jury refused to come to a decision without seeing her, and accordingly visited her in Dr. Monrce's establishment. The jury on their return declared their verdict, " That Alice M'Queen had bee n o f un sound mind from the Ist of January, 1845, and was incapable of taking care of herself or her pro perty." Saturday morning (no doubt some particular gale) produced, as usual, violent gales. At Ostend the damage done is incredible. Several boats were blown across the Dyne into the town.

A considerable business was done in Railway Shares at full prices. The statement of the revenue has not disappointed the ex pectations of those who take a warm interest in such matters as exhibit the prosperity of the country. The falling off in the Customs most unquestionably is to be attri buted to two causes—one very generally under stood, the other not 3et alluded to. Perfectly true it is, in the first instance, that the reduction and the abolition of duties upon imports has made a serious inroad temporarily upon receipt., but the great cause of the diminution is to he found, as far as the last three months are concerned, in the general apathy on the part of the commer cial interests to engage in new operations until some thing definitive is known with respect to the future status of the corn-laws. Upon the whole, it is considered in the City that the revenue returns bears a satisfactory character, and a decided feeling is gene ral that there are good grounds for a relaxation of the in come-tax. The Premier, in the opinion of many, would do well were he to limit the impost to those who have 500/. a year and above, and not to the low sum of 150/. Mr. Tuck, the compiler of the " Railway Shareholder's Manual," gives us, in his seventh edition, a fair illustration of the absurd apprehensions sought to be inculcated on the subject of railway extension. The writer very justly states : " But, were Parliament to sanction all the projects that have complied with the standing orders, requiring 200 millions of capital, the country could carry the whole into effect. without feeling the slightest symptom of exhaustion or distress ; and should this be the case, we shall have abundant opportunity to test the assertion, so pompously put forth by the Times, ' that we cannot add 50 millions of money to railway enterprize without the most ruinous, universal, and desperate confusion.' It would be impossible to complete these lines in a less period than four years, and that would give an expenditure of fifty millions per annum. Now, this country raises from its own population for Queen's taxes, poor-rates, church-rates, highway-rates, county-rates, and municipal imposts, a sum considerably beyond 100 millions per annum : it has been doing this for years, vet no one infers that it cannot continue to do it for many years to come. In this instance it takes from productive labour by the expensive machinery of taxation above 100 millions per annum, and distributes the amount on unproductive labour, and yet we are gr vely told that the country cannot expend 50 millions a year upon pr, ductive labour without producing the most ruinous, universal, and desperate co .tusion: " It is no doubt true, that if the 50 millions were required to be got together by any given day, some effect would be produced on the country by the temporary scarcity of money, as would also be the case if the 100 millions annually raised by taxation were withdrawn from circulation, and not let loose until the end of the year." -.-ee , srted to day, and it is evident that the revenue returns inspire con siderable confidence.
