ON THURSDAY NEXT, THE 18tu, AN EXTRAORDINARY EDITION OF THE SUN ,WILL BE PUBLISHED, CONTAINDIG A SPLENDID PORTRAIT DUKE OF WELLINGTON, WITH HIS AUTOGRAPH, AND A FULL ACCOUNT the illicit traffic in opium, in which goods of any de scription will not be accepted by the smugglers. Our demand for silk is alio limited, and no fiscal change would add greatly to its co.,surnp• tion. Tea, then, alone remains to be exchanged fur our productions, and that would be supplied to any extent. In consequence, however, of the erroneous duty of 2s. 2i-d. (about 700 or 800 per cent. on the first cost of the cheaper descriptions) its use is greatly restricted ; reduction of the duty to Is. would more than double—its total abolition would quadruple — the consumption. A cheap and wholesome beverage would thus be supplied to the people,—for the abo lition of duty, and consequent reduction of price, would remove the temptation to adulteration, now so loudly and justly complained of, while our exports to the celestial empire would be greatly increased ; and it is more than probable that facilities for traffic would in due time be afforded, that would open new and hitherto unknown dealings. An increased de mand for the wines of France and other countries would likewise have most beneficial results, and afford additional guarantees for the maintenance of perma- vent peace. But these unquestionable advantages are to be sacrificed, in order tha(people may be enabled "to protect themselves, by abstaining from the use of the taxed commodity"—or, in other words, that they should be permitted to evade their just proportion of the public burdens. This i 3 neither fair nor equitable. If a certain sum be required to liquidate national liabilities, or to maintain the national esta blishments, it could scarcely be considered as a re- commendation of a proposed tax ; that it could be avoided at pleasure—that some might escape alto gether, while the well-disposed would have to supply their deficiencies, and thus bear a double burden. This argument would be conclusive against the system if well founded. It is, however, only so far as articles of mere luxury ar' coneprood that it is available. - ft would be ridiculous to tell the labourer or the sempstress that they have no cause of complaint, in consequence of the duties on beer, tobacco, or tea, as they might abstain from using the articles which habit has rendered essential to their comfort. The rich man may abstain from using wine, without suffering any great priva tion. Not so the poor man, who, if he has the means to pay for, must consume his beer, or tobacco, or tea. It can scarcely, then, be considered optional. The argument, therefore, is partly based on a fallacy, and so far as it possesses any real weight, it ought to be guarded against rather than encouraged, being neither more nor less than a premium to dishonesty—an in centive to evade just responsibilities. The argument that the people do not feel indirect taxation—that they eat, and drink, and smoke, with out being cognizant of the presence of the tax-ga• therer, rests on no stronger foundation. We are no longer children, to be bamboozled into payment that must be made. We should meet our responsibilities fairly, paying what is necessary and no more. The payment by indirect means was very desirable to sinecurists, who derived much larger means than they could do by way of salary. That grievance has been nearly abolished, and it is for the people to grapple with the still greater evil of indirect pay ments to the Revenue, which draws nearly 50 per cent. more from their pockets than finds its way into the Exchequer. ~We have repeatedly proved this fact. It is not merely the expense of collection which for the Excise and Customs may be arranged at 6 per cent., one being a little above, and the other a little below that amount, but the profits of the five or six intermediate dealers, which are calculated not merely on the first cost of the article, but on the amount of duty, and also on the profits of the preceding parties. Thus, let us suppose that goods pass from the first importer to a large wholesale house, then to one of less pretensions, supplying not the entire kingdom, but an extensive district , then through two different classes of retail houses, and that the profits of each be 10 per cent. This, we are convinced, is an under estimate both as to the number of hands (five) and the scale of profits. The first who pays the duty, say of 1001., charges 1101. to the second, who, in his turn, adds ill for his profits, an) thn, rc.orives from tho third, 1231. Omitting fractions, the fourth hand must pay 1331., and the fifth 146/, and the con sumer 1601.; so that for 941.—being 1001., minus 61. for the expenses of collection—the consumer pays no less than 1601.—a heavy price for the pleasing delu tion practised on his unsuspecting innocence. Better far to pay 1001., and that 991. should go to the nation, than to give 1601., and only to reap the benefit . of 94/. Direct taxation is, therefore, at once the most equi table and the most expedient. Sooner or later it must supersede all others. We do not anticipate that it will at once be established; but a step will at least be taken in that direction, and that will be by an increase of the tax on property to, at least, five per cent., or a shilling in place of 7d. in the pound. Mr. DISRAELI has pledged himself to allow some relief to the com munity. The small addition above referred to, along with the more equitable apportionment of the tax, and the extension of its operation, would at once place six or seven millions at his disposal —a matter of no ordinary importance to a financial Minister of capa city sufficient to distribute a surplus judiciously, and to afford the greatest amount of relief to the suffering li , classes. Among the subjects prominently referred to in the Royal Speech, is that of legal Reform. We are told that inquiries are in progress, with a view of bringing into harmony the testamentary jurisdiction of the several Courts, and that bills will be submitted for effecting further improvements in the Administration of the law. This is as it should be. It is conceived in the same spirit as that delivered at the close of last Session, when her MAJESTY emphatically declared that, " Every measure which simplifies the forms, and diminishes the delay and expense of legal pro ceedings, without introducing uncertainty of deci sion, impairing the authority of the Courts, or lower ing the high standard of the Judicial Bench, is a valuable boon conferred upon the community at large." Much has already been accomplished, but much still remains to be done before legal Reformers can rest from their patriotic labours, and sit down contented, with the state of the law, and the administration of justice. We may, however, congratulate them on the auspicious commencement of a Session that promises to be peculiarly rich in measures of Law Re form. Many Members of both branches of the legal profession have been returned to the new Parliament; but we do not on that account dread any obstructions to the progress of amelioration. Oo the contrary, we believe that it will exercise a material influence in expediting the necessary alterations. Several of these gentlemen have already honourably distinguished themselves, and will, we have no doubt, be desirous of achieving fresh laurels in their new and more'im portant position, while the others who have, for the first time, appeared in public life, will be anxious to assist in the business for which their professional studies peculiarly qualify them. _ _ There is,indeed, a general concurrence of opinion on the necessity for extensive changes. On this point Whig and Tory, Conservative and Radical, are una nimous. All admit the propriety of cleansing the Augean Stables from the filth accumulated during successive centuries. The only differences will be as to the details. These, however, will be easily over come when the efforts of Honourable Gentlemen will be directed solely to the amelioration and not to the rejection of the contemplated measures. A little unnecessary caution may perhaps occasionally be dis played—a fear of trenching too deeply on unknown ground ; but we are satisfied that the only object will be to avoid " introducing uncertainty of decision, or impairing the authority of the Court, or lowering the high standard of the Judicial Bench." " Looming in the future," we discern a speedy a a n tt d en s t u i c o c n essful alteration in the Ecclesiastical Courts. These tribunals have hitherto contrived to escape the and unme o a f oi t o he Legislature. A greater accumula cov lette r e accumula tion of legal cobwebs—a greater reverence for useless Courts of Justice . disfigured the of the reformers beganogreater attention to the than to the spirit of the law, may be indm other places professing to be Court Al f l the abuses that disgraced and era therereg than f" ms—a. found flourishin g hall.

In the first instance, then, an attempt will, we believe, ba made to render the impost more productive, not only by bringing a greater number of persona within its operation, but also by increasing the per tentage payable by each. There is a general tendency of late years in favour of direct taxation. The people can no longer be de ceived by the indirect mode. They cannot now be persuaded that it is better to have 30s. filched from their pockets, than to Fay 203. honestly and fairly to the National Exchequer. The late G. R. PORTER (a first rate authority on such subjects) explains the reasons why the objectionable system was so largely resorted to in the olden time. He says (Progress of the Nation, p. 476) "indeed it has always excited dissatisfaction, on the part of the public, to be called on for th e payment o f any tax, f rom w hi c h they have not the power to protect themselves, by abstaining from the use of the taxed commodity. It is this con ateldrrptiroenfe:v i ndirect has al wa y s ma d e ou r finance Minis led, d ur i ng t h e progress to direct taxation, and which imposhn:oofgress of a long and expensive war, to the itio duties that weighed with t destruc ive force upo n t h e we find a Candid sPrins o f industry." Here , then , c onfession of th e resu lt o f th e system ; 4 t it weighs th destructive force u pon the springs of indust ry , 'y daily bread th ose w h o are ' compelled to earn th e i r bre a d by their daily labour, and prevents the adoptio n of a really free and unrestricted trade. the to the entire o If our ports could be throw n en wo rld, if there wer e no im p ediment to of our prod uctions with those of o th er lnaterons ) . a n rchange extraordinary demand would be created f or i our ma . unparall e l ed prese n t un is o n l y n ufactures and natural productions of every d escri tion ; and th e country T w h o e u d ld em a a tt n a d in at an degree of prosp erit y -. limited by the means o f F aytnent. When w e a b ac i, the consumption of a n y commodity by onerou s duties, it is not merely tba i n dustry of the foreigner, that we are depressing, but also of our own p eo p le. Take our commercial r.,latiens with China, as a fair illustration. The select Committee cn the tea data s of in their report truly declare, that any a mount _ e English commoditi es th a t co uld be paid b for wou!d taken in the Chine se M ar k e t. They !Live, however, but three modes of payment, by means either of silver, silk, or tea. They can only spare a certain quantity of the former, and that is chiefly applied to THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 12, 1852. except to the parties immediately concerned, who have, generally speaking, many bitter reminiscences on the subject, and whose pockets are heavily mulcted on account of these frivolities, which would he emi nently ridiculous, but for the enormous and ruinous expenses thereby entailed on the victims. It is there that the leviathan sinecurist flourishes, who receives some ten or twelve thousand per annum, for doing nothing, and who feels a degree of virtuous indigna tion at hearing it supposed that he should ever be called on to do anything, or to con tribute 'the most trifling sum towards the expenses of having the real business of the office, for which he receives such enormous payment. There other jobs, as flagrant, although perhaps not involving quite so large an amount, are to be found. There has not, in fact, been the slightest improvement since the accomplished author of " Ten thousand a year" exposed some of the secrets of the Prison house, or since DAVID COPPERFIELD published his reminiscences anent Doctors' Commons. The same dull, sleepy, endless routine, conducted by the same family party, still goes on. The same sums are ex tracted from the community. And, cui bono, what earthly use or benefit is attained by the proceedings, except giving handsome incomes to the practitioners. There can, however, be no vested interest in such abuses. Barristers and attorneys have been deprived of many emoluments, but it was never contended that what was bad in itself should be continued for their benefit. The good of " the many" was pre ferred to the private interest of " the few," and ad vocates or proctors cannot expect to be treated in a different manner or with greater indulgence. It is true that " testamentary jurisdiction" is only referred to in the Speech; but there ca❑ be no di luted or milk-and-water reforms in this de partment. The entire system is radically wrong, and no attention or change can place it on a sound foundation. Why should there be any ecclesiastical jurinuctio. Are not the lay tribunals fully quali fied to deal with any questions that may arise, and to adjudicate according to the rights of the parties? Why should not the County Courts be authorized to grant probates or letters of administration in undis puted cases ? And why should not the Superior Courts at Westminster decide any point, however abstract or complicated ? If a testator dispose of real and personal property by his will, the validity of that will must be determined, so far as the real estate is concerned, by the verdict of a jury, and its legal operation by the Courts of Equity or Common Law, with an ultimate appeal to the House of Lords. But as to the goods and chattels, personal estate, and effects, a totally different tribunal must be resorted to. The Court of Prerogative decides on the validity of the will, thence there is an appeal to the Court of Delegates, and from that to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. How harassing must be this double litigation to the unfortunate litigants, and how greatly must it add to the public respect for our legal tribunals, when a will is sometimes pronounced good as to the reality, and bad as to the personality, or vice versa It is time that these anomalies should be cor rected, and we augur, from the announcement above referred to that her Majesty's Ministers have resolved on correcting the evil. When doing so, how ever, they will necessarily have to consider the other grievances. The original wills, on which so much property depends, must be placed in safe keeping. Those who have read the admirable series of papers in Household Words, " The Doom of English Wills," can readily conceive that these important documents cannot possibly be in a worse position than at present. They might be carefully preserved at less than a tithe of the expense now incurred, and facilities for inspection, searches, &c., might be afforded, now absolutely unknown. We believe that the matter may be entrusted to the hands of Ministers but we venture to remind them that nothing less than the total abolition of those nuisances, and the complete transfer of the jurisdiction, will content the public, or satisfy the reasonable expectations of legal reformers.

LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) EXCHEQUER COURT. LUMLEY V. GYE. lir. Creasy applied, under the new statute, for a rule to show cause why the defendant should not be at liberty to traverse certain matters contained in the declaration. The action, in which the damages were laid at 30,0001., was brought by Mr. Lumley, the late director of Her Majesty's Theatre, against Mr. Gye, the manager of the Covent Garden Opera House, for having prevented Mddle. Johanna Wagner singing at the former place of entertainment in accordance with a contract entered into with Mr. Lumley. The declaration set out that the defendant counselled and advised her not to fulfil the ent - ragPnaent, and agreed to indemnify her trom all costs and damages which she mig'it be made liable to by reason of breaking the con tract, Mr. Baron Parke.—On what ground do you wish to traverse. Mr. Creasy.—First, the averment that the defendant knew a contract was in force with Lumley when he en gtged Maddle. Wagner. I contend that the declaration shows no cause of action whatever. Mr. Baron Parke.—Do you pledgo your oath that the facts proposed to be traversed are untrue? Mr. Creasy thought the act did not require that. Mr. Baron Parke,—The act requires that the party shall state he is advieed and believes he has good grounds to troverse the several matters. The Court requested that the affidavits should be amended, and that the matter should be brought before a judge at chambers. COURT CIRCULAR.

During the present week, the arrivals of English wheat up to our market, coastwise, have been only 2,430 quarters, chiefly from Essex and Kent, and in very middling condition. To-day, the receipts of that grain by land carriage was small : hence, the show of samples was limited. For all kinds we had only a mo derate inquiry ; nevertheless, Monday's prices were supported. For forward delivery, very few transactions took place. The imports of foreign wheat have bee❑ confined to 5,370 quarters ; but the show of samples, ex granary, wax good. Several parcels changed hands for country consumption ; but the demand was by no means active at late rates. Floating cargoes were held at very full currencies. The shew of both English and foreign barley being small, that article moved off steadily, and late rates were well supported. In the value of malt no change took place. The quantity on offer was limited. There was a slight improvement in the oat trade, owing to the falling off in the supply. In prices no change was noticed. Be7ns, peas, and flour sold slowly, at previous quo tations. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour I Qrs, Qrs. Qrs. elnglish •• . • '2,430 1,640 310 [rich •• Qrs.

Notwithstanding that the supply of beasts on sale to day was very moderate, and in middling condition, the beef trade was in a depressed state, owing to the un favourable state of the weather for slaughtering, and the heaviness in the demand in the dead markets, and Monday's prices were with difficulty supported. The numbers of sheep were on the decrease, yet all breeds rule , ' heavy, at barely late currencies. We were rather scantily supplied with calves, in which only a limited business was doh, g, at late rates. The pork trade ruled dull, a► our quotations.

HEREFORD, TUESDAY.—SOmO sensation has been created here by the apprehension and examination of three men, before the Hereford magistrates on the charge of being concerned in a most daring burglary at Llanover, in the adjoining county of Monmouth, a few nights ago. The names of the accused are Thomas Murphy, John O'Brien alias Arnold and Dennis Higgins. They are charged with having entered Llansabbeth Farm, Llanover, and stolen 201., two pistols, a gold watch, and other articles, the property of Mr. George Window; and also with having assaulted the Rev. John Evans. and beat him with the butt of a pistol. The offence was committed under circumstances of great daring. It appears that in the absence of Mr. and Mrs. Window from home, the farm was entered between 6 and 7 o'clock in the evening by six men, five of whom were armed with bludgeons, and the sixth with a pistol. All had their faces partly concealed by crape or handker chiefs. On the men entering the house, a niece of Mr. Window, who had been left in charge of the premises, suc ceeded in effecting her escape and reaching the vicarage. She informed the Rev. Mr. Evans that thieves had en tered her uncle's premises, and the reverend gentle man imemediately repaired alone to the farm, where he found that the male and female servants of the establishment had all been made prisoner!, and placed in the corner of the kitchen, with their faces to the wall. The robbers immediately seized the reverend gentleman and compelled him to keep company with the servants. Soon after Mr. Prince, a neigh bouring miller, passing by, looked in, and he too was captured and placed with the other prisoners. In the meantime the cry of " thieves" had been raised in the village, and three men—a farm ser vant, an under-gardener of Sir Benjamin Hall, M.P., and the village harper—proceeded to the farm, when they too were captured and compelled to stand in et corner of the - kitchen with their laces to the wall. Having ransacked the house. the robbers made off with their booty, amounting to 201. in gold and silver, and the gold watch and pistols already mentioned. `The Government having t ffered 501. in addition to the reward offered by Mr. Window, for the apprehen,loa of the robbers, the country was scoured without effect, until Superintendent Payne, of the Herefordshire police, apprehended the prisoner Murphy on a charge of passing counterfeit coin, when he found upon him e couple of pistols, which have since been identified as those stolen from Mr. Window. Three other com panions of the prisoner were followed, and as they entered Hereford, the police seized one of them (O'Brien), who immediately drew a loaded pistol, threat ening to shoot the officers if they did not stand beck. The policemen, Bennett and Hawkins, of the Hereford police, seized his arm, and in the scuffle the trigger wiie pulled and the cap exploded, but luckly did not ignit e the charge. The pistol was loaded with powder and bal!. Higgins was subsequently apprehended at a Wert? to Hereford. A second loaded pistol was found on O'Brien. The prisoner O'Brien has since made a confession. Li e admits his participation in the burglary, and states that for the last six or seven years he has been living by . al! same species of plunder. He says five others assistea him, and that the other prisoners were part of the gang. On the day after the robbery, Murphy gave him (O'Brien) 51. 10s. as his share of the booty. Evidence having been taken of the capture of the prisoners, they were remanded. THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION.--STROMNES,g Nov.

Captain Inglefield communicated with Sir Belcher's expedition. ALBERT PARK.—A. large meeting of the inhabi" tants of Finsbury was held on Wednesday at Highbury Barn Tavern, to consider what measures should be adopted to urge upon the Government the necessity of securing the ground' already surveyed, for the Royal Park for Finsbury. T he Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, M.P., in opening the pl'o ceedings, expressed his pleasure at being called on to preside over a meeting so important in connexion with the interests of the borough.
