The plan (seldom in practice anterior to the passing of the Reform Bill) of requiring the represented to have an account of his stewardship from the repre sentative, received a valuable improvement from Mr. JOHN MACGREGOR, one of the Members for Glasgow, the second city in the empire. He was the first to present himself before the non•electors, as well as the electors, and each successive meeting has only tended to confirm and strengthen the mutual confir dence which has sprung up between them. He has served them ably and faithfully, and they are grate ful to him for what he has done. No man in the House of Commons is so well acquainted with every• thing relating to the Trade and Commerce of the country. His whole life, in and out of office, has been devoted to this subject, and his opinion is of great authority in and out of Par liament. In his speeches, in his writings, Mr. MACGREGOR is plain, terse, and explicit—he indulges in no verbooity—he aims at nothing beyond the ex pression of his thoughts, so that their meaning cannot be mistaken—he eschews mere figures of rhetoric, but no man more satisfactorily deals with figures of arithmetic. His proper position would be in the Ad ministration ; but he has disdained the vulgar arts by which men creep or wriggle into office. He is too strongly attached to his principles to compromise them by any concession to " the powers that be"—he proudly prefers to occupy the highest position an honest man can hold in this country, that of an independent representative of the people. We hesitate not to say that if Mr. MAcGaEcoß's principle of taxation were adopted (and it is coming into opera tion bit-by-bit), the fiscal burthens of the people would be lessened and equalised, while the Public Revenue would be greatly increased. Years before Free Trade was agitated for, Mr. MACGREGOR had published the proofs of its paramount and inevitable ❑ecessity. When Sir ROBERT PEEL revised the Tariff it was Mr. MACGREGOR (then one of the Secretaries of the Board of Trade) who furnished him with the plan and communicated the information which he required. Mr. MACGREGOR has just been before his constituents and non•constituents at Glasgow. The Council of the Parliamentary Reform Association in that city have held a great meeting, at which Mr. MACGREGOR attended, •by special invitation. At that meeting (where it was resolved that household suffrage, vote by ballot, equal electoral districts, triennial Parliaments, and no property qualification, were requisite to ensure a pro per representation of the people) Mr. MACGREGOR stated and explained his views, in a speech of great force and ability. He started with the admitted truth that " Taxation without Representation is ty ranny," and he showed how the people are not repre sented—for out of about four millions of adult males not quite one million have votes. He said, "We are not fairly represented ; and it gives me the greatest possible pain that we are not justly represented. We are not properly represented in Parliament, neither are we represented in the Government of England. Ireland has a Lord-Lieutenant, and a Secretary of State, who has the same salary as the Prime Minister —5,000/, a year. Now, I don't want a Lord-Lieute nant for Scotland, but I want a Secretary of State for Scotland, who should take cognizance of all the circumstances connected with Scotland, and who should hold office near the Crown, so that we may be pro perly represented in the Government. True, we have a Lord Advocate in the Parliament House of Edin burgh, who spends his time there, taking his fees, wren he ought to be watching the affairs of Scotland in the Parliament at Westminster. I find that there are sixty-seven burghs in England that have exactly the same population as twice that of the Gorbals, and these send 134 Members to Parliament, each of wh om has as much power in the House of Commons as each of the Members for Glasgow, and I say that it is, therefore, the more necessary that the resolution pro posed to you to-night should lay down, as it has done, that no Ministry will have the confidence of this country if they do not bring forward a great mea sure of P ar li amen t ary liefirm."—Not a mise rable, Peddling, deceptive, nominal, make-believe, measure, such as Lord JOHN P.usseer. had the bold ness and impertinence to introduce during last Session, but a real and substantive Reform, which will give ex t en d ed and equal representation. No Ministry, ne g l ec ti ng this, can hope for permanency : granting it, any Mi n i stry may reckon on popular sup port and gratitude. Should the present Ministry ask to introduce a system of taxation which will further relieve the Agriculturists by imposing restriction s and burdens upon the industrious and manufacturing trading ...135ses, Ir. MACGREGOR will oppoB 3 it.

CONTENTS. ration of ABD-EL-KADEE. He appears in deed to have been instructed to consult with his Majesty the SULTAN respecting the removal of the EMIR from the French to the Turkish domi nions—the PRINCE PRESIDENT having resolved to set the Arab Chieftain at liberty in a short time, accord ing to the terms of the promise contained in his well known letter to the Marquis of LONDONDERRY. We have little doubt but that, everything considered, the heart of ABDUL MEDJID will respond eagerly to the humane intentions of Louis N APOLEON in reference to the intended release of ABD-EL-KADER. In Eng land it cannot very soon be forgotten how nobly the young SULTAN sympathised, in 1847, in the dreadful sufferings endured by Ireland in consequence of the simultaneous appearance of Famine and Pes tilence. In Hungary, again, it must long be remembered with what heroic magnanimity the same potentate shielded Louis KGSSUTH and his glorious compatriots, when they were hunted to the death by the banded Emperors of AUSTRIA and of all the RUSSIAS. A ruler who could act thus gently towards a remote people like the inhabitants of Ireland, and thus bravely towards a defeated and fugitive leader like the ex-Dictator of the Hungarians, may assuredly be supposed, without much extrava gance, to appreciate to the full the justice and the generosity of the act by which Louis NAPOLEON proposes to effect AND-EL-KADER'S tardy, but not the less on that account acceptable, liberation. During the ball recently given to the Chief of the French Republic by the working classes of Mont pellier, it may have been observed that numerous cries were raised by the artiz ins present of " Vive C The PRINCE remarked these cries, according to one who was present and witnessed the incident, but said no thing and took his seat upon the astrade prepared with a chair of state for his reception. But subsequently, on his rising to depart, and while he was in the act of descending the steps, the same cries were repeated. " The PRINCE stopped," says the eye-witness, " and in a calm and firm voice said, I hear cries of Tire l'Amnistie! The amnesty is more in my heart than in your mouths. If you desire it, render yourselves worthy of it by your prudence and your patriotism.' These words," continues the person who witnessed the occurrence, " were received by a shout of Vise l'Empereur f and flowers were thrown to the PRINCE as he returned to his carriage." Conditions like those abovementioned may not unreasonably be required by the Chief of the French Republic as the necessary preliminary to acts of clemency towards the ordinary class of poli tical offenders—but nothing of the kind ,is requisite or even possible in reference to the peculiar act of generosity so frequently demanded at his hands in behalf of the heroic ABD-EL-KADER by the veteran Marquis of LONDONDERRY. An evidence of genero sity, of clemency, and of magnanimity it undoubtedly will be on the part of Prince Louis NAPOLEON, but it will be none the less also an act of simple justice. Supposing AND-EL-KADER to have been liberated, instead of by the pre sent Ruler of France, by one of the Princes of the House of Orleans, his release would have been only an act of justice and a token of repentance. Authorised by the Prince Louis NAPOLEON, the re lease of the EMIR will, as already intimated, be a complex act of justice, of generosity, of clemency, and of magnanimity. Never did a fairer or more enviable opportunity present itself to a great poten tate for winning " golden opinions" from, the ma jority of the population. That the PRINCE PRESIDENT is by no means willing to forego this opportunity appears to be indicated, and the indication will be welcome to the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, and still more to the Emir, ABD•EL-KADER, by the recent mission of M. BACCIOCHI to the SULTAN'S Court at Constantinople. PORTRAITS OF WELLINGTON AND SOULT , WITII MEMOIRS AND FAG-SLIMES OF THEIR HAND- WRITINGS.

ARD-BIL-KADER'S captivity appears to be at length actually approaching the period of its termination. Unless we are grievously mistaken in our newly re vived hopes in regerd to the release of the heroic pri goner of the Chateau d'Amboise, the Marquis of LON DONDERRY has not interceded in vain in behalf of the Esfia's emancipation. The conidence reposed in the clemency of the PRINCE PRESIDENT of the French Republic teems, in truth, in this particular, to have been not altogether misplaced. It will be remem bered that the promise spontaneously given to Lord LONDONDERRY by the Chief of the neighbouring de mocracy in reference to the pie posed act of mingled justice and magnanimity, declared that ADD-EL KADER, Should, before the expiration of 1852, be re lieved from the reieeries of incarceration. The pre scribed time is now rapidly approaching its conclusion and still the Arab Leeder is in close confinement. But —active preparations appear to be at last in progress for the fulfilment of the engagement made in favour of the unfortunate warrior by the good sense of Louis NAPOLEON—a good sense dictated at once by the feeling of generosity and by the sympathies arising from e kindred experience. During five or six years the nteece was a close prisoner in the fortress of Ham—and the indelible remembrance of that interval cannot but have awakened in his heart a sentiment of regret for the sufferings of the EMIR in the five or six years during which he has been a close prisoner in the Chatenu d'Amboise. Actuated by this very corn prehensibre sympathy for the miseries endured by the noble captive, the PRINCE PRESIDENT, we repeat, pledged his word to Lord LONDONDERRY that before another twelvemonth should have expired the Arab Chieftain should be once more at liberty. In yielding that encouraging assurance to the intercession on behalf of the EMIR, LOUIS NAPOLEON must have remembered—and no without emotion— that it was the same veteran soldier who, on the occasion of his own calamities, had pleaded in his favour to King Louts PHILIPPE, then invested with suprerae power as the bead of the French Government. Under these circumstances it was that the promise was given, as before-mentioned, by the Prince Louis NAPOLEON, to the effect that, before the close of 1852, ADD-EL•IiADER should be again enjoying freedom beyond the frontiers of the Republic. Scarcely a single quarter remains, now that October has comm2nced, during which that pro mise can witness the event of its fulfilment. Ample time, however, is still left for the completion of the engagement made with Lori LONDONDERRY by the PRESIDENT, so thnt within the prescribed limits the E&ua m ay exult in the long delayed and anxiously expected incident of his liberation. It is by this time tolerably well known in diploma tic circles, thrt M. BACCIOCIII proceeded very re cently upon an extnordinary mission to the Cabinet at Constantinople. Conjectures were, of course, at once rife as to the precise nature of this mission, and hopes Were very naturally excited in some quarters *at it might prove to have immediate reference to the projected release of the illustrious prisoner at Amboise. According to a statement which has re eently appeared in the Independence Beige, these hopes, in feet, may be regarded as by no means likely to prove altogether illueory.

If there is a surplus revenue, I want to apply it to other purposes—eto those general purposes from which the whole population will derive an advantage. I wish that the people of this country should have their tea as cheap as the people of the United States of America and of Australia. At present tea is sold at three hundred times more than its value; that is to say, that you pay 33. upon every one shilling's worth of tea to the public treasury. I want to reduce it in price, and instead of drinking, as a friend of mine termed it, stained or coloured water, I want the people to have good wholesome tea. I think the surplus revenue should be applied to reduce the tea and other duties on articles of consumption. There is nothing in the world so obnoxious as dirt. At present we have to pay 1,500,000/. for having our linen and our skins clean—that is the duty upon soap. That duty ought to be abolished. I will not give the surplus to the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER for the purpose of relieving the agricultural classes, because I deny that the agricultural classes have any peculiar burdens at all."—ln fact, the Le gislature, chiefly composed of landlords, have carefully provided the Agriculturists with numerous exemp tions from the burthens which therefore fall un equally upon other classes. We need only mention two instances out of many—fire insurance and the income-tax—in which the Agriculturists have been favoured by Class Legislation. Like other publicists, who have seen and felt in what manner the Whigs in office have failed to act up to the professions and promises they made when out of it, Mr. MACGREGOR is for giving the DERBY Ministry a fair trial. Of the late Ministry and their clique he says—" We have, on the other hand, great biddings for political capital from members of the late Government in the way of liberal principles ; and I shall be delighted to find that they are sincere in their democratic aspirations, but I shall never con sent to give them power, but I would like first to form a social contract with them, that will prevent them from forming a family clique or compact, which the moment they get into office would despise the actual wishes of the people, inasmuch as they have a hereditary tradition which leads them to entertain the idea that they alone have a divine right to breed the statesmen of the British empire. I want to show them that such a Government cannot now possibly exist in this country."—This is pungent, because it is true. The "snug family party" which recently were " a t h ome " i n Downing street are much deceived if they think that Office is to be theirs by hereditary right and mutual agree ment. We find Lord Jour; RUSSELL now bidding largely for office, at Perth and Stirling, by holding out great expectations of Liberal measures, if the country will only try him once more—but the coun try has a right to ask, how it happened that, in the six years which have passed since Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Cabinet was dissolved, these Liberal measures were not introduced ? What security can the Noble Lord give tbat, on return to office, he would not re sume the do-nothing policy ? If the Past is to be the prophet of the Future, there is no hope that the RUSSELL-GREY-ELLIOT clique will adopt the principles of Progress. Mr. MACGREGOR, who knows them well, emphatically declares that " such a Government cannot now possibly exist in this country." We have described Mr. MACGREGOR'S oratory as being plain, expressive, and free from tinsel orna ment. At times, however, this plain-speaking ma n produces effects such as the most eloquent might be proud of. Truth is the " great fact" of his speeches, and its expression sometimes rises into what, in effect, is highly poetical. His definition of Democracy is an example, and to our taste is preferable to the familiar simile of the ship " reposing on her own stately shadow," in CANNING'S celebrated speech. We sub join Mr. MACGREGOR'S words : " There is a wide difference between a democrat and a demagogue—a democrat is one of the people. Demo cracy is not well understood, because it is confounded with the word demagogue; but democracy properly un derstood is the most sound, most constitutional, and most healthy of all the denominations that, under Pro vidence, possibly dwells upon the earth. We borrow it from an old Greek word, ' Demos,' which means the people. I have always said I was a man of the people; that I was one of the demos,' and consequently I am a democrat. Now, when I hear people speaking against democracy I want to know what they that have opposed democracy, and who spurn us, the people, have done; and I put the question to myself, what has democracy done? Now, I wish to explain that word to you be cause a great deal of evil goes forth in reference to the word without explanation. Democracy means all those engaged in industrious pursuits, whether in science or labour, in tilling the ground, in • digging the ditches—whether as merchants, manufacture rs, or navigators—whether they are engaged in mechanical operations, or whether they are those ingenious men who have made the discoveries cf those powers which God has given to the intellect and hand of man, to exercise in great and good works, and I put the question to myself, what have they done? In the first place, democracy were the inventors of and dis covered everything connected with agriculture, manu factures, and navigation. Columbus discovered Ame rica, and Vasco di Game discovered the new route round the world. Who have constructed our ships and canals? It was the democracy. But I comp back to your own river Clyde, Who have deepened it and made it navigable up to the Broomielaw ? It was the democracy. Who opened up the mineral riches between the Forth and Clyde, and to bring forth your coal and iron. It was democracy, and I defy those who oppose you to say anything to the con trary. Who built the great steam-ships that bridge the Atlantic? The democracy. Who are constructing your iron ships on the banks of the Cl} de? It is the demo cracy. Who were they th a t i nven t e d p r i nt i ng , t h e steam-engine, the power-loom, cut the canals through the kingdom, construcied your docks, railways, built your cities, and brought your cotton, cloth, and iron manufactures to such perfection? It was the democracy. Who have made your fashionable attires in cotton, and silk, and wool? It has been the democracy. From what did we derive all the power of a nation, and enabled the Government to tax a people, and to exhibit the gran deur of princes and of kings? Was it nut from the labour of the democracy ?" We envy not the man who can read the foregoing (and particularly the practical illustrations with which it concludes) without having his soul stirred within him. It h eloquence of the highest order, and what makes it so is, the fact that every word of it is true SIR CHARLES AND SIR WM. STE WART. [We are anxious to direct the particular attention of our readers to the subjoined communication ad dressed to us by Lord Londonderry —as, in our lead ing article of the 2d instant, inadvertent mention was made of the gallantry of Sir W. Stewart, in seizing Colonel Lamotte in the cavalry skirmishes at the battle of Fuentes d'Onore, instead of particularizing the daring charge at the heights of Benevente, where, in the midst of the nzaie, General Lefebvre-Des nouettes, commander of Napoleon's Imperial Guard, was taken prisoner by Sir C. Stewart, now the Mar rink of Londonderry. Thi3 inadvertency, us must be obvious at a glance, originated in the circumstance of the Peninsular Wars being illustrated by the per sonal bravery of two distinguished officers of the same name —mentioned by Alison, and others, somewhat confusedly as " General Stewart," without the prefix of the Christian name, which would at once mark Sir William Stewart as the brother of Lord Galloway, and Sir Charles Stewart as the brother of Lord Cas tlereagh.—ED.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Government has received the following tele graphic dispatches : " Toulouse, Oct. 6, Three in the Afternoon. "Yesterday evening, at eight o'clock, the Prince went to the Capitol, and having appeared at the balcony was received by upwards of 50,600 spectators with cries of Viva l'Empereur!" Vivo Napoleon 111. !' At the theatre, which presented a fairy-like coup d'ccil, the en thusiasm was of an indescribable energy.

This morning, at seven o'clock, his High ❑ess quitted Toulouse. Notwithstanding that it rained heavily, the population was collected on his passage, and greeted him most warmly. Language fails to express the enthusiasm of his reception st Toulouse." " Agen, Half-past Five in the Evening. "The Prince is now entering the town, and is re ceived with the greatest enthusiasm by the population and the garrison. The acclamations are unaninaJtis, and the cry of Vive l'Empereur ! ' universal. His High ness is in perfect health." " Half-past Six in the Evening. " In spite of the rain, his Highness was received by en immense crowd, who cried ' Viva l'Empereur."lhe clergy, with the bishop at their head, received the Prince at the cathedral. His arrival at the Prefecture was the occasion of a new explosion of cries of Viva l'Em pereur!' and of an avalanche of bouquets and wreaths of flowers." " Oct. 7, Seven in the Morning. " The Prince gave a dinner of forty covers last evening at the Prefecture. The presentation of the authorities took place afterwards, and the ladies were received. Everywhere the presence of his Highness produced the most lively enthusiasm. The Fetes des Graviers was magnificent, and at night the town was brilliantly illu minated. The Prince has just taken his departure in the midst of the most enthusiastic acclamations. No where did sis Highness receive a more cordial reception, and he appeared much moved at its warmth. The state of the weather promises an easy passage." " Bordeaux, Oct. 7, Half-past Four Evening. " The Prince has just arrived at Bordeaux. Every where the people on the two banks of the river saluted him with enthusiastic manifestations and with cries of Vivo l'Empereurr The entry into Bordeaux ex ceeded anything that could have been imagined." " Seven in the Evening. " Bordeaux has surpassed all that we have hitherto seen, and I shall renounce the idea of describing the pomp and enthusiasm of the reception given to the Prince.

It is said that letters of a most com promising character have been discovered which bad been exchanged between the two parties whose arrest has been mentioned. One of these letters, written from Brioude some few days before the discovery of the Menial machine, states, from a coincidence which may bays serious consequences for the writer, that in a very short time "on allait en finir avec la bour geoisie," and it recommended the person to whom it was addressed at Puy to take courage and to be pa tient forfora few days. Two Montagnard ex-represen tatives, tie most violent in the department, had visited Brioude vithin the last month, where they had held meetings as secretly as possible, but not without their movements having been noticed by the police. It is generally thought that M. DE ST. FERREOL will be im plicated in the plot of Marseilles, and transferred to Aix to be tried with the others at the Court of Assizes. A decree of the PRINCE PRESIDENT, dated Carcas sonne, the 4th, opens an extraordinary credit of 500,000 f. to the Ministry of Public Works for the repair of the damages caused by the inundation of the Rhine. The Meniteur publishes an immense number of addresses from different Councils and other public bodies to tbs PRINCE PRESIDENT expressive of grati tude for th.) important services that he has rendered to society, and of their desire to see his power placed on a sure and durable foundation. In addition to these addresses several mere Councils of Arrondissement have passed resolutions in favour of the re-establish ment of the Empire. Nine Government engineers are,with its permission, at present employed in executing . p u blic works in foreign countries—namely, M. Potrel, employed in the works of the port of Leghorn ; 111. Lalanne, em ployed in laying out railways in Wallachi ; M. Lamarle, in Belgium ; M. Bequin, employed in form ing railways in Moldavia ; M. Mougel, employed in barring the Nile ; M. Michel, in the Roman States ; M. Faraguet, in Peru ; M. Fresnaux and M. Leferne, charged with improving the navigation of the Ebro, in Spain, and with irrigations in the provinces com prised between Saragossa and the sea. It may be remembered that on the 27th August last, the well-known somnambulist ALEXIS, and eight females of the same profession, named DESrONTAINES, VASSEUR, TALBERT, ROGER, OCTA VIE, JOUISSIN, VALERA JOUISSIN, and P IRENE , were cited before the Tribunal of Simple Police, on the charge of having deceived the public by the exercise of their art.

JULES FAVRE, on their behalf, argued at great length that somna m b u li sm is not fortune telling, or divining of dreams, which are pr o hibit e d under pain of fine and imprisonment by th e pena l code, but a regular science, which, though still en veloped in mystery,. has attr ac t e d t h e serious atten tion of, and believed in by, many very learned men . The Tribunal took time to consider its judg ment, and yesterday was fixed f or th e d e li very of it. It declared that even if the accused had, as they re presented, the power by means of a magnetic fluid of seeing with their eyes bandaged, of indicating the nature of maladies, of giving information respectiog absent persons, and of stating where stolen things are to be found, they did not the less violate the penal code, inasmuch as all such thi ngs const i tute what is called fortune - telling and divining. It accordingly condemned each of the defendants to five days' im prisonment, 15f. fine, and the costs. The Bourse was remarkably fi rm, w i t h a great deal of business doing.

Prince Louis Napoleon is really, for France and even for the whole of Europe, the incarnation of the Conservative principle, and he appears to be des tined by Providence to serve as the instrument to pre serve order in the world. The danger which he has in curred cannot but render him dearer to France; he is re presented to the French nation as the symbol of a sacred principle, the realization of which is connected with his person. The nation will unanimously decree him the Imperial crown, and will probably add to it heredi tary rights and the right of adoption, in order that, when he shall be no more, it may continue to enjoy the order and security which have been founded by him. As the infernal machine, formerly directed against his uncle, only tended to hasten his accession, so will the dangers which threatened the life of Louis Napoleon hasten his elevation to the Imperial dignity. There exists, however, a great diff,rence between these two events. Whilst the uncle had adopted the principle of conquest, or whilst, at least, he never hesitated to resort to arms, the nephew, since he has been called on to direct the destinies of France, has proved in the most incontestable manner, that he respected actual interna tional rights, and that he did not follow a political sys tem contrary to that of Europe. Thus, the accession of the uncle gave rise to apprehensions for the future, whilst that of the nephew opens the perspective of a long peace, and of the unalterable maintenance of the political system of Europe." The Austrian Lloyds of Vienna announces that all the Frenchmen residing in that city have been in formed that their passports will only b© considered good for a year, and that at the expiration of that period they must apply to the French Embassy for a new permission to remain. General VON HAYNAU has returned to Gratz ; he is having a handsome mausoleum erected in the churchyard of St. Leonard. THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION. ABERDEEN, THURSDAY EVENING. The Prince Albert has just arrived, bringing no accounts of Sir John Franklin. She wintered in Baffin's Bay, searched Prince Regent's Inlet, disco vered a channel on the west of North Somerset, traversed it with sledges, and round by Port Leo pold, but found no traces of the missing expedition. . . The Prince Albert got as far north as Beechy Head. On the 191 of August last she fell in with the North Star. The expeditions had passed up Wel lington Channel early in the season. The channel was open, and quite free from ice. The Prince Albert left the ice on the 233 of Au gust, and brings dispatches from the North Star. The officers and crew were all well. The Davis' Straits fishery wa3 a failure. Up to August only six fish had been taken between all the ships. The Regalia, of Kirkcaldy, had been lost ; also an American whaler. The following are fuller particulars of this expe dition The Prince Alb?rt left Aberdeen on the 224 of May last year, the search being under the direction of William Kennedy, Esq., who had long been connected with the Hudson Bay Company. The main object of the expedition was to get if possible on the track of Sir John Franklin, assuming that he had fol lowed out his instructions to seek a passage going south-west by Cape Walker. The Prince Albert made the ice on the 22d of June, and crossed to the west side in 72.30 north latitude; got to Ponds Bay on the 24th of August, and there saw four natives, but found that they had heard nothing of Sir John Franklin. They then proceeded up Lan caster Sound, where they encountered heavy gales of east wind, and by the time they reached Barrow Straits, on September 4, the ice had barred the pas sage. They then made for Port Leopold for shelter, and here Mr. Kennedy landed in a boat with six men, and was proceeding to make inquiries, when a barrier of ice got between the ship and the land, and the weather being still bad, with a strong current, the vessel was carried up Prince Regent's Inlet as far as Batty Bay, leaving Mr. Kennedy and his boat's crew on shore. Unable to return to Port Leopold, Captain Leask tried to reach Fury Point, but did not succeed, and getting into Batty Bay came to anchor there, where M. Bellot, the French gentleman who accompanied Mr. Ken- nedy, left the ship with four men for Port Leopold on the 17th of October. Here Mr. Kennedy and his men had remained in a state of great anxiety for six weeks, but getting at the provisions which were left by Sir John Ross they enjoyed excellent health. Returning with M. Blllot to Batty Bay the ship was housed for the winter, snd preparation s made for searching during the time she would be fast. They started with sledges on the 24th of February, with a party of 14 men, stopped a short time at Fury Point, then crossed Melville Bay, got as far west as Brentford Bay, and here discovered a channel, about two miles broad, leading westward, and opening up a bay by the northern coast of North Somerset. A fatigue party of six men pushed up this new channel, walking and sledging it, in 72 deg. north latitude and 100 deg. west longitude, while eight men returned to the ship from Brentford Bay. Mr. Kennedy and M. Ballot were of the advanced party, traversing the north coast of Somerset, round by Port Leopold, and arriving at the ship on the 30th of May. This was a most difficult and trying journey, the weather being thick and stormy. The di rect distance from the ship to this channel would be GOO miles; the distance traversed was fully 1,200 miles. But in all this search, which included also a search of Cape Walker, no new traces were found of Sir John Franklin. During the time that Mr. Ken nedy was out, Dr. Cowie, with a party of four men, crossed Cresswell Bay to the water on the west side of North Somerset, but was alike unsuccessful. Scurvy now unfortunately appeared among the men, and they had a sickly time of it from May to July, but a party getting down then to Port Leo pold, Mr. Kennedy was able to procure anti-scor butic medicines and food, and the crew then gradually got better. On the 6th of August last summer they got out of Batty Bay, and proceeded northward, intending to go to Griffith's Island. They reached Beechy Is land on the 19th of August, and falling in with the North Star, stationed with provisions for the use of the Franklin Expedition, and learning that the other vessels had passed up Wellington Channel, Mr. Kennedy deemed it useless to proceed further north and concluded to return home. At the time he left Beechy Island, Wellington Channel was open and free from ice as far as the telescope could command a view, and it is the opinion of Mr. Kennedy, as well as of the officers of the North Star, that from the remarkable openness of the season, the searching squadron would occupy a more ad vanced position than any of the previous expeditions could reach. Describing the state of this channel to Captain Penny, who is at present in Aberdeen, that gentleman expressed his firm conviction that if the steamers are pushed forward with energy they might get through at Behring's Straits. The crew of the Prince Albert are all in good health and spirits. Mr. Kennedy has brought dispatches for the Admiralty from the North Star, and proceeds with them to-morrow morning by first train for London. The expedition it will be remembered was fitted out entirely at the expense of Lady Frank lin, and, although it has not been successful in the main object of its search, the discovery of this new channel and the search of Prince Regent's Inlet and North Somerset will tend to concentrate efforts now entirely on Wellington Channel as the only hope of discovering Sir John Franklin. DAVIS'S STRAITS FISHERY. The accounts brought by the Prince Albert are of a very discouraging character. The Regalia, 'of Kirkcaldy, and the American ship M`Leland were wrecked ; crews saved. The True Love, of Hull, had three fish ; the Ann, of Hull, two. The ships did not get to the westward, and were fishing in Cumberland Straits. A heavy snow storm has fallen in the north of Scotland. On Thursday the mountains on Dee-side were covered with snow, and winter appeared to have set in thus early. DENMARK. On the night of the 3d the following bulletin was published : " A very severe cold has compelled his Majesty to keep his bed for the last week, and the state of the Royal patient is such that it is indispensable for him to keep it for some time longer. (Signed) " CHRISTIAN BORO, M.D." Major Tusca, who was at the head of the Schles wig-Holstein corps of Volunteers in 1849, has, after a long investigation, been deprived of the pension which he had formerly enjoyed. Last Sunday night and the following night a storm from the S.W. raged with tremendous fury. Such a hurricane has not been known in Copenhagen since 1827, the destruction of property caused by it is im mense. During the hurricane a fire broke out in the Winstrup Mill, which infless than an hour destroyed the mill and all the buildings near it. ITALY. The Opinione of Turin quotes a letter from Rome, mentioning a rumour that General GEMEAU was about to quit the French service, and enter that of the POPE as Commander-in-Chief of the Papal army. The reasons adduced in support of this rumour are, Ist, his well-known attachment to the POPE, and, 2dly, his advanced age. As generals of division are pensioned off at the age of 64, General GEMEAU, who is still strong and healthy, might, by changing mas ters, avoid that fate ; while the POPE would be glad to have such an experienced officer for his army. It is added, however, that Austria is opposed to such a course. The POPE held a secret Consistory, on the 27th, at the Palace of the Vatican. After his allocution his HOLINESS conferred on Cardinal Louts A MAT, Bishop of Palestrina, the offices of Vice-Chancellor of the Holy Roman Church, and of Sommiste of the Apos tolical letters, and assigned him the Commendam of S. Lorenzo-in-Domazo. The Osservatore Triestino recounts the following awful tragedy which occurred at Colomea, on the 23d ult., when, it bring the day of Expiation, and the Jewish community being assembled in the Syna gogue, a sudden cry of " fire" was beard, and caused a universal rush to the doors, particularly in the upper gallery, reserved for the ladies, where the fire was said to have broken out. Here the crowd was so dense, that thirty• three ladies, a boy of eight years old, and two little girls, of from three to four years of age, were suffocated. Physicians, functionaries, and gendarmes, were soon on the spot, but too late to give effectual succour. The cry of fire turned out to be a false alarm. The King of the Two SICILIES, by a recent de cree, removes the prohibition to import foreign horses into the kingdom, and allows all such horses to be imported, with the exception of a peculiar sort from Dalmatia. The decree fixes the duties which are to be paid on importation. The Opinione of Turin of the sth gives the fol lowing from Asti :—A house in the quarter of San Giuseppe, at present inhabited by a few veteran officers and a vivandiere, had an open communication with the adjoining convent of Theresians. A few days ago,l at a very early hour, one of the officers saw two friars retire into the convent through the said communication ; and the direction whence they came forcibly reminded the observer of the fact that the fair vivandiere had her apartment exactly on that side. The matter being reported to the Colonel of the corps, the latter ordered the communication to be walled up. But while the masons were at work, a whole bevy of friars came swarming about them, and expcstuEsted so strongly with them on what they were about, that the workmen desisted and went away, whereupon the friars pulled down what they had been building. The Colonel, however, watched his time, and got the door walled up while the friars were out walking, and thus put an end to all discussion. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(THIS DAY.)

YACHT MATCH.—A sailing match comes off this (day (Saturday) at Portsmouth, between the celebrated America and a new yacht built in Sweden, named the ;Sverige. The latter vessel is of abeautiful build, very much resembling the America, but possessing more power. Th e last few days she has been on White's slip at Port smouth, having a new keel put on, and her bottom cleaned. The match, which excites the greatest interest at Ports mouth, is for 400/. The challenge was offered by the Swede. TAXES ON KNOWLEDGE.—.OO Tuesday afternoon a meeting was held in the Court-house, Leeds, to form a society for the repeal of the taxes on knowledge A letter g - was read from Mr. Baines, expressin his . adhesion to the movement, and a committee was formed, w ith power to add to their number. On Tuesday ev en i ng a public meeting was held at the MechanicV Institution, Wakefield, to hear a lec ture on the taxes on knowledge. After the lecture a committee was appointed to conduct the agitation of the question. SPAIN. The Madrid Gazette of the 3d contains a royal decree, which enacts that " the holders of the new deferred debt, who may solicit it, shall be allowed to convert their vouchers, at the rate fixed by the Govern ment, into other vouchers of the Consolidated Three per Cent. Stock • that every six months the Council of Ministers shall fix the price at which during the six months the conversion may be effected, and the sum to which it may amount ; that every month the demands of the holders shall be submitted to the Junta on the debt, and that the Junta shall point out to the Government thoso which present most ad vantage, shall declare if the amount fixed by the Go vernment be exceeded by the total demands or not, &c.; and that in foreign places the propositions for the conversion shall be made in sealed letters addressed to the Financial Spanish Commissions at London or at Paris, or to the Spanish Vice-Consul at Amsterdam." The decree also regulates sundry formalities respect ing the said conversion. The 3d being Sunday the Stock Exchange was not open. GERMANY. The journey of the King of HANOVER to Munich and Stutgardt has produced a good deal of excitement, as it is attributed to the Customs question. It is thought that there is much disagreement on that question between the respective Sovereigns and their Ministers. The Elector of HESSE has also gone to Munich. The C ologne Gazette says that all the conferences on unwilling the is heCustems a ff a i r are suspen d e d , an d that Han over tocontinue od i spos e d t o the withdraw, negotiationsa n and b i is thought be diplomatic paths. The Diet of Brandenburgh was closed on the 4th by the Royal Commissionkr. The New Gazette of Prussia was seized on the 4th, but the impression was restored to it on the fol lowing day. The topic of the day in Dresden is the resignation of M. DE FRIESEN, the Minister of the Interior, which his MAJESTY accepted. The Finance Minister, M. BEKErt, also wished to retire, but the KING would not permit it. The Augsburg Gazette contradicts a report that Count ADAM POTOKI had been set at liberty. He has, however, been allowed by the Government to proceed to Trieste for the benefit of sea-bathing. The proceedings commenced against him are not yet ter-. minated. A letter from Vienna, in the Journal de Frankfort, says : " The news of the discovery at Marseilles of an in fernal machine, intended to be directed against the Prince President, hes caused an extraordinary sensation hcre.

THE PLANET OF AUGUST 22, 1851.—Mr. Hind, the discoverer of this planet, has given it the name of Fortuna. THE INCOME TAX. To THE EDlTillt OF THE TIMFS. Sir,—One of your correspindents, '' R. yet! correctly atserteci some time back that the'' actuaries and the " economists" are at i!•!stio on fundamentA l principles ; this is perfectly true, but it ruu , t also be remembered, that while on the one hand all the ac' tuaries agree amongst themselves as to principles (differing, as might be expected, only in details), 00 the other hand the economists severally propound schemes which are wholly at variance and antagonistiC to each otht.r. One of these schemes may be considered as alrescli disposed of; in your leading article of to-day r° have most ably discussed this much-vexed qu es tion, and have, it is to be both hoped and believed, for ever set at rest Mr. Babbage's absurd proposition to to% equally the received incomes of each year, withal reference either to their source or to their duration. , Another fallacy, h owever, st i ll more subtle a nd obscure, remains yet to b?, disposed of. I allude t° that propounded by Mr. Warburton in his evidence before the committee ; and as Mr. Warburton's re' putation stands high as a first class University mar, and as he, moreover, carries with him all the weight of an ex-M.P., I will venture, with your permission) very briefly to recapitulate his views and to ex pose their utter absurdity. It is quite true that Mr. WO' burton has been already replied to by some o f t he actuaries who were examined, but as their letter t° Mr. Hume was necessarily very technical, I imagin e that your non-mathematical readers will be better pleased to have the subject discussed in some lef t learned form. Mr. Warburton's reasoning, stripped of all I" technicalities, would see m t o amount to t hi s— if the income-tax be intended as a temporary impost merelP the present mode of levying it is unsound and unjust; but if it be placed as a permanent burden on the country, it is in such case both fair and just to tax re; an equal rate a t e mp orary and a perpetual income! and, be would seem to argue, for this reason, --b e proprietor of a perpetu a l i ncome w i ll pay a perpetual tax, while the proprietor o f a temporary income Ti ll! pay only a temporary tax, and thus they will both contribute equally to th e necess i t i es of the countr y! This is plausible enough ; and will, I doubt no t ' pass current with many people, but it is u nfor tunately also u n tr ue . Th e con f us i on in the minds °I, Mr. Warburton and his followers would seem t ° have arisen from the use, or rather, I s h ou ld S O from the abuse, o f th e word " income." It may b ° received as an axiom, that real income is a profit pro' duced by, and not out of, capital ; apparent incoul e ' on the other band, is partly made up of real 0 1 come, and partly made up of capital, each paymen i contains within itself a payment of interest or re li income, and a repayment o f a p or ti on o f t h e ca pitst which produces it. It is obvious that land will pr ci i duce rent for ever, without diminishing the value the estate ; therefore such rent is real income. Monet in the funds w ill p ro d uc e i n t eres t f or ever w i t hout diminishing or exhausting the capital which produc e . it; ; therefore interest is real i ncome . B ut a temll; rary profit, whether it take the shape of an anntly t certain for a term of years or of any oth e r f orm , i s o' 4 real income, as each payment is made up partly of re : e income and partly of a return of capital, so that t e , real capital, which at the outset o f t h e t erm r ePr , sented the value of the app aren t income, gr.', dually disappears year by year from the original 0 0 Vestment, and, as it were, as gradually re-appea l year by year in some other and new investrne°,' Now, when Mr, Warburton compares a perpetual I rj . t come with one, say , f or ten years only, he argues tlu: because the temporary profit is only taxed ten tax while the perpetual profit is taxed a perpetuity of ta%e you are treating their proprietors with evenhand e l , justice ; he f o r ge t s , h owever, that you are not 0% taxing the ten t em p orary real i nccomes, but th'd you are, at the same t i me, tax i ng the capital duringo the process of its reproduction, which capital is t d , be again taxed in perpetuity when reproduce, If, indeed, this unfortunate capital (which II; been thus taxed in full, while its more fortuo s , l ,, brother, which took a perpetual form, has been wh°, l l l ,. untouched) could be rendered for the future wbc . ,,, exempt from taxation, there would then be ecr i j justice in the reasoning Mr. Warburton has P o down ; but as, in truth, this forms no portion of ,1 1 , scheme, and would be impracticable if it did, reasoning which seemed so impregnable, and on Wh l e j ° so much stress has been laid, and which so g l a dden s the hearts of the opponents to an adju s t e d i ncom e't° must, I fear, be pronounced unsound. I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient serv ant' , ONE OF THE ACTUARIES ExAMINEP' London, Oct. 6. THE ARMY. GENERAL ORDER. Horse Guards, Oct. S',6 !
