Well, the representatives of the people have divided_ a v on the first p o i n t su b m i t t e d to the i r decis i on. majority o f 175 th ey h ave negat i ved the amendment of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman the Member for Cockermouth, who submitted, " that if the income tax be continued, it is expedient to amend the Act, and not to impose the same charge on incomes derived from profesaionoi and precarious sources, as on those derivedfrom real property. " This proposition would at least appear to be based on justice and equity: It said nothing as to the proportions in which the tax should be levied on the different classes ; it only as k e d that a distinction sho u ld b e made, that some portion should be remitted of that which EXCEIEQU the C naxcELLcut of the ER at its first introduction,• a n d - unburdened with official cares, de c l ared to `' be whenunjust and iaquisiterial," And therefore then resisted, in his , capacity as an individual Member of the House, with all his power. " A change, however, has come o'er the spirit of his dream." He is now very differently I circumstanced; the duty has devolved upon him of providing the ways and means for the payment of the interest of our enormous debt, and for the national expenditure on our naval, military, and civil estab lishments. He has, therefore, in his new position. adopted the argument of the Roman Emperor, "room olet nummus" —provided he procures the neces sary amount, he is little solicitous as to the manner in which it may be obtained, or the propriety or justice thereof. A stronger illus tration could not be afforded of the dying miser's last injunctions to his hopeful heir. " My son get money—honestly if you can, but at all events get money." What matters it that it is unjust— that it is inquisitorial—that it falls most heavily upon those who are the least able to resist the demand, Who possess no Parliamentary influence, who cannot command a majority in the popular branch of the Legislature. They can only claim exemption upon grounds founded upon the equity of their cause ; but, alas ! their very weakness invites aggression—their arguments are only those of the lamb, and the old fable tells us how trifling was the effect thereby produced upon the wolfish assailant. The people d o no t re f use t o b e taxed—they are willing to charge themselves with the sums re quired for the maintenance of the national honour and the national credit ; they only demand that the amount may be fairly collected, and that each person should be called upon to contribute to the burden in proportion to his means—to the stake he has in the country—to the real value of the interests for which he requires protection. The State secures him in the enjoyment of his personal liberty and property so long as he observes the laws enacted for the general government ; and, in return, it demands that he shall bear his share of the general expenditure. The contribution for the protection of his property must, manifestly, be in proportion to the real amount, to the selling value, thereof. It can, however, scarcely be argued—although liberty is equally dear to the peasant as to the peer—that the humble labourer, who earns a scanty and precarious subsistence by the most arduous and un remitting toil, should pay as largely for protection as the lordly inheritor of wide-spread domains, or the possessor of funded millions. The true criterion, therefore, for fiscal purposes, is that the value to a man of his personal liberty is in proportion to his means of enjoyment, to the amount of property which he pos sesses, and therefore in that respect, also, a property tax would be the most equitable and fairest that could be levied. Our representatives cannot conceive that any dis tinction should be made on account_of the sources from whence income is derived, so far as taxa tion is concerned, but do they not make very great distinctions in every other respect ? Are the same privileges conceded to the industrious lawyer, the skilful physician, the enterprising mer• chant, the upright manufacturer, as to the possessor of accumulated and realised property ? No ; far from it. Does he aspire to represent a constituency by whom he may be respected, and looked up to, in the Imperial Parliament ? A property qualification is required. lie must possess a fixed and certain in come of either 6001. or 3001. per annum before he can be permitted to take his seat for either a county or a borough. It is true he possesses a cultivated mind and intellect, from the employment of which he earns a large income, which the tax collector regards as a full equivalent for a rent roll, or dividend upon stock of equal amount, and he demands that with such a qualification he may be permitted to watch over the interests of those who have selected him . But the Committee laugh his pretensions to scorn. He is reported to want the necessary qualification— the election is declared null and void, and the dis appointed constituency may choose some stupid and uneducated dolt, provided he possesses the proper amount in the rental of broad acres, or the dividend of stock. Here it must be admitted there is some difference—a difference which may, in some degree, account for the otherwise inexplicable vote of last night. Perhaps his ambition may not soar so high. He does not himself aspire to a place in the Legislature, but he feels that he is at least entitled to a vote in the selection of the Members for the district in which he resides. He is aware of the constitutional prin ciple, that there should he no taxation without re presentation ; the collector who has just departed from his door, bearing away, perhaps, his last shilling, has proved, beyond the possibility of doubt, that he is considered a subject for taxation ; but the revising barrister will tell him that such an income does not entitle him to be entered on the register as an elector —that he must possess some other qualification before his claim can be admitted !! I We might multiply similar instances ; but what avails it ? Our chosen representatives have decided against us, and it is only by the pressure from without, by the instant and unceasing exertions of the middle clußses themselves, that the anomaly can be remedied. N'Ve call upon the nation to be up and doing. If the present opportunity shall elapse—if the vote is passed in its present form, they may consider themselves permanently saddled with the intolerable and iniquitous impost. Among the many affecting and romantic incidents which h_ive illustrated the progress of the recent revolution hi Paris, one of the most beautiful was assuredly the demonstration of the love and reverence entertained by the new-horn Republic for the me mory of ARMAND CARREL! Ainid,t the tumults of this glorious and memorable movement the genius and the valour of ARMAND CARREL have not been forgotten —his noble services in the cause of freedom have been acknowledged by the spontaneous enthu siasm of his countrymen. Yes : after the lapse of twelve years, since that melancholy day, in 1836, when the young journalist was shot dead in a duel with EMILE GIRARDIN—after the lapse of twelve years since that lamentable catastrophe, the Pa risians have re-conquered their liberties, without crime, or bloodshed, or spoliation, they have re-conquered their liberties, and now, in the very moment of their victory, they have hurried to the little churchyard of St. Maur to pay a solemn and tcuching tribute to the dust of their champion. As the gifted son of Lord STAANGFORD has sung so eloquently— " We weep not, we mourn not, Armand Carrel, Though we knew, though we loved, though we prised him well, For he died in his youth, as the brave should die, And his soul still burning with chivalry l" It was with feelings of this character—with feelings of mingled sorrow and admiration—that many of the inhabitants of the French capital proceeded to the tomb of citizen CARREL (the late editor of the National), on Thursday, the 2d inst., for the purpose of testifying their homage to patriotism and misfortune. Among those who participated in this half-mournful and half-exultant ceremony was one of the most distinguished Members of the Provisional Government, a namesake of the deceased author, and his successor in the editorship of the National; we mean, of course, ARMAND MARRAST. But the individual who, of all others, attracted the most observation in the heart of that vast concourse of Republicans was EMILE GIRARDIN, the editor of La Presse, the man who, but for his prolonged and genuine lamentation for the demise of his illustrious antagonist, might have been called with perfect accu racy th e assassin of CARREL; for it was the pistol bullet o f EMILE GIRARDIN that in 1836 felled ARMAND CA RREL. Bearing this in recollection, it is scarcely s urpr i s i ng that the spectators were at first disposed to receive with disdain, and some of them even with abhorrence, the man who had alone occasioned their cala mity. Immediately, however, that the repentant duellist had spoken over the ashes of his rival the distrust of the multitude was changed to approbation. The words spoken by citizen GIRARDIN were these : " Citizens," said he, " in coming here to take part in this grave and mournful solemnity, none of you will mistake the sentiment which induces me to be present. I responds to a noble appeal that was ad dressed tome. " Such an ap peal could not but do. _me_ honour, since it assuredly was not to treat my heart a s a vulgar one. It was to tell me that no one doubted either of the t incerity or of the duratiori of the ,;AL4 litlE SUN', LONDON, SATURDAY mourning which, in another circumstance, I had not hesitated to render public. _ _ " If the regret which I experience for the fatal and premature loss of the eminent citizen who had given to his republican belief the double éclat of a rare talent and of a tried courage, if this regret could have been increased, it would have just taken place. "To say that the citize❑ ARMAND CARREL iS wanting to these events, is to render to his memory the homage most worthy of it. " But I am wrong—there is an homage still more worthy, and which we can render to it, namely, to demand from the Provisional Government, which has just covered itself with glory in abolishing the punishment of death, to complete its work by also proscribing duels." 'We have transcribed the address uttered by the editor of La Presse, not so much as a compliment to a brother journalist under very unusual circum stances, as because we recognise in it the expiation of a crime that is one of the most dismal in the annals of a struggling people, and because, above all, the peroration of that simple address was the declaration of an august and holy principle. Citizen GIRARDIN calls upon the Provisional Government—upon that Government which has just covered itself with glory in abolishing the punishment of death—citizen GIRARDIN, we say, calls upon that Government to complete its humane innovations by the proscription of duelling. EMILE GIRARDIN does this—a man notorious as a duellist. He, with his hands still blackened by the explosion of gunpowder, with his finger still seamed by the pressure of the trigger—in the churchyard of St. Maur—over the grave of that young and noble heart which twelve years before he had stilled for ever—at the foot of the pedestal of the majestic statue of ARMAND CARREL—he, the veteran duellist of the Buis de Boulogne, demanded of the newly-inaugurated Republic of France the proscription of duelling. After an appeal so forcible —so eloquent at once in place, in person, and in occasion—we cannot but think that that devillish system will be prohibited which might correctly be designated a system of fashionable assassination. Thanks to the odium which has been latterly showered upon duellists, this evil habit has been gradually abating in frequency. But as yet all that is requisite in its regard has not been accomplished. It is essential that the Legislature of some great coun try should formally brand the crime with its stigma, and what Legislature could more appropriately pro nounce its decision upon this point, with more honour to itself and more influence in its example, than that which has just emerged, like the Apotheosis of Liberty, from the storm of a tremendous but unbloody revolution ? It will be well that at such an epoch the proximate cause of a social advancement of this memorable description should arise, as it were, from the death dust of ARMAND CARREL—of that young and unsullied Republican who has been well named the Chevalier of the People ! In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies of Bel gium on Thursday, the Minister of Foreign Affairs stated that Belgium had received no official commu nication from the Provisional Government of France, but that the Prince DE LIGNE had forwarded a letter addressed to M. DE LAMARTINE to him in common with the other Ambassadors at Paris, and announcing that he acted as Minister of Foreign Affairs. Ile then read a letter (a copy of which has, no doubt, been forwarded from Paris), and stated that the Belgian Government had directed the Prince DE LIGNE to declare to M. DE LAMARTINE the satisfac tion with which Belgium had received intelligence of the views that animated France towards those Powers, which, in common with herself, desired the independence of nations and the peace of the world —sentiments which accorded so well with those of Belgium. The military preparations, he said, were simply measures of precaution, taken to strengthen all the fortresses on the different frontiers ; and he concluded by asserting that the sole end the Belgian Government had in view was to maintain the national independence, to preserve the territory and political neutrality inviolate, and to keep intact those liberal institutions which Belgium had so gloriously obtained. The KING is very popular, and the great majority of the people are in favour of a monarchical form of government. Accounts from Malta of the 25th ult. bring further intelligence from Naples and Sicily. At Naples and Palermo all was quiet on the 20th, but hostilities commenced at Messina on the 223, at seven A.M. Nothing could equal the heroic courage of the people. They were well provided with all the ne cessary materiel of war. Their guns were heavy, well-directed, and well manned ; and although the Neapolitans fired well, the overwhelming force of the people rendered their exertions useless. Many of the former weie killed ; of the latter the loss was not so great. At eight o'clock Fort Reale fell by assault. At ten the Arsenal was taken, and au hour after Terra Nova. All the outworks of the other forts, except that of San Salvadore, were taken. The tricolour flag had been hoisted at Constance. MEnntET ALI arrived at Malta on the ISith. He had been suffering from dysentery, and had been recommended change of air by his medical advisers. The King of PRUSSIA, on hearing of the events which had occurred in Paris assembled his Council. After several consultations it was determined to energetically oppose every attempt at an ag►gression from France, as also every attempt at disturbing the peace of Europe. Orders were issued the same day to four regiments to advance by forced marches to tha Rhenish fron tier, and two cavalry regiments were ordered from Pomerania. The greatest anxiety prevailed as to the future steps of the French Republic. Business was almost at a stand-still. The fall in every species of public security was most heavy, and offers were rejected below quota tions. Bank Shares fell to 101 ; Cologne-Minden Railway Shares to 87, and these were only nominal price. Staats. Sch. Sch. Three•and-a•Half per Cents., 98i. FRANKFORT, FEB. 2J.—To•day, as yesterday, no business was done. VIENNA, FELL 26.—Five per Cents., 971 ; Four per Cents., 82; Bank Shares, 1,500. The Council of State of Vaud met at Lausanne on the 27th ult., and adopted the following resolu tion : " The Council of State having learned that subse quently to the important events which took place at Paris, the people of the capital of France, not satisfied with the abdication of King Louis Philippe 1., pro claimed the Republic and appointed a Provisional Go vernment; considering that that event must be attended with the most beneficial results for Switzerland, the maintenance and development of her democratic institu tions; considering that the French people has always sympathised with all nations, and particularly with the Swiss people; and whereas the citisens of Vaud must be anxious to make a public manifestation in favour of the French people, in which the Council of State will must heartily concur; decrees that a salute of 101 guns shall be fired to-day at Lausanne. To that effect the In spector-General of the Militia will send to the arsenal of Murges fur two 12-pounders, with the ammunition necessary, and call out the cannoneers of the section of Lausanne, who will commence firing at five o'clock P.M." This decision was officially communicated to the French Provisional Government. The Madrid journals of the 2Gth ult. bring no news. The Three per Cents. were done at 28i, at 50 days; the Four per Cents. at 16 for cash; and the Five per Cents. at 171. TO FRANCE.

HENRY LESTAR HARRISON. ARRIVAL AT COSSIER Or LORD HARDINGE.— The Overland Mail, just arrived, announces the arrival at Cossier, on the 14th of February, of the Right Hon.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Provisional Government of France have just issued the followed ordonnances " THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. " LIBERTY, EQUALITY, FRATERNITY. " The Provisional Government of the Republic, consi dering that, during the last fifty years every new Go vernment that constituted itself, required and received oaths, which were successively replaced by others at every political change ; " Considering that the first duty of every republican is to be devoted without any reservation to the country, and that every citiien, who, under the Government of the Republic, accepts functions or continued in the ex ercise of those he occupied, contracts in a still more special manner the sacred obligations of serving it and devoting himself to its security, decrees : " Public functionaries of the administrative and ju diciary order shall not take any oath. "Paris, Ist March, 1848. (Signed) " The Members of the Provisional Govern ment:—Dupont de l'Eure, Lamartine, Arago, Cremieux, Ledru Rollin, Gamier Pages, Marrast, Marie, Louis Blanc, Flocon, Albert." THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. " LIBERTY, EQUALITY, FRATERNITY. " PROCLAMATION. " Citizens,—The Committee, appointed by the Go ♦ernment to inquire into the gipievances of the labouring classes, entered on its functions this day. On the benches, lately occupied by privileged legislators, the Peers of France, the people seated itself in turn, by way of taking material possession of its right, and marking the place of its sovereignty. " Labourers, your comrades discussed before us the interests which are dear to you, with the calmness and dignity becoming free men. We have heard their wishes, and in order that they may be speedily realised, we have agreed that each profession should choose a delegate to attend the Government Committee. " Until the Government. Committee be completed by the choice of the delegates of the different professions, we will proceed to settle the questions relative to the hours of labour and the abolition of job work. " Now, citizen?, hasten to resume your labours. Bear in mind that every hour's delay is a treasure lost to the country. You are one of the bases, and the object of the special solicitude, of the Provisional Government of the Republic. It loves you : confide in it, and rest assured that it desires you happiness as impatiently as you do yourselves. " The people has gained by its courage an ever memorable victory, and will immortalise its triumph by its wisdom. (Signed) " The Members of the Provisional Government." The Democratic Committee of Paris waited, on Wed nesday, on the members of the Provisional Government to assure them of its co-operation, and present to it some observations relative to the choice of certain public func tionaries. Messrs. Arago, G Ander Pages, and Armand Marrast replied to the committee that thet• had already revoked a number of appointments which had been made in the hurry of their first installation. They thanked the committee, and invited it to watch with a severe eye over the rights of the citizens, adding that they were happy to be able to rely on its co-operation. M. Cssfunieux, Minister of Justice, returned the fol lowing reply to the address, presented to him by M Cormenia, in the name of the Council of State:— " Citizens of the Council of State, the Provisional Go vernment receives and accepts the assurance of your co operation and the expression of your devotedness to the Republic. In this great and noble country unity constitutes force, and centralisation imparts to all the branches of the administration a vigour of which the results are immense. The Council of State, a su perior and central power, possessed at its origin exten sive and constitutional prerogatives. Its political power has been of late curtailed, and its administrative mission considerably augmented. The Council of State may no doubt become, under the constitution, which the National Assembly shall shortly vote, an important leranch of our Republican Government, particu larly if, as we hope and desire, the National Assem bly decrees he establishment of a single chamber, the expression of the suffrage of all citizens, to represent the nation. This time, at least, it shall not be a mutilated representation, chosen by a nearly imper ceptible number of privileged men, who, for the most part, shared among themselves all the advantages of what it had been agreed to call the Representative Go vernment. It will be, gentlemen, the Government of the people by the people, or, what is the same thing, by those the people shall have elected itself, in the full enjoyment of its right of sovereignty." "Citizens, you are no doubt actuated by a frank and loyal desire to serve the Republic.—( Yes, yes.) Royalty, so often dethroned during the last halt' century, has finally succumbed, less from the effects of the anger than the contempt of the people. Corruption has killed it more than bad faith. Yes, it is from the upper regions of society, the leprosy with which they wished to cover France—a country so noble, so loyal, and so pure—emanated. (The Minister was here interrupted by loud ac clamation.) They attsmpted to revile us in the eyes of the world, we, the chivalrous people, the sons of that land of honour and of every exalted sentiment. Con tempt arose, the people assumed an imposing attitude and royalty vanished fur ever from the soil it had pol luted. Nobody is better aware than you, gentlemen, who closely approached the regions of power, of the dis regard t ntertained for the people in those royal residences. Who cared for its interests, its sufferings, its misery, heightened by so many ♦.rtues P— (New acclamations.) There is accordingly an end to Royalty, for we can see no form under a hich it would be re established. They all had their day. Is it the old French Royalty we could regret? The last King of the third race was swept away by the tempest, raised by iniquities, heaped up during ages, and under so many reigns, Is it the Royalty of glory? It could not guard itself against despotism. Is it restored Royalty? Yon may remember it gentleman, labouring to revive the past with an extraordi nary assurance, which a breath of the people dispelled. We next had a Royalty, the offspring of a revolution, which the too confiding nation accepted. What a trial was reserved to us fur the last I Citizens, all Royalties are at an end in our land of freedom. The Republic remains to us. The people have reconquered it, end we, it. first elected representatives, have proclaimed it. The Republic, that is the country, France, all citizens, the nation, the p• ogle, for the Republic is the universality of the eclars, un►ted for the triumph ut the coun try. Citizens, let us all cherish that Republic, whose name resounds so gratefully —so sweetly in our ears ; let us cherish it with the same ardour, for there can be no shades in our love of the Republic. In a monarchy shades may exist. One loves a king more or less, or not at all, or conditionally, for a king does not represent the country. But how can any citizen love the Republic, that is the country, more or less than the other? We must sacrifice to it our fortunes and uur lives; it possesses the same rights over all, and the hap• piness of devoting oneself for her cause constitutes the first virtue of the citisyn—patriotism." This speech was received with cries of " rice la Republique." The Monileur publishes a decree, extending to the department of the Seine and Seine-Inferieure the de cree published for Paris, relative to the delay granted for the payment of bills falling due between the 22d February and lath March. Yesterday the banking houses of Paris resumed discounting operations, and all, in imitation of the Bank of France, paid the bills presented to them. A most affecting scene, which we trust will occa sion the early passing of a law to put down duelling, took place at the tomb of M. ARMAND CARREL. The friends of M. ARMAND CARREL repaired on Thursday to the Cemetery of St. Maude, where his remains are interred, to render an homage to his memory. The National Guards and schools were represented at the ceremony by deputations, and M. ARMAND MARRAST, a member of the Provi sional Government, attended in its name. After a speech from the Mayor of St. Maude, M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN, by whose hands M. CARREL had fallen, stepped forward and deplored in affecting terms the fatality which had deprived the country of the services of a citiaen, whose loss was never so cruelly felt as at the present moment. " There is, however," added he,' " homage still more flattering due to his memory, that is, to invite the Government, which has acquired so much glory by abolishing capital punishment, to com plete its work by proscribing duelling." When he had concluded, M. DE GIRARDIN was embraced with affection by all the persons who surrounded him. M. ARMAND MARRAST, in his turn, delivered a short ora tion over the tomb of M. CARREL, and cordially shook M. DE GIRARDIN by the hand. The procession then left the cemetery and returned into town. The intelligence of the proclamation of the Re public in France had produced the deepest sensation at Berne, and many refused to believe it. In the evening of the 27th, the Vorort was to hold an extraordinary meeting to consider the expediency of the immediate recognition of the French Republic. It was also believed that the Diet would be convoked, and that the Government would propose to it to place the frontiers, bordering on the Austrian and German States, in a condition to repel all invasion on that side. Letters from Naples of the 23d ult., state that Lord MINTo and the French Ambassador would sail on that day for Palermo, to endeavour to adjust the dif ference between Sicily and Naples. The funeral of the citizsns who died for their country in the three days of February is fixed to take place this day. It was to be solemnly celebrated in the Church of the Madeleine, whilst other funeral services were to be performed at the same time in all the other churches in Paris. The bodies, 170 in 'number, were to be deposited in the vaults of the column of July, next to the remains of the cam. batants of July, IS3O. Ths procession is to be EVENING, MARCH_ opened by a squadron of cavalry of the National Guard, a squadron of Dragoons, another of Cuiras siers, and a company of artillery of the army. 11l the members of the Provisional Government, the members of the municipalities, the families of the victims, deputations of every corporation of workmen, and a company of every battalion of the National Guard, were to form the cortege. The entente cordiale between France and England —we mean the real and true entente cordiale which should always subsist between neighbouring free nations—not the miserable family compact which the late French Government called by the name, and to the maintenance of which the honour and dignity of both nations were frequently sacrified—the entente cordiale between France and England has been com pletely re. established. The National, one of the organs of the Republic, says,— "' Lord Normanby 'officieusemene communicated this morning to M. de Lamartine, Minister of Foreign Affairs, the dispatches he had received from Lord Pal merston, relative to the disposition of the British Government towards the new Provisional Government of France. Lord Palmerston announced to Lord Nor manby that England did not hesitate an instant to acknowledge the right of the French nation to change the form of its government. He then added, that if diplomatic usage does not authorise the English Go. vernment to accredit definitive diplomatic agents to the Provisional Government, the moment the Provisional Government shall have been converted into a definitive Government by the National Assembly, the English Government will accredit its Ambassador to the French Republic. In the mean time Lord Palmerston authorises Lord Normanby to maintain with the Provisional Government of the Republic not only the usual inter course, but all the relations of good understanding and amity which ought to animate the two Governments." The Marquis of NORMANDY has secured to himself the confidence and respect of the whole of the people of France by the courage and prudence which he displayed during the whole course of the revolution. " I shall be the last Englishman to quit Paris," said the Noble Marquis to his countrymen who were crowding to the embassy for passports and advice; " I pledge myself that I will not stir from Paris, and I am sure that the event will prove that your alarm, however natural, will have proved superfluous." It was reported in Paris that Baden was in full in surrection, and that the tri-coloured flag had been hoisted at Mayence and Darmstadt.

ARRIVAL OF THE EX-KING OF THE FRENCH AT CROYDON.-(THISADAY.) IMPORTANT DECLARATION OF LOUIS PIIILIPPE. At a quarter after twelve o'clock this forenoon Louis Philippe and his Queen arrived at the Croydon station of the Brighton Railway, by a special train from Newhaven. The illustrious exiles were accompanied by a party of the Brighton Railway Company directors, and were received with considerable approbation by crowds of respectable persons at the various stations along the line. Her Majesty's Lord in Waiting, with a number of distinguished foreigners, received Louis Philippe and the Queen, on alighting from the train at Croy don, who immediately took their departure in the royal carriage for Claremont. Last evening, at the Bridgehouse Hotel at New haven, the ex-King granted an audience to several inhabitants from Brighton. They were received most cordially. Louis. Philippe, clasping his hands as if overpowered by his emotions, began immediately to speak on the subject of the revolution : " Charles X. (exclaimed the ex-King, was destroyed for breaking the Charter, and I have been overthrown for defending it, and for keeping my oath. I wish this ip be distinctly understood, an 1 1 hope it will be made known." ARRIVAL OF M. GUIZOT. M. GUIZOT landed yesterday morning at Folke stone from Ostend. He states that he believes the Duchess of ORLEANS and her children are safe at Dusseldorf. He came to London by the express train at five o'clock. He looked fagged and ill. The Duke DE MONTPENSIER and the Duchess of NEIAOURS, and her two children, arrived at Gosport this morning from Jersey. They were accompanied by General LEFFIVRE and one servant. Louis PHILIPPE was expected to arrive at Croydon at twelve o'clock to-day. The Princess LIEVEN, the Marquis of SLIGO, Lady WOMBWELL, with other English families of distinc tion, arrived at Folkestone last night, and left fur town to day. ELECTION COMMITTEES. (NHS DAY.) LYME REGIS. The Lyme Regis Election Committee re-assembled this morning; Lord Ashley in the chair. The CHAIRMAN, at the opening of the Committee, said that he had written to Mr. Attwood to inform him that if he were desirous of giving any explanation with refer ence' to his alleged connexion with the Lyra() election, the Committee would he glad to receive it, and he had since received a reply from that gentleman, stating that he had nothing further to add to the explanations already give❑ by his solicitor. Mr. Sergeant WRANGIIAM then proceeded to sum up the case on behalf of Sir Fitzroy Kelly. BEWDLEY. The Select Committee appointed to try the merits of the Bewdley election petition, met this morning; Mr. Wrightson in the chair. Mr. Sergeant Wraugham and Mr. Sergeant Kinglake appeared for the petitioners, and Mr. Alexander, Mr. E. James, and Mr. Wordsivorth for the sitting Member. Mr. Sergeant WRANGIIAM opened the case. He was prepared to prove that, Mr. Ireland obtained his election through the bribery and corruption of his friends. The principal party whom the petitioners accused of having been instrumental in corrupting the voters was a young gentleman of fortune, named Banks, residing in the neighbourhood, who, it would be proved, beyond all doubt, directly bribed a voter to poll for Mr. Ireland by presenting him with the sum of 151. The young gentleman took a most active part in the proceedings of the election, and some days before the polling he got together a large number of voters, whom he carried with him to his country resi dence and entertained. On the day previous to the election he had them conveyed back to Bewdley, and " bottled up" at the Crown, where they passed the night in drinking. Young Mr. Banks stayed with them all night. The next morning they sat down to an exceed. ingly hospitable breakfast, and then marched in a body and polled for Mr. Ireland, That was the case he was prepared to make out, and he trusted the Committee would have no hesitation in unseating Mr. Ireland. CARLISLE. The Carlisle Election Committee re-assembled this morning, Mr. Divett in the chair, when the case for the sitting Member, Mr. Hodgson, was proceeded with. Mr. George Head, a banker of Carlisle. said that ho had for several years taken a warm interest in the politics of the city as a Conservative, and had repeatedly been requested to stand for Carlisle. At the last election he was again invited by his friends, amongst whom was Mr. Ilodgson himself, to consent to be put in nomination, but he declined to do so. He, however, told his friends that if Mr. Hodgson would come for ward on the Conservative interest he would pay all the expenses, and after some little hesitation Mr. Hodgson allowed his name to be published as a can didate. Mr. Hodgson, however, found no part of the money to meet the expenses of the election, nor had he anything to do with the cases of treating, which had been made out by the other side. Witness was the only party responsible for all that, and he had already spent 1.3001. in the purposes of the election. He still held himself liable for all outstanding bills, and he had no hesitation in stating that he never expected to receive a single sixpence of the money from Mr. Hodgson.

Tne arguments in this case were resumed and con cluded to-day. The case came before hi% Lordship upon appeal from the decision of the Vice Chancellor Wi gram under the following singular state of eircemstaeo.s: —The testator in this cause, a gentleman of the name of Colonel Petrie, had, by his will, dated in July, 1843, bequeathed several legacies to various persons, anti af terwards gave the residue of his personal estate to trus tees upon trust to pay 2001, per annum to his widow, and also to pay 1,000/. to the present managers of the Scottish Episcopal Society, and to make other pay ments. He then added the following clause :—" I desire my trustees shall convert my investments into money, and that they :hall pay such money, after the payment of' legacies and the expenses of the trusts of my will, to the Queen's Chancellor of the Exchequer for the time being, to be appro priated by him for the benefit and advantage of my beloved country, Great Britain." The testator died in April, 1844. A bill having been filed by the plaintiffs, as executors, against the Right Honourable Henry Goulburn, the late Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mrs. Perie, the widow, several parties next of kin, and the Attorney-General, a reference was made to the Master, who found the amount of the residuary personal estate to be about 16,0001. The widow having died in February last, the case was heard before the Vice-Chancellor Wigram, the question before his Honour being whether the residuary bequest was a valid one, or whether the property contained in it was undisposed of and distri butable as such among the next of kin of the testator. The case was argued at. considerable length in the Court below. His Honour, at the conclusion of the argument, took time to consider the question, and ultimately gave judgment, declaring the bequest to be a valid one, though at the same time stating that the case was one judgment the which he had great doubts. From this the parties appealed to the Lord Chancellor, and the case has been argued before him at great length. Mr. Horace Twiss and Mr. Wray were counsel for Mr. Goulburn. The Attorney-General, Mr. Wood, and Mr. Faber, appeared for the executors, and Mr. Romilly, Mr. Hallett, and Mr. Bell, were counsel nsel for the representati ves of the widow, who appealed against the judgment below, contendin.4 that the Court below had come to a wrong conclusion, and that the bequest was wholly void, not being a charitable use within the statute of the 43d of Elisabeth. Mr. ROMILLY replied to day upon the whole case, and The Loma CHANCELLOR pteitponed his judgment: No eases of any public interest occurred either in the Rolls or the Vice-Chancellor's Court.

TO THE EDITOR OF TEE SUN. you kindly raise your potent voice is favour of ns poor dressmakers? Here am I sitting, dinned by my landlady for rent, and nothing wherewithal - to satisfy . her demands. " How so," you will say, " I can see in a book, lying before you, that you have several amounts due to you for dressmaking." Soft, you, Mr. Editor, and so I have; but allow me to explain that my ladies will not think of paying me for two or three months to come, and when they do, they very kindly send some more dresses to be made, upon which I am expected to lay out 11. to IL 10s. for lace, gimp, trimmings, &c., which very often takes half or two thirds of the little bill they have just paid, to purchase, or where the importunities of my baker, grocer, &c., get so strong that I am obliged to divide a little bill between them, how often have I had to pledge my little Sunday finery to purchase the necessary trimmings to enable some lady to sport at an evening party, while I, poor mortal, must deprive myself of the only solace of life—namely, my Sunday walk, to enjoy the fresh breeze of heaven. Neither do the ladies consider how lam to pay the two poor girls I hake to employ—they must be paid—but the ladies c.kre not how. Do, pray, expose this thoughtlessnetos in the higher classes, and you will merit the thanks of, Yours truly, A DRESSMAKER. 4, Upper Grove Cottage, Holloway, March 4, 1848. SILVER VALLEY MINING COMPANY.—Yesterday the second special general meeting of this company was held at the offices of Mr. Stainsby, in Finsbury square. R. Hodgson, Esq., in the chair. The report of the mining captain stated that they had about tour fathoms to drive to prove the junction of the tin lode ; he thought the caple, which is the characteristic of the lode, would not prove detrimental, as the north wall of the north branch was well defined and regular. The accounts showed a balance against the mine of 1,1171. 3:. 6d., to meet which were calls unpaid to the extent of 1,0171. The silver ore raised and sold since the establishment of the company in 1845, amounted to 6001., and the tin ore to 1,8001 The directors in their report left it to the sleireholders to decide if the works should be continued or ab_►ndoned. They thought, at all events, a further call of 2 6d. per share necessary, so that if the machinery sold well some portion of it could be returned. They would now have to take into consideration the resolution passed at the special general meeting held on the 2d of February last, on the subject of dissolution. After some discussion, it was agreed that the company should be wound up, and powers were given to the directors for that purpose. Cusroms.—Mr. D.
