and rouse its dormant powers into activity—namely, that which is emphatically news, and relates to the stirring inci dents of the day. It excludes hire, especially in the country districts, from all knowledge of the proceedings of the Legislature, and of the laws which he is called upon to obey. It deprives him of the means of learning how these laws are administered, and of profiting by the example of those who may incur legal penalties ; the only reports of the proceedings of the courts of law, and of the police offices, being given in the newspapers. It keeps him in ignorance of the various relations of so ciety, the duties of citizens, the best markets for labour, the means of bettering his condition, and of an immense variety of miscellaneous intelligence, for which a newspaper is the only efficient channel of general communication. It exposes him to the mischievous influence of cheap, immoral, and inflammatory publications, which it has been found the law cannot put down, while journals of a better class, which would counteract the evil, are to him rendered inaccessible. By limiting the number of purchasers, and thereby di minishing the chances of successful competition, it gives to a few leading journals a species of monopoly, and a power in the direction of public opinion, which is often productive of great injury. Were the duty withdrawn, newspapers would become so numerous and cheap, that no individual would confine his reading to one journal ; and in accustom ing himself to judge between conflicting accounts and op posite opinions, he would be less likely than he now is to be deceived by ex parte statements and interested false hoods. In tracing the moral effects of a legislative policy which tends to withhold knowledge from the people, it is impossi ble not to be struck with the fact, that the class at present the most dangerous to the security of property and life— time turbulent portion of the peasantry of Ireland, and the incendiaries of England, are—at the same time—the most ignorant and uneducated class, and consist of persons who rarely see either books or newspapers, during their whole lives. There are, in the opinion of the Memorialists, other ob stacles to the diffusion of knowledge, which, inasmuch as they tend to keep the great mass of the people in a state of intellectual and moral debasement, it is highly desirable to remove, and the retention of which can be justified by no considerations of a financial nature. The amount of duties raised by the various taxes affect ing literature, and the diffusion of knowledge, during the year 1833, and which still continued to be levied, was as follows : Newspaper stamps (net produce) X445,836 Advertisements 142,937 Foreign Books Quills 3,782 Paper, 797,5831. ; but as the half only is supposed to be used for writing and printing, say _ Foreign paper, 23i21., say Rags and other materials, used for making paper, 2,3911., say 1,156 1,195 1,004,185 To this account should be added the cost of eleven pre sentation copies to the Universities and other institutions ; a tax severely felt by authors and publishers of the most valuable and expensive works. While each of these restrictions acts as a direct impe diment to the intellectual and moral improvement of the people, it is clear that it is the tax upon the newspaper (the great instrument of civilization) that presents the most formidable obstacle to their advancement ; nor, in the opi nion of the memorialists, will any modification or diminution of this tax remedy the evils produced by it, or secure the advantages anticipated from its removal. After the best consideration which they have been able to give the subject, the memorialists are satisfied that those ends cannot be se cured unless this tax be wholly repealed ; and the refusal to secure such ends, from considerations of loss to the reve nue, were that loss certain and inevitable (which, however, is far from being the case), appears to the memorialists to be alike unjust in itself, and opposed to the principles and aims of a liberal and enlightened Government. The memorialists have only to add that while, for the present, they confine their prayer to the repeal of the stamp duty upon newspapers, they hope the time is not distant when the Government will be prepared to remove the duty upon advertisements, the duty upon paper used for writing and printing, and the minor burdens affecting literature, enumerated in this memorial. NOTE TO THE MEMORIAL.—A statement of the sale of unstamped newspapers : Cleave's Weekly Police Gazette. 32,000 Hetherington's Twopenny Dispatch 27,000 Vendor's Weekly Police Gazette Ditto Twopenny Dispatch Police Register Sundry others Making, together, nearly 100,000 weekly unstamped news papers sold. By an official return, it appears that forty-nine persons have suffered imprisonment for vending the above, between the 27th of February, 1833, and the 14th April, 1834. It may be remarked that the unstamped publications that circulate the most extensive are those which give the best police intelligence. It has been found that more poli tical disquisitions of an inflammatory character will com mand but a very limited sale. It is necessary to guard against an error likely to arise from the different returns furnished by the Stamp-office. In some accounts the gross proceeds of the newspaper duty are stated without deducting the 20 per cent. discount al lowed to the trade. The gross proceeds for 1834 of the newspaper duty for Great Britain were 507,373/. 16s. ld. ; for Ireland (at present unknown), say 31,5001. From this return must be deducted 20 per cent. Since the year 1831, the newspaper duty has fallen off, chiefly it is supposed through the unstamped press, to the amount of 47,414/. 18s. sd. Gross proceeds (from which should be deducted twenty per cent.) 1834. 1507,373 16 1 Loss £47,414 18 5 The advertisement duty for 1834, when the late reduc tion from 3s. 6d. to Is. 6d. came into full operation, shows a diminution of duty upon London advertisements as follows : 1832. £59,822 8 6 1834. Loss _ £25,833 11 0 It may be presumed, therefore, that the total amount of duty upon advertisements for Great Britain and Ireland, is now under 100,000/. From evidence, furnished by Mr. Charles Knight to the Commissioners of Excise Inquiry, it appears that upon 50,000 copies of a volume, sold in sheets for ss. 4d., and containing 64 sheets, such as the Penny Cyclopcedia, one fifth of the amount is paper duty. Duty 9s. per ream, upon 3,200 reams Paper-maker's profit upon duty 5 per cent., stationer's, 10 per cent. Publisher's and retailer's profit upon the duty, amount ing, upon all cheap works, to not less than 50 per cent. 994 £2,6.50 The same gentleman observes, that if the paper duty were removed, the speculation which now pays at a sale of .50,000 copies, would then pay at 30,000 ; or if the duty were reduced one-half, the speculation which now pays at .50,000, would then pay at 40,000. Newspapers pay in paper-duty to Government upwards of one thousand pounds upon every million of sheets (one thousand sheets weigh 881bs., which, at 3d. per lb., is 225.) The present circulation of newspapers in Great Britain and Ireland is confined to 35 millions—little more than one paper per year for each individual of the population. Lon don is the only city of the United Kingdom maintaining a daily journal, while in America every town containing eight thousand or ten thousand inhabitants, has its own daily paper. . _ . ;' This calculation is, however, under the truth. The duty upon first-class paper produces 649,2731. ; upon second-class paper 102,9811. A vacancy has occurred in the Sub-Committee of Drury-lane Theatre by the unexpected demise of William Linley, Esq., brother to the first lady of the celebrated Brins- Icy Sheridan. It will be filled up at the next general meeting of the proprietors. On Friday evening, as the mail-coach from Limerick was on its way from Nenagh to Toomevara, a country fellow with a bludgeon clung to the hind part of it. The guard (who is the eccentric Andrew Cosgrave) being in the act of reviewing his bags, desired the fellow to keep off; but he re peated his injunction in vain. The fellow taking advantage of Cosgrave while drawing the mail bags closer together, gave him a sudden slash of his stick upon the forehead ; Cosgrave, though half stunned by the blow, discharged a pistol at the miscreant, but to what effect we cannot say, as the fellow, after falling, rose again and bounded over a wall.—Dublin Paper. Yesterday, about 12 o'clock, as an Irish labourer, named Martin Neal, was proceeding towards his home across the waste piece of ground at the top of Carlisle-street, Edge ware-road, he heard the cries of a child issuing from some un finished houses, on searching which he discovered a little girl, about five years of age, with no other covering upon her than a piece of old flannel petticoat. Upon his questioning her, lie informed him that, about an hour before, as she and several other children were at play together near her father's house in, Exeter-street, Lisson.grove, she was accosted by a respecta bly-dressed woman, who gave her some sweetmeats, and en ticed her from her companions with a promise of a new bonnet and a blue spencer, to the spot where she stripped her. She described the woman as rather tall, very much marked with the small-pox, and dressed in black. Mr. Mackinnon, the child's father, who is in respectable circumstances, has offered a reward for the apprehension of the thief. The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 20 minutes past 3 o'clock.

Despatches have been received from Lord ELIOT, dated Logrono, the 29th April, by which it appears that an agreement for the mutual exchange of prisoners had been signed, both by General VALDEZ and Gene ral ZUMALACARREGUI. The Conservatives have been celebrating their late triumph in South Devon by a public dinner, which they gave to Mr. PARKER, at Exeter, on Thursday last. Little or nothing worthy of comment was spoken on this ocaasion, if we except a remark let fall by the Rev. Precentor LOWE, to the effect that the " cause in which they (the Conservatives) had been lately engaged, was not the cause of the Clergy, but it was the cause of the people. The property of the Church was all the people's." If this be really the case—and we are far from being willing to dispute it—how comes it that the Clergy are making such an outcry about " plunder," " spoliation," and so forth ? Even upon the Conservatives' own showing, the people have " a right to do what they will with their own !" The Duke of NEWCASTLE has laid this down as an axiom not to be controverted. It is the foundation-stone of the Tory creed. With what justice then can the Rev. Pre centor LOWE find fault with Lord JOIIN RUSSELL for attempting, temperately and dispassionately, to act upon it ? All that his Lordship contends fot is, that the people, speaking through their Representatives, have a right to a voice in the disposition of whatever surplus may remain, after the wants of the Irish Church have been duly provided for. But our Devonshire parson goes far beyond this. He asserts, that in England, as well as in Ireland, not a surplus merely, but the whole Church pro perty belongs to the people ; yet, notwithstanding this wholesale admission, he will not permit them to have the slightest voice in the distribution of it. The truth is, the Church, with that fine tact for which it has always been distinguished, finds it convenient just now to enlist the people in its cause by a little adroit flat tery. The Whale, it seems to think, is approaching too near the ship ; it is necessary therefore to throw out a ' Tub, by way of diverting its course. In the palmy High Church days, a Parson would as soon have given up all hankering after promotion, as have acknow ledged that the property of the establishment belonged to the people. Such a doctrine would then have been little short of blasphemy. But now things are changed ; and Churchmen, like other monopolists, are fast de scending to their proper level. The people whom they once braved, they must now conciliate ; hence the Rev. Precentor LowE's flattering dictum, that Church property is the property of the nation. It is not, however, to be supposed that because the Church concedes this fact, it will be in any great hurry to follow it up in a worthy spirit. Such an in ference, however plausible, would be a very erroneous one. He must know but little of the real character of Churchmen, who thinks they would surrender one farthing of their enormous property,except on compulsion. It may belong to the nation nominally, but in reality they will take good care it shall be theirs. They are not the men—whatever they may assert to the con trary—to let the clerical loaves and fishes slip through their fingers without a struggle. It is clear from the way in which the Conservatives speak of Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S defeat, that they look on it as another triumph gained for the Church. They will find, however, that its result will be far dif ferent to what they anticipate ; for instead of protract ing, its only effect will be to precipitate a searching , Reform, not only in the funds, but also in the disci pline and general conduct, of the establishment. That, notwithstanding their victory, they are not altogether without fears on this head, is evident from the pains they are taking to prove that their pet-apostle PHILL POTTS behaved with infinite religious forbearance throughout the South Devon Election. He con ducted himself, say their organs, as a Protes tant Divine should do, keeping decorously aloof from all its vulffar nn , l T!inn .11,u enuuse to believe this assertion may ; for our parts we rank among the sceptics. We are well acquainted with the Bishop's tastes and turn of mind as a public man. We have read his pamphlets ; we have heard his speeches ; and know that a more red hot, unflinching, neck-or-nothing political partizan never existed. Nor is he over-fastidious about the means which he employs to serve the ends of his party. He can, for instance, drop the " No Popery" cry (as in the case of the Catholic Question) when it is neces sary to Sir ROBERT PEEL'S purpose that it should be dropped ; and raise it again when that shrewd Statesman gives a hint that it should be raised. Is there a man in existence, with two ideas in his head, who believes that Lord JOHN RUSSELL would have been defeated, if the whole combined influence of the diocese of Exeter had not been brought to bear against him ; if the " No-Popery" cry had not been craftily raised to confirm the wavering—alarm the timid—and infuse fresh metal into the bigoted ? And is it to be supposed, that while all this open and secret, direct and indirect, clerical influence was at work, the leader of the Church party in Devonshire should have been passive and quiescent? Those who can give credence to such a preposterous absurdity are fit only for the meridian of Bedlam. It gratifies us to find that Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S defeat has created just the sort of popular excite ment that was to have been hoped for. No sooner did the news reach Manchester, than the Reformers of that intelligent and public-spirited town called a public Meeting, at which they entered into a resolution to subscribe five hundred poudds, in aid of the neces sary expenses of his next election, should he be op posed !" When Sir GEORGE MURRAY was defeated in Perthshire, and Mr. WOOD, in Middlesex, we do not find (even though both these gentlemen professed themselves Reformers) that Manchester volunteered funds to assist them at any future election. This is strange, and perhaps the Conservatives will help us to an explanation. Manchester, May 7, 1835. SlR,.—in consequence of the rejection of Lord JOHN RUSSELL for Devon, some of the friends of Reform in this place met soon after the intelligence of this Tory achievement arrived, and entered into a resolution to subscribe Five Hundred Pounds in aid of the necessary expences of his next election, should he be opposed. You are aware that a subscription was sent to his Committee from this place, to aid in defraying his expences in the late contest ; and as we feel that a large debt of gratitude is due to Lord JOHN for his uniform support of the best interests of his country, we have great pleasure in having an op portunity of showing him that the people are not unmindful of his services. You are at liberty to make any use of this communication which you may think proper. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, EDWARD BAXTER. We call the earnest attention of our readers to a paragraph headed " Church Rates," which we have extracted from a provincial paper. It appears that the Churchwardens of Bungay, in Suffolk, have insti tuted proceedings in the Ecclesiastical Court against several of the inhabitants of that town, for the recovery of Church -rates, which they, being Dissent Pr's, could not conscientiously, and therefore would not volun- tardy, pay. The result of these proceedings is, that an attachment has been issued against Mr. CHILDS, one of the non-payers, and he is on the eve of being lodged in a jail, until he shall provide himself with a more accommodating conscience I This is admirable ! This is the true way to ensure a sweeping measure of Church Reform. The Dissenters, it seems, stand in need of an occasional fillip of the Bungay sort to rouse their fagging spirit, and stir up the dying embers of sectarian zeal. Those, too, among the liberal fre quenters of the Church who object to the imposition in question, will not feel their reluctance overcome by the imprisonment of a man who is so highly re spectable as a member of society, a n d w h ose eer tions, as a printer and publisher, have been more in - trumental in the dissemination of knowledge than those, perhaps, of any other man in the kingdom. So far, therefore, are we from regretting this outrage upon Mr. CHILDS, that we sincerely rejoice at it, and think him highly honoured in being singled out, for the liberality of his sentiments, and his efforts to enliglitci; mankind, as the object of ecclesiastical hatred a n d vengeance. The Churchwardens of Bungay may now enrol THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 9, 1835. By the Packet Ship, North America, which has just made the voyage from New York to Liverpool in twenty-one days, we have received a file of Ame '-an papers up to the 18th of April. Their contents, - are of little importance. The trial of LA w howeve,, '.empting to shoot President JACKSON, RENCE for L. themselves among those Reformers who have laboured most successfully in ridding the country of this most obnoxious and disgusting impost this nuisance, which owes its origin to priestly rapacity, and its continuance to a greedy and sordid spirit, which cannot brook the surrender of that of which it has once by any means become possessed. This nuisance, with others, thank God, is about to be abated. Measures arc in progress that will draw the fangs of the Tory aristocracy, and pare the claws of the clergy, while they will restore to the people the rights of which they have been deprived, by the unprincipled usurpa tion of those who ought to have been their natural pro tectors. The Gazette of last night contains two elevations to the Peerag—Mr. LITTLETON and Sir JOIIN BYNG. The title of Mr. LITTLETON is Baron Hatherton, of Hatherton, in the county of Stafford. Sir JOHN BYNG has selected the family title of Strafford, being descended from the Earl of that name. His grandmother (Lady ANNE CONOLLY), Lady Lucy HOWARD, and Lady HARRIET VERNON, were the daughters of the Lord STRAFFORD who signed the peace of Utrecht. The Earldom has been extinct since 1799, and Mr. BYNG, of Middlesex, in herited all the Earl's estates and personal property, which are settled on Sir JOHN BYNG. The Paris papers of Thursday bring the report of the third day's sitting of the Chamber of Peers in the New Court of the Luxembourg, together with the close of the proceedings at the previous sitting. To the report itself, which will be found in another column, we beg to refer for the particulars of these ex traordinary and disgraceful exhibitions of judicial jugglery. The Peers, after all, are but indifferent performers. They have had rehearsals—their memory never fails them—they know well what the Royal Manager expects of them; but notwithstanding all this, they find that they cannot proceed without incurring a responsibility from which they shrink with horror. The appearance of the prisoners disconcerts them, and from a variety of causes. Some of their Lordships must feel a qualm of conscience as they sit in judg ment on men whom they well know to be miracles of loyalty, and gratitude, and goodness, compared with themselves. The religious and political renegades who waded to honours, and preferments, and dignities, through rivers of blood, shed by their own machina. tions, cannot but feel some twitch of conscience, as they behold themselves about to pass judgment on men whom they themselves, by precept and example, ini tiated in the mystery of dethroning Kings—men too whom they, their judges, would have extolled to the stars as paragons of patriotism, had they succeeded in wresting the sceptre of France from the hand -which now retains it within its nervous grasp. Others among them cannot avoid asking themselves—is the present among the glorious privileges obtained by the exnul , inn of rr nr.r.s X. ? Is it indeed come to such a low ebb with France, that her .fecr. 1,111,,t mit to become the violators of all law, under a pretence of upholding it, so as to suit the caprices of the golden image which they themselves have set up ? A Corre spondent of a Morning contemporary, who writes from the New Court of the Luxembourg, states that the cla mour of the prisoners, protesting against the competency of the Court, had such an effect on the PRESIDENT, that he fainted in presence of the Tribunal. Some thing more than the mere sound of the prisoner's voices must have unstrung the nerves, and stilled the breathing of Baron PASQUIER. AGRIPPA was struck dumb by the defence of PAUL, even while FEsTus, the Roman Governor, ascribed his elo quence to insanity. The KING'S conscience was alarmed, and he trembled at the " words of truth and soberness." May there not have been some such cause for the PRESIDENT'S fainting fit ? May it not have struck him that the ermine on his own shoulders was worn for unholy purposes ? The resolution of the Peers, after some three hours' deliberation on the demand of the Procureur-General for punishing CAVAIGNAC, and the prisoners who joined him in interrupting - the proceedings of the Court, is a manifest proof of the terrors of that august assembly. Instead of inflicting the punish ment provided by the laws, the Peers content them selves, after the manner of a village shrew in the cor rection of a dirty little urchin, with threatening that the next chastisement shall be a double one. This is pitiful in the extreme. It moreover holds out an in direct encouragement to the prisoners to continue to oppose the judicial proceedings of the Peers; for if the Peers leave the punishment of the latter offence until the accused are convicted of treason against the State, an indefinite postponement of the sentence is tanta mount to an acquittal. No person will pity the KING should these trials terminate in another revolution ; and there is reason to apprehend some such catastrophe in France within the memory of the present generation. The unfortunate victims of Royal perfidy and ruthlessness arc all but driven mad by the extreme hardships they have endured, during eighteen months rigorous incarceration, sepa rated from their wives and children. The nation sym pathises with their wrongs, and will revenge them. FRENCH FUNDS.-PARIS, Mar 7. Five per Cents., 1071. 90c. 95c. Four per Cents., 99f. 20c. "lime per Cents., _Blf. 75c. 70c. 75c.

UPPER CANADA—THE WEATIIIR.--0111* farmers have severely felt the almost total want of snow during the winter, but on Saturday night it began to make its appearance in downright earnest, and during the entire of Saturday con tinued to fall unremittingly.

On the evening of the 13th, the Hon. „TWIN SUDAM, a Member of the Senate of the United States, died suddenly at his own residence. The event was communicated in the Senate and the House of Assembly on the 14th, when resolutions were passed expressive of admiration for his great talents, and regret for his loss, both as a senator and a citizen. The Halifax Papers state that the weather during the present month has been more boisterous than any part of the winter ; during the last four days they have experienced two very severe snow storms, with heavy gales from every point of the compass. Great fears are entertained in the City for the loss of the Halifax packet. Brussels and German Papers have been received. The latter bring advices of some disputes in Greece between the Greek and Bavarian soldiery, but the par ticulars are uninteresting. There is no other news in these journals. We cannot too strongly reprobate the conduct of some of our Contemporaries in opening their columns to every stock-jobbing express from Spain. It is im possible that they can be ignorant of the purport of these gross fabrications. The following is a specimen taken from the columns of a Morning Contemporary of this day : " PORTSMOUTH, MAT S.-The Royal Tar steamer, some time in the employ of the Queen Regent of Spain, arrived this morning at Spithead, in three days only from Santander. It appears undoubted that the defeat of Valdez arose from a want of judgment and skill, and has been most severe. He is, at least, worth 5,000 men less than he was when he assumed the command, while the loss of the Carlists does not exceed 1,500. In addition to this the garrison of Bilboa, to the amount of 4,000 men, hare been betrayed by their General, who sent them, under various pretexts, into the neighbouring villages, in parties, where they were cut off, and disarmed seriatim by the Carlists. The General escaped; not a doubt exists that he has betrayed his trust." Now we arc enabled, on the testimony of a military gentleman on board the Royal Tar steamer, during the latest occurrences in the northern provinces of Spain, to correct the above confused and substantially erroneous statement. He says " the Royal Tar left St. Andero on the 4th inst., when the general reports there were, that the operations of General VALDEZ having inter cepted, with his forces, the passes of the Amescoas, Alsazna, &c., through which the Carlists used to move freely into any part of Navarre and Guipuzcoa, had compelled the whole of them (about fifteen thousand strong, armed regularly, and ten thousand more—not deserving the name of troops) headed by ZUMA LACA RitEGu t,--and accompanied by Don CAR LOS—to retire into Biscay, between the 26th and 27th ultimo ; and were about the first or second concentrated at Guernica. At the time of their retreat, it appears that the only division of the Queen's troops in Biscay, were about 3,500 men, commanded by IRIA RTE, who being suddenly at tacked by the whole Carlist forces in their march, were obliged to retreat to Lequeitia, with some loss. The other divisions of the QUEEN'S troops—now that the object of General VALDEZ has been obtained of dis lodging Zum ALA CA R REGU I from his favourite mountains and passes in Navarre, must have followed close upon the latter, and a definitive and important engagement was therefore to have taken place shortly afterwards, of the favourable result of which, for the QUEEN'S cause, there can hardly be any doubt, if the superior; means, and the known energy and abilities of General VALDEZ are properly consi dered. As to the loss sustained by that General ac cording to the Carlist bulletins, and the express above mentioned in the affairs of the 21st and 22d, out informant assures as that it is hardly worth mentioning, and indeed the subsequent abandonment of Navarre by the Carlists bears out that opinion completely. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. A great scarcity of money has prevailed for these two days past in the Stock Exchange, and the cause is now attributed to the preparations which are making by persons engaged in converting Spanish Stock, together with the deferred and passive portions of the Cortes Debt, to pay for them on their delivery, which will take place on next Monday, and i very large sum will be required for that purpose. This has also been the cause for numerous applications to the Bank for discounts.
