This order of the day seems to have awakened much ' enthusiasm at Bologna. The Italian° rises into a strain remarkably indicative of the state of feeling, not only in the city, but in Rome :—" The campaign is opened with the magnificent order of the day from our General DURANDO. With the cross of CHRIST on our hearts, we shall assail the enemy of Italy and of GOD. We shall force them to swallow the bias phemies they have imprecated against the most Holy PONTIFF. We shall purge 'his sacred soil, for so many years profaned by them, and now, with such atro cious cruelty, deluged by streams of innocent blood. ' GoD willeth it,' we shall go. ' GOD willeth it,' we shall combat. .' GOD willeth it,' we shall conquer. Yes, we shall make Italy ONE, as Plus wills it—as CHARLES ALBERT wills it—as Milan, Venice, Sicily and all the States of Italy will it." The Milan Gazette of the 21st instant contains the following : " The entire' of Southern Tyrol has declared in favour of the good cause, with the exception only of the Valley of the Adige, which is kept in awe by the presence or the Austrian troops concentrated at Trentum. Major Trolli, of the Piedmontese army, was taken prisoner in a sortie effected by the Austrian garrison of Peschiera. The Piedmontese forces occupy the most advantageous positions near Verona. The heavy artillery has arrived. l'wo envoys from Parma came to offer King Charles Albert the co-operation of their troops, which he ac cepted. general Durando, with the pontifical division, was to blockade the fortress of Ferrara."

ITALY. LOMBARDY AND VENICE. The Austrian Gerieral NUGENT has crossed the la °rizo at the head of 30,000 troops, without any a ttempt on the part of Zucca', the Italian General, t° prevent him. It is probable, however, that Zucca' may attempt to prevent NUGENT from form ink a junction with RADETSKT under the walls of Verona. • The Provisional Government of Milan has issued 'llll address to the bankers, merchants, and manufac turers of Austria, Moravia, and Bohemia, which it styles an explanation on their mutual interests. " The people of Italy," says this circular, " desire a congress at Rome, a uniform system of commerce and coinage. No one can prevent us from doing this. Who wishes to wage war with us? The council of war of Austria? It needs money to carry it on, and where will it find any? Your credit is tottering, and you could scarcely raise a loan at fifty per cent. Your finances were in a bad state even at the time when the Lombardo- Venetian territory paid annually twenty millions of I ,lorins into your coff e rs. Th a t i s s t o pp e d. H ungary oak no money. The Polish provinces and the moult :, t.ti%;nous districts have none. The Italian market is shut Austrian and Bohemian wares as soon as war com t4chees. Peace alone can keep it open. Happy will that nation be which will be the first to enter 'Mu a commercial treaty with fruitful Italy ! It Austria does not speedily come to terms of peace, it will be the °illy nation which will be tor ever and most justly ex cluded from all commerce with' us. Woe to Bohemia and Austria it' they send a single band of volunteers against us. Only toward those who are compelled to take up arms against us will we prove magnanimous. .As lung as the war lasts innumerable ships from every emit ot Italy will blockade the Adriatic. Not a single ship will be allowed to enter Trieste or Fiume, unless bearing the olive branch. The question of the Indian mail is in our hands. Urged on by the squabbles of the Vienna Bourse, and of the Hof•Kammer, we have let ' the whole capital of the Lombardo-Venetian and Tuscan Railways hang a dead weight on the neck of your com merce. This capital is now entirely in our power. We could repay ourselves with this for the ten millions our bank has been cheated out of by the Hof-Kammer. The bankers, merchants, manufacturers, and capitalists of Austria, Moravia, and Bohemia, are, therefore, entirely at our mercy, by mighty interests, both present and future. If they choose to cast their capital into the chasm of war, so much the worse for them. Their capital , will be lost, the war will not for this reason turn out one . whit the better for Austria, and all traffic between them and us will be troncato per sernpre, cut off for evermore." IMPORTANT FROM ITALY. MANGE OF DYNASTY IN SICILY. The following official document has been published at Palermo : " The Parliament declares-1. FERDINAND BOUR BON and his dynasty are for ever fallen from the throne of Sicily. 2. Sicily shall govern herself con stitutionally, and call to the throne an Italian Prince as soon as she shall have reformed her statuto. " pone and resolved at Palermo, on the 13th " The President of the Chamber of Commons, " Marquis of TORREARSA; " The President of the Chamber of Peers, " Duke of SERRADIFALCO ; " The President of the Kingdom, " RUGGER° SETTIMO." The town was to be illuminated the three nights Following ; on the 13th all the bronze statues of the [louse of Bourbon were thrown down, and they will be cast into cannon. The Provisional Government has also published the following decree, altering the import duties on 'various articles. The decree is introduced as fol lows: HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. In consequence of the sudden illness of Gardoni, Lucrezia Borgia was not performed, as announced, last night. I Due Foscari, the scene from the Matrimonio Segrelo, sung by Lablache and his son,. the divertisstinent of the Ros4re, and the ballet of Fiorito were substituted; it is needless to add that the audience quaffed the bumper with undiminished zest—indeed, the ovations were more numerous than in general. As to the future—if such a term can be applied to what will begin at the end of this week— the most agreeable assurance was the actual presence of Mdlle. Lind last night, who was of course an object of deepest interest to the audience, whose eyes were constantly turned towards her box. She is to appear as soon as duly rested from her arduous journey. The preparations going on at the theatre, we hear, are incessant. Mdlle. Schwartz's talent is imtne diately to be tried to its full extent. She is to appear as the heroine of an opera. To this must be added, that although long after the appointed moment, Cerito and St. Leon have at last arrived, and will appear on Thursday. They were long detained at Venice. For ten days that city was so completely beleaguered that they could neither convey nor re ceive news. Even from Padua, distant but an hour's journey by railroad, no intelligence could be received. They at last managed to escape, but were once more stopped by the manoeuvres of the hostile forces in the neighbourhood of Ferrara. Il farnoso ballerino Per rot, of whom no news had been received since he headed the men of prowess at Milan, is said to be arrived in Paris. Tadolini is likewise said at last to have effected her passage across the Alps on the 15th ult. All we ha ve t o a dd, i n the shape of operatic news, is that the new tenor, M. Labocetto, will make his debut in the opera in which Mdlle. Schwartz is immediately to appear. A reform of the Custom-house tariff now existing . 44 1eriously occupied the attention of the Central Pro- Cons' Government. The tariff, based on obsolete rPoeiples, now rejected by all civilized people, favouri ng v ° eign interest, to which our articles of consumption iir l e te too long subject, is but little adapt e d t o t h e wants o 'll intelligence of an era so gloriou s ly commence d.

La Donna del Lago was produced here, for the first time this season, last evening, and attracted, as it always ti:ust, a crowded house. This opera can only be cast by a strong company, and when so cast its success is always immense, because every one has a good part. Grisi, who was in excellent voice, was the Elena, and Mario, who never sung better in his life, the James Fitzjames. His duet with Grisi in the first act was rapturously encored, and he was greatly applauded in a morgeau in the second act, an introduction borrowed from Picini. Alboni, as Malcolm, although scarcely equal to her great pre decessor Pisaroni, was admirable. Her duct with Grisi in the second act was delicious. Tamburini, albeit not the T am b ur i n i o f f ormer d a y s , acted Roderick Dhu to th e lif e , and Marini made a good rough Douglas. The opera was admirably put on the stage, and the choruses and orchestral accompaniments were beyond all praise. WINDSOR, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 25.—The birthday of the Princess Alice Maud Mary was cele brated here to-day by the ringing of the church and castle belts, and the firing of royal salutes from the Bel videre Battery, in the Great Park, and also by the cor poration in the Bachelor's -acre.

In the foreign accounts (private letters), we hear that there are allusions to failures at Vienna, but the names are not freely or confidently mentioned.

The accounts from Van Diemen's Land describe the colony as being flourishing, but in want of free labour. The Corn Market is steady to-day. In the Public Securities there has been some change. The possibility of the British Minister retiring from Madrid has induced the specu lators to sell again ; but there is more doing for money than time. Consols have been 821 to 811-Ik.

The Lord Chancellor resumed his sittings to-day, after the short interval of the Easter recess. FORD V. WASTELL. This case stood in his Lordship's paper for jud gment, but was adjourned till this day week , in ord er to aff or d time for further consideration of the a utho rities. Th e question in the case relates to the ope nin g of an enrol ment of a decree, and the giving of further time for th e payment off of a mortgage. SHARPE V. TAYLOR. The Court proceeded to hear the further argu ments in this part-beard case, which came before his Lordship be fore the Easter recess, upon appeal from the deci sion of the Vice-Chancellor Wigram. The plaintiff and de fendant are merchants of Liverpool. In 1 839 an A rno• rican built ship was stranded at the mouth of the literacy, and Taylor, in conjunction with Sh ar p e, pure h ased and repaired her on a joint speculation, with a view of send ing her back to America to be sold. The „ship wa s accordingly sent to Charleston, with a cargo, an d on the advice and r eco mmendation of Mr. Robertson, th e agent in that city, she was registered as his sole property, i n order to make a sale more practicable. Robertson was, however, unable to effect a sale, and the ship ma d e two voyages between Charleston and Liv erpool on the understanding between the parties that Taylor was to receive from the hands of, Robertson the sums made by freight, and account to Sharpe. No money . e .„ paid, nor account rendered, and in May, 184 0, Sher e filed his bill a gainst Taylor and Robertson , allegin— g thPat they had conspired to defraud him of his share by al lowing Robertson to assume the ownership of the vessel, and praying th at be might be declared entitled to a moiety of the / value of the ship and the profits made from freight, but that if it turned out on inquir— y that Robertson was the real owner, then that Taylor might be ord ere d t o accoun t for all monies be had Jul from Robertson to the credit of the plairttifE -1 1." answer Taylor denied that the plaint4ff Is title to the moiety of the profits, as h e bad ad Lle ii . , but ' a very sma ll portion of the purchaae. roon : and ho alleged that th e y had no claim ap e a Robertson which could . be enforced at WV, 447 they had all owe d bi m t o become the registered own er or 7 LY_ ship, and were at his mere), for such sums aa his 10, of honour and justice might induce him to concede. lie also stat e d, that in point of fact no -claim could bo enforced by 'any . party, in consequence of the • freight teing earned.in violation of toe English u s - viptiQUlSPi . . - re The Vice-Chancellor was of opinion, on the admissions made by Taylor in his answer, that there must be an account of the sums received tor freight. Those ac counts were taken, and three decrees were subsequently made, with which both parties were dissatisfied, and against which both appealed. Tne.Solicitor-General, Mr. Bethel!, and Mr. Follett are counsel for the plaintiffs ; and Mr. Wood and Mr. Hislop Clarke for the defendants. The arguments of Mr. Wood occupied the Court the whole morning. VICE --CHAD CER .-(THIS DA (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) CHANBRE V. SIGGERS. The f ur th er arguments in this part-heard case occu pied the Court the whole morning. (Before the Vice Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.) THE MAYOR OF ROCHESTER V. LEE. The further arguments in this part-heard motion were resumed this morning, and had not concluded when our afternoon edition went to press. (Before the Vice-Chancellor WIGRAX.) SALOMONS U. 11A9ENCLEVER. llis H oNova gave judgment to-day in this case, the at questio n i n which arose out of a settlement made ' Dusseld or f , on the marriage of the daughter of Peter Salomon,: with the defendant, Hasenclever, whereby the father contracted to settle the third part of his estate, according to the provisions of the Code Napoleon, for the benefit of the husband and wife, and children of the marriage. Mr_ Salomons a‘terwards became domiciled in England, where he died in 1843. The remainder of his estate came to be distributed according to the pro visions of a settlement made on the marriage of another daughter, and under several voluntary deeds subsequently made for the benefit of his family. On the case coming on for argument, various accounts of the estate of Mr. Salomons at the time of the Dusseldorf settlement, and acquired subsequently, and the moneys paid to Mr. Hasenclever, in satisfaction of the contract, were directed, but the Court reserved its judgment on the point of out of what fund the Dusseldorf contract should be satisfied. His Honour this morning stated his opinion to be that it should be made good out of the goneral estate of the testator; and directed the minutes to be drawn up accordingly, at the same time ordering the case to be spoke to when the minutes were prepared. COMMON PLE.ii.B.rius DAY.) • TURNER V. AIEREWETHE R. This was an action for the publication of a libel, charging the plaintiff with forgery and j • action was tried before Lord D enman, in Surrey, and The a verdict found - for the plaintiff f or 1, 000/ Application was made for a new trial, on the groun d of the absence of a material witness, named Harrison, a surgeon, residing at Reading, in consequence o health. Application was made to his Lo r d s hi p to post poneiii the trial, but a commission had be en issued two days previously to take the evidence of that witness. He refused to do so. Secondly, on the ground that the damages wero excessive. And, thirdly, on the gr oun d that the inuendos in the declaration were not supported by the words of the libel. The Court granted a rule on the first point but refused to do so on the second, considering that the damages were not excessive, taking into account the serious nature of the charges of forgery and perjury . ; and on the third point they deferred their decision until they had looked into the affidavits.—Rule granted upon two points. SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.) There was only one case set down for hearing this day. The jury were detained for some time, none of the parties being in attendance—at length the attorney sent word that the case was settled. The jury com plained of this, as forty-eght are summoned, and any absentee is liable, not only to be fined, but to be called upon to serve at the Central Criminal Court. The attorney gets his costs, but the jury and officers of the Court are put to inconvenience without any remunera tion. The complaint has frequently been made by the jury, who are all tradesmen in the city, to whom time is particularly valuable, but hitherto no remedy has been found. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) (Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE gold several county Magistrates.) . .. . _ The Court was detained a considerable time, after its sitting, in consequence of prosecutors and witnesses not being in attendance. In all cases that were not ready at ten o'clock, the Court ordered the expenses to be re fused. Several policemen, however, applied in the course of the morning to have their particular cases ex cepted from that order, on the ground that the prisoners in their charge had only been committed yesterday. The Court allowed these officers their expenses. The remainder of the calendar was gone through, but it contained only charges of petty larceny, which pre sented no feature of the slightest public interest. THE CHARTIST MEETING IN ED INB URGH. The Chartist demonstration, held on the Calton Hill, on Monday evening, proved a total failure. There might have been 600 or 700 persons on the hill; but, owing to the unfavourable weather, the meeting adjourned to the hall in Adam- square, where, after the assembly had been kept waiting a consider able time for the committee, a memorial to the Queen, praying her Majesty to dissolve the present Par liament, was ultimately adopted. Delegates were then appointed to represent the Scotch Chartists in the great " National Assembly," to be held in this metropolis on the Ist of May. CHARTIST CONVENTION. The delegates composing this convention appear t ) ( be, like the public, completely weary of their old routine of rapid and monotonous speech-making. Upon the occasion of their last assembling the sitting were adjourned till Tuesday (yesterday.) Up on our arr i va l at the usual place of meeting we found however a notice upon the door, informing the few disappointed idlers standing near the spot, that the Convention would not sit there that day. We find that a similar notice is again posted to-day. What may be the reason of this breach of faith with the public, and neglect of duty to the constituents who sent the various delegates up to London, of course we are not aware of—probably either the Easter festivities and free exhibition of the metro polis have too many charms, or the measure which has recently received the sanction of the Crown too many terrors to allow of their assembling in the usual manner. There is also another circumstance which has no doubt had considerable weight in influencing the proceedings of the delegates. Upon looking over the Northern Star we find a letter headed " The People's Charter and no Surrender," which proceeded to state that " Not only from all parts of the kingdom, but in the House of Commons. I have received assurance that the people's charter will be the adopted principle of the opposition; and the landed aristocracy of this country having proved themselves the greatest enemies of liberty, a prompt assault will be made upon their unconstitutional and worn-out p r i v il eges. * • " The middle classes, the shopkeepers, and Irish re pealers, are but recent converts to our principles, and that, thus augmented in force, it is our boynden duty to try its pressure upon the House. If you doubt the pre sent temper of the former supporters of Whigg,ery, you should have been in the House on Friday night last, when every member of the Government, as well as the Attorney-General, was received as he rose, with the hootings, the howlings, and the yells of their former Supporters, though not one word of it is reported by the press, although they were actually hooted down every time they rose. * ' • 4" In conclusion, then, what I have to implore of you is, to postpone your National Assembly, whose enthu siasm may be operated upon by spies, until you see the effect of this new combination (of disappointed hope, when arrayed against an intolerant liberty-slaying Go vernment." .11.111•11 Died at Turin on the 10th of April, 1848, the Hon.

FIRE ON THE RIVER THAMES.—Some excitement was caused yesterday afternoon along the river side, in the neighbourhood of Hungerford- bridge, in conse quence of the sudden outbreak of a fire in one of the large sailing barges lying at Bennett's-wharf, Belvidere road. The vessel, which was loaded with hay and clover, took fire in the cabin, through the overheating of the stove. Nearly two hours elapsed ere the flames could be extinguished, and not until the cabin was burned out and nearly thirty loads of clover consumed. The barge was named the Belaes, belonging to Mr. B enjamin Cockett, of Hull-bridge, near Malden, in Essex, and is understood to be uninsured.

A MODERN VERSION OF THE EAGLE AND CHILD. —Several days since, as a gentleman was driving down the strath of Kildonan, his attention was attracted by piercing cries of a young child, which appeared to pro ceed from a rocky cliff; and, on looking; up, he saw Ta eagle sitting o n th e l e d ge o f a p ro jecting crag, bus i ly employed i n t ear i ng t h e c l ot h es f rom o ff the infant.

NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING. TUESDAY. I When we dispatched our report of Monday's racing, it was the prevailing impression that neither Gl en d ower nor Loadstone would run for the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes, and it received apparent confirmation from the large sums laid out the previous night at evens on Blaze, coupled with the fact that none but him, Fern, and Flat catcher, were in the betting. In fact, it appeared to be a settled thing that there would be only four runners, Viz.:—the three named and Sunnysidc, nor did anything occur to shake the general opinion until between nine and ten o'clock at night,-100 to 70 was then laid several times on two agst the field, that is, Blaze with Fern or Flatcatcher, according to the fancy of the layers; the quarters in which the odds were taken led to a suspicion that there must still he something formidable in the field, and a few minutes removed all doubt on the sub ject. Glendower's name was all at once mentioned, and without much haggling, in the face, too, of the owner's declaration, that he had not quite made up his mince whether he should run or not, 4 to 1 was taken about him. Before the room closed he was firmly established at 3 to I, and his starting was a certainty. This un loiked-for move merit, of course, a ffected Blaze ; from evens he receded to 6 and 7 to 4, closing at 5 to 4, layers. 4 to 1 each was offered agst Fern and Flatcatcher, and 10 to 1 agst Sunnyside. Nothing was done to lead to a belief that Loadstone would put in an appearance. The Derby bets were 10 to 1 each agst Glendower and Springy Jack, 15 to 1 agst Eagle's Plume, 17 to 1 agst Loadstone, and 28 to 1 agst Fern. We should add, with reference to the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes, that in consequence of some insinua tions with regard to Blaze's age, a veterinary examina tion was ordered by the stewards, at the request, we believe, of Colonel Anson. It was quite satisfactory, his age being unhesitatingly ,pronounced to be only three years. We believe that Sunnyside passed through a similar ordeal with the like result. The arrivals thi:e morning by the early and special trains were numerous ; but owing, no doubt, to the wretched state of the weather, they fell considerably short of our expectations. Fortunately for those who were present, the showers during the race time were few and light, albeit the coldness of the wind made extra coats very acceptable. The card contained five races, its interest, however, centreing in the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes, for which five came to the post, including Glendower, but not Loadstone, who was scratched about halt-past twelve o'clock. The betting in the town, and on the course, was not by any means heavy, but; it improved. Glendower and Flatcatcher's positi on h a d the natural effect of driving Blaze back a trifle, Fern declined, and Sunnyside was priceless.

Six, —Yesterday's races came off much in the order I expected they would, to-day it is far otherwise; the most unexpected and extraordinary withdrawal of Loadstone from the 4 ,000 Guineas has caused a considerable sen sation in all quarters, save and except the aristocratic clique who figure as the proprietors of Blaze and Load stone, and who at the last moment withdrew their best unbacked horse, and by starting Blaze as the representa tive of this particular clique have dug a hole to bury their own interests in , which in my opinion they deserve, for not paying due consideration for the interests of the public. Flatcatcher's victory was not achieved without a con siderable taste of the spur, his performance though good was not good enough to warrant his present position in the odds for the Derby; it was with the utmost difficulty he could beat Glendower a neck; the latter I consider the best horse for the Derby, and at 20 to 1 ought to be backed. For the 1,000 Guineas a field of seven or eight are expected to go to the post, to be selected from the following:—Prairie Bird, Miss Orbell, Galata filly, Tippet, Vexation, Jest, Lola Mon tez, Attraction, 'leiter Skelter, Canezon, and Alpheia. The race will not be for a moment in doubt, Lola Montez with Nat up, Prairie Bird with Frank Butler or Marson, and the Galata filly will run in first, second, and third; further comment is not required. The Newmarket Stakes on Friday will most probably fall to the lot of Messrs. Payne or Watson. I am, Sir, yours, &c., SPIRIT OF THE TURF. Newmarket, Tuesday. COURT CIRCULAR. Yesterday was the birthday of her Royal Highness the Princess Alice. The auspicious event was cele brated at Osborne. The band of the 9th Regiment arrived in the morning, and performed a number of favourite pieces. The Queen and Prince Albert walked in the fore noon in the pleasure-grounds of Osborne; and her Royal Highness the Princess Alice, together with the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, and the Princess Royal, took airings in the walks and rides. The Viscountess Jocelyn , L ad y in Waiting to her 1 Majesty, took her departu re from Osborne y esterda y morning.

A spacious marquee, erected by the landlord of the Breakneck Arms, proved a g rest accommodation. The sports began by Vernon, of .13 ir wingham, who threw C. Retford, of Devon, twice, i n a style that elicited general admiration. Jeffrey, a, new arrival from Cornwall, then downed 1). Radford ( D.) in superior style. Trimblett (D.) and Paul (Sot Derset) played two spirited bouts, gaining one fall each, Trim blett finally hipping Paul in consummate style. Boy land (D.) and Higgins (I.) tried a long and scientific struggle, which ended in the Emeralder twice saluting the sod. Trimblett, sen. (1).) then disposed of C. Br ay (C.) after a most exciting display of skill and activity. Kemp (I).) and W. Thomas, another. Birmingham play yr, contested tor one hour and ten minutes, when Kemp gave his determined opponent a clean back fall. A pause was allowed this couple, and other players in ter ven, ed, night p u t t i ng an en d to the recreations. TUESDAY.—The second day began by J. Thomas (C.), and C. Eason (S.), when the latter was thrown clererly by the back heave, after forty minutes' severe strangle. Ayres (1 . ).) soon dow ne d Fl anagan (I.) with the Miter lock, which he repeated by the back heel, in a cot tple of minutes. Bartlett (C.) and Giftbrd (D ), two fine players, consumed forty-tive minutes in exhausting manteuvres, which closed by Bartlett flooring Gifford by a splendid heave. In the second bout, the youth of the Cornishman again told, and he sent his more aped opponent to mother earth by the inner lock. The pri:see will be fully played out to-day. Vernon, Thomas Eyres, Kemp, Trimblett, sen. and jun., and other first rate players, will be matched. A foot race of 440 yards was contested in the after noon, which was won by Jonathan Wild, Robinson, of Newton Moor, second; Jesson, third; Prince, fourth. NE W CASTLE. This sport, which is amongst the first—if not the first, of the kingdom—commenced on Monday. The place of meeting was a large green, at the Forth Banks, below the Infirmary. It was spacious, and competent to accommodate the immense crowd that had. assembled to witness the amusement. There could be no fewer than a thousand people present, a goodly proportion of whom had come by rail from Carlisle, Penrith, and other places in the west. The sporting world Was there in tull force, and seemed to back their respective favourites with much spirit. Halliwell, the winner of the 11 stone weights, is a thickset hearty-looking Englishman. Messrs. J. Thompson, of Allonby, and J. Jameson, of Newcastle, were the umpires, and Mr. J. Walker, of Keswick, referee, who conducted the proceedings with the utmost fairness and impartiality ; their conduct giving the fullest satisfaction. The first prize, of 251., for men of llst., produced 22 competitors, for whose names we have not space; suffice it to say, the 46 who stood were reduced in the secoad round to 23; the third round exhibited the following names 1 turd Round—C. Harrington and J. Nelson, T. Roper end J. Palmer, J. Iverstone and E. Little, A. Nicholson and T. Bowes, J. Whitehead and H. Bragg, J. James and I. Gibson, J. Byers and W. Bramwell, J. Halliwell and J. Elliott, W. Tyson and J. Renwick, W. Park and G. Marrough, J. Langhorn, odd man. Fourth Round—A. Nicholson and J. Langhorn, J. Halliwell and W. Tyson, T. Roper and C. Harrington, J. James and A. Park, J. Whitehead, and J. Iverstone, W. Palmer and J. Byers. Fifth round—T. Roper and A. Nicholson, W. Palmer and J. Whitehead, J. Halliwell and J. James. Sixth Round—J. Halliwell threw Roper, Palmer odd man. Seventh Round—The final struggle lay between He- liwell a n d P a l mer, the odd man. Halliwell threw his man twic e w i t h great ease, and won the prize, amid th• cheers of the multitude. Second Prize —A Standing Leap—The competitors were William Burnett, Alnwick; Robert Angus Maule, ditto; Thomas Roper, Lammerby; William Smith, Swindle; Alexander Jemison, soldier in the Dragoon Guards; William Stanley, Keswick; A. Macdonald, Keswick; and Tindle, Penrith. The prize was well contested, Roper beating the field, and jumping four feet eight inches. Burnett was second. The first round of the light -weights finished the sports of the day. TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION. Sir,—As the subject of the adjustment of taxation is exciting attention .here as well as at the gates of Paris, it is right to be making progress in the exami nation of the practical measures within reach, with an understanding that advantage shall be taken of such discoveries as in those other schools of learning may at any time arise. The objection made to taxing articles of consump tion by value and not by quantity, is that it is impoe sible to distinguish the different qualities, or to make the owners declare them. All excuses are good to the lazy, and still more to the unwilling. The temp , tation to raise a revenue by the summary method of extorting from the numerous and the weak, is too great to allow of the representations on this head being received without sifting. There is no doubt of its being vastly easier for a Govern ment to raise a given sum by such an organic zat ion. But inasmuch its the many have an interest in the other direction, and are moreover in a bever way of having their interest at tended to than they were three months ago, it is a season for asking whether all has been done that might he. For example, is there not a p r i nc i p l e ap plied in other bran c h es f the Customs, which 'night be usefully tried here ; —the giving a power to take the goods for the Government at the valuation set on them ? I remember this being applied to me, in the case of curiosities brought from Egypt; and why should it not be applied to tea ? It would imply inspection of the cargo by an officer ; for it clearly could not be done by sample. A lesson or two on this head would effectually teach the dealers to divide their teas into, at all events, three unmistakeable classes,—the ordinary, middling, and superior, on which duties of one, two, and three shillings might be laid, or otherwise as determined. There is no man who could not go into a tea-shop, and in a quarter of an hour make himself master of the mys tery. What is wanted is a will, and the want will continue till the people's will is taken into council. The difficulties in the way of allowing every man to deduct a given sum from his chargeable income, would be found of the same kind. Prodigious will be the outcries of impossibility, till the greater im possibility of leaving things as they are, acts as stimulus behind. At the same time the matter is not so easy as may look on paper ; and cannot finally be effected without some trouble to all parties. In the case of incomes under 1501. a year at present, there is necessity for a cumbrous process of declaration, which though it might perhaps be arranged so as to be more convenient than it is, must evidently be made at some time, and can be made at no time without trouble. 11 the Government finds a man in posses sion of 1401. a year from a particular source, as for instance the funds, it has no means of knowing ex cept by some subsequent process, that this is all he has; for a man may have income from a dozen diffe rent sources. The Government therefore would have to extend to all cases, something like the pre sent practice in these. It must in the first instance claim its three per cent. er as the case may be, from all incomes that come under its cognizance ; stopping it, as is at present done, in the cases of incomes from the funds and rents. And then it must leave the payer to make out his demand for the return of 41. 10s. from some or other of the offi ces that have received it, in a form akin to what is now used in the case of declarants to less than 150 i. a year in all ; accompanied with a statement of his various sources of income, for the purpose of facili tating discovery in the event of his claiming in more than nc mightase o be e t attempted bou ght i p r l s a u c d e s . thanre business one, For it has nothing to do with the absolute amount and i as fine simpler ne o f sthi of the income; it is a mere demand for the recovery of 41. 10s. Some complications might be necessary where the income was made up from a number of sources, no one of them producing 150/. ; but these forthese are nothing but what must have been providedsources not amounting to 150/.lp already, in the case of income fhrooml . various the csiderable one, must be An allowance, pe rha p s process making a charge on ea c h way to meet it would by but as this would virtually of the recovering parties; made for the expense'obte•thais of recovery.

In another letter 1 will endeavour to enter on the much contested question of the effect of an income tax on temporary incomes. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, T. PERRONET THOMPSON.

MEXICAN iRIVATEERS. — A letter from St. Do mingo, March 19th, says:—" The brig Harp, loading here for Liverpool, was chased off Mona Island, by two suspicious vessels, one a hertn, and the other a fall rigged brig. On the announcement of the fact to the Dominican Government, they fitted out two armed schooners, of 6 guns each, to go in quest of the two above-named vessels, and after having hued them out, declined sending them, affirming as an excuse, that they had received information that the two vessels were Mexican privateers." for INTELLIGENCE.—MAIDSTONE.—The last week of cold and wet weather has rendered the prospects of our hop plantations much more gloomy in every respect.
