TILE StN, LONDON, su bmit to such an insu lt, but return the fire, which he did effectually. I must say m Noble Friend has a and the subse- dverted to the f a ct of the two expeditions which were sent quent hostilities which occurred, and which necessitated the retirement of the troops. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH referred not to troops, but ships. The Earl of DERBY —My Noble Friend thinks the expe ditions were sent for hostile purposes. Now, I think the withdrawal of the ships would have given encouragement to the enemy. So far, however, from the expeditious contem a subsequent letter it was ex plating hostile objects , in pressly stated that Commodore Lambert had no instructions to ate hostilely—that he went to the governor, not for pur poses of war, but for peace. Commodore Lambert reported the proceedings to the Governor-General, and of course the Governor-General of India was sensible those ußfortunat transact i on s must lead to a critical state of thlngs, and that not a moment must be lost in taking thh n se precau tionsorder to which all will agree ought to be t e ak protect Moulmein and Arracan, and fur the r t ak en nomak e o rationspre- to go on with vigorous opearame sif u. a tter from the these preparations went on there l c Governor of Rangoon, subsequent lyofto le fth ithdrawal of the course which Commodore Lambert, complaining had been parsued, and ex p r e ssing his readiness to comply with the requisition which h ad been made. The Governor- General, without suspehding military proceedings, after collecting five native regiments and two other regiments, with artillery, sent ro serveo Bombay for the steam force ay to show the state of efficiency there ; and .Indian navy is kept, that the force was in which thisi dispatched within five da 's after the requisition ; and then, in order to prevent the 3 renewal of hostilities, and at the same time not to supersede Commodore Lambert, charged Commodore Lambert to proceed to Rangoon, and on com p iance with the original demands, and on the governor ex rhlressing regret at the insults which had been given, to re store the ship, to raise the blockade, and to enter into terms of amity with the Burmese. I think my Noble Friend will admit that the Governor- General of India could hardly have taken a more conciliatory course in order to avoid the calamity of war. Commodore Lambert, on arriving at the- place, found it necessary to have his vessel (the Fox) towed by a steamer up the river, to enable him to deliver his message, and, in order to prove the pacific character o(his mission, he, in going up the river ordered the guns not to be loaded, and the tompions to be kept in the guns. When fired upon by the Burmese from a stockade, he returned the fire, and in less than three minutes the stockade was silenced. Commodore Lambert proceeded on and delivered his message. The answer given.waa one which evaded:all compliance with the original claims, which introduced new features and new de mands into the- negotiations, and which required that the negotiations should be removed from Rangoon to Mastobar. On the receipt ot this answer dispatches were sent to the Go vernor-General, and the Governor-General in council. with she unanimous acquiesceune ee it,e council, decided that no time should. be lost in trifling, hut that without further delay a blow should be struck, which it was hoped would serve to render needless further hostilities against the Burmese empire. With the sanction of the council the Go vernor-General determined to proceed with his preparations, and to dispatch a force to the scene of operations. The Go vernor-General did not even then relax his endeavours to come to terms with the Bing of Ave, for, simultaneously with the expedition, he seat further communications to the effect, that. if the King of Ava, would express regret for what had occurred—if the original conditions were complied with, and if the sum demanded, with a considerable addition for the expenses of the recent operations, were given, hostilities should be suspended, and peace restored. The Governor- General of lodic was aware of the inconvenience and danger of protracting .hostilities during the rainy season, and I think I. may confidently assure my Noble Friend there is no further intention on the Governor-General's part than this—to dispatch such an expedition as will serve to strike a blow on Rangoon and Mastobar without delay, at the same time so exhibiting the efficiency of the preparations, as to lead to the restoration of peace on terms honourable to thhßritish Government, andeto supersede the necessity of a continuous occupation-or annexation of territory. If these steps be not successful, before the rainy season sets in, in inducing the Burmese authorities to agree to make submis sion and to sue for peace, it will then be for the Governor- General of India to consider what it is his duty to do. But, thy Lords, I have hope that the terms agreed upon will be acceded to—if they should not, lam sure the Governor- General of-India will not neglect those steps which he may be called upon to take for the maintenance of the dignity of the empireand the honour of the British army. The Governor-General of India is I believe quite as anxious as my Noble Friend, and as her Majesty's Government to avoid war, and to avoid what I should consider a misfortune—the complete annexation of the Burmese empire to our ter ritories.—( Hear, hear.) If the Noble Lord desires copies or extracts relative to the war with Ava, I can have no hesita tion in producing the papers, if the Noble Lord will alter his motion in a trifling degree. The papers, I feel confident, will satisfy the House that while no undue responsibility rests on the Governor-General with reference to this war, that ha has done all in his power, consistently with the dig nity of the country, to avoid resorting to extremities and to avoid hostilities.—(Cheers.) The Earl of ELLEN BOROUGH concurred in the re marks of the Noble Earl, that where the dignity of the Crown or the safety of our empire made it necessary to resort to war, that war ought to take place. He begged to move for the papers, conformable to the Noble Earl's suggestion. The motion was then agreed to. FOREIGN REFUGEES ANTh BRITISH TRAVELLERS. Lord BEAUMONT -said -that he should not have thought it necessary or advisable to call attention to the subject on which he was going to address their Lordships if the papers which were laid on the table were not calculated to lead to the impression that the policy which had been pursued heretofore with regard to those persons who were obliged to seek a refuge on our shores was about to be changed. He trusted that that impression was false, and that there was no intention to abandon the principles which were so ably laid down in the dispatch ot his Noble Friend (Earl Granville), and which were acted upon by him and by his predecessor in office. He trusted that her Majesty's pre sent Government were not going to act the spy ; to play the eaves-dropper, and to dog by the heels those unfortunate refugees who were compelled to seek an asylum in this country. Such conduct on the part of her Majesty's Go vernment would make the right of asylum of this country a mere mcckery, and would render a residence here as painful to these individuals as it could be in their own. Whatever might be the opinions of the Government respecting universal suffrage and the domestic policy of the country, he hoped they were not going to abandon those which distinguished Eng land amongst the other countries of Europe. He maintained that it was for the interests of foreign Governments that these refugees should have a right to asylum here, for if this country and America had refused the right of asylum, these foreign Governments would not know how to deal with the multitude of refugees. They might be mischievous at home, but they were lost in the multitudinous society of this country. If they remained at home the police and the army would have to be augmented, and the gaols would be crowded ; here they were perfectly harmless, and _could do nothing. Yet the Government of this country was asked to exercise a surveillance and to keep up a system of espionage on those individuals. That was not necessary. In this free country the press gave intelligence of all their movements, and in the memoranda contained in the papers before him there was nothing which had not appeared over anet over again in the newspapers. In the remarks he was about to make he excepted Prussia and France, because Prussia withdrew her circular, and France expressed her in dignalon at being classed with the ot her p owers. In the A dispat c h of his Neble Friend the true principles were laid down which should guide this country in its conduct to wards refuges. The Noble Lord having read the dispatch of Earl Granville, propose went so far as to p ro ceeded to say that if these refugees tive Governmen ts, to -take active . to levy war against their respec sttietpewould become the duty of this country with such preparations. G o vernmen ts complained to B prevent them from proceeding Bat these that the refugees wer e W hy , of course they were conspiring.

But of Hungary, and this he was cony need, that the least dang erou s N'thich tnwryaos.f those conspiracies was that which existecl the Govern ment tar more formidable conspiracy carried on concealed, and which might sur prise ment unaware , . In 1831 such a conspiracy e m xisted in the Papal states, and it was successful for a ti hoped that the dispatch of his Noble Friend would h U a e had the last on this subject. On the 4th of February, howe ver, a dispatch was sent from the Austrian Government, wa w a % must have created surprise and regret even on thlee'eee theie who were most frrendly to that Government.— heir. ) In that dispatch the Austrian Government declarared they were not satisfied with the statements of his Nobl e Friend, and that they, would avenge themselves for not;obtain lag satisfaction by taking severe measures against those un fortunate Englishmen who happened to be travelling in the Austrian dominions. Now he did not mean in the least to dispute the right of Austria to make such general regula tions with regard to passports as she thought the internal security and tranquillity of her dominions required. But it seemed to him that she designed to single out par ticular cases as objects for extreme persecution. On the sth of March, however, there was another dispatch from the Austrian Government, signed by Prince Schwarz enberg, in which he stated that the Imperial Cabinet had received with genuine satisfaction the intelligence of the formation of a new Government in this country. Prince Schwarzenberg then proceeded to analyse the speech which the Noble Earl opposite delivered on the 27th February, and from it he drew the inference that there was to be a change in the foreign 'policy of the new Government. The Noble Earl certainly laboured under the disadvantage of not being always understood--(Langhter)—and even when he under .stood an explanation of a former speech, the explanation seemed to make things still less intelligible than before.— (Hear ' hear, and laughter.) Th a t m ight be the case with r egard to the speech of the Noble Lord to which Prince Schwarzenberg referred, but to him (Lord Beaumont) the Noble Earl seemed to say nothing but that the law would be hie•gnide, and that lie would not even strain the law.— (4 , Hear," from the Earl of Derby.) ' The Austrian Govern ment, then, either drew an erroneous inference from the speec h of the Noble Earl, or sotnething pain e d between the two Governments which did not appear in these papers. The Noble Earl opposite (Earl of Malmesbury) replied to this communication of the Austrian Government en the 15th of March. The Noble Earl stated that her Ma j e sty's Govern ment had receive d with " the liveliest pleasure" this dis patch of Prince Schwarzenberg; and he went on to say that eit afforded the greater satisfaction to her Majesty's Government, because, without reference to the past— ("Hear, hear," from the Earl of Derby)—it lays the foundation of a renewed go o d un derstanding between the two countries." Now, he (Lord Beaumont) thought there ought to be a " reference to-th e a p st," because t he dis p atch of the 4th of tremel Februaryremain: that it ought eith er to be withdrawn, or a in the Foreignsoffice, and it was so ex each y offensive , an explanati on of it given as would be satisfactory to the Government of this country.

They were at length turned out imm ensea o c u - hundreds of miles, to the serious injury of the health of several o f the family. A similar hardship had been in flicted on Mr. Edwards, who, with his wife, had suffered very much. He made great allowance for the seveforcerity necessa ry in Austria, believing that i f the police were relaxed, the present Government would be in danger. The fact was, the Government was hated all over the em pire, and not much loved in Vienna extraordinary measures were therefore necessary to maintain it . But the prosecu tion of an innocent man like this was nothing more than petty revenge. In conclusion he would ask the Noble Lord opposite if he was prepared to give any papers to explain this transaction. He also called on him to state whether the Government was prepared to abide the policy that had al ways been pursued with regard to refugees or to do that which was contrary to justice and derogatory to the honour of the nation. He moved for the correspondence regarding the expulsion of Mr. Wingrove. The Earl of MALMESBURY said he should try to profit by the lecture of the Noble Lord; but it did not quite follow, when a statement was made and not understood, that the reason of its not being understood lay with the person who made it.—(Hear, hear.) The Noble Lord bad asked a question the other night about the arrest of an English mechanic in Austria. The facts of the case were these. Sir Stratford Canning had employed a man to do some work, and on his wishing to return to England, had supplied him with a passport, and confided some dispatches to his care. The man, dressed as an artisan, and not travelling as couriers usually travel, was arrested by the police, on suspicion of being identical with a man who had robbed some one of 1,6001. in banknotes. He was detained and searched ; but as soon as he was taken to the man who had lost the money he was liberated. The Noble Lord opposite (Granville) had remonstrated with the Austrian Government. They had explained the matter, and sent an order for the punishment of the policeman. He (Lord Malmesbury) re , gretted any misfortune of that kind to an Englishman tra velling in a foreign country ; but this could not be attributed to any feeling of revenge, for it happened two months before the dispatch in question was written. This was a thing which might have happened in any, even the freest country. His own French cook had been arrested by a policeman in the free town of Glasgow (as was understood), exposed to the hootings of the people, and kept for two hours at the police-station ; he was then released, and very civilly told by the magistrate that the officer had served him right, he was such a queer-looking man.—( Hear hear, and laugh ter. Male owned he thought the case Of Mr. Wingroye was one of great hardship. He was a harmless, conscientious man; and the Austrian Government could not be too much eiameo, it uob rse their want of toleration, at least for not giving these men sufficient time to collect their goods and quit the country at their convenience.—(Hear, hear.) Still he thought the statement which had been read by the Noble Lord opposite was not the sort of statement which would have been made by such a good and religious man as Mr. Wiugrove. In opposition to this he would read the statement of Mr. Grey, the Consul at Perth. He stated that the ex pulsion took place during. the month of January— month before that threatening dispatch to which the Noble Lord had alluded. He added that Mr. Wingrove and Mr. Smith had been requested to send in a written statement of their case to the Chancellerie ; but, instead of doing so, they appeared there in person, after an interval of 10 days. They desired to be allowed to travel by easy stages; leave for this was granted, and instructions to that effect were given to the police. He (Lord Malmesbury) was sorry to find that at a public meeting held in Scotland, a clergyman had made the same statement as had been made by the Noble Lord, and had charged Lord Westmoreland with behaving with the greatest negligence. Such statements ought not to be made, when the parties were not prepared to substantiate them. As to the general observations of his Noble Friend on the correspondence that had taken place with the Aus trian Government, he would say that he blamed no man for entertaining apprehensions and suspicions about our foreign policy, when it had been so lately in the hands of a man so far superior to himself. He might justly expect such apprehensions to be entertained. When he was named by her Majesty to fill the plan he now held, he knew well that it was to no merit of his own that he ewed that honour, but to the partiality of an old and valued friend (Lord Derby), and to the confidence which her Majesty placed in his recommendation. He knew he should be totally wanting in experience of the mode of carrying ton the poli tical matters of this country. He had never held office ; he had never asked for office; was perfectly inexperienced in the routine of business in all respects. He had but one re collection, which inspired him with some encouragement — that he had had the education of an English gentleman, the first principle of which was, and he hoped ever would be, that the dignity of the Crown and the honour of his coun try was to every consideration paramount.—(Hear, hear.) If he required any other e ncouragement, he found it in recollectin g that his Noble Friend opposite (Lori Granville), his junior in years, and almost as inexperienced as himself in that particular office, had, in the short time he had held it, inspired the utmost: confidence in all those with whom he had been in communication, and had left a name behind him such as he (Lord Malmesbury) should be proud to leave.—(Hear, hear.) If personal mahce or party spite were to invent the worst calumny against him that could be uttered, it would be that on this question of foreign refugees he did not hold entirely the opinions that had been expressed in the dispatch of his Noble Friend opposite.— (Cheers.) lie could conceive the pleasure of a refugee on reaching the soes of land; bt it was not greater than that whichhr Eng every Englishman felt in knowing that his country afforded an asylum for those persons.—(Hear.) As long as he had the honour of being in the Government, and managing foreign affairs, he declared that, from ne country in Europe, or in any other part of the world, would he consent to receive a demand to change those laws which regulated our treatment of refugees. He would not answer such demands by any rhetorical writing, or by any epigrammatic dispatch, because he did not think the purpose of diplomacy was anything but conciliation; but he would answer thew, though in a conciliatory spirit, as the first Barons who sat in that House had answered their So vereign—Nolumus Anglia leges mutari.— (Cheers.) He would add, in the sense and in the principle of the policy laid down by his Noble Friend near him (Lord Derby), that the same law which would be inexorably maintained in fa vour of the refugees, would as inexorably punish them if they brought their proceedings into such a shape as to break that law —(Hear, hear.) But he must contend that there was nothing in the correspondence before their Lordships to justify the suspicions which had been expressed of the Go vernment by the Noble Baron opposite. The Noble Lord had more than insinuated that some secret understanding had been entered into between her Majesty's Ministers and the Austrian Government, which had induced Prince Schwartzenberg to write the dis patch that had been referred to. This he totally denied.— ( Hear.) It was entirely without foundation. Not only had no such communication taken place, he believed such a thing had never entered the imagination of any of her Majesty's Ministers. Had the Noble Lord looked at the dates of the dispatches, he would have seen that it was almost physically impossible for any such communication to be made, so as to permit Prince Schwartzenberg to write his dispatch of the sth as a consequence of that communication. When his Noble Friend (Lord Derby) had made the state ment he had done in reference to our foreign relations, not a peer in that House had risen to allude to the subject. A great deal bad been said about free trade and domestic affairs generally, but not a word as to our foreign policy, not even by the Noble Lord (Beaumont) opposite. Perhaps the Noble Lord was satisfied with the statement. If so, he was in the same situation with Prince Schwartzenberg, though he had not expressed that satisfaction. He (Lord Malmesbury), on receiving that dispatch from Prince Schwartzenberg, could not do less than express his gratification at the sen timents expressed by the Austrian Minister.—(Hear, hear.) It had been said that Austria was not our oldest ally, but that that honour belonged to Portugal. He believed that this was a mistake. The first treaty with Austria was as early as 1202 ; that with Portugal was in 1386. This was no sort of consequence, only it proved that these dispatches had been pretty well sifted.— (Hear, hear.) With reference to his own dispatch, he must say that there was nothing so strong in his expressions as to warrant the suspicion that he was about to destroy the liberties of his country, or even those of the refugees. It was nothing more than acivil answer to a civil dispatch.—( Hear.) He agreed in every part of the statement of his oble Friend (Lord Derby), and should do all in his power to give effect to the principles there enunciated. Earl GRANVILLE said there appeared to be a general concurrence amongst public men of all parties as to the had laid down r efused January with regard to principles be refu g ees, While thi s country to limit the hospi tality it extended to those persons, or to take from other countries the definition of crimes, it recognised the duty of suppressing all overt attempts against the liberties of other countries. —( Hear, hear.) It had been asked why he s uf f ered six weeks to elapse before answering the dispatch of Prince Schwartzenberg, and why the last communication, received immediately prior to the resignation of the late hiin to last note that Government, had been returned, and not handed over by Lord said ht the matter one which Noble Lo hie successor?

Under ordinary c i rcums t a nces we would still find the progressive im provement that has been so remarkable since R O WLAND HILL was allowed t o carr y o ut his en larged and comprehensive vie ws , t h e t ra diti ons of the Ptcontrary n o twi thstand i ng . wln the C o the Lands ther e h as b een an i nc r e ase of 30,000/. on the year (the t o t a l amoun t collected b e ing 190,0001.), and of 4 0,0001. on t h e qua rt e r. rtonA few years since the a nnua l pro d uce w as only °c 100,0001., which has been nearly doubled ; we shall look forward to a net produce of at least half a million under this head, and which might easily be obtained with anything like judicious management. In the Miscellaneous there is an increase of 39,4341. on the year, and of 1 9,759/. on the quarter. On the whole the statement is exceedingly satisfactory, and our feelings of pleasure are not diminished by considering that the present surplus is 3,093,1821. against 2,779,679/., showing an im provement of 313,5031., which is made up of saving to the extent of 192,575/., the charge in the April quarter of last year being 8,300,4731., and only 8,107,898/. during the past quarter, and the cash ba lance at the Exchequer being 120,9881. more than last year, viz., 11,201,080/, on the sth April this year, and 11,080,0921, on the same day in 1851. , England has so long afforded protection to the political refugees from the continent, that it would be matter for very serious regret if these hospitali ties were henceforth refused by the British Govern ment. Under the aegis of her free and magnanimous Constitution sh e h as sheltere d th e ou t cas t s o f other nations without re g ard to cree d o r col our , roya li sts and republicans, despots and demagogues, patriots and peculators. Her generosity in this parti cular has become indeed so renowned and re markable that the annalists of Europe have for a considerable time past referred to this island as to the Ararat of Freedom in the midst of the Deluge of Revolutions. Perhaps the very noblest illustration that could by possibility be pro duced, to indicate the benign consequences of the' liberty consolidated by our institutions, would be a history of the more celebrated personages who have fled to our shores since the first rising, in 1789, of the genius of French Democracy. Among those remarkable fugitives would, of course, be discovered . the guilty as well as the in nocent the expiators of atrocity as welt as the victims of misfortune. It has happened before now that the dipeeme•Jed potentate has been jostled in Megdilly by the regicide, and that the same public conveyance has borne among the land scapes of England the dethroned monarch and the author of his dethrcnement. From Lows LE DESIRE to Louis PHILIPPE the narrative is only varied by diversity of character. From DAMouaIEz to ESPARTERO the story continues the same i n principle, varied only by the different aspect of the careers thus interrupted. And among the whole of these wonderful evidences of the vicis situdes of fortune, there is happily but a single blot on the national escutcheon. Damnatory that blot is without question, and unfort unately impossible alto • getherto obliterate, but it is still the solitary excep tion in these successive tokens of . magnanim..y it Were anything required to show beyond the chance of denial the reasonableness of our exulta tion this head, it Would merely be necessaryto comment upon the persons who are at present enjoying, or who hav e until very recently enjoyed, in this country the blessi ngs of an inestima ble refuge from calamity.

Besides these there have been, 11-and there still are amongst us,' l uxur i at i ng i n thi s moo, 'who lik e M. Louis BLANC and M. Liner e il,, -41 ' 4 , have on the side of republicanism, and agai nst the minions of royalty, beneficent tranquillity, raised the standard of revolution. It were idle, how ever, to particularise more of those well-known instances in which England has of late extended her sheltering arms alike over the political criminal and the political unf or t unate. Her• generosity in this regard has not b een very recently recognised, neither has its appreci at i on been either partial or indifferent. Respected for this reason among the e • here dearest e Christendom, she is, for a similar cause, honoured by h own children, who behold, in thi s particular, 't amon g the privileges afforded t o them by the influence of ' eur with' peculiar aatisfantion- 'that 'we revered and' mag nan iM ous Constitution.

APRIL 6, 1852. THE QUARTER'S REVENUE The Revenue Returns for the financial year and quarter, ending the sth April instant, have been publlebctl iu duo course, and will be found in soother part of this day's impression. They are of an ex ceedingly satisfactory character, and afford additional proofs of the accuracy of the old financial paradox— that as in fiscal tddition two and two will not amount to four, so in fiscal subtraction two being taken from four will leave a residue exceeding two. They also show the auspicious results of the free-trade policy, on which the country is shortly to record its verdict. We have of ten spoken of the wonderful elas ticity of the national resources. We find that a consi derable reduction on a particular item is nearly, if not altogether,compensated by a vastly increased consump tion, while even in cases where the charge is alto gether abolished, we find that something like an equivalent springs up in other directions. The most enthusiastic fiscal reformer may gather additional courage from the array of figures now presented, as affording encouragement to the boldest experiments. Where none have hitherto proved failures, it will re quire but little persuasion to induce us to advance in the same direction. On the first view, the matters do not ap pear to be so perfectly satisfactory as they will be found on close examination and an attentive consideration of the circumstances of the case. It is true that there is an improvement of 102,540/. on the quarter, but there is a deficiency on the year of 707,5581. The former shows that whatever losses there may have been, have already been recovered, but the latter speaks of such losses, and we must clearly and distinctly ascertain their nature before we can express unqualified pleasure at the results. The first point worthy of notice is, that although the improvement on the quarter is only 102,5401., the actual increase in the ordinary re venue is no less , than 277,164/., which is reduced by 174,6241. in consequence of the de crease of the • casual revenue under the following heads, viz., imprest and other monies, 121,3241., and repayments of advances, 53,3001. These are, however, of but little real im portance beyond the sums actually coccerned, so that the improvement of permanent income may be looked upon as 277,1641., and not 102,5401. only. Again, in like manner ? the actual decrease on the year on the ordinary items is but 568,708/., there being a de ficiency under the head of " imprest and other mo nies" of 129,367/., and of repayments of advances of 9,483/. The matter is thus far better than it looks on a mere common-place inspection, and without, in any degree, entering into the causes by which it has been produced. When, however, we look to the sub- stitution of the house tax for the window tax, and the reductions in the duties on coffee, sugar, and timber, that came into operation within the past year, and also the repeal of the duty on bricks, and the reductions on stamps and sugar during the pre ceding'. ' to unqualified nearly 3,400, 000 L, ing. express in the w . h o o u l ; year — amoun t ing ` may j ustly amoun t gra tification at the almost' miraculous result. We shall now l ook to the p articular items. On the Customs , showing the ,condition of our foreign trade, f 66,7591. ; and this , notwithstanding the quarter 0 alluded to on coffee,"sugar, and there is an increa se on the, yeai of 97,266 L, and on the reductions above timber ; what is money, and we have thus had I'ar more value for our has been paid for, not by the exportation of bullion, the produce of the labours but by our man factures, of the industrious classes. Agai n , i n the E xc i se we find in like manner an im p r ovement on the e ar and quarter , on the former of 57,6741. , on the latter o f 89,528 L Thi s, however, y does not show the real extent of the increase in that which bas been justly considered the i ndex to the prosperity of the working classes—the labouring population of th e country. +l, In Stam ps the deficiency on the year has b een 203 ' 9981 1 had on th e quarter 32,0231. We must, however, bear in mind the reductions—or rather the modifications—effected in 1850, which were esti mated to lead to a loss of more than half a million per annum. We cannot, th ere f ore, com plain when we find the actual defi c i ency less by more than 50113001 than was calculated on. In the Assessed Taxes there is 'a deficiency on the year of 659,5051., which m a y eas il y by the abolition of the i n f aMQUS tax on light an d a i r , which far exceeded the amount of the inhabited which was gra n t e d in house duty,be accounted for lieu thereof' Wel TUESDAY EVENING, THE S •isturz: Railways.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 5,000 bales, all to the trade. The market closed heavily without alteration in prices.

Further letters and papers have been received from Port Philip direct to the beginning of November, and these sup ply intermediate information of great interest respecting the gold diggings. From Geelong it is stated :—" The im portance of the gold question hardly needs a preface to in troduce it. Gold henceforth must be ranked as one of the moat important items of Geelong exports. Lie discovery of prolific and extensive yields of the precious metal is fraught with the deepest importance, to all classes of the community, and has introduced a new source of riches, which is daily pouring. upon us in unexpected and unexampled profusion. The close contiguity of Geelong to this source of wealth naturally indicates the point which must become the entre pot of commerce hi this valuable commodity. " Gold has greatly fluctuated in price during the past week. The lowest price given was 21. 17s. 3d., but the last two days has witnessed a marked improvement; large quantities have been purchased at 21. 195., and some good clean samples at 60s. The ruling price may be quoted now at 21. 195.. at which figure any quantity will meet with ready purchasers. 44 The yield of the Ballarat gold field is still prolific, and arrivals of the precious metal continue without abatement. From the new diggings on Clark's station, satisfactory re ports reached us yesterday, but as the workings are con fined to surface washings, it would be premature to pro nounce confidently until further proofs be forthcoming. The Marabool diggings are much spoken of, but in the absence of decisive information, a curt notice of them will suffice." The Goulburn Herald says— "lt is impossible for those who are acquainted with the actual condition of the districte where gold has not been found, to pictuie the far-spreading distress which is gradually developing itself. Labour is withdrawing from the rural parts, and that which remains has consequently a double claim for increased wages. The towns and villages are be coming gradually and perceptibly . depopulated; trade is rapidly waning; and poverty is creeping in where it was never known before. Nothing can stop this retrogression except the local discovery of gold. That ; such is practicable is beyond a doubt. 'There is not a district in this 'vast colony but exhibits all the• indications of its abundant presence : the history of the last few months exhibits ample proofs of its equable distribution —from Moreton Bay to the Snowy Mountains ; from the Lower Shoal-haven to the banks of the Yarra, and stretching westward to the meadow lands of Ballarat and the Grampians " Science and industry are alone required to universalize the advantages of the gold discovery ; and by universalizing them they will acquire an additional value, inasmuch as by the process by which all districts are made partakers of the benefits, new fields of wealth will be opened up and unknown riches developed." Of the Mount Alexander discoveries, it is said : " A Mr. Leete called at our office on Monday night, and kindly communicated that he bad just arrived in town from Mount Alexander, bringing with him 250 ounces of gold, which he and four others had obtained in the short space of one week. He had 61 1 4 ounces with him, which, on in spection, we found to be precisely similar to that obtained at Ballarat, with this slight difference, that none of the par ticles were smaller than the head of a pin, and gradually ascending to nuggets of about the size of a Turkey bean. Mr. Crate was in the office at the time, and pronounced the sample to be equal in quality to the Ballarat, being obviously also an alluvial deposit, and not mixed with quartz, as has been generally supposed was the character of the gold ob tained at this place. Mr. Leete states that the gold is found in the bed of an almost dry creek at the bottom of the Mount Macedon Ranges, which extends for several miles in the direction of Barker's Creek. ";There are about two hundred:miners:now employed at these diggings, and he met about two hundred more proceeding thither, on his road to Melbourne. Spades are selling at 205., and picks at 30s. each ; Mr. Leete would therefore re commend intending miners to take these and all other ne cessary supplies with them. Their hole has only yet been excavated to the depth of three feet, and the further they go down, the richer seems to be the auriferou s d epos it." The Committee of Mexiaan Bondholders have received ad vices from Mexico, dated the 6th ult. The Bill for farming out six items of the Customs' revenues, in two of which the bondholders are interested, has been sent to Congress. It is proposed that the revenues should be offered by public auction, at an upset price of 7,000,000 dollars annual rent, and adjudged to the highest bidder for three, five, or seven years • the contract being determinable at each of these periods at the option of the Government.

The following is an additional communication from the Committee of Spanish American Bondholders concerning the Venezuelan debt. The second West Indian mail of this morning brought the committee another letter from Mr. Lord, dated "La Guayra, March 9th, 1852," saying : " With reftrence to my last of 26th ult., I now beg leave to wait upon the committee with the enclosed copy of a dispatch of the Finance Minister, dated yesterday, that 'had Just reached me.

OLD COURT. (Before the RECORDER.) PERJURY. —John Stowell, Thomas Stowell, and George Gar nett were indicted for conspiring' to defraud Mr. Kennett, a publican, and for perjury. The prisoners pleaded not guilty. Mr. Parry (with whom was Mr. 1VooIlett) conducted th• case for the prosecution, and Mr. Ballantine (with whom was Mr. Huddlestone) defended the prisoners. Mr. PARRY having opened the case to the jury, stating that the perjury and conspiracy arose out of an action which the two first defendants brought against Mr. Kennett in the county court, and suing to recover a sum of money which had been previously paid, he proceeded to call several witnesses; from whose evidence it appeared that on the 12th of De cember last Thomas Stowell summoned the prosecutor in the Lambeth County Court for 31/. 10s., and the two other prisoners gave evidence in support of the claim, although they well knew the account to which the action referred had long pre viously been settled. The County Court gave a verdict for the prosecutor, and the plaintiff immediately absconded. A reward was offered, however, for his apprehension, and the prosecutor ultimately paid 151. to a man who disclosed the retreat of Thomas Stowell, when the present indictment was preferred against the three defendants. The case was proceeding when our report left, and wan' likely to last the whole of the day. NEW COURT.

[BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.] PLYMOUTH, TUESDAY MORNING. The Propontis mail-packet, which left the Cape on the 3d of March has just arrived. On the frontier the Gover nor's call for the burgher's levy was a failure; and although there were some expectations of the receipt of intelligence at head-quarters, on the Bth of March, of the success of , General Somerset's patrol, yet the appointment of a noir governor was likely to induce Sir Harry Smith to confine his efforts to the most simple operations. — Neither the steam-frigate Megmra, with the rifle corps , (60th), nor the Hydra, with General Cathcart, had arrived. Th e Hydra left Sierra Leone for th e C ape on the 2d of March. Davison, surgeon of the 43d, has been waylaid and killed by the Kafirs when ;on escort. Four hundred of the British troops were in hospital at King William's Town.
