The discussion on the great question of the in come-tax engrossed the attention of the House of Commons last night, and the debate has been again adjourned until Monday. It is by no means sur prising that the several Members should be anxious to explain their views on a topic of the most vital importance to the community in general, and on which the public feeling is so much excited at the present moment. The point now before the House for its decision is, nominally, whether the tax is to be continued in its present form for one or three years ; but the real issue, is, whether it shall be equitably and fairly adjusted, so as to press with an equal weight upon the various classes of contributors, or whether the iniquitous and inquisitorial system shall be perpetuated with all its defects and enormities. The country is not opposed to the principle of direct taxation. Perhaps it is the most expedient mode of levying the whole or the greater portion of the na fional income, as it is undoubtedly the most equit able. A larger proportion of the sums extracted from the pockets of the people will find its way into the Exchequer than from any other source of revenue. The consumers, upon whom the whole amount of any species of indirect taxation must ultimately fall, do not merely pay the five-and.a.half per cent. which the collection of the Custom duties cost, in addition to the nett proceeds carried to the credit of the country, or the six-and-a-quarter per cent. for the collection of the Excise, but also a profit varying from ten to twenty per cent. which every person dealing in such articles expects to make on the amount of his outlay, and, as it may fairly be assumed, that every article passes through at least four or five hands from the time of its being imported or manufactured before it is consumed, it is not too much to say that fifty per cent. is paid by the people more than is applicable to public purposes. There—is no such addition to direct taxation —the only deduction is the three-and a-half per cent. fur the collection, which amount would be materially diminished if a larger amount were levied, as the same machinery would answer that is now required for the collection of the smaller sum. The thirty millions now obt a i ne d un d er the heads of Custbras and Excisd practically cost the >.-...,_ 7, THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY !EVENING, MARCH 11, 1848. nation at least forty-five millions, while the same amount might he obtained to the Treasury by direct taxation for less than thirty. one millions. In this manner a saving of no less than fourteen millions per annum might at once be effected. The gross injustice of the ;present system has, however, disgusted the nation. If it should be con tinued for three years without some well-founded hope of amendment, the entire tax must be repealed, and some, perhaps, more objectionable and burdensome adopted in its place. The Hon. Member for West bury fully expressed the feelings of the country when he stated that "the existing inequality was the whole objection of many gentlemen, who otherwise approved of a system of direct taxation, and that out of doors, in the large commercial constituencies, the pro posal would have been received with approbation if this one ground of cavil had been removed." It is absurd to say that this inequality cannot be recti fied. In every return of income the various sources from whence it is derived are specified and set forth in detail. In many instances where it is payable out of realised property, it is deducted before the party en titled thereto receives the balance. But even if the person chargeable had himself to pay the entire amount to the collector, it would be perfectly easy to charge each portion at a different per-centage. Let us suppose a person engaged in some trade or profession, and also possessed of landed estate and funded property, of which he was the absolute master, and also of other property in which he had a limited estate, either for life or a term of years. A small sum might be levied upon the profits derived from his skill and labour, which entirely depends upon the maintenance of his health and various other contingencies. A large proportion should be paid out of that in which he had a limited estate, and which might be estimated, according to the sum that should be deducted or suffered to accumulate, in order to render that estate permanent, or to give an equiva lent on its termination, while that of which he was the absolute master should be charged at the highest rate. It has been attempted to justify the present mode because, it is said, that the tax on incomes was intended as a substitute for the Customs and other duties that have been repealed, and of which the professional man who earns his income by his own industry receives the benefit as fully as the persons possessed of accumulated and realised property ; but it was optional on every person to decide what amount he would expend, and what he would lay by as a future provision for his family, or for the period when he himself should no longer be able to labour in his vocation. Ile must, indeed, have been very imprudent if he did not invest a considerable portion of his earning 3 for such purposes, either in the ordinary mode of saving, and keeping the amount at his dis posal, or by insuring his life. In either case he could not expend' anything like the amount of his entire income, and a certain portion (that which was laid by as capital) was exempted from any contribu tion to the indirect taxation, and it should also be exempted from that which is imposed as a substi tute therefor. This principle was formerly recog nised by Mr. PITT, and why should it be disregarded by those who lavish praises on his financial policy ? On the Gth instant the first National Representative Chamber ever assembled in Prussia since the day when that kingdom was declared to be a constitu tional sovereignty, was prorogued. On the 20th inst. the first National Representative Chamber assem bled under the new Republican Government of France, will be opened by the Provisional Dictators of that country. The contrast afforded by these two occurrences—occurrences sufficiently remarkable of themselves to render the March of 1843 for ever worthy of remembrance—is not more extraordinary than the consideration that they are both tending directly towards the same end—the glorious goal of the popular advancement. In Berlin it was the Mo- NARCH who took the initiative in the furtherance of this momentous movement. In Paris it was the population. In the former instance the throne was girt by the most indestructible of all the bulwarks of royalty—the bulwarks of a nation's love, the affec tions of an entire race, the devotion and gratitude of many millions. In the latter, the throne was borne triumphantly on the shoulders of the rabble to the measure of the hymn of Democracy—the KING was expatriated—aristocracy, theocracy, and despotism were for ever and for ever dissevered from the State —the people themselves were raised on the buckler of circumstances, and crowned with the golden diadem of Victory. It is impossible to throw a glance of retrospection at the inaugurative session of the Representative Legislature of Prussia without rejoicing that the beautiful dream of FREDERICK Wseneese IV. has been realised, and that the Members of that Germanic Senate have throughout deliberated with a quietude worthy of their dignity, and with a wisdom worthy of their fatherland. On the other hand, it is im possible to take an anticipative survey of the approaching assemblage of legislators in the me tropolis of Republican France without feelings of excessive anxiety and trepidation. If we re quired any official declarations to justify these very opposing sentiments, such declarations have already appeared. In taking farewell of his loyal and patriotic Diet, his Majesty the Sovereign of Paussse thus pronounces his recommendations : " Return," cries the King, " with God for your guide, into our provinces and our cities, as messen gers of peace, of union, and of strength. Providence has caused events to transpire which threatened to shake social order to its foundations. Gerenan hearts, Prussians, men animated with sentiments of honour and of loyalty, know what sacred duties ar? imposed on them by passing events. No people on the face of the earth has given more striking examples of its virtues. Its efforts must not now contradict this feeling, for we would not be less faithful, less coura• geous, or less persevering than our forefathers. Ex - press, gentlemen, in your native homes, all that clear-sighted understandings can comprehend, and what must be felt by every noble heart. Tell to every one the truth ; set aside every party quarrel, and only think of the one thing necessary,—we wish to come out with honour and success from the storm which, by the grace of God, we may ward off by our union, our attitude, and our example." Such are the ,emotions, such is the resolution, such are the declarations of the royal descendant of the conquering FREDERICK. Very different are the views of Citizen CARNOT, the Provisional Minister of Public Instruction, as expressed in his official circular upon the exercise of the elective franchise. " The greatest error," he observes, " against which it is necessery to warn the inhabitants of the country is, that it is necessary, in order to be a representative, to have education and fortune. As to education, it is evident that a worthy peasant, with good sense and experience, will infinitely better represent in the As sembly the interests of has condition, than a rich and lettered citizen, who is a stranger to country life, or blinded by different interests to those of the mass of the p , asantry. As to fortune, the indemnity which will be allowed to each of the members of the Assembly will be sufficient for the poorest. . . . It must not be forgotten that in a great assembly, such as is about to meet, the greater number of its members fulfil the part of a Jury. They judge by yes' or no,' as to whether the matters proposed by the elite of the Members be good or had. They have occa sion only for honesty and good sense; they do not invent. This is the fundamental principle of re publican law in the matter of national representa tion." Such are the Utopian, the Arcadian, or the Ata lantian visions of the son of the celebrated CARNOT. But that we have an implicit confidence in the intelligence of French manhood we should be seriously uneasy as to the approaching Parliament at Paris. We should anticipate a worthless bur iloliftearagt a l e s s s q e u m e b i a n g s e t e o a f d r e a e d a sa a nn t d s i h n i s s t t e o a r d i c f d r e a n n m e s e —n 0 m a posed of Legislators with minds ripened to the toil of building up a Constitution, by brooding over the necessities of the age, and by familiarizing themselves with the experiences of history. Citizen CARNOT argues that ss ith honesty and common sense a hus bandman or a vine-dresser is fully qualified to become a representative. As if it were one and the same thing to dibble a field of potatoes and to detect the sophistries of a prjet de loi ! Why the applica bility of talents is a requisite as essential to legisla tion as it is to agriculture. If the Provisional Minister of Public Instruction wanted a piece of ground cultivated we presume he would scarcely dream of engaging the services of a stray , ilaneur in the Rue Richelieu. No; he would secure those of a man accustomed to the labour and the operations of farming. So should it be with France ; the prudence which is laudable in an individual is surely not to be ~,,,,. despised in a nation of thirty millions. " Each one to his station ! "—that should be the motto of the Young Republic, or otherwise the second word which it has selected —Equality—is a chi• mera. Unless each citizen is ready to fulfil the functions for which he is best capacitated, the land will find—not re•organization, but—chacs. An artizan for the workshop; a bricklayer for the building of houses ; a swine-herd for the piggery ; a student for the seats of learning; a butcher for the shambles; a soldier for the ranks; and a legislator for the National Assembly. Reverse the system and the whole social mechanism will be thrown into con fusion. Let the weaver's shuttle be placed in the hands of a butcher, and the factory will be soon at a stand-still. Put the bricklayer to the desk of an University and the classic idioms would remain (literally) dead languages. Place the swine-herd in the ranks, and the drill-sergeant would soon be in an agony of horror. So would it be if the delicate threads of legislation were abandonded to the palms which are only accustomed to handle the spade and the plough shaft. Probity and common sense are not the only qualities essential for the formation of a statesman, whatever citizen CARNOT may, in the frenzy of his democratic confidence, say to the contrary. LT cuncus had more than honesty of purpose, and JUSTINIAN was remarkable for something beyond mere common sense. But, maintains the Provisional Minister of Public Instruction, the best representa tive for the peasantry would be a peasant. Fudge ! If the deliberations of the National Assembly were restricted to the practical opera tions of agriculture, the argument would hold good ; but, inasmuch as the representatives of a civilized people like the French have to de cide upon the most intricate problems of govern ment and the most delicate questions of internal and international polity, the reasoning is egregiously and transparently specious. If France loses sight of these frivolous and erroneous recommendations—recom mendations which Citizen CAnNOT only employs as so much clap-trap—and follows the impulses of her own wisdom, the forthcoming Assembly will pre sent a glorious spectacle to the world, a spectacle worthy of being the sequence of an unparalleled Revolution. At Wiesbaden the Duke of NASSAU opened the Chamber pro forma on Monday. A National Guard has been enrolled, and the city was illuminated in honour of the constitution, which the Duke, the Duchess, all the members of the ducal family, and the troops have sworn to observe. The following is the decree of the Senate of Frank fort establishing the liberty of the press : Art. I. The press is free. The censorship can never more be re-established. " 11. Offences or crimes committed by the con ductors of the press will be punished in conformity with existing laws. " 111. To every printed book the names of the author and the printer must be affixed, and to every journal the names of the printer and the responsible editor. [The promulgation of the preceding law was resolved upon in the plenary assembly just held by the Senate.]" The movement in favour of constitutional liberty is spreading over the whole of Germany. The King of PRUSSIA closed the sitting of the Com mittee of the States on the 6th. In the course of l.is speech his MAJESTY thus alluded to the recent revo lution in France : " Providence has caused events to arise which threaten the disarrangement of the basis of social order. German and Prussian hearts, and men ani mated with sentiments of honour and of loyalty, know what duties are imposed on them by the pre sent circumstances. No people on earth have given a more striking example of their virtues than ours. But at present we must not relax in our efforts, for we do not wish to be less faithful, less courageous, or less persevering than were our fathers, or ourselves when we were young men. Express, gentlemen, in your domestic circles that which every intelligent mind will comprehend, and that which is felt by every noble heart. Tell this incontestable truth to everybody. Leave aside all party quarrels, and think only of that which is necessary if we wish to escape with honour and success from the storm which can not be conjured, with the grace of God, otherwise than by our union, our attitude, and our example. Stand round your King, who is your best friend, like a wall of brass, with perfect confidence. Far from having any idea of interfering in the internal affairs of any foreign nation, I am doing all in my power to secure, by the assistance and the energetic voice of the great Powers, but particularly by the consolida do') of the Germanic Confederation, an honourable peace, which is necessary to the nations of Europe, if we can prevent the career of moral and material progress, into which they have so well entered, from being destroyed for centuries. If my people give the German race the example of love and of force, they will have done much towards the preservation of peace. But if God in his inscrutable wisdom should decide otherwise—if the treaties on which the poli tical edifice repose were violated —if an enemy dared to attack my territory, or that of our allies of the Germanic Confederation—then, following the dictates of honour and of duty, I would prefer the dangers of war to a shameful peace. In such case I would call my warlike people to arms. They would rally round me as they did thirty-five years since round fhe flag of my father, of glorious me mory, who was likewise the father of his people. My confidence in the heroism of the years 1813, 1814, and 1815 will not fail me. As soon as the measures which I am obliged to take for the honour and the safety of Germany shall require the assistance of my faithful states, and if, at a later period, a general cry of ' to arms' should resound, I would again as semble the United Diet that they might assist me by their counsels." The Prussian Slate Gazette of the sth inst., has the following leading article : " Some days ago we exhorted the Sovereigns and people of Germany to seek strength in union, and our advice has not proved vain. Far from dreaming of an intervention in the affairs of France, we may nevertheless exhort the Germans to follow the move ment of that country with a watchful eye, and to prepare to fight for the maintenance of peace. In all quarters of Germany the press has declared itself in favour of this mode of action. No intervention, but the independence of Germany before all things This is the tone of the journals of Rhenish Prussia and Silesia; this is the universal language in Berlin and everywhere. It is a noble example of the energy and uniformity of the national sentiments. But if Germany so well understands what line of policy she ought to pursue with respect to foreign countries, we are certain that she will, at the same time, not fail to perceive that the tremendous events beyond the Rhine must necessarily react upon our national existence, and that the same patriotism will serve her as a guide. The manner in which the Federal Diet has just expressed its opinions supplies the best proof that the Princes and people of Germany will and can act with one common consent; and then there is no doubt (what events soever the future may have in store for us) that Germany will be raised to that rank amongst the nations of Europe which is her just due, by walking in the paths of concord, legal progress, and uniform development." The Algemeine Zeitung states that letters from Vienna confirm the intelligence that a loan of 30,000,000 florins had been concluded between Russia and Austria. His Excellency Count FIQUEL• MONT, General of Cavalry and Minister of State, has been appointed President of the Aulic Council o War; and Lieutenant-General Count WEATISLAW Aide-de •Camp-General to His Majesty the EMPEROR, , to the command of the first corps of the army in Italy. The Grand Duke of HESSE DARMSTADT abdicated on the sth inst., in favour of his son, the Grand Duke Louis, who bad appointed M. DE GARGERIN, a thorough Reformer, as his Prime Minister. The following is a translation of the Speech deli vered by the Grand Duke of NASSAU to the Cham bers on the 6th inst:— " Gentlemen and beloved States,—l have come to open this meeting myself, and to prove to you that I am sincere and determined to carry out the policy which I announced yesterday in my proclamation to the country. The only objects of your present ses sion are the promised statutes. I recommend these important affairs to your careful consideration. In these difficult times I must rely more firmly than ever upon your loyalty, and Ido rely upon it. Your sessions must bQ public. Gentlemen and dear Mem bers, I hope and trust in God that the new institu tions will confer a blessing on our own country and on the whole of the German Fatherland." The Freie Zeitung, of Wiesbaden, makes the fol lowing comment on the above speech : " These States must be aware that they do not altogether enjoy the confidence of the country, and they will, therefore, do well to observe the expres sion of public opinion upon the organization of the new electoral law, and to act accordingly." fhe same paper has a leading article on recent events in France and G erman y, in w hich it gives the following advice to the King of PRUSSIA The Cabinet of Berlin will do well to consider how far its confidence in the troops of the line, in the support of Russia for the suppression of German free dom, and in its own sympathies with the accursed policy of Metternich ought to extend. The Prussian Landwehr will not allow itself to be abused as the instrument of tyranny, and if the all-wise King (!) should not eventually open his eyes to the reforms which are so urgently needed, especially in Prussia, it were possible that—(the idea will be supplied by the people themselves)." Rumours were in circulation that Prince METTER rIica had resigned. It was also stated that Hungary had declared itself independent. Neither of the reports, however, appear to be entitled to credit. The Prince of PRUSSIA has been appointed Ci in mander .in-Chief in the Rhenish provinces. The Sardinian Constitution was published at Turin on the sth inst. Milan maintained a sullen tranquillity. There was 'no outbreak, but the Lomb2l-ds of all rank g refused to hold any communication whatever with the Germans. The Duke of SERRA CAPUIOLA, and the whole of the Neapolitan Ministry resigned on the 31 instant, and the Prince of CARIATI has been charged with the task of forming a new Administration. A letter from Berne of the 6th says :—" A letter from the Provisional Government of Neufchatel an nounces the revolution recently effected in that can ton, and the recognition of the new Government by the Federal Diet. The members of the ex-Govern ment have been arrested and imprisoned." Accounts from Malta of the 29th ult. state that a slight emeute took place at La Valetta between the people and the military. It was, however, soon quelled. The Terrible arrived at Malta on the 29th. Intelligence from Lisbon has been received to the 20th ult. The Address, in answer to the speech from the Throne, had not been voted in the Chamber of Deputies. SILvA CABRAL had spoken for four days in defence of the policy of his brother. The British Squadron was still in the Tagus, and the country was quite quiet. Madrid journals of the 4th have arrived. The first article of the project of law giving the Ministers power to suspend the Constitution, was voted on the 3d by the Chamber of Deputies, by a majority of 162 to 54. MADRID BOLSA, MARCH 4. The Three per Cents. were done at 22 9-16 at 50 days; the Five per Cents. at Si for paper ; and the Coupons at 11. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Moniteur contains a long report made by M. GARNIER PAGES, the Minister of Finance, to the Government relative to the financial position of the Republic. By this document, the deficit for the year 1848 is estimated at 48,000,000 f., independent of supplementary and extraordinary credits, which raises the total deficit created by the late Govern ment to 6/4,525,000f. This report recommends that the sinking fund should be maintained, as it is an engagement made by the state for the security of the public creditor. The report concludes by observing that, notwith standing the large deficit, the position of the Re public, as regards its finance, is not so alarming, in asmuch as after a few years of a prudent firm, and honourable Government, the credit of France will stand higher than that of any other state in Europe. By a decree of the Provisional Government of the 9th instant, the Minister of Finance was authorised to sell the diamonds of the crown, and to convert into coin the plate and ingots found in the Tuileries, the Chateau of Neuilly, and all the other royal re sidences. Tranquillity, which had for a moment been inter rupted by an irruption of brigands from the Upper Pyrennees into the departments of the south of France, has been completely restored, the brigands having been defeated and dispersed. The Provisional Government is acknowledged and obeyed in every part of the French territory where its advent to power has become known. Even in Algiers, the Duke D'AUMALB and the Prince DE JOINVILLE have caused the Republic to be pro claimed, and await the arrival of General CASAIGNAC to quit the country. The Republic may be regarded as consolidated, and the French peoPle are tiOw preparing quietly for the election of the members of the National Assembly. The National publishes the address of the Central Committee of the general elections agreed to at their first meeting on Thursday evening. After reminding the people of the victory they had just achieved, the address exhorts them to bear in mind that the preservation of its fruits—liberty, equality, and fraternity—is the first duty, and that this was to be attained by the return of honest, intelligent, patriotic representatives, of " men penetrated with the grandeur of their mission, and whose public and private lives would bear without fear the light cf the day and of discussion." After recommending the formation of sub or district com mittees, the address admonishes the people to be upon their guard against those who, impelled by ambition and cupidity, impudently seek the satisfaction of those selfish views, and to demonstrate that her patriots and men of intelligence and of heart are ready, above all things, to rally round the standard of duty and of the common interest. In the same journal we find it stated that the Government of LOUIS PHILIPPE had, by its extrava gance, brought the finances of the country into such a frightful state that a crisis was inevitable, but, adds the National, in allusion to the comparative cost of a Monarchical, with a Republican form of Government, " Under a Republic, that danger is not to be appre• hended, for a Republic is competent to measures im practicable by a monarchy." The Moniteur states that the following Council for the defence of the French Republic has been appointed :-- " President, citizen Subervie, General of Division and Minister of War. Members, citizens Lamori• ciere, General of Division of Infantry ' • Bedeau, General of Division of Infantry ; Oudinot, General of Division of Cavalry; Boileau, General of Division of Artillery; Valliant, General of Division of Engi neers ; Denvie, Military Intendant ; Secretary, citizen Charras, Major of the African Light Infantry Regi ment." The Provisional Government has appointed a Com mission to liquidate the demands of the creditors of Louis PHILIPPE. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE Yv LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, MARCH 10.

ARRIVAL OF TIE HIBERNIA. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY MORNING. The British and North American royal mail steam ship Hibernia, Captain Shannon, arrived here this morning about two o'cicck, bringing dates from New York to her day of sailing on February 26, and from Halifax on the 29th. The passage, notwithstanding the severity of the weather, has been performed from New York, including her call and detention at Hali fax, in little more than 13} days. This arrival places us in possession of intelligence five days later than that brought by the Washington, which arrived at Southampton on Tuesday last. The steam-ship Britannia, which sailed from Li verpool on the 13th ult., was met by the Hibernia about one day's sail from Halifax. The Hibernia brings specie to the extent of 40,0001. sterling and a number of passengers. The news is of a satisfactory and important nature, inasmuch as it informs us that a treaty of peace with Mexico, which the Mexican Congress would ratify, had been received at Washington, and it was conjectured it would prove satisfactory to the American Government. It is reported that Santa Anna had given his adhesion to the treaty. The sum and substance may be gleaned from the following analysis which we append :—The boun dary between the United States and Mexico to commence at the Gulf of Mexico, three leagues from land, and to be run up the middle of the Rio Grande to its intersection with the southern boundary of New Mexico, thence north until it intersects the first branch of the Gila, thence d'iwn the middle of that branch of the river to the Colorado, thence follow the division between Upper and Lower California, to the Pacific, which it strikes one league south of San Diago. In consideration of this territory, the United States to pay the Government of Mexico fifteen millions of dollars, three millions on the ratification of the treaty, and the remaining twelve millions in future instal ments. The Unite,' States to assume all claims of their citizens against Mexico, both decided and undecided, amounting to five mil lions. The treaty of commerce of 1831 to be renewed for eight years. One of the arrangements of the treaty provides that twelve thousand United States troops shall remain in Mexico, to secure the fulfilment of certain engagements ; the remainder to be withdrawn. Four months are given to each party to complete the ratification of the treaty. The intelligence from the city of Mexico, which extends to the 2d ult., is not of any importance. It was reported, by Mexicans recently arrived from the interior, that Vital Fernandez, Governor of the State; General Canals=, and Colonel Car rasco had concocted a scheme having for its object the indepengence of the northern States of Mexico, and that they are now endea vouring to obtain converts to their views. Canales was said to have been outlawed by his Government, and that he was in rather bad odour with all parties. The Governor had recently pronounced against the authority of General Urrea. Santa Anna had another narrow escape from being taken by the Ame rican troops at Tehuacan. The proceedings of the American Congress sitting at \Vashington continued dull and insipid, and to European readers quite uninteresting. The sudden death of John Quincy Adam', ex-president of the United States, mho expired in a fit of apoplexy in the House of Representatives on the 21st, had cast a gloom over all circles in 'Washington. His only words after the attack were a request to see the officers of the house, and to express his satisfaction that he died as he had lived—in the service of his country. The commercial intelligence is thus summed up by one of the New York papers, now come to hand : " In our commercial and money concerns there has been no sensible change since the departure of the American steamer Washington on Monday last, 21st inst., unless in a continued gradual improvement in the price of Government securities, as the confi dence of approaching peace gained strength. " Money is easy—but there is not much activity in exports. Our stock of flour is t;o small on the seaboard as to prevent any such fall in prices as might benefit shipments—and the last accounts for cotton were po little encouraging, that there is not any great disposition to operate in that staple. " The arrival of the steamer Hibernia on the 16th instant, with Liverpool dates to the 30th of January, showing a dull and rather lower market for bread stuffs, has had no effect on our flour market. The stock being light, and the supplies from the south and New Orleans not as large as was expected, hold ers are rather more firm, and there has been an advance within the last fortnight of 12ie. to 25c. per bbl. The sales of the common brands of New Or leans at 5 dolls. 75c. to 6 dolls., and Ohio to Michi gan 5 dells. 873 c. to 6 dolls. 6c., for better samples of Genessee 6 dolls. 121 c. to 6 dolls. 37Ac. is ob tained in small lots for home use, there being no export inquiry. " Indian corn has declined, holders submitting to the views of the exporters, and 50,000 to 60,000 bushels have been sold within a few days, at 54c. to 57c. for Southern and Jersey white and yellow, suitable for shipment. One lot of 10,000 bushels superior Devereux' white at a small advance on these rates. "Corn Meal has declined, with sales at 2.50 doll. to 2.62 k dull. per bbl. for Jersey. " There is but little doing in Wheat, it being held at 130 c. to 140,2. for Ohio and Genessee. Rye sells at 88c. to 900. " Exchange on LondGn remains pretty much as per lists. The best City bills bring from 10 to 10f, but the quotations may be fairly stated at from 94 to 10i. For French bills the demand is rather better, and we hear of sales at from sr. 22c. to sf. 20c." Our Philadelphia correspondent writes, under date of Feb. 26 " All is buoyant in the money and stock markets, in consequence of the treaty of peace. Government stock has sprung up 4 and 5 per cent., being now 1031 to 104, while Pennsylvanian Fives have risen to 74k. The bulls and bears indulge themselves in the most absurd rumours in relation to the treaty, but it is evidently impossible to keep things down. Money is abundant, and at little more than legal interest, while the banks are discounting largely and liberally."—Chronicle. BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. LIVERPOOL, MARCH 11, 6.30 A.M. The inward mail from America having arrived this morning the Post- cffice authorities have consi derately postponed the departure of the outward mail until noon tomorrow. SOUTHAMPTON, MAncu 11, 6A5 A.M. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Packet Com pany's ship Euxine has arrived off the Motherbank. The mails are landed, and will be dispatched per first train (7 A.M.) MANCHESTER, MARCH 10, MIDNIGHT. Some slight skirmishing took place between the people and the police in the early part of the evening, but it was of an unimportant character. The city remains quiet. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS, CITY, QUARTER TO TIIREK The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was dull an. in. Raiff way Sl)ares, with very little doi3 , z, were at lower prices. The Bank of England has been enabled, in conse quence of some tightness in the Money Market, or rather owing to the incertitude which checks th 9 dis position to employ money, to make a slight increase in its circulation of notcs, having had more securities offered to it for discount. The business of the corpora tion is, however, far below its accumulated means. The followin:f; are the principal points in the Bank return to the 4th inst., compared with the previous week : Notes issued, increase 103,890 Bullion Increase Public Itipnsits, increase Other Deposits, decrease SevOn Day and other Bills, increase 1,327 Other &cm ities, increase Notes unemployed Decrease 91,970 Active circulation 18,375,815 Increase 195,860 'There was scarcely any dealing in the foreign ex changes yesterday, although there was no material alteration in the rates paid for bills. The Hibernia steamer has arrived from America, and brings a further large amount in specie, viz., 40,0001. In addition to this about 50,0001. has come to hand this week by the packet ships, and looking to the state of af fairs on the continent we are not by any means displeased to hear that our bankers and discount houses are alive to the importance of retaining the precious metals which now more than ever will prove so useful to us. There has been a little gold and silver exported from London this week, but this may soon be expected to return, or at least, efforts will be made to resist any drain. The accounts from Paris of the measures adopted to meet the claims of the Savings Banks depositors, have not had the effect of inspiring confidence, because in fact if such a feeling is to arise, it must begi❑ with the French themselves. Under such circumstances, to offer depositors part payment in French R entes was probably the only course that could be adopted. The Funds opened rather better this morning, under the influence of the favourable Bank return, and the intelligence that General Scott has concluded peace with Mexico.

TH t E he Mr. Symons, the chief clerk, and CmoniB- magistrate, a n t SWORN IN AS SPECIAL CON STABLES.—This morning, at eleven o'clock, Mr. Ballan tine,Mr. Ellis, the chief usher, left the court and proceeded to the Registered Coal-Whippers Office, King James's stairs, Shadwell, for the purpose of swearing in a num ber of the coal-whippers as special constables. Mr. Ballantine received a letter from the Home Se cretary of State, directing him to swear in the coal whippers as special constables to the parish of St. Paul, Shadwell; and Mr. Barker, the registrar of the society, also received a letter, directing him to have the men in attendance. It was considered advisable by the Corn• mittee of the Registered Coal-whippers, to swear them in at their office, instead of at the Thames Police -court, and long before the time appointed the avenues leading to the office, in Shadwell, were thronged with coal-whip pers, waiting to be sworn in. Mr. Symons read the form of oath, and about 400 coal-whippers were sworn in to act as special constables, in " batches" of 30 at a time. At the conclusion of the ceremony Mr. Barber addressed them, and said he hoped they were all true and loyal subjects, and that when their services were required, they would come forward and do their duty. The men immediately answered by taking off their hats and cheerin g l o udly. Mr. Barber, now, my lads, three ch e ers for her Ma jesty. The men then gave three long and continued hearty cheers, and quietly dispersed to their respective gangs on board ship. Mr. Duff, M.P., has paired off in favour of the Government proposition on the income - tax with Mr. Willcox, M.P. GLASGOW. Official information has been received by the autho rities at Glasgow, to-day, that the colliers and miners of the Glasgow, Airdrie, and Holytown districts (amounting, it is said, to some 15,000 or 20,000 in number) had struck work for higher wages. It was also rumoured that they meditated a march upon Glasgow. • FREEMASONS' TAVERN AND HOTEL.—A dinner was held yesterday at this well known establish men t, to celebrate the opening of a new wing to the building, which has recently been added by the enterprising pro prietor, Mr. Bacon. It has long been a subject of annoyance to gentlemen attending the masonic lodges that no hotel was attached to the tavern, thus obliging them to seek elsewhere the bed and board which it would have been desirable to obt a i n i n or near t h e place of the i r meeting. That advantage is now offered by the erection of an hotel attached to the old building, so that every convenience may now be obtained within the establish ment. The chair was taken by the Lord Mayer, who was supported bytthe Sheriffs of London, Mr. Bond Cab bell, Mr. Pownall, Mr. Gould, and many other gen tlemen connected either with the masonic lodges or with the charitable institutions. The Lord Mayor plimented Mr. Bacon on his enterprise, and paid a tribute of respect to his character, wishing him every success in his new undertaking. Mr. Bacon replied briefly, but appropriately. About two hundred gentle men sat down to dinner. The musical arrangements were under the direction of Mr. Hatton. The Misses Pine, Miss Ransford, and O'Connor, with several well known professional singers, contributed to the harmony of the meeting. The proceedings did not terminate until a late hour.
