'MORNING SUN. AMERICAN NEWS. EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY, THREE A.M. By the Patrick Henry, Captain Delano, we have New York Papers to the Bth, five days later than advices via Havre. This noble vessel he's made her passage in 19 days, and brings 27 cabin passengers—the following are extracts : (From the New York Inquirer of July 7.) . . The anniversary of-American Independence was cele brated in this city with more than ordinary spirit and effect, and the day passed off with much less than the usual number of causualties. It is gratifying. too, to add that we have never known the event more quietly and more rationally observed. There was no want of noise, for there was too much music and too much burn ing of powder to permit us to say that ; but there was . le:;s over-drinking, less riotin,T, and less disorder of all sorts than is generally exhibited on such an occasion among a population of three hundred and twenty thou sand inhabitants, audit is due to the municipal authorities to say that they deserve credit for the judicious arrange melts n: plc for the preservation of order, and to the subor dinate office:s to bestow the same praise, for their faith fulness and promptitude in carrying those arrangements into elect. The Division of Volunteer troops under the coma:and of Major General Sanford, never looked more sotc.ierly, or made a more imposing appearance in all re spects The Division, after marching in Regiments through the streets, formed on the Battery, and was re viewed by his Excellency the Governor, attended by a brilliant s'.a,T. The column then moved through Broad way and several other streets to the Park, where, after firing a .fee de joye, the troops were dismissed. The Temperan4T troops turned out too, in great num bers, and marched in procession -to the Broadway Ta bernacle, where the Declaration of Independence was read by M. M. Noah, Esq., and an eloquent oration pronounced by Benjamin F. Butler, Esq. There were probably fifteen hundred in the pro cess i on o f t h e Tem perance Societies, consisting of respectable persons of all classes of our citizens, and several of the Societies bore very beautOrl banners. Among the processions, the Hibernian Benevolent So ciety was conspicuous. It was very large, and the green banners, badges, and scarfs gave a fine and imposing ap pearance to the procession. There was an Oration also, at Washington Hall, by Mr. 0. A. Brownson, of Boston. in the evening the fire-works provided by the Corpo tion were sent up from the City Hall and the other places previously designated, and had a very fine effect ; but the city was full of fire-works, and the official pyro technics were scarcely distinguishable from the others. The places of public amusement put their best feet be fore, and they were all crowded with visitors. (OFFICIAL.) APPOINTMENTS BY THE PRESIDENT. By and with the advice and consent of the Senate.

EATING, Secretary of the Treasury. FLORIDA. The St. Augustine Heald 3tates that the whole party of Co-a-coo-chee, (Wild Cat) 21 warriors, had only three ounces of powder in their horns. Among the 16 tai en by Col. Childs, there was only one ounce. The tbilowing items are extracted from the St. Augus tine News of the IBth inst. There is thought to be every security now by some, in this neighbourhood, because Wild C a t is ou t of the way. This may lead to a neglect of proper caution. Sam ras: , , the sub-chief of his party, is a bold and daring fellow, and knows well the country ; and watchfulness on the part of the citizen and traveller, is still requisite as 'heretofore. A man named Harrison, was brought in yesterday morning from Pihalm,' and lodged in prison, for the mur der of his wife, at that place. A soldier of IC " Company, 3d Artillery, named Hill, fel! from the parapet of „For: Marion, on the 15th in stant, and broke his leg, and was otherwise severely injured. There was a report in , town yeSterday that Mr. Knapp, Cashier of the Mineral Point Bank, had been murdered. How much truth is iu the rumour we are unable to state. —St. Louis Bulfella, June 21. TOBISCO.—We. are indebted to the politeness of a com mercial house for several numbers of the Aurora pub lished at San Jean Baptista Tobasco, as late as the 27th ult. It appears that the Maldonados faction, which kept up an agitation in the State with a view to bring about a military depotism, has been entirely broken up and disorganized by the activity of the military Commander, 1)on Francisco de Sentmanos. The Mal doaados has been for some time fomenting gplots, and ha:; kept up a secret correspondence with Santa Ana. The arrest of the leaders and the destruction of their party secures the peace and prosperity of the free and independent State of Yuctan.—N. 0. Courier. MOST HORRID MDRDER.-OR Saturday evening last, a little girl, about teu or eleven years old, the daugh ter of Mr. ;James Cochram, of Lincoln county, was murdered in the most brutal maaner, by a negro man belonging to Mr. Irving. It appears that the negro had run away and gone to Harrodsburg celebration. A few minutes before he committed the murder, some angry words were passed between him and the brother of the little girl. Meeting her soon after, in the road, he inquired if she was sister of the young man who had abused him ; she replied that she was. Thereupon, seizing a rail, he struck her several times upon the head, literally smashing her skull to pieces, and causing her death to ensue in a few moments. He immediately fled, but was pursued and taken the next day. and committed to gaol in Stanford.—Kentuchy RP, June 26. - PItOGRESS OF T EMPERANCE.—The Miner's Journal, published at Pottsville, Pa. says We have upwards of three thousand teetotalers in this region. Beat that if you C. ei TitE tAtors ON LONG ISLAND.—These, so far as we can ascertain, are all flourishing. The corn looks e eeedingly well. Wheat and Rye are forward, and gi ve x : prospect of a good crop. — Brooklyn Evening Star. THE Cp.c,pS.-- - -The crops of this county have suffered comparatively little from drought. We have frequently had showers, and were last Saturday blessed with a copious rain We are informed by the farmers from and m the country that the crops, particularly o f corn, grain, grass, never looked more promising.—Portsmouth (N. H.) Gazette, June 29. The Skaneateles (Onondaga Co. N. Y.) paper of Fri day speaks of " the weather as fine, and the crops full of promise." " The crops generally look extremely well." The cashier of the Citizens Bank of New . Orleans occers 500 dollars reward for the detection of any person guilty of issuing .g5O counterfeit bills on that institu tion. The counterfeitlsos are all attempted imitations of the ( 1 I plate. The steamer Col. Harney has arrived at New Orleans from Tampa Bay, for the purpose of conveying Wild Cat back to Florida. The Chief and his band of fif teen, were shipped for that port in a schooner, which has not yet arrived. It is stated that the other Indians refia:e to come in to emigrate, unless Wild Cat, whom they consider to have been unfairly nabbed, shall be brought back and set at liberty. NEW YORK MONEY MARKET. TUESDAY .NIGHT.—The amount of business transacted at the Board to-day was light, except in United States Bank shares, of which about 2,800 were sold, closing at 18 1-2, an improvement of 3-8 ; American Exchange Bank went up 1 per cent ; Delaware and Hudson 1 7-8 ; Harlem declined 1-8 ; Stonington 1-2. The operations in State Stocks were light—lndiana Bonds sold at 55 1-4, a decline of 3-4 percent., and Ster ling at 51 1-2, a decline of 1-2 per cent. The inquiry for Foreign Exchange is very light. Ster ling Bills are held at 8 1-4 a 8 1-2 ; Francs 5E 27 1-2 a sf. 20. Thera appears to be a rather better feeling among the Cotton holders, consequent upon the foreign advices, al thon4h the saleS to-clay have been rather small, and with no change in rates. The news from abroad has also tend ed to make the Flour market rather buoyant, although no improvement in prices has been noticed to-day. We quote Genesee 5 50 a 5,561, with some lots not strictly fan,-!v at 55,64 ;Ohio 5,37 , a 5,50; Michigan !),31+ a 5,371 ; Gco':g . etown and Howard-street $5,50. The receipts of all descriptions are light. No sales of Corn Meal. We have yet no supplies of Southern Corn or Oats. Sales about 4,000 bushels Northern Corn in lots to eastern men ct 61 a 63c. Rye is rather more plenty, but the market has been swept. Sales 1,000 bushels not de livered at 59e. ; 900 do. at 61c. ; 4,000 do. at 611 a 62c. delivered ; 3,500 do. on private terms, and 1,000 do. Jersey at GOc. delivered ; 1,500 bushels Northern Oats at 46e. Ashes of both descriptions have an upward ten dency, and the arrivals are limited. The Alton Telegraph s " The statement that a writ of quo warranto had e been awarded against the Bank of Illinois anbdeeSnhoabtainern ,is incorrect, no such pro ,cesshavin- ru ( u. Co a rr b es Et p: u n i d A e , ne e of the Courier and Enquirer.) JULY 6, 1841.—Yesterday, of course, no business was done, and not much more to-day. Brcad Stuffs keep up, and I doubt if there is any decline before harvest. The receipts from the country both of Grain and Flour continue very light. Flour is steady at $5,25 for Pennsylvania brands and $3,50 for Brandywine. Sales Brandywine Corn Meal at $l4 per hhd. Rye flour, p 3,25. Wheat finds ready sale at 120 a 122 c. for Penn sylvania, and Southern 112 a 115 per bushel. Yellow Corn has been sold, afloat, at 60c, and White 58c per bushel, and Southern Oats at 40c. Quercitron Bark has declined, the best offer is $3O per ton for first No. 1, but it is generally held at $3l. Spanish Oak has improved a trifle, and sales to-day at $l6 per cord for prime. Whiskey remains very dull at 21 a 22c per gallon.

ANNIVERSARY OF AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE. This day fell on a Sunday, being the 4th of July, and the celebration was therefore postponed till the following day. The subjoined is a programme of the intended re joicings, taken from the New York Enquirer, of the sth July. It is unique in its way, and certainly furnishes a contemptible idea , of the enthusiasm of the people. Had an agent of the Autocrat of all the Russias been employed to turn the event into ridicule, he could not have been more successful than the American editor. THE MILITARY. The first Division of Artillery will.be reviewed upon the Battery, by Major-General Sandford, at ten o'clock, and by his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, at half past ten o'clock ; after which the Division will take up its line of march through Broadway to Chambers-street, down Chambers to Hudson-street, up Hudson to Laight street, through Laight and Canal-streets to Broadway, up Broadway to Grand-street, through Grand-street to the Bowery, and down the Bowery and Chatham-street to the City Hall, where the honours of a marching salute will be paid to the Mayor and Corporation ; after which a feu de joie will be fired in the Park, and the Division dismissed. AMUSEMENTS, &C. NIBLO'S GARDEN.—If Niblo's elegant resort were not more than half as elegant and half as attractive as it is of itself, it would be filled to-night ; for he has taken care to make it almost impossible to keep out of it. The usual attractions are there of course ; but there are more. Herr Cline, professor of the poetry of Rope Dancing, will exhibit all his marvellousness, and the best company of comedians now playing together in the United Mates are going to perform You Can't Marry your Grandmother, in which we take it that Lambert, and Chapman, and Miss Ayres, and Miss Petrie will astonish their grand children. Cline makes his terrific ascension from one side of the garden to the other, 300 feet. And there is to be one of the most brilliant series of fire works ever exhibited. We have not room to enumerate them. PARK TELEATRE.—EIssIer plays one of her most attractive characters and dances one of her most popular dances this evening. To secure her wonderful talents for the celebration of our National Jubilee, the manager has gone to immense expense. That it will be met with a corresponding feeling of liberality on the part of the public, we have no doubt. The house will be so crowded that we advise all who wish to see Elssler perform to go early in order to secure good seats. The Bowery Theatre will celebrate the Anniversary in great style. In the first place, a new romantic drama, called The Corsair, from Lord Byron's beautiful poem of that name, will be performed—Mr. Barry in Conrad. The scenery is new, and exceedingly beau tiful and effective. To be followed by A Day after' the Fair, in which Mr. Holland, the very . Prince of comic actors, will divide hims e lf i n t o six sections, and do all them to perfection. Sam Wax, Sukey Squall, Bill Thompson, Miss Dumplin, and Octavius Moonshine, and Jerry, will each one of them be so done up that it will be almost impossible to pick them apart. But besides that there is to be the Black Ghost by John Smith, and his black papoose, young Coleman, and, above all, Dibden's Mother Goose, in which the Swiss Brothers will appear. If the Bowery is not full to night it never will be. - Si ;nor de Begnis offers strong attractions at his con cert to be given at New Brighton, which, added to the charms of the trip, should ensure him a large audience. He is assisted by Mr. Kossowski, Mr. Ernst, Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Horn, Mr. Timms, &c, The Atlantic Garden, in Broadway, opposite the Bow ling-green, is one of the most 'convenient stopping places for thOse who visit the Battery. Peers' Ice Creams will be in demand, if the weather he not very unseasonable, and we know not where a better article can be had ; in deed so pleasant and refreshing are they, .that were it not that some strict constructionist might have scruples, we would perhaps recommend to Congress to keep a supply on hand to cool the ardour of certain southern members. The Battery is under ordinary circumstances a cool and pleasant retreat, but when the usually refreshing breezes are laden with a villanous smell of brimstone and a person is kept prancing under a July sun to avoid being burnt by fiery flying serpents. or run over some aid-de-camp hurrying in hot haste across the field, our friends will find that the soda water and ice cream they can obtain at the Battery Saloon, No. 13, State-street, acceptable and refreshing. THE NEW NATIONAL PAINTINGS.—OR this new an niversary of our country's freedom, it may be consi dered little less than the positive duty of our good ci tizens to take their families to see those great paintings of American victories, which are now open at a very low charge, at the Lyceum, in Broadway. The subjects are Yorktown, Lake Erie, and New Orleans, in three fine oil paintings, of 20 feet by 15 ; from the pencils of three of the first artists in France. They are consi dered in Europe as among the ~,,, -r eatest painting of the age, and s h ou ld no t b e neglected, even if they were less proudly identified with this patriotic occasion. No ex hibition in the city is more worthy of the day, and of the people whose country they honour, and we shall be disappointed in the taste and patriotic feelings of our citizens, if these pictures do not form objects of all curio sity and laudable pride at this present annual festival. THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.--A part of this day we think could not be better spent than in viewing Rome and the Bay of Islands, at Catherwood's Rotunda. This is one of the most interesting exhibitions in the city, and should be seen by citizens and strangers. The panora mas may be seen during the day and evening, when they will be splendidly illuminated, and lectures given free to visitors. THE TEMPERANCE SOCIETIES—Are to have a cele bration at the Broadway Tabernacle, with an oration by the Hon. Benjamin F. Butler. The line of the proces sion will be formed at half-past one o'clock, p.m., in Grand-street, the right in Ludlow-street--countermarch do, Grand-stract to the Bowery, up the Bowery to Bleecker-street, through Bleecker-street to Carmine street, through Carmine to Hudson-street, down Hud son to Canal-street, up Canal-street to Broadway, down Broadway to the Tabernacle, and there stop. EXPRESS FROM PARIS- PARIS, TUESDAY.—The Taionite ur publishes the de fence of M. itunann against the attacks of the Dehats and other papers, for injuring the p u bli c cre di t by defe rr i Th y hF di - ssa lotiasfied w n so long.ith M. It H i u s ma s n a n id , n t o h t atthe King is muchonly for his sluggish financial measures, but for having been Government wished t the main cause of the riots at Touloure. The French ex-M ayor strike a blow at Toulouse, and prosecute the ex Duval, hesitated to do so. 1 but the Commissary, M. We have received the manifesto of Prince May rocordato, as First chiefly confined to the in ste te r e of Greece, which is l fgeolernre.menTthoef only country, and presents no political construedea:f t r o owing :—" The favourable to the n pas ew sag G e r w ee h k ich in c s a u n rre b e e tionis th e Divine Provi dence, which requir e Hellenic Society, revived by the a of its to society, members, dence, is composed of interests and rights support and protection ; but you tslaiotulddue call to mi n d a that the most sacred right is h to ameliorate it by the welfare of each and by the development of all its moral and sical powers, and conseq uentl y all private interests must give way to the general interests of society. It belongs, then, to you, gentlemen, to assist their develop ment—the forerunner of a wi s e libert y — by a resolute and unflinching protection, as well as by imp ar ti a l jus tice to all, which is thejost noble attribute of every Government." The Commerce says the destination of the Toulon squadron is now understood : three ships are to remain in observation before Tunis, and the remainder go to the Levant. It is whispered in political circles that the French Government is desirous of espousing the cause of Queen Christina against Espartero, and the old project of the marriage of the son of Don Carlos is again revived, as meeting the concurrence of the Continental Powers. Our Madrid letter of the 20th intimates that the pre sent Minister of Finance is likely to retire, and to be succeeded by M. Marliani. Espartero has ordered that the fete clay of the Queen Christinashall not be observed this year, and the usual reception at the Palace is not to take place. The weather at Paris still continues fine, and favour able to the harvest. Paris Bourse is slightly better ; Fives, 115 f. 20c. Threes, 761. 60c. for account.

This is, however, not what the landoWners mean. They mean that their just receipts from the land, and the just profits of the farmer, are more taxed by. the State than the just receipts of the manufacturer and of professional men. The national wealth is divided into rent, profit, and wages; and the real subject of complaint is, not that the wages of the agricultural labourer, or the profit of the farmer, are unduly taxed by the State, but that the rent, of which the land owners are the recipients, has to pay more of the public charges than the profits of the manufac turer or the wages of the labourer. If the asser tion that the land bears more of the fiscal bur dens than manufactures, means any thing, it means that and nothing but that. There is another aspect, indeed, under which the burdens on our land are considered, namely, in relation to the burdens borne by the land of other countries. But there is no country of Eu rope in which there are not more restrictions on cultivation than in our country, and in which so small a portion of the revenue of the State is raised from the land. Whether we look, there fore, at the burdens borne by other branches of industry, or in relation to the burdens borne by the agricultural industry of other countries, there does not exist the shadow of a reason for taxing the bread of the people. The wages of labour, to consider only the bur dens borne by the land in relation to other sources of wealth, are settled between the farmer and the labourer, and are temporarily regu lated by the demand and the supply, under the natural law that the farmer must, in order to have the services of labourers, pay each one enough to feed himself and rear up the number of la bourers required. Again, the rent of land is determined by a bargain between the tenant and the landowner, the latter getting all he can, and the former giving no more than whatremains of the produce after he has paid all his expenses, including the repairs of all his wear and tear, and replacing all his sold or used stock, and in cluding his own wages and the profit of his capital. None of the produce of the farmer, with the exception of hops, is subject to a direct tax in his hands, and, with the exception of malt and cyder, to a direct tax shortly after it has left his hands. But all those taxes ultimately are paid by the consumer, and it is only as they operate to diminish the consumption of the articles grown by the fitrmer, that they diminish his re ceipts a farthing, or impose on him the smallest burden whatever. The payment of wages, the expense of cultivation, the profits of the farmer, are all necessary charges arising out of the nature of things, not imposed by the State; and, with the trifling exception of hops and malt, the State does not impose a single burden on agricultural produce, which can in the smallest degree dimi nish the profit of the farmer or the rent of the landowner. We make this assertion absolutely and not relatively to the burdens borne by manu facturers, which, as our readers may at once infer from what we have said of malting, dis tilling, and brewing, are enormous, and in some cases unbearable. These statements may be confirmed by a glance at public taxation. The Customs and Ex cise duties, in 1837, amounted to 36,3,35,6771., of which the tax on malt and hops yielded 5,596,7741. These taxes, however, as we have said, are paid by the consumer, and only indi rectly affect the aviculturist by diminishing the demand for his produce. The amount of stamps, in 1837, was 7,265,123/., of which the legacy duties, not paid by the owners of rent, was 2,185,8901. The Assessed Taxes together amounted only to 3,890,1461., and of that sum the land taxes amounted only to 1,192,638/., or very little more than one half of the legacy duties, from which the landowners are exempted. The whole amount of the revenue was 50,592,653/. From the fact, that of this whole sum only 1,192,6381. falls exlusively on rent, while it con tributes no part of 2,185,8901. paid by the legacy duties; and from the fact, that the great bulk of this sum is levied on articles imported, or worked up for consumption ; that the landowners only pay in proportion to their consumption or enjoy ment, like the rest of the community, and are not subjected, as landowners, to any burden from' which others are exempted,—from these facts, it is plain that the complaint of the land being heavily and exclusively taxed by the State, is wholly unwarranted. But the local burdens, what of them ? The State undoubtedly makes the receivers of rent and profit, though very scantily, support those in sickness and age who produce all their wealth, and as they produce it, are allowed to receive but a very small part of it. But it is a complaint of the great advocate of the rent-owners, that they support their labourers much too scurvily, and that instead of being relieved from any part of the burden of poor-rates, it ought to be in crease d. Again, the State imposes on landowners and occupiers, the burden of keeping up high ways, but no persons profit by them so much as the agriculturists. The landlords are well aware of this, and last Session renewed an Act to apply the highway-rates to the keeping up of turnpike roads, or extend the taxation, because it is for their advantage. The State, too, compels the agriculturists to provide prisons for their crimi nals, and generally to pay the expense of a pre ventive police. Highway-rates, poor-rates, and county-rates, however, so far as the amount is concerned, are all self-imposed. The Vestries, Guardians of the Poor, Justices in Session, &c., determine the amount of highway-rates, poor rates, and county-rates, and not a small portion of all of them has been wasted by the unscrupu lous jobbing of the parties imposing them. Ma gistrates have built for their amusement spacious palaces, and called them prisons ; they have constructed splendid bastiles, and made fine roads, sometimes for their own convenience ; but however all these circumstances may be, the fact that the amount of these taxes is determined by themselves, and depends on their manage ment, takes from them every pretext fur com plaining of the State, or for taxing the food of the people. Rent is the surplus which the farmer gives the landowner, after paying all his expenses, and no doubt rent would be higher were his ex penses less; but the proportion of them caused by the State is almost inconceivably small com pared to the expense of wages, seed-corn, &c, The chief cause of his expenses is much enhanced, in the price of all articles consumed and used by himself and his labourers, by the laws which raise the price, not for the benefit of the State, but for the benefit of the landlords. The land lords' tax, in fact, leaves less for rent than there would be were there no such tax ; and not only are restrictions on agricultural industry, but taxes on agricultural produce, imposed by the land lords. Up to a recent period the tithes, being a de duction from the crop, were properly included in the expenses of the farmer ; now they arc abstracted from the landlord's rent. By the change a great increase was made in the value of the land, which the landowners promoted for their own exclusive benefit. Whatever may be the amount of the tithe rent-charge, it never belonged to the landowner. It was a part of the property of the cultivator, which the law took from him. The landlords have no right to it whatever; and the same law which secures him in possession of his estate, secures the tithe-owner in possession of his reat-charge. It now forms no part of the cost of •production ; it was properly fixed on the surplus produce, or rent ; and however that inay be divided by the idle landlord and the worse than idle priest, is of little consequence to the community, though it affords us no reason whatever for levying a tax on the bread of the people. If tithes be considered a burden on land which justifies the Corn-law, the latter ought to be so constructed as to give relief - only - to that land which pays tithes, and land lithe-free one fourth of England—has, not theJeast claim. MoreoVer, when the tithes are'ln the hands of the landowners, when they are bOth tithelords and landlords, as they are on' nearly half the land of England, they have not the least shadow of a pretext to levy a Corn-tax, because tithes are a burden on rent. We know very well that the produce of tithe-free land, and of land ( f which the tithes belong to the owner, cannot be distinguished from other produce in the market; but on the principle laid down by the landlords, of compensating those who are burdened, jus tice requires that it should be, and that it can not be is the condemnation of the pretext on which they tax the people. In considering this question, however, we must not forget- Scotland, where there are no tithes, hardly any poor-rates, and the smallest possible amount of highway-rates. Why should the owners of land in Scotland, not subject to the same burdens, be equally protected with the landowners of England? Justice' requires that only the latter should be protected: the Corn law Confers as great a proteetion on the rent owners of Scotland as those of England. What can be said, too, of Ireland, where the tithes do not amount to one-fourth of the tithes of Eng land? . " Landed property in . Ireland," says Mr. M'CUlloch, " is placed under what would be considered in England very advantageous circumstances. There is neither land-tax nor poor's-rate to pay ; the landlord, as has been seen, rarely lays out a sixpence on farm-buildings or repairs ; even the agent, instead of receiving a salary, is frequently allowed to indemnify himself by extorting fees from the tenants ; so that the rent-roll, and the free income, are identical."—Statistics, vol. i. , p. 549. If the landlords and the Legislature meant, as they and their partizans assert, to do justice, they would, on their own principles, only give an advantage to the land of England which is subjected to the payment of tithes to the priest hood, and would not have given it to the land of Scotland or Ireland ; but they give it to all the soil of the empire, and thereby show that they do not pay the least regard to justice. In fact, the whole of the assertions that the landis subject to exclusive burdens is a mere pretext for plundering the people. But supposing that all which is said were true, supposing it were ascertained that the land were taxed to the extent of five shillings or six shiilingr per quarter more than manufactures, there would still re.nain two powerful reasons why that would be no justification of Corn laws. First, the landlords have the power of legislation in their hands, and have imposed these burdens on them. Let them take them off. Secondly, the comparison is between land and manufactures--between rent and profit; and to equalize the burden profit alone ought to be taxed. The tax on corn, however, does not fall exclusively on profits, it tills mainly on wages ; and the landlords equalize themselves to the manufacturers by plundering all the eaters of bread. Such a proceeding is monstrous in practice, and it is still more monstrous in theory, but it is all of a piece with the conduct of the landlords. Our conclusion is that the land is subjected to no exclusive burdens, and that, if i t were, the remedy for the inequality is the remo val of the injustice from the land, not the inflic tion of a much greater injustice to the bulk of the people.. Some of our Contemporaries seem strongly oblivious of facts. Ministers are acc us ed by the' Tory Journals of not having brought forward at an earlier period their measures of free trade, and of having done nothing to meet the deficiencies in the revenue. To reply to the last statement first : we must remind the public that Ministers, no longer ago than 1840, proposed an additional per centage on all Customs and Excise duties, and all Assessed Taxes, calculated to yield upwards of 2,000,0001. Their measure had the complete approbation of the Tories; and had it realised expectations, there would have been no deficiency in the re venue. It (lid not realise expectations; on the contrary, the revenue fell off, and hence the necessity this year of trying free trade measures. But, till the present year, that unfortunate con dition and resources of the country could not possibly be known, and could form no ground fbr introducing a measure into Parliament. Why were not the free trade mew tires tried sooner ? When, till the revenue became deficient, let us ask in return, did any person find out the utility of such measures; or when, till that deficiency time to light, would tho,se measures have been for one moment tolerated ? The Corn law, which was passed in 1828, was not severely felt during the fertile seasons of 1831 to 1836, and it was only with the year 1838, when prices had risen very high, that a general de mand for the repeal of the Corn-law arose. Till 1838 or 1839, there was no ground on which any minority, knowing the sentiments of the landlords, could dare to propose a modification of the Act of 1828 ; and any Ministry would have brought ,instant ruin on itself by making the proposition. The same may be said of sugar, which only reached an excessive price in 1840. Until the present year, when the revenue, in spite of the increased taxation, first began to fall off, there was no pretext for practical states men adopting the deductions of science and abo lishing the Act of 1828. The two charges of taking no measures to meet the deficiency, and of having delayed to bring forward free trade, which the Tories now bring against the Minis ters, are wholly unfounded and false, like the majority of the assertions of the Tories. A most astounding discovery has just been made, which must at once put an end to all alarm and apprehension for the future fate of the country. It has within itself the means of safety, susceptible, by the piety of our statesmen and the contributions of the people, of indefinite ex • tension. •- Compared to this wonderful machine, our armies and navies are impotent to defend, and our commerce to enrich us. Even our agri culture, the delight of the Tories, is worthless to thiS sublime invention, of which nothing is so ex traordinary as the blindness of our people to its prodigious merits. We, however, want words to describe them, and, therefore, we must borrow the language of the Standard : Where lies the strength of England ! In her fleets, her armies, her wealth, her fortresses and palaces ? No, all these would be the prey of the enemy, but for one shrine of transcendant power. The strength of England lies in her morality and her religion—her parish churches are her real bulwarks, worth thousands of even her fleets and armies. And where lies the strength of the Conserva tive party in England ? In clubs, and cameras, and lit tle cabals ? These are drawbacks, aye, and fearful drawbacks, too, upon the strength o f the C onservative party. The urch of England it i s , an d t h e Church of _England only, which has righted the country. Of a similar description is the language of the Dublin University Magazine, which has kindled the holy fire in our Contemporary. Here is a little specimen : And now, reader, what is the instrument by which God, in his mercy, has been graciously pleased to achieve for us this great deliverance? Ponder well that question. Was it the monarchy ? No. Owing to the most artful misrepresentations, all the power and the influence of our gracious and amiable, but most deluded Sovereign, was exerted against the Conservative cause. Was it the corrupted portion of tile aristocracy ? No ; they were aiders and abettors in that criminal delusion. To what, then, are we indebted for our escape, at the magnitude of which we are even still astounded ? We say, emphatically, to the Church of England. Yes ! That was the blessed instrument, prepared aforetime for this great work. It is by the spirit of the Church of Eng land we have been saved. Even the Church of Scot land, towards which we at least have no invidious feel inss, can claim no share in the averting of this mighty calamity ; as she was more intent upon her own crotchet of church-government, than regardful of the general safety. In achieving this our great deliverance, the Church of England stands alone. Upon the present occasion the Church of Scotland has adopted the spirit and dwindled into the insignificance of a sect ; and if she is safe, it is only because she may repoze under the shadow of ilia mighty spiritual mother, without whose influence? upo: the understandings and consciences of the British peopH the whole framework of our Constitution, both civi. and ecclesiastical, would have been, ere this, consigned to ruin. With such an instrument of national safety ; always more easily worked by the Arclibisho!' of CANTERBURY than the House of Lords by the Duke of WELLINGTON, what need can there be of tear? The Tories have of course long been aware of all the healing powers of the noble con trivance, and hence they have snapped their fingers at picturers of commercial distress and dying artisans, conscious that the facts could no. be, as stated, with this blessed means of nationai salvation in full working condition. As it eon• fers such inestimable benefits on society, Messrs. THOROGOOD and BAINES, with all their friends and supporters, are ignoble men to repine at being made martyrs for the welfare of the whole human race. The Catholics, too, as well as the grumblers at Church. rates, must at once confe,t the sin of their antipathy, and ask pardon for their unpatriotic conduct towards this most use ful of all possible inventions. We have no doubt of the sincerity of those who thus eulogise the Church, and we fully accord with the Stan dard, which we trust will be always remem bered by the bulk of our population hungering for food, that the Church of England has been the main instrument for securing to the country a monopolist House of Commons, determined to maintain the starvation laws. The Tories are great idolators, and the pre sent object of their worship is PEEL. Eleven years ago he gave them not the cruel domina tion they prayed. for, ,and they threw him down and spat on him, and turned him out of their Oxford temple, just as the black idolators of Africa maul their fetiehe biocks` when their enemies defeat them, or the harvest is blighted. In truth, there is a much closer resemblance be tween the man and the worship of the Tories and the stock worship of the heathen, than is at first sight apparent, and both will be sure, in the end, to sufferfrom, their superstition, and to quarrel with their idols. We see, in an excep tion to the rule. we have just adverted to, the certain commencement of disappointment and desecration. The Times is a sort of free thinker amongst the Tories ; it begins to flout their idolatry, and proposes to substitute for it the Whig creed. It said, yesterday— The fluctuations of price and supply, the vicissitudes of seasons, the state of the producing countries, and our moral, social, and political relations with them, the re venue laws and commercial systems of foreion . States, the prospects of peace and war, the st a t e o f credit b and cur rency at home and abroad, 'the exigencies 'of the Ex chequer—these are all circumstances which must Im taken into account in settling thetiMe, the manner, the direction, and the degree, in which those commercial maxims on which all parties are agreed, and which were first acted upon under the Tory Governments before 1830, are to be practically applied. To facilitate the operations of trade, and to provide for the necessities of .the public service in the manner least burdensome to the community, are objects which recommend themselves so plainly to the ordinary sense of mankind, that no Minis ter, however stupid, could avoid appreciating them, or, however dishonest, could have any motive for disregard ing them. There can never be any fundamental differ ence between Whigs and Conservatives upon points like these ; and it is idle for either party to seek to invent one. A stationary policy is impossible ; and even if it were possible, it would be not conservative, but destruc tive. Advance, we must ; the only question is, in what direction ? and when means, not ends, the physical and not the moral department of politics, are under discus sion, all must agree to answer—in the direction of the greatest practicable utility. Ali this is what the Whigs say, and the Times can find no language better suited to its own views than that which has been employed by the Whig Ministers. Their whole budget was founded on the principle of providing for the " necessities of the public service in the manner the least burdensome to the community." The Tories never attempted to show that such would not be the result, they kicked out the budget because as they said it would impede the success of our project for abolishing slavery; and they after- wards censure the Ministers, and mean to kick them out, because they were unable to carry their budget. - The Tories might, perhaps, have proved, but they did not, that the necessities of the State could be still better provided for by a farther reduction of the duties on sugar and tim ber, and by the abolition of the Corn-laws, than by the budget of the Ministers; and they kicked out that budget, because it was an approximation to a principle which the Times now implies all politicians must act. on. • The passage in our Contemporary is very re markable on several accounts. It is not written in a party spirit ; it is, therefore, a genuine ho mage to truth. It is a great honour conferred on the Ministers. It admits, as they assert, the impossibility of a stationary policy. The Times asserts that Sir ROBERT PEEL'S must be a Re forming Government, and it must facilitate the operations of trade. The Times is already a con vert to the Whig creed, and attacks the idolatry of its coteries. We do not notice this matter with any refer ence to the character of the Times, which cannot be damaged by its .conduct, whatever that may be, but to set the tactics of its party fairly before the public. The Tories, urged on by the Times, have made a furious attack on Ministers for walk- in by those principles which that Journal now says, because they are consistent with reason and justice, must guide the Tories. At the same time that Journal condemns the Whigs for "recently endeavouring to draw subjects relating to trade and commerce into the category of party questions." The Times and the Tories have actually made party questions of such subjects, have defeated the Ministers on them, and now, adopting the principles of the Ministers, plainly prove that :hey opposed them six tseeks ago on a trade question solely for a party purpose. To the pure Tories, the holy Church-loving Tories, all things are pure, and they may turn out the Whigs on a question of trade or Commerce which the Whigs must never make a party matter of. The Tories may steal a horse, but the less 'Church-loving Whigs must not look over the hedge. Such is the morality of that party of monopolists which boasts of its purity, and which is now to govern this great country. Such, too, are the despicable arts by which ho nest and intelligent electors have been led by the Times to give a verdict against providing for the " necessities of the public service in the manner the least burdensome to the community." There is another part of our Contemporary's leader deserving of notice, because it carries with it a forcible condemnation of the policy of his party. " Our institutions," it says, " have bound together the different classes of British society by a thousand links of mutual duties, mutual good offices, and mutual aff ect i on, which cannot be paralleled in the past history or present con dition of any other nation." In the main that is true, and in those institutions there must be some principle of honesty and of generous li berty to work such effects. No Englishman will deny the great merit of these institutions, at least in times past; but no reasonable person will say that the Corn-law of 1815, or the Corn-law of 1828, was one of them. It is a thing of yes terday, and is, both in its moral nature, as in- fringing on the property of the subject, and as an encroachment on liberty of trade, a gross viola tion of the principles which linked the different classes of society together by mutual affection and good offices. That law sets class against class—that law sets the aristocracy against the democracy, the manufacturers against the land lords—and that law has, during the few years it has been suffered to exist, wiped clean out of the minds of the people all those effects which our honest and free institutions had produced. We are unacquainted with any similar dis honest legislation in the whole course of history. It will be recollected that our Corn-laws were passed after the protecting theory of Govern ment had been completely demolished. They were passed with a full knowledge of the evil consequences of acting on that theory. At the time the manufacturers were protected by law the effects of such a system were not known ; and those who prohibited the importation of silk and iron, held a bona fide opinion that the prohibition would be of public benefit. 41 73 , ) , $1 . O AO 1 ( V r §^,kttn/ LONDON: THURSDAY, JULY 29, 1841. BURDENS BORNE BY THE LAND. Some of our Contemporaries are engaging in an elaborate discussion concerning the peculiar burdens borne by the land, and as they make them out to be ls. per quarter on, wheat or 6s. per quarter, they conclude that the protecting duty on corn imported ought to be is. or Os. per quarter. We will not engage in such a discus sion, because there is an immense confusion of terms, great digculty in ascertaining the truth, and, supposing it ascertained, no reason whatever why land should not be relieved from any sup posed peculiar burdens inflicted on it. We must, however, endeavour to justify our views, and, if we can, clear away some of the confusion in which the subject has been involved. What is meant by land bearing burdens ? It bears, and a noble foundation it is, our houses and our bridges and our railroads; it bears, when we cultivate it, fruits and flowers both nou rishing and gladdening to man's life; b u t it i s a mystification to say the land bears fiscal burdens. They fall on the people ; they all fall on indus try ; they are all abstractions from the produce of industry; they are all paid by labour, the one source at all time of every shilling of the national revenue; and it is a piece of sheer mystification on both sides to write and talk about land bear ing fiscal burdens. The real question is, whether the industry engaged in agriculture bears more of the State burdens than the industry engaged in manufac tures. At once, the answer is plain and positive —it does not. It is subjected to no peculiar burdens by the State. The, industry of the agriculturist, and all the instruments he em ploys, even to horses', as far as the State is con cerned, are as free as air. He can send his produce to any and every market. It is not sub ject, except in the case of hops, to any Excise or restrictive laws. He needs no permit to move it about. No prying exciseman visits his pre mises to see what he is doing. He can break up his land, or neglect it, or use it, so far as the State interferes, just as he pleases. It is only when agricultural produce goes into the hands, of the manufacturer that it is subject to restric tions. The maltster, the brewer, the distiller, the tallow-welter, cannot work without the presence of the exciseman, or in subjection, to Excise regulations; and the farmer must become a manufacturer, a maker of cyder or malt, a brewer, or a tallow-melter, before lie is subject to any of the restrictions which the State imposes on industry. It is, therefore, a fact—an unde niable fact—that the industry of the agriculturist is subjected by the State to no peculiar burdens. The only burdens or restrictions that it is sub jected to are laid on by the landowners, or by the customs of some districts, not by the State ; but with them, as they are matters generally of private bargain and contract, the public have nothing to do. Land, the great instrument will which the agriculturist labours, is let sub ject to a great variety of restrictions, which the landowners suppose are for their benefit. They lay duwn rules for its cultivation and cropping, and fbr manuring it, and disposing of the hay and straw, for breaking up meadows, and retaining a certain proportion of land in ,grass and under the plough. These are onerous, and, in our judgment—though we are not intimately ac quainted with the art of agriculture—most ii - jurious restrictions on the industry of the agri culturists—restrictions, too, imposed for selfish purposes, by the it 4, and ignorant landowner on the industrious and skilful men who cultivate the earth.

In the e re. of the reduction, in 1825, of the duty on coffe e ', 9 ' r th duction cf only 50 per cent., it was no t till the le ° n a year that the revenue recovered its former footing ; had that measure been judged of by its him] sults, or even by those of the second or third year teen abstractedly, it must have been pronounced a fna" - ; failure, whereas it is at present recognised as a I ' l°4 l l ot of eminent and undoubted success ; and indeed the . reductio,er year, which was the sixteenth since the yielded a revenue more than double that obtained unialat the high rates. Nor is there any reason to suPP °sc • t the benefit has yet obtained its maximum. ecliatelfecn PROPERTY AND THE TORIES.—The Tories begin to fear the consequences of their seizure of the Govern' m,nt.
