GREAT SELLING OFF, by Mr. FOSTER, the ACCOUNTANT. 34 - R. FOSTER has i ns t ruc ti ons t o su bmit for A. SALE, in Lots, as prepared for Auction, 27,000/. worth of LINEN DRAPERY GOODS, being the Stock adver tised for Auction on the P rem i ses , CORNER of FLEET STREET and FARRIISIGDON-STREET, trading under the firm of HEBBLEWHITE and CO., notice having been givep that an auction is not permitted by the lease. Mr. Foster, in calling attention to this immense sale of goods, be g s to remind ladies a n d f am ili es t h at t h ey are not ex pected to realise more than half the original cost, tLe object being to clear the whole off the premises, and any portion remaining must of necessity be removed to his Auction-rooms. Ladies aro soli cited to mal:e allowances for the awkwardness of the assistants, being - mostly young men from his office, consequently unused to this method of selling goods over the counter. The following is about the reductions intended to be made. The linens being the larger portion, will be reduced as under:— s. d. 730 pieces of Irish linen, mostly Knox's make, that cost from Is. 6d. to 25. 2d. per yard, ladies may choose from all, at 26 yards, for About. 850 of his curiously fine numbers, worth from 2s. 9d. to 3s. 3d. per yard, will be likewise reduced to 26 yards for 1,000 or more pieces that are soiled, amongst which are some warranted fabrics, will be reduced to 26 yards for 21 0 The sheeting' and table-linen require particular notice. The respectable family trade carried on for thirty years at the esta blishment rendered it necessary to keep none but fine and war ranted goods, consequently ladies will not be subjected to the chances usual on selling off stocks of risking the durabiliity. Fifty pieces of linen sheeting are reduced to be sold in the length only at 4s. 6d. to 10s. 6d. the pair, those at 10s. 6d. being three yards wide, and real Barnsley manufacture, having originally cost 2s. 9d. per yard. Should the length be four.d in convenient a further reduction will be made in the price. The tablecloths, although of the finest description, are mostly soiled, consequently the reduction must be immense. Some superb damask cloths, three yards long, will be sold as low as 6s. 6d. each ; lots of good linen breakfast cloths will be marked from Is. to 2s. 6d. each, and about 130 cloths, from three to six yards long, many worth three to four guineas, will be sold none higher than fifty shillings. Mr. Foster wants au offer for the following lots from the trade :—Ribands, as per book, 1,830/.; lace, as per book, 640/. ; gloves, as per book, 143/.

Mr. Foster would not have undertaken this sale had he not felt satisfied of the character of the goods to be sold, and ladies may depend that every article will fully answer the description given in this advertisement, or at the time of sale. The prin cipal part of the stock having been kept in their wholesale ware houses, will be found in good condition, and any person buying in large quantities, no obstacle will exist in the way of price ; a ; se a liberal discount will be allowed off the bill when it ex „eL's 10/.

The increas ing public and private taste for the acquirement of music—the strong recommendations issued from the press—the establish ment of Singing Schools for all classes—and the great anxiety displayed by Professors and Amateurs of Music to remedy this national inconvenience—bas led to the formation of a plan for establishing a Company for the erection of a splendid Edifice, to consist of a spacious Music-hall, a minor hall, Singing School, Library, and other necessary offices; and in order that the building may be erected on the most scientific archi tectural plan, the designs will be open to public competition.

At a MEETING, held on Friday night, at the CROWN and ANCHOR, King's Head-court, Shoe-lane, Fleet-street, of the JOURNEYMEN CURRIE RS in LONDON, to take into crnsideration the measures proposed by Sir Robert Peel, it was resolved unanimously,-- l. this Meeting views, with deep regret, the tariff pro posed by Sir Robert Peel, as any reduction of the duty on foreign curried leather will be most injurious to the Journeymen Corners of this country. 2. That this Meeting considers that the reduction of any of the duty on foreign-made boots and shoes, will have a direct tendency to injure the interests of both the Master and Jour neymen Curriers. _ _ _ 3. That it is the opinion of this Meeting. that if the tariff be carried into effect, as proposed by Sir R. Peel, it would para lyse the commercial and trading interests of this country, and ruin thousands of the middle classes; and throw hundreds of thousands of workin g men out of employment. A s th ese f ac t s have been admitted by Sir R. Peel, in one of his speeches, and riot a single word said about how the person s th us ruined and thrown out of work shall be provided for, this Meeting further resolves— That it has no confidence in the Minister that would attempt such dangerous and visionary experiments, and tamper with the best interests of the country, while these are so many easier and better methods of making up the deficiency of the revenue. 4. That this Meeting get up a Petition to Parliament found ed on the foregoing Resolutions. (Signed) RICHARD HODDLE, Chairman. April 1, 1842.

The Court was again crowded with auditors, curiosity being on tiptoe to hear the result, it being fully expected that the proceedings would, at this sitting, be brought to a close. On the bench with Mr. Rushton, sat Messrs. H. Hornby, William Brown, Booth, T. Rathb me, J. Aikin, Joseph Hornby, Councillors Kilshaw, Cooper, Jordan, and others. Mr. Rushton inquired of Mr. Grocott whether he pro posed to call any witness in behalf of his client, and he said he did not intend it. To the question, Mr. Davon port also replied in the negative. Mr. Rushton then said that he would not put the names of the other witnesses who might now be called on the back of the indictment. It was necessary that they should be present, in order to identify the prisoners, or any of them, and such witnesses might be cross-exa mined for the prisoners. He then inquired whether either Mr. Grocott or Mr. Davenport were engaged for Duval. They severally replied that they were not. An officer came into court and stated that he had been to Dr. Dryden's (examined yesterday), and found that gentleman dressed, and lying in bed; that he stated he was so ill that he could not attend, and that he had been on the way to the Court but found himself so ill that he was obliged to return home. He wished witness to re quest the Court to send a medical gentleman to see him, and certify to his state of health. Mr. Rushton appeared to be satisfied that Dr. D. was unable to appear. Con siderable delay then took place, arid at a quarter to three the witness was brought into Court, and the seven pri soners, who were brought up on the previous day, were again placed at the bar, with the addition of George William Duval, who had been taken into custody on Thursday. Mr. Rushton addressing Duval, said, he had been taken into custody in consequence of the evidence affect ing him, which he would read to them. One of the witnesses could not attend to-day from illness, but he would have an opportunity of cross-examining him on a future occasion. The other evidence affecting him was . that of Miss Crelli n h erse lf, an d some ot h ers , an d t h ese might be cross-questioned. Mr. R. then read the evi dence of Miss Crellin, and Dr. Dryden,iand having com pleted it, said that it appeared from it that he (Duval) had been engaged in the matter from the commence • ment, that was mixed up with it throughout, and had aided and abetted the other parties in the transaction. If he wished to say anything he might do so, but in doing so, he (the prisoner) must be cautious in what he should say. Mr. Duval declined to say anything at that stage of the jJ roceedings. Mr. Rushton then asked M‘Gill, with the usual cau tion, what lie had to say ?—He declined saying any thing Wen. _ _ Air. Quick said the manner in which the prosecution had been conducted was most unjust and disgraceful to wards him. Ile had no knowledge of Miss Crellin for more than six days, nor had seen her till after she was at St. Paul's Church. He had no knowledge of her going to Egreniont, and had only gone to Rogerson's to see a sick child. He considered it very hard that he should be taken and kept in custody, as he had taken no part in anything improper. Jones (the man) and Mrs. Jones, his wife, said nothing. Mrs. Clayton said—l accompanied Miss Crellin and Mr. M‘Gill to Scotland, at the request of both. I went to bed in the next room on the night of the marriage, as I shall prove on my trial. I was called up by Miss Crellin in the morning part. She knocked me up and requested I would come to her. My door was locked. I put on my clothes and went. She complained of great pain in her finger from the tightness of the ring. It was much swollen. She requested me to take it off ; and I bathed her hand in cold water, and tried to take it off, but could not. Her husband asked her to go back to Led, saying that the swelling would fall before morning, and he would then take it otf. I was never in bed with them, and what she said on that was ill-founded. The ring was got otf next morning. It was filed off, and a large one put on. She wore that ring as long as I re mained with her—till we came to Liverpool, and ap peared to be quite satisfied. That is all I have to say respecting the marriage. With respect to the 201, I had nothing to do with the transaction. What it was said I stated to Mr. Dowling is not correct. The police °Pricer himself contradicted the statement, and it was ungentlemanly in Mr. Dowling to bring it up. Mr. Rushton asked Mrs. Clayton whether she had any thing more to say ? Mrs. Clayton—Not anything at present, Sir. Mr. Rushton then addressed the prisoner James Dun levie, and said that under all the circumstances of the case, and considering that there was some doubt of his being concerned in the second part of the transaction, namely, the taking away of Miss Crellin to Gretna Green, he would admit him to bail. He must enter into his own recognizance of 100/. and two sureties of 251 each, to appear to answer the charge in that Court when called upon, and also into further recognizances to answer any indictment that might be preferred against him. Mr. Davenport urged, on the part of Mrs. Jones, that she had acted in this matter under the directions of her husband. Mr Rushton said no bail could be taken for Mrs. Jones, as she had been proved to have frequently acted 'distinctly for her husband. Mr. Grocott applied on the part of Rogerson, contend ing that there was but little difference between his case and that of Dr. Dryden. Mr. Rushton said Rogerson could not, under any cir cumstances, be admitted to bail. Mr. Snowball applied for the immediate committal of the prisoners. Mr. Rushton replied that he could not consent to that, because he thought the prisoners ought to have an op portunity of cross examining the witnesses before their names were put on the back of an indictment. Mr. Grocott reminded the Court that the Borough Ses sions were approaching ; they would be held on the 14th. Mr. Rushton—l am afraid it will be impossible to com mit them in time for the Sessions—if indeed I commit them for trial there at all. _ _ Mr. Snowball said, if they were committed to the Ses sions it would be impossible to prepare the case as it ought to be. _ _ Mr. Rushton would not commit them upon any consi deration at present. Some conversation then took place between Mr. Rush ton and Mr. Snowball, as to who should prosecute. The Court saying that the Corporation prosecutor must un dertake it, and Mr. Snowball stating that Miss Crellin was anxious that he should prosecute, especially as he was engaged in taking proceedings to set aside the alleged marriage. This matter was eventually settled by Mr. Rushton observing that it would be easily arranged out of Court. The prisoner Rogerson here expressed his desire to say a few words in the hope of inducing the Court to admit him to bail. He said he had never taken the slightest part by way of advising or planning, in this matter, and that he had always behaved with the greatest respect towards Miss Crellin. He had six young chil dren and a wife depending upon him for support, and un less he were admitted to bail, this circumstance would be the entire destruction of his family. Mr. Rushton said he should have thought of his family before ; at present he could not be bailed. The case, however, would be further investigated, and, if any circumstances came out likely to alter his opinion, lie would give them his best consideration, but he could make no promise. Mr. Grocott—May the prisoners see their friends? Mr. Rushton—l cannot make any such order ; but they may see their legal advisers. The prisoners were then remanded till Friday next, at one o'clock. The Court was crowded to excess during the whole of the proceedings. INUNDATION:AT DERBY AND LOSS OF LIFE. --- DERBY, APRIL I.—Derby was this morning visited by the most calamitous and fearful flood that can be re membered ever to have occurred in the town. It is now fast subsiding, and the streets are passable for carriages. The footways are still in places covered deep with water. The first intimation within the town of apprehended danger was made about half-past one o'clock in the night, and those who reside upon the edge of the brook which passes through the town were promptly alarmed by the watchman. Immediate steps were taken to rescue property; but so sudden and rapid was the rush of waters, that even those who had early caution suffered consi derable loss. In the middle of the town (King's Head Hotel) I looked out about four o'clock, just aroused from sleep. From the bedrtfam window I looked into the yard, which seemed a huge tank .of water, flowing half way up the stable doors. Exertions were being made to force open the folding gates which I open from the street into the yard. The angry rush of flood defied their utmost labour. Pigs and their troughs were swimming ; dogs whined and shivered, ter rified in their escape ; the horses trembled as they stood , belly deep in the water, from which it was not possible to release them ; within the house chairs were floating along the passages, tables , were turned, barrels ra i se d from the cellars, a ittle fleet of boots and shoes sailing about in the very mockery of confusion. The greatest calamity I have yet heard is the loss of one,life, which I hope is the extent ; it is of a young newly-married woman, who slept on the ground floor, who was drowned in the bed. Copings of bridges and of St. Warbeck's Church wall and railings are washed down ; vaults within the Church sprung ; heavy town carts floated from their yards and overturned, now lie in the streets ; and an immense extent of damage is done to goods, furniture, &c., throughout the centre of the town. The market, whi c h lies in the fall or deepest part of the current, is swept away. BARNSTAPLE.—The election petition against the return of the Members for Barnstaple has been with drawn on a compromise,. —West Briton. On Thursday a murder, followed by the suicide of the supposed murderer, was committed at Kingswood, populous village, five miles from Bristol. The name of the perpetrator of the double crime is Simnel Cook, and that of his victim Edith Cook, his own sister. They were both unmarried, and lived for years together on the best terms. Both were remarkable for their industrious habits and inoffensive manners. 3 They were of penurious habits, and in the box of the female were found eight sovereigns and 501. in silver. The cottage in which they lived was about 150 yards from any other dwelling. A Coroner's inquest was held on the bodies, when the fol lowing evidence was laid before the Jury : Abraham Fry, having been sworn, deposed that he was in the habit of serving. the house of deceased with milk. Went there as usual ab nit seven o'clock yester day (Thursday) morning. As he was going up the Bar ton he saw the body of a woman lying down on the face about ten or twelve yards from the door of the house. He was very much frightened ; but presently he saw Hannah Paul going by, and called out to her ; on her coming they examined the body, and found it was that of Edith Cook. They then gave an alarm, and the neighbours came. He obser ve d mar k s of blood on the dress. Witness went with another man, named Peacock, into the house, and then saw Samuel Cook lying on the floor, with his throat cut, and a good deal of blood about the room. He was gurgling in the throat, but at length he spoke plain, and said. " I did it ; I cut her throat, and then my own." Mr. Biggs, the surgeon, was sent for, and came directly, but he died in about an hour. Deceased had been poorly for some days before with a bit of a cold. He was reserved in his manner. Hester Peacock, wife of Isaac Peacock, deposed that she heard the cry of murder. at half-past six o'clock on the morning in question, and immediately ran over the hedge into Cook's garden, which adjoined their own. On going into the house she saw Cook as described by the last witness. He knew witness, and tried to speak, but could only make a horrid noise in his throat. Wit ness was much alarmed, and ran out, and found Edy (deceased's sister) lying dead across the garden path, and appeared to have been so some time ; the blood was congealed. The chairs and tables and all the furniture were in their usual places. There was a good fire burn ing, as if it had been lighted some time, but there was no appearance of breakfast. There was a little blood neat: Samuel Cook's body, and a large quantity on the floor, near his sister's chair. There was a razor-case on the table, with one razor in it, and another razor in Cook's right hand. Isaac Peacock deposed that immediately on the alarm being given he ran into Cook's house, and found him as described by the other witnesses. Raised him up in a sitting posture. He had all his clothes on, and a night cap on his head, and his shoes on, and laced as usual. He went out and found Edith in the garden ; but the people he left with Cook thought he wanted to speak to witness, and he went and raised him again, and said, " Oh, Sammy, Sammy, what did you do this for?" He tried to answer, but could not. At last he said, " Oh, I cut her's first and mine after." There was a large pool of blood on the floor near the table, but there was not much blood on him. Witness did not consider they lived comfort ably together. Had seen them dining, one in one place and one in another. She was very hot and hasty, and they were very sulky at times. She saw him on the Monday, and he seemed then very poorly in health, and took some medicine at that time. He was very careful and saving, and he thought that his sister and he quar relled about money. Witness assisted to carry the body of Edith into the house. The body was rather 'impish, but the blood was congealed on the throat, and she must have been dead some time. He thought from the ap pearance of Cook that he had cut his own throat after the woman had cried out murder, as her right hand was raised near her throat, and there was hardly any blood on him. He held the razor tight in his right hand, but witness took it from him. He did not believe that Cook had sufficient strength to carry Edith from the fire-place to where she lay in the garden. He might have dragged her there. Did not observe any marks of blood in the path from the door to where Edith lay, nor any appear ance of her having been dragged. Samuel Fry deposed that he was alarmed by his brother Abraham. Peacock went into the house first. They raised Samuel Cook up, and asked him who did it, and he said, "I did it ; I cut Edith's first and then my own." Spoke to him a day or two before the occurrence, and he appeared afflicted in his mind. The sister was of a qucerish temper. Richard James Biggs, surgeon, deposed to his having received a message to attend the deceased, and arrived at the cottage at about a quarter past seven o'clock. In passing through the garden observed the body of Edith Cook among some cabbage stumps. She was quite dead and nearly cold. Saw a wound in her throat of three or four inches in length, which divided the right carotid and right jugular vein, and the esophagus and trachea. It was done by one cut, which appeared to be from left to right. She might have been dead an hour, or an hour and a-half. There was complete coagulum on the throat, and under the neck a small quantity of frothy blood. Examined particularly the path from the body to the door, and there appeared no blood on it ; there was some on a bent cabbage stump that was near. On entering the house saw Cook lying on the floor with his throat cut ; there was a large quantity of coagulum lying over the cut, but not a great deal of haemorrhage going on then. The cut divided the trachea and esophagus, and two small arteries. Neither of the carotids nor the jugular veins were divided. Witness put questions to the deceased ; he could not speak to answer them, though he tried. He appeared to know witness very well. Did what he considered necessary, and went home to get a tube to insert in the throat, but before I could return he was dead. Had no doubt but the female must have died in two or three minutes. Thought the cut was given in the chair. There was a pool of blood near the chair, and smaller clots towards the door, and some on the door-post and panel. Thought she must have ran hastily to where she was found. Thought it possible that a per son receiving such an injury might have gone from the chair to where she was, and she might have put her hand to her cap, and partially stopped the flow of blood. He had attended Cook before ; there was nothing singular in his behaviour, but he was very reserved, and of very penurious habits. In answer to questions from the Jury, the witness said the blood on the door was about a foot and a half from the ground, and appeared as if smeared, not sprinkled. There must have been something put to staunch the blood, or it must have spurted out. The cap probably did it. He never saw anything like aberration of mind in Samuel Cook, but rather the contrary. Knew the sister had been insane. Several other witnesses were examined, but their evi dence only went to show that Samuel Cook had been in a low and desponding state of mind for some time. The Jury, after a long deliberation, not being able to agree on a verdict, the inquest was adjourned till Tuesday next. 4 0 STATE OF TRADE. FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, APRIL I.—We have have had rather less inquiry for foreign wools this week, in consequence, we suppose, of the occurrence of the Easter holidays. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, APRIL I.—We have this week to report a continuance of the languid demand for all kinds of English wool alluded to in our last report. We do not quote any alteration from last week's prices, though the same quotations are with dif ficulty maiaintained. TRADE OF LEEDS.-At no time since the commence ment of the year has there been so little doing as was the case on Saturday at our cloth halls ; on Tuesday there was a little more done, but on the whole there is not half the business doing whie,h is usually transacted at this season. In this dull state of the demand, prices are of course very far from being satisfactory. There has been a little more business done in the warehouses this week as compared with last, but the demand has been principally for Tweeds and fancy goods. The fine cloth trade still continues in the same dull state as it has been during the last six or eight months. HOLMFIRTH.—Trade still continues in a fearfully de pressed state. Many of the mills have not been half employed during the last three months, and the circum stances of the working class have been gradually getting worse. The condition of out-door workmen and arti zans is deplorably bad. The impetus which a many hoped the spring trade would give to our manufacturing operations has not been realised. Tradesmen cannot divine what benefit they are to obtain by having the burden of their taxation increased, and numbers are looking to the future, not in buoyant hope, but fearful alarm. Of Peel's odious income tax, but one opinion is expressed, namely that it is a dernier resort to prop up the landed and colonial monopolists. BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—Our Piece trade may fairly be quoted a little flatter, which is attributable to the present time being between the seasons ; and the German fairs being on, the merchants suspend their operations till the result is known. There is a steady business doing in yarn, and we believe there is no accu mulation in stocks. Prices without alteration. The de mand for wool still continues limited. The market is fully supplied with all kinds requisite to meet the pre sent requirement of the spinners, who are acting very carefully, buying only what is wanted for immediate use. In prices there is a slight decline.—Leeds Mercury BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, APRIL I.—Nothing done in our Sugar Market during the week. In Lon don, the prices have decined another Is., and of the large quantity brought forward for sale the greater part was withdrawn, principally for want of buyers, but also to prevent further depression.—Bristol Mercury. The works on the railroad along the Valley of the Seine are going on through the whole line with the ut most activity, by men drawn from all parts of France, and even from England. The tunnel at Venables is en tirely perforated, and the masonry of the vault is com menced. All the questions of expropriation of lands are adjudged, and numerous additional p ort i ons of the road will be undertaken in a few days. M an y v i a d ucts over the Seine are in progress, and there is every reason to expect that the road will be open even before the sti pulated time. PROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF SATURDAY. 7 -'444- 4. GLOBE.—Sir Robert Peel's Budget of 1842 will constitute an epoch in the history of legisla tion. It has the unenviable quality of offending all parties, and pleasing none. It is an ingeni ous piece of fiscal machinery for annoying every body and pleasing nobody. It is a chef d'cruvre in its way, and its production will, most assu redly, immortalise its author. Brought forward with pompous gravity, but with assumed " alacrity and buoyancy of spirit " pro ducing in its propounder a solemn compla cency, as though it had been a grand dis covery in political science the House of Commons heard it announced with an almost sympathetic reverence, while a considerable portion of the country received the intelligence of the Premier's "grand secret" with an aston ishment which was mistaken for approbation. When, however, the ebullitions of surprise sub sided into tranquillity, and reason resumed its functions—when, by examining its qualities and analysing its elements—when, by viewing it in the varied phases in Which personal interest, party prejudice, and c oo l, i mpart i a l i nvest i gation will always cause every great public mea sure to assume, its real character was brought to light—its hollow pretensions, its gross partiality, and its selfish and class-iuterest tendency became manifest. Those who at first praised the " boldness" and " profundity" of the project became silent; indifference succeeded to admiration ; and laudations subsided into silence ; while in the far greater majority of instances the first feelings of astonishment gave place to aver sion and detestation —quantum mutatus ab ! it is, indeed, a change. Even `the followers of the Premier, with the Government Jour nals, the mere chequers of the party, have the audacity to " blow" upon the magnificent scheme cf their leader. When such sad saucy knaves as the latter—albeit, not over-nice--venture to cry " stinking fish" upon the pet production of their master, it is not very likely to prove palat a bl e t o the public. In fact, Sir Robert Peel is somewhat in the predicament of the Man and his Ass, of fabled celebrity, who, whether lie rode or walked, or carried his quadruped, tailed to give satisfaction to the passers-by : at length, so says the fable, he be came so enra ge d a t the unqualified disapproba tion he encountered, that he threw the poor beast over the bridge, and thus ended the troubles of both. STANDARD. —Wh en a nation or an indivi dual gets into debt, or finds that expenditure greatly exceeds income, or both (which happens to be our present unfortunate condition), two courses are open—either to " put off the evil day," with the certainty of its arrival sooner or later in aggravated terror, or boldly to meet the difficulty_ by such sacrifices as may be necessary. There is no middle course. We may deceive. ourselves, 'or (which more frequently happens) pretend to deceive ourselves, by expedients for dischargingdebts or demands,wi thou t paying any thing; and there never will be wanting persons to help us with such expedients—as wise as Lord John Russell's late budget, or the scheme of Swift's philosopher. who proposed to extract sunbeamsfromcncamiers. But the truth is, that money due must be paid by money, in one shape or the other, and money cannot be paid without making sonic sacrifices. If, therefore the coun try is prepared to pay the debts incurred during the last seven years of peace, arid to meet, with out incurring further debts, the augmented ex penditure rendered necessary by the Ministers who have incurred these debts, the country must be prepared to make sacrifices. Neither Sir Robert Pee], nor any other Minister, can make a deficient revenue an adequate revenue: "ex nihilo nihil fit." This is a very plain proposition, and any attempt to make it plainer would only obscure its obvious truth. But this proposition is admitted on all sides—all are agreed that the country must make a sacrifice, and all are perfectly contented that the country should make it; but, somehow, every one has an excellent reason why he and his class should be exempted from the neces sity of contributing to the offering. How isa States man to deal in such a case ? Is he to accept every excuse offered, upon any grounds more or less plawible, or upon no rational grounds at all? Is . he to spare the annuitant because he thinks that the proprietor of a perpetuity will be taxed too little in proportion ? or to spare the landowner and farmer, because other measures threaten to fall heavily upon him ?—while all object to the cruel necessity of being obliged to expose the true condition of their affairs. The truth is, that they do not like to pay. They liberally profess their readiness to make a common sacrifice—but their interpretation of a common sacrifice is a sa crifice which is to cost themselves nothing. Now, if a Minister were to yield to these and like ob jectors, it is not difficult to say what would be the fate of his expected revenue. And therefore, in the circumstances supposed, a Minister has but one course, and that is to look for revenue to all who are able to contribute it, and who can be made to contribute it, but to look no further. Nor is there any practical injustice in this plain course. The best test of any man's interest in the common safety and the common prosperity is his preiwnt command of money. Riches are proverbially fugacious ; and whether their flight be marked out by a certain date, or left to the contingencies of fortune or of death, it comes to pretty much the same thing in the end. As re gards taxation, it would be just as unreasonable to tax wealth in prospect as to make alloWances for prospective poverty. COURIER—WeII, the Easter recess is just over; the Ides of March are passed; the thun ders of the Opposition have swept over the country; but, alas! how puny the echo which they have awakened ; the last resource of despe rate factiousness has been tried in the hope of lashing the country into the requisite degree of convulsive excitement, and what is the result ? Where are the strong . and formidable manifesta tions of hostility to Sir Robert Peel's financial measures, to his income tax, or his tariff revision, which we were told the country only wanted an op portunity to exhibit? Where are the county,where the city public meetings, that were to have been held, and before the combined expression of whose opinions the Minister was to have quailed? Echo answers where. With the exception of a few scattered and half-suppressed murmurs of discontent among the more unreasonable of our agricultural friends, and an occasional grumble amongst the parties who fancy their interests will be injuriously affected by the proposed re duction of duties, the country has maintained the most profound silence on the subject, and if ever it were allowable to construe silence into consent, it is in the case of a proposition for im posing a new tax. A little grumblingin such a case were pardonable ; no one likes to have his patriotism subjected to such a test; and with the prevalence of this dislike to anything in the shape of fresh imposts, the wonder is, not that tile ward of Farringdon Within or Farringdon Without should have met and resolved against an income tax—not that the Berkshire or Lin colnshire thrillers should have deprecated any reduction of duty on foreign corn—not that the glove manufacturers of Yeovil should have re monstrated against any alteration of the duties on gloves —or that the great coal proprietors of Northumberland , and Durham should have sought interviews with the' Members of the Go vernment in the hope of being able to avert the proposed enhancement of duty on exported coal. TILE SPANISH GENERAL MAROTO.—The famous General. Maroto has got into a " little war," from which he is not likely to escape with credit. lie and three friends were shooting some leagues from Madrid, a few days since upon a couple of estates, without leave of the proprietors. A young gamekeeper warned them off, and was commanded by the General to hold his tongue. The young fellow was as proud and independent as the Gene ral, and would not succumb in the fulfilment of his duty. Maroto then abused him as a Carlist, and declared that the country around was Carlist, and that that was the reason he was annoyed in shooting over it. Words be came 'high and warm ; the gamekeeper stood upon his right. The stronger party threatened to shoot him, rnd Maroto drew a pistol. The lad seized his own gun, and prepured to defend himself. Maroto's friends seized and held it, and discharged it in the struggle. One of them made a desperate stab at him with a knife, which cut open his thigh from hip to knee. The wounded man filed as well as he was able to his heuse, and Maroto pur sued him with the pistol to the door. The alcalde of the district has instituted a cause against the General, who '(having a strong faith in the influence of money) sent to the wounded lad's flither to offer him 100 dollars to let the matter rest. The father and son alike refused the money, anti preferred to " let the law take its course." Spanish law is proverbially slow, and clients to hasten it often take eases like this into their own hands. EX TRAORDINARY DISCOVERY OP WATCHES IN CRUTCHED-FRIARS.—BetweeD eleven and twelve o'clock yesterday (Friday), as a man named Brown, a cork cutter, was passing along Crutched-friars, he saw a parcel lying in the gutter, which, on being opened, was found to contain fifty. three Geneva silver watches. Brown lost no time in conveying the property to the station-house in Tower -street, and delivered it to In spector Bradley, who sent a description of the watches to each of the station-houses, and then took them to the head office in Basinghall-street. There is every reason to believe that the wrapper had been a pocket to a great coat. and fallen off, as there are several stitches in it. s At a late hour on the previous evening a f oreign steam boat arrived at London-bridge Wharf , and there is rea son to suppose the property had been smuggled. Th e whole officer, th and h the watchest u f s have the present v eb been e seized by a Custom houserests this extraor dinary affair. si4clClN - d' A uatllAY, Convenor, Church-street, Minories. ap i ..
