821RIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM TILE EVENING PAPERS OF FRIDAY. GLOBE.--s•The delusion by which the wily Pre mier has sought to propitiate the labouring classes, by creating in them an idea that they are untouched by the tax, seeing no incomes under 1501. per annum are to be subject to its operation, was powerfully exposed by Lord B ro u g h am. His Lordship laid bare the sophistry of this part of the scheme with that peculiar facility and force of illustration, in the use of which he is unrivalled : " A very great delusion prevailed in the country — at least, amongst that large class, .the labouring popu lation, for whom he felt so strong an intereste--aa to the operation of the income-tax on them. It was a very commom thing for them, or for those who instructed them, and who should know better, to say that the income-tax could in no way affect them. There was no greater delusion than this. It required but little ar gument to show that the labourer was affected by the diminution of the fund out of which he was paid. When the capital accumulated, the fund of the labourer was increased ; when it became dimin ished, the fund to pay the labourer decreased in the same proportion. The manner in which the income tax was levied showed its effect °tithe labourer. You levy so much on men possessed of income ; all that you withdraw from their capital—supposing them trades ' men, farmers, .or manufacturers—came from that accumulation which they had made this year, and would probably spend next year. The money which they paid as an s s lcome-tax was no longer an expen diture from which they could derive any direct advantage, for it was taken from them to be applied in another wars--to support labour of another kind, which was not productive. If that amount were not taken from that class, it would be an accumulation, which would be spent in the same or the next year." Let the working classes weigh well these self evi dent results from the infliction of this tax on their em ployers, and they will see little cause for giving the Premier credit for considering their interests; in the exemption for which he and his supporters are dis posed to take such enormous credit. We are far from regarding the Government measure as secure of passing, in its present form, into law. The indica tions of dislike to its provisions among the very classes to which Sir R. Peel is indebted for his present po sition, are strong and unmistakeable. Sir R. Peel cannot behold those unequivocal manifestations with , - out alarm. He knows well, that so soon as his " ma chinery" for working the tax is brought into opera tion, the injury it will inflict, and the disgust it will create throughout the country, will call forth a feeling which no Government can safely disre gard. The responsibility the Premier has incarred is fearful. The Government which, he overthrew, upon the financial measures it proposed, undertook, by relaxing commercial restrictions, to raise the required amount of revenue. We have not now to discuss whether that result could have been immediate ; but the mere proposal alarmed the class interests, who combined gainst the ministry which had the courage to attack their monopolies. The result was its overthrow. We have now Sir Robert Peel ; and, with Sir Robert Peel in power, that most odious of all imposts—be cause most unequal in its pressure and most inquisi torial in its operation—an Income-tax ! The tax, if brought into operation, will speedily put an end to the Government which has ventured on the experi ment ; and the country will be thus happily relieved from both. STANDARD.—We have said we think enough to show that a graduated income-tax would change al most every man's position ; whereas the only just bur dens are those which are borne by society altogether, without any disturbance of the relative position of its members. Of the necessity for an income-tax, Lord Brougham gives the following fair acknowledgment : " Those who thought that there was no necessity for the tax might do so ; Nit, for his own part, he believed that it was essential, and that they could not do without it, for the credit, the character, nay, almost the existence, of th e coun t r y depended on filling up and supplying the deficiency which had been allowed to arise in our finances. He therefore -was not anxious to defeat it." This acknowledgment might seem to render un necessary the rest of Lord Brougham's speech, but the Noble Lord has peculiar notions, and having acknowledged the necessity of the tax, he proceeded to raise every imaginable objection against it—a way of acting sufficiently intelligible, if he intended to impeach those who had made the tax necessary (himself included), , but . certainly not the course that would be adopted by a prudent patriot. The Noble Lord bestowed a solemn warn ing upon the labouring classes not to suppose that they are exempt from the effect of the income tax paid by their more fortunate fellow subjects. .they must pay it fully, he said, in the diminished demand for their labour. Now we might shortly cite one authority against this proposition—against which authority the Noble Lord would scarcely take an exception—we mean Lord Brougham him self, who, in the eighth of the resolutions then and there before the House, actually calls for a direct in conae-tax upon the labouring classes. Author of the New Poor-law as he is, we cannot suppose Lord Brougham ,would impose a double income-tax upon the labouring classes. The truth, however, is, that an . incon- le-tax, direct or indirect, cannot reach the labour ing c'iasses—the New Poor-law has sunk them too low for that. While the competition for employ ment exists to the extent it does, and must continue under the pressure of the New Poor-law, the labour ing dasses must take whatever they can get, and their avages will not be measured by the ability of their employers, but by their own ability to sustain nature upon the coarsest kind of food. It is also a fallacy to assume that taxes necessarily diminish em ploy scent. 6DURIER.—Mr. Ferrand has great reason to be proud of the success of his labours and the light in which they are appreciated, as testified in the daily tributes to his name of the Whig-Radical Journals. • The Chronicle has another long article this morning to proVe how admirably he has hit upon and how keenly he has cauterized the sore places of the Anti-Corn. Law League. In the agony of intense suffering, time patient imploringly calls upon Sir Robert Peel to' stay the excising hand of the unsparing operator, but we trust the Right Hon. Baronet will be slolv to interfere with a. case not specially fal ling within his department, but .in reality belong ing to that side of the house or hospital coming under the denomination of the ward of incurables, the superintendence of which has, with great propriety, been, assumed by the Honourable Member f or Knares . borough, who not only professes, but has amply ap proved hinielf to possess, 'infallible nostrums for the certain Cure of the desperate - patients in ques tion.' In tare course of- its cries for mercy. and :forbearance our afflicted contemporary piteously e bjects that, 'whereas- Mr. Cobden and others, f ;self among the number, only applied the terms monsters, tyrants, demons," &c., in the wholesale sense against landlords, farmers, and agricultural ope ratives, as constituting the class of the landed interest, without specific reference to individuals. Mr. Fer rand, on the reverse, has travelled into the retail line, mnd singled out particular cases in illustration of his asitults upon the league. Of the two modes of war fare the people at large will be 'disposed to concede that, at any rate, that foll6wed by mr. Feriand is the most manly, as it proves to be the most 'effective. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF SATURDAY. GLOBE.—The preliminary discussion of last night on the finance project of Ministers places the attitude of parties on that subject clearly before the country. We now know what are the ,reasons, .or no-reasons, which Ministers can produce in general debate ; and we also know what are the motives they appeal to, in de la.* of reasons. With regard to the former, we only beg an - reader to go carefully through the excellent speeches of Mr. Baring and Lord HoWick, and the less 'detailed obset vations of Lord John Russell and Mr. LabOu chere- —we only beg any reader to do this, and then to turn to the answers of the present Chancellor of the I :xchequer, and the present Prime Minister, of this c ountry ! We have not, and our readers know we have ant, asserted precipitately the entire sufficiency of the a-Whig -commercial reforms to immediately fill up the; . . deficit. But we do beg any impartial persons, not biai ;sed by privileged interest, to examine calmly w hi z t avc,. , ; proposed, as expounded last night by Mr. Baring; and compare it with what is proposed now. Indeed .we . may say habemus canfilentem reum. Sir Robei t Peel felt himself so strong in reliance on class-rnotives, that . he gave himself little or no trouble adducinh - general` reasons for his tax. There was, indeed, a repetition of his former inflated description of our dnc ulties—and dire exaggeration of them indeed is rehired to colour an income tax. But be yond that th.3re was nothing in the shape of a reason for this measure- Sir R. Peel says there is a necessity— without provi nes, it—without proof,-he says he is " con fident " an incom e tax will he the least burthensome— and without p. roof be acids the enormous assertian that it is tae most j one. AIL - this, without .a syllable of reply to the rlyeeted deinenstratians that it is not nece,isary, end it is not : 't jus . S . ,•et pro rotioae Voluntas.

Yes ; the :accessite of injustice ; the tyrant's plea : f eis fitly addressed to a " tyrant majority ;" and it is per fe..ctly understood by them. It will soon be understood by the country ; and th en Sir Robert Peel's " British asses," whose protection he has -reduced in favour of his "colonial asses" with such perfect safety (as we will wirrrant them able to compete with an y o f th e i r species in any ma r k e t o f so; r ittebytt world), will possibly not be c.ble to carry. th e i r - -minister on th e i r b ac k s so triumphantly as he and ! ri4p ey may now anticipate through the. opposition he - as yet to meet- from - public opinion, when fully • awakened to his policy-. STANDARD.—The ex-It linisters have at length fairly disclosed themselves; faithful, if in nothing I'IIE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MARC? 21,. 1842. t else faithful, to the example of the first Whig—they r MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS. resist all means to extract their victim, the The following are the results of " A Table o f M or t a lit y i n : unlucky country, from the dangers and diffi- the Metropolis, showing the Number of Deaths from alt Causes culties into which they themselves have plunged Registered in the week ending March 12, 1842." The Table is i Issued from the Office of the Registrar-General : it, and now they mock at its calamities. This has ever been their policy—they have always made enemies for their country, in order that of those enemies they might make allies of them for their party. 'The ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer opened the opposition to Sir Robert Peel's financial plan in a long and elaborate speech, trying t o defend the policy of the late Administration, and trying to prove that, though the annual deficiency which had been created and left unsatisfied by Laid Ad ministration could not be supplied by any taxes that he might venture to propose, it might be made something less—a noble object for the Finance Minister of Great Britain. Mr. Baring was fol lowed by his successor in office, who did not leave a shred of even his miserable creeping argument unexposed and unrefuted. Lord Ho wick follow ed Mr. Goulburn, and Lord. J. Russell followed / Lord Howick. Then came Sir Robert Peel, who delivered the most vigorous and uncompromising, and therefore the best speech that ever passed his lips. All the arguments of the Opposition speakers have been read a hundred times over in the Oppo sition newspapers, with much, less effect than the speakers last night could have supposed, or they would scarcely have ventured to reproduce them. What these arguments are we need not repeat ; what they leave untouched, and even unap proached, is this—the means by which a financial deficit is to be supplied, concurrently with the honourable and safe prosecution of twe very distant, and therefore most expensive wars, and the mainte nance of that imposing state of defensive preparation at home, by which only an European war and a war with the United States can be possibly avoided. This is what the • speeches of Mr. Baring, Lords Howick and John Russell, do not touch, or even approach ; but this is precisely the legacy which they have left to their successors in office and to the country.

COURIER.—As regards Sir Robert Peel's pro position, the great points for consideration are the taxes he proposes to raise, required by the financial condition of the country, and are they obtainable in a less objectionable form ? No one alive to the dis credit, nay, danger, of permitting the receipts of such a country as this to fall yearly below its expenditure, sensible of the exigencies o f the p u bli c service, and of the indispensableness Of maintaining, in a state of full efficiency and preparedness the 'great defensive establishments of the country, can affect to deny the immediate necessity for an augmentation of revenue that presses upon her Mlljesty's Government. But besides the plea of imperious, irresistible necessity, which cannot be fairly questioned, much less contro verted, another motive impels the Ministry to the adop tion of a property-tax—and one that will, we trust, go far in reconciling the country to the temporary in fliction—namely, an anxious desire to relieve the springs of industry by removing prohibitory, and relax ing restrictive, duties on certain great articles of commerce and consumption. The huge defi ciencies allowed to accumulate during the five last years of the Whig regime, the requirements of the public service, and the important benefits to the trade and commerce of the country, arising from a careful and judicious revision of the tariff, are the grounds upon which Sir Robert Peel and his colleagues rest the justification of the proposed tax, and neither Mr. Baring nor Lord John Russell, neither Mr. Labouchere nor Lord Howick (second Burke though lie be), has yet succeeded in shaking any of th ese . How the country will receive the proposal remains yet to be seen. • LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, M - treh 19. WRIGHT, RIDDULPH, AND CO.'S BANKRUPTCY. This was the sitting for the declaration of a further divi dend under the joint es ate of these bankrupts, and also for the declaration of further dividends under the separate estates of Mr. George Wright Biddulph and of Mr. H. Robinson. Mr. Bagshaw, Barrister, said—Upon the occasion of the "glorious Catholic emancipation" certain parties wished to erect a memorial to his Grace the Duke of Wellington, and subscriptions were entered into for that purpose, tru.tees and secretaries being named for the due apclication of the fund. Mr. J. Wright was the sole surviving trustee, and Mr. J. Ma honey, of Dublin, the sole secretary . M essrs. W r i g h t and Co. were the bankers, and the account stood in their books under the head of " the Wellington Testimonial." The amount sub scribed was 1,4001. to 1,500/., and out of this amount 1,000/. had been laid out in the purchase of Exchequer. bills, while the residue remained in the bank. Upon the failure of the bank, he (Mr. Bagshaw) was instructed by the subscribers to apply to the Court of Review for the appiutment of new trus tees. The Court granted the order, and Mr. Lynch and him self were appointed, and they now applied (as we understood) in that capacity to prove. Mr. Hamilton, for the assignees, objected to any proof. There was no order from the Court of Review to enable them to do so. Mr. Bagshaw—Then it appears you wish the sum to go to the general creditors rather than to those persons who paid the money. Mr: Commissioner HOLROYD said, he had no power to in terfere in the matter. An order must be first obtained trom the Court of Review before the proof could be admitted. Mr. G'eorge Robins applied to the Court to order payment of his expenses from Brighten to attend a summons of tl.ist Court. His claim was 10/., for coach-hire and loss of time. Mr. Hamilton said, he must object to the Court ordering any such amount. He was prepared to show that the time named for Mr. Robins's attendance in this Court was entirely to suit Mr. Robins's own convenience. He (Mr. Hamilton) had sent to Mr. Robins's office in Covent-garden, and was there in formed that he was coming to town to attended a meeting of the shareholders of Drury lane Theatre, and upon this infor mation the summons was issued and left at Mr. Robins's office. Now, if Mr. Robins meant to deny that statement, he (Mr. Hamilton) should be compelled to put him on his oath. Mr. Robins --I should not have come to town on any such wildgoose chase as the meeting of the Drury-lane share holders ; though called to town by your summons, I certainly attended it, and am now ready to make oath that I came to town especially upon your summons. 1 came for that and that only, and you shall pay me for it. Am I not, Mr. Commis sioner, entitled to interest upon my dividend, which has been vexatiously withheld from me for the last six months? Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD said, he certainly could not allow interest on the dividend, but as to the expenses, what ever was the usual allowance made to other gentlemen in like circumstances, he should of course be paid. The Registrar said, the allowance in such cases was one shil ling per mde. Mr. Robins—What? Is. per mile ; is that all I am to get? Surely rive guineas for three days is not too much for any man to charge. Mr. Hamilton must have known chat at the time the summons was served I was at Brighton to sell Lord South ampton's estates. Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD said, the Court could order no more. After other matters of minor importance were disposed of, a dividend of Is. was declared under the joint estate, to pay which it will take nearly 45,0001. Under the separate estate of Mr. G. W. Biddulph a dividend was declared of 45., making a total of 15s. in the pound at present declared, and Mr. H. Robinson's estate will pay 20s. in the pound. The following appear to be costs of working this estate : Official assignee, 5,7201. (3,1001., being for commission or re ceipts amounting to 346,0001., and 2,6201. for commission on paying dividends amounting to 262,0001.) ; solicitor, 1,676/. ; messenger, 377/. ; fee fund, 3861. ;, and auctioneer, 1,6041. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME ClRCUlT.—Maidstone, March 18. ALLHUSON V. STRANGE. (Before Baron ALnEasow, and a Special Jury.) This action was brought to recover the amount of a Bill of . Exchange for 1,0504, accepted by the defendant, and endorsed to one Walter George Turner. The defendant pleaded that no consideration had been given for the Bill ; that it had been obtained by fraud and covin, and other pleas. Mr. PLATT and another appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. THEISGER and Mr. CHAMEEKS for the defendant. Mr. THESIGER addressed the jury at some length, and then calltd Turner, but the judge not considering his evidence ma terial, the jury, under the direction of the court, returned a verdict for the plaintiff (including the bill ;nd interest), for 1,120, POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION- Ho USE. A cab •driver, named Wm. Taylor, was brought before Al derman Farebrother, charged with having whipped to death one of the pigeons which have been accustomed to fly about Guildhall-yard so tamely, and so much to the amusement of the inhabitants. The officer said that the cabmen, who had a stand in King street, were in the habit of cutting down the pigeons with their whips, and pocketing; them when they thought they were un observed by the police. So much disgraceful work of the kind had been done of late by the rascally fellows who were allowed to have the stand close to the Guildhall-yard, that witness de termined to take the first offender in that way into cnstody ; and having seen several cabmen run to take up a pigeon which had just fallen beneath the lash, he apprehended the defendant, who happened to be the lucky picker-up. The poor bird, which was still warm, had the marks of the whip, and the cabmen in sisted that, as the pigeon family had no exact owner, they, as they contributed to the maintenance of the birds, were entitled to any which might die either by accident or violence. Alderman Fisaterinonsea—The pigeons have been kept in the Guildhall-yard for a great many years ; and if any other case of the sort is brought before me, I shall direct a prosecu tion to be instituted by the City Solicitor, for I consider them 1 to be the property of the hall-keeper. 't he prisoner said that he by no means cut down the poor bird, although he admitted it had been flogged to death by some of the fraternity ; but he confessed that he picked it up, an d he thought lie had a better right to it than anybody else, as Ise was in the habit of feeding the whole lot from his horse's nose bag. Al tiermen FAILEBROTIER--S 0 you rob your master's horse to feed the 13 geons, and you steal the pigeons to feed yourself. —(A laugh.) Defendant—No, please your Worship. My horse is used to the poor birds' company, and he has no objec tion to their eatio g along with him. I never used the whip with any on 'em, but as I'm the only ene as gives 'em a morsel of witttes, I thought': I had a right to what the whittles reared when any on 'cm Wei off; but indeed a deceased pigeon is a most as scarce as a dead jackass. Alderman Fantontovuza—The fact is, that if I hear of the repetition of this unworthy conduct, I shall bring forward the, subject in the Court of aldermen, and propose that the stand be removed altogether from the spot. Mi. HOBLEIL said that all the neighbours supplied the pi g eons with food, and were mu c h i n t ereste d i n protect i ng them. The Alderman laving been informed by the policeman that the defendant haci not oeen seen whipping the pigeon, and no proof having been given that he was the actual slaughterer of the poor bird, discharged him. bat with the assuurance that, lightly as the fraternity might think of the offence, the experi ment of a prosecution should be tried in the event of a repeti tion of it.—The d'ead pigeon was then ordered to be delivered up to the hall-keeper. BOW-STREET. William Joseph _brown, a youug man of very respectable appearance, was brought up for final examination, charged with robbing his employers to a very considerable extent, and his mother, Mary Elizabeth Brown, was charged with receiving a. great portion of the stolkm property, well• knowing the same to have been stolen. Mr. Charles Christian, of the firm of Christian and Mat thews, East India and array agents, carrying on business in St Martin's-place, Charing-cross, stated that the male prisoner had been in his service as clerk about eighteen months. On onf Wellingtonthe subject, the 24th of February, witness, in consequence of s o me infor prisoner mation he received, examined his store-room, and missed several_ P; in o boots. and He en q ie u d est a io li ne k d ru:w h - e male he d ledge of them. Witness then sent for the man by whom the boots had been made.. and he, after looking atten tively at the prisoner's feet for some time, expressed his con viction that the prisoner had then on a pair of the identical stolen boots - on which witness desired prisoner to take off his boots, and the maker having examined them, said he could swear positively to them, as being one of the pairs of boots that he had made :or witness. The prisoner then declared that the boots he then wore had been purchased by him at a shop in Ox ford-street; but witness being satisfied with the statement of the boot-maker, sent for a policeman, and gain the prisoner into custody. Witness afterwards accompanied the officers to the male prisoner's lodgings in lisson-grove, and there they found the female prisoner, who stated that she was the mother of the male prisoner, and that he lived there with her. The officer then searche4 the room in the presence of witness, and he found several :uvoices of articles otjewellery made out as if they had been ordered by the witness and his outlier, but which in fact had .not been ordered by them, and of which they knew nothing what ever. The officer also found some property in the room, which had been stolen from his warehouse, which the female prisone r admitted had been brought there by her son. The officer :ilso found three skeleton keys. which, it was subsequently :ascertained, would open nearly all the desks, drawers, &c., in witness's warehouses, and on a, subse quent visit found in a garden at the rear of the house, up wards of seventy duplicates, the greater number of which re lated to property whieth had been stolen from witness. he female prisoner admitts (I, in the presence Of witness, that she had torn up the duplicaees, and afterwards thrown them out of window. Witness, on subsequently examining his stock, i nissed several of the articles named in the duplicates; and els... five .5/. notes of the Bank of England, which had been stolen Croat a book in his iron chest, and which be had deposited in the chest a few days before. Thomas Gundry, a shoeenal , :er, ie St. Martin's-lane, proved that the boots worn bs- the prisoner at the period of his appre hension, were made by him, and part of an order which be had executed for the prosecutor. Charles Roy al, t clerk to the prosecutors, stated that lie bad on the day before the prisce.er's apprehension, deposited the fi 5/. Bank of England notes produced, in the prosecutor's' iron chest. Charlotte Emma Susannah Smith stated that the prisoner had paid his addresses to her f sr some months past, and that the day before he was taken into custody on the present charge he called upon her and gave her five 51. Bank of En g l an d notes, three uf w hi c h she gave baca t o him that evening, and the other two she subsequently gave up, to a policeman.

MONEY MARKET adici CITY NE SUN.—Consols did not leave off so good as on Friday; the fluctuation, however, during the day was not more than a mere fraction. This would appear to indicate, that other em • ployment than trade is required for the investment of spare capital. The last prices were—Consols for Money, 89} a, and 894 buyers for the Account. The transfer books for Bank Stock are at present clo , ed, but sales for the opening have been made at 170 to 171. Exchequer bills, 29 to 31 prem. The same cause which has induced the steadiness in the English Funds has operated unfavourably for Foreign Securi ties. Portuguese Five per Cents. were last quoted at 34* to 344 ; the Three per Cents., 20* to 204 ; Mexican, 4l to 414 ; Colombian, 26i to 26a ; Spanish 241. The e Bond s all p ro f ess to bear interest vary ing from 3 to 6 per cent. per annum, and many years coupons are delivered with them. Thus, a Spanish Bond represents 1001:, the coupons to May in the present year, 27/. 10s., the simple interest upon the dividend, 3/. Bs. 9d., so that fora document representing 1271. 10s., which is owing by the Spanish Government, more than 27/. 17s. 65. can he ob tained, or a trifle below the dividend, the bond being considered as valueless. The price of the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. Stock was 54 ; the Five per Cents. 103 to 103} ; Danish, 81i to 82i. The share market has been somewhat better the demand having been good. Great Western improved to 26, 27 ; the half shares 13* to 4, and Birmingham, 85 87 premium.

PORTUGAL. LISBON, MARCH 14.—After the stirring events which accompanied the restoration of the chaiter, the political horizon has again become as serene and tranquil as the at mos ph ere which is now ushering in the most agreeable of the seasons. The excite ment of a few days has passed away, and, as usual, disci:intent and intrigue begin to assume their pre dominance. The re-establishment of the Tribunal of Coun sellors of the Treasury, a tribunal quite useless un der present circumstances, as it serves only to increase the public expenditure and create a large amount of patronage, has produced great discontent amongst the leaders and followers of the late Chartist movement. It would appear that among the new Counsellors two individuals are particularly obnoxious to the Chartists, one a Dr. Albano, who served under Don Mig ue l, and th e o th er S enor Souza e Azevedo, who also exercised the functions of a magis trate during the usurpation. Of course the Chartists, seeing such men preferred to themselves, begin to be clamorous, and yesterday a rumour was afloat that the Ministry would resign should her Majesty still continue to refuse her sanction to the many decrees for new titles, grand crosses, and stars, to be distributed among the followers of Costa Cabral. The partisans, however, of this hero of the day, through the I influence of the King and Camarilla, succeeded on Saturday in overcoming the reluctance of her Ma jesty, and the decrees, agreeably to the wishes of the present rulers of Portugal, have been signed, and will be published to-morrow. Those who held the titles of Barons to become Viscounts; Baron de Sta. Maria to be Count : and Maximo de Mello, of the late provisional Junta at Oporto, to be Viscount. ~His Excellency the Minister for the Home Department, however, with true " Spartan virtue," declines any participation in these noble spoils. • 1 "In the Council of State on Friday last Baron do Tojal (John de Oliveira), as Minister of Finance, presented the conditions of a new loan of 1,060 contos de reis, contracted for with the Company " Credit° Nacional." This loan is said to be the most onerous ever yet effected, and was strongly opposed by the other Counsellors of State ; but under the plea of dire necessity was acceded to. One of the conditions, it would appear, makes void part of the contracts for the 2,000 contos, decreed by the late Minister Avila to be consolidated from the Foreign Three per Cent. Stock, which did not, as expected, come into the proposed capitalization. Baron de Lagos has been trying, though ineffectually, to bring his proposals to an issue; but if the consoli dation of the proposed 1,000,0001. sterling, with cou pons at a fair rate of exchange, be not approved of in a short period, it certainly cannot take place at all, as by the end of next June another half-dividend will fall due. The sth battalion of Cacadores stationed in the Algarve, of which the late Don Pedro was Colonel, is ordered to the Azores or Western Islands, and some of its officers, who refused even up to the last to proclaim the Charter, are to be placed upon the third section of the army, or non-commissioned-list. Exchange upon London, at 30 days' sight, 531 pence per milrei. The British schooner Alert, Griffin, master, from London to Gibraltar, last from Falmouth, out 20 days, laden with a general cargo of merchandise, put into this port yesterday evening, leaky, and short of provisions, and will probably have to discharge. ELECTION COMMITTEES. GREAT MARLOW. After the examination of several witnesses was concluded, Mr. JAMES replied, and strangers were ordered to withdraw. The Committee decided against the vote, and it was there fore struck off the list. The next vote taken was that of Michael Redmond, objected to on the same ground as the last vote. William Francis examined—Deposed that he appeared before the Revising Ba.rister to object to this vote. It was objected to on the ground that the voter had no residence, but was a servant to Mr. Williams. Mr. Sergeant MERIEWETHEIt took an objection on the ground that there was no proof of the name of the voter having been placed on the list of objections. The Committee took time to consider the objection, and adjourned till eleven o'clock on Monday. WIGAN. After the examination of several witnesses, John Austen was struck off. Edward Beesley, No. 53, was next struck off the roll. It being four o'clock, the Committee adjourned to eleven o'clock on MoDday. The result of the day's sitting left Sir. Cross, the bitting Member, in a majority of two, and Mr. Greenall in a majority of seven. LEWES. The Committee met again en Saturday at 11 o'clock. Mr. TALBOT, on the part of the petitioners, said that it was not their intention, at the present time, to prosecute the inquiry with regard to bribery ; but that he proposed at once to go to the scrutiny. Some consultation then took place among Counsel on both sides, and it was agreed by them that the case should not be proceeded with, and that certain votes be struck off the poll for Messrs. Harford and Elphinstone ' the result of which was that the Hon. Mr. Fitzroy was placed in a majority of one over Mr. Harford. The room was then cleared, and on our re-admission, The CHAIIiMA x read the following resolution, to which the Committee had agreed :—" Resolved, that Summers Harford, Esq., is not duly elected a burgess to serve in this precut Parliament for the borough of Lewes. That the Hon. Henry Fitzroy is duly elected, and ought to have been returned a burgess to serve in the present Parliament for the said borough of Lewes. That. the petition of Edmund Monck and Gabriel Egles does not appear to the Committee to be frivolous or vexatious ; and that. the opposition to the said petition does not appear to be frivolous or vexatious. That the Committee have altered the poll taken at such election, by striking off the nmies of certain parties." The Committee then separated. An aged man, named Orpheus Coote, who was subpoenaed to give evidence in the cause Pepper v. Barnard and Phi!brick. tried at the present Assizes, was on Wednesday morning missed, when the other parties were starting for Chelmsford. Every search was made for him, but in vain, till late in that day, when he was discovered drowned in the pond at Bigod's farm, Mrs. Pepper's estate.—Chamsfoul Chronicle. It is positively said to be the case that the militia of Ireland are to be immediately called into active service, and as soon as the several regiments are reported by the inspecting officer who will be appointed for that duty, to be sufficienty drilled, clothed &c., they will be sent to England and Scotland. It is expected that the volunteers for the line will be sufficient to keep up the army, and the present recruiting system will be discontin u ed.— Waterford Mail. ATMOSPHERIC RAILWAY. Extract from the Report of Sir Frederick Smith and Professor Barlow, to the Earl of Ripon, on the application of the atmospheric principle in producing locomotion on railways : " The experiments which have been tried at Worm wood Scrubs have proved the practicability of giving motion to considerable loads at a maximum velocity of 40 miles per hour. " On the Bth August, 1840, we were present at experiments, when a load of 13 tons was thus pro pelled, and a mean velocity obtained in the first expe riment of 20 miles per hour, and in the second expe riment of between 19 and 20 miles per hour. "On the 12th and 14th of January, 1842, in ac cordance with your Lordship's instructions, we insti tuted certain other experiments, when the maximum velocity obtained with a load of five tons was, in one set of experiments, 26, and in the other set, 40 miles per hour. _ " It is, therefore, as above observed, no longer a question whether trains of carriages may be worked by means of atmospheric pressure ; the points now to be decided are— " Ist. Whether this principle admits of its being advantageously applied to greater distances than half a mile, which is the length of the present experi mental line. " 2ndly. The probable expense of constructing a railway on this principle, and of supplying the loco motive power. • " 3rdly. The relative economy in working such a line, as compared with a railway worked by locomo tive engines. " 4thly. The degree of safety which the atmosphe ric system affords, as compared with other locomotive means." After stating their views on the subject, and de scribing the mode of inquiry, they came to the fol lowing resolutions : " Firstly, That we consider the principle of atmos pheric propulsion to be established, and that the eco nomy of working increases with the length and dia meter of the tube. " Secondly, That the expense of the formation of the line in cuttings, embankments, bridges, tunnels, and rails, will be very little less than for equal lengths of a railway to be worked by locomotive engines, but that the total cost of the works will be much greater, owing to the expense of providing and laying the at mospheric tube, and erecting the stationary engines " Thirdly, That the expense of working a line on this principle, on which trains are frequently passing, will be less than working by locomotive engines, and that the saving thus effected will in some cases more than compensate for the additional outlay ; but it will be the reverse on lines of unfrequent trains. How ever, there are many items of expense of which we have no knowledge and can form no opinion, such as the wear and tear of pistons, valves, &c. ; on these further experience is needed. " Fourthly, That with proper means of disengaging the train from the piston, in cases of emergency, we consider this principle as regards safety equal to that appertaining to rope machinery. There appear, how ever, some practical difficulties in regard to junctions, crossings, sidings, and stoppages at road stations, which may make this system of less general application. " We may add that the atmospheric principle seems to us well suited for such a line as the projected ex tension from Kingstown to Dalkey is represented to be, but we should have been glad if this line had been three miles, instead of only one mile and three-quar ters in length, as it would have then brought this principle to a more complete and decided test.' Two days ago, as a farmer of the environs of Paris was passing through the Rue des Stints-Peres, a chiffonier who had been walking behind him accosted him, and in quired if he had lost anything. The farmer having answered in the negative, the chiffonier presented a piece of paper in the form of a bill of exchange, which he said he thought the farmer had dropped, and observing that he could not read, requested the farmer to read it. He did so, and found it to be a promissory note for 750 francs, payable to bearer, and signed Bruat freres, bankers, Rue Rauteville. The farmer immediately declared that it was his, and thanking the chif fonier offered him five francs as a reward for his honesty. The chiffonier, however, claimed 180 francs, and seizing the farmer by the collar, said that if he did not give it he would take him before the Commissary of Police, who would compel him to pay that sum. The farmer, thinking he would be a gainer of 650 francs by the transaction, and dreading, of course, a hearing before the Commissary, paid the 100 francs, and ran off to the Rue Hauteville to get the bill cashed On his arrival be found, to his great mortification, that he had been duped by the chiffonier, for there was no such banking-house as Bruat freres in th , Rue Hauteville. SOUTHAMPTON, MARCH 18.—The West Indian Company's steamer Isis will convey the Mexican and West Indian Mails from England on the first of next month. She is expected at this port in a few days. The Dee is not yet arrived, al.holigh she has been expected for the last three days. The Great Liverpool will be relieved from quarantine, which she is performing at the Afotherbank, on the 20th inst. She has brought an unusually large number of passengers this voyage. One of the passengers is Captain Gifford, R.N. a gallant and f ortunate young o ffi cer, w h o has been repeatedly praised for his skill and bravery in the Chinese war, in the despatches of the General and Admiral command ing in China Captain Gifford is the son of Admiral Gifford, an old an estimable inhabitant of Southampton. BRISTOL SUGAR-MARKET, MARCH 18.—The stock of raw sugars in first hands is nearly exhausted, and, with the exception of a probable cargo from the Mauritius, we have nothing to look forward to until the next general impart. Sugars, both raw and refired, have advanced 3s. sir:cos our last, but if the official estimate of the present years' import be at all correct, this can only continue till we obtain new arrivals. Bristol Mercurg. On the morning of the 6th inst., writes a corres pondent at Berlin, 18 men b women, and several children, of from 10 to 14 years old,' underwent the ceremony of bap tism by immersion in the Lake of Rummelsburg, about a league from Berlin, although the water was covere d w i t h a t hi n coat of ice, and the wind blew very strong from the nort-east. The ceremony was presided over by M. Lhemann, one of the most celebrated engravers of the Prussian capital, who, during a late visit to London, had been ordained a minister of the Anabaptists. He commenced by . delivering a long discourse on a text taken from the Apocnrypha. The catechumens then retired into two tents, one for the males, the other for the females. There they stripped themselves of all their gar ments, and put on a long , white linen bathing-go wn , i n w hi c h they re-acpeared on the border of the lake, and having bowed to their pastor, plunged into the water. The minister himself, who had alo undressed himself, and put on a black linen gown, followed them into the lake, and submerged each seve ral times. The whole then returned again to the tents, and dressed themselves in their ordinary clothes. The spectators were very numerous. - There is no political news of the slightest interest in the Madrid Journals of the 9th inst. The Castellano gives a proclamation published by General Rail at Victoria on the sth, in which he announces his determination of punishing with great severity all persons attempting to seduce the troops from their fidelity, or otherwise plotting against the Goirern ment. The proclamation offers pecuniary rewards fir the denunciation of such offenders, or the arrest of Spanish re. fugees returning to Spain without permission from the autho rities. A Madrid letter states that a modification of the Spanish Cabinet is generally expected t., take place speedily. A frightful accident occurred in Wombwell's show of wild beasts at Stamford on Friday night last, owing to the indiscretion of a person in a state o(intoxication. About nine o'clock, Mr. Francis Martin, farmer, of Ufford, after being repeatedly cautioned that his teasing a very fine tiger in one of the cages was foolish and dangerous, wa seized by the ani mal, which fixed its terrific teeth in the muscles and bones of the right fore-arm of Mr. Martin. Every effort to compel the tiger to loose its jaws was ineffectual, until a hot iron was applied to it. nostrils, and then Mr. Martin was able to drag himself away, having his arm lacerated and injured so dread t'ully that danger of fatal consequences still exists.--Stamfot , 11:fercury.

Tonp Nicholas, with the fl ag of Rear - Admir al Sir Thomas Cochrane, sailed yesterday evening for China. She is a most splendid frigate, and has an excellent ship's.company, who have only been eight or nine days, from the time she lett the dock in rigging her out from stem to stern. She has a most power ful armament of forty long guns, carrying thirty-two pound. shot, and ten long sixty-eights, mounting altogether fifty-two guns. Her bows are peculiarly built, so that she can fire a bat tery of six guns right a-head. The wind, what little there was of it, was not altogether favourable, so that she will have to beat down channel. The Blazer steam-ship has arrived from the West Indies. She came last from Antigua, where the sickness had abated previous to her departure. The Alban steam-vessel arrived last evening from Plymouth, with volunteers for the Queen, Formidable, Alfred, and other ships at this port. She also brought an officer and some men belonging to her Majesty's ship Rose, on the South American coast,who had been put on board a slaver,captured by that vessel under French coburs, and sent to a French port far condemna tion. These men take a passage in the Alfred to joi n th e i r own ship. When th e Alb an le ft Plymouth, the Hecla steamer had just arrived from the West Indies. The Lightning steamer had also arrived from Woolwich, and the Driver steam-frigate, from this port, on her way to China. The following ships are on their passage home to Eng land :—The Ganges, 84, Captain B. Reynolds, C.B. ; Ben bow, 72, Captain H. Stewart, C.B. ; Gorgon, steam-trigate, Captain W. H. Henderson, C. 8., and Wasp, 16, Commander Hon. H. A. Murray, from the Mediterranean. The Larne, 18, Captain J. P. Blake, Sulpher, surveying vessel, Captain E. Belcher; and Starling, surveying -vessel, Commander H. Kellett, from the East Indies. The President, 50, Captain W. Broughton, with the flag of Rear-Admiral C. D. H. Ross, C. 8., from South America; and the Racer, 16, Com mander T. Harvey, from North America and the West Indies. In addition to the numerous steam-frigates at. present in commission, there are nineteen new ones now building at the various dockyards—the Cen taur, Beelzebub, Thunderbolt (recently launched), and Scourge, at Portsmouth ; the Bulldog, Rocket, and Virago, at Chatham ; the Cormorant, Rattle, and Ruby, at Sheerness ; the Infernal, Gladiator, Sampson, and Spynx, at Woolwich ; the Inflexible, Janus, Spitfire, Sydenham, and Vultu re , a t Pem broke. The Thunderbolt is now completely rigged, and will sail in the course of the week for Glasgow, to be fitted with her engines. The Alfred, 50, Commodore Purvis, has had the defect in her rudder made good, and is now ready to sail. She urn leave this in the course of the week for the Brazils. The Carysfort, 26, Capt. Lord. George Poulett, is 'expected to go out of harbour this afternoon. Vice-Admiral Sir Edward Owen, K. C.B. , has re-hoisted his flag (red at the for.) in the Queen, 110, Captain Rich, which. ship has been paid the usual wages, and, wind permitting, will. sail on Thursday for Malta, calling at Gibraltar. Among the supernumeraries is Lieutenant George Caswell, to join the Gorgon,steam-chip. It is reported that the Impregnable, 104, will return home on the arrival of the Queen at Malta. The Formidable, 84, Captain Sir Charles Sullivan, Bart., has been paid wages, and is ordered to sail for the Mediterranean, as soon as the wind will allow, to supply the place of the Ganges, 84, on her way home to be paid off. The Resistance, 42, having been converted into a troop ship, has been commissioned at Plymouth by Commander C. P' atey, late of the Powerful, and is to have 118 men, with the arma ment of a sloop of war. There is a report that the Powerful, 84, is to be commis- j slimed here by Captain N. Lockyer, C.B. ; but it is wholly without foundation. The Crocodile, 26, recently returned from the West Indies, is re-commissioned at Plymouth to convey troops to China, by Mr. James Elson, master, late of the Victory. The troop-ship Athol, 30. Mr. Bellamy, master, command ing, is in the harbour from Barbadoes, having run down a col lier brig off the Lizard, and damaged her bows and sides. She brought home naval and military invalids, and is refitting for :oreign service. The Hecla and Blazer steamers, with the Vestal, 26, are ordered home from the West India station. The Owen Glendower, frigate, is shortly expe c ted h er e from Chatham on h er way to (iibralcar, where she will lie as a convict ship. The Winchester frigate has been taken into dock for Rear- Admiral Percy's flag, having been previously commissioned by Captain Charles Eden. The New regulations relative to the Pursers of the Navy take effect from the Ist April next; one shilling per diem ad ditional to the half-pay, and the title of Paymaster, with sun dry other alterations not yet officially promulgated. The proposed commissariat system has been oeclined. AT SPITHEAD.—Queen, 110, (Formidable, 84, Alfred, 50, and Vindictive, 50.

OPINIONS OF T E COUNTRY PRESS. • (Frozli t•he Scotsman.) linarmitd sri;lerne, the eotWnod product of The 7,ranl • , Tory skill, the fruit of six months' gestat:oli, is at I`ll ., before us, in the shape of—an income tax ! ! The void in the Treasury which the Whig Ministers would have supplied by abating the existing monopolies of corn, sugar, timber, and other articles, without laying an ad ditional burden of one shilling upon the country, fur nishes occasion, in the hands of the Tory Government, for the imposition of a tax, the most repugnant to the habits and feelings of a free people—a tax so odious, so inquisitorial, and oppressive, that statesmen of all parties have hitherto regarded it as a resource to be reserved for some great exigency, such as a war which threatened our, national existence. The miserable mockery, pre sented to us under the name of a Corn-bill, led us to anticipate something'bad enough in finance ; but we were not prepared—and the country certainly was not pre pared—for anything so monstrous as this. - (From the Glasgow Chronicle.) To the principle of an income tax, the people of this Country have a strong, and, as we think, a just, repug nance, both on account of its inquisitorial character, and its unequal operation. To tax a man who derives two or three hundred pounds a year from trade, or in the form of an annual payment for his services, to the same extent as a man who draws the same income from land or other stable property, is obviously unjust. The latter is a far richer man than the former, yet he pays no more. The principle of paying according to ability is quite lost sight of. (From the Brighton Guardian.) And now let us ask our readers what they think, in a period of peace, of an income tax of 7d. in the pound ? We regard this whole scheme of income tax as the necessary consequence of the Corn-law, and a mere de vice to raise the revenue of the country by taxing the people, instead of raising it by setting trade and industry free. We consider Las a great blow to future prosperity. A tax which falls so heavily as nearly three per cent. on the profits of trade and on the incomes of all the middle classes will in reality go a considerable way towards crippling their means of consumption and of saving, It will tend to arrest the increase of employment. Let it be always remembered that the addition to our burdens is the price we Day for Corn-laws and the ascendancy of Sir Robert Peel. A reformed Parliament, under a Tory Premier, laying on an income tax in peace will be a phe nomenon in history and moral science. (From the Bristol Gazette.) We are not old enough to remember the practical grievances and annoyances experienced under the former imposition of this tax, but the slightest reflection on the subject must show that of all direct taxation it is the most unjust, and to the feelings of Englishmen, most ab horrent in its prying inquisitorial character. The visits of a tax-gatherer, whether for state ar local burdens, are never of a particularly gratifying description ; but to have a pert official poking his nose into every man's ledger,inspecting his private cash-book, exposing his business to his neighbours and rivals in trade, extorting an extra per tentage from him on the twitting plea that Mr. So and So, in the same line, conducts a more profit able concern—is an unbearable intrusion, only to be re sorted to in the case of the last necessity: And the in justice of the scheme is palpably apparent. (From the Bury Post.) The Minister has recurred to that tax which the "im patience" of the country shook off at the close of the war, and proposes to renew it in all its odious features of in quisitorial and unequal assessment. The professional man and the tradesman, whose laborious avocations bring them in an income under any circumstances precarious, and which death may annihilate to-morrow, are to pay precisely the same tax as the owner of a landed estate or investm en t i n th e f un d s yielding an equal amount of income. But these are not the greatest ob jections to the tax upon incomes ; the intolerable evil is its inquisitorial character, and its tendency to encourage deception. "It is," as Mr. M'Culloch describes it, "a tax upon honesty, and a bounty upon perjury and fraud." The conscientious will pay the tak on the full amount of his profits ; the man of "easy virtue" will pay just as little as he thinks he can induce the commissioners or inspectors to be satisfied with. It is in vain to talk of it as a temporary enactment. Let the tax be once laid on, and we shall have no hope of living to see it removed. (From the Cambridge Advertiser.) It has been held, and we believe justly held, by the ablest political economists, that a tax of this nature can be justified only by urgent and extreme necessity. It is impossible to adjust it in such a manner that it shall not press upon many individuals with harsh and unequal severity. And if that necessity arise, it would for many reasons be the best and fairest way to tax property ;,nly, and not the profits arising from trade or professional exertions, at least nut to tax the latter to the same amount as the former. Taxation should be regulated by the principle that the relative condition of the parties. upon whom taxes are imposed, should not be at all changed by their im position. No one would venture to assert that the pro posed, income tax will stand this test. It is, therefore, founded on the grossest injustice, and Sir Robert Peel may be assured that, unless he make some great altera tions in the details of his plan, he will create throughout the country a feeling of indignation whieh no Minister can withstand. (From the Tyne Mercury.) We thought the day had gone by when such a vile imposition as . that bearing, the name of income tax would ever again be laid upon the people of Great Britain. Those who remember the character given to this tax just before it was abolished, after the last war with France, will be of the same opinion with ourselves. It was then designated as the most odious, abominable, inquisitorial, and unconstitutional of' imposts. It Was proved to be so from the injury it produced to trade— from the shameful intrusion it caused upon the privacy of business—from the troubles and vexations which it brought upon . great numbers of persons of variable means, or of hardly any means, though they endeavour to keep up a respectable appearance. An income tax, modified as Sir Robert proposes, will at the present time be one of the most unpopular, as well as unprofitable, taxes that could be imposed. We hope this proposal of Sir Robert's will be universally scouted. We cannot think it will be carried, when it was thrown out in one of the most rotten Tory Houses of Commons that ever existed. (From the Wilts Independent.) Had Sir Robert Peel wished to have acted fairly by the people in proposing an income tax, he i'vould have made the per centage increase gradually with the amount of income; in this way the rich would have been made to contribute their fair proportion and to have borne that share which equal taxation would impose. As usual, the weakest go to the wall. There are other and grave ob jections to any income tax. Independently of the vexa tions and heart-burnings which its collections must cause, and which were so severely felt as to induce the people almost with one voice to demand its repeal when it before existed, there is this objection, that it deals precisely the same with the man whose income is the fruit of his in dustry only, as with him whose income arises from the rent of an estate, or the interest of money placed out on any security. This is not right. (From the Devizes Gazette.) T hat a tax of three per cent. will be severely felt by per sons of small income, and that it will bear much harder on those .who derive their incomes frOm the exercise of laborious trades and professions, than on those who de rive it from the rents or annual proceeds of property, cannot be denied: This is a great, and to some extent (we fear) a necessary evil. Still, however, something may be done to mitigate it; and, when we come to be in formed of the details of the measure, we shall probably find that something has been done for this purpose. We shall be very glad to see the measure fully and minutely discussed, in order that it may be rendered as unexcep tionable as possible. • (From the Nottingham Review.) At this period, when trade is depressed and commerce paralyzed, when bankruptcies and insidvencies.abeund, whgn the closing of shops, the half-working of mills, and the loud wailings Of the unemployed artizans, conjoin in attesting the severe pressure upon commercial transac tions— when the country is looking out for relief from the heavy burdens which oppress it, Sir Robert Peel announces in the House of Commons his intention to propose an income tax The Tories have been restored to power, to impose a galling and inquisitorial income tax upon the country ! The shopkeepers and manufac turers instead of having the re li e f of a c h ea p l oa f, are to feel the weight of additional burdens, and to mar! it the more, every farmer whose rent is less than 3001. is to be excused from paying any income tax ! This is to mon strous insult to the commercial classes; they asked bread, and the landlords' Government gives them a stone. (From the Dublin Pilot.) No man can now talk of Peel's wise and just plan, without proving himself very silly or very dishonest. The first bait for catching minnows thrown out by this political impostor and knavish man, was, the name of " income taxes." This tax was associated at once in the public mind with bearing heavy on large, arid light on small properties—with throwing burdens on real pro perty, and relieving industry from now intolerable bur dens ; but judge what is felt of the tax now, when it is found to be taxing the property of a man of 1501. per annum equally in proportion with a man of 150,000/. when it is found to tax income obtained by hard earning as well as that enjoyed in idleness, and instead of reliev ing manufacturing industry, adding to the ruinous pres sure upon it. An income tax is no relief under such cir cumstances—it is wanton violation of principles of free dom—inquisitorial, unequal, and relieving no class, while oppressing many. (From the Sherborne Journal.) WE MUST PAY roil. PEEL.— After all the expenditure of money and ill feeling which was engendered by the last general election, what has been obtained ? The 'substitution of one ministry for another —the placing of Sir Robert Peel on the Treasury Bench instead of Lord John Russell. Now we can calmly ask landoWners and farmers, whether they expected any such measure as the amended sliding scale for corn, and a tax of 3-Ad. in the I/. on the rental paid for their estates ? And we may also take leave to ask the monied and mercantile interest, how they will like to hand over to the tax gatherer 30/. for every 1,000/. per annum of their in comes ? and, at the same time, we may remind the clergy and the other professions that they will not be exemp;, after next October, from this heavy additional claim on their incomes. (From the Manchester Times.) THE DOUBLE-FACED LANDLORDS.—WhiIe the object was to defend the Corn-law, the farming interest was so immense that all other interests must be taxed for its especial benefit ; but when there is, a new tax ti , be laid of 3,775,0001, the legislating landlords discover that their tenants can contribute no More than 150,000/., or one twenty-fifth part of the whole ! (From the Manchester Guardian.) PROPOSED REDUCTION OF THE COFFEE DUTIES. — The alteration of the coffee duties which Sir Robert Peel proposes is of such a nature as to offer very little benefit to th e consumer, while it is l i ke l y to en tail a con siderable lo ss on the r e venue. He proposes to reduce th e • luty on colonial coffee from 6d. to 4d. per lb. Will the coa st:filers reap any benefit from ;ha; Ot ill the lea,t. Tao rd : - v;?ntie .A 4 1 ,/ ; Lilt!

If any evidence were wanted to show that t t es will be the practical result of the new scheme of it may be found in the fact, that, as soon Peel's proposed plan became known in the L . too Inr i : market, an immediate rise of ss. 6d, per cwt. on British coffee, while foreion remained witllt'ovt. provement.
