After a short debate, last night, Mr. THOMAS DUN coxnes motion, to bring up a petition against the in come tax, was lost by only a majority of one. That is tanta mount to defeating Sir R. PEEL. Of course all the Ministers and all the placemen voted for his pro position:l arbitrarily- to reject the petitions of the people, and they ought, according to the logic of the Tory press, when the Whigs were in office, to 'be subtracted from his majority. Supposing that they amounted to 20, Sir ROBERT, PEEL and his friends were virtually left in a minority. of 10, in a House of 418 inde pendent Members. • The numbers were 221 and 222, and subtracting 20 front the latter for the Ministers and their subs., the Tories were 19 fewer than their oppo nents. That is, in fact, a great victory achieved in the cause of the people. Honour to the independent Member for Finsbury ! We are happy to see that this contest is to be renewed. Mr. COOPER gave notice that he would to-day present a petition on the income-tax. 3lr. T. DUNCOMBE told Sir ROBERT PEEL that he would have to fight the same battle day after clay, and day after day will business be delayed, and Sir ROBERT PEEL disgraced. "It was his intention," said. Mr. T. DUN COMB; "to do everything in his power to break •down, if possible, the unconstitutional barrier which Wad been interpesed between the people and their in 2A:enable right to petition the House against a tax." He will remove that barr:er, and Sir H. PEEL will find that his cunning and his arbitrary proceedings have only roused against him the straightforward honesty of the people. In the" speech which In, delivered in defence of abro gating the I.:gilt to petition, he talked of cases "of int miment war::, in which it would be absolutely necessary to raise immediate supplies for the public service." But when did such cases arise anti find the people backward in supporting the Government? In 1798 the wants of the Government were partly supplied by a voluntary loan. His remark shows the impropricty•of his whole measure, He brings forward, in time of 'quietness, when there is anything but enthusiasm abroad in favour of the Go vernment, a scheme of faxAtion which requires, accord ing to his statement, the imminent danger of war, to justify the practise he is obliged to have recourse to, in order to get it passed. He stands self-condemned. The result must be to secure for the people the right to petition against the income tax, and as Sir ROBERT PEEL says, that they are in love with it, that they wish to have an inquisition into their private affairs, we trust that they will, by numerous petitions, undeceive him, aud convince him that he never in his 1 ife made a more glaring mistake. Society is in commotion: — Whatever may be said by the Tory journals, it is agitated to its very core. Ere while we heard only of Chartists and Anti-Corn Leaguers, with now and then a canting note from Exeter Hall, a little Anti-Roman Catholic brawling from Sunday pul pits, and a little mutual whining of the Churchites and the Puseyites. None of that agitation is stilled or lessened, it is only obscured and lost amidst the greater agitation about pecuniary and personal matter which pervades the land from Inverness to Cornwall. The Chartists, partly merged in the complete suffrage society, far from' diminishing, are increasing their exertions, with a growing prospect of success. Mr. STU ROE and his friends are warmly taken up by nearly half the provincial papers of England and Scot land. The other part of the Chartists, encouraged by Sir R. PEEL, having " entered the wedge" into cur in stitutions, are more strenuous than ever ; and, though they have lost in numbers, they have not abated in energy. The Corn-law League has received for the moment a new direction ; its power has been wonderfully in creased, and its arguments driven home by the concession of many of its principles, and by the proposition of an income tax to maintain the corn and sugar monopolies. But, while all that was before agitated is now more vehemently agitated than ever, a great many new elements of agitation have been added. The agricultu rists are everywhere in motion. So agitated the com munity has net been since the period of the Reform Bill, and for thus disturbing all the interests of the empire, never again, wo believe, to settle down into quietness till great changes have been effected - the Conserva tives—how unworthy of the name !—have to thank themselves, and to thank their great Leader. lie wanted power, and they wanted places. Instead, therefore, of patriotically meeting the proposition of the Whigs to increase the revenue by extending trade, and abating certain . monopolies ; instead of wisely meeting the wants and the demands of the age ; making some little sacrifices in time, and modifyin g , if they did not exactly like, the Whig measures, the Conservatives, with the most blind greediness and ambition, profited by the opportunity to unite the selfi shmonopol;.sts in one great league against till improver 'lent, and succeeded in turning out the Whigs. A continually declining trade, and a not increasing revenue—in spite of the Chinese booty—during the nine months the Tories have been in o ce, have adde greatly to the embarrassment of the Government and the distress of the people, Of that vast mischief Sir Rointra PEEL was the prin cipal author. Revolutionists wol bless him—of the Con servatives he has been the organ,and they have no right to cum him. Sensible of part of the mischief he pro moted, and thinking at the same time wholly of the Government ; concluding, that if it were strong and powerful, society would be prosperous —for, in his theory Government and society are identical —h e has now made a desperate plunge at the prop erty of the people. He h as propoeed an income tax, and redisibuted the tariff. lie has, to a certain extent, of his own will, made a new distribution of the property of the people. He has juggled with the interests of th•• timber merchants, the farmers, the glovers, and the leather dealer s ; an d he has at once broken up all the tipper strata o f soc i ety, that were before compact and united, to a considerable degree, in order to keep the meeses below them quiet. th B inceate tax and his tariff, the one the suggestion of his despair, the other the consequence of principles which he has denied, but which were more powerful than the strong Government of Sir ROBERT PEEL, ate the opening of two great leaks into the aristocracy, - which are already letting in the oozing waters of the vast surrounding, levelling, and absorbing dcn'oeracy. • • - '• • Such is already the work of Sir R. PE/ a. The com • I? * 4 iitt 54 . .. 1 / 4 -.' -; • - ,- --,, , 7 , .i I f+ ~ , r m .t- - .Noi • . V qtg m3tion in society is the consequence of his insincerity and his ambition. To gratify the latter he denied and resisted, year after year, those principles to which in his tariff he is compelled to do homage. His insincerity, his pretended continual anxiety to protect agriculture, is one of the main causes why that spirit of monopoly has been nursed amor gst the agriculturists into a strength which is now dangerous for him. It was ambition made him put an end to the means of improv ing the revenue which the Whigs proposed, in order to put himself and his friends in their places , and the nine months' delay has made the necessi ties of the Government overwhelming. But though he has been goaded by, by his own fault, into the commission of,a great folly, the nation must not be injured. It is re solved, we believe, to have no income tax, because it is sensible that such a tax is. too high a price to pay for the best Government that ever existed in the world, and an exorbitant price to pay for a Government of arbitrary Tories and selfish Monopolists. The income tax and the tariff are obvionsly parts of the same scheme, by the whole of which Sir R. PEEL says he will stand or fall. Those who, like the farmers at Grimsby, hate the tariff, and also hate the income tax, ought to petition agaillst both. Those who, like the Anti-Corn-leaguers, and all the shopkeepers of the em pire, hate the income tax, ought also to hate the tariff. Though Sir R. PEEL holds it out as a bribe, it is no com pensation whatever for his proposed tax, and those who hate the latter, ought to spurn the former. All honest men ought to reject and oppose both ; because, the whole scheme of tax and tariff is brought forward in a Machia vellian spirit of dividing to govern. Sir R. PEEL'S plan proceeds on the principle of bribing one class to act against another. It sows dissension in society ; it sets nian against man. It pretends to offer the middle classes as a sacrifice to the lower classes, the farmers to the manufacturers, the manufacturers to the landowners —and so through every part of society. It seems to us a devilish scheme, the appropriate offspring of the Devil's laws ; which should be resisted in toto. The scene displayed at 13tiekingliam Palace on Satur day was one of the most remarkable of the prei - ent day. A Catholic Lord Mayor of Dublin, accompanied by numerous Members of the Corporation, by a Catholic Chaplain, and by many officers of State, were admitted to the presence of a Protestant Sovereign, delivered a dutiful and loyal address, and were warmly congratulated by our gracious QUEEN on their faithful attachment to her person and family. This is an awful innovation for the bigots to contemplate, and sufficient almost to make the bones of Lord GEORGE GORDON, and of all the valiant Protestants of 1780, shake in their graves. It will excite dire alarm among the 11PGHEES, the O'SumavAxs, and all the Orangemen of the North of Ireland. Exeter. hall, next month, will ring again with denunciations against the Popish intrusion, and the King of HANOVER, we fear, will notsurvive the hateful event for even six months. Saturday, indeed, was a ter rible day for a certain class of Christians, and will long be remembered in the annals of the country; but whilst they mourn, millions will rejoice. They will rejoice to see our beloved Sovereign welcoming to her presence her faithful subjects of all sects, encouraging them to unanimity, and by her manner, as well as her words, calling upon them to cast off their uncharitable preju dices, and live in peace like children of the same family. ller example will be followed by all the great and good of the land. In Ireland such impartial conduct will produce the best results. All that the people of that country wanted was fair play?; they wished to be placed on a footing with their fellow-subjects in Britain ; they laboured for this in season and out of season, sometimes by petition, and not unfrequently by deeds of rebellion ; and when their gallant spirit thus manifested itself against the most cruel oppression that ever afflicted a nation, they were described by their masters as a turbulent, lawless, and blood-thirsty race, as unfit to be trusted with the rights of freemen, and ever and anon some new Bill was passed to check what was called their rebellious disposition, and reduce them to the very lowest depths of slavery. Their conduct for the last few years has completely falsified these ungenerous and wicked accusations. The change that has taken place in the country since they were treated like rational beings, has been the most remarkable on record, and does the highest honour to them as a nation. Ireland for some time has been the most peaceable portion of the British dominions. And why ? Because the Irish now have confidence in the protec tion of the law, they receive equal favour at the hands of the Sovereign with the rest of her people, and are anxious to show by their deeds that they are both grateful and. loyal. Let the Tories, for their own sake, if for no other reason, adhere to tho wise policy which has effected such a beneficial change ; let them administer even handed justice to Catholics and Protestants, complete the union of the two countries' by granting them equal laws and equal privileges, and Ireland, from being for hundreds of years a thorn in the side of England, will form the best guarantee for the security and independ ence of the empire. The Government can adopt no measure better calcu lated to neutralize the unpopularity of adding largely to the taxation of the country, than the increase of the steam naval power of England. Sacrifices which would be tolerated for no other purpose, are readily and even cheerfully made by Englishmen when they are demanded t o make the nation powerful and respected at sea. Reports are in circulation that the Tory Government proposes to turn this popular feeling to proper account. The augmentation of our Navy is seriously contem plated, and we learn with pleasure that more regard will he paid to the construction of war steamers than to any other class of vessels. We quoted in another part of The Sun, from the Mechanics' Magazine, a description of the largest steam frigate in the world, now ordered to be built at Chatham Dock yard. Our Contemporary states that this wonder of the deep " will be 650 horse-power ; have engine room for 600 tons of fuel ; stowage under hatches for 1,000 troops with four months' stores and provisions, independently of a crew of 450 men ; and to carry 20 guns of the heaviest calibre, besides carronades." A dozen such floating islands of destruction as this would add more to the naval power of the country than forty sail of the line. Nor would the expense be so considerable as may at first appear. For the construction of the one now about to be built, the Penelope, a forty-four gun frigate, is to be cut in two, and fifty-five feet added to the whole length. Now we have an abundance of nearly useless ships of the line and frigates in port and afloat, which could be very well turned into excellent steamers, such as are most wanted on the coast of China, and such as we should assuredly most want were we ever to be so unfortunate as to be driven to engage in a war with France cr the United States. We o hall return to this subject. The Madrid Journals received are to the 3d instant, but they contain no news of interest although both Chamlmrs were sitting. The Five per Cents, were done at - Madrid on the 2d instant for 294 cash, and 294 at GO days. There was much business done in the Three per Cents., to the amount of 44,000,000, at 223 23. The French Minister of War has received the news of another engagement between the French and A BD-EL KADErr in Africa. The form of its conveyance is a despatch from General BUGEA UP, inclosing a report from Gendal BEDEA I, dated the 22d ult., from Hanaya, where that officer bivouacked. After putting the Arabs to flight General BuGEAUD appends to the report, which we here subjoin, an announcement that lie had ordered the 2d battalion Zouaves to reinforce General BEDEA U. The following is the report : Abd-el-Kader came down yesterday near to Tlemcen with upwards of 1,500 cavalry, and 3,00 foot of the tribe of Beni Hussen. According to accounts from the prisoners, other cor.tingents of the Beni Hussens were on their way to join him, but stopped near the Tafna. I was on my march to El Bridj, where, on the' preceding day, the Douyain were beaten, when about nine o'clock I was informed of the appear. ance of two considerable bodies of troops in the direction of Hanaya and Saffaif. We at first met a party of between 600 and 700 of the Beni Hussens, of whom we killed seventy, and took fifteen prisoners. We were obliged to give up the pursuit of the rest in order to move in the direction of the Sicka. Abd-el-Kader was retiring by the valley of this river, carrying with him, it is said, some cattle.

The regular cavalry, to the number of about 200, alone kept up the tight with inveteracy, and thus had three sciafa and more than 15 horses killed, besides more than 40 more men certainly ei he killed or wounded. The coming on of night permittedthe main body of the column to reach the Oued-Zeytorne, without being touched by the columns of the convoy which advanced upon it. Although we hid marched nearly twelve leagues during the day, I loft the bivouac of Hanaya at two in the morning with two thousand men, without their havresacks, hoping to find Abd-el-Kader at Sidi- Brahim, but he had taken advantage of the night to remove notwithstanding the great fa. tigue of his men. This day the horsemen who have rejoined the camp found several dead bodies and horses, and a quantity of ' havresacks abandoned by the Beni Hussens. Idu not think I exaggerate in estimating at 150 the number of men lost by the enemy. It is probable that this essay will disgust the Morocco tribes, but you will doubtlessly think it necessary to prevent the renewal of similar attempts. I have had four men killed, amongst whom is Captain Guide, adjutant-major of the 10th battalion of foot chasseurs, and 24 wounded, amongst whom is M.TBhae Qdi u ch e u r o , t i en n e, h sub-lieutenant teF of the , 10th regiment. and that ABD-EL-KAD ER would have b the d is S p i o ec s i e e d , contend long THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL I`2, J 842 ago but for the old obstacle to all French bUCCOSS—Eng land., We are at work it scents everywhere, and the Court of the Emperor of Monocco is as much our tool as the Court of Delhi or Lahore. We make slaves of one half the world and tools and fools of the alter half. So affirm the French Opposition journals. The Debate. which speaks the language of the Court, commenting on the news from Africa, says:— Three interesting facts are thus proved by the last official dispatch from Algeria. In the first place the General was not surprised by Kader, as was at first said from Oran, for he marched rapidly against the Emir. But the Arab chieftain rendered the movement fruitless, by falling sud denly on the territory of Tlemcen, whilst the General was acting in quite a different direction. Secondly—lf he was staff ciently strong with 2,500 French troops, Mustapha's Douaira, and the allied Goums (the contingent) to attack the Emir as he has just done, and to beat him with three battalions only, it does not follow that he 'was powerful enough to cover all the country against the invasion of the Morocco tribes, fanati cised and excited by Abd-el-Kader. And lastly,—the difficulty of his position is sufficiently proved by the double reinforce ment which was sent him by General Bugeand who detached from Tlemcen a battalion of his own expeditionary column, ordering at the tame time General Lamorieiere to send to the same place one of the battalions from the division of Mascara. The plan of Abd-el-Kader is to intimidate the tribes, and to detach them from us by the perpetual threat rf an invasion- Ile desires to show them that he is still formidable, still a Sul tan, still ready to fall on them in order to punish their infide. lity, and that the French will never be able to defend them from attacks as rapid as unexpected. We always said that he would often re-appear, and fora long time to come he will re. appear. like Jugurtha, in spite of atl his defeats. But at last Jugurtha was destroyed, and we shall kno* how to imitate the peseverance of the Roma 3S. Tim recent defeat of the Government candidate at Metz, is quoted by the Opposition papers as a proof of what the liberal electors might effect were they only to act in concert. That, however, they will not do. The Opposition in France has no trustworthy head, and is totdlly without proper organization. Marie Martha Leduc, grand-niece of Pierre Corneille, the Shakspeare of France, died in Paris on the 9th instant. She served as a cook in the family of Madame Dumont, and vene rated," says the Presse, .* in the simplicity of her heart, the name of Ler grand-uncle, whose masterpieces she admired without having ever read them." A Vienna later of the 30th ult., in the Gazette of Upper Germany, announces the departure of the son of Don Francisco de Paula, without having been presented, notwithstanding a residence of four months in the city, to the Imperial family. The same letter states that Prince Nicholas Esterhazy and the Princess were expected at Vienna from London, and that Prince Paul Esterhazy, father of Prince Nicholas, , intends to retire from public Lie, and fix his residence at Vienna, after having visited London to take leave of Queen Victoria. It appears that the explanations given yesterday to the Com.. mittee on the Budget, by the Minister of Marine and M. 'l'upinier, Director of the. Ports, that, by means of a credit of 91,923,000 francs, the Government will maintain first, the artillery and infantry serving alternately in the seaports at home and beyond sea, on the.r present footing of 20,302 men ; and secondly, either at sea, in port, ready for sea, or laid up, 158 vessels, consisting of 20 ships of the line, 12 frigates, and 38 war• steamers. Of this naval force, having in officers and crews 28,350 men, 140 vessels are to be fully fitted out, 4 placed in readiness for sea, and 14 laid up in ordinary; but the greater part of the latter are ships et the line, and it is •on this point that discussion chiefly arose in the Committee. The Queen held an Investiture of the Crder of the Garter on Monday at Buckingham Palace, at which hits Grace the Duke of Buckingham was invested with the Order of the Garter. A similar honour was conferred by the Queen upon Lord Salisbury, and after wards upon the Duke of Cleveland. His Grace the Duke of Wellington and several other Knights of the Garter, and also his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam brige, assisted at the ceremony. The Lord Mayor and Corporation of London afterwards presented an Address to her Majesty against the Corn-laws. - - MONEY and COMIIIERCIAL NEWS CITY, MONDAY EVENING.

The foreign letters have been confined to that portion of the Overland Mail from India which comes by the way of Fal mouth. The more important part of these appeared in Thi Sun some days since, having been received via Marseilles. The improved culture of cotton, by the introduction of seed from America and Mexico, appeared to engage a large portion of the puqlic attention ; and although hitherto the experiments had not been so eminently successful as many sanguine persons had hoped, still sufficient had been accomplished to prove that ultimately East India Cotton would he so improved as to super sede the coniumption Amarican cotton in the country to a great extent. The details furnished by these papers are of much interest, and will form the subject of a future article. (From The Sun or Last Night.)

Mercantile letters from the manufacturing districts give rather snore favourable accounts of the state of trade. The reduction in the rate of interest, it is supposed, has caused the improvement,the demand for goods being better, although the advance in prices is but small. It will be necessar) to observe much caution ir. financial operations connected with the country, lost an undue amount of speculation be encouraged, in preference to exertions for restoring trade to that healthy state from which it has so long been removed. The dividend upon the New Spanish Three per Cent. Stock has been paid to-day, accordin g t o promise. This is the first Spanish promise, connected with financial affairs, which has been kept t..r a number of years, and it is mach is be feared it will be the last, for a period at least as long as that which has already elapsed, that can be fulfilled. With a re venue scarcely equal to one-half the expenditure, and the obli gation of borrowing year by year to meet the deficiency, it is not to be expected that the interest on the foreign debt can be paid, however desirous the Members of the Spanish Government may be to endeavour to preserve the national faith. And, although in this solitary instance, that which was promised has now been;fulfilled, forme) Ministries have appeared to be anxious only to discover how much they could dupe their victims who, unfortunately, lent their money. lhis payment is certainly something for the bondholders, hie before purchases of these documents be made, in the expecta tion that the dividends will continue punctually to be met, it must be remembered that the finances of that country have. for a number of years, been in a state of hopeless ina.l - that for five years and a half not a sixpence has been remitted to this country tow ardsliquidating nearly 10,000,000 i. of interest, and that the money now being distributed has beer borrowed after long and protracted negotiations, and the re signation of finance agents, and refusals from others to under take the office.

The Courrier de la Gironde of the sth inst. publishes a letter from the delegates of the Sugar Committee of Bordeaux, giving an account of their reception by the King. They state that the King appeared to be deeply impressed with the com plaints of the delegates, and of the Deputies of the Gironde, who accompanied their, relative to the perturbation caused by the postponement of.the sugar bill, but observed that he could only repeat the motives assigned by his Ministers for the post ponement, at the same time confirming the promise made by them to present a bill at the commencement of the next session. A body of forty linen -manufacturers waited last week upon the President of the Council and the Ministe:s of Commerce and Finances, and represented to them, that more than a third of the manufactories were standing still, and that the linen trade was in a melancholy position. They in consequence asked for an increased protecting duty of 10 per c, nt. on cloth, and 15 per cent. on thread, imported from England. The President of the Council and his two colleagues promised to do all in their power to meet the views of the linen trade, after the close of the se:sion. The same manufacturers afterwards proceeded to the Chamber, and obtained a promise of support frdm several Deputies, particularly MM. Victor Lilrandin and Darblay. The French Society for the Abolition of Slavery have come to a resolution to give their sanction to the Government Bills now before the Chambers, relative to forced expropriations in the colonies, and to the attributes of the Colonial Councils, as being a trausition from slavery towards abolition. • The seventh anniversary of the birth of the Duke of Bra bant, heir-presumptive to the Throne of Belgium, was cele brated on Saturday by a grand military review. There were to be p omotions in tile army, and the infant hero of many well scratched nurse-faces was to receive his first commission. Princes are all horn - wise and warlike, and are legislators and soldiers as soon as they have cut their teeth. The ceremony of the exchange of rings, or plighting of troth, between the Princess Sophia of the Netherlands and the Hereditary Grand Duke of Saxe Weimar Eisenbach, took place, on the sth inst., at the Hague, in the palace of the Nordeinde, in the presence of the King and Queen, the parents of the affi ineed bride, all the members of her family, the Minis ters of State, the Officers of the Household, and a numerous Court. In the afternoon there was a grand dinner, and in the everting the young couple received the congratulations of all the Foreign Ministers, and a numerous assemblage of persons of distinction. The front of the palace was brilliantly illuminated with the cyphers of the affianced pair. The Leilisic Gazette of the 4th instant, states that the Bri tish Government had solicited permission from Mehemet Ali to march a body of troops through Egypt to the Isthmus of Suez for the purpose of facilitating their arrival in India. The Pacha is said to have replied that he could not grant the re quest without the consent of the Sultan. The object of Sami Bey's visit to Constantinople is to represent to the Sultan the inexpediency of granting a similar permission, and to suggest the propriety of erecting a line of forts on the coast of the Red Sea. PARLIAMENTARY. In the Lords, last night, some petitions were presented against the income tax. Lord Campbell moved the second reading of his Bill for re forming the Appellate Jurisdiction of the country. . The Lord Chancellor uisapproving of the measures, moved that they be read a second time in six months, which amend ment was carried after a short debate, and the Bills were thrown out. So ends Lord Campbell's present measures of judi cial reform. In the Commons, Mr. Wakley presented a petition, informing the House that the petitioners and others would be ruined by the income tax, which, on this plea, was ordered to be laid on the table. We have elsewhere adverted to Mr. T. Duncombe's motion on the subject of petitions, the debate on which was renewed. Here we shall only say that Sir R. Peel, Mr. M. Milnes, and Lord Egerton, Captain Hamilton, Lord Sandon, and the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, opposed the motion, and that Lord flowiett, Mr. H. Berkeley, Lord J. Russell, and Mr. S. Wortley (a Tery) supported it. Ultimately it was lost by one. On Sir C. Napier inquiring of the Speaker if he might have followed Sir Robert Peel on Friday night, the Speaker replied " Yes," and a short discussion arose as to the rules of debate, in which the Speaker maintained his previous opinion, and Sir Robert Peel came to his aid with some cases. The adjourned debate on the Report of the Income Tax Resolutions was resumed by Dr. Bowring ; and after Mr. Macaulay, Lord Stanley, Mr. Labouchere, Lord F. Egerton, and several other Members had addressed the House, the debate was again adjourned. A short discussion arose on the question of the adjournment. Lord Egerton, in the course of his speech, spoke of any factious opposition to the measures of Sir R. Peel as highly criminal in the present state of the country; and also made some a lotions to Affghanistan, which was in truth a prominent subject of the debate throughout the whole evening. confirming the statement that the income t a x i s to be i m p o sed ou th e coun t r y f or th e sa k e of conquering Cahoot. These remarks called up Lord John Russell, who reminded the House that the criminality was on the other side, which had put off giving the country any relief for nine months, and that papers connected with Affghanistan had been laid on the table of the House, and the Tories had not raised any question on them. Both the Noble Lord and Sir j. Hobhouse declared themselves ready to meet any inquiry into the origin of the war, and to take their full share of the responsibility. Both eulogized the conduct of Lord Auckland. The House adjourned at a Quarter before Two. Pun LIC OPINION. The Morning Herald says The position which Sir Ro bert, as a statesmaa emphatically invited by the nation to re trieve it from its embarrassments, has assumed is, both per sonally and constitutionally, a legitimate one. Having ac cepted the office tendered to him in such a crisis, it is no more than a privilege he may fairly claim to stand or fall by the ap probation or rokction of the general policy which he proposes to pursue; and if he be somewhat too sensitive or positive on this score, it is an error on the right side. It is an agreeable novelty to see a Minister rather mere tenacious of his principles than of his place, and we may therefore set off any seeming wilfulness of opinion against his evident sine.rity of purpose. Still we must not and cannot conceal the truth that Sir Ro., beret; dominance (if we may so term it) borrows a compara tive lustre from the unpoplarity of his predecessors, and that the Opposition are blindly doing their best to heighten the con trast to their disadvantage." The Chronicle, speaking of Sir Robert Peel's recent bear ing towards the House of Commons, observes :—" Sir R. Peel has been in more passions since the 3d of February, not only than Lord John Russell since his entrance into the House of Commons, but all the Whig Ministers p u t t oge th er (i nc l u di ng Lord Stanley) during their ten years of power. It is become a common subject of inquiry, when a Member comes into the waiting-room, " How is Sir Robert ?" "Ishe in a passion ?" " How is the great man's temper ?" "Did h e snu b L or d Stanley ?" " Was ho rude to Mr. B ar i ng ?" " Did h e b u ll y But, wh a t ever may h ave b een t h e tempest on f ormer occas i ons , suc h a scene a never witnessed in the House. Fuhso fury Ho some of e greatwas man was absolutely hors de fty that of theus o TF minutes m Commons? ndtai vytoe inst t .te night w ' combat. He could not read hand-writing, he could not speak two consecutive sentences. He was bearish to the Speaker ; and if the House of Commons permit this vulgar bullying to go on, there is really an end to the character of lit itish gentle men. Charles Fox used to say that nobody but a mat, of family could lead the House of Commons Up to the present time Sir R. Peel has disproved the opinion of the gifted Whig ; but, of a truth, it seems that prosperity has turned his head; and that he is not gentlemen enough to deport himself with de corum to his opponents. It is, however, a consolation to us to see that there is some impartiality in these vulgarities; and it augurs but ill for his Governme n t that Lo r d Stanl e y i s at length showing some symptoms of self-respect, and is beginning to discover that the head of the house of Derby ought not to be a mere dead weight, or of Knatchbull-like dimensions in the Cabinet." The following is from the Post :—" No doubt there are many who are surprised —many who are disappointed—at the measures which the Premier has brought forward. But they who made him the leader of the majority did not put him in that position in order to carry this or that measure which they approved. They gave him power because they had confidence in his judgment, and they have not withdrawn that confidence, although he may have come to determinations different from what they expected. Within the last three weeks we have heard hundre,ls of the Tory party stating the objections which occurred to them against the measures which have been brought forward, but ending with the assertion that they believed Sir Robert Peel and the Duke of Wellington knew better than they did what the honour and interests of the coun'ry required, and therefore that the measures of the Government should have their support." In an article on the subject of Sir R. Peel's income tax, the Times thus expresses itself:—" We do not pledge ourselves meanwhile, as must have been sufficiently obvious to cur readers, either to all the details of his plan, or to the argu ments which have been urged in its support. One such argu . merit used by Mr. Roebuck, and, we are sorry t• say, re echoed in a modified shape by Sir R Peel, in a debate shortly before Eas'er, wis well refuted by Lord John Russell. It was one of those merely popular topics which, from their very shallowness and a certain appearance of point, men use to elicit applause from their own supporters. 'I he opposition to the tax as inquisitorial was met by the assertion that an honest man need not fear the exposure of his affairs. We call such a statement ungenerous as well as unreal. It is the random, reckless saying of a man who knowi nothing about the difficul ties or the nature of business. It is like those sweeping maxims of strict morality which some people are fond of apply ing to cases in which they have no concern—wide, unpractical assertions, which only show that those who make them have never set their minds and consciences in earnest to find out right and wroni .. have never really dealt with those complicated cases of conscience which every man has now and then to settle for himself. Lord J. Russell justly protested against this fallacy." The Liverpool Journal states that the agriculturists are vehemently opposed to the new tariff, and observes :—" Hay ing had time t o rea d, mark, and inwardly digest it, and notice how insid:ously i t cuts awa y that ' protection.' which, as they very truly say, t h e returned to s us t a i n, t h e y have raised an outcry which has present Tory majority in the House was alarmed the friends of free trade much more than the Minis ter. From one end of t h e t h ree kingdoms to the other they are up in a rms , and are b ac k e d by various other smaller mo nopolists, w h ose interests are menaced by the proposed changes. O n t h e other h an d, the resistance to the income tax, though s l ow, itself, it wo u ld a d d, i f directe d to a resolute opposition to the is gathering, and though not formidable in Minister, to the weight of the other." The Dublin Evening Post thus alludes to the probable ef fects of the tariff on the glove trade :—" The aninirable ten gloves of Cork are hanging in the market, and for the Limerick gloves, whi c h we really t hi n k better than the best Paris we ever put on_(s„, t, sooth to say, we are not particular in these matters)—you cannot ma k e sa le. In England, this trade, and all other trades included in the genuine haberdashery, are suffer ing. But when the duty is lowered, what will become of the millions, we might almost s ay, employed in fhe work? This question they will have to answer in England, as best they can.' We quote the fillowing remarks from the Leeds Times :—' "Probably it is in the division of his enemies that Peel's strength, and their weakness, consists. An immense number of classes and interests are di ss ati s fied, but all for different reasons— some because the measure is too liberal, others because it is oppressive an d i nqu i s i tor i a l — som e because it dimini s h e s th e ' protection' o f t h e home pro d uce rs, others because it main tains the mo s t egreg i ous m i sc hi e f s of the present system. The agriculturist s , th e coal-owners , the manufacturers, the shop keepers, the professi o n a l c lasses, are ail complaining, more or less, but their opposition has no plan or concord ii, it : the dis concerted parties cannot coalesce and act together, and conse. quently Peel feels himself strong, and his measure safe." The .Scotsman observes, on the subject of Sir Robert Peel's projected tariff :—We will not be entrapped into a hasty con demnation of the proposed a meliorations, however incomplete ; for although certa in " wor ki n g interests" may suffer, the ob vious tendency But if we contend th at i n t h e march of this great principle, not of such changes is to benefit the nation at large. even the barriers which ' protect' labour should be spared, how ; much stronger must be our hostility to that monstrous moms poly which, in order to swell the rent-rolls of the aristocracy, deprives the poor not only of bread, but of employment ! Yet this is the master-grievance for which Sir Robert has dragged up' the abhorred ir:come- tax from its grave expresily to degond !" The Cambrian says:—" It cannot be too often repeated, that Sir Robert Peel came into power to prevent justice 1)012, done to the people. He is the Minister of the monopolists. It is useless to tell him that there is all the difference in the world in point of justice between a tax on property and a tax on the income of trades and professions. He is not at liberty to abandon the income tax part of his scheme. He has told the House, he must carry the income tax or quit office. Of all classes of the community, the owners of land ought, for various reasons, to be equally taxed with the owners of per sonal property." .M OIVE Y — TEILDE—commEncz.

COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen held a Chapter of the Most Noble Order of the Garter yesterday afternoon, at Buckingham Palace. The Knights Companions having been robed by Mr. Hunter and Mr. Ede in their Mantles and Collars, assembled in the Pic ture Gallery.

The Knights were followed by the officers of the Order, in their mantles, chains, and badges. On arr:ving in the Chapter-room, the Queen took her seat in the Chair of State at the head of the table, his Royal Highness Prince Albert sitting by her side. The Knights Companions, by the Sovereign's command, took their respec tive seats at the table according to the order of their stalls. The Prelate stood on the right of her Majesty ; the Registrar, Gar ter King -at-Arms, and Black Rod, at the bottom of the table. The Prelate of the Order, by her Majesty's com man d, rea d a new statute, wher e by hi s Majestyl the King of Saxony was de clared a Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Garter. • The Prelate then stnified to the Chapter the Sovereign's pleasure that one of the vacant stalls in the Royal Chapel of St. George at Windsor, be filled, and, as by the statutes none but a Knight can be elected, his Grace Henry, Duke of Beau fort was introduced by Garter and Black Rod, and was Knighted, by her Majesty with the Sword of State. The Knights Companions proceeded to the election, and the suffrages havirg been collected by the Prelate, were by him presented to the Queer, who was pleased to command him to declare, and he accordingly declared that the most Noble Henry, Duke of Beaufort, had been duly elected a Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Garter. Then, by the Sovereign's command, his Grace was received a the door of the Chapter-room by the Duke of Buceleuch and the Duke of Sutherland, the two Junior Knights present, pre• ceded by Garter (bearing the Ensigns of the Order upon a crimson velvet cushion) and by Black Rod.

Garter King-at-Arms presented in like manner the ribband with the George, and her Majesty, assisted by their Royal Highnesses, put the same over the Duke of Beaufort's left shoulder, the Prelate reading the admonition. After which, his Grace had again the honour to kiss the Sovereign's hand, and having received the congratulations of each of the Knights Companions, withdrew. His Grace Richard Plantagenet, Duke of Buckingham, was then elected a Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, was introduced by the two Junior Knights. and was invested by her Majesty eith the insignia of the Order. The Most Hon. James Browntow, Marquis of Salisbury, was introduced by Garter King-at-Arms, and Black Rod, and bad the honour of Knighthood conferred upon him by the Queen with the Sword of State. The Knights then elected his Lordship a Knight of the Order of the Garter, and the Noble Marquis was invested with the ensigns of the Order by the Sovereign. His Grace the Duke of Cleveland was introduced into the Chapter Room by Garter King-at-Arms and Black Rod, and received the honour of Knighthood from the Soverign with the Sword of State.

Mr. Lorimer's work, published some years ago, the reve rend gentleman has shown that the Aon-intrusion pasty were the salt of the Kirk, and that, during the cold reign of Mode ratism, many evils of a serious nature prevailed. It is not a little curious that, since the wild men attained the ascendancy, there have been exactly fourteen ministers deposed, seven of whom belonged to the Non-intrusion, and seven to the Mode rate party in the Church. The crimes which led to the depo sition of the seven Non-intrusion brethren were fornication, or other acts of gro,s immorality.

FATAL COAL-PIT ACCIDENT, SEVENTEEN LIVES LOST, AND EIGHT SEVERELY INJU RED. Mai:chest .r, Saturday Night. This melancholy accident took place in the extensive coa mines of Messrs. Swyne and I.e2s, known by the name o " Flowery Fields," situate in the township of New son, Lanca suire, a small village, about six miles from Manchester. It appears that about eleven o'clock on Friday morning the men in the mine, and the banksmen at the first entrance to the mine, were thrown into the greatest state of alarm by hear.ng a rumbling noise, accompanied by a tremendous shock, which was quickly followed by an explosion and an emission of ignited inflammable air. The alarm spread, but no assistance could be afforded the unfortunate sufferers. It was known that there were 26 persons in that part of the mine where the explosion took place. In this - state of suspense things remained for several hou'•s. Meantime Mr, Potter and Mr. F. Tinker, two surgeons in the neighbourhood, arrived to render medical aid. After the lapse of some hours the medical gentlemen deemed it safe to proceed in search of the missing sufferers, and both of them in company of a number of miners and the underlookere descended the shaft, and after a protracted and dangerous search, they succeeded in finding eight of the missing colliers, but, unfortunately, all qu;te dead, some of them having been suffocated, and others much bruised and burned. Shortly afterwards seven more were found near the same place, but also dead. The search was prosecuted, and in about an hour afterwards the remaining, ten were dis covered. One of them, a person named John Bcwker, was in the last agonies of death, and the others in a pitiable stale of exhaustion, especially an elderly man named Urimshaw. 'Tha surgeons succeeded in saving the lives of eight out of ten. John Bowker died soon after he was found, and Grimshaw was so far spent that all efforts to preserve his life proved fruitless. It was 'wady four o'clock this (Saturday) morning before all the killed and injured were got out of the mine. AUSTRIAN POST-OFFICE RE FORM. Private correspondence, dated Vienna, the lst inst., an noun•.es that the Austrian Government are about to follow the example of Great Britain, and adopt an uniform rate of postage. According to the present system, there ere seven classes or rates of postage, varying from 2 to 14 kreutzers, ac cording to the distance. The Austrian Government propose to commence their reform by reducing those seven classes to two—one at 6, and the other at 12 kreutzers; and finally to adopt an uniform rate of postage of 6 kreutzers, equal to about 2d. Briti,h. Our corre.pondent further states that the Austrian Government are likewise about to surrender the monopoly which they held in their own hands of stage-coaches, and inlow the fullest liberty for private enterprise in every matter which relates to travelling, in the same manner as in Great Britain. This reform will afford a pleasing contrast with the illiberality in force in other continental States. THE INCOME TAX A BADGE OF • SLAVERY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. &a—Taxes on earnings, or income other than fixed, in volve inquiry into the means and transactions of those who have to pay them. This inquiry or prying into individuals' affairs is neither more nor less then actual, unmitigated, and most evil producing tyranny. None but a nation of slaves, or a nation in the last extremity of peril, ought to submit to it. But m e are to have necessaries—save and except always bread, the staff of life—cheapened in return for submitting to this tyranny. I would ask high-siirited Englishmen how long it will be before they become slaves —arrant, hopeless saves—if they allow chains to be fixed upon them because they are gilded—if they take the bribe of somewhat cheaper victuals ( bread ex , :epted) for surrendering the sacred right of preventin,, the Governm en t from prying into all their home s , and trading means, and affairs? For my own part, I would rather pay 50 or 100 per cent. more for my living, and be free from the inquisitors of the income tax, than be relieved to such amount and be silo ject to the preliminary printed interrogatories, subsequent knowledge, and ultimate decisions of such odious spies and familiars. Rely upon it, Sir, the appalling feature of the income tax is its inquisitorial and most unconstitutional prying into the affairs of the community. %% hen I read the questions addressed to firms by the Tax Commissioners of 1811 (which were printed the day before yesterday in your paper), I was perfectly as tounded. I call, therefore, on all parties to go to the Lords and the Queen against the unconstitutional and everlasting income tax.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, PETITION, PETITION, PETITION. London, April 6, 1842. " UNIVERSALITY OF TAXATION. "Taxes upon every article that enters into the mouth, or covers the back, or is placed under the foot; taxes upon every thing that is pleasant to see, hear, feel, smell, and taste; taxes upon warmth, ligh t , and locomotion ; taxe s on every thing on earth, and the waters under the earth ; on every thing that comes from abroad, or is grown at home; taxes on the raw material ; taxes on every value that is added to it by the in ' dustry of man ; taxes on the sauce which paMpers man's appe tite, and the drug which restored him to health ; on the ermine whitth decorates the judge, and the rope which hangs the criminal; on the pour man's salt, and the rich man's Tice; on the brass nails of the coffin, and the ribbands of the bride; at bed or at board, couchant or levant, we must pay. The schoolboy whips his taxed top ; the beardless youth manages his taxed horse with a taxed bridle on a taxed road ; and the dying Englishman, pouring his medicine which has paid seven per cent. Into a spoon which has paid fifteen per cent., throws himself hack upon his chintz bed, which has paid twenty two per cent., makes his will on stamped paper, and expires in the arms of an apothecary, who has paid 100/. for the privilege of putting him to death. His whole property is then taxed from two to ten per cent. Resides the probate, large fees are de manded for burying him in the channel; his virtues are handed down to posterity on taxed marble ; and he is then gathered to his fathers —t o b e taxed no more.
