Some persons seem to suppose that they ought to approve of the tariff; because many of the agriculturists disapprove of it. If no other reason can he assigned in its favour it ought to be given up. It never can be for the interest of one class in the community to injure another class, and we have always, in advocating the total abolition of the Corn and Provision-laws, been sin e). ely convinced that such a measure would benefit the farmers. The tariff; on the contrary, will, we believe, not benefit them ; nor do we think it will confer much benefit on any class of consumers ; and, therefore, we cannot eagerly join in the demand for the tariff at any price, because the farmers complain of it. The principal feature, as far as they are concerned, is the permission to import live cattle at a certain rate of duty, and a reduction of duty on meat when imported. Now the injustice of this towards the farmers is that it will diminish their gains and not diminish their charges. The abolition of the Corn-laws would diminish their charges more than it would diminish their gains. They employ little or no labour to rear cattle. " A looker in liouiney Marsh," says Mr. ELLMAN, " is perhaps the only 'win employed on a thousand acre., of land." There . will be for the farmers, then, no reduction in the cost of producing cattle, while the Legislature proposes arbi trarily, not justly, to lower the price of cattle in the market. There is another consideration which affects the land owner rather than the tenant. Under the Tithe Com mutation Act, the tithe has been commuted into a rent charge, the amount of which is annually determined by the price of wheat, barley, and oats, for the preceding seven years. Now, a reduction in the price of either of these species of corn would lower the rent-charge ; but reducing the price of meat can only have such an effect indirectly ; and this part of the tariff, therefore, will confer an undue advantage on the tithe-owners. It is one of those covert means of transferring property, though it be only to a small amount, from one class to another, which the Legislature has no right whatever to adopt,. and against which every man, who respects property, ought to protest. The reduction too in the price of cattle ought to be taken in conjunction with the great reduction which has been made in the protecting duties on spring corn. In the House of Lords last night the Duke of CLEVELAND presented a petition from Shropshire against that reduc tion, ani we think that Sir R. PEEL by this part of his Corn-law has'really sacrificed the growers of oats in Ireland and elsewhere to the growers of wheat. Thus, while he has diminished the protecting duty on wheat, at the price at which it is usually imported, by a scarcely appreciable quantity, he has reduced the duty on barley from 12s. 4d. to 55., or 140 per cent., the duty on oats from 9s. 21. to 35., or 200 per cent., and the duty on rye, beans, and peas from Ifis. 9d. to 65., or 170 per cent! Ntlw either the present law must have been grossly dis proportionate in the amount of protection it afforded to the cultivation of the different grains, or Sir R. PEEL'S law is. In either case we have a proof of the ignorance and inefficiency of the law- makers. At the same time thegreat alteration proposed by Sir R. PEEL is a manifest injury, on his own abominable principle of settling prices, and affording protection equally to different classes—to the growers of oats, barley, and rye, as compared to the growers of wheat. There is a still further consideration. These minor grains enter but little into the consumption of the people, except in Ireland and Scotland, and some parts of the Nortfi of Eng!and -; and, consequently, the reduction in the price of them will only affect wages in Scotland and Ireland. It is one of these changes, therefore, that will have little effect in reducing the charges of the farmers, and a considerable effect in reducing his gains. The alteration may probably lead also to the increased consumption of rye, barley, and oats, for food, and our people will fall back, in consequence of its comparative cheapness, on the black bread, which, as used by the Germans, is such a bugbear to the Tories. If it be desirable to encourage the people everywhere to subsist on wheaten bread, rather than on rye and barley bread, the great reduction is Cie duties on spring corn will have a contrary effect. If these alterations in the Corn-laws and the Tariff were to have all the beneficial effects which Sir R. PEEL and his partisans ascribe to them, we should still oppose them as parts of an erroneous and unjust totem. Sir R. PEEL has said more than once that the alterations in the tariff will reduce prices and benefit al: classes, without injuring any one. It is his duty, then, as a legislator—he is hound, by the strongest objections—to propose those alterations without coupling them with an obnoxious income tax. Ile, however, offers these ad vantages, which he is not justified in withholding— which, to withhold, would really make him out a malicious wretch, instead of a benetieill states man—as a bribe to allow him to fix an income tax on the whole people, and they are, unfortunately, willing to accept the hribe. What they ought to de mand as a right they consent to receive as a boon, and for that give up something more valuab'e than what they receive. According to the latest edition of his tariff, the new timber duties are not to come into Operation till Octo ber, which will save half the sum he calculated on losing by the alteration of the duties, or 300,0002 w believe, 100, that some of hi.s scribes, by a clerical error, have incorrectly augmEnt , ,Nl the deficiency on the year by 100,000. The reduction of price, he anticipates, can only be the r, salt of the importation of consider able quantities of food paying duties, which will add to the Exchequer. He has, therefore, tar less need than 11 ° onkel , out tor an income tax, except that he is pre paring for war with America, which he and the Tories prefer to free trade (for, had the Corn-law been abo lished, we should never have heard of that meeting at New York which our Journal to-day records, nor heard of a proposition to increase the import duties into America), and preparing for war against liberty in France ; and, except as a means of preparing for war, he could dispense with the income tax. The whole plan is a fraud on the people, for it is brought forward, as the Times admits, on false pretences. We ought, therefore, at once to scout such a petty advantage as the tariff, when it is accompanied by such a gross iniquity as an income tax, to maintain a Corn-law and promote the horrors of war. On all these accounts, and we might dwell on some others, it seems to us advisable not to press the tariff, which is in many points so essentially unjust against the wishes of the farmers. It involves a new distribution of property by the Legislature, wbichought always to be resisted. Better would it be, therefore, for the manu facturers, and townspeople, and their representatives, to make common cause with the farmers and their friends in opposing the tariff, and so get rid of that, the income tax, and PEEL together. The present system is far too much damaged to be continued by any set of men, or any combination of politicians, however unprincipled. To break up the monopolist Administration, therefore, will be a short cut to throwing overboard the whole system of protection, which continually requires the Legislature to be dabbling and meddling with the pro. perty of the people, and to obtaining complete per fect, and enduring free trade. It can scarcely admit of a doubt that the claims of aristocracy to fill the high station they occupy will not bear investigation. Prescription and custom are the foundations of their power, which is threatened by the very act of inquiry. The habit of the mind, on which their authority depends, is totally at variance with investigation, and must cease carrying their authority with it as inquiry extends. The conduct of the aristocracy consequently, which provokes an in quiry into their claims and privileges, is for them full of danger. The result, if not imme diate, yet at no distant day, will be to place the aristocracy in that position which their merits and their services to society deserve, and not in that position which the aristocracy filled with some propriety a few centu- ries ago. Of such inquiries we have seen none more complete and exhaustive, as far as the investigation goes, than is carried on by the author of a pamphlet called Aristo cratic Taxation ; its Present State, 6^c. Not contented with proving, in opposition to the interested assertion of the landlords, that the land is subjected to no peculiar burdens, the author shows that a considerable portion of our customs and excise duties, 10,000,0001. at least are for the purpose of protecting the land. He adds to this other taxation levied on the people for the behoof of the aristocracy, and arrives at the conclusion that the total overcharge of taxation on the middle and lower classes for the behoof of the aristocracy, is not less than twenty eight millions per year. Not contented, moreover, with merely proving the fact, the author traces the injustice historically from the beginning of the feudal system downwards, and properly concludes that this system is not yet extinct amongst us. He has produced, at a very appropriate time, a most useful work, which will help to swell the tide of opinion now rolling in heavily against the aristocracy. We shall hereafter find an opportunity probably of quoting a passage or two from the book ; we only wish now to guard ourselves from the supposition that we draw any conclusion against the aristocracy from the mere tact that, in the earlier ages of society land bore a much larger share, indeed the whole, of the burdens of taxation, than •at present. There was a time when land and its produce constituted the only property. The increase of other property is the necessary consequence of the progress of society. It is quite as right that commerce and manufactures, as they come into existence, should bear some of the burdens of so ciety. Fleets are maintained, in a great measure, for the protection of commerce. Consular and diplomatic officers are chiefly required to protect those persons who visit foreign countries for purposes of trade. Many of the expenses, therefore, of modern States are caused by the extension of manufactures and commerce, and those who profit by them ought to pay a due share of the cost of protection. It is not, therefore, because in the progress of society we find commercial and manufacturing, or personal property contributing, in relation to the land, more and more to the necessities of the State, that we conclude that the landlords throw on others the burdens they ought to bear. We must have proofs of the particular acts by which they have clone this, such as their passing the law fur subjecting personal property to a probate duty, and exonerating the land—and the utility of the present pamphlet consists in this, that it supplies those proofs. If the aristocracy hope to stifle inquiries into their merits, and hope after such inquiries, to retain their present high place, they are assuredly most mistaken. France is not the only country suffering from a war mania. In the New York papers to 20th ult. received yes terdaymorning, nothing is discussed but a prohibitive to riff, and the necessity of preparing for a war with England. " Ninety-nine men out of every hundred in this country," says the New York Courier and Inquirer, " without reference to party, cry aloud to Congress for action and protection. The cry is everywhere heard, Build war steamers—increase our navy—put our forts in a state of defence—re-organize the militia—accumulate every where munitions of war—regulate the national cur rency—impose heavy import duties—tax all free ard cles—and, if necessary, lay on direct taxes to any amount that the wants of the country may require.' This is the language of the people." We are sorry for it. Such language betrays much ignorance and great folly. The at tempt to raise a revenue by heavy import duties—or in other words by a prohibitive tariff, can have no other effect than to ruin the foreign trade of the United States, and thus add to the commercial embarrassments of the country. In Congress an import duty of thirty-five per cent. is spoken of as necessary to protect native indus try. With such a duty Congress will be obliged to grant a premium upon exports, as assuredly European vessels will not go in ballast to the United States to export her staples. With respect to the question of a war Stith England, nothing can be more absurd or more wicked than the attempts which the press of the United States is making to expedite such a calamity. To go to war about a boundary line, or the right of search question, would be madness. With respect to a right of search, for the purpose of impressing British subjects found on board foreign vessels, we are decidedly of opinion that it ought to be given up. Such a national right ought to be blotted out of the law of nations ; nor can an attempt to enforce it be made by nations speaking a common language, without acts of individual wrong being com mitted, calculated to lead to the most serious consequences. In Congress nothing is doing ; but if we are to be lieve the Journals, public opinion was never less repre sented at a Versailles Bed of Justice, in the good old days of the French Monarchy, than in the legislative assembly of wise men at Washington. Hear what the Courier and Inquirer says of them in a leading article.— Never was there such universal contempt felt by the people at large for any body of men, as is everywhere openly expressed in regard to the present Congress ; and, in our opinion, this gene ral contempt is most richly merited. We do not refer to any party in particular ; all are equally to blame, and at this momv•nt a majority of the House of Representatives and of both parties in that House, are justly looked upon by the people, as men who are alike void of the necessary talents for the discharge of their duties, and of the patriotism which should prompt them to discharge those duties according to the beat interests of their constitu ents. And just so certainly as they do not change their course of conduct, and now, when an opportunity offers, some forward and show that they have at least some little American feeling in their bosoms, they may anticipate a burst a indignation from she whole people, such as never before has been elicited in this or any other country. It appears to us, that such a benighted set of men never got together as is now assembled at Washing ton, or they certainly would be aware at the deep and ani vernal feeling of contempt which their conduct has excited. Let them beware that they do not convert that contempt into indignation. Lord KENYON, the last of his bigoted race, we hope, in the House of Peers, attempted on Thursday night toget up a discussion on that bugbear of Orangemen— M aynoothCol lege, but met with no support. The Bishop of EXETER was silent, not one of the RODEN school even gave him a so litary cheer ; and one of his own party in politics told the Noble Peer in direct terms, that to petition Parlia ment to overthrow the grant was the " height of absur dity." This pithy rebuke drew forth cheers from Whig and Tory Lords, and also from the Puseyite Bishopr. This circumstance forms a remarkable feature of the present time, which every friend of his country will hail as an omen of good, and as the most secure pledge for the happy union of two religious parties, the dire enemies of each other ever since the days of the Reformation. While, but some dozen years ago, petitions flowed in from all quarters of the kingdom, breathing the most bitter hostility to Catholics, a large proportion of the Commons, and a great majority of the Peers, re fused even to entertain their claims for emancipation, and every attempt was made by a bigoted priesthood, and a ruthless press, to stir up the worst passions of the people for erroneous or selfish purposes, the wild rage has nearly died away, and only manifests itself at certain periods of the year, among the old women of Essex, and Denbigh, and the showy ladies that frequent Exeter-hall. If Lord KEN YON has really such a dread of Roman Catholics, why does he not look at colleges „nearer home than that of Maynooth ? Rank Popery bas displayed itself in Ox ford, it is all but openly professed by many of .the mi- , nisters of the Protestant Church, and receives no check from the Bench of Bishops ; yet this Peer, so anxious to put down the base and demoralizing doctrines of Popery, is blind to the perjury of his own Church, vents all his • rage on consistent Churchmen, and wickedly and falsely accuses the learned and moral professors at Maynooth, of teaching doc trines subversive of Christianity. In order to put an end to this malevolent attack on a respectable and numerous class, we trust the advice given by Lord CLONCURRY and the Earl of WICKLOW will be followed, and the House of Commons will mark its disapprobation of such mis chievous bigotry by increasing the grant tenfold. Such a measure would tend to promote the tranquillity of Ire land, and at the same time induce men of a higher rank to enter the Catholic Church as priests. On looking at the treatment which members of other Churches re ceive from the Legislature, the Catholics have good reason to complain. While a large sum every year is voted to raise small livings in Scotland, and mil lions have been granted for building additional places cf worship for the richest Church in the world, these miser able, envious bigots grudge a few thousand pounds to Catholics, from whom the Legislature has taken the whole of their ecclesiastical property. It is high time to do away with such unjustifiable partiality, place all classes on something like a footing of equality, and in these times of danger unite them in one common bond of unity for maintaining the independence and honour of the country. We must not omit the consistent part Mr. WALLACE took on Thursday night in the discussion, and we would point to the very different Constitutional opinions enter tained by the Member for Greenock from those expressed last night by the crotchety Lord who represents Sunder land We have always believed that when any question induced the people to send "petitions to the House by the cart load," that it was the bounden duty of the people's servants then to pay far more respect to them than when they were few and Jar between ; but this is not the Howler logic ; we perceive that scion of aris tocracy sneers at cart loads of petitions. We would remind him that the conduct of his Noble Father was very different when a Member of the House of Commons—the petitions of all ranks were ably handled by that statesman, and the nearer their approach was to cart loads, the more zeal did Lord GREY evince in giving effect to them. What would his Lord• ship's early friend, CHARLES Fox, say, were he permitted to witness the peculiar conduct of the son to that friend of the people, so well known for ninny years as Mr. GREY in the Common's House ? What would Fox, and SHERIDAN, and ROMILLY, and GRATTAN, think of those who now not only refuse to listen to those who would plead the cause of the people, but who have, by an immense majority, made a Standing Order against a single word even being said, either in the way of explanation or confirmation of the contents ofpetitions? They certainly would say they might call themselves Whigs, if they chose ; but they were not of the genuine sort, but a mongrel race, more than half Tory. Mr. WALLACE, like Mr. DUNCOMBE, deserves the thanks of the whole body of the people for his steady advocacy of the untrammelled right of petitioning, and for the stand he has made, and will make again, in this sacred cause. When the newly-passed Standing Orders come to be read over at the commencement of next session, will be the proper time for Mr. `WALLACE again to fight the battle, and we cannot doubt he will do so effectually, for by that time the income tLx will have had a trial ; and we shall be greatly surprised if the constitu encies do not pledge their representatives to vote with Mr. WALLACE in favour of discussing their petitions for its discontinuance, from day to day, when so instructed, in place of laying them on the table without one word in behalf o f their contents, and then seeing them coolly thrust into a bag, for such use as the Committee may see fit to put them to. Like Mr. WALLACE, and the band who have supported him on both occasions, we solemnly pro test against the new-fangled notions o.ir Tory-Whigs have adopted, and shall continue steadily to advocate the inalienable right of the people to the full, free, and complete exercise of petitioning their own House of Parliament, and having their wishes enforced by their representatives. From Madrid the latest news is of the 6th inst. On that day there was some discussion in the Second Cham ber about a commercial treaty with England. M. GON ZALES, President of the Council, said that the Govern ment, feeling the great interest attached to this question, were not disposed to bring forward a special project of law on the subject, until after a thorough examination of the effect it would have on the dif ferent interests in the country, and this examination, although prosecuted with the greatest assiduity, was not yet completed. The Government, he said, had not yet discovered the means of reconciling the many conflicting interests connected with the question, but they would not relax their exertions to bring the matter to a solution, A M. ZEUMAN, a German swindler, who was said to be on a secret mission from Prince METTERNICH, has been order , A to quit the Spanish capital in 24 hours. Madrid Bourse, on the 6th, was 28i, for cash. The Freud' journals received yesterday are barren of news of any interest. In the Chambers the closing business of the Session is rapidly progressing to a con clusion. A report was read in the Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday, on the subject of M. GOLLIERY'S foolish project for the circulation of the Debates. It occupied two hours, and was finally thrown aside, by the refusal of the Chamber to appoint any time for discussing it. M. Callier Aid-de-Camp of the Minister of War, set out by yesterday's post for Oran. The Committee on the Colonisation of Algeria, having ter minated its investigation, and availed itself of all the documents useful for the plans of the Government, has divided into four Sub-Committees, each specially charged with important labours. I.he first is the Sub-Committis which is to inquire into and report on the state of property, of which M. Laplagne Barris, Peer of France, is President. The second has to inquire into the state of the inhabitants, the civil law, justice, legislation, and municipal organisation; Count Gasparin, Peer of France, President. The third has for the subject of its labours the public security, salabrity, draining villages, enclosures; Lieut.-General Count de Tehrsmur, Peer of France, President. The fourth has far its share produc tion, cultivation, commerce, and tariff of customs ; Baron Charles Dupin, Peer of France, President. The Toulon journals of the 10th centain several letters from Algiers and than, which announce the presence of a great number of Moroquese in the Beylick of Tlemecen. _ _ The Meteore steamer had just left Toulon for Algiers with extraordinary despatches.

GLADSTONE'S PROPOSED COLONIAL TARIFF.— British North America, scarcely raising sufficient corn or meat for home consumption, cannot victual her ships so cheaply as the United States ; freights from the northern ports of the Republic to the West Indies will consequently be much lower than from New Bruns wich or Canada, and freight in the conveyance of so bulky an article as timber is an important constituent of price to the consumer. Under the new Colonial customs' tariff the northern colonies will lose the transport of flour and meat to the West Indies, which enabled their ship owners to keep down the freight of timber ; but now that the new tariff will deprive them of that transport, and take from American timber all protection in the colonies of the West Indian Archipelago, the lower freights of American ships will transfer the export of timber from British North America t, the United States, will de prive British colonial navigation of freights to the yearly value of 200,0001., and British colonial trade of annual exportation of timber to the amount of 700,9001., will destroy the colonial capital invested in that shipping, and in the mills and other establishments for the preparation of wood for the - West Indies.—Morning Herald. [This statement is Worth attending to for its admissions. In consequence of bounties on timber-cutting, &c., as has been over and over again proved, the colonists are induced to neglect agriculture ; and of that the consequence is, that they cannot victual their ships so cheaply as the inhabitants of the United States. Our bounties then inflict a mortal injury on the colonies. In spite, too, of all the encouragement given to our des titute labourers to go to our colonies, which should pro vide them with labour at a cheap rate, the Americans undersell our people. All the excuses of an old and new amity which are usually put forth to justify cur suicidal policy, and account for the success of the Americans, fall to the ground in this case, for our colonies have an abundance of land, and arc quite as newly peopled as the American States. The system of Government, the ex travagant meddling system of Governrnen t,which prevails in the colonies, and the comparatively cheap and free system of th e U n it e d S tates , are th e causes o f th e dif ference, and why our colonies do not thrive as fast as the United States. This is the Tory system, alike mis chievous to the colonies and the mother country, but the Tories themsel7es. have been now compelled to deal it a blow under which it reels, and from the effects of which it will never recover.] An on dit has currency in the beau monde which creates the greatest sensation amongst the fair members of the aristocracy. We allude to the rumoured intention of her Ma jesty to give a fancy ball. The 12th of May is said to be the day fixed upon for this new fete at this Court. We find the following in a letterfrom Nuremberg, given by the Journal de Franefort The King has ordered that some distinguishing mark shall be put upon the house which was occupied by Palm, the bookseller, who was shot b 3 order of Napoleon, for having preferred death in the cause atilt, honour and liberties of Germany to an infaranus - denunciation. • THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL _l6, 1842. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND pubttt eptition. " Who runs may rein." FOREIGN. The leading articles of the Paris Journals are principally on the result of the proposition of M. Golbery, for the publication of an official report of the sittings of the Chamber of Deputies, and on the discussion of Monday in the Chamber of Peers, re letive to the treaty for the right of search. With respect to the former, they agree in regarding the plan as wild and im practicable, and as having been so considered by the Cham ber, which, whilst apparently . postponing the consideration of it, has virtually rejected it. inasmuch as it is cer tain that no discussion on the subject can take place at the period to which it is postponed. The arti cles on the treaty for the right of search are so similar, gene rally speaking, to what have already been given, that we think it unnecessary to give extracts. On Monday M. Guizot, the Russian Charge d'Affaires, and the English and Greek Ambassadors, had a long conference at the Tuileries. The Commerce states that a report is in circulation of an am nesty to a certain extent for pol tical offences, being in contem plation for the King's fete-day. The Constitueional of Barcelona, of the 6th inst., contains the following official announcement by the Political Chief of Catalonia :—" I learn by a despatch from the Constitutional A lcade of Cardona that, in the evening of the 2d inst., the brave soldiers of the Marine, killed, in an engagement, the factious brigand and Carlist Colonel, Jose Tristany, ex-Governor of Cervera, and brother of the famous Mosen Benet Tristany." The King of Sardinia held a Chapter of the Order of the Annunciation on the 4th of April, and invested with the Grand Collar of the Order Count Salim° and Count Paul Francois de Sales, Ministers of State. His Majt sty also honoured with the title of Knights of the Order the Hereditary Prince of Lucca, and the Archbishop, of V erce lli. Th er e is but one Knight of the Order in France, viz., the Viscount de Cha teaubriand. PARLIAMENTARY. Several petitions were presented last night in the House o Lords against the Corn-keeping -out Bill, because it lets in too much corn, which rather betokens a strong opposition to the measure. As no lam on the subject could be better than either the old law or the proposed law, it would be advisable for the friends of free trade to unite with the agriculturists and throw out the Corn Bill. The Forged Exchequer Bills' Bill was read a third time and passed. The Marquis of Normanby brought under the notice of their Lordships a petition from Hull, complaining that their ancient privilege of appointing their own Alagistrates had been invaded by the Tory Government. The Lord Chancellor said it was necessary to appoint some Conservative magistrates, because all the magistrates of Hull were Radicals, and he had appointel Conservatives. The Noble Lord attacked the NI hip for the appointments they had made ; and, after some mutual reproaches, the petition was laid on the table. In the Commons, on the third reading of the Mutiny Bill, Captain Bernal brought under the notice of the House the in justice and cruelty of military flogging, and moved a clau,e to be added to the Bill, to prohibit flogging except for offences committed on the line of march, or for theft. Captain Boldero, though he had formerly supported such a motion, opposed it, as did Sir H. Douglas, at whose predilec tion for flogging we are not surprised, by Mr. Macaulay, who seems tor ready to support enormities which should be left to the Tories and by several other speakers. It was sup ported only by Mr. 0. Stanley. On a division the motion was lost by a very large majority, and the Bill read a third time. As we need ile services of our people in the army, it is not perhaps wise to repel them from the service, still retaining this odious and brutal punishment. In a Committee on the Customs Duties' Bill, the question of imposing a duty on flour and wheat imported into Canada from the United States was discussed. Mr. Labouchere and Mr. Roebuck opposed that proposition as injurious to the co lony. Mr. Gladstone supported it, and on a division it was carried by 63 to 54, not a very large majority for the strong Government. The Bill went through the Committee, and the House afterwards adjourned till Monday. PIII3MIC OPINION. The Herald finds fault with the Colonial Customs Bill in the following terms :—" The Colonial Customs Bill, which stands for discussion in the House of Commons this evening, is more Whiggish than the Whig Bill proposed last year by Mr. Labouchere • it is a measure of very doubtful policy ; if it do benefit our ' West Indian colonies, it will be at the cost of our North American dependencies. It is a complete breach of the principal of reciprocity in matters of commerce, by which Sir Robert Peel professes to regulate his trading policy. It proposes to convert that trade, now carried on indirectly through Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, between the West Indies and the United States, into a direct track and will thereby throw out of employment a large portion of colonial shipping, and most probably destroy the commercial intercourse between our northern and southern American colonies ; it proposes to open the markets of these colonies to foreign European manufac tures ;, and it proposes either object without obtaining from the United States, or the manufacturing nations of Europe, any countersraiLng advantages." The Times contains some remarks suggested by Lord Francis Egerton's resolutions on the subject of the right of petitioning :—" Sir Robert Peel," says our Contemporary, will lose no credit with the public by the frank avowal that the Opposition has simply beaten him, or by the easy tone which he has taken in the debate. It would, indeed, have been little in accordance with his consistent deference (exagge rated as we have sometimes thought it) to the decisions and au hority of the House of CoMmons, had he allowed himself to be led into any other course; yet, still we confess we were not without our fears that it might have been so, and that either the provocations of an angry Opposition, or the supposed necessity for unusual firmness in making his power lett hi friend and foe, might have induced him to adopt a tone and policy which we should have felt less satisfaction in recording. We repeat our hope, that he and his ,upporters may continue to understand the oifftrence between those great occasions when he may fairly expect a decisive and unwavering support, aid those more open questions on which, like the present, it is necessary, for the independence both of the country and its re presentatives, that the Minister should allow free play to the judgment of the Legislature." The Post has the following observations :—" The division of Wednesday night was a great triumph for the Conservative Administration. Every one knows what the W higs prophesied after they had taken time to consider the possibility of getting up a great public discontent on the subject of the income tax. Every one knows what they calculated upon doing during the Easter recess, and with what persevering efforts of mere fac tion they postponed the resolution of the Committee on the ground that, were the public allowed sufficient time, such a demonstration would to made against the Ministerial policy, as it was of the utmost importance the House should take into account before coming to a vote. All this has turned out to be mere miscalculation and blunder." The Chronicle says :—" London, Liverpool, and all the other commercial towns, are loud in their exclamations against the delay in proceeding with the tariff. But the income tax discussion has nothing to de with the tariff. It is preposterous to pretend that the Liberals are in any way responsible for the delay which has taken place in proceeding with that measure. Sir Robert Peel may have had reasons for not proceeding which he does not choose to avow. It may have been neces sary for him to negotiate with some of tnose who told him they could unmake him as well as make kim. But, to use the common adage, let the saddle be put on the right horse. The delay is a pure Tory affair. The Opposition offered to take the tariff first, but the Government hung back. Indeed, so little were Ministers disposed to discuss the tariff that it has actually been only two days on the table. Let, then, those who wish to participate in the benefits which the tariff is about to coafer, and those who suffer from a stagnation of trade, apply the spur to Sir Robert Peet, and riot to the Opposition, for the progress of the tariff rests with him alone." NIONEY — TRADE—OOIIIIVIERCEI. At a meeting on Thursday to oppose the income tax, Mr. Smith quoted the old remark of the late Mr. Cobbett—" That, let taxes be put on in what way, or under what guise they might, they were sure at length to reach the working-man." Meetings against the income tax have, within the last week, been held in the Tower Hamlets, at Newcastle, Leominster, Bath, Chatham, high Wycombe, and Edinburgh. Against the tariff, by the agriculturists at Wor ces t er , th e l a t e o f Sheppy, and Nonington in Kent, with petitions and memorials from each. It was stated at a meeting of the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce, upon the discuss:on of Sir Robert Peel's financial scheme, that the proposed reduction on cork would do no good to the revenue, while 30,000 men would be set idle. PUPAL= IMPROVEMENTS. ♦ large building, intended to be a halt of commerce, anti a place id meeting for public bodies, is now being erected on the site of the French Protestant Church in Threadneedle-street. The front is 100 feet in breadth, and 60 in height ; the in terior consists of two great halls, and several smaller rooms. Mr. Mozay, biscuit-baker, is the proprietor. _ EL ECTIONE ic MG. The nomination for the Montrose burghs is fixed for this day. Mr. Hume is certain of success. NAVAL .&ND 2111LIT.A.ILT. Lord Frederick Fitaclarence, the M. W. G.M. of Scotland, has been appointed Commander of the Forces in North'Britain, in the room of Lord Greenock, also a Freemason. Among other military men who have been Freemasons are Lord Lyne doch, Admiralty Omtianey, the Duke of Wellington, the Marquis of Tweeddale, Lord Combermere, &c. Sir John Moore was also a Scottish Mason, as also the immortal Nelson. At high -water on Thursday morning, the steam-ship Duchess of Sutht rland, which went on shore in Sea-Reach about ene o'clock on Tuesday morning, v as towed off by two steam-tugs, and arrived at her moorings, off the Irongate stairs, Tower, at noon. LAW AND POLICE. James Cockburn, late an extensive East India merchant in Broad•street, Coy, passed his final examination on Thursday in the Bankruptcy Court. Hit a'credited property, as well as that in S ydney, New South Wales, and at sea, so far as could be accurately estimated, would be sufficient to discha. ge his liabiltiea. The Secretary of the Society for the Registration of Patents attended at Bow -street on Thursday, stating that a person of the " 1 " of Edward Reynolds had taken out a patent at the office, purporti ng to be for Lord Amherst, and had presented a cheque, s a id to be his Lordsh i p ' s, for 2.51., out of which he paid tsl : 51s. for th e pa t en t, and received the change. The cheque is a f orgery, and the police h ave i nstruct i ons to arrest h i m. Robert Th ompson, an old man , f ormer l y a s h ip- b aker of large propert y, was charged at Lambeth-street on 3 hursday with stealing a t a bl e -cover from a sh i p i n St. K athar i ne ' s docks. He stands remanded to to-morrow. zaTzatursr AND scszrirrxric. The orthography of both the French and Swedish docu ments of King Gustavus 111., written by his own hand, and deposited in the chest at Upsala, evinces throughout that his Majesty enjoyed the reputation of a great author, without knowing how to spell. THEATRICAL. Lablache, on Thursday n i g h t i n the Eli x i r , a t t h e O pera. L aklache Mario, Gio. Ronconi, and Madame Persiani, appear is the Dulcamara; Gio. Ronconi, who in Italy has always played Dulcamara, fakes the part of Ilalcore, to render the cast as strung as possible. The West halian was revived at the Haymarket last night. and a new Major U'Flaherty was introduced in the person of Air. Mahone Raymond from the Liverpool Theatre. He was quite sucees,ful. C °UHT—FASHIONABLE. The Earl and Countess Brownlow are expected in Belgrave spare in the course of the ensuing week, from Torquay. The Marquis and Marchioness D'Harcourt have delayed their visit to this country until the close of the season, on account of the approaching accouchement of the Countess at Paris. Lord' and Lady Maryborough, Countess of Wilton, Countess Dowager of Clarendon, tee., have been staying at Tunbridge Wells. The Earl and Countess of Beauchamp, and Lord and Lally Dalhousie, are among the tashionables still at Brighton.

ARBROATH, Aran. 13.—Mr. Hume made a triumphant entry into the town last night, and was welcomed with the most hearty and boisterous applause. Music and banners were in attendance, and some thousands escorted him to the inn, where he addressed them from one of the windows. Strath bogie sympathisers and rigid Non-Intrusionists were to be seen before his arrival running through the streets canvassing the voters, and even threatening those who were any way dependent upon them. The game, however, is up with them ; but it shows what Non-Intrusion is when it would league itself with Intru sion against the most important interests of the country. Mr. Hume will be returned without opposition. The Angus burghs will once more send a thorn to the House to prick the sides of both Whigs and Tories. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, FRIDAY EVENING. The prices of the Funds, which opened firmly, were not maintained at the latter part of the day ; Consols leaving off at 91h ter Money, and 91% for the Account ; Bank Stock, 165 1664 ; India Stock, 241 243 ; Exche,uer Bills, 39 41 prem. '1 he settlement in Foreign Bonds has of course gone off quietly; but the stale trick of creating a scarcity of particular Stocks has been carried into effect this time also. * With great impartiality Buenos Ayrean and Peruvian Bonds have now had the benefit of the operation, instead of Mexican, as has been the case the two previous settlements, it being too much to try it again on this :ast-named Stock. The quotations, except in the two named above, are but little varied; the Por tuguese Five per Cents, being 36% 365; the Three per Cents., 21 214; Columb,an, 274 27k; Mexican, 41 41%; Spanish Five per Cents. , 245 244 ; the Three per Cents., 254 255 ; Buenos Ayres from 28 to 30; and Peruvian from 18} to 21. 'I he price of Belgian was 1034 1045; Brazilian, 67 68 ; Danish, 80 1 / 2 81 ; the Dutch Two aid a Half per Cents , 525 52% ; and the Five per Cents., 1005 m a . Railroad shares are nearly the same as yesterday : Birming ham 176 178 ; Birmingham and Gloucester 56 58 ; Gn at Western 945 954, the Half Shares, 655 66 ; South Western, 60 61 ; Gosport, 60 61 ; North Midland, 69 70; the New Shares, 34 35 ; South Eastern and Dover, 294 30%; Eastern Counties, 95 91 ; Blackwall, 12 12%, the New Shares, 10 105; and Brighton 365 37 per Share. A fair amount of business was transacted in the Foreign Exchange, and the rates did not materially differ from those of Tuesday ; Amsterdam was quoted 12 5 ; Rotterdam, 12 5%; Antwerp, 1244, 12 5 ; Hamburgh, 1313, 1313%; Paris, 25f. 824 c., 25f. 87%e. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE EVENING PAPI;RS OF YE,TERDAY. GLOBE.—We are yet disposed to hope that the wretch who is now the object of universal execration will not eventually escape ; but if he were taken to day it would furnish no excuse to the police, who, had they used proper means, could not fail to have had him in custody within twenty-four hours after the discovery of the offence he is suspected of. The first oversight, blameable as it really was, might, how ever, have been perhaps repaired by subsequent dili gence; but instead of that, the police appeilr to have been literally loitering at the murderer's heels; and the very fact of their having been so often close upon his track renders them much more reprehensible in hav ing never yet succeeded in coming up .with him. We hear much of their vigilance, and their attention to every information that is brought to them; but 'their vigilance seems hitherto to have been ex hihitecl in running wild-goose chases in every direction that vague rumour or mischievous folly has pointed out to them. Their readiness to listen to statements consists apparently in a prompt credulity, which induces them to lend their ears to every idle story that is brought to them, and they set out . post haste to every public-house where they are told the murderer has just been, in the hope, no doubt, that he has the full intention of coming back again. Nearly half a dozen publicans have presented themselves with a declaration that the suspected man has been in their house, and yet it has never occurred to them to secure him until he has been allowed quietly to walk off, and then they think proper to hurry with their " important clue " to the station-house. We should be inclined to regard these statements rather as attempts to advertise the public houses (which, from the -present anxiety to hear anything professing to relate to the murder, are sure to be made known), than as bona fide efforts to further the cause of justice; for if these worthy individuals, who bring their inform ation, are so desirous to aid in the detection of the criminal, it is surely rather late to come to the autho rities with the news that " the bird has flown," when they might have caged him with ease, had they been really desirous of doing so. That the murderer can continue to live, and yet escape detection, we cannot believe ; but it will be the awful nature of his crime, which has set every man's hand against him, that will be the means of preventing him from remaining long concealed ; and it will indeed require all the vigi lance that the police can display in taking him, be fore they can wipe out the stigma that attaches to them for permitting him to have so long eluded them. STANDARIX—The party of which the present Premier is leader saved the agricultural body frem absolute and final destruction twelve months ago ; it was natural that the farmers, therefore, should count upon that party, as friendly to all their objects, and even bound to go all lengths with them, whether reasonable or unreasonable, just or un ust, after they (the farmers) had heaped upon it their acknowledg ments of gratitude. This, we say, was natural ; but many things are natural which are not reasonable; and surely it is not reasonable to convert benefits into claims of submission, even though these benefits have been gratefully acknowledged, or to charge with de ceit all who do not realise all the sanguine hopes that their former services may excite in our own inconsi derate minds. This error is more particularly to be guarded against in judging the conduct of the Govern ment of a free country. Such a Government really be trays its duty when it acts as the Government of a class or party—betrays its duty usually more to the injury of the class or party favoured, than of any others. A free country will not long endure a party or a class Government, if for no other reason, because such a Government must, in various ways, cripple the general industry and the national energy. Then from one class or party Government follows a violent change to the Government of its opposite class or party, placed in power, animated by party feeling and strengthened by party precedents, to oppress and injure the party of its predecessors; and in this way the political history of a country becomes but the record of reciprocal injuries, alternating from year to year. Lord Western•tells the farmers that they have been deceived ; let the farmers, believing his Lordship's erroneous representation, withdraw their support from Sir Robert Peers 'Administration, and they will have Lord John Russell's Government and his delusive fixed duty, arid they will then learn in union workhouses and beggary by the way side, the extent of the injury from which Sir Robert Peel has protected them, and would 'protect them. But Sir Robert Peel has not deceived them, as we have clearly shown. If they have deceived them selves, as Lord IVestern confesses to have deceived himself, the fault lies in the unreasonableness of their expectations. It is satisfactory to us to remember that we have been no parties to - the deception. Convinced as we ever have been that the agricultural interest is im measurably the most important interest in the country, and zealously as we have always fought its battle, through good report and ill report, we have never regarded it as the only interest entitled to protection, or asked for any unfair advantages in its behalf. If, as Lord Western seems to think, the agriculturalists claim more than this service, it is we, not the farmers, who have been deceived, for we thought we were engaged in a fair and equal cause. 'We will not, however, doubt that the Noble Lord is mistaken ; we will still adhere to the conviction, " that live and let live" is the farmer's principle, as it is the prin ciple of every just man. COURIER.—The object of Mr. Mangles being to serve not truth but his. party, and the very sore place of that party being confessedly the wretched state of Indian affairs, induced by Indian misgovernment and resulting in the deplorable disasters of Aff ghanistan, he forthwith rushes with more haste than good speed to throw himself into the breach, hoping that on his authority assertion might be accepted fbr fact, at least until the manoeuvre had answered the purpose of deciding wavering votes from telling adversely on the day of division. Here is the double mode of action resorted to, as we extract the process from Mr. Martin's summary Mangles says the East India Company have at this Moment a loan open at 5 per cent., but he omits stat ing that little or no money has been lent by the public to the Indian Government, and that th e 4 per cent. loan has proved an utter failure. Mr. Mangles also omits stating that all the Government securities on India are at a discount, except those on which the interest is payable in England, and that the deprecia tion extends to 17 per cent.—a cir cums t ance unprece dented since the time of the Mar qu i s W e ll es l ey ' s j ust and able- financial : as well as military and political g overnment of India. The curre n t i n t eres t on money in Calcutta is now eight to nine per cent.; it was no more at the close of Lord Wellesley's administration in 1805, although no public banks then existed in India. There is not a shadow of a proof that the East India Company are raising money at a rate equivalent , to three p er cen t ., as state d b y . N Mr. Man gles." ow we can testity, on the faith of the most accredited Indian papers, to the fact that, althouFh a five per cent. loan had been opened for some time past—months even—at Calcutta and in the other Presidencies, yet that ver y few subscriptions had been obt a i ne d towar d s filling up the list, and that, although for only four millions sterling, it was an utter failure. The Government securities in (not on, as per h aps by m i s take in Mr. Martin's. , letter) Indi a were moreov er at a discount, as averr ed from which may at once be inferred the caws (From The Sint of Last Night.) Consols are firm at 914 914 for Money, and 914 91i for the Account. The business on the Stock Exchange ha‘ been chiefly confined to the payment of the differences upon the late settlement, which are generally of small amount. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents., 1004 1004 ; Bank Stock, 165 166 ; India Stock 242 244 ; the Londs, 18 20 ; and Exche quer Bills, 39 41 prem. This is nominally the settling day in Foreign Bonds, but now fortunately it is of no moment. The quotations are—Mexican, 41i ; Colombian, 274; Buenos Ayres, 28 ; Peruvian from 18i to 21 for Money, and 20, for the Account; Portuguese Five per Cents., 36 • Spanish Active, 244 ; the Three per Cents., 25%• The price Of the Dutch Five per Cents.,loo4 104. Railway Sharer. are all firm. Great Western, 954, the New Shares 654 ; Birmingham Quarter Shares, 59 594 ; South Western, 60 61 ; South Eastern, 294 30; Brighton, 37. Two instances have occurred to-day remarkably illustrative of the real nature of business carried on in Foreign Bonds Peruvian, which opened at 154 for Money, are at present quoted 21, and the New Spanish Three per Cent. Stock opened at 254, rose to 26i, and has since fallen to the first ofthesequotations. In the first case an artificial scarcity of Stock has been created, and in the other the decline has been caused by a party offering to sell, and the belief that he really had the Stock to deliver. The Paris Stock Exchange Committee have literally kicked the new Stock from the Bourse, and will not recognise it until Spain shall appear to be inclined to do justice to her foreign creditors. The North America packet-ship has brought accounts from New York to the 19th March inclusive. Scarcely any altera tion in mercantile affairs had occurred. The amount of busi ness continued to be small, being wholly confined to transac tions for immediate wants, and for these money was abundant; while for speculation the banks and capitalists refused to make advances. The progress of resumption was going on steadily, and as a natural consequence, the banks without capital were obliged to wind up their affairs. If this plan be pursued, it w 11 tend more than any other to bring about a more healthy state. A calculation made some time since showed that there were in eighteen States one hundred and ninety millions of dollars of banking capital wholly unconvertible and unredeem able in specie, and that according to the report of the Treasury, upwards of three hundred and five millions of dollars had been sunk by the banking system. The debt due by the Federal Government was still a chief topic of discussion, and the necessity of meeting it and provid ing for future demands universally allowed ; but the idea of direct taxation was as universally repudiated. The only plan which could apparently be tolerated, was that of raising the duties on imports. If this should be carried into effect, it will, it is supposed, add to the jealousy at present existing between the southern and northern States, the former holding the doc trine that they should not be taxed for the sake of the latter, and that the manufactures received in exchange for their raw produce should not be virtually prohibited, which would be the case if higher duties be imposed. 'I he duty on British Cotton is nominally 20 per cent., but by the existing regulations, and by extra charges, difference in exchange, &c„ it is in reality much more. The Stocks appear to be somewhat higher than they were by the previous arr►val; Indian Fives, 18 19 ; Illinois Sixes, l 8 181; Ohio Sixes, 58; Exchange ou England,. 71 7i premium. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, APRIL 14.—The market presented a very animated appearance, and fully 10,000 bales changed hands; prices, however, were much the same; Americans were taken on speculation, and 700 for exp or t.
