EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.) C )1313:1TT V. SIR GEORGE AND ANOTHER,. (Continued from our rtterncon Edition ) Mr. Connt:rr, in support of his rule, contended that a spet LAI justification ought to have been pleaded, and that his remedy was by trespass, and not by an action on the case, because he was forcibly taken from a room in which he had a right, under the prison regu lations, to remain. lie also complained of the enor mous powers conferred upon the Secretary of State, and that through their oper4tion he had been made the victim of a gross conspiracy. The CourtT, in giving judgment, decided that there should be a new trial unless the Attorney-General would consent to enter a verdict agaiust Sir George Grey as well as against Mr. Hudson, the other de fendant, on the issue of not guilty, w hich would b 3 rendering full just!ce in the ca , e. The ATTORNEY GENERAL having consented to that course, the rule was discharged. The judgment simply has the effect of affirming the allegation of trespass. COADION PLEAS.-(TENS DAY.) DUKE OF BRUNSWICK V. SLOMAN AND OTHERS. Lusu applied for a rule to show cause why the writ of ca. sa., under which one of the defendants, Miles, bad been arrested, should not be set aside, and also why the plaintiff should not pay the costs of the present application. The action was brought against the defendants for breaking into and entering the house cf the plaintiff, and the damages found by the jury were 7201. A motion for a new trial was ob tained, but ultimately discharged. The defendant, Miles, in affidavit now said that after the verdict was given, and before the motion for a new trial was made, he IA as about to make an affidavit of fact, the ques tion being whether or not the defendants really en tered the house, but the plaintiff's secretary, Mr. Odling, called upon him and said he had the Duke's authority fur saying that if he did not make the affidavit he would never be looked to for any da mages or costs. He was not satisfied with the se cretary's assurance, and he went to the plaintiff's residence for the purpose of getting a promise to this effect from the Duke himself. Here the Duke said, " I give you my word as a sovereign Prince and a gentleman that if the verdict stands you shall not be molested, but if I find you assisting Slon)an or any other person in any subsequent pro ceedings in the court, I will immediately issue execution." Miles accordingly did not make the affidavit; but in consequence of the other defendant's having taken out a summons to stay further proceed ings without the consent or even knowledge of his attorney, a ca. sa. had been issued against the whole defendants, and Miles was now in prison. The COURT granted a rule. F ktA.NCE. The Commission on the law of transportation met on Thursday. The law was generally approved of in principle, but there was considerable difference of opi nion as to the details. Some of the members desired that the law should apply to persons convicted anterior to its presentation, and many expressed a desire that same particular spot should be n irned to be colonized exclusively by political convicts. It appears not im prel:.able that the project of transportation to the island of' Mayotte will be given up. Admiral Dupetit Theutrs described the climate of Mayottel as Lein , deadly to European constitutions , w hi at that of the Marquesas on the contrary was healthy. The voyage to the Marquesas could be performed in fLui• months, whilst that to M-lotte would occupy three and a half , therefore there could he no objec tion to the Marquesas on account of the greater ex p; rise of the navigation. The Committee charged with the examination of the proposition of MM. Ney de la Moskowa, Fla rigny, Bar, and Bevoux for an annual credit of 52,000 f. for expenses of lodging the Vice-President of the Republic, has adopted the principle of the proposition, but considers 20,000 f. a year sufficient. We have already mentioned the departure of the condemned prisoners of Versailles for Doullens. They were conveyed from Versailles to the station of the Northern Railway, where they arrived at eleven at night, under an escort of dragoons. The only feeling exhibited by the persons who witnessed their removal appeared to be that of curiosity. The prisoners were in good spirits, and, before they entered the cellular rani at Versailles, sang in chorus several patriotic songs. Huber, who was condemned by the High Court of Justice for the affair of May, and Lieutenant Kleber, who was condemned by the Council of War, were sent off by the same train. Tne Moniteur contains the following :—" When tie President of the Republic came into power he fund in the prisons or on board the hulks 3,114 ii d'veluals eetained or transported in consequence of the events of June, 1848. Out of this number 2 597 have been restored to liberty, viz. :—From the month of January, 1849, to the month of Oc tober foA"ing, he successively ordered the re lease of 1,2.56 prisoners. Before the measure of clemency whi3h he has just adopted, there still remained, either at Cherbourg or at Belle-Isle, 1,858 prisoners. Amongst them 50: had before been th measure ;12 have died. There are, therefore, 517 to be deducted from the previous number. It is, therefore, 1,341 indi v id ua l s w h om t h e President of the Republic has just restored to liberty. This number,' added to that of 1,256 previously released, makes a total numb er of 2,597 pardoned by the President of the Repub lic since his accession to power:' The condemned prisoners of Versailles have a ddressed the foll ou ju g letter to their couns el , dated from the prison of Versailles, 14th inst.:— " Citiz noticing, in conformity with our Una nimous decision, the events of June 13, under the three fold right—insurrection, resistance, an d protest —yo u acted according to the true principles, the traditiuss, and the itustion of all the accused. That firm and re publican attitude in which y ou persisted, in spite of the menace-s of the Court, could alone impart a mutual re spon,iblity at the same time that it left to each the full liberty of his coni , cience. The words pre nouncvd by the Presidcut of the High Court, words which we were compelbd to listen to without remark, brace we were condemned to the most ab:olute silence, make it a duty on us to give to your acts the fulle , t and Most explicit approbAtion. - No, citizens, it is not true that you have incurred any responsitility whatever toweeds your order, for yen have defended its dignity. There is no such thing as desertion on the part of counsel when the defence is not frce. It is not true THE SUN, LONDON, that you have incurred a responsibility towards your clients, who might one day call you to account for such an abandonment, for our friend Michel eloquently ex. pressed our ideas and our feelings when he exclaimed 'I will not abandon an inch of the ground on which I have placed myself; I am there, and there I will re main, and my friends wish that I should do so, for' they like better to save the rights of the people than to save themselves, they who are the de fenders of the people.' It is not true that you have in curred any responsibility whatever towards society; for the safety of society lies in protestation, resistance, and insurrection against perjured and oppressive govern ments. Yon, therefore, accomplished a great act by retiring, and good citizens will not forget it. As to us, our gratitude is secured to you, here, everywhere, and for ever. Health and fraternity. " Signed by all the condemned prisoners." The following letter has been addressed to the Artillerymen of the ex-Legion of Artillery of the Seine : "Prison of Versailles, Nov. 14. " Dear Comrades,—ln 1830 as in 1848, the legion of Artillery has never failed in the defence of the immortal principles of our great revolution. Four of your comrades hsve just fallen iu this sacred struggle, struck by the hard of our old enemies. They restore to you intact and unsullied the standard which you confided to them. May it serve as a rallying point for you all, artillerymen whose hands we have fraternally shaken, and for those who, like you, are ready to die to save the Republic and procure the triumph of the great principles of fraternity, the wily safety for our society which is so deeply disturbed. Comrades, we have accomplished to tho end all our duties as citizens. In the days of power we protec . ed our fallen enemies ; and on the 13th of June last, when their sanguinary and guilty fury blindly impelled them to civil war, we understood their sinister proy cts and say.id Paris from another dreadful day. Artillerymen of 1830, you were the first to proclaim the Republic; artiller,,men of 1848, you contributed :o found and wished it to cover with her generous hand all its children of the country. You demanded peace for all; your eff,rts have been vain before the sullied remnants of our bad regimes, who only wish tor war. Let the consciences of the public be our judge. Adieu, dear comrades; from the dungeons into which we are to be thrown we will follow and bless t.h your efTorts. Religiously respest the traditions of our deer legion, and never torget that i ts motto is 7out pour le bleu de la patrie r Cordial and fraternal salutation. (Signed) "A. GUINABD, eX•Colonel of the Legion ; A. FRA- BoULET DE CHALANDAR, Captain CoMManduLt; MONTBET, ex-Captain, act:rg as MsjQr ; C. SCHMITZ, Captain." AUSTRIA• Letters from Vienna of the 11th instant state that great excitement had been caukied in that city by the announcement of the arrival of the British fleet in the Dardanelles. The Russian General=, L viers and Duhamel, had been recalled from the Danubian pro vinces. Lord l'onsonby - , the British Ambassador, was, it is said, about to leave Vienna for England. SWITZERLAIND. Letters from Berne, of the 12th inst., state that a bond, executed and signed by Louis XIX. for 180,812 Swiss livres, cash lent to the French King by he canton of Fribourg, has been lately di,eovert.i, And that it is the determination of the Swiss Conte deration to apply for the amount to the French Government. ITALY. The Riforma of Lucca, of the Bth, has the follow ing from Parma Madam Teresa Zavaroni Ferrari, of Reggio, bat come to Parma with her husband, on private bud ness. Tq3 lady is very pretty ; and as sbe word s white beaver bonnet with a red ribband, several pc r sons followed her, upon which she was arrested by the police. An officer of the Carabineers condemned her to receive twenty-five strokes with a cane. Madam F.rrari appealed to Colonel Meli, who is a townsman of hers, and pleaded that at Baggio such hats were per mitten, and that they had no political signification. N ot withstanding this, the gallant Colonel snowed an intet:- don of enforcing the sentence; but she screamed and struggled so, that the was at last released, with an in junction to leave the town instantly. The obnoxi ,, us bonnet was confiscated; the crowd cheered her loudly at her departure." We find the following in the Ordre :—" A private letter from Rome gives a piece of news which is very serious, and which we publish with all reserve. The Pope, on hearing of the recal of M. de Corcelles, and of his having been recalled by a general combining the titles of Minister Plenipotentiary and General-in Chief, has indefinitely postponed his return to his states. It, is known that his Holiness had previously made ar rangements for his speedy return to Rome. The letter, which gives this news without any comment, comes from a very influential person. We will add that certain reports relative to the recent decision of the Pope, and which are in accordance with the re marks of the correspondent, were yesterday in cir culation at the Asembly." The Constituzionale of Florence states from Naples, 28th ult., that M. Baracco, one of the richest men of Naples, has been arrested. MM. Leopardi, Pica, Bir barici, Spaventa, and others, have been shut up in Sant Elmo. Students have been forbid to come to Nap!es; their studies are henceforward to be continued in the provincial lyceums. M. Arnante, a learned mathe matician, and M. Sacchi, a geologist, are struck out of the list of members of the Royal Academy of Sciences. The Riforma of Lucca, of the 9th, states that the King of Naples has offered M. de Fallout a rtsi dence in one of his palaces during his convalescence. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 12th instant pub lishes two royal decrees, the one replacing the army on the footing on which it stood previous to the decree of the 12th of October last, and the other re-organizing the corps of riflemen, or Bersaglieri. The Opinione has the following : " In the'sitting of the Senate on Thursday, General Franzini said that this was not the moment to disarm, when Austria maintained fifteen armies on the war foot ing. We applaud the judicious sentiments of the old General, and add: Lose no time in arming. Re-org4niz9. the army, and particularly the infantry. Fortify Alex andria; be watchful; the storm approaches. Ei glaud and Russia are on the eve of a rupture. We cannot re main neutral. If we join Austria our destruction is certain. If wo side with France we shall have a doubt ful ally. We have to choose between England and Russia. The first promises most and can do more for us. The information we have received demonstrates the possibility of a proximate war. The corps stationed at Bergamo, which commands the road to Lecco, that to Tone' e, and the city of Brescia, is to be reinforced. A no- tification announces that the operation of the recruitment is to be advanced. Whilst Au-aria is preparing for every contingency, France is in the position of a woman about to be eJnfined. Shall it be a republic or an empire? At pres-nt it is neither one nor the other, but it carries in Its womb the germ of either. Our foreign policy is subordimte to the events of the interior. We invite Piedmonte e Ministry to re-organize as speedily as pos sible the army, the administration, and the finances." The Piedmontese Gazette announces that the Par liament was prorogued to the 10:h cf Thcember. Hamiltc:ll sat Brighton. Lord John Hay, Captain 'Milne, and Mr. Parker, are the only members of the Board at the Admiralty. SMOKE CONSUMING APPARATUS.—The Admiralty have ordered the furnaces of the rope machinery at Devonport to be constructed with bricks, with the view of consuming all the smoke arising from the fires. Mr. Hall, the projector, has been desired by the Admiralty to superintend the fitting of his recently-patented improvement to these furnaces. GRUZNEE PRIZE MONEY.—The rolls of the un claimed shares of the 4th Light Dragoons, 2d, Queen's Royal Regiment, and 17th Foot and general Staff, have now been received from India, end the payment to the several claimants will be made in the course of next month. CANDIDATES FOR C O MMISSIONS.----An examination of candidates for Military Commissions took place at Sandhurst College on Tuesday last. There were between forty and fifty young gentlemen examined, some of whom acquitted themselves tA ith great dis tinction and will be immediately nominated to com missions. We are requested to state that there is not the slightest ground for the report that Lieutenant- Colonel Crombie, Coldstream Guards, is about to exchange into the 3.1 Foot. PORTSMOUTH STAFF.—Major Parvey, on the Un attached Half Pay, has been re-appointed Aide-de- Camp to Major-General Lord Frederick Fitz- Ciartnce, G.C.11 , Commanding the South-West District. ORDNANCE DEPARTMENT.—The Barrackmaster of Cahir, Clogheen, and Newton, has obtained one month's leave of absence. Mr. Thomas Freeman, a Clerk of Works of the Royal Engineer Department, will conduct the duties. Lieutenant Rutherford, Barack master of Kinsale and Charles Fort, has ob tamed three months' sick leave of absence on the re commendation of a Medical Board, to proceed to Scotland. THE ARMY AND NAVY. (From the United Service Gazette of this day._ It is reported that Captain George Elliott, now Flag Captain of the Ocean at Sheerness, will comission Mr. White's 50 gun frigate Phaeton at that port, the first week in December. The Admiralty have ordered the rigging to be fitted with thimbles and shackles, to connect the lanyard plates, as proposed by the Gallant Officer. The frigate will be complete by the Ist proximo. TRIAL SAILINGS IN THE MEDITEREANEAN.—The Thetis, 36, Captain Codrington, had some trial sail logs last month with the Powerful, 84, and Ven geance, 84, when the Thetis showed incontestab l e superiority. In a trial one day she beat the line-of battle ships nearly eight miles. The stowage of this frigate is immense. During her late visit to Malta for provisions for the fleet, the captain was deter mined to take four months for each vessel, and, to carry out his determination, both himself and his first lieutenant were seen with their coats off and their shirt sleeves tucked up, tugging away at the stowage themselves. THE NEW NAVY ESTIMATES.—The Admiralty are again urging on the dockyard departments to complete the contracts for the ensuing financial year. Their Lordships have ordered the estimates for the steam factories to be made out immediately and trans mitted. Special attention is being directed to the estimates for new works, improvements, Scc.; and, in one instance, those which have been forwarded have been sent back for revision. THE LATE BREVET PROMOTION..—We have rea son to believe that when the Admiralty recom mended the promotion of Major Johns, of the Royal Marines, to be included in the late Brevet, they also intimated their desire that the date of this com mission should be the same as that of the other officers promoted. CAPTAIN H. M. DENMAN'S SUBSTITUTE.--The Admiralty have ordered the plan projected by Captain H. M. Denman, R.N., for steering a ship when the usual helm becomes disabled, to be fitted to her Majesty's steam frigate Terrible, at Woolwich. HER MAJESTY'S STEAM SLOOP MEDEA.—This steamer is ordered from China to Bombay, to be placed at the disposal of the Governor. General of India. It is said she will bring to England a portion of his Excellency's suite and luggage. PRESERVATION OF IRON SHIPS.—The Admiralty have determined to give Mr. Peacock's composition, for preserving the bottoms of iron ships, another trial, and have ordered that gentleman to send a sufficient quantity to Portsmouth Dockyard to cover the bottom of the Vulcan, steam frigate. We have heard that several applications of 11r. Peacock's composition to the Peninsular and Oriental Company's ships hay e proved very successful. THE ADMIXAI.TY.—The First Lord is still staying at Stratton Park, Andover; Rear-Admiral Dundes has proceeded to Hungerford until Wednesday nt xt ; Rear-Adnairal Berkeley is also . abient at th e Park, Fairford ; the Hon.

(From the Mining Journal of this day.) The mining share market continues firm, and the transactions have been of an average amount. Le vant, Condurrow, Bedford, South Frances, and other leading mines, have been in request. In Devon Great Consols, several transactions have taken place, arising, no doubt, from the quotations of late. We have made inquiries, and learn from the most authentic source, that the mines are much improved, and, notwithstanding the depression there is at present 315,0001. worth of ore discevered, being upwards of 115,0001. more than reported in May last. The improvements and discoveries re cently made in the mines are—Wheal Maria, in the 50 fin. level, west of Gard's shaft, is worth 301. per fathom. At Fanny a cross cut has been driven at the 15 An. level, and Intersected - the lode, worth 201 per fathom. The 45 fathom level, west of western abaft, is considerably improved, and now worth 1301. per fathom ; the rise in the back of this level is worth 1001. per fathom. At Josiah, the 90 fm. west of Ilitchin s engine -shaft, the lode is producing 8 tons per fm. In Richards' shaft, the 80 fm. level Rest, is worth 351. per fm., and in the winze below this level, worth 601. to 701. per fm., and in a winze further west the lode is worth 1401. per fin. These improvements, with the great saving anticipated by the introduction of water power, instead of steam, will, when completed, make a credit of some importance in the next balance sheet. By private letters from East Wheal Rose, we learn that the mine continues to improve in several impor tant points, and that future dividends are likely to be increased. Shares in the following mines have changed hands during the week :—Devon Great Consols, East Wheal Rose, Tincroft, Trelawny, West Caradon, East Wheal Crofty, Trehane, West Wheal Jewel, Treviskey and Barrier, Condurrow, Bedford United, East Tamar, Daren, South Tamar, Mendip Hills, Tamar Consols, Stray-park, &c. At the general meeting of the Wheal Trelawny shareholders, the balance sheet for June, July, and August showed a profit of 1,0471. 9s. Bd., which, added to the balance left from last account, allowed a dividend of 41. per share, and carrying to credit 566/. 12s. 7d. The agent's report of the mine is satisfactory. At Wheal Mary Ann account fur the three months ending August, the statement of accounts showed a profit of 9681. lls. 5d., and the balance left from last account amounted to 1,0171. 19s. 81 A dividend of 255. per share was declared, and 1,000/. the balance of the bonus paid to the land proprietor, leaving the SUM of 3461 1 ls. ld. to next account, when an in creased dividend may be expected. The mine is represented as much improved. At North Roskear bi-monthly account, a dividend of Si. per 140th share was declared, leaving a balance of 22441. 10s. 10d. in hand. At the Devon and Courtenay Consols account a call of ss. per share was made. The prospects of this mine are certainly more encouraging, and we trust the enterprising holders may be amply remu nerated. There was a balance against the company I of 124/. 16s. 6d. At Heigtston Down Consols bi monthly meeting a call of 2s. per share was deemed necessary. There was a balance in favour of the mine of 1021. 17s. 11d. The report of Mr. J. H. Ilitchens breathes the same sort of confidence expressed at the re constituting of the present company, and we sincerely hope the whole will be realised. At the Kingsett and Bedford meeting, a balance was shown of 561. 12s. 10d. in favour of the adven turers, exclusive of 59/. arrears of calls. A resolution was passed, empowering the Committee to make a call of 10s. per share, by two instalments. The agent's report of the mine is highly favourable ; many fms. of excellent ore ground have been laid open, and ar rangements made to bring this productive lead lode into efficient working. At Wheal Bal account, for July, August, and September, the balance-sheet presented 162/. ss. 1 ld have ve m re in c i e n iv g ed dis t t h r e ict,the rr against adventurers, and a call of 30s. per share was made.

Commencing the survey of our fiscal system with the Customs, we find among the yet unreduced items of our Tariff an impost opposed to the first principle of fiscal justice—which forbids that the necessaries of the poor should be disproportionately taxed—and opposed no less to the universal doctrine of all sound economists—that exorbitant import duties defeat their own object. We allude to the duty of more than 200 per cent. upon tea. We challenge contra• diction to the proposition that tea is at the present day, even to the poorest classes, a prime necessary of life. Avoiding all verbal controversy, we take our stand upon the practical definition of the term " ne cessaries," as applying to an article which absorbs a portion of the lowest earnings by which labour is sustained, and which divides with bread itself the expenditure of the poorest of the poor, who just make a shift to live. On this point we may safely appeal to the evidence disclosed by the investigation which we are now carrying on into the daily life of three separate classes of our population. All alike—whether it be the under-paid labourer of the fields, the manufac turing operative, or, lowest of all in the scale, the oppressed slop-worker of the metropolis—all spend a portion of the miserable pittance which is inade• quate to keep hunger from their doors, upon the half- ounce or even quarter-ounce of that herb, the comforting or stimulating properties of which are to their sensations even more indispensable than nutrition itself. It is idle to question the economy of such a preference, or to at tempt to dictate to the indigent, as some well meaning persons are inclined to do, a more profitable mode of expending their earnings. The poor, for the most part, learn pretty well by severe experience in ' what way the money goes furthest, and they are the best judges as to the measure of comfort which it will yield them. We find that, even when most pinched for want of bread, they will buy tea ; and who shall say that they are improvident or culpable in so doing ? Yet is a fact, that for every penny so laid out—the produce of intense, uncheered, Sabbathless labour, in garrets and cellars—two pence at least are appro priated by the Customs ; and the coarse, flavourless, and adulterated compound which is bought is not really worth one-third of the price that is paid for it. Is this humane or righteous legislation ? The present duty upon all kinds of teas is 2s. 2kd. per lb. The high- flavoured hyson of the rich, and the article which is ticketed in the cheap shops of the metropolis as "good serviceable tea," at 3s. 41, or even a less price per pound, pay alike. The ad valorem system, indeed, has been tried, but, by almost universal admission, it was found impracti cable, and the present equal dut y ma y be deemed a fiscal necessity, but its exorbitant amount is not only an oppression and a grievance, but—what will weigh still more with some people against it—it is a fiscal mistake. It does not, nor ever can, an swer to the Exchequer to impose upon an article of almost universal demand a tax so high as to stint, to an unnatural degree, that consumption, which is the most fertile source of all I revenue—the consumption of the great bulk of the people—and which is derived from the wages of labour. It is the labouring, not the spending classes —the many, not the few—the Excise and Customs, not the Assessed Taxes, nor even the Income-tax—that constitute the most productive sources of the public revenue. It is, therefore, by facilitating and extend ing consumption among the millions of the working cla.-Aes, by multiplying those innumerable rills which make up by their aggregate supplies the great stream of iiatival . wealth, that the most successful financial results ire e to be achieved. All theoryoll authority — the j'adgment, we do not say of tliNiost eminent, hut of All writers of any degree of reputation on public economy and finance, are in favour of the superior 'productiveness of moderate over extrava gant import duties. And experience, which we happen to possess in an abundant degree with regard to tea itself, as well as in the analogous cases of coffee, sugar, and other similar articles, confirms the assumption that, if we desire to increase the amount now yielded by tea to the revenue, the almost certain method of doing so is to decrease the rate of duty. The history. of the variations which have taken place during the last hundred years in the amount of this impost, and the effects which have respec tively attended them, afford one of the most in structive studies in finance. We shall briefly reca pitulate the leading facts of the case. Previously to 1745, tea was charged with an Excise duty of 4s. per lb. , and also with a Customs duty of 14 per cent. ad valorem. This was, at the prices of the day, equivalent to about 114 per cent. The average amount then entered for consumption was 768,520 lbs. a year, and the average revenue from the duty 175,222/. In 1745, a re-adjustment of duties took place, the effect of which may be briefly de scribed as reducing the rate of taxation to about 50 per cent. In the very next year the consumption was almost trebled —amounting to about 1,800,0001hs , while the revenue rose to 230,4001. In seven years more the entries had risen to 3,000,000ib5., and the revenue had augmented in a like proportion. These striking results took place at a period when tea was a much less general article of consumption than at present. Unhappily, however, the lesson afforded by the experiment of 1745 was lost sight of. Between that year and 1784, the tea duties were again tam pered with, and they fluctuated from time to time between 65 and 120 per cent. ad valorem. The natural consequences evinced themselves in a check given to the revenue, in unbounded smuggling, and in excessive adulteration. The enormity of the evil compelled the Government to try once more the policy of reduction. The duty was lowered, at one step from 119 to 12i per cent. The success of the measure was instantaneous. Smuggling and adul teration ceased—and the sales of the East India Com pany, which had been 5,857,883 lbs. in 1783, were 10,148,257 lbs. in 1784, and 16,307,483 lbs. in 1785. The revenue, instead of falling in the proportion of 119 to 12i, declined, notwithstanding this great and sudden downfall in the duty, only in the proportion of 2to 1. But the temptations to which financiers are too apt to yield, of raising more money for the Ex chequer, though at an increased pressure upon the public, once more prevailed. In 1795, and at several other periods between that year and 1819, the duty was again, from time to time, augmented, and in the latter year it was raised to 100 per cent. on teas above 2s. per lb. It would occupy too much space to exhibit, in detail, the results of all these fluctuations, for which wo must refer our readers to the Commercial Dictionaries. Suffice it to say, that they all tend to confirm the conclusion—as to the operation of a moderate duty in stimulating con sumption and revenue, and the reverse effect of an he determined to dispose of it, and he negotiated with 1 opposite policy—which had been illustrated by the the prisoner, with whom he had been acquai n t ed, for two great experiments of 1745 and 1784. the sale of it, and he ultimately agreed to advance to If our limits would allow us to go into similar de 'A itness 4751. for the purchase, and he paid 251. down, y tails respecting the fiscal alterations that have been and gave him a bill of his own acceptance for 369/.153., made, from time to time, in the analogous cases of at 14 days after date.

The The policeman who apprehended the prisoner said great reduction which has taken place in the market he searched him and found in his possession a letter price of the article has enormously increased the (now produced), of which the following is a copy, relative amount of the tax—so that the 4s. Excise duty of 1744 was a low per centege compared with the present. This reduction in price has operated ca late -sears to neutralise in some degree the prohibitory effects of the high duty, and at the same time to sus tain consumption. Still there can be no moral doubt that consumption—and we do not hesitate to add, re venue alsoewhich depends on it—is unduly checked, and would be found to expand to a very considerable extent under a relaxation of the duty. The revenue for the last two years—years of vastly increased importation in other articles—has not exhibited a satisfactory progress. The rate of consumption per head—which has been ascertained to be only lib. 10oz. as respects the population of England generally, while in the navy'it is Sibs' 40z., and in the workhouses 31bs. 4ez per head—justifies the belief that if the price were not so exorbitantly enhanced by duty, a much larger t.i.e of this universal beverage would take place. We cannot now advert to the important commercial con tic quences dependent on an extension of our trade with China, to the effect of an increased consump tion of tea upon the revenue derived from sugar, or to many other collateral considerations involved in' this question. At present, we confine our view to the propriety—not, - indeed, of a pro c ipitate descent from a high rate to a low one — but at least of a moderate and partial relaxation of this extravagant impost, as an act of justice to the poor, who are taxed to a degree much more than commensurate with the benefit derived by the Ex chequer. We do not, indeed, overlook the impor tance of sustaining the revenue of the country—far from it; but we are quite sure that in demanding relief from a duty of more than 200 per cent. on an article of universal consumption, we are advocating no change that can imperil the public income. Anti we may make hold to ask whether any Chancellor of the Examiner is to be found at the present day, who, while any practicable source of impartial taxs tion remains open to him, will undertake to vindicate, in the face of the country, a tariff which, while i . :, levies the rate of the duty above named upon the beverage of the poor, does not at the same time im pose more than from 60 to 70 per cent. ad valorem upon the more costly article purchased by the rich ? -Chronicle. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current, Nov. 16.) SI:MAR.—To day West India Sugar met with little attention for home trade purposes, and in some cases the rates acceded to were 61 per cwt under those current previously.

WE STM ST E • A fashionably-dressed man, about five feet six inches in height, of dark complexion,. with black whiskers, who has passed by the names of Thomas Tucker, Alfred Sinclair, Barclay, Wilis, Praed, and other aliases, was charged with defrauding Messrs. Rogers and Dean, of 23 and 24, St. George's-place , Knightsbridge, of a great quantity of valuable fur niture. Mr. BURRELL remanded the prisoner, who made nu reply to the charge, for a week. Mr. Games asked if he would accept bail ? Mr. BURRELL replied, certainly not. The prisoner was charged with fraud upon a most extensive scale. Robert Manly, Thomas Bentley, and William Caru'en, three well known burglars, were charged with entering the dwelling-house of Mr. Sheir6n, Westbourne-place, Belgrave-square, and stealing a gold watch and a great number of brooches, ring-, and other articles of jewellery of considerable value, as also two sovereigns. Tne circumstances were these :—Miss Sandford, a lady residing in the house with the family, at about a quarter past ten o'clock on the evening of Wednes day week d'scovered that her dressing case and a ,irawer in her bedroom had been broken open, and the valuable property stolen. Information was given to the police, and through the exertions of Mr. John Lund, inspector of the A division, and Sergeant Loom, of the B division, the accused were appre hended, and the case strongly proved against them. It was !flown, by the evidence of a girl who had been on terms of close intimacy_with Carden, that he and the other two went out together on the evening of the robbery, and returned in two or three hours, when Carden told her they had done something that night, and entered into a full detail of a robbery he and his companions had been engaged in, in the course of which he said there was a woman in bed in one of the rooms (which was, on other testimony, proved to be the case, the lady being an invalid); but that, had she stirred, he bad something in his hand which would have kept her quiet for some time. Carden then showed hers gold watch, which he said he had taken ; and then, at his request, she went to a pub lic-house in the neighbourhood, where Bentley was counting some money, which he divided with the other two. Bentley then gave Carden a bracelet, which he handed to the girl, and it was subsequently placed in the possession of Mr. Lund, and was identi fied as part of the stolen property. Carden subse quently found fault with the girl because, as he said, •• she would not mix in the ups and downs," when she declared she did not mean " to go out thieving, as he did," and complained of having been deceived by him as to his course of life. The officers engaged in the case had very properly corroborated her evidence as much as they possibly could by other testimony, a s it was elicited in cross-examination by Mr. Wontner, that she had been in Newgate herself for some offence previous to her living with Carden, and that on the morning when they parted, after the robbery, he gave her a black eye. Carden was found by Mr. Lund in possession of the key of t he lady's dressing case, which had been carried off by the robbers, who had effected an entrance to the premises from an empty house three or four doors off, by walking along the parapet and entering the attic window, which they forced open. They were all committed to the Central Criminal Court for trial. CLERKENWELL. James Sturland, a young man of respectable ap. pearance, Has placed at the bar before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged by Mr. Thomas Davies, chemist and drug gi=t, of No. 13, Hereford-row, Bayswater, with having uttered a forged bill of exchange for 3601. Mr. Sidney, the solicitor, attended for the prisoner. The prosecutor stated that he formerly carried on business as a chemist and druggist at No. 37, Red Lion-street, Holborn, but in consequence of ill health 441 to 451, and other sorts at 42/ to 431 103 per tun. The value of Lucca remains at 51.17 s 6d to 6/ per jar, end Florence at 17s to 21s per half-chests. With Palm the market continues to be scantily supplied, whilst the rates, paid for fine have been 32i to 4253 d per cwt. Cocoa Nut i offered at from 30s to 34 for low to fine, stills only small pat chases have been made, and large parcels are on elLr. Rapeseed Oil is still scarce, and former ad vanced rates are supported, but not much desire has been evinced to operate. The value of pale is 423 6d to 435, brown 41s 61 to 425, and refined foreign 42s 6d to 43s per en t. Linseed Oil has not improved in value, us production continues to get larger. The rates paid are 283 3d to 28s 6d on the spot. To-day of Cocoa Nut Oil 500 casks at auction were only in part sold at 32s to 35s . THE COUNTRY MARKETS. WAKEFIELD, Nov. 16.—The supplies of wheat and barley are great, and of other grain moderate. The trade is exceedingly quiet to-day, and there is very little passing in any article; the finest qualities of wheat are retailed at a decline of is per quarter, and for inferior samples there is little or no inquiry. Barley is in very limited request at a reduction of Is per quarter, and only the best meet with attention. Oats and bhelling maintain their late value. Beans sell slowly at a decline of is per quarter. New. Old.

Importers show no dispo sition to bring forward their stocks pending the present inactivity in the market, and the offices are consequently but badly supplied with samples. Refined goods find a. steady sale at former prices. Rum is held with some confidence, and the stocks in first hands are now much reduced.—Bristol Mercury. EXETER, Nov. 16.—Cattle Market. —The supply of beasts was moderate—that of sheep large. Fat bullocks sold at prices quite equal to those of last week, 8s to 8s 6tl per score, at which they met a ready sale. Cows and calves, 8/ to 131 each. There were but few steers in the market, some rough ones were offered at 6/ each, whilst for good bullocks, 121 to 131 was asked. Bar reners were also scarce, and must be quoted at 4s 6d to 5s per score generally, although some meaty bullocks must be quoted higher. The supply of sheep was large, about 300 more being driven in than on last Fri day. There was, however, a brisk demand, and the greater part were sold at rather higher prices than last week. Fat wetbers were worth 5d to sid per lb; and ewes, 4id to sd. Store sheep must be quoted is to 21 per head higher than of late; store wethers selling freely at 30s to 355. Pork Carcases—A pretty good supply, which sold at 6s to is 6d per score. Pannier Terkres, 4s 6d to 6s each; geese, 4s to 6s ditto; ducks; 3s ed to 5s per couple; fowls, 2s 6 , 1 to 4s ed ditto; phea sants, 5s 6d ditto; partridges, 2s 6d to 3s ditto.; wood cocks, 4s 6d to 5a ditto; snipes, is 6d ditto; roasters, 4s to 55 6d ditto; butter, lid to is ditto; eggs, 12 to 14 for Is. Cora Exchange, One o'Clock—Not many sam ples have been shown, nor has much business been done up to this hour. The millers were acting with great caution, and refusing to give more than 5s 6d per bushel for the best samples of warranted English wheat; we believe, however, that no very large quantity could be purchased at this price, and that were there much de mand prices would advance. Foreign wheat is now in a few hands, and there is no reduction on late rates, it still remains at a considerably higher relative value than English; for instance French red wheat, certainly much inferior to the best samples of Devonshire produce has sold at 42s per quarter, or 5s 3d per bushel—whilst for white wheat 46s per quarter was asked, but not obtained, and as foreign wheat is sold at 60Ibs the bushel, and English, when warranted, at 651bs, the difference in price is material. Malting barley is not in much request. and must be quoted at 3s to 3s 6d per bushel: Oats, 2s to 2s Id per bushel. Fine flour, 30s to 31s per sack of 2Solbs. BARNSLEY, Nov. 14.—A moderate amount of busi ness was.done in both wheat and barley, at the rates of last week. Butter was a little higher, and potatoes at last week's prices. KNARESH'ROUGH, Nov. 14.—The market was well supplied with wheat, barley, and oats, but beans were very scarce and higher in price. In wheat no alteration. Wheat, 4s 6d to 6s Od; beans, 4s 3d to 4s 6d per bushel;. barley, 24s to 28s; oats, 164 to 2Ls per quarter.

SCARBOROUGH, Nov. 14.—T0-day being Seamen, hirings, our market was but badly attended, the supply of grain was consequently but limited, though quitee equal to the demand.
