LONDON: TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 22, 1E:42. Sir, RoießT PEEL has had no hope from the first of carrying his income tax, but by a coup-de-marl Z. His plan was to take the country by surprise, and, if ,efore it had-recovered, to fasten his fetters securely around . it. For him, therefore, delay is tantamount to defeat, and we are happy to inform our readers that he was last flight delayed. The House, at an early hour , went into aCommittee of Ways and Means. The resolw don to impose an income tax was brought forward a d de bated till half-past 11 o'clock. Mr. BLEWII rx' then num ed that the Chairman report progress, but as that hour *wa§ . considered to early to intern apt the proc eedings of the House, Mr. BLEWITT'S 'motion was lost by a large majority. Another division was soon afterwards taken on a similar notion, and I again .the . Tories could boast of an it iamense ajarity ? the Whigs having stood neuter •, or sided' with the Tories. Still the Liberals were firr 1, and havin g again proposed to stop the proceei Hags, Sir ItanEn.t. PEEL gave way, and, thougi t his fOnowers grumbled, consented to report lora gress, wit h the intention of resuming the discussion on.' Wed ne: ;day, to lie, again, we earnestly hope, delayed am l ob stt acted in bia nefarious. and , insolent design of is flict adincome tax.'On the . ixiiddle classes, in order tilt it he ;y maintain the corn-Wad tax. Thellight.Hon. Baronet at the close of the prc coed with a subtle, .serpent4ikn softness, gliding, ; as it were, into the hearts of,Enen, professing the greate de sire to serve the people, entitle- greatest confidence i n the wisdom and virtue of his taxing schemes, beseeches! the House to assent tothis. resolution, .that he might in ake known to the public the beneficial—the amiable '2 ma chinery he has deVised to make the extracting 4 teir money by an income tax, the most delightful of operatii tits. :Like a tooth-drawer, he declared that he would inf lict 116 pain; only let him bring his newly-invented machinery into play, ; but like that.renowned artist, whose prom ises have passed into a proverb, he would be sure to den eive us. So the Opposition Concluded, having signified : . their , deterriination not to allow him to proceed. J:n ~his 'bla * Mlest manlier he threw on them the blame of not allowing him to make known to the publi a the new- .. nostrum . lie' has IliVented for ,levying an income tax, so that it shall not be felt, Just as he did on the discussion of the coCii-laws, he reproached the 01 po- Sidon with a design. to prevcnt the people from re ceiving' the great benefits he had designed for them. At the same time, we must observe, that the int on sistent,puin has explained to the country that. his 3 na chi nery to be that of the law of 1806 ; he admittt id too, after a little taunt, th athehasnootherrevelatio ns to.niake but 'some details, and yet that very honest that very religions man, Sir TnomAs ACLAND, hen Mr. Fox MAULE had honestly admitted that he for delay, the honest and religious Sir TnomAs fellewing Sir E. PEEL'S tortuous lead, -reproach4d' the Opposition with a determination to decide concerniag the measure before they knew anything about it. They wanted, lie Said, to keep - aknowledge of the mersur.! front the public. Sir ROBERT PEEL and Sir THOMAS A . Z.T.AND_ will find that the country is not to be deceived by .

PEEL has roused a host of i possible. ops. °news; I before whom, we 4elieve, he must soon succrank ~ . . The excitement throughout the country, raised by thEi much-dreaded impost, the income tax, becomes every day more intense. The people are recovering from their lethargy, and now seem thunder -struck at their own supineness in returning a house of Commons ready to support a Minister who issues a decree like a foreign despot, and, like him, also rejects all petitions and re monstrances against the inquisitorial measure. Of irbat use, say they, is the sight of petition, if we are .precluded from petitioning against a tax which abhor, and of w hi c h we knew nothing till, a v; s e fa a l: as we eare concerned, it became irrevocable? Since tie agitation of the Reform Bill we have not been so in undated with letters in the same time on any five sub jects of public interest, many of the writers exclaiming -- . - against Sir R.

' - , THE HIGHIAND SOCIE TY.--.This Society ce l e b rated the anniversary of the victory of Alexandria last night at the Freemasons"favern. The Duke of Cambridge was to have taken the chair, but owing to the unfor4l - death of the Earl of Munster, his Roy-al/Highness was prevented from attending. The Chisholm p res id ed, and the entertainment went off in true Highland style. We must defer the report till to- morrow, on account of the len : gal of the debate. CHARTIST CONFERENCE.—We have received through Me srs. Vincer4 Roberts, Philp, and Clarke, several communications impugning the accuracy of the rep ort given in th e N or th ern S tar, o f t h e l ate Chartist Conference at Bath. The Chairman of the meeting using t.l strong term, calls it a m i srepresentat i on, an d at a meeting held last week to consider Mr. Bartlett's report, it was de nounced in still stronger terms by a formal resolution, We hope the controversy will now cease. Several THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY MORNING-, MARCH 22, 1842 Notwithstanding the opposition to be given to the income tax in the House of Commons, we must inform our readers that they must rely on themselves, more than on the House of Commons. The gentlemen there, ou 1;oth sideS; are accustomed to take away millions from the people without the smallest regard to their rights and their property. Clothe a measure of extortion with the garb of financial necessity, say that it is required fOr' the Government to take away the pro perty of the people to any extent, and straightway both sides of the House shall vote that money must be taken out of one man's pocket and put into another man's pocket with as much nonchalance as they would deal a pack of cards. The too common prevalence in this country of that most dreadful of human maladies, insanity, is an ex cuse, if any be wanted, for thus early returning to the subject of Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET'S Lunatic Asylum Bill, upon which we offered a few ob servations in The Sun of Saturday. Other states of suffering, however appalling, can never be so terrible as this. The sickness of the heart is hard to be borne, but the patient can hear and compreled words of consolation and of hope— can with the eye of faith catch glimpses of bright worlds beyond the grave, when all help is denied in this state of being. But what is this to the closing of the windows of the mind which admitted the light of reason upon the soul— to the sad survey of the ruins of that noblest struc ture of God—the human intellect? What degree of suf fering can be compared with that in which the conscience is haunted with visions of imaginary guilt, in which the only creations of the fancy are images of duplicity, cruelty and fear, in which the burning brain, racked with pain and scorched with fire, retains no impression but those of wretchedness, and in which all else is tumult and distraction ? No, malady equal to this there is none. It is of human visitations the most terrible, and the most worthy of the ameliorating solicitude of the Legislature. We, therefore, call upon those who are disposed to support Lord G. SOMERSET'S Bill, to prevail upon that well-intentioned Nobleman to replace it by a much more extensive measure. Let him bring forward a National Lunatic Asylums' Bill, and we shall be ready to give it our best support. But we ob ject to any more partial legislation upon the subject, because at the best it is but a patching up of an evil which is universal, and which ought to be uni versally remedied. The statesmen of both parties are destitute of all notion of moral responsibility when they deal with the property of the.people, and they lavish it on expedition s into pestilential countries, or on gewgaws for palaces, with as thorough a recklessness as ever a youthful spendthrift wasted an unexpected inheritance. They seem to think that the Legislature creates the property it is constituted to protect, and that they may deal with the funds of hard and toiling industry, that they may seize the profits of ingenious exertion, and appropriate them by law to what they are pleased to call the service of the State, as if all the property of the people belonged to them. Against this vast presumption, now carried to an unusual length, the people have a good opportunity of pro testing. Let them, therefore, not rely exclusively on the Opposition in Parliament, but meet and plainly tell the House of Commons that it is constituted to protect their property, not to plunder it, on any and every miserable pretext. Sir ROBERT PEEL is only going a little fur ther than the Whigs went, and it is now for the people atlarge to say whether they will be extensively plundered by an income tax, or at once tell the Legislature that it must begin to learn the hard lesson of respecting the property of its constituents. The Madrid papers are of the 12th inst. According to advices from Girona, we learn that six companies of the line are closely pursuing the Cabecilla FELIP and his band, and that the Spanish brigands who wounded the French Custom-house Officers near Ceret, formed part of the troop of the factious chief, EL Mum Auto. The "Double Dealer," (the present soubriquet of Sir R. PEEL,) assured his agricultural friends last night in the House of Commons, that they need be under no alarm at the effect of his proposed alteration concerning cattle. Neither fat nor lean cattle, he said—neither dead nor live cattle—we presume he ought to have added, neither pickled nor fresh meat, would be brought,in underhis plan so as to have any sensible effect on the price of meat. To the working-classes, however, and to the community at large, this alteration has been held forth as a great boon. They have been told explicitly by the Right Hon. Ba ronet himself, and by his satellites, that the reduction of price caused by the alterations in the tariff were to com pensate them for the income tax. Now he tells the land owners that the principal alteration he is to effect will not reduce the price of cattle or at all injure the grazier. It will therefore be of no use to the community. It is thought a scandal to a lawyer to give Accounts from Figueras mention that 400 musket s 60 sabres, nine horses, and the Cabecillas MUCHACHO ZORRILLA, BEP DEL OLY, and BOQUICA, had entered by San Lorenzo de Sardas. The Constitucional of Barcelona complains of the smuggling which is carried on by the French steamers. It says, that, according to information obtained from one of the passengers of the Phenecian, a considerable quantity of prohibited goods were run ashore dur ing the night between Valencia and Alicante, and that a similar landing was effected between the former and our city. The Constitucional recommends most vigo rous measures to be employed, in order to put a stop to the illicit traffic which is being carried on with such im punity. " forked counsel, — Take provoking gold on either hand ;" but whit must be thought of the statesman who has one ready-coined fib for the consumer or the producer, as either may make a demand on his prolific mint? From the commencement of the Session till last night Sir R. PEEL has always had one tale for the landowners and another for the consumers. He is quite a master of the art of gulling, and appears to thrust his tongue in his cheek as he knowingly turns from the Opposition to his own friends with all the suavity and skill of a We might laugh, perhaps, at this exhibition of the low e vulgarity in the highest places as a joke, if its conse quences were less serious than the starvation of the peo ple and the ruin of the empire. Amongst the very absurd rumours in circulation at Barcelona, was one that Don Carlos had fled from Bourges in order to gain Portugal. There is a continued dearth of news in the French Journals. The Government has postponed for another session the settlement of the Sugar Question, to the ex treme vexation of the merchants of Havre engaged in the Colonial trade. Lord ABERDEEN'S version of his conversation with the French Ambassador obtains no credit in France. Even the most violent opponents of the Guizot Cabinet pro fess their adherence to the statement made by the Count de ST.' AULAIRE. To the of the Algerine conquests of France by England,lhey profess, however, unbounded indifference. We have heard a good deal in the House of Com mons, and out of the House of Commons, concerning the opinion which other nations will form of our con duct at this important crisis of our history. Great anxiety even has been displayed by the Premier himself, that the people should demean themselves in a manner worthy of their ancestors, and worthy of the reputation England has acquired in Europe. Everything which has been said in the French Papers of his grand oration and of his propositions, has been re-produced in our own. The public is sensibly alive to the opinion of the cheated slaves of Louis PHILIPPE and the pedant. GUIZOT ; it seems to wait with breathless eagerness to learn what the fettered and humiliated Press of Ger many may say of our willingness to receive the heavy yoke which the bread -taxers are preparing for us. Some part of the public look with delight for the praise which no doubt Prince METTERNICH'S organs, _laking their cue from Sir It. PEEL, will be ready to pour forth on the patriotism by which we sacrifice our liberties and our property to secure the ascendancy of the aristo cracy ; but there is one great nation, and we may say the germs of many great nations, whose opinions ought to be very dear to us, and which appear, as far ' as we have observed, to have been overlooked. What will the Republicans of the United States, sprung with ourselves from a common stock, inheriting with us a common literature, and speaking a common language, say of our submission to the inquisitorial income tax ? What will the people of Canada —what will those who have gone to New Zealand and New Holland, to build up_ free_ andinighty commonwealths —say to our setting them the example of permitting the tax-gatherer to pry into the books, and debts, and fees, and gains, of every man in the community ? What will those, who bear the name of. Englishmen in every part of the globe, say to our terrible degeneracy, .should we for the paltry object of placing a few hundred thousand pounds in the Ex.. chequer, consent to a law which is more tyrannical than any system of taxation known to the people Of Europa, whom we and they have always spoken of as no better than slaves ? Talk of the peasant of Germany eating i lArown bread, why, it would be better to eat the poorest sustenance that ever nourished the human form, and live • •free from the visits of the income taxer, than have in conjunction with them the richest viands that ever graced 'the table of the Lord Mayer. Let us reflect then, not on what the fettered and politically degraded inhabitants of Europe, will say of our submission to a system as tyrannical as that they live under, but let us reflect on the scorn and contempt which our submission to an in• qnisitorial income tax will call forth in the free minds of our race allover the globe, In America they will point the finger of contempt at an Englishman as the income- taxed slave of a bread-taxer. In our colonies our countrymen will view us with sorrow sacrificing that freedom they had vainly hoped to inherit from us, and vievv'us with sorrow preparing.the way for that complete subjugation of man to despotic authority which has been in all ages the curse of society. The Journal du Havre, of the 18th, has the following article i—" The resolution of the Chamber of Commerce has been received by the town with great pleasure, and unanimously approved. We could have wished that all other public bodies had taken certain steps to complete this manifestation of the general opinion. As soon as it was known on 'Change, the wish for a public testimony of thanks was expressed in all quitters." An address, signed by 135 mercantile houses, has been pre sented to the President and Members of the Chamber of Com merce, expressive of their approbation of the determination of resigning, which the Chamber had come to on the postpone. ment of the sugar question. The address severely blames the conduct of the Ministry, and declares that, , " After their post tive and reiterated promises to put an end, during the present year, to a situation intolerable for every interest; after the solemn announcement made by the Minister of Finance in the Chamber, that it was not possible to prolong the ruinous statu quo, in which all were placed ; after the sanction given by the Government to the Councils which it had consulted, an ad journment would be an act of effrontery, and a sacrifice by the Ministry of the interests of the country to electioneering con siderations."— Constitutionel. The Patriota of Madrid, of the 12th, speaks of the seizure of several hundred muskets on board a vessel which was in the Bay of Gibraltar, and which was supposed to be for the Carlo-Christinos. The Barcelona Journals of the 13th says—Among the absurd reports current in that city, was that of the fligkit of Don Carlos from Bourges, with the inte n ti on o f go i ng to P ortugal. —Le Commerce, 19th March. - - - ----- --• BOU USE—PARIS, SATURDAY, MARCH 19. .First Highest Lowest Last Price Pric e P r i c ..

One quotation in the Five per Cents., and one in the Three per Cents., had only yet been made when I left the Bourse just before the close of busi ness. It was generally believed tliat the capitalization of the Spanish Coupons would be opposed by the Paris stock brokers." • A duel was fought nn Saturday morning, between M. La crosse, a member of the Chamber of Deputies, and M. Gra- , nier de Cassagnae, a delegate from Guadaloupe, and editor of the Ministerial journal Le Glob*. They fought with pistols, `and M. Lacrosse was wounded in the leg. '1 he duel origi nsted in an article published 'by , Le Globe, in which M. Lacrosse and his fath er , a distinguished officer of the French navy, and former Governor of Guadaloupc, were spoken of in offensive terms. The domestic article's of the Paris Journals are upisn the sugar question, , which is creating a great stir in France. The following state ment , w hi c h has - reference, to the sugar question; is from a Havre . Paper The Chamber of Com merce, which had met to deliberate .on the course to be pnr;. sued in consequence, of the decision come to by the Ministry on the sugar question, has just separated after having come to a resolution, that after the .formal promises given, made by se veral members of the it is impossible for the Chamber to continue its functions. All the members have, therefire, given in their resignation. Two of them, MM. Clerc and De laroche, leave this ev en i ng for Paris, with instructions to tender these resignations to the Minister of Commerce, unless he should comply with the juscrernonstrances of the Chamber." An Address, signed by 135 mercantile houses of Havre, has been presented to the President and Members of the Chamber of Commerce of that town, expressive of their approbation of the determination of resigning, which the Chamber had come to on the postponement of the sugar question. The Address se verely blames the conduct of the Ministry, and declares that "after their positive and reiterated promises to put an end during the present year to a situation intolerale for every interest ; after the solemn announcement made by the Minister of Finance in the Chamber, that it was not possible to prolong the ruinous statu quo in which all were placed ; after the sanction given to the Government by the councils which it had consulted—an adjournment would be an act of effrontery and a sacrifice by the Ministry of the interests of the country'to electioneering considerations." The Madrid Chamber of Deputies decided on the 12th inst., by a majority of IL against 14, that the members of the Legis lature who accepted offices, favours, or decorations from the Government should not be disqualified for re-election. An article from Pes h, in the Journal de Frarkfort, an nounces the publication of the charter for establishing the first Hungarian National Bank. It is dated Vienna, October 14, 11441, and is written in Latin. This charter, which is granted for twenty-five years, was given on the demand of 82 commer cial houses in Pesth, and their names are inserted in the docu ment. The bank will hold its place of business at Pesth, and its capital is fixed at 2,000,000 florins. We find the following letter from. Constantino ple , dated the 23d ult., in th e A ugs b urg Gazette:—" A report is current that the whole of Mount Lebanon is in a state of insurrection ; the Druses and Maronites have united, and driven from Deir-el-Kamar the whole of the Turkish garrison, amount-.

French, English, and Egyptian emissaries are said to be spread over Syria. exciting the inhabitants to revolt against the authority of Tut key.

The Duke of Wellington announced last night that he would this day move the adjournment to April 7. A few petitions were received, a few papers were laid on the table, the Ecclesi astical. Residences Bilhcas read a second time, and a Bill to de fine the jurisdiction at Q uar t er S ess i on was read a first time and then their Lordships adjourned. The Speaker informed the House that V- e petition against the return of Messrs. Cochrane and Mitchell for Bridport is not to be prosecuted. In answer to Mr. Duff, Sir Robert Peel admitted that he could make no progress with the tariff before Easter. In answer to Mr. Lindsay, Sir Robert Peel stated that the Governor-General of- India had been ordered to inquire into the price of opium at the time it was eized at China. In answer to Mr. Shaw, Lord Eliot said that no alteration was to be made in the appropriation of the grant for education in Ireland. A brief discussion took place as to the business of the House, in which Sir R. Peel expressed his determination to adhere to his own plans, and force forward his income tax proposition as fast as possible; thereupon Lord John Russell gave notice that he should divide the House against it at every stage, The House went into a Committee of Ways and Means, and the resolution to impose an income tax was again put. Mr. Hawes opposed it in a speech of some length, concluding with a declaration that he would oppose the measure by all the means in his power. Mr. Alderman Thompson supported the resolution, and held up some raffish states as a warning for us. Sir W. Clay admitted the financial difficulties,, but con tended it could be remedied without having recourse to a pro perty tax. A considerable debate ensued, Mr. C. Wood and Sir George Grey being two of the chief speakers, which terminated at a Quarter-past One, after two divisions, in both of which the Tories had large majorities, by th e Ch a i rman reporting pro gress and obtaining leave to sit again on Wednesday. PIYELIC °PINYON. The Morning Post observes, in reference to the income tax The Minister does not deny that there are objections to the tax which he proposes. He does not deny the force of the objection that it institutes an inquisition into private affairs ; but, apart from that, he declares his belief that it is one of the best of taxes ; and he maintains that considering what it is ne cessary to do, consequent upon the continued neglect of the late Government, it is the least onerous and most just tax which he could propose. The Whigs would prefer taxing the people's food by a fixed Bs. duty on wheat, and additionally taxing the various articles whi c h t h e mass of the people con sume 1" The Morning Adcertiser thus notices the master-nuisance of the income tax :—" It is not the amcunt of money taken from the pocket, burdensome and oppressive as that will in many instances be, but it is the mode in which the assessment will be made, that will be found to operate with the greatest severity on those who see called upon to contribute to the in tended income tax. In every place there will he local com miss'oners, whose invidious duty it will be to pry into the cir cum tances of their neighbours, and, as it is chiefly in his own vicinage that every man desires to be free from scruti nising curiosity, it may be conceived how generally obnoxious will be the carrying into effect of the plan proposed by the Go vernment." The Herald denounces the income tax in the following striking and sensible terms:_." It is urged that as the tax has only to endure for three years, and that as, even during that period, the payers will be compensated by the reduced cost of living, and the rew impulse which will be given to trade and industry, the objection to levying an equal impost on income derived from labour and property is unimportant. Were the abandonment of the tax at the conclusion of three years as certain as the compensation, we might admit—as indeed at first we were inclined to do—the practical unimportance of the objection. But what assurance has the country that the tax is to el dtare only for three years ? The sanguine " hopes" of a Minister in proposing the impost are the only gua rantee. Sir Robert Peel, it cannot be overlooked, has not urged a single argument--not the shadow of an argument —in support of the uniformity of the tax he has proposed. All that he says is that the tax " ought to be universalv made upon all the income of the country," upwards 'of 1501. We assert that it ought not, because a tax on the profits of trade and professions is frequently a tax on capital and expenditure ;1 because the profits of income are fleeting and evanescent ; because such profit depends on ability to labour, on health, public tranquillity, and a stable course of trade ; because the average of three preceding years', or of even the previous year's profit is no proof tha t it is the existing amount of profit ; and because the amount of profit, on a return of sales, atter dis oharging trade expenses, is not a just criterion of the amount of profit really received by the trader. Bait, defective, and oppressive as is the French system of licensing trade, it is a' thousand times more, just in its operation than the levying of a uniform per centage on incomes, however derived." The Morning Chronicle says :—" An income tax is bad enough in itself; but Fir. Robert Peel certainly contrives to add to its intrinsic mischievousness, by the - violence of the means to which he has recourse for the purpose of imposing it' on us. To carry such a measure without allowing the people to express an opinion on it, seems to us to be among the greatest outrages on the rights of the' subject that any Minister, with a servile majority at his back, has ever ventured to per petuate since the,revelntion. We are firmly of opinion that suet) is the general determination to support the honour of the nation and the efficiency of the public service, that the coun try 'would have submitted without a murmur to almost any other tax than an income tax. But even supposing that the vice s were sound with regard to the gene ral run of taxes, it would not hold good in the Case of so entire a change of the whole, system of tax ation, as Will be introduced by the adoption of an income tax in time of peace. If now adopted, it is not going to end with a mere three per cent. and a three year!' duration. It is far more probable that the only change made at the end of three years will be'in augmentation of the per centage, and a riveting of this intolerable burden on our shoulders by the abolition of the existing sources of revenue. We should be the last to recommend to the Liberals in Parliament a merely obstructive policy, or to delay the Minister for the mere sake of delay and annoyance- But to delay bad measures until the country shall have had the opportunity, of speaking out, is a T o ir v e os n i s t t i l o r n e .; it a i n s d on t e ho o s f e t . w he ho c , hi o e u f advantages fi a o b f I ea Parliamentary obstruction. appealing to public o pinion, do such a que s ti on , ' s h r i n k f rom not take the right course, if their object be that of either not long being in opposition, or that of serving their country while in opposition. The Times, recurring to the question of the income tax, says---" Tax' those who can afford to pay—taz 'those who are to benefit by the taxation. Tax all, therefore, in proportion throughto their it wealth. you t x Tax a that incom e which i f s you the sourcelike, b of ut u t o a o x it o ; tax i only so far as it is a representative or pledge of wealth.

P ee l hi m self cannot help announ c i ng , if even while in the act of violating it. We are sorry that Sir Ro bert Peel's measure, so boldly conceived and so ably suk ported, should be soiled by this blot. It has laid on us the necessity of saying that which we would willingly, if we could honestly, have avoPed. Such as it is, however, we must speak our minds of it."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, MONDAY EVENING. Business in the English Stock Market has been extremely doll to-day, scarcely a bargain having been made, and then only to a trifling amount. Prices at the close of business were not quite so high as at the commencement, but the variation is merely a shade. Consols for Money left off at 89 1 / and for the Account at 894 , Exchequer Bills were .also flat at 28 to 30 premium. The Foreign Stocks are dull and declining. It has at length been acknowledged that no real cause existed for the late rise, and that the circumstances of the several states are not such as would have warranted it, Portuguese Three per Cents. were last quoted at 20 20* ; the Five per Cents. 34 1 4 3%. Co lombian, 26 to 26*. Mexican, 41 to 41 1 4. Spanish, 24 4. The price of Belgian was 103 to 104. Brazilian, 70 to 71. Dutch Two-and-a-Half.per Cents., 521 t ; the Five per Cents., 103 to 103%. Railway Shares were not in much demand, but prices re main the same ' Birmingh am b e i ng 85 to 87 ; Great Western, 26 to 27 ; the Half-Shares, 13* to 13 premium.

An order issued by the East India Company created some little sensation to-day. It requires that all officers on furlough below the rank of Lieutenant-Colonels, who may have been ab sent for twelve months from India, shall immediately proceed to join their respective regiments. (From The Sun of Last Night.) Business generally appears still unsettled, and probably will remain so until the new plans are decided one way or the other. The produce and stock markets are comparatively deserted ; nevertheless the prices of English securities remain, as on Sa turday, with a firm appearance, Consols being 894 4 for Money, and S9i for the Account; New Three-and-a-Half per Cents., 99h to 994 ; li.dia Bonds, 9toll ; and Exchequer Bills, 29 to 31 premium.

A military Correspondent has obligingly favoured us with the following " EXTRACT OF A LETTER 'DATED CAMP HATRAP, JANUARY '2l, 1842. • " The overland (Englis'aman) will give you full details up to the murder of Sir W. M , Naghten, Boyd, and Trevor, and I have heard nothing since. Whatever happens afterwards, and whatever policy Lord Ellenborough may adopt, it is quite clear we must establish our supremacy in Affghan. There are some 10,000 troops with two Queen's at Peshawar by this time, only waiting for the winter to pass ; and if they can only hold out at Cabool till the end of next mouth, I think those gents. will get a lesson. No notice yet taken in general or ders of any one said to be killed, and there are some thirty at least. No rumours of Burnes and M'Naghten's successors. 'ye are all quiet elsewhere." Our correspondent, in sending this extract, writes—" I call your attention to the above extract from a letter from an old brother officer in Camp Hatrap, on his march to Delhi. You will observe the date, and remember that the letter goes straight to Bombay. You will doubtless think with me that the report of the force having left Cabool and having been ex terminated, is not w ort h a straw. Hatrap is about 30 or 40 miles N. or N.B. of-Agra. " Harrogate, March 18. 1842." Sir,—Should the: following extracts of a letter from the wife of my brotbe r, Brevet Major Bellew, Assistant-Quar ter-mastei-General with th e f orce in Cabool be acceptable for insertion in your paper, at this anxious moment, they are much at your service. I cannot help auguring well from them, and that the accounts of the massacre of our troops in the Khoord 'C'Abool Pass, stated to have been eonveyed by Dr. Bryden to Jells 'abaci, are without foundation. Mrs. Bellew's letter is under date the 15th of January, from Mupoorie. Lady Sale says nothing of an immediate attack having been made on the troops on their leaving the cantonments, as stated in Dr. Bryden t 's supposed account. March 16, 1 842. W. BELLEW. EXTRA CTS. " On the 18th of October he (Major Bellew) having been engaged in tt ie first action of the passes, returned from General Sale's. force to Cabool, and stayed there with the apparent intention of accompan) inn General Elphinstone, also sick, to India; the sudden insurrection will have de tained him at 'Cabool. On the 19th of November, he wrote on a slip of paper a note for the Secretary to the Military Fund, Calcutta, &c. &c., and footed it with a Yew lines to me, to the following effet.:t ;—' We lost Cabebea the 2d i ns ta n t, and have been besieged in cantonments ever since. Unless a split take place among the rebel chiefs within a month, the position of our force will.be very critical.' This strip of paper was for warded to Jellalahatl, and thence to me, by Colonel Monteith, on the 18th of December, with the friendly assurance that he ad every just reason to believe that Bellew was well on the /th of December, the date of General Elphinstone's last des patch. lice. &c." " On the 13th of December another most decisive action in our fav our took place, butt no particulars have reached us beyond that the suffering among the rebel chiefs has been so heavy, th they are willing to, surrender at our terms. From all ac c, nits it appears that peace is for the time established, and that both parties are :negotiating. The latest news from Kurnaul says that our troops are still in the Cabool can • tonmont, and that having eigned a peace, effected through our prisoner, Dost Mahommed's son, Akhbar Khan, they are well sv.plied with food and necessaries. A previous report stated that they were reduced to the necessity of eating their horses. ; and before that a letter from Lady Sale, dated two mar ches• on this. side of Cabool, communi cated to Mrs. E__, at Simlat, that the troops a ere en route to Jellalabad, under 'lle escort of the Dost's son and brother, having capitulated to the following terms That Sujah be acknowledged and s:etained as their King, and the Dost be sent up as their Vi!iier, and the British troops evacuate Aff ghanistan.' " ELECT - 1 0 NCoNIMITTEES. WIGAN. The Committee m et at eleven o'clock in' Room No. 4, Mr Hawes in the chair. • The scrutiny on t he part of the petitioners was proceeded with, and the first vi rte objected to was that of Henry Alaudes ley, No. 302 on the . register, house in Scholes. It was proved that the voter had removed prior to the elec tion, and the vote wa s struck off. William Corless, I Jo. 120 on the registry, house in Millgate, was next objected to on the part of the petitioners on the same round. .Mr. Wardle, an t Luctioneer in Wigan, • proved that he dis grained the premises prior to the election fee 18/. due to Mr. Woodcock, the.lan tilord, and that the voter's daughter became tenant to Mr. Wortticoek. Catherine Corless. proved that she succeeded her father in the tenancy in January, 1841. Mr. Wardle threatened that if her father voted for the sitting Members, Mr. Potter, one of his creditors would come and d es t ia i n hi m . She nays ' her father nothing out of the be;siness. She lent him money, but she sti pulated that she sho' old he paid by her father. She paid 18/. a-year rent. The CHAIRMAN said the Committee would desire to hear the vote supported. Mr. TALBOT, for the sitting Members, contended that the case was one of joint tenancy, and though the rent paid was only 18/., and, therelfore, not sufficient amount to establ.sh a vote in a case of je int te nancy , t h at abjection should have been taken before re gistration. The witness, Catherine • Corless, was called back, and, in answer to Mr. KEMB LE, said, that Mr. Potter threatened her father, because her father owed him money. Mr. Potter did no: put his threat into execution after he voted. She paid the rates herself since she became tenant. The vote was struck off. This placed Mr. Cross and M — r. Standish equal on the p ull. John Stringfellow 'xi is next objected 0, on the part of the petitioners. -The vote of John Stringfellow was struck off. This I laced M. Stan.dish in a majority of one over Mr. Cross, one of the sitting _Members, and in a minority of four under Mr. Greenall, the second sitting Member. Wm. Sizer Barker, house and shop, ,in Hallgate, was then objected to on the part of the sitting Members. James Hainsough, assie tant overseer of poor's-rate in Wigan, proved that Barker was rated in Mareli, 1840, for his house in Hallgate. A different person .was rated in October, Ib4o. The house was empty in 3 larch, 1841. , The vote was struck of f. William Pearson was th e next vote objected to on the part of the sitting Members. The evidence was similar to that in the last case. . . Mr. Cross being restored to his position on the poll, Thomas Worthington vas objected to on behalf of the peti tioners. John Green the landlo - ..d proved the determination of the voter's tenancy prior to ti e election. Counsel for the sitting Members contended there was not sufficient evidence to idea zify the voter. The room was cleaied. The vote was struck off. Peter Moon was the next voter objected to on the part of the petitioners. The vote was struA off. It was now the turn of the Counsel for the sitting Member to object, Mr. Standish being placed above Mr. Cross on the poll. Joseph Harrison was accordingly objected to. The assistant overseer a poor's-rate proved the change of the tenant's occultation. The vote was struck off. Wm. Le, house in Hallgate, was next put forward by the Counsel for the sitting MI anbers. The overseer of poor 8-74-ate proved that Le was rated up to October, 1841. William Atkinson prove -d that he succeeded Le in occupation of his premises on the 3d o f June, 1841. Le had a small room in the house ; it was by w i tnesses permission that he kept the room. It was not worth IQ/. Vote struck off. ' The next vote, that of R , sbt. Wall, was objected to on . the part of the petitioners, Mr. Cross being again placed at the head of the poll. Edward Wardle rroved that the voter had changed his occu pation. The vote was struck off.. John Perrino:Mil •Nas next objected to by Mr. Slade on the part of thenetir,ers, but the Committee did not pronoun ce any decin tf.te case, having adjourned till 11 o'clock to morrow mornir.g. This leaves Stir. Cross and Mr. Standish equal on the poll, and a majori'iy of five in favour of Mr. Greenall. - - WEYAIOUTH AND MELCOMBE REGIS. The Committee were Occupied the whole morning with the case of a voter named Jacobs, objected to on the part of the pet itionerson the ground of disqualification. The vote of Jacobs was struck 'nut, as was also that of Richard Watson, on the same ground. Tile Counsel for the sitting Alembens now objected to the vote of Richard Ludlow, deceased, for the petitioners; and ' ttey proposed to call IVlrs. Ludlow, to prove the invalidi,ty (if her hu s b an d' s vdte ; but the Counsel -on the other side con tended th at s h e could not be called to give evidence againsthe husband's int erest, This was the rule of the Courts ut Law. After some a rgument, t h e Comm i ttee d ec id e d or, hearin g Mrs. Ludlow, if ber evidence were voluntary. Ludlow - then came forward and gave voluntary evi dence, The question was undecided when the Committee adjourn GREAT MARLOW. The Committee met again ves! e: day morning at e leven.
