His Income-tax, therefore, is creating general discontent, and this ruler of the nation must, we believe, submit to be ruled also in this poiht, and abandon sooner than he wishes his be loved Income-tax. PEEL will henceforward be known as Income-tax PEEL, but he seems more likely to:get the name, than receive the produce of the tax. He who directs its course is the ruler of society, not the man who receives a large salary, 'and has the disposal of much patronage, to propose measures that cannot be executed, and who is glad to take laws from the wiser multitude, whom he pretends to govern. Whoever may be the ruler of this mighty nation, it is perfectly clear that Sir ROBERT PEEL is not. He only possesses the Treasury for the interest of a party. Hindostan under our command, and open to our trade, yet that trade is not of as much value as [e trade with the United States. Probably the statesman that planned these expeditions, was smitten with the gigantic amount of wealth obtained from Asia at former periods ; but he should have remembered that the plunder of a treasury, by which an adven turer is enriched, is very different from the re ciprocities of trade, by which small gains are made on both sides, and millions are benefited. He *might have known, too, that where a few Princes are very rich the bulk of the people are very poor, and that in such coun- tries fortunes are rather made by laying the Prince under contribution, than by exchang ing any commodities with his subjects. Opulent people, though Republicans, are better customers for a trading nation than the impo verished slaves, however numerous, ofany despot. The idea of extending our trade amongst the Asiatics by military expeditions seems to us one of the wildest that ever entered the head of a statesman. Commerce opened the way to India, and commerce established our dominion fsltist• 1 :?.? 4D there. We doubt whether arms ever repayed commerce the obligation, and extended our trade in the same proportion as trade gained for us au empire. Having seen the absurd idea we have adverted to boasted of by a Contemporary, we must, on behalf of the free-trade party, say they want no such auxiliary as war. They repudiate a trade which is commenced in slaughter. The freedom they ask for themselves, is freedom fin• all other men. They know that trade, to be lasting, must be mutually advantageous. Its bargains must not be made under the cannon's mouth. They prize trade too highly not to shrink back with horror from staining it with carnage. They know that if they rely on war to promote trade, they must tolerate war in extinguishing it. They snow if they seek favour fbr it from Princes, the atter vil I make it their slave. They know that f they call on Governments to promote it, they place its fate in the hands of politi cians, and make this great means of civil izing mankind, and connecting them all in one common brotherhood, subvervicnt to these petty interests and passions of statesmen. Know ing these things free traders will shake off with disgust and horror all alliance with those who profess the principle of promoting trade by mak- G. war. Accounts have been received from Madrid of e :22d instant, and from Barcelona to the 23th. The bombardment, which was to commence on the 94th, had been suspended, and negotiations had commenced between General VAN HALEN and the •Junta. Foreigners generally had gone on board the vessels in the harbour, but the English and French Consuls still remained in the city. CAMPREDON had recognised the Junta. The REGENT, before leaving Madrid, reviewed the National Guards, and was received both by them and the citizens generally with great en thusiasm. The Cortes had been prorogued till his return, in order, no doubt, to prevent seditious harangues respecting the insurrection at Bar celona. Previous to the prorogation, CALA TRAVA laid before the Chambers, by order of the RE GENT, a .succinct account of the national debt, with the proposed means for meeting the defi ciences of the revenue. It would be difficult, however, to give a satisfactory outline of his speech, and we shall, therefore, give it entire on the first opportunity, merely stating, that if the proposed plans were carried into effect there would remain a deficit of only 42,000,000 reals. The Three per Cents. were done at 21,1 for cash, and 22 at GO days, with 4 premium, for 2,200,000 reals; and the Five per Cents. at 254 for cash, and 26! ii 3 3-16 j at 60 days, for 36,200,000 reals. The articles in the Paris papers relate almost entirely to the election of a Deputy for the first arrondissetnent, and the affairs of Barcelona. The election was to commence yesterday, and close this day. The contest was between General JACQUEMINOT and M. PORTALIS, all the other candidates having retired. It was generally be lieved that the former would be elected. In al luding to the insurrection at Barcelona, the Na tional says, that, whatever may be the origin of the outbreak, the Christinos arc trying to turn it to their own profit. They predominate in the Junta, as three-fourths of the men on the list are known to belong to the moderate party, and these are openly devoted to MARIA CHRISTINA. BOURSE—PARIS, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 28.

The war with China being now brought to an honourable and satisfactory conclusion, we pre sent our readers this day with a comprehensive account of the country, and varied details of the late operations, together with a map, in which are laid down all the principal rivers and cities of that vast empire, and the five ports opened to British commerce. The origin of the war is well known, and it is therefore needless to refer to that subject. What distinguishes it from all other contests with different nations is, the,uni form success which in every encounter with the Chinese followed the British arms. From the capture of Canton, to signing the treaty - of peace off Nankin, not the slightest defeat has been sustained, and, with only one exception, the determined stand made by the Tartars at Chin 7 keang-foo, the English met with little or no re sistance. As a natural consequence, the loss of life among the British troops has been equally small. Though the war has been' continued for nearly three years, we had fewer men killed during that period, in the course of ten or twelve engagements, than sometimes fell in one obscure battle in the' Peninsula. Indeed, the only real fighting took place at Woo-sung, and in the Yang-tze-keang River, when the Tartar troops made their last desperate and nnsuccessful effort. If the cost has been small, the results are great almost beyond conception. - The Eng lish have a line of coast thrown open to them from Canton to Shanghae, a distance of from -a thousand to fifteen .hundred miles, with five ex cellent harbours, fit emporiums of trade for the adjoining districts and the numerous islands in the Chinese seas. They are to be placed on a footing with the subjects of the EMPEROR; Con suls are to be appointed at each place to watch over British interests; and, in addition to all these important concessions, complete compen sation is .to be made for the expenses of the war and the wanton destruction of property. With,these (advantages, so different from what England ever enjoyed in China, we may reason ably expect a great increase of trade both as regards imports and exports. Tea may be ob tained cheaper, a new field for the silk trade will be opened up, and it is not therefore to be wondered at that the commercial circles of Eng land hail with hope the prospect afforded. to them by the proposed new channels of trade with China. China seems to have been amply supplied by nature with every requisite for clothing but wool. The pecu liar husbandry of the- Chinese prevents their breeding either horned cattle or sheep, and hence, although amply supplied with silk, the inhabitants of the northern provinces shield themselvei from the inclemencies of the winter months by wearing the richer, expensive, and rare, and the poorer classes cheaper—kinds of fur. The great trade of Russia with China is fur in exchange for silk. What a' field thus opens for British commerce ! Th e vast plains of Australia can produce an unli mited supply of wool, and the power-loom ma chinery of England can weave and supply wool len fabrics at a price less than any nation in the world. If we refer to the statistics of the East India Company's trade we shall find that their principal trade has been in woollen cloths; and as the Zollverein are excluding these manufac tures, not only for the protection of their own trade, but also because the manufacturers of England supply themselves with wool from Australia, instead of using the fleeces grown upon the fields of the German States, this new market will employ our mills and thousands of our operatives. Again, France has hitherto, from the raw material supplied to her from the rsilk-rrrowing States of the Mediterranean, k Lad a large trade in manufactured silks, and the Rus,ians receive large supplies of silk ; both raw and manufactured, through Kiatcha and Malt machoui. The Americans are also large im porters of manufactured silk ; but when Great Britain has established ports at Ning-po and Fou-tchou, ports situated in the centre of the silk-growing districts of Tche-Keang, it is but a fair inference, drawn from past events, that it will be cheaper for the Rus sians to supply themselves in the markets of England, than to incur the heavy expense of 1,000 miles of land -carriage; and as we have seen that the steam machinery of England can com pete with the cheap labour of India, and has driven the cheap native manufacturer of cotton cloths from his native markets, the day may not be very far distant when the silks of China will be exported to England, and the manufactured product sold in the China marketbelow the prices _ . . . ~.. . at which the Chinese can manufacture. In deed, the silk manufacture alone opens a vast field to English enterprise. Millions of money were paid to Great Britain during the last thirty years for her manufactured cottons ; but as the world has advanced in luxury and civilisation, the consumption of silk has much increased, and the coarsereotton fabric find a market onlyin the poorer States ; or States little advanced in civilisation; and as the circle of manufactured cottons is narrowed, and as America advances in the ma nufacture of her own staple, a new market may be about to open to our mill-owners for the more costly manufacture, and Great Britain may, as she has hitherto done, take the lead in manufac tures adapted to the advance of the age, and the silk trade of China become as great as the cotton trade with America. The Chinese market has demanded large slip plies of our metallic produce. Copper has always sold well and as a long period must elapse be fore other nations will be able to compete with us in the supply of smelted metals; Eng land, by availing herself of her present position. will secure to herself alone the sterling com merce derivable from this important and ex tensive trade. It has been lately announced with pomp and triumph that the war against China was under taken to extend our trade, and place it on a se curer basis. We remember to have heard Lord PALMERSTON make a similar assertion in respect to the war in Affghamstan. It was to carry the commerce of England beyond the Indus. If the few remarks which we made on Tuesday con cerning the trade with Asia, and the peculiarities of Asiatics, be well-founded, the folly of such wars must be apparent. We have the whole of AMERICAN NEWS EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL. ARRIVAL OF THE CALEDONIA. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY NIGHT. We have received this evening, by the Royal Mail Steamer Caledonia, Captain E. G. Lott, which left Boston on the 16th, and Halifax on the 18th inst., our usual files of papers to the tithe of her sailing. The Caledonia has made the voyage from Halifax in 10 days 19 hours. The Great Western was to sail from New York on the 17th, and may be expected here to-morrow. The Acadia, which left here on the 4th inst., arrived at Halifax on the 15th, iu 101 days. The Caledonia has only a few passengers—amongst them Mademoiselle Celeste. The New York City and State Election, which Commenced on the Bth, had resulted in the complete overthrow of the Whig party, the Democrat candi date being elected by a majority of some thousands; most of the other States had also retured Democrat candidates • and the whole re su lt u p on t h e nex t Con *gress, would probably be a complete change of the policy and administration. The members who have been just elected do not, however, enter upon their functions until December 1843, unless an extra ses sion is convened after the 4th March next. The news from Canada is not important, but we regret to learn that the Governor-General had a severe attack of illness. According to the latest ac counts (Nov.llth), he was rather better. A shock of an earthquake of some severity was felt a few days since at Montreal, and several places ad jacent. The.

He was to be sent in a steam-boat to the Havannah, to be placed at the disposal of the Captain-General. Accounts from Vera Cruz have been received at New York to the 19th ult., stating that another ex pedition, of 3,000 men, under Don Jose Vincent Minon, had sailed for Yucatan by order of Santa Anna, to co-operate with the former detachment, and attack Campeachy.

This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the most perfect security in an ample paid-up Capital, and in the great success which has attended it, since its commence ment in 1834: In 1,':41 the Company declare') an addition to the Share holders of one-half of their Stock, and also added 21. per Cent. per Annum, from the date of the pdlicies to those par ties who had insured with Profits. The Premiums nevertheless are on the most moderate scales and only a moiety need be paid for the first five years, where the Insurance is for life.

ADVANTAGES OF THE ARGUS LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY. Low Rates of Premium. In addition to the subscribed Capital of £300,000, the As sured have the security of the Company's income of £50,000 per annum, yearly increasing, and an accumulating Assurance Fund invested in Government and other available securities, of considerably larger amount than the estimated liabilities of the Company. The rates of premium are reduced to the lowest scale com patible with the security of the Assured, and the stability of the Company, thereby, in effect, giving to every Policy Holder an immediate and certain Bonus without risk, in lieu of the deferred and frequently delusive prospect of a periodical division of Profits. One-third of whole term premium may remain unpaid at 5 per cent. compound interest, as a debt upon the policy for life, or may be paid off at any time without notice. In Assurances for Advances of Money, as security for debts or as a provision for a family, when the least present outlay is desirable, the varied and comprehensive tables of the Argus Office will be found to be particularly favourable to the As sured.

NOVEMBER 30, 1842 Who is the ruler of the St a t e ? Not Sir R OBERT PEEL, fur he is in a great measure carry ing into effect the plans of his predecessors. He has executed their schemes for reducing China to obedience, and he has completed their design of avenging our defeat in Affghanistan, though he/has refused to follow up their plan for retaining that country in subjection. Not Sir ROBERT PEEL ; for his plans for unsettling trade have pleased no party, and he must alter them. But a man who must do a thing is not a ruler, he is ruled. Who, then, we again ask, rules the country? and again we reply, not Sir ROBERT PEEL.

BANK OF CHARLESTON AND BANK OF MANCHES TER.—The Charleston Mercury says :—We are au thorised to state, that ample provision was made some time since, by the Bank of Charleston for the protection of the balance of its funds with the Bank of Manchester, with which bank they have kept only a p rt of their account for some time past. NEW YORK MARKETS. There is a fair demand for Exchange on London at 106 a 1064, and on France a sf. 421-c. The supply of bills is moderate and holders are firm. Cotton is in more request; prices, however, are heavy, and have a downward tendency. The sales to-day were about 600 bales, one-half of which was for export. There is no material alteration in the sales at the Stock Exchange since the last accounts. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. Stocks continue rather fiat though, as fewer sales nre making, they cannot be called so depressed. Consols present_ transfer are 9411 to 94:1-, and for Accoent 94 to 95. Exchequer Bills have not rallied, being 51s. to 535. premium, and India Bonds are heavy at 48s. to 50s. premium. Bank Stock is steady at 171 to 172, and the India Stock rather dull at 264 to 265.

The Spanish ma r k e t is not supported, owing to the nature of the accounts received to-day. The Active Bonds are 17i to 171, the Pas s i ve , n, and the Three per Cents., 221 to 22k. Mexican Bonds have been heavy at 30 to 30+, and Portuguese Converted, at 32 4 1 . The Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 52 to 52i. Railway Shares are nut quite so firm. Brighton, 14{ to 14i- ; Blackwell, 11 ; and Eastern Counties, 14 dis. South Western are 181 prem. The larger capitalists, as well as the Joint-stock Banks, finding more employment for their money, and at a better rate of interest, first class mercantile bills being done at 21 to 24 per cent., and others at 3 per cent. and upwards, are likely to withdraw some portion of their surplus assets from the public securities, and hence the decline which occurred in the Funds yesterday is partly accounted for.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. Notwithstanding our market to• day was very mode rately supplied with English Wheat, we have again to report a' heavy inquiry for that article, and in the few sales effected Monday's quotations were with difficulty supported. Very little Wheat has come to hand from abroad. The finest qualities were taken off on terms quite equal to those noted in our last report ; but all other sorts had a downward tendency. Barley and Malt hung heavily on hand, and in some instances further de pressed rates were submitted to by the factors. For the best Oats we had a fair inquiry, but the heated parcels might have Leen purchased on easier terms. Beans, Peas, and Flour were unaltered in value. AnnivALs.—English Wheat, 2,150 ; Barley, 860 ; Oats, 200 ; Malt, 630 quarters ; Flour, 2,020 sacks. Irish Oats, 12,130 quarters. Foreign Wheat, 1,360 qrs. ~~'IIITECHA'i'LL.

LA W IN TELLIG ENCE. QUEEN'S BENCH. -(THIS DAY.) THE QUEEN V. JOHN JONES. This was an indictment under the provisions of llobhousc's Vestry Act, against the churchwarden of the parish of Christ Church, Spitalfields, for that he, having received a requisition signed by more than 50 rate-payers, requiring him to convene a meeting of rate-payers to consider the propriety of placing the parish under the provisions of the Act of Wm. for the better regulation of vestries, commonly called Hobhouse's Act, had not stuck notice of the same up at the church door as required by the provisions of the Act, and had thus prevented the sense of the pa rish being taken on the subject. Mr. Montagu Chambers and Mr. Colley stated the case for the prosecution ; and Mr. Humfrey argued the case for the defendant, contending that, according to the proviso in the Act, none of its provisions should extend to any parish which was not part of a city or town, unless the ratepayers of such parish should amount to 800 in number. In the present instance the rate-payers Who were examined in Court, proved that the number of rate-payers in the parish, in 1842, when the requisition was presented, amounted to 773 only, and he submitted that the parish did not form part of any city or town. he Jury, under the direction of the Learned Judge, acquitted the defendant. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) O'CONNOR AND OTHERS V. MARJORIBANKS. The plaintiffs were Miss O'Connor and Miss Ross iter, administrators of the late George Garrow, Esq., of Madras, and the defendants were the bankers well known as Coutts and Co. The action was brought in trover to recover 6501., the value of a chest, of plate, which was detained by the defendants under guarantee of indemnity from a gentleman named Hodgson, who claimed a lien on the plate to the amount of 2501., the principal, and a further sum, the interest of a bill of exchange drawn by the late Mrs. Garrow on, and accepted by her husband, The ease for the defendant (conducted by Mr. Ser geant Born.As) was that the plate was lodged with the defendants as a security for the bill of exchange, when they discounted the latter. A number of wit nesses were examined in support of this statement. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD, for the plaintiff, argued from the evidence, at great length, that Mrs. Garrow hadno authority from the husband to pledge the plate, which was lodged in the care of Coutts and Co. only for its security. Mr. Justice CAMPBELL summed up.—Verdict for the defendants. EXCHEQUER COURT—THIS DAY. FIRMINGER V. HEMMING. This was an action for assault, alleged to have been committed by the defendant on the wife of the plaintiff. It appeared that the families lived adjoining each other iu St. John's - woo d, llegents-park, and that the plaintiff having been annoyed by the defendant's son, while in his garden, complained to his mother, in con sequence of whose abrupt answer, and order to leave the house, he had struck her and knocked her down, The defendant pleaded some circumstances i n mitt aul returned t. a verdict f or t h e plaintiff in th e sum The s ga i ti ° o ll f olout/r1.7 assault.

The insolvent stated that Lord Strathmore was deeply indebted t o him, in hotel accounts, and to the fact of his Lordship's not having paid them he attri buted his insolvency.—Admitted to bail. IN RE THOMAS WYNDMAN. This was the second appearance of the insolvent in this Court during the last 12 months. He now ap plied to be liberated on bail. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS commented, indig nantly, on his recklessness, in being twice insolvent in one year, and ordered him back to prison. IN RE HENRY MASON.

FITZROY SOMERSET.—(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)—WC regret to state that her Lady »hip met with an unpleasant accident on Saturday at Deal Castle, by a heavy roller-blind (with an iron rod, &e.. attached to it) falling upon her head, which was much cut and bruised. The effusion of blood that followed was very great, but we arc happy to add that under the skilful treatment of Dr. M'Arthur and Mr. Watt (surgeon of Deal), her Ladyship is rapidly re covering. , , j
