The Money Market looks good, and there is a prospect of improvement, but it is generally admitted that there must be certain modifications in Sir R. Peel's plan to give confidence to the middling classes. It is suggested that the income-tax should be lowered and a graduated property-tax imposed so as to bring up the reduction. The monopolists as usual are dis sati:fied, and the Canadian timber people grudge the reduction on the Baltic article. They may think themselves lucky the alteration is not more liberal, but at any rate they mean to try Sir Robert's pliability, for a deputation goes up to-day.

(Before Vice-Chancellor WIG RAM. ) His HONOUR was engaged during the day in the further hearing of a cause of Sharp v. Taylor. We shall give an outline of the case when the Court has delivered its judgment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) George Fowler, a respectable-looking country lad, was brought up under the following circurastanees : Mrs. Mary Cass 11 stated that she had been in the City to receive some money, and having transacted her 'business she took an omnibus, with the view of reaching her home early. She had not been in the omnibus long when two persons left it, and she found that she had lost a bill of exchange for 601. She immediately took a coach aed proceeded to the firm of Messrs. Antrobus and Co., the bankers, in the Strand, where the bill was made payable. When she arrived there she found the prisoner there, who was just about presenting the bill for pay ment, in exchange for which he asked for six 101. notes. She spoke to the clerk, and he asked the prisoner where he got the bill ; he said a gentleman rear the door had given it him, and had told him to get change for it whilst he waited near the door. A policeman was immediately sent for, and he went to the place where the prisoner said the man had promised to stop, but no such person was to be found. The prisoner was not one of the men who had been in the omnibus. Policeman, F 120, corroborated the latter part of the prose trix's evidence. _ _ _ The prisoner, in his defence, stated that he was a basket maker by trade, and had come to London from Faversham for the first time on Monday last ; he was now living with his - aunt in Churchway, St. Pancras. On the day in question he was proceeding along the Strand in company with his cousin, a little boy about ten years of age, when a man called to him, and asked him to go to the bank and change the note. Prisoner replied that he was a stranger, and did not know anything about banks. The man said, " You see those black railings ; that's the house; go there, and ask for six ten-pound notes. lam going in here to get a glass of gin." He then went to the house pointed out, and handed in the note, when he was taken inte custody. Mrs. Jervis, the prisoner's aunt, a respectable-looking woman, proved that the prisoner had come to London on Monday for the first time, and sbe was sure that he would not be capable of doing anything wrong. John Jervis, a young lad about 10 years of age, was next examined. He undorwent an extremely minute examination by Mr. Hall. His statements in every particular corresponded with what had been said by the prisoner, and were delivered in so ingenuous a manner as to leave no doubt in the minds of the Court as to the correctness of his statements. Mr. HALL then, addressing the prosecutrix, said—You have heard the evidence ; there is no reason to believe that there is any collusion between the parties who have given evidence in this case. The prisoner's appearance is that of a cmintry boy, and it is very likely indeed that he has been made the dupe of some more designing person. He was not in the omnibus, and I think it very probable that the person who sent him in with the bill saw that he was a rustic, and fixed on him as a proper person to carry out his infamous designs. The place where the man remained, when the prisoner went in with the bill, appears to have been so situated that he could see him come out, and could, of course, see the police man go in and come out. The persons who stole the bill may y.,?.t be apprehended, and then this youth will be forthcoming to identify the man who gave him the bill. Then (addressing the prisoner) he said, " You are discharged, and there is not the slightest imputation on your character." MARLB ORO UGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) James Laurence, a young man known to the police as the associate of thieves, was placed at the bar, charged with bur glary in the residence of J. F. Archhbold, Esq., barrister, N 0.17, Park-street, Queen. square, Westminster. It appeared that, on the night of Thursday, the 3d instant, Mr. Archbold's house was broken into by means of a kitchen-window, that was left unfastened, being pushed up, and a hole being bored through an inside shutter, by means of which the fastening bar was displaced. The delinquent, it would seem, remained for an hour on the premises, and having got into the wine cellar, regaled himself with some choice old wine, and a plum. pudding which was taken from the larder. The property missed on that occasion was but of trifling amount, being only a violin, an accordion, two opera-glasses, and a silver ring ; the value altogether being about 81. No trace, however, could, at that time, be gained of the robber ; but yesterday morning the prisoner was seen to climb out of the area of Mr Archbold's house, and, on being taken into custody, four duplicates relating to the previously stolen property, were found upon him.—The prisoner was fully committed. WORSHIP-STREET--(THIS DAY.) A decent-looking mechanic, named John Morris, was charged with having stolen a turnip, value one farthing, from the shop of James Smithurst, a green-grocer in Edward -street, City-road. The complainant stated that on Saturday evening the pri soner, in passing his shop. helped himself to a turnip, which he began eating before his face, and as he suffered daily from such petty depredations, he thought himself justified in giving the prisoner into custody. The policeman said that on receiving charge of the prisoner, the latter threatened to knock him down, if he presumed to detain him on such an accusation, but he went quietly to the station-house, without attempting any violence. The prisoner was bailed out by his friends soon after he was locked up. In answer to the charge, the prisoner complained bitterly of the harsh conduct that had been pursued towards him, and said his character must have been well known to the complainant, as he had lived ifive years in the very neighbourhood. His taking the turnip was a mere thoughtless act, and he would have paid for it most willingly if he had been allowed to do so. Alr. BROUG HTON said that it was a most trumpery charge, and the policeman would have exercised a sound discretion, if he had refused to take it.—The prisoner was discharged. UNION-HALL-(THIS DAY.) AN INTRUDER.—Frederick :Harmer, a young man, was charged with being found concealed in the house of Mr. Tre hern, a solicitor, at Brixton, for an unlawful purpose. The policeman gave the magistrate a letter from that gen tleman in which he stated that since Harmer had been in cus tody, he ascertained that he was paying honourable addresses to the housemaid, and that he merely came to the house to have a stolen interview with his sweetheart, knowing that followers were not permitted there. That he (Mr. Trehern), therefore, under all these circumstances, did not wish to appear to press the charge. _ _ . The MAGISTRATE said that Mr. Trehern, being a solicitor, ought to have known better than to give the young man into custody, without appearing, at all events, to state the nature of the charge against him. The Magistrate then regretted that the accused was put to the inconvenience of being locked up, and discharged him forthwith. - - -- - THE MARKETS.--(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE.

On Saturday morning about two o'clock the Angel Inn, English-street, in this town, was discovered to be on tire, but, by the prompt arrival of the engines, the flames were subdued in about an hour. On examination of the premises, however, by Mr. Graham, superintendentof police, ample proof appeared that they ha I been wilfully set fire to, and he immediately took into custody Mrs. Christopherson, the landlady, her ser vant, and daughter. At eleven o'clock on the same day they were examined before the Magistrates, when Mary Blaylock the servant, confessed to having prepared peat, wood, shavings, and other materials by her mistress's order, to burn the house, for the purpose of recovering the insurance upon the premises, which was 501. upon her stock, and 3501. on her furniture, under a promise to convey her to America to her husband. Mrs. Christopherson recriminated by laying the blame of the proposal to the girl. The prisoners were then removed and ordered to be kept in separate confinement. The navigation of the Rhone by steamers, between Lyons and Avignon has been resumed, after 52 days' interrup tion, on account of the lowness of the water. THE SUN, LONDON . MONDAY EVENING-.

Peel, in submitting his financial statement to the consideration of the House of Commons on Friday evening last, justly remarks, that to diminish the duty on British plantation sugar without admitting foreign sugar to our markets to compete with it, would be to increase the bounty already conferred by monopoly on the West India sugar producers, and that such a reduction would not benefit the consumer, while it would infallibly damage the revenue. He then proceeds to state that if her Majesty's Govern ment were not embarrassed by the Slavery question, it might be of great advantage to propose a reduction of duty on all descriptions of sugar, but that he can not consent, nor can those with whom he acts consent, to permit the importation of sugar, the produce of Brazil and Cuba, without making some stipulation with respect to the state of slavery in those countries, especially Cuba. He then goes on to admit, that, be sides being of advantage to the revenue, if the com petition were free, it would also be greatly to the ad vantage of the West India b e to en courage the consumption of sugar, &c. Would not a person ignorant of the actual state of the case, ima gine from the foregoing remarks, that sugar is pro duced in no other parts of the world, excepting the British possessions, Cuba, and the Brazils ; and that because it is raised by slave labour in the two latter countries, that Her Majesty's Government is reduced to the dire necessity of either making the consumers in the United Kingdom pay threefold the value of the sugar they purchase, or encourage slave labour by allowing its produce to compete with that raised by free hands ? If Sir Robert Peel clings to the notion that the community at large is so uninformed, as not to perceive the fallacy of the position he has assumed, he clings to an error which will be fatal to his admi nistration. The British people know as well as he knows, that sugar is raised by free labour in large quantities, in various parts of the world, and they also know, as he does, that mixing up the ques tion of slavery with that of the admission of foreign sugar, is nothing more or less than a pitiful manoeuvre, practised for the purpose of en riching, at their expense, the West India proprietors, not on account of any services rendered by them to the mother country—services they have rendered none ; on the contrary, the West India Colonies have ever proved a most costly appendage to - Great Bri tain, a drain on her wealth, and a grave for her gal lant sailors and soldiers.* It is quite clear, therefore, the West Indians are not propitiated for their merits. The truth is, they happen to form an influential class in the State, without whose aid Sir Robert is aware he would not be able to maintain the position of Pre mier for a week. Come what will of it, then, he must buy their alliance, although not by another open gift of twenty millions, yet by an indirect mode of getting at our pockets through the interven tion of a close and vicious monopoly, which will yield them incalculably more. The public may rest assured, that the bargain driven by Sir Robert with this baneful class has, in plain English, been * Let the reader ascertain the numerical strength of any regiment at the period it was embarked for the West Indies, and after it has served the usual time in those colonies let him add the number of recruits sent hence to reinforce that regi ment, and deduct from it the soldiers who return home, and he will have the amount of'life sacrificed in one regiment for the sake of our sugar proprietors. this: Support my sliding-scale for the sake of the landlords here, and as a recompense, your sugar monopoly, however at variance with other measures I may propose, shall not be touched. How the land lords of Great Britain may relish the partnership, is difficult to say, but they are now compelled to fra ternise with West Indian lords of the soil, and, like Lockit and Peachum, in the Beggar's Opera, turn to, each other and exclaim, " Brother, brother, we have' both sinned," &c. The harmony of these allied land lords will be presently disturbed by a third class—a legion, namely, the consumers, who will demand from Sir Robert Peel a reason why they are de barred the use of sugar, raised by free labour in the Philippine islands, Java, and Siam, and why they are called upon to pay an income-tax of 7d. in the pound, when the money required to satisfy the deficit in the revenue might be raised by the admission of these sugars to British consumption, thereby, too, fairly competing free against slave labour. It is absurd suppose Colonies,that n t a h n e age w d or t : T h u e t y p a r l a e n t w a t i i l o l nesv ever to B ritis h a conditi on , d uring the life-time of the resent ra4M2- planters, to compete against the well c p ultivated soil of Cuba and the _Brazils. The east ern countr i es just named may do so • ; and the surest way to dis courage sugar making by slaves, would be to bring the produce raised by f ree h ands into active competi i tion with the former in our general markets, both for home consumption and for re - exportation. In lieu of that, Sir Robert's policy throws cold water on the exertions of these free labourers, and by so doing absolutely stimulates the production of sugar by slave labour in Cuba and South America. Again, where is the consistency of rejecting sugar with one hand, while with the other he actually promotes the interest of the slave-owners by reducing the dnty on all foreign grown coffee from 15d. to sa. per lb. ? Has he such consummate confidence in his own powers of oratory as to suppose he could blow hot and cold in the same hour, and to the same party, without a detection of his speciousness? Was he so blind as not to percieve, that the very line of reason ing he adduced for the rejection of foreign sugar would operate against the admission of coffee, and vice versa, that what he advanced in favour of coffee, applied equally to sugar ; the more especially as the one is rarely used without the other ? Or did his con fidence arise from a feeling of security in having at his command a majority of banded monopolists who would applaud his speech, however inconsistent, to the sky ? Some of the Anti-Slavery Society, taking a prima fade view of the question, doubtless feel repugnance to the introduction . of slave-labour sugar into the British market, because they apprehend consumption of that produce here would stimulate the cultivation of the canes by slave-labour. Others, however, of the same party, actuated by similar feelings of hostility to slavery, advocate the admission of the sugar, because they think the most secure mode of extinguishing slavery would be to ex pose its produce to an active competition in our mar kets against sugar, &c. raised by free labour. Amongst the many who entertain this view of the question is Mr. Beldam, a gentleman well known to the Anti- Slavery Society, who has, in a pamphlet replete with sound argument, addressed his opinions to Sir T. P. Buxton, Bart, Whether the admission of sugar as well as cake to our markets, from Brazil and Cuba, would or would mot promote slavery, or whether it would annihilate that horrible system altogether, is not now the sub ject for consideration ; the real question being simply this, why British consumers, who have to pay three fold the foreign value - of all the sugar they purchase, are to be debarred by law the use of a cheap and abundant supply of sugar raised by free labour in countries east of the Cape of Good Hope, the more especially as those descriptions of sugar can be brought to our markets, and sold for l ess th an th e cost of making su gar by slaves, creating a competi tion which in the end would, by pauperising the slave ners, effectually destroy the principal slave marts ? THE TORY INCOME TAX. The Herald thus speaks of Sir Robert Peel's projected scheme of an income-tax :—" The objection which we took at once to the proposed income-tax—against the uniformity of per-centage without reference to the amount of income—further consideration only confirms. The per-tentage ought, we think, to have graduated according to the amount of income ; we do not mean that it should have increased in exact propor tion to income; but for a man of 2001. a-year to contribute to the exigencies of the State in the _same proportion as the re ceiver of 50,C00/. a-year is manifestly unjust. The amount of tax paid by the one constitutes probably' in his family the dif ference between plenty andf scarcity, the sum contributed by the latter cannot slily inish the enjoyment of any aceustomed luxury. Sir Robert Peel has overlooked a favourable opporunity of introducing a most valuable principle into direct taxation, although it may be one which under the anticipated results of his scheme as a whole will not prove to be of great practical importance, and for this reason; the compensation which Sir Robert Peel expects will be derived from the di minished cost of articles of necessity flowing from the vcon struction of the tariff, will be received by the tax-payer of narrow income to the full extent of his contribution, whilst that compensation will only be felt by the possessor of annual thousands to a limited amount, unless, indeed, his establishment be an enormous one. The omission of the sliding scale from the income-tax is, however, to be regretted, even though that tax is restricted to yearly revenues of upwards of 1501." The Chronicle makes the following just and forcible remarks on the subject of the proposed income-tax :—" The imposition of an income-tax in time of peace appears to us to be, of all s.eps that could be taken by a Government, that which is fraught with consequences the most disastrous to the prosperity of the country and the maintenance of order. Six-and-twenty years have now passed since the repeal of the property- tax, which had, in one form or another, existed through the greater pm tion of that long war that sprung out of the French Revo lution. Many of our readers can have no personal recollec tion of the circumstances which led to the repeal of that tax. Its original imposition, under the name of an income tax, by Mr. Pitt, in 1798 ; its renewal by Mr. Addington, under the name of a property-tax, after the rupture of the peace of Amiens ; and its augmentation by the administration of the talents, had been carried with very slight resistance ; and the people had contributed without marinuring the large amount (not much less, at least, than 15,000,0001. a year) which it ex tracted from their p ickets. But the war had scarcely closed before a loud at,d, gelleral outcry for the immediate reduction of this before all other taxes resounded from every portion of the country. Those who experienced the property-tax can testify at once to the justice as well as the universality of this feeling. The tax was odious, because it was direct. But, in idtfition to the unpopularity incidental to its -being a heavy di rect impost, the property-tax was pecul.arly odious, on account of the mode in whi , :h it was assessed. It was necessarily preceded by an inquisitorial itiqu.ry into the whole Mate of a man's pecuniary affairs. He himself was obliged to furnish the information ; the tax-gatherer pried into his affairs , his neigh bours were made spies on him ; and the malignity of his ene mies was tempted to impeach his :character, and augment his burdens. The secrets of prosperity and adversity were dragged before the public ; large gains were inconveniently published; heavy losses and embarrassment s still more injuriously revealed. The tax was a heavy tax on distress, for men overcharged them selves rather than acknowledge that their fortunes were de clining. It was a tax on enterprise, and industry, for it was a tax in proportion to a man's gains, either accumulated or accru ing. It was a tax on honesty, operating as a premium on de ceit; for, while conscientious and sensitive men thought to err on the right side by paying more than their due, the unblushing scoundrel could save his pocket by a lie. The tax exposed every man to anxiety and scruples, then left him open to informers, and finally subjected his fortune and cha racter to the insolent injustice of a set of political opponents or jealous neighbours, whom the choice of the Minister had given power to decide, without appeal, on the amount of his assessment. Revive the income-tax, and you must revive the odious inquisition by which alone its amount can be ascer tained you must again make same of every man's neighbours spies on him, arid others tyrants over him. Again you will .shake down every tottering fortune and unstable credit in the land; and impose on distress the necessity of submitting to the pressure of undue taxation in order to escape a fatal exposure." The Post, speaking of the threatened income-tax, says : " The present Government being resolved that, however for midable the deficiency of the revenue, the richer classes, and they alone, should make it up, has proposed an income-tax— excluding, however, from the operation of the tax all incomes which do not reach the sum of 1501. a year. We do net mean to say that an income tax is not without its grave objections. It is frequently inquisitorial—it is often vexatious—it makes the burden of taxation extremely obvious. But we are to con sider whether any large tax can be devised which would not carry with it even greater objections. We co n f ess to scone preference for taxes on articles of cossumpti on , b ecause th ey are apt to be so mixed up with the price of the commodity that there is frequently no direct consciousness of the payment of the tax." The Times remarks as follows on the subject of the income tax :—" The assessing the values of estates, houses, funded pro perty, and salaries, is easy and simple ; but Sir Robert Peel has not stated, and we shall wait with some anxiety to hear him state by what machinery it is intended to ascertain that in:• comes which arise from the floating capitali*of our. merchants and manufacturers, our brokers and bankers, or from the da ily exertions of our lawyers, authors, or physicians. And with regard to some of these last, we would venture to make a few equitable suggestions of some importance. It seems per fectly fair that the current expenses of each year should incomes of borne, according to their means, by the current of those who for that year have the benefit of the exist ing state of things—who enjoy . the security of pro perty, tranquillity of society, facilities for locomotion, com merce, and so on, which thosd current expenses are intended to provide. But when any extraordinary expense has to be met, it does seem more appropriate that such charges should fall on those who are not only in the receipt of immediate pro fits, but who have a continuing interest in the country—on property, not on income. No one would think of taxing in come to pay off suddenly the national debt ; and so all perma nent benefits should be paid for by permanent sacrifice—should be levied on the invested capital, not on the yearly produce of the country. We would also observe, that the holders of in comes arising from, and fluctuating with, any kind of business, who must now make an annual exposure of their circumstances, are thus, by the proposed law, subjected to a serious evil, from which the proprietors of steady and obvious incomes are exempt—an additional claim which such persons possess to the consideration of the Legislature ; and all this, independent of the natural feeling, of which none can, we should think, divest themselves, that those who work for their money deserve a more liberal treatment from the nation than those who only sit down and receive it. Sinecure property, we think, then, might be fairly taxed more heavily than the fruits of mere labour." The following are the opinions of the Advertiser on the income-tax ;—" It is much to be regretted, however, that the Right Hon. Baronet did not introduce into his scheme his favourite sliding scale, which in this case might be applied with far more justice and salutary effect than to the importa tion of corn, upon which he has adhered to it with such mis chievous and ruinous pertinacity. If, for instance, the tax per cent. were to be raised in proportion to the larger in comes, so that incomes of 1,0001. a year should bear five per cent., 2,000/. six per cent., or at a similar rate, and thus in like manner, raising the t ax i n t h e di rect ratio of the income, and bringing the enormous rentals and ple thoric capitals under a due contribution to the na tional expenditure, the Ministerial proposition would be infinitely more productive and popular, and a far more ex tensive reduction than is proposed might be made in removing those burdens that press on the springs of manufacture and commerce, the removal of which, as Sir Robert Peel truly ob served, is the best and surest mode of improving the condition of the working classes. Under the proposed system a man with a thousand a year will pay in round numbers a tax of thirty pounds, whereas by the plan which we suggest he weak d have to pay fifty ; the man of two thousand a year, instead of the tax proposed, 601., would have to pay, at six per cn . it.: 1204 per annum ; and it is obvious that those possessed comes from land, or realised capital to such or gre ater a m ounts o o un i are iu a position to bear the suggested impost 02.! , annui ties wi h far less inconvience than the struggling with only 1501. a year, and a family to support, can contribute, the comparatively small sum of 4/. traantribmutane, TO THE CHARTISTS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM.
