She had her hands crossed on her bosom, and, with her head raised to heaven, appeared to be in deep prayer. Some were in a kneeling position, while others were shouting for help from the barque at a distance. Their fate was speedily sealed. Within a short time a terrific sea rolled on to the wreck, and, at one swoop, carried the entire poop overboard. At least from eighty to a hundred and twenty unhappy creatures were upon it, and for a moment or so it floated like a raft. The nest sea or so, however, turned it over, and the living mass were struggling in the agonies of death. Some thirty or forty, among whom were several females could be observed clinging to the floating packages of the cargo. As they rolled over, so the poor creatures struggled for a firmer hold. At length, from exhaus tion, they sank and were drowned. Before night had set in, the wreck had broken in two, and the part which remained was the bow and the foremast, to which the survivors and others clung. The Floridian struck on the outside of the Long Sands. The revenue cutters which have since arrived, report that not a vestige of the wreck remains, the whole having been swallowed up in the sands. As yet none of the bodies have been brought ashore. A great number have bee❑ seen floating, but the fact of most of them being naked, leads to the presumption that they had been previously picked up and stripped of their clothing. Many of the passengers were known to have sums of money about their persons, some to the extent of 3001. and 4001. A large nnmber of wreckers were seen in the vicinity of the wreck, after the survivors had been taken off by the Petrel cutter, and, with the excep tion of some of the cargo that has been landed at Rams gate and Margate, no other portion has been reported to the Customs. The only emigrant saved, Wilhelm Niero, has so far recovered as to be able to relate his sufferings, and still remains under the protection of Mr. Billingsley, Lloyd's agent and Prussian Consul, and receives every necessary attention.

The Committee divided : That the net expenditure of the Government for the year 1835 (Parliamentary Paper, No. 260, 1847) amounted to 44,422,0001. ; that the net expenditure for the year ending the sth of January, 1849 (Parliamentary Paper, No 1, 1849) amounted to 54,185,0001; the increase of nearly 10,000,0001. having been caused principally by successive augmentations of our warlike establishments, and outlays for defensive armaments ; that no foreign danger, nor necessary cost of the civil Government, nor indispensable disbursements for the services in the de pendencies abroad, warrant the continuance of this in crease of expenditure ; that the taxes required to meet the present expenditure impede the operations of agricul ture and manufacture, and diminish the funds for the em ployment of labour in all branches of productive industry, thereby increasing pauperism and crime, and adding grievously to the local and general burdens of the peoplo ; that to diminish those evils, it is expedient that this House take steps to reduce the annual expenditure, with all practicable speed, to an amount not exceeding the sum which, within the last fourteen years, has been proved to be sufficient for the maintenance of the security, honour, and dignity of the nation." This resolution the House refused to adopt by 275 to 78 votes. • bushels well 18st 6st 131 b, 17st 01b, THE LONDON INDISPUTABLE LIFE POLICY COMPANY.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer is reported, in the course of the debate, to have made the following obser vations:—" When he found that in the last twenty years the people of this country had been relieved from taxes to a most enormous extent, and that those taxes were on articles of consumption or the raw materials of manu facture, he was at a loss to understand on what ground it was now, fur the first time, asserted in those associa tions throughout the country, and in a public manner, that taxation pressed in so grievous a manner. In the last twenty years there had been repealed or reduced taxes to nearly 20,000,0001. There has been imposed taxes to about 9,800,0001, the country being relieved to the ex tent of 9,899,0001., or nearly 10,000,0001. of one descrip tion of taxes or another, taken from articles of con sumption and raw materials." To these remarks the Association oppose the following comparison of taxation in 1801, and the three years ending sth of January, 1846, 1847, and 1848 : Customs and 1801. 1846. 1847. 1848. Excise.— .. £19,130,867 £36.339,150 £37,290,461 £35,575,314 Stamps ...... 3,049,844 7,871,968 7,675,921 7,671,325 Taxes, (includ ing Property and Income) 9,857,134 9,624,394 10,018,111 10,165,516 Thus taxes, strictly so called, and paid altogether by the wealthier classes, (including the property and in come-tax), have increased since 1801, on the average of the three years ending sth of January, 1846, 1847, and 1848, by the comparatively trifling amount of 70,0001. only, while stamps (including the probate and legacy duties, which do not apply to freehold property, and, therefore, press more on the middle classes) have in creased in the same period 4,689,0001.; but the customs and excise, which are contributed by the masses, and which press most especially and most heartlessly on the poor, have, during the same time, been augmented by no less a sum than 17,070,0001. These custom and excise taxes, taken chiefly from the poverty, and not from the property of the country, pay every farthing of the expenses of the State, including the civil government, justice, diplomacy, forces, public works, bounties, and miscellaneous; and, in addition thereto, from one-third to one-half of the interest on the national debt; so that property really pays not one far. thing towards the Government and defences of the country, and but little more than one-half of the sum required towards payment of the interest on a debt in curred for its especial benefit and protection. This is placed beyond doubt or cavil by the following statement, taken from the official return of expenditure and income (Parliamentary Paper, 724, 1848):- 1846. 1847. 184 S.

The time has arrived when, for its own security, pro perty must bear the burdens of the State, and when, to enjoy its rights, it must discharge its duties.—By order of the Council, Wm. FOULKES, Secretary. Liverpool, March 5, 1849. THE WRECK OF THE FLORIDIAN. HARWICH, MONDAY EVENINQ.—The lamentable fate of the ship Floridian and her living freight of emigrants, on the Long Sands, during the violent tempest on the evening of the 28th ult., has produced a most painful feeling along the entire range of the eastern coact. In cessant have been inquiries here as to whether any more of the unfortunate creatures bad been preserved. With the exception, however, of the four poor fellows taken from the rigging by the Petrel revenue cutter, every human being on board perished, numbering in all 171 souls. The depositions of the surviving seamen of the Flo ridian have been taken by the authorities of the port, and from them we gather an authentic detail of the cir cumstances attending the ship's loss. It may hero be stated that their names are henry hill, Ephraim Stock bridge, a wan of colour, and William Ilary. The crew, with Captain Whitmore (who had his wife on board), amounted to fourteen, the names of whom were Wm. Viley, chief officer, of New LondLondon; a Swede, name not known, second o ffi ce r s James William son, steward; Richard Ferdinand, cook; Charles Barrett, John Tillman, Peter Davis, Edward Woody, Charles Thomas Balwith, John Dutch, and the above-mentioned survivors. After the ship struck, the terrified emigrants rushed on deck, and a scene of heart rending ch a ract e r ensued. 1 he poor creatures ran about in almost frantic confusion. The ship continued striking the shoal, and Captain Whitmore finding, by sounding the pumps, that she had bilged, signalled a barque (which afterwards proved to be the Dyle) about three miles off, for assistance. The captain ordered the men to force the emigrants below, in order that some means of escape might be prepared for them, but it was all in vain, for, as the man Hill states, " What could 13 seamen do with 160 frantic passen gers?" The captain finding by the broken frag ments that were coming up each side, that the vessel was breaking up, directed the boats to bo launched. His intention was to take the passengers to the barque. Two, named Charles Barrett and John Tillman, got into the first boat lowered to bale the water out she had ship ped. The passengers, however, got hold of her, and were hauling the boat alongside to jump in; but Bar rett, apprehensive of her being stove in, cut away the painter, and the boat drifted astern. The life-boat, ca pable of containing about twenty persons, was then launched, Captain Whitmore directing the men to stand by, so as to prevent too many getting into her. He was the first to enter, with the intention of assisting his wife into the boat. It was instantly filled, and the next mo ment she was capsized and all were drowned, the cap tain and the chief mate, who had gone to assist the passengers into the boat disappearing with the rest. Mrs. Whitmore, who had been un able from the pressure to get in, was on the quarter deck, and witnessed the fate of her husband. To the remainder of the ship's company it was evident that most of those on board, about 150, would perish, as they felt and saw the vessel fast breaking up. The sea was lashing the ship on all sides, the water had burst up her hatches, and her cargo of boxes, cases, &c., was washing about her decks in all directions, breaking many of the passengers' legs, who as they fell were by the next sea washed overboard and lost. As a last resource it was resolved to cut away the main and wizen mast. She had heeled over on one side, and it was hoped it would be the means of saving her, but no axes could be found. The rigging was separated with an idea that the masts, not having the necessary stay, would go over, but they held on for half an hour afterwards, when the ship went in two, and the main and wizen mast, yielding by the board, fell with a loud crash. Many of the emigrants were crushed to death by their fail, and others were knocked overboard. Hill, nary, Stockbridge, with ano ther seaman, named Davies, and four or five passengers, had taken to the fore-rigging. Prev i ously- they had placed several women and childr en under the forecastle crushed and by in t t h o e d e c a o t o h k ou t h s ee heavyso a , s flo t a o ti p ng rev m e a n s t se t s he or i n r , b d e e t e n i, g . The emig ran ts huddlid together on the poop. 1 hese in the forecastle,‘ cook, and roundhouse were speedily drowned by the sea tearing them away, and swet ping ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE. Young Hernandez, the American youth, described in the bills (and in thin instance the bills do not exaggerate) as the greatest rider in the world, made his first appearance here last evening, and, certainly, whether as regards graceful poses, fearless riding, wonderful feats of adressc and agility, and strength, his are by far the most wonderful performances that we have ever witnessed, or that have ever been ex hibited in the metropolis for the last quarter of a cen tury at least ; indeed, we doubt whether even Widdicomb himself, who appeared last night, "flourishing in immortal youth," as active, as fresh, and as juvenile as ever; we doubt whether even Widdiconab in the whole course of his long cape rience has ever seen the equal of young Hernandez. This prodigy is quite a youth, he cannot be more than fifteen years of age, and, albeit, he is the most daring rider that has ever yet appeared, such is the apparent ease and the real grace with which he performs his astonishing feats, that the spectator experiences none of that apprehension of danger which, in many instances, takes off so ma terially from the pleasure of witnessing similar feats. With young Hernandez you feel sure. Some of his feats were exceedingly wonderful. Our readers have no doubt seen the usual performances of jumping through hoops, over garters, over flags, through bal loons, while the horse is at full speed. All these feats, which other equestrians perform by jumping forwards, Hernandez performs jumping backwards, and performs them with an ease and a grace that no other rider has ever a pp roac h e d. H e performs also a series of most novel and original tours (de force in reality, but de grace also) on one leg. These one legged feats are among the most astonishing portions of his performance. One of his leaps backward is most marvellous. Three flags are spread out abreast of each other ; he leaps backwards over the whole of them, his steed being at full speed. Hernandez is the most accomplished master of his art that has ever appeared in England. His is the only equestrian performance we ever recollect having witnessed, in which there was not some portion or other approaching to a failure, some feat attempted which missed, and had to be repeated: There was nothing of this sort the case with Hernandez ; everything he attempted was done at once, and well done. We opine that his performances will be among the most attrac tive in the metropolis. We had in addition, the ordi nary Scenes in the Circle, the wonderful perform ances of Mr. Batty's trained Persian palfrey, one of the cleverest horses in existence, and some graceful tight-rope dancing. The performances com menced with the new Mexican spectacle, which still continues to attract crowded houses, and in which the celebrated horse Beda delights the audience by his wonderful feats of sagacity; and concluded with the farce of Curiosity. The house was exceedingly well attended. (From the Times.) A very important addition has been made to the amuse ments in the circle of this theatre by the engagement of a young American equestrian, named Hernandez, who appeared for the first time last night. Even the feats which he achieves in common with other performers gained a novelty by the perfect ease and finish with which he executed them. Generally the very best artists of the class make a hitch or two in the course of the evening, though they always repeat their attempts till every proposed diffi culty is solved. This young Hernandez, on the con trary, never so much as approached a failure ; while the most daring leaps were taken without a show of effort, and with a cheerful smiling countenance. Judging from his appearance, we should say ho was under 14 years of age ; but, young as he is, he has brought an elegance and a " poetry of motion" into the art of equitation which has for a long time been unknown at Astley's. He was twice called, amid raptures of applause, by a crowded audience. (From the Chronicle.) A young American rider, described as " Young Hernandez," made his first appearance at this f avour it e place of amusement last night, with decided success. Ho is a youth, to all appearance about fourteen years of age, finely formed, and with a handsome countenance. His style of riding is remarkably fearless; and it combines with feats of agility and strength, many of which are unprecedented, a singular gracefulness, which, together with the confidence he inspires, renders his performance very surprising and agreeable. Among his various feats is one requiring great strength and skill. On a horse running at full speed, he jumps backwards, over three flags spread out abreast. He also performs some extraordinary leaps on one leg. Altogether, his performance is well worth a visit to the Trauspontine Circus. The rest of the entertainments now given here aro also very good. There is a stirring Mexican spectacle, with real horses and all the usual ap pliances. Miss Woolford and Herr Hengler dance to gether on a double tight rope. There is a remarkably well-trained horse, described as Mr. Batty's " Persian Palfrey," which performs many surprising things with a singular and pleasing docility; also a couple of good clowns, one of whom has a is ell-trained dog, that does all sort of things seemingly impossible to the canine race; and, above all, there is still the immortal and ever juvenile Widdicombe in all his pristine glory. (From the Post.) The latest hippo-dramatic spectacle produced is en titled Corasco; or, the Warrior's Steed, and is composed of a series of scenes, incidents, and situations, suffi ciently harrowing and exciting to satisfy the most en thusiastic devotee of violent sensation and sanguinary catastrophes. The author has mingled all possible appliances and means to rromote the romanticism of the transpontine playgoer. There are Mex icans and Spaniards, high priests of the sun, and Incas and Hascala warriors, and a distressed princess, and knights and slaves; and, though last not least, Mr. Batty's highly-trained courser Beds, who performs a most distinguished part in the affair, and not only serves as a steed, but as a hewer of wood and a drawer of water, and enacts sueh wonders that the bipeds of the theatre must feel terrible goading of envy at her unri valled talents, and the genuine applause she literally loser s from the discriminative aed appreciative audience. The principal attraction, however, last night was the first appearance in England of the celebrated American equestrian youth Hernandez. Nothing so perfect of its kind has been seen in our days, and his riding is as much beyond the ordinary exorcises of the circle as was the dancing of Taglioni above the coarse movements of the ballet girl. There is grace , " certainty, and the m os t exqu i s i te fi n ish ; a th n e marvellous tours de for ce are accom plished without least visible mus c ul ar exer ti on; i n d ee d, they are seemt lo f long s rather like spontaneous a c t s o f vo liti on than the r es ult and practice. His pose s are v ar ied as they are worthy the chisel of the fiuest p e might servo as a model for a youthful cu Apolloltr b or ln an fn r A m n t h i• nous, and each movement is instinct w ith artistic feel ing. All that we have continen talseenatchcieelveebdrabtyedDucrow riders, aro transcended b y in his best days, and the m most Hernandez.

" (From the Advertiser.) Last night a singularly-varied aeries of performances attracted a full audience to this very entertaining:theatre. Numerous novelties were produced on the occasion, all of which passed off with decided eclat. The great hit of the night, however, was the debut of the Young Her mandez, a very youthful American equestrian, asserted to have been " pronounced the wonder of the world." Without going quite so far, it is never theless safe to state that he is a very surprising, skilful, accomplished, and graceful artiste. He achieves the most difficult feats, on a horse at full gallop, without apparent effort, and without the least hesitation, while it is always in a triumphant and pleasing style. He is full of activity, lightness, agility, and daring; and he gained a decided and unusual suc- MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.' CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. There was a dull market for Cotton at Liverpool' yesterday, and prices had a downward tendency. The ► sales were estimated at 4,000 bales, including 500 on speculation.—ln Railway Shares there was a further de cline in prices. The Continental advices received to-day have engaged.: some attention, and there is an uncertain feeling produced' by the report that the Russians have the intention of en tering the Dardanelles. Not much credit is attached to the report, but in conjunction with the preparations making by Denmark to meet any contingency arising from the termination of the armistice on the 26th inst., and tke position of the Italian ques ti on , th ere i s room for doutit and indecision. The accounts from France act quite as a counterpoise to the news from other quarters, the Bourse continuing extremely buoyant, and having in fact been higher than ever. The speculators there are evidently very confident, and there is a favourable issue expected to the next elections. Later accounts by two or three days have come to hand from the Cape of Good Hope. The colony was tranquil, and the Kafirs were better controlled on the frontier, so as effectually to check their cattle depra dations . The Canard steamer from the United States and Canada has arrived off Liverpool, but her advices are not expected in town to-day. The fine weather reminds us that the season for emi gration is returning, and from all we learn it is likely to be active. There is au excellent choice of destinations. Canada, Australia, the Cape. and New Zealand, all offer peculiar advantages. In a Parliamentary document re cently published concerning South Australia, one wit ness's examination runs thus:— " Can you state any circumstance individually proving the advance of prosperity of those people as exhibited by their acquisition of property ? —Yes, I can. I settled one person on the Company's lands of the name of Joseph Gould, who took with him about 4001. or 5001. as capital; he afterwards wrote me that is the course of two years ho had doubled his capital. Mr. Giles, our manager, mentioned one person who went out as a la bourer with Mr. Davenport in the year 1838, and when • Mr. Giles wrote to me, in February, 1247, he said that person had a farm, and had at least 2,000 bushels of wheat upon it the preceding harvest. Another that had gone with the same gentleman, Mr. Davenport, had at least 1,000 bushels grown on his ground. I have here the letter from Mr. Giles, of the 7th of February, 1847, in which ho s a ys :—`Almost all the company's present tenants in the country were labourers when you left. Chandler, the Dunns, Philphers, and some of the oldest shepherds are now worth a good deal of money. I should say George Dunn's property (that is one I have already named as having been a shepherd) if sold at auction to-morrow would realise at least 1,000/4 he has three sections of laud of his own; this has been made in eight years. One man, who came out a labourer with poor George Francis Davenport, has 2,000 bushels of wheat this year. Another of his men, named Yates, has 1,000 bushels of wheat this season. He adds, I am quite certain wheat has been grown here for 3s. per bushel and at 4s. per bushel. The farmers may live well and save money, and at the same time farm regularly, the following year, as in England.'
