He said that the fate of that to ' o ls °lY Would be decided in one way or another; and it seemed 4, 8 141 that the Right Hon. Baronet had not taken the best cr ilt h t htimane course upon the subject ; while he admitted that i git 'd taken the most effectual means of ensuring a continued lio n tl 'o of the question. He could also assure the Right I' Baronet that he should have his unfaltering support in th llr o ,, e which he proposed in the tariff.— liesZ i cal hencrs fi om the Ministerial benches.)

MEMBER.. whose name we could not learn, droved the Adjournment of the DeLate. On the question being put, Sir R. PEEL said he could not help expressing his opinion that the House was in a condition to pronounce an opinion on this question. There had been four nights' debate on the re s4iution, and three nights on the repers, and he.hoped the sub ject had now been sufficiebtly debated to enable the House to come to a fair division to-morrow, and that leave would :be given to bring in the Bill. He h. red, as they should have to tiii•cuss the tariff as well as the income tax, and the revision of taxation on the raw materials and dements of manufactures, that the House would feel that he was justified in not making any proposal of the tariff tll some decision was come to on the income tax. • Ile hoped that the gentlemen who had give n notices of motions for to- morrow evetnna would, from a sense of public neces.ity, hermit the renewal of the debate at an early hour, so that the House might come to the conclusion of the debate to morrow. Mr. ISIASTERMAN regretted that the debate had been adjourned, and no decision come to. 'There was a great stagnation in all branches of commerce. It Hon. Gentlemen around him were aware of the inconvenience, they would have sat to a little later hour. It was roost detrimental to the com mercial interest that the House should separate without a division. Sir W. JAMES coincidedwi,h the opinion expressed by the Hon. Number for ' the City of London. Lord JOHN RUSSEL - L. said be had wished that the debate should have been closed that evening. He was not aware of what was intended to be dote by the Gentlemen who had given notice of resolutions, but with respect to his resolution he had no doubt that the debate would close to-morrow. He thought too that those Gentlemen who had Bills for considers. tion would not object to the debate taking place at an early part of the evening. Mr. MARK PHILLIPS thought that the House ought to be afforded ample time to consider the income tax, inasmuch as it had been a question that had only . been recently proposed to the House, and that the Right Hon. Baronet had taken five months to consider the propriety of proposing ir. Sir R. PEEL did not object to the House taking ample time to discuss the question of the income tax, but he thought that they ought to devote mote than two hours and a half to it of a nignt. He (Sir Robert Peel) had moved the Order of the Day at eight o;clock, at which time there were not more than forty-eight Members present. He would do Hon. Members opposite the justice to admit that there were quite as many present of their party as of his own, but stillthe debate did not commence until two hours after the Order of the Day had been read. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, that if Right Hon. Gentle• men opposite would speak earlier in the evening, that would have a great effect in bringing the debate to a close. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had acted on the principle propounded by the Noble Lord, inasmuch as he had spoken immediately titer the Noble Lord had sat down in the early part of the evening. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at One o'clock. ADJOURNED INQUEST AT ROE HAMPTON. The inquest en the supposed victim of Good was resumed yesterday before Mr. Carter, the Coroner, at the Angel Inn, Roehampton. The room was again crowded, and the greatest excitement prevailed. The first witness called was Sergeant Palmer, who stated—My name is Samuel Palmer; I am a police-constable, 6 V. On the night of Wednesday, the 6th inst., I was told, a little before 11 o'clock, by constable 192 V, that a murder had been committed. Ia consequence of the information I received I went to Air. Shiel's premises in Putney Park-lane. When I got there I found Alr. Houghton, his son, and a ycung man named Speed. They showed me the trunk of a female in one of the stalls of the stable—the fourth stall. Mr. Bicknell came immediately afterwards, and we proceeded to search the stable for the remaining parts of the body, seeing that it had been mutilated. The first place searched was the adjoining stall, in which I discovered a mattress and two blankets concealed under some straw. The mattress was very much stained, but apparently not with blood ; I think it must have been with urine. It appeared quite dry. I felt it to as certain. It was one i ntire stala right through, both sides being alike. Thought it had not been recently done. The next place I went t,► was the harness-room. From the stench I discovered there, 1 went towards the fire place, and found sore sal small portions of bone among the cinders. There was nothing in the Ere-place but the cinders and portions of bone. I now recollect that the fire was laid. There were two pieces of wood, some coals, and some straw, ready to be lighted. The ashes were under these materials. I searched the cinders, and found several small pieces of bone in a calcined state. (They were here produced.) They have been broken in pieces since. They appeared to have been in a fire. I took them to the doctor's. CORONER—Was the stench very great? Witness—lt was quite enough to make me suspect that the missing portions of the body had been burnt. I then went up to Mr. Shiel's house, ar,d searched the coachman's room there. The room was pointed out to me. There wete two cupboards in the roora, which 1 could not open at that time, and I did not find anything which concerned the present inquiry. I told the gentleman I would come next morning, and if I could not find the key 1 would break the doors open. Uponrcturning to the harness-room I saw some keys lying on a table, and thinking they most likely belonged to the coachman, and that one would fit the cupboard I took them, and proceeded to the house in company with Mr. Inspector Busain. None of the keys would fit, and we broke the cupboards open. They did not contain anything relating to this question. There were some coa's and waist coats, which I examined carefully, but there were no marks or stains upon them. I remained in the stable, and the keys either fell out of my pocket, or I laid them on the corn bin. Some of them were tied together by the cord or watch guard (by which they all tied now), and some of them were loose on the table; but all lay together. The keys have not been owned to my knowledge. By a Juror—When you found those keys did you examine them to ascertain whether there were any mai ks of blood upon them ? Palmer—No, Sir, I did not. Did you see any marks upon them ?—No I did not. Are you sure some of them were loose?—To the best of my belief. Robert Tee, constable of the parish of Putney, was called.— From information, 1 received 1 went to the premises ot Air. Shiel, in Putney . ..park-lane. I saw the remains of a body, and since the inquiry on Fr.day, I have been in p;s:,session ot those remains, and I have had the key of the sable in my pos. session. I produce the bunch of keys (alluded to by the last witness). 1 found them on the corn bin on Friday evening last. They were as you see them now—all together. John Houghton and the little boy went in with me when I found them. I made a very diligent search of the premises. I have examined the cesspool, the water-tanks, and the manure heaps in the stable-yard. I have not found anything pertaining to this inquiry. I have not fourd any portion ot the body, nor anything in any way relating to this inquiry. ColtON ER —You searched the dung-Leaps, in accordance with my directions, did you not? Witness—l did, Sir. CORONER—What were you going to say about Houghton and the keys ? Witness—lt was Houghton that directed my attention to them. Sergeant Palmer recalled—The keys produced are the same thick I took Lora the harness-room, with which to try the cup board doors in the coachman's room. By the Jury—l had the keys from Thurdly morninz until Friday morning. lam sure the key, produced are the same which I found in the harnfss•room. Robert Tee recalled—Houghton might have seen the keys by looking through the windoA of the stable opposite that in which the remains lay. Josiah Tye, police constable 199 V.—On Wednesday even ing I was on reserve in the station-house, when a person came and said that a body was lying at Mr. Shi,i's, in Putney Park lane. I went there, and on arriving I found Constable Gardi ner there, and the remains of the body of a woman lying in one of the stalls of the stable, on Mr. Shiel's premises. 1 took Mr. Shiel's pony and rode off to give information to Mr. Superin tendent Bicknell. When I got to Wandsworth I found that %ir. Bicknell had gone, and I returned to Mr. Shiel's. 1 found that in the hari.ess-room there was a disagreeable smell, and on examining the grate I discovered two pieces of skull bone underneath the cinders. (The pieces of bone were } re duced.) I did not know that they were skull-bones at first, but on finding them I took them to a medical gentleman, who said they were pieces of skull-bone. '1 his morning I was in Mr. Shiel's yard at about half-past eight, and went toward the four-wheeled chaise in the coach-hone , and upon opening the lid of the seat-box I discovered that there was a very strong stench. It came to my nose - like a steam. On further exami nation, I observed a small piece of flesh on the edge of the out side of the lid : from this eireumstan.e I suppose that the en trails of the body have been taken away in this box. [The box smelt so strongly as to be quite offensive to the jurors when it was placed near them.] 'fhe witness resumed—l said the other day to Houghton, " This is a shocking thing." Houghton said, " Yes, it is ; knew Good to be a very bad man, but I did not think he was quite so bad as that either." I replied, if you knew that he was a bad man, why did you keep his company ?" He answered, " I has reasons fur doing it." " What were they ?" I again asked ; Houghton shrugged up his shoulders, and said, " It I had not kept in with him, he would have murdered me." The conclusion I draw from this conversation is, that he had some knowledge of the body being there. Mr. Inspector Busain next called—From information I re ceived I went to Mr. Shiel's about a quarter be:ore I I o'clock on Wednesday night, and was directed t, make a diligent search. I saw the body ; I found a box in the harness-room, which was locked, and I broke it open,; in it I found a small quantity of blac t tea—rathe. more than an ounce—wmpped up in paper. There was no mark of blood on the paper : The other things in the box "were same articles of wearing apparel and a few books. The wearing apparel • con sisted of some linen and a waistcoat, which were all clear.. I then searched a drawer in the table underneath the window of the harness-room, and in that I found a knife, w`iich I now produce. It is a clas or " self-defence" knife. It appeared to have been recently sharpened, and on the handle are marks of what 1 believe to be blood. Standing in the chimney corner, on the right-hand side of the fire place, I found this axe, the edge of which, aid also the poll, are smeared with blood. The knife and the axe were handed round to the Jury. The knife, when opened was about nine inches long ; and the axe was a full-sized one. The marks alleged by the Inspector to be those of blood were very indistinct. CORONER—Can you undertake to say that these marks on the axe are the marks of blood? Witness—l believe them to be marks of blood. Over a line which was hanging across the harness-room, I found the handkerchief which I now produce. On showing it to the woman in South-street, Manchester square, she identified it as having belonged to the woman Jane Jones. There are marks of blood upon it. Over a saddle-bag I found two pieces of a woman's flannel petticoat, which bad evidently formed part of the same garment, and had been torn asunder with violence. I also found two pieces apparently of an othergarment, both are spattered with blood. (1 hey appeared to be portions of a calico chemise.) On one portion are two holes, which had evidently been cut with a sharp instrument. In the fire place I found some calcined bones, which have been shown to a medical gentleman. I showed them to Mr. Shitlito and also to Mr Ridge. I found the pint glass bottle, which I produce. It appeared to have contained milk. Assisted by Mr. Ridge, I found on the following day other portions of bone in the fire place. The keys were also found in the table-dr.wer. I ex amined the body after it had been washed—since the Jury saw it. It was brought out into a stronger light to be examined. I pressed up the skin of the neck near 1N here the incision had been made, and in doing so I discovered, on the right side, a small mole not much larger than a pin's head. By the CORONER—I have ordered a search to be made over the premises, but no portion of the bode has been dis covered; except the pieces of bone which have been produced. Mrs. Jane Brown was next calied—l am a married woman. living at It 3, South-street, Manchester-square, in the parish of Marylebone. My husband, John Brown, is a greengrocer. I knew a person named Good. I have heard him Called Daniel Good. I knew him to be in service as colt. hman. I did not know the name of the gentleman until lately, but believed he lived in this neighbourhood. I knew Good as the husband of the female who took the lodging at my house. I was told that he was her husband. He used to come and see her, and she has passed as his wife latterly. She took the lodging in the name of Jane Jones, and passed by that name until she represented that she was marl ied. She was in the lodgings six months or more before she told me that she was married to Good. He frequently came to see her; three or four times a week. He drove up to the house, but did not remain longer than a few minutes at a time. He latterly came in a phaeton. I have no knowledge of the female at the present time. A little boy resided with her—his name was Daniel, she passed the boy for 'her son-in-law ; and I understood from Good himself, that the lad was his son. I last saw the female on s'umay, 3d April ; I heard her lock her door, come down, and go out at the private door. I. saw her walk past the front or the house. I had aside view of her. She was in my sigl.t for about three minutes. I had an opportunity during that time of noticing her dress. She wore a blue silk bonnet, a da , k print gown, a dark shawl (the pattern a black ground with flowers), and black boots. This was between the hours of two and three o'clock in the afternoon. She was then about leaving the house. CORONER—Have you any knowledge of the purpose fur which she was leaving the home at that time? Witness—God knows, Sir ! I did not speak to her. CORONER—Was any one with her at the time?—No one. Had you seen Good on that day ?—No. Have you any reason to suppose that she has returned to your lodgings from that time to the present ?—I have not. And whether she may be dead or alive you don't know ?--1 do not. The little boy left the house before his Mother, as I thought, to go to school. Ile returned the fellow ing day, ac companied by his father, Daniel Good. I don't know how it was that he did not come home on Sunday night. I don't know that the little boy was in the h a bit of visiting his father without the female. He was not in the habit of sleeping from home, at least to my knowledge, but he slept out the previous Sunday. CORONER—How long had the female lived with you alto gether?—About three )ears last October, altogether. Had she been in the habit of sleeping out.?—No, not to my knowledge. But on the Sunday previously to the 3d April she.went out, and was from home that night. She did not sleep from home on any night before that to my know ledge. On the morning of the Monday, before be came back with the boy, Good called at my house, and in answer to a question from me, he told me the female was gone. I don't recollect whether he called her his wife, or whether in speaking of her he designated her at all. I asked why she ha 1 gone without telling me ? He replied that she had gone to a place to keep a lodge at a gentleman's house, and weuldnot re turn. He had told me a fortnight before that she was going to keep a lodge, but did not tell me where. He said he was himself going to a fresh place, but did not say when. He said he had come for the purpose of taking away her things—the mangle and bed. She kept a mangle, and took in linen for the purpose of mangling it. I said I was surprised at her leaving. He made me very little answer. I had no teason for disbelieving his story. He had paid the rent a fortnight previously, and told me he did not know how soon she might have occasion to go. I never had any conversation with the female on the subject after Good spoke to me about her leaving. I only saw her two or three times afterwards. She was not in the habit of talking much. I did not " dispute " the matter as she had said once on a former occasion that she wished to go into service. The bonnet now produced I have seen before. It was shown me last Saturday. I have seen the neckerchief also. I could swear to them to the best of my knowledge. I have seen the bonnet worn. I think I have also seen the neckerchief, but reould not so positively swear to that. I. have no doubt in my own mind that the bonnet produced is that which was worn by the woman Jane Jones when she last left my house on Sunday the 3d April. The neckerchief is also similar to one which I have seen her wear. The gown produced was shown me at the same time. I know it well; it belonged to Mrs. Good, or Jane Jones. She was called Mrs. Good by every one in the house after she told me she was married. She had a padlock fastening on her door. There was another lock on the door. but she gene ally used the padlock. rcannot identify ether of the keys pro.luced as belonging to her door; but 1 think I have seen the guard with which the keys are tied together round het neck. I could swear that I have seen her wear one similar io make and colour. I could not say whether she had a wa'ch or not; but I have seen a key attached to it. Good told me he had purchased a pair of boots for her, the day he paid me the rent. That was last Monday fortnight. He was in the shop when he told me the'. I cannot swear to or identify the borne I have not seen the body of the female into whose death we are new inquiring. There was no circumstance by which I could identify her particularly. She was a person of very " close habits." I have no knowledge of her being preg nant. She never said anything to me, or to any one else to my knowledge, to induce me to believe that she was. CORONER—Orr what apparent terms did this man and woman live? Witness—l had never heard any quarrel. CORONER—Did you ever see anything to lead 'you to believe that any animosity existed between them? Witness-1\ o; on the contrary he always appeared very kind to her. Have you any knowledge that she ever bore a child?—No, I have not. What aged woman was she?—l cannot say po,itively, but I think she was about forty. She was a woman of middle stature, about five feet two inches ; she was not stout, she was a neat little woman. I think her eyes were dark. Her skin was riot dark, but not very fair. I never saw any mark on her body or throat by which I could identify her. CORONER—When did you last see Good? Witness—en Tuesday night, when he said he had come to town with his family to a ball, and he went to his wife's room, which wee on the kitchen floor. I don't know how long he remained there. CORONER—What did you say? Witness-1 inquired how Mrs. Gnod was, and he told me he had not seen her that day. I did not inquire more particularly, for I was offended at her leaving without telling me. The mangle sad bed are still in the room. Since Tuesday night I have not seen Mrs. Good. Mary Anne Clarke, of No. 18, South-street, Mani.hester square. My husband is a tailor. I lodge in Mr. Brown's house. I knew Mrs. Good. She re: ided in the front kitchen, where she worked a mangle, and occasionally took in washing. Daniel Good, a little boy, lived with her, as son-in-law, hut he called her mother. I know the bonnet on the table, for it was made by me about a year and a half ago. lam not a bonnet maker, but I made this because Mrs. Good asked me. I h.:ve no doubt that it is Mrs. Good's bonnet. I have seen her wear a gown of exactly the same pattern as that on the table. CORONER—Have you ever seen any particular mark on her person ? Witness—l have not. I never saw her stripped, bet I think [ could identify her hair. I think, howeve I have seen a mole on her neck, which 1 should know again. She used to wear a handkerchief on her neck in the morning of the same pattern as the p.ece now on the table. I saw her last about ten o'clock in the morning on Sunday week. She came into the back-yard for water; she appeared in go - id health. I never saw any'ching in her appearance to make me think she was pregnant ; but I have heard that she told another lodger, about thtee months since, that she was pregnant. flowerer, she afterwards contradicted it. She told me in the winter that she had a bad face, which she attributed in some degree to her feelings on account of bad language which her basband had used to her. Sarah Young, of 99, Earl-street, an old woman, said that on Sunday week Mrs. Good asked her to take the little boy home with her ta sleep for that night, for that she was going to ss e her husband, and was afraid to take the child with her, as she dreaded Good might massacre her, because the boy called her mother. She said she hoped it might pour with rain to pre vent her going out to her husband, as she did not know what he meant, or was up to. Witness took the boy home tkat night. Mrs. Good she had not seen since. Mrs. Elizabeth Christie—l lodge with Mrs. Brown. I knew Mrs. Good and her little son-in-law. I.saw her last on Sunday the 3d of April, at 12 at noon. She stood at the door of her room, and asked if I thought it would rain. I said we might have showers. She then said she had been sent for to go out, but she was not to bring the little boy with her, and she was in distress where to put him. She put her hands together, and said, " I hope it will pour with rain the whole of the afterno n " She did not say where she was going, but I surmised she was going to see her husband. Ic in swear that the bonnet and shawl were her's, and the gown I believe to have been her's. saw Good on the following Tuesday night, a' about hall-past 10 o'clock, when he came into his wife's room. He said, My little boy is in the country with his mother; but he did not state the mils° of her ab sence . In the beginning of March she said, I thought some time ago I was in the family way, but now I know for certain lam not. I thought she was too old to have a child, but I said nothing. Good seemed to be kind to her. On going away he used to say, Good bye, my dear ; take care of yourself. Lavender Layton, a confectioner at Putney ; knows Daniel Good, and saw him last Sunday evening se'nnight near Ham mersmith-bridge, in company with .a woman, whom he intro duced as his sister. The female eviden , ly desired not to be seen. Her bonnet was something like that now on the table. Mrs. Hester, of Peake's-bridge, near Putney. Knew Good. He brought a woman with him last Sunday week, whom he called his sister in-law. They state !to tea. She had on a purple bonnet, though some might call it a blue bonnet. I then said something disagreeable has taken place between you and Susan Butcher; and, address'ng his sister. in-law, I s..id, " You know Susan Butcher ?" She said, "No ; who is she ?" I said, " She was living with her father at Woolwich, whera he was a shipwright." The sister in-law seemed very much hurt, and asked Good who this girl was. He said a friend of his. The stranger then ob served to me that she plainly raw Good wished to change the subject, and she said she had a great charge against him, on ac count of his little boy. Good flew into a t age, and hurried her off. I invited her to come and spend this day with me, and she pron.ised. She seemed very much hurt about Susan Butcher. the bonnet produced is that she had on. On 'T uesday morn ing, Good came to my house with his little boy, and wanted me to take care of him. I said I could not, as I was going to London. I returned at half-past eight, and the little boy was there. I have not seen Good since. The boy slept in the house that night with my children. . Mr. Browne, landlord of the Coach and Horses, Barnes, knew Good personally, and served him and a female with gin and water on Sunday evening week. He said she was his sister ; she said nothing but smiled. Constable 24 V, met a female with Good going towards Mr. Shiel's, late on Sunday evening; they appeared to have been quarrelling. Sergeant Parry, of the R d vision, identified the bonnet, shawl, and other articles proved to have been viol n by Mrs. Good, as having been given to him by Lydia Susannah Botcher, a young woman residing with her father at No. 13, Charlotte place, Woolwich. Witness got them from her o r Thursday. Lydia Susannah Butcher examined.—Said she was generally a servant, but lived now with her father in Woolwich. lam a single woman. The articles on the tab:e were given to me on Wednesday by Mr. Good, as a gilt. He came between three and four in the afternoon: We had been acquainted tor some time. He was very kind to me, and used to come to see me as a suitor where I lived. When he brought the things, he wanted me to put the bonnet on and go with him to Greenwich. He had told me a considerable time before that he had to give me some things which belonged to his wife, who had died. As a great number of other witnesses were to be examined, the inquest was adjourned. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE. WHITEHALL, APRIL 7, 1842.

ROBBERY AT THE LATE 'M.ARQHIS OF lIERTFORD'S.—A middle-aged foreigner, but whose name did not transpire, was placed at the bar before Mr. Jardine, eharged with having robbed the late Marquis of Hertford, in whose service he lived as valet, of property amounting to several thousand pound. The Court was crowded w ith Noblemen and Gentlemen, and on the bench we noticed Lord Montfort. Messrs. Bodkin and Phillips appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Flower for the defence. Sinc3 the prisoner's apprehension 2,0001. in notes have been traced to the bathers, the pthoner's boxes were broken open in Court to-day, but nothing material was discovered, with the exception of a few trinkets, and the prisoner was again re manded for a week, to allow time to make inquiry on the Con tinent. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Samuel Spencer, one of the keepers of Kensington-gardens, was tined b/., or in default two months' imprisonment, for drunken and disorderly conduct on Monday night in Piccadilly, and assaulting two police constables of the A division. Mr. llobler, jun., attended on behalf of the defendant. The money was immediately paid. UMOMHALL. Aldridge Clark was charged with entering the Ship public house, at Dockbead, and stealing a quantity of clothes. The landlord having an alarm•bell to his bed-room deor, heard it ring at nine o'clock on the preceding night, and know ing that thieves were in the house, he ran up stairs, and was struck on the head by a person from above. He, however, rushed up, and on entering his bed-room, he found the drawers and boxes all brokin open, and their contents packed up ready to be carried off. On further search, he discovered the prisoner outside the window hanging on the parapet, and if he let go, ne must have been dashed to atoms. He was dragged into the house and given in custody ; he turned out to belong to a gang of thieves, who are in the habit of robbing public houses. He was committed. MONEY MARKET lend CITY NEWS, Y ESTERDAY. TI M F E '° T S. TL E d 3 i l s ° a ß pP l e l a s r a ant r !e r o l f RSspoanrish dollars from Can ton is a subject which has excited great interest in that place, if we may judge from the latest accounts. 'the amount of these de.lia,s formerly required for the trade at Canton was not above 4,000,000, which have been subject to more than the ordLary wear and tear of coins from the practice of chipping acquired th e name o f cehmipipMed° small piece-, by' „ which they the of the d o ll ar ceased 25 year, ago, the imports have likewise ceased, after gradually diminish ing for some years, and another most important r e d uc ti on was etricted by Captain Elliot sending 700,000 dollars of the ran som money to England. The currency, already scarce, is said to have been r,,cluced by this proceeding about one-fourth, and what renders the scarcity more aco,ible, the neces sity for a metallic currency has increased. When the whole foreign trade of China was confined. to Canton, accounts were easily settled by tiari - ifers without the employment of specie, and those &liars that were cir culated in the tea districts soon ft.und their way back to Canton to pay for opium. This was tl - .e state of things before Commissioner Lin appeared at Canon; but now the trade is carried on at three places, viz., Canton, Macao, anti Hongkong, there is no longer the same facility in settling ac couots, and therefore there is an increased demand for the dollars, which are further absorbed by the expenses of the British Government at Hongkong. But these, though the chief, are not considered to be the only causes of the scarcity but a d:ain proceeding from the practice of hoarding is added to their number. Svcee silver, although o f a purer standard than the dollar, has been less in e.emar d, on aceount of the on wieldiness of the ingot ; and the scarcity of the dollar, con tras'ed with the comparative abundance of the ingot, is proved by the fact that Sycee silver alone is to be obtained on the coast for opium. 'the increasing scarcity of the Spanish dollar seems to hare led to the opinion that the coin of Mexico might be airantageously introduced, as some method or other must be adopted to supply the -deficie. vies of .the circulation. All attempts, however, to introduce the 31(xican dollar base en, tirely failed. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARK ET—MoNaar MCAT. The Second Grillion Stakes (To-morrow)—Eusebius is scratched.

OF THE SUN. SlR,—Allow me space in your Journal to point out to all meetings taking place on the subject of that tax, worthy only of a nation of cowards and slaves—the iniquitous Income Tax— that it is now of the utmost consequence to petition the House of Commons against it, because Mr. Duncombe, and other Liberal Members, intend to present every such petition, and to divide the House on the question that it be received. The inalienable Right of Petition is at stake ! Let us, therefore, supply Liberal Members with weapons—that is with petitions—to fight withal the great battle for its present asser tion and future inviolability. I am, Sir, yours, &c. April 10, 1842. PHILO- H AMPDEN. TO THE EDITOR. OF THE SUN. expend, in round numbers, 3,0001. per annum. A large proportion of this sum goes in affording employment, which I have always considered as the most legitimate means of assisting the poor. But our new Grand Vizier's unwise and unconstitutional scheme compels me to feel that charity begins at home, and that I must trim the vessel of my domestic econo my, so that it may sail close-reefed. I, therefore, discharge a groom, and sell two of my saddle horses, sell or destroy my pine plants, that I may dismiss a labourer from my garden, stop all ornamental work and improvement, that I may get rid of a carpenter and two masons, with three more labourers. I let my experimental farm, deferring useful draining and other ope rations, thus effecting a considerable farther reduction, princi pally in labour, and, with what other economical arrangement time shall enable me to accomplish, shag consider myself as a tolerably good match even for Sir Robert. If all those who determine to adopt a similar plan, would communicate their intention to some newspaper, would not the Grand Vizier begin to think his absurd measure more likely to injure the agricultural labourer, than the free admi ss i on o f foreign corn ? I remain, Sir, respectfully yours, ANTI•PhELER. MONSTROUS IMPOSITION ON TIIE POOR CONSUMER OF SUGAR.—Eight thousand one h un d re d an d fif ty b ags of Manilla sugar were offered for sale last week by auction. Only twelve shillings per cwt. were bid. It might probably be bought for fourteen shillings per cwt., or one penny half penny per lb. ! ! The duty is sixpence three farthings per lb. ! The poor man must pay sevenpence per lb. for his sugar, owing to the protection to the West India merchants, who have al • ready received twenty millions sterling from the Beitish public. People of England, how long will you bear suffering caused by this two•edged sword cutting away all proceeds with which to buy manufactures, thus employing the poor, and raising the price of the necessaries of Iife.—JUSTICZ.

SUGAR.—The market for West India Muscevadoes Sugar has presented a more lively appearance since this day week ; from both grocers and refiners the demand has been good, and the prices paid have been 6d per cwt above those of this day week for all qualities. To-day several inquiries existed for West India Sugar, both for the scale and pan, and most of the parcels on show found cady buyers, at an advance on the rates of Friday of 6d per cwt. Indeed, the supply of Sugar at market is not ample for the wants of the trade, and the want of an assortment pre vented the execution of some orders. The purchases are 450 hhds and trs, being nearly all on show. Jamaica common dark brown fetched 6,:s 6d per cwt. REFINED—Since Tuesday last the demand has been exten sive for Refined Sugar for home consumption, and advanced rates have been paid. To day Refined Goods were in good request, and prices are firm ; Standard lumps at 81s 6d per cwt. Treacle met with a free sale at 27s to 325. Of Bastards and pieces large parcels were sold, fully supportive , the rates above quoted. For seve ral pared; of Bonded Crushed Sugar 28s 9d to 293 paid. Ma inirrins.—This afternoon there were buyers of all de scriptions, and at auction 7,363 bags were all disposed of with spirit, at prices 6.1 per cwt above those of last sale ; fine yellow fetched 67s to 68s, good 66; to 663 6d, mid 64s to 65. i 6d, low 63; to 63; 6d, fine brown 61s 6d, good mid 58s, low grey 59s to 59s 6d per cwt, at which rates some parcels were sold privately.

COFFEE.—There has been a better demand for clean de scriptions of West India Coffee, and full rates have been ob tained. To-day there was no public sale of any description of Coffee, but by private contract there was a much better demand for all descriptions subject to the 6d duty, Sir Robert Peel having stated that he intends to adhere to the plan proposed by him—viz., to admit Coffee, the produce of British possessions, at 4d per lb. Ceylon met with a brisk demand, and has advanced 3s to 4s per cwt ; sales of good ordinary were made at 79; to 80s, and fine ordinary 82s to 86; per cwt; in British plantation large purchases were pre vented, owing to the want of a supply, and the small parcels offering were disposed of at an advance corresponding with that of Ce)lon.

It is manifest that no resources, however great, and no energy, however perse vering, can support a large public establishment without the assistance of the public. Mr. Calcraft respectfully appeals to the good tas'e and feeling of the citizens of Dublin not to suffer their national theatre to be extinguished, at a time whets the city appears to be crowded with the rank and wealth of the land, when a very moderate share of patronage would enable it to combat successfully with all difficulties, and when there are engagements formed, involving great responsibilities on the part of the manager, and comprising the most brilliant talent in all departments of the drama, with every prospect of asa isfactoty result." This announcement cannot have come by surprise on those who have witnessed the gradual with drawal of patronage from our national dramatic establishment, until. with every attraction capable of being produced, the theatre has latterly become actually abandoned.—Dublin Even ng A short time ago a carabineer, stationed at Chani bery, the capital of Savoy, having an animosity against one of his officers, fired at, but missed him. Another officer, hearing the report, came to inquire the cause, when the carabineer having reloaded his piece, and, believing it was the first officer re turning to arrest him, discharged it again, and killed him in stantly. The man was brought to a court-martial, and con demned to death. He so deeply regretted his crime, that, by his will, he left all the property he possessed to the widow and children of the officer whose life he had involuntarily taken. A country clergyman, by his dull, monotonous discourse, set all the congregation asleep, except an iuiot, who sat with open mouth, listening. The parson enraged, and thumping the pulpit, exclaimed, " What ! all asleep but this poor idiot ?" " Aye," quoth the natural, " and if I had not been a poor idiot, I would have been asleep too." We read in the Obserrateur Grec :—"A French officer, Col nil Thouet, who has resided for six years in Greece, is charged with the erection of a monument in the church of Napoli di Romania, in honour of the Philhellenists who fell in Greece. When M. Piscatory passed through Napoli, last year, the Colonel requested hint to apply to the French Government for a copy of a painting by a great master, to be placed near the monument. The French Minister of the Interior has complied with the request, and ordered a painting to be made." LAUNCH OF THE SPITEFUL STEAAI That fine steam-vessel the Spiteful, built on the Plans of Sir William Symonds, was launched from Pembroke Royal Dock yard on Thursday the 24th ult. The day proving tine, a vast concourse of spectators assembled to witness the imposing ceremony, which took place about four o'clock in the afternoon, amidst the loud and hearty cheers of the gratified company. She is upwards of a thousand tons burden, and intended for naval warfare. — Cambrian. THE FARMERS OF ESSEX AND THE TARIFF.—A requisition, signed by Lords Rayleigh and Western, with 120 'of th e leadin. , agriculturist s o f E ssex, h as been addressed to the Sheriff of the County, requesting him to summon a meet ing on Tuesday, the 19th of April next, to take into consi deration the proposed alterations in the Corn-laws aid tariff duties. The Ilindford Agricultural and Conservative Club have already held a meeting, expressing the uselessness of petitioning Parliament on their grievances, and having confi dence in their own Members, impress on them the hardships that will arise from these changes. Mr. Willis, the author of "Woman's Love," "Lord Darnley," and several other favourite pieces, will take a benefit to-morrow evening at the Victoria Theatre. Three lessees of London theatres have offered their services —namely , Messrs. F. Matthews, of the Hay- Osbahliston, Shepherd, and norther, together with Mr. Ox berry, of Covent-garden, and Mrs. market. This gentleman has afforded much amusement to the play-going public, and we confidently trust they will show a due sense of gratitude, by returning the most substantial compli ment they can confer—a full house.
