Dr. Reid's second lecture on the Chemistry of Daily Life, the course of which is now in pursuance at Exeter Hall, was delivered yesterday evening to a more num; row audience than the p. eceding, and among whom a large gathering of the scien tific young men of the day were prominent. Standing only at tho threshhold of the course, Dr. Revd renders his initiative lessons more than ordinarily palateable acid pleasing : The nature and property of primitive elementary atoms—a wide and uni: versal theme—as well as the action of that equally universal pervading agent, oxygen, upon these, formed his leading sub jects. Atoms, unnoticeable as at first view they appear to the unchemical beholder, are nevertheless the components of every mass and solid in creati , m, and the planet that wheels in gravitation through the skies, depends in its motion upon its aggregate of minute atoms. It was these subtle in finitesimals in which resided attraction, electricity, and mag netic power. The combination and decomposition of these occasioned by the chemical action, which, in some shape or other, is constantly proceeding in nature, gives rise to those changes in solid, liquid, or reriform matter, which daily origi nate new shapes and organizations in all the three kingdoms of nature. Some experiments, elucidative of this proposition, were here performed by Dr: Reid, Oxygen, continued the learned lecturer, powerful operator as it is upon the external surface of the earth, acts no less potently on its interior. To the stirring nature of this agent in the mineral kingdom, an experiment lent full test. Dr. Reid drew from the forge a bar of iron at a white heat. A current of cold air, the pre ponderating ratio of which is, of course, oxygen, was then blown by the bellows on the kindled mass, and every successive blast of the . oxyginised air tended to its diminution, till it was at last totally consumed. Again, the operation of oxygen upon the external surfaces of the earth, was exemplified in the case of temperature, the various modifi cations -of air and climate being caused by the greater or lesser portion of oxygen present. liars A bottle of ether, which in England appears in a fluid state, would, if transferred to India, in the increased temperature. vanish at once into air. The further action of oxygen was manifested in another experi ment, thus:—Some lime in solution, contained in a vessel, ap peared to the eye colourless; a glass tube was inserted, through which an assistant blew air, occasioning the solution iu a few seconds to lose its transpicuity, and become densely clouded. The oxygen conveyed in the air evolved by the human lungs had operated on the lime in the manner which occasioned the change. By inversion of reasoning, atmospheric oxygen exercises in a similar way as marked an influence on the frame of man—a frame composed of atoms of dust, each liable to be acted upon in the same manner as any other species of matter. In further upon this general agent, Dr. Reid proceeded, by an experiment on the air pump, to evidence the compressi bility of wriform or gaseous substances, as also their elasticity, and power of expansion. The most delicate spring, he ob served, in existence, was that which the air assumed to itself; human mechanism was here left in the rear, and this spring was occasioned by variation of pressure in the atmosphere, and produced by the disturbance of its equilibrium. Dr. Reid proceeded to indicate the course he intended to pursue in his subsequent lectures, which appeared to give general pleasure. From those already delivered, it may be safely asserted that Dr. Reid will, have a highly popular run. As an experimentalist he is bold and skilful, and evinces the accustomed master in the adroitness and management of his operations. With regard to his lecture, nevertheless, we consider him somewhat unsystematic, and considering the plain matter-of fact audience who surround him—the beings of daily life—who flock to him to hear expounded to them the " chemistry " of their life and vocations, as proposed by the talented lecturer, floridness of speech might be cast aside, and give way to stricter and more logical demonstration. LEATHER TRADE. At a GENERAL MEETING of the LEATHER TRADE, held at Bridge House Hotel, Londcn-bridge, on Wednesday, the 16th March instant, pur.uant to public Ad vertisement, JOHN WILLIAMS, Esq., in the Chair; It was moved by Mr. BouTenEK ; seconded by Mr. JAMES POWELL, and Resolved-- That this Meeting views with considerable anxiety and alarm the Tariff as proposed by her Majesty's Government Oct the import of Leather in the manufactured state, as well as on Boots and Shoes, believing that such duties are totally inadequate to protect the British Manufacturer of these articles from such an increased import as will tend ma teria:ly to injure that branch of trade which has hitherto been considered one of the staple manufactures of the country. Moved by Mr. THOMAS lIEPRURN—Seconded by Mr. JOHN lI.acKELocK, and Resolved—That in the present depressed state of the trade, which has already suffered very considerably trom the large and increasing imports from the Continent, this meeting fully re lies on her Majes:,y's Government still continuing such a scale of duties as will afford due protection to British manufactures. Moved by Mr. DRAKE—Seconshri by Mr. THOMAS Lay- RENCE, and Resolved—That ibis Meeting cannot help believing that the measures of which they complain have been proposed under an erroneous estimate of the trade, and of the orobable results of the reduction of the duties; and expressing its surprise at a statement made by the First Lord of the Treasury—that the public generally had not be.tefitted by the Abolition of the Leather Tax; but that the benefit so intended to have been conferred had been beneficial only to a few monopolists—feel calle.l on to state that boots and shoes generally (with th% ex ception of those which firm articles of fashion) have been gra dually decreasing in value ; and on Army and Navy Contracts f or boots and shoes since 18:18, the reduction has been not less than 30 per cent., whilst th e amoun t o f d uty repealed on these articles did not amount to more than 8 per cent. Moved by Mr. MEEK—seconded by Mr. Coons, Jun., and Resolved—That the Goods which the new Tariff will admit are such only as are used by the higher classes, whi st the de scription of Leather used, and the coarse heavy shoes worn, by the working wen, will not be imported. Moved by Mr. Jon N It. FlSHER—seconded by Mr. Pm . ), and Resolved—That, in the opinion of this Meeting, the effect of the iir , posed Tariff will be to throw out of employment a large proportion of the operatives of every branch of the Leather arid Shoe Manufactures. Moved by Mr. Joii;i --- g;;iit, Jun.—seconded by Mr. Jo- SE 1.11 CURTIS, and Resolved—That this Meeting, taking into consideration the present p. ice of provisions in this country, as well as the high price of bark, rent, taxes, &c., which ar e at l east d ou bl e, as compared to the C on ti nent o f Europe, unanimously concur in opinion, that, in the adoption of the present proposed scale of duties, they are not placed in such a position as to compete fairly and legitimately with foreign manufactures, and there fore earnestly call upon the Government to pause before it enacts laws so prejudicial to their interests, and that a depu tation be apointed, to consist of Messrs. Williams, Boutcher, James Powell, John Hackblock, Thos. Hepburn, and De Year, to wait on the President of the Baard of Trade to represent their views, and to give them at local information which their acquaintance with the trade enables them to impart. Moved by Mr. PowELL, and seconded by Mr. HACKBLOCK, Resolved—That a petition founded on these resolutions be drawn up and presented to the House of Commons, by Sir Matthew Wool, and that the Members for the City of London, and the borough of Southwark, be requested to support the same. Resolved— That the thanks of the meeting be presented to John Williams, Esq., for h s able conduct in the chair. (Signed) JOSEPH G. HEPBURN, Secretary MONEY MARKET s.nd Cri'Y NEWS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. POST. —Great eau, ion appears to be requisite in, dealing with this Stock ( Nlexican), inasmuil as, from its peculiar position at the present time, it furnishes a vehicle for the ope rations of a clique of schemers not dissimilar to those which have recently been the scandal of the Spanish bolsa, and which called forth the animadversions of the Regent, E , partero, in his Message to the Cortes. T he amount of Active MelCcan Stock in circulation is estimated at somewhere about five mil lions. Of the grass sum more than one-half has the coupons detached in a greater oe less number. This portion is disqua lified from the privilege of quotation pending the proposed ar rangement of the debentures with the agents, Messrs. Lizardi and Co.; and pirties having the command of a few hundred thousand pounds might monopolis-3 the remaining bonls to any extent, and cause rise upon rise, or a daily advance such as that which is in • progress, unt'l the jobbers, finding them selves without stock to deliver, would have no alternative but to conform, en the account day, to any terms that might be exacted, however exorbitant. HERM, D.—The constant multiplication of shops for the vend of tobace., in its various manufactured forms is quite stif tieiknt to attest the fact of the increased and increasing con sumption of the article, independent of the notorious evidence of every day lif e w ithi n every inan's sph ere o f o b servat i on. A n d )et the official returns of tobacco imparted and paid duty upon for 1840, show the amount of consumption, so far as the. real commodity, at 23,126,00011 m., whilst for 1841 the returns show only re n3 r it , i IOO,OO Olb consumption ., of what or a fal l t g i off, in the face of a cons t an t in es sold for tobacco, of 1,036,0001b5. In views of the frauds notoriously committed to so vast an amount in the manufacture of tobacco, it may be reasonably doubted whether the present rate of duty is not pitched much tco high ; and whether a lower rate might not only prove more productive )n revenue, but also serve t o p ro t ec t th e poor imposed upon and injured in h ea lth reon s nm as consumer a from source be o being g by the poi•onous ingredients cheaply baited under the same name and substitution for the genuin: and less noxious article. It is a sound economical principle in this, and held good in all other countries also, that the half or wholly manufactured article should be taxed higher than the raw material. The reason is obvious. Whatever interferes with labour which can he performed at home :should, in the interest of home labour, be discouraged or taxed to a fair extent. But what is the case with tobacco? Of the twenty-two or twenty-three millions of lbs. imported and consumed here, a proportion amounting to three-fourths, il•rhaps of four- fifths, comes in a partly-manu het ured shape ; that is, it comes in the state known as " stem med" tobacco ; the dirty upon which is, nevertheless, no more than upon " unstemmed" leaf, instead of being, as it ought to be, visited with an extra tax charg e of 6d., or, at the least, 2d. per lb. The consequence is, that the work of " stemming," instead of being performed by and giving employment for, as it would do, az being a species of labour well adapted to our countrywomen, comes already done to hand by the slave labour of Virginia, Kentucky, and other slave holding States. sSUN.—Owing to the anxiety of parties to realize the advance of yesterday the quotations of the English Funds are net quiteso good. '1 he market, however, was very f i rm, and closed with every appearance of the present priced being maintained. The amount of unemployed capital is large, and will shortly be further inercas, dby the payment of the April dividends; and after the losses incurred by foreign loans, and the extreme de preciation in the value of American Securities, scarcely any other opportunities offer for investment, except our own stock and undertakings in this country. Consols left off at 893 894 for Money, and 89Z- 90 for the Account. On the 14th April Exchequer Bills 29 to 31 prem. The depression which affected the Forei;.n Funds in the middle of the day, was recovered just previously to the close of business, and the quotations remain as yesterday—Portuguese Five per Cents, 341 35 ; the Three per Cei - As., 20i ; Colom bian, 26Z 27h ; Spanish, 25 to 25h ; Mexican, 4'2 to 42k. This is the last official price, but, after the Market shut, some busi ness was transacted at 41 to 41 1 4, or a dividend of one per cent. Railway Shares continue firm in price, although the pur chases have been limited.. Birmingham wire 85 to 6.54 ; Great Western, 27 28; the Half Shares 14 to 14i prem. ; 13irming ham and Gloucester, 56 to 58 ; South Western, 59 to 60 ; Gosport, 59 to 60 ; North. Midland, 70 to 72; the New Shares, 34 1 A to 35%; Blackwall, 351 to 36; Brighton, 354 to 36 per share ' • South Eastern, 22 to 211 ; Eastern Counties, 13 1 4 to 12:% discount. Some of the " innocent" holders of the spurious Exchequer Bills are beginning to be fearful of what their position may be under the Commission. This apprehension arises from a ru mour that two gentlemen are about to act, who are well-known to be most unlikely to neglect the duty entrusted to them, but that from their long experience, every transaction will be most thoroughly sifted; many of which it is conjectured will not bear a very strict examination, and allow the parties to retain he appellation of " innocent." TO T - H O F THE UNITEDC AT r CHARTIST S KINGDOM Brothers,—Messrs. Vincent, Roberts, Clarke, and Philp, have stated, through The Sun, that my reports in last week's Star, of their speeches, sentiments, and resolutions, are en tirely destitute of truth.

The Non-Intrusion camp was thrown into sore dismay last week, in consequence of the flight from justice of a lay rept e s-ntative of the Presbytery of Dundee in the General Assem bly, who is al.o:a member of the Non-Intrusion Committee. The individual referred to boasts of a descent from the great Scot tish ecclesiastical reformer, and was some years ago married to the daughter of a Scottish peer, with whom he continued to reside until the recent disgraceful occurrence. In the earlier part of his career he followed the profession of arms ; but the sword has been laid aside for the ploughshare, and the excitement of active service exchanged for the more con genial employment of aiding the clergy in their design upon the privileges of the people. It appears that some time ago a young lady, the daughter of a no bl e h ouse , was u p on a visit to the mansion of the Non-Intrusion hero, where an inter course of an improper nature o-iginated between the parties, of course without the knowledge of the aggrieved wife. During the whole time the outward mask of sanctity was preserved inviolate, and the religious observance of the household was carried on in the uival manner. In con! it. quence of a criminal proceeding, with the view of con cealing the guilty fruits of this intercourse, the male culprit has rendered himself liable to the punishment of trans portation, and only escaped from the retribution due to the offence by a speedy flight from the country of his birth. It is said that he was accompanied part of the way by his in jured wife, who refused to travel further without learning the cause of the unexpected journey, and then left her husband to proceed by himself. The affair, as may be supposed, has created an extraordinary sensation, more especially in the Carte of Gowrie. The guilty fugitive was considered to be a well meaning sort of individual, with a good deal of the spooney in his composition, and, in short, just such a tool as the Non- Intrusionists can best use for their own purposes. He was accordingly put forward, from time to t;me, in a very promi nent way in his own locality, in obedience to the wishes of the established clergy. The Presbytery of Dundee sent him as their representative to the General Assembly; and, although possessed of no influence beyond what his position in society and reputed wealth gave him. he was nominated as a member of the Committee for carrying out the great principle of Non- Intrusion. Some of the clerical belligerents have been for some time talking loudly on the subject of excommunication, in re gard to railway servants and others making use of the railway on Sunday. We wonder whether the case of Captain Knox Trotter, of Ballingdean, will attract any share of their atten tion.— Glasgow Chronicle, of Monday. ERRATUM.—ID our paper of Tuesday evening, in the letter headed " Injustice of an Income Tax," there was an error. It should have read thui—" Now if this modern Jupiter would but keep the log, &c." instead of "hog." LADY ANNE GRANARD.—A very great interest has been excited by the announcement of a work of fiction, bearing the above title, from the pen of the late Miss Landon, whose deplorable death must be deep in the regretful memories of the thousands who admired her genius and her worth. The last prose production of this gifted writer, " Ethel Churchill," w as universally admitted to be one of the very first books of its class, and was hailed with delight as the precursor of a series of works which would place L. E. L. at the head of dm novelists of her day. Her untimely fate prevented the fulfilment of this well-tounded expectation ; but in the novel of '6 Lady Anne Granard" we are naturally . induced to look for still greater manifestations of that luxuriant imagination, deep pathos, and sparkling wit, which m ade. " E thel Churchill" one of the most striking and original works of the period. As the posthumous and last production of L. E. " Lady Anne Granard" is eagerly looked for by the reading public, and it will no doubt be regarded as a most interesting memorial of its lamented author. _ having the appearance of sailors, ----- IttVFR toin o'clock the body THREE BODIES FOUND IN THE THAMES.— On Saturday morning, between seven and ei s g o h m t e o' b e a lo r c a k e , Lhe t bodies of two young men, w re found floating in the river Thames, off Rotherhithe.

Now, what but the distress of traders is meant by the distress of the country? What threw the Paisley , weavers out of work, but the inability of the manufac turers to employ them P And as Earl FITZWILLIAM well observed in the House of Lords on Monday night, `What can be more unjust than to tax these persons, to make up a deficiency in the revenue ?" So long as Government exacts a portion of indirect taxes, the mercantile and working classes will pay a double quota, in spite of themselves, in that way. -Every business transaction into which they enter is profit able to the Exchequer, however ruinous to themselves. But, perhaps, no class of tax-payers, included in Sir ROBERT PEEL'S project, would deserve to -be more the objects of a generous commiseration than those with incomes amounting to,or little exceedinglso/. a year, earned in the counting-house or at the writing desk. With no sustenance for sickness, no provision for old age, but the pittance which they can contrive by the most frugal and self-denying economy to save out of their hard-earned income, those persons are deprived of every hope of escaping the workhouse by the operation of the income tax. Nor is this to them the keenest suffering. .Their habits of prudent economy, and strict integrity in their dealings, enable them, for the sake of their families, to assume an ap pearance of wealth which they do not possess, sand the first operation of an income tax is to expose their honest poverty to the unmitigated scorn and contempt of their richer neighbours. Let it not be said this is an evil, where moral worth, even among rela tions by blood, is rated by wealth. We must not forget that in England a respectable family means a rich one ; and that the consolations of a good con science to the man whose family is ruined, are an offer of Heaven which human Governments have no right to presume to make. The laws of society are laws for the direction of human legislation. Among the communications addressed to us of a really important character, is one from a gentleman of great experience in financial affairs, which takes for its basis the principle laid down in The Sun of yes terday, that an income tax, if established at all, ought only to affect the surplus income over and above 1491. 19s. 114 d. a year. We think the rate of tax which he proposes too high to begin with; but were the scale to graduate properly, we have little doubt that a larger amount of taxes would be raised by his plan than by the project of the Government. Our Correspondent says,— According to the proposed tax the circumstances of the individual are imperfectly considered, and regard is had merely to the absolute value of the income. But the true relative value of an income must ob viously be its possible capability of accumulation, and it is only on this principle that incomes under 1501. per annum can be fairly exempted from the ope ration of the tax, it being presumed that persons pos sessing this income are not able to lay by any surplus beyond what may be necessary to meet unforeseen domestic exigencies. It would be more equitable to rate the tax on the amount of income,, first deducting 150/. as a part free from taxation. Taking the rate of 3 per cent. upon this plan, the additional half per cent. would more than compensate the exempted 1501. on each income, and the taxes would be as follow : Liable to I Sir Hobert - him:m Taxation. Amount of Taa l Peel's Tax at Three per Cent. __-_—_-------. X. £. 1 £. 5. X.

Sni,—Deeming your invaluable Paper a chan nel more likely than any other of the daily press to disseminate extensively and generally one of the best speeches that has been uttered in Par liament on the all-important subject of Taxation and the Corn-laws, I beg to give, from my own written memorandum, the speech of Earl Fitz william, on Monday night last, following the read ing by Lord Brougham, of the Resolutions lie has since submitted to the House of Lords. Lord Fitzwilliam said, that he was about to pre sent a petition upon a subject which some of their Lordships might consider as settled, but which he considered as only just submitted, to the practical consideration of Parliament The petition proceeded from Kettering, in Northamptonshire, a town which, though to a certain extent manufacturing, was ex posed to powerful agricultural influences. The real struggle for the repeal of tire present Corn-laws ap peared to Lord Fitzwilliam to have only just com menced. On the first day of the. Session he had expressed his gratitude to her Majesty's Ministers for having, called the attention of Parliament to that subject, and he now repeated the expression of his th inks for the measure which they had proposed, lie considered it an improvement of the existing system—a small improvement indeed; a step in the right direction, though but a trifling instalment of that great debt which the Landowners of England owed to the rest of their countrymen. Though it was a step in the right direction, he regretted th a t t h e measure was not likely to b e final, as the prolonged, agitation of this question was exceedingly injurious to all the classes connected with the land. Lord Fitzwilliam added, that as his Noble and Learned Friend (Lord Brougham) had given notice of a motion on the Financial Scheme which had been proposed, ; he. would express his satisfaction that it was to be thUi t brought under their Lordships' consideration. Of parts of that plan he approved—of others he disap proved; he approved of the intention to raise a reve nue from the profits, of land, or, in other words, from realised property, but he did not approve of the duty on the profits of the tenantry, and still less upon the income derived from trades and professions. He was astonished at the proposal, for, when the distresses of the manufacturing and commercial classes were so great and so indisputable, as to be made mention of in the Queen's Speech, he was utterly surprised at the endeavour to raise a revenue from the profits of those classes! Those profits had, in truth, little or no exist ence, and the imposition of a tax upon them could have no other effect but to depress them still more, and to throw an additional obstacle in the way of their revival." Lord Fitzwilliam presented a great number of other petitions, praying the repeal of the, Corn-laws. The readers of The Sun cannot fail to appre ciate noble and patriotic expressionS such as the above ; nor will you, Sir, I am. sure, refuse doing me the kindness to give them circulation in your truly patriotic paper. I am, Sir, yqurs truly. City, March 14, 1842. A MERCHANT. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. WARWICK RACES, YESTERDAY. The Trial Stakes, of 10 sous. each, and 50 added. One mile. (7 Subs.)

Such an example will not be without due effect. It will excite all the branche s of the Royal Family, even King ERNEST, to pay over a portion of their incomes to relieve the public burdens. Why, indeed, should they be exempted ? While vast numbers of industrious, hard-working artisans and small shopkeepers are struggling for a bare subsistence, and at the same time paying their proportion of taxes to support the Crown and the State, is it reasonable that those who live by their exertions should not contribute at least in the same proportion ? The QUEEN says it is reasonable that all should pay, and shame be on those who fail to imitate her noble conduct. The QUEEN DOWAGER has 100,00c1, and can well afford to give 3,0001. a-year out of that sum for the exigencies of that commonwealth which furnishes her with such a princely income. The other branches of the Royal Family will have to pay only about 6001. a-year each, and if the King of IrallovEn refuses to accede to the plan of Sir ROBERT PEEL, and submit to a reduction on his salary sent out of the country, the remedy is very simple—cut It off altogether. It is, indeed, a disgrace to both Whig and Tory Governments to have allowed this enemy of the people of England to take from them yearly 22,0001., to which, as a foreign Sovereign, he has no earthly claim. The conduct of the QUEEN in this affair is above all praise. It shows that she sympathises with her people, and that she is determined to induce all those who enjoy wealth at the expense of the people, to come forward and contribute, like all other classes, to the re venue of the country. The more we reflect upon the necessary operation of an income tax upon the trade and commerce of this country, the more we feel satisfied that an extensive modification of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S plan must take place, unless the Tory Premier intends, by enforcing it, to increase the present general distress. Letters upon the subject are pouring in upon us from all parts of the country, all breathing hostility to a pro ject of taxation which makes no distinction between income derived from capital, and income arising from the profits of enterprise, and the wages of labour. The cry of one class of objectionists is this : " Why did not Sir ROBERT PEEL begin with a mode rate property tax, and try first what that would pro duce ? Nearly all the expenses of Government are incurred to protect property, therefore upon it ought to fall the chief burdens of the State. It is to pro tect property that ware are carried on ; that armies are levied ; that fleets are equipped and manned ; that garrisons are kept up ; that diplomacy performs its farce of solemn grimace ; and that Royalty , itself is declared by the possessors of pro perty to be necessary. Begin, then, with the taxation of this costly property, whether landed or funded, and should there still be a deficit, no one able to bear it will object to a slight income tax, proportioned to the stake which his income gives him in the welfare of the country." Others again con t!nd, that the inquisition into the affairs of commer c. al people to which the tax, as proposed, must give rise, will ruin an immense number of small traders, who now contrive to support themselves honestly upon a nominal capital. Even the business of extensive Twoottiera ran. The Hurdle Stylus of 5 son. each, and 25 added. Tito miles. Gentlemen riders, were won by Mr. Wilders's 11se Tiger, aged, list 41b, beating Mr. Robiimores Finality, agfd, list 41b, and Mr. Brookes' Obelisk, aged, list 41b. The Farmers' Plate was won by Mr. Cowper's The Mite, beating Mr. Robbins' Dragon and two others, in two heats.
