After a few words from Sir R. PEEL and Mr. HAWES, The original clause was agreed to. Mr. BROTHERTON then moved that the Chairman re port progress, and obtain leave to sit again. An Hort. MEMBER seconded the motion. After a few observations from Sir ROBERT PEEL and Mr. LABOUCHERE, The Committee then divided, when there appeared — For the motion ...

An inquest was held yesterday afternoon before Mr. Payne, the Coroner, in the school-house, Philip-lane, I Vood-street, on the bodies of John Lucas, George Lucas, Ann Lucas, and Alfred Lucas. Ann Gorman was the first witness called, and who deposed as follows :—I am servant in the house No. 4, Sion-gardens, oseepied by !Mr. Lucas. I have been in his employment nearly four months. I was in the house yesterday morning. Mrs: Lucas was my aunt. I saw Mr. Lucas yesterday morn ing on the stairs. He said to my aunt, " Shall Igo up stairs, and fetch the children ?" and she replied, " Yes, any dear." Mr. Lucas had been gone about ten minutes, when my aunt told me to go and see what her husband was about. I went up stairs to the room where the two youngest children gene rally sleep. I put my head into the room, and saw the little boy. It was the eldest, and his name was George, and was ten years old. I saw the blood, but 1 did not see where he was hurt. I then went to the other room, and there 1 saw the two other children on the bed, as they are now. I saw that there was blood about them. One was named Ann, who was six years of age ; the other's name was Alfred, and he was four years of aee. 'When I saw them I ran down stairs, and screamed to my aunt.' This was about nine o'clock. Soon after that Mr. Pierce came in and he went up stairs. He lodged in the house ; there was another gentleman who lodged in the house, but his name Ido not know ; he came in also. I went up stairs and went into the room again. I saw my uncle first as he is now. I saw the razor in his hand. The blade of the razor touched the eldest child's face. He was not bleeding, but there was blood about him. Mrs. Lucas's sister was im mediately sent for. She live; in Oliver -street, • Westminster. A doctor was sent for afterwards, but I cannot say how long af terwards. I was in the habit of sleeping with the two young est children. When I left the room in the morning they were then both asleep. • George sleeps in the middle room. Mr. Lucas slept where the two youngest children now lie. 1 do not know how the children got into that room. Mr. Lucas must have gone into that room and fetched them. Mr. Lucas came down before me that morning. He spoke to me when I came down ; he was cleaning his own boots and his children's shoes. He told me to tell one of the gentlemen that his boots wanted repairing. He shaved himself afterwards. I should think it was about half-past seven ; it was in the kitchen near the win dow, which was his usual habit. hey had not had their breakfasts. After he shaved himself he did not say anything to me. When he be g an shaving it was about half-past seven. When he had shaved himself he went up stairs. Mrs. Lucas was down stairs then. He said as he went up stairs, "My dear, shall I go and fetch the children." She said, " Yes, if you please, my dear." He turned round and looked at her very hard, anti she asked him what he wanted, and he said he was going to put his razors away. He generally kept them in a bu reau in the kitchen. 1 (lid not see him put them away. I can't say whether he had them in his hand. Mrs. Lucas said, " Shall I put there away, my dear?" H e sa id, " N ever mind, my dear." He then went up stairs. I have noticed him lately to he very low-spirited and wretched. The cause was his leaving his situation; he left before Christmas ; it was at Air. Bassett's, in Wood-street. I do not know why he left. It was his master's act. Does not know why he was dis charged. I believe his master turned him away without any previous notice. He has • been in a situation since, but only for a few days. Ido not know where it was. The reason he left them was he did not know the business. That was about a fortnight ago. They were in no want of food at home. They lived by theiflodgers. He was on very good terms with his wife, and was doatingly fond of his children, and they of him. I never heard him say he would destroy his wife. Has heard of his speaking about the probability of their coming to want. This was told to me by my aunt. He was a very so ber and industrious man. I never heard him say or do any thing that appeared to be strange. He was in the habit of going to church, but no particular one. He generally took the children with him. He had , made no arrangements for going out. He slid not say anything about it. He cleaned all their boots, and his own too, ready to go out. He went some times to Aldermanbury, and sometimes to Christ Church. By a Juror—When he was out of employment, he spent his evenings at home, but he was generally out all day. He used to come home to his kreals. I did not see any sign of life in either of the children when I went up. He was not gone up stairs more than ten minutes. Policeman, 155, deposed that he was passing down the street, and in consequence of what he heard from a neighbour, he went into Sion-gardens, where he saw a gentleman, who told him he had heard a s'eream of murder. He went into the house, No. 4, and went up stairs. When he got to the top of the house, he went to the room at the end of the passage. The door was a little open, and he saw the body of one of the chil dren lying againstit. lie opened the door a littlo, and he saw' Lucas lying on his right side, With the razor h i hi s r i g h t ' hand. He then went in and found both thOpay and father dead. He came out; went into the other room, where the other children were lying, both dead. The surgeon came sown after. He knew Lucas by sight, but never spoke to him far ther than a passing-good morning. By a Juror—The bodies were warm. :Maria Stevens deposed that she lived hi Sion-gardens. She heard a noise yesterday scorning at about half-past eight. She heard the elder boy cry out, "Oh father, father, don't." She immediately called Mr. Stevens, and asked him if he heard it? They paused for some time, and they heard another cry. and apparently a rustling in the room, followed by a fall. Had seen Lucas a few evenings previously, when he appeared very dejected. He said he was very poorly off, and he grieved much that his wife had to exert herself so much. James Green, of Oliver-street, Westminster, deposed that his wife and Mrs. Lucas are sisters. Has seen Mr. Lucas fre quently ; not so frequent since he left Mr. Bassett as before. Witness is in Somerset House. Deceased came into his room on the day of his (decedeirs) discharge, and in a very agitated manner said Bassett has discharged me. Witness said, good God ! what have you done ? He said he had been away from the office a few minutes, and when he came back his money was ready for him, together with a month in advance, and he was told his services would not be required further. Witness could not call to mind whether the de ceased said he asked for an explanation. He saw him a fear days afterwards ' when he said he had nothing to fear, as Mr. Bassett had told him he would give him a good character. That was some time in January. Lucas was at witness's house last week, and the witness was at Lucas's house from one o'clock till twenty minutes past ten on Saturday night. He then seemed in a very low and de jected state. lie talked about his affairs. V; itness had sent him a letter of advice a few days before, and he said he had read it with great interest two or three times, and told witness he"was sorry he had not taken his advice at first. The prin cipal thing which appeared to weigh on his mind was the thonht that his children would come to want. He had been with Mr: Bassett for-- nearly four years. He has since had another situation, but only for a few days. He told witness that Mr. Lowe (the person who employed him) had said to him " Lucas, you have something on your mind." Since he has left his employment lie has been quite an altered man. Wit. nest has never seen a smile on his countenance since he lust his situation. lie then said he was a ruined man. He called at the apartments of witness on Sunday fortnight, and said he had not not a situation, and b urst i nto tears, saying, " What will become of my poor family ?" Had no engagement with him for this week ; but he had invited a friend to come to tea on Sunday. By a Juror—His spirits were usually good, when in the ser vice of Mr. Bassett. Everybody with whom he had lived, had the highest opinion of him. Witness never heard a word of complaint against him from any one. He was in the em ploy of Mr. Burbage, of Blackfriar's-bridge, previous to his going to Mr. Bassett's. J. S. Bassett deposed that he carried on his business in Wood-street. The deceased was employed in the warehouse. He was discharged early in January last. Told the deceased that witness was about to make some alteration in his establishment, in consequence of a party going out who had previously had the care of the premises, and therefore he should not want his services further. Witness did not want a married man to be on the premises, and he had engaged a single one. Witness could not take the deceased, as he had a wife and family. The deceased was dissatisfied with his salary. He wanted 50/. a-year advance. lie left for no misconduct whatever. Has seen him since. Has given him a good character. He called on witness about a a month ago, when he said his uncle, who resides at Worthing, was in town, and he was about to enter into an arrangement with his uncle to go into partner. ship. Witness, at the request of the deceased. spoke to the uncle of the deceased respecting- this. The deceased called afterwards and said the affair was broken off. He then seemed very much out of spirits. Told him that if witness heard of a situation he would tell him. Another witness deposed that lie lived in Hamburgh, and was travelling through London on business. He took the ap partments in the house of the deceased. lie brought his lug gage, aria it was placed in the parlour. The deceased came into the parlour.. His manner was extremely stran g e. fie asked witness what he had got in his boxes, and wished to take them up stairs. Deceased said he had been with Mr. Bassett for 'l4 years. The deceased was in and out of the room seven or eight times, and every time he went out lie, held the door in his hand, and looked hard at the witness._ The last time he came he said "Do you want a warehouse, because if you do lozni can put me into it; I want a berth." His manner was ,extremely strange, and his conversation incoherent. The wit teas then corroborated the testimony of the first 'in • In the Morning he beard a wi was es ir s ; bed. Pe heard one of the children say up ,s ' t t a i l l r i l er w uel d , e wicked father." James Spencer, a draper, residing near Watfordi deposed to having met the deceased iri the Strand la s t w ee k. His manner was extremely wild, and he said he had Mt. to make up in three weeks, for money he bad borrowed to take • the house he lived i n . D eceased said he was afraid of coining to the workhouse. Mr. Sinaker, the surgeon, Wm was called in, corroborated the evidence of former witnesse,. The CORONER then summed up the evidence, and-the Jury immediately returned a verdict of—" Temporary derangement." UNION ASSURANCE COMPANY.—The annual meet ing of this Company took place on the llth ult., at their offic e i n Cornhill, when a bonus .was declared equal to a moiety of the whole profits of the Life Department, payable upon and with the sum insured by policies effected for the whole term of life, on and prior to Dec. 31, 1840, and in force on the 30th of June, 1841 (by the profit system), in Great Britain, Ireland, and Germany, respectively. It would likewise appear that, besides this large appropriation, a reserve has been made out of the surplus profits of an amount which, with the moiety afore said, is equal to two-thirds of the whole profit of the Life De partment. This CoMpany has also very properly placed the advantages of life assurance within the reach of a greater circle, more especially persons ihmiddle cireu'..stances, by its consent to receive premiums half-yearly and quarterly, a convenience which ought not to be lost sight of. By some remarks that were collected during the meeting, we find the Union Society was instituted so long back as the reign of Queen Anne, and that Wily have a very large invested capital belonging to the Proprietors, in addition to the accumulated funds arising from fire andlife assurance.

Many of the rules laid down by the " Collective Wisdom" for the regulation of their proceedings, are regarded by those not initiated in the mystery of law making, as extremely abstird, and are retained, as far as men of common sense can discover, solely because our great grandfathers, in times of ignorance, thought them expedient. The " wisdom of our ancestors," in fact, sanctifies every practice. The rule respecting the right of petition, announced by the SPEAKER last night, no doubt, was considered absolutely necessary, in days of old, to stop the mouths of those who disliked new taxes; and though the most unjust and preposterous in a country governed on Constitutional principles, it is retained, in order that our lawgivers may not be annoyed in their deliberatitms by the remonstrances and petitions of the people. In answer to a question from the Hon. Member for Liskeard last night, Mr. SfEAKER said it was against the rules of the House to receive petitions against any tax which had come under the consideration of the House ; and it would therefore be impossible to receive any petition against the tax in question (the In come Tax.) So that while the country is crying out against this inquisitorial impost, and men of small in come, and all persons in *trade regard it with absolute horror, they are to be gagged, not by law, but by a resolution of the House of Commons. They are to sit down quietly, and suffer unmolested their representa tives, falsely so called, to pass a law which they repro bate and detest—a law, compared with which, the • famous Assessment act of the French Finance Minister, that raisad all but a . general rebellion, is - Merciful and just. Passing over the absuNity of such a re gulation, we look only at the unfair advantage it takes of the public. The resolution of Sir ROBERT • PEEL was anounced only last Friday ; the secret was so well kept that not one in fifty of the clerks in public offices had even a sus . pieion of the new tax; and it took the people throughout the country absolutely by sur prise, so that no time - whatever has been given for them to approve or disapprove of the scheme. An ukasi of the Emperor of RUSSIA is not a more despotic act than a resolution of the Prime Minister, against which the people have no appeal. The voice of the country, howesfer; is not to be stifled in this way. They will set the rules of the House at defiance—they will assemble and petition and whether they forward their remonstrances to their representatives or not, the effect will be quite the same. The form of laying a petition on the table, or thrusting it under the table, is of no intrinsic value. The expression of public opinion is everything, and the Government will be made to. hear it from the meetings throughout the country more effectually than from ten thousand petitions. Let the people stand to their rights, and put an end at once to the practice of rejecting their advice when it is most wanted. Our disasters in Affghanistan are "cakes and ale" to our French contemporaries. We could place no repast before them which they would have devoured with half the delight with which they gloat over every fragment of the tragical intelligence from Cabool, brougkt by the last Overland Mail. The National derives exceeding comfort from the assurance that the massacre of six thousand British troops in Cabool was but the prelude to similar massacres of our troops at Can dahar and Khelat ; and what is still snore gratifying to that Journal, to the total destruction of our power in India. To show what friendly neighbours we have in the French Republican Press, we quote an extract from the editorial columns of the National It is impossible for us, as Frenchmen, to see with sorrow the power of England sustain so serious a cheek. Neverthe less, we cannot suppress a feeling of deep compassion when we think of so many brave soldiers being sacrificed, so far from their country, through the fault of the most ambitious ' and greedy aristocracy in 'the world. The British Govern ment had exgccted to open new markets for its wealthy mer chants in the extensive regions of Central Asia. The Eng lish had presented themselves there as conquerors, with a de itermination to change the manners, the laws, and the habits of the people. They brought with them missionaries and despots, who gave no quarter to prisoness. But the natives of Cabool in no wise resemble those of the Indian peninsula, who are such docile slaves. They have risen with sa vage energy against usurpers and destroyed them. This is but a just chastisement inflicted on British ambition. We must only pity the fate of the unhappy victims, whose blood has expiated the faults of their masters. England sinks under the weight of a disaster which deprives her of so many ' brave regiments, and occasions the loss of hundreds of millions employed in upholding the power of an imbecile despot. The energy, which she always evinced under similar circumstances appears now to fail her. Are we to trace in this state of public feeling the beginning of the decline of English power ?. Should this prognostic be correct the world would soon forget the sorrow felt at the death of Sir W. APNaghton and his companions, for the humiliation and overthrow of British oligarchy would be productive for mankind of the greatest blessings." The Sleek participates in all that indifference to sor row which the National asserts Frenchmen must feel at the direst reverses of England. According to that Journal, England is properly punished by the atrocious indignity offered to the head of Sir IV. .11‘.1NAoliTEN for the part which she took in ex citing the ferocity of the Spaniards against the French in the Peninsular war ! In our simplicity we had previously thought that the natural ferocity of the Spanish soldiery was checked, and a civilised character given to the war by Great Britain. But, ex cept for the animus of the remark, we may pass very lightly over the charge of being ferocious by deputy. Frenchmen cannot deny that our soldiers are brave, and the truly brave are never cruel. What most concerns our readers is the opinions expressed by the Siecle of our reported reverses in Affghanistan. That Journal says:— 64 Every conqueror who retreats is lost. Perhaps it was t possible not to have crossed the Indus; but now it would be disastrous to recross it. The British Cabinet is in the most difficult position. Lady 11I‘Naghten ar.d fifteen other English ladies are in the hands of the Affghans, who demand to ex change them against Dost Mahomed. If the English accept the exchange, they dcthrune Shah Soojah with their own hands. If they refuse, the Afighans are capable of killing their pri soners. Reprisals must be used against Dost Mahomed, or if he be spared the English will pass for cowards in the eyes of the people of Cabool, who have raised a temple to the goddess of revenge. "England is rich and energetic; she may re-establish her dominion in India for some time longer, but the term of the India Britannic empire is marked; it will conclude before the quarter of a century." • The difficulties of our position are verygreat, but w•e c an assure the Siede and the National, and the French Press generally, that our empire in India is quite safe notwithstanding. A great statesman formerly described our empire in India as an empire of opinion. It was so then, but now it has a less fluctuating basis. It is an empire of fact, of force, and of power, as well as of opinion. One reverse can as little drive us out of India, as it could out of our own island home. The Journal des Debuts, which rated us so sharply for the supposed enormity of fomenting an ill feeling be- 1 tween the two countries, has an article intended to show that we are no better than a nation of brigands, who fight, not for honour, but for plunder. Not content with Cabool, the Debuts goes to China, where it contends that we have established a system of razzias, or plun dering expeditions, merely to fill our coffers. With a mo-i desty that would become a bride on the morning of her nuptials, the Debats does not so much as hint that we must have borrowed the idea of razzias from the ex ploits of France herself in Africa. It is for us, how ever, to do justice to the military genius of France. Hers was the glory of this mighty discovery in the art of war ; and before it could be adopted by an ELLIOT or a POTTINGER, the Moniteur had made Europe familiar with 'the perfection with which, " at the witching hour ofnight," it was carried on in many an Arab village by 'the heroes commanded by a CLAU SEL and a BuotiAun. We have not forgotten those bul letins from Algiers, describing midnight razzias, in which not an Arab escaped the swords, and not an Arab's goat or sheep the stomachs, of the French. Hav ing done this justice -to the genius of France, we quote the remarks of the Debuts, which affects melt a desire for the maintenance'of the most friendly relations with England : • " When Captain Elliot having exhausted his resources, and finding the period of command about to expire, adopted tie idea of demanding some'imillious; of dollars from the mandarins of Canton, as a compensation for alt the losses which the British merchants experienced, a univesal cry of reprobation v.as raised by every English .Journal from Macao to London. No term could be found sufficiently strong to :tigmatise thesharae ful conduct of tke superintendent; they even went so far as to say, that England was disgraced for ever. Now, however, ortnions are changed, and no one condemns ibis system of r zsem or razzias, which have the same meaning, and which the 12'14i" generals appear to have undertaken to 4.pply throw t China. A proclamation signed by Sir H. Pottinff*er and A dmiral g"6 . uarker commands the officers of the British navy to search all the . Ing the others into tho ports cincuPied by clunese vessels they may meet, to burn those of no Ns-hal garrisonsu e,a nd to t o b . 1 - 3 e ::(11.(4,:dnid,. the prodnee divided aii.^engst i ci a9 n. of campaign has been thetroops composing the exi.. expeditions against al- The nygoam execution Neni n(ge dpo, &c.,1 this it a n lpv e pe w re en solely with this r c e h a 4 were 1. r . 5 '. 0 ,: r t t a t I :: object." With the help of these extracts, and the iL furious article in the Presse, :against any further coun tenance whatever of the anti-slavery policy of England our readers can be at no loss to perceive that what with Lord ABERDEEN'S blunders, and what with an inherent jealousy of us, we have no sympath y in our distresses to expect from France. 'ention of a M. Walsh, Director of the Journal La Mode, has been eon • deinned to three months' imprisonment, and a fine of 3,000 francs; and M. Varlet de St. Philibert, the editor, to two months' imprisonment, and a fine of 2,000 francs, and both jointly in the costs. The hurricane in the night of the 10th did great damage in the environs of Valenciennes, Lille, and Calais. A letter from Granville says—" A dreadfful tempest, the most terrible within the memory of man, has caused the greatest disasters to our fishing, vessels, which were just ready to put to sea, having their passangers, their crews, and provisions on boaid • twenty or twenty-five of them having had their cables and Chains broken by the violence of the wind, ran foul of others that were in the road, and forced them to the shore. Five of these ships thus thrown on the rocks are entirely gone to pieces and lost, with their cargoes. Five others are aground on the oyster beds. Some others have been saved by the efforts and intrepedity of their crewo, and have returned into port, but with considerable damage. 6. The loss of our merchants is estimated at above 300,000 francs, and this sum will be doubled if the storm should return with the tide this evening, as is feared. The old port has suffered much. A great number of sailors are wounded, and many have perished. Three dead bodies have been picked up; but a great number of sailors are missing, for whom lively appre hensions are entertained. Nearly 3,000 persons are now employed for three quarters of a league along the coast, in saving the goods and picking up the wounded and the drowned. It is a horrible sight."— Constitutionnel.

The sins of Spain consist in a determination to appropriate to the use of the State those immense Church possessions which ser~•ed to feed in ignorance, in laziness, and in filth, to the scandal of honest men and good Catholics, broods of useless- monks and nuns, of whose oTerflowing wealth a continual stream was poured into the coffers of the Holy See. GOD tests the piety of a nation by its heart, but the Priest judges ,by the pocket. The deporable spiritual blindness of Spain lamented by the Holy Father, consists in an obstinate shutting of her eyes to the comeliness of e money-gOrged Priesthood. But even Priests are slow to derive wisdom from experience. The of the. late Papal Allocution, which actually consolidated the then tottering power of EUPARTERO, ought to have taught GREGORY XVI. the folly of promulgating a second. Yet this has not been. the 'case. The second Papal Allocu tion is, if possible, more offensive to the Spanish Govern ment than the first, and will, of course, provoke a corre sponding spirit of hostility. We have only room for the following extract from it:— . It is already well known in what state the affairs of religion are in Spain, and with what bitterness of soul we have been forced, for several years past, to lament the ecclesiastical vicis situdes of that nation, whereof the people, far from abandoning the holy precepts of thei r f a th ers , are s t rong l y attac h e d to the Orthodox Faith, whilst the clergy, for the greater part, courageously fight the battles of the Lord ; and whilst, also, almost all the prelates endeavour with their whole strength, to secure the safety of their own flocks, although those prelates are most miserably harassed, are in exile, and labouring under most pressing afflictions. Nevertheless, there are in that country a number of abandoned men who, crimi nally leagued with each other, and, like the waves of a boister ous ocean, venting forth their disordered thoughts, wage a most cruel war against Christ and his Saints. Having brought the greatest losses on the Catholic religion, they now attempt, in their impiety, to subvert it, could that but be effected. We, in the accomplishment of the duties of our ministry, raising our Apostolic voice, have not ceased mourning publicly the wounds inflicted on the church by the Government of Ma drid, and denouncing as null and void all those ordinances of the civil power which have been directed against the rights and laws of this church. We have, moreover, with every demon stration of grief, vehemently lamented the atrocious injuries and evils which have been inflicted on our venerable brethren, the Bishops of that kingdom, and on the sacred persons of the clergy of both orders; and we have seen, with sorrow, abomi tion set up in the holy place, and ecclesiastical property sa crilegiously robbed, sold, and turned over to the public treasury. At the same time, we did not omit to recal to memory the penalties and censures which the Apostolical constitutions and the Ecumenical councils pronounce, ipso facto against those who dare to commit such crimes. The blasphemy of describing the appropriation sif the monistical property of Spain by the Spanish Govern ment for national purposes, as a " war waged against CHRIST and his Saints" must shock every well-consti tuted mind. In Spain, where the priesthood have proved such a curse, it can only excite an universal feel ing of horror and.disgust.

In the Lords last night I.llCOrriThlttTeOn the Presbyterian Marriages' Bill recommended that all further proceedings on that Bill should be stayed till after the Judges return from Circuit, on account of another irregular marriage case having oc curred, on which a special verdict had been given, and which will probably be brought before their Lordships. Their Lord ship? inquiries into the subject, however, will be continued, though the progress of the Bill i s s t oppe d. Lords Brougham awl Campbell warned parties that it would be at their own peril if they took advantage of the late decision of the Judges. A short discussion took place about the instructions given by our Government to our representative at Madrid to support the French Envoy in his claim to present his despa' elms to the Young Queen in person, from which it appears that the truck ling of the Tories to old despotism has only obtained for them two or three insults. The country is not insulted, however, by what is done to Lord Aberdeen. Lord Brougham gave notice of a series of resolutions on an Income Tax, which he is to move this night in the House of L .

Mr. Ward moved his resolution against passing a Corn Bill till the House had inquired into the peculiar burdens on land, and supported his motion by an able speech full of valuable facts. He asked for a Committee to verify them. Colonel Wood opposed the motion, and found out that the expense of cultivation, which resolves itself altogether into the expense of labour, the price of which is mainly determined by the price of corn, is the justification of Corn-laws. This is most vicious circle, The landlords pass a law to keep up prices, and then allege their height on a justification of the law.

At the Nottingham Assizes on Saturday, Samuel Moore, aliqs John Jones, was tried for the murder of Mary Hallam on the 30th of Llecember. T he prisoner was a shoemaker, and it appeared from the evidence that he had committed the horrible deed with a shoemaker's awl, which was found by the side of the deceased, covered with blood. The Jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict of guilty, and the Judge, Lord Abinger, pronounced sentence of death. An inquest was held yesterday on the body of a male child, the illegimate offspring of :Farah Head, servant to Mr. Wool, of the Brixton-road.

SUDDEN D - EA7 -c li - OF MR. GEORGE CLARK, THE SCULPTOR. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT. The death of Mr. Clark, who was eminent in his profession, took place at Birmingham, in a very sudden manner, on Saturday morning last. from the Inquest held before Dr. Birt Uavies, ou the Monday following, James Newhould, the first witness examined, stated, that about half-past nine on the morning in que stion, while in th e s h op of M r. Burdett, who is a surgeon in New Hall-street, the deceased staggered down the steps of the surgery, and appeared very ill ; he sunk into an arm-chair; his head reclining on one side and his face ghastly. Witness called for a surgeon's assistance opposite, who proceeded to Weed him, but life was extinct. Mr. Burdett, surgeon, spoke to having seen him on the pre ceding Thursday, when he laboured under dyspepsia, and com plained of pain in the region of the stomach. lie considered death to have been occasioned by the rupture of one of the large blood-vessels of the heart. The Jury returned a verdict wsigning this as the cause of death, as also that the deceased "Died by the visitation of God." Mr. Clark resided in Toss er.street, Birmingham, and was in his 47th year. He has, we regi et to say, left behind a family of nine children who are now unprovided for. At the time of his death he was engaged in casting the leaves that were to form the foliage of the capital for the Nelson monument, in Trafal. gar-square, and hod finished the two first. He is best known by his statue of Major Cartwright in Burton-creseent. PHILHARMONIC CONCERT. The first of these admirable performances took place last night.

Mr. Secondary JAMES sat in Guildhall te-day. • Several undefended actions were taken:first. The opposed cams possessed no features of general interest. INSO LVENT CO URT-(T HIS DAY) A number of unopposed cues were taken durint , the early part of the morning, in the hearing of ullich not the slightest feature of general interest transpired. RE STA NSLEY. This case had been already before the Court, and adjourned for the:purpose r,f inserting the names of Messrs. Whitbread and Company, the brewers, who had bad various transactions to the amount of nearly 3,0001. w ith the insolvent, who was the proprietor of the Cloudesley Arms tavern. The amount of debts appearing in his schedule was con siderable, while any assets that might be available to his cre di'ors were comparatively trilling. He was arrested at the suit of the Secretary to the Equitable Gas Company, and shortly after , .7ards disposed of his interest in the Cloudesley Arms. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS (addressing Mr. Morrell, the in solvent's attorney) said that it appeared from the schedu!e that there 'had been tra nsac ti ons w i t h the Messrs. Whitbread, amoun.ing to nearly 3,000/., yet there had been no means takr n to procure the attendance of any person from that firm. He trusted Mr. Morrell would act more cautiously in future, when the interest of others were placed in his hands. Mr. Mor.-o:1 said the omission was entirely owing to the negligence of his clerk. Commissioner I - Immix—The consequences of such negligence always fall upon the Attorney. I understand you have already felt its effects, in the course pursued by this Court a short time back, and until I see mote attention I can not express any regret at the circumstance. The further hearing of the case mu.t stand adjourned until the attendance of some person on behalf of Messrs. Whitbread can be pro cured, and the special balance-sheet amended. - POLICE INTELLIGENCE GUILDHALL..--(THIS DAY.) THREATENING LETTRRS.— Richard Bates was placed at the bar, under the following circumstances :—A gentleman, re siding in Newgate-street, deposed that he received a letter of a most disgusting nature, stating that a report was in circulation in the Borough, respecting the character of the witness, and im puting to him an unnatural offence. The letter (which is unfit tor publication) went on to state, that if the witne!s would com municate with the writer, he would devise means for the sup pression of the report. In consequence of this letter, the witness sent for an Inspector of Police, and showed him the letter ; and he advised witness to answer it, which he did, and addressed it, as directed in the letter to be called for at the Post-office, High-street, Borough. The letter was left at the Post-office, and directions were given to the Postmaster to give the person who called for it into custody. Yesterday evening, about a quarter past seven o'clock, the witness was sent for by the Postmaster, and on his proceeding to High-street, Borough, he found the prisoner in custody. The man was then taken to the Station house. John Green, an assistant at the Post-office, High-street, Borough, deposed that the prisoner came last night and in quired for the letter in question, and witness said if he would wait a few minutes he should have it. Witness then sent the boy for a policeman, but he could not fin .t one. The prisoner said he would call again, and left the shop, but witness tollowed him and gave him into custody. The prisoner, in his defence, said that he knew nothing isbeut the letter addressed to the prosecutor, and he had been requested by Li per Sell to call at the Post-office and ask for a letter that was lying there. The policeman who took the prisoner into custody stated that the prisoner had been searched, and several letters of the same nature as those received by the prosecutor were found upon him.—The prisoner was remanded till to-morrow. John Cook was placed at the bar, charged with picking the pockets of John Anderson, under the following circumstances. The prosecutor stated that he lived in Hemlock -court, Cary street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, and the prisoner was a resident in the same house. Last night he was in a public-house in Drury-lane, and he saw the prisoner there, and recog nising each other they entered into conversation. Shortly afterwards a friend of the prisoner came in, and they all left the house together. When they got into Lincoln's Inn fields the strange gentleman proposed that they should take a cab and ride as far as the Strand, which proposition was acceded to. On their arrival in the Strand the stranger got out of the cab and disappeared, and on the cabman requesting the amount of his fare, the pri soner said he had no money about him), and the prosecutor was obliged to pay the cab hire. The suspicions of the prosecutor were by this time aroused, and they prompted him to feel in his pockets ' and he then discovered that hi s money had been extracted, together with his pocket. handker chief and pocket-book, containing memoranda and duplicates. On further examination he found that a large brooch he usu ally wore in his cravat had also disappeared. The witness said he was perfectly sober. He immediately gave the prisoner into custody. _ _ 'The prisimer, in his defence, said that he was invited by the prosecutor to take a ride in the cab, and he had no idea that he was to pay for it. The robbery he knew nothing about. He was remanded till Saturday, to obtain further evidence. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Five young women, named Jane Knight, Ellen Ealing, Phothe Baldwin, Ellen Ralph, and Mary Ilorrinton, were charged with being disorderly arid creating a disturbance in the workhouse of St. George's in the Fields. ' Mr. Buckstone, the master of the workhouse, the rubicun dity of whose vitage has not a whit decreased since we had the pleasure of last seeing him at this Court, stated the charge with a great deal of digni'y and complacency. He said that on Sunday morning in chapel, but before the commencement of the sermon, the prisoners at the bar, who vos always wery refractory, commenced singing a song respecting of the earth quake; after the service was over they tore up the pavement stones in the yard, and threw them at the watchman; the pri soner Ealing, moreover, excited the other girls to their work of destruction by clapping her hands, and saying " Go it my girls, that's your sort." Airs. Sarah Penny, the matron of " the house," proved the statement relative to the singing in chapel. A decrepid old man, dressed in the workhouse garb, who was denominated the watchman, stated that Jane Knight said she would smash him, if he went nigh her or by her ; she swore she would smash him to pieces, and demolage him. The other girls also, with the exception of Baldwin, took up stones and threw at him, from one of which he received a severe blow on the temple. Baldwin advised the girls not to throw stones at him, and said it was a shame to hurt the old man. Richard Provu, an inmate of the workhouse, corroborated the statement of the watchman, and said he recognised Knight and Ralph as being particularly active. _ _ 13uck;tone stated that Baldwin, Ralph, and Ealing had all been in prison before fur disorderly conduct. The prisoners were then called on for their defence, and as they all said something, we present our readers with their statements. Mary Horrinton said—Please yer wertship, hafter chapel we vos a playing at hop-scotch, vich I had a bit o' brick and made a cross in one of the beds, the hold man cums hop yer wert ship, and Le says you d—d b—h if you don't be hoff, l'll cut you in two vith the stick, vich he made no more ado but he up vith the stick and cut me and the other gals hover the hams. Jane Knight, who laboured under a slight defect in her speech, plunged at once is medics res, and said he hit me over the h-a-arms and I hit him on the heed, and Mr. Prous called me a b—y w—e. Besides, they d-d-don't give me no t-tea and sugar, vich I'm two-and tw-tw -twenty and is ti-ti-tied to. Mr. Buzkstone explained that thove who were above 21 were allowed tea and sugar, tot he had the power to stop their allowance if they behaved improperly. Ellen Ealing said, I never throwed a stone. Ellen Ralph said, 1 only eaved one stone, and that didn't touch the old man, it fell just by his feet ; Sal Higgleton was the worst, and she aint brought up at all. He tells my friends that rye boon to prison, and hinders me from going out and getting a place, vich I might easily do. Phoebe Baldwin, who was in vain endeavouring to draw out a tear, said in a drawling tone of voice, interspersed with fre quent sobs—Please yer Wership (sob), I never heaved a stone at all (sob). I said I had a father of my own, and should not like him to be thrown stenes at (sob). Oh, yer Wership (sob), do look over it this time, and it shall never occur again • in deed it shan't (sob). Th e master a l ways fi xes on me, I didn't know what for, and is always telling me I shall go to prison.— (Sob, soh, till interrupted by the gaoler. ) Mr. HALL said the conduct of the prisoners was most scan dalous ; and having given to each a severe admonition, sen tenced them as follows :—Jane Knight, to be imprsoned six weeks; Ealing and Ralph, each to be imprisoned one month, Horrinton, twenty-one days, and Baldwin, ten days, in the House of Correction. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (TIHS DAY.) EMBEZZLEMENT BY A FEMALE. AT TILE PANTHEON BAZA A It. —Fanny Vernon, a young female of respectable and prepossessing appearance, was committed to take her trial at the ensuing Sittings of the Central Criminal Court, charged with feloniously embezzling and secreting certain sums of money, received, by her for and on account of Mrs. Elila Essex, her employer. It appeared that the prosecutrix bad a stand in the Pantheon Bazaar, and that the prisoner had been- in her employ for between eight and nine months, and such entire confidence was placed in her integrity, that the sole management of the business was at intervals entrusted to her. flow. ever, circumstance's arose which threw suspicion on her, and which ult'mately led to the detection of her haring on Saturday last received two sums of 15e. each, and on 'Monday the sum of 45., in payment for articles pur chased at the counter, and of which she had rendered no ac count to the prosecutrix. The extent to which she may have carried this system of peculation cannot be ascertained, as the pro'secutrix kept no account of her stock. The prisonei., on her knees, and crying bitterly, most ear nestly implored for mercy. The prosecutrix said she had no vindictive feeling against her, but she thought it her duty to bring this case forward as a warning to others. The prisoner had been treated by her with great kindness. Mr. 111..wrsv said it was a case that precluded leniency. The prisoner had most infamously abused the confidence re posed in her, and proved herself to be the most dangerous, be cause secret, enemy of her best friend. UNION-HALL—.(THIS DAY.) Edward Cashman, a man with a severe wound on his head, from a blow of a policeman's staff, was charged with breaking into the premises of Air. Passenger, glass-manufacturer, in Union.street. Mr. Passenger stated, that having had information that the premises were to he broken into, he sat up all the previous night with the policeman to watch for the burglars. At three o'clock in the morning the prisoner and another man were seen to get over the gate at the rear of the premise's, and began un packing a crate containing decanters, for removal. The police= man rushed forward to secure the men; both of whom made a desperate resls , ance, and before , the prisoner was taken it was found necessary to use a staff, with which he was struck over the head, and knocked down.— The other man escaped, but being well known he will soon. be in custody. The prisoner's defence was that he got over. the wall (seven feet high) for a necessary purpose.—He was remanded. The railway cuttings are proceeding fast both east and west of Ashford, and extensive preparations are being made for carrying on the works with all possible speed. A great many men are at present in employ, which number is to be considerably augmented as the spring advances.— Canter bury Journal. THE TORY INCOME TAX• MONEY and.COMMERCIAT.. NEWS.

In looking carefully over the new duties, the benefit to be conferred upon the working classeS generally by the reduction in the rates on provisions becomes more apparent. It is much to be regretted that some alteration has not been made in the duty on sugar ; but the state of the revenue, say the advocates for a high duty, must be borne in mind, and the probability that during the present year the price will be greatly toweled, owing to the increased importation both' from the East and West Indies. In 1837, the quantity received from Calcutta was 296,679 cwt., and in 1841 it was 1039,249 cwt., with every prospect of a gradual improvement as the works become more extended, which is being done every successive year; so that it may be expected that but. 'a short time will elapse When the price of our own Colonial sugar in bond will not be above that of foreign: It has been calculated that, when the new scale comes into operation, the price of meat will be permanently reduced at least twopence per pound, which will be an immense difference to the consumption of the community, since it is to apply to - saltek as well as to fresh, and the rapidity of steam communic ition being such as toS allow the importation of the latter in good condition, under tolerably favourable weather. The duties upon vegetables are also re duced to a more nominal rate, namely, twopence per hundred Weight upon potatoes, and five per Cent, upon the value of most of the other descriptions. Great anxiety is expressed, that no time should be lost in bringing these beneficial changes into play. The income. tax still continues to be rather unpalatable, but the principle of paying a direct, instead' of an indirect amount, is admitted to be correct, althoUgh the .commencement of ,the amount is objected to, as well as the absence of . a graduated scale, which it is considered would yield a greater suet to the Exchequer, as well as relieve a large portion of those who will be material sufferers by the present plan: There are no foreign arrivals beyond the remainder of the India mail, via Falmouth. , „ PRICES OF SHARES TUTS DAY AT ONE.

In the Share Market scarcely anything has been done, but the market is firm. The only transactions have been Great Western Fifths at 101; Manchester and Birmingham, 28; New North Midland, 35 ; Brighton, 3,4 35g ; and Green wich, 61. Money is easy in the English Stock Exchange at 3 per cent., and varies on the Foreign from 5 to 7 per cent. according to the nature of the security. Private letters from Manchester state that no improvement has taken place in trade there. • Yarns are again lower in price, and it is snuch feared that they :have not seen their worst. For calicoes, &e., there has been mote demand, but still no profit is left to the manufacturer. From the recent accounts from America, great expectations are raised that when the spring trade there becomes fully opened, that business in our manufacturing districts will revive in conse quence of orders from that country. The intelligence from India and South America preclude any hepe from those quar ters, in consequence of the accumulated , unsold Stocks, which are chiefly held on manufacturer's account. ----- LLOYD'S SHIPPING--(THIS DAY.)

LEIGH, MARCH 12.—As it was naturally supposed Chat. va rious disasters must have occurred to the shipping in' the Chan nel, the Lydia, of Leigh, manned by six of the fishermen of that plade, went off early on Thursday morning, on the look out, so that they might be ready to render assistance if re quired. At daybreak they descried a schooner in the South Tide with a signal of distress flying, on which four of them took to the small boat, went on board her, .and assisted at the pumps. It seems, however, that finding she gained upon them fast., they set the small.sails, the tide making and it blowing hard, with the intention of running her upon the Southend shore. They appeared to be succeeding in their object; but when within about five minutes sail of snalluw water, the ves sel gave a dreadful lurch head foremost, arid went down, carry ing, with her the small boat. The four men who had gone to her a:ststanee, and five persons who bad keen seen on board, perished ; for though tho Lydia had kept as close as possible, yet, owing to the gale, she was to the leeward, and though the two men on board could see and hear them, they were totally unable to render any assistance. The names of the Leigh men drowned were—Charles Brady, aged 30, leaving two children, and his wife near her confinement; Robert Noaks, aged 24, a wife and one child ; Henry Wade, 17, single man ; and Fre derick Fairhead, aged 13. The distressing affair has naturally excited a feeling of deep melancholy in the town. The divers have since been down, and ascertained that the name of the vessel is the Brisk, of London, Captain Bassam, coal laden..— Essex Herald. THE SPITALFIELDS WEAVERS' BALL.—We un derstand her Majesty has been pleaied, to appoint Thursday, the 26th of May, for th e gran d f anc y d re s s • ball in aid of the silk trade, which was deferred last year until this season. The ball will take place at her Majesty's Theatre, as was originally arranged, under the highest patronage. Iler Majesty, as might be supposed, evinces the warmest interest in the forth coming ball for the benefit of abranch of ourhome trad e w hi c h has, for some years past, been in a most depressed state. A paragraph, headed " Unfounded charge of de fault at the Treasury," appeared in the morning papers of Tuesday, copied from the Globe. It had reference to the case of Mr. Perkins, ca hier in the office of Paymaster of Civil Ser vices, which was noticed in the last number of th e Ob server. We sincerely wish that the injudicious, but, doubtless, friendly meddler, who wrote the paragraph in the Globe,' had not compelled us to return to this subject, and, in vindication of our own veracity, to state that the charge is not on ly not ''un founded." but unfortunately founded on fact. The fri(nds of this public officer would have acted the wiser part had they confined themselves to such extenuating circumstances as the case could admit of, instead of denouncing as " unfounded " a charge of malversation of office, which nab n Aoriously true, Observer.

These are our own sentiments; t h ey isesl also Lord Brougham's ; nor is it probable that Sir Roberto far, would materially dissent fetim them. And .having Pteetails, all that remains is matter of detail. In regard to tl , e' e , , , ra i wieare ready to confess that much may be said far s ,`.`„ te ,l in the proposed emendations of Lord Brougham.. il i l ii st the system o are our yesterday's paper, we do not think it Just or wiie sweat of produce of mere labour—the hard-earned fruit of t he , te a to the brow--or the fatigue o f th e m i n d , s h ou ld be 011) •)%sich the same h e avy d e d uct i ons as the rental or divides f th eir fall witheut effort or th oug h t i nto the hands ° se a in owners. Those who by their exertions are still eng a ll ees e, augmenting the resources, or ministering to the conv en or the of their country and their countrymen—lhe merchant or or manufacturer, the lawyer or the clergyman, the 14) st i e n ia the public employee —have all a claim to some reta x ' sses ly their favour beyond what is possessed by those who are ra. hy enjoying the wealth which has been accumulated far them their • their predecessors—who are reposing on the labours l sancestors—enforcing on the public the claiths which tlje ts e bours (justly indeed) acquired for them. And again, % s al • disposed to allow, that not the amount only of a man's o il to income, but the certainty and lengtk of its duration, sh. °° te be taken into account in fixing the rate of impost which is a le levied upon it. It is necessary for England to n n , an unusual exertion, and for all according to thei r „ /n r aing to contribute to it.

I s not t h e mean i ng o f the sent tax under the p resen t c i rc u mstances this—t h a t Ine t oo charged with it according to their wealth ? And are these men equally wealthV? HEttAL . D.—Sir Robert Peel's budget is the poor 1 ' 1 :0 budget ; but though it excludes poverty and mere 1 1110° 1:bier taxation, it has the rare merit of compensating the e,l o e, for the demand which it makes on their greater abo";, tbe If it be somewhat i nqu i s it or i a l , its inquiries are not the cottages, the garrets, or the cellars, or into the pockets , poor, but into the shops, the coun ti ng -h ouses, an d the dos accounts of the richer. We by no means assert that the t e e posal is perfect; on the contrary, we have indicated 'a one believe to be a substantial anti most important defect, 3' t in° which, if Government would yet remedy by the inta" ° , t 01 of a graduated scale of duties, according to the anilis ' income, w .old remove all opposition to it by lesseat n e a re amount of contribution to be paid by those whose inceol e ' co p• small, and to wh om th e very payment of the tax is most I " ,t, o f venient, however amply i t b e re p a id b y the dimin i she d c° living. Should, however, Sir Robert Peel feel that the Parli a ' e r „,s ary obstacles to s u ch an amen d ment of the scheme are i'or. perable, then we would suggest t h at t h e wide marg in plus-500,0001. a year—which the anticipated proceeds "ti n e, fiscal propositions will leave at the disposal of the eae i cu ,ascl o should induce him t o ra i se t h e max i mum of income ,grind from trade and pr o f ess i on to t h e same amount as that e:ot from the profit s o f f arm i ng — v i z., 3001. a year—or t° r a t „ A the tax levied on th a t d escr i pt i on of income from 7d■ t ° in the pound. a POST.—Here the unanimity ends. The objections a' r o e ts l' e less extensi ve th an l oud aga i nst the taxation of mere iticeyrs which is acquired as the remuneration of indnstrPo l, though it exceed 1501. a year. We do not deny that ' . . - v aa may very plausibly be urged against this taxation, and ''‘' ne rr it would be very easy to b r i ng forward cases in which the ea tion of such a tax must be a considerable hardship. 1" 4111 ,4- , have to suggest, lowever, is, that considerate persons be aeady to reject the plan on account of those inst 3° ,:uo s severity . of operation, until they have taken into a c 'ess the exigencies of the State, and whether it 'b e .sicll sible to frame any practicable scheme of taxation i t be will not be liable to the same or a similar objection. fa i r er , longs to the very na t ure o f an i ncome tax that, while it ue°' than any other in taking a proportionate part of the rere ri b isilf each individual to m a k e u p t h e revenue of the State, it el' fro° more palpably than any other the hardships which an d is e ee se taxing mere comp e te ncy as much (i n proportion) as an'usJe: It is because this i s so o b v i ous that the outcry isquil.
