The county meeting, held at Lincoln, on Monday, tamed out something more than a farce. The Tory landlords had called upon the High Sheriff to convene a meeting to petition the House of Commons against the tariff, and more particularly that part of it by which cattle, salt beef, potatoes, and other provisions are to be admitted at a moderate duty. A motion to that effect was put, the farmers and landowners shouting, no doubt at the top of their voices, " Down with the tariff," "No foreign cattle," " No Dutch beef," and after some noisy discussion it was carried, according to one account, unanimously ; but the subsequent proceedings would lead us to infer that the point was doubtful. The High Sheriff belie% iog the object of the meeting had been- accom plisheti, was about to retire in peace, but other parties interes'ed in the matter, put in their claims to be heard ; the high functionary resisted as that formed no . ) f the contract, and declared the meeting dis solved. 'The good people of Lincoln thinking it riot • fair that justice should be done only to one cl!,ss, appointed another chairman; moved resolutions against the income tax, and carried them by acclamation. The conduct of the landlords on this occasion, selfish as it is in the extreme, can excite no surprise, for it is only a repetition of their claims to throw .off the burdens -on land, to tax the rest of the community for the purpose of raising their rents, and to control the Legislature when ever it shows a disposition to administer even the semb lance of justice t 3 the people. This game will be played throughout the agricultural districts gene- rally, . the Tory representatives will be called upon to resist the tariff or resign ; and when it comes to be discussed, motion upon motion will be made to carve it to the taste of such men as the Duke of BUCKINGHAM and Mr. CHRISTOPHER. We shall then see of what stuff Sir ROBERT PEEL is made. He has emphatically announced that he will suffer no im portant modification to be made either of the income tax or the tariff, and that the fate of his Ministry de -I,,.nds on the result. He cannot escape from this en gagement, and the great body of his supporters, there fore, will have the choice of swallowing the bitter pill, or rejecting their leader. They are in (iced in a sad dilemma. Neither Lord STANLEY nor toy other member of the Cabinet can come to their re lief; for all are pledged to the measures. The Duke of BUCKINGHAM, the " farmers' friend," no doubt would wil- part 'Jingly lead them to battle, but unfortunately be can form no staff fit to carry on operations, and they must there f,:ere submit to their hard lot. The Common Council of the City of London has voted an addreis to our gracious SOVEREIGN, praying her MA JESTY, for reasons stated in resolutions of that Court passed yesterday, to refuse her sanction to any law to tax article: ; of food, or to restrict the free importation of such articles into this country. The Court of Common Council. has been culpably tardy in coming forward to set an example to the country. We conceive the proper time for such an address to have been when Sir ROBERT PEEL came forward to insult the starving poor of Eng land and Scotland with his new sliding scale humbug. On no former occasion, when the best interests of the nation were at stake, have we have had such reason to complain of the lukewarmne3s of the citizens of London, a.s since Sir IZ. PEEL began to develop° his plans for in creasing the general distress by increasing the national taxation. The Court of Common Council very properly and truly affirms, in its second resolution, that in order to apply a permanent and sufficient remedy to the ex tensive and deep-rooted distress •of the manufacturing and labouring classes of the community, it is essentially necessary to abolish all laws which restrict the importa tion of food. But why was not such an affirmation made _sooner ? What was the Liberal party in the City about, that it could not stir before the House of Commons was tricked into the adoption of the principle of an income tax in time of peace ? The Press has nobly done its duty, and has just reason to complain of the inadequate way in which it has been !ipported. No doubt there will be a vast cutcry among mercantile classes when the collectors make their appearance to levy the obnoxious impost, but the noisiest individuals are those with whom the Press can have the least sympathy. As the citizens of London will suffer more from the operation of the financial and commercial plans of the Tory Government than any other class in the kingdom, they had better, if they stir at- all, stir in real earnest In no part of the tingdOm can a tax upon income operate so injuriously upon public and private credit as within the London bills- of mortality. They have wasted their best opportunities, and to be heard ef fectually have now not a moment to lose. Since Sir PEEL has declared that he will stand or fall by his Corn Bill, to compel the Parliament to abolish all restrictions upon the importation of - food, would be to get rid of the income tax. Be then the abolition of all import dudes upon food the watchword of the Libe beral party in London. They are persuaded that no other measure will permanently and effectually remove the pablic distress, and so likewise are we. It is, therefore, their bounden duty, as it is ours, to leave ❑o means untried for effecting so desirable a measure. The debate in the French C hamber of Peers on the Secret Service Bill, was one of the most animated which has taken place in that assembly since th 3 opening of the bession. Upon no other occasion were the acts of the Government so severely criticised. Viscount DIIBOU CWAGE censured the Minister of the Interior for per mitting the most sacred mysteries of religion to be openly ridiculed on the stage, and complained that clerical ha bits were worn by actors for the express purpose of ren dering the clergy public objects of contempt. Admitting the entire propriety of placing as few restrictions upon writers for the stage as possible, and fully persuaded that a theatre is capable of being made one of the finest national schools in the world, •we quite agree with M. DUBOUCHAGE that the utmost vigilance is necessary to prevent it from degenerating into a sink of immorality and irreligion. Our own stage is not so pure as to war rant a severe criticism upon that of our neighbours, but in this respect we neither outrage the national religion, nor the national sense of decency, to the extent that is permitted in Paris. The next Peer who attacked the Government was the Marquis DE Botssr D'ANGLAS. He complained first of the Ministerial 'system of swamping the Peerage by new creations of the tools of Government; but he was met with a shout from the President about infringing the Royal prerogative. The Noble Marquis next referred to the Spanish question,' and in the coarsest language denounced ESPARTERO as an intentional regicide. He was followed by Count DE MONTALEMUERT, who said that a whole session had passed, during which the Mi nistry had really accomplished nothing. The sugar question ; the Belgian commercial treaty; the, railroads, of which bits of odds and ends only were proposed ; the qaestion of liberty of public instruction ; the recruit•• meat of the army ; and the right of search question —everything, in short, was postponed, to the great injury of the nation. He next adverted to Spain, and aburf d the REGENT, whom he denounced as the enemy of Fry nee. The friends of France were CHRISTINA and hf r pn.rtizans, and he blamed the Ministry for not more (penly supporting them. The Chamber listened with considerable impatience to the attacks made upon the Spanish Government. But by far the most remarkable of the speeches made was that of the Duke DE DREUX BREZE, a Royalist Peer, complaining of the despotic tone Of Ministers since the rising of the fortifications of Paris. The principles of the Constitution were, he said, set aside, and the will of individuals made the rule for the guidance of the Government. Means were resorted to for neutralizing the Parliamentary opposition, to which he should not advert ; but it was quite clear to them all that Ministers now dictated their plans to the Chambers. T Press was in a greater state of thraldom than when t .e Censorship existed, and the completion of the bar ricades would be the signal for the extinction of the last spark of its remaining liberty. We give the conclusion of the Noble Duke's Speech in his own emphatic ex pressions, as dearly as a translation can preserve them : I do not flatter myself, Gentlemen, that my feeble voice can stop the Government in the downward course it has taken . There are times in which men of conviction have no other me ans but by barren me ans of testifying their love for their country, warnings. It is this part I fill to-day, desirous as I am, if not of developing, at least of indicating the truth at the moment when a conspiracy seems formed to stifle it. A sincere friend of liberty, under whose banner I placed myself at the commence ment of my political career, M. de Martignac, exclaimed, in 1329. with mournful accents, " We are proceeding to anarchy." I will say, with an equal conviction, in presence of all that • passes around us, and of the bastilles which are rising up, " Take., care that we are not proceeding to despotism, and through it to anarchy."—(Great agitation.) And well might the Chamber be agitated. It is the language of prophecy—language which we repeated in varied terms, day after day, during the period the Forth ficatious Bill was before the Chambers. But save in the columns of the Commerce it found no echo in France! Even the Republicans, for whose extinction the walls were proposed, heard only in our warnings the prompt ings of our fears. How ridiculous ! Once reduced to bear the yoke of despotism, France can be no longer an ob ject of terror to any country. She is powerful for good or evil only while she is free. Did we dread France, and wish to weaken her, we would advance millions to embastile Paris. Instead of one wall round the capital, we would cry out for five, each thicker than the wall of China, and a thousand times as well defended. But the Noble Duke's prophetic -warning did not long agitate the Chamber. The Minister of the Interior rose, and expressed pro found astonishment that any one should complain of restrictions being placed upon the freedom of the Press, when it was known that the Press of France was free even to licentiousness. The Government was the guardian of the Press, and never interfered but to cherish it ! He next*. referred, with the same disregard Of truth, and unblushing assu rance, to the other points in the Duke's prophetic speech, and was responded to by a vote of the Chamber, adopt ing the Secret Service Bill by an immense majority. , The following extracts from the French Journals of Monday include all the general news contained in them of any interest : A letter from Amsterdam, 3d April, states that M. Van Holt has began his Ministerial career with a most important measure, viz. a new organisation of the Council of Ministers. The Staats publishes a Royal Ordinance of the following tenor : " We, William, &c. &c. " Considering that it is necessary that beads of the Minis terial department should previously deliberate on all projects of law, and all objects relative to political interests, in order to introduce unity and harmony into all the branches of the ad ministration, .6 We have resolved— " 1. A Council of Ministers shall beheld to examine together all the above-mentioned subjects. "2. The Council of Ministers is composed of all the beads of the Ministerial departments." The other articles enter into various details. From Galignani's Messenger we find the following ridicu lous statement gra i rely given this morning in the leading co lumns of the National, and quote it as a specimen of tne ab surdities which are occasionally put forth by part of the Paris press upon English affairs. Of the attention due to such ar rant nonsense our readers u ill be able to judge when we re mind them that the " Pretre dissident," talked of by the Na tional, was no other than his Grace the Archbishop of Canter bury himself, who performed the baptismal ceremony, assisted by the Lord Bishop of London, and other heads of the English Protestant Church. We can assure the National that the op position it speaks of would be thought quite as droll in England as in France:— " The Government of Queen Victoria, and even her dynasty, have, at this moment, to contend against a kind of opposition which was unexpected, and which, in France, would appear exceedingly droll. The greater part of the Anglican clergy pre tend that the young Prince of 'Wales having been baptised by a Dissenting Minister (pretre dissident) is therefore incapable of ever becoming King of England. In England, the head of the State is at the same time head of the Church, and the clergy, therefore, think that the National Church would lose its purity, and even be destroyed, if at the head of its hierarchy were to he paced a Prince wlio had not received orthodox bap tism. The Bishop of London and his clergy have already pro tested against the legitimacy of the succe:sion of the Prince of Wales to the throne. The Bishop of Winchester has followed the example, and not a single clergyman of his diocese has failed to sign his protest. The whole University of Oxford has expressed itself in the same way, and it is announced that the Bishop of Exeter is earnestly and successfully getting up a similar demonstration." The English Journals have not arrived. The Spanish Chamber of Deputies resumed its legislative operation on the 28th of March. M. Escorial moved that they should begin by discussing the Budgets of the several Mi nisterial departments separately, since the Report of the Com mittee on the General Budget is not ready. The Ministers having supported this motion, it was carried by a majo:ity of 80 to 40. _ _ The Courrier of Lyons, of the 2d says—" When we spoke of the fetes which were to take place at Tunis on occasion of the celebration of the marriage of the Duke of Savoy, we said an amnesty was spoken of, but without stating anything positively on the subject. To-day our private letters enable us to an— nounce the good news as certain. They say, a full and entire atnnesty will be granted to the persons proscribed in 1821 and 1831. On the announcement of this wise measure the people of Turin loudly expressed their feelings, and his Majesty Charter Albert is said to have been psOlicly congratulated by all classes of society.. " We - lA:eve that this act of sound and wise policy will be soon officially published." It is to be hoped that the amnesty will be extended to politi cal emigrants from 1831 to the present time.— Commerce. DUTCH FU N 113.—ASISTVIDA161, APRIL 4. None. 11111 s. Actual Dabt.

After Lord Winchilsea, Mr. Chaplin, and otheri had been grimacing and squabbling En- four hours, the Hon. Mr. Clifford stepped forward and proposed a strong , resolution, condemnatory of the income tax. The Hign Slfpriff refused to put it, saying it was not part of the reqiiiSition. The meeting became uproarious, and the High Sheriff' declared it dissolved. A vote of thanks to the High Sheriff was refused, and groans were returned instead. The Right Hon. the Earl of Yarborough was then called to the chair, and the tion of Mr. Clifford (brother to Lord Clifilfrti) was carried with unanimous acclamation. All the dull mo notony of the meeting vanished in an instant, and Com mittees were fOrmed to send round the petitions to all parts of the county for signature. OVERLAND ROUTES.—Messrs. Allen anti Co., of Lead enhall-street, Publishers to the East India Company, have just brbught out a very useful Map of the Overland Routes between England and India, both by the Red Sea and the Persian G ulf. On the same sheet also are laid down, on an enlarged scale, the routes between London and Marseilles, between the Mediterranean and the lied Sea, and between the Mediterranean, Black Sea, and the Persian Gulf. They have been drawn and engraved by Mr. J. Walker, and are finished in excellent style. The Voyage to India round the Cape of Good Hope is also distinctly laid down. To persons about to perform the journey, or interested in Steam Communication with India, this Map is essentially valuable. Her Majesty held an investiture of the Most Honour able Military Order of the Bath, this afternoon, at Buck ingham Palace. His Royal highness the Duke of Sussex, Grand Master of the Order, attended. PROTEST AGAINST THE INCOME TAX. BY A GENTLEMAN OF TWO HUNDRED A YEAR AND TWELVE SMALL CHILDREN. DISSENTIENT :-Ist, Because, if I am compelled to pay the Income-tax, some of my tradesmen must go unpaid, to which I should not have the slightest objection, provided they had none ; but on consulting them on the subject, 1 find, to my inexpressible dis gust and astonishment, that they are unanimous in their determination to be paid to the last farthing. 2.—Because, if the Income-tax be levied on me, it is very clear that I cannot pay the church-rates; and the clergyman of the parish assures me that the non payment of Mother Church's dues, is the very worst species of blasphemy which a respectable Christian can be guilty of, and will shut me out from salvation for ever. a—Because having twelve small children, and being in expectation of another, which will shortly be forthcoming among the " novelties of the season," it is evident that those children must be provided with clothes suited to their respective ages`; and as, one pair of corduroy breeches is the allowance I make annually to the boys, they must (if the tax on my slender income be persisted in) go without breeches altogether, which will inflict a grievous shock on the morals of my neighbourhood, who have an instinctive disrelish of the Highland fashion, where to be non breeched is the rule, and to be breeched the exception. 4. Because, in the event of my giving way to my parental sensibilities, and allowing the boys to con tinue their corduroys as usual, I must then go with out breeches myself, which, at this inclement period of the year, and in the windy region in which I am located, will be attended with serious inconvenience, besides subjecting me to the tender mercies of the police, and peradventure to a month at the treadmill— to say nothing of the probability of the old maid who lives opposite me being thrown into strong hysterics. 5. Because my income being barely such as to enable me to make both ends meet at the end 'of the year, if three per cent. be levied on it, my children must be put instantly on short commons, in which case my eldest son, who is remarkable for his preco cious appetite, will very probably levant with a guar tern loaf from a baker's shop, and thereby saddle the country with the expenses of a prosecution at the Old Bailey for felony. 6. Because, even if the duty on foreign beef be re duced, it will not compensate me for the income tax, inasmuch as I am a genuine John Bull, and hate every thing foreign ; besides, Colonel Sibthorp proved to my satisfaction in Parliament last night, that if I eat a Dutch rump-steak (unless, indeed, I cut it from the hind-quarters of the Dutchman himself) I shall in fallibly be poisoned—to which I beg respectfully to state that I entertain an invincible repugnance. 7.—Because the Income-tax will reduce me to the condition of an Epic poet, and eventually cause me to be shut up in a workhouse, and dieted on horse-leg soup, and one pound of boiled cat's-meat daily. B.—Because, when the tax-gatherer comes up the street to levy his three per cent., I am apprehensive that, in the indignant paroxysm of the moment, I may be tempted to pick him off at a long shot with a blun-. derbuss, which will greatly wound my conscience, and do him an irreparable injury. For these, and other reasons too numerous to men tion, I beg to enter my most decided Protest against the Incoine_t ax . .(Signekl,) NORTIBIER FIT Z-EIISTACE SNOOKS.

The Committee on the French Budget has terminated its deliberations on the War and Marine Departments. The effective force of the army was adopted, as proposed by the Ministry, namely 344,000 men, not including 160,000 belong ing to the reserve, and 84,238 horses. The reductions intro duced by the Committee affect merely secondary arrangements. The statistical work of the Crown Prince of Sweden, which has lately been published, contains the following com parative scale of capital punishments in different countries.

The Princess de Canino and Musignano, the wife of the eldest son of the late Lucien Bonaparte, was safely delivered at Florence, on the 12th ult., of a daughter, who has been chris tened by the Archbishop, the King and Queen of Sardinia standing as sponsors by their proxy the Count de Carrega, Charge d'Affaires. The names of the infant Princess ere Maria Theresa Albertina. A letter from Rome of 22. d ult. says :—" For some time East nocturnal attacks have been very frequent here. An nglishman, who was menaced by an assassin, fired at him, and blew out his brains. The police have not taken any steps against the Englishman, but have advised him, for his own security, to quit the city. Akw days ago, the palace of the wealthy Cardinal Del Drago was plundered in the middle of the day of a large sum of money, and a quantity of jewels, amongst whin was a crucifix in diamonds valued at 20,000 crowns." PILIMILIATAENTII.2.3. The Clerk of the Crown having amended the return for Weymouth, Messrs. Bernal and Christie last night took the oaths and their seats. • The Southwark Improvement Bill (No. 2) was postponed after a division. _ . Several petitions were presented against parts of the tariff, and one of then) was from liquorice growers about Pontefract, who have obtained a vested right in a restriction on the importation of foreign liquorice by an exacted duty. Air. Williams gave notice of a motion to apply the sliding scale to public incomes, and to subject real property to the le gacy duty. Mr. Manners Sutton obtained leave to bring in a Bill to .continue for a limited , term the General Turnpike Acts, and provide for the better regulation of turnpike trusts - in England and Wales. Lord Eliot obtained leave to bring in a Bill to regulate fisheries in Ireland, and Sir V. Blake obtained leave for a Bill to regulate admission to the bar in Ireland. On the motion of Lord-Ingestrie, a return was ordered of Sir Samuel Bentham's plan for a floating breakwater, which was invented in 1811, in order to enable the House to judge of a Bill now in progress for establishing a floating breakwater on Captain Taylor's principle. The House went into Committee on the Corn-keeping-out- Bill, and was occupied with it for the remainder of the even ing. No alterations of importance were made, the Committee having rejected, by considerable majorities, amendments pro posed-by Lord Worsley, Mr. Childers, and others. The Bill was reported, and the Report ordered to be received this day. Pocr Colonel Sibthorp was most unkindly treated by his friends. He moved that the duties should be paid on impor tation, not on taking the corn out of bond, and on calling for a division, Colonel Sibthorp, says the Votes, " was appointed one of the tellers for the Yeas, but there being no other Mem ber to be a second teller for the Yeas," the poor Colonel could not even force on a division, and the " Chairman declared that the Noes had it." Not one friend in the whole 658 Members could give the worthy, not rieux, moustache even the tempo ran support of crying Aye with him. Poor Sibby ! the House adjourned at a Quarter past One o'Clock. PUBIAC oPIMION. The Post has an article on the subject of the disastrous pro ceedings in Cabool, wherein it observes :—" General Elphiu. stone seems to have acted like a man far more anxious to get away from a pressing danger than to confront it— a very good sort of character, perhaps, for the ordinary occurrences of iiie, but a very bad sort of character for a leader in perilous cir cumstances. When danger is at a distance, it i 3 wise policy to keep it off if you can ; whon it presses, valour is the only wisdom : turn upon it, fight with it, die in the struggle, if so it please Providence to decide : but make the enemy respect you, even if he conquer. As for General Elphinstone and his army, he led them away from danger into death. instead of making a manly strit,gg,e where it might have been made with some effect, he took them where such a struggle could not be made with even the remotest chance of success." The Chronicle expresses itself in the following terms, on the subject of the income tax :—" The income tax, properly 'so called, is to be enacted exclusively for those who are beyond the sacred pale of agriculture. As to recipients of small in comes, earned by indu4ry, this injustice is a very f,:ut atrocity. What and where are the profits of salaried -employes who are paid from 1501. to 3001. per annum? The very word, as ap plied to them, is an absurdity. It must, at least, be so, inthe event of their having families dependent upon them kir sup port. A few pounds in a saving? bank'may, probably, re present all that the most careful can annually realise as profits. By close economy, they may, perhaps, save enough to pay the tax upon their incomes. What to the fartitik ii'a-per cenhge on profits, to them is a confiscation of pitfits: Beyond that, instead of portion of saved money, the- tax - as 'a: sin fence of actual privation. The three years' pretence is already discarded. This income tax in not meats tto bo temporiry. It will will evidently be co-existent with 'the ascendancy ef Toryism. After three years Sir Robert Peel - two: prOmises'net to take off the tax, but to be guided by the decision of Putt- Inent as to its continuance; and he expresies his hope",that Parliament will be disposed to prolong its duration. 01 eoutse the present Parliament will be disposed to do so: We are under a landowners' Legislwore. They will readily do the Minister'e work. We may take for granted at once that the burden is permanent." The Herald says :—" It will not be the fault of the trading, professional, and literary classes themselves if, to use this Pre tnier's language, • no alteration whatever be made in the in come tax.' Let them at once imitate the energy and activity of those sections of the community who felt their interests en ' dangered by the alterations in the tariff, and the wedge will be inserted into that portion of the Ministerial proposition which will, if it pass unmodified, act as a tax on the profits of actively employed and reproducing capital and of labour. Nothing ex travagant, nothing unreasonable is wanted; all that is sought is that Sir Robert Peel's own equitable declaration that every man ought to 1e taxed according to his means,' be made the basis of the proposed levy on income." The Times, after arguing on the impolicy of the advance upon Affghanistan, goes onto say We have lost the credit of success by the most complete and disastrous overthrow that our arms ever suffered in India. The first are gone for ever ; the last we have to regain as we can, by more bloodshed, know ing ourselves meantime to be engaged in an uncalled-for and unprofitable quarrel—a quarrel which, as we began it without excuse, so, at best, we shall have to end it by a mere empty assertion of our power;—necessary, indeed, in this dreadful conjuncture, but unaccompanied by any useful or safe acquisi tion of friends, or honour, or treasures, or territory—an occu pation perilous and unprofitable to maintain—suffering, with no object but infliction—loss of men and money, with no re compense but a demons ration. Such is the course to which we are pledged by the fatal policy of the Indian Government. Such is the course which we must indeed pursue with prompti tude, and vigour, and unfaltering decision, but with a heavy heart, and no thankful feelings towards those who have bound us to it." The Advertiser remarks, in an article on the state of affairs in India :—" The effect of a sudden arrival in India of a strong effective band, would be of incalculable benefit; for, although India, otherwise than the immediate theatre of the war, may be described as tranquil, still, never was there a moment when the dread of danger from all sides equalled the present. The drain of soldiers to China—and where events are still sus pended, awaiting a reinforcement of six regiments—is in itself a reason why the greatest efforts should forthwith be made to supply, through the most expeditious channels, the desideratum of European troops in India." MONIST-TRADE-COIVIMERCE. The workpeople employed by Messrs. Honley ar.d Co., of Blackburn, have turned out to the number of about 1,500, in consequence of an attempt to reduce their wages. Dundee is in so depressed a state of trade, that no less than 4,ooo,working people are dependent on charity. Messrs. Acraman, Morgan, and Co. made a satisfactory statement of theirliabilities and assets on Monday at Bristol, and have had till the 31st of December given them to com plete their affairs. ELECTIONEERING. The Brighton electors have called on Lord Hervey and Mr. Summers Harford, the two candidates, to meet them at tlieTown hall to-morrow to explain their political principles in regard to the income tax, in the event of their being returned.

The Government hired transport, Cornwall, is now loading at Plymouth with stores, and taking on board 10,000 bags of biscuit for the fleet in China. xdavhr AND POLICE. The bankruptcy affairs of the Messrs. Gale, late extensive rope-makers in Shadwell, were brought before the Court yes terday ; the debts are about 30,00'1., the assets in hand 3,000/. Assignees were chosen. The affairs of Messrs.

An assignee was hosen without opposition. William James, charged with having wil ully set fire to the Vicarage-house at Marshfield last February, was found guilty at the Gloucester Assizes on Monday, and sentence of death recorded against him, which will be commuted to transportation. Mr. Thomas Groom,gunmaker, of the Hampstead-road, ap peared at Worship-street yesterday, to answer the charge of having driven over a woman, whose name was unknown, and thereby caused her death.

LAW IN INSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY) (Before Mr. Commissioner HARRIS. ) The Court was occupied during the morning in hearing applications for bail, of which there were sixteen town cases and thirteen country. The greater portion of them were dis posed of, but not the slightest feature of general interest was elicited during any of the hearings. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) , OLD COUR7'. (Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE and Mr. Justice ERSKII , M) Richard Bales, aged 40, draper, was irdicted for feloniously sending a letter to William Henry Caitlin, threatening to ac cuse him of an infamous crime, with intent to extort the sum of 1 01. The facts of the case appeared in The Sun at the time the case was investigated before the Magistrates at Guildhall. A letter had been received by the prosecutor, threatening him with the indictment charged. The writer directed iu the letter that an answer should be returned. addressed to the Post-office, 5, High-street, Borough. The reply was sent as directed. The prisoner called for it, and was immediately given in custody, the Postmaster having previously been di rected to do so. A witness was called, who ',roved that the threatening letter was in the handwriting of the prisoner. The prisoner in his defence said that he had been requested by a person to call for the letter, but he did not know where the Ferson was at the time he called for the letter. He was totally ignorant of its contents. • The Learned Junco having summed up the evidence, the Jury found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. Justice ERSKINE, in passing sentence, said the ofreace of which the prisoner had been found guilty was one that, for the good of the whole public, sliuld be repressed, and as the best means of doing so, it was necessary to inflict the severest penalty allowed by law. The sentence was, that the prisoner be transported beyond the seas for the term oftwenty- one years. NEW COURT. None of the eases in this Court to-day were of any interest POLICE INTELLIGENCE BOW-STREET-(T HIS DAY.) A powerful looking young man, with the appearance of a pugilist, and who gave the name of Samuel Corbel, was charged under the following somewhat suspicious circumstances : • James Henry Collin, the complainant, stated that he was a teacher of music. He- went to the theatre last night, and afterwards went to a party, which he left at a quarter to two in the morning ; he then went to the Harp public-house, in Bite sell- sti eet, Drury-lane, where several of his friends were in the habit of assembling. When he gat there a friend asked him to partake of a glass of ale, and said that he had been to the Bank that day and had drawn a good deal of money. Soon after this some parties in the house beg n to push about, and one person wanted to strike witness's friend, who was rather the worse for liquor, and a very quiet, inof fensive man. This excited witness's suspicion, and he thought it his duty to ring the bell for the landlord; he accordingly proceeded to get on the table for that purpose, when the prisoner at the bar seized him by the leg, and lulling him down, made a snatch at his breast, at an union pin in his stock, which he succeeded in breaking,leaving one pin and the connecting chain only in the stock; the other pert of the pin, which contained a small ruby, was lost. Alter witness gave the prisoner in charge, the men who were assisting him in assault ing witness's friend were outside. and said to witness, 6' You don't mean to press this charge, if you do it will be worse for you," or words to that effect. One of those men he believed was a pugilist, named Jones, residing in the neighbourhood of Cow- cross. A gentleman, named Lee, who happened to be present at the Harp at the time in queAton, corroborated the complainant's evidence. file prisoner, in defence, stated that he was a baker and a householder, residing in Brunswick-place, Commercial-road. He was a stranger to all the parties at the Harp; but seeing that something wrong. was going on, he took hold of the com plainant's leg fur his own good, in order to prevent him getting into a distarbance.—The prisoner was committed for trial. UNION HALL-(THIS DAY.) James Steers, a very powerful man, by trade a - master chimney-sweeper, was charged with breaking hie wife's jaw, and inflicting other injuries, by which her life is endangered. A policeman produced a medical certificate, stating that the unfortunate woman was in a dangerous state, and therefore unable to attend. He said that the assault was committed on the woman by the defendant, who struck her with such vi,lence op the jaw as to fracture the bone, and that while she was lying op the ground he kicked her in a savage manner. The defendant said that his wife irritated him- by breaking the windows, and that he struck her, but not with such force as to hurt her seriously. Mr. 'Col-rim:anAat said that the certificate produced de 'scribed the assault as one of a most violent nature. He.slaould take especial care that the injured. woman should appear if she recovered, and if the case ended fatally he should certainly commit the defendant for murder.—The defendant was then remanded. MARLEQRO U GH-STREET. It : (THIS DAY ) INEBRIETY.—A very fashionably dressed female, who gave her name, but refused to give her address, was plaeed4t the bar, charged bypolice constable, No. 100, cf the :Cdivision, with being drunk and incapable of takin,g care of herself, at five o'clock yesterday afterOoon, in St. James's square, and having caused a crowd of personS to assemble round her, who were scoffing and deriding her, and pushing her about. On being searched at the station-house, a valua ble lady's gold watch, chain, a wedding, and another finger-ring were found upon her, and in her purse, which she had in her hand when the policeman took her in charge, were five sovereigns, one-half sovereign, and ss. in si:ver. Mr. MALTbY (the presiding Magistrate) asked the defendant in what station of life she was ?—The defendant said she must decline answering that question, as other persons might be pre judiced by her so doing. All the information she could give of herself was that she was a married woman, and in a very respec table station of society. . She was thud 55., ;Nhich the paid with alacrity, and left the office. — iiichard Wainwright, a young man, was charged as follows: Police constable No. 2ti, of the A division, stated that at the close of the Opera last night, he saw the prisoner in company with another man, bustling about amongst the crowd under the Opera Colonade, in the Haymarket. Suspecting they were sick-pockets, he followed them for some time, and at length saw the prisoner attempt to take a handkerchief that was partly hanging out of agentlernan's pocket. Witness pus Led forward to secure him an the act; he peg ceiving this, instantly desisted, and was ;tinning off when witness secured hint ; his companion, however, got off. Mr. MALTBY asked if the p, isoner was known, and having received an answer in the negative, admonished the prisoner as to his future conduct, and discharged him. David Benton, a corporal in the 72d Regiment of High landers, was charged on suspicion of stealing a silver watch, a silver guard.chain, and a gold watch key, of the value of W., the property of Alexander M'Kinnon, a private in the same regiment. The prosecutor stated that he came on Monday last from Windsor with the prisoner and others of the regiment, who arc about proceeding to Scotland to recruit. The prisoner and himself ware quartered at a house, the sign of the St. George and the Dragon, but where it was situate, he (the prosecutor) could not recollect. lie got very tipsy that night, and was taken up to bed by the prisoner, and in the mornine. he missed his watch. The prisoner had been absent during the night from his quarters. Prosecutor had since seen the watch key in pledge at a pawbroker's, and the prisoner was described as the party pledging it. Mr. MALTBY said, there was no legal evidence against the prisoner, but for his character's sake he would .send for the party in question. The case was therefore ordered to stand over. ELECTION COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY.) WIGAN. The Committee met at the usual hour. The CHAIRMAN announced that the Committee had decided that the vote of James Haig, which had been yesterday ob jected to by the Counsel for the sitting Member, was a good vote. The vote of Wm. Harrison was next objected to by the Counsel for the sitting Member, on the ground of insufficiency of value. A valuator rated the premises at 71., but the Counsel for the petitioners produced a receipt, showing that the voter had paid a rent of 101. 2-3 ear. The premises had been valued at 101. by a valuator called by Counsel for the petitioners. The Committee, after deliberating for some time, decided that the vote was a good one. The vote of John Coyle was then objected to by Counsel for the sitting Members, on the ground of insufficiency of value.; The vote was not deeded on at the hour of our going to press. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO . THREE, A further advance•in the prices of Consols has again taken place, and the market still bears an appearance of firmness. Scveralpurcha-e• have been made for investment, and the rates are now—Consols, 90% to 90/ for Money and the present Account, and 91 for that in May ; , New Three-and-a-Hall per Cents.,'99k 100 h : Three-and-a-Half per Cents. Reduced, psi 99 ; Three per Cents., 89,1894 ; Bank Stock, 1661 167 ; India Bonds 12, and Exchequer Bills 35 to 37 prem. The svecula , ors in Foreign Bonds have taken advantage of the rise in the English Stocks, and caused the quotations of the various Securities to be marked higher. The Old Spanish Active Fives, and the New Three per Cent. Stock bear ex actly the same nominal price, 25 25h ; but wherefore this should be the case is difficult to be understood. Mexican a'so has atitanced a trifle, and is now quoted 40. Colombian, 27 27* ; Colombian, ex-Venezuela, 1414 ; Peruvian Six per Cents., 17 for the Account; Portugue,e Five per Cents. 36, and the Three per Cents. 21. The price of the Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. is 52h 52*, and of Brazilian 676. R a ilway Shares are all firm, and attention is now drawn to those lines which bear a low price, in consequence of requiring capital to complete their intended arrangements. Croydon Trunk, 13* 133 ; Eastern Counties, 9; South Western, 60 ; Brighton, 36-1 ; Bristol and Exeter, 40 ; Grrat Western, 921 ; the New Shar,s, 64/ ; Fiftba,.loi. Money is very scarce, and the rate of 6 per cent. per annum has been paid on Consols. It is considered that the report of Austria, Holland. and Russia, havirg obtained each a loan is incorrect; the latter Power has not yetconcluded the oegociations still in progress, and those for the other twoPouers are in embryo. From accounts from Sydney, by the way of Calcutta, infor mation has been received of the stoppage of the mercantile firm of Messrs. Duke and Co. This makes the third or fourth occurrence of a similar nature which has taken place within a comparatively short time. It is with regret that it must be noticed, that these failures create but • little surprise, when the method by which trade in that quarter has been carried on for some years past is remembered. In addition to extremely heavy imports, far beyond what the colonists could by any possibility take off, the rate of interest on advances •and commercial transactions has been frequently as high as Efteen per cent. pr annum ; much above what any legitimate operation would allow. Beside these drawbacks, the speculation on land has been carried to an immense and ruinous extent, the present holders of vvhich, coming in at the highest price, now find themselves nearly ruined. At the commencement of business, the first traders rapidly made large fortunes, and it is to these- accumulations being suddenly realised, that the present distress is mainly to be attributed. As an example of the state of trade there, an instance very lately happened, of a whole cargo of Stilton cheese; and amounting to many tons in weight, being landed at Sydney from Liver pool, in the best possible condition. and immediately sold, to cover the advance, at 7d. per pound; this cargo was after Wards re-sold for the Calcutta market at a price nearly approaching I Id. per lb. When the amount of the loss upon the cost price, anti. the high rate of interest !is calculated, little surpris e will be exhibited at the mercantile distress now so unfortunately pre valent there. There are no foreign arrivals to-day. PRICES OF SHARES TIIIS DAY •AT ONE. R A ILWAYS. Paid.

The following extract of a letter from General Pollock's camp bearing date Abe 23d ultimo, gives an account of the un fortuna e Envoy's murder, on what we cannot help considering, as far as the detail of the horrid act is concerned, to rest on the best authority we have yet had—that of an eye witness, and ore whom we think may be implicitly trusted to in such a relation. However, we lay it before the reader fur his own appreciation : The following particulars of the death of Sir William were communicated to s ev era l pe r sons yesterday, by Sir A. Burnes' Kafila Bashre, who arrived in camp yester day evening, with his creden,ials, on kis way to Feruzepure, Only twinty days from Cabool. The murder of Sir Wiliam 31‘Naghten did not take place in durbar, .as generally sup po,ed, but at a conference in the plain, where this man was present, and he states that Akbar Khan wanted Sir W. to proclaim him King, which was refused, on which he seized hold of Sir W. as if to pull him along with him, and was re. sisted by Sir W. Akbar Khan finding threats useless, pulled a pistol out from under his garment and sh o t hi nt himself, in the left breast ; he di,l not fall but staggered ti..ck, when he drew another and shot hint again, upon which he fell, but still alive, when a matchlock man was ordered to skoot hint through the head, which put. an end to his sufferings—they then cut his head off, and by Abkar Khan's order stuck it on a pole and carried it all round the place. Lady M'Naghten ran turned the body for 6,000 rupees, and it was buried. This much I heard related by the man myself, and no one entertains the least doubt of its ti uth. The man called on the General, to whom he made this statement." LIST OF PERSONS ASCERTAINED TO HAVE BEEN:KILLED IN AFFGHANISTAN SINCE THE COMIIIENCEMENT O . F THE INSURRECTION ON NOVEMBER 2,1841.

TIM ES. —The premium on gold at Paris ia 9 per male, which at the English Mint price of 3/.175. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 '37l j , and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 57i, it follows that gold is 0.80 per cent. dearer in London tha n i n Paris. By advises from Hambureh the price of gold is 4331 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10 1 hd. per ounce, for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 9*, and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 10i, it follows that gold is 0.57 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. • The course of exchange at New York on London is 108 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the ex change is 1.57 per cent. against England. B u t t h e quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted from the above difference. POST.—The tea market became extremely dub after the delivery of the letters, asthe trade were made acquainted with the fact, that shipments hat been going on during the month to a large extent, and that prices had fallen considerably in China, which, added to the low rate of freights, would leave a large profit to the importer upon the quoted prices at Canton. Speculators appear to have abandoned the market ; the perpe tual monthly prophecies of the residents at Macao, that a blockade was expected in a few days, having now become stale and most unprotitaule to those who believed in them, whiLt the trade seeing the eagerness with which importers are press ing sales, and having learned that some twenty cargoes are now afloat and in course of arrival,• deem it prudent to buy only what their immediate wants require, and thus the public stand a chance of getting the leaf at a moderate price, as the exist ence of the war, it appears, does not prevent trade with Canton. SUN.—The price of Consols improved IA to per cent. upon the closing prices of yesterday, the last quotations to-day being 90i 94, both for Money antifor the Acco an t. Thi s i s to be attributed to some large purchases in the New Three and-a-Half per Cents. as well as in the Consols themselves, supposed to be so on account of a large insurance establishment ; the great amount of unemployed ca pit a l must , h owever, h ave had some influence. Ihe Money Market has for a long time evinced a degree of buoyancy which it scarcely could have done had it not been for the last reason ; and it has been urged that at no period have appearances been so favourable for a funding operation, which would have precluded the necessity of resorting to the proposed financial plan. It has been stated by parties well versed in monetary affairs, that the market could have sustained the calling in and funding all the outstanding Exchequer Bills, without causing a decline of more than about two to three per cent. Had such a proceeding been adopted an opportunity would have been afforded fur re-issuing new ones of improved security to the public, fur such sums as might have been .squired for the present exigences, thus giving time for testing the result of the changes in the import duties. Ti e New Three and-a- Half peNCents. left off at 9b 100, and Ex chequer Bills 35 to 37 prem. The Foreign Market was dull as to the extent of bargains, but the quotations for the Bonds 4f the insolvent States were not allowed to droop; the Portuguese Five per Cents. being 35 36k; the Three per Cents. 20i 21*; Colombian 264 27 ; Mexican 394 40 ; Spanish Five per Cents. 24i 24L, and the Three per Cents. 24* The price of Belgian was 103 104 ; Brazilian, 67 68 ; Danish, 606 iii} ; Dutch Two-and-a-Hallper Cents. 52 to 52* ; and the Five per Cents. lot) to 1001 The prices of Shares were without much variation, but they showed an evident disposition to advance.

INSPECTION OP THE 15TH REoimENT.--Lieutenant General Lord Bloomfield, G.C.8., and G. C. H. inspecte d this regiment yesterday on Woolwich-common. The compa nies assembled at eleven o'clock, A.M.. and were commanded by Lieutenant -Colonel Lord Charles Wellesley. The evolu tions were performed in a manner to the entire satisfaction of th e gallant Lieutenant-General, which be was phased to ex press to Lieutenant-Colonel Lord Charles Wellesley, their commanding officer, who communicated to the officers and men his approbation that . th ey h ad all performed their duties so well. Previous to leaving Woolwich the officers of the 15th regiment have been invited to dine at the mess of the Royal Artillery. CAPTURE EXTRAORDINARY.—On Saturday last Messrs. F. and C. Corrance, while trolling in a moat surround in^ a farmhou,e in the occupation of Mr. H. Keen, of Parham, Suffolk, took two enormous pikes, the longest weighing 36 1 b ., and measuring in length 4 feet; the other weighing 191 b., and measuring from tip to tail 3 feet 3 inches. The Leipsic Gazette announces that the circulation in Prussia a a French work, recently publi,hed in Paris,, entitled" Pru ss i a an d h er political and religious Government," has been pr o hibi te d , although not a single copy of t h at work had yot found its way into Prussia. GREAT MARLOW AND MELCOMBE REGIS. The Committee met this morning at 11. The proceedings commenced with an argument by Mr. Serjeant WItANGIIAM against the vote of Charles Gibbons, to which he had objected on the part of the petitioners. The Committee, after a long deliberation, decided that the vote was a good one. The sitting Members still continue in a majority of one. GRATITUDE OF A FRENCH LADY.—Mademoiselle de la Champagne, a French lady of property, who recently died in the town of Avranches, in Normandy, bequeathed 1,200/. to the British nation, in grateful acknowledgement of the libe rality and kindness which she had experienced from the Go vernment and people of England during her residence there as an emigrant, at the time of the Revolution. The Mayor of Avranches solicited permission of Sir Robert Peel for the ap plication of the money towards building a ward in the Town Hospital, to be appropriated to the relief of British sailors shipwrecked on the coast, or of other destitute English persons. The Premier cozsented, and the Mayor has presented to the Minister a work recently published by Dr. James Hairby, in English, entitled " Historical and Descriptive Sketches of Avranches and its Vicinity," emblazoned with the civic arms. This spirit we should ever wish to see cultivated by both nations. On the 22d ult. there was a sudden ftill of snow at Rome, although during the three preceding days the thermo meter had beer, up to la degrees above zero of Reaurour (nearly 66 of Fahrenheit). The hills of Albano and Tusculum re mained white for the whole day. CANTERBURY UNION BANIC-011 Monday and Tuesday the examination of the partners in this bank took place at Canterbury, and the information adduced, relative to the consignment of all the personal property of Mr. 1131 dock, one of the partners, was important. From the evidence of his son it appeared that various heavy mortgages, consisting of 15,000/., to Messrs. Grote and Co. ; 10 0001. to Mr. Martelly ; 75,000/. to Mr. Bolton ; 8,0001. to Mr. Boddington ; and ano.ber to Messrs. Prescott and Co. were not received upon his joining the firm in 1836, for his use, but exclusively for his father's; and indemnities on the occasion were offered him on execution of the deeds thereof. These facts were afterwards , confirmed on the asseveration of Mr. H. Kingsford. The meeting on Tues day was concluded by allowing the accounts to pass, but strong remonstrance was made 'against the unsatisfactory manner in ' which the accounts and affairs had been managed. ----- VALUE or LAND AT SYDNEY.—The Broughton estate lately brought to the hammer, realized 12,952/. One lot was disposed of at the rate of 521. rer foot. huNEss or MB. YATES.—For some days past Mr. Yates, the actor, has been suffering under a very dangerous attack, at Morrison's Hotel, Dublin, caused by the bursting of a blood-vessel. COLONIAL MARKET. There was little busine,s (lane, but holders generally were firm, and in prices little variation took place. The quantity of produce pressing for sale was small. Raw Sugar supports prices, but the demand was limited. We quote Brown West India, 58s. to 60s. ; Yellow, 61s. to 70s. ; White Bengal, 635. to 70s. per cwt. Coffee difficult of sale, but, prices were sus tained. Gond ordinary Ceyton, 76.. ; and fine 775. to 78s. per cwt. Rice more asked for, and stiffer rates paid. TEA MARKET. The Market for free trade Tea remains in an inactive state ; by private treaty few sales were made, but prices were fully sustained. Company's Congo.o is. l ld. per 10. cash. TALLOW MARKET. • There was a fair demand and prices were firm at 465. 3d on the spot, and 48s. for delivery. OIL MARKET. The market dull, and drooping for all sorts.

Sia,—ln the event of the income tax once more becoming the law of the land, how will the foreign Artistes, Singers and Dancers, engaged at her Majesty's Theatre and the French plays, be able to make their return, so as to be called upon to pay the tax ? My reason for calling, I hope, the attention of some Member of the Legislature to this is, that they, the Foreigners, seldom or ever remain six months at. a time in this country ; although during the time they are in it, it is well known, they manage to make their income amount to many thousands ! Now, Sir, as the English actors will have to pay the tax, at least those whose income may exceed 1501. per year, which I grieve to say are but few, while all the foreigners obtain more, by many Inu dreds, will it not be an act of double injustice, if the foreigners alluded to, are permitted to escape scot free, while our native " Poor Players" will be compelit d to subscribe to the tax ? Yours, obediently, T. R. H. April 6, 1842. PARLIAMENTARY 1) (From the Votes and Proceedings Of the Ho TUESDAY, YARIL 5. 1 IV ISIONS. )use of Commons.)

They are all in one mountain, between the valley of Campan and the small town of Serrano°lin, in the valley of the Aure. According to the report of 111. Nere Boubee, a scientific geologist,.these new marbles, which are all of different species, are superior in quality and beauty to those of Campan and Sarrancolin, which were used in the construction and adornment of the palaces of Versailles and Trianon, and which were considered to be the finest marbles of France, and even comparable to those of Italy.
