The double debate last night on the Scotch Church terminated, as we anticipated, in the total defeat of the Non-Intrusionist party. The Government, after a long and ominous silence, have at length spoken out in a way that cannot fail to be understood by the dominant sec tion of the Kirk, and announced their firm determination to enforce the law of the land against that new scheme of discipline and persecution called the Veto Act. This announcement will cheer and console nine clergymen who have been deposed or excommunicated for following the dictates of their own conscience, and obeying the com mands of Scripture, as well as the laws of their country. The remarks of Sir R. PEEL on the state of the Scotch Church are just and benevolent. No Minister under the Crown is so well acquainted with the working of that excellent establishment: he distributed the Crown pa tronage for a long series of years, and had ample oppor tunity of witnessing the blessed effects produced by the moral and religious teaching of the poorest but unquestionably the most useful body of Clergymen in Christendom. It was impossible, therefore, he said, for any man to lament more deeply than he did her present condition. " lie had during the period previous to those unhappy dissensions contrived so to conduct his relations with the Church of Scotland, that the whole tenour of his official career had been one of uninterrupted harmony, and that recollection made him feel more deeply grieved at the occurrences which had since taken place." Every fr'end to Scotland sympa thises with these ben , velent feelings, when he contrasts her present condition with that of former titnQs. " During that period," said Sir JAMES GRAHAM, •' the system exercised by honest and upright ministers had produced the most salutary influence on the character, morals, and habits of the people." What is her condi fon now ? A state of actual warfare; the fa:her divided against the son, and the mother against the daughter ; one-half of the holy ministers of religion at dire hosti lity with the other—the people allowed no rest—the pnl pits desecrated by violent harangues, suited only to re volutionary assemblies, and utterly disgraceful in a place of worship ; many of the most venerable fathers of the Church deposed, or threatened with deposition, and the people themselves instigated both by the example and the precepts of their teachers to rebel against the law of the land. Perhaps a more complete moral disorganisation was never exhibited in a civilised com munity. And all for what ?—Not the good of the great body of the Christian people, but the aggrandisement of a certain number of clergymen who, covering their own love of power and dominion under the cloak of religion, have thus thrown the whole of Scot:and into confusion. We therefore rejoice that Ministers have come to the firm determination how to act, and have left no hopes of suc cess to these revolutionary agitators. Their violence must be repressed, and they must either obey the law, or walk out of the State Church. The Government have not taken up their ground without sufficient reason. The sentiments of the Tories (excepting, always, the Duke of ARGYLL and his nominee), of all men of Liberal prin ciples, and of all the writers in newspapers (with an ex ception only confirming the general rule), are decidedly oppOsed to the heartless persecutors who deposed the ministers of Strathbogie. It would be impossible, in the whole history or polemical warfare, to find such wondrous unanimity. The division last night is in unison with public feeling. Sir R. PEEL, therefore, has only one course to pursue. Let him enfor,ve the law of the land with jus tice and mercy ; let him protect the persecuted, and runish the guilty, and he will find himself supported by all wise and good men in his holy purpose of restoring peace and unity to the afflicted Church of Scotland. A second conversation took place in the House of Commons last night, on the alleged scandalous con duct of the Protestant chaplain of Salford gaol towards Roman Catholic prisoners. The chaplain, the Rcv. Mr. BAGSHAW, in a letter to Sir R. PEEL, denied that he had preached controversial sermons in the gaol, or that he had insulted Roman Catholic prisoners on account of their religion, or prevented them from being visited by clergymen of the Romish Church. Mr. 'l'. Duscomnli, to whom the country is indebted for bringing this sub ject before it, read a letter in the House of Commons last night, from the Rev. Mr. M'CAnTxr, a Roman Catholic clergyman, to whose moral worth Mr. (nos /NELL bore testimony, re-asserting every charge against Mr. 13AGsnAw made by the prisoners, and .offering to prove them on oath to the satisfaction of a Committee of the House of Commons. Now, without wishing to pronounce a decided opinion upon this particular case, we think the attention of the religious public may be very profitably directed to this question. We regret to state, of our own knowledge, that priests are over fond of preaching controversial sermons, to the disedification of true piety and the ex tinction of Christian charity. We have known many such priests of different creeds, and we always looked upon them as the worst and foulest libellers of the Gospel, and the veriest pests of a Christian community. We know of no offence for the punishment of which we would sooner revive the stocks and the whipping-post than the preaching of a controversial sermon in a gaol. The French Journals still dwell upon our disasters in Afghanistan, which they predict are the forerunners of the downfall of our empire in In lia. We have so often heard such predictions that we care as little about them as we do about the Monk of Dree's prophecy of the swal lowing of London, and ihe inundation of France. Our Gallic Contemporaries may spare themselves the trouble of further surmises. Our Indian Empire would not be a jot less safe were every British soldier in Afghanistan on the other side of the Indus. It is not in Ctsbool that our power in India can be stricken down, although we are ready to admit that reverses there are calculated to injure our commercial intercourse with the whole of that region of Central Asia. But our reverses even there are capable of being repaired, and will be repaired in spite of all the predic tions of the French press. When we leave Cabool for the last time, it will not be with a tarnished flag or a ' sullied reputation. There will be no permanent occupa tion of the country on our part. We do not, and never did want it. But there must and will be an ex neion of suitable reparation for ail the injuries which we may have received since the commencement of AK HEAR KHAN'S rebellion. The Presse states that the friendly professions of the British Government are so little cared for by the Ca binet of the Tuileries, that the answer made to them by the French Minister of Marine is a Royal Ordinance for improving the naval force of the country. Lord ABER DEEN'S blunders are creating a very bad impression in France. People will soon not care for what he asserts in the Rouse of Lords. The lie direct is now commonly given to him by the Ministers of France and Spain. If Sir ROBERT PEEL proposes to stay much longer in office, he must endeavour to rid himself of the Noble Foreign Secretary. The Presse has another ar ticle, three columns long, recommending France to set aside the Treaty of 1831, fur suppressing the Slave Trade. We expect next to see articles, invoking the re vival of that inhuman traffic, under the protection of the French flag ! The city if Nantes has been remonstrating for these seven ' years against the differential duties on the importation of fo.. reign coals ; it has just addressed a petition to the Chambers, fisr the purpose o f h av i ng these duties altered. At present the duty is 33 centimes per hectolitre,in theports beyond Sables L'O'ortne ; 55 centimes in the parts between Sables d'Olonne Ltd Dunk rk ; I 1 centimes on the land frontier betwJen the Sambre and the Rhine ; and 33 centimes between Dunkirk and the Sambre. Nan'es is thcrcfo ein the most unfavourable zone. '1 hose differential duties were calculated with the idea of ex cluding, to a certain degree, English coals; and to equalise the Trice of them at all ports of the French coast. But events have shown tl at the calculation wa s erroneous, for the price of the freight botween Newcastle and Mar seilles is Intro!' titan het ween Newcastle and Rouen, or Nantes. The difference in favour of Marseille s at the end of January last was 25 pi r cent. The importat on of foreign increased withi n a few years. In coil; at Nantes has gi eaily 1834 no more than about 11,000 metrical qu i nta l s were im ported into Nantes; and in 1841 the importations amounted to three hundred thousand quintals In 11534 fourteen ships, laden with English cJals, entered the port of Nantes ; in 1841 the number of ships wds 213, five-sixths of the quantity was im.. ported by French ships. The increasing wants of the city are al. most exclusively supplied by foreign coals. The department s which might supply Naives remain statirriary,he departments with respe c t t o . the quareity o f coals produced by them. I ( f the M a i ne an d L o i re , an d o f the Loire Interieures do not produce above "400,000 quintals each, yet the quantity roduced in France is quadrupled ; in 1808 it was 7,000,000 quintals, in 1840 it exceeded 28 millions. Yet, notwithstand ing this general increase, Nantes continues to import more and more coals from abroad, beca use th e i ncomp l e t e state of the mynas of communication, and the distance from the great coal barns (for instance, from the mines of the Upper Loire, or those of the North of France), prevent it from having itl supply from them. The petitioners of Nantes, therefore, ask for the suppression of the surtax on English coals. BOURSE—Pmtis, MOND kY, MARCH 14. First Highest Lowest Last Price Pri:e.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, ONE O'CLOCK. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MARCH 13.—The sales were on a very moderate scale, but without change in prices ; the quantity sold was about 2,500 bales, including 300 Ame rican for exportation. LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, MARCH 13.—A good demand existed for Shares, and Great Western were particularly in request. Prices were steady, and the following sales took place :—Birmingham, Quarters, 36; Eastern Counties, De bentures, 10 1-3 d; Ditto, New, 38 1-6th; Midland Coun ties, 81 ; Ditto, Quarters, 20i ; North Midland, Halves, 35 ; Great Western, 90; Ditto, Halves, 63k.

Manchester and Birmingham, 28} to 29 ; Bank of Manchester, 31. 7s. 6d. Demerara papers to the 31st of January have been received by a private ship. The late differences between the planters and labourers were nearly arranged, and the Areater proportion had returned to their work. The owners of the estates were determined not to pay rates higher than those agrerd upon at the late meeting, and to remove such negroes as would not comply with their terms. This is not to be regarded as a harsh measure, since, on account of the scarcity of labour, it had been actually necessary to pay any sum that might be asked, in order to insure even a partial cultivation of the property, which the lately emancipated slaves were not slow to take advantage of ; and the price of pro duce having fallen considerrbly, a'most the whole of the proceeds were absorbed in labour. In many instances, had not a saving been effected in this item the property must necessarily have been abandoned. As a proof that the rates were exorbitantly high, it is stated that many negroes had saved sufficient to purch; se among them several estates, and had located themselves upon them, obtaining a subsistence by cultivating their portions. About six estates have thus been disposed of, and for one L , O,' 00 dots. had been paid in cash. These papers contain a melancholy statement from St. Helena, to which island, negroes, which may have been taken in slave vessels are conveyed, until an opportunity may offer to send them to the various colonies. The whole number thus landed between June 1840, and December, 1841, had been 2,738, of whom no fewer than 1,118 had died, and at the end of the year 1,435 remained unplaced. It is satisfactory, however, to be able to state, that the most recent intelligence from the Cape of Good Hope mentioned that these poor creatures were to be divided between that colony and Bri tish Guiana, and that ships were to be immediately de spatched for such of them as were intended for the Cape, the inhabitants having raised a fund among themselves, to guarantee the Government against any expense which might be incurred in the trabsmissisn. The closing prices of the English funds yesterday were not maintained, although the market may be stated to be good, Consols being 89-i- 89i for Money, and 891- 0 90 for the Account, which are a fraction lower. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents 99/1. India Bonds 10 premium. Exchequer Bills remain at 295. to 31s. premium. Speculation in Foreign Stock is still going on, but it is necessary that the public should not be misled by the advanced quotations, which have been raised solely on account of the im proved state o 1 the English market. Should Consols decline, the fall here would be more than proportionately great. Mexi can continues the favourite, and has been as high as 42/, but is now 41i to 42 ; Columbian 27 to 27* ; Buenos Ayres, 23 ; Peruvian, 171 for Money, and 17,3 to 18/ fer the Account ; Spanish 25A 25/ ;Portuguese, 34,4 to 35. Buyers have appeared for Railway Shares, which are gene rally viewed as a safe investment ; in fact, few more legitimate can be found, inasmuch as the money is expended in national improvements, employing the labouring class of the country. Great Western are 21. per sha'e better than yesterday, being 921,4 93 ; and the New Shares 64 1 / 2 643. York and North Midland, 93 1 % 93 1 / 2 ; the New Shares 32. South Western 591. Croydon 12%. Brighton, 358 36. Greenwich, 6/ to 6/. Money is very abundant in the discount market, although tight on the Stock Exchange. The rate of discount for first rate paper is reduced to 4 and 4 per cent. The Liverpool coffee dealers arc preparing a memorial to the Board of Trade, praying that some relief may be given to them as regards their stock of East India Coffee which they have on hand. From an observation wade by Alr. Al'Gregor, to the deputation which waited upon him on the subject of a difference in duty in favour of this descriptiDn, it would appear probable that the rr quest may be complied with, that gentleman having inquired if such a concession would prove beneficial, and which the parties refus?d to ac • cept, in the expectation of obtaining a reduction of duty. It is now almost certain that no alteration will be made in the intended sale, but that the rates will be 4d. per lb. on British plantation, and Bd. on Foreign. The Earl of Ripon was strongly urged to admit Mocha and other kinds similarly situated at a less sum than Bd., but to which suggestion he gave a decided negative, refusing even to admit Coffee, the produce of the territories of the Rajah of Mysore, who is completely under our protection and control. It is stated that a proposition has been sent from our Go• vernment to that of the Brazils, offering to make a concession in favour of their sugar if the slave trade be abolished. It is not improbable, from that part of Sir Robert Peel's sin eeh which alluded to the sugar duties, but that the report may have had so-r e foundation in fact. PRICES OF SHARESTIIB DAY AT ONE.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 1(, 1842. LAW INTELLIGENCE. CHANCERYCOURT.-(THISDAY ) ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. THE EARL OE STAMFORD. The Court was engaged up to its rising in the further hear ing of this part-heard case. VICE-CH ANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR OF ENGLAND.) His HoNova was engaged during the morning in hearing the case of Carter v. Nelson, a petition by order, in his private room. (Before Vice-Chancellor BRUCE ) The cases which came before his HONOUR to-day were of a technical and uninteresting character. (Before Vice-Chancellor WicuAlst. ) SHARP V TAYLOR. His HoNonte pronounced judgment in this case, the hear ing having been brought to a conclusion yesterday. The bill prayed that it might be declared that the plaintiff was entitled to an equal share in a vessel called the Victoria, and also to a moiety of his earnings in four voyages between Liverpool and Charleston since she was purchased. It also prayed an account of the dealings of the parties in real ect of such vessel. His Honour said, that considering the course taken by the defendant he did not feel called upon to pronounce any opinion as to the illegality of the transactions mentioned in the bill, the defen dant having acknowledged the truth of the agreement alleged to have been entered into between die parties, and consented to abide by it. The defendant having submitted to abide by the agreement mentioned in the answer, namely, that all profits which should arise or accrue from freights to be carried by the ship Victoria, should be for the joint and equal benefit of the plaintiff and the defendant, he would refer it to the Master to inquire and state what monies had been received in respect of such freights. CONSISTORY COURT (THISDAY.) SNOW V. SNOW. This was a suit for separation promoted by Mrs. Georgiana Snow against her husband, on the ground of c: uelty. The facts as stated on the hearing of the case have already appeared in The Sun. Dr. Lustinsexost in delivering his judgment as to the ad missibility of the articles in the lib e l, sa id t h at the tart i es in this case were married in January, 1832, and lived together till the 25th of November, 1841, when Mr. Snow quitted Paris, where he had been residing, and came to England. The cessation of cohabitation, expressly pleaded at the end of the 39th article, took place on the Bth of December, 1841, the day Mrs. Snow reached Loudon, but the facts showed that cohabitation really ceased on the 26th of No vember. Mrs. Snow pleaded certain charges of cruelty, which she alleged had been committed against her by her husband; !he tiuth or falsehood of these charges were not the subject of the present. inquiry ; it was not necessary to con sider these charges, but there could be no doubt that the per sonal ill-usage in this case had been of the grossest character, so much so as to affect her bodily safety, and even to endaneer her life. Such conduct, if proved by evidence, and not barred by any legal objection, would entitle her to the separation she prayed for. There was only one real question to decide, which was, whether the conduct of Mrs. Snow, as described by herself, did not form a legal bar to the progre-s of her suit ; in other words, w hether that which was technically called "condonation," had not taken place. Where condonation was founded on evidence only, without facts on either side, he took the result to be that the Court would not be satisfied to act on it, unless it was established by conclusive testimony. But this reasoning could not apply where the alleged condonation was fnsnded on the libel alone. The decision of Lord Stowell in the case of Popkin v. Popkin showed that he had taken the whole of the facts into consideration. He therefore felt bound to pronounce his opinion, whether the circumstances pleaded in the libel did or did not form a complete condonation. Condonation, although a technical term, involved in it the for giveness of an offence, and consisted of two kinds ; the first, words f forgiveness and the act of reconciliation ; the second, an admissio tee' ta. After a consideration of all the cases bear ing on this suit, there were still many points left fur conside ration, doubtless because preceding Judges had not thought it necessary to give an opinion as to such forgiveness. The course he proposed to take in the present case was to ascer tain what had been actually decided in former cases on this point, and apply the same principles to the present case. Fii st, he apprehended as a re sult of other cases, it had been determined that a return of the husband and wife to the marriage bed was, under all the circumstances, a presumption of connubial intercourse ; and secondly, that if the return to cohabitation was compulsory, no such inference could be drawn. For instance, there could be no condonation w here the act of adultery was unknown to the parties aggrieved, and it had also been laid down by the autho rities on this subject, that in respect of condonation between the husband and wife, much would be cons , dered'culpable in the husband which would be praiseworthy in the wife. It had also been equally admitted, that when once condonation had taken place, the complaint of the wife, on the grounds of previous adultery and cruelty, was gone. In the present case, there was no allegation of a revival of the acts of cruelty after the return to cohabitation had taken place, and the question was, whether that return, under all the circumstances, did constitute a condonation. In this case some difficulty arose, from the application of what he had termed the third rule. Had this been a case of a return of a husband to cohabita tion with an adulterous wife, he should say that the condona tion was legal and complete. The case of Timmins v. immins was a strong authority for this view of the subject. But the line of distinction with respect to other kinds of conduct, had not been perfectly observed. The wife might so completely forgive adultery in the husband as to b:r herself of her remedy, but in such a case the endurance of the wife was not always to be construed into insensibility. But there was no charge of adultery in this case, and in eases of condonation, the two offences of adultery and cruelty were of so distinct a nature, that the same considerations could not be equally appli cable to them. With respect to a condonation of cruelty, by cohabitation, he did not think that it would always amount to a legal condonation : the question then, was, could the pre sumption of cohabitation working a condonation, be rebutted by other circumstances? He had been rnxious to find some autho rity on this point, but he believed none could be found. In the case of Lord and Lady Westmeath the condonation by cohabita tion was admitted, said the only question was whether the an tecedent cruelty was renewed by subsequent acts of the same nature. The judgmer.t of Sir J. Nichol, in the else of "D'Agui lar v. D'Aguilar," had rather a t loser bearing on the present case. The doctiine laid down by Lord Stowell was, that the extent of endurance of cruelty by the wife, was not only not to bar her of her remedy by pursuing her suit, but raises no pre sumption against the truth of her complaint. In the case he had just cited there was an extorted return to c o h a bit at i on, as far as a dwellin g t oge ther in the same house, hut not attended by connubial intercourse, and therefore was not in the usual sense of the term, a complete forgiveness. Yet Lord Stowell thought it necessary to show that the cruelty committed i prior to the return to cohabitation was renewed by the acts of cruelty subsequently committed. The case of Popkins v. Popkins was of still more im portance, as in that case a continuance of the cohabita tion after the acts of cruelty was not decreed fatal to the wife's suit. Lord Stowell expressed his opinion that it was not ne cessary for the wife to withdraw from cohabitation on account of the first acts of cruelty, and that her endurance was rather praiseworthy in her than otherwise. But here, in the case last cited, the si uelty was carried down to the latest period of the cohabitation ; and being also cruelty of a peculiar nature, it was held to be sufficient. In cases of great cruelty therefore the Court could riot deprive the wife of her remedy on account of her having returned to cohabitation ; it must depend on all the circumstances of each particular case. He was aware of the danger of abandoning general principles, and he had therefore carefully considered the case : he was aware also of the difficulty of defining the cases that might consti tute exceptions, and how much doubt and uncertainty might arise with respect to them ; but he was conscienti ously convinced, 'from the peculiar nature of the bond that united the husband to the wife, and the extraordinary cases that might occur of continued intercourse under circum stances which no one could anticipate, from the power e hich the husband, in cases of cruelty had over the wife, and, in many instances, the helplessness of her condition, that the evils which might attend a relaxation of the p roceed i ngs, would be less than the mischiefs resulting from a rigorous enforcement of them. The Court would now proceed to the facts of the pre ent case. The cruelty charged commenc e d a l most from the period of the marriage ; and, if the charges were true, the violence and inhumanity of Mr. Snow could scarcely be surpassed. It was alleged that those acts of cruelty continued to the 21st of Nov. last. It appeared there had been a partial cohabitation subse quently. commencing the 22d Nov. After legal advice had been resorted to ; after Mr. Vance had been informed of the facts, and after Mr. Snow had promised to abstain from further vio lence, with a view of avoiding further scandal. This cohabi tation lasted but three days, and during that time there had bee . n , a written confession of f ac t s c h arged against Mr. Snow, vfhien confession he had signed. The cohabitation had ceased tne 25th of ;November, and Mrs. Snow had been brought home by her brother, and proceedings had been commenced at the earliest possible period, namely on the 18th of December fol lowing. Under those circumstances it appeared to the Court that Mr. Snow had not given proof that he meant permanently to reform his conduct; considering that and the shortness of the latter cohabitation ; also the nature of the charges, and the fact of the rapid commencement of legal pro ceedings ; but more especially considering that the Court was not sufficiently judicially satisfied that Mrs. Snow's return to the house of her husband would not lead to the ' renewal, on his part, of the alleged outrages towards her. Con sidering all those circumstances, the Court was of opinion that no bar existed to Mrs. Snow's pursuing her suit. Before pro ceeding to the articles of the libel, one observation seemed ne cessary, which had no reference to the practitioners in that Court, but to the public. It was not to be considered that the Court, in the remarks which it applied to Mr. Snow, had any opinion as to the truth or falsehood of the charges ontained in the libel. They were ex parte charges, and the Court was bound to consider them as true in the present stage of the pro ceedings ; but it would be unjust to Mr. Snow if they were taken as true, except for the purpose of see ing if they were sufficient to form legal ground of complaint. Now, with respect to one particular article, one of the objections raised is a generalobjection to separate. It was sa id th a t a c h ar ge . at common lawcould not be preferred in e ases o f thi s d es cription. But the Court en tertained considerable doubt how far that objection, even con. 1 he Court then proceeded to hear some cases. ...........-- sidering it f oun d e d i n f ac t, — with reference to the contents of this article, ought to prevail. When charges came on inci dentally, the Court ought to admit them, for the purpose of their being ultimately decided, on, when the Court came to hear evidence on the matter. Looking at every article in this libel it did not appear that the charges were preferred with a view to accuse Mr. Snow criminally as at any part of his conduct. The Court, therefore, would not admit those objections. As to the particular objections, it appeared that the objection to the 6th ar ticle was well-founded, as that article merely referred to a few harsh words from Mr. Snow to his wife. The 7th article was not objected to. The Bth article also only referred to words, and the obje c ti on to i t must be allowed as va lid. The objection t o t h e 9th article ad m it te d o f some o b s ervation. In that article it was stated th a t M r. S now. on l eav ing his wife on one occasi on , used words to the effect of expressing a wish to find Mrs. Snow and her boy laid out—weaning thereby a desire to find them dead. That article he considered as admissible. The 10th article 3 eferred to offensive language on the part of Mr. Snow, when he told his wife that he married hut to pet into her circle of society, &c. In a suit at law, instituted on account of cruelty aline, it did o!jection roust be rejected. not appear to the Court that such charges had any bearing on c a i r e t i , et]: which i s , io:bofbe objection 0 n to, i, a b d u t be t e h n e of it Mr. Snow to his wile, in the case, and that article should t h m e a re d f e o , re th b e e slat:tie; p o a u t t t . tides 11, 12 13, and 14 were not objected to.

In the month of May, 1841, Mr. and Mrs. p botha n i e thed by g rls their a n family, m one i l y o , f consisting is boysting of being tw i o n gdierlliscaatned two hea Snow went t o res id e a t T w i c k en ham, in Middl esex, accon,.. th b . oy 3 . t appeared that one of the girls was labouring under a flo w of 1 blood to the head, for which she had been bled in the jugular . . vein, and that, contrary to t h e re p re sent a ti ons of Mrs St'Low, he took the girl in a boat and plunged her into the river. The article must undergo reformation with respect to all these pats . ; and by leaving out these facts, the general delicate health of the 61111.1rn may be pleaded, and also that ono of them had become seriously ill, and also the declaration of he husband on that occasion wills respect to the probab!e death of his child, because that detearation being made in the presence of Mrs. Snow, consti tuted a charge of a legal nature. But the rest of the article must be expunged. The 28th article, as to the death of the children, was competent to be ph aded, because, as in conse quence the health and spirits of Mrs. Snow became affected. The article was impartial in this point of view, that any future cruelty on the part of Mr. Snow would produce worse effects in consequence of this state of health of Mrs. Snow. The 29th article was of a general nature also. The 30th article was not objected to. To the 31st there was a very slight objection. The 32d, 33d, and 34th articles were not objected to The 35th article he had carefully considered. That was the article which pleaded the long conversation ; and looking to the whole of it, he thought he was bound to admit it. The purpose for which it was pleaded was to obtain something like an admission from Mr. Snow as to the acts of cruelty alleged to have been committed by him. He should leave that article as it was, as the result would be to show, as it now stood, the very qualified admission of misconduct on the part of Mr. Snow. The 36th article was that which gave rise to the judgment he had already pronounced on the merits of the case. It was objected to only on general principles, and not as to the words ; and here he would take the oppor tunity to observe, that in the opinion he delivered as to the ad missibility of the libel, he did, as was suggested by the Learned Counsel, feel himself bound to take in consideration the words of Mr. Snow, in which he expressed deep regret for his cruel treatment of his wife, and in which he proposed to control his temper. It undoubtedly appeared to him that the language was well worthy of consideration, because it ma•'e a distinction between the present case, and the ordinary case of continued cohabitation. He had already pronounced an opinion on the libel as it stood, but if any other evidence appeared different from that pleaded in the libel, the Court would not be precluded from reconsidering the libel. With regard to the 37th and 38th articles, he had before sug gested what was to be done with them. Dr. HAGGARD said the only thing he wished to know was whether the whole of the last part of the 19th article was to be struck out. Dr. LUSIIINGTON read the passage in the article which he intended should be struck out. INSOLVENT COURT-(T HIS DAY) The Court was occupied during the entire morning in hearing bail cases, of which there was an unusually large number upon the list, and applications, in which there was not the slightest feature of general interest. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET.-(TIIIS DAY.) A sturdy-looking man, named Rowell, whose appearance was decidedly foreign, was cha'ged with the following assault.— Thomas Helbourne, the complainant, a young man, who bore evident marks of ill-usage on his face and person, commenced— " I was a going through the cuurt and I meets Mr. Rowett— " Stop, atop," said Air. TWYFORD, " tell us first who you are, and what court you are alluding to ?" Complainant-I'm a labouring man, Sir, 20 years of age ; Rowett's a shoemaker ; its the court where he and me lives, Angel-court ; well, as I was going up the court I meets Mr. Rowett, he comes up to me and axes me what I had to do with his daughter, 1 told h m if his daughter bothered me I'd kick her ' • he ups with his fist, km,cks me down, and jumps on my b e lly, and bites a hole in my breast, which (unbuttoning his waistcoat, and exposing a broad hairy chest) I've got it here to show. Mr. TwvFown—Well, but have you had anything to say to his daughter ? Complainant—Why, about a fortnight ago I was a going through the street, and whenever I goes thro' the street this here gal tails arter me wherever I goes, and says, " There goes Irish Tom," vich I arnt no Irish at all. The gal she's about fourteen years of age. I told her if she did not take care, I'd kim k her. The prisoner, who, we learnt from his speech was a Welsh man, and had formerly been in the I.' division of police, said, " Tat is te trut ; I meet him last night, and I say what tat'tween you and my daughter tat Sou say you kirk her. He say, Yes, and I'll do to you te same.' He then struck me, and I hit him again in my own defence, and peing te strongest man, I knock him down, but not kick him a pile—pon my word and hnn-nare. Mrs Mary Anne Sales, a comfortable-looking matron, "fat, fair, and forty-five," said she had gone to call upon Mrs. Gibbons, the lady where the poor young manlodged. She was up stairs in the first pair back, a partakin' of a very nice cup o' green tea and a muffin, with nice salt butter on it, when they heard screams and cries of " murder" proeceding from down below. Aim Gibbons says, " !suppose that's Rowett a beatin' his wife again ;" so we went down into the court, and there we see him, his two daughters, and his wife, all a ill-using the poor fellow, and his hair was standing all on end, " like quills upon the fretful porcupine." They call him Irish Tom, be cause he lodges with Irish peopl e; but h e arn t no Irish, he's a west of England lad. It's a dreadful thing, Sir, and worry cruel for the father of a family of children, to hit a young man of twenty years of age, and bite his chest. I'm the mother of a family myself, and I should not like to see one of my children used in that way, poor things. Mr. HALL imagining, we suppose, that Mrs. Sales had gone on quite long enough, here somewhat abruptly interrupted her by askiag the prisoner if he had anything more to say ? The prisoner slid he could say noting more, only that the last witness was not in a place at all to know nothing about it. If the Magistrate would look over it this time, such a thing should not occur again. Mr. Twvroan—You did not fight like an Englishman, in a fair way, but you must throw the complainant down, kick him, and kneel on his belly. I should have committed you for as saulting him in a brutal manner, if you had not expressed some penitence at the circumstance ; as it is, I shall fine you is., or commit you for seven days.—The fine was immediately paid. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. culls I)AY.) Mr. Alexander Pooley, a builder in a very extensive way of business, was charged w:th coinmittirg a most violent and unprovoked assault on Mr. Thomas Burrows, of Castle-street, Leicester-square, plumber and glazier. The complainant stated that yesterday evening, as he was passing through Sidney's alley, Leicester-square, he met the defendant, who, with out a word passing between them, flew at him, and struck him a heavy blow on the right side of the head, and then another on the left. Complainant did riot offer to return the blows, but kept his arms down, and told the defendant he would i of fight, as he should take the law of him. The defendant then struck him twice more, and on his getting into Princes• street, hit him four times very heavily about the head, and was about following up his attack, when a polic-constable came up and secured him. Mr. MALTBY asked if Mr. Burrows had any previous knowledge of the complainant?—Complainant said hr had for merly been engaged in some building speculations with defen dant's father, and that disagreements had arisen through some money transaction. The defendant admitted that he had struck the complainant in the manner described, but urged that he had received great provocation. The tact was he was walking with his wife when he met the complainant, ssho insulted him by making offen sive gestures and calling him a robber. The complainant made apractice of abusing and insulting him whenever he met him in the streets. The compiainant said that he had not spoken to the defend ant for upwards of a twelvemo n th. Mr. MALTBY said that no provocation could justify the as sault complained of, and that he should therefore impose the highest penalty the law allowed, viz., 5/., or in default of pay ment two months' imprisonment. ELECTION COMMITTEES.- BOROUGH OFWEYMOUTH AND MALCOMBE REGIS. The Committee app - inted to try this petition sat to-day in No. 2. The Members were, the Hon. Charles Compton Ca vendish, Sir Phillip Egerton, Therms Slingsby Duncombe; Sir H. B. Smith, Archibald Hastie, Jos. Bailey, Jun., Esq. Cuair man, Patrick Maxwell Stewart, Esq. .The petitioners are Ralph Bernal, of Eaton-place, in the County of Middlesex, and William Dougal Christie, of the Inner Temple, Esqrs. They stated that on the 28th of June last petitioners were gandidates for the representation of this Borough, as were also the Hon. George Augustus Frederick Villiers, commonly called Viscount Villiers, and George William Hope, Esq., of whom the latter two were declared by Andrew Lithgow, Esq., Returning Officer, on the 29th of June, duly elected, having obtained a majority; but that the return was unlawful, inasmuch as the poll was not opened at one booth until one hour after the proper time, whereby many willing electors were prevented from voting for petitioners ; that many votes were improperly rejected ; that many who voted were not qualified ; that others who voted were paupers, some aliens, some felons and convicts, some per sonators of others ; and, finally, that several persons voted for one or both of the sitting Members in consequence of having received " bribes, money, gifts and rewards, meat, drink, and entertainment ;" that others had taken those conside rations not to vote ; and others had offered those inducements to co-electors to induce them to vote for the sitting Members, or not to oppose them; and more over, that systematic bribery, treating, and corrruption were carried On during the whole time ; wherefore petitioners prayed the Committee to declare the election of the sitting Members null and void, and that the petitioners were duly elected, and ought. to have been returned, and that the return be am ndcd accordingly, or that the House should grant such other relief as should seem meet. The close of the poll stood thus:— Villiers 259 Hope Bernal Christie Mr. Austin, with whom were Mr. Cockburn and Mr. Kingley, opened the case for the petitioners, and said the allegations should be tested by a scrutiny of votes. The lion. Mr. Talbot. with whom were Mr. Hodges and Mr. Hope, appeared as Counsel for the sitting Members. Mr. AUSTIN relied, for his clients, en the general illegality of the conch et of the Mayor, who is a surgeon, and of his deputies ; in consequence of which several votes were lost to the peti tioners, as would be proved in the cases of Mr. Templeman, Mr. Clare, and other voters. In the latter the voter declared himself at the booth for the petitioners, but the clerk put it down for Lord Villiers and his colleague ; the Mayor being told of the mistake, erased the entry and put down the vote merely as tendered, but when asked by petitioners to enter the vote as given for them, his Worship said, " Oh, a Committee of the House of Commons must settle that," a prediction which was now in the course of fulfilment. After the election, the petitioners sent in a protest to the Mayor against his conduct, and announced their determination to petition the House of Commons. In short, proof of every allegation would be given. There was a Mr. Bartlett, who had long lived in Jersey ; but somehow or other one William Strickland, well known to all as an ostler, was persuaded fur the moment that he was transmogrified into the person c f Mr. Bartlett, and full of this faith, the ostler went and voted for the petitioners as Mr. Bartlett, the original Mr. Bartlett never having left Jersey all the while. If after the scrutiny of votes, a majority should remain for the sitting Memb. rs, the proof of bribery, treating, and corruption at the Fox, at the King's A rmt , at t h e B ear, at the Globe, at t h e Black Dog, the Coopers' Arms, and other public houses, hotels, and taps, would be amply sufficient to unseat Lord Villiers and Mr. hope; for the connexion between those gentlemen and their agents would be , established beyond a doubt. But first he would go into the scrutiny, and would call Andrew Lithgow, Esq., the returning officer, who produced the poll books, which he got from the town clerk on the 4th of .February; but he got the five books from the five booths, including his own, on the 29th of June, and took them home and sealed them. The election took place on the 29th June. The books hat been unaltered. Mr. TALBOT was about to cross-examine the witness, but Mr. AUSTIN cont en d e d t h at t h e oppos i te couns - I had no right to do so. Mr. Talbot wanted not to examine hire now, but at a future stage. Considerable argument ensued, and the Com mittee ordered the room to be cleared to consider the point. GREAT MARLOW. The Committee appinteei to try the petition against the late return of a Member for the borough of Great Marlow met this morning in the Committee-room, No. 1, shortly after eleven o'clock. The members of th!.?: Committee were, Sir J. Yarde Buller, Chairman ; Sir W. Heatlicofa 1 1 W. Chil ders, Esq. ; Sir H. B. Campbell; the Hon. F. Cowper; Sir J. Mordaunt ; and James P,,wer, Esq. j plc Ceu±sel for the petitioners were Mr. Sergeant Mere wether, Mr. Sergeant Wratigbahl, and Mr. Talbot ; the Counsel for the sitting Member were Mr. AP.Stert) Mr, Cock burne, and Mr. Alfred Austen. The usual preliminaries having been gone through, and Counsel having exchanged lists, Mr. Sergeant MEIIEWETHER opened the case for the peti tioners, He appeared as Counsel for certain electors of Great Marlow, who petitioned against the return of Sir William Clayton, one of the sitting Members for that borough. The elec.ion had taken place on the 2d of July last. There were three candidates, Mr. Peers Williams, Sir William Clay ton, and Mr. Renn Hampden ; the numbers at the close of the poll were declared to be, for Mr. P. Williams, 233; for Sir William Clayton, 170; and for Mr. Hampden, 169 ; leaving Sir William Clayton a majority of one vote only, while two other votes had been tendered in favour of Mr. Hampden. The petitioners alleged that the majority of Sir William• Clayton was merely a colourable one ; that illegal votes had been accepted in his favour, and that good votes had been tendered for Air. Hampden which were improperly rejected. '1 hey further alleged that Sir William Clayton had, by bribery and corruption, unduly controlled the election. The petition, therefore, involved, in the first instance, a scrutiny, and in the second place, it involved the conduct of the sitting Member. He trusted that he should be able to succeed upon the first point, and that it would be unnecessary for him to trouble the Committee with any investigation in respect to the other. The Learned Serjeant having stated that Sir William Clayton, Bart., was charged with the bribery, through his agents, of two individuals in the borough, of the names of Baines and l'ovey, proceeded to say that he was pre pares to bring forward vat ions other cases of corruption and un due influence of electors, into the particulars of which he would not then enter. Mr. AUSTEN contended that the different cases should be stated in order to enable Sir William Clayton to meet them ; a manifest injustice would otherwise be done to him, inasmuch as he would be put on his defence without any previous knowledge of the charges to be brought against him. Mr. Sergeant MEREWETIIER contended that, according to former precedents, he was not bound to state the particular cases, inasmuch as they would go merely to render the election Neil, and would not immediately affect the sitting Member. Mr. COCKBURNE having replied, The room was cleared, and the Committee, acter deliberating for some time, came to the following resolution:—" That it is the opinion of the Committee that the Counsel for the peti tioners having stated it to be his intention to prove the bribery of certain voters, it is necessary for him, in his opening speech, to specify the cases." Mr. ergeant EREWETHER then entered into various details respecting the bribery of certain electors, which he should be ready to prove in evidence. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Vitiaitt eptntost. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. With the exception of a few more observations on the last accounts from India, there is scarcely anything of the slightest interest in the original columns of the Paris journals. The Constitutionnel, alluding to the disasters in India, expresses its regret at the great loss of human life with which the retreat of the British troops was attended, but adds that the lesson is an useful one as a check upon the inordinate ambition of England. The Courrier Francais merely observes on the energy dis played by Sir Robert Peel on this occasion, which is, it says, entitled to general praise. The National thinks the sun of British greatness is setting, for, says this journal, England is isolated in the world; Russia is straining every nerve to embarrass and weaken her ; her alliance with France is at an end ; her empire in th! East is tottering, and she is wasting her strength in a hopeless war against China. The accoupts from the French coast of the disasters occa sioned by the storm of Wednesday night a-e distressing, but those from Granville the most so. Here, upwards of twenty fishing vessels were driven from their anchors. Five were cast on the rocks, and totally wrecked with all their cargoes ; five were driven on to the oyster-beds; and others, though by incredible exertions they were got into the harbour, sus tained great damage. The amount of the loss is estimated at 300,000 f. A great number of the sailors are missing. Some are known to have been drowned, and others have sustained severe injuries. Upwards of 3,000 persons were engaged next morning along the shore, exerting themselves in collecting such dead bodies as were thrown upon it, succouring those who were still alive, but injured, and endea vouring to save as much of the wreck as possible. The old port of Granville has suffered great damage from the tempest. Several small vessels have been lost at the mouth of the Seine, and an English schooner, the Margaret, Captain Corrie, was wrecked near Havre the same night ' • but the crew, six in all, were saved. Several small vessels have gone on shore to the east and the west of Calais, and among them the English collier brig Minerva, Captain Jenny, for Guernsey. The crew were saved. A French lugger was lost with all her crew. At Boulogne several small vessels have been wrecked, and it is believed that the loss of life has been considerable. It is re ported that an American three-masted vessel, name unknown, has been totally lost with all on board. The Madrid Gazette, of the 7th, contains a circular letter from the Minister of Justice, ordering the seizure and de struction of all copies of a work on the " Allocution of his Holiness Pore Gregory XVI. against the hypocritical and malignant manifesto of the Spanish Government " published and printed at Toulouse, in France, by Father Magin Ferrer. The Madrid Cabinet has ordered satisfaction to be given to the French Corsul at Barcelona, fur the insults heaped on the King of the French, by the Republican Constitutionel of that town. PARLIAMENTARY. In the House of Lords last evening no discussion took place, Lord Brougkam having, at the request of some of his Peers, postponed his motion on the proposed income tax till Thursday. Lord Campbell presented a petition from some place in Scot land, in favour of Non-intrusion, and intimated at the same time that he had been requested to support the prayer of the petition ; but his Lordship very properly declined to support either the prayer !Tr the petitioners in their wild schemes. Se veral Bills from the Commons were read a third time. In the Commons the National Floating Breakwater BM was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. The House, after some discussion, divided on the motion of Mr. Mackinnon, for the second reading of the Marylebone Parish Bill, which was carried by a majority of 75, the num bers for the second reading being 206, and against it 131. Mr. Ferrand gave notice of a motion for the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the conduct of manufac turers and master colliers towards those in their employ; and Mr. P. Birthwick gave notice, that after Faster he would call the attention of the House to the state of the metropolitan roads, for the purpose cf throwing light upon them. In answer to a question from Mr. Baring, respecting the machinery by which the income tax was to be enforced, Sir Robert Peel said he must decline gi‘ing any information or, the subject till Friday. Captain Bo'dero announced that it was the intention of the Government to issue percussion locks for the 6,000 troops about to be sent out to India. Dr. Bowring's motion, for an address to the Crown to con tinue the quarantine system in foreign countries, was agreed to. Sir Andrew Leith Bay then brought forward his motion respecting the Kirk of Scotland, which, after a lengthened dis cussion, was withdrawn. l‘lr. Hutt obtained leave to bri-g in a Pill permitting flour, or flour and biscuit to be substituted for foreign wheat secured in warehouses. Mr. Campbell brought forward his motion respecting the constitution and principles of the Church of Scotland, and to inquiry into the causes of the collision between the Supreme Courts of the Church and the Supreme Civil Courts, which, after some discussion, was lost on a division by 77, the numbers being fnr the motion 62, against it 139. Ferrand brought forwarc a motion for a copy of the convictions in York ;and Lancaster of persons guilty of paying their workmen on the Truck • yitem. Dr. Bowring postponed to Thursday his motion respecting the Corn-law Conference. The Earl of Lincoln obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the sale of York House.

At the seventh anniversary meeting of the Statistical Society, held 3esterday in St. Martin's-place, it was stated that the members had increased from 324 to 425, and that arrange. ments were in course of making for more commodious pre mises under the Crown. The statistical inquiries during the past bear had been important. NAVAL AND MILITARY. It is reported that all the oTcers in the rervice of the East India Company now on furlough, except those above tke r..nk of Lieutenant-Colonel, have received orders to join their regi ments in India. The 10th Foot, the 25th from the Cape, and the 29th Regi ments are ordered to proceed immediately to India. X.Alif AND POLI:CM. Yesterday three gentlemen waited on the Lord Mayor at the Mansion-house to complain of a very extraordinary species of swindling to which no doubt many executors daily fall victims. In the case of the deceased parties the swindlers have been in the habit of going to Docters'-commons, examining the will, taking down the names and addresses of the executors, draw in a bill, forging the name of the deceased to it, and suing the executors for the amount. Tie Lord Mayor expressed him self determined to investigate any sue.h of these cases rigorously. Richard Jenkins, a well-dressed young man, was yesterday charged at Marlborough-street, on suspicion of being concerned in the jewel-robbery at Mrs. Alaesham's, Berkeley-square, to the amount of about 4001. The evidence being at present in conclusive, he was ordered to be remanded for a week. The trials of Joseph Wilkes and three others, for the wilful murder of an old man, Mayhew Adams, at Walsall, on the Ist of December last ; and the case of Mary Weston, for the murder of her infant child at Wolverhampton, on the 20th of December, are fixed for trial to-day at Stafford.

LITERAItir ta7llD SCIENTIPIC. On the tempestuous night of Wednesday week Enek's comet was above the horizon of Paris, and if the weather had allowed, might have been seen in the constellation of Pisces, being at a distance of 66,000,000 leagues from the earth. At a meeting of the Royal Geographical Society, on Mon day, a communication from Mr. Schoolcraft recounted the discovery of remains of the Welsh Britons in the Ohio valley of America. One, known as Moundville, on the coast of Vir wnia, 70 feet in height, and composed of two million cubic feet of earth, having on the summit an oak, was, by its cortical layers, probably erected about 1030. SPORTING. The Queen's hounds had a fine field-day on Monday, but an accident to 31r. Hayter, M.P. for Wells, Somersetshire, damped the sport of the distinguished company.

The Duchess de Montebello, the lady of the French Am bassador at Naples, was on the 22d ult. thrown from her horse on coming out of the grotto of Pausilippo, by which she had her wrist sprained, and her cheek much hurt. The complete destitution of the family of the late Theodore Hook may be judged from the fact, that his personal properly has been sworn under the value of 1001.

Moarini, MARCH 14.—1 am sorry to inform you that in telligence has arrived in this town to-day, of the sudden death of the venerable Archdeacon Singleton, yesterday (Sunday) evening, at Al nw i c k C ast l e , t h e res id ence of th e Duke of Northumberland, alter an illness of only half an hour's duration. I am unable to state the particulars of this melancholy event, further than that I learn that the deceased gentleman had been slightly, and only slightly, indisposed during the day, but not in such degree as to prevent his joining the company at the Castle, where he was staying on a visit. • By this event the lucrative benefice of Elsdon, in this county, which is in the gift of his Grace the Duke of Northumberland, will have become vacant. CURIOUS COINCIDEINCE.-011 Friday Mr. J. C. Shaw, of the city of D u bli n Company , received a letter from the city of Mexico, dated 22d January, and a letter from Cal cutta, also dated 22d January. The circumstance is curious. On looking at a map of the world, on Mercator's projection, England forms very nearly the apex of ap isosceles triangle with these two places, as the crowfties.—Liverpool Standard. BOROUGH OF CLITHEROE. The Committee appointed to try the petitition presented against the return of the sitting Member for this borough, assembled in the Committee-rooms, at one o'clock. The Committee was composed f the following Members : Mr. James W. Hogg (Chairman), the Hon. Mr. Berkeley, Mr. Ogle, Sir R. H. Inglis, Mr. Win. Evans, Sir C. B Vere, and Mr. Colville. Mr. Sergeant Wrangham and Mr. Hilliard appeared as Counsel for the petitioner, Mr. Cardwell, of the Regent's Park, for ihe defeated candidate. Mr. Austin, with Mr. Cockburn and Mr. A. Austin, were Counsel for the sitting Member. Some conversation then took place between the different parties respecting the mode of conducting the investigation, when the room was cleared. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) The fresh arrivals of grain have been small. Good Wheat was held firmly at Monday's terms. Barley still very dull. More money was demanded for Oats, as the quantity has been much reduced. Flour met a dull sale. NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL• There was a rod supply of Meat ; the butchers bought ra ther largely, and prices were roily sustained. Of. Game and Poultry we had an abundant supply, but the demand was not l►vely, and prices inclined to give way. Eggs in good demand, at 4s. 6d. to 6s. 6d per 120. COLONIAL MARKET. Prices firm, and a lair business was transacted. Raw Sugar met a fair sale, and holders were firm, West India Brown 575. to 60s. Yellow. 61s. to 695. per cwt. Refined Sugar, standard lumps, 82s. 6d. per cwt. Coffee sold steadily, good ordinary Ceylon, 78$. per cwt. TEA MARKET. The biddings at the public sales Wire lanquid, and a smal part only found buyers, but prices suffered no further decline. Company's Congou, Is. 10 3 / 4 d. cash, e nd Common Free Trade ; Is. 10 1 / 2 d. per lb. TALLOW MARKET. Prices of Russian Tallow firm, with a far demand. P. Y, Candle on the spot 48s. 3d., and 495. Ed. fur delivery in the las three months of the year. SPIRIT MARKET. Rum sold slowly, and prices were barely supported. Brandy less wanted, but prices were firm. THE TORY INCOME TAX. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—We observe that the expected debate in the House of Lords, on Lord Brougham's resolutions, has not taken place, owing to the non-attendance of certain Peers whose presence was thought necessary. We confess we looked with some anxiety to the result of that motion ; we were anxious to know whether that noble body would perceive where the shoe pinched, though at the same titre we must acknowlenge we were not very sanguine in our hopes of their doing so ; or their Lordships, we must be allowed to say, whatever may be their individual and collective sagacity, dignity, and integrity, are not real and experimental judges of the painful effects of a tax upon trade and professions—that is to say, upon human industry, in its countless and varying applications. Still less can they appreciate the odious inquisition by which such a tax on industry will be accompanied. To say nothing of certain other advantages, which the Members of that House already pos sess, a Peer's income is easily got at ; his estate is known; its rent is known ; ar.d the duty on the reortgsge, wherever such exists, may be at once deducted by his own agent from the interest payable. He has to dread no expo ore—to produce no ledger— to uniergo no cross-examination—and can hardly be supposed to understand the adrioy ance, and even danger, which will arise to others from such vexatious interferences with the course of their business. In compliance with the request made to us by several correspondents, who, though strongly attached to the Conservative Ministry, are yet jealous of a tax which is expected to press heavily upon incomes acquired by industry, we republish to-day some extracts from our journal of six-and - twenty years ago; which may, perhaps, be some proof to those who tax us with versatility, that though we change our support of men, we are invariably firm in principles. No satisfactory answer can be given to what we republi:h ; and if the same feeling existed now as prevailed at the time when those articles were first written, no Mini ster would have ever thought of the revival of an income tax under any form whatsover, and to whatever extent modified, otherwise than as a hopeless impossibility. We retain the same opinion as that which we have already expressed, that Sir Robert Peel's finan cial statement is that of a great and capacious mind ; and that he is pre-eminently qualified to relieve the embarrassments of the country, p 'educed latterly by the wretched Government he has succeeded. But perhaps that single circumstance, of his contemplating one grand system, has rendered him less ob servant of the details. We are indeed ready to allow, that however he and his colleagues may have pledged them selves by former declarations never to revive a pro perty tax except in time of war, yet evidently that pledge rested upon an implied supposition, the falsifica tion of which wholly absolves them from a bleach of en gagement for who could have contemplated that the finances of the country should have been so mismanaged, that we should have been continually running into more debt in a time of peace? Such a prodigious fact as this fully and plainly exonerates them from their pledge. The possessors of property which will now become liable should have lo• ked more sharply to the public concerns when these debts were contracted, v . hich it will now be incumbent 011 them to pay off. They have all wed successive Ministries to have their swing, and now they must smart for it. Look, for insiance, at the famous Exchequer -bill ft sod and folly. Look at the sums which have been advanced under pretence of as sisting the public works. We will venture to say, that of one million and a half sterling advanced in two cases—for the English tnnnel and the Irish workhouses—on securities the most glaringly fic'itious, not one farthing, principal or interest, will ever be repaid. These promising concerns a e the produce of Mr. Spring Rice's skill and integrity—qualities on the score of which he has contrived to obtain a greater sum of rewards fur himself and his family than perhaps any other man in the kingdom. It must not be supposed that we disap ; rove, under the present necessity, of a property tax. We do not; but we must put in a strong petition that every other possibility which the science of finance suggests be exhausted, before industry be taxed. We can assure the Government, that there are thou- Sands of persons deriving large returns from trade and in dustry, who would be most glad to contribute liberally to the public exigencies, but who look with horror at the inquisito vial character of an income tax, which would empower a board of Commissioners to overhaul their accounts, and to interfere with the daily operations of their trade or profession. HERALD.—Lord Brougham may contend that his resolu tions are not condemnatory of the income tax ; and he has doubtless introduced language into the third resolution which will verbally support such a view ; but if these resolutions, taken as a whole, do net mean opposition, then is the majority of them mere declaratory verbiage. If the Noble and Learned Lord be not hostile to the Government proposal, out merely seek to amend it, by limiting its operation to income derived from capital, and by greatly relieving income the result of labour, it was surety unnecessary to overwhelm a resolution, affirming so wholesome a proposition with an abstract dictum on the general inexpediency of resorting to an income tax. While we can anticipate no benefit from the House of Lords being thrust into a premature discussion of the income tax, before the details—more especially the important portion which relates to the mode of collection—have been übmitted to the House of Commons ; and while we think Sir Robert Peel s acted most prudently in declining to reply to Mr. Baring's questions last night—still we trust that Government. will not refuse to make all such substantial.improvements in the plan, which on riday will be laid before the House of Commons, as may be suggested, and that without reference to the quarter whence they proceed. The p eople are willing to make the sacrifice asked by Government; but we protest against that willingness bei' g make the instrument of inflicting unnecessary hardships. Simplicity will be purchased too dearly at the cost of domestic suffering. ADVERTISER.—If the smallest income be to bear its proportion of the burden of the state, it must also have its fair proportion in the representation. Vie contend that the larger incomes, under existing circumstances, ought to bear a greater propor ion of the tax than the smaller, in the same manner as Incomes derived from landed or funded property ought to bear a greater proportion than those accruing from professional or industrial effort, and hereditary incomes greater than those ter minating with the life of the individual. If Sir Robert Peel had admitted these provisions in his scheme, it icon d have come with far etts nger recommendations to the public. It is not too late for the HMls° of Commons, " such as it is," to enforce them on his attention. The turgid rentals and capitals of the country, so urgent in their claims fur legislative protection, ought undoubtedly he made to pay extra for that extra secyrity of which they profess to stand in so much need. (in this point of the question we are gratified to quote the opinion of an opponent, the Standard, who, expressing itself is ith a different intent, remarks—" Taxa tion, to be just and equal, must carefully guard against dis placing any man from his position, and it is obviJus that the payment of 41. 10s. by the po , stssor of 15('/. is more likely to msplace him from his position than the payment of 6/. by the po:scssor of 2001, a year." Y es , an d our C ontemporary mighthaveadded,thepaymetit of 2001., 6/. is more likely to displace from his position the possessor "'OO/., than 600/. would the possessor of 10,0001. Of the inquisitorial tendency of the tax we must reserve our commentary, which, however, must ne cessarily be reserved until the Prem er announces his scheme of assessment, in which, if most scrupulous care and attention be not given to the position of merchants, manufacturers, and traders, the whole scheme, so plausible in the outset, must fall to the ground midst the general execration. CHRONICLE:. —A tax on property ve sted in land, or the funds, and ret urn i ng a certain income to the possessor, may be ssesse I. with fairness, and collected without vexation. It is when y-u att tms t t o reac h th e i ncom e arising from trade or professions ; when you inieltogate men as to their own ga'l l3, or endeavour to collect the inforMation from their neighbours! that the odiousness and oppressiveness o req tax begins. And certainly it Is a monstrous injustice that estate in tee andanve the estate fur life should lie lorniptiled to Vtaribute t he amount ; and still more that. k 44 should take the:. same phrOa; and p rat portion of the i ncome arising from a tik_Vd *Orel . resulting from- th e uncer t a i n and tratitlizi J oCtree brn er a labour or business. The incomes do not fett r el i t u dg same capital. An ine o rn e o f 1,000/. a year in fee, in t" or land, would sell for about 30,090/. For a life-in:Zers' if 1,000/. a ye ir, from the same sources, Po else eould get fl as much, even in the prime of health and MA 3 i r e,: very old or feeble man could not get more for it than wi".; or five years' purchase, or sometimes even less. jilt income arising from a man's yearly gains represents even less capital. A momentary decli n e of profit from ill-he h, from the success of a competitor, or from a cessation of B e neral demand for a particular commodity, or a pa rtieull! species of servie,e, rosy even during the lifetime of the owner greatly reduce, or even annihilate it. The three men have, to fact, three different amounts to dispose of out of the same !I t ; come. While the first may, without any imprudence, sPr" - __, his whole income every year, and will leave his heirs the Sa o fortune that he possesses himself, the other two, if they wi' h t make any provision for those who are to come after thews save a portion of their receipts; and of these two, the prote-- fo . sional or commercial man must, and always does lay by the larger proportion, if he hopes, as most such men do, at sontelPe riod or another, to retire fr om the drudgery of money-Iwsk ie g .
