BRITISH, PLANTATION SUGAR.—The sales this week have amounted to 2,500 hhds., and prices are Main tained. About 180 hhds. of Barbadoes have been sold at 58s. to 61s. 6d. per cwt. for good and fine qualities. FOREIGN SUGARS.-There is an improved demand for these Sugars, but holders demand too high prices. Havannahs to the extent of 1,300 boxes have been sold at 245. to 265. 6d. per cwt., which is rather lower. EAST INDIA SUGARS:-The sales have been at a shade lower in prices. The arrivals have been about 20,000 bags this week. The Company's Bengals have sold heavily. Foreign qualities are in demand, and Siams are at an advance of Is. to Is. 6d. per cwt. Manillas are worth 245. per cwt. REFINED SUGARS are lower, and heavy fine crashed is at 31s. 6d. per cwt. COCOA.—There is a decline of Is. to 2s. per cwt. in Red Trinidad. Rum.—The market is heavy, with little doing. RICE.—The market is slack, and the sales have been considerable. About 4,000 bags of Bengal have been partly sold at l ls...__6d. to 14s. 6d. per cwt. COFFEE.-British Plantation Coffees are lower, full 2s. to 3s. per cwt. for fine Jamaicas, but a very large quantity has been taken in ; good middling Jamaica has brought 925. to 945. ; fine to fine ordi nary Domingo 81s. 6d. to 84s. ; and low to coloury middling Berbice 80s. to 85s. The Continental markets for foreign and East India Coffees remaining, generally speaking, very depressed, causes a similar flatness in ours, and the sales of this latter descrintion, containing 1,508 bags of Sumatra and Samarang, have gone off at a decline of Is. to 2s. ; very ordinary dingy to low good ordinary 41s. 6d. to 445. 6d. ; and good to bright good ordinary 455. to 465. Good ordinary green Samarang 50s. 6d. to Ms. The different parcels of foreign put up to sale, embracing 1,258 bags Brazil, and 180 bags of St. Domingo have been entirely with drawn, almost without any bidding, the former from 60s. to 61s. for good to fine ordinary, and the latter at 58s. for bold good ordinary pale. There has been a demand for East India descriptions, by private con tract, for France, and about 2,000 bags have been done from 545. 6d. to 555. for good ordinary Ceylon ; 445. to 465. for ordinary to good ordinary Sumatra ; and 535. to 555. 6d. for low fine ordinary Batavia. SPICES are steady. Cassia is not so much inquired for, and might be bought on rather easier terms. Five casks of good to fine second mace sold from 6s. 7d. to 7s. Nutmegs are 2s. to 3s. per lb. cheaper. Pep per and Pimento are steady. COTTON.-This morning, by public sale, about 1,300 bales of Surats have been offered publicly, and in gene ral have been sold at lower prices, considering the quality, which was not the best. The sales during the week have amounted to about 800 bales, at steady prices. TALLOW remains very steady at 445. per cwt. There is not much doing. TEAS.—The trade continues very active, and at a profit of about 1/d. per pound. SALTPETRE.—Within the last month there has been a decline in this article of full 5 per cent. A new feature has presented itself in the Market by the ar rival of Saltpetre from Alexandria, a new manufacture there, and tending to show the increasing importance of the trade to Egypt. It is of as good quality as the best Calcutta Saltpetre, and the best samples have realized full prices, viz., from 265. per cwt. The sales last week of East India qualities were about 800 tons, but this week very little has been done. The Market altogether is very dull. WooL.—Since the conclusions of the late public sales there has been some private transactions in Spanish Wools at rather improved prices. A feeling is still indulged that the present heaviness will only be temporary. THE DUNDEE STEAM-SHIP.—ThiS mag nificent vessel left her moorings at the entrance of • the London Docks on Wednesday night, after taking on board a very extensive cargo of mer chandise, fifty passengers, several carriages, and a great number of horses. Since the arrival of the Dundee in the river on Friday morning not less than 20,000 persons have inspected her. This splendid vessel has produced a fine harvest for the watermen, who say that during the memory of the oldest of them no object on that part of the river has attracted so much attention. Almost every individual connected' with steam navigation in the metropolis has visited the Dundee, and they have all declared that she is the most complete specimen of naval architecture ever se en in this country. The size of her berths, the ac commodation for families requiring large or small state rooms, and the elegance of her saloon, called forth universal admiration. THE COLDSTREAM GUARDS.----REGIMEN TAL ORDERS. —Frequent complaints have lately been made of the 2d regiment or Coldstream Guards wear ing their side arms by order of the commanding-officer, Colonel Mackinnon, when off duty, as several accidents have occurred in Westminster in consequence of the privates having made use of their ba y onets while in a state of intoxication. It is rather singular that, by the military orders issued last week, and which came into operation yesterday, the private soldiers of this regi ment, in addition to their side arms, are directed to provide themselves with sticks or canes, without wh ich they are not to appear in the streets ; and yesterday every soldier belonging to the Coldstreams sported canes and sticks of every description that suited his fancy. There are no orders given with resrect to the privates of the Ist and 3d regiments of guards—they are at liberty to wear their side arms or not, as they please, in the streets when off duty, COURT CIRCULAR. Prince George of Cambridge, accompanied by his preceptor, the Rev. Mr. Wood, arrived in town about one o'clock yesterday afternoon, from Dover. About an hour after his arrival lis Royal Highness, accom panied by the Rev. Mr. Wood, left Cambridge House for Windsor Castle, on a visit to their Majesties. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday _afternoon, at the residence of Viscount Althorp ; it was attended by the Lord Chancellor, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Earl of Ripon, Earl Grey, Viscount Melbourne, Vis count Palmerston, Mr. Secretary Stanley, the Duke of Richmond, the Earl of Carlisle, Sir J. Graham, Lord Holland, and Lord John Russell. The Council sat in deliberation about three hours. A deputation, headed by Mr. John Irving, had an interview yesterday with Mr. Lefevre, at the Colonial., office, on business relating to the Mauritius. M. Van de Weyer, the Belgic Minister, transacted business yesterday at the Secretary of State's office for Foreign Affairs. Mr. Burge, the agent for Jamaica, and Mr. Burnley transacted business yesterday at the Colonial-office. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat yesterday morning in the Council Chamber to hear ap peals. The Lords present were—Lord Wynford, the Right Honourables Sir L. Shadwell, Sir J. Parke, Thomas Erskine, Sir Alexander Johnstone, and Sir E. East. The Attorney-General addressed their Lordships in support of the award of the Commissioners for French claims, in the case " Drummond v. the Com missioners of French Claims," which had been part heard at a former meeting. . . Dr. Lushington replied on the part of the appel lants. The Vice-Chancellor gave judgment on the part of their Lordships. The appellants claim, as the representatives of James Drummond, .a descendant of John, Earl of Melfort, who left the country with James the Second, and was created a Duke by James whilst in France. The Duke of Melfort's son followed the fortunes of the Stuarts, and married a lady in France, to whom belonged the estate in question. The Duke's grand son married, and was buried in France, and James Drummond was his son, and at one period held a com mission in the French service. His property (the estate) was sequestered by the French Government in 1792, as that of an emigre, and was afterwards sold in 1794. Could James Drummond be entitled to the benefit of the articles for compensation to British sub jects according to the convention between the British and French Governments in 1815 ? or was an act of violence unduly exercised towards him as a British subject? James Lewis Drummond, in 1792 and 1794, was a French subject. It was certainly true that he was still a British subject, and had he been taken bearing arms during the war between this country and France in 1780, he would have been liable to the punishment of high treason (though it was unlikely that so harsh a proceeding would have been adopted). Still, however, James Drummond was a Frenchman, and the act of violence perpetrated on his property was avowedly done because he was an emigre. Their Lordships, therefore, could not reverse the decree of the Commissioners, and therefore dismissed the ap peal, but without costs. MAILLARD V. KING'S ATTORNEY-GENERAL-MAURITIUS. Dr. Lushington stated the case for the appellants. Certain lands in the vicinity of the sea-coast of the Mauritius had been granted by the Crown, subject to conditions of planting with trees, and keeping flocks of cattle upon it ; the parties to whom the grant were originally made are all deceased, and proceedings were then instituted against the widows' heirs and successors for the non-performance of the conditions of the grant, and also that the land in question could not be sub. divided. The decree given has confiscated the pro perty. From this decision the present appeal is brought. At the conclusion of Dr. Lushington's address, their Lordship's adjourned. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

DR Ur P Y-LANE THEATRE. The long-promised tragedy of Sardanapalus was brought out last night at this theatre. The drama, if not the finest, is certainly the most characteristic of all Lord Byron's, for it is evident that in the sentiments which he puts into the mouth of the Assyrian Monarch he had an eye to his own turn of thought and feeling. The play, indeed, like the poems of the noble author, is throughout an elaborate defence of selfishness and sotisrn. All that should redound to the discredit of , Sardanapalus, such as his habitual effeminacy and wilful abandonment of the interests of his subjects in the engrossing pursuit of his own pleasures, is so con trived as to tell in his favour. He is made to challenge our admiration of his slothful voluptuousness, because by the indulgence of such a habit he has saved his country from the horrors that must be entailed on it were he addicted to war and glory. Just as if there was no mean between the two extremes—as if a monarch might not cultivate the arts of peace without degrading himself by the most abject vices ! History, in this respect, has taken a better measure of the cha racter of Sardanapalus than Lord Byron. History has drawn him as he' was ; Lord Byron, as he wished him to be. The one has consigned his name to con tempt; the other held him up as an object of admiration. We-side with the historian. Mr. Macready's per forriance of Sardanapahts was effective as a whole, thoagh marked by his usual startling mannerisms. His first entrance on the stage was very ill conceived. He is supposed to enter in the midst of a banquet, accompanied by his " eloqiient lonian" slave, Mgrrha, and surrounded by dancers, musicians, cup-bearers, concubines, &c. On such an occasion he would na turally enter with a light, buoyant step, and coun tenance lit up with sunny glee, yet Mr. Macready came on with a thoughtful brow and formal tragedy strut, rather as if he were walking at a funeral, than presiding at a banquet. His voluptuous, half femi nine attire, and brows crowned with chaplets (after the fashion recommended by Anacreon) contrasted somewhat grotesquely with this solemn mode of en trance. He redeemed himself, however, by the ready way in which he dropped into the character, when contrasting the services which Bacchus had conferred on mankind, with the showy, useless conquests of Se miramis. This part of the dialogue with Salamenes, was given in a very laughing, jocund spirit, and came neatly and trippingly off the tongue. But unquestionably the finest thing Macready did last night was his de livery of the dream, one of the most thrilling passages to be found in all Byron. He expressed awe and shuddering affright with amazing truth and power. His convulsed look—wild, glaring eye—palsied limbs, and outstretched, quivering hands—all spoke the being who in slumber had sate at the ghostly banquet with Nimrod and Semiramis. This part of Mr. Macready's performance had just the fitting effect on the audience. They did not give vent to their feelings in cold, hollow rounds of applause, but by an intense, universal hush. Miss E. Tree made a tender and gentle Myrrha, full of grace and melancholy. But there was not enough of the lofty impassioned soul of Greece about her. Her allusions to " lonia" did not come swelling up from the heart ; they were tamely and coldly delivered, as if not rightly understood. Cooper's Salamenes was excellent, well conceived, and well executed through out. Had it not been for the relief afforded by this bold, animated character, the play would never have survived the night. We should not omit to state that Macready's delivery of the very significant passage— _ " Please you to hear me, Satraps, And chiefly thou, my priest, because I doubt thee More than thesoldier," was received with three distinct bursts of applause. The scenery throughout was splendid, and the last scene, representing the funeral pile of Sardanapalus, and the ruins of the blazing city, with its palaces and temples shaking and crashing in all directions, was one of the most magnificent stage-effects we ever witnessed. On the whole, the play was successful, though, to speak the truth, it is a very heavy, linger ing performance, and, except towards the close, sadly barren in incident and interest. From first to last it makes no perceptible way, but creeps on with a snail like progress. There are too many " sayings," and too few " doings "in it. Action is suspended, in order that characters may talk ; and when they do talk, we are surprised and vexed to find, how little their reflec tions are to the purpose. All this is the necessary result of Lord Byron's adherence to the Unities, which we are now more than ever convinced are a rank humbug. At the end of the play, a picturesque view of Newstead Abbey was exhibited by way• of drop scene, painted for the occasion by Stanfield, but evi dently in great haste. The house was crowded to suffocation, and the piece announced for repetition by Cooper amidst general applause. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S. There was very little done en the Derby yesterday afternoon. Bubastes and Bentley were not in any demand ; and so little desire was evinced to back Shilelah that at one part of the afternoon Plenipo was backed even against him ; at the close, however, he was a point a-head of him.

We regret to learn that a Noble family in our immediate neighbourhood are likely to be involved in some litigation, which will tend to throw a shade over the name of a Noble Peer, recently deceased. Certain incidents in the life of his Lordship, which were never intended to be made public, are said to be so immediately connected with the affairs in question, that they must inevitably become a common topic of conversation in the county. Deprecating, as we do most sincerely, everything which can conduce to the inconvenience and discomfort of the respected family in question, we yet hope that some circumstance may transpire, calculated to hush the tongue of rumour, ere it has wounded the peace of a bereaved widow, and the pride of a hi g h- sp i r i te d young nobleman. — Maidstone gazette. HYDE PARK AND KENSINGTON GARDENS. I The alterations in Hyde Park and Kensington-gar dens previous to the interv'ed laying out of the latter, are fast progressi to uarL ompl et ion, and will, when finished, render that f.,vour:te prcsruenade of the haul ton one of the most b , autiful gard n, in F.urope. Last year upwards of two thousand trees were cut down in the gardens, but so thick were the plantations that it was found necessary to fell upwards of the same number this year, making about .i,OOO trees cut down in one twelvemonth, yet it would be difficult, had the ground not been disturbed, to find theplaces froin whence they had been removed. Their removal will beyond doubt very much improve the general appearance of the gardens, as by their closeness they greatly impeded the growth of each other, and prevented the rays of the sun penetrating the plantations, so much so, that the ground has been in some parts, throughout the whole year, almost a continned morass. The circular pro jection at the south-west corner of the gardens has been cut th roug h, t h rown i nto the Park, and a low wall run up, , by which the road from the far-famed Rotten-row to the bridge over the Serpentine is made straight, by which the bridge has a much better appear ance than it had from the crooked road they were at first compelled to make on account of that. projection. The trees on the famous Mount near the same spot are to be cut down, and the Mount itself levelled, which will be a great improvement, as it will give a full view of the gardens and bridge, immediately on entering the south gate, though no doubt its removal will be much regretted by its juvenile admirers, having so long been their favourite resort. In the Park also ,sonic hundreds' of the old trees have been cut - down; and a number of young ones planted to complete the rows on the sides of Rotten-row, on the carriage-roaskt44e4.., sington, and in various other parts of the Park, 'Which greatly improve its appearance. The gaidens, when; these alterations are completed, will 'be divided into walks, and a large number of exotic shrubs and of the finest flowers will be planted, which will give them a most beautiful appearance. The timber which has been felled, has just been sold by auction in the Park, by order of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, and the sale, on account of its extent, lasted nine days. The catalogue contained upwards of 1,000 lots, con sisting of above - 1,400 elms, 500 limes, 300 chestnuts, 100 oaks, some of which were of noble growth ; also a number of beech, birch, ash, pine, yew, and hornbeam trees, a few firs, larch, sycamore, and acacias, and up wards of 14,000 elm, lime, chestnut, and sycamore poles, 700 stacks of firewood, and 10,000 faggots. The sale last year produced upwards of 2,0001., and the returns of the sale just finished have been consider ably more, as the timber was much finer. PARISH OF KENSINGTON.—Great dis content has existed in this parish on account of the mismanagement of its affairs by the Board of Trustees, in whom the sole government of the parish is vested. These trustees. (fifty-one in number) are elected for life, the only disqualification being by removing out of the parish, resignation, or not attending the Board once in three years. All vacancies arising from these causes or death are filled up triennially, by ballot, each parishioner being entitled to vote. It might have been supposed that a body so chosen could not have failed in working well, but, owing to an unaccountable supine ness on the part of the electors, the Board of Trustees was, until the year 1831, little better than a select vestry. In that year W. Farlar, Esq., of Brompton-square, was returned, with other independent gentlemen, who, on taking their seats, discovered that the accounts of the master of the workhouse had not been audited for seven years, although the trustees -voted him a gratuity of 20/. per annum for the very correct manner in which he kept his accounts. Several attempts had been made to obtain the suffrages of the rate-payers to ap ply to parliament for a bill to get rid of one-third of the trustees annually, and other improvements—but. thanks to that infamous act (Sturges Bourne's) which measures a man's honesty by the size of the house he inhabits, the reformers have had their objects de feated on the grounds " that it was unadvisable to in cur the expense of costly law making." On Thurs day the triennial election took place to 'fill up eleven vacancies that had occurred in the board since 1831, when the result was three reformers and eight conser vatives were elected. On Monday last, the Rev. William Wilcox, A. M., was instituted to the Rectory of North Wotton, in this county, on the presentation of the Hon. Fulk Greville Howard and the Hon. Mary Howard, his wife.—Norwich Post. Yesterday a new East Indiaman and a steam vessel were launched at Blackwall ; the former from the yard of Messrs. Wigram and Green, and the lat ter from Messrs. Wallace's premises. The Indiaman, which belongs to the house of Messrs. Baring, Bro thers, and Co., was christened the Alexander Baring. She measures 138 feet 9 inches in length, from the stem to the after part of the taffrail ; her extreme breadth is 28 feet 10 inches, and the depth in hold, 13 feet 10 inches. Great pains have been taken to secure an ample stowage. Her stem is decorated with a full length figure of the individual after whom she is named, and beneath is the motto, " Probitate et La bore." She is built on the American plan, with bright sides, resembling closely the New York packets, and a very able crew has been engaged on the temperance plan, or non-allowance of grog or spirituous liquors, which is so successful in the American ships. This will be the first trial of the plan in a British merchant man. The Messrs. Baring have another and much larger ship, to be called the Malabar, building in the same yard. The steamer, which belongs to the Old Margate and Gravesend Steam-packet Company, was christened the Fame. She is adapted for two engines of 60 horse power, manufactured by Boulton and Watt. The Star, a new steamer, belonging to the New Gravesend Steam-packet Company, was also launched, from Messrs. Curling and Young's yard, at Limehouse. Another steamer, to be called the Eme rald, is to be launched next week, for the Gravesend and Milton Steam-packet Company. EXTRAORDINARY PIKE. A few days ago, a man named Thomas Hewett was angling near the church lock, on the river Medway, when he saw an immense fish spring from the water in the basin, en deavouring to leap the upper gates, for the purpose of releasing himself from a confinement he had in cautiously got into by following a barge which had just before passed the lock. Hewett being somewhat alarmed at the noise in the water, and seeing the fish poising himself on the gate just below the foot-board, made towards the spot, but by another effort the fish quickly threw himself back into the basin. Poor Hewett, who had been a long time standing with hook and line without a single nibble,th inking if he could only lay hands on the monster in the basin it would be a most excel lent " bite," threw aside his tackle, and began to look cautiously about for another " rise." Whilst watch ing on one side the fish threw himself out on the other. Hewett ran to that side. but the fish had sprung in again before he could reach it. Hewett, being a true personification of " patience in a punt," was determined not to be easily beaten by one of the tribe of which he had destroyed so many thousands, armed himself with a small landing-net, and took up his position on the foot-board of the gates, waiting cautiously for another jump. He had scarcely fixed himself before he saw the fish sailing towards the gates on which he stood, within a short distance of his feet, It made another spring, endeavouring to leap over the foot-board where Hewett stood. The height being two feet and a half the effort was very powerful, for the point of the pike's jaws came in strong contact with Hewett's shin. He instantly applied his landing net, but to no purpose, as the pike's tail coming first into the net enabled him soon to leap out again. How ever he soon made another attempt, and threw himself' a distance of two feet on the stones by the side of the basin, but regained the water. Poor Hewett's time for going to his work being come (six in the evening), he called to some persons, who were fishing near him, to come and get the jack out of the basin. They tried for some time, but without success. A large stack of hop-poles which were being stacked in Mr. Corrall's field, adjoining the river, tit:U fell with a loud crash, and a person was heard, as if in distress from the poles failing on him. They immediately put their Lam to the opposite shore to render assistance, leaving behind one person, named Horton, to, watch-the movements of the pike. AnzAher 1 man came up with a spud on his shoulder, and they both stood attentively eyeing the basin " frae end to end," -when at length the pike made its last effort lAy springing a considerable distance from the water's edge, and very near to the spot where Hortan stood, so as 1 to enable him to throw himself upon the fish, and in the hurry to get his hand into his mouth. The pike " took the bait" and gave him a sharp bite. Horton think he sh Auld, nevertheless, have lost hip prize, had not his friend of the srud Flunged its nro gQ into the fsh's head. The pike weighed I 41b,--Illaidsione Gwtte. '7 C SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS We have opposed the sudden application of free-trade principles, and particularly a free trade in corn, simply because we maintain that, finan cially, this country and its numerous interests are not prepared to enter into that sweeping competition with foreign states which would be the result of suddenly adopting such a policy; and politically, because, as we have before stated, that, considering our insular position, it would be the height of madness to render this country in the slightest degree dependent upon foreign states for the supply of food. We ad mit that it is the bounden duty of a good Go vernment to secure to the community a perma nent supply of the chief necessaries of life at the lowest possible rate ; at the sane time, it is idle to expect that a permanency of supply and a fixed rate of price in the article of corn can be assured by depending on foreign states, more particularly if we take into consideration the comparative nature of 4 the currency upon the Continent and the currency of this country—coupled also with the great difference in the amount and mode of taxation—facts entirely overlooked by those of our contem-' poraries who weekly inform us that wheat is from fifty to eighty per cent. cheaper in the different Continental. States than it is in Great Britain ; but it does not follow that the continental peasant, who assists in the cultiva , "lion of this *heat, so clieal by comparison; ever partakes of bread prepared from it ; yet in this country, with very little exception, notwith standing the extreme distress that prevails, wheaten bread is the staple food of the pea santry, though their poverty prevents them from attaining scarcely any thing more. Yet it may be said that if corn food was cheaper, the la bourer could spare something for other neces saries. How corn food can be rendered cheaper than at present, when rents and the public burdens are already paid out of the capi tals of land occupiers, we know not ; unless modern political economists have discovered a panacea for all our ills, by turning our arable lands into one vast sheep-walk, and deporting 6,300,000 souls of the agricultural population at one fell swoop, like convicts, to the colonies, simply because of their distress and their phy sical inability to become manufacturers. Let us, in few words, attempt to show the causes which ope rate so differently upon the English and the foreign corn-grower, and then we will proceed to give . reasons for encouraging the growth of corn in our own colonies, in preference to taking it from foreign States, although we protest against a forced system of emigration as totally unneces sary, since the sacred writings and the profane histories of the progress of the world afford abundant evidence of the migratoryinclination of mankind whenever the increase of population or other circumstances pressed upon their natu ral wants or local habits. The corn-grower of the Continent has an advantage over the Bri tish corn-grower, first, in the comparative light ness of taxation and its more equal pressure on all classes ; he has another of equal importance, that is, a stability of the general circulating, medium, arising out of the fact that the cur rency of the Continental States is based upon a metallic standard in silver, whilst that of Great Britain is based upon a fixed standard in gold, at 31. 17s. 104-,d. per ounce. , The mischiefs arising from the inequality of the monetary systems of the Continent and this country *ere entirely overlooked by Mr. Peel when he intro duced his memorable bill of 1819. Then he pleaded that we were bound to restore the na tional standard as in use previous to the year 1773, at whatever sacrifice. But the ancient stand ard, winch was silver, has not been restored, and the omission of silver has augmented unneces sarily and unjustly the sacrifice that has been forced upon us by the operation of that mea sure. In principle it is directly opposed to sound theory. In practice it has been produc tive of the most disastrous effects to the agri culture, commerce, and industry of the nation, without even reference to a partial adoption of one-sided free-trade principles, and the pressure upon all interests arising from the necessity of raising 28 millions annually only to keep faith with the public creditor. But it is not only the pressure of a bad monetary system, and of the public debt, which renders it imperative to keep up the protective system- until these evils are abolished or greatly ameliorated ; but our local taxation has materially tended, with all the above circumstances, to cripple our agricultural interests ; and as we have ex- c , r deemed them the foster parents of our commercial welfare, we would dre:w the at tention of the government to thes e facts, espe cially as it is in contemplation to introduce mea sures for the amelioration of the pressure of the poor laws. It appears from a parliamentary docu ment that the total sum levied as poor rate and county rate in England and Wales, in the year ending the 25th of March, 1826, was 6,966,1571., of which there was levied from land alone 4,795,482/. ; from manorial profits, which may be considered as landed property, 96,8821., which, taken together, forms a sum of 702 parts of 1,000 upon the whole levy of that year. From dwelling-houses the sum raised was 1,814,228/., or 261 parts of 1,000 upon the whole. From mills, factories, &e., 249,9651., or 37 parts of 1,000 upon the whole. The highway and church rates being levied on the same assessment must be supposed to press in the same unequal proportions on these different classes of productive investments. The highway rates of 1825-6 amounted to £1,121,834 The church rates of the same year t 0... 564,388 Which, added to the poor and county rates as above, viz ... 6,966,157 Makes a total of local taxation of £8,6.52,379 ' Since that year these burdens have greatly in creased ; but then it appears that the agricultu rists paid of this enormous sum more than seven-tenths, the owners of dwelling-houses more than five-twentieths, the owners of m;2;ts and factories only one twenty-seventh and part ; whilst the proprietors of capital vested, in stocks placing ;n trade, the funds, mortgages, annuities, personal wealth of all descriptions, nothing whatever. That the -paid actually seven tenths of a local tax, beneficial its o*et cannot be denied, and hewever necessary and may be, upon the producers to the of the first necessaries of life • vet they are all in addi tionif abolished pressure of - the tithes, which, even • ) i s yet doubtful whether it would produce 'any relief, since its amount would, in most instances, be added to the rent. We now presume that we have shown, with regard to a bad monetary system, and the peculiar cha racter and pressure of taxation, that the dif ferent interests, especially . the agricultural, have no chance in competing with thos e o f the Continent or the United States of Ame rica. Therefore, to abolish protective mea,
