the amount of duty, and how it shall be charged,' be c(lines a question. The method hitherto pur suell . 11 S been at so much pee bushel, but it 4 r s Pe'ars to us far better to take the duty, ad (if reilz, at the port .of importation, and not 41 ' 50 much per bushel, and this foe two rea sG" ; lust, because the price of Corn varies ac "tiling to its qualities, and. according to the dud.; and secondly, because by compelling the trtrporier to value his Corm at the port of "Pertaion, the duty would have always the same operation, and the home and foreign 41r . °1 'ee.* be retained on the same equal footing t hat it was the intention of the law to place them. or it is obvious that the value of the corn on Impartation would be according to the price of the day, and thus the dray would conform to cir eAuttelltaces, and become more or less high as the Pnce 01 Corn varied. To illustrate the position, let 118 . tate the duty at 15 per cent.on the value of the it , 6 **.t!, and suppose 100 quarters of corn to be 1001., the duty on that sum would be 151.; if the price of corn should fall, and 100 quarters corn should be worth only 901., the duty would 141 proportion ; but if, on the contrary, the 1/t ice should rise, and 100 quarters of corn be w°lllllol., the duty would rise in proportion, " thus would always bear the same relation to the - value of the corn as it bore at the time the duty " imposed. By these means this great incon "%ifttcP (an inconvenience that appears to us the 44)stPa'rable concomitant of a specific duty on t l te bushel) would be avoided, namely, that by . " 303 1 of the variable price of Corn, the specific ttut lY would sometimes operate as a prohibition, s"Eltimes would give - no protection at all, and terla inlY it might sometimes happen to hit the "a ct medium it was intended, but that result ea " never be calculated upon, and, as far as we " Page, would very seldom occur.

NORTHUMBERLAND ItArt.-goAn —By the post this morning we have received the following from an intelligent Correspondent : Newcastle-upon-Tyne, April 9. A meeting of the Shareholders in the Newcastle and Carlisle Rail-road was held this day for the purpose of appointing Di rectors, at which a Board of twelve Directors was chosen, em bracing some of the most able and intelligent men of business in this country. The skilful and judicious management of the affairs of the Company has been thus eactually secured. The following disposition of the 2,500 shares, which remained after setting apart 500 for the landowners, appeared to have been made—namely, 1,000 had been allotted to Newcastle, 1,000 to London, and 500 to Carlisle; and the whole had been fairly and openly brought into the market, without the slightest at tempt to forward the sale by artificial means. Of the number of shares allotted to Newcastle nearly the whole had been taken, not by mere adventurers, but by persons of weight and respectability, intending to remain permanently connected with the undertaking. Returns of the shares disposed of in London had not been received at the time of the meeting. No doubt, however, can be entertained but that the whole of the shares will be taken in a few days. Private letters from Milan state that the Em peror and Empress of AUSTRIA are expected to arrive in that city towards the close of this month... Their Imperial Majesties will reside in Italy two mouths, and then proceed to Hungary. Report says, that the Coronation of the Empres3, as Queen of Hungary, which it appears has not yet been solemnized, will take place during the visit of their Imperial Majesties to their Hungarian dominions. It. is positively stated that no Congress will be held at Milan, as generally supposed, and that the journey of their Imperial Majesties to Italy ►s unconnected with any political objects, but simply one of pleasure. Ills Royal Highness the CROWN PRINCS of the Netherlands arrived at St. Petersbnrgh on the Qth March. _ _ The marriage of the Princess LOUISA of Prus sia to Prince FREDERICK of the Netherlands, is to take place on the 20th of May. Great consternation was caused at Naples on the 17th, by a report that the lightning had struck the Palace of Caserta. In fact it did strike into the apartments above that in which his MAJESTY was writing ; but he did not evince any alarm, though the shock was violent. The Russian Privy Councillor KoTzcllullET, has resigned the direction of the Department of the Interior, but he continues to be Member of the Council of the Empire.

FROM THE MAINE, APRIL 5.—.111. RUIII., Counsellor in the Aulic Tribunal, and friend of HOFFMANN, has been put under arrest in his own house in Darmstadt, by order of the Go vernakent : his papers are under seal. A very dangerous epidemic has broken out in Scania among the horses, which has already ex tended to the horses of the cavalry in Stockholm. In order to prevent its spreading, the intended encampment of troops in Ladugardsgoerde will not take place this year. The Continental Gas Company have contract ed to light the city of Gothenburg with gas. The loss sustained by the destruction of the Theatre at Weimar by fire is estimated at 100,000 rix dollars ; unfortunately it was not insured.

Letters were yesterday received from Guati mala, dated December 23. Every thing was tranquil, and the Government in a very settled state. Arrangements were making for the junc tion of the two seas, but no particulars had trans pired. Accounts from St. Petersburgh state, that a great quantity of snow had fallen in the Crimea since the month of December, so that sledging was in perfection. The cold varied from sto 10 degrees of Reaumur. The Bay of Odessa, how ever, continued open, and the navigation un impeded. A late number of the New York Gazette says, they can state, upon the most unquestionable authority, that Governor CLINTON has received from the President Elect the offer of the appointment as Minister to the Court of st. James. Letters from Emden say, that the corn ap pears to be almost generally destroyed, as It may be drawn out by the roots (which already begin to putrefy) with little difficulty. The rape seed is also in the same perishing condition, a great many maggots sheaving themselves in the roots and in the stems. The sheep which stood in the salt water nearly all die ; they begin to cough, though they still eat pr . etty heartily ; they soon, however, grow lean, and ere long are un able to walk. • In this state they died off ra pidly. . _ The state of trade in Nottingham was never so flourishing as at present. The town has had au increase of not less than 10,000 inhabitants within the last year ; and the earnings of the operative classes are so considerable that many get from 30s. to 21. per week. At Leicester the weavers are earning from 21. to 31. per week. The town and vicinity of Dumbarton (says a Glasgow Journal) are enjoying their full share of the prosperity of the country. The different print fields and bleach fields on the banks of the Lieven are very throng. Th e g l ass - wor k s are brisker tham they have been for a number of years.

Yesterday the Antirverh . ary Dinner of . this Charity was held at the City of London Tavern, Bishopsgate . street, when a most numerous and respectable party of Gentle men attended for the purpose of celebrating the occasion. At half r paat six o'clock the Duke of WELLINGTON', the per petual President .of the Society, entered the room amid loud applause, and sat dOwn to dinner, ityfoited on his right - hand by Count Munster, and on his left. , by the Baron Stierneld several other, Gentlemen o fi ,diatinCiion were present, and ap peared to take a lively interest in the objects of the Society. After " Non Noltis Dentine" had been sunk by Messrs. Bell ing, Broadhurst,- J olly, Sola, Taylor., Terrell, and Master Smith, the Noble President apologized for his having taken the chair on the occasion, when the Duke of York had been expeetetV to hold that high station, and he stated that other important Imsiness had prevented that office being undertaken by his Royal Highness.. " The King" was then drank, and subsequently the healths of the Emperor of Russia, the Ern . - peror of Austria, the King of Prussia, the King of the Nether lands, the Duke of York, the Duke of Clarence, and the King of Sweden; on which, Baron STIEnN E I.D acknowledged the honour that had been 'hewn to his master by the company. After the Patrons and Patronesses of the Charity had been drank with applause, Count 31 uNsTEit begged leave to propose as a toast the health of the hero who had rendered such great and eminent services to Britain, and he could.not help expressing how happy he felt, in conjunction with the rest of the company, at having for Chairman on that occasion the illustrious individual who had contributed so largely to the honour and glory of England. He begged leave to propose " The health of his Grace the Duke of Wellington." The Duke of WEnatwaTtiN returned thanks for the great honour that had just been shown him ; and observed, that the only consideration that had induced him to undertake the office of perpetual President to that excellent charity was the hope of being useful.--(hear, hear !)—ln his opinion the charities of England reflected more honour on the country than all its greatness and wealth, however powerful or wealthy she might be, and among all those charities he found none so eminent and distinguished as that one, which might justly be called the head of them all : it was on this account, therefore, that he felt peculiar pride in holding so high an office in it as that of Pre sident; and he trusted that, after h av i ng ex p resse d hi s own sentiments on the occasi on , t h e subscriptions of the evening would show how ht ‘, a sense the Company present enter tained of the merits a utility of the Institution.—(Applause.) A list of the Subscriptions wait then read by the Secretary ; among others, we observed those of the Duke of Wellington, 50 guineas, for the fifth time; Count Lie ven , 20 gu i neas; Count Munster, 10 guineas; Baron Maltzhaan, 10 guineas; Mr. Seymour, 10 guineas, exc. &c.; amounting, in the total, to upwards of 7001. . On the Corporation of the City of London being drank, Mr. T. Weasom, M.P., returned thanks, as one of its Mem bers. He felt that he owed much of his elevation and prospe rity, such as they were, to foreigners in prosperity; and he therefore felt it as a most paramount duty, the relieving such foreigners as should be in distress. The Report was then read by the Secretary. It stated, that the Society was at that period at a higher rate of prosperity than had ever previously been known. The sum of 1,1961. had been subscribed at the preceding anniversary —a sum exceeding by far that of any' preceding year on a similar occasion ; in consequence of which, the Hoard, instead of encroaching, as in former years, on the permanent fund, have been en abled to add to it, by purchasing 2501. Stock Three per Cents. and during the whole year the -Committee have been en abled to administer relief, without being compelled to have re course to those painful measures to which they had formerly been driven by necessity. We extract a few of the most interesting passages : " The Board have further to notice a circumstance which is calculated to prove that the oper a ti ons of the Society have of late attracted an increased attention from its numerous friends, by their,having taken a more active part in the last election of Pensioners than on any former occasion. At tha't election, it ap pears that a greater number of subscrib ers voted than at any pre_ ceding period : the highest number of vot es o f Candidates elected having higiiesr been uas in 1824, 182 a t, d 37 th il e , alonwdetshte7.

THE TIT EAT RES. Datit:Y-LANE.--The fine old Tragedy of Thc Fatal Dowry last night restored Mr. MACPEADY to this Theatre in the part of Romont. lle re ceived a very gratifying greeting on his entrance, and the spirit with which he sustained the part throughout rendered it difficult to believe that his recent illness was of so very alarming a na ture as stated in the public Journals.. Romont is one of Mr.MACREADY'S best achievements. Ile gives a masterly outline of the character, and where he exerts himself, makes a powerful im pression. But he is too apt to sink his voice in such a manner as to be absolutely inaudible. We sat near the stage, and at those times could not catch a syllable that he uttered, and we heard several persons near us who felt the same diffi culty. As for the Galleries, they could have no chance of guessing what he was likely to have said, if they had ever so closely attended to the context. Charalois was admirably performed by Mr. WALLACH, who now ranks upon an equality with the best legitimate actors of the day ; he acts from his feelings, and is above the servility of imitation. We ought also to notice the Roehfort of TEnnr, which displayed natural pathos. Mrs. W. WEST made as much as could he made of such a forbidding character as Beau=/le. Nor should the Young Noval of PENLEY pass with out notice. He hit off the frivolous coxcomb with characteristic nicety. Indeed the play altogether was very well supported. We are sorry to be obliged to repeat our complaint against the prac tice of suffering the half-price visitors to enter the Theatre at nine o'clock instead of nt the end of the third act. One of the most interesting scenes of the play, that between Romont and Young Noval, was entirely frustrated last night by the trampling of visitors, the clattering of doors, &c. We are surprised that the Performers do not protest against this offensive measure, which the audience consider as a great nuisance. The old and good practice of not admitting half price till the end of the third act still prevails at Covent-Garden Theatre. COVENT-GA um:N.—The historical play of King John, which has been brought forward with ap propriate costume and splendour at this Theatre, was represented last night, and, in the chief characters, derived due effect from the per formers. Mr. YOUNG follows the track of the late Mr. KEMBLE, whose excellence was conspi cuous in the gloomy. Monarch, with laudable de ference, but without servile imitation, and who rendered the part very impressive. The heroic spirit, gallant ease, and manly humour of Falcon bridge were, as usual, well sustained by Mr. C. KEMBLE ; and it is mach to the credit of the Managers that they have re-engaged Mrs. BART• LEY, whose Lady Constance was marked by energy and pathos that came home to the feelings of a numerous audience.

A Gentleman, well known in the City, undertook, for a considerable sum, that his bay horse, which is 10 years old and blind, should trot eight miles in 30 minutes. The horse went four miles and returned in 38 minutes and 9 seconds. In the last four miles he broke twice. He was rode by Little Davey. HUNTING INTELLIGENCE. On Easter Monday Mr. Berkeley's Stag Hounds again met at Cranford Bridge, when a fine stag was turned out, in the presence of the most numerous field of sportsmen ever ~ .en in that neighbimrhood. The deer, at first starting, went in the direction of Hayes, when he turned for Drayton, leaving Coln_ brook on the right for Staines, where he crossed the river, from thence by Thorpe, and over the wild and open country for Guildford, near which he was run into in the open fields, and safely taken. The chase lasted three hours, in which time 27 miles of country, - in a direct line, were crossed. The horses were very much distressed, and one died on the spot. These hounds meet on Saturday next, for the last time this season. r p e r g e u s s e i s v t e i nogf histl Ie acceptanceir r es MR.
