A. . paper of last evening contained an account of a b 1 - men at Manchester taking away bread from the shy*" '- Hunger, approaching to actual starvation, is at IA7 moment the lot of great numbers of ind us t r i ous , bAid- 1 working, honest men ; and Ivhen such arc the calamitou circumstances of the people, the Legislature, called too, by way of [noel:et-3-, paternal, enacts a law to levy according to thepresent average prices, a duty of 13s. per quarter, or 22 per cent. of the value, on the food of the people. Such an enactment at this time, and after public ex perience has condemned and repudiated a similar law, we can only stigmatise as most unjust and most impious. The authors of the old law might plead ignorance; the authors of the new law can use no such plea; and they will stand convicted and condemned to all time, of know ingly passing a law to keep out food, after experience had demonstrated that the effects of such a law are most ruinous. (11,15:,4:4 At the same time let us state that the new law is a milder injustice than the law it atolisited. According to the averages published yesterday, the duty on wheat under the old law was 27's. Bd., or nearly 48 per tent. of the price—what a mon strous iniquity, while the people are actually starving : under the new law it will be 13s. The duty on barley under the old law• is 225. 10d. ; under the new law it will be 10s. Oats, under the old law, 19s. 9d. ; under the new law, Bs. Rye, under the old law, 19s. 9d. ; under the new law, Os. 6d. The law comes into opera tion from the time of its receiving the Royal Assent, yesterday; and these diminished duties, collected under the old mode of taking the averages, till 4 sufficient number of averages by the new method has been col lected, will henceforth be payable. The declaration of duty on Friday next, we presume, will be the re duced sums we have just mentioned. What will he die immediate effect of the law coming into operation, we will not venture to state with auy positiveness. The average price is 595., the duty is 135.; for the importers to sell with a profit, therefore they must have imported their wheat, and paid all ex penses, fur 455. We should suppose that very little or no wheat has been imported at that price, and conse quently, great as the reduction of duty appears, it will not be worth one straw to the consumer. It such be the case, Sir IZ. PEEL'S law, even before his system of averages ha; come into operation, will be of no advan tage whatever to the public; and his Corn-law is, we fear, a type of most of those other mock reforms hi the Tariff; with Which he has bribed many people to ac quiesce in an Income-tax. In the debate of March 9, Sir It. PEEL says— But what, I again ask, will be the consequence of rejecting this measure? In proposing it I offer a great mitigation of the crib complained of in the present system. Reject it, and what other arrangement can be made? Is the Noble Lord strong enough to carry his duty ?Is any other party strong enough to maintain the existing system, or to give a Corn-law more favourable to the agriculturist? The only alternative is, leaving this question the subject of prolonged agitation and discussion, interrupting all commercial intercourse, disturbing the relations between landlord and tenant, and making it im possible fur any man to know upon what terms he holds his land. This law, therefore, is not described by him as just ; it, is a mere compromise between parties at the moment, the relative strength of which is varying every hour. le proposes the law to mitigate the evils of the old law, which no party, he says, can maintain. He plainly avows that there is no alternative but to accept his compro mise, or submit to that prolonged agitation and discus sion which has made the old law untenable. He pro moted the compromise to put an end to agitation and discussion. He has not succeeded ; he cannot succeed ; the whole Parliament, pass what laws it may, short of total repeal, cannot put an end to agitation and discus sion. His compromise, therefore, is worthless, and his unjust law will not be even momentarily expedient. By his allusion to agitation and to the impossibility of maintaining the laws, he acknowledges a master; but at the same time he will not carry out what that master pres:ribes. Agitation will again force him, or some, other Prime Alinister, to take the question up, and will ultimately be obeyed. To bow to agitation as capa ble of overturning the law, anti yet not to take the law which agitation dictates, is showing a refractory temper, not a discerning mind. Influenced by such a temper Sir How= PEEL has reduced the Legislature to enact an injustice, and to degrade its own character in the eyes of a discerning people, for no other object than to effect a momentary balance or compromise between fluctuating parties. He and his supporters may call that wisdom— to us it appears the folly of a very cunning man. SALE OF THE WORKS OF THE LATE :SIR D. WILKIE, R.A. Notwithstanding the attraction of Thursday's Drawing-room ,n the immediate vicinity, the foul th day's sale of this em:nent artist's effects went off with increased effect, in part no doubt ,swing to the approaching termination of the sale, as alsu to the greater interest which the majority of the sketches poses over those sold on the previous days. Amongst the most interesting objects of this day's sale,- as fetching the highest price;, may be selected the following, ' and to which, in most cases, are affixed the names of the par olia.ers 413.

A novel application of the Arehitnedean screen i for the purposes of ventilating buildings, mines, ships, and, indeed, all places where foul air requires expulsion, and fresh air supplied, is now at ratting the attentio;i of the scientific by reason of the simplicity of its principle, and the certainty of its results. As much of the comfort of the inmates of hospitals and factories der i nds upon the wholesomeness of . the atmosphere inhaled, it must prove a positive boon to those establishments. From the experiments which we have witnessed at the agents to the ingenious inventor (J. Richardson, of Millbank-street, Westminster), we ate fully disposed to call public attention to the merits of this: discovery ere the Legislature finally decides upon the sy,terat of ventilation for the Houses of Parliament, the more so on account of its economy and its not requiring the aid of fuel or great personal attention. Messrs. Day and Smyth, the pa. tentees, have likewise applied it with success in the core of smoky chimneys, and the same apparatus in the summer sea son materially assists in ventilating the apartments, by getting rid of the offensive smell that fills the room when the wind hlovvs down the chimney. Hitherto the course for such an evil has been stopping up the flue with straw or shavings, or by a chimney-board, a remedy much worse than the nuisance, as it prevents a thorough and healthy ventilation of the apartment. By far the best account of the pugilistic contest be tween Broome and Bungaree appeared in Bell's Life in Lon don, in which Journal there is also the most authentic and im partial report (to the extent of two and a half folio coltimns) of the Newmarket Spring Meeting. DREADFUL FIRES.—FirTEEN THOUSAND POUNDS WORTH OF PROPERTY CONSEMED.—Within the last four or live days, we regret to say, several very extensive conflagrationss have taken place in various parts of the provinces, attended witbt immense sacrifice cf valuable property, particularly at Hudderse-s iield, Beaminster, near Bridport, Kid‘lerminster, and Andover , es will be observed by the following particulars, extracted fro, _ u, etteis and accounts received yesterday by the different ins!, tr ance offices in the city :—The fire at Huddersfield ocettr re d on the afternoon of Sunday last at the extensive mills and far story belonging to Messrs. Learoy and Co., fancy woolen factors. . situ- Ate in a 'dace called the Lane, in the suburbs of the town. , • It was art entirely extinguished till two o'clock the f o llowing morn ing. '1 he destruction of the mill is estimated between 1 2,0001. and 13,000/. They are only insured for 8,0001., namely, 5,0001. in the West of England Fire-office, and 3,00 C 1. in the Atlas-office. That at Kidderminster took place at 4 late hour on Tuesday night, and occasioned the total destrts stion of a large manufactory and warehouse, situated near ' the canal. l'he buildings were in the occupation of Messrs. A llcock and Co., upholsterers, and Mr. Law, an extensive he mp manu facturer. The loss is stated to be 4,0001., part only of which is insured. Other destructive fires have happen ed at Cheri ton, in Devonshire, at Morleaton, and at Mal, in Dorset, since Monday last, and many h o uses were destroyed. lsovE AND `menses.—Thursday forest Don an in. quisition was taken before Mr. Wakley, M.P., at. the Geor ge the Fourth, Bagnigge Wells-road, on the bed y of Marg aret Fairfoot, aged 21, who poisoned herself. Ar are Flanning a married woman, residing at Easter. place, said tha ,t About a moo th ago the deceased came to lodge in her house. . Last Tuesday morning, about half-past eight o'clock, she , ,rag in bed, when witness asked her to get up to breakfast. She got up and dressed herself, and remarked that she h; Al some rhubarb to take before she had her breakfast. Wit Incas urg ed her to hi take the rhubarb after breakfast, but she t as jetted, observing that it would do her good if she took it first s Having mixed a powder, that she had in some paper, w t t - Lk! Ater she drank it off.

CATALOGUE, with ENGRAVINGS (Gratis), POSTAGE FREE.—The celebrity of the rich and silvery appearance and extreme durability of the material made ex clusively by ourselves, has induced many attempts to foist upon the public the notoriously deleterious German Silver under the guises of " Albata Plate," " Berlin Silver," &c. &c., against which we especially warn them. Aided by an eminent chemist, we have succeeded in purifying our material so that acids do not afiect it ; it is now so well known and appreciated that it is uniersally superseding silver in all its uses. The genuine metal, which is more durable than silver, can only be had at our warehouses. h. is the same through out, and can be engraved and made in all the various articles that are in silver, from which it can only he told by reference to the stamp.

PIM failures have been so numerous the last few X months in the Linen trade, that the Assignees of the estate of JAMES FERGUSON and CO., Bankrupts, Linen Merchants, of Coleman-street-buildings, put up the Stock for sale three separate times, at the Sale Rooms, Commercial-lane, without a single offer. BROOKS and CO. having been informed of the circum stances, waited on Mr. Stewart, of Ironmonger-lane, the Soli citor, and offered to dispose of the Stock to the Public in six weeks, at such reduction as is necessary to turn it into cash immediately, Brooks and Co. contrary to the first intention, have deter mined to dispose of it to private families, in parcels of five to twenty pounds worth, at an unheard-of reduction.

MERTHYR, APRIL 28.—Yesterday a labourer returning from his work in a level near Clyn !eris Big-pond, as he parsed through the wood which adjoins it, saw a person evidently courting concealment, and dressed in the clothes described as being worn by the matricide ; from this circumstance he im mediately concluded that .it could be no other than Edwards, and gave information to Edward's wife's father, who, accompa nied by his son and the man, proceeded towards the wood. On their way they met another son, and some labourers and miners, returning from their work, who accompanied them to the wood, where, after about a quarter of an hour's search, Edwards was discovered standing with a knife in his hand, peeling a small stick. On their approaching to take him into custody, he made a show of resistance, and would most likely have stabbed some of them, had not a man come up, armed with a pickaxe. The prisoner, swing further resistance use less, threw away the knife, and was conveyed towards Merthyr Some idea of his desperate nature may be formed, when it i stated that it required seven men to take him. On being taken. he toll his father-in-law that it was a good thing that he had been taken that evening, as it certainly was his intention to 'ave murdered him, if not more. that. night. In their progress t.swards Merthyr their numbers rapidly increased, and the pri soner was followed so the lockup-house by at les,st 4,000 peo l le. yelling at him in a trers.endous manner, and expressing their utter horror at the commision of so heinous a crime. . '1 he pritioner wilt be examined and elminitted by the Ma zi,trates on Friday. SUSPECTED MURDER. About five years ago an engineer, named Duncan Crawford, was found dead under very suspicious circumstances, near to the Penny-hatch, leading from the Thames retry, opposite Greenwich, to Poplar. There were marks of violence found upon the deceased, and also a dark circle round the throat, and it also appeared that the body had been thrown over some spiked palings, between four and five feet high, into a pond for merly used as a seasoning pit. In consequence of information received by Sergeant Lovell, 15 It, about twelve months after wards, a man of the name of Scottey was apprehended for the robbery, as a watch case and some seals were traced to have been in his possession and identified at the time as baylng been the property of Crawford, and Scottey was subsequently tried. found guilty of the robbery, and sentenced to seven years' transportation. A tnan who then went by the name of Harry man, who had been seen in company with Scottey, and a man named Tidy, all working together in a mu d b arge , a b scon d e d on Scottey 's apprehension, and had not been heard of until Thursday. when Mr. Mal'alieu, Superintendant of the R divi sion, received information from the high constable of Dartford that a ?erson answering the descriptio n of Harrytnan, but now travelling under the name of James Curzon, was at work at Dartford Creek, and in consequ, nee of a tow that had taken place between his wife and another woman, information had been given that lie was one of the parties concerned in the mur der and robbery of Duncan Crawford. Yesterday the prisoner was placed at the bar of the Greenwich Police Court, when Sergeant Lovell, IS R division, said in consequence of the above information, 1 went on Thursday night to Dartford, and at three o'clock yesterday morning I succeeded in apprehend ing James Curzon alias Harryinan. I was the officer in the case nearly five years ago, when Crawford was found, and have a perfect recollection of s. eing the prisoner in cons; any, on the evening previous to the supposed murder, ts ith Scottey an,: Tidy. I also recollect seeing the deceased, who was an en gineer residing at Rotherhithe-e all, proceeding towards Black heath-hill on Sunday evening-with some friends he was golly, to take leave of on their return to Dartford. I shall prove by the evidence of a waterman, that he did not cross the water from Greenwich until neatly twelve o'clock or, the Sunday night, and that he hod told his friends that he was going le Poplar to see a female. The night was remarkably stormy and wet. (The witness then described the finding of the body of the deceased.) I shall also be able to bring evidence of the fact, that the prisoner, in company with Scottey and Tidy, were rowed across from Deptford to the mud barge lying near the spot where the ho ly was found, and that this took place before two o'clock on the Monday morning, about which time the watchman at an adjacent factory heard scream• of distress, and went out with hiiStntern, but could see no one. The whole party were seen at Deptford again, long before their usual "hour, drinking at the Dog and Bell with some women. Scottey was transpor'ed for seven. years for the rob bery, but was only detained three years and a half, and is now at work on the Croydon railway, and since his discharge has been heard to say, " If he had split he should have made the world squint. Ni'e whacked seven pounds among us." Mrs. Ann Phillips recollected the prisoner hying at her house at Deptford at the time that Crassford's body was found. He then went by the name of Harryman ; Scottey and, Tidy worked with him. Some seals were brought to be washed at my house, which were afterwards identified as having belonged to the deceased. The young woman who brought them said Scottey had given them to her. Mr. JEREMY then remanded the prisoner until Wednesday next. MEETING AT COLNE.

THE Si:lN.—The increased quickening powers of the sun during Spring, by giving an additional stimulus to the circulation of the fluids, is frequently the cause of throwing to the surface of the body the impurities of the blood ; to this fact may be attributed the numerous cutaneous visitations which occur at this period of the year, and which medicine in ternally taken is frequently unable to banish. The extraordi nary celebrity which Rowland's Kalydor, as a purely vegetable production, has long claimed to itself, as a thorough extirpator of Impurities from the Skin, is during the period of Spring most pleasingly evinced ; it never fails of thoroughly cleansing the skin, and is remarkable for inducing a fairness in the com plexion previously unknown EXCLUDED P/.1.01W TEE COLUMNS Or "THE SUN."

THE TRUCK SYSTEM. - - - Arair. 28.—The accounts from the surrounding towns and villages this day represent everything as quiet, and it is satisfactory to state that an arrangement is likely to be come to between the masters and workmen, and that every exertion is to be made to put down the truck system, which robs the men of at least twenty per cent. of their wages. At a meeting of nail-masters, held. at the Hotel, Dudley, this day, it was resolved unanimously that the workmen's list, dated Slay 15, 1838, be continued, subject to a discount of ten per cent., to take place from this date. . That this meetin g , as stated in their circular, dateil April 6, felt reluctant in making any reduction, brit had been compelled to f o ll ow t h ese masters who had been:buying at very'redueed'prlceslor more th . an six months past, but they now hope that' those Masters will . operate with them in supporling, the workmen's list,,in aceord ante with the preceding resolution. That the nail-masters of this meeting pledge themselvei'te 'use every effort to put down :he truck. system, and to employ such workmen as shill Fay infirm Worts against those masters who, take truck, or who shall he diseaarged for refusing to take truck. These reSOlutions have been signeA'by fourteen of the prin, cipal nail-masters, and'go to re-establis;i the old prices; sub ject to a discount of 10 per cent, thus • meeting -the workmen half-way, the late reduction having amounted to 20 per cent. On Mr. Best, one of the masters, communicating the above resolutions to the men, they expressed' their satisfaction at the friendly disposition which the masters had manifested, both as regarded the advance in the prices, but the still more important expression of their opinion in reference to the nefarious truck system, and their . cletermination to co-operate in putting it down. They, however, requested time to communicate with their fellow-workmen, and they accordingly retired for the pur pose, expressing their hearty thanks to Mr. Best for his kind in terference in their behalf. There is scarcely a doubt that the offer of tho masters will be accepted. .VIONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS FROM THE MORNING PAP :RS OF THIS DAY.

LONDON? SATURDAY MORNING. APRIL 30, 1842. The discussion i❑ the house of Lords last •night con cerning the appointment of Magistrates, is quite a jewel. It reflects all the virtues of our partisan legislative Judge; and Government in the most brilliant light. It is a matter of history that from the long period the Go • Yernment had been in possession of the Tories prior to 1830, the bulk of the Magistrates, as well as of all the officers under the Government, were Tories. No man, before 1830, could get any appointment who was not a Tory. When the Whigs came into office, and during the time they were in office, they acted avowedly on the same principle, and, as the rule, placed their own friends and partisans on the Bench, as well as in all public offices. Now, again, the Tories are in office, and they are again having recourse to their old practices. Last night the Marquis of NORMANBY presented a petition from Gateshead, complaining of the late addi tions made to the Magistracy in that borough, and referred to several other instances in which similar• addi tions of Tory Magistrates had been made. The LORD CHANCELLOR defended the appointments, on the ground that the Tories only followed the example of the Whigs, but did not go nearly so far. Between both parties it comes to this—that the Bench is jobbed, and men appointed to administer the laws, and do justice to the people, not because they are fit for the high office, but because they are Whigs, or because they are Tories. Well might Lord Rumen, with that honest indigna tion which he s 9 well knows how to express, say Of such conduct, and say particularly of the LORD CHANCELLOR'S defence of it, that it excited his disgust. He stigmatised it; - too, as unconstitutional ; and he told the Loan Clia - c.3,1,0rt, if he believed what he had said of the Whigs, and thought bar could substantiate his charge, he ought to get some of his friends i❑ the Houst of Commons to impeach the lute Ministers. Such eli mination and recrimination let in a flood of light on the purity of statesmen, not one of whom, whatever may be his professions, cares for the people, but all of whom study 'their party interest, even in appointing Magistrates to administer justice to the people. The practice dis cussed last night is bad enough, but it is infinitely worse, as Lord RAnxou observed, to have it defended by the LORD Q.HANCELLOR. he House nf Commons debated last night for a con siderable time - Mr. ROEBUCK'S proposition to reduce th, duty on professional and trade income, from 7d. per IL , to 31d. The lion. Member's motion was lost by It majority of 146. Mr. GOULDURN'S chief argument against the proposition was, that all taxation was un equal, that is unjust, and he would not, therefore, lessen the injustice of the Income-tax. lie wishes to per petrate as much wrong by taxation as possi ble. He also urged that some incomes derived from trade, such as those of established banking-houses, were as secure as those of landed property, and that it would only be adding to the injustice to exempt such incomes from the full weight of the tax. Mr. GouLatmies statement proves that the measure is more anomalous and mischievous than was at first supposed, and no doubt the more the discussion is continued the more enormous will the anomalies appear. Mr. GOULBURN'S argument is as anomalous as the Bill. Because, said the Hon. Gentleman in substance, some bankers have an old hereditary business, which is almost equal to landed property, 1 will tax all profes sional and trade incomes at the same rate as the safe and certain incomes derived from an estate, or from an hereditary banking-house. While such a spirit presides at the Treasury, it is in vain to expect any modification of the Income-tax Bill, and it will probably be for the advantage of the public to allow the Bill to pass unim proved. It will be the sooner kicked oft'. Were pro fessional men and traders spared, that would give them a strong motive for adhering to the Income-tax : if it be unmitigated, all classes will combine, we hope, to resist and defeat it. Among the Bills which received the Royal Assent yesterday, was the Corn-keeping-out, or, in Parliamen tary language, the Corn Importation Bill. That mea - sure, which goes to inflict poverty, hunger, and starva tion on the people, is now the law of the land, and, like other such bad laws, will be obeyed, however much it may be execrated through the length and breadth of the land. Though less wrongful than the law it abolished, which all parties at length admitted to be unjust, it is an unjust law, and all the decrees of all the Parliaments that ever existed, cannot alter its character. At this moment, the people are riotous in severe ~l® a PUBLICATION S. CHEAP EDITION FOR CIRCULATION. Now ready, in 18mu., 29. AWINTER in the WEST INDIES.
