In, common with many others, we have felt much surprise at the little opposition the Income-tax has er.countered out of doors. However that may be ex plained, it certainly is a fact, that less real opposition 1- k us been given. by the public to this imposition than is given to the 'proposed alteration of the duties on and timber. Aware of that fact, we have not eonA,lored it our duty to dwell on an imposition to which those whom it affects are itlelined to submit. Ilv'hcn the whole is looked on with so much indiffer ence, the Separate parts of it, however glaring may b. a,few Mgt's of individual injustice, cease to be proper objects of' public discussion. It was of no use, therefore, anti is now of no use to say anything nufreofthe gross ine qualities of the measure. As Sir IL PEEL brought it into the House, so it will become the law of the land. Never, perhaps, was so large and bold a measure passed with less opposition, and never was the opposition antici pated so much overrated. • In looking about for the causes of this, it seems to us that the principal one is that the tax falls mainly , on those who are much interested, or suppose them selves interested in the maintenance of the Govern- ; ment. They know that the revenue is deficient. They believe that, unless the revenue be increased, the Government :will probably be unable to fulfill those duties which they expect of it ; and hence they submit, with unexampled patience, to an im position to which our ancestors, who depended less on the Government, and cared much, Ik,ss to uphold it, would have spurned. It is a tribute they- willingly pay to maintain and preserve the instrument from which they expect protection. With the ChartM claims fresh in our recollection, and the resistance made by the House of Commons even to hearing those claims, we cannot doubt for one mo ment; that the opulent classes unhappily now dread the lower classes, and they accept the Income-tax as a means cr: enabling the Government to protect them against their poorer fellow-subjects. Sir ROBERT PEEL has shown his cleverness for his own immediate purpose, by limiting the tax to in- Nimes of less than 1501. a-year. That cuts off an immense portion of the public from contributing to it, and leaves the number of complainants .too small, scat tered as they are through the community, and having, as many of them have, a direct and im mediate interest in upholding the Government, to MAO any impression on the public. In a debate on the 12. th ult., Colonel Woon estimated the whole number of persons who would contribute to the tax at only 200,000. That WIN probably an under esti mate; but that number of persons, paying an average of .201. a year each on their income, would yield Sir. ROBERT PEEL the full amount of his tax. If we double the number, and suppose that 400,000 persons contribute, an average tax of 101. levied on each would give Sir ROBERT PEEL 4,000,0001. Every income of-something less than .350/, will pay 10/. a -year, whence we may infer, that in this grest, rich; an'', powerful country, there are not more than 400,000 persons, according. to Sir- ROBERT PEEL'S calculations, with average incomes of 350/. a-year. Some few thousand persons will contribute a much 6rger 61,1111 than 10/., a still larger number will con tribute something more tient 10/., and a consider able 'number will be taxed —all who have incomes between 1501. nud 3 5 0L —at less than 10/. a-year. But the notorious fact, that there are many persons with incomes of 1,0001., 2 , 0 001., 3 ,000/., 4,0001., 5 2 000/. a.year, and even greater sums, while Sir It.. Put. expects to obtain le ss tha n 4,000 , 0 00/, from taxing all incomes above 150/. 1 at sevenpenc e in the pound, demonstrates that the number of persons who will contribute to the tar will be only a sm a ll section of the community. Whether we adopt Colonel Woon's calculation of 200,000 persons, or seek to infer the .number of contributors from Sir lloaritr Pnees estimate of the account of the tax, we are equally surprised at the small number sup posed by hint to be directly interested in' the support of the present order of thing;; and able and willing to coi , tribute to uphold it by subMitting to additional hardans. In such a comparatively small number, all or the educated classes too, there are no materials for a demagogue to work with, and hence the little .clamour against pssing the tax, and hence the little opposition it has etrcountered out of doors. The small number of persons on whom the tax falls suggests another remark. It taxes, exclusively, a few rich. This is 'what levellers, in all ages, have demanded. This is n fiat Lord 1111011 - Guam, and se veral other speakers and writers, vehemently con demned when 'it was pt . oposad to levy an increasing per tentage on incomes \,s' they increase in amount. Sir R.- Pxces Income-t ax, levied' on a f ew per . e in En g l an d o f sona, is a practical' comm en 'cement her that system of equalising incomes, or levelling pro perty, which has been so much blamed abroad. At pre- I sent it is confined to all incomes above 1501., but if the man, with a less income than 1501., should not contri bute at all, surely he who has 1511. should not pay as much as the man who ' has 30,000/. a year. The principle applied in Sir R. PEEL'S exemption will be carried out, and the Tory Premier, who has given by his speeches such a vast impulse to free trade, will give a still stronger impetus by his acts to the practical application in England of the levelling doctrines which have heretofore been practised in a neighbouring country. Mr. FEARGUS O'CONNOR congratulated the Chartists on Sir R. PEEL'S Income tax as the entrance of the small end of the wedge, and Mr. O'CoNicoa, seems to have had reason for his congratulation. Probably Sir R. PEEL supposes that, having set the ball in motion, he will be able to stop it when and where he pleases. He will be mis taken. His scheme of exclusively taxing the rich falls in too harmoniously with popular prejudices, not to derive from them accelerated power, which will carry it away from his control. Sir ROBERT PEET, stands, according to his own friends, in a very curious position. He has avowed that the, principles of free trade cannot be disputed. At the same time he is opposed to the free-traders as a political party, and he is supported by those who hate free trade, only because they, cannot find, it is said, an anti-free-trader who would undertake to lead any party. The Prime Minister, then, who is a free trader, carries on the Government by means of a party opposed to free trade. But this is not the greatest singularity of the case. Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Corn-law and his short-coming tariff are both in opposition to his own professed princi ples, and they are adopted out of deference to the political party which supports him. He advocates buying at the cheapest market, and his measures pre sent this remarkable singularity : They do not ac cord with the principles of his opponents ; they do not agree with the principles of his own supporters ; and they do not accord with his own professed princi ples. They are founded on mere political temporary convenience. They are a compromise of opinions between Sir ROBERT PEEL and his friends. They are based on none of the great interests or wants of society, and are not framed with any view to its future condition. Can such law be permanent ? Why, a little shifting of parties, would make the free trade Premier as ready to repeal them to-morrow, as he is to-day to pass them. Legislation founded on such a basis, is a disgrace to the Legislature. The nation cannot and will not long endure it. A well-informed Journalist says, that the Report of the Commissioners on Mines will appear to the public like a romance. It obviously makes him ac quainted with a feature in society he had before little or no knowledge of. But he who has been for some years writing on public affairs is an extremely well informed man, and when such was his ignorance, what must be the ignorance of the bulk of the Mem bers of both Houses who have again and again made laws affecting these people. For example all duties on coals affect them as well as all duties on provisions. Even now the Legislature is about to make a law imposing a 4s. duty on coals exported, which will probably reduce their earnings, A house carpenter who set to work to make a roof, knowing nothing of the wood he had to work with, or the tools he was to use, would not be likely to end in making a good job. If a smith knew nothing of the properties of iron he could mit very well shoe a horse, and if he had not some smattering of chemical knowledge, as applied to his profession, he would be called a very ignorant fellow. It seems, however, that we have public writers advocating great systems of national policy, and legislators carrying them into effect, who are far more ignorant of the society they deal with than any carpenter or any smith is with wood and iron. If igno rant artizans make bungling work, can it he otherwise with law-makers. We think not, and we apprehend that the present condition of England testifies that those who have made our laws have never been sur passed in bungling by any apprentice that ever took a tool in hand. A petition was presented to the House of Commons on Friday evening, from Mr. WARBURTON, late Member for Bridport, furnishing some curious details respecting, the worthy electors of that borough, and their worthy re , presents fives. The document appears among the Parlia mentary debates, and, though of great length, will amply repay perusal. Mr. WARBURTON had no alternative. Though known and admitted, even by his political op ponents, to be a man of high honour, and one of the most sincere Reformers that ever sat in the House—he had been maligned by some of the less scrupulous, and by none more than the Secretary for the Home Department, who was chased from Cumberland for his apostacy, and was glad to find shelter in the pocket borough of one of those Church-and-Sfate patriots whom, in a virtuous fit of indignation, he described as " great birds of prey." " What has become of Mr. WARBURTON," said Sir J. GRAHAM, at the mock election for Dorchester, " the immaculate supporter of purity of election, the staunch friend of the late Whig Government, where is he ?" Mr. WARBURTON is, therefore, determined to answer the question in person, and promises to lay before the Committee a scene which the friends of the Right Hon. Baronet will not thank him for provoking. He voluntarily comes forward and demands an investigation for himself and his late constituents. This cannot be refused, un less all the Members, and they are not few, who prac tised bribery in secret, are determined to protect it openly. Mr. WARBURTON will tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, and enable the House and the country to judge between the innocent and the guilty. If such things are done in a place like Bridport, where the electors generally were considered un tainted, what must have been the corruption, the shameless purchase of votes, and the degradation of candidates and voters, in a hundred places notorious for ages, and without any character to lose ? The systemaltogether is hopelessly corrupt. " The whole head is sick, and the whole heart is faint." A speedy and radical cure is imperiously demanded, and all who throw obstacles in the way, for the purpose of screening the guilty and continuing these disgraceful practices, can be regarded only as the abettors of crime, and the ene mies alike of religion and morality. We thank Mr. DUNCOMBE for publicly denouncing the cowardly practice of certain Members of both Houses of Parliament, in attacking the character of individuals out of doors, who have no means of defending themselves, or of calling their traducers to any account. We are far from imputing physical cowardice to the Marquis of LONDONDERUY or Mr.ltotuncx—they have both proved theansdves brave men, according to the popular estimate of that quality so common in this country ; but is there not moral cowardice in attacking the Magistracy of Sunderland and the framers of the National Petition, and their pleading Parliamentary privilege when any explanation is demanded ? The very fact of being privileged to utter slander with impunity, ought to prevent a Member of Parliament from stating all the truth of individuals obnoxious to public censure. A sense of decency, and a proper feeling of delicacy, would prevent any honourable man from attacking indi viduals unable to defend themselves. The contrary practice is as base as to strike a prisoner in fetters, or to assault a woman. If the House of Commons wishes to retain any hold upon the respect of the people, it cannot too . soon get rid of sanctioning attacks upon in dividuals out of doors. The privileges of Members may save them from personal violence, but they can neither screen them nor the House from the odium of the double charge of being moral cowards and calumniators. We have received Madrid Journals of the sth inst. On that day, in the Chamber of Deputies, Count DE LAS NAVAS asked the Minister for Foroign Affairs if there was any truth in the report that France was intermed dling about the marriage of the young QUEEN. We give the answer in the Minister's own words : In answering this question I must observe great prudence and circumspection ; but I will say enough to reassure the House in that respect. The dignity and honour of the nation will not sutler the interference of another Government in an affair which regards us exclusively. The nation will consider as an insult any pretension to the contrary. Thus, the Govern ment will never yield to the exigencies of any other nation, but will, consult the interests of Spain, and adopt the course which it deems most beneficial for them. Such is the political principle by which the Cabinet will be guided in this affair. The sth being Ascension Thursday, the Bourse remained closed. Intelligence from Bircelona of the 6th inst. states, that the feast of the preceding day passed off without any disturbance. • There is no political news in the Paris Journals ex cept a rumour that a French squadron was to bombard Tunis, and a Dutch fleet to attack Naples. Of course there is not a syllable of truth in either of these reports. Such, at least, is our impression. There is no longer a doubt that the Railway Bill will be carried. The following is the substance of a speech delivered by Marshal SOITLT, upon it in the Chamber of Deputies, on Thursday. It will be borne in mind that Members of the French Government have the privilege of addressing either Chamber : He had declared before the Committee his opinion, that the vast system of railroads now proposed ought singularly to favour military operations on the north and east. Lower Alsa cia was evidently the point which an enemy would choose for entering France. That was so evident, so well known, that he committed no indiscretion in announcing it from the tribune. Once that the enemy had entered France, it could easily turn Strasburg, take the high road to Saverne, .and reach the inte rior of th country. As kr as the defence of the kingdom was concerned, he attached the greatest importance to the direct line from Paris to Strasburg, for Paris being a centre of concentration for troops, and at the same time the north containing a great portion of the army, it was ' absolutely requisite that the Government could trans port with rapidity, with the shortest delay, 45,000 to 50,000 men, to stop up the entrance by Lower Alsacia. It must not be lost sight of, that since they had lost Landau, and that Sarrelouis had passed under the power of another Government, France was continually open to at tacks on the side of Lower Alsacia; therefore it was neces sary to have the means of speedily transporting troops there. He was of opinion a branch line ought to be taken from the Strasburg railroad to Metz. In fact, Metz had become a strategic point, and an entrenched camp ought to be esta blished there for the reception of all the troops comin g from the North to meet an enemy renetrating by . the quarter he had stated. There was no doubt that in time this branch communication would be demanded by the Government. As to the East, a line ought trepass by Dijon. If France was at tacked, and an enemy . had entered by Lower Alsacia, it would not enter by that point alone. An army would evidently en: deavour to penetrate by the Alps, and the strategic point of that line was incontestably Dijon. This was known to every body, and the Chamber might recollect that when the Emperor wished to re-enter Italy, and was preparing for the battle of Marengo, it was at Dijon that he concentrated his forces. Therefore, there was no doubt on the matter; Dijon was the strategic point. The two strategic railroads were, therefore, that of the Alps by Dijon; and of Strasburg by Metz, and the execution of these two lines was of the utmost importance for the defence of the country in a military point of view. The following extracts include ail that is of any in terest in these papers : The following details of the capture of English fishing-boats, which we mentioned a few days ago from a Dieppe journal, are given in the Temps :--" On the night of the 26th alt., English fishing-boats came in great numbers to the oyster-beds near Granville, to commit depredations. The commandant of the station, M. Mortemard de Boisse, perceived their ma noeuvres, with his own cutter, the Renard, and the Es piegle, commanded by M. Latouche, came on them when at full work. Eighteen were captured, loaded with more than 50,000 oysters, and many more could have been taken, fur there was quite a little fleet of them, had the crews of the cutters been numerous enough. The captured boats and their crews were brought into Granville the next morning." A letter from Hamburgb, via Antwerp, dated the 7th, states that the pulling down of houses to prevent the progress of the flames, had not been successful. 'thirteen streets, says this letter, had been destroyed, and the number of houses burnt was 1,300. The letter adds, that no further attempts were being made to arrest the fire, the men who had been employed being worn out with fatigue, and the canals dry from the con tinued easterly winds. The letter concludes in these words: We are at the mercy of God. If heaven does nst send us aid, we do not see what parts of the city can be saved." A Vienna correspondent writes on the 4th instant:— " Our new Ambassador from Turkey, Akif Effendi, ar rived yesterday. The Turkish Envoy to London was de tained at Belgrade by indisposition, and will not arrive for several days. Count Flahaut has given a splendid dinner in honour of his sovereign's fete. Prince Meternich being too unwell to attend, was represented by the Count de Goes, first Marshal of the Court. The Pope's Nuncio proposed the toast to the health of the King of the French ; Count Flahaut that of the Emperor of Austria. A letter from Berlin, May 2, states that M. de Rochow, the Minister of the Interior, had, after a long interview with his Sovereign, given in his resignation, which was accepted. His successor is Count Arnim, formerly Governor of the province of Posen. A Berlin letter, of the 6th instant, says that the calico manufacturers of Prussia have presented a petition to the King, protesting against any increase of the duties on cotton thread. A letter from Naples, April 27, in the Augsburgh Gazette, says—" A communication from the Minister of the Interior concerning the differences which have arisen between the Neapolitan Government and Holland, has been posted up in the Exchange. It is said that the Minister of Foreign Affairs has to-day addressed a circular to all the Consuls on the same object. The merchants are informed by it that, as it is pos sible that hostile measures may be adopted at any moment by Holland against the commerce of the Two Sicilies, his Majesty wishes them to adopt all the measures possible to guarantee their property from attack, and recommends them even to use if necessary a different flag from that of Naples." By the Pharamond, which arrived at Marseilles on the 7th, we have received news from Algiers of the sth. It was said that General Changarnier, who left Blidah on the 27th of April, with a great convoy for Milianah, had penetrated into the country of the Hadjouts and the Beni-Diener, and had captured above 6,000 head of cattle, oxen, sheep, and goats, and 50 camels. He had also brought away 350 prisoners of those tribes. Another great convoy was to leave Algiers on the sth for Medeah. A deplorable scene took place at Algiers on the Ist inst., on the occasion of the execution of a German, who had been convicted of having assassinated two of his com rades, near Douera. This execution was accompanied with atrocious en cumstances.— Commerce. BO U USE-I'Am, Tut RSDAY, MAY 12. I.lrst Hig hest Lowest last Price Price.

It was attended by Mr. Burts, Mr. Gregg, Mr. Stevens, Mr. Glover, and other gentle men, and after an animated discussion it was agreed to hold another meeting in the same place on Friday next, to carry into execution the intention of forming an Anti- Corn-law Association. S ki on D 'a OF i'lliVez„ AN I) Vtitiltr " Who runs may read.' There is nothing in the original columns of the Paris journals for us to extract from or analyse. The articles are either en the discussion in the Chamber of Deputies, respecting which there are no observationsof an interestingnature, or un the late melancholy catastrophe, without adding anything important to what has been already said on the subject. Our Contempo raries aware that, under the influence of the feelings inspired by the recent disaster, the public would take no interest in party political discussion, almost generally abstain from it. he Temps says that the Prince de Joinville, before he sets out for his voyage round the world, will make an excursion on the coast of Italy, and will visit in succession Tuscany, the Roman States, and the Gulf of Naples. The investigation which commenced immediately alter the discovery of the projectiles, bombs, &c., in the Passage Violet and other places, is still pursued, says the Gazette des Tribe naux, with activity. The number of arrests up to the present time amounts to about ten. All the objects seized have been deposited at the Registrar's office. The projectiles are made in a perfectly new manner. A stone bottle, not very thick, serves as the envelope; this is covered outside with a thick coat of the inflammable matter which is applied to the extremity of those matches called elamiques allemandes.

The Morning Herald contains the following remarks on the subject of taxation :—" The word • justice' was not a little abused in the House of Lords on Thursday evening, during the discussion of Lord Lansdowne's motion relative to the extension of the Income- tax to foreign fundbolders. What can justice have to do with taxation ? One tax may be lei; unjust than another; but all taxation is in its essence unjust and unequal, and to speak of any impost known to Chancellors of the Exchequer being in accordance with 'the principles of abstract justice' is a perversion of language. On what prin. ciple can the collection of our national revenue—of nearly fifty millions sterling annually—from sources so various and oppo site, be excused, save on that of spreading the injustice of our fiscal system as much as possible over all-classes of the commu nity? We hear it, indeed, occasionally remarked that taxes on commodities are less unjust than direct taxes, because they are voluntary. The supposition of taxation being voluntary is ridiculous. ',there is no such thing as voluntary taxation ; and the taxes which are paid o,n sugar, tea, coffee, and tobacco, are quite as involuntary as the Income-tax will be ; they, offend, though indirectly, just as much against the principles of abstract justice,' as the tax on income does boldly anti directly; nay, they offend more, because they check consump tion—which must to many amount to a refusal by the State of the necessaries of life—whereas the Income-tax is but a sum taken away from what a man has." In an article on the subject of election bribery and comp- Mr. Warburton's ca se seems al m o s t c ti h o o n ic t e h r e th l an 'in t w h s at sa l s'— f Sudbury. 'there is a snug self-satisfied, easy, matter-of-course, continual, standing corruption abut it ; all very we ll an d b us i ness lik e f or an o ld professed ' to see no h arm i n t h at ki n d o f t bw h °h i r:u g thing,' but nb is i u l°' n tO jet r rab a wi p he a o t riot of the first water—a genuine purity and ballot man—a little startling. It appears from Mr. War burton's petition, that when he first stood for Bridport it was the custom in that borough to pay after the election 10/. to each voter under the denomination of head-money ; but that no previous promises hid been made; that every gentleman of honour felt himself bound to pay this 'money ; that 2,000/. was paid at his first election; and tnat in 1830 money wa- paid on the same understanding,' Mr. Warburton certainly did the thing in style—and so did the electors of Bridport. It was not that two or three shy birds were to be secured by this tempt ing application; there was no nt nsensical interference of ageets —no tenderness for the delicate scruples of the principal. Mr. Warburton and all his prede cessors' it would seem, paid each of about 200 voters their 10/. a head as regularly as if he had been a navy contractor bargaining fur beeves in the gross ; and then, forsooth, because he buys his constituents, nut by auc tion, but by private contr ac t, h e cumes not only theinno cent, but even the man of honour over us." The Chronicle thus notices a gross Ministerial blunder, as respects the Corn Bill :—" A blunder committed in framing the Corn Bill has given the commercial worll no very high idea of the business qualifications of Ministers. The Bill re quires the new averages from a certain day—which happens not to coincide with the day on which the old averages ceased. There was consequently an interval of some days on which no averages could be taken. The Liverpool merchants have claimed the admission of a large quantity of corn free of duty during that interval, on which no average could be taken. It must be admittedsthat the blunder is a very gross one. The present Government were always claiming credit for superior csrrectness whilst the Whigs were in office; but one of the blunders already committed by them since their return to power, would show how groundless are their pretensions." The following is from the Post:—" The policy of the Go vernment with respect to protective duties, and the statement of the Prime Minister in proposing the reform of the tariff, are both, perhaps, unexceptionable when tested by merely mer cantile principles. But, in a nation like this, where theinter ests over which a wise and careful Government is bound to watch, are not merely mercantile, it may be questioned whether the approbation of the merchants is alone, or most chiefly, that to which the Minister ought to look. It seems to us that the various interests of those concerned in production —from the owner of arable lands and pasture lands, of mines, and quarries, and fisheries, down to the labourers who depend for their daily bread upon the 6nployment they can obtain—ought to , th a e s interest s eoldf trade, or o b f y th t e he gre G at ov b e o r d n y me o ri f t p w ei e p ll le a , s co th n e . sidered merely as consumers. And we do not think that the well-being of the classes concerned in production is to be determined by the same principles as determine the well-being of the mercantile class. The mercantile class may flourish by laws and regulations which would be quite destructive to the producing classes." _ ELECTIONEERING. The inquiry into the validity of.

Williams and Mottram's case has been adjourned to next Wednesday. Six charges of felony were brought on Friday against Thomai Kirby, a linendraper of Church-street, Shoreditch, for having stolen plate,' upon all of which he was committed. On Friday, William Adnam, a messenger in the Six Clerks' Office, was brought up at Bow-street charged with stealing a number of law-briefs. It having transpired that documents of importance had disappeared from other offices, the prisoner was remanded for a week, while further inquiry is set afoot. LITERAIVX AND SCIENTIVIC.

The markets have all been very dull, and with scarcely any business going Ibrward. This part of the week is generally quiet, and has been rendered more so than usual by the holidays. Money has been in great demand, and difficult to be procured at four per cent. per annum. Consols left off at 92/ 92 for Money, and 921 92! for the Account. Bank Stock, IG7i 1681 ; India Stock, 249 251, and Exchequer Bills, 39 41 prem. Foreign Securities had but little doing there ; prices were—Belgian, 1011 102 i ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 52/, 52i ; the Five per Cents., 1001 1011 ; Danish, 80/ 81/, and Brazilian, 67 68. Mexican was comparatively quiet to-day at the quota tion of 37/ 371. In the Share Market, those of the London and Bir mingham have been, 180 182 ; Birmingham and Glou cester, 53 55 ; Great Western, 92/ 93-k ; the Half- Shares, 64 64/ ; South Western, 63/ 641 ; Gosport, 63} 641 ; North Midland, 65 67 the New Sh ares , 32/ 33i ; South Eastern and Dover, 29i 30 • the Scrip. 71 74,- • Eastern Counties, 9/1- ; Blackwall, 11* 1 ; the New Shares, 91 9i ; and Brighton, 361 36i per share.

The payment of the dividends at the early part of the month has, doubtless, to a certain extent, been the cause of the increase; but the large excess, and the low rate of interest fully prove that the complaints of the depres sion in trade are not without foundation. It was ex pected, some short time since, that business was about to revive, but the accounts from all quarters now state that the improvement was but temporary, and that it has re lapsed into its former condition. One circumstance, which has tended to this state of affairs, is the agitation occasioned by the introduction of the financial measures now in progress, and as it appears certain that no altera tion of moment will be made, merchants, however much they may disapprove of them, now express an anxiety that they may be brought into operation, expecting, that when such shall be the case, some change may take place ; let it be as it may, it is to be hoped that mer cantile affairs have seen the worst. (From The Snn of Saturday Evening.) The Markets to-day Sr. nearly deserted, and scarcely any thing has been dons in any Stock, English nr Foreign.

Re duced, 990 New Three-and-a-Half per Cents., 1001 100/ ; Bank Stock, 167 k 164 ' • India Stock, 249 251 ; India Bonds, 19 21 ; and Exchequer Bills, 39 41 prem. A few trifling purchases have teen made in Dutch, the Two and-a-Half per Cents. 521, and the Five per Cents. 1001. Some bargains have been made in Mexican at 37a for Money, and 371 for the Account. In the Share Market, Edinburgh and Glasgow have been sold at 55k ; Manchester and Leeds, 4b; South Eastern Scrip, 71 ; Eastern Counties, Si. Is. Bd., and Brighton, 361. Money is in demand to-day at four per cent. In the bonds of the insolvent States, the usual bargain in Peruvian has been done to-day at 191; the quotation for Colombian, is 25k ; and Spanish Three per Cents. 231. The accounts of the general circulation of the kingdom show an increase of 1,835,070/. upon the aggregate, which is com posed of 2,036,3831. in England, minus 79,2351. in the circula tion of Scotland, and 201,3094 in that of Ireland. The sepa rate accounts axe, an increase in that of the Bank of England of 1,730,000/., the difference between 18,404,0001. and 16,674,000/. ; in the English private banks of 193,1394 the difference between 5,482,189/. and 5,289,050/ ; in the Joint Stock Banks of this country of 113;3241., the difference between 3,160,9001. and 3,047,656/. The 'mount of the circulation in Scotland is now 2,590,7151., while last month it was 2,670,290/, a falling off as above stated of 79,275/. The issues of the Bank of Ireland have increased 26,500/., the difference between 3,100,625/. and 3,074,1251., while those of the private and joint-stock banks are less by 148,234/., the difference be tween 2,111,3221. and 2,259,556/. The stock of bullion in the Bank of England is larger by 76,000/., the difference between 7,082,000/. and 7,006,000/. This is an important feature, while the amount of notes in circulation has so much increased. The lowest point to which the bullion fell was in November, 1841, when it was no more than 4,218,0001., the circulation being 17,065,000/. ; and with the next highest circulation to the present, in July, 1841, the bullion was only 5,011,0001. gainst 17,976,000/. in notes; thus the Bank . is now in as fa °arable a position with regard to the comparison between its ssues and gold as it has been for a long period.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 13.—At the COTS. rnencement of the week there was more animation, and it was generally considered that a steady moderate demand now would abe continued, and the accounts from the United States being improved, this opinion was strengthened. But yesterday ant to-day business has become very limited, and almost entirely confined to small parcels for immediate use, so that if prices ad vanced at the beginning of the week, they have receded to the former point. If trade became better in Manchester, this 'market would also be affected; but until such be the case, no permanent change can be expected. The sales of the week amount to 26,240 bales, of which 900 American and 150 Surat have been taken on speculation, and 1,400 American, 50 Surat, and 350 Madras for shipping.

The beneficial effect of the late rains will, no doubt, cause many others to be sent that would otherwise have been reserved for Epsom. The list promises seven races each day, some of them heat ; and' we hear that the first race on Tuesday will be at two o'clock. This may suit the higher class, but certainly not the general visitors, as from the delay that invariably arises out of gentlemen riding, there is no chance of the sports being finished before six '. or seven o'clock; taking into consideration the distance from town, the last heat ought to be over by five. Lord Verulam will entertain a large party during tip} races. SHREWSBURY RACES.—Tinntsras. The County Members' Plate of 601. Heats twice round, and a distance.

The Gazette de - Lausanne relates that a boy of eight years of age, residing at Chambery, in playing nearing a pre cipice, lost his balance, and fell down a perpendicular depth of 162 feet. At that distance he met the branches of a tree, which, bending with his weight and afterwards rebounning, sent him forward 91 feet lower! He was found half an hoar afterwards, with only a thigh broken and some slight scratches. He is not considered in any danger. THE CALEDONIAN ASYLUM. The anniversary of this Institution, established in 1815, was celebrated on Saturday at the Freemason's Tavern. The Duke of Thiccleuch took the chair, aed was supported on the right by Colonel Sir Augustus D'Este, and on the left by the Chisholm. There were also at the cross-table, Sir Allan M'Nab, Admiral John stone, Sir Duncan M'Dougal, Mr. Ogden, Attorney-Ge neral for Canada ; J. J. Hope Johnstone, M.P. ; H. H. Lindsay, Esq., M.P. ; P. M. Stewart, Esq., M.P. ; Major Oliphant, Captain Forbes, Captain Lamont, R.N. ; Geo. Forbes, Esq., and other supporters of this 'excellent In stitution. About one hundred and fifty sat down to dinner, which was served up in good style. The gallery was filled with well-dressed ladies—Miss Stephens. Miss Hobbs, sung some excellent songs. Mr. Wilson also volunteered his services on the occasion. Mr. Broad hurst and Co., as usual, were present, and what, with the martial and national music played by the pipers, of the Enke •f Sussex, the Duke of Sutherland, and a nume rous band, the fine appearance of the boys, amounting to about seventy, dressed in the Highland costume, the affability, good taste, and appropriate speeches of the Noble dhairman, and the liberal subscriptions made in the course of the evening, the entertainment was coin pletely successful. The CHAIRMAN, in a neat introductory speech, gave " the Queen," which was drunk with great enthusiasm. In proposing "Prince Albert and the Prince of Wales," his Grace said he gave the toast with peculiar satisfac tion. The country justly looked with great interest to the young Prince, who, with the blessing of God, was destined to fill the throne of these realms, and long may the time be before that even s taltes place.—(Great diner ing.) lie coupled his name with that of his Royal father, and next to that of his Illuitrious mother—two personages alike distinguished for their public and pri vate virtues, and for most of the accomplishments that adorn society. The country had reason to be grateful that the Heir Apparent to the Throne was brought up under such guardians, and might hope that when he was entrusted with the Government he would imitate their bright example.—(Cheers.) The next toast was " the Queen Dowager, the Pa troness of the Institution, and the rest of the Royal Family," which was followed by that of " the Duke of Sussex, the President." His Grace in giving these toasts paid a high compliment to Queen Adelaide, for her charity and liberality, and to the Duke of Sussex, for his distinguished support of every charitable institution, foreign as well as native. Sir A. D'EsTE returned thanks for his Royal father, who, he was . proud to say, had proved himself a friend to arts and science, and had long taken an interest in in stitutions like that which they had met that evening to celebrate. His father had been' a supporter of the Ca ledonian Asylum from its commencement. He was proud to follow the example, and lend any little aid he could afford, for several reasons, and tor one in particu lar-,--because it was connected with a country to which his mother belonged.—(Cheers.) He was happy also to see it patronised by the Nobleman who so ably filled the chair, the chief of the house of Buccleuch, who was se cond in rank only to royalty, but was not: second in pride of family, in power, and in those great, as well as amiable, qualities which had distinguished his Illus trious line—who set a noble cxample example to others of conjugal and domestic duty, and who might be justly styled a father to his tenants.—(Loud cheers.) The CHISHOLM then propossd " The health of the Duke of Buccleuch," for Which his Grace briefly re turned thanks. The boys were marched into the room. preceded by three pipers, playing Highland airs. The exhibition was highly gratifying, and did great credit to the Rev. Mr. Lees, the Superintendent and Secretary, and to Mrs. Lees, the Matron of the Institution. They were hand somely dressed in the Stuart tartan, with the kilt 'and Highland bonnet, showed great good health and spirits, and as they were drawn up round the hull excited loud applause both from the guests and the ladies in the gallery. The Duke of BrtectEurtr, in proposing the toast of the evening, ‘ Success to the CalAonian Asylum,' said the exhibition which. they saw around must be highly gratifying to tha supporters of this excellent In stitution, which had been formed towards the close of the long war, and was intended for the education and maintenance of the children of Scotehmen who had fallen in battle. It was only paying a debt of gratitude to their fathers, distinguished alike for their bravery and love of country. This was no common charity like those, the object of which was to raise a sum of money, and then no more is thought of them. It was a useful, as well as a charitable Institution ; it was conducted on the strictest moral and religious discipline ; the boys were brought up under the eve of their excellent governor, Mr. Lees, properly educated for professions and trades, and fitted for performing the duties of good Christians and good men. Through the liberality of numerous sub scribers, a spacious building had been erected, but he regretted to state that, owing to want of funds only a portion of it was occupied. There was room yet for twenty-six boys, in addition to those on the establish ment. He trusted, however, that there would not be cause for this complaint long, and that the public as well as those present would contribute liberally, in order to enable the Directors to make up the compliment to at least one hundred boys. He had little to. add, and in deed words were not necessary, but would simply ep peal to the delightful sight before them—to the fine ap pearance of the children, which, he was sure, delighted every heart.—(Loud cheers.) .The. Report was read by one of the Treasurers. as we un understood, but was very imperfectly heard. We learned, however, that the School had been inspected and the boys examined by Dr. Brown, a minister of the Presby terian Church in London, on Monday last, who reported that everything went off well, and that the condition of the boys, as regarded their religious, their moral and literary education, did ()mat credit to the Rev. Mr. Lees, and fully warranted e ' the important trust placed in him by the Directors. The following is a brief account of the origin and present state of the Asylum. It owed its origin in a great measure to the Highland So ciety, and in a very short time subscriptions were raised to the amount of 10,000/. " Sir Charles Forbes,Bart., with that liberality and benevolence for which he is distinguished, advanced one thousand pounds towards forwarding the object, in anti cipation of contributions from his friends in Bombay, which was afterwards more than realised. In 1814 the Highland Society transferred the management of the Asylum to the Subscribers, when a Committee. of their number was appointed, and measures adopted for orga nising the Institution ; and on the 14th of June, 1815, it was incorporated by Act of Parliament • From una voidable circumstances, the Institution was not opened for the reception of children until December 1819, - when the Committee, having procured premises in Cross-street Hatton garden, ad mitted.l2 boys on the foundation : the number m as afterw ands gradually increased to 40, h e i n er the utmost that -the buildine• could accommodate, with proper regard to the healktif the innintes, These pre mises were found unsuitable, and being from their locality incapable of extension, it became necessary, to remove the establishment to a mere eligible situation. Two acres of freehold ground were purchased in Copenhagen-fields, Islington;. the foundation of a suitable building was laid on the 17th May, 1827, and completdd in September 1828, when the establishment was removed. The building erected, although in itself complete, forms only the centre part of a design, which can at any time be pro gressively extended, or coMpkted. as the means of the Corporation increase. It is capable of containing 100 children; but, at preSent, there are only 76 boys on the establishment, being the utmost that the funds of the Institution can support. The children are admitted from the age of seven to 10 years, and retained until they have arrived at fourteen, when they are apprenticed to trades, or otherwise • disposed of, according to circumstances. They receive a plain, useful education, and the utmost care is bestowed on their moral and religious instruction, under the super intendence of a clergyman of the. Church of .Scotland; and they are once a-year publicly examined by the Presbytery of the Scottish Church in London. The Institution has from its commencement been ho noured with the patronage of the Royal Family. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex was President of the Highland Society when the measure was first pro posed, and afterwards, when revived in 1813 ; and his Royal Highness, as well as his lute illustrious brothers, the Dukes of York and Kent, who were successively Presidents of the Caledonian Asylum, unit;Rmly Pro moted its interests by their influence and patronage." The Rev. JOHN LEES read the list of subscriptions for the evening, the first of which was a munificent dona; tiun of fifty guineas • from the Duke .of Buceleuch, in addition to fifty guineas already subscribed; Duke of Roxburgh 26 guineas, Lord Baddo 10 guineas, Sir Allan M‘Nab 10 guineas, Lady Glenlyon 10 guineas,. in addition to 26 guineas formerly subscribed ; Dr. Tweedie 10 guineas, Sir Charles Forbes 10 guineas ; two of his sons 5 guineas each ; The Chisholm 10 guineas, and a great many smaller sums, amounting altogether to about 5001. After the usual toasts to the Vice-Presidents, Direc tors, and other officers, which were duly acknowledged, Sir AtrousTus.D'EsTE proposed the health of the gal lant Gentleman on his right, Sir Allan M‘Nab. His name was well known, and honourably known to the public here, as well as to his brave countrymen in Canada. His promptitude, bravery, and firmness, had contributed in no small degree to the repulse of the sympathisers, and the complete suppression of the insur rection in that important colony.—(Applause.) Sir ALLAN M 4 NAB, on rising to return thanks, was greeted with loud cheers. He was not a Scotchman, he said, though now an Adopted son ; but his father was born in Scotland, and he was proud of his origin. He had done " the State some service," and that formed the proudest event of his life. He was highly flattered by the encomiums passed on his ex ertions, and those who acted with him ; and in justice to the brave Canadians, and their own countrymen who had emigrated to that colony, he was bound to say that he eas nobly supported. Should another attack be made, he had no fear as to the result, for he had left b e hi n d many who would gallantly perform their duty to them selves and to their country.—(Loud cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then gave the Presbytery of London, and in the absence of all the members, the Rev. Mr. Lees briefly returned thankS. The Duke left the Chair about half-past eleven, when the company separated. THE TRUCK SYSTEM.—The Select Committee ap pointed to inquire in the frauds committed upon the working classes by this oppressive system, met yesterday, and elected Lord Ashley to be their chairman. They then adjourned until Wednesday the 25th instant, on which they will commence their labours, by instituting an inquiry into its extent and effects, as practised in Bradford, Yorkshire, and the surround in..' district.
