The only reason assigned by the Government for re fisting I,,fd HowicK's proposal to reduce the differen. tial duty on foreign coffee, was, that negotiations are pending wish Brazil, and our Government might have an advantage in concluding them, if it did not now concede the reduction of duty on Brazilian coffee. Precisely the same argument was used by Sir ROBERT PEEL, when Dr. BOWRING proposed to reduce the duty on French silks and French wines. The high differential duty in kept on, according to this theory, to annoy the French and the Brazilians, and is hereafter to be abolished to bribe them to assent to the propositions submitted to them by Sir ROBERT PEEL. On this principle, Custom house duties are levied, not because they are necessary for the Government, or serviceable to our own people, but from considering the circumstances of France :Ind Brazil. With all deference to Sir ROBERT PEEL, and the two Houses of Parliament, we venture to assert that the affairs of England are not so ably managed as to warrant them in taking on themselves the responsibilit of legislating for other countries. The advocates of this somewhat absur 1 , though cus tomary proceeding, may say that they continue then" duties in the hope of extorting some advantage from France, for our linen yarns, or from Brazil for our woollens. But why ate the consumers of coffee or wines now to be taxed to procure, a, prospective advan tage to the m anu f acturers of these two articles ? When this theory is analysed it is resolved into the old scheme of taxing one portion of our own people to benefit some It is a remnant of the bounty system. Let us, s ay Mr. GLADSTONE and Sir ROBERT PEEL, tax all who drink coffee and wine, and by and by we shall confer on those who spin linen-yarn and make woollen cloth a great increase of employment and wealth. Our political-economy teachers proved to us that all such schemes were a misdirection of the national capital, a waste of the national resources, an usurpation of indi vidual rights, and :at advantage conferred on one branch of the community at the expense of another. When gliding GLAIIsTONE and plausible PEEL ? One very serious consequence of the prospective reduction of duties contingent on something which the diplomatists of France and the Brazils may hereaf!er agree to, was pointed out by Mr. HAWES. It leaves the duties practically unsettled, and deranges, pro rant°, the dealings of merchants. They cannot carry on their transactions with safety. We will be bold to say that nearly all the duties of the tariff, as now proposed, are tainted with the same vice. The duty on sugar is only to be levied for a single year. That on timber in volves a prospective arrangement. Coffee, wine, spirits, wool, cotton, cattle, butter, cheese, have all been sub jected to duties which cannot be permanently main tained. Sir ROBERT PEEL'S tariff will tend, therefore, to paralyze trade, by the uncertainty it will introduce into several great branches of business. It is, how ever, one of thoie laws which have met the approbation of some writers, because they can be Massed—not be cause they are right and just, Week after week is Sir ROBERT PEEL spoken of as the most sagacious of states men, because he proposes to Parliament only such mea sures as will meet the prejudices of his supporters. lie has, on this principle, carried his Corn-law and his Income-tax, and he will carry his Tariff. The conse quences will be, continual famine, great discontent, and future changes, begetting, at present, mercantile uncer tainty, in his scheme of duties. Mr. GOULBURN, the night before last, very kindly in formed the scaleless people, after they bad lost from Sd. to 14d. on every sovereign in their possession, because they could not weigh it, that the majority of the sovereigns paid into the Bank were only deficient lh or per cent., so that the loss on an average was only 3d. each. What good will that knowledge now do to those who have been inconvenienced and fleeced? It will only strengthen their conviction that they have been de frauded, and may contribute to nourish the ill will which certain classes entertain for each other. Mr. GOULBURN mentioned the small deficiency of the sovereigns as a justification of the proclamation, imply ing that the real loss wes so little that it might be easily borne, and that the people were partly to blame fur having exaggerated the evil, and suffered themselves to be imposed on. Does he not see that the less the sovereigns are depreciated the less any proclamation whatever was required, and the more the Government is to blame for having issued it ? We never heard any complaints of the gold coinage. The sovereigns passed freely, and their value was unquestioned. No man weighed them, or was made sensible that they were de preciated. No person, therefore, can find any good reason whatever for issuing the proclamation, and the Government is generally and loudly accused of having wantonly or ignorantly caused loss and trouble to the bulk of the people. The House of Commons finished the tariff last night, and, tedious as the discussions may have appeared to the public, we believe there is no example of a popular deliberative assembly having got through a new scheme for regulating all the customs' duties of the empire so rapidly. The motion to issue a new writ for Belfast last night, caused a complete exposure of another of thos e disgraceful compromises by which the representation of the people has been bartered for corrupt pecuniary considerations. Mr. O'CoNNELL proved that an or ganised system of bribery had prevailed at Belfast, and, to avoid the consequences of that, money was paid to keep back the evidence, and the seat was vacated. The exposure was so complete that Sir ROBERT PEEL, who had probably not made up his mind whit course he should take before he had heard Mr. O'CoNNELL's statements, voted against issuing the writ, and at once granted Mr. O'CoNNELL a Committee to inquire whether a corrupt compromise had taken place or not. Other compromises, we believe, equally disgraceful, have been entered into to serve the purpose of a party, in which the views, feelings, and wishes of the candidates have been sacrificed, as well as the interest of the electors. But we hope as the House of Commons has begun the inquiry, it will carry it out, and not leave one case of corrupt compromise uninvestigated or unbranded. An interesting discussion took place in the House of Lords on Monday night, on a motion made by Lord CAMP BELL for a return of the records of the trial of a JAMES HENDRY, for an assault, at the late assizes at Stirling, hi Scotland. According to the statement made by Lor.l CAM/41E1n, a constable named SIMPSON was assaulted in the discharge of his duty, for which he brought an ac tion against the person who assaulted him. No one bi:t himself had witnessed the assault, and he was put in the witness-box to prove it. The defendant's Counsel oh jeeted that he was an infidel, and therefore not to be be lieved on his oath. The Lord Chief-Justice Clerk an 4 Lord MEDWYN, without addressing a word to the wit ness, allowed four persons to be examined, to prove the infidelity of his opinions, and that he was a reader of the works of VOLTAIRE and VOLNEY. The Judges exa mined him at great length upon his opinions respecting different points of Christian doctrine, and although lie repeatedly asserted that he believed in a Divine Being, the Redemption, and was ready, if allowed, to receive the Sacrament, his testimony was rejected. Such was the statement of Lord CAMPBELL. The LORD CHANCELLOR, however, on behalf of the Scottish Judges, asserted that the witness SIMPSON was not exa mined touching his religious opinions by the Judges, but by the defendant's advocate, and that by the law of Scotland the man's religious opinions being called in question, the Judges could not prevent such an investi gation before admitting his testimony. The result was the reveres of what was stated by Lord CAMPBELL, fin• the man was sworn, the accused found guilty upon his evidence, and sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment. Now we care very little which version of this story be true ; if the presiding Judges administered the law correctly, as we have no doubt they did, that law is a disgrace to Scotland. Is every man who accuses another of committing a violent assault upon him, to be subjected, before giving evidence, to an ecclesiastical in quisition as to what may be his opinions upon this or that point of practical and speculative theology ? Is a man to have his teeth dashed out with impunity in moral, justice-loving Scotland, because it can be proved that he read " Candide," " The Man with Forty Crowns," " The Travels of Scarmantado," and the " Ruins of Em pires ?" Where is the scholar or the man of taste to 1w found who has not feasted apon the inimitable wit—aye and profound genius too, of VOLTAIRE ? We are persuaded a man might swear the truth as to his having his head broken, and yet think the author of " Mahomet," " Semiramis," " Merope," and " Zaire," a better poet than those twin constellations of Divine song, Messrs. STEHNIIOLD and HOPKINS. They manage these things differently on the south of the Tweed. Lord DENMAN and the other Judges in the House of Lords, stated that in this country the only questions put to a witness were, did he believe in the sanctity of an oath, and the existence of a future state of rewards and punish ments ? These questions were put by the Judge, and if answered in the affirmative, set at rest all olk;ections on the score of infidelity. In England it is not held that men must be guilty of perjury be cause they cannot swallow the whole of the Thirty-nine Articles, celebrate the Martyrdom of King CHARLES, and accept as entirely orthodox every syllable contained in the Book of Common Prayer. A witness may think the bench of Bishops an assemblage of useless old wo men, and yet an English Judge will not scruple to trail ; sport a pick-pocket on his evidence, any more than he would, did be believe that C. J. LONDON was a Bonomeo in Charity, and H. EXETER a Stylites in self-denial. Bow-street would present a' queer appearance if con stables could only be sworn after they had satisfied the Court that their orthodoxy on the points disputed by Dr. PUSEY and the bench of Bishops was entirely unimpeachable. The declaration that a witness considers the form of oath administered to him binding upon his conscience, is all that the law ought to require from any person in any country. There can be no greater fallacy than the vulgar impression with respect to oaths. ' 'We have paid some attention to the subject, and so far as our ex perience has led, we have ever found that men who pro fessed to believe the most, were the readiest to tak:. oaths, and-to break them too. Hypocrisy is the safest cloak for perjury. Justice and common sense says that the man who wilfully and spitefully breaks his neighbour's bones should be punished fur it, no matter whether that neighbour be or be not a Christian. To this extent, therefore, the law of Scot land, as laid down by the practice of two of the most eminent Judges of that couttry, calls for speedy amend ment, and w e trust Lord CAMPBELL will lose no time it bringing forward a Bill to that effect. Arr. IVALLACE has given notice of four clauses, two of great importance, relative to the Scotch Church, which Ate will propose by way o f a m endments, in the event or the Bill to regulate the exerc ise o f Church patronage in Scotland being committed. We may tell the Hon. Member at once, however, that he will be saved the trouble, for the Bill will either be withdrawn at the second reading, or be rejected by a large majority. Th e General Assembly settled that point last month ; an d were the plans of the Member for Greenock even to be entertained by the House, and finally passed into a law, the Non-Intrusionist clergy would denounce it as a most outrageous interference with their spiritual authority. Mr. WALLACE properly looks to the interests and wishes science repudiates such a scheme, is it.sufficient to make of the people, while these are the very last considerations Parliament adopt it that it is now recommended by that influence the minds of those reverend fathers who !lave ,o long disturbed the pelzee of the ketch Church. Dr. CHALMERS, in one of his late speeches also settled that point, and would therefore reject with infinite con-, tempt and disdain the following clause, " that on every occasion when a vacancy shall occur in the holy ministry in any parish in Scotland, that the same shall be filled up on the clear and distinct principle of unfettered elec tion, by those who at the time of such vacancy occurring shall have their names recorded in a list to be kept for that purpose, as persons of good character, and being in habitual attendance on the ordinances of religion in the parish church." This is an excellent clause, and to make it perfect only a slight addition is required, namely, that all persons untainted by crime shall be admitted to the ordinances of religion in order to deprive the Church of any pretence of interfering in the election. The third clause is still better, and consequently would be more unpalatable to the clerical agitators, for it provides that 'the established clergy shall confine themselves to their own proper calling, and in no way interfere with the appointment of those who are to become their brethren." We are not aware what is the cha racter of the clergyman under whom the Honourable Member for Greenock sits (using the Scotch phrase), but if he is a hot Non-Intrusionist, the fate of Mr. WALLACE as regards Church privileges, is sealed. Nothing short of excommunication could atone for such a wanton inter ference with the rights of the Church. There is no news of importance to English read ers in the French papers. They confine their marks entirely to the forthcoming elections in France. The Royalists, the Republicans, and the Doctrinaires are all in the field with their programmes of soundins; common places. _ _ _ The three steam-boats, the Archimedes, the Papin, and the Blasco de Garay, built at London for the Papal Government, will immediately quit Paris, to proceed up the Seine and the Yonne, pass through the Canal de Bourgagne, and descend the Soane and Rhone to Marselles. The steamers will touch at Toulon, Genoa, Leghorn, Civita Vecchia, and Orlie, and proceed up the T iber to the walls of Rome. —Moniteur. A general order, dated Algiers, the 20th of May, announces that each of the three provinces of Algiers, Oran, and Constan tine, shall be henceforth administered separately by a Military Int endent. Constitutionnel. The Toulonnais of the 9th has the following from Al giers Our army has left us to go and meet General Bu geaud, and he having gone a:great way into the country, it fol lows that we know nothini , except by hearsay. "We are persuaded that General 13ugeaud will come to Algiers, after his stay at Blidah. We expect him with im patience, for he will see with his own eyes the state of our affairs. Pei haps he will comprehend our doubts of his sue ces es, for he is obliged himself to have a regiment to accom pany him from Blidah to Douera, and even to Dely Ibrahim, within a league and a half of Algiers. " It is still said that Abd-el-Kader is in the East, yet he attempts nothing, and Ben Salem does not appear. We attri bute this tranquillity to the desire of the Bedouins speedily to get in their harvest, and we are confirmed in this by the re ports of the Arabs, who come from time to time to get them selves taken, to serve afterwards as spies." The other Toulon journal, the Sentinelle de la Marine, of the Bth says, " The news from the East is not favourable."— Commerce. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND , VUbitt OPtlitOtt. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. The King of the French presided at a Cabinet Council on Sunday, and signed the Royal Ordonnance for convoking the Chambers for August 3, and the Electoral Colleges to return Deputies on Saturday, July 9. A letter from Havre of the 12th just., says :—His Royal Highness the Prince de Joinville arrived this morning f. om Paris, almost unattended, and has taken his passage on board the Grand Turk for Southampton to-morrow. The Prince may, therefore, reach London on Tuesday afternoon, and thus put an end to all the silly reports that have been so industriously circulated. The Moniteur Parisienne announces that the King of the French had reduced the terms of imprisonment of M. Lange Levy, printer of the Charivari, and M. Proux, printer of the Mode, sentenced for seditious libels ; the former to six months' confinement, the latter to three months—to two months and one month. The Commerce persists in maintaining the truth of its state ment, that a complete rupture had taken place between Queen Christina and the leading members of her party, in consequence of ker refusal to join in, or sanction any further insurrection in Spain. The Commerce, therefore, calls upon the Regent to publish an amnesty to recall to Spain the refugee Moderados. Letters from Toulon of the 9th, on the authority of advises from Algiers of the sth, mention that rumours were in circu lation in the latter port, that the province of Constantino had risen against the French. General Bugeaud was at Blidah, Alsd-el-Kader was in the East organising the tribes. The Journal du Geneve of the 10th announces that the new constitution was adopted by the Electoral Colleges, by a majo rity of 4,844 against 530, The constitution of 1814 had only 2,444 votes, out of 40,000 inhabitants, whilst that of the con stitution of 1842 had about double, say 4,844, out of 59,800. The Suabian Mercury of the 10th inst. states, that the Russian Givernment had entered into a negotiation with the house of Steiglitz to obtain the funds necessary for the con struction of the railroad from St. Petersburgh to Moscow. The sum required is 50,000,000 rubles, to be advanced at the rate of 10,000,000 each year. The Treasury had proposed to guarantee an interest of 5 per cent. to the lenders. rHE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 15,, 1842. P.a.ILLIAMENT.aIiIr. The Lords carried the Income-tax Bill through a Commit tee last night without any discussion, that being postponed till Friday. The Peers held a short conversation about the Special Com mission which has been issued to try offenders in Tipperary, which, the Marquis of Clanricarde implied, was something like an unnecessary job. The Copyright Bill went through a Committee with amendments. The Witnesses Indemnity Bill, the Standing Orders having been suspended, went through several stages, and was passed. Lord Brougham explained its provisions, and made some caus tic remarks on the House of Commons. Their Lordships then adjourned. In the Commons, Mr. Shaw moved to issue a new writ for Belfast, and Mr. O'Connell, as an amendment, moved that a Committee be appointed to inquire whether a corrupt compro mise had taken place. The motion to issue the writ was ne gatived by 170 to 73, Sir Robert Peel speaking an d vot i ng against it ; and the Committee was ordered. The House then went into a Committee on the Customs' Act--the Tariff, and was employed the greater part of the evening in discussing the proposed enty on coals exported. It was opposed by Lord Howick, Mr. F. T. Baring, and others, and supported by Sir R. Peel and Lord John Russell—who left his party to vote for a tax—and others, and finally carried as the Ministers proposed, by 200 to 67. The debate was a little enlivened by a personal difference between Lord Howick and Mr. Bell, which brought before the public the manner of carrying on negotiations with the Trea sury, and illustrated the old saying, that if you want a gate ask for timber to build a house. Sir Robert Peel frightened the coaluwners with a threatened 4s. dutyr so they thought them sehes happy to acquiesce in a 2s. duty, which they supported. The debate was closed by Mr. C. Buller, in a short and sen sible speech. The House sat till a Quarter to Two. PUBLIC OPINION. The Chronicle thus alludes to Lord Ashley's Nine-Regula tion Bill :—" Objection has been made to Lord Ashley's Bill for regulating employment in mines, that it will deteriorate the value of some coal-pit., enhance the price of coals, and injure the collier labourers. There are a few coal mines at present in work, and but a few, in which the beds of coal are so thin that horses or asses cannot be employed to draw the coal from the spot where it is detached through the subterranean road ways. Along these pas,ages, often not more than two feet in height, children are employed either to drag, by means bf the girdle and chain, or else to push, the car of coal provided by the dicker. Of course their motion can only be that of crawling on their hands and knees. This cruel and beastly work is, in the few instances alluded to, essential to the profitaJle working of the mine. The Commissioners report that It is imi by any outlay compatible with a profitable return, to render sutir coal-mines, happily nut numerous or of great extent, fit for human beings to work in ; they never will be placed in such a condition ; and, consequently, they never can be worked with out inflicting great and irreparable injury on the health of the children.' This is, we believe, the only case in which the existing value of mine property will be, or need be, deterio rated by the restrictions which Lord Ashley proposes. In other cases the application of capital and skill to the improvement of the state and arrangements of the mine will not only render it a wholesomer scene of labour, but eventually bring its own remuneration." The Times thus alludes to the Recorder's charge, as regards Francis, the man accused of high treason In another column of our paper will be found the charge of the Recorder to the London Grand Jury, directing them in their proceed ings with regard to the man Francis, who lately attempted the life of the Queen. This case, in the stage with which he had to deal with it, was not a very complicated one. It is tolerably clear, whatever may hereafter follow, that the case is, at any ra:e, not one to be quashed by the Grand Jury, yet the state ments of that Judge respecting the allowances made to criminals charged with high treason, and the operation of the law as it now stands upon such persons, will be read with in terest at the present moment. (here are, perhaps, few points on whit:hour present and our ancient law are in more market contrast than this. The divinity that hedged a king in former days is faded in these latter times—power and prestige have changed their places, and whatever corresponding evils may have resulted from that revolution in opinion, we may at least congratulate ourselves that it has swept away from this part of our law those unjust and arbitrary principles which made the very enormity of the crime a substi tute for evidence—the weight of the threatened punish ment a reason for impeding the prisoner in the prosecution of his defence. This, indeed, is a principle of judgment too deeply rooted in human nature to be expelled from the popular mind by any amount of Acts of Parliament. The mass of the people, who are anxious only to see some correspondence hr. tvveen the crime and the punishment, will adopt it, though they are hap, fly unable to apply it practically, in all those cases where their own feelings are arouied, let the law re nounce it as loudly and effeciivtly as it will. I3ut this is a triflmg evil. A more real satisfaction is it to observe the care with which, in later days, the full advantages of the law have been secured to those who, however aggravated the crime of which they are accused, are yet to be presumed innocent till they are proved gu lty, and certainty are rot in a position v. hich requires any unnatural weight of power to be added to that which they have already arrayed against them. If we rightly interpret the Recorder's charge, so far ha.l this care Inc those involved in this kind of accusation been carried, that it was necessary to pass an Act of Parliament (of 39 and 40 George III.) to deprive even men who had made direct at tempts upon the lite of the Sovereign of advantages then de nied to those who were under trial for an ordinary at:empt to murder." The Post has the following remarks :—" We do not think that any language we could use would be too strong for the re • probation of the attempts which certain journals are now making to turn to political account the distress which so un happily prevails in some of the manufacturing districts. What can be more wicked than to represent to destitute crowds who are hungry because they have not the ordinary means of buying. food, that a remedy lies in a reconsideration of the Corn-laws? What can be more false and mischievous than to represent to these poor people that, at the present time, food is " enormously high in price?" Food is not enormously high in price, and it is manifest that no reduction of price which wonld not be utter ruin to the work-people engaged in the prodr^* f food, could materially benefit those who are suffering from distress. Food is now rather cheaper than it has been for several years past, and the working classes have often been prosperous (be cause sufficiently employed) when food of all kinds was dearer than it is at present. The representations of the desirableness of an additional supply of foreign corn and of food at a cheaper price, are tile delusions put forward by selfish speculators, or by those who wildly give way to the impulse of political virulence. Unfortunately, the case is a much more difficult one than they represent and it is they who have made it so." MThe Southern Reporter has the following remarks on the assacre at Ennis :--" Every circumstance detailed in the evidence shows that this fearful and fatal scene was enacted at a moment when no necessity existed even for a more moderate effort on the part of the police to disperse the crowd ; as, from the testimony of the resident Stipendiary Magistrate and others, it is clear that they could have been entirely dispersed without presenting a bayonet at them, and, were, in fact, retiring at the time they were fired at. The shuffling with which the parties in command endeavour to get rid of the responsibility attachable to their conduct forms rather a striking feature in the matter; but we have every confidence that the result of the pending investigation will satisfactorily fix the guilt in the proper quarter. In the meantime it is satisfactory to ksuow that prompt mea , ures have been taken to render the parties amenable to justice in the ecrnrni:tal of the police to prison and we trust that the promises of those gentlemen who so laudably exerted thems, Ives to prevent the infuriated populace from taking retributive justice on their assailan's will be fully sustained in subjecting those who are guilty of, and morally responsible far, so foul a'crime to all the consequences which the law of the land will firmly and impartially deal sta." MONEY - TRADE-COMM E RCE. A superb entertainment was given on Monday at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, in aid of the funds which have been collected for the support of the Jews' Hospital. The subscriptions for the evening amounted to 9301. It is expected that, in consequence of the approaching great agricultural meeting at Bristol, at which Prince Albert and several foreign Princes will be present, the receipts on the Great Western Railway, it is said, will exceed 20,0001., from the I Ith to the 18th of July next. Trade at Burnley, though cry depressed, is not so great as stated. At Todmorden and the neighbourhood, a considerable number of hands are out of employ, but this arises from the mills being without water. Sir John Wahham, one of the Assistant Poor-law Commissioners, is in the neighbourhood, distri buting money from a considerable sum from the Manufacturers' Relief Fund. ELECTXONEER.ING. The nomination of candidates for the Newcastle.•under- Lyme election rook place on Monday : the parties nominated were Mr. Hank, the late Liberal Member, and Mr. J. C. Colquhoun, Conservative ; the show of hands was greatly in favour of the former: the polling commences to-day. NAVAL AND MI XTAN.Y. Detachments from seven regiments, consisting, collectively of 792 rank and file, now stationed in garrison at Chatham, have been ordered to proceed immediately for China, by the route of Bombay. LAW AND PO LICE.

The prisoner was remanded. Mr. J. Pridham was on Monday committed for trial at Marl borough-street, for a violent assault on Licut.-Col. Baron Osten. Sarah Goodwin, the wife -of a Mediterranean trader, was brought up at Union-hall on Monday for attempting to drown herself, and being unable to find bail for six months, was locked up. Three seamen, named Anderson, Swainson, and Seldon, belonging to the Neptune steatn.ship, were charged on Monday at the Thames Police-office with smuggling 261bs. of foreign tobacco, for which they were fined POOL , and removed to Kingston Gaol for nou-payment. LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC. Experiments in the Woolwich marshes were carried on on Monday before Colonel Cockburn and Lieut.-Col. Dansey. THEATRICAL.

The Earl of Charleville has disposed of his Ruthmarra estates to Richard Russell, Esq., far 12,0001. The Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry has nearly recovered from his long and severe illness. The Duke of Cadiz and the Duke of Seville arrived in Lon don on Sunday, from Rotterdam. The superb entertaiment which was given en Thursday last by Lord and Lady Beresford, was in celebration of the marriage of Lady Mildred Cecil with Mr. A. Beresford Hope. The preliminaries of marriage are finally adjusted between the Earl of Desart, M.P., and Lady Elizabeth Lucy Camp bell, third daughter of the Earl and Countess of Cawdor. The Noble Earl has not long come of - age, when he took possession of a large, unencumbered rent-roll. A marriage is spoken of between one of the accomplished daughters of a Rev. and Noble Lord, and a gallant Captain in the Scots Fusilier Guards. The young lady is distinguished by high musical and literary acquirements. 52ISCELX.A.MEOUS. As her Majesty passed through the Grand Hall, at Windsor, to her travelling carriage on Monday, for town, two cf the students of Eton Colege.presented her with an address, con gratulating her on her late escape ; the signatures were up wards of 600 in number. The Caledonian Fancy Dress Ball, for the benefit of the Caledonian Asylum, and the Scottish Hospital, took place on Monday evening, at Willis's Rooms. From 800 to 900 persons were present, a vast number of whom appeared in the rich and picturesque costumes worn at the Queen's masque. RUMOURS OF THE DAT. Lord De Grey's recent visit to London was caused by the dif ferences which prevail between the Orange managers at the Castle and the more liberal members of the Irish Government. His Excellency, after the lapse of a few weeks, is to proceed to England to recruit his health, which is really affected ; and in a few weeks more his successor will probably be announced. The Earl of Jersey is spoken of as the new Lord Lieutenant. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. This has been altogether a blank day in the money market, as have many of the preceding. This may be accounted for by most of the stocks being closed, and the absence of speculators from political causes. Prices, which at the commencement of business, had been somewhat depressed, rallied towards the afternoon, and Consols left off at 91i 914 for the opening, ex dividend; Three per Cents. Reduced, 914 913 ; Bank Stock, 167 168 ; Exchequer Bills, 47 49 prem. Dutch Two and a Half per Cents. were a shade lower, being 52j 523; the Five per Cents, remained at 101 1013 ; as did Belgian at 102 103; Danish, 803 813 ; and Brazilian, 663 673. 'h he quotation for Mexican declined to 36* 363. Brighton Railway Shares improved to 353 354 ; the other lines remained the same ; London and Birmingham, 177 179 ; Birmingham and Gloucester, 50 52 ; Great Western, 89 90 ; the Half Shares, 62* 621 ; North Midland, 65 67 ; the New Shares, 32 33 ; South Eastern and Dover, 254 26* ; New, 66i ; Eastern Counties, 9 9 1 4 ; Northern and Eastern, 41* 41; Blackwall, 103 11.

Money was exceed ingly scarce in the Market, and was worth 8 to 12 per cent., being lent only on personal security. Although the quotations for the Exchanges do not vary materially from Friday, business was very flat, with but little cluing.

It is stated that the Government are determined not to allow Lord Ash bin ton's mission to be fruitless, but that the question of the Maine boundary shall be satisfactorily arranged before his de parture. So strongly has the importance of his journey been fdt, that instructions had been given to countermand orders fur launching four new frigates, as well as to reduce the pre sent naval force and the army. Business had decidedl y improved, and from app earances , although no great inquiry could be expected for two or three months, yrt it was anticipated that in the autumn a sure, steady, and safe demand would arise. The Government had obtained three and a half millions of dollars on account of the loan at 90 per cent. ; but encouraging as these accounts are, it is to be hoped that none of it will find its way to this country for reasons before assigned. Most of the low-priced, or, as they are there termed, " fancy" stocks, had improved, Indiana being 204 20i. Ex;:hange on England Si prem. . It has been conjectured by many that the intelligence from St. Domingo is grossly exaggerated, and even was disbelieved on 'Change ; but private letters, from sources too respectable to admit of a doubt, confirm the fact of the calamity having taken place, though it is to be hoped that it is greatly over charged, which is only to be expected from the contusion which must naturally exist. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The English funds are again, a trifle below yesterday, but there literally has been nothing doing, the Stock Exchange being almost deserted.

The Bonds are quoted —Portuguese Five per Cent s ., 34 ; Spanish Five per C e nts., 22; the Three per C e nt s ., 2 2 1 23. On account of to-morrow being the arrangement of specula tive bargains in these documents, money has been very scarce, the rate varying from 7 to 11 per cent., according to the credit of borrowers, while in the English market, and for discount purposes, it is easy at from 3 to 4 per cent. It will be collected from the debate on the tariff last night, that although the duties on coffee were fixed at the proposed rates, and that cn tea continued, that the question of reduction remains open for further consideration. The only argument used in defence of them w6s, that the revenue at present wa s not in a condition to allow of any experiments. This is, per haps, feasible, b u t t h e policy of retaining such enormous foes upon articles of nec e s s ary consumption was not at tenneed to be def.nded. e quantity of coffee used last year was upwards of 28,000,0001b5., and more than 36 , 0 00,0001b5. a o r t e tea t , be mo m st o o re f w e h e i v el e i re wastaken by the lower c l asses, who sufferers by the eff ec t o f t h e indirect taxation, inasmuch as every tradesman calculates his profit at a per eet.tage on the cost to him, and the consumer, therefore, has to pay a per tentage on the duty as well as on this bonded price. Among the smaller cla•s the quantity liaises through vat ious hands, all of whom make a similar calcu • latinq ; and thus the more the article is sub-divided the more enhanced does the price become in compar.son with buying from first parties. The tariff generally appears to have been formed with the intention of lowering the duties upon articles of every day consumption to the smallest possible ioint, and it is to be regretted that the duty upon those and some few other articles have been retained, to appear as blots on the whole measure, which it is to be hoped will, at the earliest possible period, be reconsidered. LIVERPOOL COTTON M AR KET, JUNE 13.—The market had a dull aspect to-day, but prices were not lower. About 4,000 bales were sold, of which speculators took 500, and ex porters 300 American. LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, JUNE 13.—The market showed a trifling improvement in the demand, while there were fewer shares offering. The sales comprised Easteru Counties, New, 4/. 19s. 2d. ; Grand Junction, 1901; Halves, 95i ; North Midland Halves, 32; South Eastern, 26i; New, 6i. MANCHESTER.

The pro duce of sugar has decreased from 4,103.800 cwt. in 1831, to 2,151,217 cwt. in 1842 ; rum has decreased from 7,844,157 gallons in 1831, to 2,770,161 gallons in 1841 ; coffee has deceased from 20,030,8021b5. in 1931 to 9,927,689 lbs. in 1841, whilst cocoa has nearly doubled in quantity. It was the duty of the Government to have adopted some measure for the supply of free labour on the emancipation taking place, as urgently called for by the planters, but nothing whatever was done in aiding that object whilst the anti-slavery advocates and Com mittee have used their most strenuous efforts to prevent any free labour from Africa or from the United States being sent to the British Colonies. And hence the pre sent state of those Colonies. • Including Overproof. THE SUGAR DUTIES. The other evening Mr. Mark Philips presented, in the House of Commons, a petition for the equalisation of the duties on foreign and colonial sugar, from the Manches ter Chamber of Commerce. The petition is one replete with so much valuable information on this enormous monopoly, that we need offer no apology to our readers for placing it on record in our columns : To the Honourable the Commons of the United King dom, in Parliament assembled, &c. The petition of the Directors of the Chamber of Com rnerce and Manufactures at Manchester Humbly showeth,—That your petitioners approach your Honourable House with deep complaint against the system under which the import duty upon sugar has been long and still continues to be regulated ; a system which inflicts gross injustice upon consumers, whilst it is fraught with most appalling evils to commerce. That the effects thus shortly stated become painfully manifest on a slight consideration of the results which have followed the course of legislation in reference to sugar, to which your petitioners respectfully take leave to draw the attention of your Honourable House. That, for the statements now placed before your Ho nourable House, your petitioners have had reference only to documents placed by authority before Parliament, from which it appears, first, that at the stated decennial years the following were the COURT CIRCULAR. Her Majesty, the Queen Dowager, accompanied by their Serene Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Saxe Meinengen, and the Duchess Ida of Saxe Weimar, visited the Queen and Prince Albert yesterday afternoon at Buckingham Palace. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester also visited her Majesty and his Royal Highness yesterday afternoon.

A LETTER TO EARL 1)E GREY, ON THE AMELIORATED CONDITION OF IRELAND. By W. W. SIMPSON, Member of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, and the New Royal Agricultural Society of Ireland. We have read this letter with great delight. Every Briton must take an interest in the condition of Ire land, and it is gratifying therefore to find that her prospects are every day becoming more bright, that riot and drunkenness are giving way to order and so briety, that agriculture is making rapid progress in various parts of the island, that the landlords begin to see the advantage of acting generously towards their tenantry, and that a general moral improvement has taken place in the habits of nearly all classes. Thanks to the Governments of Lord N ormanby and Lord Ebrington. They treated the Irish like rational beings, and their lenient and just administration of the laws were amply repaid by the obedience of a grateful people. Mr. Simpson has had much inter course with that country; he has paid great attention to the improvements in progress ' • he is not a partisan either in politics or religion ; and we therefore quote with great satisfaction the following tribute to the good conduct of the people : " For the last nine years," says he, " I have been led, by the duties of my vocation, to visit all parts of Ire land, and have thus been enabled to form a tolerably corre-t opinion of the habits of the peasantry in the different districts ; and it is gratifying to be able to state that the drunkenness, squalor, and misery, which a few years since it was painful to witness, have now, in many instances, given way to sobriety, cleanliness, and comfort. In my last two visits to Ireland I saw but one drunken person, and this, I regret to say, was one of the softer sex ; whereas, on former occasionv, I have seen hundreds; and where fightings at fairs and markets were common events, nothing of the kind now occurs." The next paragraph is little less gratifying : '• Another most important reformation in the habits of the peasantry has developed itself in the gradual adop tion of a better system of husbandry, whereby those small farmers who were formerly scarcely able to pay their rents or to procure the common necessaries of life, are now enabled to satisfy all the just demands of their landlords, and procure for themselves and their families those comforts for which their newly acquired habits of temperance and industry have given them a proper and wholesome relish. The better cultivation of the lands and the moral improvement of the people have proceeded pari passu." . _ _ We have not space to notice all the topics embraced in this excellent letter, but we call the attention of the reader particularly to the remarks on " Inglis's Visit to Ireland." Many of the statements in that work, generally taken as gospel, have been incon testibly refuted by Mr. Simpson. One extract will suffice : " The Marquis of Waterford and the Beresford family come in for a share of the misrepresentation so unjustly dealt out by Inglis. Of my own knowledge, denied from personal observation, and corroborated by the testimony of many respectable individuals, I can aver that a more kind or more liberal landlord than the Marquis of Waterford does not exist. His lands are let at exceedingly moderate rents, and his disposition to wards his tenants is best evinced by the deep respect in which they hold him. I have the pleasure of an acquaintance with the Messrs. Malcolmson, the pro prietors of the cotton factory at Mayfield on this estate, which I was particularly invited to see, and it is curious that during that acquaintance I have never heard one word about the obstacles which the Beresford iamily threw in the way of their establishment, as alleged by Inglis." In addition to the letter, in the pamphlet there is an appendix containing some useful original papers on the state of the country, and we therefore recom mend the small work to the attention of all those who take an interest in the welfare of the sister island. MILITARY INTELLIGENCE, CHATHAM, MONDAY, JUNE 13.---An official order has just been received in this garrison for an embarkation of troops to proceed immediately for China. '1 he following different corps and the number of men each with their officers, have been selected from the pro visional battalion to fill up the casualties arisen to the Regiments in that country. 'the troops have r ece i ve d orders to be in readiness for embarkation to-day, when they will march from this garrison to Gravesend, and there embark for their destigration. The 113th Regi merit of Foot has 100 rank and file under the comman of Lieutenant Bloomfield, with Ensign Ward and Ensign Bre therton ; the 26th Cameronians, 24 rank and file; the 55th Regiment, 104 rank and file, under the command of Lieutenant Edwards, with Ensign Loyd and Ensign Hickson; the 57th, Captain Best—making a total of 7 officers and 228 rank and file, which proceed by the ship Orestes; 26 rank and file of the 26th Cameronians, under the command of Lieutenant Lovett, with Ensign Bradon ; the 39th, Captain Herbert, takes charge of the 49th, consisting of 160 rank and file, with Lieutenant Blackhall and Ensign Thompson. The above proceed with the ship Hindostan. On Wednesday, the 22d inst., orders have been received to embark at Gravesend from the depot of the East India Company, at Brompton, 150 rank arid file of the East India Company's Infantry. Their orders are to proceed for Bombay. Did you ever see two women pass each other in the street, without each turning round to see what the other had on? This table indicates at what a cost to consumers this baneful monopoly is preserved. In 1830, with a popu lation of 24,304,799 souls, the consumption of sugar was 3,722,044 cwt., the average Gazette price of Muscovado being 245. I ld. per cwt. In 1840, with a population ex ceeding 27,000,000, the consumption had fallen to 3,594,832 cwt.. but the average Gazette price had risen to 495. Id. per cwt. Referring to the prices of Brazilian sugar during the eleven pears from 1830 to 1840, extracted from a paper laid before your Honourable House, it is seen how grievous is the monopoly which your petitioners depre cate. Without allusion to previous years, the price paid for colonial sugar over and above that at which Brazilian sugar was sold in our ports amounted, on the diminished consumption of 1840, to the sum of 4,957,8731. for that year alone, besides the duty, which amounted in that year to 4,449,0701. • • - That your petitioners humbly submit to your Honour able House, that, besides the injury inflicted upon con sumers by the present system, in the undue enhancement of prices, and the abridgment of the comforts of the people, other are inseparably connected with it, both ui the purchase for import and the sale for export, as seen in the following table : BRITAIN AND HER WEST INDIA COLONIES. The th:CreaSe Lh's. sugar and coffee in these colonies is a strong ground for oar advocating the admission of foreign coffee and sugar, and ought ere this to have induced the Government to have adopted the liberal course, so strongly recommended by all the merchants who appeared before the Commit tee on Customs and Imports in 1840, and which may be said to have laid the foundation for the alterations which have been made in the Tariff by Sir Robert Peel ; and it must be deeply regretted by every friend of humatity that all the great and important articles of food and of colonial produce have been excluded by the Right Hon. Baronet from his reform, whilst the population of these kingdoms are suffering the greatest privations from the monopolies and protection retained in the new . Tariff.

That your petitioner;beg, in the first place, to remark the vast diminution which has taken place between the years 1830 and 1840, in the production of the West Indies, amounting to no Tess a quantity than 1,698,505 cwt. in the latter compared with a year ten years antecedent,. although, during the whole period the West Indies enjoyed an undisturbed advantage of 395. per cwt. in duty over foreign sugar. That, in the opinion of your petitioners, the smallness of the increase in the production of the East Indies and .Mauritius, is butlittle less remarkable than the diminu tion of that of the West Indies, being only 248,354 ca t. From the 25th July, 1825, the sugar of the Mauritius has been placed upon the same rate of duty as the West Indian. The import of Mauritius sugar was, in 1830, 485,710 cwt.; in 1840, 545,007 cwt. ; showing an increase of only 59,297 cwt. in ten years, under all the advan • tages of monopoly. That as regards east India sugar, from the year 1820, to the sth July, 1830, theduty upon it was 375. per cwt., being 10s. percwt. more than the duty on the sugar of the West Indies. The import of East India sugar, in 1825, was 143,993 cwt.; in 1830,213,494 ; but it fell off in Tian tity during the five succeeding years, the average from 1830 to 1835 bein g on ly 107 , 943 cw t . p er year. On the 13th August, 1836, the duty was reduced to the same rate as the West Indian ; and the following changes have resulted. The imports were, in 1836, 171,758 cwt.; in 1837, 302,945 cwt.; in 1838, 474,100 cwt.; in 1839, 587,142 cwt.; and in 1840, 498,730 cwt.; giving reason to fear, as indicated by the figures of the three last years, that India, like the West Indies and the Mauritius, is resting upon her share of the monopoly, and that the interests of consumers will not be considered so long as the present system endures. The table of imports shows, that the total import of sugar in 1840 is less by upwards of 20 per cent. than it ,% as ten years previously, and by 5 per cent. than it had been twenty years before, although the population had maintained a large and steady increase. The reproaches cast upon the present system of mo nopolies have not been adopted by your petitioners with out careful study, induced by the deep distress which surrounds them ; and they again appeal to the official documents before your Honourable House in confirma tion of their truth, as indicated by the article of sugar.

On comparing this table with the table of imports, it will be observed, that the exports in the years 1820 and 1830 greatly exceeded the quantity of foreign sugar im ported, and consequently that the difference was made up of colonial sugar. In 1840, however, the circum stances are changed ; the advance of the Gazette average from 245. I Id. in 1830, to 495. Id. in 1840, left no colo nial sugar for exportation ; but, on the contrary, a docu ment presented to your Honourable House, in May, 1841, shows that 2,316 cwt. of foreign sugar paid the consump tion duty of 635. per cwt. in that year. The column of refined sugar exported indicates the downward progress of the refining trade. In 1820, the export of manufactured sugar was 646,245 cwt. ; during . - the year from the 25th June, 1839, to sth July, 1840,i: ha,' fallen to 193.354 ext.
