BRUSSELS PAPERS. BRUSSELS, Msatcx 15.—The Chamber of Repre sentatives, in the sittings of 12th, 13th, and 14th March, continued the discussion of the project of law respecting the iron rail-ro - ad. Several members spoke for and against the project. The Senate has commenced the discussion of the pro ject of law, giving a rate of credit of 2,800,000 francs to the Minister of War. The Minister of War said that General Dumoulin having, in his last letter (that of 28th February), declared that he would confine himself to the radius of two leagues, asserting, however, that the legal radios was four leagues, as laid down in the convention of 28th May, 1832. between the Prince of Hess Hom burg and General Goethels, the Government is nego tiating to have the point definitively settled. He has ordered the radius of four leagues not to be infringed upon at present; but the continuation of the order will depend on the conduct of the• garrison. MARCH 14.—Act. Debt, 2i per Cent., 57i ; Roths child's Loan, 5 per Cent., 971 ; Loan of the City, 1833, 5 per Cent., 94. ODESSA, FEB. 14.—The weather has become more mild, and the ice in the road begins to melt, but the snow continues to fall in great abundance. The storms at the end of December caused a drift of snow, which occa sioned the destruction of a great quantity of cattle that the Tartars about Perecop had driven on to the step of land between the sea and the Dnieper, and which being terrified ran to the sea coast and plunged into the wave+. TLe loss of horses, oxen, and sheep is estimated at the sure of between four and five millions of rubles. DUTCH PAPERS. THE HAGUE, MARcn 13.—Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Orange and his eldest son left Berlin on the Bth, to return to the Hague. They will stop a couple of days at Weimar. The States-General will meet on the Ist of April. We hear that they will first deliberate on the projects of law relative to the national legislation; then a plan for re:ue ing the bonds at six per cent., with that, as some say, the means for providing for the extraordinary expenses of 1834 ; and likewise for regulating the deep deficiency that has arisen since 1830, a loan of forty-two millions is spoken of, in order to be Itt plied to carry their plans into effect. The printed answers to the observation of the section of the second chamber of the Statrs•General, respecting the 18th, 19th, and 20th chapters of the civil code, have already been sent to the members of the States-General, as well as those chapters with the corrections. His Majesty has lately conferred the order of William, and that of the Netherlands Lion, on 70 superior and other officers, subalterns, and privates, all of them belong ing to the garrisons ofMaestricht or the citadel of Antwerp.

One of the most extraordinary pieces of mechanism, perhaps, of ancient or modern times now forms an exhi bition at the Cosmorama Rooms, in Regent -street. It is the production of the ingenuity, perseverance, and skill, of one Jacob Love] ice, a watch and clock-maker, in Exeter, who died, notwithstanding his great talents, at the age of 60, in the greatest poverty in that city, on the Ist of April, 1716. Poor Lovelace, it is stated, was 34 years in completing this his favourite work, which is a splendid specimen of the science, ingenuity, and perseverance of an English artist, of the 17th century. We cannot do better than subjoin the proprietor's description of it, observing that a very intelligent person, a self-taught artist, attends in the exhibition room, and explains, in a very clear and obliging manner, the various parts of the mechanism. 1. A moving panorama, descriptive of day and night. Day is beautifully represented by Apollo in his car drawn by four spirited coursers accompanied by the 12 hours; and Diana in her car drawn by stags, attended by the 12 hours, represent night. 2. Two gilt figures in Roman costume, who turn their heads and salute with their swords as the panorama re volves; and also moves in the same manner while the bells are ringing. 3. A perpetual almanack, showing the day of the month on a semicircular plate. The index returning to the Ist day of every month, on the close of each month, wi4,flut alteration even in leap years, regulated only once in 130 years. 4. A elide, the index of which shows the day of the week, with its appropriate planet. 5. A perpetual almanack, showing the days of the month weekly, and the equation of time. 6. A circle, showing the leap year, the index revolving only once in four years. 7. A time-piece that strikes the hours and chimes the quarters ; on the face of which the whole 24 hours (12 day and 12 night) are shown and regulated. Within this :circle the sun is seen in his course, with the time of rising and setting, by an horizon receding or advancing as the days lengthen or shorten, and under is seen the moon, showing her different quarters, phases, age, &c. 8. Two female figures, one on each side the dial plate, representing Fame and Terpsichore, who move in time while the organ plays. 9. A movement regulating the clock as a repeater to strike or be silent. 10. Saturn, the God of Time, who beats in movement while the organ plays. 11. A circle on the face shows the names of the ten celebrated ancimt tunes played by the organ in the inte rior of the cabinet every four hours. 12. A belfry, with six ringers, who ring a novel peal ad libitum. The interior of this part of the cabinet is ornamented with beautiful paintings representing some of the principal ancient buildings of the city of Exeter. 13. Connected with the organ there is a bird organ which plays when required. From the appearance of the excavations, it .Loot be denied that the new Conservative Club-house is t ing on a sandy foundation. siECAY OF THE HUMAN FRAME.—Not -Tattistanding the renovating influence of sleep, which apparently brings up the lost vigour of the frame to a par ticular standard, there is a power in animal life which leads it almost imperceptibly on from infancy to second childhood, er that of old age. This power sleep, however healthy, is incapable of counteracting. Tie skis wrinkles, and everywhere shows marks of the ploughshare of Sa turn ; the adipose structure dissolves ; the bones become brittle ; the teeth decay or drop out ; the eye loses its exquisite sensibility to sight, the ear to sound ; and the hair is bleached to whiteness. These are accompanied with a general decay of the intellectual faculties ; there is a loss of memory, and less sensibility to emotion ; the iris hues of lave) , subside to twilight; and the sphere of thought and action is narrowed. The principle of decay is implanted in our nature, and cannot be counteracted. Few people, however, die of mere decay, for death is generally accelerated by disease. From sleep we awake to exertion—from death not at all, at least on this side of time. Methuselah in ancient, and Thomas Parr in mo dern times, ate well, digested n ell, and slept well ; but at length they each died. Death is omnivorous. The worm which crawls on the highway and the monarch en bis couch of state, are alike subjected to the same stein and inexorable law ; they alike become the vietims of LI e ueiver34l . tyrot....ilfacnioh'i Philosophy of Sleep. * 11144 LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 17, 1934. The general conduct of the Government relative to the execution of the penal laws, and more particularly their reluctance to inflict capi tal punishment, has met with general approba tion, and it is gratifying to find that all the fore bodings of the Draconists have been utterly falsified, and that the, decrease of crime is nearly in proportion to the decrease of theseverity of punishment. Under the old system, the Re corder seldom made his report without some convicts being ordered for execu- Capital punishment, then, was the general rule, now it is the exception. In the course of last year only two persons have been executed in London—not the average number of executions in a third rate provincial town previous to 1830, and the decrease of crime has been nearly in the proportion of one to three. The total number of persons committed amounted to 2,474, and the decrease, as corn-. pared with preceding years, is 1,036. The merit of this, however, is not altogether due to the present Government. Sir ROBERT PEEL is entitled to a share of it ; for it must be admitted on all hands, that whatever complaints there may be against the new police, they are much more efficient than the old watch in checking crime. It is only astonishing how slow we have been in adopting the rational system of endeavouring to diminish the number of offences rather by timely prevention than by undue severity. In the course of the same year sentence of death was passed on 107 per sons. Why not do away with this old barbarous practice of passing sentences by wholesale, while the law is not carried into effect in one case out of fifty ? - .lon. In another part of The Sun will be found a copy of Sir ANDREW AGNEW'S Bill to pro mote the better observance of the Lord's Day. We have read this bill with some attention, but whether it be from the extraordinary language in which it is drawn up, or from the vague and imperfectly developed nature of its provisions, we can make little or nothing of it. The first part is sweeping and puritanical to a degree, and worthy to have been drawn up by old Praise- God-Barebones himself; brit the last part, so far as rigidness is concerned, grows " small by de grees, and beautifully less," until it finally neu- tralizes the effect of almost all the earlier clauses. We are therefore disposed to look on the bill as a sheer impertinence, brought forward for no other purpose than to drag its author into notoriety as the first saint going. Among other curious matters, it provides that no publican shall open his house, or supply a meal to his guest on the Lord's Day ; that neither horse, chaise, cart, nor carriage shall be let out •on that day, but then neutralizes the effect of all this mischievous meddling, by stating that " nothing in the act contained shat extend to works of piety, charity, or necessity-" Why, the bill, clogged with a sweeping exception like this, will have not the slightest force ! F o r what Magistrate will deny that a good dinner is a matter of necessity, and that therefore the publican is perfectly justified in supplying his guests with it ? Again, what Magistrate will convict a person for letting out a gig to an invalid wh en it is clearly shown that his health depend on his taking such exercise? And what tradesman under the comprehensive plea of " necessity,' will not be able to set Sir ANDREW'S bill a' defiance ? We repeat that it is a sheer imperti nence, in which a would-be tyrannical spirit his strangely blended with an ultra-Scotch sense of discretion. We learn, by accounts from Italy, that a divi sion of our fleet in the Mediterranean is about to pay a visit to Naples, under the command of Admiral ROWLEY, though for %hat object does not appear. Two new frigates are nearly ready in that harbour. The two old line-of-battle ships are to be sold, and to be replaced by frigates. The Paris Papers of Friday and Saturday have been received. Their contents are not important. The discussion on the law for sup pressing associations closed on Friday, and the bill will be committed to-day. In consequence of the Chamber of Deputies having insisted on reducing the amount of the army proposed by Marshal SOULT to the extent of forty thousand men, it is said that the army of the Pyrenees is to be dis solved, while the furloughs already granted to officers is to be enlarged. The dissolution of the army of the Pyrenees, at the present mo ment, appears to us to be rather a questionable proceeding, until affairs in Spain are more settled. If we may believe the following para graph in a Morning Paper, the crisis in the Pe ninsula is not far distant : " VILLA FRANCA, MARCV 8, " A crisis in the affairs of Spain is fast approaching; priests, monks, and liberals, are actively at work—each determined to recruit his strength and to take advantage of the coming spring. The clergy, armed with the despotic —aye, tyrannic power, of compelling men, women, and children, to divulge their in. most secrets by the confessions previous to Easter, are too ruse politicians, not to avail themselves of this infamous inquisition, to intimidate the feeble—excite the fanatic-- and irritate the disappointed. Promises—with unsparing hands—will be lavished on the faithful, while pains, penalties, excommunication, and purgatory will be denounced against the infidel who, in act or deed, should dare offend the mother church, by engaging in a civil war tending to destroy the only true religion. The power of this dreadful weapon, " the confession," is superior to that of the Sove reign, and paralyses the efforts of the ministry, renders impo tent the government ordonnances, and raises a legion of super stitious devotees, prepared to sacrifice their very existence at the command •of the most bigotted or ferocious parish priest. It is, then, certain that the ranks of the Carlists will daily Increase, whilst the influence of the Queen in proportion will diminish, and a sanguinary struggle, of the most horrifying description, may be expected, where brother will meet brother in the field of slaughter, imbrue his hands in the blood of his dearest connections, and fondly imagine that his future salva tion is secured by extirpating a heretic offender ! Let, there fore, for the present all opinions as to the probable fate of Spain be suspended ; await the issue of the " confessions ;" take not the tranquillity of the Southern provinces as any proof of the stability of the existing Administration, nor the appa rent apathy at Madrid as showing a want of concord among the conflicting parties; a crisis in Spain is approaching, the horizon lowers, the storm will burst forth when least expected.

The German Papers assure us, under date of Vienna, that the navigation of the Danube by steam-boats will be much extended in the course of this summer. Five large steam-boats for this purpose are now building, in order to carry on the communication with Constantinople. When this is fairly established, great advantages are naturally expected to result to Hungary, and all places through which the navigation passes. VIENNA, MARCH 6.—Five p,r Cent.

The following is a copy of a letter received at Lloyd's, dated Messina, Feb. 22, 1834: " Sir,—l was called for this morning over to the Mala Spina, by Captain Henry Bourchier, R.N., passenger on board the schooner Leopold IL, by whom I was desired to get the following information transmitted to Lloyd's Agents, and it is therefore that I submit it to you :—Captain Henry Bourchier, R.N., left Bombay with Government despatches and mail on the sth November last, in the East India Company's schooner Nautilus, and was cast away on the sth December last, on the coast of Nubia, and after being four days in the boats, got to Suakin, and crossed to Burby, which place they left on the 13th December, and rode 600 miles on camels to the Nile, got to Crusere, or Goos, and from thence to Alexan dria, which place he left on the 9th instant. When he left Bombay, it was uncertain whether the steamer would start the Ist February or Ist March, depending on the governor-general. The mail he left at Alexandria (to go via Malta). The de spatches he takes with him to Leghorn. He would have per formed quarantine here, but was not allowed. . • " I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, " H. BARKER. " J. T. Fisher, Agent to Lloyd's, at Messina." CLUB EFFEMINACY.—At one of the fashion able Clubhouses, the members have lately been supplied with a number of bandscreene, similar to those used by ladies in drawing rooms, to protect their delicate visages from the invasion of coal fires. Quere—Whether sitting f:rtber from the fire would not answer the purpose as well ? An agriculturist residing in the northern part of Gloucestershire was lately invited to sup with a friend in a neighhouring tiwn; the evening was enlivened by muiic, both vocal and instrumental. On the following morning he met one of the guests, who said, " Well, farmer -, how did you enjoy yourself last night ? were not the quartets excellent?" " Why, really Sir, I can't Nay, fur I didn't taste 'em, but the pork chops were the fines , I ever ate." The residence of the Archbishop of Armagh in Charles-street, St. James's-square, is undergoing some improvements preparatory to the an ival of the Archbishop and his si'ters the Ladies Beresford, who are expected from the Palau Armagh at Eister. •. The new autobiography under the name of " Recollections of a Naval Life," is by Captain James Scott, an officer whose experience in his profession has been unusually varied and extensive. Hia work will em brace details of the whole of his active career from his first entering the service, a period, it •is believed, little short of 20 years, including the capture of Washington, (on which occasion, Captain Scott acted as the Aid-de- Camp of Sir George Cockburn) and other striking events of the last American war. The reported indisposition of the Bishop of Durham has given a mighty impetus to the devotion of certa'n big Wigs to the Orders that be. The pam pl.leteeriog Bishop, who hail received a half p•omise of this advancement in case of vacancy from an ex-Premier, like an eminent legal character, is now thrown overboard. He must endeavour to live and die in his present sleek habitation. LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, SATUR DAY.—Since our report of last week the cotton market has continued depressed, and the prices we then quoted are no longer obtainable ; we reduce them id. per lb. on Bowed, Alabama, and Orleans ; about Bt, on Brazils, and Id. on Sea bland. Speculators have taken 300 Ame rican and 300 Surat, and exporters 700 Surat.

ITCHEN BRIDGE PILL. Mr. PENLEAZE presented a petition from the inha bitants of Fair, and another petition, signed by 2,000 of the inhabitants of Southampton, in favour of the bill for building a bridge over the river lichen. The hon. member, after preventing the petitions, moved that the bill be read a second time. The Marquis of CHANDOS said that this was a case that called for the attention of the house. This was ori ginally a petition or a floating bridge, which waa referred to a committee, who reported aeainst the bill. The peti tioners finding that they could not carry it as it then stood, altered it from a floating bridge into a steam contrivance for the conveyance of passengers over the river. In his opinion this could not ba called a bridge. It was to be neither of wood nor stone, and it would considerably in terfere with the convenience of a great number of persons. He (the Marquis of Chandos) had already presented a pet , con, signed by 400 of the inhabitants of Southampton, against the bridge, which showed that there was a strong opinion upon the subject. It would also very much inter fere with the passage of vessels on the river, and he thought that it would be better to retain the present good ferry than to build a bad bridge. For these reasons, though he had no personal interest whatever in the mat ter, he would move as an amendment that the bill be read a second time that day six months. Mr. LABOUCHERE had no more personal interest in the hill than the noble lord, but defended the cocduct of the Hitches Bridge Company, who had done everything in their power to meet the wishes of the Admiralty Board, and to promote the comfort and convenience of the people of S ruthampton. _ _ Mr. ROB . INSON supported the bill. Some conversation took place between the SPEAKIR and some hen. members as to whether the standing orders hid been complied with ; they requi , el that the number and amount of subscriptions should be stated in the bill. Mr. CARTER observed, that the committee would have power to make the necessary inquiries. The SPEAKER said it appeared that the first intention was to erect a stone bridge ; but now it was designed to have a floating bridge only. The subscribers ought to have the option of one or the other, but if the bill was cut short in the second reading the subscribers would be prevented from executing either design. Mr. Alderman THOMPSON said he had been in structed by the shipowners of Hull to oppose this bill, under the impression that it was to b.! a fixed bridge, but after the explanation he should not oppose it ; but wished it to be postponed until after the recess, in order to satisfy himself on that point. The SPEAKER suggested that postponement would bt of little avail, as the committee could suppiy or obtain the information required. The bid was then read a second time, the amendment being withdrawn. CHURCH PATRONAGE. Lord ORMELIE presented petitions from Auchter order, Kingsforth, Thornhill, and Buchan, against church patronage in Scot:and. Likewise, a petition from the Wesleyan Methodists of the Poole circuit, against the union of Church and State. The noble lord dissented from the prayer of !he last petition. Mr. SJNCLAIR supported the prayers of the peti tioners. UNSOUNDNESS OF VESSELS. Mr. INGHANlpresented4 petition from theshipown era of South Shields, complaning of the unfit state in which vessds were sent to bra; likewise of the inadequacy of those appointed to command them. He attributed the negligence of merchants in this respect to insurance offices; for, by these they were indemnified.for any loss they might sustain, and were consequently regardless of human life. Alderman THOMPSON, in supporting the prayess=of the petition, took occasion to remark, that the 6d. a month paid by seamen towards the support of Green wich Hospital, was a great hardship upon them. He had a petition in his hand which he intended to pre sent on the subject, which was very numerously signed. v d e u s t s y e s b whout were were promoted r totally otme d Mr. BUCKINGHAM also considered that half the riar m ge nd that of lives lost at sea were to be attributed to the appointment of young men to tothe di c se o through interested motives. CHURCH ESTABLISHMENT. incompetentou o f Edinburgh, and th e t own o f L e i th and its vicinily, Mr. ABERCRON I BIE presented a petiti on from th e city praying for a reform in the church establishment, and a separation of the church from the state. The honourable member did not entirely concur in the prayer of the pe tition, but he bore testimony to the respectability of the petitioners, most o f whom were die-enters, and his con stituents. It had beer, agreed to at a public meeting, and WAS signed by 12,907, t!:e greatest portion of whom had affixed their residences to their n,mes. Such petitions corning at that particular ptn-iorl constituted a new feature in the present era. 1l thought that it bad become the duty of that house to consider what course it should pursue. The church establishment was strong in many respects—it was strong in the support of the government and the law of the land—it was strong in sup port of the peerage and of the ancient families and wealth of England. It was strong in the monopoly which it en joyed in the Universities, those great public institutions devoted to the instruction of the young of the higher classes. It was also strong in the support of that great body of persons who supported it, because it was the established church, and those who supported it from con scientious motives. If th ey l oo k ed on the other band at the dissenters, it would he found that they were strong in nothing but the strength of their arguments in favour of the opinions they maintained. Th ey comprised a large portion of the active, industrious, and intelligent community of the kingdom. They had no patronage to bestow, but they were strong in the prevalence of the opinions they professed. In proof of the sincerity of their opinions, they had withdrawn themselves from the wealth of the establishment, and no person could therefore impugn their motives or principles. He (Mr. A.) thought that the strength of the church did not con sist in its alliance with the state, but in in own peculiar importance and usefulness. (Hear.) He wished to see the dissenters relieved from the burdens which pressed upon them ; but he considered that the question of tithes stood upon a very different footing from all other matters connected with the church, and be con ceived that the dissenters were as much bound to pay sil t h i a t ohdretrsl rendered s tdoe a r n see y de o t ih t t l t cs r ob c u l iao.csbhsn obnoxious roi t up h sp e et do c o t oh m fe m t ph u eo ni os pe t yi people. abuses H T e h ewh hon.ob p i c e i d , member was loudly cheered at the conclusion of his address. Mr. SINCLAIR said there was no part of his right hon. friend's declaration that was more satisfactory than that in which he stated that he did not support the prayer of the petition. He agreed in the respectability of th e petitioners, but be denied that they spoke the senti ments of the maj. , rity of the people of Scotland—(Hear) — whether in numbers, intelligence, or wealth. In Scotland there was no institutiorr so dear to the people as the established church, and there were no individuals in that country to whom it was more valuable than those who contended f,r a reformation of teal abuses in the establishment.—(Hear, hear.) A national church cv,is a national blessing, and deserved national support; and he was rejoiced to find that an attachment to the church was not merely confined to its own members. Mr. ABERCROMBIE having explained, the petition was ordered to lie on the table. THE TIMBER DUTIES. _ _ _ Mr. HUTT presented a petition from Hull, praying for an alteration of the durie on wood. THE TEA DUTIES. _ _ The HON. MEMBER next 13rese;tedt;titiiinfrom James Smith and Co., tea-dealers, of Hull, complaining of the gra duated scale of duties on tea, as established by the bill of last year, which would, in the opinion of the petitioners, open a door to fraud, and be productive of great expense and inconvenience to the trade, without benefitting the public. He had also been intrusted by one tif the hon. members for London (Mr. Grote, we believe) with a petition signed by above one thousand persons connected with the tea trade in the city of London making a simi lar complaint. He had paid great attention to the sub ject, and he had come to the conclusion that the measure of last year would not be productive of the good that was expected, and although be was aware of the motives of hit Majesty's Ministers, he was convinced it would be pro ductive of ver) injurious consequences. Mr. CRAWFORD took that opportuniry of explaining the objects of the petitioners in the London petition. They claimed the pit ticular attention of the government and the house not merely on account of their numbers and re spectability, but on account of the importance of .the subject and the views which they set forth respecting it. Those vices involved considerations of great importance to the revenue of the country. The petitioners did not pray for a reduction of duty either on their own account or for the benefit of the public, but sought for protection against the frauds which would be committed, and the vexation they would exptrience by the operation of a scale of duties on teas.—(Hear, hear, heir.) It was now by common consent admitted that the present system of duty upon tea could no longer continue. There were two alternatives that presented themselves to govern ment when they were about to make a change in the system of duties, and in his (Mr. Crawford's) opinion the government had not decided wisely in the course th t had been adopted. It was only fair he should state his reasons fur coming to this conclusion. To render a scale of rated duties useful it was requisite in the first Alice that there should he certainty and facility in di,tineuishing the teas. This was necessary for theconvenience of bue.ness and also fur the better collection of the revenue, The next thing necessary was tLat there should be an adjus , ment of the duty according to the relative value of teas in the market so as not to destroy the consumption. Any violent action of prices w)uld so alter the course of consumption, that public. An Ainnie setelah;:ant e g mrb : vtcy. ouev was bnta euias:arc:draoatti. - though it would not affect the quantity consumed, it would materially diminish the duty. These must belong to a scale of rated duties to enable them to work well, and he was of opinion that neither ' - of these—namely, certainty and facility or an adjustment of duty, belonged to the scale of duties which were about to come into operation. His objection to its certainty and facility were because the sort of teas described could not be distinguishable by any acknowledged tests. The black teas, from the very su• perior qualities to the lowest, would all come under the same description, subject only to such a difference as common observation would enable one to make. The hon. member then referred to the catalogue of teas at the East India Company's last sale as the best evidence in jeccabduaßlell calculations, ena i lt e addes a terei i under the :ore : satha,atseitdoonnsa corrupt t hafa h oms the w Bae t 0: ls,oteiaieffectefepaete,ffßet tea inspectors oaci o htri f ei ocaf quality defrauding were support of his statement.

The hon. gentle qouaalipsedsasieda,le scale was to open the way for the importation of good teas m a n would be sold to the pub is as pure from adulteration of duty would prevent all —the importer alone deriving the lasnefit, and not the this —would insure an equal if not a greater amount of in making the du t t h y " re venue, and save consieerable expense and trouble in the working of the machinery. a t h d e o v b a j l e a c r t em o f wasgovern ment t to the poorer cla s ses from paying too high a rate for the sort of tea which they consumed.—(Hear.) He agreed with the hon. member, that simplicity and sxurity in the machinery of the Excise were desirable, and he was of opinion that both objects bad been secured, for govere.l ment bad not matured their plans without making experi ments, and obtaining information from practical men. Sir R. PEEL considered that there was not a question of more importance brought before the bowie this Session than the present. The article of Tea was one that yielded an itnmense revenue at comparatively little expense. In the year 1784. Mr. Pitt found it necessary to introduce the commutation act in order to pu t down smuggling; for at that period thirteen millions o f pound s were furnished by the East India Company, the rest but five milion and a half poundb e i ng cured by ille gitimatetiine between '700,000/. means. At t hatd the revenue by t ea and 800 , 0001 . were yiel..e to of tea were consumed in the United K in g dom, and y et an d Mr. Pitt, in order to p ut down smu ggling , lowere. l far as only to have a return of 170,0001. t o the revenue from the artic l e. The greatest caution the duties Bo should be taken to render any alteration as simple as pos sible; certain hazards undoubtedly would be - incurred, but free trade might counteract all disadvantages that were incidental to the alterations. It was imperative on 1 that house to bear iu mind the necessity of avoiding any complication in its future enactments as regarded the opening of the pmts.—(lleer, hear, hear.) He had thrown out these matters merely that the nob'e lord might see the dangers of the experiment he was about to make. The argument of the noble lord was very plausible, but be denied that because bohea was the cheapest, it was the most economical or the most generally used. Hereafter it was proposed to have a duty of Is. 6d. on boles, 2s. 2d. on congou, and 3s. on better descriptions. These duties were proposed on the ground that the poorer classes would pay the Is. 6d. duty, the middle classes would pay the 2a. 2d. duty, and the higher classes the 3s. duty; be he dewed that such would be the case. It would be found that the tea retailers in the working districts of the metropolis sold one hundred chests of congou for one of bohea ; and even in Ireland, which it was admitted was the poorest part of the empire, the quantity of congou sold was much greater than that of buhes. The present sale at the India House amounted to only 1,500,00011a5. of bohea, while there were not less than six millions six hundred and fifty four thousands of lbs. of congou—this would show the comparative consumption of the two descrip tions. He would give the house a statement of the teas sold by the Eist India Company, consisting of the first class of holies and common congou during the last three years. They were, in 1831, the finest bohea 3,300,000 pounds, and comm on congou tea 7,700,000 pounds. In 1832, of finest hohea, 3,620,000105., and of common Congou, 8,183,000 pounds; in 1823, of finest Bohea, 3404,0001:i5., and of common Cong?u, 9,116,0001b5, Notwithstanding so large a consumption t of Congou above that of B o hea, the difference in Pc ° - 1 3 thee sales was not a b ove II u I per lb., and yet the ‘-'; vernment proposed to mike a di ff erence in the dty 0 ; and tended 4o bring the good teas into Bd. per lb. He contended that that was in consisten Suppose a vessel went to India and brought b ac k 20, f 0 f u chests of tea, each weighing 801bs., it made no less di ; o r; enee than 50,0001. in duty alone, whether V id e 1, v. sse be Congou or Bohea.— (Hear, hear.) In large of course the case would be stronger, and would lt wise to put in the power of any man tn nl , l ;1 ke so great a difference.—(Hear.) He hoped the nohle!ur; would maturely reconsider his plan before he decdeu. upon adhering to it. Why should they try an Orr - , inent which there was so much reason to fear would fail r the danger t t The whole system was so complicated, he revenue so Veit , tha.! he implored the houte to give it full consideration before they adopted anY p'an. Mr. ROBlNSONsuggested, it b • past three o'clock, that the debate should be adjourned ; and the Speaker ac • cordingly left the chair. disfavoltor FORMATION of a STATISTICAL SOCIETY ticultural Society's -----..- A numerous meetin was held on Saturday a- " g pose cf inoituting a Statistical Society in the metropoli '• for the collection and clan-ification of all facts illustriti, of the present condition and prospect of society." A gre , many gentlemen eminent in various departments of liter: ture collected on the occasion. The Marquis of LanEdoum in the chair. _ Ro g orm, in Re ent-s.reet, for the pa t the Ho The Noble CHAIRMAN, in opening the business of the meeting, considered a swiety of the nature proposed the very best m eans t h at could be devised for accumu lating statistical inf ormat i on b oth with accuracy and i n a con densed form. Thi s soc i ety m i ght by its exertions a id the investigations of G overnment, an d t h e G overnmen t tvl s must anxious to av a il t h emse l ves o f suc h assistance as migh t be given. Mr. GOULBURN moved the first resolution, " to Th b a e t at a t c a c in u e ra d te wit k h n o o u w t l a edg c e ar o ef f u t l h c e oll a e c c t t u io a n l a C n o d nd e it as ion ianfic lid prospects of society is an object of great national imp i or s t ce , not tion of statistical facts." The LORD ADVOCATE seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. BARRAGE moved the next resolution. It would be known to most of the gentlemen present that s fe w years ago an association of learned gentlemen was formed under the denomination of the British Association, after y the manner of similar learned societies on the continent. This association had held meetings yearly in different places—at Oxford, Yurk, and Cambridge. A t the la en st (t) meeting at Cambridge a B e lgian gentleman, well known t in the literar world M. Quetele , Who ba d been s over to attend th e meeting, and to g i ve in!ormit ion to those assembled o f th e state of the arts sc iences ' and literature iu his own country, as well as t o bring henk C O his own country information of the state of hterature In England, Id tion suggested that a section of the British should be set aside for the exclusive nutlin se C lecting and arranging statistical facts. On this blot a statistical section was formed in the Association, an d , a committee appointed in London to conduct its affairs. This committee met several times; but in consequence . a „ le d, a feeling among the members that it wai impu,slh .'" conduct their inquiries as they were then " nstitut ; they resolved to endeavour to found a Statistical Socie y: which would have a regular place of meeting, "i.npruic, the tun hen per officers to conduct its affairs. This was which the present Society owed its origin. He t A.ssocia moved— " That a society be established by the nametical Society of London, the object of which shall be the co: condi • lection and classification of all facts illustrative of the the _ . tion and prospects of society, especially as it exists in the ! tish dominions ; and that the society consist in the t "he the stance of such of the present company as shall sub. above obligation. o f th . e " That the committee be empowered until the day re, and next meeting to receive signatures of additional Meng* to admit them fellows of the society." Mr. JONES seconded the resolution. bb age , iki r. On the motion of Mr. S. RICE, Mr. 131 1 —k-L u m.
