FRENCH PAPERS. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES—SITTING or MAY 4, M. Etienne took t'le.khair at 2,9 Minutes past 1. The proces verbal '7 as read and adopted-in the presence a about 20 deputies. • M. Bavoui reproduced his proposition for the re-esta blishment of the law of divorce, which had been adopted by the Chamber last session, but not discussed by the Cham ber of Peers. He suggested that the Chamber might at once re adopt it; but it appearing that the new standing order, relative to tl,e resumption of legislative measures, interrupted by the close of a session, could not apply to measures actually completed and sent to the otl.er Chamber, it wa- decided that the Ordinary course must he pursued, and M. Bavoux having contented himself with refetrrink to I,is former d e velopment in support of the proposition, the Chamber fixed Saturday next for th e di scuss i on as:" to whether it should be taken into consideration or not. A desultory conversation then took place, in which Colonel Paixhans, M. Salverte, M. Eschasseriaux, M. Donlon, M. Mangin d'Oens, and the Minister for Foreign Afflits took part, relative to the course to. be pursued in fixing the order of discussion of the measures before the Chamber. After a few words from the Minister of Justice, the Chamber decided, by a large majority (including M. Dupin), that the discussion on the Greek I..an should commence immediately after that on the municipal attri butions. When our reporter left, the Chamber was pro ceeding to the discussion of the articles of the bib for re gulating the municipal attributions. (From Galignani's Messenger, of Saturday.) The Augsburg Gazette of the 30th ult., brings gnce from Vienna, dared April 2Gth, 7 o'clock in the evening, which confirms what we have already given of the same date. " A courier from Constantinople," it says, his brought us the news of the conclusion of peace betwe , t) Mehemet Ali and the Porte. The latter has granted to the Viceroy the Pachalicks of Damascus and Aleppo, by which‘be becomes master of The commerce with Persia. The preliminaries of peace are said to have been guaranteed and signed by the Plenipotentiaries of the great Powers." • The Berlin State Gazette or the 28th ult. states that the birtl day of the Duchess of Cambridge was celebrated with great pomp at Hanover on the 23 , 1. According to the official returns the number of children born in the kingdom of Hanover in 1832 amounted to 48,273, and the num ber of deaths to :39,806. Prussian 4 per cents. were 95,95 2 3; ditto 5 per Cents. (1822) EnglishLo The elections for the Second Chamber of the States have commenced in Wirtemberg. Although the elections terminated arc vet but few, in most cases the former de puties have been re-elected. The Venice Gazette has intelligence from Smyrna, from which it appears that no Egyptian troops had yet entered that city. A report was current of an epidemic disuse being prevalent in the Russian fleet in the Dar danelles. • Extract of a letter, of the 2bth ult., from St. Gall " Serious disturbances have•attended a meeting of the militia of the RheintLal, assembled with a view to elect the Members of the Council of Discipline. A part of the soldiera mutinied, declaring that they would not concur in the election until-they should have been called to vote for tbe acceptance or rejection of the military penal code, the immediate reading of which was called for. 'Aftervain efforts to restore order, the President broke up the meet ing. When the authorities attempted to arrest the muti neers, groups were immediately formed to protect them, and rescue from the gendarmes those who were already invested. The Executive Council, on being apprised of this occurrence, took the most energetic- measures to que'l the rebellion. Four companies of infantry, a com pany of carbineers, half a company of artillery, and a squadron of cavalry, were called out. The com mand of the troops is intrusted to Colonel Kuhn, who is accompanied by Councillor Steinmann, Commissary of the Government. The Grand COun eil is convoked." Another letter, of the 26th, from St. Call, says, " The troops have answered the call of the Government ; they are animated with an excellent spirit. Numerous addresses of the Grand Council express the public indignation against the attempts of a few mutineers. These addresses call for the prompt and strict punish ment of the guilty. Tranquillity prevails in the other parts of the canton. The energetic measures of the Go vernment have met with general approbation. " P.S. The Grand fbuneil h s sanctioned by its vote the measures adopted by the Government." A letter of the 28th ult., from Bayonne, says--.." The Bordeaux banker, M. 'nig°, has just arrived here from Madrid, on his way to Bordeaux, whence lie will probably it said, ehnrc.il by tb. Government with a grand speculation.", PARIS, MAY 3.—On Wednesday evening, at nine o'clock, there was a reception at Court which was very numerously attended. Yesterday the. King transacted business with the Ministers of Justice and of the Interior, and with the President of the Council. The Diplomatic Body having been introduced into the King's presence on Wednesday, to congratulate his Ma jesty upon the occasion of his fete, Count Pozw di Borgia delivered the following' address : " Sire,—The Diplomatic Body has the honour to offer to your Majesty the homage of their respect and congratulations, and to express their wishes, Sire, for your happiness, for that of your august family, 'and for Fiance. Last year, Sire, Europe was afflicted by a•great calamity, and threatened by other evil prog_ nostics. Providence has delivered, her from the ills, which she suffered, and. the wisdom of all the Sovereigns has preserved her ri-pm those which she had to fear. The same causes,'Sii•e, will Fontinue to protect her, by maintaining the - peace she enjoys, it beipg the first duty of the. Governments, as well as the first of bll the nations." _ . ^,The King replied ag follows i— . " I feel very sensibly the- wishes you have expressed to me for France, for my family, and for myself. - I acknowledge with you :he great blessing , of. Providence, who has delivered Europa from the destroying scourge, the ravages of which were so cruel. jdo not appreciate less that of the maintenance of peace which you so justl consider as the first duty of the Go vernments, and the first want of the nations. I fully trust that tie sense of this. duty and this want. seconded by the wisdom of all the Sovereigns, will secure the continuance of it, and permit mankind to enjoy it for many years." The address of the . Chamber of Peers delivered by Baron P as qu,:er, the President, was couched in the following term. Sire,—The Chamber of Peers had not before found itself assembled at the epoch of the solemnity which brings it before you at this moment. May I say of the relations authorized by this solemnity, that they have a character of intimacy which respect forbids not, and which we value the more, as it is not met with in those in which our homage has been offered to you hitherto ? Today a real family fete is celebrated in this Palace. The Chamber of Peers is happy in availing itself of the right which you have granted it to participate in it more especially. Deign, Sire, to ac ept its best wishes; deign to receive them with that kindness, of which you set so precious an example for our Imitation, and which we shall always endeavour to deserve, by our zeal in discharging our duty, and by our devotedness to your Majesty and to France, whose destinies are so closely blended with yours." His Maj sty answered:— ~ I am always happy in receiving the Chamber of Peers, and feel more particularly so on this occasion, when you come to ex. press to me so well the sentiments which you entertain towards me. Be, therefore, my interpreter, and tell the Chamber that I (Junk it for its participation in my fete, and that I always feel pleasure in seeing it near me. It knows ho* highly I appre. slate ita labours, and the great services. it renders to France. C cannot forbear repeating that I regard them as also rendered to myself." Dopin, presit,nt of the Chamber of Deputies, ad. sir.e.,:rd hi- MaFs•ty as follows ' 's Sirs—lt is wit), pleasure we come to fiarticipate in the King's fete. The Chamber of Deputies, of which I have at this moment the happiness of being the organ, forms sincere wishes for your happiness. tt knows that you can tin 4 it only in the public prosperity, and in the protection of the 'national rights and in. terests, with which your destiny, and that of your dynasty, are inseparably connected. We could have wished, Sire, to have been able this day, in order to have given ft an auspicious date, to have brought you the law upon primary' histruction, which must exert so powerful an influence on the future destiny of the French people ; this law, however, will soon be voted. We shall successively attend to the other propositions which require our loyal concurrence for the welfare of the country. Union has never been wanting between the French nation and those of its Kings, who, like your Majesty, have had its glory and interests at heart." The King replied- - " You know that in my heart and in my principles the interest of the country have never been separated from my own. You know that in my mind the interests of the nation have ever been considered as the only true interests of the throne. It is only by their close union that each can support the other, and assume she station they ought both to hold. Such has been my motto through Life-I will remain faithful to it as long as I exist, and I than;: you for having reminded me of it. Your labours always excite, ip me the highest interest. I observe with pleasure that you are ocoupied wit): the subject of public instruction. It is the 54rest meant of bringing the nation to that elevated degree of PP.spe. rity of which it is susceptible, and which it swill occasion lue greatest happiness to see it attain. It is only by the dif. r fusion knowledge that m en can be enlightened to their real 1 4.n n s e i r e zt i s (t . a w n cl 4 pr est , !ye the ' nation from those illusions which may expressed 'ou 4, eCqiicgt .1 .thank you for the sentiments you e occasion of my fete, and for your renewed as surances or a 1 0 -- Y al.

VIENNA, APRIL 27.—(Extract of a letter. )—Accord. ing to official accounts, an obstacle has ari sen t o the formal conclusion of peace between the Porte and Ibrahim Pacha. The latter demands, in addition to all the dis tricts of Syria, to the cession of which the Sultan has already given his assent, the pad - Wick of Mona, in Caran:ania. The Porte refuses to accede to this demand, depending on the support of all the European powers; wherefore a confident hope is still entertained of the speedy termination of a definitive treaty of peace. —Ram • burg CorreTondent, May 3. ST. PETERSBURGII, APRIL 20.—8 y an Order of the Day of the 14'h instant, his ;Majesty has decreed the re organization of several corps of infantry and cavalry, and made a great number of appointments and promotions; among which are that of Field-Marshal Paskewitsch to be Inspector-General of all the infantry, retaining all his present titles and functions; Count Wissiltschuslow, First General of Cavalry, to be Inspector:General of all the cavalry, retaining his present title ; and Rear- Admiral Lazareff, Commander of the Fleet in the Black. Sea, to be Vice-Admiral. BERLIN, APRIL 29.—Lieut.-General Van Knorring, commander of the 2d division of Light Cavalry in the Russian service, has arrived here from Warsaw ; Prince Dalgoruki, aide-de-camp to the Emperor of Russia, from St. Petersburgh ; and F. Von Schwarzenhurg, Major in the Austrian service, from Vienna. The Commercial Gazette of St. Petersburgh contains the following statements of the principal losses of Poland during the nine months' duration of the revolutionary go vernment :—in population above 350,000 souls; with them an annual receipt of one hundred millions of florins, as the produce of their labour, as large a sum in the re ceipt arising from its productions and the state, probably from sixteen to twenty millions of its revenue. One hun dred and fifty millions were squandered out of the public treasury ; the country lost eighty-four millions in the value of its paper currency; in the value of buildings destroyed, one hundred and five millions. A much greater loss, which cannot he calculated, arises from the depreciation of the value of land. la the manufacture of cloth, there is a de ficiency of thirty-four millions as compared with former times ; and at the same time a loss of at least ten millions in the wages, and fourteen millions i❑ the sale of wool. The loss of cattle may be estimated at twenty-five millions, and, at the same time, a loss of two millions in the amount of the wool obtained. Lastly, the annual profits of the bank are reduced two millions. GOTTENBURG, APRIL 26.—The last English mail brought an order from the Phamix Company to its agent here, to pay to the volunteer corps of firemen the sum of 1,000 rix•dollars Banco. This same corps lately received 500 rix-dollars Banco from the Alliance Company in London. In order to avoid the payment of the heavy duty on cotton yarn paid in this city, which arises from the too high value put on that article in the tariff, and i❑ which no change could be obtained on application to Stockholm, persons dealing in it have resorted to the expedient of having it entered at Kongelf, and an English ship is freighted by merchants here to sail from Hull to Kongelf, and thence to this port. It is daily expected with a large quantity. EXCHANGES ON LONDON. 117.1131 , R0, MAY 3.-13 13; two months, 13 11g. BERLIN, Aratt.3o —Three months, 6 277 5 .

The cause is ascribed to a dispute respecting the lady's jewels, &c. Our correspon dent adds, that the gentleman proposed to allow the lady 1,000/. per annum on separaticu, which she indignantly rejected, and demanded 3,000/. • it The Political Unions of the metropolis, is rumoured, intend to hold meetings during the present wet k, upon the subject of the house and window taxes. 'The National Political Union meets tai-day; the National Union of the Working Classes at various times throughout the week ; _ the Cleikenwell on Wednesday ; and the Householders' Union of St. Giles's on Thursday. The 'metropolitan boroughs are also about holding local meet ings upon the same all•engrossing subject. Government has selected the plan of Mr. BULLER (the present architect of the new Palace) to open the new street from Grosvenor. place through Elton-street, across Mr. ELLIOT'S pleasure grounds and the gardens at the Emanuel Hospital, down Chapel-street, crossing the Broadway and the Almonry, and to come out opposite the we.t end of the Abbey. There is to be a blanch street to lead into College -street and Abingdon-street. The houses in the way of this alteration are principally inha bited by poor people, and many of them stand on Co .\ n property on short leases, WESTMINSTER ELECTION. A meeting of the committee for conducting the election of Sir John Hobhouse was held on Saturday evening at Richardson's Hotel, Govent-garden. About thirty of the electors were present. Mr. DE VEAR was called to the Chair. The minutes of the meeting at the Crown and Anchor Tavern having been real, Mr. BROWN rose and asked the Chairman if Sir J. Hobhouse had agreed to allow himself to be put in nomi nation ? The CHAIRMAN had seen Sir John Hobhouse previous to the meeting at the Crown and Anchor Tavern,-and John had expressly said that, although he would take no part in the election, he should certainly accept the seat if they did him the honour to elect him. Mr. BROWN hoped that Sir John won'd come among the electors to explain some parts of his late political conduct. He could assure the meeting that when can. vassing for Sir John he had found it very difficult to ex plain that conduct to the electors; and that many of the electors were firm in the belief that the whole of the late transaction, namely, Sir John's resignation of office and of his seat fir Westminster, was a mere trick—(Hear, hear)—a mere plan devised to deceive them. The electors said that his resignation of the office of Secretary for Ire land had only nominally taken place, and that it was kept open for him to step into again, as soon as his seat in Westminster was secured. He (Mr. Brown) would say that the electors were in some measure borne out in that opinion by the fact, if fact it were, that the office was still open, and that his resignation had not been accepted by his Majesty. The electors also asked why he had re signed his seat after resigning his situation. There could have been no occasion for the resignation of both. If it was the Honourable Baronet's intention not to give his support to the Government, but to serve his constituents, it would he Sufficient that he should resign office, but there was no occasion that he should resign his seat. He (Mr. Brown) acknowledged that these were questions of which he could give no satisfactory explanation ; and as he understood that other gentlemen had found the same difficulty he thought it the duty, as well as the interest, of Sir J. Hobhouse to come among the electors, and to give them the desired explanations. Mr. TEJOU defended the conduct of Sir John Hobhouse. Mr. DE YEAR then read a letter from the Marquis of Anglesea to Sir John Hobhouse. It merely stated, how. ever, that he had received his (Sir John's) letter an nouncing his resignation, and that he felt great regret that Ire sheuld no long-r have the advantage of his services as Secretary for Ireland. Mr. WYLDE complained of the milliner in which the minutes of the meeting at the Crown and Anchor Tavern had been made up. It did not appear from them that any notice had been given by Sir John Hobhouse whether he should take his seat or not, if elected. He had been asked what pledges the electors had that Sir John would vote for the repeal of the house and window tax; and how were they to know that he would not immediately return to office if returned triumphantly to Parliament by the electors of Westminster ? He (Mr. Wylde) thought it quite necessary that lie (Sir John) should make a de claration of his intentions upon those points. The elec tors were entitled to such an explanation ; it was their right, and a right acknowledged by Sir John Hobhouse himself on a former occasion. He (Mr. Wylde) and all present were most anxious for Sir John's success, and would do all they could to promote it.—(Hear, hear.) Rut he had, for his own part (and he bad heard the same from other gentlemen), found a great, nay, unconquerable difficulty in giving the electors a satisfactory explanation. Mr. DE YEAR thought that it Was perfectly understood that Sir John Hobhouse would accept of the seat if elected. He (Mr. D., Year) had called on Sir John (as he hail for merly stated), and told him that some of the electors were doubtful upon that point. Sir John's reply was that he would not come forward as a candidate; but if elected he certainly would accept of the seat. Mr. FEARON agreed with the members who had already spoken that they were in a very difficult situation. It was most desirable that it should he cleared up, and he would suggest that a public meeting of the electors should be called on Monday, at which Sir John Hobhouse should be requested to attend. Several gentlemen then stated that they had canvassed a large part of Westminster, and that they found great dif• ficulty in obtaining the suppot t of the electors, on account of the obscurity in which Sir John Hothouse's conduct was involved. One elector said that he had canvassed the greater part of the parish of St. George, Westminster, for Sir John Hobhouse, and such was the prejudice against him, on account of his conduct with regard to the repeal of the house and window duties, that he was able to secure only one vote from among a hundred voters which he had canvassed. He (the elector) was a stanch John ; but he could tell the meeting that if something were Anne immediately, Colonel Evans would be returned triumphantly.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. BROWN defended the vote given by Sir J. Hob house. He did not blame the Hun. Baronet; he thought that he was the victim of the Administration.—(Hear.) The Government had put Sir John on the horns of a dilemma. They had forced him either to oppose the Go vernment of which he was member, to vote contrary to the interests of his constituents, or to resign. He had been put in that dilemma by Lord Althorp, and he (Mr. B.) would say, that it was most unwarrantable in Lord Althorp to do so.—(Hear, hear ) Mr. ABBOTT was of opinion that they ought not to have a representative in Westminster who was a Member of the Government. They ought to have one who could preside at their public meetings, and attend to the other business of the city. An ELECTOR thought it necessary that they should have some information. If none were given he had no doubt that the result of the election would be unfavourable to their wishes. Being one of the deputation which waited upon Sir John Hobhouse previous to the debate on Sir Key's :notion, he could unequivocally state that at h.lf past ten on Monday night Sir John Hobhouse promised him and the other members of the deputation that he should vote for Sir John Key's motion ; yet Sir John resigned the following morning_ His (the elector's opinion), however, was, that Sir John had not at that time sufficiently considered the effect of the junction of the two questions of the malt and the house and window duties—(Hear)—and that as soon as he had seen the dilemma in which he was placed, he had resolved on resigning both his place and seat. He (the elector) thought he could not have taken a more decisive or honourable part. Was his conduct not better, although he had much more at stake, than that of Dr. Lushington, Mr. W. Brougham, or, he would add, Sir Francis Bur dett?—(Hear, hear)—for he did not wish to screen Sir Francis when in the wrong, as he certainly was on that question. At the.same time, however, that he considered Sir John Hobbouse's conduct quite right, he thought that the electors were entitled to the information. Mr. DE YEAR said, that at the time of the interview of the deputation with Sir J. Hobhouse he had resolved to give tip his office, but not his seat. A long and desultory conversation then took place, at the conclusion of which the question was put and carried by a large majority—" That Sir John Can Hobbouse be r. quested to stand as candidate for the representation of Westminster; and that he be further requested to come among the electors, in order, by his personal presence, to aid the erectors in procuring his return." The requisition was then signed by all the electors pre sent, and a deputation was appointed to wait upon Sir John Hobbouae and present it. Some other business was then disposed of, after which the meeting dispersed. Mrs. DlcxoNs, the celebrated vocalist, died on SJturday morning at her house in Regent street. She made her first appearance at Covent-garden in 1793, as Ophtlia, and retired from the stage in 1818. There is an excellent portrait of her in Matthews's Theatrical Gallery. INVERNESS BURGH ELECTION.---No fewer than four candidates have already taken the field for the representation of this district, namely—Major Cummitia BRUCE, Mr. STEWART, Mr. BAILLIE (nephew of the Member for Bristol), and Mr. CHISHOLM, of Chisholm. The two former were candidates at the last election, when Mr. STEWART was beaten by a majority of only seven votes. FATAL ACCIDENT.—An accident of the most distressing nature took place at the farm-house of car A th n e n s a e n r , vi o c n e N o Y f e A d i t r ie . ANDREW s A tia N y D CORRIE, the , the 24th ult. A servant e girl, e in farmer there, while in the act of putting on a por, had her clothes set on fire. No person was in the house at the time but herself. and not having th e power, or the presence of mini, to extinguish the flames, before she could run out and give the alarm, she was so dreadfully burnt that she died next morning. ROYAL ACADEMY REFORM.—The jealous, exclusive, and encroaching spirit which has been so often imputed to the proceedings of the Royal Academy has never been exposed with is so much e ff ect i n a smal l com pass as found in a certain article in this month's number of the New Monthly Magazine. Whoever the writer I nay be, he has made out, both on fact and princip e, such a case of abuse on the part of thes:; snug representatives of Art, as will be admitted to call f or re f ormat i on, i n i ts pe culiar way, as imperatively as did t h e l ate corrupt system of Parliamentary elections, LINCOLN CITY MEETING. R O USE AND WINDOW TAXES. GENERAL TAXATION. A meeting of the citizens of Lincoln took place on Saturday in the Guildhall, pursuant to a requisition signed by 98 of the most respectable citizens. The MAYOR in the Chair. Mr. E. B. MINT . after an eloquent speech moved-- " That no system of taxation should exist which is calm ated to oppress trade and industry, or prevent the progress of national wealth, or produce evils to society beyond the subtrac tion of the pecuniary amount of the tax." Dr. BOOT in an impressive address seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. G. HEBB, Esq., solicitor, moved the second resolution— " That the assessed taxes originally enacted as war imposts, under the pledge of being discontinued on the return of peace, are now pressing upon the trading classes with almost intole rable severity ; by reason of the altered value of money, and the diminution of profits." This was seconded by Mr. W. BEDFORD YEATS, who ably explained the manner in which law makers during the last half century, had contrived to evade the burdens they skilfully imposed upon others. The third resolution, moved by Mr. Alderman WRIGLES WORTH, and seconded by Mr. Br.rtrn : " That instances having been lately enumerated of many sumptuous mansions which are valued much lower in propor tion to other property, and consequently producing an incon siderable portion of the revenue, compared with their value, it is the opinion of this meeting that such instances are a dis graceful violation of the compact of equal taxation, and a fraud upon the working classes, who are compelled to contribute by far the greater part of the revenue, in the shape of indirect taxation upon the necessaries of life." The fourth resolution, proposed by R. S. HARVEY, Esq., surgeon, and seconded by Mr. ODLING, mercer : " That it is expedient the assessed taxes, and especially the house and window duties, should be repealed, or subject to such revision as shall exempt houses occupied in trade, and by the working classes, upon the principle that has already induced the Legislature to free houses, and buildings connected with agriculture." A petition, founded on the foregoing resolutions, was introduced by Mr. Northouse, which led to a full discus. sion of the present state of public policy; and a bona fide property tax was allowed by all the speakers (most of whom were considerable owners themselves) to be the true remedy for the evils under which the country is suffering; such tax to be accompanied by a repeal of all the absurd, circuitous modes of arriving at the surplus means of the people. The petition embraces the great topics discussed, and was adopted by a large majority. Thanks were then voted to the Mayor, for his kindness in presiding at the meeting. TIIE PETITION. Air. NeRTHOUSE moved, after a very long speech, which was much cheered, the following petition, which Mr. W. BEnvortn. sen., seconded TO THE HONOURABLE THE COMMONS, IN PAR. LI A MENT ASSEMBLED. " THE HUMBLE PETITION OF THE UNDER SIGNED MAGISTRATES, MERCHANTS, TRA DERS, AND INHABITANTS, OF THE CITY AND SUBURBS OF LINCOLN, ‘. HUMBLY SHOWETIT, " That your petitioners hailed the passing of the Reform Bill with joy and exultation, as a restitution of usurped rights, a security for honest legislation, and a harbinger of sound, wise, and equitable Government. " That your petitioners expected, as one of the first results of the passing of that Bill, a thorough and searching inquiry into the present state of the country, as affected by taxation—a re lief from such burdens as prevented or impeded _prosperity— and a substitution of others, not calculated to have the same effect. "'That your petitioners received, with great gratification, the result of the division on the malt tax, and looked forward with hope to the success of the motion of Sir John Key, for the re peal of the house and window taxes. " That your petitioners have been disappointed in these, their reasonable expectations, but they are not unaware of the adverse influences, not arising from your Honourable House, to which disappointments may be attributed. "That your petitioners should consider it as the greatest evil that could befall the country (save that of remaining in its pre sent state of distress and decay), were the Government to fall into the hands of those factious and selfish men who resisted the Reform Bill, and strove to prevent the people having a real re presentation in your Honourable House. " That with no such wish or desire, your petitioners lay before your Honourable House the following views upon taxation, and press upon your Honourable House the absolute necessity of taking them into speedy consideration : "First —lt appears to your petitioners that all taxes necessary for the government of a State, and the payment of its debts, should be so raised and apportioned as to produce no other evil than that of abstracting the pecuniary amount from the pockets of the people. " Second.--That whatever tends to increase the wealth of a nation by increasing or improving its products should not be de stroyed or reduced by taxation. "Third.—That "the malt tax, besides the abstraction of its amount, injures the labourer by disabling him from brewing his own beer, the grower by preventing the sale of his barley, and the community at large by its vexatious regulations, doubling or greatly enhancing the price of the beer they purchase. Fourth.—That the soap tax, besides the amount it abstracts, prevents or impedes cleanliness—the newspaper tax, knowledge —the insurance tax, prudence—the house and wincloy tax, t' tit air health, and industry. I nut— a 1,0. t. ...... ...Iv •"nrrlllnn sible fr.ms the gross and unjust inequality of its apportionments —from the vexatious surcharges, journey s , and loss of time it occasions—but most of all from its impeding the progress of trade, and thereby obstructing the national prosperity. " Sixth.—That the Legislature has recognised the last-men tioned principle, by freeing from the operation of the house tax all farm-houses, such houses being no more necessary for the progress of agricultural production, than shops with houses at. tached are necessary for the progress of commercial production. Seventh.—That those of his Majesty's subjects who are en. gaged in trade or agriculture, and who are thereby increasing or improving products, are the creators of the national wealth, and should not be discouraged or impeded by taxation or otherwise, but when they cease to create or improve products; that then they with others who possess property without creating or im proving the national wealth by their exertions, become debtors to the State for the protection of their property, and are the only fit subjects for direct taxation. " These premises your petitioners humbly lay before your Honours ;le House, with the additional tact that, owing to the faulty nature of the existing taxation, and the return to c as h payments, the remission of taxes since the year 1830, and which amounts (deducting increased duties) to about 4,400,1j001. per annum, has not had the beneficial effect which such remissions usually have, the difference in the revenue of last year, as com pared with 18W, being above 4,400,0001., besides the reduced ex. pease of collection being about half a million more—thus de monstrating that the means of paying taxes are more rapidly diminishing than the taxes themselves, with all the savings in the expense of collecting the most rigid economy can enforce. " Your petitioners therefore pray your Hon. House to take these appalling facts into consideration—to revise the whole sys tem of taxation—to free the shops and houses of traders from the payment of the house and window duties—to reimpose the same amount, or what maybe necessary, upon realized property, and to render such further relief as to your Hon. House shall seem wise, just, and expedient. " And your petitioners will ever pray," Ac. A fresh cause for dull trade is assigned in the letter of one of our Huddersfield correspondents, who says, " Trade would be good if it was not for the influenza—as it is, all is paralysed." TIIE EARL OF RIPON.—When the father of Lotds RIPON and GRANTHAM was elevated to the Peerage, GEORGE 111., made some difficulty as to the extent of his property, which was, in his Majesty'. opi nion, too small for the maintenance of his Lordship's rank. The present Lord GRANTHAM, however, is alreAdy a wealthy Peer, and he will ultimately be among the very wealthiest of his order. He is heir apparent to the title and estates of the venerable Countess de GREY, now in her 83d year, and also to the bulk of the vast possessions of Mrs. LAWRENCE, of Studley Park, in Yorkshire. Lord GRANTHAM has two daughters, his only son having died two years ago, so that the infant son of his brother, the Earl of IttroN, now in his sixth year, may be regarded as heir presumptive to three peerages and four large for tunes. The Countess of Rtrox succeeded. on the death of her father, the late Earl Of BUCKINGHAMSHIRE, to all the unentailed estates of the Hosktyr family, including their splendid seat of Norton Hall, in Lincolrishii-e. It is understood that the Noble Lord Privy Seal selected the title of Ripon because he had represented that borough in several Parliaments, when the Members were returned under the patronage of Mrs. LAWRENCE. ARRIVAL OF THE PRINCE ROYAL OF FRANCE.—His Royal Highness the Duke. of ORLEANS and suite arrived at Grillion's Hotel, in Albemarle -street, in two travelling carriages and four, on Saturday evening, at eleven o'clock, from Paris, via Dover. The Duke was accompanied by Generals BAUDRAND and MARBOT, and by several young French officers of his staff. M. de BoIsMILON, Secretory to the Duke, was in attendance to receive his Royal Highness. Several servants, in the li very of the reigning Royal Family of France, were also in waiting to attend on the young Prince, who travelled with all possible expedition, having embarked at Calais at an early hour that morning, for Dover. Within twenty minutes of his Royal Highness's arrival at GRILLON'S, Prince TA I.LETRAND drove to the hotel, and warmly greeted him on his arrival in England. His Excellency exhibited much anxiety to have an interview with the Duke, and came to the hotel ut nine o'clock, in the ex pectation that his Royal Highness had then reached town. We understand that the use of the Royal carriages, and the selection of horses from the KING'S stud, have been offered to the Duke during his sojourn in the metropolis. Colonel TAYLOR, one of the Grooms in Waiting to the KING, has been directed to attend on his Royal Highness. The young Duke de NEMOURS has not accompanied his brother on this occasion, and we understand that it is uncertain whether he will visit England this summer. The Duke of ORLEANS deferred his departure until after the expiration of the festivals given in Pais in honour of the natal day of the King of the FRENCH, whose fete was celebrated in the usual manner on Wednesday last. The Duke's visit is understood to be merely an excursion of pleasure, and totally unconnected with political conside rations. The Duke de VALENCAY and the Duke de Mormsroartarcr, personal friends of the Duke of ORLEANS, have also arrived in town from Paris. ROYAL ACADEMY. The private view of the exhibition of the year took place on Friday, and on the following day (Saturday) the annual dinner, which, from what we hear of the effects of mismanagement in the returns to the treasury, must have been very consoling to, as the fable has it, " the belly and the members." An annual dinner, however, is not much to our taste; it reminds us of Cumberland's Jew, where, to Jabal's inquiry, " What's for dinner ?" his fellow servant says, " There's our egg ;" upon which Jabal exclaims, with a fearful inquisitiveness," Our egg!" There is no falling off of numbers-1226 is a tolerable dose, when we consider the ingredients of the mixture ; but there is very little progress perceptible in any of the departments of art, by a comparison with former years. History is arrived at its lowest stage of discouragement.— the R A. itself cin go no further ; the figure branch is unequal, generally speaking ; and the Landscape certainly not superior; while Portrait Painting is at zero in all, except what is accepted so perniciously as the perfection of the art, but which is, in truth, the easiest, most puerile, and mechanical part of it—a likeness of the features or face ; mind, expression, grace, and invention being absent. The palmy days of portraiture are not, it would seem, for us. From the Venetian, through Sir Joshua, down to Sir Thomas, the world have had some thing more or less to he proud of—but what we seek in vain to find in the smooth, and clean, and feeble Presi dent, or in the purely mechanical labours of Pickrrsgill, however praiseworthy as far as they go. But although no strides have been made—at least none forward—many have maintained their former reputation, and the whole thing is, in an idle hour, worth " a shilling." We cannot say with old Christopher North, that " now we have not six printers to whose productions a sane man would give house room ;" for we are inclined to extend the number a little, and, with all the fear of his crutch for our bad taste, to double that number in these rooms, though they are by no means all of the Royal Academy. WILKIE'S Spanish Monks, No. 134, is excellent ; but a portrait, ns in No. 140, William IV., sinks bis fame. 50. Tristram Shandy, by LESLIE, is a rare morceau. LANDSEER., in No. 316, Hunters, and 351, Sir TV. Scott, has taken a flight that leaves his flock of Birds at the British in the lower regions of the sky. CALcoTr is always chaste and beautiful. He has half a dozen pieces. SIIIPSON, though a moderate painter, and one who, by attempting to finish Lawrence's pictures, leaves them utterly undone, has, in 317, Portrait of his Majesty, the best head and likeness of the King in the Gallery. MIL NER has made no improvement by a better acquaintance with nature and common sense-109. Bridge of Sighs, and 125. Van Goyen looking out for a Subject ; but there is in him always something to admire. Gold, in corruptible in itself, has corrupted him. His chef d'auvres are or other days. In 247, Venice from the Dogana, STANFIELD appears to have gained great 'vantage ground in easel-painting. WEBSTER, in 454, A Village School, has a piece of rich humour, admirably composed and exe cuted ; and STANLEY, in 9, The Old Bridge at Scariffe, Ireland, has a landscape sweetly treated in all that respects tint!' and nature. Newton, Briggs, Clint, Etty, Hart, Drummond, Linnell, Cooper, Arnald, and Eastlake have pieces of various merit, and there are many without any merit at all. CHANTREY has sent only two works--they are fine; and a marble bust of Mrs. Evelyn, 1173, by MoottE, is perfectly beautiful. This bust, however, and 1182, Caius Marius, by BAILEY, require and deserve a more extended notice; but as we are in danger of exceeding our bounds, we must now go on no further with our notes, that we may have room for a few lines on art of a higher quality in painting than anything we see here. We wish, in speaking of private days and the fine arts par excellence, to notice to morrow, the 6th, when there will be a privue view at Christie's of such a collection of pictures as have not come to the hammer at any one time in our memory. It consists of 131 pictures of the best schools—ltalian, Spanish, Dutch, &c., collected by Mons. Nieuwenhuys with a good fortune equal to the excellence of the judgment exercised. The town generally have rarely, perhaps never, had such a treat offered to them; and the members of our English school will do well to bring their earthen cups to this " golden stream " Of magic music, and poetic dream." This is no imaginary standard ; for the critic, in speaking thus, " considers the rank which they ought to hold imong other works of the same kind.".—Motto to the Catalogue of 1833. Although we protest against their constant vice of copying each other—and, perhaps worse, themselves— we shall here have no objection to a little " picking and stealing;" for, as with parsons, so with painters, their best sermons and their best pictures are commonly those they have hal a hand in copying, hut none in composing. The larlieg of Doncaster have determined to petition both Houses of Parliament for the abolition of slavery. An account is preparing at the Treasury, under the superintendence of Mr. SPRING Ries, and pursuant to Parliamentary order, of the gross and net amount of all taxes repealed, expired, or reduced in each year since the termination of the war; and also of all taxes imposed in the same period ; showing the several articles on which the alteration of duty were made, toge ther with an estimate of the amount of reduction or in. crease of duty upon each. W e regret to announce the serious indisposi tion of Lord KING. IFS Lordship rem ,ins at his resi dence in Dover -street, with, as we are informed, extremely faint hopes of convalescence. The Noble Baron has been ailing during the last month, but witt in the last two or three (Lys his disorder has taken h n unfavourable turn: The Hon. War. KING, eldest son of his Lordship, is at present Fl t , acb u d to the suite of Lord NUGE NT , G overnor . _ . _ _ of the lonian Islands, as Civil Secretary. The answer to inquiries yesterday morning was, that his Lordship was somewhat better than on the day preceding. SEDUCTION AND SUICIDE.—Oft Saturday an inquest was held at the King's Arms, Orchard-street, Westminster, on the body of Many Asttscax, aged 24. The young woman had for some mouths past been co habiting with a young man in the service of Mr. THORN, the brewer, of No. 2, Park•street, Westminster. On Thursday evening they had a quarrel, and her paramour said he should leave her, which he did. On the following day she went to one of the lodgers in a dejected state, and asked for the loan of a shawl, as she wanted to go out. This request was refused ; upon which she remarked that it was the last time she should want such a favour. She then retired to her apartment, and in the evening was dis covered hanging by the neck from a hook in the ceiling...— Verdict, " Temporary insanity." ILFORD PETTY SESSIONS. CURIOUS AFFILIATION CASE.—CAROLINE CHILDS, a good looking young woman, was brought up by the parish officers of Waltbamstow, to affiliate an illegitimate child, of which she swore that WILLIAM JENKINS, late master of the In fant School at Waltbamstow, was the father. The cir cumstances of the case were extraordinary. JENKINS, who was in Court, and appeared respectable, is upwards of sixty years of age, has had three wives, and is the father of 19 children. He had brought up CAROLINE CHILDS as if she were his own child, and some time ago obtained her a situation in an Infant School Institution in Bucking. hamshire. During the vacation he went down to see her, and then, as she alleges, the intimacy took place, though she declared that he had always before behaved like a father. She bad a sweetheart at the time, and there were several circumstances in the case that rendered her story improbable. Being in a weak state of health, the Magis trates adjourned the examination for a month. MURDER AT CHELSEA.—On Saturday evening the inhabitants of Chelsea were thrown into a state of consternation, by the discovery of a shocking murder, committed on a Mrs. ELMS, about 70 years of age, who resided at 17, Wellesley-street, near the new Church. Mrs. ELMS occupied a house in Wellesley-street, and had a female lodger, who had been absent for some days. The last time the old lady was seen alive was on Thursday night, about ten o'clock, when she went to the Wellesley Arms for beer for her supper. On Friday and Saturday, her house not being opened, suspicion was ex cited, and HUGHES, the constable of Chelsea, with his as sistants, obtained an entrance_ through a back window, whets they were horrorstruck at discovering the poor old lady with her throat cut, and her head dreaditilly mangled. At present no clue exists to the discovery of the murderers. The deceased appeared to be in respectable circumstances. On Thursday last the new suspension -bridge at Shoreham was opened in the presence of a grand pro cession, at the head of which were the Duke of NORFOLK, the Earl and Countess of SURREY, the Duke and Duchess of ST. ALBANS, Sir C. F. GOSLING, Sir J. W. LLOYD, Barts., &c. An elegant dejeund was provided on the causeway leading to the bridge, at two o'clock, which was partaken of by a great number of the Nobility and Gentry present. At the breakfast several addresses were delivered to the company by the Duke of NORFOLK, and appropriate toasts proposed. At the opening, the keys of the old bridge were delivered to his Grace, after it hao been locked up by the High Constable of Shoreham. The distance saved between those two fashionable and po pulous towns, Worthing and Brighton, is two miles. The bridge certainly stands unrivalled by any other work of the sort, for magnificence and utility, and is, we are informed, the design of Mr. W. TIERNEY CLARK, the architect of Hammersmith and Marlow bridges, COLDNESS OF POLITICAL ECONOII'. o on the Se %g °' It was only a year ago, that the House heard th,t:bo of the people of Ireland were obliged to g pick up the sea-weed for food.
