The case is that of the parish of Choles bury, in Buckinghamshire, and this is the evidence given by its rector, the Rev. H. P. JESTON " 111 y connexion with the parish commenced only in November, 1830, previously to which I had no personal knowledge of it, nor any acquaintance with its neigh bourhood. I can find no other documents, connected with the parish, than the accounts of the different overseers from 1820 to the present time. These accounts, down to 1829, are most confused ; pirtly from the illiterate character of the parish officers, and in other part from the very advanced t , ge and infirmities of my predecessor having prevented him from interfering with the parish concerns. " The amount, as specified in the parish books, appa rently disbursed from IS2O to 1829, appears to be greater than is shown by the Parliamentary returns, of which you send me extracts ; though possibly this may arise from items being brought into the accounts of each year, be long-ng to the previous year. It is probable the sums stated in the Parliamentary returns are correct, for they were given in by persons who must have hest understood the accounts. . " I am informed, by the very oldest of my parishioners, that sixty years ago there was but one person who re ceived parish relief; but it should seem that the parish, for many years past, has been a❑ overburdened one ; though within the last year the burdens have been much increased by the land going out of cultivation, and the whole population of the parish being thrown upon the rates. In fact, for some years, I understand the land was let only by means of proprietors consenting to become guarantee to the tenant against more than a certain amount of parochial burdens, all above that amount to be consi dered in lieu of rent. At the present moment some of the proprietors, in answer to communications from me upon parish affairs, have confessed an intention to abandon altogether their property in the parish, rather than give themselves further trouble about it, from their actually leaving lost money by it, the rates having more than swallowed up the rents." We will pause here an instant to call at tention to the fearful consequences wrapped up in the last sentence. It is clear that the spread of this despairing spirit, if not checked by the Legislature, must eventually pauperise the whole country. Mr. JESTON proceeds:— " About October last, the parish officers not being able to collect any more funds, threw up their books, arid from that time their duties have Men upon myself ; fur the poor, left without any means of mliutenance, assembled in a body at my door, whilst I was in bed, and applied td me for advice and food. " My income being under 1401. a year, rendered my means of relief small ; but my duty was to keep them from starving, and I accordingly commenced supporting them by dai'y allowances of bread, potatoes, and soup. In the mean time I made several, as many as eight or ten, juurneys to the magistrates at petty and special sessions, in company with the parish officers, and after a delay of three weeks, succeeded in obtaining a "rate in aid," for 50/., on Drayton, an adjoining parish. These journeys, eight, ten, and fourteen miles each, the parish officers were compelled to go on foot, and I must have done the same but for the loan of a friend's horse. " Before the 501. was obtained, the great distress of the parish and my exertions in its behalf becoming known, donations to the amount of 641. were sent me unsolicite:i, from the neighbouring families, for the use of the poor, anti to indemnify myself from the expenses I had been at ; among the latter was one of 20/. from the Countess of Bridgewater. " The present state of the parish is this:—The land almost wholly abandoned (sixteen acres only, including cottage-gardens, being now in cultivation) ; the poor thrown only upon the rates, and set to work upon the roads and gravel pits, and paid for this unprofitable labour at the expense of another parish ! I have given up a small portion of my glebe (the rest is abandoned on ac count of the rates assessed on it) to the parish officers, rent free, for the use of the poor, on condition that spade husbandry only be made use of, and the work done by married men with large families ; but the employment this can afford must be of short continuance. The 501. will be expended in less than two weeks ; and I have ap prized the magistrates of the hundred that I shall be corn• Felled to apply, on Monday, the 14th instant, at the petty sessions, for another "rate in aid." A " rate in aid" our readers, doubtless, know to be a rate levied upon neighbouring parishes, for the benefit of the poor of a parish who have absorbed the whole rental of that in which they themselves live. It is plain that a system of this kind has a natural tendency to spread, for the causes which establish it afterwards operate with increasing force. The following statement will illustrate this fact : " Mr. Jeston added the following statement of the situ ation of all tho inhabitants of the parish, and of the ex pense at which those who have a claim on Cholesbury are maintained. By which it will appear that, though the population has but slightly increased since 1801 (having been then 122 and now only 139), and though of those 139 only 101 have a claim o❑ Cholesbury, yet the poor rates have in that time risen from less than 371. a year to 3671. It is obvious, indeed, that the instant the poor. rate exceeds the net surplus produce,—that is to say, ex ceeds that surplus which, if there were no poor-rate, would he paid in rent,—the existing cultivation becomes not only unprofitable, but a source of absolute loss. And that, as every diminution of cultivation has a double effect in increasing the rate on the remaining cultivation,--the number of unemployed labourers being increased at the same instant th t the fund for payment of rates is dimi nished,—the abandonment of property, when it has once begun, is likely to proceed in a constantly accelerated ratio. Accordingiy, it appears from Mr. Jeston's statement, that scarcely a year elapsed between the first land going out of cultivation and the abandonment of all except six teen acres." It is equally obvious that the abandonment of property having taken place in one parish, the tendency to abandonment in other parishes, al ways existing, is increased to an almost incalcu lable extent. This being the case, we are every day more rapidly approaching the term of our social union, and the commencement of a war between the provident, moral, industrious part of the nation, and the reckless, vicious portion of it. This portion it has been the effect of our laws to multiply; till at last, in many parts of the country, the pauper population have the complete com mand of the whole produce of the land, and pro perty is held upon a tenure as frail as in the worst districts of Ireland. The manner in which the present system of poor laws, if unchecked, or rather if not totally altered, must inevitably bring us to the miserable condition we have mentioned, we will, with the assistance of the invaluable documents before us, endeavour, in the course of these Easter holydays, to de monstrate even to those who have the least directed their attention to subjects of this nature. At present our object has chiefly been to rouse our readers, particularly that portion of them living entirely in towns, from the state of apathy in which we fear they are plunged from not being fully acquainted with their danger, or, being fully acquainted with it, have suffered their un derstandings to sink under the contemplation of its magnitude, and have given up in despair th e hope of averting it. We stated on Thursday that the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER - Was not favourable to a reduction of the assessed taxes during the present year, but wished to apply the amount of relief, which he is in a condition to offer, to a reduction of' some of' the duties on articles of consumption, which are most strongly felt by the poor. The feeling which prompts this wish is highly creditable to Lord ALTHORP, and it is much to be regretted that he is not able to gra tify it without refusing to accede to the very general demand that has been made for reduction of another kind. The CHANCELLOR grounds his objection to a reduction of the assessed taxes on information which has reached him, and which he believes to have been founded on reason and truth, but which we consider tole exceedingly falla cious. The collection of King's taxes has, it seems, been more considerable than was ex pected ; and it is particularly mentioned, that in the parish of Marylebone, the default, in a collection amounting to about 150,0001., does not exceed 12,000/., from which the CHAN. CELLOR infers that the middle classes are not so badly off as they are said to be. The credu lity of official men, with respect to informa tion of a nature which they are anxious to re ceive, has long been notorious. Lord A LTIIOR P does not appear to be a whit less credulous than his predecessors in office had been. If he had given the matter a moment's consideration, he would have recollected that, for some time past, the collectors of the assessed taxes have been more than usually rigorous in enforcing early payment, and that many of th e i n _ habitants who were unable to pay without great inconvenience, have borrowed money or sold goods at a loss, in order to make up the necessary amount. To infer, therefore, that the middle classes are prosperous because the tax collector obtains his due, evinces great credulity and great neglect of those means of obtaining information which are within every Minister's reach. If Lord ALTHORP had made inquiries among the persons who have paid their taxes, he would have heard of circumstances which would have convinced him that he ought not to judge of the condition of the middle classes by the amount which comes into the collector's grasp. Perhaps at no time during either peace or war have the middle classes had more - difficulty to maintain their rank in society than they have now • From what has transpired in those circles which are supposed to be honoured with the confidence or to know the opinions of Ministers, there is little reason to expect that the amount of remission of taxes will go beyond one million sterling ; and if any portion of this sum, worthy of notice, is to be applied to the reduction of the assessed taxes, all idea of repealing the taxes on knowledge—those taxes against which Mi nisters declaimed so loudly when out of office— must be at an end. We are sorry to find that Lord ALTHORP, after the declarations which he has made on this subject, should refuse to repeal this obnoxious impost. Great Britain, the seat of learning and liberty, is the only country in which more than a nominal tax is imposed on newspapers. Great Britain, the most commercial country in the world, is the only country in which a tax is imposed on those means of publicity, without which commerce cannot be carried on. Why do not Ministers make up their minds boldly to a remission of two millions instead of one, which is said to be the extent to which they are likely to go ? They would thus be enabled to take off the whole of the window tax, to reduce the duty on soap and other articles consumed by the poor, and to re duce, if not repeal, the taxes on knowledge, and the duty on advertisements. Lord AL THORP will ask how he dare speculate on so large a remission of taxation. The answer is clear. The abolition of the window tax would of course be a loss to the revenue, but this might not be the case with reduction of duties, whether as regards articles of con sumption or newspapers, for in either case there would be an increaseds , demand fully equal to the amount taken off, and with advertisements a considerable gain besides. With respect to the house duty, all that is necessary is to modify it, to relieve the middle classes, and make the rich pay according to their means. There is nothing in all this to astound a man of ordinary powers of mind. Should the trial even fail, as regards the amount to be derived from increased consump tion, Ministers have another resource. They boast of having economised to the extent of two millions and a half during the last year. Let them retrench a million more. We have in another column inserted a long letter from a Canadian, on the subject of the much-talked of Rideau Canal. This work has not been popular in England, and its manager, if we may so call Colonel By, has, in consequence, come in for a share of the odium attached to it ; or rather, imputations against him have been listened to more readily than they otherwise would have been. We be lieve the graver part of these imputations are now known at head-quarters to have originated in malice, and certainly it would be unjust to that able officer not to give all the - credit due to him for the completion of a work which was acknowledgedly surrounded by innumerable dif ficulties, which nothing but the most undaunted perseverance could overcome. The Tories are in ecstacy with the expec tation of defeating Ministers on Mr. M. ATT-. WOOD'S motion respecting the Currency, which stands for the 19th inst. They expect to be supported by a great number of the Radical party. Ministers, however, appear to be equally confident of success. We understand that the agents of Den IVIIGuEL in this country have succeeded in ob taining rather more than 100,0001. for him, by way of loan. One of the securities offered for the repayment is said io be the Military Subsidy Duty, the existence of which must, we imagine, be nominal, as, by the treaty of 1810, that duty was abolished, and a duty of 15 per cent. on British and Brazilian goods imposed instead. No part of this duty goes to the purpose for which it wa:i originally designed ; and this duty ofls per cent. the Brazilians refuse to pay. New York papers to the 9th March, and Philadelphia papers to the 6th March inclusive, have reached us, but they contain little political matter of interest. Mr. CLAY'S Land Bill has passed the House of Representatives, but the President had refused to give his assent to it. General JACKSON had addressed the House of Rpresentatives on the occasion of his re-election to the Presidency. After some general observations, he said, in reference to the pending dispute with South Carolina— 44 Without union our independence and liberty would never have been achieved—without union they can never he maintained. Divided in 24, or even a smaller number of separate communities, we shall see our internal trade burdened with numberless restraints and exactions ; communications between distant points and sections obstructed or cut of; our sons made soldiers to deluge with blood the fields they now till in peace ; the mass o 4 our people borne down and impoverished by taxes to sup- P • port armies and navies, and military lead e rs, at th e h e ad of their victorious legions, becoming our lawgivers and judges. The loss of liberty, of all good government, of peace, plenty, and happines, must inevitably follow a di , - soltvion of the Union. In supporting it, therefore, we sup port all that is dear to the freeman and the philanthropist.. , The tariff' table which we have taken from one of these papers, and inserted in another column, will be interesting to our commercial readers. By the Journal de St. Petersburgh, we are told that the Turkish capital still continues to enjoy the most perfect tranquillity, and that the negotiations with IBRAHIM are progress ing. This Journal seems wonderfully anxious to impress on its readers the fact that the SULTAN is in raptures at the presence of the Russian fleet in the Bosphorus, and has struck a medal in commemoration of the glorious event.

A Lisbon mail has arrived this morning, sailed on the 29th March, but we do not perceive that she brings any .hip letters front Oporto. By this conveyance we have seen Lisbon Papers of the 29th of March, in which is the official account of their attack on the Pedroites on the 24th of March, which states they fought till night, after which the General thought proper to order the troops to return to their encampment. Don Carlos and Miguel's sister, with the whole of her party, arrived at Elvas on the 21st, at night. New York Papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house to the 10th of March ; but those which arrived yesterday anticipated their contents. The New Orleans Bee states that a conductor from Za cAtuks was assail-d by robbery, and the travellers fought manfully, and killed the captain of the robbers : the con ductor reached Tampico in safety. The bill reducing the rate of interest to 6 per cent. per annum, and to 5,i per cent. when taken in advance, passed the Assembly on Monday by a vote of 50 to 42. Singapore papers to the 16th November have been re ceived at the North and South American Coffee-house. (From the Papers.) We learn by letters that the Hon. the Governor has re turned to Penang, with Mr. Kerr, in the Zephyr. Mr. Westertrout has been recently appointed President of Naning, under certain conditions not yet known. The latest accounts from Penang are, that the Neptune, with troops for Malacca, had put back there in consequence of bad weather. The Lady Munroe was also obliged to put into Penang with troops. TIIE FUNDS. The Lisbon mail which has arrived did not have any communication with Oporto, consequently we have no news from that quarter as yet. We hear that two vessels have returned from Oporto with their cargoes in four days. Consols opened at the same price they left off on Thurs day, 87 1 1 to 88 for Account, with little doing as yet. HALF-PAST ONE. Up to the present hour all our endeavours to obtain in formation from Oporto have not proved of any avail ; nor do we believe that the merchants have received any letters by the Lisbon mail from ()poi to, consequently the reports pro and con for both parties are not worth observation ; therefore we must nait the arrival of the African for official news. The latest accounts from Sartorius's squadron is of the 27th ult., by the Dove ; at that period nothing was settled. A report from Portsmouth s lye that fighting was seen off Oporto, on the 31st ult., on hind. Consols have rather improved since the early part of the day, from 87-a to 8S for the Account. The Foreign Market is also in a state of stagnation. Bank Stock may be quoted at 195 to 196, with the dividend. THREE O'CLOCK. Consols for the Account, 88i. CLOSING PRICES.—FOUR O'CLOCK.

We were this morning admitted to a private view (4811 exhibition of some paintings by the old masters, at this which is turning it to a more fitting and ratiomii account, than making it th- coalman daily resort of trading' fanatics. The paintings are few in number ; but amon! them are some uncommonly fine samples of colouring No. 25—" Interior ; a Lady and Gentleman at a Table," is remarkable for two very ably managed perspectives ; one, of a river with trees on its bank, seen stealing away in the distance through a half-open window ; the other. of an inner room, along the floor of which a man is ad vancing towards the lady and gentleman, who are sated at a tea-table in the foreground. This painting is by De Hooge. No. 29.—" A Morning Scene," is a - 4 fine a Cuyp as we ever beheld. The hand of a master is visible in ever part. We see the cold, iron-grey look of the morning, with the damp, heavy dew lying oppressively, as it were, on the herbage, and giving quite a cotnfortless expression to the scene. The sun is not yet felt; there is scarcely even a sun burst. Those whose good fortune it has been to tramp it among such scenes at such an hour, without great-coat, comforter, or woollen hose, will find the re collection of their ague fit vividly revived by the sight o; this chef d'ceuvre. No. A View of Old London Bridge," is curious to the antiquarian, and will Weise the artist by the rate skill and delicacy of its colouring. No. 34.—" Portrait of an Italian Nobleman," by vanni Viani, deserves high prdise for the dexterous manner in which the painter has brought out the letter which tie nobleman is busy reading. The profound depth of shat'e behind, throws it forward, so that it actually appears to stand out from the canvass to the full extent of the arm which holds it. No. 42.—" Diogenes in the Market-place" displays infinite tact in grouping. It is crowded with f►gures, bt;t the Cynic's countenance is not characteristic. He has a merry, roguish twinkle in his eye, which does not accord with the received ideas of this stern, snarling, saturnine cynic, whose only laugh was a sardonic convul sion of the muscles. No. 61.—" A Philosopher in his Study," develops an intensity of real feeling. It was evidently a labour of love. All is in perfect keeping. The musty book-shelf behind the window-ledge--the cob.webbed angles and cor ners of the dull, dingy room—the cracks and cre vices in the walls—the utter silence and solitude, oppressive even to melancholy—and, above all, the calm, reflecting look of the old man, whose eye speaks eloquently of enthusiasm, the fire of which age has but dimmed, not destroyed ;--view it as you will, either as a whole or in detail, nothing can he more elaborately finished than this painting. No. 6S.—" The Holy Family." The chief merit of this picture is the vivid and glorious colouring of the Vir gin. The wavy outline of the neck is perfect. No. '72.—" Landscape." A lovely, picturesque sketcl of an open, charopaigne country. The clouds are bril liantly coloured. No. 162.—" Amor." This is the gem of the collec tion. We question whether there are a dozen finer paint ings in Europe. The expression of the winged boy's up turned countenance, realizes all that poet ever yet con ceived of love ; in its purest and most elevated form. The spiritual keeps down, without destroying, the sensual. The colouring of the flesh is delicate and lightly touched. full of grace and breathing of life. The golden light too of the back-ground by which the upper half of the figure relieved, is replete with ideal beauty. Domenichino (a name—a spell, not to be thought of without reverence) is the painter of this gem. MICROCOSM, 2-1, REGENT-STREET. (THIS DAY.) The principal novelty Mr. Carpenter has introduced this season is his achromatic solar microscope by hydro•oxygen gas. The term is rather paradoxical, hut his achromatic solar microscope being well known by that name, he ha• not liked to put it out of use, although it longer sees the light of the sun. The light produc”d by the gas is not so powerful, and consequently th objects are not quite so distinctly seen as when the light of the sun is made to pass through the glass ; but, on the other hand, it can be more certainly de- pended upon. In his bills Mr. Carpenter announces the exhibition of the sixteenth part of a drop of water, filled with innumerable living creatures magnified 555,000 times, so as to cover a circular space in the spectrum of ten feet diameter ; but, from his machinery not being quite perfect, we believe it was not exhibited this morning. Microscopes, multiplying 80,000 times, however, gave the spectators some faint idea of the monsters which live, breathe, and have their being in a drop of water, their wars upon each other, their travels, amusements, &e. Lord Stanhope and several other distinguished persons honoured the exhibition with their presence. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

The Court was occupied the greater put of the morn ing in hearing parish appeals, none of which possessed matter of public interest. John Brown was indicted for indecently assaulting George Whitlock. The case occupied the Court a con siderable time; the only witnesses were the prosecutor himself (a well dressed youth in the employ of Mr. Elton, dyer, in Sloane-street) and John Redman, a policeman, No. 2, division A. They underwent a severe cross-exa mination by Mr. Clarkson, in the course of which were two or three discrepancies. The offence was alleged to have been committed in Drury-lane Theatre, and upon the prosecutor's own showing, he permitted it to be re peated before he in'ormed the policeman of it. The only portion of the policeman's testimony affecting the pri,oner was, that upon his tell►ng the prisoner the nature of ti e charge, the letter replied, " if he had done PO he meant no harm in it." Mr. CLARKiON, in his address to the Jury, contended that the prosecutor's testimony was not wholly deserving of credit. Several witnesses gave the prisoner an excellent character. The Jury found the prisoner Not Guilty. Thomas James, a bay, was convicted of stealing a joint of mutton, from the shop of Thomas Sleight, a butcher, in Princes•street, Westminster, on the 15th of February, and sentenced to one month's • imprisonment and to be once whippa. YOUTHFUL DEPRAVITY.—James Thomas alias Patrick Welch, a boy, who, although only 13 years of age, has been frequently in custody on charges of robbing shops of trifling articles, was convicted of stealing a pair ;of shoes from the shop of John kiddie. It appeared that be and two other boys, having stolen the shoes, went to a cobbler named Bradley and offered to sell them for sixpence! Bradley believing they were stolen, laid hold of the prisoner and held him until a policeman came up, when he desired the policeman to take Bradley into custody for stealing the .hoes from him.—(Laughter.) Mr. Nodder, the Governor of Tothill.fselds, on being asked by the Ch airman if he knew the prisoner, said he did, and that the prisoner was one of a gang, some of whom had already been transported. The CHAIRMAN sentenced him to two months' impri sonment and to be twice privately whipped. A LITERARY THIEF. --Richard Roberts, a young man of respectable appearance, was indicted for steeling two silver spoons and a silver salt-cellar, the property of Martha Barnett. The prosecutrix, it appeared, kept the Spring Gardens Coffee-house, and on the 4th inst. the prisoner went in, and, calling for a bacon of gravy soup, was served with it. The waiter had some suspicion of him, and consequently kept his eye upon him ; but being called away for a mo ment, the prisoner took the opportunity of putting a Eli CV table spoon, a silver salt-cel sr and salt spoon into his pocket, and suddenly left the house. Oa the waiter re turning into the coffee•romn, and missing his visiter and the property, he ran out, overtook the prisoner, and give him into custody. The property was found on his persor. The prisoner had no witnesses to call as to his character, in consequence, as he stated, of his not wishing to let his friends, who were highly respectable, know the unhappy situation he was in. He said be held a high rank in the profession of literature, and he had for the last 12 months been engaged in endeavouring to establish a periodical publication, from which he had great expectations. Ti • work was now so far advanced that it was to have been published next Saturday. It was necessary, however' m so m aokn s ee o e s h i e seat; :e ice n al t dl a into tuhpi t iao h kn e to,n one have poundsom o e f p h r i p t e o c tu purchase s'el otlt, paperand w his publisher th.

He implored the mercy of the Court, on account of his own family, and one into which he was about to marry-- his marriage having only been postponed until his long promised work was published. Could he but have dared to let his friends know his situation, he could have the highest character from persons distinguished in literature from one of whom lie had now a commission to compose some poetry for an album. The jury found him Guilty. TheCl-11.1P.MAN sentenced him to six months' impr'.. ailment. An extraordinary entry was matte yesterday at the Custom-house-41 chest's of bullion, from C „ 4 j.
