FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.—The great financial truth which Mr. Goulburn,,though Chancellor of the Exchequer, has yet to learn, that " high duties diminish revenue," is daily exemplified. The proceedings in the Court of Ex chequer on Wednesday against certain delinquent to bacco-dealers, whose smuggling speculations on a large scale has excited the attention of the revenue officers, fur nish convincing evidence thatwhere exorbitant duties are levied on any article, the smuggler will interpose, and divide the market with the honest importer, whom he will undersell, and yet obtain an enor mous profit. The illicit trader, who deals with the contraband importer, replenishes his stock at prices vastly less than he can procure the article for from ' the fair dealer. He can, therefore, undersell his a honest neighbour, who is eventually compelled to 3 % close his shop and retire from the trade. The 's revenue, in the mean time, suffers to an enormous , 0 5 ° extent—not merely by being defrauded to the amount A:5 by which the duties are evaded, but in the immense es 55 i expense at which the coast-guard service, and the 440 other penny-wise-and-pound-foolish devices for pro -110 tecting the revenue against illicit importation, are ss maintained. Fill up the useless hole which folly dug 2 ° in the high road of commerce, and the corps of watch sic) men, with lights and staves to guard against acci dents, which is kept up at a great public ex -121 pense, might be diminished, if not abolished. The 4)l°W high duties levied upon the importation of wines 640 also exemplifies and proves the same financial truth. 13 ° The Manchester Guardian of Wednesday refers to, 71 1140 and gives the result of, an " elaborate table," annexed gto the circular ofan extensive wine house of Manchester. 117 This document states the quantities of the different 2 ° kinds of wine imported yearly from 1784 to the pre /5 9115 sent time; with the various rates of duty payable on 5 ° 5 4 , each; the produce of those duties • and the amount of a consumption per head of the population. This state went deserves the attentive consideration both of the s Government and the public. The former it will in struct in the suicidal effects of exorbitant duties upon the revenue; and the latter it will furnish with facts, on which to base applications to the Government and the Legislature for their diminution or removal. From this table it appears that, notwithstanding the immense addition to the population during the last fifty years, the average quantity of wines consumed in England and Scotland alone, taking the nine years preceding and terminating with 1795, was greater than the quantity consumed in England, Ireland, and Scotland on the average of the two last years, 1842-3. In the former period the quantity taken was at the rate of 5,524,890 gallons ; and in the latter period at the rate of 5,412,104 gallons per annum. The respective rates 117 of duty during the former period were 4s. 10d. on 101 French wines, and as. lid. on th e w i nes o f all o th e r countries ; while the duty at the latter period is ss. 9d. . per imperial gallon of all kinds, except Cape. The 2154 effect of this increased rate of duty on the consump 16* 3 S tion of the articl e , a n d consequen tl y on th e revenue 34 derived from it, is manifest. "Itis a singular fact," 26 ! , 1 remarks the journal to which we h ave r ef erre d, "th a t 24 120 the duty received in England and Scotland on foreign '‘' 3 4 wine, in the year 1795, exceeded, by about 20,0001., that received in 1842 in the whole of the United King " ° 74 dom I But, probably, th e e ff ec t o f hi g h d u ti es w ill b e 5 0 0 19 11 0 o . 19. 4 % most forcibly exhibited by the av e rage consum pti on p er g g 0 0 a head of'the population. In the ten years ending 1794 55 0 a the (average) consumption was equal to three bottles 510 o 0 7 and a half per he a d ; w hil s t i n 1842-3, it h a d sun k 26% 10 0 0 to one bottle and four-ninths, being rather less / 5 5) 9 than 42 per cent. of the f ormer a m oun t." • Were th e 1250 • 0 400 wines of foreign growth to be admitted at a moderate All paid 1 / . 20 s. rate of duty—suppose of one shilling per gallon—the 2 0 0 13 3 0 0 increased consumption would in a few years com -40 141 . pensate the temporary loss to the revenue ; while the 79 comfort, health, and even the morals, of the people 1 would be improved. The apprehensions which are E 9 us sometimes urged, in the absence of sounder argu -271'11 ments, against the admission of foreign corn free of 4ssi sia duty, will be employed against reducing the duty on 16 wine. It will be s a i3, "If we a d m it th e f ore i gn 16 2% article free of, or at a low duty, we shall be placed 40s. at the mercy of foreigners for a supply; and, in the els. event of a war between Great Britain and the wine. 24 , producing countries, the supply would cease." The 112 objection is more specious than sound. The use of wine, even were the duty diminished, would, in is such a case, be still principally confined to the classes who could easily betake themselves to another exhili rating beverage, even though the supply of wine were 44 limited ; while those who now regularly drink wine 46% would still manage to procure their accustomed glass t o 1• at a price not greater than is now paid for the article. 14 The, diminution in the consumption of barley which se% a considerable increase in the present consumption of 133; wine would occasion, would be also urged against a con -434 siderable reduction in the wine duty. This also, though to a more formidable objection than the former, is scarcely 4 1 k 4 tenable. The agriculturists—who would employ this 'argument against lowering the duty on wine—are 1 25 using every e xer ti on t o r e n d er thi s country inde _% pendent of foreigners for a supply of corn. By all the appliances and means which modern discoveries 22 in science can supply, the land is to be made in -20 25 creasingly productive, to curnish adequate . supplies tso of food for the constantly increasing population. I°l But in that very proportion in which the demand for 23 barley is dimini s h e d, b rea d. corn w ill b e pro d uce d ; and 74 thus the object for which the agriculturists are striving ise with so much commendable earnestness will be assisted. 2This argument may also be employed with enct s in resisting th e a tt em pt s w hi c h are now b e i ng made z by the farmers to obtain the abolition of the malt-tax, 60 at the cost of retaining the income-tax. A removal 40 76 of that impost would increase the consumption of al barley; but then a larger breadth of land sown with 54 8 barley would re d uce th e quant i ty on w hi c h wheat is 6 IS% grown ' • and thus the nec ess ity f or i mpor ti ng w h eat from other countries would be created by the British se agricult u ri s t s , w h o a ff ect so great a horror of our 9,3 being dependent on foreigners for a supply. 56 60 STANDARD.—By what is called, in newspaper 57 phraseology, a curious coincidence, we have the or- Bans of the two extreme parties in England—" the 36 old Whig-Radical party " and " the Young England party," viz., the Morning Chronicle and the Morning 19 Post, this day attacking the policy of Sir R.

And thus examining it, we think we shall 12% find, even supposing the allegation much better founded than it seems to be, that in the state of affairs de -2,,Tv scribed, we have no reason to be ashamed or 4 7 4 i alarmed for our coun t ry , or f or bl am i ng our Govern- I % 6% ment. England an d F rance are at the head gg of the nations of the world. United they can 219 rjt . i command—we trust long will command—the peace of 3 }s the world; and w hil e thi s h appy state o f un i versal 76 16% peace is pr eserve d, th ey w ill i n a great degree share 113 the influence which their ascendancy gives. them, in 5C% more or less equal proportions. These proportions 109 will of course be det e r m i ne d accor di ng to t h e univer -5 12 sal and immutable laws by which the con -57 duct and the feelings of mankind are re -414 gulated, laws which no. diplomacy can seriously 39% affect. Now it may b e s t a t e d, as a propos i t i on ad -2t% P 265% milting o f no exception, th a t a ll na ti ons are natura l ly 25 Se jealous, that they see w ith pa i n an d apprehension the I N rapid advances to a marked ascendency of any one 5 1% nation ; and that when competition on their own part is hopeless, they will (except under the pressure 3 % of danger to themselves) r e j o i ce t o ass i s t a r i va l i n reducing the asce n d anc y o f th e o bj ect o f t h e i r 4 7 jealousy. Now w e sa y it w ith regre t , t h oug h not with n regret that England has advan ce d, b u t w ith regret ti% that France ha s no t k e pt p ace w ith h er — t h at E ngland y ; has advanced more rapidly in prosperity and power during the last half century than any other nation —more rapidly than any nation ever before ad z vanced. Here, then, is an occasion of universal 0, 4 jealousy ; a motive to every nation on the face of the earth (other considerations apart) to aid our next ra neighbour —our rival, but still, we hope, our 4 friend, to come up to our level. Prima facie is 4% every natio n i n E urope would, for the reason stated, allow a preference to the French before the English 14 influence, but w i t h respect to the nations bordering 354 upon France there is a counteracting principle. 3 4 ;i France, though perh a p s a b so l utely less powerful, is relatively to these bordering nations more power !l ful than England—she can injure them much more 7K easily than England can, as they have felt too re ,a cently to forget the lesson. It is only in the coun tries protected by distance or by local circum sx stances, from French power, that the common feel ing of jealousy has full play. In aid of this common ✓ feeling there are other motives at work in those 4 countries where the English influence is said to 7 have declined. In every country where men can i pretend to think, nay, in every council of the I most despotic state, there will be two par ( ties, and these parties will seldom be very scrupulous as to the means they employ to se -1 cure their own preponderance; but in the pre -1% sent condition of Europe the least scrupulous party, if it desire a change, whether that change be from despotism to freedom, or from free'lom to despotism, will naturally attach itself to the French influence. Non-intervention, honestly pursued, has been for centuries the characteristic of British policy. We hardly remember an exception, save under the Whig Governments of 1827 and 1831 ; and Whig Governments aro themselves, happily, exceptions to our whol e s y s t em . It would he an in sulting irony, to say the same of France. Even since the Restoration of 1815, France has, on more than one occasion, shown herself too prompt to violate the independence of her neighbours, witness the Duke of Angouleme's expedition to Spain to establish despotism, Marshal Gerard's invasion of the Netherlands to support an unprovoked re bellion, the occupation of Ancona, and other BY THE QUEEN.—•A PROCLAMATION.

We have a full confidence that, ! under the wise and just governme n t of th e pre sent King, no such attempts would now be made ; but we arc speaking of the effect of the former French policy upon the minds of others, and the events to which we have referred are too recent for the impression produced by them to be yet efface d. Certain it is that the hopes of Jacobin revolutionists and of despotic counter-revolutionists everywhere point to France, withont any fault either. of the British or the French Government; and that as either revolutionist or counter-revolutionist party predominates, the French influence will be in the ascendant. This is the penalty we must expect to pay for our fidelity to the principle of non-intervention —as we have seen we have to pay another penalty of the same kind for our prosperity. There is another consideration connected with our respect for the independence of all nations, tending in the same direction, for which we have as little cause to blush, though unfortunately it does not reflect much honour upon human nature. Spain and Greece, two of the States in which our influence is said to have declined, have both had proof that Eng land (it may be for her own sake) will not allow them to be finally oppressed by any ally or any enemy; they deal with us, therefore, upon the ungenerous principle that they will make the most of the time, while they rely upon our ultimate protection. These are principles of action, we repeat it, not to be controlled by any art of diplomacy, for what have they in common with diplomacy ? It is not by intriguing with this indi‘ vidual, or that party, that the mind of a nation is to be changed, or the moral sense of a whole people is to be elevated. Officious meddling would have a di rectly opposite effect, while it would infinitely de tract from the high character of this great and universally honoured, though universally envied country. As to the caprices of the Porte, or of the Pacha of Egypt, who can account for the caprices of tyrants, or who can correct them ? We must always calculate upon such caprices, and must anticipate that they will be generally unfavourable in proportion to our success, for constant success implies superior wisdom, and superior wisdom is to the ignorant and ill-disposed always a reason for dislike and fear. We have thus briefly considered the subject upon the hypothesis supplied by our Whig-Radical and Young England Contemporaries, and, as we think, satisfactorily shown, that unless England de scends from her present high station, or abandons the ingenuous and honourable policy that has raised her to that position, she must, in a period of peace, expect that her seeming influence will be less than that of France. Not that France seeks such preponderance by any unworthy means. The employment of such means is, we know, impossible to the present Government of France; and the employment of such means, to a serious extent, by any government of France, would probably defeat its own object by exciting jealousy; but it is expecting too much to expect that France or any other country will reject an ad vantage freely offered to her, and offered as it were in obedience to a law of nature. What we have to do is,to remain indifferent, until some of our material in terests are attacked, or, at least, endangered ; and if Lord Palmerston, or some one like him, does not ob tain admittance into the Foreign-office, this state of comfortable indifference will continue long enough.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY PF.LLEtt V. ADAMS. This was atl,action for compensation in damages for false imprisonment, brought by Anna Deller, a maid servant, against her former master, Mr. Adams, a sitiolmaster and lecturer on astronomy, residing at Tottenham--under these circumstances :—On the morning of the 1I th of March last, the pre sent plaintiff stated to her master, that, havii,g had occasion to enter the room in which the plate was kept, she discovered that it had been removed, and 1 the basket which had contained it was left empty. She appeared at the time to be very much agitated, and requested Mrs. Adams to send for a policeman. After this the nursery-maid, who had been sitting at the window at the time when the robbery was supposed to have been committed, say that she saw a man crossing the lawn before the house, that he was dressed in a velveteen coat, and that be resembled a m an o f t h e name:of Higgie. liberated on; was . apprehend e d, b ut was afterwards his recognisances. On the examination of the premises Ity the . police, no trace of the means by which the robbery was effected could be found ;Ibut it was observed, that a door which opened only on the inside, was left a j ar . T he pla i ntiff said that she 110 been cleaning the steps, and pas sage, and mig4t have forgotten to shut the door. On the same evening the defendant applied to a magistrate, who asivised hipi -to, give the two servant women into custody, it being too late to get a warrant. But Mr. Adams preferrjd to give the plaintiff only into custody. as it would be inconvenient to part with the nursery maid. The plaintiff was accordingly taken to the station-house on Saturday, and on Monday was remanded to Friday, when she was discharged. Fer this imprisonment the present action was brought. The trial occupied part of yesterday, and the whole of this day. The jury found for the plaintiff on the first issue, but on the others for the defendant ; the verdict being, therefore, substantially for the defendant. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London.

The annual four-oared races on the Isis, for a silver cup and medals given by the Univ e r s ity B oat Club, was decided on Wednesday. Th e t r i a l h eats came off on the two days previous, when St. John's beat Exeter, Baliol beat Trinity, St. John's beat Baliol, and University beat St. John's. The final heat between the University crew and the Oriel crew, the holders of the cup and medals. caused considerable interest amongst the lovers of aqua tic amusements, and the banks of the Isis were thronged with spectators. The University crew were the favour ites, although the Oriel had p rocured a fine new boat to row in, tlift`Jrently constructed from the Oxford boats, being made after the fashion of the Newcastle boats. The distance was from Offley to Oxford, rather more than a mile. The University crew went off at a slashing pace, and although much pressed by the Oriel crew, who were close upon their stern, maintained the lead through out, and won gallantly by two boats' lengths. This is the third time within four years that the cup has been won by the University crew. The crew on the present occasion consisted of Messrs. A. K. Dawson (bow) k Follett, 2 ; A. Gray, 3 F. C. Walsh ( s t ro k e ) I C. 11 Shebbeare (coxswain). _____ •. ••••••••=1••••■•••••• POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. FELONY.— Wm. Popioy was charged with having stolen 150 yards of Orleans cloth from the premises of Messrs. Garrard and Co., linendrapers, Leicester square. Charles Thomas, a porter in the employ of Mr. Bray, ironmonger, Cranbourne street," said he was passing through Leicester-square yesterday, when he saw the prisoner take up a parcel of goods which was standing inside the doorway of the prosecutor's shop. Suspecting that the prisoner had no authority to remove the pro perty, he went into the shop, and on mentioning what he had seen, was informed that the prisoner had committed a robbery. The prisoner was immediately pursued, and the property was found in his possession. Mr. Garrard identified the property. The prisoner, who is a very young man, appeared so inuoh affected while making his defence, as to induce a belief that his story was not untrue. He said he was a sailor, and had been paid off about a month ago from th e Childers, vessel of war, an d th en h e ha . l 100/ in his pos session. Having spent all but 251. he came to London by the train on Wednesday last with that sum in his pocket. Being a stranger in London he was unfor tunately persuaded by a loose woman to accompany her h o me. In the morning he found himself stripped of every farthing of his money, and all his stock of linen, except what he then had on. Feeling himself quite reckless he thought the best course for him to take would be to do something that would ensure his being trans ported, and it was with this view that he had laid hold of the first thing within his reach. The prisoner was fully committed. UNION -HALL. Yesterday Miss Elizabeth Forbes, of Camden-villa, Peckham, was summoned for refusing to deliver up the possession of a casket of jewels and some articles of household furniture, the property of Mr. W. C. Richards, of Langton -place. Vassall-road, Camberwell. The complainant stated that a short time since he was in partnership with Mr. Forbes, at which period he was paying his addresses to his daughter, and they were to have been married, the banes having been put up fur that purpose. In August last the complainant, having occasion to leave town for Paris, gave Mrs. Forbes 18/, to purchase some furniture for the house intended for his bride, and while in Paris his mother gave him a casket of jewels to present to his wife on his wedding day. On his return from Paris he found the furniture bad been bought agreeably to his wishes, and having exhibited the jewels to Miss Forbes she was much pleased with their brilliancy, and requested him to let her have them to show to a young lady, her . cousin. Complainant could not refuse so reasonable a request, but circumstances having since occurred to break off the match between them, he of course applied for the restitution of the jewels and also the furniture, but he met with a refusal, and was therefore compelled to have recourse to the pre sent pro ceedings to compel her to deliver up his property. The defendant's solicitor said that the jewels and also the money for the furniture were the spontw,eo ns gift of the complainant to hi client, and he therefore did not sea that it was compulsory on her part to deliver up the possession, although the match was broken off be tween the parties. The solicitor then proceeded to cross- bulk consisted, went at 27s tid to 40s, sound micl4rie red fetched 43s 6d to 445, and low grey 41s to 42s ; 82 bags Grenada fetched 403 to 43s fur sound, and 37s to 4ls per cwt for sea damaged. The market has still a firm appearance for Foreign Cocoa. COFFEE.-Importers of West India have been more inclined to realise this week, still there has been a good d:rnand for most descriptions, and the rates previously established have generally been supported. This alter noon there was no public sale of any kind of Coffee ; Ceylon of good ordinary pale quality met with little at tention, and 52s to 52s 6d per cwt is the value. Jamaica of middling quality is however much wanted, but little is to be had. For colory Ceylon there were several in quir'es, and full rates paid for the parcels disposed of. MOLASSES.-Prices remain firm for West India, and purchases to a fair extent have been made by private contract. Today some parcels of West India were sold at full rates, making the total purchases for the week 300 puns, chiefly at 21s ed for St. Kitt's, and at 21s to 21s 6d for St. Vincents. TEA.-Merchants manifest firmness, and none has been offered at public sale since this day week, the Trade generally are desirous to operate, and the market has a very firm appearance ; the clearances from the warehouses for home consumption have exceeded 480,000 lb since this day week; the demand is de cidedly increasing for nearly every descriptions of Tea, and stocks in second hands are much reduced of late. To-day the market was firm for Tea, and several transactions took place. Twankay of common quality is fetching is 3d to is 31d, and ord Congou cash lOid to 1 Id per lb ; large parcels are being laid down for In spection. SPICES.-The supply of Nutmegs having increased, a decline in prices of ld to 2d per lb has taken place this week-Singapore fine bold brown at 4s ld to 4c 2d, good and mid good 3s 7d to 3s lid, raid 3s 5d to 3s 6 , 1, and worm-eaten Is 9d to Is 10d per lb. Gloves are not much wanted-good bold bright Penang was sold at 2s Id to 2s 2d, but Bourbon at 10d to 10ed formid. Although prices rule low for black Pepper, still there are few shipping orders, and the home trade have purchased sparingly.
