After the transaction of private business Mr. E. EL.I.IcE complained that the income-tax was charged upon the funds of Benevolent Societies where the in come was under 1501. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER promised to make inquiries with a view of providing a remedy for the evil. The Right llon. Gentleman, in answer to Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, stated that no copy of the Divi dend Book of the Bank of England had been sent to the office of the Commissioners of Stamps and Taxes. Sir J. GRAHAM, in answer to Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, expressed that after Easter he mitht be able to in troduce a satisfactory Bill for guarding against the recurrence of explosions in collieries. The second reading of tl e Smoke Nuisance Pre vention Bill was, after a short conversation, deferred until the 2d April. On the order of the day for the third reading o; the Property-tax Bill being read, Mr. WAKLEY drew the attention of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER to the unjust surcharge, to the amount of 24,0001., which had been made upon Mr. FIELDEN. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had not been aware of the circumstance until that moment, but he would advise Mr. FIELDEN to appeal from the deci sion of the local Commissioners to the Commissioners of Stamps and Taxes. A short discussion ensued on the subject of the ap pointment of local Commissioners, and on the motion for the third reading of the Bill being put, Mr. SPOONER moved the insertion of a clause for the purpose of enabling persons engaged in business, and employing members of their family in that buli nesf, to deduct the value of such labour from his pro fits before being assessed to the income-tax. Mr. MUNTZ seconded the motion. Tne CHANCELLO R of the EXCHEQUER felt bound to oppose It, for he believed that at present every re lief w as afforded to parties engaged in trade, except such as would operate injuriously on other classes With respect to the other amendment of which the Hon. Gentleman had given notice, to enable a trader to deduct local and ether rates, he had no hesitation in saying that a trader under the present law was justified in deducting local rates levied on those por tions of his premises which were employed in trade. Mr. SPOONER replied, and the House divided, when there appeared—For the, clause, 39 ; Against it, 151; Majority against the claue, 112. Mr. SPOONEE then moved the insertion of the fol lowing clause : "And be it further enacted that from and after the pasaißg of this Act it shall be lawf4l for all persons chargeable under schedules D and E, who may have effected, or may hereafter effect, any insurance or in surances on their respective life or lives, to claim deduc tion from the amount of the annual premium paid for such insurance or insurances ; and whenever such de duction so claimed shall reduce the net annual income below the annual sum of 150/., the parties so claiming shall be entitled to exemption from payment of duty." Lord JOHN MARNERs seconded the motion. Mr. IVARnuaToN opposed the proposition of the Hon. Gentleman, because it would be impossible to carry it out. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER considered the scheme to be impracticable. After a few words from Mr. HAWES and Mr. AGLIONBY, the House divided, when there appeared —For the amendment, 26 ; Against it, 87; Majority against the amendment, 61. Mr. lITAKLEy, in moving the amendment of which he had given notice, would tell the Government that the country expected that the pledge given should be redeemed, and that the tax should cease at the end of three years. He believed that the amend ment which he was about to submit was necessary to render the tax palatable even for that time, and he would, therefore, move the insertion of the following clause : " And whereas doubts have arisen whether the landlord fur the time being of premises charged under Schedule (A) is liable to the duty charged on the said premises under the said last-mentioned schedule, whether the said landlord shall or shall not have received the rent in respect of the said premises ; be it enacted, and it is hereby enacted, that it shall and may be lawful for the Commissioners for General Purposes, acting for the district in which the said pre mises are situated, on appeal to them made fur that pur pose by the said landlord or his agent , to discharge the assessment, or such portion thereo, at the rate of seven pence in the pound on such amount of rent as the said landlord shall prcve to their satisfaction lie has wholly lost, and has not been able and is rot bk. ly to recover in respect of the said premises, and on which he would have been liable to pay the said duty, by way of deduc tion, in case the occupier for the time being, or any other person for him, had paid the said rent." - The CHANCELLOi of the EXCHEQUER opposed the clause as unnecessary. The landlord had by law ex traordinary remedies for the recovery of his rent, so that vrith common prudence he could not suffer loss. If he did not exercise common prudence in the choice of his tenants he must take the consequences. Mr. \VARLET bitterly regretted the opposition made by the Government to all attempts at modifying this odious tax ; but, with the example of the fate of the Hon. Member for Birmingham before him, he would withdraw his amendment. Mr. FOSTER then proposed the introduction of the following clause : " And whereas all persons, corporations, and compa nies carrying on any mines of lead, tin, coal, copper, iron, or other undertakings, of the like nature, are now chargeable ur.der schedule (A), be it enacted, that from and after the passing of this Act the said persons, cor porations, or companies so chargeable in respect of all such undertakings, shall be assessed for the same under schedule (D), in like manner, and with the same option of privacy, as other persons, corporations, or companies chargeable under that schedule." After a short conversation the clause was agreed to. Sir R. H. INGLIS then moved the following clause : " Provided always, that the said rates and duties shall not be assessed or taken upon any income whatever, ex cepting with respect to the sum by which such income shall exceed 1501. " lie knew what the result of a division would be, but to avoid being taunted by any future Chancellor of the Exchequer that the measure in its present form had been fully sanctioned by the house, he felt called upon to put it to the vote. The motion was seconded by Mr. SPOONER, and opposed by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. On a division there appeared—For the amendment, 25 ; against it, 59—Majority against the amendment, 34. Sir W. CLAY could not allow the Bill to pass with out entering his protest against it. The Hon. Baro net, in the course of his speech, defended the miser from the imputations which are generally cast upon him, and gave it as his opinion that the miser was a great benefactor of society, and was, therefore, by no means the fittest person to be taxed. Sir R. PEEL, in alluding to the parting malediction of the Hon. Gentleman, declined entering into the question of the comparative merits of direct and of in direct taxation. But he must say that if there were in any country taxes which pressed upon industry, and at the same time a palpable tendency to ac cumulate, then property might he directly taxed ; and that if a tax on property were to be imposed, it should be on income, and not upon accumulated capital. He would not contemplate the discussion which was likely to arise when the renewal of the tax came again before the House. At this the Mem bers laughed, as well they might, and the Right Hon. Baronet went on to observe that the House would not expect him to say now what course he might take upon that future occasion. He sail, already preparations were going on in the glass trade —suppose then the thousands who were now un employed—and other thousands—should find employ ment—suppose the glass manufactures of this country should come into competition with I.3el4ium and Bohemia—might not this country, on the same ground as it now a ‘ cquiesced in the income-tax, be in clined to try further the application of direct taxation, if not exactly in this shape ? Was it therefore to be expected that he should now pledge himself to the re peal of the tax in three years ? Mr. HAwEs thought they ought not to be called upon to submit to an income-tax until the burdens on industry had been removed, and indirect taxation placed on a sounder basis. Mr. J. S. WouTLEx supported the Government. Mr. WARD said that while Sir R. PEEL always did Ns hat he said, the Hon. Gentlemen on his (Mr. WAan's) side of the Howe, said a great deal, but did nothing. He highly approved of the Budget of the Government, and he came down that night to record his vote in favour of the Income- tax. After a few words from Mr. CURTEIS, Mr. DARBY, Sir C. NAPIER, and Mr. TBELAWNT, the Bill WAS read a third time and passed. The Sugar Duties Bill was read a second time, after a short discussion, and ordered to be committed on Friday. The Customs Export Duties Bill was reads second time and ordered to be committed. The Justices' Clerks and Clerks of the Peace Bill was read a second time after a short discussion, and ordered to be committed on the 14th April. The House then went into Committee on the Bas tardy Bill. All the clauses of the original Bill were agreed to. Two additional clauses, proposed by Sir J. GRAHAM, were also added to the Bill, and the House resumed. The Bill was ordered to be re ported to-morrow (this day). The House then adjourned. The debate raised in the House of Commons, on Monday night, by Mr. CHARLES BULLER'S declaratory motion—" That the circumstances under which the re newal of the income-tax is at present proposed are such as to render it extremely improbable that Parliament will have the power of dispensing with its continuance. at the end of three years ; and that it is therefore e d uty of the House to take care that the tax be irn .ense d i n a form in which its operation shall be les:, unequal and inquisitorial than it now is "—was ()P.() of the most im portant which has yet been taken on this great question. Thanks to the ability and I :agenuity with which Mr. BULLER introduced his 'motion, the true statement of this case between the .t'remier and the pablic was fairly brought before the House of Commons. The singular hardihood with which Sir RoDERT PEEL has, over and again, attempted to persuade the people who are to pay the income and property-tax that they lose no more by its imposition than what is made up to them in what they gain through his tariff, and this year's reductions of duties, has often excited our astonishment. Mr. BULLER may claim the merit of having so completely unmasked and anatomized this pretext, that we suspect it will scarcely be hazarded again this session. There is, in truth, no more real equation between the burden of the income-tax and the benefits of the tariff, than there is between the total amount of anonymous remittances to Chancellors of the Exchequer of 501. Beek of England notes, "like angels' visits, few and far between," and the stupendous capital of the national debt, towards the re duction of whict they are expressly desired to be applied. This was an absurdity palpable enough, and Mr. BULLER made the must of it. But there was a better joke behind. Some gentlemen on the Opposition benches had designated the scheme, announced by the Premier on _the 14th of February, ai the "poor man's budget." There is nothing like a g,-)od Si.:t name to induce people who have not closely looked. into a given plan to concur in your opinion of it. W e have already borne testimony to the intrinsic merits , and they were neither few nor slight, of that financial 'itatenient. But as to its being the " pobr man's budget s " , Ar BULLER, whose views on this point were fra:44sly and g9')ly sustained by THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 13, 1845. Sir R. EL INGLIS, has permanently demolished, we fear, its every shadow of such a title. In testing the amountof be nefit which a poor couple, for example, would derive from such fiscal reductions as that proposed on the duty on raw cotton, Mr. BULLER was etfiinently effective and amusing, without exceeding the fair limits of an argu ment raised, undoubtedly, on an extreme case. The result of his calculation was to show, that while the man might gain, say lid. on the cost of a complete fustian suit, and the woman another lid. on the cost of two cotton gowns, per annum, they would be paying, on a moderate computation of their yearly consumption of sugar, threepence per month to the West India pro prietor under the operation of the Premier's un fortunate scale of altered sugar duties. In fine, he established a strong case to show that the apprehensions suggested by the terms of his motion were well warranted ; that there had been no sufficient previous inquiry into the present con dition of our taxation, so as either to afford a guarantee against the continuance of the income tax beyond this assumed period of three years, or to render its operation less oppressive and inquisito rial than it now is. If the Hon. Member for Liskeard was warranted in his view of the case, namely—that, whilst the Premier proposed to remit a specific amount of certain duties, his other proposition was ♦irtually to continue the income-tax for ever—we are compelled to admit that they who ought to represent the interests of their countrymen at large are making themselves panics to a most scandalous and improvident bargain. If they V 1 ho vote with the Minister in his majorities on the income-tax really consider that it is a tax which is to be a permanent one, or which is to- endure even for the term of three years doubled, they are dishonest trustees. They know that the parties by v‘hom they have been deputed to act have never anticipated any such protraction of this war impost. They know that the public would have in structed them to kick the proposition out of the House on the first evening of its introduction had it been ac companied by any such condition fairly stated ; and we must reluctantly confess that our own fears are strongly aroused by the tone assumed on both sides of the House throughout the whole current of the debate. It was a statesmanlike objection which Mr. BULLER took to the danger of adopting, in time of peace, the extreme limit to which the principle of direct taxation can be pushed in time of war—thus proclaiming to the world the extent to which the extra ordinary resources of our taxation had been drawn upon before the occurrence of that extraordinary exigency for which they should have been sacredly reserved. But we are more alarmed by the tacit assent which the hypothesis of intended permanency, or, at any rate, of protracted duration to the income- tax, received in sue cessionfrom the speeches of the Chancellor of the Exche quer, Lord Howietc, Sir R. 'moms, Mr. Hums, and Sir R. PEEL himself. We have not forgotten the answer which the Premier gave on a former occasion to Mr. WAIKLEY'S very reasonable question, " Whether, at the expiration of the three years the income-tax would be further continued?" "It would be time enough," quoth Sir ROBERT, "to answer that question when the three years had expired." Now we deny this off-hand assertion. The House has already had abundant experience of this sort of tactics in the Pre mier's plans of fiscal operations. Whether it be a pro position connected with the Currency question, or the Bank Charter, or the income-tax, his smartness is shown in never allowing those who are opposed to him any opportunities of maturely considering the measures he has propounded, or of preparing their objections, or of organising their resistance to it. This has been made the subject of repeated and well-grounded com• plaint during the present session, as it was towards the conclusion of the last. For the Chancellor of the Ex• chequer, therefore, to have complained on Monday night that Mr. BULLER was coming forward " at the eleventh hour" with his objections to the income-tax, was a reproof which came with singular bad grace on such a question from any member of her MAJESTY'S Government. We think that Sir R. PEEL is amenable to a charge of bad faith for his mole of unfairly pressing on the decision— we mean the vote of his Ministerial majority—on the continuance of this odious tax ; as well as to the impu tation of extreme rashness and impolicy, in resorting at all to the principle of an income-tax (our exception is not to a property-tax), at so advanced a period of peace, for supplementing a deficient revenue. After the inti mations elicited on Monday night as to the possible perpetuity of this tnx, and the cold discouragement with which Sir R. 11. liicus's equ'table proposition in favour of small incomes was received, we can uo longer give to the Government proposal the benefit of any doubts we might have formerly entertained upon it. It is vicious in principle, cruelly and clumsily unequal in apportionment, light upon the rich, heavy upon the poor, inquisitorial in its Lay, irritating in its management, wasteful in its anticipation of resources, and odious in all its associations and precedents. By the arrival of the Peninsular and Oriental Com pany's steamer Pacha, we have accounts from Gibraltar to the Ist, and Lisb )n to the:sth inst., and regret to state that news had been received at the former place of the death of ?Ir. HAY, British Consul at Tangiers. He had been ill for only a few days. Itt Lisbon a law had bean introduced into the Cortes for the re construction of the Council of State. The receipts at the Custom-house for the month of February had fallen off considerably. There is no news from the other ports at which the steamer touched. The voyage had been long and boisterous. From the time the Pacha left Gibraltar till her arrival here, she experi enced nothing but the most tempestuous weather. On the Bth and 9th she could not make more than three miles an hour. We have no accounts from Zurich later than the 6th instant., but some details are given in the papers re specting the appointment of the Committee on the ques tion relative to the Jesuits, and the views taken by the different Deputies, which are not without interest. The Committee has been appointed, and consists of seven members. Only thirteen out of the twenty-four Depu ties voted, viz., Zurich, Berne, Glarie, Soleure, Schaff hausen, St. Gall, Argau, Thurgau, Grisons, Vaud, Tes sino, Neuchatel, Geneva. The demi-cantons of Bale and Appenzell neutralised eech other. The rest of the can tons abstained from voting. All the Committee except one were named at the first ballot. M. MousoN, of Zu rich, had 11 votes ; M. NEUHAUS, of Berne, 11 ; M. MUNTZIGER, of &Sure, 9; M.KERN, of Thurgau, 8; M, NEFF, of Saint Gall, 8 ; M. FRET, of Bale-Town, 7 ; 31. DRUEY, of Vaud, 10. From this it will be seen that the majority of the Committee belongs to the Radical party. After the nomination of the Committee the question of the free corps was opened. Fourteen Deputies detailed their instructions. Lucerne, Uri, Schwytz, Unterwald, Zug, and Fribourg, fully approve of the repressive mea sures proposed by the Vorort ; Saint Gall, Grisons, and Appenz -11, do the same, with the exception of certain provisions ; Berne, Soleure, and Mile Country will not give any decisive opinion until after something has been done against the Jesuits. Berne merely demanded that the question should be referred to a Committee, without entering into the merits of the question. The Deputy for Lucerne made a long and violent speech in sureport of its decision in favour cf the Jesuits and r:gainst the free corps. The debate was adjourned ', Monday, the 10th instant, to hear the Deputies Vaud, Valais, Tessino, Neu_ of Argau, Thurgovia, r erttetel, Geneva, and Zurich. Some of . the Swiss j w. enals state that the Provisional G overnment of X dud has demanded of that of the Valais explanatio n :. on the subject of its having callei out three 'arsttalions. The Coun c il of Stat e of th e V a l a i s replied, that this armament was rendered necessary by the provocations of the Vulaisian refugees, who an nounced an attack, and by an erroneous account of con siderable armaments in the district of Aigle. It is added, that these troops will march through Martigny, and that they will be disbanded as soon as circumstances will permit. Madrid journals of the 4th have been received. They contain no fresh intelligence. The Three per Cents. closed: on that day on the Madrid Bourse at 34 9-16 (60 days) ; the Five per Cents., 25k (60 days); Coupons, 27k (GO days); and the Debt without Interest at 1k (60 days), with premium. In the French Chamber of Deputies on Monday the order of the day for passing the Pensions Bill was read, when a ballot was called for, as on Saturday. On that occasion there was a vast majority against the Bill, as nearly all the Ministerial party had absented themselves, but as the number present was not sufficient to make a House, the vote fell to the ground. On Monday there was a full attendance, and when the numbers were taken there appeared for the Bill 188, and against it 201 ; majority against the Bill, 13. The Bill was introduced by the Government, but consi lerable alteration had been made in Committee, and the Conservative party in consequence, it was said, became indifferent on the question, and some of them still kept away. It appears the Cabinet did not attach much importance to tho Bill ; but still, says the Journal des Debate, before the ballot of Monday had taken place, " it would be deeply to be regretted if it were to be lost through a negligence that would be totally inexcusable." The Na4ional seizes the opportunity of pointing out the powerless state of the Ministry. " The amendmend," says that journal, "relating to the length of service of law functionaries, and their time of contributing to the pension fund, having been adopted by the Chamber against the wish of the Government, the Conservatives found nothing better than to cause the Bill to fall to the ground, by abstaining from voting, and rendering the ballot null. The Chamber is divided into two nearly equal parts. The number of the Members pre sent scarcely exceeds 220, and 230 are ne cessary to render a ballot valid. It depends, there fore, on the minority, not to have good laws passed, but to prevent the adoption of bad ones by the Ministry. That would be, besides, the last and best means of rendering apparent to all a truth which com mences to be pretty generally comprehended—that there is no longer in reality amongst us any Government, any regular authorities, and that we should be in a veritable anarchy, if the good sense and love of order implanted in the heart of the nation, did not hold the place of the authority which is everywhere wanting." After this Bill had been disposed of, M. REMUSAT brought forward his motion for declaring certain public offices incompa tible with the functions of a Member of Parlia ment. M. GITIZOT opposed the motion, not only b-:- cause the proposed measure was defective in itself, but because it was contrary to the institutions and in terests of the country. lie had no objection, however, to the discussion of the motion, for he had no doubt that discussion would open the- eyes of Members and make them reject it. M. DUPIN, who had previously voted against a simi t ar proposition, supported the motion, and gave as a reason for changing his opinion, the recent dismissal of public functionaries on account of their votes. It was then resolved, without a division, that the proposition should be taken into consideration. The Afoniteme contains a royal ordonnance on the re port of the Minister of Justice and Public 'Worship, against the pastoral letter issued at Lyons en the 21st November, 1844, by Cardinal DE BONALD, Archbishop of Lyons. It is in these words :—" Our Council of State having been heard, we have ordained and do ordain as follows :—Art. 1. There is abus in the pastoral letter issued at Lyons, on the 21st November, 1844, by the Cardinal Archbishop of LYONS. The said pastoral letter is and shall remain suppressed.—Art. 2. Our Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice and Public Worship, is charged with the execution of this present ordonnance, which shall be inserted in the Bulletin des Lois. Given at the Palace of the Tuileries, this 9th March, 1845." This ordonnance is signed by the KING, and counter-signed by the Minister of Justice and Public Worship. The Armoricain of Brest announces the speedy de parture of Admiral DUPETIT THOUARS from Paris, on a mission to the Mocambique Channel and the coasts of Madagascar.

Stn,—Your account of the "disgraceful conduct" of some officers of the 37th Regiment, stationed at Gosport, should not be silently passed over, as it appears to me to merit the severest censure. It would be very amusing, Sir, could you favour your readers with some further particulars of the trial, and more particularly the names of the Magistrates who presided. I most heartily join with you in the wish that it may be carried to the Horse Guards.-4 am, Sir, your obedient servant, A COUNTY MAGISTRATE. Upper Brook -street, March 12, 1845. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.

The third annual meeting of this Association took place last evening, in Exeter Hall, Lord John Russell in the Chair. snoo awonnfe g odu r t e bohl d a efe t nbetmehfieebtes cheering,etogti better fregetrha fa The report being read, meeting, was received withhot The NOBLE Loan, who, on rising to address the e d a ttnehr l I :oa. e pnll nose him selfinoti ght u ata l nh d t remarks, as there were other gentlemen ef o r n t taitpt ot m c er , u x: p ipan y Al a t the isohns ioctshi eaaottpo follow,it eoleninn objects opening te u e b s m ra s l able existed in the present system was, that it not only injured the health and impaired the intellect, but took away ill that time and those opportunities which ought to be devoted to spiritual worship. It was certainly a great cause of complaint, and one which ought to be re moved, that those who were engaged in shops should be compelled to begin work at seven o'clock in the morn ing, and not be allowed to close their labours till ten or eleven o'clock at night. Such a practice left no time for improvement, either for this world or the next. It was easy to prove, that not only did it debilitate the health, take away all time for mental cultivation and improve ment, but to a great degree, if not altogether, totally deprived those employed of all chance of pre paration for another and a future life.—(Cheers.) If this was the oase, why was it that one generation after another was permitted to pass away without some m eans of improvement being devised ? He meant to say why, while they as a meeting possessed the advantages of immense mechanical improvements and inventions, and sources of wealth, and, at the same time, mo ral culture and mental improvement, had not this civilis ation passed beyond the limits of comparative barbarism? Let them endeavour to improve society. There were, no doubt, many causes of evil beyond the reach of legis legion, yet, nevertheless, there was much in their power to accomplish. If they could not bring abut a great amount of good in their own individual characters, there was a power in the country to which they could appeal, that of public opinion, which when once enlightened and directed to this question, would accomplish most important results. Ought they not to look forward to a time when the hours of the labouring classes devoted to toil would be made of moderate length, and a suffi cient part of the twenty-four hours be set apart for mental improvement, and for affording fuller opportu cities for making them better men and better Christians? The Drapers' Association were labouring for such a re sult ; and if ho thought that wealth was the only object sought by his countrymen in the pursuit of business, he for one should lose all respect for the character of Eng land. When their great poet described the building of a pandemonium, Mammon, the least and meanest spirit was represented as leading on the work. But should they, who were seeking to erect a greater and a nobler temple—a temple of civilization and of Christian truth—not look for a purer and a holier spirit to lead them forward?—(Loud cheers.) Most certainly they should. The subject of late hours of employment branched into several departments, and though the present meeting was but a small portion of the public, yet vvou!d the question go forward and gather strength until at last it became re sistless.—(Cheers.) Having made these general remarks, he would not go further into the question, but leave it in the hands of the other gentle men who were to follow, and who could better explain the objects of the meeting than himself. ( rhe Noble Lord then sat down amidst loud and general cheering.) Various resolutions, having for the purpose the for warding of th e o bj ec t s of the Association, were then pro posed and agreed to. Among the gentlemen who ad dressed the meeting, was Mr. C. BULLER, M.P., who announced himself as favourable to the principle of compulsory legislation on the subject, should such legislation become necessary. The meeting, which was very fully attended, broke up at eleven o'clock. OLYMPIC TMEATRH.—Shakspeare's tragedy of Othello was phsented at this establ►shment on Saturday evening fur the purpose of affording Mr. Alfred Ormonde an opportunity of displaying his tragic powers in the part of Othello. His performance of this difficult character proved exceedingly satisfactory, and at the fall of the curtain he was summoned to receive the congratulations of a numerous and highly respectable audience. " A distinguished amateur of literary and colonial celebrity" enacted the part of lago, and was extremely well received. Miss Davenport,proved a very interesting Destlemona, agd Waldreg acted Casio well. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND tlubltr Optitton. " Who runs may read." rb REIGN. It is said that the Duchess of Orleans will this summer pay a visit to her family at Mecklenburg, accompanied by the Duke and Duchess of Nemours. The Prince de Joinville and the Dukes d'Aumals and Montpensisr are expected at Brussels soon after the 15th of this month. A royal ordonnance has be. n issued, condemning the pas toral letter of the Archbishop of Lyons. The Democratic Pacifique states that Government, seeing the indifference with which the clergy regard the condemna tions of the Council of State, intends speedily proposing a Bill declaring the Council of State the first degree of jurisdiction for prelates. According to the Democratie, the prelates found guilty are to be taken in appeal before the Chamber of Peers. A penalty is to be established, first, by the suspen- sion or suppression of salary ; next, by temporary removal from their dioceses; and,ler , t y, by banishment to the States of the Romish Church. The Count do Shandy has addressed a circular to the rectors of the universities, calling upon them to observe with strictness and zeal the duties imposed upon them in the edu cation of the youths entrusted to their charge. M. Dupin, sen., has published a letter, which he had ad dressed to one of the bishops, who was about to follow the ex• ,ample of the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, by censuring the work published by M. Dupin, on the dispute between the Clergy and the University. M. Dupin professes his high veneration for the prelates in their religious character, but asserts his right to expose his views as to their legal rights, and those of the institutions which they oppose. The number of tickets to be issued for the lianquet to Marshal Bugeaud is limited to 400. There are to be 40 stewards, each of whom has the disposal of nine tickets, the remaining 40 being destined for the invited guests. The Bourse will be splendidly lighted, and a military band will be placed in the upper galleries. The price of the tickets is to be 50f. each. It is stated that the Minister of Public Works is about to present in the Chamber of Deputies a Bill relative to in ternal navigation, containing extensive ameliorations. In the proposed system the expense is, it is said, to be 80 mil lions, to be d►stributed over the whole kingdom, and for a certain number of years. The Municipal Council of Boulogne has just Toted 160,000 f. for the establishment of sulks d'asile and schools for the poor in the different quarters of the town. A Berlin letter, in the Augsburg Gazette, of the sth, as serts that the question of a Constitution for Prussia has been again discussed in the Council, and that there is a prospect of some important announcement on this subject being made during the present year. M. Etienne, Peer of France, well known for,his many highly popular productions, has been for some time suffering from illness, and is at present considered in a dangerous state. Constantinople letters of the 17th ult. annoance the arri val of Dr. Wolff at Trebisond, accompanied by an Ameer, sent as Ambassador by the King of Bokhsra to her Majesty the Queen of England; but the latter announcement requires confirmation. A Dijon journal states that a few days ago two little Sa voyards were found in the road near that place frozen to death. One of them was kneeling, with clasped hands ex tended upwards, as if in the act of prayer. A farmer, residing near Tulle, says a letter from that place, lately left home on business on horseback in exceedingly snowy weather; the animal returned home soon after with out him, and in a few days the man's body was found 'half eaten by wolves. About ten days ago, several houses in the small town of Massat (Ratite Garonne) were buried under an avalanche. When the snow was cleared away, the dead bodies of an en tire family were found in ono of the houses. A11:07 AND POLXOD.

MISCELLANEOUS. The annual meeting of the Cheesmongers' Benevolent In stitution was held on Tuesday, at the London Tavern, for the purpose of receiving the report of the Committee and the election of three additional pensioners to the benefits of the Society. Mr. Corderoy filled the chair. The report stated that since the formation of the Institution forty-three pensioners had derived benefit from it, and the number now on its books amounted to 31. The financial statement showed that the funded stock of the Society amounted to 6,500/. • the donations 70/. Is., annual subscriptions 600/. 125., dividends on stock 179/. 2s. sd. ; the sum paid to pensioners during the past year was 5421. 13s. 4d.; leaving a balance in the Treasurer's hands, after payment of the ordinary expenses, of 2191. 13s. 9d. On Tuesday a public meeting of the Southwark Protestant Operative Association was held in the National School-room, Borough-road, Southwark, to take into consideration the grant about to be proposed by Government to Maynooth Col lege.

Mr. Hall, by Mr. Thomas Bowling (an operative), and James Lord, Esq., resolutions were carried unanimously con demnatory of the principles of the Roman Catholic faith, and against any further grant being made towards the endow ment and support of Maynooth College. The continued severity of the season has rendered the greatest exertion necessary for the relief of the houseless poor. All the asylums are nightly filled with objects of dis tress, and the humane public are strongly appealed to for aid in the preservation of the lives of their fellow-creatures. The Drapers' Company have contributed 30/. to this °Ned, as well as 10/. 10s. to the Mansion-house poor-box. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS - . CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

The West India accounts, per Tay steamer, have excited considerable regret as regards the awful conflagration at Barbadoes, from which it will be long ere the colony recovers. The weather had been rather tempestuous in several of the islands, but we hear of no decided damage either to property on shore or the crops, although, in many instances, the season was not so favourable for the latter as could be wished. The British Guizna Bank had declared a dividend of 4 per cent. only—not a very brilliant illustration of the profitableness of colonial banking. From Honduras we are advised that political feeling ran high there, and was in some cases rather threatening. The news from Mexico confirms the previous intelligence of Santa Anna's capture. It is satisfactory to find that the new Government has sent forward a small remittance for the divi dends, and we hope ft is a sort of "earnest" that they will speedily attend to their foreign obligations. A new article of import has just been introduced into the English market from AuStralia, viz., candied peaches. This delicious fruit seems to have been brought to great perfection by the Sydney house of Cooke and Staddon, and may be come of some importance hereafter, as another means of re mittance, which, added to many new minor sources the colonists are opening, • will tend to increase the aotivity and advantage of the trade with the mother country. Messrs. Keeling and Hunt will, by holding a public sale, at once solve the question as to whether this new article of import will pay. There is rather less firmness in the Public Securities, owing to the majority against the French Ministers, but no decided effect is visible, and the Unfunded Debt has even improved again, being 655. to 675. premium. Consols have been 9934 to par for the present transfer, and 100% to 1 4 for Account. Bank Stock has been 219 to 220 for time. The Foreign Bonds are quite neglected. Spanish, however, have rallied a little, being 29 3 / 4 to 30 for the Actives. Mexican have touched 36% to 37. Chilian arc 100/ 2 .

The usual general half-yearly meeting of the Share holders tend Directors of the West London Railway Company was held at their office in Abehurch-lane yes terday. There was a numerous attendance, and at two o'clock, Mr. GROUNDS was called to the chair, upon taking which, he very briefly addressed the meeting upon the state of the Company's affairs, and concluded by suggest ing that the report should be read, and hoped it would be adopted. The report of the Directors was then read, as was also an address to the Directors by the Shareholders, which was an echo of the report, and both were unanimously adopted. After a few words, in opposition to the report, from Mr. WITCHURCH, Mr. GUNTER said he differed from Mr. Witchurch. He never expected that the line could be carried on from the Kensington-basin Terminus to the Thames, without considerable addition to the Company, and the event had proved that he had not been in the wrong. The meeting then agreed to re-elect the same Di rectors for the ensuing year, after which The CHAIRMAN announced that they should now re solve themselves into a special meeting. The SECRETARY read the resolution of a former meet ing, empowering the Company to dispose of certain for feited shares, to the amount of 969, which he said had been held by certain parties, who paid up but one in stalment, and had soon after become bankrupt. After a short discussion, it was agreed upon that the shares should be forfeited, and that the Directors should be empowered to sell them if they should so think fit. A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. THE NAVIGATION OF THE THAMES.—On Tuesday several men were employed, under the direction of Captain Fisher, the Harbour-master, in making preparations off Limehouse-reach for removing an extensive quantity of the bed of the river, which is called Whiting-shoal, and which causes a great obstruction to the navigation of the Thames. It is above a quarter of a mile in extent on the north side, between Limehouse-pier and the Isle of Dogs. Attempts have been made to reduce the shoal by means of steam power, but in consequence of the solidity of many parts of the shoal, which is composed of shells, stone, and earth, it will be ne cessary to apply gunpowder, which will be ignited by t he galvanic apparatus. For this purpose, a barge will be moored at a short distance from the spot were the explosions will take place, which will have the words "city magazine," in conspicuous letters, written upon it, and the word " gun powder," inscribed on a red flag. A notice has been issued that all vessels are to keep clear to the south side, to avoid any danger, and steamboats are ordered to ease their steam on passing Limehouse-reach. Many complaints have been made of the want of breadth of the river at this part, and at low water steam-vessels are constantly running aground. ANOTHER CHILD BURNT TO DEATH. —Tuesday , Mr. Gell held an inquest at St. George's Hospital, on the body of William Robert Till, aged three years, of 5, Sarem• gardens, Bayswater. It appeared that on Friday ng last out at the deceased was left alone in a room , its parents bei work, when, from some unknown cause, its clothes became Ignited, and before the fire could be extinguished the child was dreadfully burnt about the body. It was taken to the above hospital, and died during the same day from the effects of the burns. Verdict " Accidental death." MMIIMiII DEBATE ON THE INCOIIIIO DIRECT TAXATION . t O oleo.
