THIRD EDITION OF « THE SUN." P's have received many complaints from Subscribers who are frequently disappointed in not receiving the Third Edition. The fault rests en tirely with the News-agent who serves them, and who thereby not only injures the paper, but does injustice to his customer.

We are glad to perceive that the objectionable na ture of the Board of Trade Railways Committee is not likely to be withdrawn from the notice of the Legislature. In the course of a somewhat animated conversation which passed between the Earl of DAL nousii and Lord BROUGHAM, the latter Peer ex pressed an opinion, on Thuraday night last, confirm ing, in express terms, that which our readers may remember we have, in many former articles, endea voured to enforce on their most serious consideration. The Noble and Learned Lord said that " a judica ture, like that which was exercised by the Board of Trade over railway schemes, was a judicature abhorrent to the constitution and odious to the whole country:' The transactions out of which the con versation arose amply justified these misgivings as to the working of the very anomalous body in question. In reference to the several lines projected between London and York, which had been under the consi deration of, and reported upon by, the Railway Corn n:issioners, Lord BROUGHAM wished to know " whether the Noble head of the Board could tell him on %%hat day, and at what hour of that day (for this was a most important element in the case) their deci sion on the lines he spoke of was come to? It was well known at twelve o'clock on Tuesday noon that the London and York' had been decided against, and the consequence was that the shares of the other two projects f.,r such railway had risen two and three per cent. premium long before the Gazette announcing the decision was published." _ This was a question in volving what the Noble and Learned Lord declared to be " a fact, communicated to him by a very important merchant and broker." We ourselves alluded, not long since, to a similar statement having been broadly made by Mr. WAKLET, in the House of Commons, and having received no contradiction—distinctly as that was challenged—from her MAJESTY'S Ministers at the time. It can admit of no doubt that the subject of Lord BROUGHAM'S question on Thursday last directly involved the character of the Board of Trade Railways CommL tee. If the charge be true, they cannot shelter themselves from the imputation of a gross breach of duty to those who appointed them (and who we still take leave to contend, paren thetically, had no title or power to make such an ap pointment), except at the expense of their character for common management and ordinary official dis cretion. If the Board can vindicate itself from having, in the conduct of its affairs, manifested a lack of common business-like management and official discretion ; this it can do only by throwing overboard all pretensions to a strict, impartial, and un compromising discharge of its very responsible duty. A main ingredient of the instructions upon which it acted was, that its deliberations should be with closed doors, and its decisions first promulgated in the London Gazette. If the Earl of DALHOUSIE and his brother Commissioners are prepared to show that no premature communication of the Board's decision in this case, prior to the notice in the Gazette, was made by any parties cognisant of the Board's secret deliberations ; they, the Noble Earl and his Col leagues, will only have to disprove the averment of Lord BROUGHAM, that the intelligence which ought not to have been known beyond the Board table, till the coming out of the Gazette on Tuesday even ing, was already actually and largely operated upon on the Stock Exchange by twelve on Tuesday noon. Now, was tt is assertion disproved by Lord DAL HOUSIE ? Ills Lordship replied to Lord BROUGHAM thus—" The fact was, that the precise time at which the decision was made was in the afternoon. The Board on that day was held in the afternoon ; and, therefore, it was utterly impossible that the rise in the shares could have taken place with the Board of Trade." This is really one of the most remarkable non se quiturs that ever illustrated Parliamentary logic. When Doctor JouNsoN, in one of his stoutest fits of critical scepticism, ridiculed the notion, not only of the genuineness of the Ossianic Poems, but hinted his conviction that the whole story which MACPHERSON had got up of their discovery, was an imposture, a zea lous Highlander undertook to satisfy the scrupulous lexicographer of the veritable antiquity of the poetry awl the integrity of its translator and editor, by triumphantly offering to produce to the learned author of the " Rambler," the eery box in which the poems were found. Just so much relation to the real issue between the public and the Board of Trade has Lord DALHOUSIE'S attempted refutation of the charge against the Board of Trade Railways Committee. If there were no possibility of Commissioners indivi dually communicating one to another, prior to the meeting of the Board, what was the opinion or re port upon a given line, which he should be dispos — o concur in—if there were no possibility that others, more or less in the confidence of such Com Missioners, should communicate to parties out of doors, for their ov . vn nurposes, the ascertained resolutions the Com missioners would come to in any such given case, and which resolution, they . would thus have had the means of certainly arriving at — then there might have been some force or reason in Lord DALHOUSIE'S explanation, and some ground for the inference he so complacently founds upon it. But since there were these, and, by possibility, many other such mean, through which this official intelli gence might clandestinely transpire, the Noble Earl's intended diFproof of the charge announced by Lord BROUGHAM amounts to an utter failure. It is a shot which, so far from hitting its intended object, is ab solutely fired in another direction. It is a clumsy plea of an alibi which leaves the case it wa3 meant to support ten times more damaged than it would have been had no such plea been offered. We have never been satisfied with the explanation in Mr. O'BRIEN'S case, in all its bearings. But if that could scarcely run on all fours, this of Lord DALHOUSIE'S is absolutely lame and crippled. We have no doubt that Lord BROUGHAM will soon find an ample case for the mo tion he pledges himself to bring forward, at an early day, for the revision and extensive modification of the present constitution and powers of the Board of Trade Railways Commission. The Property and Income-tax Renewal Bill has passed the House of Commons. All that could have been hypothetically urged against it on the argument derived from its inequality, its anticipation in peace of the resources which should have been preserved inviolate for the exigencies of war, the tendency of its operation to repress exertion or industry both in material and intellectual enterprises or occupations ;—all this has been conceded by its Ministerial supporters—and the House of Commons have passed the measure without even dividing on the question of the passing. What ever objections could be sustained to the vexation and inquisitorial nature of the machinery, by which alone it has hitherto been possible to assess or to collect it ; to the lowness of the point or extremity at which the amount of income liable to pay this impost shall commence; to the hardship of that liabilityon the recipient of 150/. per annum, from which the recipient of 149/. 19s. lld., or any lesser sum per annum, is wholly exempt ; to the gross injus tice of mulcting, in the same proportion, the income al ready below the demands of the most modest, or even needy household, and the incomes of many superfluous thousands ;—all these have been taken, discussed, and overruled. Yet the Bill has passed the House of Com mons. The Premier, when he first brought the scheme forward three years ago, admitted that any tax was an evil. It has been admitted since, by his own partisans and colleagues, that this tax has about it all that evil which belongs to a severe impost, without even taking into account these aggravations of them to which we have just referred. And yet it has been adopted by the Commons after defeating, in the most signal manner, every proposition for its amendment and modification, however reasonable or equitable it might be. But the last debate elicited certain other acknowledgments of inherent defects and vices in the working of this tax which make it almost incredible that even on Wednesday night, at the eleventh hour, as Sir ROBERT PEEL or Mr. GOULBURN would say—on the penultimate proposition of the third reading—or even the final question " that the Bill do pass"—some vigorous stand should not have been made on the part of some independent Members for the institution of searching inquiry into the matters which had then been brought under their notice. What were these ? There was, first, the strongly propounded hypothesis of Sir ROBERT INGLIS—the hal mate and confidential friend, supporter, ally, of the Premier especially, and of his Government generally— " that the income-tax was meant to be perpetual." This hypothesis was neither denied, nor objected to, by the Government or by the Premier. If ever " silence gives consent," the inference is irresistible under such circum stances as these. Is it the desire and meaning of the House of Commons that this tax shall be perpetual ? How do they propose to answer for such consent to the electoral constituency whenever they shall be sent back to give an account of their stewardship? In the second place, Mr. WAHLEY brought forward the case of Mr. FIELDEN, the late benevolent Member for Oldham, whose name is associated with a ll recollections that are honourable to the integrity of the head of a vast manufacturing concern, and the extensive charity of a capitalist whom prosperity has never made oblivious of the humbler beginnings from whence it has raised him. It may be remembered thet three years ago the Messrs. FIELDEN protested against the assessment which had be en made upon them in respect of income from the profits of their establishment. They demurred to the assessment on the very reasonable ground that, upon an average of the three years on which the assessment was to be taken, their works had been carried on at a loss, instead of any profit. After a fruitless correspondence, the pro test was overruled, and their property was disirained upon for the of iginal assessment. Since this, the Local Commissioners have thought proper to assess the profits of their concern at 24,000/. per annum—an assessment which, it may be imagined, they at once disputed. The Local Commissioners, finding that Messrs. FIELDEN in tended to resort to the means of legal appeal against their assessment, requested Mr. Joust FIELDEN to allow the matter to stand over till after the ensuing Easter quarter. lie did so ; and in the meantime they have actually claimed, and propose to enforce the assessment on profits of 24,000 i. a year, in the face of the same par ties' declaration to a similar effect as that made by them , in the first instance. Mr. WARLEY might well severely animadvert on this proceeding. It was distinguished alike for its bad faith, its insolence, and its inquisitorial oppressiveness. The Chancellor of the Exchequer's answer was—like the answers of Sir JAMES GRAHAM and Sr ROBERT PEEL himself, on all questions addressed to them in respect of the gross mis conduct of Government functionaries of any kind:—" the Chancellor of the Exchequer knew nothing about the case. It was the first time he had heard of it." Doubt less. So trivial a matter as the assessment of profits at 24,0001. a year, where the parties were prepared to show they had worked rather to a loss than any profit at all, had LO pretensions of gravity sufficient to disturb the epicurean repose of the gods of Dawning-street Be this as it may, Mr. GOULBURN'S auiswe•r was reedy and conciliatory to a singular gree. •' If the Local Commissioners were in error, it was to be re gretted that Mr. FIELLEN had not personally waited on the Chief Commissioners under the Act in London, w ho would have given hies every assistance in getting it rec tified." A I retry dilated expression this " error, " if' Mr. FIELDEN'S complaint be well grounded, for such an outrageous and fraudulent proceeding as the assessment in such case amounts to on the part of the Local Com missioners. The remedy, too, so simple. Mr. FIELDEN we uld have only to come up from his "dear, native vale of Todmorden," as we have heard him call it—from one extremity of Lancashire to the capital, in Middlesex—to obtain that justice which it has been sometimes con tended, "is virtually to be had at every man's door." Yet even this case does not so powerfully illustrate the intolerable and unconstitutional operation of such a sys tem of taxation as the very significant fact distinctly stated by Mr. BRIGHT, that the most shameful cases of arbitrary and excessive assessment occurred in the coun try, owing to the Income-tax Commissioners, in many instances the same individuals as the land-tax or other Commissioners of the district, who, from that position, often exercised their power to annoy and over charge in the most unscrupulous Manner their rivals in trade or their opponents in politics. Yet still this Bill has passed—we might have almost said, unanimously— the House of Commons. Is there any hope of getting its odious injustice modified, at least, elsewhere ? The accounts from Zurich are to the 10th instant. when the Diet was still sitting. The note of M. GUIZOT had caused much excitement among the Liberal Members, who regard it as put forth in aid of the Jesuits rather than for the purpose of calming the ex citement. A correspondent, who writes from Zurich, on the 9th, gives the following remarks made by some of the speakers:— " M. Kera, the deputy for Thurgau, was the first who alluded to the subject. He said that the communication was, to say the least of it, strange, considering that the French Ministry must have beenperfectly aware that the instructions given to the deputies relative to the corps francs, are ahnost unanimous in favour of the suppression of th at force. M. Drouey, the deputy for the canton of Vaud, went into a lengthened examination of the dispatch, which he considered as a direct intervention on the part of the French Government in the internal affairs of the Confederation, which ought to rouse the feelings of the country. M. Neuhaus, the Deputy for Berne, also considered the dispatch as an insult to the Swiss nation, and an unwarrantabla interference on the part of a foreign Government. He demanded of M. Mounson, the President, what answer he had made to the note. The l'resident replied, that no one was more anxious than he was to repel anything that could militate against the liberty and independence of the nation; but he would not allow his anxiety to respect the susceptibility of his countrymen to go so far as to compromise their relation with foreign Powers who were friends and allies of Switzerland, by misconstr u i n g the intentions of those Powers in lending their advice. The Deputy for Bale accused the Jesuit party of having begged the dispatch from the French Government as a means of de feating their adversaries. This accusation was strongly re pelled by the Jesuit party, and especially the deputy for Neufchatel, who said that the position of those with whom he acted was a painful one, because, though disapproving of the conduct of their adversaries, they could not avoid being in some degree involved in the severe censures which that con duct had drawn upon the whole Confederation. The Diet then took up the question of the corps francs, and after a long discussion the subject was referred to the same Committee as has &ready been appointed to consider the question of the Jesuits." The Cazate .cire Bas!e draws the following comparison between Lord ABERDEEN'S note and M. GUIZOT'S " Whilst the former breathes sentiments of kindly feeling towards the Confederation, although England is less inte rested in Swiss affairs than France, the note from M. Guizot THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING, MA RCH 17, 1A45. is, on the contrary, in a decided tone, like a newspaper ar ticle, and not like a diplomatic instrument. It contains lessons which are orders, notices which are threats, and is thus offensive. It must, however, be admitted, that it speaks the truth in respect to the free corps. It is a great humilia tion to Switzerland to be told, that a country situate in the centre of European civilisation is not to be made the instru ment of barbarian anarchy. As the disturbances of the free corps may be said to have been over, this note was no longer necessary." A Bill has been brought into the French Chamber of Deputies to prevent electors froth voting in arrondisse ments where they do not pay at least 50f. of direct taxes. The law at present allows electors paying 200 f. to choose the college in which they are to exercise their right of voting, and the opponents of the measure consider this perfectly in accordance with the object for which a De puty is returned to the Chamber. The Conservatives, on the other hand, for the Bill is brought in by them, contend that it is not just to allow voters the privilege of turning the scale of victory in a college with which they have not the slightest connexion ; and that some amount of taxes ought to be required to prevent such an abuse. The general discussion closed on Wednesday, but none of the Ministers had spoken on the motion. At the commencement of the sitting, the Minister of Public Works presented a Bill for a vote. of 80,000,000 f. (3,200,0001) for improving river navigation, and esp: - cially the Yonne, Seine, Sarthe, and Mayenne. It is proposed to make a canal along the Marne betweenJoin ville and Vitry, for the purpose of linking the ironworks of the Upper Marne to the great navigable line of the Marne, to the Rhine, and the Paris market. The plan also contains a proposition for another canal, that of the navigation of the Upper Garonne, and for establishing (.n the height of Lanneinezan, from which there are nume rous streams, a cluster of reservoirs for the purpose of irrigating the country. In the Chamber of Peers the estimates were under consideration, when it appeared that in a previous year, 1,500,000 f. had been voted for improving and fortifying the harbour of Algiers. One of the Members objected to the amount, but Baron CHARLES Duels/ supported the vote, and regr, tted that it should be limited to such a small sum. Admiral MACKAU, after supporting the grant, said, the works at Algiers were now in such a state that the place could re sist with advantage any attack on the sea side. The leading articles in the journals relate chiefly to the note of M. GUIZOT addressed to the Swiss Diet. The Opposition papers denounce it vehemently, and con trest it unfavourably with that of Lord ABERDEEN, which they praise for its moderation. In reference to this sub ject the Journal des Debats says : " This is the note, equally discreet and firm, which the journal of M. Thiers, carried away no doubt by its recollec tions of the last campaign in the East, calls a hatti sheriff, a risir's ordonnance. While it is the vein of figurative lan guage, the Constitutionnel permits itself to go so far as to say that M. Guizot beats the Swiss as a Paella would treat troops of infidels, or a Tartar a tributary race of people. This criticism on the note of the French Government would not have been complete, had not the Constitutionnel added its eulogy upon the note of the British Government, and exalted the moderation, reserve, and politeness of Lord Aber been, in order to thrown out with greater prominence the harshness and arrogance of M. Guizot. Leaving to the Constitutionnel the full enjoyment of its oriental style, we shall content ourselves with simply restoring to facts that true character which has been so strongly denaturalised by it. We shall begin with affirming that Lord Aberdeen, as far as regards the effects on the general policy of Europe that would be the result of any change in the constitution of Switzerland, speaks in a manner fully as significative as M. Guizot and if the English Minister does not express himself in equally explicit terms en the subject of the free corps, it is from the simple reason that this question touches France much more closely than it does England. In the affairs of Switzerland, Franco has interest in common with the other great Powers—those which may disturb the general balance of power in Europe; but she has, moreover, parti cular interests of her own, resulting necessarily from her geographical position." The Duke DE BROGLIE, it appears, has p.,stponed departure for London to ho:d a conference with Dr. LUSHINGTON relative to the right of search. On this subject the Const:tutionnel says :—" Two systems are spoken of for the arrangement of this difficult question —one would consist in the establishment of mixed crui sers, placed at the entrance of rivers, and in the or di nary rendezvous of slave vessels, and the reciprocal right of search between English and French ships would be suspended ; the other would consist in two means of putting down the slave trade ; first, the destruction of the slave establishments founded on some points of the coast of Africa ; secondly, a declaration of war against all the negro chiefs on the coast who carry on the slay:- trade." This journal o'jects to both systems; but there is nothing to show that either will form the basis of the approaching conference. The following are misci-lla neous extracts from the papers : The Guzate des Tribunaur says : "'We understand that warrants were issued on Tuesday against several of the persons who took part m the meeting in which M. Dujarrier, the responsible editor of the Presse, was killed. We take this opportunity of declaring that it was by an error we designated MM Granier de Cassagnac and Solar as seconds of one of the parties. These two gen tlemen had nothing to do with this deplorable affair." Two new articles have just been added to the postal treaty between France and Great Britain. They have fur object—l. To place the post-office of Boulogne in direct correspondence with the post-office at Folkestone, by means of the private steamers between the two ports. 2. To regulate the transit through France of the letters, paid or unpaid, from Great Britain and her colonies and pos,efsions for the kingdom of Greece. The Grand Council of the Vaud, in its sitting of the 7th inst., appointed a Committee of 15 members to draw up a new constitution. THE BOURSE---THURSDAY, MARCH 13. First filitheat Lowest Last Price.

Inc Archbishop of Paris has published a pastoral letter, announcing that the following relics will be exposed in the church of Notre Dame on Monday, TuesNlay, Wednesday, and Friday next, being Passion Week, viz. :—A considerable piece of the true cross ; the crown of thorns; and one of the nails of the cross. These relics, which belonged to the Sainte Chapelle, were given, at the period of the Concordat, by the Emperor Napoleon to Cardinal de &Boy, Archbishop of Paris, to be preserved in the treasury of the metropolitan church.

A letter from Zurich, of - the 9th, says—" The Valais has followed the example of Lucerne, in calling from Naples ,everal Swiss officers. The greatest a 6 itation reigns in that canton.

Guizot has produced a great sensation here." We learn by a letter from Ceuta, of the 22d ult., that the winter was very severe at that place.

The magistrate, under the circum stances, refused to ictsrfere.

The quintette in the second act of Ernani was rap turously encored, as was the terzetto at the conclusion of the opera. Her Maje=ty, who arrived at the commence ment of the second act of the opera, remained until nearly the conclusion of the ballet. The house was crowded by a fashionable audience from the very corn meocernent of the performances. Among those present were her Majesty and Prince Albert, attended by Vis countess Canning. the Hon. Miss Stanley, Hun. Miss Hamilton, the Earl of Hardwicke, Sir E. water, the Hon. Colond Grey, and Colonel Drummond ; the Duchess of Cambridce, the Duke and Duchess of Meck lenhurgh Streli , z. accompanied by Count Rielmansegge and Baron Dedel, and attended by Baron Knesebeyk ; the Grand Duch-ss Stephanie of Baden and party ; the Queen Dowager's box ..as occupied by Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar and Lord and Lady %Vhar'icliffe ; the Duke of Montrose, the J)uchea of Hamilton, Baron B:roness Brunnow, Count Esterhlay. the Varqui, of the Kirls of L , lnsdlle, Cardigan, Munstt-r, Falmouth ; the Courcess of Harrington ; Lords Ayl mer. Foley, Somerton, CaAtalupe. Ernst Bruce, Nugent, Adolphus Fitzclarence, Rinelagh ; Ladies Shawe Stewart, Rendlesham. Augusta Wen worth, Meux, Smythe, Caroline Maxse ; Sirs H. Willoughby, H. Meux, H. Webb, R. Vivian. &-. PRINCESS'S THE ITRE. Banim's tragedy of Damon and Pythias was produced here on Friday, with Mr. Edwin Forrest as Damen. Mr. Forrest has now got tolerably used to his audience, and he is consequently enabled to do his certainly great powers more ample justice; he has also had the tact to perceive what were those peculiarities of intonation and gesture which marred his earlier efforts, and to get rid of them completely. To have been enabled. in such a short •pace of time, entirely to cure himself of such defects proves, that Mr. Forrest is net ~nly a man of intellect and taste but of great self-command. He possesses all the qualifications which go to the making up of a first-rate actor, and he has a bright career bef ►re him. His Damon is a fine and well sustained piece of acting throughout. His parting with his wife was exquisitely pathetic, and the scene at the place of execution. where he rushes on, looking for his friend, and eventually sinks from exhaustion, when the load is removed from his mind, and he finds he is not too late to save him, was finely conceived and magnificently developed. The scene in the Senate-house enabled Mr. Forrest to give us a beautiful spe cimen of his declamatory powers. Since the days of Charles Young we have had no such declaimer ota the stage. He was excellently supported by Mrs. Stirling as Calanthe. and by Mr. Graham a= Pythias, and was called for at the fall of the curtain. The home was crowded to exce.s, and the legiti mate drama, thanks to the exertions of Miss Cushman and Forrest, bids fair to be as successful here as operas have hitherto been. LITERATURE. A FEW OBSERVATIONS on, and a few Facts illust ati..e of. the • Evils aft .ndino the System (f DETAINING SINGLE LUNATICS in PRI VATE D WEL LI • GS, without Responsible Su- pervision. Dr. Barry, of Richmond, the author of this pamphlet, taker, as his text, the t;)Howing passage fres!' the speech delivered by Sir James Graham, in the Howe of Commons, on the 234 of July, last : "Notwithstanding the detention of single lunatics by their friends in private dwellings is open to abuse, yet it does not appear that such prevails." --Sir .James Graham's Speech in the House of commons, July 23. 1844. And he asserts that the system is not only open to abuse, but that abuses of the most horrible cha racter do actually prevail. Public asylums, and pri vate madhouses—that is, houses containing a plurality of insane patients, are under the surveillance of the commissioners of lunacy, but single lunatics, or alleged lunatics, detained in private dwellings, are under no surveillance whatever, and there is but too much reason to fear, that not only are the ac tually insane under such circumstances wilfully treated in a manner calculated to aggravate, and not to cure their malady, but that many sane persons are subjected to a system of slow torture, sufficient to drive them mad. According to Dr. Barry's account, atrocities the most inhuman, and immoralities the most atrocious, are perpetrated in these private dwellings for single lunatics. The doctor is evi dently an enthasiast, and may possibly have been in some instances misled into the making of exag gerated statemetes, but the very fad that under the exizting system the perpetration of the atrocities which he has denounced is possible, ought to 1, ad to its immediate reform; and if he can substantiate one-half of what he alleges, Parliament will incur a heavy responsibility if it suffers the present session to end, without passing some legislative enactment for the remedy of so crying an evil. 7 HE FRENCH LANGUAGE ACQUIRED IN FOUR MONTHS; an Entirely Original System qf Teaching the Language. By M. MARIOT DE BE AUVOISIIV. M. Mariot de Beauvoisin is scarcely correct in calling his an entirely original system of teaching language. It is an improvement upon the system of Hamilton, as the system of Hamilton is an improve ment upon that of Locke; but to John Locke is due the credit of having suggested the system of teaching languages by means of literal translations ; and to Jihn Clarke, author of " The Introduction to the Making of Latin," that of having practically carried it out. Clarke laboured for years in the cause of teaching by means of literal translation ; and although the labourer himself is forgotten, his labours are now producing their fruit. John Clarke lived a century too soon. With regard to the work now before us , we have already stated that it is an improvement ,upon the system of Hamilton. There is an inter linear translation, but the translation is printed separately on a transparent leaf, through the interstices between the lines of which the French is seen when the ale f is ti1.,1 11 r, when the leaf is turned over the rre'el; A appears.

It is a carryiegi Hainiltonian principle in a perfectly Ovt.clet' and consists in iovanably prefixing the lir i begit noun. This is the only method in which to , of French nouns can be learned with:l%4S accuracy, for, as M. de Beauvoisin jos% dee, There is no rule by which a f o reigne„r e t,joe. whether a substantive is masculine or len' At Or THE ABBOTSFORD EDllo(yi, WAVERLY NOVELS.
