Parties walk directly from the pier on board the steamer, which starts on the as rival of each train. namely, the relative duties upon chicory and coffee. The subject is thus handled by the Public Ledger, a purely com mercial paper : " By the Customs' report we find that last year 31,730 cwt., or 3,553,7601 b., of foreign chicory was entered for home consumption, at a duty of 20s. per cwt. Now, every prac tical man knows that the quantity of home-made chicory, and that imported from the Channel Islands, exceeds that of foreign, and that nearly the whole is used to mix with coffee by a large portion of the retail dealers in the United King dom ; a quantity from 10 to 20 per cent. upon the deliveries of coffee (30,000,0001 b. per annum) is sold under the name and at the price of coffee to the public. " Now let us examine the loss which has accrued by the fraudulent admixture of this article.

The Provisional Committee of the Paris and Lyons Railway Corn pany beg to state, for the information of their Proprietors, and, in re ply to numerous inquiries, that tbc, only LINE OF RAILWAY to Lyons is that adopted by the Government, for the working of which this Company has been, for more than two years, in a position to tender. In the event of the Government determining to lease the Railway, on the condition of the Lessees executing the earth works, a eonsiderable increase in the capital will be speedily recittired. Further particulars respecting the distribution of the new shares will shortly be announced. --- - The accounts from Switzerland are not favourable. The Zurich Gazette, the Friend of the Constitution, published at Berne and several other journals of late dates represent that interesting country as in a state of great excitement. Two large popular meetings had been held at Lutzig and Cossonay, at which very strong language was used by the speakers. Accounts received at Parts state that the weather in the Provinces contined very severe. At Strasbourg on the 13th inst. Fahrenheit's thermometer had fallen to five degrees. • The price of bread in Paris for the second fortnight of the present month has been fixed at 29 centimes the kilogramme first quality, and 22 centimes the second quality. Thus, the best bread costs rather less than three sous the French pound. The King on the recommendation of the Minister of Public Instruction has, by ordonnance dated the 15th inst., ordered the establishment of a Faculty of Science, at Besan con, and fixed the, number of professorships at six —viz., theoretical mathematics, practical mathematics, natural phi losophy, chemistry, zoology and botany, geology and mine ralogy. A Ministerial order, dated the 16th, nominates the new professors. CLARA SEYTON'S MUSICAL and DRA MATIC ENTERTAINMENTS, at the MUSIC HALL, STOR,:-STREET. every THURSDAY EVENING.

"Second—The public has paid is. 6d. or 2s. per lb. upon that weight, for which it ought to have been charged only 6d., had it been sold under its proper name. " Third—The importers of coffee have lost bona fide cus tomers for about 5,000,0001 b. by the sellers delivering chicory to that extent to the consumers who paid for coffee. " The remedy for this crying evil is easily found for foreign, as an augmented duty would do it ; but it is more difficult to check the consumption of home made, and per haps entirely to— do so impossible . ; but one effectual check would be to replace chicory under the excise laws, among the articles from whence it never ought to have been taken, namely, those which are prohibited to be upon the premises of dealers, called • imitative articles;' and that could be at once done by rescinding the Treasury order under which retail dealers are now enabled to have chicory on their premises. "The Chancellor of the Exchequer last year stated, on the night of the Buci,get, that he would introduce some measure to remedy this evil, but the session passed over without it. We hope it will be done during the pew as the public, the revenue, and the trade will thereby be benefited." There has been a reaction in the Consol Market to-day ; the price for the Account has fallen to 99%, and for Money to 08 1 X. The premium on Exchequer. bills has been at from 535. to 555.

BRITANNIA LIFE ASSURANCE COM PANr. 1, Princes-street, Bank, London, empowered by spe cial Act of Parliament, 4 Vic. c. 9. • HALF CRP DIT RATES OF PREMIUM. Persons assured according to these rates are allowed credit (with out security) for half the amount of the first seven annual premiums, paying interest thereon at the rate of 5 per, cent. per annum, with the option of paying off the principal at any time, or having the amount deducted from the sum assured when the policy becomes a claim. Polici,s may thus he effected at lower rates than are generally re quired for the term of seven years only ; whilst the holders have the same security for the payment of their claims, whenever death may happen, as if they paid double the amount , of premium, which would be charged for assurances effected in the us ial way. Extract from the Half Credit Rates of Premium. Annual PremiuM - required for an Assurance of 1001. for the Whole The following is given in one of the Paris papers as a cor rect account of the facts relative to the late arrest of two Englishmen :—" Their names are Parker and Williams. They went on Friday to a money-changer to get French money for a Bank note for 100/. ; the suspicion of the latter was excited by the manner of the parties, and he sent his shopman to follow them. He saw them in succession call at three other changers, at each of which they exchanged a note for 1004, after which other exchange offices were visited for the purpose of again turning the French money into English gold. These circumstances strengthening the suspicions of the money-changer, he caused them to be taken before the Procureur du Roi. On searching their lodgings nothing however was found to criminate the parties, and they were set at liberty. The notes were en examination found to be genuine, and formed no part of those stolen in the late rob bery at Messrs. Rogers and Co.'s bank. The parties came to Paris from Boulogne, Parker merely accompanying the other as his interpreter." Some sensation was created in the Spanish capital by the receipt of letters from London, mentioning that General Espartero had sent a hostile message to the Spanish Ambas sador, because of some rudeness to Madame Espartero in his Excellency's chapel, who, perhaps, unconsciously bad taken possession of that part of the gallery usually assigned to the Ambassador. The Music is conducted by T. Wallis, Mus. Doc. Admission, Is. ; Schools, Half-price. THE MINARET PARASOL, from the ele gance and symmetry of its form, is by far the most beautiful yet introduced ; the price does not exceed that of ordinary parasbis, although a very graceful improvement has been effected in its con struction. The attention and patronage of the public is requested to this elegant novelty, which can be had at any of the respectable Drapers, and wholesale at all the wholesale dealers. OBSERVE—The silver runner is stamped with the word MINARET. The principal ♦ariation in the Foreign Funds has been in the Portuguese Converted Bonds, and they have fallen from 60 to 59%. Spanish have ruled from 27 3 %t0 28%; the Three per Cents. from 40% to 3 % ; the Belgian Four-and—a-Half per Cents. from 101 1 4 to 1,4 ; and the Chilian from 101 1 4 to %. The Share Market is, on the whole, firmer to-day. The amount of business that has been transacted is rather above the usual daily average.

I trust, Messrs. MOSES, you'll grant your attention To one or two things which I'm anxious to mention. You've lately had days So remarkably pleasant, That winter seem'd ended. at least for the present. You've fancied, no doubt, that my powers were lost-- Put no—you have still to be plagued by " Jack Frost." I still mean to freeze up the lakes and the rivers, And scatter my snow-flakes while ev'ry one shivers. I still mean to let my bright icicles freeze, While they drop from the house-tops, or hang on the trees. Yes, in spite of the fruitless attempts of Miss Spring, " Jack Frost" is resolved that he still will he king. And, therefore, I trust, Messrs. MOSES and SON, That you'll lend me your aid, as you've hitherto done. You must still keep your warm winter garments on hand, That people my cold blighting winds may withstand.

Yes, thousands before the mild spring is begun, Will purchase warm clothing of MOSES and SON. And now, Messrs.

The following case has excited so much interest, that the Guardians of the parish of Brent, Devon, have considered it their duty to sign their names to the accompanying important declaration : We, the undersigned, solemnly declare that before Thomas Rollin, one of our parishioners, commenced taking " Halse's• Scorbutic Drops" he was literally covered with large running wounds (some of them so large that a person might have laid his fist in them) ; that before he had finished the first bottle he noticed an improvement, and that by continuing them for some time, he got completely restored to health, after everything else had failed. He had tried various sorts of medicines befi re taking " Halse's Scorbutic Drops," and had prescriptions from the most celebrated physicians in this country, without deriving the least benefit. " lialse's Scorbutic Drops," have so completely cured him, and he is now enabled to attend to his labour as well as any man in our parish. From other cures alto made in this part, we strongly recommend " Halse's Scorbutic Drops" to the notice of the public. Signed by John Elliott, sen., Lord of the Manor, John Manning, William Pearce, Henry Goodman, Arthur Langworthy. June 21, 1843. Tne above-mentioned Thomas Holing was quite incapable of doing any kind of work whatever before he commenced taking those Drops. Some of his wounds were so large that it was most awful to look at them, and the itching and pain of the wounds generally were most dreadful ; indeed, the poor fellow could be. heard screeching by passers by, both day and night, for sleep was entirely out of the ques tion. He was reduced to mere skin and bone, and daily continued to get weaker, so that there was every probability of his speedy death. Bead the following extract from the " Nottingham Review" : IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD THE CAUSE OF SCURVY, DAD LEOS, &c. " It is really astonishing that so many persons should be content to be afflicted with scurvy wounds in the legs, &c., when it is a well ascertained fact that Halse's Scorbutic Drops' make the disease vanish like snow before the sun. No one is better enabled to judge of the value of a medicine as to its effects on the bulk of the people than a vendor of the article ; and as vendors of this medicine we can conscientiously recommend it to our friends, for there is scarcely a day passes but we hear some extraordinary accounts of it ; indeed, we have known parties who have tried other advertised medicines without the least success, and yet on resorting to thi s p re p ara ti on , the now justly-celebrated • Halse's Scorbutic Drops,' the disease has yielded as if by magic. We again say, Try Halse's georbutic Drops.'

THE BUDGET. TIMES. —Th e Budget is now before the nation, and has already been subjected to an examination more deliberate than that which was necessarily biassed so largely by the grandeur of the financial changes proposed, and the wonsierful command of facts, readinessi, and perspicuity displayed by the propounder. Thus far there is something singular and ominous in the result of this examination. There are two things most undeniable in the Budget : first, that it is such an one as the nation would have expected from the Whigs, supposing that unfortunate party ever to have been in a condition to give it ; secondly, that it is decidedly popular in its tendency; for, except in the matter of the income-tax, it emancipates commerce at the expense of property, and ostentatiously favours the poor. Accoreingly, it was received by the Ministerial side in comparative silence, by the Opposition with hearty cheers, and by the people generally with satisfaction. The walls of the metropolis are placarded with Sir Robert's " Free Trade Budg et. The economists are delighted. Yet, after all, that silence is worth more than those cheers and accla mations. The Whigs immediately set to work discover ing short-comings in the most liberal measure. In the multitude of grievances now red ressed, f r they u o Hobert, dis cover only that some ha ve been instead of reducing taxes to the whole extent of the to omitted. be existing surplus, leaving the augmented estimates for the ensuing year to be provided for by the probable improvement of the revenue, and leaving the void of the income-tax to be filled up from that source also , THE KEN TISH AND SOUTH , EASTERN RAILWAY.

The second—" To give protection to existing Cotnpatiieer by allowing them to complete the railway communications of particular districts, where the lines proposed by them are, in all substantial respects, sound In themselves, and not iirlea' rior to those proposed by any other parties." Before applying these general principles to the particular cases embraced by the report, reference is made to cases of competition between existing 'and new C,omptlbies, with respect to which the following propositions are laid demi Ist. " That an established Company, which hiss vgliNt l46 property and large available income, independent of thetOet scheme, can of course offer a guarantee for the falfilment nl all that it undertakes to accomplish, greatly superior to that of a new Company, however respectable." This 'proposition is supported by reference to various in..- stances, in which new Companies failed to accomplish the objects for which they were incorporated. 2dly. " That the traffic of a system oflines, connected with one another, can always be worked more economically =and conveniently under an uniform management than by iude pen dent Companies. 3dly. " That an established Company can always, if so disposed, offer guarantees and advantages for a greater ex tent of railway than the new Company—viz., for the existing as well as the projected lines. 4thly. " That whatever guarantees may be'thus offered by existing Companies, possess the double advantage, is com pared with similar offers from new Companies, of coming into immediate operation, and of being more certainly rendered effectual. An offer from a new Company to bind itself to charge fares considerably lower than those usual upon eYthet lines might readily be made in the hope of thereby securing their Bill, but the fulfilment of it would depend almost en• tirely upon the eventual success of the line, and its ability td perform its engagements." From these propositions the conclusion is dedtKed, "that preference should be given to the schemes of existing Ear !' way Companies for supplying their own districts, where illem schemes are as good, or better, than those of other pserleli where no special reasons exist to induce the expectatioQ of advantage from competition, and where the old Company voluntarily offers such guarantees as may be reasonably re quired to protect the public against the abuses of monopoly on such conditions as at once place the public in a better po sition than they could hope to obtain from competition.". If we apply the general principles and reasoning of the report to the proposed schemes for facilitating the commtmi cation between London and York, and between Lincolnshire and the north and south, and the manufacturing and mineral districts—viz., to the schemes of the existing Companies on the one hand, and to that of the London and York on 'the other, I am at a loss to conceive on what grounds the con fident assertion of the promoters of the London and totl4 line, that their undertaking is to be sanctioned by the report of the Board of Trade, can be based. If we keep steadily in view the greatest amount of publid advantage--we cannot disregard the cost of construction— the London and York line is to cost 6.500,0001., whilst I con tend that the objects which it seeks to attain may be as well, or better, attained by, or in connexion with, existing Cone' panies at a cost of 2,500,000/. ; surely if this be so, nr/ 610 can reasonably doubt which of the two schemes is most lily to benefit the public. Let any man refer to the map of the London and York line, published by Mr. Herapath, in his Railway Journal of the Ist inst. Starting from London, he will see on the west ern side a continuous line of railway from London to York; on the eastern side a line made, or nearly so, from London to , Cambridge. The estimated cost of continuing the line nortlt of Cambridge to York, so as to accommodate the local wants of Lincolnshire. and connect it with the north and south and the manufacturing districts, is as follows . From Cambridge to Lincoln £1,174,200 Proposed From Lincoln, by Doncaster to 730,000 From Doncaster to the York and North Midland 2 00 , 0 00 Stamfordßranches to Boston, Spahling, and 2 80, 000 had quietly laid on three or four millions of new taxes, he could not have been met with more strenuous defiance. The metropolitan delegates and their Par liamentary allies set up their backs at tie Premier, measure their obstinacy with his, and accumulate on his devoted head the sins of all the tax-gatherers for the last thirty years, merely because, while he utterly sweeps away five important branches of re venue, and immensely reduces a sixth, a seventh also is not added to the list. After all, the flattery of foes is not worth the patience of a friend. We entirely agree with the gentlemen we have just referred to, and whose speeches we print in another column, that the window duties are most inconvenient, most unsalutary, most un equal, most unphilosophical. They spoil the inward com fort and outward appearance of our houses. 'I heir exces sive and stupid rigour is a constant provocation to the man of taste and the thrifty householder. They mar the process of building as much as the duty on glass does, or rather did, the process of that manufacture. But, in our humble opinion, they who insist so valiantly en an immediate abolition of the duty, are hound to provide for the deficit in as distinct and categorical a form as the Premier has provided for his six reductions and six deficits. Let them bear in mind the various necessities of the case; that the only portions of our expenditure which are not absolutely and irreversibly fixed do not amount to 13,000,000/. ; that under existing circumstances, as Sir C. Napier himself will acknowledge, it is impossible ade quately to reduce those portions, or go on safely and re spectably, without some increase ; that the window duties produce about 1,700,0001., and they will see that something else is necessary than simply voting the tax a bore. At least, the ,Minister whose unfortunate responsibility it is to make, as well as to unmake, will proceed with a little more caution. The comparison of the window duties with the duty on glass is simple enough. Sir Robert enumerated four subjects of reduction, not as being all that there were, but as being particularly applicable at the present juncture, when there is an obvious necessity to choose such reductions as shall themselves heal the wounds they make in the revenue. There were duties on articles of general consumption —on the raw materials of manufacture those which require expensive establishments, and those which restrict demand, and consequently trade. By these four tests at least the duty ran glass has better claims than its competitor. It affects more than 3,500,000 houses, instead of only about 450,000, besides that windows are only one branch of the glass manufac ture. Notwithstanding what was said on Isaturday at the meeting referred to, the window duties are chiefly raised from the wealthier classes ; more than four-fifths of the whole being contributed by houses with more than 12 windows. They require no distinct establish ment for their collection ; and, on the other hand, it is impossible to calculate the increase of demand which a remission of the duty on glass must originate. The Premier mentioned watch-springs, pipes, tiles, and chimney ornaments ; he might have added conserva tories, now only within the reach of the wealthy. They talk even of glass bells for churches. There are of course important grounds of reduction besides the above four. But just now those four have the pre-eminence. Moreover the window duties are a mode, a very clumsy mode perhaps, of taxing houses. They are a property-tax. Evidently the day is approaching, as one of the speakers at the meet ing we have referred to intimated, when the whole question of property will be reconsidered with a view £2,404,200 to a fairer, less vexatious, and more permanent duty than what the nation now groans under. So, while Your readers will perceive that this extension of existing there can be no possible harm in demonstrating from lines will connect London with York by the eastern route, whilst it will at the same time amply accommodate the local facts the injurious character of the window duties, wants of Lincolnshire and connect that county with Prheflield we must recommend patience for a year or two and Wakefield ; in short, that it will do ail at a total cost longer. But, having given this genera l appro b at i on of within 2,50 0,0001., which the London and York line, with ito the Minister's proposed remission of taxation, and in loop, aims to do at a cost of 6,500,0001. truth of the Budget generally, we cannot let the tax In my letters to you of the 27th January and 3d February upon property and income pass without saying a few last I entered into various details to prove, t is h t a a t ne vi e •he t T t e ic t e r e ea n words upon our previous opposition to the tax affect- taerntdn a a n s d a th m e en or s thor o sho a r s teningthe d connecting Lincolnshire . with ing the latter ; for we still maintain that a tax upon the ports of London, Ipsw r ich, and Harwich, or with Ova income—that is, upon industry—to say nothing manufacturing of its inquisitorial character, is .unjust and inju- scheme was uncalled for and indefensthle.
