There was a Commission at Four o'clock, and the Royal Assent was given to various Bills. The House of Lords re-assembled at Five o'clock. The Duke of WELLINGTON promised the Marquis of LONDONDERRY that the I-ports of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the best means for preventing explosions, in mines should be laid before Parliament. A conversation then took place an the subject cf Irish au.l Scotch Bal,king, but it led to no result. The report ou the Property -tax Bill was brought up, anal the 4th of April fixed for th e thi r d rea di ng. The report on the Companies Clauses Bill was brought up. The Comm'Atee on Scotch Schoolmasters was ap pointed, and the House adjourned to the 3d of April. The House of Commons met at Four. On the tnobion of Mr. STRUTT, it was ordered—" That in the ease of every petition for a private Bill, on which the Committee on Petitions shall not have reported previously to the adjournment of the House for the Raster recess, the time for reading such private Bill the first time he extended till Friday, the llth day of April next." After the transaction of private business, Lord DUNCAN rose to bring forward the motion of which he had given notice, on the subject of the window. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 19 1845 not by the people, but by the men in power, corrupt alcaldes, political chiefs, military officers, arid smugglers. ESPARTER.O had too much honesty to bribe and inti midate; and on that account he failed. NARVAEZ was less scrupulous—he left nothing untried, dared every outrage, and succeeded in moulding a Cortes to his will. The Bill was introduced on the 11 th by the Minister of the Interior. The country is to be divided into 306 districts, each to return a Member The qualification for electors is to be reduced to 400 reels of rent, and of Deputies to 12,000 reals of rent (1201.). No changes are to be made in the electoral lists, or in the districts. Precautions are to be taken against frauds at elections. Captains-general of pro vinces, the Commanders-in-Chief of the navy, the Procureurs-general of the tribunals, political chiefs, and ' intendents of the national debt, are to be excluded from the Chamber. It is stated in one of the Madrid papers, that the public prosecutor had demanded that capital punishment should be inflicted on seven officers implicated in the conspiracy at Vittoria. The provincial deputation, the municipality, and the clergy, were pre paring a petition to the QUEEN to spare the lives of these seven officers. the longest on record. The market gardeners, who have nothing to bring to market, and absolutely nothing to do, say that all vegetable productions will be fully a month later than usual. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS DAY.) Her Majesty awl Prince Albert, accompanied by the royal infants, and attended by the royal suite, left town shortly before three o'clock this afternoon, for Windsor Castle, to spend the Easter recess. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock. RAILWAY CLAUSES CONSOLIDATION BILL. On the question being put for the third reading of this Bill, Sir R. H. INGLIS took the last opportunity of call ing the attention of the House to a subject connected with railways of great importance. He alluded to the practice of large railway companies taking great bodies of people from places where they had been accus tomed to receive ample religious and moral instruction, and conveying them for the purposes of the railway to some portion of the line where no provision whatever was made for their future spiritual werfare. He im plored all those who were connected with railway com panies to take this subject into their most solemn and serious consideration. It was a duty incumbent upon them not to form new towns without giving those persons whom they collected in them such means of education for their children, and religious instruction for themselves ; as , they received in the county from which they came. Ile would take the same opportunity of expressing an honest hope that some measures would be adopted for preventing railway companies from carrying large bodies of people to places where they were likely to create a breach of the peace. It had been stated in that House, that in a late instance a special train was employed by a railway com pany to convey a large body of people, in order to en able them to commit a breach of the peace. He would not have mentioned the circumstance, were it not for the purpose of giving it a public contradiction. He would not mention the railway company of whom this slander had been circulated, but he could assure the House that he had their own authority for declaring that the slander was absolutely without foundation in truth. Mr. HAWES said that he always listened with very great respect to whatever fell from the Right Hon. Baronet (Sir R. Inglis), and he, on the present occasion, was quite aware of the great importance of the matt 1r which he had brought before the House; but he thought that it would be better to leave the provision of the spii itual wants of the people assembled through their instrumen tality to the spontaneous liberality of the company. Ile (Mr. Hawes) could bear testimony to the great liberality with which the railway companies had acted; and he thought, from the evidence which they had given of a disposition to provide for the spiritual necessities of those dependent upon them, that the object of the Hon. Baronet would be better served by the mode he sug gested than by any compulsory regulation. He might give an instance in the conduct of the Great Westt rn Railway, who, at one of their stations, Swindon, had not only erected a church, and provided for its ministration, but had also endowed a school for instructing the children who were brought together. The whole arrangement, indeed, was a model which might well be imitated by every railway company in England. Oa the Birmingham line, also, there was an establishment of a similar character, at Wolver ton. And not only had the companies been careful to make this provision for the spiritual wants of the people when their works were finished ; but, whenever there was a necessity for bringing a number of people together for the execution of works requiring any con siderable time for their completion, they had made a temporary provision for the spiritual necessities of their dependents and those who were brought together through their means. He thought, therefore, that the better plan would be to leave the provision which the Hon. Baronet so earnestly desired to the spontaneous liberality of the companies, rather than introduce any compulsory clauses ' into the Bill. _ _ _ Summonses were issued last evening by Sir James Graham. to the members 9f the Cabinet, to attend a Cabinet Council, at the Foreign-office, Downing-street. THIS DAY'S NEWS. EAST INDIA HOUSE.-THIS DAY. A Special Court of the Proprietors was held at the East India House on general business. The chair was taken by Captain Sheppard, and the mi nutes of the last Court were read. TIIJ EX RAJA OF SATTARA. Mr. THOMPSON then resumed the discussion, and was left speaking.—The facts are already fully known. CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The Lord Chancellor did not sit to-day in Lincoln's Inn Hall. his Lordship will not sit again till the 7th of next month, when it is understood he will continue his sitting till the 15th, the first day of Easter te►m.

ROLLS COUR'F.-(THIS DAY.) The Master of the Rolls took petitions and causes to-day. his Lordship will sit to-morrow to hear a part-heard motion, after which the Court will adjourn to the 7th of neat month. The Paris papers contain accounts of the grand ban quet given to Marshal BUCEAUD, on Sunday, in the Salle de Bourse. About four hundred persons sat down to dinner. M. GOWN was in the chair, and among those present were, the Duke of NEMOURS, the Prince DE JoINVILLE, and their two younger brothers, the Dukes of AUMALE and MONTPENSIER. The first toast was " the KING," and the next the " Royal Princes," who had honoured them with their company. The Duke of NEatonas returned thanks. The dinner altogether was conducted in the English style—speeches were made, toast followed toast, and the bill of fare rivalled that of the Lord Mayor's feast on the 9th of November. One of the papers states that upwards of 400 waiters were employed. Marshal RUGEAUD, in returning thanks for the high honour conferred on him by the commercial men of Paris, made some remarks on the definitive system to be adopted in carrying on the war, and in colonising the country. He pointed out the immense advantages which will be insured to the trade of France by the security of her African possessions ; and, after reminding the com pany that the commercial movement between France and Algeria last year amounted to eighty millions of francs, he declared his conviction that in ten or twelve years Algeria will be able to do without assistance from the mother-country. At the conclusion, he an nouncel that he would set out for Algiers in two days. We regret to find that the report respecting a dreadful explosion at that place is confirmed in these papers. It is said that upwards of 200 per sons had lost their lives by the accident, the particulars of which are given below. In the Chamber of Deputies on Monday the Minister of Public Works presented a Bill for putting up to public tender contracts for the railroad from Paris to Lyons, and from Lyons to Avig non. The motion of M. DUVERGIER D'HAURANNE, for abolishing vote by ballot in the Chamber, was under discussion. The Journal des Debats states that a treaty of amity, commerce and navigation, was signed on the 17th of November, at Zanzibar, be tween France and the Imaum of .Muscat. Several of the Opposition journals have been loud in their praises of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S policy, not because they love PEEL, but because they hate GUIZOT more, and delighted to draw the contrast between a Minister, with a majority of 90, and one who rarely can muster nine. The Journal des Debate says the fault is not with the French Minister but the French Conservatives in the Chamber, who have not the patriotism, like the English Turks, to sacrifice private differences to higher and more general considerations. The following is an extract from the article;: — `There is really something amusing in the fit of admira tion with which the Opposition of every shade, from the left to the dissentients of the centres, has been all at once seized for the English Ministry, and particularly for Sir R. Peel. If the illustrious Premier of England was not a prophet in his own country, he would at least have the consolation of being so in ours. We expect some of these days to see statues raised to him by subscriptions opened in committees of the Opposi tion, or by the journals most affected by Anglo-phobia. In truth, there is cause to render the English jealous or Sir R. Peel suspected. The French tribune and press have no longer eyes or ears but for this fortunate Minister. M. Billault, who would like well enough to get a compliment in return, calls him a great man; Peers and Deputies offer him incense; the journals join in this concert of praise ; in fact, Sir Robert Peel is the political lion of the moment. That does not shock us. Let the Opposition be at rest—we are not going to accuse it of treason, or to reproach it with sacrificing to per fidious Albion the honour and interests of France ! _We shall not call it the foreign party, or the Pritchard party, or even the Peel party. We also have the highest esteem for the Prime Minister of England ; we believe, in fact, that the Opposition has sometimes reproached us with expressing it too often. But, in fine, there is a measure in everything, and even the best things ought not to be abused. As to us, if we are ready on all occasions to admit how much boldness, as well as spirit of government, there is in the important reforms ac complished in England by Sir R. Peel, we do not do se, it may be believed, to lessen the men who govern us, and to deprecate their acts. It would be perfectly absurd to turn against the French Ministers the praises which every one justly accords to those of England, seeing that the political practices and habits of the two countries render all coinpa r►son in this respect inapplicable. We shall even declare that if a comparison of this kind could be made, and if it could be disadvantageous to us, the fault would not be in our government, but in our Chambers, and in the manner in which the practice of Parliamentary institutions appears to be comprehended in our country. Thus we behold every day the English Ministry coming victoriously out of all debates with majorities of ninety or 100, and thereupon the great politicians of the Opposition fall into ecstacies, and exclaim with an air of admiration and envy, Ah ! there's a Ministry. That's what can be called a Government.' It appears to us that it would be quite as natural and much more just to cry out, ' There's a House of Commons! that's what may be called a party !" VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND was occupied the whole morning with motions and causes of no general inte rest. This is the last day of his Honour's sitting till the 7th of April, when his Honour will sit again in I.incoln's Inn, and continue his sittings till the first day of term. (Before Vice -Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.) his HoNoun took causes to-day, and will sit to-morrow to hear the bankrupt petition " Ex parte Young in the case of Noble." The Court will then adjourn to the 7th of next month, when his Honour takes motions. On the 9th and the 14th the Court will hear bankrupt petitions; and on the first day of term, the 15th, it is generally understood his Honour will sit in the new temporary Court erected for him in Old Palace-yard. (Before Vice-Chancellor WIGRAM.) This is the last day of his Honour's sitting till the 7th of April. The Court took causes of no general interest. His Honour will sit in his new Court at Westminster on the first day of Easter term. SURREY SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. PucieLE, and a full bench: of Magistrates.) James Dellaway and Thomas Lull' were indicted for burglariously breaking into, and stealing a quantity of hol hinds from, the house of Elizabeth Cheesman, situated at Witley, in this county, between the hours of nine o'clock in the evening of the 6th, and six o'clock in the morning of the 7th March. The evidence against them was of the most conclusive nature, but Mr. LOOSE, who appeared for them, on looking at the indictment, found that it charged them with having stolen the articles upon the 7th of March, in the eighth year of the reign of her present Majesty, whereas, in point of fact, it should have been in the seventh year of her reign. The COURT held the objection to be good, and directed the jury to return a verdict of acquittal, after which the Learned Chairman, addressing the prosecutrix, said she might give the prisoners again into charge upon leaving the dock. Two policemen accordingly stationed themselves at the gate of the dock, and upon the gaoler turning them out of the dock, they were immediately taken into custody and re moved to Southwark Police-court, when a new and more thrmal indictment, to be tried at the next sessions, will be frlmed. Lord G. SOMERSET said, that he also thought that it was better to leave it to the goodwill of the com panies, than to introduce any such clause. The railway directors had always subscribed with great liberality to any work which had for its object the spiritual welfare of their people. The Bill was then read the third time, and a clause introduced which provided that it should be competent for persona interested in any property likely to be affected by the formation of any railway, to take copies of, or make extracts from, the copy of the Bill deposited with the clerk of the peace. The Bill was then read a third time. _ _ William Strahan, Esq., of A3hurst, the late High Sheriff for the County of Surrey, took the usual oath prescribed as a magistrate for the county. MARLBOROUGH-STREET (THIS DAY.) CHARGE OF PERJURY.—Dr. Henry Arnold Green, of No. 3, Curzon•street, May-fair, was brought up in custody of Sergeant Wall, of the C division, having been apprehended by him last night, in Holles-street, Cavendish-square, on a judge's warrant issued against him, on an indictment pre ferred and found at the Central Criminal Court, in January sessions last, for wilful and corrupt perjury, in two affidavits relative to proceedings in the Court of Common Pleas. Mr. MAL•rnY directed that the prisoner should be taken before a judge at Chambers, that being the usual course in . such cases. On the motion that the Bill do pass, A clause was introduced, on the motion of Lord G. SOMERSET, providing that railway companies should not alter any branch or main gas or water pipes until they had substituted other pipes, and providing also that all such new pipes should be laid at least eighteen inches from the surface of the road; and also that cul verts, or other protection, should be provided which would enable the company to make any repairs that might be necessary. Mr. HAWES wished to know whether the Noble Lord would have any objection to frame a standing order requiring companies to give notice to the Admiralty of any works which they intended to construct of acting the navigation of rivers. As the Bill before the House was then about to pass, he had one remark to make. It was, that he hoped they would never have these twelve o'clock sittings again at the commencement of the session.—(" Hear, hear," from Colonel Sit; thorp.) Those who had attended the sittings upon that Bill must have seen that the _public business was not satis factorily attended to.—(Hear, hear.) He trusted that after Eastg no morning sittitgs would take place ; if they did, iFwould be impossible that the Bills could re ceive proper attention. At the end of the session the same objection did not apply ; because the business transacted was, in fact, the completion of measures the general principle of which had already received the sanction of the House ; but he entertained a strong objection both to the continuance of the morning sit tings after Easter, and to the repetition of them at a still earlier period of the session.—(Hear, hear.) Col. SIBTHORP expressed his lull concurrence in what had fallen from the Hon. Member (Mr. Hawes) on the subject of morning sittings. He did hope that they would never have a repetition of such scenes as had re cently been exhibited, when ten, fifteen, or twenty Mem bers were all who were engaged in passing the most im portant measures. Mr. LABOUCHERE said the question which had been mooted by his Hon. Friend near him was a very important one. That question was whether it was ex pedient or not for the House to sit at such an early hour during the former part of the session. He confessed that on the whole he was inclined to agree with his Hon. Friend ; but at the same time he must say that in some cases both the Government and the House had to make a choice of evils.—(Hear, hear.) Whatever inconveni ence there might have been in taking these Bills in the early sittings, it must be acknowledged that it would have formed a great obstruction to the public business if they had been taken in the evening. Still, though he did not blame the Government for the course they had now pur sued, he thought the practice was objectionable. He did believe that, in the long run, they would not get through more business by attending these morning sittings, than if they sat at the usual hour in the evening. Lord G. SOMERSET said, he admitted that the various considerations advanced of the inconvenience of attending the morning sittings were entitled to the utmost attention, and be much regretted the necessity that existed for having had recourse to such a procedure. There were peculiar circumstances which rendered such a course absolutely necessary. He could not deny that the subjects before them were of pa. remount importance, and well deserved the considera tion of the House. It was quite notorious that the whole strength c f Vie House would be required on Com mittees on private Bills after Easter, and it was, there fore, aesirable that these measures should be disposed of before Eastcr. He did not think it would be necessary, under all the circumstances, to continue the morning sittings after that period. With regard to the proposition made by the llon. Member for Lambeth (Mr. Hawes), he fully concurred in the expediency of it, and it was very probable that after Easter he should introduce it as a standing order. The Bill was then read a third time and passed. LAND CLAUSES CONSOLIDATION BILL. The Court was crowded by respectable tradesmen resid ing at the west-end, who are interested in the present pro ceedings. Sergeant Wall has been incessantly engaged in endea vouring to apprehend the prisoner from the period of the indictment being found against him. DARTMOUTH ELECTION COM MITTEE.--(THIS DAY.) The Committee sat this day at Twelve o'clock, and imme diately after had the room cleared, and remained in con sultation until half-past two, when the public were re admitted, and The CHAIRMAN said he had to announce that the Com mittee had, after having maturely considered all the facts of this case, which was one of great difficulty and em barrassment, and given their best attention to all the facts and the law, as well as the legal arguments used on both sides—after having taken all those matters into their moat anxious consideration, the Committee had come to the following resolution :—" That at the last election for the borough of Dartmouth, Joseph Somes, Esq., was not dis qualified as a candidate by reason of his having been engaged in any contracts, within the meaning of the Act of Geo. 111., cap. 43."—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Sergeant WRANCIIIAM then rose and said, that after that announcement he begged to say that it was no t th e intention of the petitioner to prosecute any of the other allegations contained in the petiti on. H e also begged to say that in thus withdrawing all further opposition, his client was under the impression that the whole of this in quiry had been conducted in a fair and temperate manner. Mr. TALBOT begged to assure the petitioner, and those who acted with him, that not the slightest particle of ill feeling existed towards them on the mind of Mr. Somes. The Committee then broke up.

We subjoin, from the Akkbar, of Algiers, an abridged account of the dreadful explosion which took place there on the Bth instant:— "About a quarter past ten at night, on the Bth, a loud explosion was heard, in the direction of the marine establish ment of Algiers ; this was followed by another loud explosion and by successive detonations, like the tiring of a broadside from a ship of war. The inhabitatants of Algiers rushed in alarm to the spot, where they found the light of the light house extinguished, and a scene of ruin and desolation. A portion of the casemated rampart between the old Spanish town called Pigeon and the post and the houses built against this rampart were only a heap of ruins, from which mutilated persons, covered with blood and dust, were extricating themselves. The pavilion, inhabited by Commandant Palard, sub-director of the artillery, and the buildings in habited by companies of artillery workmen and pontonniers, had been carried away. The explosions which caused these disasters had taken place in the two magazines, separated from each other by the ditch at the foot of the old Spanish town upon which the lighthouse stands. Considerable in jury was done in the port, and especially on the Bouberak, by numerous stones, thrown to a distance of 200 metres. In the buildings there are killed 43 artillery workmen, 10 artil lerymen, 31 pontonniers, and 2 workmen of the second com pany ; there were, besides, 30 wounded. Sergeant-Major Denot, his wife, who was pregnant, and a child, perished. The Controulcur d'Armes, Piron, died after under going amputation of the leg. Five other non-commis sioned officers were crushed to death on the ruins. The Commandant of Artillery, Palard, was killed under the ruins of his house, which was almost levelled to the ground by the violence of the explosion. Close to the pavilion oc cupied by M. Palard was the house of M. Segretier, Director of the Port, who had at the time about twenty persons in his drawing room. Mme. Segretier, hearing her child cry, left her guests to go into the room where the child was, and, as she was returning to the salle-ii-manger to give directions for tea, the explosion took place, and she was buried in the ruins of the house, only one room of which was spared—viz., that which she had quitted, and in which the company was as sembled. In that room only one person, Madame Sylvestre, the wife of the Admiral's secretary, was injured, and that slightly. When the spectators of this horrible scene had re covered from their first shock, they heard the last words of the unhappy mother—they were Saverny child.' " THE BOURSE-7MONDAY, MARCH 17. Lord G. SOMERSET brought up several new clauses, which were severally read a first and second time, and committed. The House having again resumed, the report was brought up by Mr. GREENE, and agreed to. On the motion that the Bill be read a third time being put, Colonel SIBTIIORP said that he observed in one of the Noble Lord's amended clauses a reference made to canals, and other public undertakings. He wished to know whether barracks or public warehouses were to be considered as public undertakings ; and whether the public would have access to see the plans relating to them ?

Sub-Commitue No. 4 re-assembled at one o'clock, and proceeded with THE LONDON, CHAT HAM, AND NORTH KENT RAILWAY. Mr. BURKE proceeded with his allegations against the plans of the promoters. There were a great number of these allegations, which were purely of a technical cha ractcr. Many were abandoned, and few sustained. COUNTY AIEETING.—We understand that a county meeting will shortly be held, to take into consideration Sir James Graham's Settlement Bill.—Cambridge Advertiser. THE PAISLEY DESECRATORS.—It seems we were within the mark last Saturday in stating the number of the Paisley Agnew desecrators on the previous Sunday at one hundred and fifty. There were three hundred of them trotting and galloping to Glasgow on the Sabbath-day, in carts, gigs, omnibuses, and waggons, to bear the free oracle. We would have said nothing about this, but for the pre-emi nent professing sanctity of these " free " people, or rather their hypocritical jargon against the railway ; and if Mr. John M.Naughtan does not forthwith excommunicate his orn adherents—these " desecrators," as he calls others, how can he hold up his own face at the next meeting of the rail way Directors, which lie has promised to attend, in company with the good Sir Andrew ?--Scotch Reforzner's Gazette.

CURLING.—The severity of the weather has enabled a number of gentlemen from the north to enjoy their favourite pastime of curling on the lake at the Surrey Zoological Gardens, where they assemble as early as seven o'clock. ACCIDENT FROM WINDOW CLEANING.—A female servant of Mr. Butt, tailor, Westminster-road, fell from a second-floor window yesterday morning as she was standing on the outside to clean it. Her shoulder was dislocated; but otherwise the injuries she received were not so serious as might have been expected. THE NEW DEPUTY CORONER FOR WESTMINSTER. —The Lord-Chancellor having signified his approval of Mr. Bedford, of the firm of Bedford and Vincent, of Dartmouth. street, Westminster, the newly-appointed deputy coroner for the city and liberties of Westminster, in the place of Mr. Higgs, who has held the office upwards of a quarter of a century, has appointed to morrow (Wednesday) for swearing him in. On that day, Mr. Higgs ceases to act, and Mr. Bedford enters upon the functions of his office. SIGNS or IMPROVEMENT.—Messrs. Ainscow and Tomlinson, machine-makers of this town, have, in coin• pliance with the request of their workmen, granted them half an hour in each day as tea time, for five days in the week—a privilege of which they were deprived during the late depression.

Directors of the West of England Fire Insurance Company, in order to put an end to the very serious losses incurred by the wanton setting fire to farming and other property in this and other counties, have intimated their determination to prosecute all offenders, so as to lead to the severest punishment of such persons. The company have ordered their solicitor, Mr. Barnes, to prosecute, at the ensuing assizes, Mary Hayes and Mary Lashbrook, charged with an offence of this description at Bideford.— Devanpor t Telegraph. THE GENERAL POST-OFFlCE.—Ccnsiderable altera tions are about to be made in the establishment of the General Post-office, in St. Martin's-le•Grand, by the erection of side galleries and other conveniences in the newspaper and letter-sorting offices, in order to expedite both the morning and evening duties. tax. The Noble Lord went into a great number of sta tistical details, for the purpose of showing the injustice of the tax and detrimental effects which it produced on the public health, and concluded by moving for a Select Committee to inquire into the present mode of assess ing, levying, and collecting the window-duties in Great Britain, and to report their opinion thereupon to the House. Captain Ilous seconded the motion, which was op posed by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. In the discussion which followed Captain PECHELL, Sir C. NAPIER, Mr. E. ELLICE, Mr. HUME, Mr. BARING, Mr. WARLEY, and Sir R. PEEL, took part, and on a division the motion was negatived by a majority of 46. Mr. G. W. HOPE, in moving for certain papers re lating to New Zealand, took the opportunity of vin dicating the conduct which Lord STANLEY had pur sued in his negotiations with the New Zealand Com pany, He was replied to by Mr. CHARLES BULLER, who concluded an admirable address by moving, as an amendment—" For the production of all correspondence that had taken place between Lord STANLEY and the New Zealand Company." After an angry debate, the motion was agreed to, and the House adjourned at a Quarter to Two o'clock. It ought to be a great consolation to very poor men who cannot conjure a crown-piece into either pocket, " charm they never so wisely," that there are other mortals who are reduced to a fearful condition of perplexity and distress by the very converse of their own condition. A poet of antiquity has sung " that a good man struggling with the storms of fate" is a spectacle fit for the contemplation of the immortal gods. He would have added, had he lived to our times, that the study of a First Lord of the Treasury " bother'd"—(there is no other phrase of force or significancy equal to our meaning)—with a surplus revenue of about 3,000,0001. is a luxury to be enjoyed, in all its intensity, only by a pauper. Pleasant to him who, having little money enough, Heaven knows, to spare for his own and his family's purposes, is compelled to part with a portion of it to a grasping Government, which is hampered in its movements by the fortunate dilemma of having " money in both pockets." The Premier is like a successful gamester, who, having broken the other players and swept the board, is set upon, before he can move off with his booty, by twenty different claimants on his " kind consideration " and relief, They become importunate in the proportion of his success ; and the imperiousness and decision of their demands in the ratio of their numbers and influence. Sir R. PEEL had a task of no slight difficulty, either on his original proposition of the income• tax or on his recent application for its three years' renewal— to win the consent of the ,House of Commons to his plan. lie played boldly, however, and, as we have stated, he succeeded. In return, the House was to be put in good humour with his scheme for appropriat ing the surplus of public income over expenditure which he had realised on the financial year ending in January last. Every man who voted for the Pre mier's property and income-tax must have assumed I that there was something to be obtained in return, by way of fiscal concessions, in which his constituents or himself would find themselves more or less inte rested. Not the least successful part of the character which he so well sustained, pending the discussions on the nature of the exigencies that were to justify his demand and the vote of the House, was, the ability with which he managed, up to the very closing scene of his performance on this occasion, to induce all classes of his supporters to imagine that he was acting up to the wishes and hopes of each, to the exclusion of those of all others. The drama being over, the serious interlude ensues of the " Surplus and its Disposal." In this the new principal appeals to the favour of the Legislature are sustained on behalf of the remis sion or modification of the tea duties, the total re moval of the window-tax, the extinction of the soap duty, a large diminution of the duty on malt, or a still larger reduction of the tobacco duties. When a great nation can be persuaded, in a period of profound peace, whilst in the enjoyment of a very high degree of nati;mal prosperity, and of a still increasing com merce of unexampled extent and almost incalculable value, to submit to the imposition of a war-tax, for the sole purpose of bringing up the aggregate of the public income to the sum of its expenditure—the nation has a clear right to the !greater; proportion of whatever benefit, direct or indirect, may accrue on the result of such an experiment. The constant tax payer has an equitable claim to this indulgence rather than the larger tax-payer. This consideration is strengthened by the fact that the new impost, in virtue of which the excess of revenue arises, is an extraor dinary one. Now, since it is the inevitable condition of trade to fluctuate in extent and value, the product of custom and excise duty must be liable to similar variation. New tariffs, moreover, and the philosophy of free-trade principles, occur now and then to relieve trade from many and grievous burdens. But there is no phenomenon in the history of Go vernment measures so rare. as a tariff of reduced assessed taxes. The great bulk of assessed tax payers are a perpetual:target_for Ministerial finance practice. They stand to be shot at. There they have stood so long, and have been fired at so success fully, that Ministers, without them, would retain neither the eye nor: the aim needful to carry on the operations of their Government. In short, the as sessed taxes, since the close of the war in 1814.15, have had so little remission or indulgence that it does seem high time to give them the honours of at least a partial dismissal and retirement. They ought to be superseded. On the principles we have stated, it seems clear to us that of all the proposed remission of taxes, this class of imposts has the preferable claim on the Premier. And of this class we are strongly dis posed to concui with those who consider that the window-tax ought to have stood foremost on the list of the " boons," as they have been called, or re missions in favour of the tax-paying community. Its principle was odious, vicious, and oppressive, from the first day that it received the sanction of the Legislature. Its operation, like that of almost every other tax in this country, has been espe ciall3 severe upon the poor. It has a ne cessary tendency, by rendering chargeable one of the first common bounties of Providence, to mar the beauty of nature ; to sap the health of the community ; to discourage all those conditions of the atmosphere within and without the dwellings of man, which are most essential to the vigour, conve nience, and enjoyment of his existence. A tax upon the light of heaven—that blessed element of all social vitality and beauty—is a premium en disease, a de stroyer of industry, a scourge of the human consti tution, an incentive to crime, and a cloak for guilt; and the mother of the most sordid progeny, that be speak their connexion:with idleness, squalor, misery, and shame. Remove this tax, and give to the hum bler classes well-lighted, and therefore well-aired tenements, and you surround them at once with an ameliorated physical atmosphere, which will have for its sure concomitants a moral cheerfulness, an alacrity of spirit, a suscep tibility to the improving influences of natural scenery, or civil associations, in the town and in the country, which will work a reform and an improve ment in their condition far more practical and exten l i - sive than any of which nine out of ten projectors of utilitarian schemes and normal schools have, we sus pect, any Lotion. On these grounds we are most anxious for the re mission of this window duty ; postponing only (but far from undervaluing, even comparatively) the re mission of the various other duties to which we have alluded in the commencement of this article. W e have not forgotten with how much severity certain Whig leaders, after accepting office, were visited by their constituents fur their violation of the pledges they had given to procure the repeal of the window duties. If anything connected with the ingrained " luck" of the present Government could astonish us, we should marvel at the facility with which the vast proportion of their supporters, equally opposed to this obnoxious tax, have permitted it hitherto to remain unchal lenged at the hands of her MAJESTY'S Ministers. The division of last night has settled the question for the session, but hopes are held out by the Premier that he will take the subject into serious consideration, and remove the tax as soon as the state of the finances will admit. We have received Madrid journals of the 11 th inst., which contain' an outline of the Bill for reforming the representative system in Spain, and perhaps in no country where a national assembly exists is reform more motel.

A partial thaw commenced yesterday, and the effect of the sun, which should now be felt, on the 19th of March, has, we hope, put an mit to skating for the season. In the parks and Kensington Gardens but few persons were seen on the ice, and the amusement was very indifferent. We have now had a winter of nearly five months—one of MARKET NE WS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY. The supply of English Wheat on sale was rather limited, owing to which most descriptions were in steady request, at full quotations. In free Foreign Wheat a fair amount of business was doing, at previous rates. Malting Barley pro duced full prices ; but grinding and distilling sorts were a mere drug.

OA KS. FLANDERS MAIL. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) BRUSSELS, MARCH 16.—8 y a Ministerial resolution of the 15th of March it is decided, that in addition to one packet between Antwerp and Batavia and Singapore, fur which service special regulations are made, there will be, in 1845, regular packets; one between Antwerp and Constantinople, touching at Smyrna, Athens, and Syra ; two between Ant werp and Bahia, touching at Pernambuco; three betweeen Antwerp and New York ; four between Antwerp, Valpa raiso, and Cablao ; five between Antwerp and New York. In consequence of the continuance of the cold, vegetables are extravagantly dear, aed so scarce that many persons re siding in the distant quarters, find it difficult to procure any. The farmers sell their cattle, being unable to feed them. The supply of milk in the city is insufficient. Great fears are felt for the crops. As for statistics of pauperism we dare not touch on that subject. The Impartial of Bruges publishes a letter from Ostend, of the 14th, which says :—" The schooner belonging to the royal marine is fitting out in our basin. Orders are daily ex pected for its departure for the late colony of Guatemala. It will not be commanded by Captain Petit. —Brussels Papers, March 17.
