SPIRIT orthe PUBLIC JOURNALS. PROM Tim EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY, STANDARD, —The Quarter's . Revenue, as we stated Yeaterday, Nat be made up this evening, and tre understand that the year's account will show a very considerable increase in all the main branches of revenue. The quarter's account will exhibit an inerease, as compared with the correspond. ing quarter of last -year, on every item of revenue, thus 'testifying a progressive improvement in the commerce and trade of the - country, and the ceg elitism of the several classes of the population. On Ilk year we understand the revenue will .ex.. need that of the year ending sth April, 1843, up wards of one million five hundred thousand pounds; it probably will be nearly two millions. On the quarter, as compared with the corresponding quarter of last year; the accounts, as at present made up, show an increase in the Customs of upwards of 300,000/. In the Excise the increase is from 40,000/. to 50,000/. The property-tax remains much the same. There is an increase in the Post-office returns, the stamps, and is every - Other branch of the public revenue. GLOBE.—" We are assured," says the timeS of this morning, "on unquestiOnable authority, that the rumour current yesterday on the subject'of the meet ing at Sir Robert Peel's is wholly without founda tion. The flikussion did not turn at all on the Fac • tory Bill, nor was there any threat of dissolution." The " child at Limerick" being the "killed, and the " report contradicted," we turn from the Times facts to its theories on the Factory question. The Times takes Sir James Graham to task for the following passage of his speech on that question : " I will now pass to another argument hardly less terrifying—the argument that 'se have now arrived at a new social state—(Loud cries of " Hear")—such as to lead to a departure from .all fixed principles which have hitherto guided the wisest - men on the subject ; that we must meet thiS new social state by a new scheme of legislation on. this matter, and that whereas all men have hitherto held that interference with the market of free labour was unjustifiable, or only to be justified in a strong exceptional case, this rule must now be in verted and legislative interference must be general. there must be no limit, excepting not even the necessity of the case, but even the possibility of the case.—(Hear, hear.) . . . I say a more dangerous course has never yet been opened to the view of a legislative assembly. Within the last forty .eight hours I have seen an expression used, to which, on the whole, I am willing to give my assent—that this is the commencement of: a Jack Cade system of legislation." To this the Times replies, that the Poor-law Amendment Act (upheld by Sir James Graham, for which offence the Home Secretary seems to have succeeded Lord Brougham as the Times"' whipping boy") was founded on the same argument which Sir James objects to—that vve had arrived at a new social state : " On the very supposition that we had arrived at a new state of things—that our increasing , population burdened the land, and that our increasing trade and commerce afforded an opportunity for relieving the land of that burden—the very persons now so old fashioned and timorous did ten years back, either as principals or accomplices, perpetrate the New roor-law— the greatest social revolution England has yet seen, and the greatest break into existing law, and rule, and Feet cedent. Yet when this new state of things,. thus created , imperiously demands to be met in its turn by new mea sures=when the most prominent necessity of the day is proteetion of labour—our statesmen suddenly. affect a constitutional horror of novelty. Nothing is too new when the landlord or the capitalist asks them, for relief; but the millions are at their , feet, then, 'For hea ven's sake,' they say, let's have no novelty: Thus do they ride and tie with protection and -political econemy, with novel emergency and legislative precedent." According to the Times, then, the New Poor-law created a new state of things—and thereby created ,a necessity for new measures of " protection for lab:S - 11r." Those who supported.the New Poor-law are incon sistent in refusing to support these new measures. Presently, however, the Tillie* discovers that . the new state of things is "not of Our Making,"—not, there fore, of Sir James Graham's Making, nor the, New Foor•laws ;—and that those Who" supported that mea sure were riglit,in their view of the circumstances on trhich,thqy fonnAca it " Such is the ',present exigency. A. new power of nature has steldenly started up in the midst of us; as it it were a mighty river suddenly gushing out of the earth,'-or a new" Order of exiStlextees, half brutal, halt rational, with which we suddenly found ourselves allied. The whole nation feels its benefit ; in. dustry its aid ; but the , labourer . its. competition. At the same time our population has: fearfully increased far beyond our natural' capabilities. These changes nee not of our making ; heaven has sent them. We cannot close cur eyes to the fact.. Though we tried to reject, . the fact as , a whole,- . still we should be obliged to encounter .it in , a' thoUsand 'de tails. The disorders of the country are new. Their symptoms are anomalous and monstrous, if we look only to what has been before. The learned practitioner cas sot find them in the old works' f pathology ; or, if he thinks he has identified the new with the old, is set right at last by the 'discovery that he has made some fatal blunder. A vast and friendless population, driven through the most miserable straitness of life, thronging nod crushing, and treading on one another, pass be tween the Scylla of excessive working and the Charyb dis of destitution. Where shall we find the like of this Sa history ? Then, why , are we to insist on the neces sity of a legislative precedent, .if there be . noneexactly to thopurpose ?" The Times, then, subscribes to the opinion that "our population has fearfully increased 'far beyoaa our natural capabilities." How ,does the Times har monlie this opinion with its other' opinion (implies' by its . .support of the old poor-law practice—for the principle of poor-law relief still subsists—nor is thene anything uprecedented 'in unions of parishes, nor in anion-workhouses)—the opinion, namely, that it is the duty of parishea to enable every Man to live com fortably on his native spot—to make'good to every man from public funds any deficiency of support wbich he can derive from his hereditary mode of industry, unless, on this theory of paraehiatehligatidn, the - Times' poor law talk is meaningless. .But this theory of pa rochial obligatien, is untenable,', if it is true . (as tie Time; also thinks), that " Our , population has. fear fully increased far beyondsdur natural capabilities:' To guarantee : lupport : to the labouring people in their- naive • parishes, and their - Old 'emPloyments, is to act on the presumption that they have net ." increased beyond, 'our natural capabilities." . But the Times say they Bare. We can tell the Times that' it has &battle to fight for its own consistency before it, is in a pOsition to take up the cudgels against' Sir J. Graham s. Leaving the 'Times to reduce to harmony: as it can its own clashing propositions, we take that, one-of them which we , think true=that our :people . increase. beyond (Air merely internal resources- 7 -and we pursue no further, fur the present, the; plain ad-, vantage thisiivei Agninst an adversary . who is incessantly, c lamouring for • the right of labourers, wherever they are born, there to be main. tained from those resources— for migration is usually necessary to Stake, advantage of other resources —those, namely, supplied' by Manufactures and com merce. "We leave the Times, for the preient, unmo4 lested in its selfcontradictOry stain quo on that point. We make use of it's admission solely as it beers on the factory question. What is the inference SS regards that question, from the 'admitted- increase of our population far' - beyond - our' natural- capabili ties?

RE CHARLES MATHEWS, THE' COMEDIAN. Mr. *Charles James Mathews, the c omediai, ap peared 'before the Court to-day, for the purrose of undergoing his Anal examination, and, if no ( pposi tion should be offered, 'of receiving the order Lf the Court for his protection against any further pro ceedings of creditors against him. Sir C. WILLIAMS asked if the parties were ready to proceed? Mr. Lewis, who appeared for lir. Mathews, replied they were quite ready, and he was not aware that there would be any opposition to-day; He had handed n the file of "the insolvent's debts to the Registrar of the COurt. - Mr. Froggatt, the solicitor; said, as a creditor, he felt it hii duty . to oppose the nomination of Mr. An derson as an assignee. . .. The Registrar said, that if Mr. Anderson were ob jected to, there must be an appointment . by the general body of the cfeditors. Sir C. Nirthi,iAms - said Mr. Anderson had been nominated as a Cash cetitoi for 890/.; arld'his nomiL. nation had retelved the general assent of the creditors. Mr. Lewis said there had been no 'objection to Mr. Anderson's circumstances before, and his solicitor stated that he was in perfectly solvent circhmstanees.• Sir C. WILLIAMS said he had not the power to no minate ;it rested with the creditors. It was quite immaterial to him who : was appointed; but he should take care that the creditors should benefit as much as possible, as far as lay in his power. The funds could never vest but in one hand, according to the provisions of the Act of 'Parliament. Mr. Froggatt said 11Ir".Anderson had himself been, recently a bankrupt, and if a man could not conduct: his own affairs, he was hardly a fit person to take the management, of another's: • , Mr. Lewis said it was eight years since Mr. An derson was a bankrupt. Mr. Roberts, who appeared for Mr. Anderson, said that Mr. Anderson had sworn that he had paid all his debts--even his, turf debts. Sir C. WiLuasis—Except, if he recollected rightly, and his memory was very tenacious, except corn :mission debts—aebts arising out of bets which he had been commissioned t o o make for others who had not paid him. He stated that they had authorised him to make bets, and if he won they received the money, but if he lost they refused to .pay.--(Laughter.) ' Mr. Froggatt sa,id, as he understood the money would go to the official.as.signee, he was quite -satis fied, and would offer no other opposition , Sir . C. WILLIAMS - said; from the commencement of these proceeding - a there had been some sagacious per sons who had been pleased to express their opinion , that he ought to act with great severity towards the insolvent, and had communicated these opinions by anonymous letters. He had, however, endeavoured to do all in his power to forward the interests of the creditors without this, and at the same time without forfeiting the letter of the law. Mr.. Mathews, he thought,. had made a Most creditable and liberal offer ; and he would not offer any remarks upon his present position or poWer of realising his Promises, But if hiis health were spared, and he continued the exertions, which he had commenced, ` he thought the creditors would soon have 10s. in the pound: Sup pose- he bad , acted on the 'suggestions of the . very sagacious persons to whom he had alluded, would-this have been the case ? Mr. Froggatt—Your observations, Sir Merles, do not apply to me. Sir CHARLES WILLIAMS—Oh. no, Mr. Proggatt; but I have many . anonyrnous advisers. I assure:you I get 0.. great many sagacious,.promptiugs'since the penny postage %system. has come into bperaticm. , — (Laughter.) Mr. Lewis pow addressed the Court, and stated that Mr. Mathews was here to-day on sufferance as defendant to a. suit of the Crown for 331: 8s: 2d., claimed as the amount of taxes. A writ of execution lid been issued for the money ; but Mr. Tiinm; of the Stamp-office, had consented to allow the matter to stand over until he (Mr. Lewis) could apply 'to this 'Court. The object of his applieation was, that this 'skim should be allowed to be paid. : Sir C. WILLIAMS thought it was much better.that it sliouldfhe paid, as any other course would - only be taking money.out of the pockets of the 'creditors. The - .writ having been put in, and proved on the oath of Mr. Lewis, the debt, after some further con versation, was allowed, 'The Registrar asked when Mr. MatheWa would begin his payments towards . the liquidation of his debts? Mr. Lewis said something would he paid to-day. „ . . • The Registrar--But the monthly payments"? • Mr: . Lewis said that, pending these proceedings, Mr. Mathews had saved for his creditors 290/.,but to enable - him to earn that money, it had been neces sary that he (Mr. Lewis) should advance him 731. to go to Liverpool, and for the purchase of the neces sary dresses: Sir C. WILLIAMS--Those dresses will be useful in future, I suppose. Mr.-Mathews—Oh, • certainly, Sir Charles ; there are fifty-six of them, and they are all in perfect order. Mr. Lewis continued to say he had advanced this money on a pledge that he should be repaid, and - he now applied for the sanction of the Court for its re , gayment . out of the amount of the earnings which lay to-his account at the Bank of England. Sir C. WiLmsis Could not , comply with this re quest, not having the power, but had the greatest celiifidenee• that the creditors would; do everything that Waireatoneble. • After'Some-further conversation and arrangements as to' the' Conn encernent of the periodical payments by . ,Mr. MathewS; the final order was signed for his protection friititall further proceedings. • , - It was . ultimately arranged that the payments should 'be quarterly or half-yearly, and date - from the 13th of April.-- ASSIZE LINTELLIGENCE.

AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR MARCH. The present is, unquestionably, a most important: period of the , year for agriculture, more particularly as relates to ploughing the land for the reception of Lent corn. As this operation is chiefly influenced by the state of the atmosphere, a few remarks respecting that experienced, this month may not be out of place. Its early part, although so closely following the" filly .dyke'.' season, was `seasonably fine but, from the Bth until the - 20th, heavy showers fell almost daily in every wrt of England, we might say of the king dom. These rains so completely saturated the soil, especially in the loWlands—many of, which were parr tially inundated during—several. days—as to put a stop, for a time, to the progress of• the plough. Not withstanding, however; these visitations, the agricul turists were not idle ;• the various• other matters con nected with farm labours •haring engrossed muth of ;heir attention. ' From the latter period - Abby& referred' 'to, until the month's conclusion; •the• -temperature • was dry, •and consequently seasonalzrle.; hence very• great progress was made in the' fields. With the exception, there fore, of the' drawback above alluded to, there is every reason to, congratulate our readers upon the time just elapsed. As to the position in which farm labours now are, we-have to intimate that it is quite as satis factory as could be desired ; in fact, both - ploughing and sowing—which are fully expected to be concluded within the time usually allotted to them ---are suffil ciently forward.: From time 'immemorial, the pre sence of* March dust has been considered an omen of A good future harvest ; of that commodity' there has been a fair share. Let us hope that the prognos tications,of, ancient may hold good in modern years. A large portion of wheat,-barley, and oats, including beans and peas, has now been sown, with the land, for the most part, in good working condition. It affords us very; great pleasure in being able to state that the contents of the letters received from our numerous 'correspondents residing in the great sgri cultUral distriets gre such its to enable us 'to convey to our readers a most' flattering statement of the win ter wheats: - This• is a subject, worthy of the 'Most at tentive OOeSideratiOn' 'at this Moment, fin. we need scarcely, saY,'that upon the present condition of the growing crops depends, in some measure, the future prospects of the• agricultural body, increasing or les sening as it does the demand for the stocks of ' grain On hand,' and thug. having • a tendency to influence prices.- Some few of our statements-complain of-the ravages 'con mitted by the slug; but,' considering that the past winter has been one of comparative mild' ness, the losses thus, experienced form but a small, very small, item for Consideration. It is to be ob served that we have had occasion to make remarks to the same effect as these.during the last three or four years. May not this effect' have been produced by the progress agricultural chemistry is making through out the length and - breadth of the land? We are but' little admirers of theory, but it occurs to us that, in years yet to come, science will be the general basis on which agriculture will be conducted. To use a technical expression, so regular have • the wheats appeared that the land upon 'which they . are:growing has almost the appearance of a bowling-green ; while preinatUre eiuheranee has ;been seldom complained of. : • The corn trade, of the month has not exhibited that 'buoyancy of character which many persons were led •to - Anticipate. -It is true that in its early part the. 'value of, most grain was supported; with a steady demand for .the best descriptions ; but as' it pro ' ceedecb, the demand became extremely heavy, at a decline of from li. to 3s. per quarter in the rates of wheat, while barley 'ha retrograded to the same extent :In all 'Other corn no material variation has been noticed, though the trade has ruled inactive. As might be expected; •this state of derriand has some what perplexed the speculators in foreign :Corn,. and prevented orders to any extent' being transmitted to the various grain shipping ports up the Baltic and elsewhere. _That there is vety . little- firdijlCel of any immediate...improvernent.' •faking • ' place in the value of wheat. is obvious; but When we consider that the produce - oflast year's crops was barely an average, and that the stocks of that of home growth are far from large for the season, we are led to con cludemore especially as the supply of foreign, both free and in bond, is limited—that higher rates will be obtained during the months of July and August. From• Scaland we learn that great progresS has . been made in out-door farm labours, the whole of which are represented as being sufficiently forward. , The' .wheats are looking 'remarkably strong and healthy, but the supply of wheat and barley in the hands of the: farmers Is acknowledged tole-small. I The shipments of corn to England from the various Irish ports 'have been small, while the different markets have been scantily supplied ; prices, however, have nndergene no change. worthy - of notice. Most of the winter propS have been already sown , under favourable ansplees.--.Farnier's Magazine. - 5.14 ' ----- . • i -- • - .
