PRIVATE AND AUTHENTIC CORRSi;ONDENC.. Pints, MAncit: 5.---Our Liberals 'and your Radicals experience the same fete in Parliament; the Ministry has triumphant Majorities:against them ; the news of the Revolution of 'Madeira, has, however,- given a fillip to their --spirits, 'and no doubt we shall soon learn the positive pi-oef of the great progress of Liberty in a Revolution of the kingdom of Yactot (theGarrat of France) ; drown ng men will catch at straws, and who can blame them. They calculate Much on Signor Bia nAxin's presence here, as Spanish Ambassador; he cut a figure at home, like' W.AITiiMIN in the Common Council and the - Edmonton Vestry Meetings, and like him, we presume, will be, obliged to lower his crest when he comes in con tact with legislative - and diplomatic characters. The arrival of the Duke de Caz es has been announced in all the Journals, and the Hotel of his father-in-law, the Count de Sr. AGLAIRE, has beeri thronged with visitors, anxious to greet the arrival of this- great Statesman ; the cause of his delay has made a profound impression on the minds of the Public. A new regulation is proposed in the ClAamber of Deputies. A member called to order and censured by the Chamber is instantly to cut short his speech, and hear all the insult that can be heap. : ed on him without the liberty of replying or opening his Ups that day ; with all due submiSsion, NO think this proposal of the President a very ridiculous one, but it will nevertheless be adopted. And §o the events of Afadeira have produced a moral revo; lotion ; if it only tend to ameliorate the wines, we shall not regret it. We learn also that at Florence the Emperors of AUSTRIA and Rust 4, and the Kings of PRUSSIA and. NAPLE, are expected to, hold a Congress, and to which the King of SPAIN is invited ; lot what is perhaps more sur prizing is, that the letters of St. James's are pub lished at Florence, and permitted to be sold in Rome.

The Ship-ow ners 0 : the Port of Newcastle have also express- Pd their tm.;:ltiks publicly to JOSEPIt MARRYATT, 11 'Sq• p, fo l . the able and energetic manner in which he, as a Member of die Legislature, has s o o ft en advocated the case of the British Ship-owner, and the best interests of the nation, on the game question. A curious report is in tircaiation, that Mr. M.Vrnrws is about 'to ascend in the large Bal loon which was exhibited at the Lyceum sonic months back.--We trust that the report is un founded ; but should it prove true, must conjec ture that lie has exhausted his topics for amuse ment on earth, and intends attempting a collec tion of new ideas from the upper regions. In consequence of the insulting conduct of dis affected and unthinking persons, residents of York, to the Yorkshire Hussars, when on duty at that place, Lord Grantham and the officers have determined to assemble in future at Doacas ter for exercise, by which the innkeepers and shopkeepers of York will lose an expenditure of 50001.

The story is toleralily well expanded • into a dramai and the part of Tibbs -properly sketched: It was well supported by IlAnixy, and so wasi,he Farce altogether.— II its origin had been .known to -the audience, the name of GOLDSMITH might have insured it a more favourable reception. On its repetition we would advise the .Author to relieve the 0.4 House-keeper from her Scotch accent, which renders the piece in parts unintelligible. • COVENT-GARDEN. A . new piece, entitled Kenilworth Castle, was represented last night at this Theatre: As the title imports, it was ob viously derived from a new popular novel of that name. The subject, taken from the same source, has been dramatised at two of:the minor Thea tres with more success than it experienced last night,though several highly respected Performers were employed-on it. It was.announced for Sa turday, though amidst such turbulence that only those who. were very near the stage could hear the intimation. FOR THE SUN. COUNTY COUR'T'S' BILL. EDIToR-1 beg leave to trouble you with some few observations . on Lord ALTIIOIIPC3 County Court Bill. The County Court is a Court of very great antiquity, and is not only of great use for debts under 405., but also for debts .above that sum, by virtue of the writ of Justices. Lord ALTW) RPE should have been well advised by thuse. w ho 'are practically conversant in County Courts, before he ventured upon a Bill which .will hive for its effect the destruction of both branches of the jurisdiction ; for I believe the County Court Bill of Middlesex has, in effect, 'destroyed all proceedings for debts above the sum mentioned in the Act, except replevin suits. It is the fashion of the present day to inno vate and alter the established Law of England : unfortunately it is always difficult, and in many cases impossible, to retrace our steps, when once an innovation is made. The effect of the Gene ral Insolvent Act was soon shewn, by its spong ing off 15,000,0001. of debts, for which was re ceived one halfpenny in the pound, and an un profitable claim on future effects. Those who are accustomed to attend Courts of Request (on which the intended Court is modelled) must be fully aware of the increase,of perjury among the lower classes, from the single circumstance of the plaintiff being permitted to prove - his own case ; and how very improper such a tribunal is fin the discussion of legal questions ; and how frequently summary injuslice is done. It is calculated.that one-half of the difficult questions in We'stminster Hall arise upon de mands under 201. . . I object to the First,. As increasing in a very high degree the offence of perjury. - Secondly, As creating a most unfit tribunal for . the discussion of questions of law. Thirdly,' As • increasing litigation in a very higli• degree, for every cause will be tried — whereas at present not one in six is tried. . Fourthly, As destroying a most useful Court. If his Lordship had brought in a Bill for rendering more easy proceedings in County Courts—for placing in all cases a proper Judge in each Court, who ought to he a Barrister regu larly' educated for the Common Law Bar-Lfor having four days at least of trial of, CauSes in the year—for preventing vexatious writs and false judgment—his Lordship would have done a great public service. The great evil, at the present day, in the ad ministration of justice, arises froin the expences of WitnesScs often times doubling the casts : that his • Lordship has not effectually provided for; indeed, if Causes in the intended Courts are fully and legally examined, he will be found to have increased .very greatly - the number of wit nesses attendant in the year on Courts of Justice. Temple, March 5, 1841. • • A LAWYER. MARSHAL BauNE.The Moniteur contains a report of the trial of Guindon, alias Roquefort, found guilty of the, murder of Marshal Blum:. It was on the 2d of August 1815, this shocking event took place. On the morning of that day the Marshal and his suite were passing through Avignon, on their way from Marseilles to Paris. The carriage was stopped, and surrounded by an enraged multitude. They exclaimed, that he must suffer the fate of the• Duchess of IA AM BA L LE, whose head they charged him with having carried on the top of a pike. The civil • authori ties were unable to protect him. " He darted from his carriage and sought refuge in the Palais Royal Hotel , . The populace mounted the roof, and penetrated into the house. Having got a. view of the Marshal, they fired at him. On the second shot the bullet entered the back of his neck, and passed quite through. The Marshal fell dead. It was proposed to bury the body immediately ; but the populace interfered, and threw it into the river. Roquefort was one of the most violent and active among the populace.

ON'THE STATE OF THE SUGAR MADE IN RUSSIA; For some time east considerable inXiet has preVailed iii our SigAr Market, as to the inten tions of the Russian Government With respect to the Duties they intend to impose on the importti tion'Of Foreign Stigars; It appears' that various representations have been made to that Govern- ment on the subject, and we beg' leave to request the attention of our readers to the following do cument; as part of the serieS,which have been transmitted to this Country . FIRST MEMORIAL. " MAY IT PI,EASE YOUR EXCELLENCY, " You have deigned to intimate to the Sugar Refiners of this capital your desire that they 'should develope the measures which the Government might hereafter take to facilitate the im portation of raw Sugars, without injuring the Revenues of the State, or prejudicing the interests of the refineries. It is not till after mature reflection, that we have been able to accom plish this 'task, and if we venture to subriiit it to your judg ment, it is because we reckon confidently upon the high protec tion with which your Excellency vouchsafes to honour those whet employ themselves in a manner useful to the publia. " The beneficent measures adopted hitherto by the Govern ment, and the active care which it bestows on the encourage ment of national industry, in order to become more and more independent of foreign States, hate not only promoted the pub lic good, but have had a sensible influence on the imprOvemem o f our Refineries, which at present rival in quantity those of all u rope beside. England labours incesantly to augment its commercial capital by the products of its industry, which products it exerts itself to export in order to sell or exchange them for the un manufactured articles of other countries. We read in the pub lic Papers that, the English Government haS addressed to the Russian Government g Memorial, in order to induce the latter to place the crush lumps, with regard to the duties, in the same class with raw sugars. Doubtless the anxiety which England evinces on this subject only proves the real interest which every Government has in protecting to the utmost of its power the national industry.. At present the manufactured article is not adniitted here to importation---this is , Certainly a disadvange to England ; . but it is certainly an advantage to Russia, as we shall prove in the sequel. " We do not see what reason England can have to complain. Did she not set the first example of the prohibitive system, by imposing an exhorbitant duty on many of our manufactured goods, amounting in some instances to 100 per cent. (.which is really nothing short of a prOhibition) and in other cases charging 15 'per cent. for the mere transit duty, as on our sail-cloths, ravenducks, and sheeting, which articles, if destined for con sumption in England, have various. duties, from 40 to 90 per cent. The duties to which the lumps are subjected cannot pre vent the English from importing to us sugars; and whether they import raw sugars, or refilled sugars of the first quality, they ' will still find the trade profitable. They cannot deny this asser tion; for they have this year imported More of them than in preceding years. Nevertheless it is clear that we can not only do without their lumps, but their refined sugars also. Most of' the English refiners make nothing but lumps, which require little time or trouble. For these they have always found an easy and advantageous sale in our country, and it is very natural that they should endeavour by all means to preserve so beneficial a market. Our last tariff has a little-disconcerted them, since it impOscs on the lumps the same duty as on the refined sugars—a prudent Measure on the part of our Government, which per ceives how necessary . it is not to protect foreign industry at the expence of national Industry ! A more extended commerce has this year begun to be opened with the Ilavannah, Brazil, and a number of other co lonies, which of necessity must hereafter take a large quantity of our raw materials, as well as of our, manufactured commo dities: If the importation of lumps were permitted, that of Brazil sugars would immediately cease, as would our general relations with those countries, which present to Russia an ex tremely important interest. " It cannot be denied, that the l'ireponderance of the Ame rican commerce. with us 'over that of England is every, day more sensibly felt. Our commercial connexions with that interesting quarter of the globe have in this single year exhibited a pro gression no. less striking than satisfactory, as may be seen by the , following Table : 1819. 18'29. Without the Tariff existing till Tariff. September only. - Iron Hemp, first quality.....: 133,345 ' 1 25,000 Ditto, 2d Sail Cloth . 17,421 Ravenduck - 17,500 . Sheeting - 39,500. " This advance is owing entirely to the new Tariff,. which has encouraged the merchant shippers .of those countries tatrade directly to our ports, bringing their raw sugars,• which they for-' merly used to discharge on their passage, and to exchange them, fin the productions of other nations. At present they come and exchange with us their raw. sugars, not only for our raw pro duce, such as iron, hemp, &c., 'but principally for. many of our. manufactured commodities, such as sail cloth, ravenduck, sheet ing, &c., which are almost entirely bought by the Americaris This encourages and causes greatly to flourish our national in dustry in general, at the same, time that it adds particularly to. the prosperity of our refineries. Our • commerce with the Ame ricans then is a very real andaa very great benefit ; since they take the produce of the country raw or unmanufactured, to the. whole amount of their importations, and consequently this trade in no degree injures the course of the exchange. • " It is manifest, then, that if the crushed lumps enjoyed the same advantage as the raw sugars, in short, if the duty on both were the same, the result would be, that our commerce with America would really suffer ; and under the denomination of crushed lumps there would soon be introduced refined sugars of the first quality, which would only pay. the seine duties . as raw sugar. The advantage which this would occasion to Eng- ' land is too palpable N require from us any reflections. We shall, therefore, content ourselves .with proving the real advan tage of the existing duties, both on the raw and on the, refined sugars. " The difference. of the existing prices on refined and raw sugars is so material, that patriotic speculators may still under take the establishment of refireeriea, thus embarking their capi tal in them, by which means the donceutethat was hitherto paid to foreigners would remain in effect to the country ; while per sons of small property would be relieved from' the . necessity of mixing up . their .spirits with sweet syrup, and the Govihmment -be - enabled to augment its revenues; as well respecting the great quantity of raw sugars which might be imported, as also by, the exportations to be reckoned on account of America. ." If due attention he given to 'the commercial operations of the present year, together with the amount of the direct duties, we shall immediately be convinced of the truth of this exposition. In vain will it be objected, that if, Miring last year, the English imported a great auantity of Crushed lumps, they, inexchange, exported a greater quantity 'dour productions, which would not happen if the number of lumps was limited. . . . " The proof of the contrary exists; since even. this year they have exported a much greater quantity, especially of tallow, than they did the preceding . year. - Thus the duties imposed upon lomps,• have neither injured the commerce with England, nor the revenues of the State. " If the English had still continued to import us luinps, we should then necessarily have been obliged to pay them by, remit tances, which would infallibly have injured the course of ex change. If they had diminished the fixed duties on the lumps. the Americans would be discouraged for the future from import ing their sugars raw, which Would make their importation very' interior to what it was last year; as experience sufficiently proves, if we take the trouble to compare the amount of last year's im portation with that of the pYeslit, year. The diminution of du ties would not only then be unfavourable to, the sugar refineries of the country, but give a serious blow to our commerce with America. The result of this would bean importation ofrefined crlishecl.sugars of all qualities, and principally of the best, and the revenues of the State would sensibly diminish ; for it is worthy of remark, that although the duties imposed 'on lhe - raw sugars are only half of what they formerly were, yet the inipOr.: tation of them has been so great, that Government has reccired more duties then the prec'eding years, and their receipts will ja - fallibly increase every year. The acknowledged principle int political economy, that the greater the quantity of merchandise. the lower its price,. will be realized. If, in short,, an imp.orta tion of refined crushed sugars took place, the SIV;F:7 refineries. of the country. would no longer exist e for the manufacturers would find no market for their mixed („e/ s) nor their lumps; with out which, ho'kever, no sugar refineries can he carried ou ; in a short time many considerable, citpita:s would fall off from 'the circulation, And the general interest would unquestionably suf.: fcr from it. .People would be surprised if they knew the enorm ous sums Which are expended in the refining . of sugars, while the advantages derived from these sugar refineries are so great; that all the other States of Europe have turned their consideration to this department of political economy, and have determined to prohibit entirely the impartation of refined sugars, or at- least have imposed upon them such immense duties because the re fining O the raw material reqUires neither art: nor talent, and may be carried on every where with stixess.. Phis serves.. to, explain the motives, which have,..tfiduceo States to act so vigorously, friiin which Russia has obtained re fined sugars tithing So long A time, It is natural enough that they should see with regiTt that this branchof industry is about to he inatehed froM them by the wise and film measnees Of our Government. It'otighf to be observed, that since the new tariff the nuns .bei of refineries has considerably augmented, and will still con dude to increase. This competition will not only contribute to perfecting the art of refining sugar, but sal finally reduce re fined Sugars to.a - very Moderate price. It cannot be denied, since experience has , proved it, that crushed lumps have been imported under the denomination of raw sugar; and the means of entirely abolishing this contraband still remains an .enigma ; but everY thing proves that the measures taken by government; and which are now in use, .give much less countenance to the fraud, than if the crushed lumps .were put into the same class with the ray . sugars 'for refined crushed Sugars of the first qua.- lity are fraudulently imported tinder the name of lumps, and /min this results a very great consumption, which perceptibly injures the revenues of the CrOwn, at the same time that it ex cites areal prejudice against the sugar refiners, whose activity; while it causes national 'industry to flourish, makes the great sums which daily flow into the great public circulation, return in the most beneficial way to the industrious classes. The pre sent state of things is-of' very greAt triterest to the poorer classes, who will procure syrups at a very moderate price, which will aftbrd them real comfort. Filially, We presume that all these reasons, joined to the ruin of all our eitablishments for refining, founded at agreat expence, • will be motives sufficiently ,power ful to detennine sour Governnient to persist in the wise resolu tions which it has taken,,. : - Nl 7 eare now, my ard, only desirous that you will receive this exposition graciodSly ; and while ydu continue to honour tu4 with your protection, believe us to be, With the most profound rsepc .
