He wilfully closed his eyes to the actual state of affairs, and chose to ascribe his own decisive and humiliating discomfiture to a cause which a moment's consideration might have shown him was not the true one. He yielded, because in that year of revolutions he could not venture to disregard the voice of public opinion, or to treat it with the con temptuous indifference which he had previously, and has on many occasions subsequently exhibited. But " He who complies against his will, Is of the same opinion still." The Minister of Finance was conquered, us d n e o l t io con vinced ; he clung obstinately to his cherished and if he were influenced by any consideration or reason whatsoever in forming the " conclusion " at which he arrived, if it were not a mere chance, like the haphazard move of a child in playing i with the pieces at chess, although understanding nothing of the combinations at which he should aim —it was his defeat in 1848 that increased his obsti nacy in 1851, and rendered it invincible. Once more, we tell Sir CHARLES Wool), that the true causes of the opposition to the increase of the impost were-Ist, that the necessity for such an in crease, or for any addition of any kind or description to the national burdens, was not recognised. The public income p , u e b Ni i e c natthatperie .f d, was amply suffi cient for the expenditure, due economy were exercised and the wanton and profligate extravagance that had prevailed in some of the departments decisively discouraged. 2dly. The atrocious injustice of the existing system had even then deeply exasperated the people. Active steps were taken to prevent any addition to the charge unless an equitable adjustment were at the same time entered into. Meetings were held in all parts of the country, at which the argu- ments of the various speakers were directed against the gross impropriety, the crying grievance, of equally assessing all descriptions of incomes, no mat ter how obtained or from what sources de rived. Few objected to a property-tax, if it were required for the liquidation of the national lia bilities or the maintenance of the national establishments, but they believed that it was not essen tial to the well-being of the country, and that the re fusal to sanction it would have a very salutary effect ; and even if it could not be done without, it should be materially modified before it could receive any further confirmation that could give it•additional strength or stability. Sir CHARLES WOOD, has, however, totally disre garded these obvious considerations ; the greater por tion of his speech in introducing "the precious Budget" was directed to prove the superiority of direct taxa tion, and the advantages of the income-tax, but there was no argument to show that the present arrangement was just or equitable, or that the party who earns 300/. per annum, by excessive and health-destroying la bour, mental or bodily—or who acquires it by a pre carious speculation, in which his entire capital is risked—is in as good a position as the owner of 10,0001. in the Three per Cents. or of 3001. a year from ground-rents payable out of property of ten times the value. That might have been rather a difficult task, and the Right Hon. Baronet altogether passed it by on the first occasion ; and even on in troducing the amended Budget he merely con descended to say that he " had considered the matter, read various publications respecting it, and had ARRIVED AT THE CONCLUSION," &C., &O.

The real state of public feeling with respect to the - property and incolne-tax has never been fairly_ repre sented within the walls o f P arliament. There h as been a wilful m i sc onception, not only on the part of the CHANCELLOR of the .EICHEQUER and of those who support his views, and vote in favour of his fina nc i a l crotchets, but also of his opponents in the li ons; who ride off on a collateral issue, making the ques tion one of income-tax or no income-tax, in place o f - being whether it shall be maintained in its present unjust -and oppressive form, or equitably and fairly adjusted according to the actual circumstances of each contri butor. Sir CHARLES WOOD appears to think, per haps we should rather say pretends to appear to think, THE S It would really seem as if he thought his fame and character as a financier were so high that his unsup ported opinion should remove all objections ; that the mere announcement of his decision should operate as an argumentum ad verecundiam that should instantly silence all opponents. But in this respect he has reckoned without his host. Although he may con trive for a time to evade the real point in dispute, it will eventually be forced on his attention, and on the attention of the Legislature in a mode that cannot be misunderstood or avoided. Within a few days the topic must be decided, so far as the present Parlia ment is concerned. Even in the House of Commons it will be brought forward and fully discussed. There will be a division, and the lists of the absen tees and voters in the majority and minority will be closely scrutinised at the approaching general election, which may not be so very far distant as some persons desire to believe. If the problem do not receive a fitting solution in Parliament, it will be placed in the way of adjustment on the hustirigs. The fiscal reformers possess considerable power, and if they only please to exer- cise it they may materially influence the various con stituencies at the forthcoming contests. We have for some time endeavoured to stimulate them into acti- vity, and if our exertions have not been altogether successful, if the atrocious system is to be continued in its present monstrous form for a further term, it will not be through any default of ours, but rather through the carelessness and apathy of those who might, but would not, have provided a suitable remedy. But this apathy will be shaken off, and if so powerful an incentive to activity be added, as the revival of Schedule D, without any modification, we venture to affirm that the result will be a change in the condition of parties that will astound Whig and Tory. The liberal portion of the constituency of Bristol, and the liberal Member for that city, Mr. HENRY pERKELEY, have set an example which it would be well that other liberal constituencies and other liberal Members should follow. The constituency during the course of the last winter invited their Member to de liver a lecture to them on the subject of the ballot, of which he is now the leading advocate in Parliament ; the invitation was accepted, and on Monday evening a meeting was held, at which the lecture was deli vered. We are rejoiced to find that the thoughtful portion of our large constituencies still con tinue of opinion that the ballot is the most important of all the measures of re form that can be proposed. Ardently as we desire to see an extension of the suffrage, we still more ardently desire to see the protection of the ballot given to the exerciser of that suffrage, con vinced that, while an extension of the suffrage with out the ballot would be a reform in name rather than in fact, inasmuch as those to whom it would be in that case extended would in many instances refuse to exercise it lest they should subject themselves to mob vengeance on the one hand, or to landlord ven geance on the other, the enactment of the ballot would practically extend the suffrage in a much greater degree than even the enactment of household suffrage without the ballot could possibly extend it ; and as a proof of this we adduce the evidence of Mr. MINTZ, who stated in his place in Parliament that, in the borough of Birmingham alone, a thousand persons possessed of the franchise had refused to ex ercise it, because it would injure their prospects. The opponents of the ballot reply, that the voter should cast all personal considerations aside, and boldly record his vote, albeit at the cost of considerable personal sacrifice. The fallacy and the impudent wickedness of such an a_ r gument is transparent, more especially when we find that " tlaelsullies of politics," as they are pro perly d esignated by the Honourable Member for Bristol, w h o use it are the very men who in their clubs and r e unions invariably asa defencethemselves against claim tb e the protection of the ballot bul lies of society ; but what do these gentlemen say to the case of Mr. CHAMBERLAIN, the inventor of the ballot machine whi • ch is to be exhibited at the Crystal Palace ? Mr. C RAM BERL AIN is, as Mr. HENRY BERKELEY stated i n his lecture, on Thursday, the son of an hotel -keeper at St. Leo nard's, and he has never dared to exercise his fran chise lest he should injure his father's interests. Now surely, although the " bullies of politics" may sneer at the man who abstains from voting out of regard to his own personal interest, they cannot but admit that no man has a right to jeopardize the interests of others, and that in cases such as that of Mr. CUAMBER LAIN, the protection of the ballot is essentially called for. To the electors in esse or in posse the ballot is the one thing needful, without which every other e l ec t ora l reform is a " mockery, a delusion, and a snare ;" but those same elec tors must, at the same time, thoroughly understand that it is only by their own exertions they can obtain that protection. All men who pos•- seas and exerc b d • e un ue Influence, whether as We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The National Assembly met on Thursday, and rejected, by a majority of 403 to 226, the proposition of M. PASCAL DUPRAT for authorizing the sale in the street of all public journals. The Western Rail way Bill was read a first time. The following feeler appears in the Constilutionnel, in the shape of a letter addressed to the editor : " I am neither Legitimatist, nor Orleanist, nor Bona partist, and, I might even add, nor Republican; by which I mean to say that lam no party man. lam an iron -master; I manufacture iron, and I wish to sell it. I employ a number of workmen, and I hope that the times will not become so bad as to compel me to dis charge and see them die from starvation, for I have been a workman myself, and have witnessed their misery. I belong to that party which can give order and restore confidence. I ask you, therefore, whether a Government which is renewed every four years, and which is the beau ideal of instability, can suit the country? Are you aware, air, that already business is at a stand, that all credit, all speculation, and all orders aro suspended, and that in a short time the whole commerce of France will by paralysed? It will be impossible that: such a state of things can continue for a year without our poor country falling under it. Here we comprehend nothing of the pulley which is carried on in Paris; we ask ourselves why a President and a majority devoted to the cause of order cannot come to an understanding as to the means of getting out of this embarrassment. In reply we are told that the Constitution is opposed to it, and that if, in order to save the country, the majority and the Presi dent in accord should submit to the ratifi. cation of the people more stable institutions, it would be considered as a political crime ! By whom ? By the people who would be the judges of it ? That cannot be serious. What ! the simple majority may suppress taxes, decree the right to labour, declare war, ruin the country, and cause the greatest misfortunes to the people, and yet that same majority would not have the power to restore peace and employ ment to the people ; and that because, in 1848 a certain Lumber of unknown men and chance legislators con sidered themselves to hove a right to bind the future fate of France, by a form of election which left not the slightest option to the people I Excuse the expression, but this was par trop Lae, end I doubt whether any two memters of the Constituent Assembly can look at each other without laughing. It would be really curious to see the demagogical party which has never respected anything, and which has overthrown all Governments, now set itself up as the apostles of legality, and oppose it self to an appeal to the nation, after having always pro claimed that all rights were summed up in the sovereignty of the people. God alone knows how we shall he got out of this mess, and guilty will they be who, if they have the power, do not make use of it. The country will severely condemn them. In the name of the work ing classes, I declare that this state of marasmus cannot be prolonged without incalculable evils. Industry and commerce cannot thus clue up their sails or lie-to for a year without the most serious consequences; some reso lution must, therefore, be come to as quickly as possi ble to get us out of this state of uncertainty. It is be cause you have taken up the defence of the popular in terests with so much intelligence and vigour that I take the liberty of submitting to you these reflections, autho rising you to make what use you please of them. Now, sir, you will, perhaps, ask me: But what is your solu tion ? It is very simple ; it is that the Assem bly should immediately prolong the powers of the President of the Republic to ten years ; that it should reform some absurd and weak points in our institutions, and submit the whole to the rati fication of the people. We should then have the future before us, work would again revive, and we should all be saved. In this case you will tell me lam a Bona partist—but that is not the case. The cause and the person are indifferent to me, although I render every justice to the President. The great affair is that ho is now in office, and thus half of the work is done; it is more easy to maintain him there than to replace him. In short, sir, my principal reason is this—lf I were to assemble the workmen and the peasants, the real people, as they are sometimes called, and were to begin crying Viva Henri V.,' or Vivo lo Comte do Pails,' they would be angry, or remain silent; but if I cried 'Vive Napoli:on,' they would join in it. Some might cry Vive la Sociale,' but the great majority would join in my cry. This is the only name which has yet found an echo in the masses. Lot the great politicians of Paris themselves draw the conclusion trom this. Accept, Monsieur, the assurance of my distinguished conside ration, "ANTOINE MOREL, IrOßMaSter." All the journals, except those immediately con nected with the Elyse, express great indignation at the demand made by the Minister of War for a credit of 245,833 francs for Marshal JEROME BONA PARTE, being the amount of the half-pay of a general of division, from the Ist of January, 1816, to the time that he was replaced on the Army list in 1848. The Siecle says— "M. derome Bonaparte was proscribed ; France, emancipated by the Revolution of 1848, opened her gates to him ; she made his nephew President of the Republic; he, in his turn, raised M. Jerome Bonaparte to the dignity of Marshal of France, with a double salary of 70,000 franca a-year. But M. Jerome Bona parte is not satisfied; he forgets the deplorable state of our finances; he forgets that the Republic treated him as a spoiled child; and the Ministry slips secretly into a Bill a demand of 245,833 francs for him. If M. Jerome Bonaparte were in the position of the general officers who were proscribed after the Hundred Days, when the law of the 4th of May, 1834, restored them the pay of which they had been deprived during the Restoration, we could understand the demand. But M. Jerome Bonaparte receives the salary of Marshal of France ; he is Governor of the Invalides ; and it is in this position, unhoped for by him, that he wishes to levy on the mass of tax-payers, who are already so poor, an impost of about 250,000 f. The Emperor, when alive, would never have permitted one of his brothers to prey on the budget of France in such a way. If only out of respect for the memory of his brother, M. Jerome Bonaparte ought to have abstained. It is now the turn of M. Lucien Murat I How many millions does he want ?" The Opinion Publique, on the same subject, says:— " This claim appears to us to have been kept back too long, and to be very humble if it is founded on right, and very inopportune if it is only the prelude to other more important Napoleonian claims of which much has been said in the public press. We might have a better right than anybody to object to this exceptional demand of credits; we, who victims of political laws of circum stance, have heard the Minister of War promise, as a charity, a small portion of what he demands as a right for the uncle of the President of the Republic. We prefer abstaining. Between the opposition of the Mi nister to the taking into consideration the proposition of MM. La Broise and La Rocbvjaquelein, and his demand in favour of the ex-King of Westphalia, pablie opinion will decide." At the last sitting of the Parliamentary Club of the Rue des Pyramide9, M. DE BROGLIE in the chair, it was decided that the members should give their firm support to the Government on all the subjects now down on the order, ,of the day for discussion. After the sitting, the greatest part of the gentlemen present went to the receptions of the Ministers of the Interior and of Public Instruction. It is in contemplation, says the Dgbots, to send the band of the 9th Dragoons to London, during the Ex hibition, as a specimen of the military music of France. M. SAX, who is the manufact urer o f th e greater number of the musical instruments used by such bands, was the first to originate the idea, and has made an application to the Minister of War on the subject, which has been warmly supported by M. C. Durex, the President of the French com- mittee. The Toulonnais says—" We believe that we can announce the approaching departure from Brest for the Mediterranean of the squadron under the orders of Admiral PARSEVAL. This departure is at present fixed for the 25th of this month."_ _ - There was a large quantity of money stock offe-ed for sale at the Bourse, tend prices declined.

The introduction of the ballot would be a death blow to all illegitimate influences : the rich man would no longer be able to bribe, because he could never as certain whether or not he had had his quid pro quo ; the tyrant landlord and the tyrant cus tomer would be no longer able to intimidate, nor the priest to denounce ; therefore the corrupt and the tyrannical of all parties will oppose the ballot by every means in their power, and as among the leaders of every party the corrupt and the tyran nical are to be found, it is useless to look to them for assistance. The electors must, themselves, achieve their own emancipation, and they have it in their power to do so whensoever they may be so minded. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. RDAY EVENING, APRIL 26, 1851. SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 20th have arrived. The Heraldo, the organ of NARVAEZ, had been seized by order of the Government. The Nation contradicts from authority the rumour that ESPARTERO was about again to enter public life. The veteran has no intention of leaving his quiet retreat at Logrono. The Bolsa was closed. GERMANY. The German Journal of Frankfort, of the 23d, says :—" It is announced in the best informed circles that the Germanic Diet will resume its labours by the 15th of next month, at the latest. Bavaria will be represented in the Diet by M. DoENNIGER, who re• places General XILANDER. The Grand Duchy of Baden will be represented by the ex-Minister DE KLUBER." The New Prussian Gazette, of the 23d, says : " The last note of the Cabinet of Vienna is couched in the most conciliatory terms. It even assumes the initiative as to certain propositions. As to the objec tions raised by the Prussian Cabinet to the admission of Austria with all her states into the Germanic Con federation, the Cabinet of Vienna admits them only partially." The Prince of PRUSSIA is to visit the King of the BELGIANS for a few days, before proceeding to the Exhibition at London. It is stated in a letter from Munich of the 20th, that the King of GREECE will leave in a few days for Athens, but will on his way visit Vienna and Rome. The official Gazette of Vienna, of the 19th, pub lishes an Imperial decree, extending to the Lombardo- Venetian provinces the income-tax for 1851. This measure will render possible the suppression of the forced circulation of Treasury bills, and the return to metallic circulation ; also the reduction from 50 to 33, one-third per cent. of additional duties on land and houses. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. A letter from Vienna in a Hamburgh journal states that fresh negotiations have been opened between the Courts of Vienna, Berlin, and St. Petersburgh, on the subject of the succession to the throne of Denmark, the hereditary Grand Duke of OLDENBURG having refused to accept the crown, if the rights of the duchies be not fully guaranteed. The .Hamburgh Correspondent says that the Cabinet of Berlin has given to General Vox TRUMAN instruc tions, according to which he is to protest against the intention of Denmark to consider the Holstein federal contingent as an integral part of the Danish army, and to furnish it with Danish officers. Secondly, against the project of nominating Danish function aries in Holstein. Thirdly, against the translation of the customs frontier from the Elbe to the Eider, and the introduction of the Danish customs system into Holstein; and, lastly, against the systematic separa tion of Schleswig and Holstein in those cases where they have the right of being united. SWEDEN. STOCKHOLM.—The Chamber has voted the aboli tion of the customs privileges which were enjoyed by the Transatlantic commerce. They have provision. ally rejected the abolition en masse of the prohibitive duties, reserving to themselves the power of submit ting each article to a separate discussion. CABINET COUNCIL.—(THIS DAY.)—The Ministers re-assembled in Council for the first time since the recess this afternoon, at one o'clock, at the Foreign-office, when the following Ministers attended :—Lord J o hn R usse ll, Premier; the Marquis of Lansdowne (who has arrived in town from Ventnor, Isle of Wight), the Marquis of Clanricarde, the Lord Chancellor (who joined his colleagues from his court), the Right Hon. Sir George Grey, the Chancellor of the Ex. chequer, Viscount Palmerston, Earl Grey, Lord Broughton de Gyfford, the Right Hon. H. Labouchere (who a r r i ve d in town this morning from his villa at Chislehurst), and the Right Hon. Fox Maule. The Council were sitting when we went to press. NEW RAILWAY.—It is understood that influential parties have formed a company for completing the narrow gauge system in the Midland districts. The intended rail way is to commence at Oxford, in connexion with the Ox ford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton and O x f or d, Birming ham, and Rugby, and to join the South-Western, near the Andover-road Station. The length of line to construct would be 45 miles. The country has been surveyed under the direction of Mr. Hamilton Fulton, the engineer, who re ports that an easy and efficient line can be made for much less than 500,0004 at the present unprecedentedly low prices of labour and materials. It is considered that the facilities which such a communication would afford to the postal and mercantile interests would be a great boon to Manchester, Birmingham, Southampton, and the Midland districts. Meetings have been held, which show that the local interests are willing to give the undertaking their earnest support. BATTY'S HIPPODROME, AT KENSINGTON. The Hippodrome, which is being built on a plot of ground at the corner of the Victoria-road, for Mr. Batty, is making rapid progress. It is an oval, called 500 feet by 400 feet (it looks scarcely so large), and will accommodate 14,000 persons. The seats, of which there are six or seven ranges all round, are roofed over; the enclosed area is open to the sky. The entrance for the horses is at the south end, and over this is the gallery for music. Blue and white are the colours used for decoration; externally, the sides as well as the roof of the building being slated, the appearance is not very pre possessing. The public entrance is by a compoed archway of three openings, formed in the Kensington-road, which has in the frieze some small Roman figures on horseback, and is otherwise adorned with flying horses. Mr. G. L. Taylor is the architect, and Messrs. Haward and Nixon are the con tractors employed. —Builder. THE VACANT ALDERMANIC GOWN.—In accordance with a practice which prevails in the City, the senior member of the Court of Aldermen will succeed to Bridge Without, rendered vacant by the death of Sir Claudius Hunter, the office being a sinecure. The oldest living alderman is Wm. Thompson, Esq., M.P., who will consequently resign the ward of Cheap, which he npw represents. For the vacancy thus treated several candidates are spoken of'. It was cur rently stated yesterday afternoon that a requisition would be presented to Mr. Ambrose Moor, of Milk-street, offering the support of the electors to him in the event of his coming forward for the vacancy. Amongst others spoken of are Mr. DonaldNicoll, of,Cornhill, the late sheriff, and Mr.J. Pilcher, who was on a previous occasion an unsucce ss f u l can did ate for one of the civic wards. No publi c add ress h as, up to the p r esent time, been issued by either of the candidates, and it is not probable that any step will be taken until after the funeral of Sir Claudius Hunter. Alderman Thompson, M.P., is now " Father of the Corporation," having been elected in 1821. The three aldermen next in rotation are Sir John Key, Bart., elected in 1823, Sir Peter Laurie, elected in 1826, and Alderman Farebrother, elected in 1826. RESIGNATION OF JOHN SIMEON, Esq., M.P. FOR THE ISLE OF WIGHT.--Mr, Simeon's vote on the Popish question gave serious offence to many of his friends in the island, and it has for some time been rumoured th at t h ey proposed calling on him to resign, to which was added that he had not only deserted his constituents but the faith of his fathers, and had become a member of the Roman Catholic Church. To-day comes an announcement that he has re signed, and that his parting address to his constituents will appear to-morrow, and also that he has seceded from the Protestant Church. CAUTlON.—Landlords will do well to be on their guard against bewhiskered foreigners, who are coming over in shoals, and some of them have commenced the plunder of John Bull in a very unceremonious manner. A fellow calling himself F. Hermaunstein, a Dane, fared sumptuously at the Great Northern Hotel, Lincoln, for four days, and then disappeared without paying his bill, leaving behind him a carpet bag, which he was unable to get away without being seen by the family. When at Lincoln, Mr. Moyes, the land lord of the Great Northern, put himself to much trouble to show the stranger all that was worth seeing in the city, and drove him out into the country, so that the fellow's conduct is the more disgraceful. The same individual afterwards went to Boston, and victimised an unfortunate innkeeper there. On Thursday morning some workmen were en gaged painting the fronts of the houses in the Quadrant, and one of the men ascended the ladder for the purpose of getting one of his brushes previous to removing the ladder, and had unfastened the rope which had been attached to the railings, when, in descending, the ladder slipped on one side, and pre cipitated him to the pavement, killing him on the spot, at the same time knocking down two young ladies, and break ing the leg of one of them. TUE CAMBRIDGE MILITARY ASYLUM.--We have great pleasure in announcing that his Majesty the King of Hanover has remitted the swat of 300 guineas as his contri bution to the funds of the Cambridge Military Asylum, in memory of his late royal brother, for widows of non-com missioned officers and privates of her Majesty's land forces. FATAL ACCIDENT.—WORCESTER, THURSDAY.-- A shocking and fatal accident has happened at the Spetchley statioreof the Bristol and Birmingham Railway, within four miles of this city. Since the opening of the branch line from Abbots-wood, near Spetchley, to Worcester, the Spetchley station has been used chiefly as a goods station, and on Tuesday night a goods train arrived there in due course, when some alterations were required to be made in it—the addition or subtraction of some trucks. The guard of the goods train was a young man named Edwin Butler, whese general duties were those of a station porter, and he was somewhat inexperienced in his new duties. He was in the act of adjusting some luggage vans in the train when, by some mischance, he got between the buffers of two carriages, and the carriages being pushed together, he was crushed be tween the buffers in a horrible manner, and killed on the spot. The deceased was a steady young man, and resided with his parents, who keep a small public-house on the Gloucester road, Che:tenham. He was unmarried., At the inquest held at Spetchley before Mr. W. S. P. Hughes, coroner, a verdict of" Accidental death" was returned. NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, FRIDAY.—The coroner's investigation concerning the mysterious death of Elizabeth Anderson, a widow, whc died from the effects of essential oil of almonds, concluded last evening. A great mass of evi dence was taken, and the coroner having summed up, the jury found as their verdict, " That the deceased came to her death by receiving into her stomach a larg e quantity of essential oil of almonds; but whether taken by herself, or administered by others, there was no evidence to show." The magistrates immediately liberated Mr. Jenkins and Mrs. Wilde. THE AMERICAN MAILS.-.SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY, APRIL 25.—The United States' mail steam-ship Hermann, Captain E. Crabtree (vhich arrived at this port from Bremen on Tuesday las:), sailed this afternoon for New York with the Americas contract mails. She takes out between 50 and 60 passengers, and a small freight of merchandise, principally from Germany and France. The steam-ship Franklin, from Havre, en route to New York, is to leave Cowes on the 7th proximo; and the Wash ington, Captain G. W. Floyd, is expected at Cowes, on her way to Bremen, wish the United States' mails, about the 3d or 4th proximo, being appointed to leave New York on the 19th instant. Th e new steam-ship Humboldt, the second ship of the New York, Southampton, and Havre mail line, is appointed to leave New York, on her first voyage, on the 3d of May. A machine for cleaning shoes has been invented and patented by a Devonshire person. It sets in motion two brushes, by one of which the dirt is removed and by the other the DiAcluPg 14 Applied sad burnished. TEE SHARE MARKETS BRITISH RAILWAYS. Paid. Nodal Prices. Railways.

The gradual extension of the principle of self-govern ment to our colonial possessions is working great changes in the feeling of their respective inhabitants, and is more than ever likely to bind them to their adopted soil. There are increased duties and responsibilities, however, along with the privileges tendered. Earl Grey has com menced in the West Indies by granting municipal insti tutions to the principal towns, thus, as we are advised in the accounts received yesterday, George Town in De merara, Port of Spain in Trinidad, and New Castries in Saint Lucia, enjoy corporate rights. The first election for town councillors, sei they are termed, for Castries, took place there on the 27th February, when nine councillors and two auditors were elected. The Lieutenant-Governor was endeavouring to prevail on the Legislative Council to pass a permanent revenue law, or to grant a fixed revenue for the support of the civil government of the colony. Ile is reported in the newspapers to have said in the Council, that " by refer ence to Parliamentary papers lying on the table, it would be seen that all the other islands embraced in the wind ward command, with the exception of St. Lucia, had their tariffs of unlimited duration; and the object of the present measure was to secure the Customs' and tonnage duties of that island upon the same permanent basis, the revenue arising from them being applied to the mainte nance of a civil list and the administration of justice. The principle of making the imports ordinance a per manent measure was recommended by the Secretary of State; and the necessity of providing for the mainte nance of the civil government by something more than an annual Bill, must be apparent to all. This proposal was not altogether agreeable but it is believed the ordinance would pass for five or seven years, the latter period being that which was agreed upon in Demerara. Certainly trade must suffer by frequent changes in Revenue Bills. The following is an extract of a letter received by the Ccimmittee of Spanish American Bondholders, from their agent. Mr. Lord, dated Laguayra, March 25, 1851 : " The interval between this and my last, of the 10th instant, has produced an important movement in favour of the bondholders, viz., the introduction in Congress of a project of law for continuing for two years more, with exclusive application to the payment of the four years' interest due on the foreign debt to the Ist of April en suing, the contribution extraordinary that has been in operation since the 2d of May, 1849, and will expire on thet 2d of May next. The law is waiting a third reading in l the Lower Chamber, having, after a long discussion, been unanimously approved on the second reading. "This contribution produced in the financial year ending on the 30th of June last the sum of 520.055 dol lars. The exclusive application met with some opposi tion, and this is part of what Senor Monzon, Chairman of the Finance Committee, said in the session of the 12th instant. " Sir, we are not ashamed to act honestly; the pro ject has for its object to reestablish our credit lost in consequence of the non-fulfilment of our promised en gagements, and the . National Congress will not ray any thing derogatory to its dignity by telling the foreign creditors • there is now a gurantee fur the payment of whit is due to you.' " Before the result of the second reading had reached me, I had prepared another representation to Congress in reference to this extraordinary constitution, and in support of its exclusive appropriation. On the same day, and the coincidence is somewhat remarkable, her Ma jestY's Chargo d'Affaires was also empl o y e d in addressing tc4the Minister fir Foreign Affairs a strong, energetic re monstrance, in reply to a dispatch from that Minister, Senor Steres, dated the 13th, in regard to the bondhol ders' claims. Thus do we at last appear to be gaining ground; and if public tranquillity be only preserved, I trust proof will soon be given that the present adminis tration is sincere in its desire to satisfy the foreign cre ditors of the Republic." The letters from the textile manufacturing districts report trade as being dull. The exports of bullion direct from London this week, and to Thursday, have been 3,623 ounces in gold coin to Hamburgh and Bigium, 5,800 oz. in silver coin, 150 oz. in gold bars to Dinkirk, and 107 oz. in gold and silver bars to Hamburgh. Public Securities are still very flat. Consols have been 961 to 97 for Transfer, and 964 to for Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents, have been 97 , and the Three per Cents. 96 to /.

The changes in the items of the Bank of England weekly balance-sheet, to the 19th instant, aro again of some importance. The amount of bullion was materially lessened, and this does not appear to have arisen from any increased demand for money, as the balances to pri vate individuals were larger. and the loans upon other securities were smaller.

It was stated by f. Whalley, that he called at the residence of Colet.i— order to pay him the money, but could not obtain an 1D terview with him f or t h at purpose, and that there W as no one at his pl ace o f a b ode empowered to receive the , money.

MANCHESTER AND SOUTH JEW.— In this ca se the COMPANY. railwaycompany appealed agsinethe assessment made on the railway by the assossors e s the poor fo r M anchester, on the ground that it svali a e .h the same r a t e as the assessment made on the land in f vicinity, which were of greater value than the land the company with the rails upon it. Mr. PEACOCK contended, on the part of the resPef dents, the overseers of the parish, that a railway On. pany had n o r i g h t t o d eprec i ate valuable land in a parit without paying the same rate of assessment as the lane' adjoining the railway. The Counp, with ou t ca lli ng on Si r F i tzroy Kelly, w ho appeared on behalf of the appellants, said they were opinion that land appropriated for a railway, under 9 . Aet of Parliament, could not be rated as if it were ~ 0 0 copied. The r a te s hould, th ere f ore, b e reduced.— J uu r ment for the appellants. COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DA - 3(4 (Sittings in Banco.) .
