DEATH OF ANOTHER FLAG-OFFICER. We regret to announce the death of Vice-Admiral of the Red Thomas Brown, Esq. Since his entry into the navy in April, 1782, he served on full pay 23 years. His first ship was the Alexander, 74. He was promoted to the rank of lieutenant Nov. 21, 1790. From February, 1793, to Dec., 1796, he next served in the Intrepid, 64, off St. Domingo, where he frequently lan , 'ed in command of a division of seamen to co-operate with the British troops in their warfare with Touissaint de I'Ouverture and other native chiefs in the French interest. In Februa r y , 1796, with the In trepid's boats under his orders, be cut out from a small cove near Porto Plata, on the north side of the island, La Percante, of 26 guns and a complement of nearly 200 men, all of whom fled on his approach. The prize was added to the British navy under the name of Jamaica. Mr. Browne's succeeding appointments were, as first lieutenant, to the Greyhound, 32, and Nymph, 36 ; 1799, to the Astrea, 32 ; January, 1800, to the Elephant, 74, where he was advanced to the command of the Chapman, armed ship, August 11, 1800. Captain Browne attained post rank April 29, 1802, but remained on half-pay until appointed, March 11, 1806, to the Tonnant, 80, as flag-captain to Rear- Admiral Eliab Harvey, then off Cape Finisterre ; after which we find him serving, in 1808.9, in the Sea Fencibles-from December, 1811, to December, 1812, successively in the Hannibal, Christian VII., and Aboukir, third-rates, flag-ships of Rear- Admirals Philip Charles Durham and Thomas Byam Martin, the latter of which he commanded at the siege of Riga and from May, 1813, to December, 1815, in the Ulysses, 44. While in that ship he was employed for some time in the Belt in protecting the' convoys passing to and from the Baltic • next, in December, 1813 , in co nve y in g the army under ' Sir Thomas Graham to the Scheldt; afterwards in escorting a large fleet of merchantmen to the West Indies ; and ultimately, as commodore, on the coast of Africa, where he destroyed the only two remaining British slave factories, and otherwise effectually contributed to the suppression of the negro traffic. On the escape of Bonaparte from Elba, he voluntarily convoyed home from St. Helena, to the great prejudice of his professional interests, a fleet of Indiamen, equal in value to 10,000,0001. sterling, and was in conse quence presented by the Honourable East India Company with a larger sum for the purchase of plate than had ever betore been voted to any captain. Vice-Admiral Browne, who had been on half-pay since the peace, became a rear admiral August 17, 1840, and acquired his late rank Dec. 11, 1846. He married the eldest daughter of the late Lieut. Michael Jenkins, R.N., who was lost, on July 29, 1811, during a violent gale off Antigua, in the Guachapin, 14, shortly after his promotion to the command of that vesseL By the death of Vice-Admiral Browne, Sir Samuel Pyra, K.C.8., becomes vice-admiral of the red, and H. M. Om manney becomes vice-admiral of the white; Rear-Admiral Arthur Lysaght is promoted to the rank of vice-admiral, J. B. Purvis becomes rear-admiral of the red, and Gordon Thomas Falcon becomes rear-admiral of the white. Captain John Carter (Dec. 7, 1815) succeeds to his flag, having a good service pension to the disposal of the First Lo d, and Captain the Hon. George Frederick Hotham (June, 1828) succeeds to the senior half-pay list, and Captaiq E. H. Scott (1838) to the half-pay list of 12s. 6d. per diem. The Hon. Josceline Percy, C. 8., is now the senior rear admiral for promotion ; and Captain Henry Meynell (1816) is the senior captain on the active list for promotion. Rear-Admiral Carter is not the commander of the Cale. donia, 120, in the Mediterranean, as stated, but is the officer who was formerly superintendent of the Clarence Victual ling-yard and Hasler Hospital. According to " O'Byrne's Biography" he has served on full-pay 22 years. "He is second son of the late Thomas Carter, Esq., of Castle Martin, county Kildare, by Catherine, daughter of the Hon. John 'Butler, and niece o' the first Earl of Lanesborough ; great- grandson of the Right lion. Thomas Carter, of Roberts town and Rathnelly, county Meath, Secretary of State for Ireland and Master of the Rolls; grand-nephew of the Right Rev. Philip Twysden, D.D., Lord Bishop of Raphoe, in Ireland ; second cousin of the present Earl of Cart of Jerse y, and brother of William Henry Carter , E s q ., e Mar tin, deputy-lieutenant for the county of Kildare, as likewise of Captain Thomas Carter, late of the Royal Artillery ; en tered the navy Jan. 14, 1798, on board the Brilliant, 28, and on the 26th July following participated, off Santa Cruz, Teneriffe, in that ship's able escape from the two 44-gun frigates Vertu and Regeneree. On next removing, with Captain Blackwood, to the Penelope, 36, be assisted, while at the blockade of Malta, at the hard-wrought capture, March 31, 1800, of Le Guillaume Tell, of 84 guns and 1,000 men, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Decres, subsequently to which we find him attending the expedit ion to Egypt, and sharing in much arduous boat service on the coast of France and of Genoa. Passed his examination Feb. 1, 1804, and on Feb. 20, 1805, was promoted from the Victory, flag- shiP , of Lard Nelson, in the Mediterranean, to an acting lieu tenancy in the Leviathan, 7 4 , to which he was confirmed 4th September following. After pursuing the combined fleet to the West Indies and back he bore a part in the battle of Tra falgar, and at the close of that deadly struggle was em ployed, at much personal risk, in securing the prisoners and destroying the prizes. As lieutenant, Mr. Carter's suc ceeding appointments appear to have been Feb. 28, 1806, to the Cerberus, 32, Captain William Selby, in the West Indies; June 3, following, to the acting command of the Cerf (formerly Cyane), 18, which he brought across the Atlantic with sails under her bottom and pumps going the whole passage ; was advanced August 22, 1809, to the command of the Hyacinth, 18 ; and was afterwards appointed, August, 1811, to the Orestes, 16, in the Channel; and March 23 1812, to the Thracian, 18. In the latter sloop he visited the Baltic and West Indies • captured, Feb. 7, 1814, the French privat€er L'Emile, of 14 guns and 42 men, off St. Valery ; and on two occasions, in order to preserve the crew from de struction, was compelled to throw a part of his armament overboard. Captain Carter-who, since his attainment of post rank, Dec. 7, 1815, has not been afloat -was nominated, Dec. 2, 1841, superintendent of the Royal Hospital at Haslar and of the Royal Clarence Victualling-yard-an appointment he retained until December, 1846. He married, in 1853, Julia, eldest daughter of W. P. Georges, Esq., and has issue five sons and one daughter." SUPERINTENDENTSHTP OF DEPTFORD DOCKYARD.- The officer indicated in yesterday's Sun, as having been appointed to succeed Rear-Admiral Sir John Hill, as- superintendent of Deptford Dock and Victualling Yard, will have been recog nised from our description as Captain the Hon. Richard Saunders Dundas, C. 8., formerly private secretary "to the Earl of Haddington, when First Lord of the Admiralty, and, lately commanding the Powerful, 84, in the Mediterranean. A better selection could not possibly have been made, for not only is the gallant officer most popular in the ser vice, but his popularity . arises from his great ability, even temper, impartial exercise of his office, and determination to act justly and uprightly, without distinction of persons or classes. Great credit is due to the Admiralty for the appointment, for in this instance the man is selected for the office, and the office is not made for the man. Captain Dundee (who, by the way, is no relation to the highly respected and efficient senior naval member of the Admiralty Board) has served 22 years afloat.'" He was (says O'Byrne) born April 11, 1802, is second son of Viscount Melville, K.T., for many years First Lord of the Admiralty, by Anne, daughter and co-heir of Richard Huck Saunders, Esq., M.D., and grand-niece and co-heir of Admiral Sir Charles Saunders, K. 8., who died Dec. 3, 1775 ; he is brother of the Hon. Henry Dundas, C. 8., lieut.-colonel 60th Rifles; and of the Hon. Robert Dundas, storekeeper general of the navy. He entered the Royal Naval College in 1815, and embarked June 15, 1817, as a volunteer on board the Gannymede, 26, and afterwards was midshipman of the Owen Glendower, 42, on the Mediterranean and South American stations; he then successively joined the Creole, 42, Superb, 78, Alacrity and Icarus, sloops, and Glasgow, 50. In the capacity of lieute nant, to which rank he was promoted June 18, 1821, his appointments appear to have been, Dec. 24, 1821, to the Active, 46 ; and Feb. 25 and Sept. 6. 1822, to the Owen Gl en d o wer, 42, and Sparrowhawk , 18; he was ad vanced to the command, June 23, 1823, of the latter vessel, on the Halifax station, where, and in the Me diterranean, he served until posted, July 17, 1824. We subsequently find Captain Dundas appointed, September 13, 1825, to the Volage, 28, fitting for South America- March 12, 1827, to the Warspite, 76, in which ship (the trst ed of her class that ever circumnavigated the globe) he re urn to England from New South Wales in October fol lowing-November 20, 1830, to the Belvidere, 42, succes sively employed in the Mediterranean and off Oporto, whence he came home and was paid off in December, 1833-and, September, 1, 1837, to the Melville, 72. In that ship he afterwards bore a part in the opening scenes of the campaign in China. While there he obtained the best. thanks of Sir Gordon Bremer for his conduct at the capture of Ty-cock tow, January 7, 1841-was present with her Majesty's ple nipotentiary at a formal meeting which was held with the Chinese commissioner on the 26th of the same month-and on the 26th of the ensuing February took up his position in the most gallant style in the action which preceded the cap ture of the forts at the Boca Tigris. He paid the Melville off at the end of 1841. Captain Dundas, who had pre viously filled the same office under his father in 1828, 1829, and 1830, was appointed, in January, 1845, private secretary to the Earl of Haddington. His nomination to the C.B. took place as a reward for his services in China, June 29, 1841." PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY. -The Penelope steam-frigate, Captain Lyster, bent sails last evening. She will, probably, go to Spithead to-morrow. The Prince Regent, 90, Captain Harris, is reported about 200 short of her complement. Captain the Hon. R. S. Dundas, C.. 8., is reported as likely to succeed Sir John Hill as Superintendent of Deptford Vic tualling-yard. A dinner is about to be given to Admiral Sir John Om manney, K.C. 8., at the Portlana Hotel, Southsea, to celebrate his appointment to the command-in-Chief at Plymouth. The Fanny, Port-Admiral's tender, Second Master Scar lett, is refitting, as is the Admiral-Superintendent'a yacht the Portsmouth, Master-Commander Read. Letters from the squadron of evolution still give the palm to Mr. White's Phaeton. WOOLWICH, APRIL 8.-The Right Hon. Sir Francis T.

Sir Francis Baring's next levee after Tuesday, the 15th of April, will be on Tuesday. the 2.-th of April. The Rattler steam-sloop, Commander Arthur Cumming, went down the river shortly after her arrival yesterday, to enable Mr. Tickett, assistant to the chief engineer, to report on the state of her engines. She was taken into the basin this afternoon. The Teazer steam-vessel will be ready to go down the river on trial on Thursday, and if found in good working order, will hold on to Portsmouth, in charge of Lieutenant Leckie, of the Penelope steam-frigate. The Birkenhead steam troop-ship, Master- Commander Robert Salmond, will embark the four companies of Royal Artillery at 7 o'clock A.M. to-morrow, and leave Woolwich in the af ternoon of the same day. The companies assemble in the garrison at 6 o'clock. A.m., and will march to the Dockyard headed by the band and drums and fifes of the re -iment. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, APRIL 8.

StocK EXCHANGE.—The transactions to-day were as follow :—Great Northern, 17%—York, Newcastle, and Ber wick (Newcastle Extension), Hi-A—York and North Mid land, 26%. STATE OF TRADE.--MANCHESTER, APRIL 8 The market to-day is similar to that of Saturday in its chier features of limited operations and want of decided firmness, arising from the uncertainty respecting the real character of the cotton crop. The arrivals by the Asia, reported on Saturday, have had very little effect on the Liverpool market, which is just now watched with the utmost care by all parties, and there is a feeling that the next steamer due will bring news more certainly indexing the quantity of the crop than any we have received. The market is in such a state, that if the advices from the States show a continued in crease on excess of receipts at the ports, prices for both yarns and goods must recede. In cloths there is not a great deal doing, though some considerable purchases have been made at low prices. In shirtings, Madapolaras, and other goods, chiefly fur the India trade, we hear , that a concession of 1 'Aid. per piece has been made ; but the market is upon the whole quiet, without much tendency to a general lowering of the terms on which business may be effecttd. In yarns there is a tolerable degree of steadiness. Mule yarns have declined a trifle, and water twist is less firm than last week. Since last Tuesday we may fairly quote counts of weft from 30's to GO's, and twist from 30's to 46's, from 1 / 9 d. to d. lower. NATIONAL REFORM ASSOCIATION. — The third monthly soiree of the National Reform Association was held on Monday at the London Tavern, 13ishopsgate-street, Sir Joshua Walmsley, M.P., in the chair. Mr. Edward Miall delievered a lecture upon the subject of the franchise as an instrument for the training of the people. The opinions put forth by the lecturer with regard to the moral condition of the people, and of the necessity for cultivating their feelings of loyalty and generosity, by treating them as loyal and ge nerous subjects, were loudly applauded by the meeting. " The attempt," he said, " to purify the mass of the popu lation by the measures which are commonly practised by arbitrary (.3-9vernments was like applying an hydraulic engine to purify a puddle."—(Hear, hear.) After the lecture was concluded, a resolution was passed, expressive of the thanks of the meeting to Mr, Miall " for the highly intel lectual and important lecture which he had delivered ;" and at the same time expressing its sense of the importance of the principles and objects of the association, and trusting that the recent Ministerial declarations would only stimu late its members to greater efforts to carry them into effect. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedipm. BANKERS. t*MeSsrs. Glyn, Retina, Mills, and Co., 67, Lombard-street. soramoas, prows.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-50 0 , 0001 . (I ncor p o rated under 7 and S Viet., cap. 110.)d equitable ) The leading principles of this Office era —Moderate a Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so ;Teat, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the a mount of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation Inane o - th true risk be made. To se cure this object the Equitable e rance Company is established. The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap ?roached through Classific,ation and Average, which has not hitherto b e en sufficiently acted on , or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the tree Premium equitably payable, as security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire °face will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to time, adopt such rates of Preniam as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investigation will be made of int thett o ach class of risk, and a re turn of one moiety, or fitly per cent. each class of risk, and a return of one moietY, or filly per cent, of the *e excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Property on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured. at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause.

The Emperor of AUSTRIA returned to Vienna on the sth, and had, it was said, immediately sent for Prince METTERNICH. Bavaria is in a very disturbed state in consequence of the presentation of a memorial to the KING from the bishops. A letter from Munich says— . . " That memorial' is a compound of the most extra vagant assumption and arrogance against royal and legal authority, and contradictory to almost all our civil laws. If all the things which the Bavarian bishops require could be granted, they would not be Fathers in the Church, but domineering despots in our country, and the King their servant. They, without abandoning their rank, pay royal privileges, or standing in the state or in society, categorically demand the entire abolition of the Place turn .Regzum, and ask full power and the right to appoint and to dismiss at their pleasure not only the subordinate clergy, but also the professors in the universities, and the teachers in all other schools. They require also full and undisputed power of instituting new Catholic universities, seminaries, schools, monasteries, and nunneries of every order and kind they please, and to send Jesuits and. Redemptionists as missionaries into their dioceses. Priests justly or unjustly judged by the bishops or their ordinaries are to have no appeal to the King's courts of justice. If that memorial were to be granted, the subordinate clergy would become as outlaws, or negro slaves, losing all natural rights as Bavarians, and delivered up to the arbitrary cruelty of the Jus Canonicum, as in the time of Gregory VII. "It is by such means that the Bishops think to regain their lost spiritual influence. The Bishop of Augsburg alone signed it, with a protest added to his name The concordat, nothing but the concordat, and the whole con cordat.' Now, the concordat is an integral part of the Ba varian Constitution; so the Bishops have tnrown the fire brand of division into their own house. Our Parliament, now assembled, begins already to grumble, and to abuse all ecclesiastical orders, and the people do the same. One furious pamphlet has already appeared, calling upon the people to put an end at once to all priestcraft and kingcraft by cudgels, &c." SPORTING NOTES. No. XXXL SCRAPS FROM NEWMARKET. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SU* ' SlR,—Yesterday's racing cam e off much as I expected it would ; Hesse Homburg won the Handicap in the easiest of canters; Hernandez repeated the same dose for the Riddles worth ; and, in short, everything has come off much about what I prognosticated in my Notes. The only exception was for the 100 soya. Stakes, where I more than half-ex pected Heartbreaker would bowl Ariosto over; he has done so, and established his right to be considered a Derby fa vourite; 1,000 to 30 is taken about him, at which price he ought to be supported, according to the odds; but mark me, he has but little chance of winning the Derby. Hernandez is worth backing at 50 to 1, for no other purpose than hedging. I did not publish any extraordinary information concerning the Column on hearing of the defeat of Ariosto yesterday, on account of thinking that Ariosto is quite good enough to win that stake; or, should he miss it, Merry Peal or Payment is quite certain of obtaining premier honours. The latest bet ting this morning up to twelve o'clock is as follows :—Co lumn Stakes—Even on Ariosto ; 4 to 1 agst Merry Peal ; 4 to 1 agst Payment; 10 to 1 agst any other. Port Stakes-5 to 4on Bee Hunter, offered. Derby-30 to 1 agst Heart breaker; 66 to 1 agst Ariosto. I am, Sir, yours, &c. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. • April 9, 1851. SlR,—Your remarks on the artic l e o n Sir a: Napier's instant, point, letter, in The Sun of the 14th seem to i n some respects, to certain observations of mine in a former letter. You speak of " breach of faith." Allow me £0 observe that the cases, as between the country and the sailor, and the country and the captain, are by no means analogous. The' sailor is not turned adrift because "if longer retained in the service, he would become entitled to extra pay," &c. He enters for five years. At the expiration of that time, by the sth and 6th Wm. IV., he can claim his discharge. By the same Act, "if retained in the service in consequence of some special emergency beyond five years, he is entitled to one-fourth additional pay." I need scarcely observe that this proviso is to prevent a ship abroad being unmanned on the breaking out of a war. Your remarks respecting a ship remaining in commission for five years are just ; but this has been found an unpopular measure. " Jack" is an odd fellow. He likes a three years' cruize; and at the expiration of that time, from the day of leaving England, he becomes anxious to return. Equally just and good are your proposals for a " reasonable leave of absence," &e. But are. you aware that this has been tried, add failed? " Jack" is an odd fellow in more ways than one. After his cruize he likes to be free, and it has been found that the continuance of pay, &c., were not sufficient induce ments to allow his name to remain on a ship's books. You must, therefore, Mr. Editor, point out some other plan for the establishment of an invaluable reserve." r rhis is the great desideratum; and if you can propose one, and it can be attended with success, you will not only receive the thanks of any set of men who may be in possession of the quarter approached by the " Bridge of Sighs," as well as those of the service generally, but you will also confer a signal benefit on your country. I am, Sir, &c., MARINERO. London. P.S.—You may not understand my allusion to the " Bridge of Sighs." At a certain large house near Char ing-cross is; an iron bridge leading over a staircase to a waiting-room, which officers who go to beg have to cross, and which was, long since, not inappropriately, thus named.

Mademoiselle Caroline Duprez appeared last evening in the character of Amina, in La Sonnambula, and achieved certainly her greatest triumph hitherto. Her youthful and in genuous appearance, her impassioned, yet at the same time artless and frank style of acting, and above all her exquisitely modulated, clear, silvery, fresh, flexible, and perfectly culti vated voice, pointed her out at once as the representative par excellence of the artless suffering peasant girl, whose sorrows touch all hearts. She gave the delightful cavatina in the first act, " Come per me sereno," with the most exquisite taste, and the succeeding duet with Elvino, whether considered as a piece of vocalization or of acting, was absolutely faultless. In the somnambulist scene, in which she is discovered in Rodolpho's bed-room, Madlle. Caroline Duprez proved herself an actress of the very highest order. It had been usual with her predecessors in this part, when awakened by the sudden irruption of the villagers, to rise at once suddenly from the couch and rush forward—much more true to nature was the rendering of Mdlle. Caroline Duprez. When first aroused she casts a bewildered look around her, and re mains for a few seconds " like one distraught," and it is net until the hands have been passed once or twice over the forehead, and she collects her scattered senses, that she becomes aware of her situation, and then, with an.in tensity of agony that words cannot describe, rushes towards Elvino. Nothing could exceed the beauty of her acting, and of her singing during the remainder of this most trying scene; honour to Mademoiselle Duprez for the con scientious manner in which she rendered the music of Bellini, and resisted temptations to which* too many of her predecessors in this part haire yielded. She had her re ward ; never has this scene as a whole been so effectively renderedothe audiencgielt that this was the case, and at the conclusion sh'e wad as on ancl. rapturously applauded. The far- famed finale, "Ali ! non 'giapge,," 'vas most bril liantly, and at 'tie' same time mat ..:expressiVely dered, did. excited a perfect. • /furore. kAt ,the :fall of tge curtaint ,4 was called %onll4rie timesr but' even this did not satisfy the audionce, wiaramanded its , repetition. This demand was complied with ; and Madlle. Caroline Duprez was again called on. Coletti, who was in excellent voice, made his first appearance for the season in the character of Rodolpho, and sang the " Vi raviso" most effectively. Calzolari resumed his old character of Elvino, the character in which he achieved his earliest triumph here, ' and he never sang more exquisitely. He was most de servedly encored in the "Ah perche." Madlle. Feller was the Lisa, and made more of the character than any one who has yet appeared in it. At the conclusion of the opera Carlotta Grisi danced the Truandaise in the most fascinatingly_ coquettish style I imaginable ; and Sig. Coletti appeared in the last I scene of I due Foscari as the old Doge, and acted I magnificently. The pretty Watteau Ballet concluded ' the amusements of the evening. Notices were posted ' about the theatre, announcing that the copyright of Alary's new and successful opera, Le Tre Nozze, had been:secured for ) her MajAty's Theatre, and that the principal characters ' would be sustained by Madame Sontag and Signori La blache and Ferranti. ROPERTY AND INCOME TAX. (From the Times.)` argument of the Chancellor of the Exchequer in favour of perpetuating the present form of the schedules under the Property and Income-tax just amounts to this,—As the ques tion can be reconsidered three years hence, why trouble our selves about the matter now ? What are three years ? Thirty six months—one hundred and fifty-six weeks, so many days, hours, and reeieres we- ease me about such a trifle as three e _ ? Surely nine years of pro. - bation awe,. sieve scnooled us to greater endurance. We have paid up good-humouredly enough throughout, why scruple about the odd change? Sir Charles Wood is dealing with the House like an insinuating cabman with a good natured fare. Why refuse him the trifle he asks? To us it matters so little—to him so much. When we settle with our next driver we can fall back upon the Doric simplicity of Bd. a-mile—but just for this once—only this once. The more one thinks of Sir Charles Wood and his Income-tax assessment, the more he appears like the unjust steward in the parable. But the bills that announce his last appearance in that character are never off the walls. " Sir Charles Wood as the Unjust Steward. Tears, Cheers, and Laughter." Each time we are told that he never will again tread the boards in that character, but, as is the custom of his dramatic models, so long as he draws an audience, and the audience draw their purse -string, so long shall we have an indefinite series of " positively last appearances." But when one looks a little closely into this recurring " three years' argument," we find that it cuts both ways. If the additional sum wrong fully and unjustly extorted from a particular class of the community matters so little to them, does it much signify to t „ e h Finance Minister? " If the tax," says Sir Charles Wood, is to be renewed for a limited period, it would be unwise and inexpedient to propose any modification." So from three years to three years the professional and trading c l asses of the country are to be coaxed and hustled by th e C hancellor of the Exchequerinto the wilderness to attone for the sins of the people. As for get• ting rid of the income-tax bodily until the whole financial system of the country shall in all other respects have been put upon the soundest and securest footing—the idea is a mere delusion. Labitur et labetur, the river will flow on, aid the professions and trades of the country are left gaping on the bank, like the clown in the fable. But then—so it is stated—they receive their correlative advantages in com pensation for the excess of their contributions to the tax. The advantages they receive are participated in by all, but the extra payment is peculiar to them alone. Mr. F Peel put this point in a very clear way on Monday night. First, he very properly drew a distinction between a life income and a permanent in come ; and a fortiori, between a permanent come and one which depends upon the frightfully precarious chances of health, reputation, and employment. Now, a person who derives his income from so transitory a source is, of course, bound to deduct annually from it a large pro portion as a provision for those who are to come after him; or, failing these, certainly for his own old age. " But the Chancellor of the Exchequer," said Mr. F. Peel, " asked them to impose an income-tax in ran unequal and unjust manner, and which would prevent these provident steps being taken, in order that he might, with the produce of that tax, relieve those other persons from some other descriy tion of tax, but which relief might not be in any degree proportionate to the uujust pressure they experienced from the income-tax." That is just the point. The professional and trading classes are of course very much obliged to Sir Charles Wood for considering their comfort as far as timber and coffee are concerned. But it is just possible for them to limit their expenditure under those two heads in any case, and to appropriate the difference between a just and an un just contribution to the income-tax to an insurance on their lives, or to investments of various kinds for the benefit of their families. The speech of Mr. T. Baring is equally entitled to atten tion, although it only contains what we have over and over again stated within these columns. " The Chancellor of the Exchequer," said Mr. Baring, "admitted all the objec tions urged against the unequal operation of this income-tax, but he said that its justice consisted in this—that it was unjust to all. Never was such a justification of a tax heard in the House of Commons before. As well might it be said that no one was entitled to complain when all were injured. Was ever such a declaration heard from a Chancellor of the Ex chequer ?" Then, again, if we regard the iniquitous assess ment of this tax under the head of " fraud," Mr. T. Baring pointed out the ambiguous nature of Sir Charles Wood's po sition. He must needs admit one of two things. Either the income netted from the professions and trades of the country has materially deteriorated since 1842—in which case, what has been the gain from free trade ? or the amount of fraud perpetrated upon the revenue since that date has been unmistakeable in character and enormous in amount. Here are the figures, as cast on Mon day night by Mr. T. Baring in Sir Charles Wood's teeth. There has been a diminution under Schedule D since 1846 of 6,000,0001., and, since 1842, of 8.000,000/.. Now, the quarterly returns of the revenue, from 1846 downwards to the present time, give secure testimony of the prosperous condition of the country. If these were wanting Mr. Wil son, who pro hdc vice may be considered the mouthpiece of the Government, was very careful to bear witness to the im proved condition of the country by instituting a comparison between the years 1842-1850, under the following heads : " The population has increased 12 per cent. ; the im portation of cotton 41 per cent, ; wool 64 per cent. ; silk 46 per cent. ; hemp 80 per cent. ; flax 61 per cent. In the same period the consumption of tobacco has increased 25 per cent. ; wine 33: per cent.; tea 38 per cent ; spirits 53 per cent.; and sugar 60 per cent." Is not the conclusion to be derived from coupling these figures with the diminished returns to the income-tax under Sche dule 1) inevitable? Is it not patent upon the first blush of the case that a vast amount of fraud is constantly perpe trated on the Government by a class of the community who find the palliation for their falsehood and perjury in the un just nature of the tax to which they are subjected? Nor can it be supposed that it is within the power of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to contrive any machinery which shall be operative to extract faithful returns from the taxpayers so feng as the present method of assessment shag endure. The Case between the Linahce Minitter and' ere taxpayers is merely that of ltob Roy and of his couetituetits fiver again : Ile may take evh,e has the power, And they may Keep who can." The victory is to the most cunning and astute. Moral scruples and considerations are contemned on the one side, as they are neglected on the other. We do not, therefore, ex onerate the recalcitrant taxpayers from blame. However unfair and inequitable the demand upon them, they are bound to comply with it, as long as the statute of 1842 remains the law of the land. Lea, however sincere our condemnation of so flagrant a breach of civic duty, we cannot therefore shut our eyes to the real state of the case, or omit one of the most efficient arguments which can be used against a re newal of the tax in its present form, even tor another limited period of three years. It may serve to remove some misunderstanding which hangs about this subject in the minds of many persons who have not been in the habit of handling the returns, if we hers re-enumerate the exact conditions of the payments to Schedule D. In the course of Monday evening's debate Mr. Booker—from whose general arguments and conclusions we entirely dissent—sent out the true state of the case, and from his speech we extract the following figures, which he extracted from the returns. Under Schedule D there are taxed in the whole 144,626 persons. The number of per sons in that class whose income is under 5001. a year is 124,733. There : are 2 ,200 professional and commercial persons in the receipt of above 500/. per annum. The amount contributed by the whole of schedule D amounts to 1,570,000/. Of that amount the 124,733 whose incomes do not exceed 500/. per annum contribute 661,000/. This calculation abundantly shows the character of the pressure which is brought to bear upon the professional and trading classes of the community, as well as the steps by which they successfully evade it. Sir Charles Wood, according to his new philosophy of repairing one injustice by another, may possibly consider the fraud committed by the taxpayers in the light of a safety-valve, which insures the safety of the whole machine We cannot regard it from the same point of view. As usual in such cases, the rogues escape, and the honest men suffer the inore. The fraud but lessens the lre venue, and pro touts insures the continuance of t he other arguments were wanting, the necessity on fissucitailetinx sufficient n in d! for obtaining more faithful returns should b e a ducement to Sir Charles Wood and his colleagues i t m o p r ossib l i e : der the assessment of the tax. It is, however, Exchequer on after the declaration of the Chancellor of the Monday night, to entertain much hope from its e e t h m a s t p q r u o a b r a t b e r l e . We regret this determination t he more asts y stem of the coun try. Important as it 1. that the income-tax will for aie long fi ti s m ca e l o come form an in tegral and important portion,, it of tI mus t rest for the present upon no more stable foundation s upportlrish Members. iGil LIFE MARRIAGE IN II • Yesterday the nup a a n td the Lady tints of Viscount Goderich, eldest son of the Earl and Countess of svpon, and Miss Henrietta Vynor eldest residence of Earl '' de Mary Vynor, were G re y , grandfather of the bride and uncle to the bride room in St. Jarries's-s cdeluegbrhatred o f ir y Ca s P p t e a c i i n al h li e s n e n r y ce g s uare.

When the , nYd . Labour in the Post-office was resumed a .evr month i.. ssince, the Postmaster-General pro mised that lei us wo d relieve his subordinates from all labour that was not absolutely necessary for the convenience of the public. It 14's considered very desirable that every effort, and s e sacrifice should be made, to dispense with the ser vics aom the country post men as muc h as possible on Sundays. This numerous body of men walk oftentimes between 20 and 30 miles a-day for a small pittance per week. They start very early in the morning, from the chief offices in towns, and distribute correspondence in the rural districts. In the evening they return to the chief offices with the corresporel; ence collected at the post-offices in villages and hamlets. is now resolved that on Sundays these men shall ctoriern latter their return to the chief offices so as to arrive whole of the about midday, in order that they may ha he _ s es, iti and after part of the Sabbath to spend with their law A . .onle parts of the attend church.

Masaniello was performed here last evening for the rentree of Tamberlik, who resumed the character of Masaniello. He was in excellent voice, and sang and acted to perfection. The only noticeable change in the cast of last year was the substitu tion of Herr Formes for Massol, as Pietro. The reading of Formes is completely different from that of Massol ; he takes a thoroughly German view of the part, and although he is very fine, yet both his acting and his singing struck us as some what heavy, and as not altogether harmonizing with the other portions of the opera. Madame Castellan was heartily welcomed by the audience on her first appearance as Elvira. She sang the music of her part with great brilliancy. Miss Ballin sustained the part of Fenella with her accus tomed intelligence. The chorusses were very finely rendered, and the music received full justice from the magnificent band of Costa. The incidental dances were tastefully given by Mademoiselle Louise Taglioni and M. Alexander. PUBLIC INCOME AND EXPENDITURE.—A valuable Parliamentary paper, obtained by Mr. Cardwell, has been published by order of the House of Commons. It con tains an account of the public income and expenditure for each 7r ear since 1822, showing the amount received into the Exchequer, the expenditure under its several heads, the surplus or deficiency of income; the amount of taxes repealed, reduced, or imposed, distinguishing the principal items; the total capital of debt, funded or unfunded; and the balances in the Exchequer at the close of the year. Since 1822 taxes have been repealed or reduced to the amount of 36,948,5031., and taxes have been imposed to the amount of 9,864,7561., leaving a balance of taxes reduced or repealed to the amount of 27,083,7471.
