E W NOVEL BY THE AUTHOR OF EMILIA WYNDHAM Now ready at ail the Libraries, in 3 vols., ME, THE AVENGER. By the Author of "Emilia Wyndham," " The Wilmington," &e. "Contains scenes that enchain and fascinate the reader."—Exa. Miner. " One of the most touching tales we ever read."—John Bull. " The most valuable contribution to the highest class of fiction that has been presented to the public for many years." —Critic. " There iika vigour, a strength of truth—an intensity of passion and power—about this book which has rarely been surpassed in the finest fictions of the author."—John Bull. Henry Colburn, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborough-street. l o w ready at all the Librarie s , m 2 vols., post vivo., 1 L W A NOVEL. 0 0 D. •, The author, we are convinced, is young, otherwise we could hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be half of his heroes and heroines. He is a writer of genius, inspired by a high standard of morality and religion, and by a laudable love of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan guagei a which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions on the suhlects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays on matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraells, Mea nness, and Smythes."—Observer. "` Sllweod' is so ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed lag beauty, and is written in pure and fereible language, with great good taste and power. It is one of the most interesting and en gaging novels which the present season has produced. Of the cha sector ef Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have said. The other ladies who play coaspienons parts In the tale are ivra enee Howard, an intellectual beaaty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and ulsive genius, passionately fond of music and poetry ; and Julia and, the noblest and best of them all."—Morning Post. Richard Bentley, Now Burlington-street. THE NEWSPAPER PRESS DIRECTORY.

Mr. Bateman, who is a polverful young man, struggled with the vagabonds bravely, and compelled them to make a hasty trtetfiresabt, after they hatl endeavoured to throw him into Police-constables, who had been drawn to the spot by tt ; cries of Mr. Bateman for assistance, found him lying b um . sible and bleeding from several severe wounds in the head. They of 'course Immediately rendered all nicessary atten tion to him, and after his reason had been restored an in vestigation was made, with him, by Sergeant Harvey, 14 G, and it was discovered that nearly every portable article, consisting of plate, jewellery, and other valuables, had been packed up in the kitchen, as if for speedy removal. The ex ertions of the active officer are directed to the whereabouts of the thieves, but it is feared, from the suddenness of the attack and the density of the fog at the time, that the ruf fians will escape justice. Mr. Bateman will have to remain under medic .1 care for some time. --- JENNY LIND.— N'e' e are informed thftt there is every probability of an arrangetne n t b • g completed for a series of tirEWST:t,ev iver t s to take place in Lundon el d n u - ring the next season, at ..,......„... ..... #7 , L _ "whight Jenny Lind will be the st ar ; and we have it upon .71 , -' , l; --- ' -goad_ Authority, that MFrederick r.

Sun Office, Bth Feb., 1881. look , . 11 144, 1 " 't • 4 ;00. alr , 4 6;„ , Ntitt b e rnin LONDON, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1851. It is now certain that Ministers will endeavour to retain tile . income-tax in its present shape, without change or alteration, for a further term of years. The Chancellor of the .Exchequer bas given notice that he will this evening move (in Committee of Ways and Means), " That towards raising the supply granted to her MAJESTY, the respective duties in Great Britain on profits arising from property, pro fessions, trades, and offices, shall be further con tinued for a time to be limited." There is, there fore, to be no modification of this infamous im post. The same per-tentage is to be levied for a further indefinite period on the precarious earnings arising from the exercise of skill or labour in different vocations, oti the fluctuating gains of the merchant, the manufacturer, and the wholesale or retail dealer, as on the rents of real estates, or dividends from the funds, or shares in public companies, or interest on mortgages, and that whether the nominal be also the absolute owner, with full power to charge or alienate at his mere will and pleasure, or be only entitled to a limited estate or interest therein. Sir CHARLEB WOOD is thus desirous of rendering the chosen representatives of the people the par ticipators in a flagrant act of political injustice and , political dishonesty. We use the term advisedly for can there be greater political dishonesty and turpitude than to extract from the pockets of needy .men sums which they are barely enabled to satisfy, and which are far beyond their fair proportion of the national liabilities ? We do not suppose that Sir Cmantas WOOD would defraud his poor neighbours for his own private advantage -- that he would wilfully and deliberately appropriate money or property to which he had no moral claim. He would repudiate with scorn and indignation so gross an accusation; nor would he treat with greater leniency an imputation that he would pronounce an unfair or prejudiced deci sion in a case where he had 'been selected as arbi trator, or lean to the side of the rich and influential, to the detriment of the poor and friendless. But the integrity of his private life affords but little compensation for the vice and turpitude of his public career. He would not defraud one indivi dual for the benefit of another, but he is quite willing to defraud a numerous class, or rather classes, com prising thousands and tens of thousands of hard working and meritorious persons, for the advantage of the drones in the national hive. Isle would deprive industry of its legitimate rewards, and prevent the young professional man, or tbe struggling trader, who embarks in a doubtful speculation, from extri cating himself from his difficulties, and achieving a more elevated position in the social scale.. Such a per son does far more mischief, and bas more to answer for, than the most accomplished swindler that ever breathed. If such a raraavis should arise as a Chancellor of the Exchequer anxious to do justice to all men, how would the columns of public journals be crowded with acknowledgments of "restitution," or " conscience money" from those who had been plun dered by his predecessor. No such luck, however, is in store for the country ; we may be well contented if we can avoid future injustice, without seeking a re compense for past injuries. The equal taxation of every descriptipn of income is so manifestly unequal• in its operation, so unsound in its principle, that if it had not already received the Legislative sanction on three separate, oecasions, and if it were not again about to be brought forward by a Cabinet Minister, we should consider it an act of supererogation, an insult to the common sense of the country, to offer any arguments in support of our views. It really appears like an attempt to prove that two is not equal to twenty-five, to argue that 6001. a year gained by a barrister or solicitor, physician or surgeon, is not equivalent to the dividends on 20,0001. in the Three per Cent. Consols, or that the profits of the merchant, manufacturer, or trader, which may be exchanged for losses the follow ing year, are not equivalent to ground rents arising from well-circumstanced lands or houses. The pro fessional or commercial man, who has no accumulated and realized capital to fall back upon in the event of any unforeseen losses, who has seldom even a single half-year's income on hand, at the same time is re quired to pay three per cent.on all that he is worth in the world, while the fundholder does not contribute at the same time more than one two-thousandth part of his capital, or, in other words, he gets off for less than the one sixty-sixth part of what his lees fortunate neigh bours are required to contribute in proportion to their respective means. Bat even this does not illustrate the full extent of the grievance. Many of those persons whose occupations had for many years been unproductive, who had necessarily incurred debts while struggling to maintain their position, in the hope that it would eventually become remunerative, are charged on their entire profits, without any allowance being made, or drawback sanctioned for payments made on account of former incumbrances. The fundholder sells out a portion of bis stock, and thus liquidates his liabilities—the landowner transfers or mortgages some of his acres : in either case payment is only made on the surplus applicable to the private purposes of the owner; but the medic a l or l ega l practitioner, who can give no security that will be recognized in the money-market, who has to pay enormous interest on his outstanding : liabili ties, if he would avoid a visit to Portugal- street, the full half or two-thirds of his profits, being thus distributed, receives no allowance. He must pay on his gross nominal income, although he may not consider himself justified in appro priating the one-fourth part thereof to his private expenditure. But why multiply examples ? the whole system is inequitable and must be completely altered ; and we call earnestly and emphatically on every man of honour and honesty, on every one who hopes again to meet his constituency without a blush, to oppos e its renewal in its present form with all his energies. We trust, then, that the motion of Sir CHARLES WOOD this evening, on which he is "prepared to take a vote if the House will give it," may be rejected, and that it be referred to a Select Committee to inquire and report on the best and most equitable mode of raising the revenue necessary TIIE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING-, FEBRUARY 17, 1851.

CHARLES DICKENS has already excited towards himself no inconsiderable amount of public gratitude. His exquisite fictions, ever genial in sentiment, ever wholesome in morality, ever tending to nurture some germ of social improvement, or to forward in some manner the blessed work of civilization, have conferred upon the multitude benefactions for which his con temporaries cannot by any possibility yield him any adequate acknowledgment. Nevertheless, some fore taste of the recompense reserved for him with pos terity has already been conceded in the fame already enjoyed by him during the last fifteen years—a fame more universal than has, perhaps, ever been permitted to another during his lifetime, extending, as it has done, throughout all sections of the community, throughout all ranks and classes of the population. In addition to what our great novelist bas thus ac complished, in addition to the cause be has thus given us for regarding his powers with gratitude as well as admiration, it is probable that, in yet a different manner, he will shortly give us new reason for thank fulness, conferring a new lustre upon letters, and opening up fresh fields of progress to the cultivators of our national literature. It can scarcely be for gotten how Boz, in his "American Notes," con trived, although incidentally yet vigorously, to en force the arguments favourable to the organization of a regular system of international copyright. Neither can it be overlooked how he is at this moment exert ing his energies in behalf of the intellectual improve ment of the masses, by fostering under the shelter of his own large and enviable popularity the influence of cheap but valuable and elevating publications. The weekly and monthly instalments of Household Words are periodically recalling this to our recol lection. While endeavouring thus practically to ad vance the interests of self-education among the gene rality, Mr. DICKENS is striving, at the same time, to release from the shackles of taxation the knowledge hitherto, by that means, denied altogether to the masses, or, at any rate, only meted out to them in stinted and niggardly propor tions. Very recently, to this end, it may have been observed that he raised his voice against the duty imposed on paper, by making one of the deputation which lately waited upon the Right Hon. Baronet the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Elsewhere his efforts are being directed to the emancipation of knowledge from the other bonds in which it is un fortunately trammelled. A ,question put within the last few days to Sir CHARLES WooD by the Honour able Gentleman the representative of Birmingham, reminded the House of Commons of the challenge thrown out to the Administration in reference to these restrictions by Mr. DICKENS'S monthly compilation known as the Household Nairative of Current Events. In answer to this inquiry the Chancellor of the Ex chequer intimated that the Board of Inland Revenue had not abandoned its suit against Mr. DICKENS for the issue of that cheap priodical. Partaking as it does of the character of a newspaper, the Household Narrative, according to the authorities, requires, in , )rder to render it legally vendible, the stamp always affixed to those kind of publications. This stamp would appear, however, is only imprinted on such copies as are intended for tranamist•ion through the Post-office; and, therefore, it is presumed that the proprietor of the serial has made himself amenable to the penalties capable of being inflicted at the discre tion of the Board of Inland Revenue. A brief in terval will enable the multitude to discover if such opinions are really based upon truth. A week or so, and the public will see whether the Government will venture to prosecute the novelist for what it main- rains to be a flagrant violation of the law. Under any circumstances Mr. DICKENS will have se cured an advantage to the community at large, by thus bringing down upon his own head the weapons of the Administration. He will have relieved us from an uncertainty fraught with inconvenience. He will have destroyed an anomaly long recognized, but never before grappled with by the most adventurous. He will have esta • blished the real meaning of the Legislature in these particulars, and, we doubt not, will have forced upon the attention of Parliament in the most effective way imaginable the evil influences exercised upon the multitude through the medium of the taxes imposed on knowledge. Nevertheless, while acknowledging thus much, while appreciating the benevolence of the purpose held in view in this matter by Mr. DICKENS, we cannot to the full coincide with him in his evident disrelish for the official timbre upon news- papers. What we rejoice at, therefore, in the cir. cumstance alluded to, is the fact that the inquiry provoked by our illustrious author will tend to ex. :ort from the Legislature some distinct opinion upon ;he whole mass of pernicious and unjustifiable taxes on knowledge. Without, consequently, desiring in any way to witness the abolition of the "stamp " seeing that we regard it as well compensated by the capabilities of postal transmission, and feeling that in addition to all this it is an effectual preservation against the issue of vile and detestable broadsheets otherwise likely to be spawned abundantly by the printing press--we are most solicitous to observe the remission of the other duties levied upon knowledge itself, through the materials for its dissemination. And this remission we conceive may be very con siderably expedited by the arguments provoked in reference to the prosecution of the proprietor of the Household Narrative of Current Events by the Board of Inland Revenue. Whatever may be the result of this approaching investigation, of one thing we rest assured, namely, of the generous and pa triotic intentions by which Mr. CHARLES DICKENS is actuated.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,—Disraeli's minority, and the result of the South Notts election, are evidences of the distressed state of the farmers. Disraeli's motion also proves how unable or unwilling he is to point out the real cause of the evil anything more wild and visionary than Disraeli's remedies cannot be imagined. Sir James Graham again puts his finger on the blot—" I tell the country gentlemen that if they seek to operate through the medium of the currency, they must go much farther than the Bank Act of 1844." Will neither of these men speak out? Then the people " out of doors" must make them. And this, with the diffi culties daily rising up in increased magnitude before one, it is my humble bat sincere endeavour to urge upon the people. Many thanks for your continued and patriotic support of our unpopular cause. It is advancing, it will prevail. But what unnecessary accumulation of suffering, distress, and ruin must this country go through before it can be brought to see where the remedy is to be found I A farmer naturally regards his landlord as the greatest man in the county, and in ordinary times will do anything For him. What pres•ure of distress, there' , re, must there have been to to(ce the tenants to join the small freeholders in this county in resisting the Dukes of Portland and New castle, the Earls of Chesterfield, Scarborough, and Manvers, Lord Miduleton (all very large landed proprietors), Earl Howe, and nearly every county gentleman in the division, sad to prevail! I intend to try to batter down the bugbear of " Deprecia tion of the currency." We don't wish to injure the credit or interest ; it might be affected in some degree, but I believe that all interests wauld ultimately be greatly benefited. Saturday Night.

PAUL'S I CHURCH -YARD TO THE PUBLIC - (THIS MORNING).-At nine o'clock this (Monday) morning the area in front of St. Paul's Cathedral at the top of Ludgate-hill was opened to the public, by order of the Dean and Chapter. Many per sons availed themselves of the privilege, of promenading within the enclosure, and of inspecting at leisure the ela borate details of the noble structure. Three gates are thrown open for the ingress and egress of visitors, and two police men have been appointed to keep order. The narrow end of the wedge has thus been inserted through the agency of Mr. Barber, of St. Paul's Church-yard, and it is to be hoped that eventually the whole of the area, as proposed by that gentleman, will be opened to the public, both equestrian and pedestrian.

MINES, MARKET N IS DAY.) Malt—the supply of which was moderately extensive— moved off slowly at last week's quotations. The aggregate supply of Oats exceeded 30,000 quarters. Tbis had the effect of checking the demand; nevertheless, late rates were mostly supported. The sale for Beans was slow. In prices, however, we have no change to notice. Peas of all kinds, as well as Indian Corn, ruled very dull. No alteration took place iu the value of Flour, for which the demand was heavy. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Notwith standing the favourable change in the weather, and that the attendance of buyers was on the inert' see, the Beef trade ruled somewhat inactive, at prices about equal to those obtained on Monday last. We may observe, however, that the extreme value of the best Scot s was 3s. Bd. per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we re ceived about 2,000 Scots, Short Horns, &c. ; from the nor thern dikricts, 800 Short Horns; from, other parts of Eng land, 300 of various breeds; and from !Scotland, 350 Horned and Polled Scots, chiefly by railway. 1 'he numbers of Sheep being again very moderate, the deman tit for that description of stock ruled firm, at fully Friday's improvement in value. The general top figure for the best old Downs in the wool being 4s 6d per 81bs. There were about 2,000 shorn Sheep in the market. The few Lambs on show produced 5s 6d to 6s per 81bs.

The total quantity offered and disposed of up to Saturday evening is 5,736 bales. On each day the at tendance of buyers was large, and the competition was very spirited, at, in some instances, an improvement in value of Id per lb. The auctions are expected to be brought to a close on Saturday next. In the private market, compara tively little business is doing, yet prices are very firm. Last week's imports were 115 bales from Leghorn, 360 from Bor dianski, 6L from Hamburgb, 500 from Taganrog, 36 from the Cape, and 895 from Rouen. TALMO vr.

The leading cow try markets held on Saturday were tolerably well supplied with most kinds of English Wheat, in which only alim itekt business was traits cted on sem ewl at easier terms. Fine foreign Wheats were mostly held at extreme guotations, but the malciling and inferior qualities were lower. In BarLy next to nothing was doing; but Melt supported previous currencies. Oats, Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour were almost nominal. Letters from New York to the sth inst., state that the mar ket for " bread-stuffs" was inactive, at unaltered prices. In the Baltic and Black Sea ports very little has been doing of late for spring shipment ; but the transac:ions in Flour in France are still very extend e. Only moderate suppli,,s of home-grown produce were re ceived up to our market last week ; but from Ireland upwards of 13 OW quarters of Oats reached us. The foreign imports were, f.',688 quarters Wheat, 12,238 Barley, 12,251 Oats, 147 Beans, 869 Peas, 746 Tares, 1,582 Linseed, 1,763 Rape seed, 6,77 n sacks and 20 barrels Flour. The supply of Engli-h Wheat received fresh up to this moroi►,g's market, coastwise, from Essex, was very small, but of considerably improved quality. Prom Kent, - .Norfolk, &c., the receipts by water• carriage were very moderate. A few parcels came tresh t hand, per railway, from Cambridge shire, Norfolk, &c., and the show of samples of both red and white was slightly on the increase. Notwithstanding that the attendance of both town and country millers was comparatively small, the demand for most kinds of Wheat of home produce, arising chiefly from their improved condition, the result of the change in the weather, was steady at prices fully equal to those obtained an Monday last, and a good clearance of the stands was effected prior to the close pf busi ness. The transactions for forward shipment from the' East ceast were trifling. We were again well supplied with foreign Wheat, ex granary, as well as from ship-board. Fine dry samples sold somewhat steadily at full prices, but the middling and infe rior kinds commanded scarcely any attention at late rates. Two cargoes of Polish Odessa, afloat of Falmouth, sold at 335. per quarter, freight, cost, and insurance included. The quantity of Barley brought forward was again large. Malting parcels met a moderate inquiry at previous carrell cies, but grinding and distilling sorts were dull in the extreme. 'de-park. PRIVY COUNCIL.-(THIS DAY.)

The letters and full details by the overland mail from India have been delivered, and their contents, in a commercial sense, are the most unfavourable that have come to hand for a long time past. The scarcity of money, which had produced such a serious decline in the value of Government and other securities, whether stocks or shares, was attributable it would seem to excessive speculation in opium and cotton. The intelligence from China being unfavourable for opium, which had fallen in price, was in part the cause of the suspension of payments by some of the Parsees; and it is stated further that the de mand for goods in the North-Western provinces was duller than usual, and consequently that fewer orders had been sent to Calcutta. Nevertheless the conclusion arrived at is that the trade of the great cities in the northern part of India would speedily revive. Accounts from the Amsterdam Bourse state that business had been restricted in Dutch Two•and-a-Half per Cents., which were 57% to 9-16. Spanish Bonds were very ani mated, bet rather in favour of buyers. he English Stock Market has been very dull, but Steady as regards prices. Consols have been quoted 944 % for Transfer, and 96% 1 / 2 for Account. The intentions of the Chancellor of the Exchequer with respect to the Budget are surmised from the statements already made public, and as they comp.ise reduction on the ore hand and new taxation on the other, they are considered to be of a rather negative character. At the same time fundholders, who look to the prices of stocks rather than to anything else, are well pleased that efforts are to be made to keep up a good sinking fund, not always bearing in mind that the promotion of the contentment and pros perity of the masses is the surest course to obtain and pre serve a surplus revenue. Neither will the agriculturists be likely to be satisfied in the long run by any other proceeding. The New Three and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 99 and 984. Bank Stock is 215 to i f . South Sea Stock 1071. Exchequer bills have been reduced to 555. and 50s. premium. Money is scarcer. . . The Foreign Securities have been very quiet again. Spanish Five per Cents. are at 20, and the Passive Bonds have been marked 4% to 5. Peruvian Deterred bare been marked 331. Mexican Bonds have been quoted 33%, and .Buenos Ayres 55 to 55 3 / 4 . Brazilian Old Stock is worth 92. 'Grenada Coupons are at 5 1 4. Dutch Two.and-a-Half per Cefits. have been 58%, and Russian Four and-a-Half per Cents. 97 1 3 / 4 . The Railway Share Market has been animated again, and the quotations are higher for Eastern Counties, Aberdeen, Manchester, Buxton,-and Matlock; Lancashire and York shire, East Lancashire, Great Northern, Brighton, North- Western, Midland, and most of the other lines.
