Extensive Travelling Leave granted without extra Premium Moderate extra Premium for Residence in Tropical Climates. EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0 001 . (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Yid., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office era—Moderate and equitable Rates or 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 great, 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 amount 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 to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be tip ?roached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted on, or system atically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against loss tor 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 preportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Ofnee will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to time, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to eater into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett 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. Prospectuses, and every information may be obtained, on applic,a tien at the Office, or to any of its Agents. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. It was believed on the Bourse that M. ACHILLE FOULD was endeavouring to form a Cabinet, and that MM. BAROCHE, ROUHER, BENOIST D'AZY, CROUZEILLE, and General LARITTE would form part of the new Ministry.

Sra,—Your remarks on the article on Sir C. Napier's letter, in The Sun of the 14th instant, seem to point, in some respects, to certain observations of mine in a former letter. You speak of " breach of faith." Allow me to 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 il prevent a ship abroad being un manne d on t h e b rea ki n g 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.l 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," &c. But are you aware that this has been tried, and 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." This 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, &e., 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.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. 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 landed in command of a division of seamen to co-operate with the British troops in their warfare with Touissaint de l'Ouverture and other native chiefs in the French interest. In February, 1796, with the In trepid's boats under his orders, he cut out from a small cove near Porto Plata, on the north side of the island, La Pereante, 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 Fenciblea-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 thel convoys passing to and from the Baltic; next, in December, 1813, in conveying 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 before 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 Pym, 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, leaving a good service pension to the disposal of the First LoT el, and Captain the Hon. George Frederick Hotbam (June, 1828) succeeds to the senior half-pay list, and Captain 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. "H e i s second son of the late Thomas Carter, Esq. ' of Castle Martin, county Kildare, by Catherin e, daughter of the Hon.

GERMANY. The Prussian Chambers have voted the new penal code. The punishment of death for the heaviest offences is retained, but the executions are to take place in private. 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 Placetum Regium, 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 Cunonieum, 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 Lave thrown 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; tco. XXXL SCRAPS FROM NEWMARKET. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Yesterday's racing came 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 sous. 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, lee has but little thence 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 dgeat 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 4 on 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, 1651. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Mademoiselle Caroline Duprez appeared last evening in the character of Amine, in La Sonnainbula, and achieved certainly her greatest triumph hitherto. Her youthful and in 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, Madill:). 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 have yielded. She had her re ward; never has this scene as a whole been so effectively rendered, the audience felt that this was the case, and at the conclusion she was called on and rapturously applauded. The far• famed finale, " Ah ! non ginnge," was most bril liantly, and at the same time most expressively ren dered, and excited a perfect furore. At the fall of the curtain: she was called on three times; but even this did not satisfy the audience, who demanded 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. Ho was most de servedly encored in the "Ah perchZ,." 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 imaginable:; and Sig. Coletti appeared in the last scene of I due Foscari as the old Doge, and acted 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 Majesty's Theatre, and that the principal characters would be sustained by Madame Sontag and Signori La blache and Ferranti. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. Masai/leHo 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 Bailin 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 year 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 9,864,756/., leaving a balance of taxes reduced or repealed to the amount of 27,083,747 1 . Between 1822 and 1830 the net reductions amounted to 17,078,4091. ; between 1830 and 1840, to 5,258,608/.: and between 1840 and 1850, to 4,746,7301. The total revenue for the year 18 9 2 was 54,135,743/. ; and for 185 t 0 s , 52,810,680/. From a statement of the value of our cmpo_r__ and exports during the same years, it appears that i i i ato l_B 2 Z the value of imports into the United Kiugdom, ca cu cl ex. t the official rates of valuation, was 30,530,663/. ; and t of as ports, 53,464,123/. In 1849 the value of the i mports was ports, and that of the exports, 190,101,39 41 . THE DUCHY OF CORNWALL.—The total revenue of the Duchy of Cornwall, for the year ending Dec. 31, 1850, was 60,052/., composed of the following items :—Balance re maining at the bankers to the credit of the account of the council of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, on Dec. 31,1849, 5,254/. ; rents and arrears, 22,523/. ; produce of royal ties of coal mines in the county of Somerset, 1,759 /. ; royal ties and reservations of dues and rents of mines and quar ries in the counties of Cornwall and Devon, exclusive of the water of Tamar, 2,180/. ; profits of wood sales, 168/. •, com pensation in lieu of tin coinage duties, post groats and white rents, 15,741/. ; dividends on stock, 1,144/. ; repayment of advances, 11,278/. The expenditure consists of payments made to his Royal Highness's use, 38,675/. ; salaries of o ffi cer s, &e , 5,901/. ; superannu a ti on a ll owances an d .annu ities, 2,852/. ; donations and charities, 845/. • law charges, &c., 3,2631. ; balance in banker s ' h an d s, 8,609/: ROYAL HARWICH YACHT CLUB.—We hail with delight the spirit of many noble yachtmen in this neighbour hood belonging to this club, whom we are glad to observe are already alive to the near approach of the yachting season. The following yachts are amongst those which are fitting out :—Musquito (cutter), Novice (schooner), Hon. Lord Albert Conyngham Denyson ; Mona and Maid of Kent (cutters), Hon.

We have good reason to believe that the next Royal Eastern Coast Regatta will be a more glorious one than we have ever yet experienced, as the Royal Harwich Yacht Club musters by far a larger number of yachts this than at any previous season.—lpswich Express. As LIGHT AS A FEATHER.— The largest quill Of the golden eagle weighs only 65 grains, and seven such s qll e tu! do not weigh more than a copper pennypiece. The fe tp!-f of a common fowl weighing 37 ounces weigh only one one ounces ; and the entire plumage of an owl we i g hs ounce and a half. THE QUEEN'S COLLEGE, BIRMINGHA M ' last, the monthly meeting of the council, held on Tuesday last, there were present the Rev. and Worshipful Ch_anrac;l,lor Law, the the resident vice principal; the Rev. Prebendarytreflas urer, the deputy warden; the Dean of the Faculty , ° Edward Armileld, Esq treasurer, Joseph Webster, Esq. , a addition c ci e t l oi l ox o n r , and other members. It was announced that tha Samuel Wilson Warneford had pa,idanodvoef_ tlli aMoml.r. in Chan w r 0 Law, the Rev. Vaughan T homas F.R.S., in trust, the munificent sum to his former noble gift 000/, towards the e n d owmen t such appoi n tment of the Professorship pf Pa o s f toTal Theology, to be vested in th e senators of the 'arts de p artment. A donation of 251. was also recorded from the Right Hon. Lord Leigh towards the completion of the new buildings. At the same board, Dr. James Johnstone. the senior was appointed joint phy sician of the General Profes sor Hospital, of Medicine, and Dr. Samuel Wright, joint Professor of a 31edi legeca and Therapeutic , i n th e me di ca l department Materi ca pt the . and on the 26th July following participated, off Santa Cruz, Teneriffe, in that ship's able escape from tbe two 44-gun frigates Vesta and Reg‘ineree. On next removing, with Captain Blackwood, to the Penelope, 36, he assisted, while at the blockade of Malta. at the hard-wrought ( apture, March 31, 1800, of Le Guillaume Tell, of 84 gen , and 1,000 men, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Lecrts, subsequently to which we find him attending the expedition 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 Lord Nelson, in the • Mediterranean, to an acting lieu tenancy in the Leviathan, 74, to which be 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, S 2, 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 cf 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 privet 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 comnelled 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 Hasler and of the Royal Clarence Victualling-yard-an appointment he retained until December, 1846. He married, in 1333, Julia, eldest daughter of W. P. Georges, Esq., and has issue five sons and one daughter." SUPERINTENDENTSHIP OF DEPTFOYD DOCKYARD. - The officer indicated in yesterday's Sun, as having been appolnted to succeed Rear-Admiral Sir John Hill, as superintendent of Deptford Dock and Victuailing Yard, will have been recog nised from our description as Captain the Hon. Eichard Saunders Dundas, C. 8., formerly private secretary to the Earl of Haddington, when First Lord of the s Afltniiatty, and lately commanding the Powerful, 84, in the Me:, eesaneans A better 'selection could not possibly have been mane, 40r 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 Dundas (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., DLL., 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., 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 Gannymed e , 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 Glendower, 42, and Sparrowhawk, 18 ; he was ad vanced to the command, June 23, 18s3, 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 first of her class that ever circumnavigated the globe) he re turned 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. IN/Ale 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. lie 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 lion. 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 I'ortlana 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's yacht the Portsmouth, Master-Commander Read. Letters from the squadron of evolution still give the palm to Mr. White's Phaeton. Woorswicit, Aram 8.-The Right lion. Sir Francis T.

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 afternoon 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 giment. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, APRIL 8.

STOCK EXCHANGE.—The transactions to-day were as follow :—Great Northern, 17 5, 4—Y0rk, Newcastle, and Ber wick (Newcastle Extension), IVA—York and North Mid land, 26A. STATE OF TRADE.—MANCHESTER, APRIL 8. — The market to-day is similar to that of Saturday in its chief 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, Madapolanas, aid other goods, chiefly for the India trade, we hear that a concession of 1 L d. 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 effected. 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 60's, and twist from 30's to 46's, from %d. to d. lower. NATIONAL REFORM ASSOCIATION.—The third monthly soirée of the National Reform Association was held ou Monday at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-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 Governments 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 im, , 7 ortant 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 proceediogl. six month, )ne hundred and fifty-es- hours, and minutes. Why tease me about such a trifle as three years' additional injustice? Surely nine years of pro. batiou should have schooled us to greater endurance. have paid up good-humouredly enough throughout, why scruple about the odd change ? Sir CharlefFood 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 th is 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 hills 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 .strings, 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 se little to them, does it much signify to the 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 • classes of the country are to be coaxed and hustled by the Chancellor of the Exchequer into the wilderness to attune 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, and 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 eontributions to the tax. The advantages they receive are participated in by all, but the extra paym ent is peculiar to them alone. Par. Peel put this point in a very drew clear way on Monday night. First, he very p roperly a distinction between a life income and a permanent in come ; and a fortiori, between a permanent in 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 ter 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 lan unequal and unjust manner, and which would prevent these provident steps being taken in order that he might, with the prod uce o f 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 cases 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 Chanceller of the Ex chequer ?" Then, again, if we regard the iniquitous armee 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 Ranting Mr. Wil son, who pro hay 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 figural with the diminished returns to the income-tax under Sche dule D 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 long as the present method of assessment shall endure. The case between the Finance Minister and the taxpayers is merely that of Rob Roy and of his constituents over again :- " He may take who 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. But, 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 for 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 here 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 500/. a year is 124,733. There :are 2 0 ,200 professional and commercial persons in the receipt of above 5001. 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 more. The fraud but lessens the ref venue, and pro tanto insures the continuance of the mo un ds other arguments were wanting, the necessity on fiscsal - r for obtaining more faithful returns should be sufficienta in ducement to Sir Charles Wood and his colleagues to reconsi der the assessment of the tax. It is, however, impossibly r Olt after the declaration of the Chancellor of th e Monday night, to entertain mu ch hope as it from that Exchequer quarter. for the system re f present the nt u upon regret this determination tile moreseems prob able that the income-tax will fo r a long time_ to come form an in tegral and important porthonreoufs t t he re fi s s t ca fo l coun try.
