The mas.es know no more now than they did on the 3d of February of the chances of anything like financial retrenchment. They continue still, as they did up till that period, doubtful as to the possi bility of relieving themselves of the miseries of suffer ing taxation under the Schedules D and E. Nothing has happened as yet within the walls of the New Palace at Westminster to relieve the popular mind from its prolonged uncer tainty. To the Chancellor of the Exchequer, there fore, the public still look with unabated, or rather intimated from Berlin not merely his own ready acquiescence in the scheme, but that also of HYDE BRANDT VON DER LASA, the Prussian Secretary of Legation at Frankfort, and one of the most illustrious chess-players in Christendom. When it is borne in recollection that we ourselves, as a nation, are repre sented in London by the greatest master of the game now living, we may look forward with eager anxiety and with no small degree of confidence to the opening of the future Tournament. Happily the funds already collected in furtherance of the scheme more than justify its originators in promot ing the labour of its completion —no less than 3501. sterling having been subscribed among the members of the managing committee alone. With the celebrity of HOWARD STAUNTON as an en couragement, with the enterprise of its originators as a perpetual incitement, and with the munificence displayed among the members of the managing com mittee as an example to subsequent promoters, the brilliant enterprise we are alluding to cannot but close with the happiest consequences. After deduct ing all necessary expenses, it is proposed that the residue of the money collected shall be divided into seven; graduated portions, the first one-third, the second one-tenth, the third one fourteenth, and so on to the seventh one-sixtieth, and that a supplementary prize consisting of a set of ivory chess-men, with a suitable chess-board, inscribed with the winner's name and victory, shall be played for by the principal competitors. These we have already shown will include some of the greatest chess-players of our generation, and, acting with a liberality deserving of every imaginable praise, the committee have decided that.the Tournament shall be open to all parties without distinction, either in regard to country or association. Under such auspices as those we have indicated, we are sanguine that the enterprise will turn out in the highest degree satis factory, and this in spite of the most shameless calumny and the most ungenerous opposition. •REP: SZAILES.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19, 1851. In the Souse of Lords, last night, Lord TORRINGTON gave notice of a motion for Tues day week on the affairs of Ceylon, and stated that he should take that opportunity cf refuting the calumnious misrepresentations of which, as Governor of Ceylon, he had been the victim. shortly afterwards adjourned. Their Lords hi p s ahor In the COMMGIIS, The CHANCELLOR of the E XCHEQUER stated that he should not make his financial statement on Friday. Mr. SADLEIR th en moved the following resolution:— si That it is expedient to substitute for the existing mode of varying the amount of tithe rent-char g es in Ireland a self - acting system, whereby th e amount of all tithe rent-charges in IrJand shall be increased or dimi nished every year, acco rdin g to the average prices of corn, as ascertained by public advertisement, in a man _ ner similar to the existin; method of varying the tithe rent-charges in England and W ales." Sir GEORGE GREY slug( sted that the flon. Gentle man should bring in a Bill on the buhject, which he would not oppose; but he hoped the remllution would not be pre4sed. After a short converstion, in which Lir. G. A. IlAmmTos, Mr. FRENCH . , Mr. S. CRAWFORD, and Sir 11. W. BARRON took part, the motion vra , withdrawn. Mr. ANSTEY proceeded to call attention to the al leged obstruction effered to the claims of the infant Raja of SATTARA, in the denial of a hearing before the Court of Privy Council, complained of in the petition to the House of Commons of the n‘xt friend of the said infant, presented on the 14th instant; and moved a re solution to the effect that the grave matters contained in the petition referred to deserve the serious attention of the House. - The motion fell to the ground for want of a seconder. The adjourned debate OR the Ecclesiastical Titles As sumption Bill was then resumed. Mr. BLEWITT did not think thc; POPE intended either inflamed curiosity; and those who appear, however unwillingly, to interpose between the nation and the long-desired financial statement, call down upon their heads the accumulated vengeance nurtured by pro crastination. As to the objection raised by the Prime Minister against the line of conduct pursued in the present in stance by the Hon. Gentleman the Member for In verness-shire, namely, that he is unfairly holding the Ceylon question in terrorem over the occupants of the Treasury benches—that is surely a most preposterous quibble, seeing that Ministers have been able to manage the affairs of the empire during the last three years unembarrassed by the threatened in • vestigations in Lord TORRINGTON'S govern ment all along looming down heavily upon the Cabinet. A sword of DAMOCLES, the in quiry may still be, but it has hung quivering over the leader of the Administration during three years past, and the nerves of the statesmen trembling under it may be presumed to be no weaker now than for merly. At any rate Mr. BAILLIE cannot be charged with the continuance of the Ministerial dilemma in this particular matter, seeing that he is only induced to remove his motion from the notice-book by reason of the threat held out to himself, and through him to the country at large, that the financial statement shall be made subsequently to the period of its settlement. Acting as the Member for Inverness-shire has done in regard to the Ceylon inquiry, he has provoked the complaints of the First Lord of the Treasury. Had he decided, nevertheless, differently he would have infallibly excited against himself the indignation of the e n ti re commun i ty . E m b arrasse d f or a moment by finding himself between either branch of the alter native, Mr. BAILLIE has judiciouslydecided upon selecting the lesser—thereby enabling the public to arrive somewhat ear li er at some definite notion as to the character acter of the fi nanc i a l statement of the Go vernment. Meanwhile it cannot but he gratifying to observe the gallant announcement made last even ing the Upper House of P ar li ament by Viscount T OR LINGTON, to the effect th at the Noble Lord would early t h a e date now himself bring the matteratas as pPssible un der the serious considerati on of Legis lature. Thanks to the stimu lus imparted to the enterp r ise of all classes by the a pp roaching Exhibition, under takings of the most diversified character have been adventured upon in all directions.

GREAT ANTI-PAPAL LEAGUE.—Yesterday the foundation was laid of a religious league, which promises to become the greatest of the kind which modern times have witnessed. A number of noblemen, gentlemen, clergymen of the Church of England, and Dissenting ministers, of va rious denominations, met in Osborne's Hotel, Adelphi, for the purpose of consulting together as to what ought to be done by evangelical Protestant denominations, with a view to resist the aggressions of Popery. Among the noblemen and gentlemen present were—the Earl of Ducie, Lord Ash ley, Sir Culling Eardley Smith, the Hon. and Rev. Monta gue Villiers, the Rev. W. W. Champneys, the Rev. Edward Auriol, the Rev. T. R. Birks, the Rev. Dr. Morison, the Rev. Dr. Campbell, the Rev. Dr. Bunting, the Rev. Dr. Beecham, the Rev. Dr. Steane, with a great number of eminent lay men. The meeting lasted three hours, and was characterised throughout by the greatest unanimity and cordiality. It was resolved that duly organised and most energetic measures shall be forthwith adopted in order to enter the arena with the hosts of Popery. Advertiser.

JAMES'S THEATRE.--Last night a performance took place at this theatre by the members of the West ern Dramatic Society, in aid of the funds of the Dispensary for Consumption, Margaret-street, Pegent-street. The per formances commenced with Colman's admirable comedy of the Heir at Law, in which Me'srs. Fawdon, J. H. Emery, Spicer, Edwards, Chester, and G. Harrison sustained the principal parts in capital style. Mrs. Newbery made an excellent Lady Duberly, and Miss Sydney a very pretty Cecily Home spun. The farces of the Day after the Wedding and the Turned Head concluded . the evening's ent erta i nmen t s . Taken as a whole, the acting of the gentlemen last evening was the best amateur performance we have witnessed for ome time, and we consider we pay them a high compliment when we say they equalled the ladies, who are always the best performers en these occasions. It was to be regretted the house was so thinly attended. - - THB FUNERAL OF THE LATE SIR ALEXANDER HOOD, BART., M.P., OF WoTTON HOUSE, SOMERSET.— Yes tel day morning the mortal remains of the late Sir Alexander Hood, Bart., M.'., were removed from his late town resi dence, No. 43, Witupole street, Cavendish-square, to the Great Western Railway, where the body was conveyed by pecial train to his late country seat, Wotton House, Somer set, whence it was removed to its final resting-Place in the family vault of the parish church of Buttle.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. Q ~ ~~ S V ---~~-- The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 7,000 bales, of which 2,000 American were taken on speculation. The market closed firm at an advance of 1 / a d. per lb. on American under 7 1 4 d. per lb. Other kinds are without alteration in price.-In Railway Shares a good busi ness was done at lower prices. The market closed very weakly. We noticed a few days since the general petition to Par liament of the merchants of the City, and may now follow np our allusion by a reference to a like memorial from the St. Katharine Dock Company. It is impossible to enter at length into the detail of annoyances occasioned to, and diffi culties endured by, the company, through the mistaken zeal of the Customs' solicitor. The summing up of the case is in the following terms :- " That the violent and offensive attack therefore which was, as stated at the outset of:this petition, made upon the dock establishment by a large body of Custom-house officers on that day was as unprovoked as it was unexpected ; and your petitioners will venture to add was as unjustifiable as it was unprovoked and unexpected. There is, indeed, neither parallel nor excuse for it. In the cases of the proceedings by the Excise, a branch of the revenue inevitably requiring sudden visitations to discover illicit processes in the moment of their actual operation, it might be necessary for large bodies of officers suddenly to surround and enter the pre mises, the proprietors and managers being in all such cases principals in the offence. While in the case of the docks it was quite impossible, as any body conversant with the prac tiee and regulations of those establishments ought to have known, that any fraudulent processes could be carried on on such a scale as to require a legion of revenue officers to come upon them by surprise as the only chance of detecting them, there being, moreover, no motive for fraudulent practices of a great extent, unless the directors and proprietors were as sumed to have a beneficial interest in the result-an assump tion which was made by the Crown prosecution against the London Docks, but recoiled on the prosecutors. If, however, in the instance of the large force of Custom-house officers suddenly entering the St. Katharine Dock premises, great quantities of goods legally liable to seizure, as involving frauds on the revenue to a considerable extent, had been dis covered, there might have been a prima facie excuse for so extraordinary an exhibition; but the actual result was the discovery and seizure of a most insignificant quantity of sugar scrapings and of sweepings of other goods. "It was apparently from disappointment at a result so ridiculously small, compared with the vast means employed, that led to the further examinations, in the course of which the officers of the Customs seemed determined to make up for the insignificance of the first seizure, by seizing the very great quantities is respect of which the numerous informa tions before referred to are pending; for which seizures, how ever, your petitioners firmly believe there are no justifiable grounds; but your petitioners humbly submit that if there were sufficient ostensible grounds for those seizures, and for the imputations upon the company's officers and servants, nothing can justify the mode of proceeding in respite of them, which has been adopted by the Board of Customs. Every expedient, of the most procrastinated and expensive litigation, with the aid of the great powers possessed by the Customs' authorities, has been resorted to, and your petition ers cannot hesitate to characterize these proceedings against them as involving the charge of a flagrant abuse on the par t of the Board of Customs of the great powers and privilege with which it is invested. " Your petitioners therefore pray tbat your Hon. House will be pleased to appoint a Committee to inquire into the constitution and manage ment of the Board of Customs, with a view to remedy the abuse of its powers, of which your petitioners have such great. cause of complaint." At a meeting of the Grocers and Tea Dealers' Benevolent • Protection Society the annual report was submitted. This states that the contributions of the past ycar exceeded those of any previous year, the annual subscriptions being 8901. 7s. • donations, 5531. 2s. ; and dividends on stock, 4191.

The report,further stated that Sir John Davis, Esq., had consented to preside at the annual dinner on the sth of May. Certain new rules were agreed to, having for their object the immediate relief of widows and orphans of deceased pensioners. and the carrying forward the votes of unsuccessful candidates. The report was unani mously adopted. In the Amsterdam market, on the 17th inst., Dutch Stock had generally a more favourable tendency, and business was animated.

A large number of petitions were presented against the establishment of a Roman Catholic hierarchy in England, and among them one by Mr. HENLEY from Oxfordshire, praying also for the repeal of the Catholic Emancipation Act of 1829, which excited animated and ironical cheers from both sides of the House. Lord DUNCAN presented several petitions against the window duty. Mr. WAKLEY presented a petition very numerously signed from Northumberland praying for a modification of the income-tax. He also presented petitions from Finsbury and Lambeth. Mr. WAKLEY also presented a petition from the coach-builders of Kensington praying for a reduction of the tax upon carriages. Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD gave notice that he should, when the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill went into Committee, move that it should not extend to Ireland. LEAVE OF ABSENCE.

On the motion for the second reading of this Bill, Mr. FRE WEN said that before the Bill received the approval of the House he hoped it would consider deli berately what it was about to do. He had received seve ral deputations from the growers of hops, and from the representations of them all he found that the law was in jurious to every class except those who were most im mediately benefited by it. Whether their representa tions were correct or not, it was plainly evident that the hop duty was oppressive and unjust.—(Hear, hear.) That duty was imposed as a war tax during the last cen tury, and an expectation had always been held out that it should in the time of peace be remitted altogether. With respect to the imposition of an excise duty he would say but little, but what he would say was that where there was a diference made between one part of the country and another, the tax imposed was evidently unjust and must of necessity be injurious. He did not hesitate to say that it was to the operation of this duty it was owing that the growth of hops had been reduced from 56,322 acres, in 1837, to 43,125 acres during the last year. In Herefordshire there had been a reduction from 10,603 acres, in 1837, to 5,125 acres, in last year. In Sussex the reduction was from 12,068 acres to 9,780 acres. In Essex a great breadth of land devoted to the cultivation of hops had been reduced to 125 acres. In Lincolnshire the acreage; had been re duced from 607 to 260; in Wiltshire, from 1,222 to only 5 acres; and in Worcestershire the reduction was from 1,888 to 1,031 acres. In fact the only places where there had been no reduction was about Farnham and in Kent, where the growers enjoy peculiar advantages. He did not mean to say that if a man took a good sample into the market he should not get a good price for his goods, but the advantages were altogether on one side, and as the law as it at present stood was not only op pressive but calculated to encourage trickery—(llear, hear) —he trusted that the House would take some mea styes to protect the public. In order therefore to minis ter to that object he should move the second reading of the Bill before the House. Mr. DEEDES said that the Hon. Gentleman below him (Mr. Frewen) had complained of the unequal ope ration of the hop-duty. He did not mean to defend the imposition of an excise duty on hops, for he himself had frequently waited with others upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with a view to obtain a remission of the duty; but his Mon. Friend had mixed up two subjects of a totally different character. It he had divided his Bill into two parts, he should very gladly have supported him; but the Bill as it now stood was altogether injurious, and would practically work great mischief. He stated that his object was to protect the public. Now it should be remembered that hops, when prepared for the brewer, were a very delicate article and required much judgment to distinguish a superior from an inferior quality, and, therefore, every assistance ought to be rendered to the public, in order to ascertain the quality. The beat guide that they possibly could have was the amount of duty paid upon the article. For this reason he should move that the Bill be read this day six months. Mr. H. DRUMMOND had very great pleasure in seconding the amendment. Everybody knew that Farn ham hops were the best in the country, and that Sussex hops were the worst.—(Hear, hear.) It was utterly im possible to protect the public without some legislative interference. He bad no objection to the Hon. Member for Sussex getting :up a little Parliamentary capital in the face of a general election, but he did protest against imposing his own advantage on the shoulders of the public, and he should therefore vote for the amendment. Mr. FULLER said that, seeing the great opposition which the :Bill had met with, and was likely :to meet with he should advise him to withdraw the Bill. Mr. BASS said that being a large buyer of hops he might be permitted to say a few words on this subject. —(Hear, hear.) He merely wished to observe that hops were an article which it required great judgment and experience to estimate. There were many hop mer chants who knew very little about beer, and many a great brewer who knew very little about hops, so that he was not surprised to see this Bill in the House; but he hoped that this would be the last they should ever hear of it, for he was quite sure that the public required every pro tection that it could obtain. No greater facility could be afforded to the ignorant and inexperienced than the amount of duty paid and the marks which were placed upon the several bags; and he should, therefore, vote against the Bill. After a few words from Mr. HODGES, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that without wishing to throw any imputation on his Ho nourable Friend the Member for Sussex, he could not help saying that it appeared to him that the Bill was brought in to serve one object, while it in effect professed to aim at another. With regard to the remission of the hop duties altogether, he thought that a fair subject for discussion, and when the proper time came he should be ready to enter:into it; but this was altogether a matter of a different character, and feeling that no Bill ought to be brought into the House in the way in which this Bill had been introduced, he should vote for the amendment. Mr. PLUMPTItE said that if the differential duties were equalised no, reliance whatever could be placed on the marks on the bag, and, therefore, they would be come perfectly useless. Mr. CURTEIS said that the Government had already lost much of their popularity in his part of the country, and he warned them that their opposition to this plea sure would tend greatly to increase the dislike with which they were regarded. Mr. FREWEN, in reply, repudiated the charge of unfairness which had been thrown out against him, and .. stated that the hop-growers in different parts o of the country ought to be placed precisely te p to sition as the growers of wheat. Each took his sa . e d for his price market, and let each in like manner depenhear: ) There upon the quality of his goods.—(Elear' to one grower in the sa m ple_ was no reason for showing more standing the taunt of seeking for popularity, than to the other, and he should , therefore, ptewristihs; with his Bill.

WALL presented a number of petitions against WILLIAMS moved the second reading of Mr. W.lost. this Bill. He ha dt undertakenriosroaabeeraosf the eiha lcConstituents,of it at session, a a t t h h a e e s request of a grea th into the details of it. The first trading was i A s th c ow t uc t l s o d p mn r o e at v t e e gr n oi t a alSitYulnet d_:a ge Charles the Second andthe prieciple of that Bill was much the same as the present_ Bill. The evidence which had been taken on the subject before the Commit tee of the Lords disclosed a s t a t e o f circum stances which called for som e legislative interference. There were many sho p kee pers who did not open their shops by their ow n will, but were forced to it by the c o m p etition of their neighbours, and within a few . htmdred yards of that House there were no less than 700 shops opened on a Sunday, and that not for the common necessaries of l if e . It had been acknowledged by every age and nation that an intermission of labour at least one day in the week was a bsolutely necessary for the moral, physical, and social w elfare of mankind, even in countries and times where the Christian religion was not known, and where the Sabbath was not a Divine command. It was not his intention to go into the provisions cf the Bill, and if the Hon. Member for Salisbury would consent to the second reading of the Bill he (Mr. Williams) would propose that the Bill should go into a Select Committee and all its provisions bo thoroughly wouldconsidered.see With regar d to th e principle of the Bill, he could not see the slightest objection to it; any one who read the ev id ence which b ad b een t a ken on the subject that this system of Sunday trading entailed upon its victims a slavery more rigorous and severe than any other which could be imagined. His object was not so much to secure the religious observance of the Sabbath as to allow a day of rest to an overworked popu lation. Mr. BARING WALL thought the Hon. Gentleman who bad just sat down had treated the matter in a very fair manlier, but he contended that he had made out no case for legislation. He did not place much reliance on the number of petitions which had been presented, because he knew how they were manufactured, and they proceeded most from people who really had not the deepest interest in the existence or non-existence of Sunday trading. But if they legislated for London, why should they not le gislate fur the whole country, if Sunday trading was to be prevented?
