The income tax he estimated at 5,400,000/., and the stamp-tax in Ireland at 120,0001., but if the House should re fuse to renew those taxes, there would be instead of a surplus, a deficiency of 3,680,0001. When Sir R. PEEL first proposed these taxes the deficit was only 2 ,140,0004, and if Hon. Gentlemen opposite thought that a sufficient reason for the imposition of the income-tax, he could hardly think that they would now oppose its continuance. He, certainly, on that occasion opposed the imposition of the income-tax; but he stated at the time, that if it were to be imposed for the purpose of making a great alteration in the import duties he should be prepared to support its renewal, and acting on that principle he had supported its renewal when proposed by Sir R. PEEL in 1845. The timber duties, the corn duties, and the sugar duties had been reduced, and therefore ho was justified in proposing the continuance of that tax. If the House did not accede to his proposition there must either be a loan or a reduction of expenditure to that amount, he did not believe such reduction possible, or they must impose new taxes to that amount. We had been for years past repealing taxes which pressed upon industry, and which could not be re-imposed, and there Isere other taxes of the same character far more ob jectionable than the income. tax. Ho trusted, there fore, that those who wished to 'carry out the system of improvement of our commercial system at present in progress would support his proposition for the renewal for a limited time of the income-tax. He did not think it advisable to go into the details of the measure ; in the course of the discussion on the Bill there would be ample opportunities for considera tion. He had received various suggestions for altera tions in all the schedules, and all supported by good reasons. Having considered the subject most carefully he bad come to the conclusion that the only practical mode was to continue an equal and uni form rate upon all descriptions of income from whatever sources derived. With regard to the mode of levying the tax under Schedule E, he was willingto enter into dis cussion upon the subject, but he believed it would be found most convenient to adopt the same course that at present existed. He thought it would be but right to continue the exemption of Ireland from the tax as here tofore, and he proposed to continuo it. He proposed to renew the stamp duties in Ire land for the same term as the income-tax in England, viz., for a term of three years, and he hoped the House would come to a speedy decision on the sub ject, as, if it should be refused, it would be desirable that the Hon. Gentleman who would then occupy the place which he had the honour to fill, should have as much time as possible to prepare his financial scheme.— (Hear, hear.) Hia Hon. Friend the Member for Mon trose had asked him to propose a completely new scheme of finance; why, it was the hardest task that had been imposed on a Chancellor of the Exchequer. By whom were taxes paid? Why, the Honourable Member opposite the ether night had said that the malt-tax was paid by the farmer ; and he had even contended that the tobacco duty was paid by the farmer, his Hon. Friend had not any right to call upon hint to make any return regard ing those things which were matters of opinion merely. He had caused returns to be made up to January last of the duty collected on articles which we eat, drink, and smoke; and they amounted to 31,821,798/. The duty on manufactured articles amounted to 2,452,0004, and on seeds to 742,0001.; all those duties fell on the consumer, the whole amount ing to 35,720,000/. The duties on trade, including insu rances :and bill and receipt stamps, were 4,461,906/. There were paid for locomotion 641,0004, for news papers and advertisements, 511,0001., and taken alto gether they amounted to 4,2)0,152/. The total duties on property were 12,451,000/. The amount of the window-tax was 1,856,000/. The local rates amounted to 30,000,0001. in the three countries. Hon. Gentle men would therefore see how large a portion of the taxes of the country was derived from the conssumer,aud when those taxes were reduced, they were in general, in con sequence of increased consumption, more than re covered in a very short space of time. Having thus met as far as he could the request of his Hon. Friend behind him, he would allude to acme proposals which had been made elsewhere to make a great reduction of taxation, and to trust to chance for making up the deficiency. Ho could not accede to the proposition. Neither in commercial nor in political philosophy could they afford to have a revolution every year.— (Hear, hear.) The policy of 1842 was firmly established, and it was their duty to steadily pursue it, and to follow it, land that was the course the Govern ment had determined to adopt. He had stated that the probable surplus would be 1,890,0002 occasioned by an increase of income of 139,0001. and a de crease of expenditure of 3,900,0001. He proposed, should the income-tax be continued, to make some re duction of our debt, that was the first claim on us. In the course of the last year they had paid off the amount which they had borrowed in the year 1848, and the interest on it, viz., 2,330,000/. He thought they ought never to start on a financial year with a less surplus than 1.000,0001, which surplus ho pro posed to maintain, which would leave a surplus still available for the reduction of taeatior, and he had nu merous applicants during the last month, each calling for the total repeal of a tax which wctild more than absorb the whole surplus. He had determined that, on the whole, it would be advisable to reduce those taxes which bear on the health of the community; he, therefore, proposed a certain alteration of the window-duties. As those duties amounted to 1,836,0001., the total abroga tion of them would absorb the whole surplus, and would be unjust to others; ho proposed to give a con siderable relief in that tax, because he believed it pressed harder on country houses than on houses in town, and he professed to relieve them.—(Cheers and laugh ter.) Except as to the mode of assessment a great deal might be said in favour of retaining the tax, as one to which people were already accustomed (Lcud laughter)—and to which existing inter ests had accommodated themselves. House property, then, had already been relieved from the house duty and the brick duty, and therefore he did not think this property had a primary claim to relief. He admitted that the mode of levying the tax was ob jectionable, as being levied on every opening for the admission of light or air, and, there fore, it produced disease. The present tax was imposed on a house according to the number of windows; he proposed to abrogate altogether the present mode of levying that tax, and to substitute for it a tax levied upon the value thereof, and to apply it to all new houses. The size of a house was no test of its value, but its rental was, and he proposed to levy, instead of a window-tax, a tax upon the value of the house; but applying it to all new houses, he proposed to modify it with regard to exist ing houses. A house in a fashionable square would, under this system, pay more than one in an unfashionable part of the town. The proposal was, that all new houses under the value of 201. a year should be exempt, but above that value they should pay a certain per-centage, that all above that should pay a certain per-centage. That all existing houses of less value than 20/. a year should be exempt; that all above 20/. a year should pay two-thirds of their present amount of window-tax, that existing houses of greater value than 201. a year, paying now no window -tax, should pay two-thirds of that amount of rate, and that new houses should pay a rate of one shilling in the pound. Upon shops and farmhouses he proposed to impose a tax of 91 in the pound instead of is. in the pound. This would exempt the great majority of farm-houses, and the produce of the new tax he calculated would be 1,155,000/4 the loss to the revenue being 700,000/. All reference to windows being done away with, the objection on sanitary grounds was also'done away with ; all existing houses would be either exempt or have their payment reduced one-third. He next proposed to deal with the duties on coffee, the revenue from which had fallen off 77,000 i. This was occasioned, it was said, by adulteration of coffee with chicory. It had been stated that he h a d a di rect i nterest in the . growth of chicory; he had only to say that ho never grew a root of chicory in his life, and ho did not believe that any bad been grown upon an acre of land in his possession.—(A laugh.) He did not believe the admix ture of chicory consumptiondiminishelodwethrientheprie i c oft placed coffee, on the contrary, by g coffee within the reach of many who had not b-fore consumed it ; and he learned from grocers that chicory made coffee more palatable and more nutri tious. In America, where no duty existed, this same admixture took place. He believed that the buyer must protect himself against adulteration; ho was not, theretore, disposed to incur the odium of imposing an Excise duty on chicory, but he did propose to meet the evil by reducing the duty on coffee. The duty on foreign coffee was sd. a lb., and on colonial 4d. Et lb.; and whilst the import of colonial coffee hail increased, that of foreign coffee had diminished. He did not think the protec tion of this differential duty was of much value to the colo nial -, rower • he proposed, duty was reduce the duties on both,' and to ' equalize them by imposing an equal duty of 3(1. Per lb, and to propose the same duty on . the importation of chicory. The loss of revenue would bee1d7o;000/. The next ar atierleeattocluvmhipcihaith would had been madewas h tl T i 0 u r u fear of being exposed to the competition of3rthon foreign who used nntaxed timber. This acted hardly itsprespnt ships of an inferior class, and he proposed t upon foreign timber to one-half timber. shipowners proposedr eiig um . o e r f t theiro itbuilder,s o. oa amount reduceou n a t s . the that duty wasregarded to say, upon sawed timber to lOs and upon ' rough t," ' b - There was another item upon which he reduce the duty, and that was upon agricultural seeds. This he believed was the only duty that the agriculturist exclusively paid. Upon clover seed and grass seed alone there was a duty p aid of 30,000!. o u t of 35,000/. raised upon all seeds. The present duty was ss. upon foreign seeds, and 2s. 6d. upon colonial seeds; he pro posed to reduce the whole to a uniform rate of ls. per cwt., which would involve a loss to the revenue of 30,0001. Many propositions had been made to cast what were called the local burdens on land on the Consolidated Fund. Such a change would pro duce a social revolution, by the removal of all the checks of local administration ; it was to the magistrates, the guardians, and the local boards, that the peace and safety of the country were owing, and if they transferred the payment of their burdens to the Government, they must also transfer the management; but there was one portion of these changes which he thought might be taken upon the general revenue, and that was a portion of the charge for the expenses of pauper lunatics. He proposed to leave the conduct of pauper lunatic asylums as it was at present, but to take upon the Consolidated Fund a portion of the maintenance of pauper lunatics, taking upon the ;Govern ment a larger portion of the expense of county lunatic asylums than of those paupers confined in private asvlums,so as to reduce the expense of the maintainance of these unfortunate persons to about the average expense of the maintenance of an ordi nary pauper; he proposed to take a charge of 150,0001. under this head for the United Kingdom. These were the proposals which he should in due time submit to the House. In the month of July there would be a reduction of duty on sugar of 330,0001, and that added to the reductions which would be proposed would be a gain to the community of 1,522,000/., but the loss:to the revenue he estimated at only 1,130,0001. The charge for the transfer of local rates was 150,0001., making a total loss to the revenue of 1,280,0007., leaving a surplus for future years at 612,000/., the actual loss for the next year being only 150,0004, being for next year a surplus of 952,0001., of other years of 612,000/ He could not but expect that this Budget would in many quarters create disappointment, but he did not think it con sistent to relieve, as he had been urged to do, the owners of land to a greater extent than he had proposed. Last year he had relieved them by a reduction of the stamp duty on deeds, and by the removal of the duty on bricks, and this year he reduced the duty on timber which they employed in the erection of farm buildings, and reduced the duty on seeds. He did not know that there was any other point on which he need trouble the House, and the resolution he should propose was for the renewal of the income-tax and of the stamp-duties in Ireland for three years, and he was prepared, if the House wished it, to postpone the discus sion to another opportunity.—(Hear, hear.) The resolutions having been proposed from the Chair, Mr. LlEnaixs rose, and after complimenting the Chan cellor of the Exchequer upon the ability of his elaborate statement, claimed from the Government ample time for the country to consider the important point whether or not the income-tax should be continued. He hoped they would not be asked to come to a decision that night, and he thought the House ought to have until Friday next to consider the matter. Lord JOHN RUSSELL consented to the postponement of the further consideration of the resolution until Friday. Mr. HOME objected to the apportionment of any part of the surplus to the reduction of the debt; it should all have been appropriated to the reduction of taxation. He ap proved of the removal of the window duties, but not of the imposition of the house tax. Lord DUNCAN considered that the proposition to impose a house tax would create great dissatisfaction. Sir Joni.; TYHELL did not object to the adulteration of coffee with chicory, but he thought that adulteration with other substances should be prohibited. Mr. W. WiLtanms objected to a house tax, and would prefer seeing any deficiency supplied by the extension of the probate and legacy duty to real property. Mr. Alderman SIDNEY objected to a house tax, and would oppose the renewal of the income-tax, unless a difference were made between incomes derived from trades and profes sions and those derived from invested property. Mr. SLAxEr proposed to relieve the landowners by granting the facilities for raising money on mortgage. Mr. EaDGEs and Mr. FREWEN advocated a repeal of the duty on bops. Mr. ALC,OCK, Sir W. JOLLIFFE, Mr. NEWDEGATE, and Mr. F. FItENCII expressed their disapproval of the statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr. RANXES approved of the repeal of the window duties, but reserved his opinion upon the other portions of the Budget. Mr. MITCHELL approved of the reduction in the timber duties. Mr. MENTZ would oppose the renewal of the income-tax. It was the most objectionable of all taxes. In reply to Sir B. HALL and Lord DUDLEY STuAux, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he did not intend to extend the house tax to Ireland. The Committee was likewise addressed by Colonel SIB THORP, Mr. W. BROWN, Mr. SANDALS, Mr. HOPE, Mr. HENLEY, and Captain HARRIS, when the House resumed. Mr. HAWES moved the second reading of the Passengers' Act Amendment Bill, the objects of which he explained. The Bill was read a second time, after some remarks from Mr. S. HERBERT and Mr. HENLEY. Mr. ANSTEY obtained leave to bring in a Bill for establish ing municipal councils in counties; Sir W. SomEnvziLE a Bill to amend the laws relating to the valuation of rateable property in Ireland; and Major BLACKALL, a Bill to extend the remedies provided by the Renewable Leaseholds Conver sion Act. The House adjourned at a Quarter to Twelve o'clock. Parturient mantes, nascitur ridicules mus. Never before has so ridiculous an abortion been ushered in with such magnificent pretensions. Never have the reasonable expectations of the people been so deeply and bitterly disappointed as by the " PRECIOUS BUDGET "—the inestimtsble boon (!)—which the Chancellor of the Exchequer has just bestowed upon the oppressed and suffering taxpayers of the United Kingdom. If Sir CHARLES WooD had to struggle against a deficiency—the ordinary condition of the Whig regime in financial matters—Some al lowances might be made. Without a sur plus fund to be disposed of, he could scarcely be expected to sanction any of those great fiscal experi ments, by which considerable relief would be afforded to the industrial classes, without any cor responding diminution of revenue , but, unfortu nately for his own fame and reputation as a states man, he has had handsome balances in 1850, and 1851, after providing for every liability and every necessary expenditure, and in the allocation of balances he has contrived to overthrow his own cha racter for competency and political integrity. The "Brick-dust Budget" of 1850 was bad enough. Much could not be alleged in its favour, and we candidly confess that we believed that it would have been utterly impossible to have produced a more im politic or more unstatesmanlike plan than last year's financial bantling of the Right Hon. Gentleman. But we must acknowledge our mistake. "Facilis de -Bcensus crverni." Our sagacious Minister of Finance has travelled more rapidly on the downward track than we could have ventured to anticipate. He has attained railroad speed during his decline, and his fall cannot long be averted. Nemo repente fuit turpissimus. A man must have been some time in office, and had his mind gradually har dened by the influences of that demoralizing situation, to render such an offence against public policy and public honesty possible. Sir CHARLES WOOD has contrived to disappoint the reasonable anticipations of all classes throughout the length and breadth of the land, and to heap a load of obloquy upon the Ministers whose misfortune it is to have him as a colleague, perfectly unprecedented at any former period of English history. 'We have had honest blunderers presiding over the financial destinies of the British nation. We have also had clever rogues (of course we allude only to the public cha racters, and do not invade the sacred precincts of private life) ; but it was reserved for the present Cabinet to place at the head of the most important and most arduous department one who was at the same time an incompetent blunderer and a political rogue. We now tell Lord JOHN RUSSELL earnestly and emphatically, and we say it more in sorrow than in anger, that Sir CHARLES WOOD is the evil genius of his Government, and that if he does not forthwith shake off the incubus, if he does not find a more popular, a more competent, and a more sagacious Chancellor of the Exchequer, he must be prepared to re linquish office, and make way for others who may not be so obstinate on such a point. Far better, say we, that the Protectionists should come into power, and that the Whigs should be placed in the position where they have ever shown themselves to be most consistent and most useful—viz., in opposition, than that the nation should be longer oppressed by the inequitable and impolitic, the dishonest and unwise mismanagement of the national finances, that has signalised the administration of Sir CHARLES WooD at the Exchequer. A combined and vigorous exer tion must therefore be made to remove him from office. Even if the entire Ministry be shaken in the attempt, it is a matter of but little con sequence in comparison to the evils that must follow from a continuance of Sir CHARLES WOOD as the English Minister of Finance. The Whig Ministers are, however, made of squeezable materials, they have repeatedly yielded to " the pressure from without," when sufficiently forcible. The "voice ofpublic opinion" has penetrated even into the deepest recesses of Down ing -street, and has been responded to, more especially on fiscal questions. Scarcely a session has passed since the Peel Ministry were removed from office, that the Premier has not been compelled to step forward, as the Deus ex machines, to save his Government from the gross and palpable errors of his Minister of Fi nance. Let him do so once more, and let him, at the same time, get rid of the incorrigible blockhead who has imposed upon him the painful necessity, and has brought so much disrepute and reproach on the entire Government. We must, however, allude to the contemplated changes which will be found set forth in e x k nso in our Parliamentary Summary. Sir C LEARLXB WOOD calculates, or asserts that he calculates, that h e s h all have a surplus of 1,892,0001. for the ensuing year. It is a portion, and a very discreditable portion, o f his system of tactics to make his estimates very m uc h below the actual probability. This will be found to To conclude with THE RINGDOVES, in which Messrs. C. Mathews, F. Matthews, Emil Baker, Mrs. F. Matthews, and Miss 3f. Oliver will appear. ROYAL OLYMPIC THEATRE.

No business of importance came before them. In the Commons, after the transaction of some preli minary business, the House resolved itself into a Com mittee of Ways and Means, and The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose to bring forward the Budget, and appealed to that indulgence of the House which he had often eaperienced. He deeply felt the importance of the proposals he was about to make. On former occasions when he had proposed the continuance of the income-tax there had been but little choice left to the House, but on the present occasion he felt there might be some opposition made to its continuance. The financial statement of the affairs of the nation up to the .sth January would give a very tolerable idea of what would be the state of affairs at the end cf the financial year, but it should be borne in mind that in the estimate he was about to submit that estimate would extend °var a period of 14 months. The impor bations of corn during the past year were nearly, but not quite equal to the importations of the year previous. Last year he had estimated, the income at 52,235,000/., the actual income was 52,810,0001. He estimated the inaome fbr the next year at 52,656,000/. He had estimated the Excise at 14,045,0001., and deducting the brick deities, at 13 ,595,0001,, the actual revenue up to sth April amounted to 13,685,0001. The estimated ex pendituie was 50 , 7 85,0001.; the actual expenditure up to April would be 50 ,134,500/. Ile estimated the receipts from the Customs for the ensuing yeaal. at 20 y 430 °COL, the same as l ast year. In the Ex. .4 eise he could not calculate on so large a receipt, in con sequence of the deficiency of the barley har vest. He calculated the Excise revenue at 14,000,0001. In stamps there would be a fur. they decrease, in consequence of the Act of last session, and he did not calculate upon a larger revenue from stamps than 6,310,000/. The taxes and property-tax he took at the same amount as this year—taxes, 4,344,0004; Pr°Pety-tax, 5,3 9 8,000/. ; and including Post-office, 8,030,000/. Crown lands and miscellaneous receipts, and old stores, as last year, which would give a total from these sources of 52,140,000/. lie now came to charges. There was a decrease iu the charge of the debt for the sale of terminable annuities,which would eventually extin guish a portion of the debt.

The vote for services would be this year 19,555,0004, beim , a reduction of about 30{),000L; from this must be deducted certain excesses of former estimates, an d Oa reduction for this year would be about 245,0001. In compliance with various requisitions the allowance of grotz to the tailor had been diminished and his pay' inerc.ased and the stoppages of the soldier's pay abroad had been diminished; this created an additional charge of 60,000/.

We do not often agree with the Honourable and Gallant Colonel the Member for Lincoln, but on the present occasion we cordially concur with him in stating, that "a weaker state ment never was delivered by a Chancellor of the Exchequer of any party than that which has just fallen from the Right Honourable Sir ChARLES WOOD." THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday The Thiers section of the Bourbonists has started a new journal, entitled Moniker do l'Assernbl‘e. The first number appeared yesterday, and contains the following piece of " scandal" on the occasion of the resignation of bis command by General JULLIEN " General Jullien, one of the most distinguished offi cers of the army of Paris, has fast sent in his resigna tion to the Minister of War. The revocation of General Neumayer and the resignation of General Jullien spring both from one and the same cause. General Nt uma,yer was revoked because he would not infringe the laws and prescriptions laid down by military regulations. General Jullien, if we be rightly informed, has been obliged to give in his resignation because of his open professions of devotedness and respect fur the National Assembly. This are the best and noblest chiefs of our army obliged to quit the ranks. An odd way truly to provide for the defence of order by removing its bravest champions! But the army in France is the army of the law, and will never become Janissaries." The Ordre, the other organ of this party, repeats the tale of the resignation of General JULLIEN, and has, on the subject of the Conferences of Dresden, an article which goes far to prove the existence of a com plicity between the members of the Bourbon party and the Russo-Austrian league. It says— " We have already rented the rumour which attri butes to the powers represented at Dresden the resolu tion to allow Austria with all her states to enter into the Germanic Diet. It does not appear that it is yet an ac complished fact, and certainly it is not as yet official. We are assured, however, that Government has conceived the most strange designs in reference to this matter. It meditates no less—and we would willingly be contra• dieted—than to make of this new complication of the affairs of Germany, under the ridiculous pretext that the balance of power in Europe has been effected, the occasion of a political demonstration, first, in the shape of protocols, to be followed by an ultimatum, and in fine by a cases To this the Ordre objects as an unnecessary inter ference with the Northern Powers. Now, considering that the all but a vowe d o bj ec t o f th e coalition of the Northern Powers is a Cossack invasion of France, what are we to think of the so-called champions of order, who thus speak of it, but that they would fain renew 1815 for their own profit.

SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 12th have arrived. The Gazette publishes the decree appointing Count DE REVILLAGIGEDO political chief of Madrid. In the Chamber of Deputies on that day General OR TEGA demanded explanations respecting the real causes of the dissolution of the late Cabinet, and, in doing so, made some rather severe comments on some of the ex-Ministers. M. PEDAL made some observations in reply, and referred to M.

He said he would not content himself with a position not clearly defined, and appealed to all the frac tions of the Chamber for support, and declared he would not place himself under the exclusive patronage of any one. Count DE SAN Lots, the ex- Minister of the Interior, then proceeded to speak in defence of General ItiAnvAEL, and had not concluded when the post closed. M. SEIJAS LOZANO, M. PRIM, and M. MON, intended to speak, and the debate was likely to be long and animated. It was doubtful whether the result of it would be favourable to the Ministry. M. FRANCIS CABELLO, fbrmerly a Minis ter in a Progressist Cabinet, died on the 7th. An aide-de camp of the 13ty of Turas had arrived in Madrid on a mission to the Government.

We understand that her Majesty has been graciously pleased to signify her intention of honouring the Theatre ROyal, Haymarket, with her presence this evening. be the case on every occasion that he has brough t forward a Budget. He might have learned a more correct mode of calculation if he desired to learn, but he does not wish to be taught. An under-calculation of the revenue and a❑ over-estimate of the expendi ture are convenient modes of escaping from the im portunities of those who are seeking relief from their difficulties, and of devoting larger sums to his favourite object, the reduction of the national debt (! ! !), than he would venture to apply if he re vealed the whole truth without fraud and with out cancealnaent. Last year he thus allocated 750,000/. of his anticipated surplus of 1,500,0001., the residue being applied to the abolition of the tax on bricks and the modification of the stamp-duties. It now appears that the probable surplus on the sth of April will be no less than 2,521,0001., and that the sum applied to the reduction of the national debt during the past year has been no less than 2,330,000/. In one part of his speech he expresses a hope that he may be able topsy off a nearly equal sum in the present year while in another he allocates 1,000,000/. of his esti mated surplus to the same purpose. There is a pal pable inconsistency in this, that shows that in this one respect Sir CHARLES WOOD is determined to do more than he will dare to announce—that it is but another sop to the golden idol, before which he has already sacrificed his character as an honest and consistent statesman. The surplus fur the present year is estimated at 1,892,8291., but no allow ance is made for the additional revenue that will be obtained from the visitors to the Great Exhibition. Sir CHARLES supposes that there will be a falling off in the Excise. Now, without laying claim to any extraordinary powers of vaticination, we venture to assert that there will be a considerable increase, owing to the consumption of exciseable articles by our numer ous visitors. There is in this respect, therefore, a gross suppressio Teri, utterly unbecoming a Minister and a gentleman, more especially as we believe it to have been put forward for unworthy purposes. The income-tax is to be continued in all its naked enormity. The merchants, and traders, and over toiled professional men, are still to be subjected to as heavy charges as the fundholders and land owners on their aecumulated and realized property. It is in Schedule B, and not in Schedules I) or E, that he would give relief if possible, and which he in timates is still open to discussion. Indeed he treats the loud and general complaints on the oppressive, un equal, and unjust mode of assessment with a degree of supercilious insolence that may well excite the in dignation of the aggrieved parties. He emphati cally declares that "good arguments may be adduced for exceptions and allowances in every schedule, except, perhaps, that of D, but for the maintenance of that (he asserts) we are pledged to the fund holder !! ! " He forgets that he was himself once one of the most strenuous opponents of this infamous impost, and he shows how totally different his views are on the subject from the community in general. His pretended abolition of the window duties will not deceive those whose hopes have been so strongly excited during the past month. The tax will henceforth be levied under a different name but, " The rose by any other name will smell as sweet," and to all intents and purposes it is but a reduction of one-third of the duty on existing houses, while a new class of houses, heretofore exempt, will be brought under the burden. The other points in which it is proposed to give relief are on coffee, on timber, and on seeds for agricultural purposes, while the expenses of pauper lunatics are to a certain extent to be transferred to the Consolidated Fund. There will also be a reduction in the sugar duties, but for that there are no thanks to be given to Sir CHARLES WooD. The slave-grown coffee will undoubtedly be benefited, and that will, no doubt, be a consolation to those who have already submitted to such considerable sacri- TIIE SHARE MARKETS.

CITY, 7'14'0 0 CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 3,500 bales, comprising 2,500 American, '2OO Pernam and Maranharn, at Bd. to !id.; 250 Egyptian, at lid. to 9irl.; 500 Surat, at 4id. to Sid. ; and 60 Sea Islands, at Is. lid. to Is. 2d. per lb. The market was flat, at previous rates. — Railway Shares were animated, and the market closed very firmly. The Timber and Coffee interests are those only in the com mercial world who benefit by the proposed changes of duty, and, accordingly, other articles will be left to the ordinary influenceof supply and demand. The consumption of Sugar, however, may increase if Coffee gets into favour, and that of Tea decrease. Regarding the inter-Oceanic Canal, the accounts by the American mail are very satisfactory. It would appear that four distinct surveys of different routes had been made by the corps of engineers in the employ of the company, and that the last one, which has been determined on by the company, offers every facility fur the construction of a grand ship canal, at an expense far less than was anticipated when the company commenced operations. According to the terms of agreement entered into with the chief engineer, Oscar W. Childs, well known by the New York community for his connexion, in his professional capacity, with some of the great internal improvements of the state, that gentleman, with a corps of a bl e ass i s t an t s , sa il e d from dte city named in July last, and immediately on his arrival in Nicaragua en tered upon the duties entrusted to him. The result is that the survey has been completed, an excellent route decided upon, and in a short time the work of the digging will be commenced, if indeed it has not been began already. It was first supposed that the terminus of the ship canal would be at Realejo ; but a shorter, a better, and a less expensive route has been decided upon. This company are engaged in another project, which, like the other, is of great importance, especially to the United States. 'They are constructing a com munication between the Atlantic and the Pacific,. for the transportation of passengers, viti the San Juan River and Lake Nicaragua, to the Pacific. The San Juan is obstructed by rapids and rocks, which up to this time have rendered it unnavigable. It has been ascertained, however, that the rocks can be removed at a comparatively trifling expense, and that the rapids can be overcome by the steamboats capa ble of running at a speed of 12 miles an hour. A competent engineer has been recently engaged to remove the rocks by blasting, and it is expected that in a short time he will have succeeded in removing them. Steamers are ready, or nearly so, to be placed on that river and on the lake, as well as between the terminus on the Pacific and San Francisco. Within sixty days the company would be prepared to con tract for the conveyance of passengers between New York and San Francisco, by this new route. At Amsterdam, on the 16th, Stocks were buoyant.

Ve scarcely anticipate this at present, but it is positive that money has become more in demand in the Stock Exchange, and probable that the chief cause is the necessity of provid ing the means of taking up Railway Shares. The provincial bankers are stated to be acting cautiously, as it appears the Bank of England is suspicious that accommodation bills are circulating too freely in aid of railway speculations. As far as com mercial business is concerned, we do not believe it has been so far extended as to cause any immediate ex tension of the demand for cash, but now the Budget is an nounced greater activity may ensue. Exchequer-bills have further declined, and are 495. to 523. premium. East India Bonds have been 60s. to 625. premium.

For Time they are 96A %. The Budget has not produced any sensible effect, but there is of course satisfaction expressed that the Chancellor of the Exchequer means still to favour the moneyed interest by buying up the debt. The views of fundholders and the industrous classes, as observed yesterday under this head, are frequently opposed, and in this case will probably be so again. The Foreign investments partake of the flatness of Con sols. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 19% 3 / 4 , and the Three per Cents. 37% to 38. Portuguese Four per Cents. are 33%. Mexican Bonds have been 33 to lA, and Buenos Ayres, 55. Equador Stock is at Dutch Four per Cents. are 91%.
