That your Petitioners, submit to your Honourable House, that in any revision of the taxation of the Country, any defi ciency of the revenue should be made up by the enactment of the legacy and probate duties upon the succession to real estates, and by such other taxes on real p roperty , both in 1,1 cat Drltalt. ni.sal cl 1, an cu. la ...an,: of the taxes laid upon the industrious classes. Your Petitioners, therfore, humbly pray, that your Honour able House will not sanction the imposition of fresh Taxes on the people of this country, but exact a rigid economy in the national expenditure, and that in the consideration of any prolongation of the Income Tax, you will require that a gra duated scale be adopted, and that a marked distinction between incomes derived from trades and professions, and those arising from real property, and other fixed sources, should be made. And further, that in any revision of the taxation of the coun try, any deficiency of the revenue may be made up by the enactment of the legacy and probate duties upon the succession to real estates i and by such other taxes on real property, both in Great Britain and Ireland, as may be equitable in considera tion of the taxes laid upon the Industrious Classes. And your Petitioners will ever pray, &c. T. B.

At the present moment these are topics that affect the wel fare of all classes, and deserve, therefore, the wrions attention of all who can find leisure to attend. GENERAL TRADE REPORT. LIVERPOOL EXCHANGE, YESTERDAY. The financial and commercial affairs of the country become daily more involved in uncertainty, and transac tions in nearly every branch of trade more limited in ex-, tent. The public mind had scarcely recovered from the: shock inflicted by the British Premier, when it was: astounded by the unprecedentedly rapid revulsion of affairs which has taken place in France. It will be seen from our quotations below, that the funds have suffered a . fearful decline ; and until further information arrives from the scene of action, and a more definite judgment can be formed of the probable result of this most unto ward event for the peace of Europe, we may expect a continued depression to prevail. We need scarcely add, that this all-absorbing topic was the prevailing subject of conversation on 'Change yesterday, and that various spe cculations were hazarded, which at present it would be premature to enlarge upon. The Stock Exchange pre sents a gloomy appearance. Three firms are reported as being in difficulties. The SHARE MARKET on Wednesday opened more briskly, and good hopes were entertained that better days and prices were at hand. The meetings of the large companies —the Midland, the York and North Midland, the York and Berwick, had given the public, generally, satisfaction, and the unsettled state of French politics alone prevented a considerable rise; an advance did take place, and some not inconsiderable purchases on specula tion were made on Wednesday. Thursday, or the evening of the latter day, the news reached here of the stoppage of the reform dinner; this made men hesitate, some more timid than others, " got out" of their purchases with a small loss. The news of the deposition of the French king, the destruction of the Palace Royal, &c., reached London at half-past five on Friday ; a great excitement was apparent immediately in the neighbourhood of the Stock Exchange—the leading brokers had gone for the day, but those in town met with several jobbers, and all shares were offered at very considerably lower prices that those of the morning. The funds fell from 884 to 854. Paris and Lyons from 4 dis. to 7 dis. French Northerns from 30s. p.m. to 30 dis. Intelligence of a progressive movement having been received from Paris, during Friday night, the fall in prices continued on Saturday. London Stock, which was on Friday 146, fell to 139. Midland from 115 to 108; Consols, from 884 to 834; and the smaller shares, in which speculators had dealt largely, were nearly un saleable. In our market on the morning of Saturday, very little business was done, and this at lower prices ; but on the receipt of the telegraph from London at 2 pm., the panic commenced here. London Stock fell from the morning quotation 143 to 145, to 140 ; the One-fourths from 5 pm. to 4 pm., and all shares were offered at very low prices. A special meeting of the Stock Ex , change was held to afford facilities to sellers of Stock, but only four quatations were made. YESTER DAY, prices were still lower, and we regret to state that two failures were spoken of, and hardly any business was transacted. Sellers did not appear to press stock at the ruinous prices marked, but seemed rather to desire to hold for a few days, till more certain intelligence from the continent. The following were the quotations at the AFTERNOON MEETING OF YESTERDAY :—Dover shares, 3 dis. ; London 4-shares, 3 1 prem. ; Leeds 3rds, 34 dis.; Cheshire Junctions,64dis. 131 to 133 was offered for London Stock; Midland Stock was asked for at very low prices. A somewhat better tone was given to the market than at the morning meeting, from the prices by telegraph up to noon, in London ; bad as they were, not being so bad as many fearea. Consols, 81, 4, 81, 82, 3, 2 ; Lon don Stock, 135, 138 ; Midland, 105 ; North Staffords, 81, 94 ; Old Dovers, 27. The COLONIAL MARKETS present a more lively appear ance. The sales yesterday wereabout 500 hhds. The grocers have taken 400 hhds. Barbadoes, at very stiff rates. The sale of foreign sugar went off well. Molasses are in good request, and little offering. For rum there is a good in quiry, and holders will not sell unless at an advance on previous prices. Demerara, 10 per cent. over proof, fetched 2s. 3d. per gallon, and 34 per cents. 3s. 3d. The demand for coffee is not so active. Tea continues very quiet ; the dealers still purchase very cautiously. The Dyewood Market is rather better. Campeachy Logwood is in fine request, both for home use and exportation. For saltpetre many buyers are to be met with. Several parcels have been withdrawn. The owners decline to sell in the present state of things. 1000 bags have been placed, at an advance of ls. per cwt.—ln London, the week, transactions have been on a small scale, but prices have generally been supported, although in the case of coffee a reduction has taken place. The sugar market has shown signs of firmness, and nearly all that has been put forward by the importers has been taken by the trade at previous prices, and sometimes at an advance of 6d. per cwt. Tea market firm, but not active. The termination of the indigo sales showed that the very large quantity of 8700 chests had been sold, of a total of 10,130 chests brought forward. We have very little business to report in Corrow, and, all things considered, it would be matter of surprise if we had. The demand, YESTERDAY, has been only to the extent of 2,500 bales, at 4d. below the prices of Friday last, with an uneven market. Holders are willing sellers, but there is no forcing sales, as our market would not bear it : we should soon be nowhere as regards prices. The business done in FOREIGN Wool. during the past week has been on a very extensive scale, chiefly in Mogador, Buenos Ayres, and Turkey, but there is not any advance in price to notice. Imports for the week : Foreign.—Monte Video. 155, Venice. 50, previously, 14,0z8 total, 140'33. Scotch, 454, previously, 1.685 ; total, 2,139. The market for Scotch Pig IRox was firm in the earlier part of the week at our previous quotations, the news from France has, however, operated unfavourably upon prices, which have somewhat receded, and may be quoted up to last night—delivered in Glasgow—No. 1,51 s. 6d. ; Mixed Nos., 50s. ; No. 3, 495. Since the reports of the CORN TRADE, up to Friday, which appear in another column, we have no change to notice in the prices of any article of the trade in Liver pool. In fact, up to last evening the trade was at a stand still. The probability of a continental war, and the vari ous conjectures as to how prices might be affected by such an event, has produced this stagnation. Some have gone so far as to anticipate that European holders would send as much grain as possible to England for security, and others that war prices would be demanded ; so that in the present uncertainty the trade is only in small quanti ties, for immediate consumption. In the LIVERPOOL PROVISION TRADE, yesterday in clusive, we have to report moderate arrivals of butter from Ireland, amounting to 3,810 firkins, 952 crocks. As usual at this season, dealers purchase sparingly, and con fine their transactions principally to prime qualities, which command full prices and are scarce. There is a slow trade for middling and inferior kinds, and holders, wishing to sell, are disposed to submit to a reduction.-Prime Irish bacon, of which 121 bales arrived last week, is in good demand.-Hams (13 hhds. arrived) a drug in the market. -Lard, 2 tierces, 20 firkins, 10 kegs arrived. Prices in Liverpool.-Butter: Waterford, 88:. to 945. ; Kil kenny, Carlow, and Clonmel, 88s. to 925.; Carrick, 86s. to 88s. ; Wexford, Carlow, 888. to 89s. ; Belfast, 888. to 925. • Bally money and Coleraine, 86s. to 898.; Banbridge, 84s. io 88s. ; Newry and Dundalk, 808. to 82s. ; Dublin, Carlow, 848. to 888. ; Sligo, 80s. to 865.; Londonderry, 82s. to 868.-Bacon: Long Middles, free from bone, new, 565. to 60s. ; Short Mid dles, do. do. 58s. to 60s. ; American, 408. to 545.-Lard: Fine Keg, 60a. to 665. In American Provisions there has been a pretty extensive importation of Beef, 2700 tierces of which has been to a London house; and until this is brought into the market, very high prices will be obtainable for smallar parcels. New Pork is scarce, and much wanted. The market has been cleared of Old Bacon, at improving rates : New is in good demand, best qualities fetching very high prices : a great portion of the 400 boxes of Western cured offered at the public sale on Friday was sold at 465. @ 495. 6d. Hams and Shoulders are selling at the best prices holders can get offered. The import of Lard has been large, and the eagerness of holders to bring it forward to public auc tion has had a depressing effect upon buyers, and really fine quality, in kegs, has been sold at 51s. Cheese has been taken freely at an improvement. In Butter there is nothing to notice.

The following particulars of the TIMBER TRADE are condensed from Messrs. Chaloner and Fleming's last cir cular, published on Friday, since which nothing of im portance has transpired : Pine Timber There has been a more active business at im proved prices for St. John, and declining prices for Quebec.— _Red rine has maintained its value.—Quebec Deals have gone off readily at from 10s tO £101.28.6d. for second and mid dling qualities yellow pine, and ea las, per standard for spruce.—Plank, New Brunswick and Nora Scotia Fir: The last sales of St. John were at 2d. 1-32 and 2d. 3.16 per foot of the former, one-third was red pine, and the remainder spruce. Prices of deals and boards are improving.—Birch Timber : The last sale of St. John, with cargo, was 14d. per foot.—Quebec Oak, of fair quality and size, has been sold by auction at 2s. per foot, and a few good logs at 2s. sd. per foot.—Quebec Elm sold at 171 d. to 20d. per foot.—Quebec Yellow Pine Masts : The last sple was 2s. Gd. per foot for a small parcel.—Quebec Staves have been in better demand.—New Brunswick and Nova Scotia Ash, 4.c., Hogshead Staves are in very limited consumption.—United States Staves have somewhat revived in demand through the better inquiry for Canada Staves.—Railway Sleepers: This week 3s. 9d. and 2s. 9d. each has been refused for a cargo 9 x 10 x 5 and 9 x 9 x 4 respectively.—ln Mahogany several sales have taken place, but we have rot room for the quotations. —Cedar, Havana Yesterday 155 toes, good quality, were sold at from 4id. to 6d. per foot.— Zebrawood : Yesterday 23 planks were sold at from £5 ss. to .e 6 105.—Satinwood is held suffi ciently in stock, but is not enquired for, even City St. Domingo. —Rosewood: Yesterday 128 planks were sold at £lB 105. per ton. —Lancewood spars are heavy of sale, and sufficient in stock.—Teak Wood. Green-Heart, and Morra Timber: Yester day a parcel of good Sabine was sold by auction at from 2s. Ild. to 3s. 3d. per. foot.— Liynutuvitw : City St. Domingo bas de clined in value. The following is the most important feature of the cir cular :- 1 " Baltic timber an d deals have been entirely neglected, through disinclination on the part of buyers to come forward until the 1 last reductions have taken place, which will not be carried into effect till the 6th of April. But whilst we assign this as one reason, we would earnestly and pointedly draw attention to the fact, that this branch of the timber trade, particularly in deals, is being transferred from Liverpool to Hull. This arises front the superior energy of the Hull merchants, their railway and dock committees,who assimilate thei rfreights to Manchester and other more pr.. . rtionately less central markets, with those of Liverpool, and 4 ,tt greater development of railway facilities, enable buyers to secure their purchases at less cost, and in les. time than from the Liverpool mar k et; w hil st on the other hand, the delay, annoyances, expense, and confusion in• getting wood sent thrQugn the tunnel here, not only operate to the great di minution of traffic on the line, but practically nullify the under taking, by entailing a local cost, which even hears comparisolt with what might be the entire transit expense between Liver pool and Manchester, until that miserable and confined hole at Wapping hardly big enough for an inland town—miscalled a station —ceases to be our only accommodation for wood goods. Until branches of rails are placed , in direct contact with the shipping and every principal depot for merchandise in the port —until goods and wood can be transmitted with the facility of passengers and luggage, railway capability cannot be said to be fully developed ; nor can our local authorities and railway maw agers escape the imputation of nullifying by their supineness and neglect, • the advantages which Liverpool possesses as a principal port, and the great central market of the United Kingdom. These gentlemen may reply that all this must be the work of time, and that later, such improvement can be made; but we submit to their recollection, that the first rat way schemed in these part s was intended ' for the transit- of goods between Liverpool and Manchester. The passenger ro turns being comparatively little reckoned upon as a source o f revenue, and the timber trade, it was arzued, would dertve the grsatest advantage from its construction. Surely we, who twenty years ago assisted in its formation, have some claim to see in our lifetime the nromised consummation. London is introducing the North Western Railway in connexion with the West India Docks. Are we to hare our' furniture-wood trade, which has already suffered severely, as far as the neighbouring manufacturing district is concerned, quite taken from us, as We have now lost our Baltic deal trade l Clyde, Dublin, and Bristol have, we know, lost their mahogany trade; and should Liver pool so lose hers, it will be then too late to regret the misman agement which occasioned it, or call into play energy and activity which, now exerted, would preserve it." The excitement in the City on Friday last exceeded anything witnessed since 1830, and Consols, which opened at 884, and nominally closed at 88, fell after the regular hours of business to 854, owing to the announcement of Louis Philippe's abdication having subsequently arrived;' and all other securities receded 2 or 3 per cent. below the official "closing" prices. Scarcely any business done in the foreign market. The excitement prevailing on the Stock Exchange on Saturday was intense, and the move ments of the English funds throughout the entire day have been most rapid and violent. Consols for money opened at 841 to 85, whence they suddenly receded to 83. Upon a rumour that a Recency bad been established in France they rose to 851 and when it was understood that a Provisional Government only had been formed they again fell and were quoted 84. After this they were done at 841, and at the close of the market the price was 831 to &IL After the regular hours of business 834 was the quotation for money, and 831 to 4 for the account. For Bank Stock the last price was 194 to 197 ; Reduced Three per Cents, 83k to a ; Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents, 844 tot; In dia Stock, 238 to 242; and Exchequer-bills (March) 17*. to 225., (June) 21s. to 255. premium. —With regard to the comparative fluctuations at the two dates, 1830 and 1848, it appears that the total fall in Consols. consequent upon the three days of July was not quite 3 per cent., whilst now there is a fall, consequent on the recent disturbances. of 8 per cent. A letter from Rotterdam announces, that the Data Company's sales of coffee are fixed for the 3d and 6th of April, and will contain 497,579 bags, which is all that win be offered by the Co. until next spring. This is impor tant, as the Co. have hitherto always had a large autum nal sale. Athices from Jamaica anticipate, with respect to the 1848 sugar crop, that the deficiency from the production of former years will be very great. The weather at To bago is stated to be peculiar for the season of the year, and, although favourable for the young plants, muck against crop operations. Accounts have been received from Barbadoes to the 29th of January, respecting the position of the West India Bank. A meeting had been held, at which a report of a joint committee of directors and extraordinary directons had been presented stating the liabilities of the bank at 43,435,183, and the assets 43,564,774, after deducting 4'424,587 for bad debts. The surplus left to meet the original capital of 4'600,000 would be 4129,590. The committee proposed to make a call upon the proprietors of 415 per share, and to liquidate the claims of the de positors and other creditors of the bank by instalments of 25 per cent. on the Ist Aug., 1848 ; 10 per cent. Ist Nov., 1848; 25 per cent. Ist July. 1849; 25 per cent. Ist July, 1850, and the remaining 15 per cent. on Ist Dec., 1850, with interest at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum. The committee could not then see their way as to whether the bank could be resuscitated, and meanwhile proposed to do business "to such an extent as would meet their current expenses." The debt of Barion, Irlam, and Higginson was estimated at ss. in the pound. The commercial advices by the steamer from America state, that the exchange at New York was at 10 to 19} pee cent., just touching the point at which specie could be re.. mitted to advantage. In breadstuffs few purchases were being made for England, and the little demand for ton nage room at New York had sent freights down to ls. 6d. per barrel for flour. Although but few vessels compara tively had cleared for Liverpool at New Orleans, there were symptoms of increased operations in produce for this market in the additional number of vessels placed on the berth, with a slight improvement in freights ; no less than forty-two vessels being up for Liverpool on the 2d Feb ruary, in addition to those already cleared. The receipt* of cotton at New York up to the 9th Feb. 1848, were 9,300,403 bales, against 1,002,770 bales ;n th" previous year, and 982,738 bales in the year befor,. The export* to Great Britain for the first-mentioned period were 222,668, for the second 248,749, and for the third 378,465. The stocks were respectively as follows : 461,584, 501,6E8, 378,465. The following are the official estimates from the Patent-office, in Washington, of the crops of the United States, throughout the Union, in 1847, in bushels r India* corn, 540,000,000; wheat, 111,530,006; rye. 31,350,00 ft oats, 177,000,000 ; buckwheat, 11,674,000 ; barlel.• 5,735,000 ; potatoes, 97,018,000. • This last crop (pota toes) was very much diminished in consequence of the rot. The Indian corn is chiefly yet on hand. The to baco crop was 219,964,000 pounds, a slight diminution compared to former years. Cotton crop, 1,026,500,000 pounds ; rice, 103,400,500 pounds ; silk, 404,600 pound" of cocoons. anteb. SCHOOLMASTER WANTED. A SCHOOLMASTER is required for the EDGE /-1 HILL BOYS' SCHOOL.

By order, WM. SHUTTLEWORTH, Town-clerk. Town-hall, February 24th, 1848. FIRST FULL-DRESS CONCERT OF THE PHIL HARMONIC SOCIETY. The first full-dress concert of the season of the above society was held last evening at the Collegiate Institntiou, which was even more fashionably and numerously at tended than usual. For this, in part, we may account by the excellence of the programme, and the eminent stand.- ing of the artists engaged, comprising Thalberg, Madame Lozano, Miss Bassano, Miss M. Williams, and Miss A. Williams, Signor Ciabatta, and Mr. T. Williams ; and ilt part to the judicious departure of the committee from the exclusiveness hitherto characterizing these concerts, b the admission of non-subscribers at a reasonable, and, considering the attractions provided, a very cheap rate. The overture, Weber's Jubilee, was very well played throughout; but the violins wanted strength. The first piece—a trio from Afaritana—was a little marred in Au Afre-ct by the somewhat unsteady accompaniment of the band. Indeed, it seemed to us that the singers did not seem at home together. In Rossini's duet, Tancreii, "Fiero incontro I" the Misses Williams sung most beau tifully, and amply justified the high encomiums which have been earned by them in their metropolitan career. The recitative was a perfect gem ; and the cadenzas introduced comprised novelties which had an extraordinary effect. and can only have been attained by immense study MA practice together. Madame Lozano's cavatina, " Betly," from Denizen!, was most creditably given ; but the prudence of the saes tion is rather questionable, so shortly after the heads of the musical public have I ::een turned by Alboni's singing of the same piece. Had Alboni never been heard, Lozano's rendering would have been a triumph. Thalberg. We almost hesitate to speak of this unri valled maestro. The piece selected by him was a fantasia containing airs from It Barbiemldi Siriglia, which was in imitably played. The prayer from Mose in Egitto was a most splendid effort; and a most hearty and vociferous encore rewarded the close. We forget the title of the piece with which ho favoured the audience, in reply to the encore. It was a rich musical treat, however, and was heartily applauded. There is a modest deportment about this great artist which raises him a host of admirers, is dependently of his extraordinary talent as a pianist. 77ide recitative and air from Don Giovanni—" Crudele, ah no, insliAlightfully song by Mina A. Williams, as was a song from Mendolsohn, " The Violet," by Miss Bassano. 41. duet, " The Vision," also from Mendelsohn, owed t he honour which it received of an encore, chiefly to the chaste singing of the Misses Williams. Signor Ciabatta next gave a Emit from the music of Schubert; and if. it was a fair sample of the gentleman's powers, we shalt certainly have little wish to hear him again. The cos eluding piece of the first part, a trio from Sphor's Azot• and Zemira, by Misses Bassano. M. Williams, and A. Williams, would have been faultless had the accompani ment of the band been in tune. We have left ourselves little space to remark upon the second part, the gems of which were Thalberg's Fantasia from Giovanni, Madame Lozano's Boleros, very exqui sitely sung, and "Tell oh my heart,"—Balfe—which was delightfully given by Miss A. Williams. On the whole we never listened to a concert of this society more worthy of the approval of the musical critic, or which seemed to give more general satisfaction to the crowded audience. Thalberg was encored in his Fantasia Brillante, in the second part, as were Madame Lozano and the overture et William Tell, by the band. STREET ROBBERY.—Yesterday, at the police-court,' three men, Robert and Edward Banks, both well known. to the police, and Thomas Carroll, were charged by arca* named Martin by with knocking him down in an entry in Cockspur-street, and tearing off his pockets, containing several shillings &c., with which they made off. Th or were committed for trial at the sessions. ROYAL Amptirrns.tras. — this evening is the last of the appearance of M. Dejean's unrivalled company of talented equestrians.
