NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, March 11.-A good deal of rain
has fallen since this day ,e'nnight, and the land has become
so wet as to prevent our farmers from proceedino, with
seed operations. The trade doling the present week ha;
sontinued to exhibit increased firmness, and although higher
rates have not been made of either Wheat or Flour, a more
general disposition has been manifested to purchase, which
has resulted in a good business being done. Other articles
have excited little nttention, but in their value little ehonee
has occurred. At our market this morning we had a moderate
show of What Irons the grower., and the arrivals coaotwise
being moderate, a:clearance was early effected of fresh-th nutted
maniples at an advance of Is. per qr . but moth country quali-
ties being held for a similar amendment, had the ffect of
oheckingsales; had, bewever,last week's prierebeen accepted,
good bustuesomight have beendone. In the Flour transactions
were limited, owicg to favors demanding higher rates, viz.:
Us. for choice households, end 40a. for whites, at 375. for ap-
proved marks of houaeh Ade we hod buyers to day, but
holders generally were not willing to accept the, figure. In
Rye little stirring. Malting Barley sold slowly, and only
the beat kinds command, d attention, other sorts being totally
neglected. Malt dull, but not cheaper. Beans and boiling
Peas may be written la. to 2a. per qr. cheaper. with only
a lingering demand. Having a largo supply of Oats from
the growers, with, at the same time, liberal arri•als
from abroad, tales could only be promoted by subrait-
ting to rather easier rates. The duty on Wh at is
le. higher ; on other articles there is no change.

Pirrwoiern, March 11.-The continued damp weather,
with the dull advieet of the upward markets, still check
business, and the trade in Wheat wee slow here to-day, at
about former rates. Barley and other grain in fair demand.
RBADINO, March 11.-We hod a larger supply of Wheat
to-day, and a steady demand for good qualities ;in a few
instances Is. per qr. advance was made. Fine malting
Barley sold slowly at late prices ; but inferior samples were
difficult ante. Oats commanded more attention, and their
value was well supported. Beans and Peas without alteration
in firmer prices.
SAFFRON WALDEN, March 11.-Our Wheat market was
Is. per qr. dearer. Barley was also Is. per qr. 'tearer.
Beene, Peas, and Oats, are much the same as last week.
SIMORRLANO, March 11.-From the farmers there was
an average supply of Wheat, and 350 qrs. have been ri ceived
coastwise during the week, besides 370 sacks of Flour. The
millers having generally exhausted stocks of Wheat, trade
ass animated, and a clearance made, at an advance of Is. to
2s. per qr. ; superior qualities of Wheat are worth 561. ;
average qualities, 52a. to 545. ; and inferior parcels, 48s. to
503. per qr. There are inquiries for prime south country
and foreign Wheats, at improved rates. Malang Barley as
dull sale, at 31s. to 325. ; but during the week there have
been some large transactions in ship samples. The supply
of Beans was very large from the growers, tor seed purposes,
hut sales were only made at a reduction of 2e. to 3s. per qr.
Oats are in retail demand, at 725. to '24e. per qr. Malt may
be quoted at 525. to 565., but the demand is fiat. Flour is
in great demand, at 390. to 40s. for south country ; afis. to
375. for home made per 'mac; and for American, 285. to
304. ; and Indian Meal, 16s. to 17s. per barrel.

vance :Ails. per qr.; some heavy malting • made 355. 6d.;

BELFAST, March 9.-We have had malt supplies at our
market during the week, and, as anticipated, prices have
advanced for every article from 3d. to 6d. per cat., with a
good demand. The weather has been changeable, but not
too wet to prever.t farmers getting on with thee spring
labour, in favourable situations, and a little settled wea-
ther would give them all plenty to do. Indian Corn is in
better demand, and prices are ss. per ton higher this
week. Two cargoes haven
s
from the slate since
our last. Prices:-Indian Corn, white, 81. to 81. 5a.;
yellow, 71. 10s. to 71. 155. per ton. Indian Corn Meal,
white, 155. to 9/. ; yellow, 71. 15s. to 81. per ton. Ameri-

CORE, March 10.-The trade in Wheat is firmer and
brisker, and, with the steady demand that exists, the
stands are cleared at an early hour, and at an advance
of fully la per barrel over the prices of last week.
In prepared Wheat we have not noticed any transact
tions of moment, but some few lots of green Wheat, fit
for millers' purpose', have ehanged hands at fair pric es.
Barley, prime espeeially, is in good demand, and prices have
advanced 3d. to 4d. per barrel since our last. Oatsalso meet
a good inquiry, at an improvement of 4d. to Gd. per barrel.
In prepared Oats, however, we have so little doing that
quotations are altogether nominal, the rates obtainable at the
English side not being such as to hold out a hope of profit on
consignments thither. In Indian Corn a fair amount of busi-
ness was done, sten improvement of ss. to 75.6,1. per ton on the
prices of hut week. We quote prime Corn worth 71. 6s. to
71. 125. 6d. per ton ; for, though some holders are looking
for higher rate., they are not obtainable. The trade in
Flour is still altogether one of consumption. There is an
absnce of all speculative inquiry for the article, and factors
aree willing to realize OR late terms. For Meal ot all kinds
the demand is extremely limited.
!Atacama, March 8. -The Wheat market was this day
well supplied ; buying brisk, at'a further advailea of 4d. per
stone. Best white Wheat, 1.5 d. to 16d. ; red, 15d. to 16d.

ferior, 71. 105. to 8/. Bran, 41. per ton.
WATERFORD, March 11.-In consequence of the boiste-
rous state of the weather, we have bad small supplies of
grain from all quarters this week. The trade generally has
been without animation, and but little change in prices can
be noted. Wheat from the country barely supported former
rates, and a few parcels from granary wire quitted early in
the week at a reduction of 2d. to 3d. per barrel. Of Barley
there is scarcely any, and the demand is equally trifling.
Oats improved somewhat in demand about the middle of the
week, end holders asked an advance of 3d. per barrel, which
checked sales, and the article on the whole can
can scarcely be quoted dearer. Indian Corn must be quoted
6. per barrel dearer, but the demand is not active. Flour of
all kinds sells freely at former prices. Prices :-Undried

KIRKCALDY, March 11.--We have a return of wet
weather, with a low and still Wing barometer; field opera.
tions completely interrupted. At our country markets this
week we have had very short supplies of all kinds of grain,
the greeter portion of which WAS taken off I ist the local con-
sumers, at fast week's prices. Here to day we had fair
supplies of Wheat and Oats, but small of Barley, for all of
which there was an improved demand, at fully higher rates
than these current last week. Wheat, 42e. to 555. per qr.

LONDON, MONDAY. MARCH 13.
TO-NIGIIT being the third d the debate on Mr.
lIUNIE'S motion to grant a renewal of the income tax
for one year only, it is to be hoped that honourable
members will at last condescend to address themselves
to the question really before them. On the first
night of the debate, Sir Roemer PEEL entertained
the house with a panegyrical history of the circum-
stances under which the income tax was imposed, and
his objects in imposing it, to which he appended some
very sensible but rather irrelevant remarks on the
true policy of this country with regard to the French
revolution. Lord GEORGE BENTINCE followed with
one of his diatribes against free trade, containing the
usual admixture of strong rough declamation, and jokes
none of the newest, buttold with azest that makes them
' pass at the moment. Next night Mr.WlLsos opened
the debate by declaiming, like a school-boy in an 1
elocution class, the leading article prepared for the
Economist of the week; Mr. I)ISRAELI amused the
house with some of his brilliant and not very good-
natured personalities; and Mr. GtansTosE enlarged
upon the necessity of economy and revised taxation
in general. Attempts were made from time to time by
different members to recal the attention of the house
1 to the real subject of debate, but to keep it fastened
there was impossible.
It is to be wished rather than hoped that the pro-
ceedings of this evening may be characterised by
more deference to common sense and public
opinion. The question the House of Commons
will be called to vote upon, whatever members
of the house may be pleased to talk about,
is—ought the income tax to be resumed for one year
or for three ? The country at large has requested, by
a most unequivocal expression of opinion, that if the
tax is to be continued, its assessment maybe rendered
more equitable. It is not asked, though the advocates
of a uniform mode of assessment are pleased so to
assume, that the impossible attempt should be made
to ascertain the exact value of every individual income
—to make allowance for every incidental and personal
diminution of iacome. But it is asked that classes of
incomes, which even in cases where they are nomi-
nally of the same amount are demonstrably of
different values, arid to the real value of
which a tolerably close approximation may be
made by a simple and uniform calculation, shall be
respectively assessed at their real nominal value.
Various means have been pointed out, by which any
possible reduction in the returns of the income tax,
consequent upon such new mode of assessment, may
be compensated. The extension of the legacy and
probate duties to real property is one. Ministers hand
probate supported by their political rivals, and backed
by a majority of the House of Commons, have refused
I • 1 this just and reasonable request. Its supporters there-
fore ask alternatively, seeing their proposal has been
I dismissed in a manner so summary as of necessity
to leave grave doubts in the public mind of its
merits having been deliberately considered, that the
House of Commons will renew the tax in its present
form and pressure for one year only, in order that
next year the proposition may be more ripely advised.
To this proposal, that the House of Commons by
renewing the tax in the meantime for one year only
should leave itself a locus penitentice—a break in the
lease of it granted to ministers—with a view to revise
the conditions of its tenure, the only semblance of an
adverse reason we have yet heard urged is, that it
would endanger national credit. The hollowness of
this pretext is obvious. An overwhelming majority
of those who advocate an improved mode of assessing
the income-tax do so avowedly on the ground that
they expect it to be permanent. They propose a re-
newal for one year, not with any prospect of getting
rid of the tax at the end of that time, but in
order to have security that the rates upon different
classes of income shall in future years be more equitably
apportioned. They are ready upon this condition to
accept of an income tax as one of our permanent
sources of revenue ; and they are ready to make pro-
vision for any contingent deficit by extending the
legacy and probate duties to real property. The
affectation of apprehensions on the score of the na-
tional credit is a base and dishonest affectation. We
often hear ministers (whig and tory alike) deprecate
agitation. This agitation—in appeal to the terrors
of a class—is of the most glaring kind. " The adop-
tion of Mr. HuteE's amendment," said Mr. GLAD-
STONE, "would inflict a serious blow on public credit.
The effect on the funds to-morrow would show
that at once." Mr. GLADSTONE knows that no set
01 men are more accessible to sudden and unreason-
lag panics than the speculators on the Stock
Exchange. He seeks to create a panic thire, and ap-
peals to it in anticipation as a reason for not adopting
the measure he attempts to convert into a bugbear.
He is the very DANTON of finance, cryin; out : " We
must inspire terror—huge terror." Lord J. RCSSELL I
coquetted with the same fallacy, but Lord JOIN has
something of a conscience, and cannot go the lengths
of Mr. GLADSTONE: he asks the income tax for three'
years in order "o establish public credit and pro-
vide for our military expenditure." He assigns as a
reason, in part, for persisting in the present system of
finance, the necessity of keeping up that item in the
public expenditure which is most open to reprel"
.ion. The renewal of the income tax in its;
form for one year only in no way endangers public
credit ; and the attempt to intimidate the supporters of
the proposal into its abandonment by appeals to the
panic fears of Stock Exchange speculators, ought to
confirm them in the determination to stand fast by

Apart from this transparent rase, no reason against

would prefer the dead, inert thing itself, to

the injustice to the proprietary class ? Every
citizen is bound to contribute to the support of the
state in consideration of the protection he receives
from it. He is bound in equity to contribute in pro-
portion to the value of what it protects for him. Every
man owes the state a tax in return for that personal
security, that general tranquillity, by the preservation

to this, every man who by, his own ingenuity and in-

THE accounts relating to trade and navigation for
the month ending Feb. 5, 1848, seem to indicate a
revival of the export trade. The declared value of
the aggregate of exports of British and Irish produce
and manufactures, for the year, which in 1845 was
53,298 0261., and which in 1846 had fallen to
51,227,0601., declined farther in 1847 to 50,897,790/.
On the other hand, the exports fort hemonth ending
Feb. 5,1846, having attained the value of 3,282,2891.,
the value of the exports during the corresponding
month of 18.17 declined to 3,077,9101.: but this year
it has risen again to 3,227,1381., within a trifle of the
monthly value in 1846. The consequence is that whereas
if we take the value of ngoegate exports for the
twelve months, ending respectively Jan. 5, 1847 and
1848, we find a falling off in the latter year to the
amount of 329,2701., if we take the thirteen months,
ending respectively Feb. 5, 1847, and Feb. 5, 1848,
—en-ithe falling off is only 190,0421.
