LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCH 28.

Tice iedispoeition of Mr. DISRAELI has seemed to
afford an opportunity to Lis principal rival in Tory
leadership, of which the latter has not been slow to
avail himself. 'Pis an ill wind that blows nobody
good; and *Lough the member for Buckinghamshire
may curse brosehdis as a bore, the more moos repre-
sentative of the Universi.y may regard it a.
The resignation of sanctimonious people to the afflic-
tions which Providence sees fit to lay upon
others, was the standing jest of the French
moralist. And without the incivility of doubt-
leg that Mr. GLererrome has upon all proper
occasions been "exceedingly sorry to hear
that Mr. Insaettt is still confieed to the hoar," we
may vesture to think that he feels himself in much
better spirits ainee be has been eeffered toad the part
of iocwm tenets in the stemma of the Tory chief.
For so Wooer had Mr. Dtszeml lost his voice,
than Mr. GLADSTONE found hie. To have eat by, and
beheld the venerab'e pert] by whom he bad
been nursed and fondled as a promising pet—left
mrddenly helpless and speechless, without
offering any assistance, would not have been
behaviour befitting a Christian. The
Samaritan, we are told, pat the disarl:dd
wayfarer on hie own beast, and brought him to an
inn ; Mr. GLADSTONE with equal promptitude
jumped upon the deserted creatures back, and led
lim into a lobby. The banevolent motive was no
doubt in both cases the same. We only fear lest
Protectionism, in its weakened state, may become
intoxicated by the unaccustomed stimulants adminis-
tered ; and grow unmanageable by the
somewhat undecided band that for the present
holds its bridle. " A brave man on a brave
horse," stye Lord HERBERT, of Cherbury, "is as
much above the rest of mankind, es this world can
make hiss." But what may happen when either the
unreasoning animal or its irresolute rider betray a
contempt fur etch other's safety, the chivalric pedant
doth not tell. And west still more complicated catas-
trophe, may perchance misae, if the distrust and die-
m& be mutes', or appear to be so, we almost shrink
from contemplating.
'Ti. hardly p. sane, however, to mark the late
mirvettirp and caraeoliogs of toryism, and the ill-
mewed eagerness of its new director, without ens-
pectin' that it must either ecd in the former running
away with the latter altogether, or else flinging him
ungratefully in the mire. Mr. GLADSTONE is a man
of eminent talents, and posemeed of not •
few estimable qualities; but we doubt if his
function under any circumstances be that which
he has now assumed. He might possibly have
made • good subaltern Jesuit ; but he never could
have made a first-rate jockey. Keen, astute, and
reedy be is undoubtedly in the superlative degree.
No case is too desperate, no ground too shakey, no
fence too thick set for him. But in the choice of the
course, and the pace to go at, be lacks that common
sense which none ever learn by teaching. For a
political leader he is deficient alike in per-
sistency, plainness, and pluck. No follower can
ever surmise which tide of a new question he is likely
to take, or which point of old party faith he is about
to abandon. His originality, when he indulges it,
has the air of an intellectual freak, and his unexpected
surrender of at me opinion that every ore fancied was
with him a fundamental conviction, wears too fre-
quently the atpi ct of fright. As an advocate few
men are more plausible or persuasive; bit he has not
a fated upon earth who would not rather hear him
defend the position laid down by sane body else, than
be compelled to witness his vacillation in determining
what it should be, or exercising the responsibility
of adhering to or forsaking it.
Haunted, apparently, by the con/chase's@ that he
is in g 1 thus regarded, the new deputy leader of
the protectionists has been rather disposed to make
a character for boldness and obetinacy. There is
hardly a rag of the PEEL livery which he has not
thrown aside. He is ready to help the landlords
to recover the lases they have incurred by free
trade, out of taxer paid by the people on ode r neces-
saries of life ; cud he is r. ady to go any lengths of
democracy in the colonies in order to win the cheers
of those at home who in nothing else egret with him.
The beaten track of compromise no longer pleases
him. He is row off the road at one side,
and now at the other. Aid though for a
while the oddity of this mode of proceeding
may attract curiosity and cemented a parti-
cular species of admiration, we doubt exceedingly
whetter it is one that can be long continued with
either safety or sumer. Torsions hes to ordinary
sptce of tenacity in its clepro,ition. It is very apt to
shy at a radical jump. Some very palpable prows of
this were given the otter eight in committee on the
Australian BilL

Away went Gledgerse seer or nought,—
Away WOW lord and pny ,
Hs !irk dreamt when he set out,
Of earning earl a rig.

In their turn liberals who are m•s: disooctenfed
with the gait of the whlge, find themselves as often
applauding the wayward and incons'stent course of
83 rash a leader. We admire the atilt:. at a distance,
hu•. if in the performance of MI marvellous feats, he
sometimes approaches mt re rear, we may not repel,
yet we hardly desire his c3ittinuance in our neigh-
b,urhood.

After all, the question of conten•ment or the re-
verse with Mr. GLADSTONE must be Idt to the mo
polish., whcse eau►e hearing formerly helped to mu
he would penitently now repair. It is but natural
that th, y should give him a trial, were it only fir the
plcasure of mitu gis his reertatation. But as the
weather grows milder and men's judgments grow
more calm, the prutectioniete will probsbly hi gin to
think th. y wt-n- better as they were, and that fJr thtir
faithful blur flexible Otnrox were a bed exchange.

SIR CHARLES WOOD'S stamp dat7 pro!ect came
before the House of Cremona in the shspe of a double
r )lution. T • schedule of amended duties forms
the first resolutOn ; and, for the public information,
we reptint it in aLo..her part of our paper. The
'wood resolution is a general one: " Tts, it is expe-
dient to amend the laws rtlaticg to the stamp duties."
In that erco-d resolution we entirely concur. The
means of bete sing the 'elven., and at the same
time lighten'ig t e bu-den of t &on, are, we make
no doubt, ti be found in a proper revision of the
stamp law. But that clueatio., is irVirely apart I'om
the due consideration t f the CHANCELLOI of the Ex-
uma:nes plan, to which we elan seriously invite
the attention of the mercantile e,mraunity.
The Cu/osmium of the EXCHEQUER, it must
always be bora* in mind, is prop mints, or pre-
tending to propose, a large r' mission of taxation. His
plan is to re. ace the duties upon all stamps b r
ksaass, coeveyaneer, bca.de, mertpige., and aet,l.-
mettle, the consideration represented in which is,
below 1,0001. Upon testy stsm.ed document ex-
hibiting a am-i 'eration abort 1,0004 the daty will he'
cumin aptly incr. aced. As a mat et of principle this
will be approved; tt'er? can be no valid ihjeaeim. to
taking the stamp duty ad votaress But the pretence
that this LOW arrangement will .nv, lye a r. 'nisei :a of
taxation to the p.op'e is, us ae have ale,ady shown,

lour did.

Bat there is soosetbing more is the plan. It can-
not WI to be obvious to ail who mad the reeeletions,
that sot merely do they propose a redistribution of
existing duties, but that they absolutely propose an
imp:widen of new defies. The stamp duty, hence-
forward, is to he levied on a vast amount of
ETrtwhich has never heretofore been subject to it.
atythe BONDS. Henceforth an ad valorem stamp
duty will be charged not only on the truster and re-
trsoskr of Government Stock, Bank Stook, East India
and South Sea Stock, but on the stock or fends " of
any °door company or corporation." It may, per-
haps, be egu;table that railway transfers, the transfer
of shares in Ineursnce and in Miming Companies, &0.,
should be subjected to this tax. We my nothirg
against the principle: we are not dealing with it in
this plies. But no one will ocuihsed that this is not
a sew taxi nor will any one Goateed that it will not
bring in revenue. The qiwetioe is, then, bow are we
to get the benefit of the 300,00 W. the Cusscum.ort in-
tends to give us oat of his so-calltd measure of reduc-

Tura to the CONVEYANCES. Are there no new
items of taxation under that head P Mark the words.
Uadsr the existing law the conveyance stamp is re•
quired "span the male of any land, tenements, or
other property, real or personal, heritable or move-
able." Under the new scheme the stamp is to be
taken not only " upon the sale of any property, real
or personal, heritable and moveable," but also, upon
the isle "of any other MATTER OR THING whatso-
ever and of whatever matvre." Why. what is not a
"matter or thing?" We cannot conceive a transaction
of life which may not be brought within the meaning of
this phrase. Its construction will be wholly depen-
dent on the interpretation of the courts. Triers is an
old jokn among the lawyers about the form of deed
which is requisite to convey an orange, with lull
right and title to and complete interest in its peel,
skin, pipe, juice, &c. Henceforth the deed conveying
the orange must undoubtedly be engrossed on an ad
valorem stamp, as coming within the description of
" a matter or thing." The ad ralorem stamp upon the
orange pip conveyance wauld aertainlv not b: a heavy
one •, but many " • matter or thing" to be conveyed
would require a stamp of no small amount. Take
the plant of a cotton-mill, for instance, or the
stock upon a farm, or the sails, cordage, ke., of a
ship. Or take the good-will of a large business,
which clearly would be a " matter" if it could not be
&scribed as a " thing ;" or a partnership, which is
another "matter;" or a judgment-debt; or, in six
words (the CHANCELLOR of the Excnacturres own
words), " anything whatever, and of whatever na-
ture." Why, no one henciforward will be able to
pus the poseersion of a single chattel without the
assistance of an ad valorem stamp. As to the justice
or injustice of 'hie we express no opinion ; butts it a
relief hoes the burden of taxation? The CHANCELLOR
of the EXCHEQUER offers to give us in this shape
full use and interest in 300,0001., which we at present
pay in the shape of taxation. This is what he pro-
Fara to "Cony. y " to us, on our assenting to this pee-
-1 tinnier arrangement. Well, then, do we like the bar-
gain? Are we prepared to take it in this shape, or
shall we courteously decline it, and request some
better terms ?

But perhaps it may be thought that there is some-
thing else in this locg resolution calculated to give us
the fall benefit of the 300,0001. We go, then, to
LEAsEs. Shall we get the 300,0001. out of the reduc-
tion of the stamp duty levied upon leases? As we
showed the other day, the reduction upon leases
would benefit the leaseholder at the rate of 1-10th
per cent. on the consideration money. That is to say,
if his rent is 1,0001. the leaseholder will pay W. under
the new scale, where he now pays t sadly 61. But
is there no disadvantage c3upled up with this remis-
sion? Lxk at the resolution. Under the old plan
the stamp duty was paid only on the lease i•self,
henceforward it is to be paid both on the lease and
en the agreement for the 1 see. But more than this.
It was formerly payable only in respect of the
"monoy consideration;" hencef3rward it will be
charged in respect of " any consideration whatsoever."
Now, mark the effect of this. A man takes a re-
pairing lease; he is to lay sir a large sum of money
in improvements: that is clearly a consideration
wi-hin the resolution, and he will clrs.queatly have
to psy an increased stamp duty. Or take the
case of a bu;lder, to whom a lease is granted
at a ground rent in consideration of his having built
a house. The vslae of that house is als3 clearly a
" consideration," and the stamp duty mast be propor-
tionate. These are more than new trice,: they are
cases of hardship upon industrious classes whom Sir
C. WOOD affects to be anxious to relieve.

There is most important question arising out of
the new stamp duties to be levied upon MORTGAGES;
and one that affec's so seriously the banking and mer-
cantile community, that we propose to mike it the
subject of separate allusion. But take the new duties
upon SET ILEYENTS. What do the landed proprietors
think of the new duty to be levied on any eettlements
containing powers to charge portions for the benefit
of younger children? Whither this duty is unjust
or not we do not pretend to determine; but undoubt
edly the effect will be to levy a stamp duty upon
large amounts which possibly may never be required
to be raved. At present deeds of this sort may be
drawn upon a stamp of 355. value; end. r the new
scheme, if only 10,000/. (a comparatively small sum)
was to be charged in this way on an estate, a stamp
duty would attach of the value of M.
Whet may be the inen seed amount of revenue
hereafter to be obtained from all these new items of
taxation, it is impossible to cal .u'ate. Should he
carry his plan, we hope it will be I nough to enable
Sir CHARLES WOOD to repeal the taxes upon know-
ledge. Had he dealt with those and other items of
taxation on a large and extended scale, how much
benefit might he not have conferred upon the country.
But helms preferred to ti Lker the S t amp Act s: mead ling
without securing that great improvement of which
they are susceptible, and holding out a premise
which we think every reader wall agree to be a gross
delusion.

SPAIN.

MADRID, Muck' 21.

I mentkned to you a few days rip the uneasinees
excited in the minds of church property holders by
the disposition shown by the government to coun'e-
Lance or at least to permit the taking of religious
vows. It is known that the government has sub-
mitted to the royal council the question as to the
expediency of eltablishing one cAnvent of monks to
every diocese, arid a pr partioaate number of nun-
neriee. It seems strange that while associations for
' industrial purposes are formic], it is to be held
unlawful for men to associate t e pray in common if
they please. Formerly they we re declaimed
against as tending, by paimoting celibacy,
to impede the progress of population, but
now that populeion is too much on the increase
they be in to b • looked upon an a means to curb it.
Bgh monks ■nd nuns in Spain were generally
children of the poor, and the e,tahlshment of reli-
gion, associations would not or, the whole meet with
finch resistance from public opinion.
The recruiting for the Pavel I. gion goes on slowly.
In spite of the a xhortatiots of the priests, and the
want of employment, not more th!n 200 men hays
been enlisted, and th •se of the worst description,
men, in short, who will go to augment the bands of

PARIS, WODUOUUT,6 P.ll.
The panic s=d:Zemthe elect/ass of Paris is
in. •
funded en a The eketions were not
sosialiele but rep A moment's reflection
would dim this, sport from the fact that the success-
ful sweildedes are know to be undulated with the
lewdest waperstitioe of the red party. It is noticed
with surprise that Vidal and Blotto sit apart from the
Mountain, and tura the cold shoulder to its chiefs;
bat this is natural and necessary. It the socialists of
Paris could be counted by hundreds of thousands the
t of Louis Napoleon could not stand a day,
that is obvious. In that cue the 10th of March
would not have been a peaceful triumph, but a hurri-
cane, in which the Ripper, with much else, would hare
disappeared, leaving not a rack behind. It is a matter
of moment to widerstand this clearly. The 10th of
March was the answer of the beast of France to
that pale and trembling knot of statesmen who
stand behind the ministers, and suggest pernicious
counsels, of which they dare not accept the responsi-
bility. If we saw two or three elderly gentlemen
stand by a gaming-table, and urge a young man to
desperate play, tease him on to stake sums the loss
of which would bring inevitable ruin upon himself
and family, while they kept their pockets safely but-
toned, and refused to hazard one sixpence on the up-
shot, even in the way of bet, should we say that those
were generocs, wise, and high-spirited gentlemen ?
No; we should qualify them very differently. Brit
the position taken up and the course pursued 1)7 MM.
Thieve, Mole, Berryer, and compeers is a position far
lower, and a course far mere criminal. For these
▪ at. amen are not bringing ruin upon one family, but
upon ten thousand. They are deliberately pushing their
country into a civil war; while they exhibit a caution,
is washing their hands of all responsibility which
merits the contempt of all Europe. Ti. be convinced
that the government, under the guidance of these ir-
responsible advisers, is marching with strides to per.
dition, one needs only to read the law of public in-
struction, published in the dirmiteur of this day. I.
puts education throughout France into the hands of
the priests. Thus the Jesuits, who failed to climb
the ladder of their ambition in the government of the
Rostoration or the government of Louis Philippe,
have succeeded in planting the bonnet of obscurant-
ism upon the temples of the republic.. It is impossible
to calculate the endless heartburnings and conflicts
which will arise out of this law through all the com-
mune, of France ; and no one can doubt that the
upshot of the mersure will be to make the priesthood
odious to those orders which should look op to it with
confidence and reelect.
It may readily be imagined how lively a scene of
disorder the impressionable Assembly presented yes-
terday on hearing the extraordinary proposition of
Larochejacquelie. The proposition was to this effect:
1. The nation shall be consulted upon the form of
government it wishes definitively to establish. In
order to ff ct this, on the first Sunday of next Joao
a general rotation shell take place in the same form
which is in use for the election of the President of
the Republic, and in conformity with the now elec-
toral circumscriptions. 2. Every elector shall deposit
a card, upon which shall b 3 inscribed the word
" Monarchy" or the word " Republic." 3. If the
majority is in favour of the republic this result shall
be proclaimed at the tribune of the Legislative As-
sembly by the President of the Republic. 4. If the
majority is in favour of monarchy the result
shall be proclaimed by the President of the
R. public. Only in this case on the first
Sunday in July the nation shall pro3eed to elect
by universal suffrage, a Constituent Assembly, charged
with full powers. 6. The President of the Republic
shall retain the execmive power until the day of the
definitive constitution of the Constituent Assembly.

Parieu, the Minister of Justice, wanted indeteto
prevent the scandal of its being read at all, by in-
viting the Awiembly to declare the prupcsition as

M. Dupin fortifie I h'mself with a sevenfold shield
of parliamentary precauti Ins before he would pour
such an audacious array of words into the prudish
ears of the majority. Thus, curiosity was si.arpened
to the keenest edge ; many who were not in the secret
baring inferred at first, from the mysterious r..lue-
tattoo of tte Pre.ident to read t•e paper he twiddled
about in his embarrassed fingers, that tome thunder-
ing memsge from the head of the exectrive was about
to he laul.ched from the tribune. When the cat was
at length out of the bag, no small amusement tem-
pered the surprise of the hott.e at the (Aiday of the
result.

After the reading, many called out for the previous
question, which was voted by acclamation. The
sitting broke up at a quarter after six, in great in-
citement, the members of the Mountain crying " Five
Is Republique."
In the sitting of the Legislative Assembly to-day
M. de la Rochejacquelin accounted for his absence
yesterday during the reading of his motion, by the .
fact of his having go: e, cornpl.ance with the
advice of the President of the Assembly, to get his
proposition printed. The Assembly agreed to adjourn
till Easter Monday. The Left gave v. nt to mumurs
at this resolution, which they regarded as an id.e
sureratition.
The tonatitutionnel says that there is no truth in
the repJrt that the government has given up the
Avignon Railway Bill; on the coatrary, it persists in
its resolutioa of conceding this railway to private
enterprise; and the bill will CMG in the order of the
day on Thursday.
Louis Napoleon was seen to-day, in full uniform,
driving slang the Boulevards, escorted by cuira,siers.
lie was very coldly re ceived everywhere.
The following is from the Petrie of yesterday eve-
ning: "We are assured that the ministry will to-
morrow present to the Assembly a measure which Las
been much talked of for some days, and which has
been favourably received by all shades of the party of
irder. It is a bil! on political domiciles. The object
of it is to give to the government the power of re-
moving from Paris one of the meet dangerous portions
of the p ,pulation, and to give to the elections of Paris
their proper character by subjecting the right of
voting to conditions of real residence."

The committee charged to examine the bill on the
caution money and stamps on journals yesterday heard
the explana•iune of the Ministers of the Interior, Jus-
tice, and Finance. From this confsrenco it appsars
(says the Pistrie) that the committee will maintain
the stamp-duty, and sensibly modify the clauses re-
garding tue caution-money. The committee is, it is
said, at,.aiiimous in desiring a change in the bill in
favour of the provincial press.

ERFURT, MATicit 25.
The eltction of the president of the Vulkshaus ha%
just taken place. Simeon is now pendent. His
el ction was reieritel by a most remark.ble union ot
members ot nearly all shads of op'nion, from the
moat inveterate great German down to the opponents

He reminded the homes of the high importance of the

but whi3b, in their hands, would, he trusted, speedily
lead to the recovery of the position which had been
lost, and which Providence intended the German
nation to occupy.
These few sentences were very warmly received.
The house then proceeded to the election of the

The Auitrims Lloyd publishes the following para-
graph with the date, Rsllia, 14th March: " The
much spoken of augmentation of the Russian troops

are being made, point not only to their longr r abrde
there, but to an increase in their number,. The dis-
tinctions conferred on officers of high rank on account
of the Hungarian campaign are still going on. The
Emperor has presentid Colonel Danzas w►th a sabre
on which is the inscription, "Foe courage."
