LONDON, 8.4777RD4T, APRIL &

TEE proposed repeal of the exemption, contained
In the 33 Oeo. 111, cap. 184, of bills of tale or mart-
pge deeds of shipping from the stamp duties, by the
Cliectuott of tie Bianco:ma's new stamp law, is
quite of a pima with the Bill for the Improv.ment of
tie Mercantile Marine. The principle of either
messur,, is governmental interference with trade and
commerc., and that principle, whether applied by
way of taxation or of regulation, is equally vicious.
Ship* are a manufacture. If the sale of that
manufacture have to be subject to a tax, why
not the sale of woollen or of cotton goods ?
The employment of shipping is trade. If
it have to be. subject to the regulation of the
Board of iTrade, why should not the trade of sgri-
culture be obnoxious to similar regulations? A man
Invests hie money in shipping to make a profit and to
increase his capital, just as a butcher lays out his
money in dead meat or • grocer in tropical product-
tions. To tax the purchase of shipping, however
slightly, is, therefare, to limit the profits of shipping
and the numbrr of persons likely to purchase Ship-
ping ; whereas, sound policy ought to give every
scope to the augmentation of profits and to oppose no
obstacles to the investment of capital in any descrip-
tion of property.
The extent to which the re-imposition of the stamp
duties on the We or mortgage of shipping will limit
profits and obstruct the investment of capital was
shown by a correspondent in Friday's Daily News.
In 1848, the tonnage of British vessels was 13,000,000
tons. Valuing this tonnage at 8/. a ton, it represents
a capital of 120,000,0001. ; and calculating transac-
tions by way of mortgage or sale to take place an-
nually to the extent of one-third of Clio capital, the
le-imposition of stamp duties will, our correspondent
states, produce between 300,0001. or 400,0001. a year
to the Exchequer. We have not the means of check-
ing this estimate ; but a tax on the transfer of capital
of each an enormous amount will, it is obvious, yield
a very Lags sum, and to the extent of its amount it
will he a tax on profits and a hindrance to invest-
ment. _ . _

The CHANCELLOR of the Excueorze, another
correspondent urges, can never intend to repeal the
exemption of 33 Ge.-. 111., c. 184. IA hat the CHAN-
cELLuR intends to do by his new stamp law it is very
difficult to B.y : for his law and his budget speech
are quite inconsistent with each other. But what
his law will do, if enacted, there can be no doubt. It
impost s ad ralorem duties on the transfer of almost
every matter and thing under the clouds; and it
repeals the act which exempted shipping from
throe duties. Shipping is, consequently, in-
cluded in the operation of the new law and the
new duties. Now this being the position of the sub-
ject, the Cuaeceneort of the ESCHEQEER must either
be practising an imposition on parliament, and be
attempting to re:mpoee, without due notice, a tax on
shipping lor.g ago repealed as hurtful to commerce, or
he has in.rodaced •Itereeue Bill into the house which
defeats his own intentions, and, by its careless con-
struction, reimposes a tax where its author proposed
to impose ro duty. Either born of this alternative is
at Sir CHARLES Woom's service: elevation on either
cannot be very agreeable. If he mount the former,
be dots so at the expense of Lis good faith ; if com-
pelled to teke refuge on the latter, what confidence
eau be placed in any measure of which he 'mimes the
responsibility ?
But be his intention what it may, the shipping
interest had better look to the matter in time; and
treat the new stamp law as hostile to their prosperity.
They can have no great faith in a government, which
bavicg (properly) subjected them to foreign compe-
tition, refutes :o lower the duty on the foreign timber
that enters into their manufacture; which gets into a I
tiff in the House of Commons whea asked to redeem
Its pledge by reducing the light dues and placing
their mara:ement in competent and responsible
Lands; and which proposes to give the Board of Tiede
power to interfere in every arrangement of their
affairs, from the discharge of a cargo to the binding
of a cabin-boy. It is quite possible that such a go-
vernmeat will be very glad to gain 400,00 W. a year
through the re-imposition by a side-wind of stamp-
deities on shipping.
Tr.is much appears pretty plain, that a government
so acting to one of the greatest interests in the king-
dom cannot thoroughly comprehend the subject on
which it proposes to legislate; that it is rashly and
hastily dealing with a department of trade reqairing,
as as indispensable preliminary to legislation, thu
most careful investigation, the most detailed Informa-
tic', and the utmost delicacy of manipulation ; that
the !measures now before the House of Commons
only deal, and that badly, with a part of the
subject; that they am measures of embarrassment
and of interference; and that they are unaccom-
panied by measures of relief and relaxation. If
there ever was a period in the history of
our commercial marine, when nothing should be done
by the legislature to cramp that activity end quick
despatch on which the profits of shipping always so
materially depend; when all the springs of its indus-
try ought to be relieved of all pressure; it is surely
jolt the time when it has been subjected to foreign
rivalry. To relieve domestic agriculture in its strug-
gle with free imports, government is advancing drain-
age loans, is taking the duty off bricks, and is in a
variety of other ways doing what is in its power to
lower the cost of production and to augment the pro-
doce of the 'AL Very different is its treatment of
shipping when placed in the same emergency. So
situated, government is re-imposing a heavy stamp
duty on its transfer, is resisting the repeal of •
duty on foreign timber, which Mr. Ittrcnent.
has shown amounts to a cost of from 6t
to 13) per cent. on higher class vessels, and
from 15 to 17 per cent. on lower clots ships, is re-
fusing to modify the enormous light does, under
wbicn shipping now suffer., and, worse than all, is
actually attempting to deprive the British shipowner
of the free management of his ships, to impoie on
him unnecessary res,rictions in the sohc.ion and the
hiring of his oGcers and crew, and to place in the
hand, of seamen powers and means of diminishing
that moral authority and control of the master
which are necessary for the government of his
ahip. The (*attest between the policy of minis-
ters towards sericulture and towards shipping in
their new position is most striking. Unfortunately
the solution of this contrast is at hand. The agri-
cultural is a great political interest; the shipping is
an interest without political power : by the former
oximetnes are made and unmade ; by the latter a
tide waiterahip cannot be influenced.
What is wanted is fair play to both interests. Give
the agriculturists every means within the power of
le;rielation to compete with foreign imports. But
'don't concurrently keep up all the fiscal
burthens on the shipping i Wert at when
obliged to engage in a "miler competition,
and impose other meddlesome regulations on
it. Admit, as the title of Mr. LANOCCHERE's
bill states, that " the condition of masters, mates, and
seamen in the merchant service," requires improve-
ment; the admission involves no such logical sequence
as the clothing the Board of Trade with unlimited
power of making regulation, for the management of
shim as Mr. Lam:cumin seeks. Tile condition of
the sericulture' labourer is bad enough; much worse
in all probability than that of seamen; yet
no one proposes that their safety, health, fwd, I
order, and discipline, should be regulated by the
executive government, or provided for by set of par-
liament ; that officers should be appointed to superic-
teld their heeler, or to see that their wages are duly
paid. No one is mad enough to prop's( that they
should be provided with beds of a certain length and
breadth; that they should Lave weather and water
tight cottages, sad a certain extent of garden land;

matters were not enough, the Board of Trade is, in

press and formal enactments of this bill, and what
with the indefinite power it gives the Board of Trade,
a shipowner will, should it pans, booms a poison of
very neoondazy importance on board his own vesseL
But a bill so pernicious in its provisions, and so
plenary in the power it will confer on the =motive
government, cannot pass. The best course to adopt is
to withdraw the measare, refer the whole subject to
a commission of Washy composed of practical men,
and wait until its report kas bight the very ele-
ments of this subject before government tries its band
in legislation for the shipping trade.

TUE revenue returns for the year and quarter which
ended yesterday—for the financial year 1849-30
afford but slender data for inferences respecting the state
and prospects of the nation. The variation between
the total revenue of 1848-9 and that of 1849-30 is so
inconsiderable, that to argue fro u has to the health or
sickness of the body politic would resemble the calcu-
lations of the hypochondriac who is constantly feeling
his pulse, and becomes elated or depressed by a van-
riation of one beat in the minute.

On the year there is a decrease in the customs' re-
venue for 1849 50, as compared with tha: for the pre-
ceding year, of 591,5661. The cessation of the large
receipts from duties on corn, and the reduced rates on
some other imported commodities, fully account for
this. And then, on the other hind, there is an in-
crease in every other department of the ordinary re-
venue. The restr:ction of the felling off to the *Le
item of customs while all others arc advancing cer-
tainly is no indication of any weakness or want of
elasticity in the national resources. The returns from
customs for both years are high. In 1848-9 they
amounted to 19,129,829 ; in 1849-50 to 18,535,2631.
The returns for the quarter which ended yesterday
show an increase on the returns for the correpponding
quarter of last year of 1,8541. This can scarcely be
called any change at aIL For the garter there is a
falling off upon f4r items :—on custrins, to the
amount of 160,5351. ; en stamps of 11,0461. ; on Poet-
offioe revenue of 3,001., and on miscellaneous of
60,8321. In all other departments of ordinary
revenue there is an increase which counterbalances
these deficit', and leaves the tiny surplus above-men-
tioned of 1.8541.
. . _ .

Such however is the inventive genius of party that
we shall be by no means surprised to find our contem-
poraries friencily and antagonistic to ministers drawing
the most wonderful conclusions from these returns.
The protectionists will augur from them national
decay,and the progressive extinction of our commerce.
The whigs will upraise their hands acdeyes in wonder
at the increase of 183,8161. on the year, and 1,8541.
on the quarter, and vow there was never such a
maser of finance as Sir CuARLEs WOOD.
It is rank humbug, ar.d the trick of the game on
both sides. The revenue returns c f the financial
year that has just expired, and of that which pre-
ceded it, indicate beyond a doubt a general healthy
economical condition of the country. Tkey show
that under free trade the national income out of
which taxes are paid, keeps steady. But there is
nothing in this financial document to shake our
conviction that the bulk of the population are over-
taxed. and that a remission of taxation is necessary
for which retrenchment on an extensive scale can
alone afford an opportunity. We shall be told of the
continued upward tendency of the excise b ing an
index of the amount of comforts enjoyed by all
closes. The excise has ceased to be a test of the
country's consumption. The quantity of beer and
spirits consumed may indeed be inferred from the
Excise returns; but for the consumption of sugar,
tea, coffee, cocoa, fruits, and tobacco, we must look to
the Customs : the state of the people's habiliments--
no mean ingredient of comfort—must be approxi-
mately conjectured, by a roundabout process, from the
quanuties cf wool, cotton, and flax imported.
In short, the condition and prospects of the coun-
try, as indicated by the revenue returns, suggest no
ground for despondency; but neither do they indicate
that it will be prudent or safe to disregard a strict
economy in national expenditure, or dispense with
keeping a sharp look out on the national accounts.

Two MEN STABBED AT BULMF.E.—On Sunday
tut two man were stabbed in the Hultman road, about a mile
from Sudbury. Two young men from Bolehamp were on
their nturn from Hillingdon, accompanied by two 'mug
females, when two other men, named Charlie and William
Piper (brothers), from Hillingdon, followed them. oft of
the hien had been acquainted with one of the young
women. Oa overtaking the Belchapap men a setae
ensued, cad both the Pipers were stabb d, one in the abdo-
men, and the other in various parts of his body. In tae even-
ing, three men, residing at Otters Belchenp, were appre-
hended by Superintendent Hoy, on suspieim ; their sums
are John A.ger, Robert Howard, sad Henry Gina. Oa

Charles Piper, the medical men in &Median gave it as
their opinion that he would is all probability be dead fa •

tics of N. C. Barnardistos anti D. Badham,
ouveyed the prisoners to the bed-room of the ap-
parently dying man, with • view to receive his di-
mities is their pressen. Immediately on seine Agar,
Charles Piper exclaimed, " that's the man," end hi. depoei-
Hon was taken as follows:—On Saturday, the 30:h day of
March last, I was at the White Horse Inn, la Bell.nedon, in
company with several pinata. Ws remained drinking in
the house until early twelve o'clock, when the house was
cleared, and I with several others, and my brother, William
Piper, walked oat of Billisgdon, towards Helmer. There
were five girls amongst us, and when we got to the bottom
of the kiteken-hill I put my arm round the waist Moue of
the girls. One of the meta (whom I knee- by .Lzhr, bat not
by newel said to me, " I should ;not go say further with
the girl." I said, " I would." Directly alter that I felt
blood running down my side and leg, and I fell down on to
the footpath. The other man then went away and left me,
and I was led home by George Golding. The primmer,
John Ager, is the SUM man who told me I should not go
an further with the girl. William Piper, who was also
stabbed in tenni plane, bat not su seriously as his brother,
deposed as follows :—I was is at the White Hone,
Hillingdon, in company with several persons. My brother
Chad.' (the last witness) wee in the room. There were six
girls also in the club room where we were. The house
was cleared a little before 12. We had been drisking beer.

road with the others. I was walleng wish one i,f the girls,
sad Just beton we got to the Kitchea-bill I heard a noise fa
front as of people quarrelling. I left the girl sad went Oa
to see what it was. When I got up to the parties I found
my brother Charles lying down on the. path. Ager, the pri-
soner, war standing close by in the road, and I asked him
what wee the matter. Ager replied, " 11l soon let you
know—l'll serve you worse than I rid the other." He had
scarcely uttered the words when he ran at me with a knife
and slabbed me in the outer part of the thigh. The night
was bright moonlight, aad I could see the blade of the knife
shine as Aster held it. I was also cut in the hand at the
14.1W1 time, but how I don't know. I Lid down on the path
by the side of the road, near my brother Cherie., ter about •
goatee of an hour, and I was helpe 1 home Ly James

was gives by John Duran and Wilhite Shaine. The
latter preyed that after the wounds had been iefiutecl he

Wet more than 22,000,000 would be required to pay
the interest of the floating debt. Supposing the
Am/2M should concede the Paris and Avignon
Rai to a private company, with various other
tedactiess in the expenditure of the department of
paths works, there would be in that department
ahem a saving of 5,000,000 fr. The army esti-
mates, which amounted in 1848 to 420,000,000, were
sines reduced to 314,000,000, and would experience,
in 1851, a further reduction of 12,000,000. No very
material alteration was to be made in the naval depart-
ment, the expenditure of which had been reduced
since 1848 by 24,000,000. The whole of the expen-
diture of the state would amount, in 1851, to
1,283,000,000 fr. In order to relieve agriculture, M.
Fould proposed the suppression of 17 centimes in the
tax on landed property, or 27,000,000 fr. The local
taxes, which amounted in 10 departments to
130,000,000 annually, should also be considerably
diminished for the same object. He likewise proposed
to modify the tax on doors and windows, and to re-
duce the registry duties by 6,000,000. The new im-
posts would produce an augmentation of 48,000,000.
No change was to be made in the tax oar s alt, but a
new one should be laid oa sugar, coffee, powder, shot,
/ix. Tne entire of the receipts was calculated at
1,292,000,000, showing a surplus of 8,000,000. The
floating debt, now amounting to 375,000,000, would
be reduced in 1831 to 313,000,000. National forests
are to be sold to an amount of 36,000,000. This and
other means, which would be submitted to the op-
probation of the Assembly, would, he was certain,
enable the government to meet all the wants of
the state, provided, ho ;ever, internal order was
maintained.:

'RANCE.

This expel of the minister was favourably received
by the Assembly.
None of the papers have as yet ventured to prilk-
pounce an opinion upon the new budget of the mi-
nister of finance. The surplus of eight millions,
which M. Fould promises, is considered as a specious
rather then a solid boon; and the project d sale of the
state forests, in order to raise an ex. raordinary supply
of 30 millions, will certainly encounter strong oppo-
sition. The points which deserve attention are
the relief given to the agricultural interest by
the diminution of the intp%t fonder to the
amount of 27 millions; the new taxes on powder and
rhot, cards, aed chemical sobs, and the diminution of
the duty on loans raised by mortgage, which will
deprive the revenue of about six trillions. The pro-
duce of indirect taxes is estimatei at 720 millions,
after data furnished by the experience of 1849,
and during the first months of the current year.
Finally, he proposes to sell 30,000 hectares of forest
land belonging to the state. The minister expressed
himself strongly opposed to raising a loan, except in
case of much more urgent nec.ssity than e.ppeared
for the present.
When M. Fuuld had finished his statement, the
debate on the Transportation Bill was c,mmenced,
and, after observations from one or two members, was
adjourned.
At the beginning of the aitt:ng M. Dupin was re-
elected president of the Assembly; and General
Bedeau and M. Darn vice-presidents. No other
me mber having obtained a sufficient number of votes,
another ballot for the other two vice-presidents will
be proceeded to this day.
In the sitting of the Assembly today, a new scru-
tiny took place for the election of the two remaining
vioe-presidenta. The candidats who obtained the
greatest number of votes were MM. de Vatismenil,
Leon Faucher, Bezoit D'Azy, and de Lasteyrie.
None of the candidates having obtained an absolute
majority, a new keret:fly was necessary. The dis-
ecirsion of the election of tre Haut Rhin was put off
until to-morrow. The debate on the law of transpor-
tation was then resumed, end opened by M. Victor
Hugo, who spoke rgainst the bill. He said:

In the days of Februaey, to which history could offer no
parallel—,oo, oh' and laughter)—the voice of the people
made itself heard; it demist eed the abAition of capital
punishment. Mouths black with biting car:ridges
opened to cry " kletcy." It suss a magnificent eight fur
France, for Europe, thee ! Those who deplored what was
passing—those whose interests were moat severely invaded—
applauded the unanimity of that humane chorus, and agreed
that revolutions had grand and fine moments, in which great
ideas were proclaimed. In quiet times it is the fashion to
banter ideas. Opinions take their place. PosPive men,
that is men of bemuses', who are alter all only negativo men
(ailors.' done !), men of business, who were dwarfs. (Cheers
from the Left. Voice on the Right, " Yes, and blockheads
are giants Prolonged Isughtar.) Y. Hugo turned towards
the president, and teemed to solicit his protection against a
personality. (Redoubled laughter.) Then he continued:
Rut truth is stronger than disdain; It growl, it waxes in
strength, and takes root is the country. By the form of
ideas an a revolutionary time the punishment of death for
political offences was abolished. The constituent am mb'y
confirmed this idea; and in spite of all obstacles this fist
step will lead to the abolition of capital punishment. And
yet, under the modest title of a bill for transportation the go-
'aliment had brought forward a bill which might he more
correctly styled re-establiehtnent of capital punishment for
political offences. (Remonstrances on the tight.) I hear on
that side of the Assembly that It is not death, bat trans.
portation—transportation to the Marquees,. Yourjustiee is
an assassination. The density ,no of society, it is not
death—it is not coercion—it is fraternity.
Vict* Hugo was succeeded by the minister of
justice, who was left speaking.
The committee appointed to examine the law upon
the appointment of mayors pronounced to-day against
the bill of the government. The project was thrown
out by 10 votes against 4. After the rejection a long
debits ensued as to whether any compromise should
be proposed. The result will not be known until
to-morrow.

The greettet division @mists as to the conservative
candidate to be brought forward in the new Paris
election. Opinions are balanced between Ferdinand
Foy, d'Arbouville, and Lahitte. The last, although
be has a seat in the cabinet, has none in the Assembly.
If the bill relating to electoral meetings is not passed
before the 28th inst., the government has decided on
c'osing all electoral assemblies which assume the
aspect of clubs.

M. Chassaigne has presented an amendment to the
war budget, proposing an increase of 2,230,000 fr. io
the credit demanded for the gendarmerie, in order to
create new brigades. He proposes to reduce by that
amount the credit demanded for the infantry.
The past week has again seen the metallic reserve
diminish, there appearing a decrease of 3; millions in
Paris, and 3 millions in the country banks. The dis-
count accommodation has increased in Paris nearly 4
a million, and in the branch banks about a of •
million, the amount of the former being 41,510,442 fr.,
and of the latter 65,929,225 fr. Tho protested bills
have diminished about 30,000 fr. in Paris, and about
10,000 fr. in the departments, the amount of the
former being 1,307,431 fr., and of the latter
1,421,687 fr. On the aide of the liabilities, the
nepotist of notes in circulation has augmented both in
Patio and in the provinces, the increase in the
fernier being 11 millioes, and of the latter la million.
The acconnt-ourrent of the treasury has declined
nearly 11 mil.ions, the amount at present being
42,969,355 fr. Private accounts-current in Paris have
increased about 21 millions, and in the branch banks
rieserly 3 millions, the amount of the former being
100,313,3610 r., and of the latter 28,889,880 fr. The
whole amount of the metallic reserve is at present
4741 millions, to 4821 of notes in circulation.
