LONDON, FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 1853.

Another Ministerial defeat--the second during
the week—and on a fiscal subject ! The mantle
of Sir CHARLES WOOD appears to have descended
with double power on Mr. GLADSTONE, and unless
that Right Hon. Gentleman exhibit very unequi-
vocal evidence that he has profited by the salutary
—though rather unpleasant—lessons he has re-
ceived, the " joint-stock " Administration will
speedily have to submit to the operation of a
Legislative " winding-up." All the stereotyped
cant that had been used usque ad nauseam by the
most unpopular and incompetent Minister that
ever mismanaged the national finances, appears to
have been carefully preserved by the present occu-
pant of the office, and brought out on every pos-
sible occasion. He is not satisfied with enume-
rating the invariable, and, almost solitary argument
of the Right Hon. Baronet the Member for Halifax,
"that the tax" (no matter how inequitable or im-
politic) " produces so many thousands per annum
to the Exchequer, which he is certainly not pre-
pared to relinquish," but, in the exuberance of his
eloquence, launches forth into all the worn-out
and oft-refuted fallacies—as if they were as indis-
putable as proofs of Holy Writ. Ho is particu-
larly great on the " time" question. Everything
is either too early or too late. " Too early," if
the opinion of the House is demanded before he
has given expression to his views ; " too late," if
the financial arrangements have been concluded
and the votes on ,the Budget taken. ; while. any
introduction of the disagreeablesemtoepiwc
oduludrinbge.tahne
discussion on the financial
unpardonable crime an offence of very serious
magnitude.
The Right Hon. Gentleman seems to be strongly
impressed with (what we had supposed to be) the
of th
exploded doctrine of the fiscal ln
Financial Minister—the " rightdivine" of
Cle
cellors of the Exchequer to deal withtdh,e national
revenue just as they think proper, and, that the
representatives of the people are neither more nor
less than political serfs bound to register their
" ukases," and to accept with " bated breath and
deep humility" the boons, which in the plenitude
of their bounty, they condescend to bestow.
He even grew facetious on the point, and
suggested an additional saving—the sugges-
tion was heartily cheered by the Hon-
ourable Gentleman, the Member for Lambeth
by the abolition of the situation he now holds.
He intended to convey au intimation of what
appeared to him to be the "highly ludicrous
notion," that the office could be put in com-
mission ; the Board consisting of the framers of
amateur budgets—of all who are sufficiently bold
t 3 question the ipse dixitg of the financial would-
be autocrat. We confess, however, that the
proposition appears to be well worthy of serious

consideration ; for certainly, as the office has been
filled for six out of the last seven years, its aboli-
tion would accomplish not merely a saving of
5,0001., with contingent retiring pensions, but
would insure a muth more efficient discharge of
its duties. The hint may be taken in a very
different manner from that in which it was in-
tended. _ _

driest details in abundance. There are the most
pains-taking investigations. Bat, how about the
results—how about the fruits of all this elaborate
preparation—howabout the veritable performances
of this laborious and indefatigable Parliament ?
Ol mce over the legislative history of the last few
months, as furnished by the stenographers of
HANSARD, and we conjecture that the community
will be dismayed at the little good really accom-
plished after all this seeming assiduity. Posi-
tively, the duties of the House of Commons ap-
pear to have latterly resolved themselves into these
two very notable ones—to wrangle and to pro-
crastinate. Everything of real import is made in
turn the subject of a prolonged squabble, and this
squabbling almost invariably ends in postpone-
ment.

If the Right Hon. Gentleman had accepted
the salutary warnings conveyed to him not
very long since, he might have been saved this
great humiliation—a humiliation very injurious
to the Cabinet of which he is a leading member.
The objections to the different " Taxes on Know-
ledge "—more particularly to that, the least pro-
ductive of all, which has now been unequivocally
condemned by a decisive majority—were then
clearly and distinctly pointed out. He might,
had he bestowed the attention on the sub-
ject which it so eminently merited, have
then, ascertained the true state of the case
and the imperative necessity of conceding, to that
extent at least, the just demands of the Fourth
Estate. Unfortunately he was misled by an
inconsiderate suggestion in favour of a species of
compromise—a reduction of the duty to 6d. The
apparent division—the want of union—had un-
doubtedly a powerful effect. Mr. GLADSTONE
naturally thought that, where the parties were
not agreed amongst themselves, he could af-
ford to disregard all their complaints and all
their applications. And this feeling was
unquestionably increased by a subsequent applica-
tion from the representatives of three of the lead-
ing metropolitan journals, of every grade and
variety of political opinion, from the highest
Conservatism to extreme Radicalism, including
the juste milieu, in favour of the injudicious pro-
position. An application the more to be re-
gretted, as it was made without the sanction or
even the knowledge of others with whom they
had previously co-operated. It had its effect,
however, and most probably in some degree
induced, Mr. GLADSTONE to refuse any concession
whatsoever. The majority of 31 has, however,
proved to him the necessity of progress. It is not
yet t )o late for him to ragain the place which he has
r elrly forfeited. After the vote that has been
i Ten, 1 e must, give up the Advertisement Duty.
They have been condemned by a righteous judg-
ment, and nothing can ever again render them at
all tolerable. He has no longer any discretion or
choice on the subject. The matter has been
finally disposed of, and cannot now be altered.

But on the other points, where a locus pent-
tentice still remains, we would once more cau-
tion the Right Honourable Gentlemen not to imi-
tate the perversity exhibited by the present
President of the Board of Control. The ad-
mirable letter read by Mr. JAMES MACGREGOR
in the course of his very able speech, must satisfy
any unprejudiced person of the impolicy of the
" wet blanket" on literature—the injudicious im-
post that prevents useful publications. This evil,
however, admits of a gradual remedy. The re-
duction might easily be spread over three years.
One halfpenny per lb. per annum would afford very
perceptible relief, and prove entirely satisfactory
to the parties chiefly interested. If that altera-
tion were to commence in October, there could be
no loss of any description during the financial year
ending sth of April next, and any diminution from
that source would be fully made up from other
branches in the ensuing years, until the boon
came into full practical operation. We trust
that he will, while there is yet time, before Mon-
day evening, revolve these matters in his mind,
and that a happy result may follow this considera-
tion.

We cannot conclude without bestowing well-
merited praise upon MI. DISRAELI for
the candid announcement of the resolution
at which he had arrived. It shows how fully
we were justified in the opinion to which
we gave expression, that more valuable re-
forms might be anticipated from the Ministry of
which he was the leader in the popular branch of
the Legislature, than from others who arrogated
to themselves the title of " Liberal," and who re-
fused to show fair play to their opponents.

Parliament is no Garden of the Hesperides—
although the fanciful may see in it the golden
fruits of legislation guarded by the Dragons of
Experience. It is something very different, in-
deed, from a realm of faeryland, where the repre-
sentatives of the people may dream away their
time with a confident reliance upon human per-
fectibility, and in a delightful conviction that the
present age is rapidly approaching the Millennum.
Perhaps the British House of Commons is the
most matter-of-fact assembly in Christendom.
Latterly the truth of this has been growing every
session, more and more, unmistakeably apparent.
Within the last quarter of a century the predo-
minating influence of reason or sheer plain sense
has affected even the style of oratory and the
method of discussion. Nowadays, we wager that
Mr. BURKE would be laughed at " consumedly"
if he were to venture upon throwing another
dagger upon the floor of the Legislature. Colonel
SIBTHORP himself could scarcely excite more merri-
ment, we fancy, by the most preposterous display,
of his eccentric rhodomontade. Nay, we ques-
tion very much if the Right Hon. Gentleman would
not run the risk of following the destinies of poor
FEARGUS O'CONNOR, and wake up some fine morn-
ing in Dr. TUKE'S Lunatic Asylum at Turnham-
green—to find himself pronounced insane by a
commission de lunatico inquirendo. Why, exa-
mine for a moment the nature of our Parliamen-
tary proceedings. Can anything be more diffe-
rent from what they were in the days of our fore-
fathers ? Conservatism may still be rather too
much the vogue in other quarters, but in that at
least the change effected has been—radical. Some
might presume even to insinuate that it has been
only another illustration of the " deformed trans-
formed." Regarded in any point of view, it must
be allowed to be sufficiently remarkable. Instead
of senators, the country seems to have secured the
services of a body of exceedingly shrewd and sen-
sible vestrymen. Statistics with them appear to
have almost entirely superseded the flowers of
rhetoric. Their blue-books, the printed record of
their more important doings—sold, appropriately
enough (in consideration of their being the very
reverse of " light reading "), according to their
weight, in sc many ounces avoirdupoise—afford
a tolerable idea of the character of their current
literature. Remember, in fact, who those men
are who are admitted to be the principal orators
among living statesmen. Scarcely one amongst
them can be regarded as of that school in which
Mr, Pirr, and Mr. Fox, and Mr. CANNING, and
Mr. WHITBREAD were prominently illustrious.
Possibly in elevation of style, and dignity of
manner, Mr. GLADSTONE may be considered to be
one of their political descendants—but then Mr.
GLADSTONE is amongst ourselves, at this moment,
almost a solitary exception. His contemporaries,
as debaters, resemble him in hardly one parti-
cular. The majority of them speak from the
floor of the House of Commons as they speak
from the platform of the hustings. They address
the SpEAFER (apart from mere forms) as they do
their constituents. And so, the tone of the
House has become lowered, we conceive, and this
almost within the experience of the present gene-
ration. _ _

•
Nevertheless—matter of fact asmwmeenarsee,nlsoevibneg
statistics as we do, preferring co_
forg appeals to the imagination—we doubt very
much whether more work than of yore is
by the
actu-
ally accomplished within any given time
Members of the British Legislature. It is a
question, we take it, entitled to some little con-
sideration. We are musing over matters affect-
ing the welfare of nations when we are observing
the progress of those discussions which are marked
at intervals by divisions, or by the passing of
memorable Acts of Parliament. We are not
lingering over an idle day-dream. We are not
watching the course taken by the silver rivulet of
Sir RICHARD FANSHAWE, or listening to the
warble of the birds--

" Timing with stops of gold the silver string."
Very different is the channel followed, and the
sounds accompanying the current of those proceed-
ings of the Imperial Legislature. Everything there
we have intimated, has an appearance of earnest
labour and energetic occupation. There are the

The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 10,000 bales. The market closed
with animation, and compared with Friday's rates

The aggregate business in the produce markets
has been more limited this week. British Planta-
tion Sugar has been steady, but East India a shade
lower. Coffee has been quite neglected, but Ceylon
sorts maintain generally about the previous rates.
Tea has been held for rather fuller rates. Spices
have been fully as dear, and cotton has been in
fair demand at previous rates. Tallow has been
firm and in request. In jute and hemp there has
been less inclination to deal.

The, accounts from New York, received two days
ago, reported a comparatively buoyant state of the
Stock Market, money having become easier, and
loans were negotiable on better terms. At the
latest date, however (according to letters of the
Ist inst. just to hand), a slight re-action had oc-
curred, and indications of increased stringency were
observable. Cotton had advanced id. to id. per
lb., owing to the accounts received from Europe,
and the market for bread stuffs was firmer.
During the month of March, the tonnage of vessels
which entered New York, from all parts, amounted
to 159,461 tons. The value of merchandise and
specie exported during the month was 5,628,874
dollars, which contrasted favourably with the cor-
responding period in 1852. Freights were firm.
The provision market was generally steady.
The amount of specie entered at the New York
Custom-house in the month of March was 6,471,258
dollars, of which 6,231,960 dollars were in gold
dust. The number of vessels entered was 388 of
159,461 tons, of which 14,975 tons were British,
and 130,880 tons United States.
The value of the exports from New York during
March was as follows :

There does not appear to have been much differ-
ence in the aggregates. The increase is confined
entirely to exports of domestic merchandise. The
movements of specie have been very uniform.
The advices by the Overland Mail from India
are, in relation to commercial affairs, not quite so
satisfactory. At Bombay, trade was dull, without
any special reason being assigned, and the proba-
bility was, that the slacker demand for English
fabrics was simply one of those " lulls" which so
often occur both in the Bombay and Calcutta mar-
kets. The long passages which the vessels on the
way out were making, were one alleged cause of
the existing dullness. The abundance of money is
an encouraging circumstance, and all Securities
were in demand at Bombay. The rate of exchange
was down a little, being 2s. old. per rupee.
Public Securities have been very animated, and
the defeat of Ministers upon the Advertisement
Duty has not occasioned any fall in prices, although
it may have repressed the rising tendency. The
belief that Mr. Gladstone will yield with a good
grace, is probably one cause of the support given to
the market, but there are also other circumstances
that have their weight. Just before the close of
business yesterday, there was a large operation en-
tered into, said to be on behalf of a foreign capi-
talist, -gv per cent, being given for the " call" of
200,0001. Consols at 101. This morning Mr. Capel
sold 260,0001. New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.,
and bought
.260,00/. Consols, another proof that
this latter security is very favourably thought of,
and that the plan of conversion into Two-and-a-
Half per Cents. is relatively too favourable and will be
preferred therefore to the New Three-and-a-Half
per Cent. Stock Consols have been 1008 to for
transfer, and 1001 to -II- for account. Bank Stock has
been marked 225 to 226, being firm. The New Three
and-a-Quarter per Cents., after realising 1031 and
1031, have receded upon the information above
given to 1031 Exchequer Bills of March are at
7s. premium ; those of June 4s. to ss. premium.
Indian Bonds are 40s. premium.
Mexican Bonds are looking up again, and have
marked 28 to ;. Peruvian Scrip is 3i to 4i pre-
mium. Grena,c.a Active Bonds realise 23k. Spanish
New Deferred Stock is worth 24i, and the Cer-
tificates are firmer at 61 the Ministry at Madrid,
according to the latest accounts, being still in
office, with one exception. Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. are 65i to 66k,
The Railway Share Market is much brisker and
an improvement of about it per cent. has occurred
in the quotations. The chief business is in Aber-
deen, Great Northern, North Western and the
York lines, and although the aggregate transac-
tions have not been large, the rise in prices is f to
per cent. Frenc'i shares are very firm, with
more doing.- Upper India have been done at
premium. The present mail, it is probable, bas
brought dispatches from the Governor General,
bearing on this subject.
The Land Companies' shares have lost yesterday's
improvement. The agricultural are down 31. to
Si. British American are higher ag,ain.
The Gold Mines are quiet, but the Californian
Companies look firm.
The Joint Stock Bank Shares are dull.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT, AND PROBABLE Loss OF
LIFE IN SERJEANT'S-INN, FLEET-STREET.—A very pain-
ful sensation has prevailed since Wednesday afternoon
last, in the immediate vicinity of Serjeant's-inn, Fleet-
street, owing to the following melancholy occurrence,
which it is feared will terminate fatally. From careful
inquiries made it appears that Messrs. Keene and Mar-
shall, the auctioneers and surveyors, carry on an exten-
sive business at No. 2, in the before named inn, and
amongst various articles sent for the firm to value was a
single barrelled gun. Both Mr. Keene and Mr. Mar-
shall mniutely inspected the weapon, but were totally
ignorant of the fact that it wasp artially loaded. On
Tuesday afternoon a percussion cap was attached to the
lock of the gun, which was struck by the hammer ; but
although the cap exploded, it made no effect upon the
contents of the barrel, which it was subsequently ascer-
tained, from the painful effects which followed, to have
been half loaded. On Wednesday afternoon, between
four and five o'clock, whilst Mr. Marshall was examining
the gun, it suddenly exploded, and the contents lodged
in the:cheek and head of his unfortunate partner. The
charge of the gun having entered at the cheek travelled
as far as the head, where it finally settled. Blood in
copious streams flowed from the wound, and we regret
to state that Mr. Keene became so exhausted, that it
was necessary to convey him to King's College Hospital,
which was accordingly done, but at eight o'clock last
evening he was pronounced to be in an exceedingly dan-
gerous condition, in fact the reporter was informed upon
n
making inquiries at that institution, that no hopes coul
be entertained of his recovery. that
the least blame can
be attributable to Mr. Marshall, who the moment after
the distressing event took place proceeded to the Fleet-
street police-station and gave the inspector on duty an
account of the manner the occurrence happened.
