INCORPORATED.

LONDON :
TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 17, 1838.

The Captain of her MAJESTY'S ship Pique, which
reached Portsmouth yesterday, arrived in town last night, the
bearer of despatches from Lord DURUAIit. Although the
dates from Quebec are not later than those we have previ-

ously obtained by the Great Western, the information she

brings is officially not unimportant. The Earl of DUR-
HAM announces the return of Captain GREY from Wash-
ington to Quebec, and that he was the bearer of the
strongest assurances, on the part of the PRESIDENT of the
United States, that he would zealously co-operate
with our Government in putting an end to the robbery and
piracy which are carried on under the semblance of open
war on the frontiers of Upper Canada. There was the
greatest prospect at Quebec of things going on smoothly
and well, and of the excited minds of the people returning
to a state of calmness and quiet. We may estimate the
advantage of steam navigation by the fact that the Pique
made the voyage in only twenty days from Quebec, but yet
the date of the news from that town is not later than that ne
previously received through New York by the steam ship.

Lord DUNDAS, who has been nominated Lord Lieute-
nant of the West Riding of Yorkshire, is son of the Earl
of ZETLAND. Ile possesses very extensive estates in that
part of the country, and has long taken an active part in
all the public matters. Being a person of excellent busi-
ness habits, great wealth, and of decide lly liberal pfn-
ciples, a better appointment could nqt have been made.

With all deference to the house of Commons, and with
a vivid impression of what it can effect by its privileges, we
are bound to say that we think its proceedings yesterday
in relation to continuing the tax on coals, for making the
approaches to the Royal Exchange, most unjust and most
scandalous. For several years p tst, the tax which its pre-
decessors rauted to the City of London, on ail the coals
consumed within a certain distance, has been loudly and
complaiiied of. It enhances the price of
all the coals consumed by the poor, not only by
she direct tax, but by strengthening and enforcing
the monopoly by multiplying the restrictions on the
trade, and by adding a profit on the capital required to ad-
vance the tax before the coals can reach the consumer.
Next to a t.ix on bread, a tax on fuel in this variable, damp,
and sometimes cold climate, is most to be derrec..ted. It
is a tax on a necessary of life; and as if to show how utterly
• and thoroughly reeardless of all principle arc our Legis-
liitors—licw solely and exclusively they look to their own
selfish ends-,-we tind the patriot Mr. GROTE, and the poor
man's frhnol Mr. Alderman Wool), amongst the promoters
of the 1311, and the Marquis of C !IA NDOS —it not con-
cerning corn—amongst its opponents. It is a tax also
en the r,w material of almost all manufactures, for few or
none cam bc perfected without coal. It inflicts cold, and
dampness, and d sea-c, on the poie in a inter, and impedes all
matitifsetures ; )ct this unjast tax vas by the act of the
House of Coniii ens last &a.l.t combined for an indefinite
period, for the adyatiLg,.4 of sorne
Aceor.ing to, the poldic Bid l emoted by Mr. LA-
moth:tutu:, to svliell ae alyerted oa Eidas, there is a
prob that this toisit.us im' o t might eaw;e about
832. ; aecor iog to the pri, e which was read a third
time last night, :tad passed by the Go: patriots, it is to
be contiouNt for 'A 11111::11 long period.. And what inte.est
!'rye all the inhabitants of the valley or tile Thames iu
makiag fine alpoaches to the Royal Ex chang,.! that
they slmuld he taxed to hay for them ? how a ill the
sliss,.lers in the alleys and lanes, and corners of the ontskirts
of the Idetropodi 1)s b, netted by the Eno streets in the
neighbourhood of the Royal Exchange, that they must pay
for making tbe:n ? The inhabitants of the spot will benefit
by the improvement—why should they not ;say for it ?
The dwellings will became more airy, the facilities for car-
rying on husioess will be increased, the rents will rise, the
property tof used for public ways will become more va-
luable; and why, in the name of common sense and ho-
nesty, should not those who are to reap these advantages
pay for them ? What are the great nn,rits of' the fre-
quenters of the Exchange—now become little more than a
race of gamblers and speculators—that all classes should
be taxed to promote their cnnycnienee? We look on the
Bill as a mast unjust and nelaricus jab, which will be the
parent of a great family of jobs. But improvident and unjust
though it be, it was supported by the pious representative
of Oxford University, as well as by the patriots.
After the House of Commons bad agreed to this Bill it
pas:ed to the consideration of the Irish tithe measure ;
and Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in deference to what he sup-
poses the wish of the house, tired of Irish questions, and
resolved on any terms to get rid of them, declared di st he
was disposed to accede in substance to the proposition
made by Sir ROBERT PEEL on thin day week. The modifi-
cations are these—whereas the Right Hon. Baronet would
kave given up the 740,000/., for it turns out to be 740,0001.
istead of G 40,009/. a!reirly advanced, and would have
500,000/. additional in the hands of Commissioners,
to be dOvoted
to the liquidation of all other arrears up to
;try time,
eowners to acti-'ut whatme, as y could
titli the
best
tarcomlish it, leaving it to the
Commissionerp offers or not ;
proposes to advance only the
Lord JOHN RUSSELL
260,000/• remaining of the million, with an y part of
the 740,0001. that may have been repaid, and to
make it compulsory on the titheown o
er to accept
im w
to can
be hat
proportion
be paid by this sum, giving a fair p
for his arrears. Both parties agree In sacrificing a
large sum of the public money to pay the arrears of those
who by law—but the law is impotent—should pay tithes
in Ireland ; but Sir ROBERT would sacrifice the largest sum,
and he, making it optional for the Tithe-owners to take it,
would leave all the elements of discord in existencs. The
Chronicle fears that the Ministers would suffer in their po-
pularity for this measure ; but they are still in advance of
the Tories, and can only suffer more in the public estima-
tion, because more is expected of them.
Both patties in making thii proposition unite ill saying,
