LONDON,
FRIItY EVENING, FEBRUARY 26, 1836.

In the House of Commons last night, Lord F.
EGERTON presented a petition, signed by seventy of the
largest Paper manufacturers in, the United Kingdom,
praying for the reduction and equalization of the ex-
cise ditty on Paper. We congratulate the Noble
Lord on the lucid and comprehensive view which he
took of a question which is daily becoming more im-
portant ; and we defy any person to read his speech
carefully without being struck with the practical lesson
which it teaches the cuckoo admirers of the wisdom of
our ancestry. In reading the old Statutes, one is
almost tempted to believe that the main object of our
early legislation was to limit discovery. It was not
enough to tax articles—the mode of manufacturing
them, and the materials for their manufacture, were
likewise regulated with the nicest precision. In the
eyes of our venerable ancestors a departure from the
established mode of manufacturing a pair of
blankets was not less criminal than the promulgation
of a new path to Paradise. Heresy in trade was no
less an object of punishment than heresy in religion.
In the reign of that " bright and - occidental star
Queen ELIZABETH"—as King JAMES'S Biblical
commentators style our virgin Sovereign—the pre-
cise length of a citizen's coat was fixed by statute,
and the covering of all heads, after a fashion
known to the grand-sires of the Worshipful Cap-
pers' Company, was insisted upon as absolutely
necessary to the maintenance of the Monarchy, and
the discouragement of Popery in these realms.
CHARLES I. regulated the mode of manufacturing
soap ! and ANNE prescribed the materials for the pro-
duction of paper T. In this way the whole of our
. Excise Laws have been enacted ; and it is only ex-
pressing the opinion of all enlightened men when we
assert, that a more iniquitous, vexatious, and illiberal
code, never disgraced the statute-book of any country.
We state this advisedly ; and if proofs be wanting, 411
we need say is to refer any man to the Excise Laws
for the manufacture of glass, pottery, and earthenware
of all sorts—to the laws for the .superintendence and
guaging of all malt and spirituous distilleriet—and to
every other branch of trade subject to the operation of
the Excise Code.

The great moral evil of our Excise Code is, that it
„ •
to make men distrustful Government -by
its perpetual interference in their affairs, and that it
exertses•their wits in the safest "modes ClUding the
payment of those taxes which it is meant to raise. :The
law is j-elt.tb be iniquitous," perhaps.ru'inouSiO' the
tnanufacturer. The next step is to eVade.ii—and from'
the successful evasion of one law springs a disregard
forsio nalol
fo ttl:,eer s. In the
law
in
the singleei eiee articleef of Paper,
theraw material

is
inevitable. Old cordage is not tohubefaectppurrreoescreuili.rsted, at

aof Pap—a'od
com-
pelled to subrititute a less expensive material.
In fact) the law—as it now stands—with re-
gard to the manufacture of paper, is so ridiculously
absurd, vexatious, and oppressive, that we are only
surprised that the manufacturers have been hitherto
so silent respecting its mischievous operation.
The speech of the CHANCELLOR
courseo asf
a thep l
oe Edf ;:aec

QUER was highly satisfactory ; and we have every
• rtheaesodnuttyo bweillilevheemeagyuableizecdonisuidetrheed
months. We know that such is the intention of seve-
ral members of the Government. At the same time
we are first for the abolition or reduction of the Stamp
duty on Newspapers, as by far the more important
measure of the two. A free Press is like an
extended Parliamentary suffrage—an end in itself,
and yet the means for the procuring of still
uureeo
greater ends. We understand that the CHANCELLOR

to anticipate
the increased consumption of Paper will more than
make up for a revenue of twopence in the pound, on
the quantity now manufactured. But to guard against
any difficulty on this head, the country would be satis-
fied, were the reduction of the Paper duty to take

place several monthgt 'after the abolition of the Stamp
tax—say i❑
.the "month of August' next. . The 'best
plan will be to equalize the duty, and, if possible; to
lower it to one penny in the pound, on every
description.

Our readers Will see, by referring to our Parlia-
mentary Report, His MAJESTY'S reply to the Address
on the subject of Orange Societies, which was read
last night in the House of Commons by Lord JOHN.
RUSSELL. In his reply, His MAJESTY emphatically
says—" It is my firm intention to discourage all such
Societies in my dOminions, and I rely on the fidelity of
my loyal subjects to support me in this determination."
Thus an extinguisher is at length put upon that sys-
tem by which Ireland has so long been oppressed ;
andin which Sir R. PEEL, during the whole course of
his Tory Administration, could discover ►not the
slightest impropriety. We have now His MAJESTY'S
express declaration that Orangeism is unconsti-
tutional ; that it is a power unknown to
.the
law, and at variance with civil order ; and
that, consequently, it is the duty of all his
" loyal subjects " to support him in his " firm
intention " to suppress it. Of course, as loyal
subjects, the Orangemen will not lose a moment in
furthering their SOVEREIGN'S wishes on this head.
They have always been among the foremost to boast
of their superior, indeed almost exclusive, loyalty ; and
they have now a fine opportunity of proving their faith
by their works. Let them instantly disband their
forces ; decline all further allegiance to an " Imperial
Grind Master ;" dismiss their hosts of secretaries,
under-secretaries, chaplains, agents,- and sub-agents,
and retire, one and all, into the walks of private life.
Let the Orangemen act, without an instant's delay, in
this. manner, and we shall then, indeed, begin to give
them some little credit for the loyalty of which, for
years and years, they have made such repeated and
such noisy professions.

It will be seen by our Parliamentary Report, that
Mr. Rica, in the House of Commons, last night,
brought in a Bill for the consolidation and amend-
ment of certain Acts relating to Public Works in Ire-
land. We are not acquainted with the whole of the
provisions of the proposed measure ; but, judging
from what fell from the Irish Members, we may
congratulate the people of Ireland upon the excel-
lence of its general tendency. If the condition of the
Irish people—morally and physically—be not improved
by a future course of legislation, all we can say is, that
no part of the fault will be attributable to wilful neg-
lect or culpable ignorance on the part of his MA JEZTY. s
present Ministers. We can in truth assure them, that
they have no friends more sincere—no judges more
impartial, even as regards their sense of injury—than
the Members of the Cabinet.

In answer to a question put by Mr. As FILEY last
night in the House of Commons, as to whether it was
the intention of Ministers to do away with the arm-
malous, feudal privileges attached to the Bishopric of
Durham, Lord JOHN RUSSELL observed that the
point was now under the consideration of Government.
We are glad to hear this, and hope that Ministers
will be equally on the alert as respects the new ap-
pointment to that diocese, and bestow it only on one
who is friendly to Church Reform. The Episcopal
Inch is not so crowded with liberal and enlightened
Prelates, but that it can afford an addition to the
number.

The country is much indebted to Mr. BULLER for
his very able exposition of the abuses which prevail in
the appointment of Election Committees in the House
of Commons ; and for the course which he proposes
to adopt, with a view to purify the source of political
justice. The present system is so odious, that it
found no supporters among members of any party ;
for precisely in proportion to the experience of
Honourable Gentlemen, was the increase in the
degree of strength with which they repudiated it. In
fact, an Election Committee carried with it, in its de-
liberations, all the political virulence of the hustings,
and by so much the stronger, as the Members were
not amenable to the influence of public opinion. If
Mr. BULLER persevere, as we trust he will, in car-
rying out his plan of reform, he will elevate the cha-
'meter of the House, and confer a most signal benefit
on the Electoral body in every part of the United
Kingdom. _

The debate of last Friday, on the motion of Lord
DUDLEY STUART, respecting our political relations
with Russia, did not satisfy public expectation ; nor was
it, we conceive, conducted in a spirit commensurate
with the vast importance of the subject. We were
struck with 'the little general interest excited by so im-
portant a motion, and with the limited knowledge and
information evinced by most of
.the speakers on a
question of such vital interest to the country. Many
of the most distinguished Members—the Leaders of
those parties into which the House is divided—ap-
pear, unhappily, to have thought the subject unworthy
of their notice; because it involved, not a party triumph
or a party defeat, but the national honour, and the
highest national interests of their country.
We render full justice to the speech of Lord
DUDLEY STUART. We discover in it a sincere and
independent conviction of the truth and justice of the
propositions he advanced—an earnest and patriotic
zeal for the welfare of England—and a perfect know-
ledge of his subject. We apprehend, however, that
the eXtent,andlie variety of the question he dis-
missed, before an audience the majority of whom were
we will venture -to say, very familiar with the
futs he adduced, had a tendency to defeat the main
object-of his motion. That object manifestly was; ito
demonstrate 'the probability and the -danger of , the
occOpation of the Dardanelles by Russia—the faci-
lities which every day present themselves to her, for
the achievement of this conquest—the immense ad-
vantages she would thereby acquire, and the imminent
danger and serious loss which would immediately re-
sult to England. Who can deny the importance of
this branch of the question ? Yet, it appears to have
been entirely lost sight of in the debate, and no Ho-
nourable Member, not even the Noble Secretary of
State, brought this essential point fully and fairly
under the notice of the House. Lord PALMER-
STON'S speech was vague and indefinite, and some of
his assertions were not, and cannot be, sustained by
facts. Take, for instance, the statement by which he
gravely informs the House, that the Pluto was dis-
armed to make room for the baggage of Lord
DURHAM and his suite—as if there were not suf.
ficient room in a King's steamer both for guns and
baggage !—or as if, for sooth, the Navy of England
numbers so few vessels, that a sloop of war would
not be spared from the Mediterranean Fleet to carry,
if necessary, the Ambassador's paraphernalia I
The advocates of Lord PALMERSTON'S policy may
urge in his defence, that there was no necessity for
making any offensive display of guns in passing the
Dardanelles—that his Lordship could not have anti-
cipated the superstructure which the enemies of Rus-
sia would contrive to erect upon so fragile a founda-
tion as a mere unintentional omission. But a refe-
rence to the file of any London Journal will expose
the erroneousness of such a defence. Long before
the Earl of DURHAM had been appointed by his
MAJESTY to represent this Court at St. Petersburgh,
, the secret article annexed to the treaty of Unkiar

Skelessi' was published and -commented upon by
the leading political jOtirna4 of London and Patis
In fact, a cry of indignation was raised against Russia,
and the Governments of England and France were be-
sought to take some opportunity of proving to the world,
that they were not disposed to subject themselves to
such disgraceful compacts. In the midst of this,
cry, it was announced that one of the most high-
spirited and liberal-minded Noblemen in England was
about to visit the capital of Russia, charged with a
most important diplomatic mission. The French and
German Press took up the announcement in the spirit
in which they supposed it to be made by the British
Government. For our own part, we confess we were in
ecstacies at the idea of teaching Russia the folly of
entering into a secret treaty, circumscribing the move-
ments of a British man-of-war ship. Our language
on the occasion was repeated by the French Press, and
even the .Augsburg Gazette invited Europe to a

roof of the non-existence .of a secret treat,

in the free and unrestricted passage of an English
war-vessel through the Dardanelles. And yet, to
the humiliation of England, the mortification of
France, and the triumph of Ru.ssia, our Ambassador

passed the prohibited Straits in a disrnantledAteam
boat ! Comment upon such a fact is surely unnc

cessary
We must acknowledge, however, that it was rather
what the Noble Secretary omitted• to say, than what
he actually did say, which deserves attention. Is it
not very remarkable that Lord PALMERSTON said
absolutely nothing on the main object of the motion'?
What security has the Government that the Darda-
nelles will not be occupied by Russia ? Do we rely
on Russian protestations? And are we indeed tranquil-
lized by assurances of the value and of the good faith
of which we have had so many and such ample means
of judging ? This was the question proposed by Lord
DUDLEY STUART, and this is the question which it
behoves the people of England to take into their se-
rious consideration. On this point, as we have before
observed, the Minister maintained a profound silence,
and that silence appears to us to speak more empha-
tically than a thousand high-sounding words. Does
it not prove that England intends to act, and not to
talk ? A considerable naval armament contradicts,
let it be known, some of the measured phrases of the
Noble Secretary, and is, we hope, not merely an empty
demonstration, but a practical commentary on the
Minister's silence on other points.

The debate which took place last night in the House
of Commons, on the subject of military flogging, will
be read with deep interest by the British public. Ap-
pearances, we are afraid, do not warrant us to indulge
the hope, that the Government is favourable to the
abolition of the brutalizing punishment of the cat-o%
nine-tails.

The whole of the Paris Papers of Wednesday have
been received. Their contents are of no political im-
portance. On Tuesday M. THIERS made his appear-
ance in the Chamber of Peers as President of the
Council, and in a speech remarkable for its length, in-
formed their
.Lordships of the change that had taken
place in the Cabinet, together with the political course
about to be adopted by himself and his colleagues. In
the course of his oration he lauded the late Ministry,
as composed of most efficient elements, and concluded
by assuring them that there had been a change,of men,
but not of measures. It is, however, conjectured, that
a considerable change will take place in the future con-
duct of the Government. M. THIERS is persuaded
that the Government must relax in its severity towards
the liberal party and the Press, to obtain the confidence
of the French people.
Advices from Barcelona to the 17th inst. inform us
that General MINA and the French Consul are on the
worst possible terms with each other. MINA is ac-
i cused of treating the French residents in that city with

much severity.
The Chamber of Deputies has elected MM.
CALrtoN, DUCHATEL, and TESTE as its Vice-Pre-
sidents, in the room of MM. SAUZET, PASSY, and
PELET, now Members of the Cabinet. M. PERSIL,
the late Minister of Justice, was a candidate, but had
the mortification to be rejected by a large majority of
the Chamber.
PARIS, FEE. 24.—The letters and journals from the Spa-
nish frontier received this morning do not announce any im-
portant fact.
Jaureguy and Iriarte had arrived, the one from Santander,
the other from St. Sebastian to the relief of Portugalette.
The alarms which may hare been felt on that side are dis-
pelled.
Nearer to us, has established a military line from
Pampeluna to Valcarlos. Serrario, Captain-General of Ar-
ragon, who was to be superseded by Rodil, has received coun-
ter orders, and returns to Saragossa. Rodil will have the com-
mand of an army of reserve of 25,000 men. The Moniteur
of to-day announces that the Chimere steam-boat from Algiers
arried at Toulon on the 23d of February. Let us hope that
we shall at length receive by this channel some information re-
specting the expedition to Ilemecen. The affair of the plot
of Neuilly will not come before the Court of Assizes till the
second fortnight of March. —Messa yer, Feb. 24.

in the Three per Cents., which are, however, rather worse, at
80f. 60c., sellers. The Spanish stockholders are in complete
dismay, in consequence of the sudden fall in Madrid in the

in the evening. This has produced a fall here, the 'Actives

CC THE SUN " EXPItESSES.—The numerous ac-
knowledgements which we continue to receive by every
post, from our Contemporaries of all parties, throughout
the country in Wales and Scotland, as well as in England,
would require much more of our space for a separate no-
tice than we can well spare during the pressure of the
Parliamentary debates. We therefore beg, by one general
expression of our satisfaction, to be excused a repetition
and recurrence, to which our columns, ample as they arc,
would yet be unequal, without trenching upon room which
must be devoted to matter of greater and more public im-
portance. We promise our Contemporaries, and through
them our subscribers and the public, that as we began so
shall we go on—success shall not induce us to slacken our
speed, but rather to increase the celerity of our Expresses.
We shall continue to keep the lead, by diffusing through
the United Kingdom the Latest News in the shortest time—
and thus preserye that proud pre-eml.nence which has long
and consistently marked the course of The Sun.

The Marquis of Waterford, -who some time ago
cultivated an acquaintance with the New York Dogberrics,
has, during the present week, procured an introduction to the
new police of this borough. His Lordship, at an early hour
on Tuesday morning, was vociferously rousing the sleeping
echoes of Hurnberstone-gate, when policeman No. 36, who
had no taste for such aristocratic music, unceremoniously
ordered the brawler to desist. My Lord was indignant at the
impertinence of " the fellow," and persisted in breaking " the
peace of our Sovereign Lord the King ;" whereupon he was
instantly conducted to the station-liouse at the Town-hall. A
sergeant, to whom the noble Marquis gave his name, allowed
him (in like manner with other such " disorderlies,") to go at
large, on condition that he went peaceably home to bed.—
Leicester Chronicle.
We are sorry to learn that the Venerable and
Learned Bishop of Salisbury is so ill that little hope is enter-
tained of his recovery.

NTICE-CHANCERY.-(THISDAY.)

'• ELLIS -V. WALISIERSI.EY.
This ease, it will be recollected, was argued before his
Honour the Vice-Chancellor and Mr. Justice Bosanquet, when
Lords Commissioners of the Great Seal. Upon their Lord-
ships being, called upon to resign the Great Seal, they gave,
judgment lit the case, but without stating the reasons that had
induced them to come to that decision. The parties being
anxious to hear the reasons„ his Honour appointed this morning
f,,r that purpose. LI t ten o'clock his Honour, accompanied by
Mr. Justice 13osanquef,, took his seat, and immediately pro-
ceeded to give judgment. The appeal was from the decision
of the present Lord Chance:Tor, when Master of the Rolls, de-
claring that the compensation given for the abolition of the
office of Side Clerk of the Ex-el,equer, held by one of the
partners in the house of Ellis, Walenersley, and Co. ill
Chancery-lane, was partnership property, till the ea
for
ration of the partnership, which was to continue
ten years. The Vice-Chancellor, after goilig through the
facts of the case at considerable length, stared his opinion to
be, in which Mr. Justice Bosanquet concurred, that the deci-
sion of the Court below was right, and must be Affirmed, each

party paying their own costs.
IN RE WHITTON'S CHARITY.
This was a petition for the confirmation of the lalaster's Re-
port approving of the appointment of trustees, anLI a scheme
for the future regulation of the charity. The testato.- had left
certain property for the benefit of two charities, the Vighbury
College, and the Protestant Union Society. The first toe
for the education of certain persons of Calvinistic sentiineets"
and the other for Protestants of different denominations
and the surplus funds were to be applied for the bent
of the widows of Calvinistic clergymen sound in the faitlso
agreeabio to the custom of the Assembly, who had bees
educated in the College. Though the charity had been:
in operation since 1824, no widows properly qualified had
been found to receive the bounty intended for them. The
scheme which the Master had approved of was that in default
of widows properly qualifies
.. a moiety of the trust fund should
be applied by the Trustees for the benefit of poor students at
the College, and the other moiety was to be applied for the
benefit of widows of clergymen educated in the College, ie
default for their children ; and in case there should be no
children coming under that denomination, then the moiety Was
to go for the benefit of the College.
