COLONIAL MARKETS,

Business is very quiet, indeed bordering on dulness; prices of some
commodities are merely nominal, and those of others uncertain. The
business, which was confined to the market for export, has now extended
itself to that for consumption. B.P. Sugar sells slowly at the prices at which
it has been quoted all week. Up to the time we are writing, the sale of
the week amount to 1,000 hhds. Refined Sugar is quiet at 355. 6d. for
tine crushed. To-day we have sales of 7,894 bags of Mauritius, which,
at the time we left, went at previous firm rates, and seemed likely to do
so. We had also 4,165 bags of Bengal, which sold steadily at pre-
vious rates. No Coffee worth notice in the Market ; indeed, there is
no stock of any moment. The Market for Spices is flat, and to
sell, it seems that lower prices must be taken. Rum is steady in
price. Rice is not in the market. For Saltpetre the market is dull,
and only part of the 4,000 bags put up to sale this day sold, and prices
we make easier. Cocoa, 210 bags. Brazil fetched, as far as the sale
progressed, when we left, much about previous rates.
The Imports continue slender, and the business advertised inward is
very slender indeed.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, APRIL 5,
Our Cotton Marktt was very languid throughout the entire of this
day, and sales to a small extent.; only were effee.tstl. We have no
change, however, to report in prices since yesterday. 2,500 bags are
quantity sold, 130 Maranham, 81 to lit 120 Egyptian, 9to 101 ;
100 Bahia 8; 300 Surat, 4to 1830 American, 51 to 8;.—
Total, 2,500.

The official tables of the revenue, received to the closo Tof
the year and quarter ended last night, will be found in Detail
in another place. They still present the public receipts for
the periods in question at a serious disadvantage, as com-
pared with those of the corresponding periods of. last year.
The falling off upon the present amounts to '2,332,364/.
Upon the year, and of 492,4201. or nearly .calf a million,
upon the quarter. The decline is observable under almost
all the lit'ads of public income; except that of the Post-
office and re-payments of public money alone. :In the
Customs, the difference between the two financial years is
'against the present to the amount of 1,251,6581. and upon a
comparison of the quarters, 374,835/. The Excise, also, upon
a similar comparison, will be found deficient, upon the year
1,049,5571., and upon the quarter, of 128,5901. The returns
from the stamp duties prove less productive by 209,1141. upon
the year, but have improved upon the last quarter, and exceed
the preceding receipts by 29.732/. The assessed *.axes have
declined by 54,811/. upon the year, and 50,64:3/. upon the
quarter. The Post-office has improved upon the year and
quarter in the sums of 28,743/. and 2,000/. respectively. There
• is under the head of " miscellaneous taxes" a falling off amount-
ing to 15,9781. for the year, and of 493/. for the quarter. The
excess in the returns from repayments of pu'riic moneys
• amounts to 220,011/ , and 30.409!. for the reK.ective periods.
The sum to be raised by Exchequer Bills for the service
of the quarter is calculated at 5,172,428/.--Mori,in9 Herald.
The statement of the Revenue for the year and quarter
ending yesterday will he found in another part of our paper.
It is by no means a gratifying document. Under almost
every head there is a defi.:nency both on the year's and the
quarter's receipts, a Compared with that of the year and
corresponding ;darter of 1837. The Customs are less in the
year by 1,241,6531., and in the quarter by 374.835/. The
Exci,e, has suffered in the year a diminution of 1,019,557/.
in the quarter of 128,5904 lo the stamps there is a small
increase (29,7321.) in the quatter ; but a much more con-
siderable diminution (209:014/.) in the whole year. In the
assessed taxes there is a falling off bush in the year and quar.
ter ; and in the Post-office revenue there is an inconsiderable
increase in each. The aggregate result, including the mis-
cellaneous head and that of the imprest and other moneys, is
—decrease in the year, 2,332,346/. ; decrease in the quarter,
492,420/. The fluctuation of the national income, dis-
couraging as it is, would not excite any considerable alarm if
the nation felt that its financial anirs were under the guidance
of a Minister worthy of its confidence. But the question,
hew Mr. Spring Rice will be able to extricate, the country
from the difficulties incident to a declining revenue is ono

without giving rise to very general feelings of perplexity and
dismay.—Morning Post.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

The Standard of last night devotes nearly two columns to
the subject of Lord Chandos's motion on Tuesday night.
The short answer to the laboured attempt of our Contempo-
rary to prove that the sense of the House of Commons was
feiiriy taken on that motion is, that on the Friday preceding
200 more Members divided on the apprenticeship question.
" The division of Tuesday night was a virtue/ d.deat of Mi-
nisters," quoth the Standard. The assertie,4 is ridiculous.
Both the Ministerial and Opposition sides would have mus-
tered in very different force had it beet' known that there
,iould he a division, and that that divi:ron wonld be deemed a
trial of party strength. One bund:eed and sixty-two, includ.
big tellers, to 160, including tellers, were the numbers. Need
we say more? According to our Contemporary the Tories have
done wonders. " If Lord Durham resolve to go out with the cur-
tailed establishineut he is disgraced; if he maintain the esta-
blishment at his own personal charge lie is ruined." So, to
::void being disgraced or ruined, Lord Durham must stay at
home, and allow a paltry faction to boast that he was weak
enough to withdraw from an arduous duty imposed on him by
his Sovereign, with the approbation of Parliament and the
country, in order to afford them the triumph of having dome
all that they possibly could to retard the settlement t Ca-
nada, and thereby multiply the chances of d renewed
civil war. If Lord Durham be, what he wag uni-
versally allowed to be in the hour of danger, the man
of all others best fitted to compose dir.;crences, and to ar-
range the various conflicling inter AU of our valuable
North American possessions, the success of the Tory
manoeuvre would bo the :Wing disg.ac a of that
party. What a subject fog exultation, to have „ con-
trived matters that a statesman, of the highest reputa-
tion for political integrity and wisdom. should be placed
in the dilemma of either being disgraced or rained if he un-
dertake a great public duty, Verily these Tories, by their own
confession, have stranc.re notions of honour and honesty ! The
private fortune of Lord Durham places him above dependence
on the emoluments of office. lie seeks not to enrich himself
by his public services. What he might do were the exigencies
r,f the country to demand from individuals the sacrifices of
their private fortunes, is a point which we are not called on
to examine. As, however, no such sacrifices are deman-
ded, at present, were Lord Durham to make a pa-
rade of devoting his private fortune to meet expences
necessary to the efficient discharge of an arduous public duty,
whatever the intention, this would justly be deemed an insult
offerel to his country. We ought to be sure that our favours
are acceptable before WC thrust them on others Lord Dur-
ham knows that if his services are deemed important by his
country, that country expects that the means of making them
effective should be placed at his disposal ; and we are quite
certain that be will not undertake the duty without an assur-
ance that he will be enabled to discharge it effectually, and
also that he will spend not one shilling less or more on account
of the paltry attempt of the Marquis of Chaudos and the
spite of Sir Robert Peel.—Morhin, Chronicle.
