think it may be made to produce some popular excitement
in their favour, and they know it will not be carried.
What can be more disgustinc, than such trickery and such
stratagem ? Is it not enough' to cause every gentleman who
has hitherto supported them to go into opposition, or at
all events, to refrain from any longer giving his support
to the Melbourne and Russell Administration. We are happy
to have it in our power to state that several gentlemen who
have hitherto supported Government, have since Saturday in-
timated no little disgust, and a determination not to support the
resolutions of which the stupid Chancellor of the Exchequer
has given notice. We therefore feel the utmost confidence
that Ministers will be beaten upon the Budget question. Pro-
bably they have reckoned up ni this, and then expect ;to go to
the country under the favourable circumstances of an Anti-
Corn-law excitement. But the public will not be thus de-
ceived. The public will look upon them as a set of beaten
tricksters, who have shown themselves to be destitute of sin-
cerity, and are therefore totally unworthy of trust.
GLOBE.—The Lords have supplied the Tory-
Chartist league with a new watchword. " Walter, No
Bashaws, no Universal Suffrage," will now be
joined with " Winchelsea, and No Bread Tax !"
" If," said that noble Anti-Corn-law champion, " a
tax was to be laid on that article which was the main
subsistence of the labouring classes of the country, in
God's name let them all rise as one man, in that House—
(Laughter)—and out of that House, and let the higher
classes do their duty by the lower classes. Let a tax be
laid on anything else ; but, in God's name, let them
not suffer a tax to be laid upon the poor man's food !"
If, say we, the Anti-Corn-law League do not elect Lord
Winchilsea an honorary member of their association
for total repeal of the Cortelaws, they will show
little policy, or gratitude for his powerful support.
This is the way to East-Retfordise the Corn-laws.
No medium musr be tolerated. Everything or nothing ;
defies for prohibition, or none at all! There are many
who would take Lord Winchelsea at his word. We are
not of the number. We are not prepared to go the whole
hog with the Noble Earl ; and to aid him in agitating
the country with the alluring accents of " No bread tax."
Lord Ripon had expressed the same sentiments in
reply to Lord Melbourne. "It was taking up," he
said, " quite a new ground to tax corn for revenue
—(Hear, hear)—and this would be doing that to which
he would venture to say no country in the world ever
submitted, and which he would also venture to say-would
be, without exception, the most unpopular and most un-
justifiable, and most cruel act that was ever imposed on a
reluctant Parliament." Lord Melbourne said he was not
prepared to answer the question, how far the proposed
change would be founded on the principle of "protection,"
or how far it was to be considered as a measure of taxa-
tion. It appears to us that the question need have
hardly been asked, and that, if it had been worth while
to forestall the discussion by answering it, the Noble
Viscount might have done so with no less facility than
he answered the cavils at the part lie had taken on
former occasions. The state of the revenue compels
Government to take a new survey of the field of taxa-
tion, in order to decide whether new taxes must
be imposed, or whether a better adjustment of
existing burthens would meet the emergency.
it is therefore true that the wants of the
revenue are the occasion which suggests the adoption of
new measures of financial and commercial economy.
It does not follow that those measures are adopted
merely as financial expedients. They are the measures
which the Ministerial leaders in the House of Com-
mons, their most distinguished friends, and their
most energetic supporters, have always advocated on
their own moils, independent of financial exigencies.
But, when it so happens that financial exigencies force
some new ate isures on adoption, surely it is an idle
objection to those now proposed, that they will serve
a twofold purpose,—supply the State's wants, as
well as the people's. Indeed, this is a new and
irresistible argument in their favour. They are
not mere measures of finance ; but—view them
merely as such—you must either adopt some such
measures, or vote new taxes. It is the irritating
sense of this alternative that Cictates these taunts.
STANDARD.—Within the last three months
there have been four contested elections, Canter-
bury, Walsall, Nottingham, and St. ANan's. At
three of the four the Anti-Corn-law candidate
has been signally defeated, and at the fourth,
St. Alban's, the Corn question we believe was
not raised—for the seat was bought by the foulest
corruption, and the purchaser did not think it ne-
cessary, perhaps in an agricultural village, and St
Alban's is no more, prudent, to raise it. At Walsall,
however, the question was tried with every possible
advantage to those who would contend that the people
are anxious for a change. The borough is an exclu-
sively manufacturing borough ; the Anti-corn-law
League openly nominated their candidate ; amply sup-
plied with money by the mill-owners and the money-
owners, they employed the grossest and most lavish
bribery, and mustering all their rabble from six or seven
counties they availed themselves of violence and intimi-
dation to an extent which threw the place of election into
a condition little, if at all, removed from downright
anarchy. Notwithstanding this, and the aid of the
Government given without conscientious scruple or
prudent reserve, the candidate of the Anti-Corn-law
League was shamefully beaten by, a gentlemen who
took his stand upon the existing law, and who has
the distinguished honour to be the son of
the most powerful of all the defenders of the j
agricul ore of the country, though himself a mercha'st,
holding a high, if not indeed the highest, place among
the princely merchants of the world. The election at
Walsall alone would demonstrate that Lord Melbourne's
views upon the Corn-laws cannot have been effected by
any pressure from without, of which the change of
these laws is the object. But Walsall, Canterbury,
and Nottingham, taken together reader the demon-
stration irresistible. Where else then are we to look
for the " circumstances," necessities, and crisis, if
not in the state of the revenue, or in the state of
public feeling ? In the state of our foreign rela-
tions ? Why, the whole of the scheme is based
upon an hypothesis of continued European peace.
The first cannon-shot fired in Europe would dissipate
all its provisions. But is continued European peace
more probable than it was ? or are the present circum-
stances of Europe inch as to recommend that England
should throw herself into a condition of absolute de-
pendence upon the Continent even for daily bread ?
No ; " the circumstances, the necessities, and the
" crisis," are " the circumstances, the necessities, and
" the crisis," of a defeated, a despised, and a detested
Ministry, and of their odious Poor-law. It is their
miserable exigency which suggests to convulse the
country from end to end—it is to save the Poor-law
Ministers, and the Pcor-law Commissioners, and the
hateful law itself, that the people are invited to agitate ;
but the people will not answer the call.
COURIER.--According to the Premier, the re-
peal or alteration of the Corn. laws is rendered necessary
by certain wide and extensive financial measures" in con-
templation, the nature of which may be guessed rather
than gathered from the budget display in the one House
and last evening's exhibition in the other. And thus is
that rendered opportune and advisable now,which twelve
months since only was pregnant with dangers so terrific,
according to the Noble Lord's own showing. Toe jus-
tification attempted is not the most intelligible, nor the
" time " and " circumstances " which have led to the
change of (policy and opinion the most accurately de-
fined. His Lordship briefly observes that " these cir-
cumstances had arisen, that time, in his opinion, had
now come, when it was found necessary, in order to
meet the exigencies of the country. to adopt wide and
extensive financial measures—measures which affected
every other interest in the country—when, he
owned, it appeared impossible to him to leave that,
the master grievance (so we understood) untouched."
If it be true that large alterations or reductions in the
general tariff are to be effected, and that at the close of
all, with Corn-laws repealed, a Property and Income
Tax is to be levied upon the capital and industry
of the country, the fiscal and financial dealing
will surely make extensive havoc among all
interests and alt classes. With Corn-laws repealei
to begin with, a property tax on the heels of it will
be like burning the candle at both ends. Yet such is
the fate with which the nation is threatened, and such
the consummation of ten years of so called reform, re-
trenchment, and non-intervention. We have no fear
that the working classes will be imposed upon to any
mischievous extent by the stale cries and pretences of
the Anti-Corn-law League against the Coro-laws. As-
suming that low-priced bread was the result of
Corn-law repeal, at least in the first instance,
none know better than the workmen that low-
priced bread must lead to lower wages, and that wages
would decline, or be forced down, at a much more
accelerated rate than bread stuffs. Tine immediate
consequence of the withdrawal of protection from agri-
culture must be to throw one half the land at least out
of tillage, and with the land, the labourers dependent on
the land, some four or five hundred thousand in number.
Let the manufacturing operatives and mechanics ask
themselves how is this mass of redundant labour to be
absorbed ?where is this vast aggregation of unem-
ployed hands to be distributed?—how are the hunger-
ing myriads to be fed ? If thrown upon the cotton ma-
nufacture, they beat down wages, as the more skilled
workmen can only thus be supplanted by the unskille 1
in the race of competition. The master manufacturer
may rejoice over wages ever declining and profits pro•
tionally rising, but so will not the patriot and philosopher

FEROCITY OF A CA T.- 11 the night
of
Friday last a female named Phillips. residing at No. 67, Kincr-
street, Golden-square, who had for some time had a favourite
cat in her possession, retired to rest at her usual time, but had
not been long in bed before she heard her favourite quarrel-
ling with the cat of a neighbour. She rose, and throw inn a
basin of water over them, succeeded in separating them, and
taking her cat up into her room. She then again went to
bed, and could not have been above five minutes asleep before
she was suddenly awoke by an acute sense of pain, when she
found that the cat had made an attack on her, and bitten a
Pioce out of her cheek, besides having dreadfully lacerated her
face with its claws, and was then fixed on her left arm, a
piece out of which it had also bitten. The screams of the
woman brought prompt assistance, by whwii the ferocious ani-
mal was killed, but Mrs. Phillips still continues suffering from
the injuries she has received, and the effects of the alarm the
attack occasioned.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS;
PROM THE MQRYING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
CHRONICLE—We have advocated the necessity of go-
verning the eirculati.on by the Foreign Exchanges, and pointed
out past error by which a drain of bullion was attempted to be
pointed out 0 jai; the
stopped by an expansion of paper money. We have also
prohibitory duties exacted by our fiscal
laws on the, importation of foreign products, more especially on
corn and timber, had compelled the inlyibitants of the Conti-
nent to become manufacturers in self-defence. The result is,
that our export trade of manufactured goods has seriously dimi-
P_lshed, and the Directors of the Bank of England have been
kept in a constant fever of apprehension at the prospect of the
weekly report on Exchange days. One of their chief duties
has been to study atmospheric phenomena, in a vain effort to
gather foreknowledge of the seasons, and to be able to form
early conjectures as to the character of each approaching sea-
son. This state of things has been attended with frequent
panics in the Money Market, and commercial vicissitudes pro-
duced from a consequent change in prices. But the policy of
the Government, as now told fairly to the country, will speedily
relieve the Bank of England from this cause of alarm. The
month of June will no longer be a month of fear with the
Bank Directors, for the balance of trade from the vast impulse
given to our exports will keep the exchanges in our favour,
and the bullion will flow back to the Bank coffers. England
will open an account on a wide scale. She will deal with all
the earth, and will buy and sell freely with all nations.
It is in vain for the Tories to say that other countries will
not reciprocate with us when we open our ports to their pro-
duce. Take the case of Prussia so far back as 1825. The
Prussian Government, through Baron Maltzahn, proposed
to conclude a treaty of reciprocity with this country for
eighteen years, on condition that the British Government
would allow the importation of Prussian corn, subject to such
duties only as should not exclude the possibility of carrying
on that trade with a reasonable profit, and that greater
facilities should be allowed for the importation of
Prussian timber into British ports. That offer of reciprocity
was met by a direct and positive refusal from the British Go-
vernment; yet the Prussian Government, in 1836 and 1839,
still expressed their willingness to negotiate for the same pur-
pose. This point is placed beyond cavil or conjecture. The
papers laid on the table of Parliament prove the fact that
Prussia has repeatedly offered to negotiate on the principle of
taking our manufactures on a moderate ad valorem duty, pro-
vided we would receive her corn and timber on reasonable
terms, and that this offer was negatived by Great Britain—
yet Prussia still expresses her readiness to negotiate for
the same object, anti now the free trade policy adopted by the
Government says we will meet you in the same spirit. The
lowering of our tariff will open the whole Prussian commercial
union, with a population of twenty-six millions, as a market for
our manufactures. Dr. Bowring remarks, " The tendency of
our commercial legislation since 1825 has no doubt been towards
free trade, and in the extension of our relations with the world
we find the justification and the reward of our policy ; but I
venture to suggest that the time has now arrived in which
the state of intercourse with foreign nations demands a
general revision and lowering of our tariff, and that such re-
vision would be much facilitated by the existing friendly dis-
position on the part of several of the European Governments."
The importation of timber to the United Kingdom from the
different German States exhibits a yearly decline of duty
from 1829 to 1838, notwithsanding the growth of our popu-
lation, The average for the years 1829 to 1833 is 430,455/.

count have given way i per cent. on the closing quotations of

HERALD.—The gloomy exposition of the financial con-
' cerns of the country conveyed in the budget of the Chancellor
of the Exchequer, is operating its natural effects upon the
funds, the rates of which are on the decline. Commer-
cial operations appear to be as much unhinged by the
loose propositions of changes in duties on sugar and timber,
with the probability of other changes also, as stocks. Busi-
ness has been extremely dull and unsatisfactory both in
Mark-lane and Mincing-lane. It may be safely asserted
that there never was a period when mercantile men were
so much at fault how to shape their course as now, not from the
common casualties and fluctuations occurring from some un-
sual disturbance in trade arising out of causes which at inter-
vals effect revolutions to a certain degree in commercial affairs,
but from the announcement of extensive alterations in tilt
fiscal system to be shortly enacted, with others of a
sweeping character still well understood to be in pros-

POST

iSl.—Money was particularly scarce to-day. Loans
upon the deposit of Englis`,l stock could not be procured at less
than 5 per cent. intere,-A, and the tran=actions were conducted
altogether with the view, as they were generally intepreted, to
a change in the Administration, and an early dissolution of
Parliament, on which points numerous reports are in circu-
lation.
In the American papers brought by the Acadia steam-ship
from Boston and Halifax. are two long letters by Mr. N. Bid-
dle, on the affairs of the United States Bank. Sir, Riddle en-
deavours to extricate himself from the charges brought against
him by the Committee who have been lately sitting in judg-
ment upon his conduct, as former President of the institution, in
. common with that of others. His defence is considered more
ingenious than conclusive. The object is to prove that the mis-
fortunes of the Bank have their origin in a period posterior to
that in which he was the principal manager. The corrupt
practices so fatal to its credit have, however, certainly been
going on from the year 1835, and Mr. Biddle withdrew, we
think; only in 1838 or 1839.
