EVENIN(-; EDITION

TO THE RIGHT HON. THE CHAN-
CELLOR. OF THE EXCHEQETER.
S>•a—Doubtless, your preent paramount object is, to bring
the reve u• of the country to be at lc ast equal to its expen-

diture.
By doing a simple act cf justice this desirable object may le
01, a;le 1.
is is merely to make real estate subject to probate and legacy
duty, by which Means the necessity for imposing fresh burdens
upon the middle classes and manufacturing population will be
obviated, exclusive:la-the popularity of the measure; and al-
though you may have to encounter opposition from the landed
interest, this will probably be evercorne by the apparent
equity of the measure, and by the strong popular feeling in its
favour.
From what has lately fallen from Sir Robert Peel's lips, it
as not at all unlikely that be will give his support to the pro-

position.
I have the honour to be, Sir, your very humble servant, and
A REAL FRIEND TO THE ADMINISTRATION.

SPAIN.
MADRID, APRIL l7.—The Chamber of Deputies nam. d its
Committee yesterday for the purpose of reporting on the bases
adopted by the Senate for the election of the Regency. This
Committee consists of Me2srs. Joaquirn Maria Lopez (pre:i-
dent, Juan Bautista Alonso, Miguel Ayllnn, Eugenio Diez,
Gil Sauz, Puente Andre:, and Louis Gonzales Bravo. all of
whom are decided trinitarianc, and who will molt probably draw
up a body f regulations by no means in harmony with those
adopted by the Senate.
The great piety with which the Queen and her Royal sister
have performed the divers acts of devotion between Palm Sun-
day and Easter Sunday has been generally remarked. The
most touching part of the divers ceremonies performed by her
Majesty was the pardon granted according to custom on Good
Friday to fur persons under sentence of dea•h. Al. I'osada•.
formerly Bishop of Carthagena and Archbishop elect of Valencia,
lore a relic, while his coadjutor carried a banner, on which
were inscribed the names of the four men with the sentences
awarded against them. surmounted with black crape. This
mournful aspect announced the approaching end of the culprits,
unless some angel of mercy came to their assistance. Al. Po-
sadas, accompanied by his suite, having entered the pew in
which her Majesty was praying, and having given her the
holy relic to kiss, said ti her " Does your Majesty deign to
pardon these sentenced men?" Isabella, stretching out her
hand on the banner still surmounted with crape, replied with a
loud voice, " I pardon them, and trust that God will pardon
me likewise." Those present were much moved by the affect-
ing scene.
The Bourse has been pretty bri.k : our Five per Cents hive
bcen done at 26 5-16 cash, and at 27 at 60 days.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
N EWMARKET—SuNna-v NIGHT.
We have bad a doll day—showery and windy—and but few
indications of an attendance of fashionable company; indeed,
until the close of the afternoon, the arrivals were so few and
far between that no visib:e effect was produced upon tte' every
day aspect of the torn. A Urge influx of visitors, however, is
expected—extensive preparations, as per order, having been
made. About a dozen mustered before " the Rooms" at four
o'clock, but not a single bet was made, and the party adjourned

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
(E11.1:11 A CORRESPONDENT.)
Ust night an accident took place in Paternoster-row, by
vh;fth a poor cabman will in al probability lose his life. A
ealibAriven at a furious rate, after turning from Ave Maria
lace ~into Paternoster-row, was seen to stop suddenly, and the
horse' tailing, the cabman was thrown off his seat, and falling
on his hea4l it was found he Irad fractured his skull; he was
immediately taken to the Lospital without any hope of his re-
covery ; it Wis said the poor man had a wife and four childrin
The horse on getting on his legs was found to be very lame,
and on examining his feet, three nails which were attached to
a piece of wood,' were sticking in his font. It appears that of
.late the call divers have Lund their way througo Paternoster-
sew, it being a few yar.is nearer than going round St. Paul's
(Cburch-yard, by Which the', inhabitants of Paternoster-row
2a44 Ave Maria-lane are annoyed from 9at night till 2or 3
o'clock in the morning, and this is supposed to be the mears
adopted hy inhabilant: to get rid of the nuisance. Two

;MONEY MARKET, CITY, SATURDAY EVEN-

furth sr depression. Money was not so plentiful as it had
been I.lr a long time past, and the " bear' party were so ie-
Terely punished on tho last account as to.be probably deterred,

two or thick, 14;At 1/ost days has been such as to diminish ma-
terially tlike`ipitlation of an immediate and liberal exten-

no doubf,"'to bk.' by Oda- time a good supply of continen-
tal paper in 'f,:te hill market; yet no supply exists at

importation of oats will take place to the amount
.of at least. half a ttiilterling, and it is more than likely that
tatrie large orderahave ben s,nt out to the northern ports for
