IVintringham having stopped his mare at the Stand, a
suspicion was excited that he bad done so for a fraudu-
lent purpose, and on returning to scale he was summoned
before the Stewards. His explanation was clear enough
—his mare was beaten at the distance, and he did not
consider it necessary to persevere with her. This was
corroborated by Prince and Cartwright, and we under-
stand that Wintringham was informed by the Stewards
that he was acquitted. Mr. Green, who had left the
course in ignorance that any charge had been made, was
unacquainted with it till near seven o'clock; considering
that great injustice hi,cl been done both to himself and
his jockey, took the earliest opportunity of demanding a
public inquiry, which it was arranged shall take place
to-morrow.

FRAN CE.

The Moniteur du Soir announces, on the authority
of a letter from Turin, that Charles Albert refuses to
renew the armistice which is to expire on the 21st
inst. It is added that he has at present 102,000
men under arms, and that he will have assembled
150,000 before the expiration of the truce. It is
further asserted that he has given orders to purchase
four steamers to be armed for war.

The Committee of Legislation has examined a pro-
position, made by AL Xavier Durrieu, for depriving
the Executive Government of the faculty of suspend-
ing journals during the state of siege. After hearing
the author of the proposition, it decided, by a majority
of 11 to 8, that it would recommend the previous
question to be moved upon it.
The Central Democratic Committee has, in conse-
quence of the retirement of N. Horace Say, put
forward M. E. Adam, N. Gervais (de Caen), and M.
Roger (du Nord) as its candidates.
M. Louis Blanc has written a letter to the editor
of the Reform*, in which he postively denies that he
has exerted his influence in the clubs, or among his
partisans, on behalf of Prince Louis Napoleon.
The Lieutenant-Colonel and Chefs de Bataillon of
the 4th Legion of the National Guard of the Banlieue
have addressed a letter to the General Commanding-
in-Chief of the National Guards of the Seine, com-
plaining that General Piat, the Colonel of the Legion,
has so described himself in the addresses he has pub-
lished in support of the candidateship of Prince Louis
Napoleon, that he has identified in a manner the
Legion with his proceedings; they protest against. it
being supposed that he is acting with the co-operation
of the Legion.

DEFENCE OF LAMARTINE.
(Continued from 7he Sun of yesterday.)
FOURTH ACCUSATION.
I was an accomplice in the manifestation of the hun•-
dred thousand men on the 17th of March ; I was feeble
and undecided on the 16th of April.
I will now give you a slight narrative of the 17th
of March. Its prircipal characteristic was, that it
was directed against myself. Open the Moniteur and
read the menacing addresses of the leaders of the
insurrectionary clubs; it was against my name that
their harangues were chiefly opposed. Read my reply ;
read the desultory dialogue which ensued, after the
conclusion of this event, between myself and several
of the more moderate men of the manifestation. I
again transcribe (from the published reports) :—" One
of the citizens advanced and said to M. de Lamartine,
Be assured that the people who are assembled yonder
are only assembled to support the members of the
Provisional Government.' M. de Lamartine re-
sponded, lam convinced of that; but the nation
may be deceived as to the fact. Beware of such as-
semblages as these, however beautiful they may ap-
pear. The 18th Brumaire of the people may per-
chance be only productive of the 18th Brumaire of
despotism ; and that result is desired neither by your-
selves nor by the Government.' " Is that, I ask, the
language or the bearing of an accomplice ?
FIFTH ACCUSATION.
I have given evidences of inquietude and indecision;
I neglected to take precautionary measures on the
famous day of the 16th of April.
Upon this subject the public had of itself no
suspicion whatever; but such was the construction
put upon the deposition of an honourable General, a
brilliant but subordinate actor upon that occasion.
Now, examine the whole of this day of the 16th
of April, scrutinize it carefully hour by hour. Each
hour has its elucidation; each circumstance its wit-

ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE.

On the motion of Mr. PARKER, the House, at its

SOLICITOR OF TITHES.

Mr. E. DENISON, seeing the Right Hon. the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer in his place, he wished to ask
him a question with regard to the office of solicitor of
tithes. The office was filled now by a gentleman, who
was very much respected, at a salary of 3,0001. a
Hyar; and the question he wished to ask the Right
on,urable Baronet was, whether any person, who
might in future be appointed to the office, would
be appointed upon the understanding that he would be
subject to any reduction or regulation Parliament might
make in the salary.
The CHANCIELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
he had not the least doubt that his Noble Friend at the
bead of the Government, by whom the appointment
would be made, would take care that the appointment
should be subject to any regulation the proper autho-
rities might make upon the subject.

EXPULSION OF ENGLISH WORKMEN FROM
FRANCE.

Lord DRU-MLANRIG, seeing the Right Hon. the

make any representation to the Provisional Government
of France upon the subject of the English workmen,
who had or might be expelled from France, being allowed
to withdraw any money they might have in the savings'
banks of France ?
Sir GEORGE GREY said no specific representation
had been made by the Government to the Provisional Go-
vernment on the subject, but upon his receiving informa-
tion that a large number of workmen had been obliged
to quit Rouen, many of them having deposits in the
French savings' banks, the English Consul in
France made a representation to the Foreign Minister
of France upon the hardship of the decree which preclud-
ed them from withdrawing more than a certain amount.

AFRICA.

Mr. BAILEY wished O-linow whether the Noble
Lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs had received any
dispatch from Captain Mansell, who was employed upo❑
the coast of Africa, stating that a number of slaves had
been brought down to the coast by the chiefs from the
interior', but that the chiefs, having been prevented from
exporting them by the presence of the British vessel►,
had esused the whole of the slaves to be murdered?

Lord PALMERSTON said that a dis;)atch to that
effect had last year been received by the Government,
and it would no doubt be published among the other
slave-trade papers in the usual manner.
DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITh ROME.

to get into Committee of Supply on Monday.: The
Bill would, however, stand for that day, and if the
business of the House permitted it, would be brought
forward.

" A VOICE FROII EAST PRUSSIA..

" There are turning points in the destinies of nations at
which the resolution of the moment entails a responsi-
bility for centuries to come.
" Such a day of decision has at length dawned on
Prussia ; not only our happiness, but our very existence,
is at stake—our existence as a people, us Prtissians, as
Germans
" When half a century ago the revolution first dis-
torted the west of Europe with its throes, the rulers of
the north advanced to meet the enraged elements, and
from the Ardennes to the banks of the Niemen innume-
rable battle-fields record the disgrace of the German
name. The scorn of nations, we were compelled at
Tilsit to hear our destiny decreed by the voice of the
conqueror, who shared the spoil with our Ally.
" Our victories afterwards obliterated the disgrace of
that defeat. But the burdens of that period still oppress
our landed possessions and our trade; the infamy of the
iniquitous and compulsory war against liberty still ad-
heres, unexpiated, to the German name.
"Can—ought this misery to be renewed?
" Wo look with hope, aid millions with us, to the
wisdom of our Sovereign. The danger of the present
state of things—the necessities of his people—he can,
and assuredly will, recognise. But other voices thee 0-2t7 8
will speak in his ears
"Wo are too well acquainted with that Power which
so willingly interferes between German princes and their
people—whose icy breath freezes life away—whose
triendship entails more embarrassments than even war
itself. Already are Germans, from the Dwina to the
Neva, pining beneath its yoke; our rivers have their
sources in its dominions. Russia has not forgotten that
her eagles once settled upon the pinnacles of liOnigsberg.
The friendship of Russia has ruined our prosperity, and
thirty years ago robbed us of the reward of our vie-

EXPULSION OF ENGLISH WORKMEN FROM
FRANCE.

Lord DRIDILANRIG, seeing the Right Hon. the
Secretary of State for the Home Department in his
place, he wished to ask him if Government had or would
make any representation to the Provisional Government
of France upon the subject of the English workmen,
who had or might be expelled from France, being allowed
to withdraw any money they might have in the savings'
banks of France ?

Sir GEORGE GREY said no speeific representation
had been made by the Government to the Provisional Go-
vernment on the subject, but upon his receiving informa-
tion that a large number of workmen had been obliged
to quit Rouen, many of them having deposits in the
French savings' banks, the English Consul in
France made a representation to the Foreign Minister
of France upon the hardship of the decree which preclud-
ed them from withdrawing more than a certain amount.

SOLICITOR OF TITHES.

Mr. E. DENISON, seeing the Right Hon. the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer in his place, he wished to ask
him a question with regard to the office of solicitor of
tithes. The office was filled now by a gentleman, who
was very much respected, at a salary of a,oot)/. a
year; and the question he wished to ask the Right
Honourable Baronet was, whether any person, who
mi,glat in future be appointed to the office, would
be appointed upon the understanding that he would be
subject to any reduction or regulation Parliament might
make in the salary.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
he had not the least doubt that his Noble Friend at the
head of the Government, by whom the appointment
would be made, would take care that the appointment
should be subject to any regulation the proper autho-
rities might make upon the subject.

known in the sporting world as an extraortlinary pedes-
trian and runner, was placed at the bar before Mr.
Norton, on a charge of being one of the mob who had
plundered the shop of Mr. Gray, the pawnbroker, on
Monday last.
Henry Ilaydon, a servant lad, in the employment of
Mr. llarding, a butcher, in Southampton-street, Cam-
berwell, deposa that he was present on Monday last,
when the shop of Mr. Gray had been broken into by the
mob and plundered of a quantity of property. Tho
prisoner was amongst the mob, and he distinctly saw
him snatch a round paper parcel, which he had no doubt
contained a watch, from a young man who had come
out of Mr. Gray's shop, and run away with it. In reply
to the questions of the magistrate, the witness said ho
know the prisoner before, from seeing him walk a match
at the Rosemary Branch Tavern, and also hawk brushes
and brooms about the streets.
Mr. Games, who attended for the prisoner, assured
the Bench that Ito was convinced the case was one of
mistaken identity, and witnesses were produced to prove
that the prisoner was elsewhere at the time of the
riotous proceedings in question. He was, however, re-
manded to a future day.

LONDON, SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 1848.

The discussion on the great question of the in-
come-tax engrossed the attention of the House of
Commons last night, and the debate has been again
adjourned until Monday. It is by no means sur-
prising that the several Members should be anxious
to explain their views on a topic of the most vital
importance to the community in general, and on
which the public feeling is so much excited at the
present moment. The point now before the House
for its decision is, nominally, whether the tax is to be
continued in its present form for one or three years ;
but the real issue, is, whether it shall be equitably
and fairly adjusted, so as to press with an equal
weight upon the various classes of contributors, or
whether the iniquitous and inquisitorial system shall
be perpetuated with all its defects and enormities.
The country is not opposed to the principle of direct
taxation. Perhaps it is the most expedient mode of
levying the whole or the greater portion of the na-
fional income, as it is undoubtedly the most equit-
able. A larger proportion of the sums extracted from
the pockets of the people will find its way into the
Exchequer than from any other source of revenue.
The consumers, upon whom the whole amount of any
species of indirect taxation must ultimately fall, do
not merely pay the five-and.a.half per cent. which the
collection of the Custom duties cost, in addition to the
nett proceeds carried to the credit of the country, or
the six-and-a-quarter per cent. for the collection of the
Excise, but also a profit varying from ten to twenty
per cent. which every person dealing in such articles
expects to make on the amount of his outlay, and,
as it may fairly be assumed, that every article passes
through at least four or five hands from the time of
its being imported or manufactured before it is
consumed, it is not too much to say that fifty per
cent. is paid by the people more than is applicable
to public purposes. There—is no such addition to
direct taxation—the only deduction is the three-and-
a-half per cent. fur the collection, which amount
would be materially diminished if a larger amount
were levied, as the same machinery would answer
that is now required for the collection of the
smaller sum. The thirty millions now obtained under
the heads of Custbras and Excisd practically cost the

ELECTION COMMITTEES.
(THIS DAY.)

AYLESBURY.

The Select Committee appointed to try the merits of
the petitio❑ presented against the return of Mr. Deering
for Aylesbury met for the first time this afternoon, at
one o'cl,ek; Mr. Palmer in the chair.
Mr. Alexander, with whom was Mr. Cooke, appeared
for the petitioners, and Mr. Hill, Mr. Horace Twiss, and
Mr. James for the sitting Member.
Mr. H. Twiss took a preliminary objection to the
locus standi of the petitioner, which occupied the atten-
tion of the Committee the whole of the sitting.
The petitioner, Mr. Acton Tindal, the solicitor, of
Aylesbury, and nephew of the late Chief Justice Tindal,
claimed the right to vote as a freeman of the borough,
but the Learned Counsel contended that, as Mr. Tindal
was not of age at the time of the passing of the Reform
Bill, he was not entitled to the right, and therefore the
petition ought to be dismissed.
The Committee adjourned their decision on this point
till Monday,
