First Lord of the Treasury, the necessity
of preparing ours'-lves for the awful deficit
ited at the termination of the next financial
year, by submitting to some noel taxation beyond
that',.iready sail..:led upon the people. Something must
be du.,e. There is no mistake whatever about that.
Money must be accumulated by some method (no
matter how disagreeable), and money, moreover, to
the amount of some 2,500,0001. Any return to the
old system of imposts formerly established at the
Custom-house is a thing not to be dreamed—a thing
as feasible as the veriest extravagance re-
corded in the literature of .the nurseries. As Mr.
COBDEN said on Friday night—" Talk of /restoring
Protection ! You might as well think of enthroning
the STUARTS again ! You might as well talk of
restoring the year 1846 to the calendar as of restoring
Protection !" There is no braggadocio in all this ;it
is as simple and undeniable a statement as the old
bantering snatch from the memorabilia of the last
century—" Queen Anne's dead." Any resource,
therefore, from the revival of duties upon our im-
portations and exportations is hopeless—altogether
hopeless—a dream, an illusion, a chimera. The
2,500,0001. must be obtained by some more practicable
and ingenious device. Here, however, the principal
financial physicians of the empire are marvellously
divided in opinion. Lord JouN RUSSELL says—
Increase the per centage upon all incomes indiscri-
minately, from 7d. to ls. in every sovereign, from 31.
to .5/. out of every 100/., from three per cent. to five
per cent., three per cent. being permanent, according
to the confession of the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
and two per cent. being proposed for merely two
years by way of an extraordinary impost. In a very
different mood, upon a very different principle, and
with a very different determination, the Ho-
nourable Gentleman the Member for the
West Riding of Yorkshire advocates the
prevention of a deficiency by the diminution of our
expenditure, and the diminution of our expenditure
by the gradual disbandment of our military and
maritime armaments. Both these projects we
cannot but regard as most erroneous—the first as
being only fitted for the early ages of Christianity,
when there was literally a community of goods among
the followers of the Crucifie3, and the second
as being solely adapted to the golden tran-
quillity of the Millennium. Even as a war-tax—im-
posed merely for three or four years, as the case may
be—the tax, as at present levied upon incomes, is the
most irksome that can well be imagined, and not
only the most irksome, but the most iniquitous and
tyrannical. Now, however, that it is for the first
time in the annals of English history declared to be
among the established forms of taxation in the king-
dom, it becomes in a peculiar manner odious and
intolerable—so odious and intolerable, in short, that
we are satisfied the community will never sub-
mit to the gigantic injustice of the deci-
sion. The public must perforce recognise
in the proposal a very transparent and heinous
ruse on the part of the aristocracy—a ruse by which
they are, doubtless, sanguine of redeeming to them-
selves the ground lost by the abolition of the corn-
laws. Unable to tax the industry of the country
though the different articles of consumption imported
or exported from Great Britain, they appear deter-
mined (if possible l—a contingency which we think
marvellously improbable) to do so through a perma-
nent income-tax, the per centage of which will
be levied with the same force upon the
clerk, the shopkeeper, or the artizan, who
earns his pittance by the severest toil and the
most assiduous application, as upon the millionaire,
whose brows are garlanded with the leaves of the
strawberry, and whose profusion is at once the
perquisite of sloth and the splendid result of ances-
tral cupidity. Whether this insidious project be de-
stroyed this day or to-morrow its ultimate dissipation
is inevitable, for the people have gained rather too
terrible an experience to be once more gulled by a
financial juggle, or bamboozled by an unprincipled
oligarchy. The only matter of doubt to
ourselves is the substitute which may be best chosen
for an income-tax, which we are satisfied must bf•
discarded as unjust and despotic. Any diminution of
our naval or military forces (we say this with all
possible respect for the opinions of Mr. COBDEN) is
at this moment impossible. The only alternative
appears to us to be either the organization of a per-
manent tax upon property, or a very considerable
diminution of our civil establishments. Parliament
will have to resolve this momentous problem, and
in so doing let our legislators hearken to the Delphic
oracle of Christianity—Reason.

Additional news has just arrived from India by ex-
traordinary express in anticipation of the usual mails
overland ; and without containing intelligence of any
very momentous import our dispatches are sufficiently
interesting. Lord DALIIOUSIE was expected to reach
Calcutta towards the middle of January, and on the
16th ultimo Lord ITARDINGE was preparing to take
his departure homewards in company with
the Marquis of TWEEDDALE. Tranquillity and
prosperity prevailed throughout the British
possessions in Ilindostan, at the very mo-
ment when the character of the Government
was about to be changed. A new era was beginning
to dawn upon our Oriental empire, and that, more-
over, under the most auspicious circumstances.
Among 'the minor passages of information con-
veyed to us from India, the most remarkable are the
final distribution of the Sinde prize money, and the
capture of the celebrated Claude Duval of the
Ghauts, RAGCJEE BANGRIA. Upon the former
particular it is worthy of notice that although
the amount of cash which is about to be
meted out proportionately to the conquering army of
Sinde is estimated at no less than 437,8831., the sum
claimed by Sir CHARLES NAPIER is not more than
27,367/. ; the Colonels and Superintending Surgeons
present at both Meanee and Hyderabad receiving
each 6,0001.; 'Majors, 5,000/.; Captains, Surgeons,
and Regimental Paymasters, 2,0001.; Assistant•
Surgeons and Subalterns, 1,0001. In reference to the
seizure of the notorious RAGOJEE BANGRIA, it ap-
pears that he was captured by Lieutenant Gum.,
Adjutant of the Ghaut Light Infantry ; that officer
having disguised himself and his soldiers in the garb
of peasants, and tracked the robber-chief to Punder-
pore, where he was caught while refreshing his
limbs in a bath. There is more likelihood, therefore,
in this quarter of domestic tranquillity, now that the
arch instigator of the local disturbances is in confine-
ment in the gaol of Taunah.
In the dominions of the Nizam there still remain
all the causes of anxiety which have been rife so long
in his metropolis. To the calamities of primary
involvement have beeen added the miseries of
fanatical outbreak. Two Mahometan sects, the
one (the Sheeah) headed by KOTWAL, the other
(the Soonee), headed by the Nizam himself, have
proceeded from polemical disputes to butchery, and
instead of inundating the tables of the citizens (like
our disputants of Exeter Hall) with tracts and ser-
mons, have been striving to deluge the streets with
blood. Such is the rage of religion in nations not
moderated by civilization.

Of all the intelligence received in our dispatches
from Hindostan the most important and striking to
our mind is that conveyed from the extremities of
Affghanistan. So furious have become the feuds
between old Dosr MOUAMMED and his sons,
and so much does the former consider himself
to be in peril from the avarice or ambition of his own
offspring., that he seems to have resolved upon de-
scending into the plains of India, and beseeching
shelter and prote!ian from the British authorites tt
reshawur. He will be accompanied in this expedi
tion of dread by the mother of the late Wuzeer.
These are among the most singular facts recounted
in the papers recently arrived from Bombay, and
while they reveal a deplorable amount of insecurity
among adjacent states, they display the inherent
strength of the Anglo•lndian Government in the
sober and orderly condition of the populace in those
portii)tis of Hindostan which are either obedient to our
author ity or defended by our arms.

Accounts from Rome, of the 11th, state that the
greatest excitement prevailed in that city. The
POPE, i,t is said, refuses to grant certain concessions
demamded by the people, but has promised to change
his Mi.listry.

The Yeapolitan official journal of the 11th pub-
lishes the text of the new constitution. Negotiations
were goir‘g on between the Junta of Palermo and
the Neakolitan Government; and in the meantime

hostilities had been suspended all over the Island.
They ceased at Messina on the 7th.

After a debate of two d:l:,s the Swiss Diet bad
adopted unanimously (with the exception of two
cantons, Neufchatel and Appernell) the answer to
the collective note of the three powers, proposed by
the committee.

Madrid papers of the 14th have arrived. Their
contents are uninteresting.

According to the Constitutionnel the Deputies of
the Opposition met on Saturday to deliberate on the
course which should be adopted with regard to the
approaching manifestation of the electors of the 12th
arrondissement, in favour of Reform. After having
heard the report of the committee, they determined
unanimously, that it had become more than ever neces-
sary to protest, by some great act of legal resistance,
against the measures adopted by the Ministry, which
were as contrary to the principles of the Constitution
as they were to the text of the laws, and they come-
quently resolved, that they would proceed in a body
to the Reform Banquet on Tuesday. Eighty Deputies
and three Peers of France (the Duke DE HARCOURT,
the Marquis DC BOISSY, and Count ALTON SHEE)
have accepted invitations to the banquet ; as have M.
DE CORMENIN (TIMON), General LE YDEL, and
several former Members of the Chamber of Deputies.
The procession of the Peers and Deputies will start
from the Madeleine. Only 1,500 invitations have
been issued for the banquet by the committee. It i 3
said, that the Ministry has ascertained that the
opinion of M. HEBERT, on the subject of the ille-
gality of the banquet, will not be sustained by the
Court of Cassation.

At Rouen, Lyon•, and Angers, addresses have
been voted to the Deputies of the Opposition, approv-
ing of their conduct.

AMERICAN NEWS.

LIVERPOOL, FEB. 20.

The packet ship Montezuma, Lowber, arrived at
midnight from New York, with advices thence to the
Ist inst., inclusive.

The Wyoming, Miercken, which left Philadelphia
on the 29,h ult., also arrived in the Mersey yesterday.
The advices by these arrivals are not important,
and tend rather to confirm the intelligence brought
by the previous steamer than to add new materials.

In reference to the announced treaty of peace with
Mexico, the New York Herald says—
" We have received authentic and special intelligence
from Washington, embracing most positive information
that a treaty has absolutely been negotiated between
Mr. Trist, the Commissioner of the United States, and
the three negotiators of the Mexican Government; and
furthermore, that, at the last accounts, this treaty only
wanted the concurrence of the Mexican Congress, which
it was almost sure to get, before it was to be transmitted
to the United States. Of the general fact of a treaty,
in this form and condition, there can be no doubt ; but
the negotiation is combined and coupled with a number
of very curious particulars, which will have a great and
important influence on its progress to mutual ratification
by the Governments of the two countries."
The Herald adds, that General Scott was incited
by the Clay party to conclude a treaty in opposition
to the wishes of the American Executive.

From Texas intelligence had been received an-
nouncing that a war had broken out in that state be-
tween the Delaware and Camanche Indians, which
was waging to such an extent that it was feared it
would lead to a general war among all the Indian
tribes of both Texas and Mexico. In fight between
the two above-named tribes the Delawares were de-
feated with the loss of 25 of their warriors. Other
accounts of skirmishes between the whites and Ca•
rnanches, caused by depredations of the latter against
the former, are also given.
The alleged cause of the war was an incursion of
the Delawares upon the hunting grounds of the
Camanches, and also favouring the whites in the war
between the Indian tribes and Texas.

The proceedings of the United States' Congress
since the date of the Cambric's accounts had not been
marked by any decisive action or new feature.

A very large meeting of citizens favourable to
General Taylor for the Presidency was held at New
Orleans on the evening of the 23d. The meeting
was very crowded and very enthusiastic.
The Boston papers announce the stoppage of
Messrs. Robeson and Co., extensive calico printers
and cotton manufacturers, of Full River.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
(From the New York Herald.)
NEW YORK, JAN. 31.—The steamer Acadia being
about due at Boston with some two weeks' later intelli
Bence, caused the market for breadstuffs to continue in a
languid state. Sales of flour were limited, without
change in prices worthy of note, since Saturday. Wheat
continued quiet without change in prices. The market
for corn was heavy, with a fair amount of sales, but on
terms slightly in favour of buyers, compared with last
week's rates. Sales of meal were made at rates current
last week, and rye continued inactive. In oats the
chief sales were confined to southern, on terms stated
below. There was no change in Canal. Provisions were
dull, and sales of pork could not be effected at the cur-
rent rates of last week. Lard was somewhat less firm,
with moderate sales. There was no material change to
notice in the prices of butter and cheese. In groceries
transactions were moderate, without any material change
in quotations.

Ashes—Moderate sales were reported of pots at 6
dolls., and of pearls at 7 dolls. 75c.
Breadstuffs.—Flour—The sales looted up about 3,000
barrels, including about 1,000 this State and Western, at
6 dolls. to 6 dolls. 6i c.; and about 1,500 ditto New Or-
leans, 1,000 of which sold on private terms, and the re-
mainder at 5 dolls. 75c. to 5 dolls. 87ic.; 1,000 barrels
Genessee sold, deliverable in March, at 6 dolls. 6ic.; and
1,000 ditto, deliverable in May, at 5 dolls. 871 c. Wheat
—Genessee and Western continued quiet, and prices
remained nominally the same. Sales of 300 sacks were
reported at 1 doll. 12ic. per bushel. Corn—The sales
footed up 14,000 or 15,000 bushels, in separate parcels,
among which were 4,800 bushels of good Southern white
at 68c.; 2,000 ditto, old mixed, at 641 c.; and 3,000
North Carolina white, common, at 65c. The market
closed rather heavy, and at a decline of about lc. to 2c.
per bushel compared with last week's prices. Meal—
Sales of 600 barrels were reported of New Jersey, at
3 dolls. I*. delivered; and 500 ditto to arrive in April,
at 3 dolls. 12c. Rye was inactive at 88e. to 90e. Oats
—Sales of 2,600 bushels of Southern were made at 45e.,
while Canal continued to sell at about 58c. Beans—
Sales of 80 barrels were made at 1 doll. 12ic. to 1
doll. 25c.

Cotton—The market was steady.
Freights—Rates were very dull, and we only heard
of about 1,000 barrels meal taken for Liverpool at
ls. 6d. Rates stood at about 61d. for grain. To
Glasgow some engagements were made on private
terms. To London rates remained nominally the same;
while to Havre and the continent, they continued quite
dull.

NEW ORLEANS, JAN. 25.—We note sales of sugar, of
fair quality, at 3.1 c. to 4c. There is no change in
molasses. Flour is quiet. Large shipments of cotton
and corn are making for Liverpool. Exchange is dull.
BALTIMORE, JAN. 31.—Flour—The market continued
very dull, and sales limited. Among the small lots dis-
posed of were included about 500 barrels of Howard-
street, at 5 dolls. 874 c.
City mills were quiet at 6 dolls.
Whcat—Sales of 5,000 bushels were made, including
Maryland reds at 1 dull. 30c., and Maryland white, ditto,
at 1 dell. 371 c.
Corn—We notice sales of 5,000 bushels, including.
Maryland white and mixed, at 54c., and yellow ditto at
61c.

In meal there was no change.
Provisions were dull and drooping.
Whisky continued quiet at 26c.
BOSTON, JAN. 31.—Flour—The market was dull,
though without material change in prices. We note sales
of 600 barrels Genessee, Oswego, Michigan, &c., at 6
dolls. 37ic. to 6 d 50c.
Corn—Sales of 5,000 bushels were made, including
Western mixed, at 67c. to 68.!. The tendency of prices
was downwards.

Oats—Sales of 4,000 bushels were mado at 50e.
Rye—The market was heavy, and we have only to
notice a small sale of 300 or 400 bushels at 90c.
Provisions remained inactive.
,
reights—No change.

THE BUDGET.—We have given in another place
the whole of Lord John Russell's financial statement, re-
ceived by express ; we are thus early enabled to lay the
important information before our readers by the courtesy
of the parties in The Sun office, who gave the messenger
we had in waiting the first number of their Fourth Edi-
tion.—Bristol Journal.

TITE BUDGET,.—LEEDS, SATURDAY EVENING.--
The following acknowledgment appeared in a Third Edi-
tion of the Leeds Intelligencer:—" Through the kindness
of Messrs. Smith and Son, the well• known news-agents,
we received, a little atter six o'clock this morning, an Ex-
press Edition of yesterday evening's Sun, containing a
summary of the whole of Lord John Russell's speech on
bringing forward the budget.

MONEY find COMMERCIAL ETV'S.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday was
firm, but not higher. Sales 3,000 bales, of which 2,000
were American. Railway Shares were better, and it is
stated that the speech of the Chairman of the North-
Western line was calculated to inspire more confidence
in the value of railway property. We think Mr. Hud-
son's address will also go a great way to effect the same
object.
The Continental advices appear to be of a favourable
character, in so far as that no disposition is shown to
excite disorders at Paris upon the occasion of the Re-
form banquet. In Italy, too, the triumph of the Con-
stitutional principle appears to be decided, and the only
quarter where resistance is expected is in the Austrian
territory.
From India the advices are more satisfactory than
might have been expected.
The English Stock Market has been very quiet this
morning, and rather flat. Consols have been 891 4. both
fur ;Transfer and Thursday, when the Account will be
settled. For April 13th, the rates have been 8911.
Exchequer-bills are 295. premium. Bank Stock has
scarcely been so good, viz., 199 to 201. East India
Stock has been rather lower also, viz., 2421 to 244.
The complexion of the advices from Paris appear to be
more re-assuring, although the banquet is certain to
take place. The New Three-and Quarter per Cents.
have been 901 to ; and the Three per Cents. 891 to 4.
East India Bonds of 1,0001. have been 7s. premium.
The Foreign Stock Market has been quiet. Spanish
Three per Cent. Bonds have been marked 321 to / ;
and the Passive, 411. Portuguese Four per Cents. have
been quoted 26 to 26i. Equador stock is worth ai g.
and Grenada, 20. Mexican stock is steady at 19 ;
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 541.
There has not been much doing in railway shares, and
prices are without any decided movement. Caledonian
have been steady at 354 to 36; Birmingham and Oxford
Junction at 24i to 241' Eastern Counties at 15k 1;
East Lancashire at 211; Great Western at 103; Leeds
and Bradford at 951; Brighton at 361; South Western
at 53; North British at 262; Scottish Central at 291;

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

Coastwise up to our market last week the arrivals of
English Wheat, Barley, Malt, and Oatawero consider-
ably on the increase, those of Beans and Peas small,
and those of Flour moderate. From Ireland and Scot-
land the receipts were mostly confined to a few cargoes
of Oats. As the importers are making exertions to get
their corn in before the Ist proximo, the imports of
foreign grain were good, viz., 17,720 quarters of Wheat;
2,500 qrs. of Barley; 3,448 qrs. of Oats ; 7,000 qrs. of
Beans ; 5,828 qrs. of Linseed, and a few parcels of
Flour. Fresh up to-day, coastwise and by land car-
riage, the supply of Wheat from the neighbouring
counties was small. From distant parts the quantity
was trifling. Although the condition of most of the
samples was better than last week, selected parcels com-
manded a steady sale, at prices about equal to those paid
on Monday last. All other kinds were, however, very
dull, at a decline in the quotations of fully is per quarter.
At the close of business a clearance was not effected by
the factors. Rather a large quantity of Foreign Wheat
was brought forward. The -best qualities: of both red
and white were mostly disposed of at full rates of cur-
rency, but the out-of-ecudition sorts were quite is per
quarter lower, and no progress could be made in sales.
The show of Barley was not to say larger. Fine malt-
, ing samples moved off rather slowly, at late figures;
otherwise tho Barley trade was dull, and the quotations
had a downward tendency. For all kinds or Malt we
have to report an unusually dull sale, and to effect sales
lower prices must have been submitted to. The pres-
sure of foreign Beans on the market being heavy that
article was dull, and is to 2s per quarter cheaper. In
Peas next to nothing was doing, and prices must. to
called quite Is per quarter lower than last week. Indian,
Corn, Meal, and Rye Flour were quite neglected. line
English Flour was quite as dear. The value of country
marks and in!'erior toreign was with difficulty supported.
