LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 27, 1848.

The injury inflicted on the commerce and mann.
factures of the country by the present system of dis-
proportionate indirect taxation, and the in-
justice thereby inflicted on the working classes,
was last night brought under the consideration
of the House of Commons by Mr. EWART, who has
certainly laboured with the utmost zeal and assiduity
in furtherance of this, possibly the most important
measure of practical reform, in which the great body
of the people are more deeply interested than any
other that could be mooted. We regret to say, how-
ever, that the time was not devoted to the subject it so
fully merited. The Chancellor of the Exchequer
replied briefly to the observations of the lion.
Gentleman, and contented himself with the hacknied
excuse " that the present state of the revenue would
not permit any immediate reduction of any species of
taxation." The Right Hon. Baronet, however,
adopted one argument, against the validity of which
we feel it our duty to protest. He stated " that in
the course of the present session he himself had at-
tempted to increase the direct taxation, but he cer-
tainly could not boast of having received much en-
couragement from the House or the country."
Does Sir CHARLES WOOD mean to assert
that the universal feeling of indignation
exhibited by all ranks and classes against
the proposition which the Government so
discreetly and so speedily abandoned, was excited
because the principle of direct taxation was involved
therein ? The words we have above quoted
would semen to imply so much, indeed they
can hanily bear ally other interpretation ; yet it
is difficult to imagine how he could fall into
so palpable a mistake, so grievous an error.
'We should have supposed that Sir CHAULES WOOD
must have been well aware that the demonstrations
to which he alluded were only directed against the
iniquitous system of taxing incomes derived from
transitory and precarious sourct s to an equal amount
with those arising from realised property—of
compelling the hard-working and laborious
man, who had not only to, , !minion
himself and family out of his professional earnings,
but also to invest a considerable portion thereof as a
provision for that family, when he, their father and pro-
issetor, should be removed bydeath, or when he eouldno

" CHAP. V.-THE LIAMBERS.

" The legislative power is executed in common by the
King and two Chambers. The consent of the King and
the Chambers is requisite to every law.
" The first Chamber consists of the princes of the royal
house as soon as they have attained their eighteenth
year, and of, at most, sixty members who must have
reached their fortieth year, and have a yearly income of
not under 8,000 dollars: their seat is hereditary.
"The second Chamber is to consist of 180 members.
The members of the second Chamber are elected for tour
years. They must have attained their thirtieth year.
"No one can be a member of both Chambers. The
sittings of both:Chambers are public.
" CHAP. VI.-THE COURTS OF JUDICATURE.

" The judges are appointed fur their lifetime by the
King.
" CHAP. VII.-FINANCE.

" A budf:et for the expenses and revenues of the State
for each coming year must be presented beforehand."
As soon as the constitution has been adopted, the
KING will take an oath before the Assembly to up-
hold, maintain, and protect the constitution of the
Prussian State.

The heir to the throne has to do the same.
The remaining clauses are relative to local taxa-
tion, &c.
Accounts from Posen state that the Prince of
Paussia has been appointed by the electors of the
Circle of Wersitz deputy to the Constituent As-
sembly.
Letters from Mayence, of the 23d instant, state
that the city is in the state of the greatest alarm,
Fresh collisions have taken place between the soldiers
and the citizens, with loss of life on both sides. In
the fight on Sunday last, it is now ascertained that
fifteen parsons were killed, and fifty more or less
seriously wounded.
The Prussian Indicator of the 23d mentions a re-
port that the Prince of PRUSSIA had arrived at
Potsdam. Some disturbances had broken out among
the workmen on the canal, but they were quelled
without the necessity of having recourse to arms, and
the ringleaders were arrested. On the 23d, the
King of PRUSSIA reviewed the national guards of
Berlin, by whom he was enthusiastically cheered.

SWITZERLAND.

The commandant of the federal troops in the canton
of the Grisons has addressed a letter to the Federa,
Council of War on the position which he occupies
and on those at which are concentrated the Austrian
army, ready, he says, to violate the Swiss territory.
On its part, the Federal Council of War, appreciating
the danger of this state of things, has proposed to the
Federal Directory to increase the troops destined to
cover the south-eastern frontier.

REPORTED VIOLATION OF THE
SWISS TERRITORY.
At the moment of going to press, says the Nouvel.
lisle de Mursedles, the following important intelligence
has reached u.; :
An Austrian division is reported to hare violated
the Swiss territory, by marching through the Canton
of Grisons to attack the Piedmontese army in the
rear.
The siege of Peschiera is actively carried on.

LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 20, 1848.

Say whatever they may, the Conservative quid-
nunc: will find it somewhat difficult to prove that the
simultaneous; movements for political innovation and
"facial improvement are incompatible. As an in-
sinuation calculated to bring the cause of the Radical
Reformers into disrepute, this assertion is as insidi-
ous as it is disgraceful. It is nothing more than the
institution of a comparison between a patriot under
the name of a demagogue, and a Christian under
the name of a philanthropist—the result of the com-
parison being distorted by means of the most specious
sophisms into the reprehension of the former
sad the panegyric of the latter. Against any
such comparison we protest ab initio as unfair
in principle, and as false in rhetoric. It is
as unjustifiable to contrast a political reformer and a
social reformer, as it would be for a modern Plutarch
to contrast a Marlborough with a man of Ross,
a Whitbread with a Howard, or a Boadicea with
a Mrs. Fry. No analogy exists between the two—
sympathy there unquestionably is in the abstract,
but not one particle of analogy; and between things
altogether unanalogous no just comparison can by
ossibility be drawn. No. It were as idle to
'naintain the incompatibility of social improvement
-nd of political innovation, as to deny that
3ENJAMIN CONSTANT and the Abbe DS L'EPPI
-vere fellow-countrymen ; it were as frivolous
33 to maintain that sanitary measures and
qlucational measures were, either the one or
the other of them, beyond the adjudication of
Parliament. What we would assert in the teeth of
all opposition is this=that the excellence of the pro-
ject advocated on Thursday forenoon in the Free-
masons Tavern, Great Queen-street, does not demon-
strate the injurious character of the meeting con-
vened on the preceding Wednesday, at the Riding
Academy, Albany-street. Because it is laudable to
ameliorate the condition of the labouring classes by
driblets, it is not reprehensible to aspire to assuage
their sufferings, or to promote their interests whole-
sale. Because the Illastrious Consort of
Queen ,
ICTORIA could advocate with the
empressement of genuine feeling the claims
of the artizan, and of those dependent
upon his exertions, we cannot see why it should fol-
low as a necessary inference, that the Honourable
:Representative of Montrose should be deemed inca-
pt.,ble of feeling for the privations of the multitude, or
that his aspirations for securing to that multitude
some direct participation in the legislation of the
land should be only regarded as a yearning for anarchy
and spoliation.

THE LATE RAILWAY ACCIDENT.

SHRIVENHAII, FRIDAY NlGHT.—Captain Blair, R.N.,
the unfortunate gentleman whose case has excited ao
much sympathy in connexion with the late accident on
the Great Western Railway, died at eight o'clock on
Thursday evening, having lingered eight days :from the
date of the sad catastrophe. An inquest was held on
the remains of the unfortunate deceased this morning,
before Mr. Wasborough, coroner for Berks, and the
same jury previously empannelled on the other cases.
The body having been viewed, the Rev. Mr. Atkinson
proved its identity.
Mr. John Hall Barnett, surgeon ofFaringdon, proved
having been in constant attendance upon the deceased
from the period ;of the accident up to his death. The
pause of death was the dislocation of the 6th vertebra
of the spine.
The several witnesses Carter,
Movs, Higgins, and
Roscoe, on being called confirmed their previous testi-
mony, but stated no new facts. Mr. Hudson, the sta-
tion-clerk, also repeated his evidence.
George Haynes, carpenter, of Shrivenham, said be
had just taken a ticket from the station-clerk, and was
sitting on the up-platform when the express train to
which the accident happened came up. After the train
had passed he saw Captain Blair lying upon his back
upon the down line, with his shoulders on the rails.
Witness went to him and attempted to pick him up,
when he fell on one side, and witness, fearing he was
seriously hurt, obtained assistance, and got him conveyed
to the Railway Inn.
There being no other witnesses, the CORONER ad-
dressed the jury, remarking that the facts seemed to him
to be very similar to those proved at the last inquest.
Ile thought all they had to consider was, whether Capt.
Blair died from the effects of the injuries resulting from
the accident.

The jury were unanimously of this opinion, and ac-
cordingly confirmed their former finding, viz., " Man-
slnu2hter against James Weybury and William Wil-
!oughby," leaving the policeman, Pargetter, as far as
they were concerned, to be dealt with by his employers.

BLOCKADE OF TRIESTE.

Admiral ALBIN', Commander-in-Chief of the Ita-
lian fleet before Trieste, has replied to the protest of
the German Consuls, that he should recognise Trieste
as appertaining to the Germanic Confederation when
the Austrian flag was substituted by that of the Ger-
man empire. He, however, notified his intention of
.sending the protest to the King CHARLES ALBERT
by the route of Ancona, but that he should continue
the blockade until he received instructions to the
'contrary. The Sardinian fleet consists of 13 ves-
sels, one of which, the San Michele, is a noble frigate
of 64 guns; the other vessels carry 24 guns. The
Bellone, of 52 guns, is the largest vessel of the Aus-
ltrian fleet, and she is backed by 11 gun brigs.

SPAIN.
[The following appeared in our Third Edition of
last night]:—
Aecounts from Madrid of the sth instant state
that the QUEEN was to leave at midnight on the 6th
for La Granja. General NARVAEZ was to follow on
the 9th or 10th, and the Minister of the Interior on
the 15th, after which period all the members of the
Council, will be united a4t La Granja. General Count
Mut.a.sot took possession on the sth of. the Captaincy-
General of Madrid. The deficit in the Bank of San
Fernando was calculated at about 20,000,000 reals.
The bank, however, was in a condition to meet all its
engh.gements.
The; Foment°, Barcelona journal, of the sth inst.,
anticuric:es that CABRERA had positively entered Ca-
talonia, at the head of twenty horsemen, and that
he had, been seen a few days before at Borreda.
The Journal des Debats publishes the following
letter, dated Catalonia, 4th inst.:—
It appears, from an official report, that the three
columns, commanded by Brigadier Manzano, Colonel
Zauch, and Lieut.-cionel Boilll fell in, on the 28th ult.,
at three o'clock 1.;'• with 500 Montemolinists, com-
manded by Cabrera, Boquica, Castell, and others. The
engagement took pace near Samales, a village situate be-
tween Barcelona and Matano, within 30 kilometres of the
former and 20 of the latter. Cabrera and his followers
occupied two steep hide, easily defended, from which
the Queen's troops dislodged them at the point of the
bayonet, after various movements, which lasted upwards
of six hours. The Montemolinists lost twelve killed,
whose bodies were found on the field of battle,
thirty wounded, and twenty prisoners ; they
had besides five horses killed. The Queen's troops,
consisting of detachments of the regiments of the King
and Union and of the battalion of chasseurs of Alba de
Tormas had but one soldier killed and 11 wounded—two
of them were officers. Cabrera and his partisans assem-
bled again on the 30th on the heights of Monseny,
within . five myriametres of Barcelona. It is assured
that • a high personage, supposed to be the younger
brother of Count de Montemolin, accompanies incog.
the celebrated chief. It is added that Cabrera,
who wears a splendid uniform of a Spanish Gene-
ral and a :white beret, never speaks to that person-
age without uncovering himself, and that everybody, the
chaplains included, treats him with the greatest respect.
Fears are entertained that before a month the insurrec-
iton wall have assumed a formidable aspect. Several new
bands have appeared on different points."

ITALY.

LOMBARDY ANI) VENICE.

UNION OF VENICE WITH SARDINIA.
The forces of CHARLES ALBERT have been for some
time concentrating at Cremona, and there is every
probability that by this time a decisive action has
been fought with the Atistrians in the neighbourhood
of Legnano. Intelligence has been received from
Venice to the 3d instant. On that day the union of
the Venetian provinces with Sardinia was proclaimed,
in accordance with the resolutions of the Chamber,
the Civic Guard, and the people.

The Avvenire d'ltalia of Milan, of the 6th, an-
nounces from Peschiera (30th ult) that CHARLES
ALBERT has changed his plan of operations, and
given up the idea of attacking Verona. His present
plan appears to be, to leave a body of 25,000 men to
defend the line of the Mincio, while the main body
would pass the Po at Borgeforte, traverse a part of
the Modenese, pass the Po again at Brescello or
Ferrara, and deliver the Venetian provinces from the
presence of the Austrians. After these operations
Verona would be blockaded. The present inaction
is relieved now and then by skirmishes with the ad-
vanced post. On the Ist. inst. the Duke of GENOA
repulsed the Austrians at Rivoli.

private gentleman, while proceeding through Kensin.
ton, by which his Grace's postilion sustained some in-
jury as well as one of the horses attached to the vehicle.
Some of the youthful members of his Grace's family
who were in the carriage providentially escaped per-
sonal injury ; but in consequence of the alarm and the
which the
damage done to their conveyance, were taken to a pas-
''tr)cook shop in thecneighbourhood, neighbourhood, at
Duchess of Sutherland arrived in a short time, and the
party proceeded in another of her Grace's
carriages.
Some ladies in the brougham also narrowly escaped in-
jury. The occurrence was purely accidental, and no
blame is attributed to the driver of either vehicle.

BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION.

Sir,—On Monday, the 10th, more on Sugar. A
wonderful faculty is that, which enables an Opposition
Member to speak four hours and a quarter on whether
the duty on Sugar should not be fourteen shillings
instead of thirteen. _ _

An ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer, in the course
of the debate, said something about " throwing away
revenue." One of the earliest witticisms of the
_Edinburgh Review when it was young, was the re-
mark that all hunters acquire a delight in the
multiplication of their game ; and it proceeded
to instance the individual of entomological
pursuits, who in those days scandalized royalty
by a board near the Royal Exchange, intimating
that he had the honour of clearing the beds of
Majesty from vermin. Something like this feeling
overcomes an o'd Chancellor of the Exchequer. He
has accustomed himself to count his gettings, till he
thinks that ail he does not get is thrown away. For
my own part I feel a doubt, whether revenue can he
thrown away ; intending always, before it is got. lt
would be an od speech which should tell a man, he
had thrown away that fifty pounds, by leaving it at
his banker's undrawn. A Chancellor of the Exchequer
may at some time arise, who will tell you the people are
his bankers, and what he leaves with them he leaves
to fructify, in the assurance that he may have it when
he wants. It may be doubted whether he would be
the worse, for this kind of what bankers call " keep-
ing a good account."
The Ministerial proposition was finally carried by
180 against 124.
On Tuesday the principal debate was connected
with the subject of the Rajah of Sattara. Though ti
division was feeble, it may be surmised that the ef-
fect of similar discussions is salutary, as impressing
on governments the necessity for caution, or at
all events a sense of the inconvenience arising from
leaving openings for attack.

We read in the lifessager of yesterday evening :

"There was a talk at the National Assembly this day,
of the discovery and defeat of a plot at Sedan, at the
moment when it was on the point of being put into
execution. It is said that twelve of the principal estab-
lishments of that town were to have been burned, and
vengeance to have been exercised upon the manufacturer s
who had refused to accede to a reduction of the hours of
labour. It is proper to state that certain deputies of the
Ardennes declared that they had not received any in-
formation of this kind ; but, on the other hand, letter:3
containing the news, and coming from an honourable
source, were spoken of."

We yesterday mentioned that the house of Queen
CHRISTINA, in the Rue de Courcelles, had been
searched, as also a house in the Rue de Maromesfilly
which was the property of Queen CHRISTINA. The
.Atfonitexr, in announcing the fact, states that nothing
was found, and that the search was the consequence
of precipitation. It appears that there is a defalcation
in the accounts of the Bank of San Fernando to the
amount of 100,0001., which money was, it is said, sent
to Paris by Queen CHRISTINA for the purpose of
aiding the insurrection, CHRISTINA giving merely a
verbal guarantee to the Bank for its repayment. It
was to Spain, and not to England, that M. FLOCON
alluded when he spoke of the insurrection having been
fomented by foreign gold.
The Bien Public denies authoritatively the rumour
that D.I. DE LAMARTINE was about to quit Paris for
the East. The same ournal warmly urges the im-
mediate resumption of the railways by the State.
The number of the wounded remaining in the hos-
pitals is 1,131.
The .Aironiteur publishes a list of the Members ap-
pointed by the Minister of the Interior as a Com-
mittee to distribute the sums set aside by the National
Assembly for the purpose of giving advances and
premiums for the encouragement of industry in shape
of mauufactures or other private enterprises, and '
