duce the price of malt, unless it have the effect
of causing an increased quantity of barley to be
grown. That such would be the effect, as long
as any land fit for barley cultivation was to be
had we agree, but if that land requires
extra outlay, it is clear that the consumer
must pay for it. A reduction of the malt
tax, therefore, without the abolition of the corn
laws, will have the effect of putting the whole
tax into the landlord's pocket, or if the public
get any advantage from the reduction, it will
only be incidentally from a slight competition
among the landlords for the sale of an additional
quantity of malt. The house and window tax
is acknowledgedly partial in its operation. If

the mansions of the wealthy were taxed in the
same proportion as those of the tradesmen in the
Strand, we should in fact have a property tax ;
hut levied as it at present is, it is only a means
of laying upon the middling classes an unfair
share of the bur-dens of the state, and ought at
once to be done away with in toto.

By the Paris journals we learn that the
Chamber of Deputies was on Monday almost
exclusively engrossed with the foolish affair of
the Tribune newspaper, which, on the stormy
discussion being brought to a close, terminated
in a majority for Ministers of eleven, a majo-
rity that amounts virtually to a defeat. The
question was whether the editor of the paper in
question should be called to the bar, for having
made some absurd charge or other against a
Deputy, by name VIENNET. The opposition
wisely objected that it was beneath the digni►y of
a Chamber pretending to anything like liberality
of thought and action, to take cognizance of every
idle newspaper squib—and the Ministers, natu-
rally enough, broke down under the weight of this
obj ection.—The Ball which was to have been given
on Monday night by the Republicans, for the
benefit of persons convicted of political offences,
has, it seems, been postponed for the present.—
From Frankfort, we hear, that great riots have
taken place in that town, in which several lives
were lost. Order has been since restored, but

he public discontent still continues--this is
,he natural consequence of the Frankfort edicts.

Considerable consternation has been excited
in some of the Government offices by the article
in the Times of this morning, relative to the
Ministry. We cannot find, however, that any
thing new has transpired to justify a doubt of the
stability of Ministers, except it be the admitted
want of agreement among:themselves as to the
Finance measures which they consider necessary
The Tories have been, for some days past, in
high glee at the embarrassments of the Cabinet,
and the prospect which they fancy to exist of
their being recalled to office. Whatever errors
the present Ministers may have committed,
however, it is not probable that the liberal party
in the House of Commons, who hold the balance
between Whigs and Tories, will join with the
latter to displace the former. Ministers have,
indeed, neglected their friends, without having
had tact enough to conciliate their enemies ; but
those who have been thus neglected have too
much patriotism to allow personal feelings to
prevail over a sense of public, duty.

Owing to the strong gale of wind which prevailed last
night, we have no arrivals of any consequence this morning.
Montreal papers to the 10th of 11 irch, Quebec to the
Sth of March, and New Brunswick to the 27th of Feb.,
have been received at the North and South American
Coffee-house. The former contain no news. The
Quebec papers say that the Legislature of Nova Scotia is
orcup'ed with the currency question. In the New
Brunswick papers there is a message to the House of As.
aembly, stating that the Lieutenant-Governor informed the
House, tint his Majesty had been pleased, by his Royal
Commission, to appoint two separate and distinct Conn-
ci s in that province, to be respectively called the Legisla-
tive Council and the Executive Council, and has vested
in the Legislative Council, all matters regarding the enact-
ing of laws ; and in the Executive Council all the other
powers.
The accounts from Toulon, by the French mail, arrived
