NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS OF

THE SUN.

uture.

In consequence of the great anxiety expressed by
our Country Subscribers to obtain copies of the
EXPRESS EDITIONS of THE SUN, we
beg to state, that all those who reside in the vici-
nity of the great towns, or on the great lines
of roads, will in future receive EXPRESS EDITIONS
on all important occasions, and no others than sub-
scribers. It is, therefore, indispensable that those wh•
wish to be supplied with the LATEST NEWS, should
order their Papers with the least possible delay.
If there be any obstacle in obtaining EXPRESS
EDITIONS by subscribers, a line addressed to the
Office will obviate the difficulty.
Sun Office, March 9, 1835.

We have received so many letters from Subscribers,
anxious to have the EXPRESS EDITIONS of
THE SUN, that we cannot, without considerable
delay, give a separate answer to each. We, therefore,
take this method of assuring our Friends that their
wishes shall be duly attended to.

The publication of TFIE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day
at 15 minutes past 3 o'clock.

LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 9, 1335.

Since the article immediately following was written,
we have learnt with unspeakable satisfaction that Lord
JOHN RUSSELL is to bring forward the motion which

Mr. HuNtE intimated his intention of making on

C,•;'k

Friday next. The Noble Lord will move that the
Supplies shall be limited to a period not exceeding
THREE MONTHS, and will be supported by the whole
strength of the Opposition.
This is the true Constitutional course, and will test

r,
c/
‘l..i/ 0 A-

the sincerity of the intermediates who are so fond of
babbling about a fair trial, in the same breath in
which they express their want of confidence in the
Ministers. They will here have an opportunity of
giving the trial and withholding the confidence—
such an opportunity as their most sanguine expecta-
tions could not have anticipated.
We also learn that the Marquis of CHANDOS means
to bring forward his motion for the repeal of the
Malt Tax, and that he is confident of success. We
do not think, all things considered, that Sir R. PEEL'S
is a bed of roses at present, whatever it may be in

Mr. HUME'S threat of moving that the money
grants shall be made for six months only, has produced
no little dismay in certain quarters. In setting up a
lamentable cry about the dangers to result from another
Government defeat, the public service shaken, the
minds of men unhinged, uncertainty and darkness
flung over our prospects, for the ensuing autumn, the
necessity for prolonging the Session to the middle of
October, and the universal distrust and anxiety which
must inevitably follow—(and all, remember, to IT-
hazarded rather than that the Tories shall be displaced)
the Government Journals seem to forget the fair trial,
now in course of progress, which was all that Sir
ROBERT PEEL asked. Six months—nay, half that
period, were surely ample time for the disclosure of

those measures, by which Sir ROBERT implied his
readiness to stand or fall. We would, again
and again, remind the Reformers, both in and
out of the House of the danger of resigning the only
safeguard that is yet left them. If the supplies are
unconditionally voted, it would be sheer vapouring to
speak of a trial—no power, save the pleasure of the
Crown, can eject the Tories from their seats. Is it
prudent, is it just, then, to strip the people of the only
defence they possess ?
We trust that Mr. HUME is acting in concert with
the whole body of the Opposition. Indeed we can dis-
cover no reasonable ground of dissent among them upon
the intended Amendment, for the Moderates themselves,
if acting consistently with their avowed desire to afford
to the Government the trial it solicited, cannot but
concur in the temporary restriction . thus intended
to be imposed on its power of doing mischief. To the
assumed evils above enumerated (with but one excep-

tion—the prolongation of the Session—and that is
more a matter of personal invonvenience than an evil)
we give a flat denial. So far from darkness, dis-
trust, and uncertainty, arising in the public
mind, the measures which by this amendment
will be extorted from the Ministry, will effec-

tually prevent them all. So long as Tory inten-
tions are kept in abeyance, public doubt, and its
offspring distrust, must, in fact, be evils inevitable.
The Government, with a half or a quarter year's
money-grant in hand, might defy a nightly outvoting
during such a period, but no longer. Should the
measures which they will be compelled to introduce be
such as are inconsistent with the public wish, in the
opinion of the Liberals and Moderates, at the termina-

tion of the allotted time, the Ministry will be constrained
either to resign or to dissolve the Parliament by the
opposition successfully and justly given. The solicited

fair trial has been accorded ; pass the estimates un-
conditionally, and the compelling power is lost ; so that
neither in justice nor in generosity ought the " ancient
course" to be, in the present state of popular feeling,
followed.

From what transpired of the proceedings which
took place at a meeting of the PREMIER'S friends at
Downing-street on Saturday, it is probable that Sir
R. PEEL and his colleagues will be able to prevail
upon the Marquis of CHANDOS to postpone his mo-
tion for the repeal of the Malt Tax, which stands for
to-morrow, until the pecuniary resources of the Go-
vernment are fully ascertained. We have heard that
the Government intends making one hold effort to con-
ciliate the rural population of England, by repealing
this tax ; but as yet we have not heard in what way
the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER proposes to
make up the deficiency which its repeal will create in
the public revenue. Were this question to be brought
regularly forward, all resistance on the part of the Go-
vernment would he madness, as the country gentle-
men stand pledged to their constituents to vote for
the repeal of the Malt Tax ; and, therefore, many
of the staunchest Tories would be compelled to unite
with the opposition in ousting Ministers. We confess
few things could give us greater pleasure than the re-
peal of an odious impost, which has filled the rural
districts of England with those seminaries of village
iniquity—beer shops ; but at the same time we are
anxious to learn in what way the CHANCELLOR of
the EXCHEQUER intends to cover the deficit in the
revenue, which shall be thus created. If the burden
is only to be shifted from the shoulders to the legs—if
to cover the defalcation in the revenue, caused by the '
repeal of this tax—it is intended to lay on another
which shall press with still more severity on some other
portion of the community, we would advise the
House of Commons to pause ere it sanction a measure
which may disturb the peace of the country. If the
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER has no other fund
to draw from than the pockets of the industrious
classes, we fear he stands a poor chance of increasing
his popularity, in the present depressed state of the
trade and commerce of Great Britain, and her Colonial
dependencies. We know that in the present Parlia-
ment, as in all others, there are many Members who
never trouble their heads about matters of this kind,
and who, by theories of their own, would manage to
conduct the public service without taxes of any sort—
at least so they think themselves. Like Gonzalo in
the Tempest, these sages are ever prepared to exclaim—
" I'the Commonwealth I would by contraries
Execute all things : for no kind of traffic
Would I admit ; no name of Magistrate ;
Letters should not be known ; wealth, poverty,
And use of service, none ; contract, succession,
Bourn, bound of land, tilth, vineyard none ;
No use of metal, corn, or wine, or oil ;
No occupation, all men idle, all,
And women too."
But as these felicitous imaginings are not likely
to be numbered among the articles of the CHANCELLOR
of the EXCHEQUER'S creed, we repeat that we should
like much to be made acquainted with the Tory
plan of getting rid of a difficulty, which nearly twice
proved fatal to the late Administration. Will Sir
ROBERT PEEL anticipate the motion of DANIEL
WHITTLE HARVEY on the Pension List, by sup-
plying a part of the deficit out of the money devoted
to the Royal bounty ? Or will he deprive JOSEPH
HUME of half his labours for the ensuing Session, by
abolishing all sinecures, and applying the savings so
effected in carrying out the project of Lord CHANDOS
in favour of the agriculturists ?
And even if he were to do all this, and more, what
would it avail him ? The income arising out of the

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 9, 1835.

Malt Tax amounts to within a fraction of five millions
sterling—nearly one-third of the disposable revenue
of the kingdom. We are on principle opposed to the
Malt Tax ; but we again ask, how can it be given
up unless the country is prepared to submit to a Pro-
perty Tax ? Much as we dislike the Tories—strongly
as we have resisted them—we would not stoop to the
meanness of taking anv unfair advantage of them. We
remember too well the conduct of the late Ministry on
this question, and were they in office now, they would
be obliged to vote against the motion. We are not the
tools of any party, and will not support a factious oppo-
sition for no higher purpose than that of embarrassing a
Government.

We again repeat, that nothing would give us
greater satisfaction than the repeal of the Malt
Tax, if it could be done without the inflic-

tion of greater ruin on the country. It was
the imposition of this tax which first drove the
agricultural labourers to the degrading beer-shop,
and subsequently led the way to the formation
of bands of marauding vagabonds and incendiaries.
0
Every law which tends to lead tho working classes from
the bosom of their own families, and the sight of their
own hearths, after the day's toil is over, is a bad, de-
moralizing law ; and' none ever had this effect in a
greater degree than the imposition of the tax on malt.
From the moment that tax was imposed, the poor man
could no longer brew his own barrel of beer for the use
of himself and family ; and hence when he wished to
enjoy a draught of his favourite beverage, he was
forced to seek the tap-room of the nearest Tom
and Jerry shop. This custom repeated, soon
grew into a confirmed habit. The sum which
before was sufficient to provide beer for every
member of the little family, under the new ar-
rangement was frequently found inadequate to slake

the thirst of one individual ; and so the wife and chil-
dren were left to shift for themselves, or starve. What
remains, we leave to the imagination of those who
think the subject worthy their attention.
We have heard it stated that it has been proposed

to apply the revenue arising out of the Crown lands,
the savings effected by a large_ reduction of the army,
and revenues arising from various other sources to
making up the deficiency, which shall be created by
the repeal of the Malt Duties. If this can be done,
so much the better. It ought to be done. But
we have doubts on this head. We are moreover
persuaded that the landlords will be the principal
gainers by the repeal of the Malt Tax, and that the
burden will be only removed from their shoulders to
the backs of the commercial population.

Now the proper plan for Sir ROBERT PEEL would
be, to accompany the motion for the repeal of the
Malt duty, with another one for the total abolition of
the present fluctuating rate of duty on the importation
of foreign grain into this country. With the absence
of a Malt tax, let us have likewise a Free Trade in
corn. If the Corn Tax is continued after the Malt
duty is abolished, the first consequence will be a rise
in the price of grain in this country, from an increased
consumption to make beer ; and so the inhabitants of
towns to whom the repeal of the Malt tax will prove of
very little service, will be constrained to pay a higher
price for their bread—thus securing a double gain to
the agriculturists by a double loss to the commer-
cialists and mechanics: But by abolishing the
Malt and Corn taxes at the same time, the increased
consumption of grain is provided for by an increased
supply, and every part of the community is equally be-
nefited. We shall have frequent opportunities of re-
turning to one of these subjects, at least before the end
of the session.

and the thirtieth of his reign as Emperor of Aus-
TRIA, having previously enjoyed the regal dignity of
Hungary and Bohemia for twelve years.

The present EMPEROR will be forty-two years of
age in the course of next month. In February, 1831,
he married ANNE CAROLINE, daughter of EMMA-

NUEL, late King of SARDINIA; and in September
of the same year was crowned King of HUNGARY.

The most material circumstance connected with the
present MONARCH is his avowed dislike of Prince
METTERNICH, against whom personally he enter-
tains the most rooted aversion. This is the pivot
upon which the future policy of the Empire will turn.
Although nothing had been done towards the re-
construction of the French Cabinet, when the above
intelligence reached Paris, the Minister for Foreign

Affairs received instructions to recall all leaves of ab-
sence previously granted to the corps diplomatique.
The KING called a Council, at which several who
were not Ministers attended, and it was there agreed
that it would be for the credit of France were all dif-
ferences merged until the present period of excite-
ment within, and distraction without, has passed
over. It is generally believed that to Marshal SOUL T
and M. DUPIN will be entrusted the formation of the
new Ministry, and that the arrangements will be
made as speedily, and with as little appearance of dis-
sension, as possible. Several lists of the new Ca-
binet have been handed about, but we decline giving

M. ROUEN, the responsible Editor of the Nationnel,
was on Friday brought from the prison of St. Pelagic
to the Court of Assizes, and arraigned a second time
for publishing an article on the American claims.
The Court refused to listen to his demand for the
postponement of the trial, till papers and documents
which he had sent for to America should arrive. He
was sentenced to twelve months' incarceration, and to
pay a fine of 10,000 francs to the KING. Really this
assumption of despotic power, on the part of Louis
PHILIPPE, is growing every day more and more in-
tolerable.

ROLLS' COURT-(THIS DAY.)

JANSEN V. DAVIS.

ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. BARHAIL

His HONOUR gave judgment this morning in this case,
overruling the exceptions.

His HONOUR also gave judgment in this case, which was
argued on Saturday. It was an information filed for the pur-
pose of having the full benefit of a charitable bequest to the
parishes of Walton and Boothby, in Lancashire. By the will
of a person named Berie, made in the reign of Queen Eliza-
beth, property producing 101. a year was given to the Rector
and Churchwardens of St. Mary Magdalen, on trust in
the first instanee to pay 50s. to the parish of Walton,
under will, to buy bread to be distributed weekly among
the poor. Secondly, the testator gave 425. to Boothby
for a similar purpose, and the residue was to be applied ac-
cording to the discretion of the trustees for charitable pur-
poses in their own parish. Though the property had greatly
increased, the trustees continued to pay to the parishes of
Boothby and Walton only the sum named in the will, contend-
ing that they were entitled to all the increased residue, re-
sulting from the great increase of the property, for the benefit
of their own parish. The parishes of the other charities con-
tending they were entitled to participate equally with the parish
of St. Mary Magdalen filed the present information for the pur-
pose of having the opinion of the Court. The question for the
consideration of the Court, therefore, was whether the in-
creased rent should not be apportioned among all the objects
of the testator's bounty, in the proportion which their shares
on the 101. bore to one another, or whether, because the sum
given to the former had been specified, and for a specific pur-
pose, it should, under any circumstances, be allowed to
increase. His Honour was of opinion that it was clear
upon the testator's will, that he intended the apportionment of
a certain proposed income, and such being the case, his
Honour would declare that the different charities were entitled
to share in the increased property, according to the propor-
tions they bore to the 101. He would also direct an account
to be taken from the filing of the information, refer it to the
Master to approve of a scheme for the future regulation of the
dimity, and reserve further directions and costs.
