SPEECH of the EMPEROR of BRAZIL
Most August and Worthy Representatives of the
Nation,

It is with the greatest satisfaction that I have come to
open the third session of the present legislation, and to
announce to you the marriage of my greatly beloved
sister, the Imperial Princess, with his Royal High-
ness the Prince of the Two Sicilies, the Count
d'Aquila ; a most happy alliance, which proves an addi-
tional pledge for the continuance of my imperial dynasty,
and fulfils the most ardent desires of my heart.
The empire is at peace with all foreign countries, and
I shall not cease to employ all the means in my power to
preserve it, without compromising the national dignity.
lam sorry to communicate to you that the civil war
in the province of S. t'edro do Rio Grande do Sul is not
yet finally extinct, but in all the others tranquillity pre-
vails, and to render it more consolidated in those of St.
Paulo and Minas Geraes, I have deemed it expedient to
grant an amnesty to all who were concerned in the late
disorders therein.

Our finances continue to require your most serious
consideration ; and it is not of less importance to attend
to our agricultural and commercial improvement.
lay Ministers, the Secretaries of State, will lay before
you the estimates of their respective departments.
Most Worthy and August Representatives of the
Nation,

The happiness of Brazil and the aggrandisement of
the empire are the continual objects of my care, and I
rely on your cordial and loyal co-operation.
The session is opened,

NEW SERGEANTS-AT-LAw.—The following Learned
Gentlemen have been appointed to the dignity of the
coif, viz., Edward Bellasis, Esq., of the Chancery Bar,
John Alexander Kinglake, Esq., and Charles Chadwick
Jones, Esq., of the Common-law Bar.—Evening Paper.
NEWSPAPER PRAUDS.—A man of very shabby ex-
terior, who said his name was Osborne, was brought before
the Brighton; bench of magistrates on Thursday, charged by
Mr. Bacon, the proprietor of the Sussex Advertiser, with ob-
taining newspapers under false pretences. Mr. Bacon said
he had supplied the prisoner with newspapers since last
January, till at length he discovered that the fellow had
given a wrong address, but on inquiry he discovered his
real abode, and caused him to be apprehended. Since his
apprehension a large number of newspapers, directed to the
prisoner, have been stopped at the Post-office, and on search-
ing the prisoner's house five sealed letters, directed to him,
were found. These letters were produced before the-magis-
trates, who directed them to be opened, The first was from
the proprietors of the London. Price Current, with a demand
for 91. 17s. 6d. for newspapers supplied to prisoner. The next
was from the Liverpool Courier, offering to supply eleven
papers weekly on receiving either a reference or a Post-office
order. Other letters from the Oxford Chronicle, the Liverpool
Albion, and the Birmingham Herald, containing similar pre-
cautions, were opened. The magistrates' clerk's table was
strewn with papers directed to the prisoner. At the request
of Mr. Bacon the prisoner was remanded for a week.
THE • HAIR.—Of the numerous compounds con-
stantly announced nir promoting the growth or reproduc-
tion of the hair, few survive, even in name, beyond a very
limited period ; whilst " Rowland's Macassar Oil," with ,a
reputation unparalleled, is still on the increase in public es-
timation. The singular virtues of this successful invention
for restoring, preserving, and beautifying the human hair,
are too well known and appreciated to need much comment.
The very facts of the high and distinguished patronage it
enjoys, its general, use in all countries, together with nu-
merous testimonials constantly received in its favour, are au-
thorities which stamp its superior excellence and title over all
attempts of a similar nature. Being universally preferred,
its consequent great demand excites the cupidity of '
un-
principled shopkeepers, who vend the most spurious trash as
the " genuine' Macassar Oil: whereas the genuine article is
wholly the invention and property of A. Rowland and Son,
and the amalgamation of its costly exotic materials renders
abortiveany attempt to discover its component parts—thus
proving the imposition of all other articles bearing the title
of 4‘ Macassar Oil." The genuine article has the words
" Rowland's Macassar Oil" on the wrapper.---All others are
frandul e ' counterfeits

The rejection of Mr. Villiers's motion for a repeal of
the import duties on foreign corn, by a majority of
nearly three to one, must convince the most sanguine ad-
herent of the League that the present Parliament will
not abolish the tax on bread. Not even will the compro-
mise of a fixed duty be listened to ; the sliding-scale
will continue in force, at least, till the next general
election. We are aware that many feel confident that
the law will be changed on the occasion of the first bad
harvest,—these speculators on probabilities having much
more reliance on the vicissitudes of the seasons than the
justice of legisla,tion. Others, who possess that mixture
of enthusiasm and perseverance which hopes against
hope, and expect that ends may be obtained without
adequate means, imagine, that commercial emancipation
will spring up out of the disruption of political parties,
overlooking the faCt of the personal interests of land-
lords remaining unchanged, however they may vary
their Parliamentary leadership. We regret our inabi-
lity to share in any of these cheering prospects ; for, it
being notorious, that the object of the corn-law is to
sustain rents and preVent the foreclosure of mortgages,
and it being equally notorious, that the receivers of rents
have possessed themselves of a monopoly of legisla-
tion, it appears to us perfectly clear, that no adverse
harvest, no internal political jealousies, no war to the
knife on minor points, will ever so far permit fear or
passion to control reason, or neutralise the argument
of the breeches-pocket, as to induce the actual holders of
broad acres to transfer them to their creditors, either
private or public,—to mortgagees or to fundholders.
Long years of legislative injustice and legislative blun-
ders have brought us into a state so artificial and
complex, that the slightest change in the hollow and
unsubstantial fabric of society threatens to bring
down the whole building. We are in the con-
dition of the man who held the wolf by the ears ,
it is dangerous to continue the hold; and equally peri-
lous to relax the grasp. 'Were we to venture in a single
sentence to assign a cause for the " difficulties of Com-

mercial Reform," we should ascribe it to the fact of our
huge indebtedness, which prevents the application of the
sound principles of political economy to the production
and distribution of wealth. Let us, then, endeavour to
point out specifically the nature and bearings of those
difficulties, and we shall be better able to judge how we
ought to assail monopoly with a fair prospect of success.
We shall take it for granted, that corn is the standard
of all value. Now, it has been demonstrated that the
natural, that is to say, the untaxed price of a quarter of
the finest wheat, both in this country and in most of the
Continental States, is equal to about 6i ounces of silver,
er 335. 6d. It has been further shown by Mr. John
Taylor, by evidence we have recently printed, and to
which we refer our readers, that for every million of
taxes imposed in the shape of permanent debt, the
price of the quarter of wheat ought to rise
one penny, to place the landowner in the
same position as he would have occupied had
no tax existed. Now, if we take our National
Debt at 800 millions, then we must add 800 pence per
quarter to the natural price of 335. 6d. ; 800 pence are
equal to 31. 6s. 8d ; consequently, if we add 31. 6s. Bd.,
the artificial or taxation price, to 11. 13s. 6d., the natural
or untaxed price, then the selling price of a quarter of
the finest wheat, in our actual circumstances, would be
five pounds and twopence. Our readers may be startled
at such a statement as this ; we know it is not a pleasant
view of the subject, but if we really desire to ascertain
the nature of our difficulties, in order to conquer them,
we must not shrink from looking truth boldly in the face.
We have said, that corn is the standard of all value.
We have pointed out the ratio in which its price ought
to rise, with the rise of taxation. If we are unable to
give a scale equally graduated of other commodities, it
must nevertheless be obvious, that the same principle
must apply to all other products of human industry ; or,
in other words, there must, for all articles, be two prices,
the natural and the artificial—the latter being regu-
lated by the amount of taxation at any given time
in any given country. The consumers of artificially
priced corn cannot sell their gocds at their natural
prices, for, if they did, they would have to sustain all the
burdens of taxation, from which, on that hypothesis,
the growers of corn would be exempt. If, then, taxa-
tion necessitates high rents, so also does it necessitate
high profits to the capitalists, and in a proportionate de-
gree it also necessitates high wages. Cheap labour,
cheap commodities, cheap rents, under the pressure of
excessive taxation, are absurd and unjust, unless we are
prepared to say that the public creditor is to regard his
debtors as slaves, and compel them to work as slaves for
his special benefit. Here, then, we trust, the evidence is
plain, that our public indebtedness prevents the applica-
tion of sound principles of political economy to the ex-
isting condition of England, provided we are honest
enough to keep faith with the public creditor.
Now, how to keep that faith, is the problem to be
solved. It has been said, that the more we pay to
classes for monopolies and differential duties, the less
able are we to pay the fundholder and the Queen's
taxes. This, of course, is most true. The.receivers of
monopolies and differential duties know the fact as well
as their opponents. though they may be too cunning to
acknowledge it. They were evidently imposed by the
Legislature to shift the weight of the public debt from
property to industry, and for that purpose they are
maintained. If honour or honesty ruled the conduct of
our aristocracy, they would pay the debt they contracted,
either by selling their estates to redeem the principal
sum, er by raising as much per cent. on their incomes,
by direct taxes, as would discharge the annual dividends.
This, their cupidity and -their necessities prevent them
from doing ; and, consequently, they persist in levying
revenue through indirect taxation, which is so graduated
as to bear with the most unequal pressure possible on
commodities of general consumption ; so that the prac-
tical obligation to discharge the claims of the Queen's
Government and of the fundholder, chiefly falls on the
working classes, being abstracted from their wages
through the machinery of customs and excise. It is in-
dustry that pays the taxes, not property ; though indus-
try, disfranchised and unrepresented, never gave a soli-
tary vote for the contraction of that very debt by which
industry is now ground down to the earth.
The object of the corn-laws is to raise prices, but it
has defeated itself, since bread can never sustain a high
legislative price in the midst of an unemployed and
pennyless population. The object of a metallic currency
is to lower prices. Both these systems have been in full
play for many years, of course counteracting each other
While the Legislature has done all in its power—how-
ever. impotent that power may have proved—to com-
pensate landlords for their share of the burdens of taxa-
tion, by giving them a monopoly of the food markets,
-they have, at the same time, lowered the prices of all
other commodities, by substituting a metallic for a paper
currency, and prohibiting gold to rise beyond an arbi-
trary Mint-price. All prices have tended to fall
to the low price of gold, which has been exempted
from the laws of supply and demand by Act of Parlia-
ment. Whether the Bank of England possesses fifteen
millions of bullion in its coffers, as at present, or whether
it were so bare of the precious metals, as to be com-
pelled to borrow two-and-a-half millions from the Bank
of France, gold still remains at the Mint-price of 3/. 17s
10id. per ounce—a contradiction so witless, that, if the
fact were not notorious, he who proclaimed it might be
suspected of denying common sense to the Legislature.
Here, then, we have another difficulty- in the way of
CoMmercial Reform—the conflict between the corn-
laws and a metallic currency ; the one raising, the other
lowering prices ; both in action, at the same time, in the
same market, and both defended by Sir R. Peel with
equal pertinacity.

We have, then, five distinct classes or parties, each of
whose separate interests must be consulted, before we
can get rid of our commercial difficulties. First, the
Government, demanding excessive taxes. Secondly, the
fundholder, claiming payment of his dividends. Who
is to pay them ? "Not we," standing forward as the
third section, say the landlords ; " our private mort-
gages and special burdens are as much as we can bear."
" Nor we," fourthly, exclaim the capitalists ; " our pro-
fits are so reduced, that to lower them further would
drive us to some foreign land, less indebted." "Nor we,"
fifthly, declare the working classes ; " from ten hours'
toil we have been goaded into sixteen, yet this excess of
labour brings no equivalent wages ; we faint Under
the burden ; we can neither feed ourselves nor out chil-
dren, and foresee that the race of labourers must be ener-
vated from generation to generation, till the powers of
British labour are prostrated and exhausted."
Now, it seems to us, that, before we can adopt any
comprehensive system
.of commercial reform, we must
first settle the question of taxation. How are we, an
indebted country, to compete, on fair terms, with an un-
indebted country? If taxation requires an artificial
price, as we have endeavoured to show, how can we sell
goods at their natural price? Somebody must pay the
taxes, either out of their capital or out of their labour;
there is no alternative, unless we sponge out the debt
and proclaim ourselves bankrupts. If we allow
foreign commodities to come into our home
market, unburdened with taxation, how can our
producers of the same kind of commodities sell
them ? If, on the other hand, we exclude foreign
corn, how can we feed our dense and annually increasing
population ? Again, if we are to protect the rich, such
as landowners and West India planters, shall we refuse
to protect the poor ? But are not these two obligations
incompatible ? Can we at the same time keep up the
price of bread by a corn-law, and keep up wages with a
metallic currency ? There is palpable contradiction on
the very face of the proposition. With a cheap Mint-price of
gold, commodities must tend to cheapness, where gold is
the measure of value ; and as commodities become cheap,
profits and wages must fall, and thus, with diminished
means, industry must pay the fixed interest of .the fixed
debt, while the landlord next steps in and takes, by a
bread-and-beef tax, from the consumer his own portion
of indebtedness to the fundholder. In a word, then, we
conclude, that the Government expenditure and the Na-
tional Debt are the main difficulties in the way of Com-
mercial Reform, to which may be added the metallic cur- •
rency and the inflexible price of gold.

'Dispatches were sent off on Saturday evening from the
G01(4414-alio fur the Goyeraor
•

This letter, we think, marks very properly the limits
within which the Home-office ought to act—and ought
at once to silence those who pretend to have believed
that post letters were inviolable. The Scotsman proceeds
to ask of what flagrant crime was M. Mazzini accused ?
This question we are not in a condition to answer, but
that a very flagrant crime has been committed by
persons with whom Mr. Mazzini was in communication
is certain, namely, an invasion of a friendly country from
a British port ; the corpus delicti is established beyond
all doubt, and though Mr. Mazzini was doubtless guilt-
less of a participation in it—or he would not be now at
large—such participation is probably the flagrant crime
of which he was accused by the foreign ministers.
GLOBE.—We observe that the case of the unpaid
Danish claimants is once more to be brought under the
consideration of the House of Commons to-morrow, by
Mr. Christie. If anything could aggravate the hard-
ship of a thirty-seven years' denial of justice, it is the
conduct of a number of members of the Tory party,
who, having always supported these claims against the
late Government, kept away from th e division, or voted
against them, when they were brought forward last year
by Mr. llawes. Mr. Creswell's annual motions used to
be annually carried by considerable majorities, in which
Tory Members always greatly predominated ; but when,
the Tories having come into power, the Danish
claimants, full of hope, once again brought
their case before the House of Commons, they were
beaten, to their great surprise, by fifteen votes, and only
fifteen members of the whole Tory party voted in the
minority which supported Mr. Hawes. Many may have
been away by accident—we understand that the division
took place on tbat occasion very much earlier in the even-
ing than had been generally expected; but, on the other
hand, ten Tory members who had previously supported the
claims then voted against them, and among the ten were
five members of the Government—Sir E. Knatchbull,
Captain Boldero, Sir Frederick Trench, Mr. G. W.
Hope, and the Hon. Charles Hope. Should not the love
of their own salaries, so strikingly evinced, have led
these gentlemen to think a little more seriously of the
important pecuniary interests with which they have
played for purposes of party ?
