SIR ROBERT REEL'g—FINANCEIL
SCHEME.

than. counterbalanced by the proposed removal of pro-
tection upon cattle. They can see no difference
between being "dependent upon foreigners" for sup-
plies of beef and mutton, and being dependent upon
them for supplies of bread ; and Some of the sagacious
and far-seeing men of the north have just discovered,
that if ss. be gained upon- corn, and 10s. lost upon
cattle, the balance will be taken out of their pockets,
not put into them. Our worthy contemporary, the
Dumfries Courier says :
" n Galloway, we understand, there are hundreds
of farmers who have no objection to the free im-
portation of corn, under a moderate fixed duty, or
even by the sliding scale as remodelled of late •
but who, at the same time, look forward with dread
to the competition threatened in the trade of
breeding by the introduction of stock—oxen, cows,
calves, sheep, pigs, and even goats. Considering how
differently society is constituted on the Continent of
Europe, such an arrangement,; in their estimation, will
prove alike hostile to the rental of the laird and the
profits of the tenant ; and in the case of such as are
saddled with a 3 per cent. income tax, on rents ex-
ceeding 1501., must cut, more or less, like a two-
edged sword, by augmenting goings out, and diminish-
ing comings in. The importation of salted provisions
is also objected to ; a duty of little more than a
half-penny per lb. is considered no protection what-
ever, looking to the llamburgh and other markets ;
and every one perceives, or at least dreads, that
the general tendency of the proposed tariff, as re-
gards agriculture, will press with unbearable severity
on the Scottish farmer. Again, crofters, or such
as pay their rents chiefly from the pigs they breed,
rear, and sell at the proper season, will be driven, it is
supposed, out of the market ; the bounty offered on
the importation of flitches and hams will tread on
many a sore heel in the north of Ireland ; and, alto-
gether, it is apprehended that a blow will be dealt to
agricultural enterprise, under the effects of which it
may stagger for years. Even the bacon-curers have
taken the alarm, and we heard of a posse of them
lately in Annandale, who have made up their minds
to a loss on their present stocks of not less than
2,0001. sterling."
Thus, Sir Robert Peel, who was to have settled
everything—who was to have given us tranquillity
and contentment at home—is in a fair way for un-
settling everything, and is spreading alarm and
dismay through nearly all classes of the commercial
and trading community.—Carlisle Journal.

FLANDERS MAIL.
A letter from Berlin of March 18, to the Cologne
Gazette, is as follows :—" I have refrained from
speaking to you of all the reports which have been in
circulation for this fortnight past, respecting a military
insurrection at St. Petersburg, because, they appeared
to me to be unworthy of credit. But, I now believe
that I may assure you, that however exaggerated all
the accounts in circulation may be, it is, however cer-
tain, that a regiment has been induced by its officers
to mutiny. This meeting, was, however, soon sup-
pressed by energetic measures. However, I com-
municated to you only as a report the following details.
The Emperor, it is said, hastened to proceed in
person to the barracks of the regiment which had
mutinied, and had nearly succeeded in bringing the
men back to a sense of their duty ; he represented
to them in impressive terms the criminality of their
proceedings, when an officer stepped forward to
seize him.

llis.Majesty killed the rebel and withdrew, seeing
that there were no hopes of prevailing by milder
Means over the misled soldiers. The barracks were
I immediately attacked, a great part of the rebels fell
with arms in their hands, and the rest were sent to
Siberia .the same day. We cannot say here what
truth there may be in the account, which, however,
is not imnrobable ; and it will not appear uninte-
resting if we think that a military revolt, howevii
unimportant, has taken place.
BERLIN, MARCH 9.—lt is related in the higher
circles that the two Royal houses of Prussia and Ha-
nover contemplate a furth* alliance with the Ducal
house of Dessau, which is nearly related to both of
them, by the intended betrothing (which some say is
alr,•.aay decided by both parties) of his Royal High.
ness the Crown Prince of Hanover to the Princess
Agnes of Anhault D'essau, and he is now here.
TURKEY.—Accounts from Constantinople of the 2d
of March, which have just been received, announces a
desperate attack of the Druses on the English and
American missionaries, whose establishment they de-
stroyed, and burned their books mid MSS. Several
Marionite convents are said to have been likewise
plundered and laid waste. The protest against the
Turkish Governor of Lebanon, continues to be made
at Constantinople. The Porte would not yield, but
the poWer of Izzet seems to be drawing to its close.

On Saturday, at the Surrey sessions, Solomon
Reeves, a labourer on the South Eastern Railway, was
indicted for an assault on Thomas Gower, on the evening
of the 22d of February, in the parish of Bletchingly.
It appeared that this case was connected with some of
those disgraceful transactions which hare lately occurred
on the railway lines. The defendant, with nearly a
hundred other labourers, forced an entrance into the
house of the prosecutor, who keeps a beer •shop, and sells
cheese and grocery, and demanded refreshments. They
were refused, and defendant then said he would break
the prosecutor's head and serve him the same as the.
others (alluding to two attacks and robberies committed
in the neighbourhood on the preceding day, for which
eleven men have been sentenced to fifteen years' trans-
portation). Ile then attempted to get over the counter,
but the prosecutor drew a pistol, and swore that the
first man who got over should receive the contents in
his head. The threat had the effect of causing the de-
fendant to withdraw himself a little, but ho subsequently
struck the prosecutor, who had put the pistol in his
pocket, several blows with his fists. A policeman was
called, but he was told that if he interfered they would
do for him, and he therefore retired ; he subsequently,
however, returned with a body of constables, and suc-
ceeded in spprehending the prisoner. The Jury brought
in a verdict of Guilty, and the Chairman, after animad-
vert e• on the gross character of the offence, and the,
