pay of the troops in garrison in Paris and the banlieue.
The Minister also demanded several large .sums for in-
creasing the number of officers in the new staff arrange-
ments for the general inspection of gendarmerie ; for
expenses of the reserve ; for allowing a higher price for
horses ; for increase of charges in the transport of bag-
gage, and for some changes in the home service. A dis-
cussion arose on each of these points, and several of
these items were reserved, notwithstanding the argu-
ments of the Marshal. The budget for the marine,
divided into two sections, amounts to 98,763,026 f., in-
cluding 4,440,000 f. for extraordinary works already
authorised, and 2,400,000 f. for the construction of trans-
atlantic packet-boats. Putting aside these two charges,
both temporary, the budget for the marine amounts to
91,923,026 f. The Committee was unanimously of opinion
hat no r eduction was required in this part of the budget.

LONDON:
TIIURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 31, 1842.

The Corn-law seems almost forgotten, while
public attention is wholly absorbed by the more
pressing interest of an income tax, from which
there will be, by all whose incomes are above
150/. a year, no escape but by evasion and fraud.
Not unappropriately, however, is the " Report
of the Statistical Committee of the Anti-Corn-law
Conference" published, because as the people
feel or fear the pressure of the income tax, they
ought to be reminded that the necessity for it
grows from the Corn-law. The complaint of the
Government is that the revenue does not equal
the expenditure. It is quite certain that the
revenue depends mainly on the number of
people, and equally certain that the Corn-law,
during all the years it has been in existence, has
every 3 ear shortened the supply of food, and
considerable increase f
prevented a o people. It
has prevented, therefore, a corresponding in-
crease of revenue,
and has begotten the Ministe-
rial necessity for now levying an income tax on
the middle classes.
It must‘no t be supposed that a 1 i ncrease ofpeople
carries with it a corresponding increase of expense
and. a correspondinz extension of the duties of
Government. One Sovereign, one Cabinet, one
Commander-in-Chief, one Board of Admiralty,
one series of tribunals, can as easily perform
all the duties of governing 20,000,000 people as
10,000,000. Nor does the increase of people at

UNION-HALL.

HORRIBLE REVENGE.—A warrant was applied for
against a woman named Dowddl, for throwing a quan-
tity of vitriol in her husband's face.
A policeman of the M division stated that, while on
duty the preceding night, his attention was called on
hearing the groans of a man near the " Bull" public-
house, in the New Kent-road. He immediately pro-
• ceeded to the spot, and saw a man, who appeared to be
in great agony, with his handkerchief up to his face, and
he complained that his wife, from whom he had been
living apart for the last two months, had the moment
before watched him as he came out of the Bull, and
flung a quantity of vitriol in his face, a portion of which
went into one of his eyes, and gave him the most excru-
ciating pain. The policeman added, that on perceiving
the condition of the unfortunate man, he led him to the
Hospital, and the surgeon, on examining the sufferer,
was of opinion that he must lose the sight of one of his eves.
The Magistrate said that no warrant was required in
such a case, and directed the police to apprehend the
woman the moment they saw her, and bring her before
him, to answer for her diabolical conduct.
CLESKEIV WELL.

A fashionably dressed young man, who gave his name
as C.iarles Reeves, was charged by police constable 89
E.,
with twisting the knocker off the door of the house
of Mr: Hopkins, 4, Southampton-row, Russell-square.
FrOm the evidence, it appeared that the prisoner, with
two others, had been amusing themselves at the expense
of their neighbours, in the above mentioned place, at
half-past 12 on Tuesday night: The policeman, who sus-
pected they were mischievously inclined, watched them
narrowly, and succeeded in arresting the prisoner, with
the knocker in his handkerchief ; he at once threw it
into the stre-et, exclaiming, that the policeman had not
seen him twist it off, though he might have done so.
That he was willing to pay the owner for the damage
done, and let there be no more about it.
Mr. Coomee.—What are you ? Prisoner—Nothing.
Mr. COOMBE—DO you allege you did not commit the
act ? Prisoner—Oh, I believe I did.

Yesterday was the anniversary of the Sicilian Vespers,
in 1282. At the hour of vespers the inhabitants ofFalermo
flew to arms, and fell upon their French oppressors, who
were all massacred. In April the town of Messina fol-
lowed this example.
The funeral of the Earl of Munster took place in
St. Mary's, Hampton, on Tuesday. This fabric, built in
the 14th year of Richard 11., originally consisted of
only one aisle, but from time to time, it was enlarged,
and Sir Christopher Wren designed and added a tower.
It then became dilapidated, and the first stone of the
present edifice was laid in April 1830, by the late
King, then Duke of Clarence. The interior contains
many monumental brasses, and the arms of the Munster
family.

serted (to their disgrace be it said) in almost every other

worthy step, and those papers which do not follow your
step now, will, by continuing them, show to the world
that they are only influenced by " filthy lucre. Offering
my personal thanks.—Your's, &c.

LAW INTELLIGENCE,
INSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY)

IN RE ROSSETT4,J.IIILLII.S.

The insolvent in this case wns mother of the Messrs.
Phillips, the extensive lamp-manufacturers of Regent-
street, against whom a fiat of bankruptcy had lately
issued. She became liable for a very large sum on their
account by joining them in bills of exchange, upon which
she was eventually sued, and the detaining creditor in
the present instance was the solicitor engaged in those
actions. _ _

• Mr. COOK supported the application to be discharged
on bail.

Miss Fanny Phillips, the insolvent's daughter, said
that she claimed all the interest in the furniture and title
of the house, No. 291 Portman-place, Edgware-road, by
right of certain sums of money advanced to her brother
previous to their bankruptcy. The house and furniture
was their property alone, and the insolvent had no right
or title in them whatever.

Mr. Commissioner HARRIS said this would be a sub-
ect for investigation more properly under the fiat against
he Messrs. Phillips than in this Court.
Bail having been justified in the sum of 1,0001. respec-
tively, the insol vent was liberated until the day of hearing.
London, England, 1842-03-31

FASHIONS FOR APRIL.

(From the London and Paris Ladies' Magazine of
Fashion.)
Mousselines de lain seem to be entirely replaced
among the more elegant Parisian belles by barege,
made either of worsted and silk, or all worsted, which,
with organdys de laMe, taffetas glace, foulards watered
or illustres, barpours d'ete, &c. &c., now divide favour.
Most of the materials for dresses this spring are
either striped, or with running patterns of pines, in
the cachemire style. For the promenade or simple
toilette, the stomacher bodies are less used ; the
corsage a l'Amazone is preferred, and is better suited
for embroidery : the tight sleeves and large pelerine
are suitable for this style ; the redingote form is
also very much in favour, generally accompanied
with the pelerine cardinal ; the fashionable colours
are orange, garnet, blue myosotis, but more particu-
larly grey and green.. In evening dresses the double
skirts continue to be worn, even in satin, when they
are of two colours, the upper not descending lower
than the knee.

Crispins Pompadour, trimmed all round with gimp,
and a large kind of pelerine, termed trabbees, reach-
ing to the knee, are made of shot silks : they have
armholes, or are raised by means of a running-cord ;
the whole trimmed round with a pinked niche of a
showy colour. A new style of scarf is composed of
bouillons of glace silk, the whole length of the scarf,
divided by bands of gimp, which, being open, show
the lining of coloured silk ; others, in the same style,
form pelerine, which is plain, with the ends only in
bouillons. Velvet scarfs, shaded and embroidered, in
Turkish patterns, satin ones, and foulards de Chine,
with those of cachemire, embroidered with a Turkish
border, and finished with large pine, are among the
novelties of the moment.

The pelerines cardinal are very pretty, made en-
tirely of inlets of Valenciennes lace, divided by em-
broidery, and finished all round with a broad Valen-
ciennes lace. Pocket handkerchiefs of batiste
Ananas divide favour with those made with inlets
of Valenciennes.

Satin, paille de riz, and crape, are the materials
now in use for bonnets : the form rather approaches
the bibi form, and the flowers are rather in bunches
than drooping ; indeed a total change is threatened in
this point—as, in Paris they are forming the flowers
to stand up, both for bonnets and coiffures : pink,
straw colour, light green, &c.; are the shades in,
fashion. Capotes of white satin are lined with pink,
which is sometimes entirely covered with point lace,
but coloured linings are much used.

CORONERS' INQUEST.

Yesterday a long investigation took place before Mr.
Wakley, M.P., in the University College Hospital, on
the body of Elizabeth Gwilym, aged 80, lately residing
at No. 3, Fleur-de-lis-court, Fetter-lane.

Ann Gloster said that she was 82 years of age, and
lived in the same room as deceased. The only means of
support the deceased had was 2s. 6d. per week and a
loaf of bread from St. Dunstan's parish, and witness
earned a little now and then by nursing. On Wednes-
day afternoon last the deceased and she went to church
together, and on coming out deceased said if she would
go with hor she would try and walk as far as her sister's.
The deceased was exceedingly feeble from want of food,
and on arriving at the corner of Guildford-street the
wind was so powerful that it blew deceased down with
great violence. She exclaimed, " Oh, Ann, I've broke
my leg." A policeman came and picked her up and car-
ried her to that hospital
By the CORONER—For three days before we had
scarcely anything to eat, and all that we had on the
Wednesday between us was the half of a pennyworth of
tea and the half of a penny loaf. The deceased had to
pay the entire 2s. 6d. she received from the parish per
week for the room. The deceased would not go into the
workhouse of the West London Union, as she had a
great aversion to it.
Mr. Carhill, the house-surgeon, deposed to deceased's
admission to the hospital on Wednesday afternoon. She
was labouring under fracture of one of the thigh-bones,
but very slight. Her appearance indicated extreme des-
titution, and she seemed in a dying condition: He gave
her wine and other nourishment, but she lingered till

death was mainly attributable to destitution, and the
want of the common necessaries of life, but no doubt ac-
celerated by the fall.

siomers, that aged and infirm poor who had an aversion
to entering a union workhouse, could, by obtaining the

system of society are as miserable and defective as
ever they were. It is, therefore, clear that they are
the source of the misery and wretchedness that now

exists. •
Immutable and. 'just principles govern, with un-
erring precision, the most minute, as well as the most
stupendous, of created "Sowers. It is rezlsonable, there-
fore, to infer, that the social condition of man is also
governed by immutably true and just principles, and
that the decay and destruction of all former nations,
and our own wretchedness, has been, and is caused
by ignorance of, and want of obedience to these laws.
The desire of happiness is indestructible in man ;
and I believe, that in a just state, of society, this all-
powerful propensity shall be directed to, and find un-
limited elements of gratification, in advancing and
increasing, with all its might, and all its strength, the
weal, comfort, and happiness of the whole community.
Hitherto that great and good principle, misdirected
by ignorance and folly, has been the bane and de-
struction of all the communities and nations of the
earth. _ _ _

At the present moment, confined to miserably sel-
fish and grovelling purposes, it is crushing millions
into misery and the dust, rending asunder all the
kindly feelings and sympathies of our nature ; for a
man is considered wise and prudent, according as be
can steel himself to throw them overboard ; in a word,
the present system of society is a mere selfish scramble,
where thousands are trampled under foot, and all the
ties of nature broken and dissevered, while, at the
same time, untold wealth—wealth sufficient for all—is
wasted and destroyed in the maddening excitement,
and insane career of ignorance, selfishness, and folly.
Trusting, however, in the progressive intelligence of
our race, I believe that, ere long, error, ignorance and
folly, must give place to truth and justice.

BO TV-STREET.

SINGULAR CHARGE.— Thomas Hancock, a private
soldier in the Grenadiers, and who we observed bore a
stripe for good conduct, and Janc Coleman, a pretty
young woman, were placed at the bar on suspicion of
stealing an infant, three weeks old, under the following
extraordinary circumstances :

John Brevi''er, the complainant, who is a porter at
Covent-garden-market, stated that last night about seven
o'clock, he and his wife, with their two children, one a
baby of three weeks old and the other a child two-and-
a-half years old, fell into company with the two pri-
soners, and went to the Sugar Loaf, King-street,
Drury-lane, where they drank about two pots of porter
together. Soon after this witness's wife said she wanted
to go home for a little time; upon which the female prisoner
said ". Give me your baby, I'll take care of it for you." The
mother then went away, and witness and the prisoners
resumed their seats. Shortly afterwards, however, the
female prisoner got up, and was going out. Witness
asked her where she was going to, and the soldier re-
plied, " Oh, it's all right ; let her go." She then went
out, and, not returning in half an hour, witness began
to feel uneasy, and asked the male prisoner where the
woman was gone with his baby. He replied, " I dDn't
know; let 's go and look for her." They then went out,
but not succeeding in finding her, witness gave the pri-
sonerinto custody, as an accomplice. From in.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—The proposed income tax, I hold to be
uncalled for, and unjustifiable—it is an inquisi-
torial, and un-English (to coin a word) tax ; and
I trust it will be petitioned against, in so general
a way, that it will never pass into a law for the
following reasons :
Ist. There is no other necessity for it than
- .
that Is ~+!_ie most popular way of raising money,
and which ani Administration would have done,
by taking from the industrious and moral class a,
per centag, e on • !)-leir industry and providence,
allowing those who 2re improvident to go un-
taxed. The Pacha of Eg).-Does the same, by
some pretext or other, the moment any of his
subjects have more than 1501. per aria: um ; and
how does his Administration work ? 11/;,:y no
man there thinks of acquiring more than to sup
ply his daily wants.
2. There are abundance of means of raising
the required money without resorting to the in-
quisitorial means of obliging every one to open
his private accounts and affairs to the tax-
gatherer, and to become liable to vexatious and
endless surcharges, &c. The-preposterous con-
tinuance of the penny postage, lvlien no one
would object to an additional charge of one
penny on each additional distance of 100 miles
from London ; a further tax on spirits ; one on
salt, wool, &e., and articles of luxury, would be
clearly preferable ; in fact, anything but the
proposed inquisition on property and income,
which can only be justified on the principles of
the press-gang. The Whig
_Administration
might easily have done the same thing ; but I
hope a discriminating people will rouse them-
selves for once, and show by their numerously
and influentially signed petitions that the pre-
sent Administration is not entitled to the confi-
dence of the country; that, instead of reforming
and reducing the expenditure, they merely seek
the bringing about a levelling system by taxa-
tion, a la Pacha of Egypt, for the sake of
popularity, defying the only dais that has kept
them, and put them in power, and that has been,
and is, the very strength. and power of this
great and commercial country, by taxing them
exclusively and inquisitorially, and by a tax that
was pledged to be only a war tax.—l have the
honour to remain, Sir, your -ohefgent servant,

HOLIDAY AMUSEMENTS.

WESTMINSTER ABBEY, NATIONAL GALLERY, &n.
NATIONAL GALLERY.—During these last two days
this public exhibition has been completely besieged with
visitors, who poured in, in one continued stream, from the
opening to the closing of the doors. It was computed
that upwards of 13,000 persons visited the gallery on.
Monday, and 10,000 Tuesday ; consequently, the rooms
were crowded to suffocation. _ _

WESTMINSTER ABBEY.—At this venerable and splen-
did structure the visitors were very numerous both on
Monday and Tuesday—tar exceeding any previous
similar occasion, which probably may home arisen from
the circumstance of the admission fees having been
reduced to 6d.- since June last. If this fact were more
generally known very few persons would neglect to in-
spect this gorgeous pile. As it is, however, there have
been upwards of 1,000 visitors within these two days, a
great portion of whom were foreigners, who it appears
generally make this one of the lions of attraction when
they visit London for the first time. The internal regu-
lation is under the superintendence of Mr. Foster Owen,
the high constable of Westminster, and he reports that
the visitors observe the strictest propriety.
ST. PAUL'S C ITIIEDRAL.—The visitors here were
very few indeed, which may be attributed to the high rate
of admission (4s. 2(1.) which is still continued. The
number could not be ascertained, but are supposed not
to have exceeded 50. _ _

THE TOWEL—The number of visitors to the ruins of
the small armouries and the Crown jewels yesterday con-
siderably exceeded that of Monday. The exceedingly
fine weather of Tuesday, and the opening' of the new
jewel office becoming more generally known to the pub-
lic, caused an additional influx of visitors.

PETTY SESSIONS, WESTMINSTER.—SeveraI officers
of the Court of Chancery and the Law Conrts have
apartmeLts in Westminster Hall, from which time imme-
morial latte been considered extra parochial. Lately,
however, the overseers of St. Margaret's claimed pay-
ment from the different occupants of poor-rates, police-
rates,
&c., to which an appeal was made, and yesterday
came one for hearing before the Magistrates in Putty
Sessions. The Justices dismissed the appeal, and ordered
the payment of the rates to be enforced, thereby de-
ciding that the apartments in question are not extra pa-
rochial. Mr. Pemberton, Solicitor to the Woods and
Forests, attended for the appellants, and requested that
notice should be given to him before any distress warrant
was issued, as probably further proceedings might be
taken.

BERMONDSEY.

At eleven o'clock a vestry meeting was held for thy
election aid nomination of the various officers for the
year ensuing, but so little interest was excited in tit
parish, that not twenty inhabitants assembled. The
various persons who had been named by the late officers
were put in nomination, and there being no opposition,
they were duly elected, and within the hour the proceed-
ings of the vestry terminate&

LAW REPORTS.—The decisions of the different.
Law Courts have become extremely voluminous. Ne
fewer than three of the present Judges were reporters in
the Common Law Courts--viz., Mr. Baron Alderson,
Mr. Justice Maule, and Mr. Justice Cresswell. Sir J.
B. Bosanquet, the late Judge of the Common Pleas, also
published a series of reports of cases, as did Lord Camp-
bell when at the bar. These reports are recognised by
the Courts as authorities, and are frequently referred to,
under their several titles of " Barnewell and Alderson,:
" Barnewell and Cresswell," "Maule -and Selwyn,,"
" Bosanquet and Buller," and " Camnhell's
Deports, Bcc.
Sir George Rose, the late Judge of the Court of Review,
"
and present Master in Chancery, formerly published
re-
ports of cases in bankruptcy, and the late Mr. Justice
Taunton's cases are well known.

Greenwich Palace was the favourite residence of
Anne Boleyn. The Park was laid out in the same style
as her native Bickling, and planted under her dim•
tions with the same kind of trees.
