LADY BLESSINGTON'S NEW NOVEL,
""THE LOTTERY • OF LIFE."
" Lady Blessington's book has been vary pleasant reading to
us. It is gracefully w:itten throughout, and with a lively
pbwer of good-hearted ridicule. Lady lilessington excels in
what we.may call refined caricature, in which a spirit of frolic
exaggeration runs side by side,with,a cheerful fancy, shrewd
~bservstion, and • humour both sharp and genial. These
volumes 161 add to Lady Elessing'on's reputation- as a lively,
acute, and agreeable writer."—Examiner.

slavery AsSociation. Last year, Dr. LusmiNGTow,
and gentlemen like him, sacrificed the interest of their
constituents and of the empire to their connection
with such societies. We deplore what we regard as
Lord BROUGHAM'S erroneous opinion on the
sugar duties, by which he makes himself an advocate
for keeping wholesome food from the people of
England. Lord BROUGHAM'S error, it is plain, is the
growth of his long connexion with the Anti-Slavery
party. He has taken the lead amongst them, and all
his feelings and opinions have become so bound up
with their pursuits that he forgets what is now due
to the suffering people of England. On these grounds
we conclude that leading statesmen should stand aloof
from all Societies bound together by some principle
which is far less comprehensive than the general
welfare.

As far as we recollect, Sir R. PEEL has never made
himself conspicuous at any such meetings. He has
been the chief of a great political party, but never an
active leader of a clique. He has participated, we
recollect, at such meetings as those which were held
to do honour to WATT, SCOTT, and WILKIE, but he
never sought popularity by catering for a few enthu-
siastic philanthropists. We approve of that caution,
keeping himself separate from and above all minor
sections of the community ; and, approving of his
conduct, we regret to see the late leader of the House
of Commons taking a prominent part on Tuesday at
the meeting of the African Civilization Society.

In Lord JonN RUSSELL'S conduct, there seems to
us a great want of decorum. The public is still
smarting under the recollection of public money
wasted, and gallant lives lost, by the ill-contrived ex-
pedition to the Niger. It should, if possible, have
been buried in oblivion. Lord JOHN RUSSELL could,
unfortunately, boast that he had done his best to se-
cure that the expedition should be so fitted out as
would be most likely to secure success. In truth, the
public is made aware that but for his subserviency,
as a Minister, to the African Civilisation Society, at
least the cost of the expedition would not have been de-
frayed out of the public parse. Lord JOHN Rus-
SELCS appearance, therefore, at the meeting of the
Society, and his boast that he had taken part in fit-
ting out the expedition, is nothing less than an insult
to the public, whose interests he sacrificed, as a Mi-
nister, to serve the cause of that private Society of
which he is a member. His example confirms our
opinion, that a statesman, whether he be actually in
office, or a chief of the Opposition, should carefully
avoid becoming an active and passionate member of
any such Society.

What is very improperly ana very falsely called
the Royal Assent was last night given to the Income-
tax Bill. That measure is now the law of the
land. Her MAJESTY may possibly, by the advice
of her Ministers, go through the form of affixing her
name to the Commission, appointing certain dearly
beloved cousins and counsellors of her's to give her
nominal assent to the Bill, by which it is converted
into a law; but it is plain that her MAJESTY has no
more will in the matter, than one of the Ushers of
the House of Peers.

It was only on Tuesday night, about twelve o'clock,
that the Peers passed the Bill, and, legislatively speak.
ing, her MAJESTY could hear nothing of it before that
hour. In sixteen hours, however, from that time,
which would not suffice for the swiftest reader
to read the Bill through and understand it,
ner MAJESTY'S assent Ato it was formally sig.
nified. What is the plain inference from this, or
rather, what is the certain fact ? Why, the so-called
Royal Assent is not the assent of the QUEEN at all, but
the assent of the Minister to the Minister's tax. PEEL
ordains the Income-tax ; and PEEL forces it through
the House of Commons, as Sir R. VYVYAN has stated,
by a threat of resignation ; the House of Lords dare
not touch the Money Bill ; and then Dictator PEEL
issues directions to certain officers and certain Lords,
who go through a certain form—mocking Royalty—
and they give P EEL'S assent to PEEL'S ordained tax.
This Royal Assent is one of those shams or fictions
with which our law and Constitution abound, and
which shams and fictions, according to those who ex-
pound the law and the Constitution, are more essen-
tial to the preservation of society than all the daily
toils of all the artisans in the empire.
Her M.AsEsTr, Gon bless her ! has nothing to do with
giving any . assent to such an odious tax. It is a
calumny on her to assert that she assents to it. Sli"(:
is its victim, like the people. Her income is dimin-
ished as well as the wages of the bread-eating artisans
by the rapacity of the aristocracy. They sur-
round her with a gorgeous Court, which gives_great
salaries to themselves ; and the QUEEN, shorn of all
real power, a mere pageant in their hands, is held out
to 'the community as taking some 600,0001.
'a
-year, from the people, when. in fact she
gets little more than the tenth part of the
sum. The Lords and Ladies in Waiting, the Master
of the Buckhounds, &c., &c., have the bulk of -the
money amongst themselves. Her MAJESTY gives up a
part of her income to this tax, as the people must give
up a part of theirs. Now, as the Income-tax is the
consequence of the Corn-law, it follows that the
QUEEN is actually taxed to preserve the wealth of the
aristocracy. It results also from what we have said,
that what is called the Royal Assent is merely the
assent of the Minister, giving his own decree the so-
lemn sanctity and form of law.
A' great deal is said in both Houses of Parliament
about the advantages of monarchy, but they cannot
spring from the Monarch having here any power.
The President of the Republican United States has a
substantial monarchical legislative power, and he has
more than once thwarted, by his veto, the designs of
thwe who sought to oppress both the President and
the people. But our Monarch has no power to arrest
the progress of any bad,-Bill, except by breaking up
the Ministry, which, cannot be donee without the
consent of the Houses' of Parliament, and must
always cause
.great inconvenience. If her MA-
JESTY had any. such power, she would now be
besieged by the suffering people from one end of the
empire to the other, to give them relief by abrogating
the laws which cramp their industry and deprive
them of food. But it is due to her to make it now
widely known, that she has no real legislative Power ;
That it is all in the hands of the Ministers ; that the
Royal Assent is their assent ; and they ought not to
be allowed to hide their awful responsibility for the
present condition of the country behind the throne.

IVe learn with regret, that the Anti-Corn-law
League, as will be seen by an advertisement, is com-
pelled to postpone the general meeting, which is to
be hold in London, from the 27th inst. to the .sth
proximo. If the League is to do any good before the
Parliament prorogues, the first appointed day was not
too early for it to assemble.

Mr. WAity's motion in favour of the Ballot was relected
on Tuesday night, by an absolute :majority of 133—the
votes being, for the motion 157, against it 290. The
minority is sufficiently large to impress us with a con-
viction that it Must ultimately- triumph. From the
whole tone of the debate it is clear that many Tories
would vote for it, but for a dread that it would be fol-
lowed by an extension of the suffrage. We will deal
fairly with them. Assuredly it would ; otherwise it
were an evil instead of a good. A narrow suffrage and
the Ballot would but lead to an increase of bribery. But
what we desire to see is the extension of the suffrage
going hand in hand with the Ballot. Were it found im-
possible for them to accompany each other, we are for
giving precedence to the extension of the suffrage. A
•rood deal of nonsense was talked on Tuesdoy night about
the 'lnality of the Reform Bill. It appears that while the
'3allot and the duration of Parliaments were left open
luestions, a sort of compact NS as entered into that the
!Mil should be a final measure. Such a compact on the
dart of the Members of the Government was an uneon-
;titutional and scandalous assumption of a power which
Iyid nut belmtg to dent. It was not for them—it was

:ot fur the Kiso, to fix the limits or representation in
.his country. By whomsoever entered into, we
3enounce the compact as a foul conspiracy
against the constitutional rights of the British
people, and did we know a worse name to call it by, we
w.uhi apply it. The best and most eloquent speech of
the evening was delivered by Mr. Stum., in support of
In WARD'S motion. The Right Hon, the o Knight of
Netherhy," after his own heavy fashion, attempted to
ineer at the speech of the Right Honourable Gen-
tleman, as a repetition of one delivered by him
m a former debate on the same question. The me-
mory of the Home Secretary is more tenacious of
the speeches of Mr. Slum, than is that of the country of
any ever delivered by himself. We pledge ourselves
that Sir JAMES GRAHAM may make any one set of
speeches he ever delivered in Parliament serve him for
the remainder of his life, and if he only contrive to
ecure the silence of HANSARD'S people, the trick will
:lever b discovered. The Right lion. Baronet is safe

twitting Hon. Members for repeating themselves.
Retaliation is out of the question. Nobody thinks it
worth while to burden his recollection with his ponderous
common-places uttered for the nonce, because as a -Mi-
nister he mmt say something. _ _

Though as cordial and hearty supporters of the
3allot as Mr. WARD himself, provided it be accompanied
with a large extension of the suffrage, we continue to
think the time for bringing it before the House of Com-
mons exceedingly ill chosen. The country is in a state
Df great physical distress, so that with the working classes
it is a struggle for existence. They therefore can pay
no attention to politics. Those immediately above them
have their heads filled with the Income-tax, and the
Tariff, and the proceedings relative to the bribery
system carried on at the last election. Mr. WARD.
should have allowed the excitement upon these
luestions to have subsided before bringing on his
motion. He also :should have waited for the arms
with which Mr. ROEBUCK'S Committee will be sure
o supply him. In acting as he has done, he
has acted _ honestly, firmly, and consistently. ; but, in
mr humble opinion, he has not acted with the prudence
and foresight most conducive to the triumph of his
:ails's% There is a time for everything; but if one thing
be done out of time, it deranged all the rest. In the
midst of questions of so much greater moment, we fear
that the debate on the Ballot will sound in the public ear
too like an impertinence. We shall rejoice should we
find eurselves mistaken.

We bare received the whole of the Paris Journals.
Their leading articles are chiefly on the approaching
elections. The following, however, from the Globe, is
all that we find of the least interest on this subject :

" The public are aware that Parliamentary Reform is one of
the articles of the decalogse of the Opposition. Rather than
not expel public functionaries from the Chamber as men of
sordid and venal minds, the Opposition would, they say, submtt
to any extremes. It will be seen, however, that the Opposi-
lion, so ferocious as regards public functionaries who vote
against them, has bowels of compassion for those who vote with
them. The following is a little list of public functionaries re-
commended to the electors by three fanatics of Parliamentary
Reform—the Constitutionnel, the Siccle, and the Courrier
Francais" The Globe then enumerates thirty presidents of
tribunals, judges, and other public functionaries, and observes
that such inconsistency as this ought to open the eyes of even the
most credulous dupes of the party. The same Journal has the
following on the distress of the labouring population of Eng-
land. The reader will remember that the Globe is the avowed
organ of the French West India interest, and is, therefore,
always ready to throw doubt over the motives of the partisans of
negro emancipation, or on the value of the measure which they
advocate.—" It would be difficult to add anything to what
has been said resitecting the emancipation of the blacks in the
English colonies. We will ask, however, whether the blacks
in the English colonies are physically more happy than they
were during the time of their slavery ? This is doubtful ,• but
what is not at all doubtful is that the white labourers of Eng-
land are incontestably in such distress, that the greatest opti-
mist is alarmed at it, and the decadency of colonial agriculture,
owing to the enfranchisement of the blacks, is not one of the
slightest causes of this distress. The English Ministry is so
convinced of this, that all its efforts at this moment tend to ob-
taining the means of conveying Africans to Jamaica and the
other English possessions in the West Indies." The Debatshas
an article on the state of Syria. After alluding to the question put
in the Home of Lords by Lord Howden on this subject, and to
Lord Aberdeen's declaration that there is the most entire con-
cert on the part of all the Five Powers in the counsel given to
the Turkish Government with regard to the Government of
Syria, remarks We desire earnestly that this perfect con-
cord may continue, and be successful ; but it would have been
letter if it had not been required. We now behold before us
the brilliant consequences of the treaty of July. The four
Powers—for there were but four at first—were, it was said, to
free Syria from the cruel despotism of the Pacha of Egypt, and
to restore it to the paternal government of the Sultan. What
has been the end of these pompous promises? Syria has been
plunged into an anarchy more profound than ever, and we be-
hold the tribes of the Mountain, before restrained by the
strong hand of Ibrahim, now engaged in carrying on their
hereditary quarrels. The English agents had insurrectionized
Syria in 1840, in the name of independence, and Mr. Wood had
solemnly promised the population of the Lebanon, in the name
of England, to restore to them their privileges. The very
first act of the Porte has been to deprive them of the most
ancient of these rights, viz., the power of governing themselves,
and notwithstanding the protestations of the European Courts,
it has installed and maintains a Turkish Governor in the
Lebanon, which never up to the present time had been go-
verned otherwise than by Emirs. • Lately too, Sir R. Peel, de-
dared in the House of Commons that the Albanian troops,
which were levied by the Turkish Government, should never
be sent into Syria, because England had protested against
this measure, and yet a month afterwards these same troops
disembarked at. Beyrout. We do not deny that the people of
Syria were not also oppressed by the detested 3oke of Mehemet
Ali, but, at least, the Pacha of Egypt felt the necessity of
conciliating the Christian Powers, and was thus constrained, if
ho did net do so willingly, to make very ample concessions.
At present the Porte, re-established in what is called the in-
tegrity of its empire, laughs at those who for this work en-
dangered the repose of Europe. It cost great trouble, and
they were obliged to divide themselves into pieces—four at all
events—te disturb the peace;and they require to be five to re-
store it. We are clearly of opinion that France should not
keep herself apart from the other Powers through rancour or
any ill feeling, for the ill consequences of such a separation
would fall on the innocent Christian populations of the Levant.
We confine ourselves to merely mentioning the sad results
of a coalition which has not even restored peace to the East,
in. compensation for the derangement which it caused in the
West."

All these laws are dated the 11th of May.
On the 16th inst., at six in the evening, the chasseurs
of the garrison of Tarbes were leading their horses for exercise
in the great court-yard of the riding-school, the weather was
perfectly serene, and no threatening appearance was observed
in the atmosphere, only a storm seemed to be gathering at a
distance above Bagneres. All at once there was a tremendous
clap of thunder, and eleven horses, with their riders, were
thrown to the ground. One man and eight horses were killed
by the stroke ; two men were taken to the hospital, one of them
in a most deplorable condition; it is hoped that the other will
be saved. Among the men who were thrown down, one was
leasing three horses, he received no injury but some slight
marks in the hand that held the reins. His cap was carried off
except the brim, which remained on his forehead. —Consti-

CITY TOWN CLERK.—The election for this important
office takes place this day, the principal candidates are
Mr. Sergeant Merewether and Mr. Pritchard. The
latter gentleman has been long connected with the Cor-
poration of London, and has had many honours conferred
on him for his services to the City. Be is well acquainted
with the bye-laws, charters, customs, and privileges of
the City of London, and from his independent character,
his habits of business, and general knowledge of all that
relates to the first commercial corporation in the world,
he may be safely recommended as a fit candidate for the
office.

A FEW MELANCHOLY THOUGHTS ON THE INCOME-
TAX.—That precious Tory impost, the Income-tax,
passed the House of Lords on Tuesday, and will receive
the Royal assent this clay. The public, therefore, may
shortly expect to be in the full enjoyment of this inesti-
mable financial blessing ; for the machinery for working
it is all prepared, and in a few clays the tax-gatherers will
be everywhere on the march, each as busy as his respected
sire is said to be in a high wind. Such a cloud of locusts!
Not a decent house in the country will be safe from their
cahtmitous visitation. Take the wings of the morning, and
tlee unto the uttermost parts of England, still you shall not
escape the tax-gatherer and his oppressive importunities.
Talk of light sovereigns ! Light as they may be now,
they will be much lighter by and bye, when our clear
delightful Tory PrNmer has " sweated" sevenpence out
of each one of them. We can imagine the long faces
that will be universally prevalent, when Peel's Familiars
are put into the full possession of their inquisitorial
powers, and insist on every decayed gentleman and
tradesman acquainting them with the most secret history
of their delicate distresses for the last three years.
There must be no shirking—no evasion—no showing
to the door, or flooring with a cross •buttock—the
Familiar must be treated with forbearance, and
his questions answered to the minutest point. Not the
slightest allowance will be made for any expectoration of
bile, on the part of the sufferer. If as is perfectly
natural, and indeed praiseworthy, under the circum-
stances—he consigns the " eyes " of his catechist to
perdition, he will be instantly visited with a penalty of
live pounds; if he evince a determination to be mute,
he will be fined fifty ; and if, in the warmth of the moment, he
proceed to violent extremities, he will most probably be
recommended by some polite Magistrate to try the air
Brixton for a month ! " WANTS A SITUATION "
will shortly, we confidently predict, be •the heading of

every third advertisement in the Times and other
Journals, for one of the first results of the Income-
tax will be to throw servants out of employ by
thousands. In the butler's pantry there will be weeping
and gnashing of teeth ; and in the scullery, Dolly, the
cook-maid, will be seen giving her last brush to the cob-
webs, and her last kick to the cat, previous to her final
exit from that kitchen, where she held divided authority
with the cook fur years. And yet Sir Robert Peel tells
us that his tax will not affect the poorer classes ! We
tell him, in reply, that it will be found, in the long run,
to be the greatest curse that has been inflicted on them
for years
THE REFORM CLUB.—An excellent lithographed er-
graving of the kitchen department of the Reform Club
has just been published by Mr. Alexis Soyer, the dis-
tinguished artiste who presides over that most important
division of the establishment. Mr. Soyer has the merit
of having designed the plan of a kitchen, admitted
b 1 all the Noblemen - and Gentlemen who have
visited it—and the list . includes more Peers than
voted last night against the third reading of the Income-
tax Bill—to be one of the best contrived in the king-
dom, not excepting the kitchen department of Winthor
Castle. We have heard much lately of desertions
from the Tory camp, and we have not the least doubtthat
they are owing to the admirable condiments of which Mr.
Soyer is so inimitable a purveyor. Mrs. Soyer has ac-
quired a European reputution in a far higher branch of
art. Few visitors of the Royal Academy and the
British Institution, are unacquainted with her very
clever pictures. Though an Englishwoman, she is
better known as an artist in Paris than in London.

The trial of the recent coinages in the Pix of the Mint
took place yesterday in the Exchequer. The Lord Chan-
cellor, Lord Munteagle, the Duke of Baccleuch, the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Other Prive Councillors
were present. The Jury were composed exclusively
of goldsmiths, who were sworn to assay the different spe-
cimens of coinage delivered to their charge in order
to ascertain if they were of the requisite Stand-
ard; according to the proposition specified in the Acts
regulating the currency. The Lord Chancellor delivered
the charge to the Jury, who afterwards retired to com-
mence their duties, by melting the different coins, and
then testing them, to ascertain it' the proportions of gold
and silver were correct.

The explanation given by Sir George Cockburn to the
charge that some sailors, late paid off from a ship of war, had
received their wages in light sovereigns, is strongly corrobora-
tive of the view of the question which has been taken in The
Sun. The Government stand completely exonnerated from
that portion which relates to cheating the sailor', but not by
any means from the condemnation for exposing them, and the
poorer classes as well, to be cheated by those to whom the
coin was tendered. It is now admitted by a servant of the
Crown, that a trade is being carried on in the coin of the realm,
be it light, or be it of standard weight ; and it can only be con-
cluded that the whole of the gold now in general circulation is,
by the late measure, greatly depreciated. The evil has already
been seriously felt, but enough still remains unpresented to
render it expedient to give some relief. The scarcity of silver
remains unabated, and it is to he feared that, if means be not
adopted to increase the amount, more serious consequences may
.arise

(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The firmness of the Market is still maintained, and
Consols at one period were worth 91i, but some sales made on
private account. lowered the prices to the same rate as at the
commencement of business. Consols are now 913 for the
opening, ex div. • Three per Cents. Reduced, 913 91i; Three-
and-a-Half per eents., 991 100 ; Ditto, Reduced, 100 h 100 i;
Bank Stock, 1664 167%; India Bonds, 23 24; Exchequer
Bills, Old, 45 47; New, 40 42 premium.
The prices of Foreign Securitieiare steady and unvaried from
yeserday. The transactions have been confined to Dutch Two-
and a-Half per Cents., 521 ; Belgian, 1024 ; and Chilian, 87.
Mexican is quoted tisi 364.
Brighton' Railroad Shares continue to improve, the price
now being 36, and the loan notes A 13 premium. The other
business has been, London and Birmingham, 176; York and
North Midland Quarters, 323 ; Croydon, 13 ; and Chelten-
ham and Great Western, 274.
The quotations of the Bonds and Portuguese Five per Cents.,
373 ; and Spanish Three per Cents., 231 23i.
Although the intelligence from Spain should have improved
the quotations of the Bonds, were there any intrinsic value in
them, the contrary has been the result. • Yesterday it was
announced that some revolutionary movements had been suc-
cessfully put down, and that the difficulties lately consequent
upon the formation of a Ministry had been overcome. To-
day the dividend due on the 30th instant is advertised
to be paid at the promised period. Yet such -is the distaste now
evinced towards these documents, that circumstances which in
ordinary times would have caused a considerable rise, at pre-
sent have a contrary effect. It is clearly seen that
the credit of Spain is not to be supported by a
driblet of 20,0001., when the amount which ought to be
paid is 2,000,000/. annually to the foreign creditor. The very
means by which this paltry sum has been procured are con-
sidered to be in themselves sufficient to destroy any good effect
the distribution might have. It is thought that it is not by bor-
rowing at the last moment the amount necessary to pay a demand
of interest, such being added to the principal, that national or
individual credit can be. sustained. And that,:too, at a time
when the whole of the old debt is virtually repudiated, no pro-
vision made for, or the slightest notice taken of the Four per
Cent. Stock or Treasury Bonds ; but every preference, if pre-
ference it can be called, is given to the debt last contracted,
and which is to be thrown overboard at the earliest convenient
moment. _

There are numerous ship letters to .day, but none of more re-
cent date than accounts previously received.
