mcPsr/A.y "MORNING, MAY 23, 1842.

Amongst the votes for, the Navy, agreed to on
Friday night, was one for the sum of 407,5491. for the
Contract Packet Service; for the Post-ofilee Depart-
ment. It exceeds the sum voted last year by 178,1421.
The principal portion of the increase is 160,0001., for
steam vessels to and from Liverpool and the West
Indies ; a service, of which hitherto there has been
more complaint than approbation. The whole amount
voted for that service this year is 240,0001.
The several mails between Hamburgh and London,
and Rotterdam, Falmouth, Vigo, Oporto, and Gib-
raltar, Liverpool and Halifax, Bermuda and St.
John's, cost collectively 135,2191. The bulk of
that expense is
.incurred almost exclusively for the
advantage of'the wealthy mercantile classes, and the
promotion:of commerce. We do not object to the ex-
penditure ; we think money employed in increasing
the communication between distant countries is
well laid out ; we only wish to make the mercantile
classes and the public aware of the money which
is now expended for the promotion of commerce; It
is not above three years, we believe, since the first
vote was passed for Cunard's line of packets, and the
whole of this vote is nearly of modern origin. If by
this mode of expending the public money, the national
'greatness be augmented, it is of such great advan-
tage to merchants that by it the wealth of many indi-
viduals must be increased.
A small part of this money is recovered on post-
age for letters, but the bulk of it is taken from the
public funds to promote trade. If to this expense of
packets, we add the expense of consuls, ships of war.
and various public establishments only necessary for
the protection of commerce, we may conjecture that
not less than a 1,000,0001. a-year of the public money
is employed to protect and promote foreign trade.
In our judgment that is a liberal and wise policy ;
but what can be said at the same time in favour of
those restrictive laws which prevent foreign trade, or
cut it up by the roots ? On the one hand, the Legis-
lature gives the public money to promote trade, on
the other, it continually passes laws to impede, curb,
and stifle trade. Is not this a picture of a house di-
vided against itself?—of a man struggling to win a
race, and yet chaining his own legs ? Let the House
of Commons either spare the public purse, or set trade
free, so that it may yield back to the state the taxes
laid out to promote it.

The liitutoWners" seem determined to worry Sir R.
PEEL about the importation of cattle. On Friday
Mr. PUSEY gave notice, " in the event of Mr. Muss'
motion," to take the duty on cattle by weight being
negatived, " that he will move the following series of
resolutions on going into Committee on the Customs'
Bill, the reasoning of which the double-faced Premier
will find it, we apprehend, inconvenient to answer.

- -
1. That a Bill had passed in the
present session
eorn, loialli e
pro-
tecting the growth, not of wheat only, but also of other
usually called spring
grains, "y, oats, beans,
and pease, more or less employed the fattening of I
cattle.
4a.lollar.ge part
2. That the price of such grain forming
showing that
of the cost of meat, and experience furhaelirie,
corn and meat rise or fall together in
ing duty on foreign meat and cattle ought top protect-
ing
proportion to the protecting duty on foreign spring corn..
3. That, although the average duties at which foreign
spring corn will be entered for home consumption, can•
not be precisely calculated beforehand, it appears suf-
ficiently that the duty of Ss. per cr..t. proposed in the
tariff will not give an amount of protection equal to that
-which the Cora-bill will afford upon spring corn, and
that the two measures are therein at Variance with each
other.
_ 4. That in the tariff the duty of Ss. per cwt. on
foreign meat is also in'.!onsistent with the duty or 14s.
pttr. cwt. upon bacon, the cost of producing' the two
a telimg not differing in the proportion of 3 and 14,
c, nsequently, that, if a duty of 14s. on bacon be an
etluitable amount o': protection, the duty of Ss
/Lust be clearly e,
_acteiwite.
5. That even -
if the duty of 8s per cwt. on meat were
a sufficient protection that protection would be rendered

7. That suth an enactment would contradict the whole

on meat

course e our commercial policy, and the avowed prin-
ciple of the tariff, by repelling the importation of the raw
material (spring corn), which affords employment to
labour in the feeding of cattle, in favour of the finished
article, fat stock, which it would admit almost duty free.
8. That cattle being now fattened extensively upon arable
land, with food often purchased by enterprising farmers
at the expense of many hundred pounds in a year, not
With a view to profit on the price of the animals, but
.simply to the production of dung, the improvement of
Agriculture would be greatly hindered, if encouragement
;were given to the constant importation of fat stock, in
;preference to the occasional introduction of those grains
lon which cattle are fed.
9. That the levy of an equal fixed duty per head upon
lean and fat cattle would also tend to discourage, com-
paratively, the entrance of the unfinished product or lean
animal, which affords employment to the farm labourer,
and to impede the production of manure, according to the
improved method of husbandry.
10. That the proposed duties, so far as they apply
to
lean stock, would not afford to the occupies of farms in
exposed and inferior situations, whose chief dependence
is placed in the breeding and sale of store cattle, protec-
tection commensurate to that which is held out to the
grower of grain by the Corn-bill.
11. That if a small supply of foreign cattle and meat
be expected to arrive, it is still inexpedient to impose in
the tariff conflicting rates of duty upon meat, and upon
cattle fit for immediate consumption as meat, but that if
such a supply be looked forward to as would materially
reduce the value of live stock at home, it would be highly
unjust to take away indirectly, by means of the tariff,
that protection which the Corn Bill has recently. given.
12. That further inquiry be, therefore, instituted
into a proposal which deeply involves the property of
farmers, and has alarmed them the more, because in the
Corn Bill they have only exchanged one scheme of mo-
fied protection for another ; but in the tariff are unex-
pectedly called upon to pass at once from absolute pro-
hibition to virtual free trade.
We and all free-traders could at once get rid of

Mr. PUSEY'S statements, but we do not see how Sir
R. PEEL, who has just induced the House of Com-
mons to pass a law to secure, as it is called, a certain
degree of protection to the landowner can now pass
another law, which diminishes that or takes it away.
There are various other amendments to be proposed
In the tariff which depend, like that of Mr. Pusrx's,
on the relative cost of different articles, like spring
corn and fatted cattle. To ascertain that, and to be
able to adjust accurately all the different shades of pro-
tection proportionate to prices, our legislators ought to
be intimately conversant with all the details of every
trade in the country, otherwise they will give, ac-
cording to Mr. PUSEY'S statement, an inadequate
amount of protection to one article or another. But
no legislators can be acquainted with all these details.
Neither the cost of spring corn, nor the cost of fatten-
ing
-cattle, is a certain and definite sum; it varies with
the seasons and with places, and the protection which
would be ample for the fat vale of Evesham would be
wholly insufficient for the stony hills of Berkshire.
Even farmers or traders can scarcely be acquainted
with all these particulars ; and if they were, nobody
Ase would say that they should be suffered to make
or dictate the laws by which other people are to buy
:heir produce. The difficulty of adjusting a scale of
protection between cattle and corn, and between them
:lid all other commodities, is not an argument for

.adopting Mr. PUSEY'S scale, but for scouting alto-
gether such pettyfogging halfpenny-farthing legisla-
tion. At the same time as Sir ROBERT PEEL
adopts, and acts on the principle of adjusting protect-
Jig duties, we hope that Mr. PUSEY may persevere
with his amendment, that he may be supported by all
the landlords in Parliament, and that he may annoy
.tud perplex the self-sufficient Premier.

The title of the Louis PHILIPPE of our system,
which we assigned to Sir ROBERT PEEL, somewhat
:core than a month ago, is so appropriate, that other
Journals have given him the same name,. His mea-
3ureS•have accorded with no man's expectations—they
:hill'. the wishes of no . clasi—they are not compre-
hensively just—they are not even temporarily expe-
dient—they neither mitigate present distress, nor pro-
mise much for the future. One of them is a great
addition" to the public burdens—yet they are all car-
lied, or certain to be carried, and what he ordains
is sure to become law. He has thwarted and opposed
the landowners and monopolists, who brought him
in ; he has not courted the assistance of the free-traders,
who strove to keep him out ; but there he" stands in
Parliament, superior to them all—one party ready to
do his bidding, when the other party declines. These
are all plain and palpable facts, observed and recog-
nised by almost every journalist.
There is another fact, however, deducible from
these circumstances, worthy of consideration. If
both countries have Louis Plait-x.11u,, in L.f.h.
countries there must be some corresponding frame of
the public. mind, which makes in both a Louis
PHILIPPE the, necessity of the moment, The career
of these men forbids us to assign to either of them a
:iigher character than that of a clever and a fortunate
trickster. WELLINGTON, BONAPARTE, PITT, were men
of genius, who created eminence for themselves; the two
others have watched and waited, have taken advantage
of this tide and that tide. of public sentiment, have
sided with Revolutionists or Conservatives, with rigid
bigotted Tories or Emancipationists, as a man was
wanting to do their bidding, till they have made them-
selves the indispensible organ or instrument of some
prevailing sentiment.
In France, Louis PHILIPPE reigns by virtue of
the dread of Revolution and change which pervades
the middle classes there, which he nourished till he
acquired the throne, and became for the bourgeoise
the means of preventing further revolution. To that
dread they sacrifice present liberty. Our Louis
Piiimpr.}l holds place by a similar fear. Men of pro-
rierty, with the middle classes, dread the unpropertied,
or despoiled multitudes. In 'office and out of office,
Sir R. PEEL has augmented that fear. He has con-
tinually sided against all attempts to extend the suf-
frage, because an extension of the constituency
would endanger property. To that fear he has made
himself indispensible ; to support him therefore the
middle classes accept an Income-tax, and the land-
lords submit tochanges in their protecting laws which
they -would take from no other hands. The
dread of change, the fear of the multitude, is the si-
milar frame of mind amongst the politically influen-
tial classes in France and England, which makes a
Louis PHILIPPE now essential to both.

If a man may make what laws he pleases he is
very little short of a despot, though he may use
his power, as both these men use it, with modera-
tion and discretion. No man who has an idea
of justice affirms, we believe, that Sir ROBERT
PEEL'S arrangements can be lasting, or that they will
put an end to public distress and discontent. Neither
the wretched monopolies which he has instituted here,
nor the suppression of public giscussion in France
can be the law of either nation a very few years
hence. Tamed as both these quasi despots are by that
subserviency to some prejudices and bad passions
which they have noted and watched to gain their
ends, neither of them is ever likely to be very
tyrannical, and neither will be able to transmit his
power and his system to any successor. In truth
both depend on an unworthy apprehension, which
cannot last. More continual misery is produced by
by the means employed to relieve it than could possibly
ensue were it realized.

REPRESENTATION OF WAKEFIELD.—We see, by
the Leeds Mercury, that Mr. Lascelles has declined
to accede to the request of the Electors of Wakefield,
and resign his seat, which he owes to a decision of the
House of Commons, contrary to the expressed wishes
and votes of the majority of the electors of that
borough. If the House of Commons may in one case
elect a Member contrary to the wishes of the majority
of the electors, it may do so in all, and it would be
advantageous, probably, to public morality—it would
spare the commission of much bribery, lying, intimi-
dation, and coercion were that Hon. House to nomi-
nate its successor. In Mr. Lascelles's case, the return-
ing officer, Mr. Holdsworth, was elected by the ma-
jority, mid when an election Commitee unseated Mr.
I foldsworth, because he was disqualified to sit, it had
no business nor right to &Nit Mr. Lascelles. In that'
case a Committee of the House of Commons have
usurped the rights of the electors, and Mr. Lascelles
wronl:-cfully sits in Parliament for Wakefield.

MANCHESTER SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE SUFFERERS
AT HAMBIJRGH.—It will be seen by the advertisement in
another column, that, notwithstanding the present is a
holiday week, when business is pretty much at a stand,
tlw warehouses closed, and many of our residents go
from home for a short time, the subscription has received
trust
an accession, since our last, of upwards of 760 t ,turd that
it amounted last night to the sum of 5,627/. v
that next week, when parties generally have rmuned
their usual business habits and avocations, a further con-
silerable utgmentation will be made to the funds for
this object.—Manchester Guardian.

FLANDERS AND DUTCH MAIL.
BRUSSELS, MAY 19.—The average price of wheat last
week was 23f. 42c., that of rye 13f. 13c.
Two ships in the basins of Antwerp are taking on
board cargoes of tiles of boom for Hamburgh.
His Majesty is expected from Ardenne this evening.
BRUSSELS, MAY 20.—An arrangement has been made
between the Minister of the Interior and the Steani Na-
vigation Company of Antwerp, by which that Society
continuing at all events a weekly communication between
Antwerp and London, shall likewise provide a weekly
communication between Ostend and London. The
Society cannot fix a higher charge for the conveyance of
merchandise between Antwerp and London than the
mean of the charge for the conveyance of goods during
the first four months of 1842.
Between Ostend and London the maximum on a great
number of articles is much below the prices hitherto
charged. Among those articles are fruit, poultry, but-
ter, eggs, and most heavy goods, such as are charged by
measure.
The steamers, which ply between Ostend and London,
are preparing to enter into a rigorous competition. One
of than has already reduced the fare to five shillings.
This reduction (as long as it lasts) will probably greatly
increase our intercourse with England. Already a party
of fifteen persons at Brussels propose to go to London next
week for their pleasure, and we do not doubt that a great
number of English will come to Ostend.
I The Precurseur of Antwerp says, "We .learn with
pleasure that some captains of vessels, ready to sail from.
Ghent and Antwerp to Hamburgh, intend to offer a
free passage to every workmen of good character, whose
professions is connected with house building, such as
masons, bricklayers, plasterers, carpenters, smiths, and
provided
they have subsistence during the voyage, and
for a week after their landing.

the highest degree the confidence and the esteem of the
population:
His Majesty, who set out yesterday afternoon for
Overyssel is expected between the 3rd and 6th of June at
Luxemburg, where he will open on the 7th the first as-
sembly of the estates of the Grand Duchy.
AMSTERDAM, MAY 18.—The committee for collecting

ANOTHER SUPPOSED MURDER.—The following par-
ticulars of the transaction are furnished by a correspondent:._
About eleven o'clock on Friday night the inhabitants near
Croydon-common were alarmed by the report of pistol-shots
upon the common, but as no cries were heard, or other alarm
given, no inquiry or search was made. Yesterday morning,
about six o'clock, a man named Bryant, going to his work. dis-
covered the dead body of a young man, very well dressed, lying
upon the grass. He gave an alarm, and Inspector Collier was
soon upon the spot, and the body was removed to the Mail
Coach pnblle-house, when it was found that the head of the
deceased had been blown nearly to atoms. Near the spot, where
the body was discovered, was found a pistol that had been re-
cently discharged, and a book, entitled " Remarks on the In-
fluence of Mental Cultivation and Mental Excitement upon
Health. By Amariah Brigham, M.D." This book appeared
to have been made use of as a target, for it was perforated
in seven or eight places, evidently by a pistol-ball, and
on one of the blat k leaves there was written in pencil the fol-
lowing sentence :—" Haying no vvv.tch t cannot say what
is the hour, but the sun appears to be down, or
below the horizon, and the crows and other birds are
busy and pleased, and dl nature content and happy
but me; because of not knowing how to make a better
use of my brain, Ihave come here to have it shattered. It rain's—
it is cold—or, at least, I feel cold—and it is darkish." Upon the
person of the deceased being searched six shillinc, and sixpence in
silver, and eightpence in copper were found in his pockets, and
also several bullets, and a number of percussion caps, but nothing
whatever like!), to afford a clue to discover the identity of the de-
ceased. He appears to be between 24 and 25 )ears old, and
was dressed in a brown frock coat and black trousers and
waistcoat. The body still remains at the Mail Coach to await
the coroner's inquest.
