On the question of the Income-tax being on Monday
night brought before the House of Commons, Mr. WAL-
LACE brought forward, but did not press his motion, to the
effect that money being now plentiful in the market, it
would be more expedient to contract a fresh loan than to
levy an Income-tax. Now we can discover nothing
whatever to applaud in this remedy of the Honourable
Member for Greenock. To go on borrowing moneys
whenever funds are wanted to support extravagance, is
as short-sighted policy in a nation as it would be in the
case of an individual. When a merchant or a country
gentleman, living at the rate of ten thousand a year,
finds that he has overdrawn his account at his banker's,
that his coffers are empty, and that his steward has
no money in hands to defray outstanding bills, what
dues he do ? If he be a prudent, consible man
he at once sets about the retrieving his fortune
by curtailing his expenses. He puts down his carriage;
disposes of his surplus plate ; discharges such domestics
as are kept merely for show ; keeps a more economical
table ; abandons expensive personal habits ; • and in a
short time is rewarded by finding his affairs once more
in a flourishing condition. Should he, on the contrary,
be a foolish, short-sighted man, he has recourse to
money-jobbers, to whom he. promises, cent. per cent. for
bad bills ; he rack-rents his tenants ; reduces the wagt s
of his clerks and domestics ; and every day sees him
plunge deeper into the gulf of irretrievable ruin. Now
a wise Government adopts precisely the same policy as
a prudent country gentleman. When it, by a cour,e
of unwarrantable extravagance, sees that it has
exhausted its ordinary resources in times of profound
peace, instead of rack-renting the tenants by fresh taxes,
and depending upon loans, it at once sets about curtail-
ing its expenses, and seeing in what way its affairs can
be more economically managed. This was well shown
by Mr. HUME on Monday in his real business-like speech
upon the Income-tax. In the present distressed state
of the country he contended that the public establish-
ments ought to be reduced before it was proposed to
impose an Income-tax. He objected to a tax upon the
QUEEN'S income, or to any diminution of the 60,0001.
a-year for her MAsEsTe's maintenance, exclusive of the
Civil List ; but he argued that much of the immense
sums squanderetl among the Lords and Ladies
of the Bed-chamber, and to keep up the feudal
offices of the Lord Steward and Lord Chamberlain,
might be saved to the country. Upon these points
we entirely agree with the lion. Member fur
Montrose. We further contend, that if Sir R. PEEL was
unable to devise any other substitute for making up the
deficit in the revenue than an Income-tax, he was bound
in justice to the country, whatever might be the incon-
sistency of the measure, to adopt and give a fair trial to
Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S Budget. To saddle the country
with an obnoxious tax, with a view to spite the Whigs,
was indeed a policy as miserable as it was unjust.

The improvement in the prices of our Stit-cks still continues,
and Consuls are to-day 92Z 92/ for Money, and 92/ 92i for the

The feeler put forth last night in the House of Commons
for reducing the rate of interest now payable on the Stock
bearing Three and a Halt per Cent., has had no effect, and
the general impression is, that if the market rise much higher, it
is probable that some such proceeding will shortly be attempted.
Foreign securities are firm, and without much alteration in
prices • the Dutch Five per Cents. are 100 - 101}; the Two
and-a:Half per Cents. 523/4 531; Belgian, 1031 1041 ; Danish,

cept in Brighton Loan Notes which are if premium.
In the Bonds of the insolvent States, the quotations are—
Buenos Ayrean, 264 ; Portuguese Three per Cents. 22* 224 ;
and Spanish Three per Cents. 24/.
It is still difficult to find parties willing to borrow money, the
superabundance of which continues. . _

16. The range of choice in regard to subjects which has
been left, in paragraph 6, to the discretion of the artists, has
reference to the present competition only, and is not to be
understood as implying the adoption of any particular scheme
for the decoration of the Houses of Parliament.
17. The judges tc be appointed to decide on the relative
merits of the d, awings will, it is presumed, be disposed to mark
their approbation of works which, with a just conception of
the subject, exhibit an attention to those qualities which are
more especially the objects of study in a cartoon; na.nely,
precision of drawing, founded on a knowledge of the structure
of the human figure; a treatment of drapery uniting the imi-
tation of nature with a reference to form, action, and compo-
sition, and a style of composition less dependent on chiaroscuro
than on effective arrangement.
By Command of the Commissioners,
C. L. EASTLAKE, Secretary.

Mr. LABOUCHEBE has placed the fillowing notice 01
the Paper of the House of Commons :—" In Committee
on the Tariff; to move that the duty on foreign sugar
be reduced to :;Os. p r cwt., and on colonial sugar to 2fis
per cwt." We regard that as au excellent motion,
which, if carried, will make the tariff worth having.
At present, the duty on foreign sugar is 635. ; the re-
daction of that to 305., and of colonial sugar from 245.
to 205., will bring into the market a large additional
quantity of sugar, and lower the price very consider-
ably. It will extend our trade with the Brazils and
Cuba, and be a double benefit to both, by supplying the
people, at a cheap rate, with a wholesome article of
diet, and giving them employment by which they may
purchase it. To the lower and middle classes a reduc-
tion of the sugar duties would be a greater benefit than
the reduction of the timber duties ; and we do not see
how Sir ROBERT PEEL can consistently, resist the
proposition.
Its effects on the revenue would be advantageous.
Supposing that some portion of our colonial sugar be
excluded from the market—though we do not believe that
a single hogshead less would be sold—for every cwt. of
colonial sugar displaced by foreign sugar the revenue
w.add gain 65., the difference between the present duty
o t colonial sugar and the duty on foreign sugar. All
t`te increased consumption, which would be very consi.
&rabic, as the supply of sugar is notoriously, short,
would- yield 30s, pa cwt. to the State, and the con-
sumer would at the same time pay a much lower price
than at present. All parties, except a few West India
plant,•rs—and we doubt whether they would suffer much
—would be • benefited by abating the enormous discri-
minating- duty on :]ugar. Like loosening the barbarous
stays \%ith which fnshion cramps the forms of our youne•
females, making them at once deformed and weak, It
would confer on the community an unadulterated .bless-
ind by permitting the operation, to a certain extent,
of the life and health-preserving action of nature.
The farmers, whose interests were so much assailed
by other parts of the tariff, would find it compensation
for some of their losses, by a large reduction in the
price of sugar. They have fruit to preserve ; they can
make wine ; they can improve their cyder ; they can
cure meat more efficaciously ; they can feed their fami-

The Morning Hera'd thus speaks of the rumoured intentions
of some of the Conservative party to move the continuance of
the prohibition on foreign cattle :—" Mr. Philip Pusey, the
Member for Berkshire, is reported to have announced to the
farmers of that county, in public meeting assembled, that Mr.
Miles's motion to continue the prohibition on the admission of
foreign cattle, will have the support of a large venom of the
Conservatives. The Cambridgeshire farmers have been fa-
Toured with a similar intimation. If these announcements be
truly reported, and any division of the Conservative party en-
tertain such intention, the members composing it are about to
enter on a very useless and foolish course ; useless, because
they will be defeated ; foolish, because they will place them-
selves and their clients in hostility to the public interests. Mr.
Pusey thinks that the new Tariff was drawn up by some one
who knew nothing about farming.' Be it so; it was, at all
events, drawn up by one who knew something about the de-
plorable condition of the mass of the British and Irish people,
to whom animal food is now a rarity, and of the middling classes, to
whom the present high price of butcher's meat checks consump.
tion. We opposed any extensive modification of the Corn-late,
because free trade in corn would greatly diminish the demand for
labour; we support the new Tariff, because it will ultimately
reduce the cost of living, while it will provide increased em-
ployment to the working classes."
The Post observes, in a leading article on the subject of Irish
emigration :—" Emigration, taken in the abstract, cannot be
said to be in itself an evil. Population outstrips the means of sup-
port, or of profitable employment to the inhabitants, and a
swarm is thrown off; does this fact speak to the decay of the
country, or to the loss of those that remain ? Certainly not ;
it is a circumstance in their favour. We are not to conclude,
therefore, from the mere fact of emigration, anything in-
trinsically detrimental to the community ; this is an inci-
dent depending entirely t-ion circumqances ; and what we
are bound to see with regard to Ireland is, whether there those
circumstances do concur which give to the fact that deplorable
character, and invest it with those sad accompaniments which
would render it a distinct and unequivocal index of national
calamity and decline. Now, from what we know of the condi-
tion of society in Ireland, we would be inclined to say that a
large amount of emigration afforded testimony of the absence
of any great improvement, rather than positive evidence of actual
deterioation."

SUSPECTED MURDER.

Ill Earn YR, APRIL 2-I.—The manufacturing town of Merthyr
(in the Welch hills) was thrown into much excitement yester-
day afternoon, in consequence of the di-covery of the body of
an old woman, of the name of Edwards, hid under a bedstead
in her own house, a wretched hovel, in Plymouth-street, near
the tramroad. It appears that the deceased, who was 70 or
73 years of ego, resided as above, her son and his wife living
wiAs her, and sleeping on the bed underneath whirls the body
was found. The old woman having been missed by her
neighbours for some days past, inquiries were made of her
son as to where she was, in answer to which the son stated,
that she had gone a few miles into the country. On his
leaving the house yesterday morning he told his wife that (t-
-was goicg to Dowlais to get his pay, and particularly ordered
her not to look under the bed. After he had left, the wife,
excited by curiosity to know what it was her husband was so
anxious to conceal from her, went to a neighbour's house, and
told two women of it, who agreed that the wife ought to see
what it was. The three women then returned to the house,
and raising the foot valiance of the bedstead, were horror-
struck at observing the body of the poor old woman under the
bed, partially wrapped up in a sheet, and quite dead. The
alarm having been given, the superintendent of police was sent
for, and from the information obtained by him suspicion pointed
instantly to the son as the murderer, and the more readily so
from the son being the person who was two years since com-
mitted for the murder of a poor Irish girl, an unfortunate
woman of the town. In that case, the evidence nut being
deemed conclusive, Eiwards was acquitted on his trial at the
assizes. Information was immediately given to the Coroner,
Mr. T. Davis, and at five o'clock last evening the Coroner
and a respectable Jury assembled ; having, viewed the body, the
inquest was adjourned until six o'clock, Monday evening, it,
order to allow time for the post mortem examination of the
body. The police are in active pursuit of Edwards, but hart
not as yet succeeded in capturing him.

Accounts from Trieste state, that some sensation had been
produced there by the arrival of a parcel of Indigo from Suez
via Cairo and Alexandria. This announcement is of the ut-
most importance, the route, if it can be continued, is opening a
trade for the manufactures of this country with Syria,
Upper Egypt, Arabia, Persia, and thus to the upper
parts of India. Attempts were made by the
Government some time since, to open such a route, but hitherto
success has only partially attended these exertions. If it can
now be accomplished, and the present arrival, small as it may
appear to be, may be considered as the fist step towards it,
immense advantages must naturally result, and without in-
terfering to any considerable extent with the trade at
present carried on with India, via the Cape of Good Hope.
At certain seasons of the year it has been considered prefer-
able for the overland mail to take the route by the Persian
Guiph instead of by the Red Sea, and now that steamers have
commenced running between the various ports of India, this
may be carried into effect more expeditiously than it could
formerly have been done. The chiefs up the whole line
of coast have advanced to a much higher degree of civilization
than in other parts of the same country, and many of them
individually carry on commercial pursuits with Bombay, and
the ports of Arabia and Syria, and the interior of Persia.
The great difficulty for the present to be overcome in
rendering this route safe, is the disinclination evinced
by the I'acha of Egypt, lest his trading enter-
prizes may be interfered with, but this, once done, all
the Eastern parts of the Mediterranean will then be easy of
access, in consequence of the example set ; and the whole
country through which the Euphrates flows, from Aleppo to
Bassora, be easily traversed, by our merchants.

" Royal Mail Steamer Dee, at sea, March 16, 1842.
" I sailed from Falmouth on the 3d of February in the Royal
mail steamer Medway, with 60 other passengers, for various
parts of the West Indies and North America. We arrived at
Barbadoes on the 21st, and proceeded, via St. Vincent's, to
Grenada. Here, according to the Company's prospectus and
agreement with the Admiralty, we ought to have found a
steamer ready to convey mails and passengers to the northern
islands and Jamaica. Having waited here three clear days
without news of any of the Company's vessels, Captain Smith
proceeded on his voyage, by advice of the Governor, taking
mails and passengers with him, and after having been
forced to make the tour of the West Indies, touching at
Trinidad, La Guayra, and Porto Cabello, on the Spanish
Main; Curacoa, and Mayaguez, and San Juan's, in Porto
Rico, we found ourselves at St. Thomas's on the 30th day,
and still not one of the Company's vessels to convey us or
the mails on our route. After a few days her Majesty's fri-
gate Spartan called accidentally at the island, and Captain
Elliot took the Jamaica mails en with him. At laq the
Royal tlail Steamer Dee made her appearance, and took on
board passengers and mails on the twelfth day of their deten-
tion at. St. Thomas's. This vessel is bound for New York and
Halifax, but intends leaving us at Turk's Island (a sand bank
so called), to take our chance of some of the mail steamers
picking us up. We expect to arrive there to-morrow, but I
shall be unable to acquaint you of our ultimate fate, as the
English letter• bag wilt be closed to-night. Thus, on the 43d
day from Falmouth, the passengers for Jamaica, and the mails
and passengers for Havannah and North America, find them-
selves not only no further advanced than Turk's Island, but
have the agreeable prospect of a forced stay of indefinite dura-
tion, on a sand bank producing nothing but salt, and where
the Jama'a;a passengers who were landed on the 17th of Ja-
nuary are known to have been en the 22d of February, having
extended all their fresh provisions, without being able to get
others.

A lamentable instance of clerical oppression has just
been exposed by the correspondent of a Morning Contem-
porary. It appears that a number of Italians, resident
in London, had, towards the close of last year, formed the
laudable design of establishing. a school for educat-
ing gratuitously the poorer classes of their coun-
trymen who flock to the metropolis, and by means
of small subscriptions had succeeded in providing elemen-
tary education for about 200 pupils. Those who at-
tended were youths employed in the various manufac-
tures for which Italy has long been celebrated, such
as barometers, looking-glasses, casts of remark-
able persons ; and oven the poor organ boys,
who gain a livelihood in the streets by their harmless
occupations, were desirous of obtaining instruction in
their own language, and in conformity with the
doctrines of the Catholic Church. The institution,
however, has met with the disapprobation of the RoMan
Catholic clergyman belonging to the Sardinian Chapel,
who has preached against it fur several Sundays, and
tias finally denounced all those who attend the school,
and threatened to refuse them the Sacraments—even
that sacrament to which they all look forward for con-
solation
at the hour of death. As we have reason to
believe that the doctrines taught are agreeable not only
to Scripture, but to the tenets of the Catholic Church,
we can only come to the conclusion that there must be
some secret and, possibly, selfish motives on the part of
the priest for this wanton exercise of his spiritual audio-.
rity. Is he afraid that the scholars may acquire
too much knowledge, become as learned as him-
self, and begin to discover that a great deal
of what he calls religion is little better than supersti-
tious observances, unwarranted by Scripture or moral
obligations? No class of men are more jealous of their
power than the priesthood. They have clung to domi-
nion in all ages and all countries, with the most wonder-
ful tenacity, and when they cannot preserve it by the
laws of common sense or sound argument, they never
scruple to have recourse to that authority' which they
assert is granted to them by the Bible. They use spi •
ritual weapons, and excommunicate without mercy. In
Scotland, the more, bigoted and tyrannical of
the ministers refuse the Sacrament to the dis-
obedient ; in England they refuse to bury the
dead according to the rites of the Church; and in Ca-
tholic countries they withhold the last unction. It is
certainly a stigma on the nineteenth century, so remark-
able for liberal improvements and great discoveries in
arts and science, that the power of the Church is
nearly as great as it was in the dark ages ; and
that in place of benefiting mankind by the
spread of u.seftil instruction, religious as well as
moral, a great proportion of the clergy should
seem anxious only to act as a drag on the march of in-
tellect. In the instance referred to, there may
be some defects in the system of education, or
some doctrines taught in which the Catholic priest
does not concur ; but these are not sufficient reasons for
destroying an institution which is conducted openly, and
is well calculated to confer groat blessings on his coun-
trymen. As the management of the School is entrusted
to persons of great respectability, and its success is
seriously endangered, a full statement of facts would be
useful. The public will judge impartially between the
managers and the Reverend Doctor.

got further than Bourg, when she became water-logged, and,
after a short time, went down, in front of the hospital. The

AIR. CHARLES MANGOLD'S CONCERT.—A concert,
excellent of its kind, was on Monday night given in the Hanover-
squat e Rooms, by Mr. Chas. Marigold, a performer on the piano-
forte, whose playing we then heard for the first time. A
numerous and rather superior audience was collected on this
occasion. The pieces selected by Mr. Mangold for the illus-
tration of his musi,•al ability were of a kind to severely tset the
skill and power of any pianoforte player whatever, consisting
of Thalberg's fantasia on the set enade arid minuet in Don Juan,
Beethoven's grand concerto in E flat, op. 73, a grand marehe
triumpliale of his own composition, and the celebrated sestetto
by Ries, which latter he played with Messrs. Naerove, Case.
Hausmann, and Casolani. Hie school of music
to which this gentleman belongs is that which professors call
classical. Mr. Mangold was a favourite pupil of Hummel's.
He is a very great acquisition to the English sterling school of
music and musicians. The sestetto by Ries, to which we have
alluded, is: a delightful composition, and its performance
realised every expectation we hail formed of it. Tire in-
strumental solos (besides those of Mr. Mangold's), were a fan-
tasia on the flute by Mr. Clinton, another on the violoncello
by Mr. Hausmann; a third, on the harp, by Mr. \l right; a
fourth, on the violin, by Mr. Blagrove ; and a fifth, on the
concertina, by Mr. G. Case. The singers were—Madame
Caradori Allan, Miss Bassano, the Misses Flower, Mr. Handel
Gear, Mr. Otto Feder, Herr Kroff, and Mr. John Parry, the
last of whom was, of course, encored.
FRENCH PLAYS.—Aloliere's .Ecole des Maris wm,
played again on Monday night, and drew another very crowded
house. M. Cartigny's Saganarelle may be pronounced the best
feature in it. Aldlle. Plessy's personation of Sylvia, in Masi_
vaux's Jell de l' Amour et du Hazird, concluded the evening's
entertainments. A one-act vaudeville commenced the soiree,
M. Scribe's Premieres Amours, or Souvenirs d'Enfance, not
produced before at this attractive theatre. The Jeune Premiere
was the agreeable Mlle. Forgcot. The house was attended by
a crowded and fashionable audience. Among others we noticed
his Royal Highness the Duke of Brunswick, the Earl and Coun-
tess Grosvenor, the Earl and Countess of Malmesbury, the
Count Ziehy, Lord Fitzroy Somerset, the French Ambassador,
the Count Kielrnansegge, the Marquis of Clanricarde, Lade

The Times says :—" If we were to take the proceedings of
Friday as a specimen of the manner in which the House of
Commons is likely to deal with the question of railway regu-
lation, we should give up all hope of protection against the
dangers of that mode of travelling. The preposterous deci-
sion of a majority of one, affirming Sir William Jolliffe's
amendment for the exclusion of a most useful and necessary
clause in the Government Bill, might at first sight be taken
for a blow against the whole principle of the measure; but
the cheers with which this strange instance of legislative per-
versity was received by the Opposition supply a clue to the
motives of those who voted with the sapient Baronet. Beaten
as they have been on every question of party interest during
the session by overwhelming majorities, and fresh as they were
at the moment from an ignominious defeat, the broken forces
of Liberalism determined to rally in a House of 207 Members,
and had the satisfaction of just outnumbering the Government
upon a question of security or hazard to the lives of her Ma-
jesty's subjects. Their spleen, indeed, invented a new deve-
lopment of the principle of free trade, by declaring against the
protection' of life or limb."

In reference to the present state of Ireland the Chronicle
makes the following remarks :—" The Evening Mail, in this
a faithful mouthpiece of the Irish Tory gentry, calls for a spe-
cial commission, a stringent Arms Bill, and an increased civil
and military force, to strike terror into the hearts of evil
doers.' Alas ! what ha+ the Government of Ireland by the
Tory party been, from time immemorial, but a Reign of 7.'error
—a wretched exhibition of violence and weakness--a vigour
which has only provoked resistance and aroused the ferocious
passions it was meant to quell— a system of revenge and cruelty,
which has raised up imitators wherever its blood-tracks have
passed ? Sir Robert Peel, when he was Chief Secretary for
Ireland, found Tipperary his chief difficulty. He was by nn
means averse to the forcible-feeble' expedient of terror, but
it proved ineffectual. Lord Stanley appealed to the same vul-
gar recourse, and tried Coercion Acts and Arms Acts with equal
success. Lord De Grey, in a small way, while bandying com-
pliments with a Tipperary grand jury, has pledged himself to
support a vigorous administration of justice, which renounces
all 'false humanity ;' but he too, it seems, has failed to 'strike
terror into the hearts of evil doers.' It is plain then that terror
alone will not do. There must be something more, and that
something must proceed from those who, in enforcing the rights
of property, are bound not to forget its duties. If Lord De
Grey could infuse such a sentiment into the breasts of the
Irish gentry, he would de much to place the tenure of life and
property on a sure foundation."

the fudge about encouraging slave-grown produce, and
will oppose Mr. LABOUCHERE'S motion on the
csound that the planters are at present in a bad
condition, and that to lower the discriminating
duty will ruin them altogether. But if they are dis-
tressed with the discriminating duty why should we
continue to harass the %stole empire by an unjust tax,
which scorns not to he of any benefit to the planters :'
We believe that the bounty is the cause of their distress
It tempts thew to make great exertions and submit to great
expenses, which they cannot afterwards recover, in
order to cultivate sugar. They bid, therefore, against
each other for the services of the negroes, and make
it impossible to grow sugar except at a loss. If the dis-
criminating duties' were removed, the competition for
labourers in the sugar- vrrowin,,-; colonies would slacken,
ant u ery soon the planters wonld be able to cultivate
their estates on much easier terms. But whatever may •
• be their condition, they have been too long enriched by
taxes levied on the sugar consumed by the people of
England ; and though Mr. LA.,,,ucii

if that should be the ruin of the planter, though we deny
