ARREST OF A MURDERER.—OR Wednesday last,
constable Slattery, of the county police, happened to
recognize in a field near Balintough-bog, a man of the
name of William Hare, against whom there is a private
information for the murder of Patrick Shine. Slattery,
a most resolute and active member of the force,. fearless
of danger, sprang towards his man, who immediately
lifted his spade, and struck him a violent blow, which
Slattery recovered, and secured his prisoner, who was
almost immediately rescued by a brother and other
relatives on the ground, who then turned on the con-
stable ; but Slattery pursued him again into a farm-
house, from which Hare escaped, followed through the
bog by Slattery, who fired a pistol to intimidate him,
and Hare fell. The policemen then overtook him, and
struggled to bring his prisoner towards the road, when
fortunately a gentleman's gig drove by, as the prisoner's
friends were rising to the rescue ; but Mr. Tuthill, of
Faha, and Mr. Green, promptly came up to the police-
man's assistance, and enabled him to secure William
Hare, the reputed murderer, in their gi,g, and bring him
on a prisoner, while the country people stayed away
from dread of being recognized by the Magistrates.—

EMIGRATION.—The tide of emigration has set in this
season with even unwonted vigour. In no former years
do we remember so many persons leaving this country
for America. Hitherto the emigrants who have sailed
from home have come from the inland counties ; the
-Apirit of enterprise has now seized upon those nearer
home, and multitudes of men and women of these coun-
ties (➢ieath and Louth) are embarking, or preparing to
embark, for the States. Favourable though we be to
emigration, seeing that no other hope remains, yet we
lament that those persons at present quitting our shores,
and all too for Yankee land, are of a better class, and
well provided with money, which being drained from this
impoverished island, will, no doubt, in the aggregate, be
severely felt, particularly in the country towns, where
hitherto their hundreds used to circulate freely.—

MURDER.—Oa Ttiesday Mr. Izod held an inquest
_at

The BIRMINGHAM CONFERENCE.
On Monday a meeting of electors and others, who
had signed the Memorial of Mr. Sturge, was held at
Thornton's Coffee-house, Brompton-road, Knights-
bridge. The Chair was taken by Mr. BARNETT.
Mr. WESTERTON read the Circular appointed to be
read at Delegate Meetings, and it having been agreed
to as of the utmost importance that as many advocates
of the People's Charter as possible should he sent to
the Conference, concluded his remarks by proposing
the Rev. Dr. Wade as a proper person.
Mr. TuomrsoN seconded the motion,_ which was
supported by Messrs. Minchins, Brown, Neesom, and
others, and carried with acclamation.
Mr. SPENCER read a letter he had received from
Dr. Wade, requesting him, in his name, to propose
his friend Mr. Westerton, which he did, and, for his
own part, cordially seconded the proposal.
Messrs. Simpson, Henderson, Renshaw, Neesom,
Barnett, Wilson, Davy, and other gentlemen sup-
ported the resolution, and it was finally agreed to
that both these gentlemen should proceed to Birming-
ham as their representatives.
A Committee was immediately formed to receive
the Report of the Delegates on their return, and to
increase the subscription, which was liberally com-
menced in the room, to defray the expenses of the
mission.

The meeting, after the usual vote of thanks to the
Chairman, separated at a late hour.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.

GLOBE.—The British nation, we are well as-
sured, will never permanently submit to the de-
gradation, the wrong, the infamy, of Sir Robert
Peel's income tax. Its flagrant injustice admits of
no excuse—no palliative ; whilst the inquisitorial
machinery by which it is to be carried 44tte.*ffect,
will fix an indelible slave-badge upon every man
who submits to.its infliction. The only question
is, whether the indignant resistance shall come
now or hereafter—now, by a combined movement
of the lovers of order and freedom; or, hereafter,
by an universal and undiscriminating- outhurct of
national indignation. Revolution sts say, "Pass
the Bill, for the sake of the swift and sure frenzy
that will follow ;" and Sir R. Peel, in one sense
their leader, gives the same advice, though of
course without anticipating the same result. The
public, however, should be well aware that by
means of a packed and pledged party, it is in the
power of the Minister to force the measure through
Parliament; and nothing but a well-o gdnised
resistance throughout the community will avail
to prevent so dire a calamity. On one point
we think that many well-meaning men require
to be cautioned. No opposition will be effectual,
ether now or hereafter, that is not decided
against the vital principle of the Bill—its inqui-
sitorial operation. To tax visible property is
one thing—to tax income is another. No Go-
vernment has a right to ash of its subjects infor-
mation as to their private affairs ; none but
a Government in its spirit and tendency de-
spotic, would ask it. This is the great principle
upon which alone the battle can be successfully
fought. The Ministerial prints which pretend to
improve the details, are traitors to the sacred
cause of public liberty. The principle is so exe-
crable, that perfection in the details will make
the Bill worse instead of better. The Times
very properly argued, in its patriotic days, that
ten per cent. was better than five per cent. in
such a case—because borne with more difficulty,
and shaken off with more ease. We warn the
public against all who would make the " mon-
ster-grievance" bearable ; and we invite all
classes who feel themselves aggrieved, to lay
aside party feelings, and to unite as one man to
prevent the perpetration of this great .national
enormity.
STANDARD.—AII the grounds, then, for
peace retrenchments not too base to be stated—
all the political groundsu—tterly fail, and it fol-
lows that the question is to be considered solely
with reference to the expense on the average of
years; but this question has been fully answered
by the history of the last century, a history,
which demonstrates arithmetically that peace re-
trenchment is the most prodigal policy that a
nation can adopt. A wise state policy would ra-
ther augment than diminish taxation in peace—
rather reduce than impose new taxes in war.
This, we repeat it, is our view, and our view only,
and we put it forward with the certainty that it
will be condemned even by some thinking men;
but it is a duty to tell the truth, whatever may
be the foreknown reception of it, when the truth
is necessary to disabuse men's minds of mischiev-
ous error; and this duty
ourselves, devolves properly to
n.
such humble pioneers
who sacrifice no cause or party, by
ever overthrow may await us. Sooner
or later the truth will prevail, but the sooner
it is whispered the earlier will probably be its
victory. We do not anticipate the victory in
our time, but come it will, if Great Britain is
to be still impregnable, and to become the
mighty empire for which, plainly, Providence
designs her. It is not, however, necessary to go
the length of the views we have avowed to see
that at present very large sacrifices must be made
to meet a more than threatening danger, collecting
to burst over our heads if we should be found un-
prepared. Let the Whig wars in Asia continue
but another year—no matter with what event—
and an European war, and an American war too,
will be inevitable, should our defensive prepara-
tions rest at the present scale. Let the condition
of our Indian empire appear precarious for but
one little month ; and not all the wisdom, en-
ergy, and good feeling of Louis Philippe, sup-
ported as they would be by the wisdom, energy,
and good feeling of M. Guizot, and of all the
good men in France—we willingly believe a
great majority of the nation—could prevent the
war party from forcing the Government to
avail itself of our supposed difficulty, unless the
Government could employ the sedative effect
of pointing to a stout British fleet in the
Channel, and to another in the Mediterranean.
A French war would be instantly followed by an
American war, and Russia would not long balk
her inclination for " settling the Eastern ques-
tion," in concert with France. This must be the
effect of a want of preparation in a crisis so
pregnant with danger as that in which we are
placed. Look at the exultation of the Paris
journals at our imagined danger in India; look
to the last accounts from the United States ;
and then sit down to calculate how, by balancing
long and short annuities, profits of trade and
profits of capital invested in land, you can best
contrive to cheat the country (that is, the truth)
of the means of necessary defence. The war
will come, and then, for the four millions, which
you try to shift from shoulder to shoulder, you
will have to pay hundreds of millions, or, with pa-
ternal tenderness, leave them to be paid by your
children.

MONEY MARKET und CITY NE WS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.

CHRONICLE.—The election of the Committee of
the Stock Exchange has terminated as usual in the
success of the house list. Messrs. Mercier and Mello
were chosen in the place of Mr. lichens, the Chair-
man, and of Mr. Vardon, who save retired. Mr.
Hutchison has agreed to continue as Deputy Chair-
man, and it is understood that Mr. Pearce will be
elected Chairman, in the room of Mr. lichens. A
deputation of the Committee waited on the latter gen-
tleman, and solicited him to continue to fill the chair,
but we understand he found the duties of Chairman
so onerous that he was obliged to decline complying
with the request of the deputation. Mr. 'lichens has
filled the chair, we believe, now for four years, and
been seven years a member of the Committee.
The current against the income tax does not
slacken in commercial circles ; on the contrary, we
believe, that the more it is considered the opposition
increases, although some of our City friends, who
were very much averse to it when first announced,
now say (since Sir Robert Peel made his indiscreet
and intemperate statement, that he would resign un •
less his plan was adopted exactly as it stands), that it
is the best possible tax, provided it could be levied
without its inquisitorial process. These gentlemen,
we presume, are aware that tha proviso is insepara-
ble from the operation of a tax on incomes, including
trades and professions. They must make up their
minds to submit, therefore, to smother their ob-
jections.
If Sir Robert Peel had held out a repeal of
the Corn-laws in one hand, and his income tax
in the other, with cheap sugar as a make-
weight, he would have been much more likely
to meet with the support of the country. The
delay that has been obtained has already acted on the
Corn Market, free wheat having advanced 2s. a
quarter, being now worth 625. The millers are in
want of stuff to grind for flour ; and, beginning
fresh obstacles against the, speedy settlement of
to see
.of the
proposed changes, they have come forward as buyers
for their immediate wants. The quantity of free
is about 50000
wheat in the country quarters.

has undertaken to revise at sight the whole tariff
of this great commercial empire.

But, as we have previously hinted, perhaps
Sir ROBERT PEEL does not mean to carry his
tariff. He has put that forth to amuse his oppo-
nents and frighten his friends into submission.
The Glasgow Argus positively affirms, that to
some deputations which have waited on Sir
ROBERT, he has signified his willingness, on ac
count of the pecuniary loss it might occasion, to
postpone his tariff to another session. When he
has got an income tax he will, perhaps, appoint a
Committee to inquire which of all the taxes on
trade he can, a year or two hence, best remove.
In the mean time, he has alarmed every interest
in the country, and kindled more agitation
amongst classes generally quiet than has pre-
vailed for many years. 'We believe that he has
effectually blown up the foundations of his own
popularity and power.
Perhaps he relies on the Houses of Parliament
and disregards public opinion. He has not been
much accustomed to look beyond the former,
and if he can prevail there he may think his
power will be safe. The Parliament has a long
term of existence, which is just begun. Per-
haps he means to rule by means of Parlisme nt-
in spite of the people. Such a scheme may suc-
ceed for a season—he may pass his income tax,
and postpone or pass his tariff; but neither will
last beyond the period when his odious, inqui-
sitorial scheme, for extorting money from the
people by the threat of exposing their private
concerns, shall have come into operation,
and shall have excited public indignation. May
it not then happen, that in overturning the in-
come tax, the power which imposes it will be
endangered? If the constituencies think it
useless to petition the Parliament collectively,
they may warn their Members individually
of the fate which will await them, and
await the Parliament, should it make
itself the tool of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S foolish
ambition. As the agriculturists are re-
sisting the tariff, and probably will be sue
cessful, the townspeople ought to resist the
income tax, which will then be uncompensated
by the tariff, and will fall with double severity on
them. On Monday Parliament re-assembles,
and if the constituencies do not mean to sacrifice
their own rights, and disinherit their children,
they will everywhere meet and express their
opinions on one of the most multifarious, most
arrogant, and most worthless changes that ever
a Minister attempted in Great Britain.

The complaint made by the West India planters
As, that the cost of growing sugar, under the
discriminating duty, is more than the price they
can obtain for it in the English markets. Fol-
lowing out the system, patronised by Sir R.
PEEL and Lord STANLEY, of regulating and pro-
tecting trade, securing to certain " great inter-
ests," by means of laws an adequate return for
the capital embarked in cultivation—however
recklessly.'or unskillfully that may have been
applied—it will be necessary to raise the discri-
minating duty still higher, and increase the price
of sugar by keeping out everything that can pos•
sibly be used in its stead. The principle of pro-
tection followed out to- its true consequences
will compel the state to go on, as the disadvan-
tages of the cultivation of sugarincrease, enhancr.
ing the sum fixed as a protecting duty till the
whole property of the people be swallowed up
in encouraging the growth of sugar.
There is, however, another method by which
the market may be extended, and which some
idle, or ruminating people, called thinkers, say
is preferable to the PEEL-STANLEY system. They
say that men must have bread before sugar, and
that the more difficult it is for them to get bread,
or the dearer it is, the less money they will have
wherewith to buy sugar. They say, that when
bread is cheap and abundant, trade is invariably
good; employment is comparatively plentiful; the
people have something to give the West Indians
and others who produce articles next in utility to
those necessary for subsistence; and that, conse-
quently, the means to obtain a good price in the
home market, for West Indian raw sugar, is to
put an end to the Corn-laws, and allow trade
to go a-head.
But it so happens, say these idle ruminating
people, who do not always believe all the conclu-
sions which avarice and ambition draw from any
premises it suits them to assume, that the very
saime cm-sm_ avkd..trilakl of who pass laws
to give tke West Infiia planters a high price for
their sugar, also pass laws to give the landowners
a high price for their corn, to narrow the supply
of food, to limit employment, to keep down po-
pulation, and to take from the bulk of the people
the means of purchasing sugar at any price,
much less at a high price. They both stimulate
the production of sugar and narrow the market
for it. To enable the people here to consume, at
a good price, all that the colonists are stimulated
to produce, they ought to be allowed to increase
as fast as possible, and to acquire, by the freedom
of their industry, as much wealth as possible.
But those who stimulate the labours and the
competition of the planters, by an enormous
bounty, at the same time destroy the growing
market for their produce.
The very same law-makers, say the idle thinkers,
aim at effecting incompatible objects. They
want to accomplish physical impossibilities—
to enrich both the agriculturists, who buy sugar,
and the planters, who sell it. They cannot aug-
ment by a single grain the whole sum of sugar
and corn produced, but they say that by raising
the price of both, the two being, in the end, ex-
changed for each other, they can increase the
profits both of the sugar-growers and wheat-
growers. The law-makers cannot interfere with
either without taking 'a portion of it to reward
them for their trouble, which is known as a tax
which may amount to a sixth part of the whole;
and yet while they are unable to augment the
whole stock, and while they take a part of it to
themselves, they pretend that by their interfe-
rence, and by devising a discriminating duty on
sugar, and a corn-law which takes something
away from the agriculturists, and largely away
from the sugar planter, they enrich both. The
idle thinkers say that this a specimen of all the
protecting laws concerning trade, which Lords
PALMERSTON and HOWICK have lately declared,
very emphatically and very justly, is nota proper
subject for legislation. They add, that when
the system is subjected to a severe analysis, it
turns out to be a piece of gross quackery, or
gross humbeg, by which the tax-collectors and
tax•consurners may profit, but by which all the
producing classes, whom it pretends to benefit,
are cheated and defrauded.
We are inclined to believe that these idle
thinkers, the class of men whom BONAPARTE
bated, and whom GEORGE 111. hated, under the
name of metaphysicians, are nearly right, and we
are clearly of opinion that the persons who
strive to enrich the West India planters, while
they maintain a heavy tax by a sliding scale
on bread, are playing at cross purposes. They
are building up with one hand, and pulling
down with the other. They set some men to
sow, and others to take the seed out of the
ground. They pass one law to raise the price of
sugar, and another to limit its consumption.
Contradictory purposes like these, which
may be traced in every two lines of the tariff, are
called political wisdom. They are what politicans
break nearly all the commandments to effect.
They are what the people are required to obey
at the point of the bayonet, and asked to worship ;
and what all the respectable part of society
think it their duty to enforce at the expense of
life and fortune. The idle thinkers shake their
heads at the sad conclusion, and ask, can good
come of such a monstrous error and delusion?

LONDON:
WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 30, 1842.

There can be no doubt that Sir ROBERT PEEL
is a prodigious statesman. He came into office
eight months ag,,) at the head of a great and
united party. The majority of the constituen-
cies were for Sir ROBERT PEEL. With unex-
ampled patience and unbounded confidence did
the people await his decision. A fortnight has
scarcely elapsed since it was known, and all
classes and descriptions of persons hiss at Sir R.
PEEL. His great supporters, the farmers, de-
luded by the ignorant squires and the designing
clergy, who were a little alarmed by his useless
invasion of their palladium, the Corn-law, have
been thoroughly terrified by his tariff, and no
gander in their own yard can utter more unplea-
sant sou ids than they send forth against their
recent idol. From Sussex to Inverness they are
in motion, t) decry and denounce his tariff.
If one section of the ship-builders like his
tariff, another section, and the timber merchants,
ho have got an immense stock on hand, cry
out lustily against it. Where the people are
silent, as in co-wed and corrupt
_____Lon—finn_ it_ iA
more from indifference and apathy than from
any liking co the tariff. Many persons think it
is of no use petitioning the House of Parliament.
They are tired of putting up their prayers to a
deaf idol. Nowhere, however, do people move
in favour of Sir R. PEEL. A measure, involving
numerous and extensive changes, is proposed
by the Prime Minister, beloved and ho-
noured a few weeks ago, and it is received in
moody silence, or with great disapprobation
throughout the country. Now, he is, we
assert, a prodigiously great statesman, who,
before he has well acted, and before he has
encountered any disaster, is all at once,
by his own project, hurled from the height of ,
popularity and confidence, to the depths of dis- I
like ind distrust.

• We believe that he richly deserves the change.
He took hold of the tariff, including some twelve
hundred articles, and, of his own will and plea-
sure, made alterations in the duties o:i them all
Such a thing was Lever before heard of; we
believe, i the h'story of the world. No despot,
in the plenitude of his power, ever attempted
it. -Without consulting a single interest, with-
out asking one party concerned, he flings
down a measure which must alter, with-
out improviux, ti e distribution of labour and
capital in almost every branch of industry, giving
employment to some and taking it from others—.
making some pourer, but not, we believe, in-
cresiiing the riches of any. Such a measure,
even if an anel had proposed it, and Infinite
Wisdom had regulated its proportions, would
necessarily have excited the disapprobation of
the many interests it so soddenly alarms and
da.turbs.
At the same time Sir ROBERT PEEL'S tariff is
remarkable for a want of wisdom and the injus-
tice of its proportions. He has just proposed a
Corn-law, whic!i maintains the sliding scale, with
a view to protect the agriculturists, as he says,
when the harve,ts a: e abundant, but in his tariff
he places a fixed duty on cattle, on meat, on po-
tatoes, on fruit, on starch, on an immense variety
of agricultural produce, which he allows to be
imported at the same duty at all times.
Take, for example, the article starch, which
mainly consists of the nutritious portion of
grain. It is condensed food, and much easier
transported than wheat. With a fixed duty
cn starch, it will be prepared abroad, so
as to be converted into fond on importa-
tion, as s:igar is imported from the Channel
Islands disguised as confectionary. When the
duty on wheat, therefore, in consequence of the
price being below Ws-. shall be 205., the duty
on starch will only be equivalent to a duty of
las. on wheat; starch will then be imported in
great quantities, and the pretended protection
given to the agric ilturist by the Corn-law is,
pro tanto, destroyed by the tariff.

What is true oGtarcl:, is true of all kinds of cat-
tle and meat. The duty on them is fixed without
any relation to the price, while the duty on corn
varies with the price. But all these are articles
of agricultural produce as well as wheat, and the
farmers might just as well have a fixed duty on
the latter as on the former. Thus does Sir R.
PEEL adopt in Lis tariff, as to agricultural pro-
duce, the principle he contended against as to
corn; and thus does he run counter in his tariff
to that very principle of protection he has re-
cently established by his Corn-law.
Without going through the items, and show-
ing that he has done relative injustice to the
potatoe-growers and to the owners of orchards,
mho made an outcry against the Whigs for fit.
ing the duty on apples at double the duty in
Sir ROBERT PEEL'S tariff. This principle of a
txed duty on numberless articles of provisions,

norance of the working of his own laws, or

men at themercy of a few Magistrates. The state ofanx-
iety inwhich many publicans have been placed by the
suspension oftheir licenses is almost beyond endurance.
Many of this class are widows, with large families ;
they must fee counsel to state their different cases,
and from no fault of theirs but want of due protection
from the police their licenses are suspended, or taken
away altogether, and they and their families brought
to ruin. This is no uncommon occurrence, for all
Magistrates are not so benevolent and merciful
as those of the Tower Hamlets. In the country,
where the power of the press has little effect on
the squires and parsons the most grievous acts of
partiality, injustice, and even oppression, are prac-
tised with impunity, and the unfortunate victims have
only the choice of unqualified submission, or great loss
of property. The present feud between Churchmen
and Dissenters respecting Church-rates affords one
instance out of hundreds of the small chance which
the latter class have of obtaining justice from such a
bench. A licensing parson will of course consider
a multitude of offences amply atoned for by pay-
ment of th• obnoxious tax. The Tory squires, and
(according to Lord BROUGHAM) they are all
Tories, will keep an eye to politics, and show

no mercy to a Whig or Radical publican. This is
an anomalous state of things, which is a disgrace
to the Legislature. Why should any man's pro-
perty be placed in such a precarious condition
that he must abjure, or feign to abjure, his political
and religious creed, in order to be allowed to live ?
We do not blame the justices half so much as the
nobles, the bishops, and the country gentlemen, who
make laws for the rest of the community, and
who thus subject a large and influential
class to the caprices, the jealousies, and the
worst passions of a few of their neighbours. The
property of a publican should be as sacred as
that of every other member of the community,
and in the name of common sense and justice
why should it be taken from him, or in any
way injured, without a fair and open trial by his
peers ? We trust this important subject will be
duly considered in all its bearings when the Bill for
licensing and regulating public-houses comes under
the discussion of Parliament. If this act of justice is
again delayed, the publicans have an easy remedy.
They amount to many thousands throughout the
kingdom, and have no little influence in refloating
Members of Parliament. Let them unite as one body,
and resolve to support no candidate who will not lend
his assistance in abolishing a system that entails upon
them incessant annoyance, and brings not a few of
them to the workhouse.

There is no class of criminals for whom we have
less sympathy than persons guilty of bribery at elec-
tions. No matter what may be their political prin-
ciples, we regard them as more deserving of universal
execration than the thieves and pickpockets annually
shipped from our shores to Norfolk Island. We,
therefore, have no fault to find with the Tories for the
new-born zeal which they display in the punishment of
bribery at the election of Members to serve in
Parliament. On the contrary, we desire nothing
more than that they allow no criminal to escape. On
the principle of setting a thief to catch a thief, the
Tories are the fittest persons to prosecute a crime of
which they were the original instigators, and of which
they still secure a monopoly in their own hands.
How sturdily they fought to preserve the franchise
to the pauper freemen, during the debates on
the Municipal Reform Bill, solely because they sub-
sisted wholly on bribes ! 'While the rotten borough
system lasted, they openly bought and sold the Par-
liamentary representation of the country. They are,
therefore, perfectly acquainted with bribery at elec-
tions, in all its most concealed corrupting phases. As
practised by the Whigs, they now discover that it tells
against them, and they prosecute it. We heartily wish
they may utterly eradicate it. Let them but endeavour
to do so honestly and impartially, and we shall cor-
dially support them in such a cause. But then they
must go honestly and impartially to work. They
must make no distinction between Whig and Tory
criminals. Neither must they be content with pu-
nishing the recipient of a bribe, and allowing the
greater criminals, the rich man who supplies it, and
his agent who administers it, to escape.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.
WEYMOUTH AND MELCOMBE REGIS.
The Committee met yesterday morning at the usual
hour, Mr. Stuart Maxwell in the Chair.
Evidence was taken as to the registration of the two
voters Ploughman, and the argument on the personation
by Ploughman the baker, of Ploughman the saddler, was
continued on the part f the sitting Members by Mr.
Talbot throughout the morning.
The Committee finally struck off the vote of Plough-
man, the baker, as bad. On the part of the sitting Mem-
bers a claim was then made for the vote of the other
Ploughman, the saddler, to be added to their poll. The
claim, however, was rejected by the Committee, thus
leaving the sitting Members in a minority of one.

The most important items of intelligence brought
by the Levant Mail, are the answer of the Sublime
Porte to a joint note of the Ambassadors of the Great
Powers, recommending the restoration of amicable
relations with Greece, and the removal of OmAe.
PASHA, the Austrian renegade, from the Government
of Syria. As a large Turkish force was concentrated
on the Greek frontier a conflict must undoubtedly
have taken place, but for the prompt and well-timed
interference of the Ambassadors of the Great Powers.
Some time must, however, elapse before an entire -
conciliation takes place. Prince 111A.VROCADATO,
has arrived in Constantinople as Ambassador from
King OTHO to the Porte, has made some demands
which are not stated, but which are said to be very
displeasing to the Sultan. No doubt the repre-
sentatives of the Great Powers will again interfere,
so that this new difficulty will be removed by the
exchange of a few diplomatic notes.
The removal of OMAR PASHA from the Government
of Syria is a still more important event. And yet
what was there which might not have been expected
in his persecution of the Christians of Lebanon ?
Who ever expected toleration of former co-religionists
from a renegade from their faith ? What really sur-
prises us is, that the Porte did not foresee what would
have been the career of OMAR PASHA. in Syria at
the time of his appointment to that Pashalic. There
was a report in circulation at Constantinople that a
son of the EMIR BESCIIIR would succeed OMAR as
Governor of Syria. Such an appointment would be
popular among the Christian inhabitants of Lebanon,
and without conciliating them the Porte cannot re-
tain Syria.

WIGAN.
The Committee met at the usual hour yesterday morn•
ing, and immediately proceeded with the scrutiny of
voters.

Up to the time of our going to press, the following
were the names that were struck off the list of voters :
Thomas Howorth and James Sutton, on the side of the
petitioners ; and on the side of the sitting Members,
Thomas Barton and Ellis Rigby.

THE COFFEE I:UTIES.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Bishopsgate Without, Monday Night.
SIB,—I am not in the habit of writing to newspapers,
but Sir Robert Peel seems inclined to gull the people so
much in his tariff, and I am so pestered with my cus-
tomers about the expected "hrge" reduction in coffee,
that I am induced to drop you a line to explain to the
misguided people how they are deceived. When the
Premier made his grand speech, he said he intended
making very large reductions in the duties on Coffees,
for, said he, I intend reducing the duty on foreign, from
15d. to Sd. a pound, and on colonial from 6d. to 4d. The
latter is correct, but the former is not a reduction from
15d. to 3d., but only from 9d. to td., for the knave
knows very well that a 15d. duty never was paid, but it
was always imported from the Cape of Good Hope, at a
9d. duty ; therefore it follows that this wonderful reduc-
tion is only ld. a pound, and of course we grocers intend
reaping the benefits. Now I could mention other
articles which appear to be reduced on paper in the
same way, but as I am especially bothered with my cus-
tomers asking when this " large" reduction is to be made,
I write to you just to set the deluded beings-right in the
article of coffee, and to assure them that, if they expect
to pay Peel's income tax from their savings in provisions,
they will be outrageously mistaken, for the reduction
being only nominal, they will reap no benefit.
A BISHOPSGATE GROCER.

REFORM—REPEAL.
A specially convened wardmote of the Repeal War-
dens and Secretaries of all the wards of London, was
held on Monday, Thomas Steele, Esq., who is called
Head Repeal Warden of Ireland in the chair, in the
absence of the Rev. Dr. Magee, C. R., of 'Westminster,
Head Repeal Warden of London, who was unable to
attend.

A series of resolutions on the subjects of Repeal of
the Union and of Reform were passed with acclamation ;
but as we consider what our Irish friends call Repeal to
be nothing but a pure delusion, we of course will not
inflict on our readers any recital of the resolutions on
that shadowy subject.
A resolution was moved and passed unanimously
on the subject of Reform. It was to the effect that
Mr. O'Connell is as indubitably the father of the Re-
form Bill of 1832 as of the Emancipation Bill of 1829.
inasmuch as it was not until he in May, in the latter
year, giving friendly reproach for their apathy, precept,
and example altogether, taught the people of England
how to organise themselves in political unions, on the
model of the Irish Catholic Association, by the moral
pressure of which he had carried the Emancipation Bill.
It is matter of history, -that it was by the moral
pressure of the English and Scottish Political Unions
that the Reform Bill was obtained by the people.
The exhortation of Mr. O'Connell, alluded to in the
resolution, was given at a great meeting of the leading
Reformers of England, at the " Purity of Election
Dinner," at the Crown and Anchor, in Westminster, at
which Sir John (then Mr.) Hobhouse presided as the
locum tenens of Sir Francis Burdett.

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 it is the most popular way of raising money,
and which any Administration would have done,
by taking from the industrious and moral class a
per centage on their industry and providence,
allowing those who are improvident to go un-
taxed. The Pacha of Egypt does the same, by
some pretext or other, the moment any of his
subjects have more than 1301. per annum ; and
how does his Administration work ? Why 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, when 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, &c., 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 class 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 obedient servant,
March 14.

Nothing can be conceived more humiliating than
the condition of the French Press. It is prostrate at
the feet of the Commissary of Police, for the Ministers
hardly deign to notice it. Of this fact the Journals
of Sunday report an instance which would 13(
ludicrous but for the despotic principle
which it involves. That laughing periodical
the Charivari has been in the habit some
years of publishing a sheet of comical illus-
trations at Easter. The printer, dreading the
terrors of the Law Officers of the Crown,
refused to print it. The responsible Editor applied
to the Civil Tribunal to compel him to print the
paper, but the Court refused to interfere. Thus,
by not permitting any Journal to be printed, except
by a licensed printer, and by leaving it op-
tional with each printer what articles he may,
or may not print, the Government has the Press far
more in its power than if the strictest censorship
existed. For the censor would be a man of education,
and would exercise his functions so as not to incur
the contempt and ridicule of men equally well edu-
cated with himself. But the printer has only his own
caprice to consult. He need not read the article
which he rejects unless he pleases, and when he does
read it he is justified in being guided by his fear of
prosecution rather than by his taste.
Of general news there is none in the French Jour-
nals of Sunday, with the exception of the following
extracts :

A TAX ON LOSSES.
We cannot tell how it may be in future years,
1/4though prospects at present are gloomy enough), but
of the payments made on the transactions of 1841,
much more will be "hush-money" to the tax-gatherer
than profits of trade made by the merchant or
tradesman.
The merchants or shipowners of the port of Liver-
pool will, no doubt, be expected to pay a large
sum towards the income tax out of the profits of last
year. Many of them probably will pay pretty
handsomely rather than submit to have their affairs
looked into ; but it will be out of their capital rea-
lized in former years, not out of the profits of the
last. The losses on cotton in Liverpool during the
last year are understood to have amounted to a mil-
lion sterling ; on timber there has been a deprecia-
tion of between forty and fifty per cent. on the
heaviest stocks ever held ; on iron the fall has been
ruinous ; Broailian and other free sugars and cof-
fees have been a mere drug on the market ; sheep's
wool and dye wares have fallen greatly; colonial
shipping has been unsaleable at any price, and British
shipping has lost, at least for the-present, one-third of
its value ; yet all these articles will be expected to
contribute their quota to the income tax, and any
one concerned in them Who returns his income
at nothing (as thousands may with truth),
or who returns less than the commissioners expect,
will not only be liable to be examined on oath, but
will be actually examined and compelled to disclose
all the details of his business. Precisely the same
state of things exist amongst the manufacturers
of Manchester, Bolton, Stockport, Leeds, Notting-
ham, and T.,icester, and amongst the importers
of PrCauce in London and the other out-ports of
Lne kingdom, as well as Liverpool ; but all
this is nothing to the tax-gatherer and his master.
"An income he wants, and an income he'll have,"
and those whose pockets and consciences refuse to
contribute will have to buy exemption at the risk of
ruin. The shopkeeper will be treated precisely in
the same 'Manner. He will have to pay or plead his
T,'.',•verty, and he, like the merchant, will in, a vast
number of cases find it better to make a false return
of profits and to pay the penalty than to allow the
world to know his real circumstances. The univer-
sal pressure of the times will thus add unspeakably to
the injustice and tyranny of a tax which can
never be otherwise than unjust and ty.annical.—

A city policeman, named Herbert Godwin, was charged
at Guildhall, on Monday, with stealing a silk cloak, time-

evidence, the prisoner was remanded to Friday.
Three young men, named Green Wilcot, and Wilkin-

charge, they were fined 10s. for the damage they had
done him, and discharged.
Edward. Moore, a lad of 18, was charged at Worship-

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TUESDAY EVENING.
The depression with which the Money Market closed
yesterday has been completely superseded to-day, and
although the amount of business has been but- trifling,
the funds left off firm, Consols being 8911 for money,
and 898 sellers for the account. Exchequer Bills 27 and
29 premium,
In the Foreign Market the last price of Belgium
was 103 104 ; Danish, 811 821 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents., 52 524 ; the Five per Cents., 1021 103 ;

per Cents. was 34 341; the Three per Cents., 20 20k ;
Columbia, 26* ; Mexican, 421 ; and Spanish, 241 -a.
But little was done in Shares. London and Birming-
ham left off at 85 87 ; Great Western, 261 271 ; the
Half Shares, 134 14+ prem. ; Birmingham and Glouces-
ter, 56 58 ; South Western, 59 60 ; Gosport, 59 60 ;

The Foreign Exchanges were rather more favourable
than on our last post day. Amsterdam was 12 4,1 12 5 ;

owners from Sunderland met with from Governtnent,
when it was stated that no further progress would be made
in pressing the resolutions put forward before sth April,
and that in the meanwhile every attention would be paid to
any representation which might be made, has given great
satisfaction in the • City. It is admitted, even by the
most strenuous supporters of the proposed measure, that
many parts are particularly objectionable, and it would
appear, therefore, that no time is to be lost in urging
the hardship which individual interests will suffer, if it
be carried as at present printed.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
Consols remain at 89} 4, for Money, and at 898 for

With the exception of Mexican, the Foreign See.uri
ties are quite neglected ; the hope that a portion the
dollars, between one and two hundred thousand, on
board the packet, may be for the dividend, caused the
quotation to advance to 424 ; since then it has been
fluctuating between that and 421, which latter is now the
nominal rate. The other Bonds are quoted : Spanish,

Exchange in England, the highest 2 15-6 d, and the
lowest 2.1 d.
The Coffee trade is at present memorializing the Go-
vernment to reconsider the proposed plan of abolishing
the differential duty on that article, when imported from
British possessions in the East Indies. The arguments
adduced are certainly cogent, but the chief difficulty
lies in so framing the Act so as to prevent the evasion
.of it, which has hitherto been the case. Hitherto ex-
tensive operations have been carried on by landing
coffee at the Cape of Good Hope from Brazil and
.other parts of South America, which upon being re-
shipped to England, came under the denomination of
"imported from a British possession," and therefore
subject to the duty. of ninepence instead of fifteen
pence per pound. The origin of this trade was certainly
legitimate, having its commencement in the barter of our
manufactures with the natives of the Eastern Archi-
pelago, and for which Singapore, a British settlement,
became the grand entrepot ; but the late encroachments of
the Dutch upon commerce in those seas other than their
own, led to the almost
,complete abandonment of this
branch of tyade ; afterwards the Cape was substituted
as the nearest port which would confer the privilege of
the lower duty. If freedom of trade continue to be
allowed in our Eastern colonies, where it has hitherto
been unrestricted, it will be almost impossible to prevent
the entrance and re-shipment of coffee and the subse-
quent evasion of duty. It is not improbable but that
some relief will be afforded to the holders by giving
time to work off their present stock ; but if the manner
of rating the article be continued, it will enhance the
price to the consumer, and injure the revenue, by pre-
venting the admission of foreign coffee, otherwise than
by a circuitous route.

FORIGN.
The Levant Mail has arriE
ved, bringing advices from
Alexandria of the 6th, from Constantinople of the 7th,
from Smyrna of the 9th, and from Malta of the 18th inst.
The news cannot be condensed in a few sentenceo here,
and will be found in detail in another part of The Sun.
From the Turkish capital we have the satisfactory in-
timation that Ihe Porte will listen to the representations
of the great Powers, and recall Omar Pacha, the Aus-
trian renegade, whose sway in Syria has produced such
disastrous results. It is considered probable that, a son
of Emir Beschir will be the successor of Omar.
The lonian Parliament opened at Corfu on the Ist
inst.. and on the 3d the new Lord High CommisSioner
delivered his speech. The finances he admitted to be
much involved, the expenditure having exceeded the re-
venue. He mentions various reductions to relieve the
debt of upwards of 150,0001., and demands the authorisa-
tion to sell all public property of every kind, and to put
an end to the grain department, and to leave the trade in
wheat free, like that in all other kinds of grain. '
The accounts from Malta state that on the 17th inst.
the jury acquitted Mr. John Levick and Lieut. Antonio
Mattel, the former as principal, and the latter as his
second, in the late fatal duel. Mr. Fellowes returned to
Malta on the 14th from his voyage of research in Asia
Minor.
The Augsburgh Gazette gives a full account of the
troubles at Ibraila. On the 22d, the States voted an ad-
dress hostile to the Government. On the same evening,
the insurrection broke out at Ibraila. A lieutenant of
cavalry was first shot ; but his death aroused the colonel
who commanded, and who was able to repress the muti-
neers, and take fifteen of them.
The Semaphore de Marseille of the 24th inst. brings
news from Algiers of the 20th. The Governor-General
continued to receive propositions of peace from the dif-
ferent tribes which had hitherto held out for Abd-el-
Kader. On the 17th General Changarnier returned to
Belidah from an incursion on the territory of the Had-
joutes, bringing with him 480 prisoners and 3,000 head
of cattle.
A difference exists between the Porte and France on
the subject of the new Consuls of the latter Power.
Botta, a son of the historian, has been named Consul at
Mossul, in Mesopotamia. The Porte refuses to sanction
the appointment, on the ground that the French have no
commercial interests whatever at Mossul, but merely re-
ligious ones, which they want to take advantage of.
PUBLIC OPINION.
The Chronicle thus reverts, in just and forcible terms,
to that villainous impost, the income tax:—" Not that
there is the least probability of Sir Robert Peel's adopting
any amendments tending to make the tax bear fairly
upon the different classes of society. As the reviewer
truly observes, ' this is an extreme case of class legis-
lation.' It is an injustice, and it is intended to be an
injustice: Render the impost fair and equal, and it
ceases to be what Sir Robert Peel wants. He no longer
finds in it a propitiatory sacrifice to the power of agri-
cultural monopoly. Justice and equality -would be a
great incoavenience to him. They would mar his Par-
liamentary and Ministerial tactics. 'He wants a wrong
in the income tax to support the wrong in the Corn-law,
and overbalance the right in the new adjustment of the'
tariff. Impartiality in his scheme would be an imper-
tinent intrusion, not less offensive than that of the honest
man in the closet of Dr. Caius. The tax is better let
alone in its integrity of iniquity." '
The Morning Herald says :—" There can now, we
presume, be no longer any doubt as to the value of votes
at Cambridge during the elections to return Members to
represent that borough in the last and present Parlia-
ments, or of the estimation in which the crime of bribery
is held by the venal electors of that town. Double
votes on either side of politics are worth 101., and
' bribery is all a parcel of stuff and nonsense !' To re:
present Cambridge is then, truly, not a very enviable'
distinction, no matter whether it be enjoyed by Mr. C.
M. Sutton and Sir Alexander Grant, or Lord 'Cosmo
Russell and Mr. Foster ; it is a distinction which, if the
House of Commons did its duty, would be for some years
at least impossible of attainment."
The Advertiser, after alluding to the sanguine expec-
tations formed of Sir R. Peel, when he succeeded to office
last year, goes on to say :—." But Sir Robert has anni-
hilated all these favourable anticipations, and the income
tax now stands exposed in nude and hideous deformity
as the most unjust infliction with which the most des-
potic of its governments ever visited the country. A
measure which leaves the country no alternative but a
quiet endurance of public robbery, or the overthrow of
the Ministry which has proposed it."
The following is from the Times :—" Our attention
has been more than once called to the delay which takes
place in the administration of justice, one of the causes
of which has not, we believe, been hitherto the subject
of public censure—we mean the increased and increas-
ing length of forensic speeches. We have heard
of judges, in former times, dispatching twenty or
five and twenty causes a day upon an average ;
whereas at present, if the causes be not undefended,
the most experienced judge will scarcely dispose of more
than four or five. Perhaps to a certain extent the exami-
nation of witnesses may be more laborious and search-
ing—perhaps more trifling, and pushed more into col-
lateral subjects than heretofore ; but certain it is that
the eloquence of the bar is distinguised by a prolixity
unknown to former times. There are persons now
living who can remember the very few words in which
ordinary cases were opened by Lord Erskine. In his
day the speeches of counsel in general did not occupy
more than ten minutes or a quarter of an hour on both
sides, and in cases of unusual magnitude or interest
Lord Erskine's rarely exeeeded an hour ; whereas at
present there are few cases seriously contested in which
the leading counsel on both sides confine the range of
their rhetoric within the space which that celebrated ad-
vocate required fiiihis defence of Lord George Gordon.
Now, as a judge generally sits about six hours in the
day, it follows that he cannot try six, or even five causes,
if the speeches on both sides together occupy an hour
'n eafil cause."
MONEY—TRADE—COMNIERCE

A meeting of the creditors of the Messrs. Wigney's,
took place at the Brighton Town-hall, on Monday : two
large debts, one for 2,0171. and a second for 2,3131. were
proved, as also a third for 30/. ; after which the meeting
adjourned to ten o'clock to-day. The affairs of the sugar
factory in Scotland are said to be very complicated, and
a balance-sheet cannot be produced for some time : the
assets are not likely to be more than able to pay the ex-
penses of working the commission.
