Several interesting topics occupied the attention of
the Commons last night. Mr. MABERLY, in moving
to• Accounts relative to Exchequer Bills, took occa-
sian to observe, that the expectation, held out last
y.'Ar by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER of a
Fund •if Five Millions, had all failed ; that,
including the new ;axes, the Revenue had greatly
fallen off ; that necessity demanded that the finances
sao•.iii In placed on a permanent footing ; that too
great a pt.,o-):ti.nt of the taxes were borne by the
productive c:assei ; and that a part of the most op-
pressive of the taxes shoald be taken °I, and a Pro-
perty Tax ofTen per Cent. be. imposed in their stead—
a real Property Tax, and no: o.te on Income or Pro-
fessions. lie observed, that the Landholders could
Lot with fairness object to such a tax, when they con.:
sidered that they had been enabled to sell their pro-
duce at a rate so much higher than that at which it
could have been imported from other countri,:s ; and
on a supposition that fifteen millions of (porters of
:,,rain were annually consumed in the country, and
that the addition to the price from the Corn Laws
was. at an average, one pound per quarter, they had
th.us levied a tax of fifteen millions per annum on the
est of :!lc community.

The CITANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in answer,
said, there had been such an increa!:e in the Customs
:rnd ExcLe, a; to be only about ;11:100,000 short of
the estimate on the whole year ; and also an increase
on Malt, so as to make the whole come nearly up to
:he estimate. There xvas, it was true, a deficiency on
the whole year, owing to the Octcher Quarter being
'port, occasioned by a deficiency in Trade and other
causes,of nearly E 1,000,000. llc declined giving an:,
explameion Of his financial arrangements, as it
be a dereliction of Lis duty.

JouN SMITH also strongly urged the adoption
some permanent system of Finance, to prevent Ca-
from going out of the country. •
+1:•. BARING poke of drafts on the Treasury, at
hilg dates, being iiu i.l circulation on the Contincnt.
cIIANcELLOII 01 the I..:::cilt.uuLr, said, that in

about two months accounts tirouid be presented which
would explain the- cause, but any explanation at pre-
sent would be attended with inconvenience.

Tho Paris Papers of Tue;day arrived this forenoon.

Tine incendiary Gravicrs has bezn discovered to be
the person who made the first attempt to explode a
petard under the windows of the Thuilleries, as well
as the last. From letters found on him, it appears
that he was in correspondence with several well-
' known capitalists. An insinuation is added in the
Gozelte de France, which we give as we find it; not
tnom the lea-t wish to countenance it, by repetition,
but to spew how the Government can allow its mi-
nions to stab at the must respectable characters, from
under the shield of the Censorship, merely because
they happen to he independently opposed to its mea-
sures :—" The day before his arrest, he had dined
avec (les tp ands et CONSTA NS Liberaux de saforee, and
they parted singing the chorus, 70-morrow, To-mor-
row ! &c.

The Report relative to Lori; el is to be made to the
Chamber of Peers to-marrow (Saturday). On Mott
day the criminal will be brought up to hear the in-
dictment read. Ile will then be required to choose
Coun:.el ; on his refusal, one will be appointed by the
Cuurt of Peers. Ilis trial will be proceeded is dui ing
Whitsun-wcek.

In the Chamber of Deputies on Monday, nothing
of the least interest occurred.
