TO CORRESPONDENTS,

The writer who addresses us about maldng a provision for his
family will obtain the information at any respectable insu-
rance office.

mum— is probably quite right in many of his remarks, but
does he not think that sufficient prominence has already
been given by the press to the subject—at least for the pre-
sent. It has been repeatedly handled.

field day. We shall endeavour, as briefly as pos-
sible, to cull a few of the leading points of the two
debates : and commence with an argument in de-
fence of Free Trade, used by the Marquis. of Lans-
downe.

Did he imagine the system of free trade established ?
They were scarcely at the end of the first stage—changing
horses at Barnet'on the road to the north. Sincerely did
he wish that the impatience of taxation already expressed
was all that his noble friend would have to contend with.
At each stage he would be met by obstruction and resist-
ance—not voluntary and hypothetical, but arising from
dire necessity, and out of the nature of things. " War to
the knife" would he have to encounter between British
wages and foreign wages—war to the knife between white
bread and black bread—war to the knife between poor
laws and no poor laws—between a nation with poor laws
and a world without them,—war to the knife between the
lawful insanity of an abstract dogma and the lawless in-
sanity of the lucifer match. And well would it be if, in
the prosecution of this ruthless scheme to make the rich
richer, and the poor poorer, the walls of the house even
in which they sat were not shaken to their very founda-
tion."
That the impatience of taxation, here spoken of,
does exist, and is growing, cannot be denied ; and
its possible consequences, in the event of any sud-
den frenzy of the people, urged on by unprincipled
men, are fearful to contemplate. •

Lord Redesdale, in introducing the subject of
agricultural distress, had referred to the fact that,
by the diminution which had taken place in the
wages of the labouring classes, a large sum had
been abstracted from the income of the country,
and, consequently, in its ability to consume both
home-made and foreign products. Lord Lans-
downe, however, takes a different view of the mat-
ter. "The true representative of the income of
a country," he says, "was the amount of luxuries
and comforts which that income would command ;
and if, under an alleged diminution of income, he
saw a great increase in the consumption of such
luxuries and comforts, he should be inclined to
infer that, in reality, the income of the country was
essentially increased." Let us test this doctrine
.by a practical case. The agricultural labourer, or
the manufacturing operative, is receiving 7s. 6d.

TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 19, 1850,

THE budget of 1850 has by this time been
perused in every corner of the empire; and although
we have not heard as yet "the general hum of
applause " which the London Times informs us it
"is sure to call forth," we must acknowledge that
it is a marvellous production; and Sir Charles
Wood, we doubt not, is at this moment one of the
most delighted of chancellors. A Whig financial
statement without a deficiency, and the proposal
of a new tax, or a loan, is an almost unprece-
dented achievement. But a surplus of two millions
and a quarter was enough to drive its fortunate
_Jsor frantic with excess of joy or bewildered
with the thought what he was to do with so much
money. Unfortunately, however, there was a
slight hitch at the outset of the story, which must
have slightly damped the worthy baronet's extacies.
There were some excesses from the army, navy
and ordnance estimates, amounting to £642,67
to provide for out of this year's revenue. `!
actual surplus, therefore, amounts to £1,625,000.
In the coming year Sir Charles anticipates a
falling off in the revenue derived from some articles,
as compared with the present year. He thinks it
necessary to provide for a decrease in the sugar
duties, and a falling off in the receipts from grain,
brandy, rum, and British spirits. Allowing for
this, he puts down his estimated revenue for the
year ending 6th April, 1851, at £52,285,000, and
the expenditure at £50,613,582, leaving a surplus
of £1,671,418. From this, however, he proposes
to allow for an increased grant for the new Houses
of Parliament ; £30,000 for the operation of the
Merchant Seaman's Bill, and a vote for the Arctic
expedition. Deducting this expenditure, the sur-
plus, with which he considers that he has a right
to depend upon as applicable to reduction of taxa-
tion, will be, in round numbers, £1,500,000.
What to do with this is the question which has
agitated the ministerial mind; and it remains to
be seen whether the determination which has at
length been arrived at is one which will be regarded
with a great amount of satisfaction by the public.
Sir Charles Wood and his colleagues conceive that,
with the exception of the agricultural interests,
the whole of the community is in a state of grow-
ing prosperity; and that we are now in a state of
ability to commence the great work of paying off
our debt of nearly 800 millions sterling. lie pro-

THE PROBABLE EFFECT OF THE REPEAL OF
THE BRICK DUTY.

THE debates in the two houses, on Tuesday
evening last, exhibit, on the part of Government
and the Free-trade party, a rather ricketty state of
things. The policy of the Manchester school of
economists was supported in one house by
assertions, so glaringly wide of the truth that it can
only strike any man with wonder that a nobleman
could be found hardy enough to attempt to palm
them upon the world ; whilst, in the other, the fact
was broadly mooted that a perseverance in that
policy would endanger not only the peace of the
empire, but that most cherished principle of Eng-
lishmen, their determination to maintain inviolate
their honesty towards the public creditor. Glib.
j
tongued journalists, and well-paid ministerial offi-
cials, may discourse about "sham motions," and
"traps" set to catch the unwary; but the lightest
straws thrown up serve to shew which way the
wind blows, and the tendency of the national mind
is quite as correctly indicated by the result of such
a motion as that of Mr. Drummond, as by that of
a debate on the address, or any other ministerial

Since the publication of the Budget, announcing
amongst the imposts remitted the duty upon bricks, we
have found some misapprehension expressed, both with
respect to the extent of its pressure during its existence,
and that of the relief likely to be experienced from its
removal. We think it right, therefore, to offer a few
observations on both points.
The duty upon bricks heretofore has been ss. 10d. per
thousand, with five per cent. added, or a nett amount of
6s. 11d. per thousand. Every brick was required to be of
a specified size, namely, 9 inches long, 41 wide, and 21 in
thickness, before being dried. The duty was estimated
by the count as the article came from the moulder's
hands; but ten per cent. was allowed for the quantity
broken in the process of burning.
In order to estimate the amount of benefit likely to be
derived by the public from its repeal we may state that it
would require about fifty thousand bricks to erect a small
cottage, say of £lO to £l2 per annum, according to its
situation, and the saving in such a building will therefore
for theou It
p
material will not be diminished,, butt rather that increased quantities will be used for outward walls and
for party walls, and probably that good bricks will be put
into foundations, instead of old bricks, coarse rubble-
stone, &c. A great advantage will also be derived from
the liberty given to parties to make the article of any size
most suited to their work, and the labour will be saved
which is at present wasted in chipping bricks to make
them fit in to certain dimensions.
Hitherto, in the few instances in7which bricks of an in-
creased size have been manufactured for particular pur-
poses, government have imposed in some instances a duty
and a half, and occasionally two duties, upon the thou-
sand. For the erection of agricultural buildings, cul-
verts, &c., for drainage, and for the carrying out of
sanitary improvements, the abolition of the duty will
afford great facilities, both as regards the reduced price
at which the article can be afforded, and the fact that
they can in future be moulded to any shape required.
It is scarcely to be expected that the effect of the
measure will be to give any immediate impulse to the
building trade, as the stocks on hand are heavy in most
localities, and have been selling for the last two years at
ruinous prices. We may mention, as an example, that in
Birkenhead, bricks, which were a few years ago in regular
demand at from 20s. to 245. per thousand, have recently
been sold for Bs., or only two shillings more than the
duty ! A large stock is also held in Liverpool, the owners
of which, unless the duty paid is returned, must be very
serious losers.

The fine new packet-ship William Raihbone arrived
here yesterday afternoon from New York.
The Rev. J. B. Lowe, assistant chaplain of the Magda-
len Asylum, Leesom-street, Dublin, has been appointed
minister of St. Jude's Church, Liverpool.
COLLISION ON THE RIVER.—The case between the
owners of the Fairy, Egr2mont steamer, and the owners
of the schooner Sarah, which latter, it will be remem-
bered, was sunk in the river some time ago, was, we hear,
decided in the Admiralty Court yesterday. The judg-
ment of the court was in favour of the Messrs. Colbourne,
the owners of the steamer.

THE WEATHER.—During the last fortnight (or more)
the weather has been exceedingly seasonable, and, we may
add, cheering and delightful. Its general character has
been clear sunny days and bright starry nights, with gentle
and rather frosty winds, varying from the S.E. to the W.
and N.W. points of the compass, a fine temperature
for field operations in ploughing, sowing the spring corn,
harrowing, &c. The observation also applies to spade
and other culture in gardens. The roads in the country
and the streets in these districts are dusty dry; and though
the air is somewhat cold for persons of delicate constitu-
tions, it is exactly what is wanted in the country to check
premature vegetation, which is liable in this latitude to
be afterwards nipped by succeeding frosts. The wheats look
well, and the grass fields are becoming brightly green.
THE BOSTON MAILS.—It will be seen by our shipping
intelligence that the Ivanhoe, Captain Knight, which
sailed from New York on the 21st ultimo, one day after
the departure of the last steamer, arrived on Sunday.
She has not, however, brought the missing Boston and
Halifax mails. It is supposed they would be forwarded
by the Constitution, oa the 22nd, which vessel is not at
the time we write telegraphed. The Ivanhoe passed the
ships Silas Greenman and Hendrik Hudson going in. Off
the Islands of Neversink, saw the Isaac Wright. Forty
miles east of Sandy Hook, saw one of the London packets,
with a jury foretopmast, going in. On 22nd ultimo, lat.
40 33 N., long. 69 33 W., passed the De Witt Clinton.
On 3rd instant, lat. 47 long. 33, spoke the Marmion. On
15th instant, spoke the Guy Mannering, Tuskar W.N.W.
22 miles. The Ivanhoe took the east wind on the 6th
instant, lat. 50 N., long. 16 W.
