1hree Ddys Later From Englaad By the British harqne, St. Leonard, Capt RUrHERFoRD, arrived or Saturday from London we have been favored witt the London Itmes of the 10th February, the only paper brought by her.
 large portion of this paper is occupied with q deDate on the Finances, which occurred the preced ing evening, in the course of which the various items contalned m the budget were touched upon. The proposed duty of 1d per ID. upon cotton was oppos- ed, on the ground that it would press most heavily on the imports from the East Indies and other Brit ish Colonies generally; the Cotton from which, it was contended would be taxed twice as high as the Cottons imported from any other part of the world If duty to be laid upon the article and ad valo- rem one was preferable to the specific duty proposed upon all descriptions of cotton, without regard to value deputation of those interested in cotton, waited upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the
 4th febrnary, to remonstrate against the proposed duty, and were told, that it twas indispensable to his plan of inance that he should obtain revenue of about half million from cotton, and that if they were unable to devise any other mode, that part of the budget must be persevered in"
 A letter oi the 10th says-'You will that it is proposed to alter the duty cotton, by adding Id. per lb.; but the Chancellor will most likely be beat out of his plan."
 The Chancellor of the Excheauer had very promptly given up his proposed taxupon the trans fer of property in the funds in consequence of the very general disapprobation which had been ex- pressed of the measure.

 The Italian Journals furnish us with no ntelli- gence as to the disturbances reported to have taken place Tn several parts of Italy but know that the perecutions of the Vce-Legate of Bologna, as well the searches made in the houses of several persons of mown principles, have much increased the dis content previously existing. A new popular society has been formed in the Abruzzes, which meets in the mountains to form plans for contending against despotism. The news from Tuscany is not more to the satisfaction of the enemies of liberty disconent prevails in all the principal towns, and particularly at Piia, Plstola and Sienna where the inhabitants are wtthng for favorable moment to shake off the yoke and render Italy independent. Ever since October prtpartions have been making and arms and arnmu- nifon have been providing, particularly at Pesaro, Rihini and the principal towns of the Legaons.- TBe public mind is most exasperated in the Grand Dtchy of Modena; the military school is in state of flerment and the pupils burn with desire to im tate the example of the Polytechnic School of Paris The refusal of the Grand Duke to acknowledge Louis Phillip as king of the Frendb, has increased the general irritation. The secret Nsocietes have great in influence in these countries, and it is from them that the first movement will spring.
