THREE DAYS
LATER FROM ENGLAND,
ARRIVAL OF THE QUEEN OF THE WEST.


The mammoth packet ship Queen of the West,
Capt Woodhouse, arrived yesterday morning from
Liverpool. She sailed thence on the 7th uIt.
This great ship has brought four hundred and
NIFTY steerage passengers thereby increasing the
wealth OF this country in labor, &c. at least
$50. 900.
There appears to be very little news in the pa
pers.
There was great deal Of activity in the Liver
pool cotton market, and large sales were made.
Pnces were very firm, but no higher than on the
4.h instant. Some accounts state that there has
been an advance Of an eight OF penny per pound !;
but these accounts are incorrect See Money
Article" in to-day's paper.
The news from India which we gave yesterday,
is looked upon important There will always
be trouble in that section so long az England con-
tinues her aggressions.
The London money market was easy.
Charlotte Cushman continues to carry all before
her in London.
The Income Tax passed through committee on
Wednesday evening, March 5, with hardly show
of opposition, In thin House, only mastering l19
at the division. We have given elsewhere sketch
of the discussion, and we REFER with feelings Of dis
gust and indignation to the insolent and haunting
tone of popularity with which Sir Robert Peel met
all suggestions for the improvement of his own
precious bantng. A time will come when they
will be remembered to his cost. The income tax,
then. is to be continued for three years certain, and
he who believes that it will be taken off at the
end Of that period, voluntarily at least, must be
endowed with an amazing fund Of superstition -
The vague promises OF Sir Robert Peel and the
Chancellor of the Exchequer are also much moon
shine.
The new Peel Tariff has made but slow progress
since our last, marred as it is by the omission
OF all reference to corn, provisions, and tea, by
most absurd and mlschievous arrangement Of the
sugar duties, and by the retention OF all the mi
quities Of the income tax.
Peel's income tax may act as premium on i'm
morality thus: man and woman, with El49 a
year each, agreeing to live together without the
they marry, they are Immediately down for uni
ted income of E293, and tax of 80 18s 3D..
1t was reported that Mr.. Gladstone was about to
re-enter the Cabinet, in higher post than the ono
he resigned. 1t was said too that he had recons-
dered the subject OF educational grants for Ireland
and was prepared to cooperate with the Ministry
on that question. eN
Sir Robert Peel has announced that Government
will bring forward a measure to remove the civil
disabilities Of the Jews.
A bill is before the House of Commons, making
provision for garden allOtments to the poor from
common lands. The Government was not unfa-
vorable to the principle of the bill.
Several petitions havebeen:presen in heHouse
of Lords, praying for revision OF the rubrics of
the church OF England. The. presentation Of the
expain-he denied any necessity to defend himself
his conduct in the movements that have recently
transpited His chief argument was that having
found dlversltles OF practice In his diocese, he
ed that all spiritual power vestedin the clergy
and that the Grown had no right to impose rubrics
and concluded by commenting with some asperity
upon the petitions and cautonins the House against
nnuf her fean
as had been done by their ancestors in 164l.
1t Is said that serious split has taken place be-
tween the leading members of the Repeal Commit
tee on the question OF mixed education, Mr.
O'Connell opposing, and Mr.. w. S. O'Brien and
Young Ireland supporting it. sf1
Sir Robert Peel. who is now so Mortified at
slavery, votednpot very long ago, against the abo-
Iiton Of female fosging in the West Indies
letter from Mons D'Abadie, dated Alden, Oct
H. states that he has discovered the source of the
White Nile, In the Ganira country.
IMPORTATION OF SLAvE-aRowN SueAR.-On Sun.
day last the American ship Franconia arrived in
this port, bringing Gas part Of her cargo,) twelve
hogsheads Of Louisiana sugar. Thisis the first ar
rival of American grown sugar in this country; but
we suspect 1t is only the beginning Of trade which
one, if thelnew sugar duties of Sir Robert Peel
should pass in their present form. According to
the provisions Of the proposed bill, the sugars OF
the United States are to be admitted without dis
"
labor sugars of Java and Manila; the Minister in
deed, having power, under existing treaties with
the United States, to admit the one.and exclude
the other; and as the sugars OF the nations not pos
sessing such treaties, in which slavery exists, are
not to have this advantage, the sugar planters OF
the United States will have superiority over the
planters of Cuba and Brazil, which will secure
them pretty arly monopoly of slave grown su-
saw samples OF two other expected lots Of Ameri-
can sugar; both of which had been examined BY
sugar broker, who states that they will leave a
try, even il the Price Of sugar should a to the S tai
extent OF the duty repealed. The prices, therefore.
are no obstacle; and what renders it still more
likely that this trade will become considerable, is
that the sugar cropin Louisiana was last year much
that gentleman who was on one Of the sugar
plantations between New Orleans and Belize about
three months ago, was offered any quantity Of su-
Id. per pound Liverpool Times.
ASSAM TKA.-There has this week been the
largest sale OF Assam tea ever offered. It CON-
prlsed 1888 chests, imported by the Assam Compa-
ny from their own estates and GA chests on private
favorable accounts from their plantations, and some
individuals have associated themselves here under
the name Of the Assam Company, to see this
dsscrlPtIon Of tea fairly brought before the
British capital staked in the experiment renders it
matter OF considerable interest; and 10 satisacto-
ny to learn that the quality is decidedly improving,
and that the fine class black descriptions excited
much competition, realizing very full prices say Is
