      HOUSE OF LORDS—Fridat , May 5 . JTo icsine&s of importance . Momut , Mat 8 . The Earl * of Clarendon and Radnob presented seven ! petitions for ft total repeal of the Con Laws . Lord Rodeh and Lord Glen gall presented petitions on the present Byste > m of Poor Laws in Ireland , deprecating the agitation raised against it . The Marquii of ClaKB . icaRDB moved for a Select Committee of inquiry respecting the operation et the Irish Poor Law Act The Duke of Wellington opposed tbe motion , on the ground that the bill had received mature consideration when introduced , and that there was a bill in the Commons for amending the Act .

      The Marquis of Clasbicabdk withdrewhu motion , ¦ on an understanding from tbe Duke of Wellington that when tbe bill same up from the Commons , if a motion should be made to refer it to a Select Committee , he would leave the mailer to tbe sense of the House . Aaionnjed at cine o ' clock .

      Tcesdat , Mat 9 . The Earl of Roden called attention to the condition of Ireland , consequent on the agitation for the Repeal of the Union , which was producing great miicMvf , except in the province of Ulster , where the peopV were Bull sound and loyal , and ready to do in 1 S 43 what they had so effectually done in 1738 . The Duke of Wellisgton said that the Irish Go-Tcrnment werealireto the importance of the matter , and were aided by the supreme Government in the precautions which they were taking to ensure tbe public peace in Ireland . The Government were determined to maintain , inviolate the integrity of tbe empire , and he was sure that Parliament would aid them in so doing .

      Lord Bbocgham said that a severance of the Legi-lative Union would be , in fact , a disruption of the empire , to prevent which this country vrou'd pot forth its whole strength , moral and physical , on tbe first int-m&uon of its necessity , Tae Marquis of Lansdcvtne ? a ; d that the Government might rely with ccnSieuee upon the efforts of the Hous « , in maintenance of ihs integrity of the « mpire . The Marquis of Down-shirk said that it was highly requisite that attention shonid be directed to the present excited state of the people of Ireland , upon this question . Lord Cakpbsll presented a petition , which araic brought tbe scotch Church question under dUussion ; and the Marqais of BreaBalbane asked Lord Abesdebk how the Government . intended to deal with the subject ?

      Lord ABEKDE 2 S said he had before stated the course which the Government would pursne , but he had no objection to repeat ; it . He should be -very glad if he could prevent the disruption of-the Church of Scotland , which it was Fiid would follow the secession of some of its ablest minister-. After a short conversation , in which the Duke of Argyle , Lord Brougham , and Lord ^ CampbdS joined , the petition was laid npon i . *< . table , and their lordships adjourned .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Fbidat , Mat 5 . Mr . Lane Fox , in reply to Mr . Smith O'Brien , said , aa he perceived by tbe newspapers that Mr . O Connell had declared he would not attend the discussion of his motion respecting agitatioa for the Repeal of tbe Union , he would not bring it on in hi * absence ; but that he would address him a public letter in order to let him know what he meant to do . On the motion for going into committee of the whole House , on the endowment of additional ministers in popoSoas places , Mr . HtHE asked if it wou ] d involve a grant of public money ? Sir R . Peel replied that it would not . The House then went into committe * . and

      Sir S Peel proceeded to state the grounds on which he felt it necessary to call the attention cf the House to the subject . Seme progress bad been made in orrfer to remedy ihe admitted evil * arising from the populv . ion outrunning tbe means of public instruction and pastoral care . But the existing deficiency was still great and nndenisble . How waa it to be supplied ? The G > Ternment fcad come ta the conclusion that accruing ecclesiastical revenues should for the pretext be mnA e applicable to the purpose ; and if these should prove insufficient , that then it would be their duty to app ' . y to Parliament for additional aid . Great practical benefit fead resulted from the labours of the Ecclesiastical Commission appointed in 183 * , during the abort ptriod that he w& * at the head of the administration at that

      time . The commission had directed their attention to adjusting the unequal division of tbe diocests aud labours of the bishops , asd to tbe reduction of the numbers of cathedral establishments ; and as Parliament had given effect to their recommendations , there ¦ was now accruing an annual sum . of £ 25 000 out of tbe revenues cf the suppressed canonries , which was applicable to the augmentation of small livings and to making provision for spiritual destitution . The present annual amount appropriated to that purpose by the CommiEaonera was £ 32 . 000 ; but it iu calculated that in a few years there would be a great increase in the acnnsJ amount of the revenues which were available to the Ecclesiastical CorumiMioners . He , therefore , proposed to anticipate this accruing

      income , to provide for tbe present epirituaF destitution of the people ; and he gave the details of a scheme by which he proposed to effect it . The Governors of Queen AnDt ' s bounty had at this moment a capital s ' yock standing in their names to the amount of £ 1 , 200 , 000 , the interest of which is applicable to . specific purposes . Of this he proposed to borrow £ . 600 , 000 to be secured on the fntore accruing revennes of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners ; and this borrowed stock is to be applied , in annual amounts of £ 30 , 080 , to the immediate augmentation of the means of spiritual instruction . He explained the particulars of the plan for the repayment , by which he calculated itbfctin I 860 tbe Ecclesiastical Commissioners will have * G * nnnal amount to provide of £ 80 , 000 , for which it

      rM . srpected that they will have by that time ample jm _ , arising from accruing revenues . The borrowed jam , in annual amoonta of £ 30 , 000 , ia intended to be « iiplisd , not to the building of ehnrcbe * . but to tbe . ^ jwiojoaent of ministers , and to be connected with tbe ltd < sl local subscription * . Great benefit ha * already n « lted iron -voluntary « ub * cripUons , for building efcwciws . ; and nothing could mere conduce to the proxaotkm . af - { bete church building subscriptions , than by providing for the endowment of ministers . He hoped tbat inihese-sndowmentsicare would be taken to assign each mioifito * given district ; though be did not . thick itaX the . endowment of the minister should wait on

      the oovetraotiom of the church . He would rather first plats * jui « i * ter in a destitute district , confident thst * 2 w « ectien cf a church -would sp + tdi j foilow the « ceee * -of his labours . Looking to tr . « destitute eondiiwo of the population , he felt th- err . t importance - "if immediate action ; and seeing that he did tot a £ k for c grant of public money , ht t- i ^ a i ^ e Bouse trould imaaimpii&Iy sgree xo the pTo ^ - osr- ^ rent Die Not bat tsathe fhonJd iiie to gtt a gra :,: vt _ mr >; -c xno-ey for thfc per rose ; _ be : he Wis Etx : wy f ..-r ciiaiiiiiuty , t ^ d he vt .-a Sitisfie' ! tbat r ; tit \ . r-y -cj spplicit ' . ii ' cf t « lt 5 : 2 s : ieal reven ^ t : o : rr = r ^ - df = t -Hvuld be -: \ - e =: not onlj f : l ¦ - t :: i- -.---. : >•;

      late years , is the religious liberality of possessor ! of Property attached to the establishment He concluded with proposing a resolution on which to found a motion for leave to bring in a bill in ordwr to carry ont the plan of endowment . Sir R , H . Inglia , Lord DanRsmnon , Captain Bernal , Mr . Colquhoun , Lord John Russell , Mr . Hume . Mr . Pakington , Mr . Gisborne , Mr . Piamptre , Mi Borthwick , Lord Ssndon , Mr . Campbell , Mr . Herbert Corteie , Lord John Manners , Mr . Acland , and Mr . Br » - therton , took place ia the debate , after which the resolution was agreed to , and the House having resumed with tbe Speaker in the chair , leave was given to bring is a bill founded on it .

      The remaining . business was then gone through , inclnding the introduction of a bill , by Sir James Graham , to regulate the Milbank Penitentiary , and the House adjourned .

      MONDAY , Mat 8 . The Speaker informed the House that the securities for the prosecution of the Nottingham petition against the last election were unexceptionable . Numerous petitions were presented against the Factories Edacation Bill . Mr . Roebuck gave notiee that at an early opportunity he would call the attention of the House to the occupation of Scinde . In answer to a question from Mr . French , Lord Eliot said that the reports as to certain gentlemen having been dismissed from the Commission of the Peace for taking part in repeal meetings , were without foundation .

      The Chancellor of the Exchequer brought on the bndget , to which we have referred in a separate article . The House adjourned at half-past eleven .

      TUESDAY , Mat 9 . Amongst the private and preliminary business , there was a strong muster , and a somewhat lively debate on the Northampton and Peterborough Kailway Bill . Lord Jotceltn put a question similar to tbe one put by his father , the Earl of Rod en , in the House of Lords , respecting the agitation for the repeal of the Union . Sir Robert Peel quoted from the parliamentary proceedings of 1834 , respecting the necessity and

      importance of the preservation of the legislative union , and declared that on the part of her Majesty he was empowered to re-echo the sentiments then expressed both by the Sovereign and jointly by the Legislature . The Government were alive to the necessity of preserving the peace of Ireland ; and though reluctant to ask for additional powers , they would not , for a moment , shrink from doing so , if it should prove to be necessary , in order to put down attempts to procure the dismemberment of the

      empire . Sir Robert Pftel spoke with considerable animation , and he wae loadly cheered by a fall and excited House . The Spkakeb called oa Mr . Villiers to proceed with his motion on the Oarn Laws ; which wa 8 the signal for the presentation of a great number of petitions on the subject . Mr . Vilukrs then rose to move " That this Honse will resolve itself into a committee , for the purpose of considering the dnties affecting the importation of foreign corn , with a view to their immediate abolition . " Mr . Villiers Stuart seconded the motion ,

      Mr . Gladstone declared the determination of the Government not to leave any doubt as to their intentions . The proposed Canadian corn bill was not an amendment of the Corn-law ; it was but a part of the measures which had been planned last year , and remained to be completed . It was true that the Corn-law , like every commercial law , partook of the nature of an experiment , but it also partook of the nature of a contract , and it would be a breach of faith to entertain a proposition for its repeal , before it had received anything like a fair trial . Mr . Christopher and Mr . Roebuck took part in the debate , which was then adjourned .

      THE TUG OF WAR . O'CONNELL , THE DUKE , AND THE REPEAL . So . ' so ! The game thickens . The earnestness of faction becomes apparent ; and its seeming greatness waxes bold . Every now circumstance tends to justify the people ' s policy in hurling from the seat of power the half-halting timorous and perfidious Whigs , and in narrowing the field of action and the chance of battle by a concentration of the powers of the enemy . The great advantage of it is that it will bring on the pitched battle . It will " pit" the force of tyranny against tbe power of an enlightened , peaceful , but determined people . There is a temerity—a sort of manliness of front and bearing—in the Tories

      which shews better " where to have them . " They are an open foe , and they avow it fairly and " come out . " There is no shrinking , nor blinking the matter" with them . They " take the bull" fairly "by the horns "; and thus bring to issue the question between right and might . Did we fear the issue , or did we think the people unprepared to " bide " it , we might wish the temporisers were again " at home " . We do not . We think the power of public opinion all-sufficient to check rampant faction in its fiercest onslaught ; and we hear therefore without fear the " rattle" which gives preEage of the long deferred attack . The war is now to become general . The policy of skirmishing with Chartists only is to be abandoned . They have gathered so much strength

      from every new attack that despotism finds out the necessity of "looking sharply round " , and the Tories are about to take the step which their friends of the late Ministry would have been glad to do but dare not . They are about to take strong measures against Mr . O'Co ^ exl and the Repeal Agitation in Ireland . In both M Houses" the note of preparation" has be « n soanded at the same time . In the House of Lords Earl Roden brought the Duke upon his legs by asking what the Government intended with reference to the Repeal Agitation . He reminded him of former pledges from himself and Pekl : of their avowed determination to suppress it even at the expence of a resort to force" and of " dying the scaffold and the plains of Ireland with

      blood" ; and he required the Government to say , positively , whether they were now disposed to carry ont these threats . We give the Duke ' s answer , as we find it in the Times : — " My Lords , the Government of Ireland is sensible of the feelings of excitement which exist In certain parts at Ireland on the subject of the Repeal of the Union , and it is also aware of the danger which may be the result of that excitement—( bear , hear ) . The attention

      of the Government has , my Lords , been given to the state of excitement that prevails , and to the measures which have been adopted in order to keep it up , and the Government of Ireland and Her Majesty ' s servants here have adopted mearares in order to enable tbe IrUh Government with certainty to preserve the peace of that country in case any attempt shall be made to disturb it , and to prevent the success cf any measures which any mischievous persons in Ireland may have in contemplation for the purpose of disturbing the

      peace . " There can be no deubt , my Lords , of the determination of tbe legislature and of the Government to maintain inviolate the onion between the two portions of the United Kingdom ; and there can be no doubt , also , as to the duty of Her Majesty ' s Government to act accordingly— ( hear , bear ) . It is the determination of Her Majesty's Government to maintain that onion , and to come down to Parliament and to call on Parliament U give to H « r Majesty ' s Government its support in carrying into execution any measures that m » y be necessary In order to maintain the union , and to preserve from disturbance tbe peace of Her Majesty ' s dominions—( cheers ) . "

      " My Lords , this is the opinion of Her Majesty ' s Government at the present moment , and upon this opinien , and in fall confidence of receiving tbe support of Parliament , Her Majesty ' s Government will invariably act—( cheers ) . A similar application from Lord Jocblth , in the Honse of Commons , brought from Sir Robert Peel a Etill stronger expression of determination to put down the Repeal movement . Sir Robert is reported to have said : — ^ " 1 have to state , for the information of my Noble - : t a ar . d < A vtc Hvie , th : it Ik-t ilajest \ 'a Govern-• • • t b . th h . y . ..- . ar . ii ani Jreinnd . ttv fu ; l ? alive to '• - " - " v - ' : :. - - , \ , , ¦ ¦ \ v : , ., > ure . - - - - ' — - < l . .

      > htch the law gives to the Government which shall not be osed to maintain that union , tbe repeal of which wonld not e-nly be tbe repeal of an act of Parliament , but a dismemberment of this great empire . ( Keiterated cheers . ) Of this I am confident , that the executive Government loses nothing in moral and legal strength by confiding as long as possible in the ordinary powers which the law and the constitution give them . I am unwilling , without argent necessity , to disparage tho ordinary law by asking for increased enactments—( hear , hear ) , but I do not hesitate to Bay that if necessity sb « uld arise her Majesty ' s Government will at once apply to Parliament for those additional and effectual powers which will enable them lo avert the mighty evils which must accrue , not only to England but to Ireland , from any attempt to dissolve the existing union . ( Much cheering . ) I here subscribe to and

      repeat the decarntians made in this place on a former occasion by Lord Althorp , —that , deprecating all war , and especially deprecating civil war , there is nevertheless no alternative which I should not consid « r preferable to the dismemberment of this great empire . ( Enthusiastic cheering from the ministerial side . ) But I hope , Sir , that our forbearance -will n » t be miBConstrued ; I trust we shall only obtain additional strength by deferring our call for new powers until more urgent necessity shall arise , and meanwhile I hope I have given proof tbat we shall not fail to ask those pewets if it shall be found necessary to demand them in order to fulfil the desire expressed by Parliament in the year 1834 . ( Much applause . ) Sir , I have only fuitherto thank the Noble Lord for the opportunity he has afforded me of making this public declaration on the part of Her Majesty ' s advisers . "

      Here , then , are avowals which leave no doubt as to the course which has been determined on" War , war to the knife , against Repeal" is to be the watchword of the day ; and the struggle against the risiDg spirit of liberty is to be shifted from , the English to the Irish shore . The full phial of oppression , and the full measure of iniquity , are now to be served up to Ireland , and she is to be " coerced" in earnest . Not merely are her green fields and her fertile valloys to be made , as usual , the theatre of rapine recognised by law and the scenes of destitution the result of crime ;—not the crime of the destitute , but of those who made him destitute ;—not merely are the wonted and accustomed acts of outrage to be re-perpetrated , and , if possible , perpetuated , but tbe very tongue of murmur must be Bilenoed , and the badge of slavery be accompanied by its proper counterpart , " the sag " !

      What say 8 Ireland to the prospect of the gifts in store for her ! What saya Ireland ' s mouthpiece , Mr . O'Connell ? We have seenjthe fiat of Government ; the "declaration of war" from Sir Robert and " the Iron Duke" ; let us see how O'Connell is prepared to meet it . Let us have his own account of bis own position , and his own strength . He seems not to be unaware of the nature of the coming conflict , and he appears to contemplate with confidence its coming . At a great * ' Repeal Demonstration" held a few days ago at Sligo he reviewed his strength in terms which , though somewhat long , we here place before our readers , that they may fairly view the battle field and the belligerentB . O'Connell is reported to have said : —

      <¦ It was a majestic sight to see bo many thousands of bum an beiDgs congregated together in the purest highest , and noblest cause tbat ever yet animated human patriotism . ( Cheers . ) Their conntry was a province ; she should be a nation . ( Cheering . ) The Iron hand of despotism bad been upon her . The starless night of desolation had ruled her destiny for centuries , but the day was coming , the hour was approaching , tbe time was at hand when her sons would lift 'heir voices to heaven , and cruel man would be forced to yield t » the necessity of succumbing to tbe wishes of a virtuoui and a noble nation . ( Loudcheers . ) What they were looking for was plainly their righttbe right of all human beings to self government

      What they required was , that Ireland should have Irishmen , and tbat Irishmen should have Ireland . They would let the English have England , the Scotch have Scotland , the French have France , but they should iDsist on the Irish having Ireland . ( Great cheers . ) For tbe last seven hundred years Ireland had been governed by anything bnt by her own sans ; but tbe Irish had at length grown too many ; theyi had grown too wise , they bad grown too temperate , th « y had grown too peaceably determined , not to succeed in restoring their country to her national importance . iCheers . ) • We most be a nation . ( Enthusiastic applause . ) Ireland cannot continue to be a province . ( Renewed che « rs . ) The waves of the Atlantic

      may , by possibility , career over her kills and mountains , but nothing Bave tbe eternal flood of the mighty ocean can quench the Same of the majestic dob ^ ui that lights , invigorates , and warms In tbe sacred cause of national independence . ( Great cheering . ) Nothing but the extinction of tbe nation can extinguish the demand—nothing bnt the annihilation of all her people can retard the success of our movement Somebedy says that we will not sneceed , and that I am merely always going about from place to place . But what are the elements of success ? Is not agitation the price necessarily paid for liberty , and Is not our agitation confessedly within the bounds of peace , law , : md the constitution ( hear , bear ) ? I am not to succeed ,

      drawers of water in the land of your birth—tbe slaves of a foreign invasion . You shall bave it no more ! ( The entire company here stood up , and continued cheering for several moments . ) No ; tbe hour is past The morning star beams on the verge of the horizonthe star of light and liberty that will soon enlighten oui hemisphere ^—that invigorates as well as warms—that cheers as well as enlightens every human being in the land .

That will be Bill No . 1 . No . 2 will be suggestions for the beads of a bill for tbe restoration of the ancient Parliament « f Ireland— ( cheers ) . They would have to consider suggestions | for the heads of bills for the conciliation of all parties , and for making a proper application of Ecclesiastical revenues , having of course a due consideration for vested interests . They would also consider suggestions for a bill on the fixity of tenure , in which the landlords' rights would be fully protected , while they would be compelled to perform

      their duties towards their tenantry —( bear ) . Don't you think that would be a good week ' s work to have them in for—( cheers and laughter ) ? We would have all these bills prepared in perfect technical accuracy , and ready to be submitted to tho nex * Parliament that we would find willing to tike them into consideration—( cheers ) . In doing thia , we would violate no law—we would infringe on no part of tbe constitution . The English Parliament , once before , put away their King , and appointed another—the glorious William—in bis place . That was against the letter of the law ; but will any of those who now oppose ub , say tbat it was against tbe spirit of tbe constitution ? It would be time

      for her sacred Majesty to witness her Irish subjects , and what a cheer there will be for her when she lands —( cheers ) . Is not it to be continued as long as she remains in Ireland —( cries of ' yes ' )? Ab no , while she sleeps there will not be a single shout to disturb it . The day is coining on , it is arriving fast , when she will have tbe gratification of opening her Parliament in Dublin , and going down in state , with the Repeal wardens lining tbe streets on both sides—for that shall be a duty confided to them alone , and which no other man shall be allowed to interfere in , because it is they who shall have achieved the victory "—( hear , hear , hear ) .

      Such , then , is the position of the belligerents ; the two hosts—of misrule and liberty—encamped against each other . What should be the conduct of the people—the English people , while the struggle pends 1 Should they stand tamely by and see Ireland immolated without coming to the rescue i Should they aid the tyrants and send "fighting men " to dye her fields with blood , and " thank God ! ' twas our boys did it "? O . No ; No ; No ! Thia ia not their measure of repayment . At least , it shall not be so far as we have influence with them . That

      we have differed with Mr . O'Connell not only upon detail questions , but upon matters of general policy , is a fact too well known to require repetition . We have expressed our opinion of his policy unreservedly , and have not a single word to retract . That we have doubted his sincerity , even upon the question of repeal , we admit . Tbat his conduct has , upon many occasions , been'false and treacherous to the Chartists , is undeniable . That he has not strengthened the party by which he hoped to effect his purpose tea years ago , is matter of history . Bat all these things weigh not a feather in the scale against the necessity for upholding popular liberty

      against factious domination and coercive tyranny . And let the people be assured the cause is not less their own because Ireland is to be the scene of contest . All the great principles to which our souls are wedded are not less at stake in this attack upon the R peal agitation of our Irish brethren , than in the more direct processes ia which the virtue of the English Chartists has alone , and alme&t without Irish aid , worsted a tyrant Government in many successive actions . We know that it is so ; and tbat every nail fastened in the coffin of Irish independence is a dagger piercing the heart of English liberty ; a rivet , making more fast our manacles . Hence would

      we be ashamed , at such a time , to nourish differences or to withhold the band of succour from a nation bravely struggling against tyrant power . Where * soever the flag of liberty contends with tyranny , there do we uplift our weapon for it , ne matter by whom it may be carried . Sinking all other matters in the public weal , we are now prepared to say even to O'Connel J , " If you have now learned the secret that an enlightened public expect , from their professing friends , something more than mere empty sound * and the honour of paying for it ; if you suppose the time has come for realising , or for honestly trying to realise , your couutry's hopes : and if you are

      disposed therefore to put forth your strength in earnest and to fight the battle fairly , we are ready to forget the past and put forth all our energies to save you from the violence with which the Tories threaten you ; and with which , when the Whigs threatened us , you promised to aid them in its perpetration . We will not volunteer as part of 500 , 000 fighting men to trample upon you ; nor will we rejoice if an English Sergeant shall be foremost in the slaughter—for rely upon it there

      will be slaughter before the English executors of a mixed oligarchy will give up their claim to that position which they won by brute force and treachery . Bnt fear not for the issue of the struggle . 'Tib not the first time the Torios have talked big uor will it be the first time of their being worsted . Before tho passing of ' Reform' or' Catholic Emancipation' the Iron Duke and Sir Robert were as confident as now . But England and Ireland carried 4 Reform' and ' Emancipation' in their teeth as they shall yet carry the Charter and Repeal . "

      The people must look out now for the exercise of a stronger arm of power than they have seen exercised for a long time ; and while they come , if need be , to the aid of Ireland with all the chivalry and bold determination of the English character , they must look well to the measuring of their footsteps , that they give no advantage to the common enemy . The % ht must be a moral and a peaceful one . It must be conducted fairly and by legal means . Government threaten to apply to Parliament for new powers ; let us use the powers that we have ; let us use them wisely and not exceed them ; let us look carefully to every step ; let us eschew all

      rash and hasty movements ; let us have neither secreay nor known violation of the law ; let us kick out the skulking braggarts from our camp ; let us array ourselves—English , and Scotch , and Irishmen—under one Common banner , with the flag of freedom and the Charter waving over us : with the Charter , and never before it , will Repeal come ; and the saored tree of Liberty shall take root at once in Britain and in Ireland , and it shall flourish under the fostering genius of democracy , nntil its blessed fruits , social justice and individual enjoyment , causing the flush of happiness to mantle on each face , shall pleasingly but quietly proclaim our triumph .

      THE BUDGET . " PROSPERITY" AND A FALLING REVENUE . " FREE TRADE" AND A "DEFICIENCY . " On Monday night last , " The Budget" of the Chancellor of the Exchequer was opened . It had been looked forward to with no inconsiderable share of interest , many being curious to know what had been the effect of the " Free-Trade Tariff" of last year upon the Revenue , and . what was to be the amount of the New Income Tax .

      Sir Robert Peel when he entered upon office , found a deficient revenue . He found the expenditure exceeding the income very materially ; and the deficiency made up by the issuing of Exchequer Bills , which , in process of time came to be added to the permanent Debt . He pronounced this to be a most unsatisfactory state of the Nation ' s finances ; and devised a scheme to raise the " needful , " so that the deficiency might no longer txist . One part of his scheme was to take a great leap towards complete Free Trade ; and the other the imposition of a tax upon property , and upon income arising from profession .

      On Mondiiy last tho official statement was given , which tnabt .. > n < to judsjo of the efficiency or soundnc-.-s of . "i : (( i ' ' ¦ ¦ '' - ' - ' njcasmv •* , c-oi-fi ti ! t << our atteu-

      That statement is , that they have failed , ! The deficiency is not made up ! The Expenditure , for the yearjending April 5 th , 1843 , is , in round number , £ 51 , 160 , 000 . The Income is £ 48 , 740 , 000 The excess op Expenditubb over Income , is £ 2 , 420 , 000 ! The amount of Income-tax received up to April 5 " . h , 1843 , and included in the above account of " Income , " is £ 2 , 456 , 000 . So that , had it not been for the Income-tax , the excess of Expenditure over Income would have been just upon £ 5 , 000 , 080 ! Hero then is a test of " Free Trade . " The

      Tariff , being the larsest step towards complete Free Trade ever taken in this country , was to bring about such a state of " Prosperity , " as to place all classes of the community in a comparatively happy position . One proof of that altered and happy pp&ition , was to be found in an increased Revenue . Where \ s that proof ? Where is the increase ? Where is the bettered condition ? The Tariff has pulled down , the prices of all descriptions of produce . It has had that effect , most

      certainly . Farming produce is ' * cheap . " Wheat is " low ; " almost as low as the mogt rigid Corn Law Repealer could desire . Milk is low ; butter is low ; and cheese is low . A neighbour of ours , in the Wholesale Provision Line , declares that for £ 50 this year he bought mare cheese than he paid £ 70 for laet year ! Woollen cloths are depreciated in price ; and Wages of all sorts are depreciated also !! " Free Trade , " then , has had its effect . It has "cheapened " all things : all things exchpt taxes , and tax eaters . Taxes it has not lessened ! Is ' or has it lessened the

      salaries of the Officers of State , or the dividends of the " National Creditor , " or the pensions pf the " Pretty Ladies , " or the allowances of the Dead Weight people ! Free-Trade has " cheapened" provisions : but to whom ? To the labourer ? No . His wages are reduced ! and reduced , too , more than the amount ot the difference between the " dear" and the " cheap" price of food . To the Tradesmen , or the professional ? He has his Income-tax to pay ! and if the Tariff saves him that amount , it does all that Peel promised him . Besides , a reduction of prices involves a reduction of profits . Generally speaking ,

      a certain per centage is the rate of profit in all cases-Reduce the gross amount , and there is a less gross amount of profit . To make-up an income from profits , under such circumstances , requires an increased amount of business . Does the Revenue show an increased amount of business ! If so , why ia there a falling off 1 Why is there a deficiency \ To whom , then , is provisions " cheapened . " To the tax-eater ! To all who have fixed incomes ! To all whose money -means have not been decreased ! These have benefited , and benefitted largely too , by the Free-trade-produoed lowness of prices of produce .

      And , in the nature of things , this muBt be so . Every reduction of prices of produce must entail additional suffering and additional burdens , upon all who live by labour and by profits : while every such reduction must add to the means of the pensioner , the place-man , the salaried officer , and every one whose amount of income ia fixed . Would not a Repeal of the Corn Lawa , to do again what Peel ' s Bill of 18 * 26 did in the great , and what Peel ' s Tariff of 1842 did in the less , be a blessing ? Who feels inclined , after the woeful experience we have had , to try it 1

      Dear Sir , —We have been informed by some of the leading Whigs of Nottingham , tbat yon was so mean as to accept of £ 28 . for lecturing , and otherwisa assisting at Mr . J . Sturge ' s contest with Mr , J . Walter , senior , and likewise tbat you went to Mr . John Rogers , one of the rich Whig leaders , ( at the late contest between Mr , GHsborne and Mr . John Walter , junior , ) and demanded of tbat gentleman £ 19 . for your services , and Mr . Rogers told you he bad no funds for such purposes , And farther , we have been informed tbat at Mr . Sturge ' s contest you applied for , and received £ 5 . for a gentleman who was very active in that election , and only paid over to him £ 3 , and pocketted the other £ 2 . Dear Sir , these reports , with a variety of others of a similar

      character , are very induBtrioUBly circulated ; therefore we think it our duty to inform you of tbe reports tbat you may have an opportunity of setting yourself right , as we have too much confidence in you to believe anything to your injury . We therefore leave it to yourself , assured that you can put a Btopper upon these reports , as for ourselves we are prepared to vindicate your character by publishing your answer in any of our town papers , or in any other way you think best . You can pubiiah this communication in tbe Star' if you please , and we can give you names if you desire it . We are , Dear Sir , Yours with all sincerity , John Baglet , James Woodhouse , Thomas Wright .

      P . S . —The Whigs do ' nt like purity of election , neither do they like to have a Six-point man forced upon them . No , Sir , they can ' t bear it , and that is the secret of all their lying and calumny . My Friends , —I have much pleasure in publishing your letter just as it is . I never got one farthing from Sturge or any other man for any service . I never heard of Rodgers till your letter announced that there was such a person . I would be more likely to give him alms than ask him for charity . Do not mind what those ruffians say . Why does

      not Sturge's Secretary publish his account of the expenses , as I asked him ? Sturge owes me anew hat , and the price of a warm plaster . Tell them , that Cobden , Villiers , Thompson , and the Leaguers travel , eat , and drink at the expense of the poor slaves whom they force to subscribe : that I travel , eat , and drink at my own expense , and not at yours or theirs . Your faithful , unpaid friend , Feabgus O'Connor . Leeds , Wednesday .

      The Books of the late Executive . — We have received from some person , who calls himself Arthur O'Neill , the following notice , with a re ' quest for Us insertion : —

      " TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN . " I beg to inform all who are interested In the matter , and who are not aware of the fact , tbat Mr . John Campbell , ere his departure for America , placed in rny possession the books of the National Charter Association , together with a large number of Cards of Membership , the which I was to retain until the sum of £ 16 15 s . 9 £ < i . due to him by tbe Association , as salary for services performed , be duly paid and satisfied ; " These instructions I am determined to abide by , without reference to the opinions of any ; and am prepared to enter into any arrangement consistent with them , as well as to produce Mr . Campbell's authority for representing bis interests ia this affair .

      " . ABTHtJR ONEILL . " 180 , High Holbom , 5 London , " May 9 , 1843 . " We have another letter on the same subject from Mr . Thomas Copeland , Waterloo Town , who says that , on the Saturday after " honest" John ' s departure , he went to the shop 180 , High Holborn , and there found Mr . O'Brien , who informed him that the Association books had been placed in his hands , with similar instructions to those spoken

      of by this Arthur ONeill . To which of the two therefore , or whether to either of them , the honour of being Mr- Campbell ' s accomplice Jairly appertains , we do not pretend to say . James Smith , Somkb ' s Town . — We cannot furnish the information he requests . James Branton , Manchester . — We have many communications on the subject , and shall give a succinct view » f them all—Mr . Branton ' s among the rest .

      John Smart , Aberdeen , must take a like answer . Glasgow and Gbeenock . — We regret much that private and local differences should exist among Chartists—still more that they should be made public . Each party has now had its " say" on the Emmet-trial matter , and we must have no more of it . Mr . Hill being last week absent in London , the communication from Greenock was very properly omitted till he should have seen it . William Silvester . —Our space is full . Thomas Coop . — We cannot insert his letter . It is a most foul—because unexplained and mysteriousattack upon an individual who would have a right to demand its meaning , and so lead us into a private squabble .

      I » EEDS . —Ilkxey Bath Chabitt . —The a nnual meeting of the friends and supporters of this charity was held at tbe Court-house , on Tuesday last , at noon . Mr . John Heaton , of this place , was called to the chair . The accounts were audited and passed the balance in the hands of the treasurer bein ^ stated to be about £ 60 . A resolution , lamenting the death of the late honorary secretary , Mr . Geo . Fenton was adopted , and the Rev . John Snowden , of Ilkley , was requested to accept of the Tactnt office , a request with wbAoh he complied . There were only very few of the subscribers present .

      Committal . —On Tuesday last , a young woman who gave her name Jane Smith , and said she came from Wakefield , was committed for trial at the next borough sessions , on a chaige of having stolen several volumes of books , including Doddridge ' g Family Expositor , Ainsworth ' s Latin Dictioiiuy , &c , from the premises of Dr . Chadwick , in Puk * row . It could not be found out how the property had been stolen ; it was not missed until after it had been found in possession of the prisoner , who said it had been given to her to sell . Assault and Alleged Robbert . —On Saturday last , two men named Christopher Petler and Robl .

      Davins , were charged at the Court-House , with having committed an aggravated assault on a waterman who , with a companion , had come ashore for a spree . The two sailors had accompanied two giiis to a house of ill-fame , and then , according to the statement of one of them , they drank gin till they were " made up , " and about three o ' clock in the morning , after one of the girls had obtained possession of three sovereigns , the two prisoners came into the house , of which Davins said he was the master , and violently assaulted the two sailors in taming them into the street . Davins was fined £ 5 or two months imprisonment ; Petler waa discharged .

      Caution to Surveyors . —On Friday , Mr , James Greenwell , surveyor of the highways of Potternewton , appeared before Messrs . Goodman and Pawson , at the Court-House , Leeds , in answer to a summons charging him with leaving a drain open and unprotected , and thereby causing damage to a hackney coach . It appeared that on Tuesday night , about half-past nine o ' clock , Mr . Lofthouse , solicitor , was proceeding home to Chapel Allerton , from Loedf , and owing to a drain being open in Chapel Allertoalane , near Mr . Buckton ' s house , the hackney coach was overthrown , and Mr . Lofthouse and the driver bad a very narrow escape from being seriously injured . The drain in question , which was under the care of the defendant , was undergoing some alteration , and was left unprotected and anwatched ; and the bench fined the defendant £ 3 , and ordered him to pay 25 s . for the damage done to the coach .

      An Impostor . —On Tuesday last , a good looking young woman , who called herself Mary Ann Robinson , alias Simpson , alias Sandiford , was brought up at the Coart House , on a charge of having obtained money and a variety of articles of wearing apparel , from several persons residing at Arwky and in different parts of the country , under the following circumstances . On Tuesday week , she went te the nouse of Mr . Wm . Akeroyd , clothier , Armley Moor Side , and inquired for some person supposed to live in the neighbourhood , and after some conversation , she asked leave to stay all night , which was granted . On the following morning , she obtained permission of Mrs . Akeroyd to lei her daughter , a girl between ten and eleven years old , accompany her to Morley , where she sa id she was going to the house of her aunt , to get wme

      clothes , and she would return in the evening . Bat inptead of fulfilling her promise , neither sbe uor the child was heard of till Friday morning , when the child was reEtored to her parents , having been found deserted near Dswsbury . It seems that after she had gone from Armley , 00 Wednesday , she ascertained from the girl that Bhe had a grandmother and other relatives residing at Dewsbury , and to them she quickly found her w&Ji along with the girl , and , under some false representations , she' was not only allowed to remain tiJl Friday morning , but she obtained some six or seven shillings in money and some wearing apparel , one left Dewsbury with the girl she had taken witn her , saying that they were both going back to Armley Moor Side ; but soon after she got oat ol the towh , she contrived to leave the g irl . She cal ea herself Sarah Ann SimDson . and she represented

      herself as the sister , and as the cousin of Mr . Jeremiah Simpson , Armley , draper , by which she succeeded in obtaining both goods and money , we need Bcarcely add , that she is no relation to Air . Simpson , but that she is in fact a base impostor , a description of her person and dress was forwaraea by the orders of Mr . John Gott , of Leeds , who tooK a lively interest in the matter , to the various towns in the immediate district , and on Monday morning she was apprehended by the constable of Batley . i appeared that she had on a shawl and bonfles wnicfl she had falsely obtained at Dewsbary . ane was eent for three months to the House of Correction .
