The Royal Mail Steamship Acadia arrived at Bos- ton on Thursday morning, at half-past 6 o’clock, in twelve and a halt days from Liverpool, having left on the afternoon of the 19th ult. We obrerve no news of striking importance. The last news from India is confirmed. A debate occurred in the British Parliament on the 18th May, <in reference to the Canada Corn Laws. The opposition against the,Canada Corn Bill con- tinues in the agricultural districts. A requisition for a county meeting has been presented to the High Sheriff ef Berkshire. The meeting will take place inafewdays. The High Sheriff of Kent has de- clined to call a meeting for a similar purpose, on ac- ‘eount of the paucity of signatures to the address pre- sented to him. ‘Weare informed that the personal property left by the Duke of Sussex is considerable, hi_life having been interested to very. large amount", in several Offices. The interest of the bulk’of his property, it is said, has been settled on the Dutchess of Inver- ness; the principal to. revert, on the death of her Grace, to the son and daughter of his Royal High- ness by his former wife. Itis also whispered that handsome legacies have been bequeathed to the va- rious charitable institutions of which his Royal Highness was the munificent patron. The presents which have been sent to Queen Vic- toria from the Emperor of China, consist of golden bedsteads, and a great quantity of silk, of a sort which hasnever yet been seen in Europe. There were likewise two ear drops, worth a thousand pounds each; and a shawl, worked in needle work, with every kind of beast on it known to the Chi- nese; besides 14 large cases,and a small box of jew- ellery. Liverpool has been visited by another alarming fire.. It was discovered on the afternoon of the 4h instant, in the top story of one-eamong ten ware- *| houses belonging to the trustees of the late Duke of Bridgewater, between the Duke’s and the King’s Docks; and it soon spread to the three stories below that, and to the upper stories of the three adjoining. warehouses. By great judgment and activity, the further progrees of the fire was arrested; and at six o'clock the. flames were subdued to a smouldering fire, the conflagration having lasted two hours and ahalf. A ladder broke down under a fireman, and he.was carried, much bruised, to the hospital. The origin of the fire is unknown. The damage is esti- mated at £20,000. Mr. Rowland Hillhas sent « letter to the Morn- ing Chronicle, stating great inaccuracies in a return recently made to the House of Commous by the Post office, professing to give the gross and nett re- venue derived from inland letters and from foreign and colonial letters, forthe year 1842. The general results, Mr. Hill undertakeg to prove, are utterly fal- lacious. The firm of Ackermann andCo., printsellers and engravera in the Strand, and successere to the late celebrated Rudolph Ackerman, who have produced many beautiful works of art, has recently stopped Their habilities amount jo £35,000.— Heavy losses sustained in North America is assign- ed as the principal cause of their failure. Ia the Admiralty Court, on Friday, Dr. Lushing- ton awarded £1,000, besides the tender made by the owners of £1,000, to the salvors of the Ameri- can ship St. Petersburg, wrecked off Liverpool in the storm ef the 13th of January. The salvors are the Steam Tug Comyany. A London weekly paper, alluding to the recent death of the head of the Arkwright family, and the appropriation of his immense fortune, saye: “To each of his five sons he gives a millioa and a halt, besides £40,000 a year in land, which goes to the eldest som; and to each of hia fifty-one grandehil- dren and great grandchildren, £14,000, making £700,000 mere for this single item. We take it for granted that the daughters, ene of whom is the ladv of the Vice Chancellor, Sir James Wigram, are not left wholly unprovided for, Ina case heard before the Court of Bankruptcy, London, the other day, one bill-broker admitted that he charged 40 per cent in his transactions; another would not swear that he had not received 200 per cent. Theatricals continued at alowebb. A spasmodic effort was making to re-open the Covent Garden, butits success was somewhat doubtful. Fanny Els- sler’s tour through the provincial towns had been a triumphant one. Madame Veptris and Charles Ma thews had stistained the principal parts in a new mu- sical dramn at the Haymarket. The Court Journal states, that Prince Albert is to be Governor and Constable of Windsor Castle, vice the Duke of Sussex, deceased. A Correspondent of the .Moraing Chronicle, in Spain, says, with regard to.the prospects of the har- vest in that country:—"*The Spaniards entertain the singular fear of suffering from abundance. If the present favorable weather. continue, they say they will have a crop sufficient for the country for three years.” There is nothing singuiar in this fear,which is just as much felt at the present time in Bueking- hamshire and Lincolnshire as it isinCastile and An- dalusia. Fanny Elssler (the “divine,” as the Americans style her,) received £100 for dancing one night, last week, at the Bristol. The Bristol papers state that the health of Mr. Bra- nel, who swallowed a small coin a short time back, continues excellent... The medical men have sud- ceeded in extracting the halt sovereign. Within the lastfew days, further frauds, to a con- siderable amount, have beer discovered at the Cus- tom House. Several official persons have been sus pended from their functions in'consequence. Mrs. Begg, the only surviving meter of Burns, re- moved, wik her two daughters, to Bridge-house cottage. near Ayr, close to the scenery which forms the ground work of her brother’s writings. British Parliament, Hovsn’ or Commons—Monvay, May 8.—Tux UGE." Cuance.tor of the Excuequen, in & committee of waysand means, made the fiuancial statement. in. by.adverting to the extraor- dinpry state of the revenue of the: couatry on the accession of the present government to office. At the commeacement of tast lession of Parlia- ment, ministers had undertakena two-fold task— that of revising’ the ort duties, and of devising means for equalizing the income and expenditure of the country. The very revision of duties which they undertook necessarily added to the existing defalention; for, whatever might be the prospective advantage these reductions, their. immediate effect was a sacrifice of revenue. it 80 hay y algo, thatan additional disadvantage accompanied this reform. of our tariff, for ter and i t reasons called for the immediate operation of the reduction of daties, while the receipts of the pro. perty, devised to meet the deficiency, did not come tn'e play until a period of from ax to nine months atterwards. The amount. of income tax received, for the year ending in April, was only £2,456,000; but the regular annual net produce of the tax Mr. Goulburn expects to be £5,100,000,' or nearly: £1,400,000 more'than the estimate ot Sir Robert Peel, ‘The following is a comparison of She esti- EW YORK, SATURDAY MORNIN bose in its several items, with the , actual pro- nce :— Estimate.

But these sums, amounting together to £2,000 000, he would not include in the expenditure of the ensuing year, bat provide for them by a vote of credit on the 15,000,000 dollars to which. the Chinese government were bound by the treaty, as a compensation for the opium and the expenses of the war. Looking to the forthcoming year, he estimated the income at £50,150,000, and the expenditure at £49,387,000, which would leave a surplus of £760,- (00. His calculation of the produce of the customs for the ensuing year was less than the produce, of the past, for he only calculated on receivin, £19,090,000 whereas the produce of last year hat been £20,759,000. But as an extra sum of 1,294,000 had been received last year at the customs from the importation of foreign corn, he thought he ‘was justified in lowering his expectations (rom the cus- toms during next year to £19 000,000. He antici- pated a receipt o' £13,000,000 from the excise, which was £500,000 more thun it had produced last year. The other estimated items present no material difference: Looking-to the still existing deficiency in the revenue, and the importance of not adding to the debt, he considered that the best course to pursue would be to endeavor, by keeping the expenditure of the country within its means, to have an annual surplus, by which the deficiency might be gradually re léemed, and to this purpose he proposes to devote the anticipated surplus. of £760.000. The right honorable gentleman coneluded by expressing his confidence that the country was slowly recover ing from its commercial and trading difficulties, andad- duced what he considered to be the proofs of it. Jn reply to Viscount Howick, the CHancattor of the Exchequer added to his statement the important tact that no reduction of taxation was contetnplated. Mr. Lanoucuere asked if there was to be no al- teration in the sugar duties? The Chancellor of the Exchequer said he had no such intention. The House was addressed by Sir Robert Peel, Lord John Russell, and others; and after the usual routine of business, adjourned. ‘Tuespay, May 9.—Repgat or THe Union —Lord Joceuyn requested to know from sir Robert Peel the intentions of the government with respect to the maiatenance of the Irish Union, now threatened by extensive agitation. Sir R. Pgs, in a solemo and emphatic manner, declared himself authorized by her. Majesty to re- peat the language employed by. the ‘crown on thie subject, in a epeech which was delivered from: the throne during the administration of Earl Grey, and which ex; ed the most resolute determination to uphold the union. The laheaed governmen’, he said, would exercise for thie purpose all the power vested in them under the existing law; and though not desirous of disparaging the constitution by aj plying for new and extraordinary powers until those of the existing law should be found practically in- sufficient, they would net hesitate, should tha sufficiency become apparent, to ment for such enactments as would effectually o! viate the evil; for they were persuaded that the ob- ject attempted was not merely, as some called it, the repeal of a statute, but the dismemberment of the empire. The application to Parliament, should it come to be necessary, would be made, he was sure, with the greater success, in consequence of the forbearance of ministers to wake it until the necessity should have been. manifested by expe- rience of the inadequacy of the existing law. Tre Coan-Law Desats —Mr: Vituiers brought forward his annual motion for the repeal of the Cora laws, when One of the strangest scenes ever wit- neased in the House of Commons occurréd. After several members, had addressed the house, for and ‘ainst the motion, Lord Worsley called for an ex- jicit declaration of government intentions. Sir Ropert Peet responded to the call. He avow ed that he had heard nothing new on the subject, aad had nothing new to state. He praised the mo- tion for its directness and fair character, But the principle involved in it was wider than. its terms; it was nothing less than the proposition that all pro- tective duties, as well as the duties on corn, must be immediately abolished. If it received. assent, the whole arrangement of the tariff, excepting duties for revenue, must be. reversed ; then . the whole of the Colonial. system—all monopolies, all preferences of Colonial interests, all. sacrifices in return, must be abolished- ( Mir. Viiiigrs: ‘Hear, hear’) ‘With that admwsion,” said Sir Robert Peel. ‘I ask the house if it feels that it is in accord- ance with the national interests and security by the vote of one night to adept a principle like this?” He added, “If I were prepared to agree to such an ab. stract princip'e as that embodied in the resolution, I should shrink from its application.” _He proceeded to defend the continuance of the Corn-law, mainly on the score of peculiar burdens on land; and the late change, as having reduced prices. To Lord Worsley’s demand he anewered, that when Govern- ment last year proposed their Corn:law, they meant it to be asatisfactory adjustment; he did not say final and unalterable, for he would never say that ug to any such matter; but the Government had had no reservation or secret intentien then of any fur- ther change, nor was any such intention entertained by them now. He denied his belief that the de- pression of manutactures was owing to the Corn- laws, or the depression of agriculture to the recent change. And the proposed Canada bill, he said,was nothing new, buta part of the measate of last ses- sion—it had been soannounced, and Government had given an engagement to. the people of Ganada which it was their duty to fulfil. Mr. W. O. Sranuey moved the adjournment ot the debate; it being now more than half past tweive o'clock. ‘This was the signal for a disorderly con- test of some hours. ‘Sir Robert Peel resiated the motion, and was supported by Lord John Russell; but Mr. Hume, Mr. Milner Gibson, Mr. Thomas Duncombe, and others on the Opposition side, were obstinate—the motion tor adjournment was reject- ed, on two divisions, by large majorities; after which Sir Robert Peel, Lord John Russell, and other lead- ing Members, left the House: ‘Phe contest wascon- tinued, amid much noise and confusion, until four o’clock, when both the debate and the House were adjourned till Monday. ss aNaDA Corn Bitt. —Resolutions of Lord Stan- ley v be von 4 oy someiee ot the we nee on the act al 1c. importation of wheat and wheat flour from Canada) :— Resolved, That, on the 1th day of October, 1841, act was passed by the Levislative Council, ‘and Nestied by the Governor General tor the significat jesty’s pleasure, imposing a daty i Greut Britain on‘each imperial quarter of wheat imported into Cansda, except fr _m the United Kingdom, or any of her Majesty? possessions, and’being the growth and pro- duce thereot. ‘That the said act recites, that it was passed in the con: fideat belief and expectation that, updn the imposition of a duty upon foreign wheat imported into the province, her Majesty would, be graciously pleased to recommend to Parliament the removal or reduction of the duties on wheat it flour imported’ into the said United Kingdom Cat I. , in consideration of the di iy #0 im; the snid act of the atereof Coneda ic in eapedteat Oper vide that, if her shall be to give her sanc io wheat and tion to the said act, the duties imposed from Cane wheat flour imperted into tue United King da should be redaced. ‘That, during the comtimuance of the said duty, in lieu of the duties now payable upon wheat and whest four im ported into the United Kingdom from Canada, under an wet passed in the last session of Parliament, intitaled “An to amend the laws for the importation of Corn,” there shall be levied and paid the duties following, viz:— quarter of wheat I.

Exrenstve Seizure or Foreign Maneractirep Goops —A seizure has just been made by the officers of her Majesty’s Customs, of the large quantity of 400 bal-s foreign manufactured good: puported by the house of Baring Brothers, in the ship Niagara, from Boston, United States, now in the St, Katharine Docks. It appears the entry was passed ia the name’ of that firm, for warehousing the goods at the ware- houses of Taylor & Bell, at is quaya, and 875 bales were in course of transit in lighters belonging to that establishment. The discovery was made through the simple incident of one bale being land. ed. on the quay of the dock in error, when the offi cer on the station cauaed it to be opened, and found each piece to bear the brand ot “Stark Mille, Man- chester.” The 400 bales, each containing 20 pieces of 9) yards in length, now in the hands of the Customs. The house of Baring Brothers immedi ately memorialized the government to the effec that that mark was Stork Mills, New Hampshire, Nn & rrlease was ordered. Winpsor Castis.—A silly fellow, who appears to bean American, named John Redinan, was, on ‘Monday, brought before the magistrates, charged with having been found in the private ‘grotinds of the Home Park shortly after midnight on Sunday. He was first discovered hy the sentinel on duty at the grand entrance of the castle, and either was or affected to be so drunk as to have found his way into the park by aecident A letier was found upon- him, addressed to some friends in America, and begging a remittance of the necessary passage mo- ney to that conntry. His accouat of himself ap> peared( satisfactory, and he was discharged with an admonition to avoid palaces in future. Riors anv Ourraces ar MaNcuxsten—SeveRaL Men Snot —Mancuesren, May 16 —About eleven o'clock Jast uight, a most alarming and riotous out- Tage was committed by a large body of men, princi- pally brickmakers, armed with guns, pis'ola, blud- geons, pick-shufts. and other weapons, on the brick- oroft et Messrs. Pautding and Henfry, a short dis- tance from this tuwn, on the Eccles New Road. The mob made, a forcible entry on. the. premiers, and in the most savage manner commenced firing on the parties stationed there, with the evident in tention of murdering or maiming them, and destroy ing every thing within their reach. Owing to some disputes betwixt Mr. Pauling and his men, a tura- out of the brick-makers took place, two or three months ago; their place was, of course, supplied by fresh hands, and ever since a system of annoyance and intimidation, frequently accompanied by acta of violenec, has been pursued towards the new hands; but in no instance, either in the case of this or any other turn-out, so far as we are aware, have the parties resorted to such wholesale and deadly means of wreaking their vengeance as in the in- stance about to be recorded. Shortly after their entry on the ground, the mob eeparated into two divisions, one of which stood aloof, firing at the men, as above described, while the other division forced their way into Mr. Fletch- er’s house, breaking the door with # large pick-axe, whieh they had brought with them for the purpose. Having thus effécted an entrance, the house was in- stantly filled with armed ruffiang, all of them, having their guns or pistols. Their avowed intention was to. have murdered Mr. Fletcher; but they onl per- sons in the house were Mrs Fletcher, and a poor woman trom Ireland, who being foot-sore, and un- ableto walk any further, had been taken 1n, through charity, on Sunday evening. When the mob enter- ed, Mrs. Fletcher was seated ona chair near the bottom of the stairs, and a number of them rushed up to her, presenting their gunsand pistols as though to shoot her, which they would most likely have done, had not one, less inhuman than the rest, call- ed out, ‘*D—n you, don’t killa woman.” One _ruf- fian, however, struck her with the butt end of his gun, knocked her from her chair, dashed her head against the flags, kicked her, and dragged her by the hair from the house to the brick-croft.. She wasse- verely bruised and left in a very. weak state. One of the mob ran up stairs in search of Mr. Fletcher, and returned exclaimin; je ——— is not here; he’s given us the. slip.” ‘They then broke in- to the house adjoining, and attempted to.set it on fire, by burning some wooden seats; they also car- ried off a portion of the furniture While these outrages weré going on, the thirteen men were engagéd with the rest of the mob outside. The raffians made an attempt to surround them, but were prevenied doing so by the continual fire kept up by the men, who, notwhithstanding some adverse u ea most gallant defence. ‘The soldier who had been engaged as waichman, ‘was circumstances, mad knocked down and disabled, ‘and another man tambled into a gutter, and his gun getting wet, was of no further service. Notwithstanding this, and the ilisearity. of numbers, the mob were compelled to retreat. Before doing so, they commenced polling down the kilns, intending to destroy all the. bricks; but here the fire of the men proved too hot for them and they were compelled to relinquish their purpose, after pulling’ down two or three of thejfire-holes, they were also compelled to evacuate it; and, tney then effected their retreat, which was done at the com- mand of one who acted as their leader, by the lower end of the oran, and took the road towards Eccles. This was extremely fortunate, for Mr. Fletcher’s men had discharged their last shot, and must have been, in agreat measure, atthe mercy of the mob, had they remained. Probably the ruffians had also expeaded their ammunition, and hence théir precipitate retreat. The number of bricks destroyed by the trampling of the mob was about 94,000. The parties, it is thought, must ave fired upwards of 1000 shots, as the crott was in a pertect blaze for more. than ten minutes; and though the shots have done compara- tively little execution on those against whom they were directed, in anarneed of the croft, especially in the doors of the buildings and kilns, tnere 18 abundant evidence in the shot holes uf the plentiful- ness with which they have been scattered. Besides fire-arms, the mob were well provided with pick- shafts, the handles of pick-axes. The large pick-axe which they brought with them to bresk open the doors, they left on the ground; and, on 118 being ex- amined, it proved to be one that had been stolen ‘ from the ground in a former affray. Two pistol ram-rods, and some other articles, were also found after they had left the field. Several of the persons engaged in this outrage have been arrested. Isuanp oF Ascension—Txe Provision TRadE.— By a treasury order of the 23-h ult, the Island of Ascension is to be treated as a British possession, for all. purposes of trade and revenue Fire —The large woellen mill of Messrs. W. & . D Faraum in Waterford, Mass., was partially destroyed by fire on Tuesday evening. The loss is stated at from $10,000 to $20,000 Corn-Lapen “nies —A return of the number of ships luden with foreign corn, entered inwards st the ports of the United Kingdom, between Juuuary 5, 1842 avd 1843, shows the folowing resulis:—Ot British ships there were 2.346 entered, containing 1,661 224 quarters of wheat, 17.347 quartersof barley, 103,574 quarters of outs, 136,028 quarters of beans and peas, 528,545 ewt. of flour, 10,834 quarters of Indian corn, 3,730 quarters of rye, aud 5,466 cwt. of oatmeal.

Gane or Murpgrers —The Kilkenny papers give an account of the capture of « formidable banditti, who, within six months committed the most appal- \ing murders in that and the neighboring counties. It appears there is evidence to show that they mur- dered the late Mr. George Haly; of Johastown, and after that they set fire to the body, to destroy ull traces of the murder They also ‘murdered Mr. Moriimer, in Freshod, having hired themselves for asam of money for that purpos« ; they shot General oor farmer at Hoyne, at noon-day, in his own yard, and they clo-, aed ¢ Kearney’s steward, butchered, a ed their sanguinary career by attempting to assas- sinate Mr. Shee.
