THE Paris paper to Sunday last have been re- J. ceived- The Messager publishes a long report from the Duke d' A umale, Commandant of the province of Constamine, on the expedition in the Ziban, and on the commencement of the operations in the chain of the Aures mountains. It appears tha; the armv has over- run al! the oases known under the name of the Ziban, in the first plains of the deser', has driven off'the Caliph who »o\ erued the district in the name of Abu-el- Kader, and dispersed the troops sent against it. In a rather sharp action that took place at Mechoueche, the Duke de JV1 ontpensier, who was engaged with the army for the first time, was slightly wounded in th:; l;;ce. A paragraph i:1 the Journal da Havre s ates that a con- spiracy had been detected among the black population of Cubri, he object of which was (he des ruction of all the whi-'es in the colony. The French funds were sligh'ly affected on Saturday by a report, that an at- temp: had been made on the life of the Duchess of Orleans on the pre\ ious day, at the church of Chauchat. He was taken out of the chapel, and recognised as a German by birth, who in general resides in Hanover, and whose menta! faculties are deranged. The repeal of the stamp duties on newspapers has been carried in the Chamber of Deputies by a majority of six, the numbers being, for the motion brought forward by M. de Momlaville, 146; against it, 140 The proposal was strongly opposed by the Minister of Finance on behalf of the Cabinet, principally on the ground that the revenue could not spare so large a sum as that raised by the duty. The Sntional still publishes long lists of subscriptions to the swnd to be presented to Admiral L'up it "Ivit:: The list of Sunday includes a vast m r ,Ne- •; '• F.it-lies ol England." The sums are exceedingly small, rarely going above half a franc. The Madrid papers are to the 30th ult. A report prevailed in Madrid that, on the birth-dty of Christina (the 27th ins'ant) ail amnesty would be proclaimed. Humours are very prevalent of a serious misunder- standing between Narvaez and M. Gonzales Bravo; the former supports a return to an absolu'e Govern- ment, and the continuance of martial law; the latter is disposed to resort to the forms of the constitution. The part taken by the Queen-Mother will probably decide which of the two will gain the ascendancy. Koncali has announced his entry into Carthagena, in a dispatch to the Ministers of War. He states 'hat the chiefs of the lare insurrection has escaped from the city, and that he has secured only a few of the subordinates, whom he deems nnworhy of the bullets he had des'ined for the leaders. Letters from Madrid, which are to the 1st ins'ant, state that honours and rewards were being bestowed on the Members of the Cabinet, the dis- turbance having been for the present put down. M. Donozo Cortes, who was the person sent to Paris to invite Queen Christina to re'urn to Spain, has been made a Knight Grand Cross of the Order of Isabella the Catholic, and has been appointed private Secretary to Queen Isabella, with a salary of 50,000 reals. By the ship Hottinguer, Capt. Burslev, we have ac- counts from New York to the 23d ult.— Commercial matters appear favourable—in most departments there was considerable activity. The cotton marke' hassetiled down into regular business. The stock in New York was never known to be so large, amounting tll above 150,000 bags. Speculation had ceased, and shipments are made in the usual course. Holders were keeping cotton back till the arrival of the Caledonia.—We have nothing new from Canada by this arrival. By the arrival of the Royal Mail Company's steamer Dee at Southampton, we have the mails from the West Indies. The colonial files are from Trinidad, Demerara, and Antigua to the 6th, Barbadoes the 7th, St. Lucie the 8th, and Jamaica, St. Vincent's, and Dominica, the 10th ultimo. Lord Elgin had prorogued the Jamaica Assembly until the 2d inst with a speech that briefly adverts to the state of the colony in very favourable terms. The only qualifica ion is the partial injury done by the drought, but which will be much more severely felt by individuals, that any effect it will have on the aggregate production of sugar in the colony. His Ex- cellency particularly adverts to the beneficial effects likely to arise from the extension of the Royal patron- age to 'he agricultural association, by the extended stimulus it is calculated to give to local exertion. In- deed, so completely are the minds of the heading planters now concentrated upon the various modes of improving the cultivation and manufacture of sugar, that the immigration question seems 'o have become altogether secondary, at least for the time being The report respecting the coffee crop in Jamaica is exceed- ingly favourable, the drought ha\ ing been much less felt on tha' staple than on the cane plan'a'ions. The accounts from the smaller colonies are generally pro- pitious.

THE HIGH PRICES OF THF. FI NDS.— It appears that for the first time for nearly a century, 'he Three per Cent. Consols are at par, or 100/. money for 100/. stock. The last time they were at 1uol. was in 1749, the year after the peace of Aix-la-Chapelle at which period the amount of the public debt was rather more than 78,000,00ül. The highest price the Three per Cents. ever rose to was in June, 1737. and again in May, 1739, when they attained the high price of I oil. Between the years 1729 and the year of the Rebellion, 1745. the Three per Cents, were never lower than b9, and for a considerable portion of that period they were above par. Again, in March, 1792, they rose to 97}, when the amount of the national debt was 2.39.350,000/. During the period between the peace of Paris, in 1763 (when the amount of the debt was 138,774,000/.), and the breaking out of the American war, they fluctuated between eighty and ninety per cent. Towards the close of the American war-namely, in February, 1782, they were as low as 51; At the termination of the American war the debt was 2-19,851,6281, In the years 1797 8, in consequence of the great success of the French armies on the Continent, and of the mutiny at the Nore, and of the rebellion iu Ireland, together with the failure of the attempt to negotiate with the French Republic, the price of s'ock became less than it had been before or since that time. In May, and again in June. "797, the Three per Cents. Reduced were as low as [. Iu the September of that year the Three per Cen: Consols fell to 47i. being the lowest price to which they have ever fallen. Dr. Hamilton, in his valuable work on the national debt, states that they were also at that price in January, 1798. The Three per Cent. Consols have not been under 68 since thf latter part of the year 1820, when 'hey were 67f. The highest price the Five per Cents, ever attained was 107j, in August, 1791; and the lowest price was 59^, in January, 1798. The highest price the Five per Cents, ever attained was in August, li91., when they were 122L and the lowest price was in August, 1798, when they were only 69i.

FALSE ECONOMY OF THE PRESENT INCOME TAX — The income produces 5,35(5,887; which shows, savs the Morning Chronicle, that the whole of the incomes of 150/. ami upwards, the limit of the tax, amount to something more than 200,000.0001, a-year. What a prodigious mass of wealth To say nothing, too, of evasions. It should always be remembered that tilt re are two points in the manner of impossiu™ this tax. one unjust, the other delusive. The income of 150/ is too liiiih a limit for total exemption, wasting a vast field of available resource for the tax, and, as everybody saw at the time of laying on, operating with a curious injustice; for while the man of ]49[, a-year pays lJolhmg; thp ,nll100f,1501 pays -1i, 7s, 6.1. tax. Represented in the tax itself, the difference between their incomes should be worth 1tf, hut the Chancellor of the Exchequer (rents them as if the difference in their incomes were worth 4/, 7s. 6d.; now, as 4/. 7s. 6d. represents an income of 150/ they are assessed as it that were the actual amouut of the difference between theii incomes, although in round nnmbeis both mav he cons dered as possessing that same income of I5.)t. the difference being only K. The other point is, the delusion of the title, for although officially called a propeity-tax, it is really a mere income-tax, property being exempt, and only exempt in some cases as the index of income. The man with an income of 1501. earned by labour, and the fundholder enjoying ill it income, aud posses-ins property besides of that je.nly value are taxed alike. The 5,35G,000<. therefore, is raised in a manner at once unjust and partial, the greater number of ii.comes, and the general mass of property beiii" exempt. In consideiing the merits of an income ami pro- perty tax, ir is well to bear in mind these points in the pre- sent torm of assessment, especially when we find the tax so productive that, objectionable and limited as it is in these lespects, every penny farthing ill the pound produces a miJ!¡"11 steiling of revenue.—Spectator. MAKKIAGK OF ONE OF THE OJIBBIWAY INDIANS —At foil e,¡rly hour this morning St. Mai tin's Clnuch and its iniiy presented a guy and animated appearance, it having hI" J) known that one of the Ojibbeway Indians, at present soj'Mirniii!: in this country, and who is known hv the extra- ouiinary appellation of the St'ong Wind, fllld who acts in the capacity of interpreter to the other Indians, w..s about to enterinto the boiuis of liolv matfimony wi h y on II II ami beautiful English lady. About hal'-past pine o'clock i coach drawn by four grey hoises containing the Indi-ms. their wives and childien, attired in their native costume, tollowed by two cairiages—the first containing the l ii'tp, hride_'ioom, and bridesmaids, and the second the father and hieudsof the bride—drewup.it the Church, and tl»e whole ot ihe party entered the sacred edifice, which was crowded by fashionably-dres-eil persons, the majority beio^ ladies. After the solemn ceiemony was performed in an impassive manner by the officiating clergyman, the JLilly returned to their equipages, and drove off amidst the cheeis of the assembled multitude.

DEATH OF LORD ABINGER. t (From the Timrs). The Noble and Learned Lord, who for the last ten years h s filled the office of Chief Baron, breathed his last at Bury, early on Sundy morning. Lady Ahinger and seveial members of his Lordship's family were present when he expired. He never appeared to regain consciousness from the first moment that his fatal illness supervened. During the long period of ttdf a century Lord Ahinger had practised or administered the law. His active and dis- tinguished life was passed dining the leignsot four Sove- reigns. Whentie entered upon the exereiseofbisprofes- sion Lord Kenyon presided in the Court of King's Bench, Sir James E) re was Chief Baron, the fust Earl of Rosslyn at the head 0: the Common Pleas, and the first Earl of Eldon Attoruey-Genei al. To climb the heights which these great men had already attained formed the object of his youthful ambition. To contend with the formidable rivalry of their imitators and successors became the business of his li'e and no reader now inquires to he informed that he prose- cuted this great dt'sign wiili an amount of professional learn- ing, moral energy, and intellectual power, such asluvc been raiely equalh-d, and never surpassed. He was the descendant ot a family which settled in Jannica as long ago as the first establishment of the colony. In that island they lived long enough to acquire considerable wealth and distinction, and there Lord Ahinger was born, the second and last surviving sin of Bobeit Scarlett, by his marriage with Miss Elizabeth Anglin. As a natural lesult of the locality iu which he had been bom, it was necessary for Lord Ahinger Iv leave hi", home and travel to Europe, ill order to secure the benetit of such an educulion as his early powers seemed entitled to receive, alld for this purpose he was consigned to the care of a fiietil ill the nor h of Eng- land, at as early an age as he could venture to travel alone. He was placed for a shoit ti:ue at a public school, but was soon removed to Cambridge, where he entered as a fellow- commoner ot Ti inity College. In four years he took the degree of B.A., and shortly afterwards quitted the Univer- sity. Within one year after he was called to the bar—viz., on the 2'2d ot August, 1792, he married the third daughter of Mr. Campbell, of iiiluiorey, in Argyleshire, by whom lie had three sons and two daughters; of the latter the eldest is the lady of Lord Campbell, who enjoys a peerage iu her own righ as Baroness Stratheden. On quitting the University he came to London, and de- voted himself to his profession with great ardour, selecting as the chief object of his lahoii us studies the perusal of modern reports, which he esteemed the speedies; road to success as an advocate. By the Honourable Society of the Inner Temple he was called to the bar in the year 1791. Although he inherited more than a competent independence, he devoted himself to the most laborious of all piotessions with an earnest perseverance of which there are f«w ex- amples, and "ilh an industry rarely callc,1 into existence by any stimulus less than the piessure of actual necessity. The practice of the common law was that to which he gave a preference; and the Northern was the circuit to which he attached himself. Years rolled by; and, like others, he was compelled to go through the usual probation. In due cours- the leader of his circuit presented him with a bag; but not until he had business enough to render that species of accommodation quite needful. Not many yeais elapsed before that bag laboured under a plethora. At the time to Io\hich we refer, his personal appearance was, in a iemarkahle degree, calculated to win the favour of every beholder. Though boin in a tropical climate, his physical strength and animal spirits were indomitable, while his com- mand of temper also presented an exception to the ordinary rules which apply to West Indians. In the year 181G, Mr. Scarlett was called within the bar, invested with a silk gown, an,1 became, therefore, one of 1 that eminent body known as his Majesty's Counselleallled in the law." Fioni this time forward a large proportion of the leading business or' the Court of King's Bench fell into hi> hands. To enter the House of Commons became the next object of his ambition, and he forthwith offered him- self as a candidate for the borough of Lewes; but his op- ponent, Sir John Shelley, was elected by a majority of 19 The demise of George III., however, necessaii'y led to a general election, and he accepted the offer of the late Eail Fitzwilliam to come in forPeterborongh. Although his pio- fessional fame had nnt even then attained its highestpoint of eminence, he entered Parliament with the character of being one of the ablest counsel at nisi piius that had ever adorned the English bar. Yet there were many amongst his rivals and contemporaries who excelled him in the at- tribntes of an orator. He was no sentence maker; his style was so unadorned and unpretending, that his audience never suspected themselves to be in the presence of a great man he never abashed a jury or benumbed their faculties by any display of intellect ual superiority; but rather sought to comfoit them and mould them to his purpose by indocing them to conceive a very high opinion of their own wisdom and intelligence; he never made the least attempt to exer- cise imagination, and always gave pratical proof that he had no wish to excite the passions of a tiibunal by anything ap- proaching to declamatory appeals. The fiist subject to which he applied himself in the House of Commons was the financial policy of the Ministers who were in power when he first obtained a seal in that assembly. He urged the expediency of applying the sinking fund to make good the deficiency in the revenue; but, as might be expected, these early efforts of his in the way of Parlia- mentary opposition, produced little effect npon the general policy of the King's Government, and he therefore thought it expedient to lose no time in applying himself to subjects more congenial to the habits, and probably more agreeable to the natural construction of his mind accordingly, we find him giving cordial and efficient assistance to Sir Samuel Romilly and Sir James Mackintosh in their efforts to amend the criminal law. In the next stage of his career as a legis- latoi he introduced a proposition foralte ing the Poor-laws. That altempt proved abortive, and the practical carrying ont of the principles which he then put foith was reserved for a later period and another Parliament. In the year 1822, a vacancy occurring for the University of Cambridge, he became a candidate, but Mr. Bankes was returned by a majority of 138; and Mr. Scarlett continued to sit for Peterborough, still a supporter of the Whig interest, though so quiet, unobtrusive, and discreet, that he could scarcely be called a partisan. On the breaking up of the Liverpool Administration, in 1827, Mr. Canning invoked the assistance of the Whigs, and Mr. Scarlett became At. torney-General. This was his first approach towards those Conservative piinciples which he maintained for nearly twenty years. In the office of Attorney-General Mr. (now Sir James) Scarlett was succeeded by that able and very learned, but somewhat eccentric person, Sir Charles Wetherell. Then came theWettington Ministry, and with their accession to office came many changes, amongst which was the me sure of Roman Catholice relief. To this Sir Charles Wetherell opposed himself with extraordinary effect and characteristic vehemence, whereupon the Duke, iu his nsual way, intimated that the resignation of the worthy and Leal oed Knight would be verv acceptable; and withont loss of time Sir James Scarlett became once more hisTOajesty's Attorney-General, This was the period of the Brunswick Clubs; and the en- thusiasm which characterised those associations naturally extended itself to theii organs amongst the daily and weekly press. Several criminal informations were filed against a publication, teng since defunct, called the Morning Journal, against the Atlas, and other papers, for libels on the Duke of Wellington aud the Lord Chancellor. These prosecn tiollS, in which Sir James gained verdicts, formed the leading fea- tures of his orHcia) iife. He s ill continued to owe his seat in Parliament to Lord Fitzwiliiam, whether sitting for Malton or for Peterborough, an I yet he gave his unqualified support to those principles which, about that time, ceased to be de- signated by the term Tory," and assumed the denomina- tion of Conservative." As might be expected, he resigned the office of Attorney- General when Lord Grey became the heid of the Govern. ment, and zealously co-operated with Sir R. Peel and his supporters, in their opposition to the several Reform Bills which, during the yeais 1830 and 1831, were submitted to the consideration of Parliament. He had, however, for some time ceased to be the nominee of Lotd Fitzwilliam, having been returned for Cockermou h in 1831, and for Norwich in 1832. Lord Lyndhurst filled the office of Chief Baron in 1834. Towards the latter end ot that year, Sir Robert Peel was unexpectedly called upon to foim a Conservative Ministry. Lord Lyndhurst was, therefore, rfqui: ed to withdraw from the Exchequer, in oider that he shollld preside in Chancery; and the office of Chief Baron was conferred upon Sir James Scarlett, who, at the same lime, was called to the House of Peers bv the title of Baron Abinger. It has long been proverbial in Westminster Hall, that a distinguished advocate, when raised to the bench, does not always become an eminent judge; on the contrary, it has happened in more instances than one, that men who never had enjoyed much fame at the bar have, when placed on the judgment-seat, acquired, amongst the sages of the law, the highest and most enduring reputations. Tothisruie Loul Abinger formed no exception, for his fame as an ad- vocate has not been equalled by his character as It juolgp. As an advocate, he had been the wonder of the age in which he lived. Under every variety of circumstance, heexeited himself, body and soul, to present the facts of his client's case clearly and consistently and indisputably before a jury. Few men excelled him in the art of cross-examination but he outstripped all competition whenever lie found it neces- sary to restore, to comfort, and to set up one of his own wit- nesses, whose testimony might have been damaged by a severe cross-examination fiom the adverse counsel Lord Ahinger was for many years a bencher of ihe Inner Temple, and was for many years Attorney-General of the County Palatine of Lancaster; and his Lordship was also a Priv v Councillor. His first wife died in the year 1829, and after remaining a widower for fourteen years, he married, in 1843, the daughter of the late Lee SreereSieete, Esq., of Jayes, in Surrey. Lady Abinger had previously been married to the Kev. H. J. Ridley, of Ocklcv. Lord Abinger retained the fullnse of his remarkable and vigorous faculties down to the very day on which lie was attacked with the fatal disease that terminated his valuable existence. He was one of the judges of the Norfolk Circuit during the present assizes; and being at Bury St. Edmund's he presided in Court on the second of this month up to the late hour of seven o'clock in the evening, going through the business of the day with the same clearness, precision, and skit( "hieh distinguished him in the prime of life. Within two hours from the adjollrnmplIl of the conrt he was speech- less, and, within the short space of five day, he breathed his last, having reached the advanced age of 7G, and having acquired, as a leading counsel at nisi prius, higher rewards in fame and in wealth than have yet fallen to the lot of the most fortunate amongst his contemporaries.
