Whatever the return of Quarter nay may be to in-, dividuali, it is a welcome one to the public, in shewing the rapidly augmenting resources and growing prospe thy 'of this great country. Thanks to the firmness of his M•AJEsrv's Ministers, they have preserved peace and the honcur of the nation by their conduct, when it was attempted to involve us in mar the con sequence is, that in - stead of loans and taxes, increased debts and expensive armaments, we are now en joying the fruits of their policy, in the reduction of taxation and the increase of the Revenue. There is net, we are assured; an Englishman worthy of the name who will not rejoice at the cheering Fos . pect which this country presents at the present moment peace with all the world (for the affair of Algiers is nothing)—aibitrating the disputes of foreign States, as in the case of Russia and Turkey—keeping in check . every attempt to reduce to subjection new States,uhich have irrevocably separated from the mother country — opening new and extensive channels for our commerce and manufactures, forming a closer connexion • with our sons and brethren in the United States, an alliance as natural as it is politic, and exalting the character of the country on every occasion, and in every clime.— At home, we find the busy walk" of the merchant daily more thronged, and the hands of the artificer and mechanic continually employed, and happiness and prosperity pervading the whole land. Nor are these the results of an artificial policy, b u t are produced by a liberal and enlightened system of government, inspiring universal. confidence, is enabled steadily to prosecute those measures which are best calculated to • promote the interests of the - people. In the STAR of yesterday we stated that the account of the Quarter's Revenue was highly gratifying, and the official Returns, which we now present,-fully bear us out in the assertion. We have little room for observation, nor is it neces sary, but in reference to the official accounts, it will be seen that the increase is in those branches of the Reve nue which are the best tests of ,the prosperity of our commerce. Thus, in the Quarter ended yesterdat,,as compared with the corresponding Quarter of last year, there is a surplus of £78,148 in the Customs, in that of Stamps a surplus of £91,942, and in the Post Office an increase of £26,000, a sure evidence of the activity of our commerce. in the Excise and the other Taxes there is necessarily a decrease,but not in proportion to the reduc tion in these branches of Revenue during the last year. The total net increase on the Quarter is f. 1,328,403. Of course, the repayment of a portion of the Austrian Loan is taken into the account. The total net produce of the Revenue, for the Year ending the sth of April, 1823, is £49,824,057; and that of the Year ending the sth of Apr il, 1824, is £50,812,672. If we eaanrine theprodude of the Excise for the year, a statement of the returns of which we shall give to morrow; we shall find the following increase in the re• spective articles last Quarter, as compared with the cor responding Quarter of last year:—Auction Duties, £11,8321 in Bricks and Tiles, £9,110 Candles, £6,500; Glass, £10,060; Paper, £9,631 ; Tea, £28,730; To bacco and Snuff, £152,188. The principal decrease is Salt, Printed Goods, Spirits, and such articles on which there has been a reduction of the duties. The following are the Official Returns of the Revenue, of which a very erroneous statement appeared in a Morning Piper, where a blunder of £700,000 in the Customs alone was made. The increase in the year which, as see have stated, is J:688,615, is in the Morn ing Paper made to amount to two millions. So Much for anticipation.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—Last evening, about seven eciesbk, as Mr. and Mrs. Mandaley. of Wheeler -street, Spitalfields, wore returning home along Chiswell4treet, arm in arm, in crossing the end of Bunhill-row, Mrs. M. was knocked down by the fore horse of an empty hay cart, and was trod upon by the animal on her breast, and before any assistance could be rendered her, the unfortunate woman was kicked by another of the animals under the wheel, and her head was crushed to atoms in the presence of her distracted husband. It is useless to add she was killed on the spot, and what is most to be lamented, she was far advanced in preg nancy. The carter, William Pearson , underwent an examination' at Worship-street Office last night, and was remanded, to abide the result of the Coroner's Inquest. CAPTAIN ROCK IN Cong.—Wednesday night a notice of an inflammatory tendency was posted on the door of the Rev. T. E Saunders, in Blackpool, cautioning all persons from taking a store which was occupied by a man named Barry, who was ejected out of the premises only on the previous day for non-payment of. 'rent. This notice was signed Moonlight, Secretary; and death and destruction were very liberally dealt out in it, even to any person who should presume to take It down. This last threat, we blush to say, had its full effect with several respectable prisons, who suffrrcd the precious document to remain until removed by one of Mr. Saunders's men.—Coni Constitution. Several caricatures founded on the late publications respecting a distinguished Regiment have. lieea published .lately in Dublin. One of them represents a Parson calling on Am old woman for Tithes: She shakes a throat out of a band-box, and says- 0 There is a tenth for you." The Reverend Gentleman de. clines the offer, adding, " I don't tithe monkeys." We have to congratulate that part of the Public (by no means a 'small one) which takes an interest in everything that concerns the advancement of the Fine Arts, upon the formation of a new Society calculated to promote that desirable object. 'The Society to which we allude is called the " Society of British Artists," and the reasons which have led to its establishment are stated in a printed ad vertisement which has been extensively circulated, and to which the names of several eminent artists (well known to the Public) are eubscribed, to be the great increase in the number of artists siuce the foundation of the Royal Academy, which renders the rooms of that institution inadequate, as a place of exhibition, for the numerous works which arc annually sent there for that purpose; and also that the British Institution closes its exhibition of modern art 'early in April. The advertisement proceeds to state, that the new Satiety will open its exhibition is April, and close it at the end of July.— We rejoice at the establishment of a Society which will afford to British artists, generally, that which they have not hitherto enjoyed "--" a clear stage and no favour." The encouragement which the Society has met with, haveriabled them.to erect a large building in Suffolk-street, Pall-mall East, which contains, perhaps, the most elegant suite of rooms in the metropolis, devoted to the purposes of exhibition. The principal gallery for the exhibition of paintings in oil Ls, sixty feet in length by forty in breadth, and of proportionable height. In addition to this; there are five other smaller galleries appropriated to the reception of paintings_ in water-colours, draW ings, engravings, sculpture, and architectural drawings and models. The works in each of these branches of art will be eassed sepa rately. This is a very proper arrangement, for it is obvious that drawings or miniatures would not be viewed to much advantage when placed in contrast with oil paintings. The walls of all the rooms are covered with dark crimson paper, similar to that erh ployed in the British Institution in I'all-malL The light is ad mitted from the tops of the galleries, but not by sky-lights. We stall merely add, that we unuerstand the funds of the Society are Men ample, and that no doubts are entertained as to its success. We are requested by Mr. Borate to state, in reference to the ease of Bourke et-Edmonds, reported in the STAR of Thursday last, that the defeuthot was not bound over to keep the peace at his re ww, but at the instance of the Court itself; and that he (Mr. Wyse') waived pressing tot judgment on the defendant, on the condition of his snaking an apology in Court,Which he did,•throisghl his Counsel, Mr. &Lir. • • A collector of rags in Paris. passing the Exchange there, and hearing a groupe of capitalists lamenting. the reduction of the five per cents, cried. out with great satisfaction, " How happy I am not to have 23,0001. a-year in the lunch 1' f.

The Cotes: was occupied the whole of this morning in hearing this cause, which a rose out o f the late act i on in the C ourt o f Ki ng Bench, in which 1 verdict was given against Mr. Parkins in favour of Byrne. The charge was, that !lir. Scott, a witness on the for mer trial, on the 17th January, when Mr. Parkins was leaving the Courtput his bands twice in his face, and called him opprobrious names. To support the charge, the clerk of the plaintiff, and ano tfictiritness, were called by Mr. ALLer. For the defence, Mr. C:Pitti.r.tra called a Mr. BAamy, who so/we directly contrary;- and the CHAIRM A N having summed up, the Jury found for the plaintiff.—in the course of the hearing, the Cuutt was frequently in loud laughter. This day at three o'clock the time for receiving assents to the reduction of the four per cents. will expire. The amount for which assent has been declared. up to the dose of the office yesterday, is above 59,000 0001. In several cases where death has taken place among execu tors, and other impediments have occui red, a further extew.ion to the 29th inst. h;i been announced.— Perhaps smile indulgence may likewise be' granted on the score of inadvertency, is the nature of the Act has been far from generally understood. It having Veil eat ly ascertained yesterday, from the number of eiswnts already tendered, that thezeiidue would not be so great in amount as to create any difficulty on the part of Go-, vernment in paying off the whple, a notice was affixed on the Exchange, signed by Lead Ltvanroor. and the CHANCELLOR of she &CHEQUER, announcing that the whole will be paid off on the sth af October. • Letters from Missolonahi state that the advanced guard of the Greek want for the attack of Lepanto-bad marched, and haJ been imaiediately followed by the division of Lord Byron, with that Nobleman at their head. 'The plans of Mr. Parry, the engineer, tot car rying Lepanto by storm, had been tried, and a breach 'ade on one of the castles, which was carried by 3S* sault, and little doubt was entertained of their com plete success. The artillery corps of Colonel Stanhope will take the lead in this enterprise. An extraordinar y scarcity of Ra i ney has attended the liquidation of the account for time bargains in the Paris market, which takes place at the end of every month. , The continuation on stock for the end of April has varied from If. 75c. to 21. SOc. making at the rate of from '2O tO 25 per cent. per annum. This has been produced in a great measure by the very large speculations entered into foe a rise in the funds. By the Cherub, arrived at Liverpool, letters were re 'teived yesterday from Buenos Ay.res of the 10th Janu ary, and from Santiago de Chile of the 10th December. Accounts had been received at the latter place of the accession of Cantarac, the Saanish General, to the cause 'of independence-in Peru; and that he had united him self with the liners under Riva Aguero ; but as this ; intelligence aas deraved through Lima, from ahence there have been advises equally late which are silent on the subject, it is not entitled to implicit credit. A report had reached Buenos Apes that the contingent of troops sent by Chile in aid of the independent c 'use in -Peru, were on their return to Valparaiso. Of the move. ments of Bolivar, y subsequently to his arrangement with Riva Aguerta nothing is known. The A/ouiteur of Saturday contains several Royal Ofrdonnances, one of which alone is of -public interest. l Tn censequente of a Memorial presented by the Catholic Prelates in Scotland, stating that the &each foundations are too poor to bear their share of the expenseaof ad ; ministration of the estaailishments formed in Frante for [ tire education of young English, Irish, and Scotch Ca ~tholics, this Ordonnance separates the Scorch section from 'the two others, and directs that it shell be ad ministered gratuitously, and that the administrator shall be " a Priest of the Cqtholic Church of Scotland, aria l by birth a subject of his Blitarmic Majesty." There are some other regulations favourable to the institution, but they are calculated to excite no other interest than that of seeing one King legislate in some manner for the subjects of another. A pviVate letteffmm'Algic!s in those Papers, dated March 14th, states that thetown was still blockaded by an English squadron, and that the lley war making great preparations to resist a both bardment. Ile had ordered all men between 18 .and 50 to arm themselves, and declared that he was re solved to bury himself under the ruins of his Capital, rather than submit to the conditions offered him by the British Admiral. We have received Canada Papers to February 27. They announce that a Committee of the Provincial As sembly had iavestigated the subject of the large defal cation of the Receiver-General of Lower Canada, and had made a detailed Report upcin that • subject. The defalcation is ascertained to be 96,1171. Is. aid- ster ling, and this balance is the result of the receipts and disbursements of the Receiver-General, from a period nearly commencing with the existing Constitution. The Report of the Committee also contends, tliat in. as much as the Receiver-General .has 'been an Officer of the Crown, and has never accounted to the Legislature of the Province, they have a just and equitable claim upon the mother country for a reimbursement of the motley lost to the province by the Agent, aEpointed by Eng land to represent it. The Legislative Council, however, had pasted resolutions declaring the claim of the United States to the free navigation of the St. Lawrence to the, sea, from the territoi ies of the States bordering thereon, to be contrary to the established and recognized law of na tions, and praying the Ministers to advise the KING not to accede to it on any condition. These resolutions were sent to the Aasembly, where, after a' warm oppositio;, the discussion was postponed to a future day. It appears that the Canada Trade Act has excited some dissatisfaction, and a Resolution has been laid be fore the House of Assembly of Lower Canada, for an Address to the King and both Houses of Parliament, fur the repeal of certain parts of the Act, which are deemed contrary to the rights of the colony, and an in terference with its internal legislation. ' COLOMBIA.—In El Colombiano of the 11th February there is an account of the reception of-Mr. Aaratasoa,the Alinister Plenipotentiary of the United States to the Republic of Colombia. On his arrival he was received with military honours, and intro duced by the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to sevetal lit Officers, and afteiwards Conducted to the principal Mall of the Palace, where the Vice-President and the Secretaries of State wire expecting On being presented to them, be assured them of t he,eare ee t ( loam of the Presidentof the United States to cultivate their friendship, congratulated them on the acquisition of liberty, remarked on the advantages of taking the free consent id the people as the only foundation of 'political power, expreisetl, his hopes that the_improvenient and future greatness 'of Colombia wouta -be promoted by the continuance* . peace, whose pursuit! were sufficient to engage the whole attention of civilised man, however despots might maintain the contrary, both in their words and ictions; and in conclusion Observed, that althou,;ll the new principles' of Government bad not Dien hilly tried iii Colombia by, time and esperienee, ytt that enough had been"dune to justify •the most pteasiug anticipations, to animate the friends of peace,to new exertions, LOU to present to • the world a most brilliant example a virtue and courage."

We immediately got two anchors out to heave her off, and at 10 A. 31. succeeded, and brought her safely into this anchorage, by the sole asistatice of the Officers and crew of his Majesty's brig Plumper, under my cow mind.
