Blake, of the Bengal Horse Artillery, was in every way admirable : of 304 rockets which were projected during the day, five alone failed of reaching the spot for which they were destined, and uniformly told iii the work, or in the ranks of the enemy, with an effect that has clearly established their claim to be con sidered a most powerful and formidable weapon of war. The conduct of his Majesty's 13th and 38th Regi ments during the advance, and their gallantry in the storm, far exceed-all that I can write in their praise. I sincerey hope that I shalknot long be deprived of the services of their two brave Commanders.

Although the Quarter's Revenue will not be made up, until to-morrow evening, yet we are enabled to give a pretty accurate statement of one important branch of it—the Customs, which. as might be expected, have fallen off, though not to the extent that has been repre sented. That at a time when cAnmerce has been paralysed and shook to its very centre, at home and abroad, the Revenue arising horn it should in some degree have felt the shock. was to be expected ; and it would be as absurd to expect that the productions of nature would be unscathed by the flood or the hurri cane, as that the Revenue should be unimpaired, when the sources whence it is derived have suffered a serious diminution, however temporary. There is alser *epithet reason why the Rawl): for the Quarter ending to. morrow do not amount to so much as they otherwise would do. This is the lenity of his Majestyl Ministers ; who, out of consideration for the embarrassments which have affected commerce, have given time for the pay. meat of duties already due; many sums that would otherwise have come into the present account stand' over, and thus make the produce of the Revenue ap pear less than it actually is; and, after all, the diminu tion is only at the rate of tee per cent, as compared with the corresponding Quarter of last year, which was more than usually prodtictive. The Customs' Revenue for the half year, ending the sth July, 1825, was 6,212,0001. to which if we add 1,500,0001. duties transferred from the Excise, the full amount is 7,700,0001. The produce of the Customs for the Half Year ending to-morron will be about 6,99o,oool.leavinga deficiency in the halfyearo[7lo,oool. the proportion is pretty nearly the same on the Quarters. The Revenue of the Customs for the Quarter ending the sth of July, 1825, was 3,920,0001. that for the Quarter ending to morrow will be about 3,540,0001. thus leaving a deficiency on the Quarter of 580,00 W. Great as 'kis falling off may seem, it does not sur prise us; indeed we were prepared to expect a much larger deficiency, owing to the fearful stagnation of trade in all its branches. There is nothing to excite des pondency in the circumstance, fur. as trade recovers so will the Revenue, which has only suffer ed a tempo rary depression. This forenoon we received Frankfort and other Ger man Pipers to the 28th ult. but they contain little intelligence. The following extracts may prove in teresting to our commercial re 'der& : BERLIN, Jima Is. The steadiness in the price of the Public Securities, which has been observed for sortie weeks, appears merely to be a consequence of the uncertainty in which our exchange bas been sines the lest I crisis. The commercial as well as the political relations have become so complicated of late, that nobody has sufficient confidence in his own judgement to decide whether he shall speculate on the rise or fall of the Funds. Almost all speculations in jime bargains i have followed the example of the well known agent, who withdrew with a heavy load of debt from this dangerous trade. The few transactions that now occur are for ready money. It is long too since any attempt has been made on the part of the Government to produce a rise in the funds. The Prussian Bonds rose, indeed, from 81 to 84 on the news of the acceptance of the Russian Ultimatum by the Porte, but afterwards fell to 811, where they remain stationary. The English Loins have remained for months between 9$ and 96, and notwithstanding the high course of exchange, 7 dollars for a pound sterling donut advance. The Timber trade in Prussia has also become wry dull; for which reason the ducats, which are industriously employed in this trade, have gradually fallen from 21 t to the precious rate of IS per cent. Lou 6 ifora,un the other hand, being in increased dernaod for the lottery, have risen from to 15, but will hardly reach 15. at which they were when part of the salaries of public officers were paid in gold. But a very rentarkahle circumstance is, that the rate of discount, which during the Wool fair last year ruse to lY per cent. is at present no more than 4. Tins is a certain Foot that our woollen drapers, most of whom have their own manufactories, do nut venture to make! nrchases, however low the prices of wool.

AIYLRIV, SAICRIGAT This day was the market-day at A ;pleb'', and the general belief that it would be the last day of the ejec tion. and the annunciation mace by Mr. Brougham list night, that he would upon that day show up certain of tl e subscribers to the No Popery declaration, attracted to the town a very large portion of the country people. The yellows mustered in great numbers, eager to enjoy their anticip-t-d triumph, and to feast once more at the ezpence of the house of the Liwthers. The blues, though downcast, do not yet despair. In several nt the shops blue cards and ribands are exhibited, with the inscription, " We are not done yet: Brougham again and again," and the walls are scrawled over with the same words, in letters so large, that he who pins may read. I wande.ed up and down the market this morning, and entered, whenever I could conveniently oat tin an opportunity, into conversation with the m u ket pr ople ; and I found that many who wore yell tihands, lamented over the defeat which had br en give!) to Mr. Brougham. Indeed, one of them told me di, iinctly, that more voted for the L wthers than liked them, and that more liked Mr. Brougham than voted for him. The Blues are perpetually telling their opponents that they will indulge the Lowthers with another con test at tire first npportunity,and that they are deter mined to see whether the public subscription cannot hold out as long even as the well stocked purse of their Lrrd Lieutenant. They boast, too, that in the present vice , tion, for every guinea spent on their side, five aA lead have been spent for the Lowthers. The polling went on till one o'clock, when an arraoge rnent was made between the candidates that it shou:d close. The Under Sheriff accordingly made proclama tion that if no freeholder tendered his vote within hail an hour, he should proceed to terminate the electron At two o'clock he came upon the hustings and cleaned the poll to be as follows: Lord Lowther. Mr. Brougham. Col. Lowther. East Ward 11, 6 10 West Ward 4$ 4 47 Kendal Ward 310 35 ito Lon: dak Ward 6 0 6 175 1851 Day's Poll 172 25 Preceding Poll 1925 1353 Gras Poll 1678 2024 The majority of Lord Lowther is 719, and of Colonel Lowther 646 votes over Mr. Brougham. The annun ciation of the poll was received with loud cheering by the yellows both in the crowds and on the hustings, and with loud hisses by the blues, who declared that it w.is all gained by mushr.una votes. The UNDER SHERIFF then declared, and ordered the trier to announce, by proclamation, that the Lord Vv. Lowther and the Hun. H. Cecil Lowther were duly elected as Knights o: the Shire to serve for the county of Westmoreland in the ensuing Parliament—(la/iv:se cheering and waving of hats Fran the yellows) Lord Lowruxa, who had just arrived upon the host - - ing% then came forward. As he understood that the under-Sheriff had proclaimed him to be du•y el ctcd to represent the county of Westmoreland, he now cattle forward to thank the Freeholders for the lionoura!)le position in which they had placed him on the p' 11, and in which, he must confess, he did ant'cipale that they would place him. He hoped th4„ltis future Parlia memory conduct would be satistacWy.to them, and that when they should again meet each otfier on a similar occasion to the present, they might do it under the same kind feelings that now actuated them both—(Cheers.) The present contest had not been a contest of indivi. duals, but of principles, and Westmoreland had beta chosen as the arena in which to try them. lie was happy to find, and it was to the honour of the county, that the good old cause of Church and King, which w4s. still vigorous and strong, had been again successful in it--(Cheer:). As the election had now,been brought to a close, lie trusted that they would return to that spit it of good fellowship and neighbourhood which had pre vailed before the contest commenced, and which, he was afraid, had been disturbed by it—(Lc; :d circa: from both parties). Colonel LOWTHER said, he thanked them for rem-fl ing him by so I.irge a majority. He was sure before , hand of this triumph—he was confid nt in his strength. Much daring this contest had been said about mush zooms, and the Learned Member for Winchelsea had been so kind as to inform him that a fungus was a mushroom. It only corroborated his argument, for what he wanted to say was, that tie Lt•arned Gentle man's votes were of the same kind as those to which he objected. He could not, like the Hun. Gentleman, make the worse appear the better reason ; but it he dis liked the term funguses for his m-ck-votes, he had no objection to call them whimsy rigs.—(l.aughing)—.lle now was going away triumphant, and he should ready at all times to met t the enemy as often as th:y thought proper to renew the contest.—Vond cheers ) Mr BROUGHAM.—If he had originaly come forsv,od in this contest for the promotion of any purpo,e d 4 his own —if he had stand forward as a candidate from a desire to promote his personal consequence or ambition —if he had entertained a wish to change his present se for that of a County Member—if, in short, he had come forward for the promotion of wry object but that of obeying the voice of the independent freeholders or Westmoreland, and rescuing them and their county from the domination which bore it down, he shonld look upon the result of this contest with feelings of dis appointment, peradventure with feelings of mortifica tion. But he knew, and the freeholders knew, and his antagonists knew, and felt too, that his object was neither personal pride nor personal aggrand zement. He had been told, indeed, that it was presumption and fully in him to presume to place himself in that dis tinguished and gifted class of County Members, but his antagonists would not say so on those hurings. They knew well, and the Lord Lieutenant knew as well as his 'two sons, that he never considered the represcitatinit of Westmoreland an object of mere ambition. lie was in Parliament before, and occupied a seat in all respects as well suited, cielhaps,. to his views, as though he had been sent to the House of Commons by the unanimous voice of the county of Wesernotelan. l . This might be known, and, he believed, was known to his opponents, and he would now tell them what it was that had induced him to come forward. When first pa: in nomination for the county, he was ignotant of the intention of those who had done it. To these persons he expressed his unwillinress to embark in the enter prize, and his anxious desire to be permitted to pursue his career free from the troubles and cares of a tie v engagement. lie was told, in answer, that he had be. put iu nomination ; that the succeu of the cause, in great degree, depended upon him; that his humble nam • ,/isd called forth the spirit, even the enthusiasm of the , ,
