LAUSON V. HULAIN. The plaintiff and the defendant are both females. The plaintiff, who had been cook to the defendant, brought leer action to recover four guineas, the amount of a quarter's wages. Mr. James Hulme, a young gentleman of fashion ahle appearance, the defendant's eldest son, was ex amined for the plaintiff, and proved, that she had been biled by his mother at the rate of 161. a year, and had entered into her service on the 17th of July, and continued in it till the 24 of September, on which day Mrs. Hulme having called her Roan the head of the kitchen stairs, she made no answer, and Mrs. Hulme having again called, the servants in the kit chen asked the plaintiff, " Did she not hear her mis tress call?" The plaintiff replied, " Much I care for that." Mrs. Hulme insisted on her leaving her ser vice instantly, and her wages to the day being cal culated by the witness at 3/. 6s. 6V. that sum was offered her, which she refused to take, saying she had Agreed for sixteen guineas a year, and would consult with her friends. The plaintiff's case clo , ed here. There was no evidence for the defendant. The Learned Judge charged the Jury, that although the defendant hired the plaintiff at yearly wages, she still retained the power of discharging her at any moment for misconduct ; and the answer she had given when called by her mistress, was such miscon duct as would justify discharging her; but they were to examine whether the sum tendered in payment of by wages amounted to the sum actually due. The Jury teturned a verdict for the plaintiff 3/.128. which entitles the plaintiff to costs. ASKET V. SAYER AND ANOTHER. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, an ironmonger, at Hammersmith, against the defendants, who are surveyors of the roads in that district, to re cover the important sum of £2. and a fraction, for sharpening the pick-axes of several labourers on the Hammersmith-roads, and supplying two shovels. The general defence was, that the articles were not supplied to men employed by the defendants, but to two others. The Jury, after a long investigation, found a ver figfee the plaintiff for C 2. Is.

The Bank has advanced the dissentients' money to Government, who have judged it best to apply a portion of the Sinking Fund to pay them off in eight in stalments; after which the Sating Fund will resume its opera tions in full, and we are assured the purchases will be equal to Four Millions. YOILITGIN MAILICIT. About eleven o'clock the new Chitin Loan was brought on the market at the Royal Exchange. For 'a length of time past we never witnessed so great a confusion; numerous were the bidders, followed up by a crowd of at least 200 persons, dancing about from one part of the 'Change to the other, bellowing out as if a menagerie of Balls and Bears were let loose on the Pub lic. The premium it bears, up to this hour, is eight per Cent. and is eagerly sought after. A great deal has been done in new Spanish, which are lower this morning.—Chilian 88; New Spa nish 71k ; Old 85; New Prussian 901; Old 901 ; Russian 90; Danish 91; Neapolitan 82k; Columbian 95; Scrip 95k.

Death and Quarter-day are not more certain in their visitations., than boasting' and congratulationi on the part of Ministeri and their agents, on the flourishing 'state of our Revenue and Finances, a short time previous to the Returns being made pub lic ; and even, the first statements are generally so fallacious, or so mystified, as th give countenance to the assertion; that our Revenue is really improving. Subsequent details, however, often dissipate this drerim of hope, and spew that for relief we must rather look to the reduction of our expenditure than to the im provement of our R.:venue. If there could be any doubt of this, the Return of the last Quarter's Re venue, which we this day present, would remove it ; and before we proceed to notice the details, we may mention one very natural reason why the Revenue must improve, and that rapidly, if hot counteracted by other causes—that is, our increasing population ; with which the increase of Revenue has never kept pace. It will Le seen from the returns which we give in another column, that there has been a decrease in the last Quarte,'s Revenue of £805,598, as compare.) with the corresponding Quarter of last year. This decrease is attributed to the reduction of the Taxes on Leather, Malt, Salt, Tonnage Duties, and the Assessed 'fazes, but we much doubt that this reduc tion has operated to any considerable extent, as there must have been a considerable sum in arrears, which we doubt not the Tax Collectors have been very ac tive in getting in ; besides the reduction of the duty on Salt cannot be taken into account, for it does not take place until January next. The reduction of a tax upon any article of general use may be expected to produce increased consump tion; but this has certainly not been the case in the present instance, for the great decrease is in the Ex cise; and although the taxes upon malt and leather have been reduced, yet has there been no such in crease of consumption as should indicate that even those articles are brought to so purchaseable a state that the people can consume them freely, or use them as their necessities require : for even were the Revenue which was desired from them, in any Quarter when they were in full operation, substituted in the place of that which was reaped last Quarter, still would the general aggregate of Revenue for the Quarter fall much below the Revenue of the corresponding Quarter of 1821. In the Excise, the decrease in last Quarter, as com pared with that of last year, is £519,229, in the As sessed Taxes £140,304, andin the Land Tat £44,270 while the Stamps (owing, we believe, to some heavy; Legacy Duties lately received) present an increase of £39,283, the Customs £97,656, and the Ent Office £lB,OOO. This may be considered as gratifying, inas much as it shews that even the gross neglect of Mi nisters has not prevented our foreign commerce from improving in some degree, though it seems to have lost its usual power of vivifying internal trade. On the whole the Revenue of last Quarter affords no cause of congratulation as to the improved condition of the country, and we suspect that, when the reduc tion of the Taxes becomes more felt, as it will be in the ensuing Quarters, the deficiency will be still greater. The Duke of CLARENCE arrived from Bushy on Thursday, and paid a visit to the Duchess of KENT, at her residence at the King's Palace, at Kensington. Last night, her Royal Highness the Duchess of KENT and the Princess FEODORE, honoured the Hay market Theatre with their presence. Yesterday, the PORTUGUESE AMBASSADOR visited Mr. CANNING. Count de SANTA ROSA, the celebrated Piedmontese refugee, arrived in London yesterday morning. Yesterday, a Board of the Lords of the Treasury was held at the Treasury Chambers, at which the CHANCULOR of the EXCHEQUZIt was present. 4 . ,Z „ • 79 7, 1P er g " re • • . • V • PERVVIANIOAN. • • 10 • ROYAL EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. A Loan of One Million Two Hundred Thoustind Pounds sterling, has been contracted for the service of the State of Peru, with their Excellencies JOHN GA twin Dat. Rio, Founder of the Order of the Sun, and lately Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, and General PAROlssiEß,Founder of the Order of the Sun and Officer of the Legion of Merit of Chili, Envoys Extraordinary and Ministers Plenipotentiary from the Peruvian Government for that purpose. The amount of the Loan will be issued in Bonds payable to bearer, of One Hundred, Two Hundred, and Five Hundred Pounds sterling, each bearing in terest at the rate of six per cent. per annum. The interest will he paid half-yearly; on the 15th of April and 15th of October in each year, in Lon don, at the Banking•llouse of Messrs. EVERETT, WALKER, MALTBY, ELLIS, and Co. free of all ex pense. The first payment to take place the 15th of April next. The instalments are to be paid into the Banking house of Messrs. EVERETT, WALKER, MALTBY, ELLis, and Co. at the following periods: Twelve per cent. on the 17th instant. Ten per cent. on the 13th November. Twenty percent. on the January. Ten per cent. on the 14th February. Twenty per cent. on the 12th April. Eight per cent. on the 12th May. The Bonds, with Dividend Warrants attached, will be delivered on completing the last payment. The revenues arising from the Mint and from the Customs will be mortgaged to secure the payment of the interest and the redemption of the Loan. The Bonds will be paid off at par, in equal por tions each year. during thirty years, commencing in 1826, and ending in 1856. The present Debt of the State of Peru falls short of six millions and a half of dollars, being about the amount of this Loan. The extent of the resources of Peru is too well known to requite any relation of them. The annual net produce of the Mint, on an average of five years, is about 275,000 dollars, or £55,000 sterling. ROYAL EXCHANGE—ONE O'CLOCK. The principal business is doing in the New Peruvian Loan, which came out at 80, has been done at 90, and is now 88. It is said that by reason of the outrageous proceedings, the Gresham , Committee intend to close the gates until after one o'clock. Up wards of 500 persons are acting as Brokers upon the Royal Exchange, who are not even Freemen of the City. LAW CHANGES IN IRELAND.—It is reported that the LORD CHANCELLOR, who is now in England, will not return. Mr. SAURIN is mentioned as his suc cessor, and we have also beard Sir WM. Wiklmios spoken of. If the latter Gentleman gets the Seals, it is probable Serjeant LEROY will succeed to the Mas tership of the Rolls, and Mr. PENEFATHER to the Serjeantcy.—Dublin Journal. - - - - Lady MAtiozvILLE (late Miss SPARROW) adds £20,000. a year to the rent-roll of her noble husband. TAXATION BY STEAM !-A steam-engine is about to be erected at the Stamp Office, for the purpose of working off stamps with greater rapidity. A negociation is said to be on foot between some of the leading Members in Parliament in the Agricul tural Interest and his Majesty's Ministers, on the sub ject of the proposed commutation of the Assessed Taxes for a tax on realised property. It is said, that should Ministers decline the adoption of the proposed change, it will be brought forward by Sir T. LETH BRIDGE early in the Session. FISNCH PAPER& " TO U. LIECHTICSIBEROIR, ADVOCATE AT STRASBURG. An interesting circumstance is stated in the Irish papers to have occurred on Tuesday last, in Dublin, connected with the Sheriff's dinner. It appears that Sheriff THORPE, being indignant at some late inno vations on those good old practices by which the wholesome spit it of factious and religious animosity has so long flourished among the citizens of Dublin, resolved on quaffing one more bumper to the 4 , Glo rious Memory I" The worthy Sheriff, however, seemed somewhat eager to play the old soldier on this oc casion, by obtaining a sort of smuggled countenance from the Castle. He invited Mr. JOHNSTON, the Lord Lieutenant's Secretary, to his feast, letting him un derstand that the respect which was due to the KINO, and to his Representative in Ireland, would not be violated by that obnoxious toast. On the faith of such an understanding, Mr. JOHNSTON appears to have gone from Woodstock to the dinner: but a trap had been prepared for him : on arriving at the hotel, he was for the first time informed that the toast would be given. Had this Gentleman been disposed to act the spiritless part of which Lord TALBOT had set all public officers an example, he would have sat down to dinner ; and stood up again to cheer, or tolerate others in cheering, the 64 Glorious Memory I" But he did a wiser thing, and more calculated to attest the sincerity of the head of the Government, than a thousand formal speeches, however eloquent or able. Mr. JOHNSTON did not hesitate, but went away at once, and took care, it is said, to express pretty strongly his disgust at the trick which had been attempted.— One such burst of feeling in, a confidential servant of the Government, is worth a whole file of Proclama tions a.. d State Papers ; so directly will it act upon the conviction of the Catholic multitude. A most inhuman transaction occurred on the ISth ult. about four miles from Dundalk, on the borders of the County of Armagh. A poor woman, named Kirk, went from Balriggan, County of Louth, to Carueowna, where her brother-in-law resides, •on some business; she bad a borrowed cloak, which her brother-in-law attempted to take from her in lieu of eight-pence that she owed him; the woman resisted, and a scuffle ensued, when the wretch beat her about the head, !woke her nose with a stone, and otherwise abused her in the most inhuman manner ; not having obtained medical assistance, she died on Tuesday last. A Jury was assembled by Mr. P. PARKS, Co roner for the County of Louth, when Dr. GETTY ' of Dundalk, was examined, and gave his opinion that the abuse she had received had caused her death,. (Drogheda Journal.) _.~ ~. The French Papers of Wednesday have been re. ceived. They contain accounts from Vienna to the 29th ult. The Emperor of AUSTRIA was to set out for Verona on the Ist inst. The Emperor of Rossi*, who we are told received that wonder-working Prince, AL 'ZANDER of HOHENLOE, with particular attention, would leave Vienna on the 2d inst. The foreign Ministers were to set out on the 29th or 30th ult. Mr. BOWRINC4 an English merchant, and the ele. gent translator of the Russian Anthology, has been arrested at Calais, in consequence of an order trans , mitted by telegraph. M. LAPITT/4 Member of the Chamber of Dept. ties, has addressed to the Kitzvenw of the SEALS a complaint against M. Marton', Procurenr•General at Poitiers, with the view of proceeding against that Magistrate for his allegations on the Samar con spiracy. M.LAFITTE intends•to publish a Memorial on the subject; and his colleagues in the Chamber, who have been equally inculpated by M. MANCII4 are also determined to proceed against that Ma gistrate, and to publish Memorials in support of their complaint. It is stated that Colonels FABVIER and DENTZEL, who were arrested four days ago, and who are still detained at the office of the Prefect of Police, are suspected of having taken part in a plot for the escape of the four Rochelle conspirators from the prison of Bicetre. The two following letters were written by Colonel CARON an hour before his death : the first is addressed to his wile, the second to his Advocate: a To day, my well-beloved, thy friend quits thee never to see thee again, except in eternity. Oh! my well-beloved, how cruel to my heart is this separation ! Take good care of my poor Alfre take care of yourself for his sake : abandon not thyself to de spair; he has still need of thy tenderest concern. For myself. from this moment I can no longer be of any service to him. I carry with me to the grave thy two last letters: they shall be placed on my heart.—Adieu, my diar friend ; I embrace thee L with all my soul, and also my too unfortunate Alfred." " My dear defender and latest friend, I have received ' , oar farewell: receive mine aho, together with my last thanks. Con sole yourself : I know how to die. If ever you see my unfortu nate wife, assure her that the memory of her and Alfred never quitted me for an instant. I beg you to remove my effects, and to have them conveyed to my wife; endeavour also to procure the paymeng of the three months' pay due to me : it will serve to discharge some trifling debts. They prohibit you from seeing me again, but they cannot prohibit me from loving you : I em brace you for the last tune. " CARON." When Berton was brought upon the scaffold, he cried out 66 Five la Liberte." He obstinate;y rejected all consolation of religiun. Caffe, placed in his prison between a gen-d'arme and a soldier, aid with a priest before him, from whom he asked abso lution, struck himself with a deadly instrument. The Tribunal of Correctional Police has dismissed the complaint against the Aliroir, a critical jou:m.l, which was accused of having, through the medial' of theatrical criticism, made an. attack on the kirg and the established religion. The Quotidienne, after exulting in the alleged vic tories of the Royalists over MINA, adds that the troops of the Fiench army of observation were to be reia forced by six regiments, and would be ready to take the field by the 15th of the present month. This would be menacing intelligence to the peace of Eu rope, and to that of France in particular, if it were not well known that, notwithstanding the ardent de sire experienced by the French Ultras to wage war in support of superstition and despotism, they dare not, at present, move a single regiment across the Spanish frontiers. An account from Caen says :—•• On Friday, :he 6th of October, towards nine o'clock in the morning, a thunderbolt fell in one of the squares of this town. It penetrated an apartment where there were a num ber of females employed in making lace, one of whom it struck in the legs, and wounded severely without, however, doing her farther injury. It car ried away the shoe from the foot of the other leg without doing it the least harm." An article from Trieste, dated the 24th ult. brings the most gratifying intelligence respecting the Greeks ; their cause, so far from being lost, is now most pro mising, and with a little aid they would soon ke free. The following are extracts: 625,041 526,648 951,689 942,858 8,831 819,229 140,504 44,270 ;,1,003,603 198,505 X. 97,656 i 49,2831 18,000, 33,::66i 198,205, PARIS, OCTOBER 9. The King gave audience to the Duke of San Lo renzo, the new Ambassador from Spain, who took the occasion to present his credentials. It was re marked that his Excellency was dressed in the unir form of a Colonel of the Spanish Militia. At the same audience, M. Casa-Irugo, the late Ambassador, took leave of his Majesty. TRIESTE, SEPTEMBER 2c Letters from Tripolizza, dated the Sd instant, have arrived by a Greek ship, bearing the Russian flag, and which left Hydra on the 10th. It is evident from these letters that the Turks, since their last irruption into the Morea, have not advanced as far as Tripo lizza, and that all the accounts circulated of the cap ture of that city are false. The writers avow, how ever, that they lived there for some time in the most lively alarm, but that finally this, the fourth invasion of the Ottomans, has had as fatal a termination for the assailants as the three preceding ones. The Morea is again entirely free. Some Turks, the last remnant of their army, have thrown themselves into Corinth, and still defend it ; but their communication with Larissa, and with Chourschid Pacha, is cut off.— Odysseus occupies Thermopylae, and has already I~'. ~. ~.. - , !. i.
