Of Flour there was a fair quantity. This morning there is a better sup ply of Wheat and Beans titan of late, but of Barley and Oats the quantities are smaller. The best prre, , ls of Wheat fully maintain the terms of this day sa'nnight, but all other kinds are dull in sale. Barley for malting is rather dearer, grinding parcels sell at last week's rates. Beans are rather cheaper, as also are Grey Pease, unless they life very dry. Fine heavy parcels of Oats have ra ther exceeded the prices of last Monday, and other quali ties meet a more lively demand titan of late. The top price of Flour is unaltered, and there is rather more life in the trade. PRICES ON BOARD OF SNIP. Wheat, Bed (old) White (old).. 55,. 795. 1 --Red (18 ' 29) ... 445. 435.

" Although the science of plitical economy is not perbr.: , s so well understood in F.-ance :Is it is in England, the value and accuracy of the st,tistical inforoution which is con stantly accumuhting, joined to tip spirit of enquiry which is now in such active operation, carmot fail to give a con siderable value to the calculations which arc made as to the general and individual revenue of the country and its inhabitants. Impressed with this idea, and as a sequel to the deisils contained in former communications, I shall make no apology for troubling you with the following esti mates, which, although they must appear to be extremely low for a country so flourishing and prosperous as France is supposed to be, are yet, I believe, from the (platter in which they originate, entitled to considerable attention. " According to established data, the nett revenue of all territorial property of every kind is ascertained to b 2 not more than "'l'o which add the revenue arising from buildings " Making the amount of the revenue arising from fixed property in France ... 1,531,50'::;,000f. " To estimate the returns arising from cultivation, it would be necessary to know he value of the gross produce, the value of which is taken at 3i- times the amount of the nett revenue. In the gross produce is included intermediate produce, such as horses, cattle, cloth, dairy pro- duce, &c., say " The profit, revenues, and incomes of persons engaged in commerce and ma nufactures, and in industry, in the mo't extended sense of the term, comprising all offices and professions, excepting those connected with Government, are taken at two-fifths of the value of the gross produce of the kingdom, or 1,746,511,0001. " Making the total revenue, Lefore de duction of general or local taxes " On the lit of January 1827, the population of France was 31,852,000, and as it increases at the rate of about 200,000 per annum, its amount on the Ist of January last may be stated at 32,252,000. " The total revenue, when divided among the whole population, gives 198 francs 33 centimes to each individual per annum, or 54 centimes and 6-10ths of a centime per day, being considerably less than 81. per annum, and sd. per day respectively ; and when from this miserable pit tance, with reference to the lower orders, there is to be deducted, not indeed the whole amount of the revenues of the affluent classes, since that includes the maintenance of their trains of dependents, who also enter into the average, but at least the amount of the comforts and luxuries they individually consume, a material diminution must neces sarily arise from that part of the general revenue which be longs to the great majority of the people at the bottolt of the social scale. From the extremes of misery up to an adequate supply of the necessaries of life, through all the shades of ease, coraort, and luxury, there will he found a much greater variety of distinctions than it is here proposed to consider. It will be observed also, that the greater part of the produce of the tiles is distributed among the easy and comfortable classes, many of whom give less to the state than they receive, while the poor give much more than they receive. To attempt to enumerate all the shades of riches and of misery, would require an endless number of classes, and would only serve to multiply errors. In the following table they are divided into twelve, the first six of which comprise only 2,252,000 individuals, while the oth r six contain 30,000,000. It is needless to enter into a detail of the cases on which the calculations are founded, but it may be sufficient in this place to say that they are not arbitrary. ARRIVALS.

His MAJESTY will hold a Court vt his Pa lace at Windsor this day. The Duke of CUMBERLAND took an airing on Saturday in an open carriage, for the first time since his recovery from his indisposition. The Duke end Duchess Of CLARENCE, the Duchess of GLOUCESTER, and Prince LEoroLn, have visited his Royal Highness, at his residence at Kew, during the week. The Duke and Duchess of' CLARENCE left their residence in Bushy-park on Saturday morning, and came to town. The Duchess remained during the day at the King's Palace, at Kensington, on a visit to the Duchess of KENT end the Princess SOPHIA. The Duke remained at his residence in the King's Palace, St. Janes's, till five o'clock, when his Naval Highness, in corni,any with his Duchess, returned to Bushy. Despatches were received by Prince ESTER IIAZ Von Saturday from the Austrian Government. His Excellency, after their arrival, proceeled to the office of the Secretary of State fur Foreign Affairs, and had a curt ferenee with the Earl of ABERDEEN. The Noble Earl afterward, had an interview with the Duke of WELLING TON at the Treasury. The French Ambassador had interviews, both with the Duke of WELLINGTON and the Earl of ABER. DERN, on Saturday afternoon. The Marquis DE PALMELLA visited the Earl of ABEICDF.EN on Saturday afternoon, at the Foreign-office. The LORD CHANCELLOR, the Bishop of LONDON, Sir GEORGE MURRAY, and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, had interviews with the Duke of WELLINGTON OH Saturday at the Treasury. Sir ROBERT FARQUHAR, Mr. DOUGLAS, and some others of the Directors of the Provincial Bank of Ireland, attended on Saturday at the Treasury, and had a conference with the COANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER• Baron D'ASSICA, the agent to Don MIGUEL in this country, hal an interview with the Earl of ABER DEEN on Saturday. The Emperor of AUSTRIA devotes one day in the week to the giving audience to and hearing the complaints of his poor subjects. Some years back the writer of this paragraph was at Vienna, when early in the morning he witnessed this scene, and saw the poor people admitted by turns into the presence of their SOVE.• DEIGN, in his private apartment in the Imperial Palace. His example is now followed by the King of the NETHER LANDS and the King of WURTEMBERG. A letter from Munich, quoted in a Ham burg Journal, announces that the King of BAVARIA said to a foreigner of distinction, " The public in France would be much astonished if it were known that it is myself who forms the opposition in my kingdom."—(This is really what Mr. TIEKNEY called hisalajcsty's opposition.) Lord TENTERDEN has, by the advice of his medical attendants, retired into the country, where, we trust, his health will be speedily restored. The Hon. WILLIAM and Lady BLANCHE CANlttintsu have left the Earl of CARLISLE'S seat, C tstle Howard, in this county, for Holkar Hall, Lancashire, on a visit to Lord GEORGE CAVENDISH. Sir ROGER and Lady GRESLEY passed through this town on Monday last, from Wynyat d, the seat of the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, for Drakilow.—Sheifield Courant. It is Mr. SCARLETT, the son of the AT TORNEY-GENERAL, and not Mr. R. GURNEY, as stated in some of the papers, who has the charge of the Mint pro secutions. Professor MILLMAN is said to have written a large portion of the third volume of his " History of the Jews" in Germany. The Royal Libraries at Munich and at Stuttgardt contain many early printed books and manuscripts, tending to illustrate the origin and progress of this singular people. HAMLET, the goldsmith and jeweller, pur chased last season, in the sale of the late Lord RIVERS'S pictures, several paintings, which were represented as the works of CANALETTI ; but they were so defiled with dirt and filth, that their identity was doubted by all thedealers, amateurs, and artists who happened to be present when they were sold. Consequently Mr. HAMLET obtained the whole at his own price, or, as the saying is, " for an old song." These pictures have recently been cleaned, and divested of all their impurities, and, in their present state, are now considered the most splendid views painted by CANALETTI that are at present in Englarel, with the ex ception of those in the possession of his MAJESTY in Wind sor Castle. WILLIAM JEMMETT, Esq , who formerly resided at Little Milton House, Oxfordshire, where he kept his carriage, an establishment of servants, a pack of hounds, and who forty years ago served the office of High Sheriff of the county, has, in consequence of a fire (sup posed to have been occasioned by an incendiary), by which he sustained a loss of 6,0001. or 7,000/., and by a series of misfortunes, been reduced from a state of affluence to indigence, and has now for some time been the inmate of a cottage at Cuddesden. A subscription has been opened to preserve Mr. JEstmErr, who is now seventy five years of age, from the sad necessity of applying in his latter days for parochial assistance.— Observer. KING'S THEATRE.—On Saturday evening nossim's Ilaliana in Algieri, was performed by the pupils of the Royal Academy of Music, in the minor theatre of this establishment, commonly called the King's Concert-room. The selection of this opera, so frequently represented in the course of last season, was apparently made as affording means of comparison whereby a just estimate could be formed of the respective qualifications of some of the juvenile performers. The result has fully justified the choice, and has proved as gratifying to every disit,terested well-wisher of the institution who witnessed this specimen of it; utility, as to the persons more im mediately concerned in its prosperity. The principal characters on this occasion revolved On Miss CHILEF (as Isabella), Miss TUCKER, (as Elvira), Mi ss B R OMLEY (as Zulma), Mr. SEGUIN (as Mustaph a ), M r. B RIZZI (as Lindoro), Mr. C. S. PACKER (as Thaddeo), and Mr. F. SMITH (as Hale), The orchestra, with one or two exceptions, entirely coxnp9sed of pupils of the Academy, was led by Mr. C. A. Staxoult, the senior first violin. CLASSIFICATION OF TB:. rOPULATION OF FRANCE MITH REFERENCE TO WEALTH. Class. Number of Total Revenue Per head Per head individuals per annum per day I 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 a 2,252,000 " It is strongly asserted in the papers from which these details are extracted, that in place of the three last classes in the table being stated at too low an amount, a very great proportion of the people of France contrive to support ex istence on even less than the lowest rate of twenty-five centimes, which is not quite equal to 2il. a day. To a casual observer this may scarcely appear passible; hut if we reflect that for months, and even years together, during the depressed period of the cotton manufacture, to say nothing of Ireland, the numerous class of. weavers in the West of Scotland, where there is no poor rate to make up the deficiency in wages, contrived to support a family of four or five individuals on wages which too oftan fell short of five shilings a week, it will not be so difficult to give credit to the statement I have nowsubmitted to you, on what I conceive to be respectable authority. It is confidently affirmed that seven millions of the people of France eat little or no bread, and that what they do eat is of the very worst quality, their usual food consisting of a boiled mess of barley mixed with rye, aed sarrazin or buck wheat, with chesnuts and dried roots; and indeed so largely do the chesnuts enter as an item into the general food of the great body of the people, that there is at this moment very serious distress in several important districts of France, arising from the deficiency of the chesnut crop for the present year. It is only since the yt ar 1812, which was one of great scarcity in France, that the potato has become the habitual food of this class of the population, which I fear is still very far indeed from verifying the philanthropic wish ascribed to their most popular monarch, Henry the Fourth, that every family in his kingdom should have a fowl in their put on Sundays. As to meat, it need scarcely be said, indeed, that they have scarcely an idea of it; their only drink is water, and they are little better lodged than as many savages. The esti mate is, that twenty centimes are consumed in food, and the other five serve for clothes and lodging. It is only on going back to the ninth class of the scale that we find the people provided with an adequate supply of the necessaries of life; and it is not till the eighth that it becomes com plete and satisfactory. Ease begins at the seventh, and in creases in the sixth, until, if the French understand the term, it approximates in the fifth, and at length reaches in the fourth and third the point of COMFORT. It is not til l we arrive at the second class that we come to the point of luxury, which in the first reaches tilts acme of every species of profusion and indulgence. " The taxes, which in France press most heavily on the middle and even on the lower classes, are those on salt am' on wine, That on salt is liable to all the objections of a poll or capitation tax; and that on wine is unequal in its operation, because it is the same on all qualities of wine, so that the mechanic pays as much to Government for his draught of the poorest trash which can be conceived, in ferior—infinitely inferior to our English small beer—as the millinnnaire requires to pay for his finest claret or Champagne. But this is a subject on which time today does not permit me to enter." The witty Lord A., after an absence of two or three weeks from town, called the other day on his bookseller, in Bond-street, and inquired if there were any new and interesting publications' Yes, replied the bibliopo list, handing to his Lordship " MILLMAN'S History of the Jews." Ah ! replied be, at the same time returning the book, " tell MILLMAN, I know more about the - Jews than he does.' MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, DEC. J.

STEAM-CARRIAGES.—Even with a velocity of thirty miles an hour, journies would 1:e performed with a rapidity, the very thought of which makes the head giddy. In the latitude of Petersburgh or Stockholm, a person starting at sunrise in June from the eastern part of Europe, and travelling at this rate westward, would add one hour to the length of his day ! Supposing the ve hicle to proceed at half the full velocity during tie night, 600 miles could he passed over in 21. hours. Three days would thus carry the traveller from Calais to Constanti nople; and four days would suffice to transport him from the midst of civilization in Amsterdam, to a Tartar horde on the banks of the Wulga !—Scotsman. BRADFORD.-I am sorry to inform you, that the sales at our market on Thursday have gone far to damp the ardour of many (myself amongst the rest), who had begun to hope fur a speedy return of prosperity. In conse quence of the quantity of goods sold for several market-days, it was expected heavy sales of stuffs would be again efflcted, but the truth is, the business done was by no means exten sive, and no improvement in prices for those which were sold. This, in my opinion, is the touchstone by which to try commercial prosperity ; and although you were correot in stating in a late Paper that fine goods were a shade higher, yet the pleasing anticipations which this held out -has not been realized, and the demand, even for that descrip tion of worsted goods, is not equal to the supply.—(From a correspondent in the Halifax Chronicle.) I3OLTON, DEC. 4.—A visible improvement Lis taken place this week in a certain kind of fabrics used for printing, and ore house has advanced 6d. per cut on the weaving. Several looms' work have been taken nut; but in other kinds of cloth there is not any material alteration. Oa Monday evening the master bed-quilt ma nufacturers met at Mr. Goontrat's, the Crown Inn, to take into consideration the best measures to be adopted during the present depressed state of trade ; when an una nimous vote wus agreed to not to reduce wages. The weavers were recommended to lodge informations against all persons who manufactured quilts from embezzled mate rials; and the Meeting pledged themnelves to defray all the costs of prosecuting the offenders. A lamentable accident oceured at Llanymy neeh. A lady and gentleman drove up in a gig to the Cross Keys inn. He alighted to give the horse some water, and, imprudently tahiny the bridle off, the animal plunged immediately, threw him down and trampled on him : the wheels passed over him and dreadfully lacerated his face. The horse then set off at full speed, with the lady in the gig, down the road, across the bridge, and along the Pool road about two miles, when she threw herself out, and escaped with little injury. The animal still pursued his course about three miles, and was then stopped. Mr. LLEWELLYN, surgeon, returned with the lady in his gir, and the meeting of the gentleman with his distressed partner, after an awful suspense, will be bet ter felt than described.— ,Shrewsbury Chronicle. We are sorry to learn that the issue of local paper has at length taken place, if not in this town, so nearly connected with it as to came to much the same thing. The Manchester and Liverpool District-Banking Company, who have just started in business at Stockport, having already put notes fur various amounts. We have already seen notes for 51., 101., and 201. ; and we have heard of others for other• sums. Of course we have no desire to say any thing in depreciation of the Company by whom this issue has been Made ; indeed, we could have no temptation to do so, for we do not happen to know the 'lamas either of a single member of the Board of Direc tong* even of a single shareholder in the establishment; and, we believe, the same sort of ignorance is pretty gene rally prevalent, even amongst the best-informed mercantile men in the town.-21faachester Guardian. THE CHAIN BRIDGE AT PONT KENIEYS.- The bridge, which is situated three miles above the town of Usk, is now completed, and open for the accommodation of the public. When the new line of road is formed, the distance from Aberg■avenny to Usk will be shortened two miles ; and what will be of still greater advantage, all hills will be avoided so as greatly to facilitate the intercourse be tween these towns and the communication with Bristol: There is now an approach to the bridge along a good parish road, entering a mile above Usk and coming out into the turnpike road above Pontygoitree House. The following is an account of the dimensions of the bridge:— Length of the suspension chains 242 feet. 1)o. from pier to pier 152 do. Breadth of driving way 22 do. Height of piers above the level of: the water 10 do. Weight of iron 4O tons. —Monmouth Merlin. An attempt to land a considerable quantity of contraband goods at Shoreham, on Wednesday night, ter minated most disastrously to the parties concerned. It had been arranged that a crop of goods, as the smugglers term it, should be landed at Shoreham-bridge, and a large party of the Blue Boys, as they arc called, were there as sembled, in order to convey the cargo into the country._ Meantime a large cutter, it is believed from Flushing, arrived in the offing, and a tub-boat, with 16 hands well armed, having on hoard 30 loaded mmkets and about 600 tubs of spirits and packages of tea and tobacco, was sent from her. From what we can learn, their instructions were, in case of meeting any impediment on entering the harbour, from the Blockade-men or Custom-house Offi cers, to keep up a running fight until they reached th bridge, when, in conjunction with the party there waiting, they would be able effectually to repel any attempt to seize the goods or make them prisoners. Providentially these precautions proved useless ; for, on the boat entering the harbour, either owing to the strong current, to misma nagement, or to ignorance as to the proper line of channel, the night being very dark, she ran on the wicker-work, or on some of the piles near the dolphins, and made consi derable water. The crew, comprised chiefly of Dutch men, fearful they were sinking, gave an alarm, upon which the Blockade-man on the Pier iretantly made sig- 1 nals to his comrades on tho adjacent stations. The smug- 1 glers lost no time in getting on shore, leaving their boats, arms, and cargo, an easy and valuable prey to the Blockade. Soon after, a Dutchman, of colossal stature, was taken by the Officers, who found him wandering on the beach, and was brought to Brighton for examination before the Ma gistrates, on suspicion of having been one of the crew.— It is feared that one or more of the boat's crew have been drowned, or suffocated in the mud. The same cutter landed last week, at Goring, near Worthing, 300 tubs, which were all worked clear. THE PINE MARTEN (MARTES A BIET U I. (From the British Naturalist.) The Pine Marten differs from the commoo marten in appearance only by being a little smaller, and having the throat and breast yel lowish instead of white ; though the latter is said not to be always the case, and is by some supposed to be the effect of ege. The pine marten is most abundant in Scotland the wild, wooded ravines of the mountains, waere it either builds a nest for itself on the tops of trees, or finds one ready made by dislodging or destroying a 'Phis the f b ( i )r ia m l . e anti u a n n l s ima l a t i l a un i t n l o v re hu s t e s cl i z , l e d a e r d e t . s ia l i l i a woods, it seldom approach. ..a the habitation of man, or interferes with his property. The habits, as well as the superior ttrittness aid softness of the fur, may be the result of the more rigid climate, as it is found that the marten of countries that are still colder has finer fur than the pine marten of Scotland. But if those circumstances soften the fur, they do not appear to soften the courage of the animal, for the pine-marten is juet as bold to attack, and as stanch as the common 117411 en, if indeed it be not more so. In mountain situa tions, it not only attacks and vanquishes the: wood-cat, but is said, by its stratagem, to bring down the pride of the mountain—the eagle herself, if the first and formidable clutch of lice talons does not transfix its vitals. With the cat it is in a state of open hostility; and often with she is crouching, with her eyes intent only "its her prey, and just ready to . pounce, the pilase marten will spring upon her, fasten upon the vessels of her neck, pin her to the spot, and put an end to her hunting. It is also said that the cat, though r ever so much pressed with hunger.. will not venture to spring upon the marten. The pounce of the cat is not a death-stroke, like ;lai, of the eagle—indeed, death at one blow is not the practice of any of the feline race, from the lion downwards. Catching, crippling, and then torturing to death, is the cat eystem ; and catch ing a marten, without killing it, by any animal whose throat it call reach. is " catching a tartar." Thus the cat does not williegly attack, but stilt she knows her enemy, and as she knows that it will attack if she does not, and as she is rather a brave anima!, she generally offers battle. The onset is one of some skill on ~t i lt The aim of the cat is to pounce with her r "a" upon the head of the marten, in such a Way as that the claws may destroy or wound is eyes, while her teeth are embedded in its neck ; and if she can accomplish that, the fate ofthe marten is decided. That, however, if dcre a-. all, mites be done in a moment, and if it le lost, there is no repairing the mistake. TI e eyring of the wood-cat is larger than that of her opponent, and the cat takes up her position so that site shall, if possible, alight upon his head with bee full spring and impetus. To distract her atten tion, he keeps moving his head from side to side' and if he succeeds in his object, he rush ve to close quarters by a side movement. If the spring of the cat take proper effect, there is a struggle, but not of long duration ; and it is th same with the opposite result, if the cat mis:aart the marten fasten, during the short pause of ee.. haustion after the spring. Here we may notice another curious feature in the economy of all the 1 feline race. It has been remarked even of the most powerful of them, that if they miss their object when they spring, they sneak cowardly away, and do not return to the'attack for some time, if indeed they return at all. Now the fact is, that it is not cowardice, but exhaustion. The gnashing with the teeth and the talons seems to be the re-action by which the motion of the spring is balanced, and the tone of the animal kept up ; and if it fail in that, it takes a while to recover the use of its springing muscles. Pro- bably the violence both of the spring and the exhaustion are connected in some way or other with the electric state of the body ; but that is a point not easily to be settled. Should both miss, the contest is renewed, and seldom, in the observed cases, (which are not indeed very nu merous,) given up until one is killed ; and in a protracted contest, the marten is always the vic tor, as the cat is first exhausted by the greater weight of her body, and the violence of her leaps. In the year 1805, a gentleman, en whose veracity we can depend, witnessed one of those combats in the Morven district. of Argyleshire. In crossing the mountains from Loch Sunatt southward, he passed along the bank of a very deep wooded dell, the hollow of which though it occasionally showed greed patches through the trees and coppice, was one hundred and fifty, or about two hundred feet from the top. The dell is difficult of access. and contains nothing that would compensate for the labour ; and thus it is abandoned to wild animals, and among others to the marten, which, though the skin fetches a high price, is not so much hunted there as in more open places; be cause, though they might succeed in shooting it from the heights above, they could not be sure of removing the body. Thus it is left to con tend with the mountain cat for the sovereignty of that particular dell, and both are safe, ex cept when they approach the farm-house at the bottom of the hill. The contest there lasted for moie titan half an hour, and both combatants were too intent on each other's destruction, to shun or fear observation. At last, however, the marten succeeded in falling upon the light side of the cat's neck, and jerking his long body over her, so as to be out of the reach of her claws; when, after a good deal of squeaking and struggling, by which the enemy could not be shaken off, the martial achievements of puss were ended in the field of glory. The victories of the marten over the golden eagle, though there be a tale of one of them at every place where eagles and martens are com mon, are not quite so well authenticated ; and wood-cats, pole -cats, and even weasels, which, though lithe and active enough in their way, are certainly nothing to the martens, are often the he roes of the tale. It runs uniformly in the same manner :—Down conies the eagle in the pride of her strength, slash goes her talons into the lint') of the marten, and with a flap of her wings she is soaring toward the zenith. The prey, however, is only scotched ; and the marten or the weasel, or whatever else it may be, jerks round its head into the throat of the eagle, and both fall lifeless to the earth. These accounts may be true; but they belong to that class, of which there is a separate edition for every dis trict, and therefore they would need verification by an eye-witness.
