Morning .. 40 minutei after 6. I Evening .. A urinates after 7, 59,5481. The total amount of ordinary re;enue for the year is 49,198,2591., for the quarter 14,116,7471, showing an increase on the year of 88,2641., and on the quarter of 539,064/. The total charge for the quarter ending the 10th October, 1846, is 8,598,6771., and the surplus of the Consolidated Fund is 5,762,370/. Under these circumstances, we think we are perfectly justified in asserting that the financial state of the country, as shown by the returns of the public re venue for the past quarter, is most satisfactory. Adverse circumstances of a local character have delayed until very recently the transmission of a con gratulatory address from the electors of Wolverhamp ton to Sir ROBERT PEEL. Within the last week that most interesting document has been forwarded to its destination at Drayton Manor, and responded to with a very courteous precipitation by the Right Honour able Baronet. Singularly as these expressions of gratitude and gratulation have been procrastinated, we would nevertheless direct to them an especial and universal attention; we would individualise this par ticular address amongst the innumerable others al ready forwarded to the distinguished national bene factor, who as Prime Minister of England dared to emancipate the commerce of Great Britain; we would for a moment elevate the constituency of Wolverhampton above all other constituencies, and render the conduct of its electors the object of contemplation to all the other borough and county electors of the United Kingdom. Out of honest thankfulness we conceive that: some such peculiar mark of honour is demanded ; for the enfranchised inhabitants of Wolverhampton have entitled them selves to the gratitude of their fellow-countrymen. In regard to the enlightened and magnificent cause of free trade Wolverhampton has assumed a paramount position among the many towns entitled to send a representative to Parliament. When that great cause was the object of derision and contumely among all classes of the community—when to profess doctrines inimical to the protective system was to become almost an object ofexecration as a profligate and unprin cipled politician, the electors of Wolverhampton gave to that cause the most signal assistance which, under the circumstances, any body of men could possibly have afforded. They returned as their representative in the British Legislature a man eminently qualified to uphold the interests of the weak and abused ma jority against the interests of the powerful and tyrannical minority ; a man who was ready to relin quish all the allurements of personal ambition to become the gladiator of the populace upon a despised arena; one who possessed the faculty, as well as the will, to battle against one of the monster abuses of the Constitution. The services of Mr. VILLIERS require no enumera tion to elicit the applause of his fellow-country men. Those services are enrolled in the Par liamentary history of Great Britain, but, more than that, they are ;indelibly stamped upon the memory of his contemporaries. It can never be forgotten, in reviewing the occurrences which have ultimately conduced to the realisation of free trade, that Mr. VILLIERS was the eloquent and consistent champion of those principles when they were most derided and when their success was altogether hopeless ; it can never be forgotten that year after year a motion for the abolition of restrictive imposts upon grain was made in the House of Commons by Mr. VILLIEns. and that, although it was sometimes negatived with explosions of laughter, and invariably by enormous majorities, it was sure to be re-introduced in the fol lowing session with unabated earnestness and renewed ability. When no prestige encompassed the advocacy of free trade, but when; on the contrary, the two great hostile parties were alone in unison upon that particular—when the peasantry credulously regarded protection as their only safeguard—when the mer cantile classes dreaded the effects of foreign competi tion—when the mass of the electors, and the vast bulk of the legislators, coincided in opposing what they conceived to be the fatuous day-dreams of poli tical economy—then it was that the Member for Wolverhampton pleaded with cogency of reasoning and rhetorical zeal for the acceptation of a policy . ' which was otherwise unadvocated. Wonderful changes have occurred since that period; the scheme that was hitherto regarded as the chimera of political adventurers has been written in the sta tute-book amidst the acclamations of the popular representatives. To the almost solitary name of VILLIERS have been added the names of many illus trious statesmen. The proposition that was originally carried down to St. Stephen's, session after session, in the pocket of a barrister, has since then been im pelled to its final approval by a vast and marvellous association. Ihe reed has expanded into a trumpet, which has breathed the grand truths of political economy into every corner of the land; and carried conviction to the most obdurate antagonists. Still, throughout all these extraordinary alterations, the voice, and the hand, and the heart of the Honourable Member for Wolverhampton have continued at the service of the people, as they were during the days of tribulation and discomfiture. On the platform of the League meetings, by the side of COBDEN in the house of Commons, in the closet as well as in the rostrum, with the pen as well as with the tongue, Mr. VILLIERS still continued the same arduous and untiring course as when he had stood almost alone upon the floor at Westmi ,ster. It is well that these things should be remembered, and that their recollection should be cherished, because it is in them that we possess the best guarantee for the integrity of future constituencies and the p-triutism of future representatives. Wolverhampton has shown itself worthy of its Member, by transmitting an ex pression of its gratitude and admiration to the states. man wh' was mainly instrumental in rendering those principles triumphant, for the success of which their representative had so long yearned and so zealously laboured. In acknowledging this address from the electors of Wolverhampton, Sir ROBERT PEEL has himself paid an emphatic and well-deserved tribute to the Member for that borough. Those constituents, says he, "are entitled to a share of the credit which is justly due to one of their representatives (Mr. VILLIERS) by whom those principles have been advocated for many years, under adverse as well as prosperous circumstances, with great perseverance and singular ability." In recur ring to the memorable epoch which has witnessed the acceptation of free trade by the Legislature, the people of Great Britain will not fail to remember how much that acceptation is owing to the enlighten ment of Wolverhampton and to the eloquent advo cacy of the lion. CHARLES PELHAM VILLIERS. All honour to the Irish Government, to the talented and patriotic Nobleman who now fills the Vice royalty, and to his upright and able colleagues. The step kas been taken which we hare so long advocated: the money to be levied on the different lands for the purpose of affording employment to the destitute and impoverished children of the soil is no longer to be expended solely on public works of a barren end unproductive nature; the land is to be improved and brought into a higher state of cultivation ; and we may, therefore, reasonably hope not only that there will be a means by which the extraordinary ad ditional charges on the lands throughout the country may be met without any additional pressure on the already heavily encumbered landowners, but that the increased means will be obtained in the most desirable manner, and that increased food will also be the happy result; that Ireland.vvill not only afford an ample pro vision for the wants and necessities of her people, but that she %yill again be enabled, as heretofore, to export from her abundance a copious supply of edibles to the pe(ple of Great Britain in return for their manu factures. The Executive have taken upon themselves a great re , porsibility, but one for w hick an ample indemnity mill he unhesitatingly granted immediately on the meeting of I'arliament, which, thanks to their decided and vigorous determination, it will now b. unnecessary to convene until the usual and ac customed period ; and thus gentlemen will be enabled to remain in their several localities at a time when their presence will be most valuable, and the necessity of hasty legi-lation will be dispensed with. In The Sul of Thursday we published a circular which was forwarded to the lieutenants of the different counties, bearing date the 6th instant, and containing a copy of a letter addressed the previous day to the , chairman of the Board of Works, with a request that it might as speedily as possible be laid before the ma gistrates and cess-payers of the several counties. In this letter the Government plan, and the length to which his Excellency is prepared to go, is fully set forth, and we doubt not that it will be hailed with the greatest joy and gratitude by all classes throughout the country. It states that his Excellency has had under his consideration the various representations made to him of the operation of the Poor Employ ment Act, and of the difficulty of finding in the greater number of baronies public works on which it would be expedient or beneficial to expend money to the extent requisite for affording employment to the people during the existence of the present distress. With a view, therefore, of obviating the bad effects of a great expenditure of money in the execution of works comparatively unproductive, he desires the Commissioners of Public Works to direct their officers in the several counties to consider and report upon such works of a reproductive character and paramount utility as may be presented in the manner therein mentioned, at any sessions held under the above-mentioned Act. And it states that his Excel lency will be prepared to sanction and approve of such of those works thus recommended by the Board, in the same manner as if they had been strictly public works, and presented as such in the manner required by the Act. The following are the rules to be acted on, viz.:— " I. The presentment sessions will estimate the sum which it may be necessary to raise off the barony for the pur pose of affording employment. "2. They will also ascertain the proportion of such as sessment, which, according to the last poor-law valuation, may be chargeable upon each electoral division of an union, or portion of an electoral division (if the whole shall not be included) in the barony ; and they will ob tain for this purpose, from the clerk of each poor-law union, a copy of such valuation. "3. They will present for such useful and profitable works to be executed in each electoral division, to the amount of its proportion of the assessment aseettahted as above. " 4. In the case of drainage, however, and subsoiling, so far as it shall be connected with drainage, an under taking shall be given in writing, and transmitted with the presentment, by the person or persons whose lands are proposed to be drained (being proprietor' in the terms of the Act 5 and 6 Victoria, chap. 89), stating that the money so to be expended shall be a charge ex clusively on the lands so to be improved, and be levied from the same, according to an award to be made by the. Commissioners as under the last-mentioned Act and its amendments." If our readers will look to The Sun of the 12th September they will see that the above rules closely follow the suggestions we then offered, and which we have continually repeated from time to time since that period. We proposed " that a register should be kept in every district of the persons for whom em ployment should be provided, and an apportionment of the quantity of labour, so as to ascertain that &illy chargeable against each acre in proportion to its value." By this the first rule would be immediately complied with, as the sum necessary to be raised off the barony for the purpose of affording employment would at once be ascertained. The suggestion has also been followed in the instructions for the forma• tion and guidance of relief committees, on which we yesterday commented. The committees are forthwith to prepare and to revise, from time to time, such a list for their several districts which shall at once point out, in the clearest manner, the resources necessary to be provided through out the entire country. The second rule provides for the apportionment of the quantity of labour chargeable upon each electoral division in the barony, and thus the proportion fairly appli cable to each acre, according to its value. The third rule adopts the great principle, that every owner of land must employ the poor belonging to that land. It directs the sessions to present for such useful and profitable work to be executed in each electoral division to the amount of its proportion of the assessment. Thus, no sum will be levied fur public works in any division where their proportion of the entire sum to be raised is employed in useful works within their boundaries ; this being the case, there is little doubt that the people will select the most beneficial channel for the employment of that labour for which they must find full occupation. We confess that we should be better pleased to see the rule carried to the extent which we recommended on the 12th September, and that each owner of land should be permitted to select the manner in which he would employ the labour from which the land in his hands should provide work ; but the step taken is in the right direction, and may easily, and probably will be, extended to the point we have advocated: We urged " that the labour for which the land is bound to pay should be employed in developing the productive power of the land." That will now be done in every instance which is presented for by the sessions and approved by the officers of the Board of 'Works. Igain, we said—" The necessity for the interference of the State is to compel a certain quantity of land to provide for a certain quantity of labour. If the owner or oc cupier of that land is willing to do so, he should he permitted to select the manner of that employ ment himself. In such a case he will be certain to apply it in the most beneficial and advan tageous channel. A labour-rate should be imposed on the land, sufficient for the remuneration of the persons requiring employment, but a drawback should be allowed therefrom fur the actual amount paid for labour by the person chargeable. If one hundred acres of land should be chargeable with the maintenance of ten labourers, the owner should fairly be discharged from any payment ; if he can clearly and satisfactorily prove that he has kept ten men in constant occupation, he should only be bound to pay the balance not so expended." Of course, the la• botuers so to be employed must be persons selected fre.m the register, to which we have alluded, of labourers for whom emplOyment must be provided In order to make the rule equitable it must be car ried to that extent : the money raised off of every holding should be expended in that particular holding, and it would be manifestly unjust that any person should have labour paid for by his neighbour de- Noe voted rcaai n t n o n. og tte se e he : rwhysu b s o a n t g labou r improvement in tohf the s ame s his ma ma may private n o t b e applied dproperty, well, as t o any other work.

N rsv it appears to us only fair and just that the owner of such lands should be allowed for the portion of labour for which it should find work, without its being made an exclusive charge thereon. 'We, however, tender our hearty thanks to the Executive for that which they have promulgated ; they have more th an f u lfill e d the high expectations entertained on their a ccess i on to office, and by their statesmanlike conduct th e y have given f a i r groun d s for the hope expressed by his Excellency, viz., that " the calamity with which it has pleased PROVIDENCE to afflict Ireland, may yet in its result become con ducive to the production of greater abundance of human food from the soil, and to the future perma nent improvement of the country." The Neu , Hamburgh Gazelle publishes a letter from Dusseldorf, which states that the Conference of the ZolvErein, assembled at Berlin, had determined to raise the import duty on linen-thread to 2 rix• dollars per quintal, and on twists to 3 rix-dollars. Accounts have been received from Rome to the 30th September. The old Papal party are endea vouring to excite the people in the provinces against the liberal POPE. The following proclamation, which has been extensively circulated in one of the pro vincial towns, is, it is said, the production of Cardinal DELLA GENG : " Very dear Brethren,—Our holy religion is nearly succumbing, The intrusive Pontiff Mastai is the op. 'pressor of it. Ile belongs to the party of Young Italy.' His acts show that. Vigilance, the❑ ! Prudence and courage, brethrui ! If you have Ilse courage, which I believe you to have, the religion of the only Son of God made man will triumph. God will assist us ; for besides the divine arm we have that of the world—the right of Ferdinand I and the left of Ferdinand IL In the mean time do not cease to remind the faithful that the de ' vcuring germ resists in rain the will of the Most High. The d« vouring germ shall be smothered by us. On a future day the terrible day of our glory »ill be pub lished, and heaven will assist us in the vi_t2rprize " The fora has given some dissatisfaction to the Liberal party by his nomination of Delegates, the whole of whom are ecclesiastics. It had been hoped that his HoLINEss would have appointed secular De- , puties. It is reported that Cardinal Gym, in conse quence of the strong opposition which all his rr_easur• s met with in the Consistory, had tendered his resigt a tion, but that, at the earnest request of the Porz, he hal consented withdraw it. me old Papal party is supported in ats opposition to the Porn's measures by Austria. • The Austrian garrisons of Ferrara and Co machio have been reinforced, and the th..fensive works of the citadel of Ferrara strengthened. The news from Lisbon is to the 2d instant. The intrigues of the German DIETZ, who seems to have the King and Queen of PORTUGAL completely under his control, and who is all but avowedly the agent of a foreign power, which has long been seek ing to gain an ascendancy in the Peninsula, hare at length aroused the feelings of nationality of the Portuguese people. The distracted state of the country is attributable solely to the intrigues of the Afrancesado faction, of which DIFTZ and the CABRALS are the tools, and the KING and QUEEN the dupes. It is much to be feared that a revolution, which may cost the QUEEN her throne, will be the consequence of these intrigues, for rumours were rife in Lisb )11 that a necessity might arise for proclaiming as King of I'ortugal Dorn PEDRO the heir to the throne, a child of ten years of age, and appointing a regency to govern in his name. Th• Camarilla and the Ministry are at war, an,l DIETZ acd the Court are openly intriguing for their overthrow. The Bank, instigated by the Camarilla, had refused to assist the Ministry, and had expected that the resignation of Ministers would have been the consequence of their refusal. The Ministry, however, managed to do without their assistance, and are still in office. The resumption of cash payments by the Bank is postponed to the 31st December Madrid papers of the 3 , 1 have arrived. The Bill for raising 25,000 men for the army had passed the Senate, and both Chambers had adjourned. It was not supposed they would re-assemble before the dissolution. Count BRESSON was about to proceed to Alcoban das, to receive the Prirces. Mr. BULWER was to leave Madrid on the 3d for Aranjuez, where he would remain until the marriages were over. Senor SALAMANCA, the banker, and seve ral members of the Opposition party, would also withdraw from Madrid during the stay there of the French Princes. The ileraldo states that the QUEEN will grant an extensive and general amnesty. Mr. BuLwEa dispatched a courier for Cadiz on the 3d, with instructions for Admiral Sir IV. PARKER. MADRID BOLSA, Ocr. 3 —The Three per Cents. were done at 34% for cash ; the Four per Cents., 21 1 /, ; the Five per Cents., at 21 1 4 . ; the Debt without Interest, 6 3 ,4 ; and the Coupons, 2014. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. The Constitutionnel gives the following as the sub stance of the various notes which have passed on the subject of the Montpensier marriage between the British and the French Governments:— " We receive from London information fully cenfirm ing the views which we published yesterday of the pre sentation of a sec lid note by the Ambassador of Eng land to M. Guizot. The communications which had been math both to the Cabinet of Madrid and that of Paris, in the name of the Goverement of Great Britain, before the departure of the Duke de Montpensier, had not as yet any other character, notwithstanding their energy, than that of mere representations—amicable ob servations. England seemed to think that the two Go vernments of Spain and France would adji.urn the exe ' cut:on of the project of marriage, at lea- t uutil after a complete exchange ofexplanations. These representations bore on three principal points : First, the British Cabinet appealed to the stipulations of the treaty of Utrecht, and showed that the project of marriage was contrary to riese stipulations; secondly, England called attention to the fact, that the renunciation of Austria to all right to the Croen of Spain had precisely had for cause and condition the renunciation of the Bourbons of France to all action, direct or indirect, over the same Crown. France, in ceasing to observe her engagements, would cause the question of the succession in Spain, to again arhe in Europe. Thirdly, the British Cabinet referred to the claims which England had to some gratitude on the port of Spain, for the services rendered to the cause of Lobelia. It appeared to it, therefore, only just that France should not endeavour to exclude England from all influence beyond the Pyrenees, and should net appear to ba determined to ensure by a marriage. principally in the hypothesis that the Queen should not have an heir to the throne, the govern ment of the Peninsula. It is well known that M. Guizot at first gave no reply to those observations. When the news arrived in London that the Duke de Montpensier had certainly departed for Madrid, a council of the English Ministers assembled; under the influence of very strong dissatisfaction. The announce ment of the departure of the Duke de Montpensier serving us the only reply to a diplomatic communication, was considered by the English Cabinet as an offensive proceeding. It is too notorious what secrecy surrounds, in England, all Cabinet Councils, and therefore the measures determined on in this deliberation are not accurately known. This, however, is what has been allowed to transpire. Another note was dispatched both to Madrid and Paris. That for our Cabinet was to have been presented on Monday by Lord Normanby to M. Guizot. This time it is no longer a question of observations and representations. The mar riage is considered as a fait accompli. The English Cabinet adds to its protest formal declarations and re servations! It declares that the principal and veritable object of the treaty of Utrecht was to raise an absolute obstacle to the union of the two crowns of France and Spain on the same head. It is perfectly true that at the present moment such a union is not on the Lapis, but it becomes possible hereafter, by the union of the eventual rights of the Duke de Montpensier to the crown of France, with the not distant claims of the Infanta to the crown of Spain. It is first of all OD this subject that England makes her reservations! She next shows that, in order to ensure the object of the treaty of Utrecht, th e contract ing Poe ers had taken a certain number of precautions; amongst which is the renunciation of th e house of Orleansto its p d in, es u ne n id d , e a r n w ts. hat ß ev n e t r itp form : that )r crownsev d mighthe a . in ent to the British Mini s t ry t h at t hi s precaut i on , ei this clause, is forma ll y violated by the marriage, and it is also the object o f the protest of the BritidCabinet, t and of the reserva tio ns which it makes relative to the conduct it may think fit to Ob serve ulteriorly. The note, crown come me of to S as we are positively assured, declares that the only arrangement which could satisfy England would be the renunciation of the Infanta Luisa to the crown of `pain for her and her descendants from tl.e moment she becomes the Duchess de Montpensier.

Mr. I3ulwer has received orders to hold himself at a distance from Madrid during the celebration of the marriage and of the files attendant on it, in order to thus protest publicly by his absence. In the interval which e l apse d between the transmission and the handing in or this, M. Guizot, as is known, gave a reply to the pre vious note of the British Government.

We believe that the resentment ‘‘hich Enland feels at the mariner in which she has been treated causes her to exaggerate much the poli tical importan ce of the marriage. But what is to be said of our clever negotiators, who have succeeded in en venoming to such a deeree an 'arir which is at bottom but a simple family arrangement?" The other papers, although they all, with the ex ception of the Journal des Debuts, comment on the Montpensier marriage, contain nothing on this sub ject worthy of extract. A telegraphic dispatch, received at Paris on Thurs day, announces that the Due DE MONTPENSIER and the Duc D'AUMALE arrived at Madrid at three o'clock on Tuesday, anti were riceived with en- imiasm. The Jour ral des Debats has an admirab'e article on the subject of free trade. In al!usion to a meet ing of protectionists held at Rouen, it expresses its astornAment at the blindness of ti.e cotton manu facturers of the place in supporthig a protective system. " The situation of Rouen (says the Debut...) is so ad- Manchuster, conilittnheerectUntbraer Contrary, vantageous, that raw material of every kind c ould (with freedom of c h ea p, if not cheaper, there than even in Manchester. Rouen bas the unique privilege of king accessible to maritime navigation. is inland. Thus, cotton and dye-woods would cost leis at Rouen. Newcastle coals and iron would be as cheap as in England, and labour is cheaper at Rouon than at Manchester." The Pr esse, on the contrary, in writing of this meeting, l au d s protectionist principles to the skier, ' and in the very next article, on the subject of the commercial treaty with Russia, it shows practically the utter absurdity of those principles : "The ratifications of the treaty of commerce which has been concluded with Russia are not yet (xehangeil, but this diplomatic formality will he accomplished in a few days. We Ist lieve we are justified in stating :hat the new treaty has provided that the enormous portion which other nations monopolised of the carrying trade between France and Russia shall be reduced to the profit of the flags of those two Powers. A question of leeali , y has been raised on the subject of this treaty. \Volved waiting for its ratification by the Chambers (a neces sary condition) of the clauses which modify the naviga tion and tonnage duties, the Government has issued orders in our principal commercial ports to carry into execution the stipulations of the treaty with respect to Russian shipping. There was but one opinion on this course ; the Ministers assumed a power ahi e l, was not legally conferred oa them, they anticipated the decision of Parliament, and the regularity of their conduct may certainly be contested in a stsrietly legal point of _view. The Ministers, therefor',., must pray a Bill of Indemnity, but if the circum,,strtnees afterdirr this affair he examined it will be at t etiowlectecl that thej never could require such a l'ayss.,r under butter circum stances. In tact grave tatere, - ,tt s were stifferin4 in coese quence of the commereial. severity to which the treaty which has been concluded has put Net nd. The causes of this severity are the foiio•A —Dor ing a long period our shipping eejoyeii ice Riosies ports the advantages coeferred on the national flag They were assimileted to Russian shipping, and paid no additional charges. Oar legislators were tar from proving themselves so liberal to the Russian flag. They imposed large differential duties on its entrance into our ports. They were so ridi culous as to treat the Russian flag as a rival of whom they were afraid, after having without hesita?ie r, granted terms of reciprocity to two of the 01)st formida ble navies, those of Great Britain and the tinned States of America. They did not even step there, they added last year an additional duty on the produce of Russia. The effect of this measure was to exclude her merehen- dize, after having excluded her flae—ae excess of hos tility which must have provoked repris.ils. We had 110 L long to wait for those reprisals. By an ukase, dated June 9, 1845, our flag and our produce were subjected to prohibitive duties. First, our flag alone had to suffer, our merchandise still continued to ,find its way to the Russian markets through the English, Dutch, Swedish, and Norwegian flags, wh o a l one profited by this ar rangement. But this last and miserable resource was soon taken from us, as the Russian Government, to secure the effect of its reprisals, could not fail to require, sooner or later, from those ships of a third Power what is called a certificate of origin ; in other terms, it im posed an additional duty on all merchandize not coming directly from the country of the flag which protected them. That became inevitable ; that is the general law in alt Europe in matters of excise, and from that period Russia was hermetically sealed against our exports, as her ports had already been against our shipping. But such a state of things would have been truly calamitous to a number of interests worthy of the entire solicitude of the Government. It bscame necessary to meet the peril by the conclusion of a treaty which would place the two countries on a footingof a gocdcommercial understanding. This has been accomplished. The treaty haring been concluded, there remained the question of the execution, and it was here that the scruples of strict legality pre sented themselves. The Government passed over them, reserving to itself the right to apply to the Chambers to cover the irregularity. For our part, without denying that it would have been desirable that the matter had passed otherwise, we cannot impute as a crime to the Cabinet the resolution ad opted by it. To adjourn the execution of the treaty ant 1 the two Chambers could have approved of it would have been toe xpose our com merce, our manufactures, and our navigat'on to the loss of seasons; and the situation produced by the ukase of June 9 became so intolerable that the di sire and the impatience to get rid of it can easily be compreheneed. The Russian Government took the first step. It had been the first to place our ships and our produce in possession of all the advent tges secured to them by the treaty ; but it was on condition that we should return the favour. Should we have exposed ourselvss to the - breaking off from a Gay violent which was not obliged to undergo the same . formalities, and of which the in trigues of our rivals might have succeeded in changing the present good diuposit:on? Should we suffer the Britisl), Prussian, or Swedish navies to enjoy in peace during seven or eight months longer the advantages • found by them in the, to us, disastrous ukase of the 9th of June? Candidly speaking, it would have been to act, the part of a dupe. The unanimous reclamatiors of the Chamber of Commerce excited the Government to act as it has done. The act is rather bold. Agreed; but we neither mean to admit it as a principle, or as a precedent. And again, who for it? Nobody. On the contrary, a multitude of interests gain by it, and this consideration is of some weight. Let us guard the worship of what is sacred, and the law is without contradiction such; but let us guard it like intelligent moms, and let us not suffer it to degenerate into an absurd sup e r s tition." I . A letter from Algeria, published in the Independent of the Eastern Pyrenees, states that a revolt has arisen amongst the soldiers of the lath Light In fantry, who were about to be dispersed amongst other regiments in the colony. They had proceeded to the residence of their colonel, carried off the colours of the regiment, and burned them. This act of rebellion had taken its rise in the discontent of the men at not being permitted to return to France with their officers. The Minister of Marine has entered into contracts for constructing steam machinery for the following new ships : For the Mogador, machinery of 640 horse-power; for the Caton, 260; for the Gorgone, 300; for the Eumenide, 300; for the Mouette, 200• for the Goeland, 200 ; and for the Phoenix, 200.

SUICIDE OF A LUNATIC IN THE REGENT'S CANAL. —On Thursday afternoon an inquest was held before Mr. William Baker, at the City of Paris, Bonner's fields, Bethnal-green, on the body of Mrs. Emma Fox, re.ted 36, the wife of a weaver, residing at No. 10, Abbey place, Bethnal-green. It appeared from the evidence that, for several years past, the deceased had been in a state of mental derangement. She was con fined in St. Luke's workhouse for eight months, and only returned home five weeks since, because she was pregnant. During her labour she was extremely vic lent, and a restraint was put upon her. On Thursday morning last she was missing, and was not discovered until the following Tuesday, floating near Old Ford bridge, in the Regent's Canal. The jury returned an open verdict of "Found Drowned." DEATH OF A VERY OLD SOLDIER.--011 Friday 11.. tr, Alexander Duncan died in this city, at the great age of 111 years.

THE QUARTER'S REVENUE. The returns of the state of the public revenue for the year and quarter ending the 10th of October, 1846, are most satisfactory—satisfactory as showing not only a positive increase of revenue, but as demon strating the truth of the doctrine upon which the Government has of late years acted, viz., that a di minution of the duties upon customable and excise able articles causes such an increase of consumption as to create an increase of revenue as a consequence of a diminution of taxation. Notwithstanding the recent reduction in the duties of the Customs, and although the decrease upon the year is 501,6191., yet the increase upon the quarter is 462,4721., showing such a tendency towards permanent increase, that in a very short period the Customs' revenue under the IoW duty tariff will, probably, considerably exceed the Customs' revenue under the high duty tariff. Ths total Customs revenue for the year is 18,150,933/., for the quarter 5,310,835/. The fact that diminished duties lead to increased revenue is still more clearly demonstrated under th• head of Excise. Not with standing the total removal of the glass and auction duties, and the diminution of various of the Excise duties levied on artie!es of consumption, we find under this head an increase both on the year and on the quarter; on the year of 182,7171., and on the quarter of 226,8201., thus showing that the increase is still progressing. The total amount of the Excise revenue for the year is 1 2,251,9321., and for the quarter 4,181,926/. The total revenue for Stamps is for the year 6 ,983,129/., for the quarter 1,174,364/., showing an increase in the year of 21,759/., and a decrease on the quarter of 5,811/. Now considering that during the corresponding quarter of last year the railway fever was at its height, it is satisfactory to find that the deficiency in the quarter is only to so small an amount. Under the head Taxes we find an in crease on the quarter of 8,6611., and on the year of 10,2794 the total revenue from the Taxes for the year being 4,238,5601., and fur the quarter 209,9401. The amount derived from the property-tax during the year was 5 ,332,157/. ; during the quarter 1,972,128/. ; showing an increase on the year of 205,0311., and on the quarter of 148,2451. The Post-office revenue still continues to increase in such a ratio as fully to bear out the anticipations of the advocates of the plan of cheap postage; and if the plan were carried out to its full extant, as originally proposed—if the greatest pos sible accommodation were afforded to the public, at the least possible charge, there cannot be a doubt but that the revenue derived from the Post-office would be at once more than doubled. Even under the present very inefficient arrangements, we find that it shows an increase on the year of 1 14,0001., and on the quarter of 8,000/.; the total amount for the year being 802,0001., and for the quarter 217,000/. The revenue f on the Crown Lands for the year is 115,0001., for this quarter 45,000/. ; showing a decree • on the year of 30,0001., and an increase on the quarter of 15,0001.

GILLOL'IW,II We regret to have to record the death of d of Gillon, Esq., of Wallhouse. This melancholy fi lj , expected event occurred on Wednesday morniug,: f el li li the tidings have thrown a deep gloom over the t4, e 13 , / 0 district in which the deceased's name was so proto l r fi, i , before the public as a candidate for the honour of se el; them in Parliament. The lamented gentleniso,!ili tical opponents unite with his supporters in deP"' e ol calamity which thus deprives society of an useful E li h igi' J ' and inflicts an irreparable loss on an amiable and P o ll esteemed family. As a public man, Nir o Gillon O f been admired for the literality of his views e l :, .10: manly independence of his character, whilst 1110 ,r a l i0 . ,i / life, h 4 extensive hospitalities, and generous soniaVolY ties, justly endeared him to a large circle of neigh n t anldtfir.isupposediends. for that thi s p a i n f u l even t w ill preLe"yll;l then serious opposition to the election of Mr. J. P . ro o d as repr esentative of the Stirling Burghs. The Perelo esteem in whi c h M r . Gill on was h e l d b y a large °i v, local connexions is b e li eve d to have - been the on:cl., stacle to perf ec t unan i m i ty among t h e Lib era l 0 ,4 of all cl asses i n b e h a lf of M r. S m i th, whose sVoril,f, qualificati ons an d p re - em i nent c l a i ms to a seat i n ment were frankly acknowledged by Mr. Gillon hid if and the great body of his supporters. Opposite7opti; deed, in any other instance, we believe would he so ill less. The Edinburgh Whig clique cannot P„/ P 3( select another candidate whom the supporter!_ i y4 Gillon would prefer to the distinguished ex-Cbs l 7l 1 1 ‘ the Anti-Corn-law League, and ex-President 00, Manchester Chamber of Commerce ; nor do i ve o es i !‘ they will have the folly to betray their own O l e ness by making su c h an attempt. The hg electors of the Stirling and Dunfermline Burg t is c o numerous and powerf u l, b ut they are likewise si.;:g free-traders, and incapable, we trust, of succum b po of metropolitan di c t a ti on ; and we do not believe e Yr them was induced to withhold his support fro m 0f Smith by any o th er consideration than that of peol/'m attachment to Mr. Gill on. Indeed, it is scarcely P N 0 ° 0 0:1 that any of th em could oppose Mr. Smith M ; motives, ina smuc h as the perfect unanimity of P f tV O sentiments displayed in the respective addresses () o gentleman and Mr. Gillon showed the two candid s 10' be 'without difference of political opinion. Th i ' t Allison cannot succeed to the support a.or- I ec Jed ts Gillon is cle ar l y man i fest. The gentlemen ii'l°„toti°,4 prepared to repose confidence in the latter, on S - j ei of his long experience and tried services, can 03 te r g be expected to repose similar confidence in a your- s 'tlie tried, inexperienced man ; more especially when ti n se , lon_g-tried candidate offers himself to their referent Under these circumstances it may confidently 0 , eels ; that the harmony which it is so essential shoultior among Liberals of all classes will no longer be Ott in these b urg h s on occasion of Lord Dalmeny's Vole' ment; but, on the contrary, that the unanimity . 0 0 1 ); pervades all parties in regretting Mr. Gillon's ' lo ' o o death will be equally extended to the important o ool l affected thereby. The political friends of Mr. cannot, nn the occasion more suitably evince blabth e : spect for his memory than by testifying that the As Or:, respect" whi c h h e so recently proclaimed towa rds Smith o p erates as paramount inducement to to- or transfer to Mr. Smith the political confidence 110 6010 0 ' port they were prepared to have rendered to Mr. —Edinburgh Chronicle of Saturday.
