The Moniteur publishes the following report, ad dressed to the Icing by the Minister of Commerce:— " Sire,—Some partial modifications in the Customs' Tariff are demanded by Merchants and manufacturers. ". Several companies have been formed in different states of South America for the purpose of monopolising the trade and carriage of Peruvian bark. ,These combi nations, which must have the effect of increasing beyond measure the price of that useful article, must be coml bated and neutralised as much as possible. With that view, the tariff as respects Peruvian bark has been re vised and reduced, particularly f,r the article grown in countries tituated beyond Cape Horn. "The greatest part of the marble imported into France is conveyed in foreign vessels. The navigation over-tax is insufficient. We do not propose to augment it, but we deem it necessary t o re d uce t h e import duty thereon in our vessels. In this manner will the over tax on fo reign flags increase proportionally and the tariff on mar ble will still sufficiently protect the interest engaged iu that trade. _ .

By order of the Board, . London, Nov. 25, 1846. EDWARD HOARE, Secretary. " Nitrate of soda and nitrate of potash pay two dif ferent duties, the heaviest of which affects nitrate of potash. That difference has no real object. The two productions are similar, and may, without inconvenience, be subjected to a uniform duty, the scaleipf which would remain gradeated according to the distance of the coun tries from which they are imported. Nitrate coming from India and the Pacific Ocean will only pay in future If. per 100 kilogrammes. In order to cause no derange ment amongst the holders of these articles, or the car goes shortly expected, the modification is only to take place from the Ist of March, 1847. " Several resinous productions of the western coast of Africa, and, amongst others, copal gam and Demmer resin, of which we ought to encourage the importation, are subjec t to duties of 20 a nd 25 f rancs p e r quintal, whilst those of India only pay 1 franc. In the interest of our establishments, as also of our national industry, it appears expedient to reduce the duty on'those resins To—l-franc. " Corsica can supply us with several quantities of wrought anclsolished marblesrlind a certain quantity of cast iron sleepers for railroads. It is but equitable and useful to afford facilities for the importation of these productions of our departments. " Finally, the harbour of Rotten has waited this long time for the privilege of receiving in her en:repot prohi- bited goods, which would there be perfectly safe undir the proper management of that establishment.

Mr. Luke Hansard presided. Mr. Roper explained the objects the society had in view, and in formed the meeting that the needlewomen of the metro polis were still in a most deplorable condition. The registration office adopted by the society had proved useful, and the plan of becoming security for materials placed in the hands of poor but honest needlewomen had been attended with the most beneficial results. Several addresses were delivered, and some frightful cases of destitution were mentioned. Eventually, resolutions expressive of sympathy with the distressed needlewomen of London were passed ; and others pledging the meet ing to support the society.

DANGEROUS CONDITION OF A PUBLIC THOROUGH.. FARE.—Last evening an inquest was taken before Mr. William Baker, at the Five Bells, in Threecolt-street , Limehouse, on the body of James Webb, a smith. It appeared that the deceased was in the employ of Messrs. Blythe and Co., engineers, in Fore-street, Limehouse. On Tuesday afternoon he went down a passage, leading to the river, adjoining the premises of the David and Harp public-hcuse, Fore street, and by some accident fell into the river and was drowned. Mr. William Dane, the landlord of the David and Harp, stated that the pas sage adjoining his premises was in a most dangerous condition, and accidents of a similar description were occurring daily. The passage was formerly a plying place fir watermen. There was no barrier to prevent persons from entering the passage, and any person un acquainted with the locality would inevitably be drowned. The coroner said it was lamentable to hear of such cases, and he would write to the surveyor of the highways, and he had no doubt but that the evil would be rectified. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death." DEATH OF CANGS RIEGO.—Died yesterday, sud denly, at his residence, 57, Seymour-street, the Canon Riego, brother of the celebrated and ill-fated General Riego. The Canon Rieg t having lived for many years in this country, was known to a considerable circle, by whom he was much respected and beloved. His literary attainments were varied and extensive. and he possesed in an eminent degree the fine qualities of the Sp an i s h character, combined with a rare and captivating sim plicity, and a generous enthusiasm, which in advanced years lost nothing of its youthful freshness. His death, which is supposed to have been caused by dtSease of the heart, will be deeply regretted. " 102 s Da NOVEMBER 28, 1846. IRELAND. STATE OF THE COUNTRY. ARMING OF THE PEASANTRY. DUBLIN, Nov. 26.--The most alarming statements are still published as to the open trade in fire-arms, especially in the counties of Tipperary and Limerick. The Liberal journal in Clonmel, the Tipperary Free Press, gives the' following account of the sapid increase of traffic in that town, which is the capital of the county : " There is more business doing in the trade' in guns, pistols, blunderbusses. powder and shot, than in any other in this town. The gunsmiths are kept going day and night repairing arms, and the vendors of arms find it difficult to supply the demand of their customers. Day and night reports of gun-shots are heard throughout the country—in some localities volleys are discharged, to the great terror of the peaceable inhabitants." The Limerick Chronicle says— " We gave early and frequent proof of the avidity of the L•ish peasantry to arm themselves, at any cost or hazard. The facilities are now free of all restriction, and the sale of fire-arms in this city, never so extensive, is almost exclusively availed of by that large class of people. For Ballycannane townland, twenty-nine guns were bought up in the last week. The Birmingham trade was never so flourishing." There are still many heartrending accounts of distress; especially in the western province. And whilst the landlords loudly remonstrate against public works, and take no effeotual steps to promote drainage, or other productive works, new presentment sessions "are de manded, to continue employment for the destitute la bourers. The only gratifying features in the provincial accounts are the increased supplieiand reduced prices of food, and the continued exertions of the relief committees. DISTURBANCES —OPPOSITION TO RENTS. The Irish Government have issued the following pro clamation : " Dublin Castle, Nov. 25, 1846. " Whereas it has been represented to the Lord-Lieu tenant, that about eight o'clock I , .nr. on the 22d instant, a party of about thirty men unknown, armed with guns and pistols, after visiting the houses of Michael Greene, Thomas Garahan, and John Keeran, and threatening them with death if they should pay rent, proceeded to the house of John Flood, farmer, and being refused ad mittance, discharged at him a gun loaded with slugs, which wounded him, and caused his death immediately— the above outrages took place on the townland of Ar dandra, parish of Aghara, and county of Longford. His Excellency, for the better apprehending and bringing to justice the perpetrators of these outrages, is pleased - hereby to offer a reward of one hundred pounds to any person or persons (except the person or persons who ac tually committed the same) who shall, within six months from the date hereof, give such information as shall lead to the apprehension and conviction of all, and propor tionably for one or more of the persons concerned therein.—By his Excellency's command, " H. LABOUCHERE." The Newry Telegraph says :—" On Sunday night, or Monday morning, a quantity of Indian corn meal was stolen from a lighter on the Newry Canal, at a place called the Madden Bridge. The robbers managed to carry away 15 sacks, containing two cwt. each." CI.oNiuEL, Nov. 25.—0 n Monday a carman convey ing a load of flour from this town to Killenaule, was stopped by an armed party of men between Clonmel and Fethard, who carried off four bags. A cask of butter was taken from a poor woman near Fethard by another party of marauders ; she was bring ing it to this market to sell ; she received a severe beat ing from the ruffians. KING'S COUNTY.—PARSONSTOWN, Nov. 25.—Satur day night last a notice was posted at Cough, calling upon the labouring population of the parish of Drum cullen to assemble at the four roads at the Pass on Mon day morning, to suggest means whereby the wants of the people would be relieved, consequently about fifty persons assembled, and proceeded to the residences of Daniel Molloy, Esq., J.P., Clonbela, and Thomas Mani fold, Esq., Raheenglass, to each of whom they stated their wants. Both gentlemen stated that every possible exertion was making to procure employment for them. Some of the party said " that unless they got employ ment they would take the fat from off the land." A good many labourers were yesterday employed in making a now line of road in that parish. MORE DEATHS FROM STARVATION IN SKIBBEREEN. —An inquest was to have been held on Monday last on the bodies of three men, whose deaths are attributed to starvation. The inquest was not held, the coroner being unable to attend from the accumulation of busi ness in the district in which he resides!—a fact that speaks volumes for the desperate condition of the people. On the examination of the bodies, after being exhumed, there was found no trace of food in the stomach or intes- tines. The greatest sensation pervades the locality.— Cork Examiner. BENEVOLENCE OF TUE SOCIETY OF FRIENDS.—This exemplary body, with that spirit of humanity which has ever characterised them, has entered into a subscription of 2,0001, in Dublin, to relieve the wants of the poor throughout this kingdom, and the same body in England have also subscribed 20,0001. for the like purpose.— King's County Chronicle.

We are enabled to state, on very high authority, that such was not the intention of his Excellency, and that he har expressed his intention of being present at the hunt ball, which will be held in Carrick-on-Suir, on Friday next. His Excellency will not return to Dublin until after the first week in December."

On Tuesday morning last, between five and six o'clock, an accident of a melancholy nature occurred in the "Coppall Pitt," the property of Mr. John Hargreaves, jun., of Bolton, wh ere b y e i g h t persons lost their lives. n Thursday afternoon an inquest was held at the Wheatsheaf Inn, Coppall, before Mr. It. Palmer, coroner, when the whole circumstances were thoroughly investi gated. Mr. J. Gaskell, solicitor, Bolton, appeared on behalf of Mr. Hargreaves, and offered every facility to the inquiry. From . the evidence adduced, it appeared that the rule at the colliery is, that the firemen (whose duty it ix to ascertain that there is no fire=damp in the places where the men hive to work) shall examine the mine before any of the men are allowed . to go to work. The practio, is, that the fireman shall examine each place with Davy lamp, and on finding it free from sulphur, he leaves a candle burning-, which is en indication to the collier that his place has been examined, and is lit fur him ti commence work. On Tuesday morning, between five and six o'clock, a number of the colliets and drawers had descended the pit, and were waitin4 for the report of the fireni,an to commence, when Thomas llalliwell imprudently went into his " steight" before it had been examined, and the fire-damp, with which the place was charged, coming in contact with the light of his candle, a terrific explo sion took place, by which the following persons lost their lives : Thomas Halliwell, aged 37, who has left a wife and four children.

And three or four others more or less injured. In reference to the employment of women in the mine, it appeared that it was without the knowledge and con trary to the instructions of Mr. Hargreaves. They were taken into the pit dressed as boys, and when the manager told Halliwell that he would have his drawer examined to ascertain whether it was his daughter or not, he said he would stick his pick into any one who would attempt to examine a drawer of his. Mr. Jackson, of Bolton, the surveyor, about three weeks before in formed Mr. Hargraves that he suspected from the voices of the drawers, that some of them were girls, and Mr. Hargreaves, indignant that his manager should so far transgress his instructions, went over to the pit, but was assured that Mr. Jackson had been mistaken. After hearing the evidence, the CORONER said, that so far as the evidence went it implicated no one con. cerned in the management of the mine. If any ono was to blame, it appeared to be the man Halliwell, who went into his place before it was examined, and who had lost his life in consequence. The jury returned a unanimous verdict of " Acci dental death." SPANISH BONDHOLDERS. The following letter has been received by the Com mittee of Spanish Bondholders in London from their delegate, Mr. Henderson. It will be understood that the civil expressions and promises of support to which it refers must be taken as mere matters of course : " Madrid, Nov. 18. " Sir,—Mr. Bulwer returned last night from Aran juez, and I had this morning my first interview with him, when he gave me the most unequivocal assurance of support, and proposed to present me to Senor Mon to-morrow. " I afterwards saw Count Bresson, and his promises of co-operation were most satisfactory and cordial. I feel certain that Mr. Bulwer and Count Bresson will mutually lend their best aid and assistance to procure a satisfactory settlement of the claims of the bond holders. They had both seen Senor Mon on the sub ject, who had expressed to them his wish to come to some settlement. • " I roman yours very truly, " JAMES HENDERSON. " Dempster Heming, Esq., Chairman of the Association of Spanish Bondholders." In connexion with the above it will prove satisfactory to the parties interested to learn that Mr. Henderson is not empowered, so far as we are acquainted with the nature of his instructions, to make any proposals to the Spanish Minister. It is affirmed that the only object of his mission is to procure some specific statement of the views of Senor Mon. These views can then be sub mitted to the bondholders, and it will be for them to deliberate on the course that should be adopted. Whatever may be the arrangements which the Spanish Government shall see fit to propose with regard to their foreign debt, it is to be hoped that no new device in the shape of a conversion will be in any way listened to by the bondholders. That plans of this (escription origi nate solely as a cloak to fraui, is a fact which should have been sufficiently impressed on the minds of English capitalists by the experience of the last twenty years. but recent events have shown that the lesson has not yet been learned. The evil arises from not recognising the difference between a debt due from an individual and a debt due from a sovereign state. In the case of an individual it is often prudent to agree to a conversion— to take, for instance, new bills for long , dates and low interest for a part of the claim, and to give a discharge for the remainder ; but the reason which would warrant the step in this instance would be wholly wanting if an independent Government were the debtor. The indivi dual might require the conversion as a matter of pro tection, not only for himself but for his creditors, in order that, after they had agreed to certain propositions, it should not be in the power of any one of them, who might be actuated by caprice or selfishness, to cripple his exertions, and to break up the whole arrangement by commencing a suit for the original amount. But when a Government is the debtor, the position of things is entirely different. The creditor has no power whatever, and all that he can do is to take what may be conceded to him. There can be no good cause, therefore, to ask him to surrender the proof of his full claim, and to accept a diminished bond in sub stitution. Whether the Government choose that his claim shall be, active, or passive, or deferred, he is en tirely at their mercy, and when they wipe off 50 per cent. of his principal, or pay him only half his dividend, - • i they can require no protection against any steps on his part. The substitution of new forms must, therefore, be intended to answer solely some private purpose of their own, such purpose being simply to confuse the matter as much as possible, and to obliterate from history the evi dences of their delir quency. It must also be observed that the contrivance of pledg ing certain portions. of the national revenues as an in ducement to creditors to wipe off a portion of their claims, on the ground of better security for the remainder, is no less a delusion. The state must at all times possess the control of the securities thus assigned, and it can sus tain no further disgrace in breaking this assignment than in breaking its original bond, for the payment of which , all its revenues are in honour alike liable. In no instance, therefore, can anything be gained to the creditors by these proceedings, while in those frequent cases in which the scheme is coupled with some contrivance by which a further contribution is exacted, the result is not merely that they fritter away their claims without a considera tion, but that they actually incur deeper loss. In some instances, also, another evil is produced. The simple original debt having been converted into a variety of shapes, such as " active," " deferred," &c., the various portions afterwards change hands in the market, until at length the holders of each begin to regard themselves as possessing co,nfficting interests, and the energies which should be devoted to a vigorous assertion of their joint claims are wasted in constant bickerings with one another. Hence it will be seen that a dishonest state has reasons in every way to promote these proceedings, and it would be marvellous that any person of the com monest business sagacity should be found to fall into them, were it not that they are usually carried out by firms of high standing, whose nomes appear to afford a sanction for the soundness of the plans. Conversions would seldom prove practicable if it were always borne in mind that the houses in question act only as agents, and that the prospect of a large commission i s su ffi c i en t to account for their exercise of zeal.— Times. GLOUCESTERSHIRE AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION. —GLOUCESTER, FRIDAY.—The fourteenth annual meet ing of this association was held yesterday. The exhi bition of live stock was very inferior as compared with that of former years. In the even em i n b g oefr t s h n e foo a br n e n trh u t e a ß l wi d ae i gs n td n e or e nn r tookH aHall, place, E s(l .under, M.P., o n t e h e of the presidencyth e division of the county, at the King's Head Hotel. The speeches were unusually dull and uninteresting, and did not present a feature worthy of notice. Draining, the present debased state of the agricul tural labourer, and leases, were the only topics touched upon. Some parties were inclined to believe that Mr. Grantley Berkeley would attend ; indeed, a good deal of fun was expected at the Honourable Gentleman's expense. Not one member, however, of the house of Berkeley was present, and Earl Pucie, the principal prop of the association, was, through indispo sition, absent. The health of the latter gentleman was, however, received heartily. At the close of the meeting, Mr, Clifford, of Frampton, near Gloucester, alluded to the subject of leases. Some of his opinions were com batted, and there appeared an evident desire on the part of several tenant farmers to speak in opposition to his views. The chairman, however, together with the lead ing members present, who thought, we suppose, discre tion the better part of valour, vacated the chair while a voung farmer at the bottom of the table was attempting to address the chair. The party separated at eight o'clock. HER MAJESTY'S BUCK-HOUNDS.—THE YALE OF AYLESBURY. —The meet of the Royal stag-hounds, on Wednesday, took place on the farm of Mr. It. Marks, at Denham Hill, near Quainton, the celebrated deer, Favorite, having been selected for the morning's sport. After a short run under the hill, in taking a double railed fence, near the church, the deer fell and dislo cated its shoulder. The hounds were then taken back for Aylesbury, and a second deer (Strideaway), upon being uncarted near the town, took away in beautiful style towards Whitechurch on to Stukely, and was taken near Littlecoat, after a splendid run of an hour and ten minutes. THE LATE BREVET. Major-Generals Sir F. Stovin, Napier (Adjutant- General at Dublin), Bainbrigge ( Quartermaster General at Dublin), will be appointed to command districts. Major-General Brotherton, from York, to be inspector of Cavalry in Ireland. Major-General Lord Fitzclarence to command at Portsmouth ; Major General Pitt at York. Colonel Cochrane to be Adjutant-General, and Colonel Arbuthnot (late 90th) to be Quartermaster-General at Dublin. Colonel Simpson, 29th, to command at Chatham. Major-General Duffy to command at Jersey. Lieutenant-Colonel Forster, assistant Adjutant-Gene ral at Dublin to the Horse Guards. Immediately after Lieutenant-Colonel Blachley having been appointed to take charge of the Royal Artillery in this district, he applied to retire on full pay, having ser,ved 42 years. Lieutenant-Colonel Rouis is, therefore, appointed, and will take up the command from Colonel Cator here.—Limerick Chronicle. It is generally understood that a preliminary repor on the estate and accounts of Messrs. Harman and Co. has been prepared and submitted to the inspectors ap pointed at the first meeting of creditors, and that a copy has been forwarded to the Russian Government. It is to be regretted that the contents of the document are not allowed to transpire, since the circumstances under which the failure took place have been, and still continue to be, a legitimate subject of discussion, not only in England, but throughout Europe. If the report is of a nature to place the conduct of the firm in a more favourable light than that in which it is now regarded, it is due to Messrs. Harman that it should be put forth without a day's delay ; while if, on the other hand, it is such as to con firm the worst opinions, there should be no motive to I screen the parties by suppressing its publication. We may add that it is believed that if the estate can be wound up under inspection , it ma y y ield 3s. in the pound, but that under bankruptcy not more than 2s. can be ex pected. — Times. ENORMOUS GLUTTONY. --A few days ago, in the townland of Ballybrannon, near Armagh , . and through which the Armagh branch of railroad is in course of making, the workmen, in consequence of the severity of the day, were oblige d to q uit working. It was, there fore, thought to he . a favouridile opportucity to put to the test the gormandizing faculties ?f' Hugh Hagari Magrann, one of the back's men on the line. Magrann p ro p ose d that he should eat six fourpenny loaves, and three pounds of unusually fat bacon, together with drinking the entire produce of three ounces and a half of ss. 4d. t ea . Th e h ou se of Mr. Kennedy was appointed for the completion of the horrible and beastly undertaking. There were 10/. a side bet by the workmen. The materials were prepared, to work goes Magrann, and before he w as fully satisfied, an additional eightpenny loaf was obliged to be procured, and a pound and a half of bacon, all of which, with the greatest apparent facility, he devoured. M r s. Kennedy announced, that not only was all eaten by the gormandizer, but that he even cleared off the crumbs of the bread, and in her opinion was capable of doing more execution. There were upwards of 3,000 specta tors.—Dublin paper.

SD JAMES'S THEATRE. M. Perlet, although still suffering from indisposition, made his deln"it for the season at this theatre last evening. Placards, bespeaking the consideration of the audience for M. Perlet, in consequence of his still suffering from the effects of his late severe illness, were posted in the lobbies of the theatre, but this consideration was not needed, for never did Perlet act better. The character which he chose was that of St. Jullien, in Scribe's vaudeville, L'Hommc de 60 Ans; Ou, La Petite Entetee. St. Jullien is an old country gentleman, sixty years of age, a bachelor, who has been brought to Paris by Bernard (M. Dumery), a rich mer chant, to marry his niece Angelina (Mademoiselle Celine Vallee), a lovely young girl, but entetee. She loves Eugene (Monsieur Berou), and, albeit, she never tells her love in words, yet she does not let her affections " like a worm i' the bud, feed. on her damask cheek," on the contrary, she teases poor Eugene nearly out of his life, and shows 'her love by the rule of contraries. St. Jullien arrives, and, like a sensible man, at once sees that it is impos sible Angelina can love him, and .determines to make her happy in spite of herself. He requests an interview with her alone. During the interview a letter is brought to him. He has forgotten his spectacles, and not being able to decypher it, requests Ange lina to read it to him. It is from Eugene, warning him against Angelina, who is so entetee that it is utterly impossible to expect happiness from a union with her. She is outrageous on reading this letter, and at once declares her preference for St. Jullien, and haughtily rejects Eugene, who subsequently enters, without condescending to hear what he has to urge in his defence. The notary is ready with the marriage contract ; he fills it up with the names. St. Jullien de scribes himself as 60 years of age, and an of icier invalide drawing the attention of Angelina, particularly to the last word—" She will never sign it, says St. Jullien. The jeune entelee, however, does sign it, and Eugene rushes from the room in despair. St. Jullien then signs, but the instant he has affixed his signature the jeune entelee awakes to the horror of her situation. Nature m o overcomes seizes es the coquetry,c contract, tears e te f a a r i s n t uSp unites a J tn u hd l Jullien o n usve i h m re i after Eugene, brings him back, and The acting of Perlet in this character was perfect; so perfect that criticism is at fault. Never has the character of the kind-hearted, polished old gentleman of the vielle tour, as distinguished from the ordinary stage run of kind-hearted old men, been more exquisitely delineated. He was the very pink of politeness ; yet politeness was not with him, as it is in too many cases, " the be all and the end all," freezing the kinder feelings of the heart, and reducing everything to a smooth surface, polished but cold, like a sheet of ice. Politeness is with him the rich fringe to the warm garment—the chaste setting of the priceless jewel—heart ; which shone all the more resplendently for the manner in which it was set off — not cabined in and confined by the setting.
