When we made our brief o b se rvations on the revenue on Monday, we were under the impression that the b u lk o f th e cor n imported last year was not entered till aft e r the close of the quarter ending in October. On looking back, however, to public d ocumen t s w hi c h we cou ld not then lay our h an d s on, we h ave ascerta i ne d f r om the Parliamentary paper, No. 383, ordered to be printed on June 7, 1841, that the duty paid in July, 1840, on wheat and wheat-flour was 4,976/. ;in August, 0'2,140/.; in September, 228,129/. ; and in October, 1 1,V39/., making a total of 307,184/. A small portion of this, but not above 16,000/., might have been paid in the summer and winter quarters, but we are disposed to believe that it was all paid between the sth July and the 10th of October. Now, we are not accurately in formed of the amount of duty paid on foreign corn during the late quarter, and we will not imitate our Contemporaries by indulging in con jectures when we shall no doubt scon be fur nished by some of our Ministerial Contempora rieiNthh an accurate account. We know, how-, Or'er, that the bulk of the. importations. Via_ the autumn quarter last year paid au average, at* of 3s. 11d.5 and we also know that tte.-1,)A.0t sli "11- *r at • , " . - rwr4l.7 ~"~ . THE SUN, LONDON i :WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 13. 1841._ the importations in the month of Septem ber just passed took place at the low duty of Is. and 2s. Bd. We are induced, therefore, to agree with our Tory Con temporaries, and acknowledge that the duty paid on foreign corn in the quarter just passed did not equal the amount of duty paid on foreign corn in the corresponding quarter last year. We are willing, also, to recognize, in the increase of the Customs for the quarterjust ended, a slight improvement in our trade; and willing to hope that the diabolical Corn-laws have not yet wholly crushed the natural energies of the people. We derive from this circumstance the consolatory belief that it is not to• late, much and grievously as the subject has been ne glected, to restore prosperity to the nation, by doing justice to the people. The Times of yesterday properly observes, that the constant growth of population will na turally occasion a continual advance in the pro duce of fixed imposts. That Journal recognises in that passage a natural source, independent of all legislation, for the continual increase of na tional wealth. In fact„ that is the main, if not the sole, source of increased wealth, and the character of almost every enactment may be determined by ascertaining its influence ou the growth of population. If we could possibly sup pose that the Corn-laws promoted health and prevented mortality, as is now said—if we could believe that to lay restrictions on trade was the way to promote national wealth, the Corn-laws would find no warmer advocates than we should be. We are disposed to test every enactment by its influence on the growth of population ; and that the Corn-law curtails the supply of food, makes it much smaller than it otherwise would be, and so limits the increase of popula tion—causing all the deplorable evils, all the vice and crime, which are the known and invari able consequences of arresting the progress of population—is undeniable. Now that the Times is sensible that the source of national greatness is the natural spring of population, we may expect that it should unite with us in endeavouring to procure the abolition of an enactment which im pedes the supply of food, and exposes our popu lation to dearth and pestilence. The statement of the Times is of importance, as acknowledging a natural, as contradistin guished from a legislative, source of national prosperity, which ought never, for one moment, to be lost sight of in forming our opinions of any system of Government. If the population increases at the rate of two per cent. every year, which is not equal to its actual increase in the period immediately prior to 1837, the revenue should increase at least in an equal ratio. Sup pose it was 50,000,0001. in 1820, and no taxes had been abolished, it ought, in 1840, to have been 70,000,0001. In fact, it ought to have been greater, because ingenuity and skill increase with population, and wealth naturally augments in a compound ratio. There can be no manner of doubt, with our improved machinery, that the 24,000,000 people who now inhabit our empire produce consider ably beyond a third more than the 16,000,000 produced in 1820. Thus the wealth of the na tion and the produce of the revenue should in crease even faster than the increase of popula tion, were no causes at work to deteriorate the condition of the people, and force them to a worse and worse kind of subsistence as they in crease in numbers. They acquire thereby a habit of deference to 1 others, and of respect for their wishes, that becomes the habit of their society, and is the essence of civilization. The desire to serve implies depend ence of some kind or other, and the principle of universal benevolence in trade is synonymous with the mutual and universal dependence of all the traders. The savage is an isolated and self-dependent man, and the acme of civilisation is to reduce all, without exception, within the circle of mutual and universal dependence. Such a description of the desires, exertions, and principles of traders, is calculated to excite our wonder, that they have not been more successful in promoting civilization; but our wonder ceases when we trace in all the countries of Europe the hand of Government dili gently at work to counteract and impede the operation of the benevolent desires of traders. Trade is considered in many States as ignoble. That national tariffs, by interrupting national intercourse, impede the extension of commerce, and prevent the mutual dependence and mutual interests of nations from extinguishing fierce political rivalry and political enmity, is well known; and it must now be equally apparent that laws interfering with the home trade, to enrich one class at the expense of others, put rivalry and enmity between those whom trade makes mutually dependent and mutually friendly. Naturally, for example, no classes are more mutually dependent one on the other than manufacturers and agriculturists, but the Corn-law has put strife between them, and almost made them regard each other as the worst of enemies. The Legis lature which impedes trade and builds palaces, as the Tories recommend—which narrows in terchange and communication, and pays artists and buys pictures—which our landlords prac tise, in order to promote civilization—acts as un wisely as the parent who should instruct his children how to adorn their persons, set them an immoral example, and forbid them to learn any honest business. The true way to promote civi lization is to give full swing to that desire to benefit others—to minister to their ease and comfort, which is common to all trades, and which is plainly set forth in Mr. PENDRELL'S advertisement, as the motives for his ingenious exertions. A few days ago Mr. ARNOLD, the 'Revising- Barrister for Westminster, decided, on good con stitutional grounds, that Peers had not a right to vote for Members of the House of Commons, and he struck Lord DINORBEN, and other Peers, off the register for Westminster. The day be fore yesterday Mr. COVENTRY, the Revising- Barrister for Marylebone, took an opposite view, and as there is, he said, no law to prevent Peers voting at elections, but only a resolution of the House of Commons, he decided that Lord BRIDPORT, and fourteen other Peers, who live in Marylebone, should be placed on the register. Such is the certainty and precision of that rule by which we are required to guide our conduct, and which Barristers and Judges, while they call it law, make out of their own heads. Practically we apprehend Mr. COVENTRY'S decision will be set aside in case of a disputed election. The Commons, in virtue of their own resolution, that Peers shall not interfere with elections, would strike off every vote given by a Peer, and as they alone are the judges in all election matters, they would, in fact, give their resolution the paramount authority of law. The Learned Barrister is technically correct in saying that a resolution of the House of Commons is not the law of the land ; but, practically he is in correct, for the resolution will have the authority of law, and whenever the votes of the Peers shall come in question before a Committee of the House they will be expunged. In testing any legislative enactment, therefore, like the Corn-laws, it is not enough that its ad vocates can show no positive decrease in the na tional prosperity; they ought to be able to de monstrate that it has not checked the natural in crease of people, that it has not deteriorated their condition, and that the wealth of the country and the revenue of the State have augmented in a compound ratio. The natural and healthy condi tion of society is rapid increase or great prospe rity; and where we find it replete with want, po verty, misery, and crime, those are impious as well as Ignorant, who, to exonerate the rash and rapacious lawgiver, ascribe the national suffer ings to causes which he cannot control. He as sutnes the power to regulate society, and be thereby makes himself fearfully responsible for all the sufferings of the people. We are indebted to the Morning Post for the subjoined late and interesting news from China. Our Contemporary supposes that it was omitted in the parcel sent from Marseilles. This is not improbable, seeing that the intelligence it bring s only reached Bombay on the Ist of September, after the Mails describing the capitulation of Can ton, and its evacuation by the British troops, were made up. We may further observe, that as this news is not of an exciting character, The advertisement department of a newspaper it is reasonable to suppose that very little regard is not usually consulted to supply matter for a was paid to it at Bombay, in the midst of the leading article. On casting our eye, however, excitement occasioned by the transmission of over our first page yesterday, we found an ad- more stirring accounts from China. It represents vertisement headed, " PENDRELL'S Patent exactly such a state of thingsas Captain ELLIOT'S Flexible Pen-holder," which immediately inter- imbecility had fully prepared us for. This misera ested us, because we have felt occasionally in- ble Plenipotentary, by his petty manceuvres, is convenienced from holding the inflexible stick on teaching the Chinese the art of British warfare, which steel pens are fixed. The advertisement so that by the time the next expedition arrives goes on, "to ensure ease and comfort in the use of before Canton it will have to encounter, in addi steel pens, now in such general use, W.

For the authenticity of the sub holder possessing four great requisites—cheap- joined intelligence the Post is responsible. We ness, durability, neat and elegant appearance, may, however, add, that we entertain no doubts and flexibility." We need not, however, repeat upon the subject : the advertisement, giving Mr. PENDRELL double Bomnar, SEPT. 2.—The non-arrival of the Calcutta publicity for his single payment, for our purpose mail, and consequent detention of the steamer for another is answered when we have placed Mr. PENDRELL f d r a cin -, e c n h a i b n le a, s b m r o e u t o o h t a p b p , ei t i h d e C te a n stl d e ayis i ' ul l i a tl t e er ii l i % te h l i l c i fi e nacre before the public as the repr esen t at i ve o f a c l ass, rived here yesterday afternoon, from Mac!) , the 29th of which is very numerous, and most skilful, and of June.

A letter from Macao says—" We are teaching the Chinese the art of war ; their improvement in gunnery was matter of astonishment to all." Of the insurrection in Spain there is but little additional information in the Paris Journals of Sunday. There was a report that the Govern ment had received a telegraphic despatch, stat ing that General O'DONNELL had bombarded tha town of Pampeluna from the citadel, and so compelled it to surrender. Had the French Government received such a despatch we do not think that it would keep it a secret. There were also reports that the garrison of Santona, and the cavalry at San Sebastian, had declared for Queen CHRISTINA, but other accounts represent them as unfounded. As we have given elsewhere all the accounts which have been received of %the insurrection in Spain, we have only here to refer the readers of The Sun to them. Of .their importance we can yet form no decided opinion. The following news has been received from the fron tiers of Spain :—" Yesterday (Wednesday)," says the Sentinele des Pyrennees "at two o'clock in the afternoon, the Spanish mail, which usually arrives at Bayonne at six o'clock in the morning, had not yet appeared, whence it may be supposed that it has been stopped by the in surgents. "A report is this moment circulated that Espartero has been stabbed. We are the more inclined to believe this report to be false, because we have just received by an extraordinary conveyance a letter from Madrid, dated October 3, which brings us no news, and even states that the Capital of Spain was perfectly tranquil " On the 3d Bilbao declared for the Christina move ment. Don Jose Ruete has brought this news to Bayonne, whence he proceeds to Paris." —La Gazette de France. Corn-law, we repudiate it as the merest cant. Those majorities are self-interested ones. They support mono poly only because monopoly supports them, and deserve no more " deference" than is manifested in speaking the strict truth of them. _ _ The Moniteur Parisien affirms that the conference on the subject of a Commercial Treaty between France and Belgium will be resumed as soon as the Belgian Commissioners have received from the Government the new instructions for which they have applied. The King of the Belgians is expected at Paris at the end of this month, at the latest in the beginning of November. DEATH OF SIR JOIIN BAYLEY.—We announce with regret the death of this venerable, upright, and able lawyer. We have not learned the particulars or time of his death ; but unfortunately. there can be no doubt of the melancholy event, as the City Registration Court, where his son presides, was adjourned on Monday on this account till Tuesday. He was born in 1763, was made one of the Judges of the Court of King's Bench in 1808, and subsequently removed to the Court of Ex chequer. He is succeeded in the title by his son, John Edward George, one of the Revising Bar risters.—[Since the preceding account was pub lished we have ascertained that this respected Judge died at an early hour on Sunday morning, at his residence,Vine House, Seven Oaks, Kent.) SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Public Opinton. " Who runs may read." The Chronicle says, in reference to the present agita tion on the Corn-laws—" The great question of commer cial reform, and especially that important portion of it which relates to the Corn-laws, has taken a deep and permanent hold of the public mind. To fancy that the agitation will subside is the supposition of a fond or foolish brain. It cannot subside. The causes which produced it are in full operation, and no temporary re vival of trade can abate their influence, though it may slightly modify their effects. No statesman can afford to despise that agitation. If he did, it would only prove that he was utterly undeserving the character which he assumed, though, at the same time, it must be admitted that the character of a states man is one more frequently assumed than sustained." — If, as our Contemporary asserts, it be a proof of indif ferent statesmanship to treat popular agitation with con tempt, then the present Ministers must be the veriest noodles imaginable. Not only do they treat the clamours of the starving thousands with contempt, but they act just as if there were no clamour at all among the people ! To all but their own pleasures they resolutely turn a deaf ear. Backed by an unscrupulous majority, they are determined to let things take their own course. Next February will be quite time enough to consider the distresses of the country ; till then, people must wait. Such is the language of Ministers, which, we suspect, they will not alter, till enlightened by blazing hay-stacks, and the fierce and ominous desperation of the half= frenzied thousands in the manufacturing districts. We quote the following from the Herald :—" The capture and sale of Canton must have confirmed the Chinese in their estimate of the British character—that we are nothing better than pirates and banditti, needy and greedy barbarians, mak ing war and slaughtering for the sake of ransom and booty ; and regardless of every interest but that of our treasury chest. To Europe these occurrences exhi bit a renewal of the warlike customs of the middle ages, and revive a practice which was thought to have been banished from civilisation when the buccaneers were driven from the Spanish Main. The attack on Canton, ending in this sale, has evidently been altogether thrown away on the Chinese and it is clear that a true account of the occurrence will never reach Pekin. The local authorities at Canton had indeed scarcely got rid of the expedition when they began to repair their forts and prepare for another struggle : and they had at once wholly misrepresented the nature of the attack to the Emperor. The report sent to Pekin by the Emperor's nephew, Yih Shan, is in this respect an important do cument." FOREIGN. The Paris Journals of Sunday continue to accuse the French Government of having fomented the insurrection in the north of Spain. " The part acted by the French Cabinet," says the Commerce of Sunday, "is one of the grossest falsehood and immorality. As long as the con spiracy was beinG , carried on in the dark, and uncertain of success, the French Ministry protested its innocence ; but now it throws off the mask, seeing that the insur rection has strength and hope. Thus does it loosen every principle of order and of justice. For ten years the Government has been declaiming against conspira cies, and it takes a part in a conspiracy. For ten years it proclaimed the legitimacy of Governments de facto, sanctioned by the will of the nation, and now it brands them with the name of usurpation. It talks of a general disarmament, and now is forced by its line of policy to assemble an army on our southern frontier. The Budget presents a deficit ; the Government increases our charges ; our commerce is in want of markets ; our in tercourse with the Peninsula is on the eve of being stopped. And for what end, in what view, is our Ministry guilty of such glaring contradictions, such gross errors ? To place a temporary power into hands that knew not how to wield it when they were once in possession, and who can only hope to regain it by foreign influence." The Quotidienne, a Carlist paper, says—" The Bourse has been in agitation for the last few days, caused by the news from Spain. It was affirmed that the Ministry had received from the Spanish Regency notes of no pacific nature. It was added that, in consequence of these notes, orders had been forwarded for the assembling of troops on the frontiers of the Pyrenees, after the holding of an extraordinary. Council of Ministers. This news caused a fall in our Funds of about 20 cents. The Spanish Funds fell considerably, and closed much lower than on Friday." The Temps affirms that recruits are enlisting at Chail lot and at Passy, near Paris, for Queen Christina, who is expected to leave the capital in a few days for the Spanish frontier. The Constitutionnei has the following curious para graph ;—lmmediately on the receipt of the intelligence of the rising at Pampeluna, M. Olozaga, the Spanish Mi nister, waited on M. Guizot, to ascertain from him what course the French Government intended to pursue. M. Guizot is said to have assured him that France was totally foreign to the revolt, and recognized no other Government than that existing in Madrid. "As a Mi nister," replied M. Olozaga, "I must regard this declara tion as sincere ; but, as a man, I disbelieve it." M. Olozaga immediately sent off despatches to London, for the purpose, we suppose, of informing the British Go vernment of what had taken place. The news of the occupation of the citadel of Pampe lune by General O'Donnell reached Madrid on the 3d inst. The Regent at once appointed General Chacon to supersede General Ribeiro in the command of the troops in Pampeluna. This is rather ungracious, considering that Ribeiro remained firm in his allegiance to the es tablished Government. From all the accounts yet received from Spain the in surrectionary movement appears to be in a great mea sure a military one. There have been no manifestations of enthusiasm on the part of the populace, and a great deal of wavering was observable on the part of the troops which have already joined O'Donnell. The Carlist officers who signed the Convention of Bergara, and so for ever separated themselves from 1)on Carlos without obtaining the confidence of the Liberal party and the Cortes, are the chief malcontents. Senor Sancho, Deputy for Valencia, has been appointed by Espartero Ambassador to the Court of London. The Christinos had planned a rising at Madrid simul taneously with the revolt at Pampeluna. The conspiracy was timely discovered by the Regent, who took the pro per steps to crush it, in which he effectually succeeded. The garrisons and citizens of Saragossa and Logrono have declared in favour of Espartero and the existing Government. There is a bad feeling growing up between France and the United States. The tariff adopted by the Pre sident. which imposes an additional duty of 20 per cant. on foreign goods, is regarded by France as an attempt to ruin her trade. "The President of the United, States," threateningly writes the Ministerial Messa ger of Sunday, " has sanctioned the new tariff, which im poses a duty of 20 per cent. upon articles of luxury hitherto exempt from duty, or subject to a very low rate. Under these circumstances the Government has to take some measures which are now the subject of its most serious attention. The question is to find some means calculated to make the American Government repent of its harsh commercial measures, without adding to the injury which those measures may do to French manufacturers. It is affirmed that, as a preliminary step, a declaration will be made to the American Government that the Treaty of 1831 is to cease. After this France will consult her dignity and her honour." This is a very pugnacious - way of settling commercial questions between Christian States. Does Monsieur Frog intend to treat brother Jonathan as John Bull does Juhn China man ?? Alluding to the present quarter's financial return, the Times says:—" It is the first under a Conservative Go vernment.; and it is a favourable one. It affords ground for hope that the tide of disquietude and dis trust has ceased to flow, and that confidence is about to return. That is the chief thing wanting. Nothing can be so injurious to the commercial and manu facturing interests as perpetual alarms and constant ru mours of change and contention. The first desideratum, so far as they are concerned, is tranquillity ; the second, a sufficient, and not fluctuating, currency."— The absurdity of the quarter's revenue being favour able because "it is the first under a Conservative Go vernment " is too obvious to escape notice. Equally absurd is our Contemporary's recommendation to the people to keep quiet, as if they would ever be otherwise than quiet, when they had no serious grievances to com plain of ! But to keep quiet, seems to be the Times' panacea for all sorts of distresses. " That is the chief thing wanted,* he says. Doubtless it is so by a Tory Government ; but will keeping quiet fill the bellies of the starving operatives ? Will it procure the repeal of the Corn-laws, and shake off the chains that bind the limbs of commerce ? Not a bit of it. To keep quiet under distresses, is to show indifference to those dis tresses ; and thereby to furnish the Legislature with the strongest of all possible reasons for doing nothing. PUBLIC OPINION. The Morning Post has the following remarks on the Corn-law question, and the way in which it should be discussed ;—" The real quality of the Corn-law is mat ter of controversy. Large majorities in both Hou s e s of Parliament d eem it to be a most salut ar y law, bene ficial to the l an d owners certainly, but absolutely essen tial to the w e ll-b e i ng o f the labouring classes. At all events it is the law, a nd while it continues to be so it ought to be spoken of in respectful language. They who are doubtful of the policy of the law are, of course, quite right to state the grounds of their doubt as em phatically as they can ; but they have no right to say that those who think differently are criminals, and worse than robbers and murderers. They who have made up their minds that the law is bad, should, at least, have some deference to the majorities of both Houses of Par liament who thick that the law is good. No one objects to their attempt to show that the law is bad, provided those attempts be made with decency and temperance ; but it is very gross effrontery to assume that their oppo nents are utterly wrong, having, as they certainly have, the law on their side—This is sheer twaddle. Many measures have been wrong—" utterly wrong," notwith standing that they had " law on their side." The Test and Corporation A c ts were wron g —wrung in spirit us in policy-737a. for years they had " law on their side." The sunie m ay be said of the Ca tholic Penal Code, which fur many long years was the law of the land. The boroughmongering system. too, was wrong —rand to a still more grievous extent—yet from the days of Sir Robert Walpole, and lung before, down to 1832, it had " law on its side." Law, also, was ranged on the side of the Gaggi ng Bile of Castlereagh ; yet the good sense and justice of t he community decided that all these various measures were wrong, and the Legislature was, in consequence, compelled to repeal them ! If the people generally had a share in making the laws, th e hypothesis would be correct that they were just ones ; but when we know that for ages they have been made by a party, and that the people have seldom or never been consulted on the subject, the odds are that they are nar row in spirit and erroneous in policy. As for our Con temporary's remark that " deference should be paid to the majorities of both Rouses" on the subject of the MONEY-TRADE-COMMERCE. The fair at Leipsic was increasing greatly on the 22d ult. 'I ravellers from the East were purchasing large quantities of silk goods and Bohemian glass. French goods met a ready sale, whilst English stuffs were bad in demand. The Russian merchants had brought vast quantities of tea from Moscow : the Dutch exhibited samples of Java tea, considered equal to the best China. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. The extraordinary symptoms of distrust exhibited in the Stock Exchange for the last day or two, begin to subside a little ; but as yet, we regret to say, no decided change for the better has occurred. The next advices from Madrid are looked for with uncommon anxiety, as they will show whether Espartero has adopted energetic measures, and intends to act in person against the insur gents. The Spaniards in the city are generally of opi nion that " France has done it all." Consols were 874 to 8 in the morning, but subse quently declined to 874 1, and closed at 871 to 4. For Account the range was from 874- 1 to 871 to 874. Money was again very scarce at 6to 7 and 8 per cent. Among the jobbers, and in the City generally, owing to the failures in the Russia, Portuguese, and other trades, it has been tighter to-day. Exchequer Bills were a shade lower to. day; viz., I Is. to 13s. premium ; and East India Bonds were at a decline to 2s. premium and 1 discount. Bank Stock was rather better ; viz., 1651 to 164 ; and India Stock remained dull at 245. The New Three and-a-half per Cents. brought 971 to 97 ; and the Three per Cent. Annuities, 864 to 861. Long Annuities were at 124. There was less animation, and with it also much less fluctuation, in the Foreign Market. No further news of importance came to hand from the Peninsular, although advices of the sth inst. from Madrid reached the City this afternoon. Spanish Active Bonds were at 184 to 184 ; Portuguese New Five per Cents. at 291 ; and the Three per Cents. at 181 ; Mexican Bonds were rather better, on the strength of the intimation that one-fifth, instead of one-sixth of the Customs' revenue of the Re public is to be appropriated to the payment of the divi dends on the English Loan. The bargains effected were at 24 to 244, and Brazilian fell from 58 to 55. Belgian Bonds were at 1024, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 501, to 504. Shares support their value. Brighton Railway to-day realised 91 to 9 ; Blackwaill 16 to 164 ; South Eastern 241 and Birmingham and Gloucester 451 discount. ; Great Western were 91 to 104 ; Birmingham 67 ; and South Western, 124 premium ; Union Bank of Lon don Shares were 1 discount. This afternoon the Foreign Exchanges were firm again. Bills at Three Months were negociated at 25f. 70c. to 75c. on Paris ; 13f. 104 c. to 11c. on Hamburgh ; 12f 34c. on Antwerp ; 12f. 44c. on Amsterdam ; 1494 f. to 4 on Frankfort ; and 9f. 54c. on Trieste. The following are the official returns of the exports of Bullion from the port of Loudon, for the week ending Thursday last :- Silver Coin to Rotterdam 77,1550z.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, OCT. 10.-The sales of Cotton to-day are 3,500 bales, 150 of which were taken by exporters. The Market p is firm, without any devia tion in the prices of Friday. LIVERPOOL SHIRE MARKET, OCT. 11.-A slight improvement has taken place in the Share Market.- London and Birmingham are 158 ; ditto, 32L Shares, 524 ; Midland Counties Shares, New, 184 ; North Union, 751. MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, OCT 11.-There has been but little business done in our market to-day we have, however, an inquiry for London and South West ern at 504 ; Great Western at. 104 prem. : Manchester and Birmingham at 214 ; also. North Midlands, Mid land Counties, and London and Birmingham Old and New 321. Shares. London and South Western Tenths (registered) have been sold at 2/. 12s. Late in the day yesterday, a slight check was given to the panic, in consequence of some of the influential brokers coming into the market to purchase, which in spired a little confidence, and a re-action took place, the market closii:g with a firmer appearance, Consols being last quoted at 81 1 for Money and Account, at which price they opened this morning, with little doing. In the Foreign Market Spanish Active Stock closed at 184 4, and opened this morning a shade better, the price being now 184 s ; Portuguese Five per Cents. are 291 30 ; Ditto, Threes, 174 184. Money in the Stock Exchange is as high as 6 to 8 per cent., but in the Discount Market good bills can be negotiated at 44 to 4. Accounts have just been received from Paris, bringing a telegraphic despatch from Madrid of the sth instant. Everything was then tranquil. Considerable energy was displayed by the Government, from which circumstance we are led to believe that the insurrection is not so formidable as was anticipated previous to the above intelligence. Spanish Active Stock had receded to 184 ; since which it has advanced to 184 ; Passive, 44 ; Portuguese Five per Cents., 291 ; Do. Three per Cents., 174 ; Mexican Bonds have im proved to 244 ; Brazilian fiat at 55 ; Dutch Two-and- a- Half per Cents., 50*. The English Market is not so good as at the opening. Consols are now 871 for Money and Account ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 864 4; Three-and-a-Half per Cents., 954 ; New Three-and-a-Half per Cents, 97 ; Bank Stock, 245 ; India Bonds, 2 prem. to 1 dis. The Share Market continues flat, with but little busi ness doing. Great Western 754 ; 1)o. New, 531 ; Lon don and Brighton, 401; South Western, 511.

A steamer is to leave the Broomielaw quay at seven o'clock this morning, filled with Chartists, to meet Feargus at Greenock, on his arrival there from Liverpool, and accompany him to Glasgow. A meeting ie to be held in the Green at one o'clock, and there is to be a soiree and ball in the evening. The great hall of the Bazaar has been engaged for the soiree, and there have been already two thousand five hundred tickets sold. The female Chartists are getting up a subscrip tion for a gold medal and a ring to O'Connor.—Glasgow Argus. Such has been the demand ever since August for the works to be executed for the numerous ships then put into commission at Chatham, that the workmen have been entirely withdrawn from all the ships on the slips. 41.GRICITZT'c/'R.AL. In Essex the remnants of the harvest produce ar,, still abroad. In Dengie hundred, there is as much as fifty acres of canary seed abroad, almost sure to be valueless. The clover seed is rotting on the ground, and there has scarcely been a fine day over the country for the last month. LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC. There will be five eclipses next year ; three of the sun and two of the moon: The eclipses of the sun will be visible on January 11 and 34:y Si the other invisible. The eclipse of the moon will be visible on January 26th, the other invisible. LAW AND POLICE. At the Chelmsford Quarter Sessions, which commenced yesterday, there were about 80 prisoners for trial. On Saturday Mr. Richard Thelwell, lately carrying on an extensive business as a jeweller and silversmith, at Manchester, and William Moobay, employed as the por ter, were examined before the Magistrates of that town, charged with abstracting from his warehouse (he being a bankrupt at the time) property to the amount of 9.0001. Mr. Thelwell was required to find two sureties in 1,0001. each, for his appearance next Saturday. The servant also was admitted to bail. Alvspectable looking man of the name of Forrester, desdribed as a chemist, in Islington, was charged with firing'a loaded pistol at constable No. 111 N division, on Saturday night. A man who was near the policeman narrrowly escaped with his life. The prisoner, who ap peared to be of unsound mind, was remanded. SPORTING. A person named Charles Thurlow commenced on the 10th of August, and completed on the 21st ult., at Nor wich, the task of walking 1,000 miles in 1,000 successive hours. In the sixth number of the Idler, Dr. Johnson gives an account of a lady who undertook to ride one horse 1,000 miles in 1,000 hours, which she executed in little more than two-thirds of the time. The heroine was conducted through the last mile with flowers and triumphal honours, and the Doctor proposed that an equestrian statue should be erected to her at her starting post, Newmarket, to " tell the grand-daughters of our grand-daughters, what an English maiden had per formed." ELECTIONEERING. A new election is likely to take place for the Borough of Downpatrick. The Irish Reform Act provides, that no election can be held in boroughs until four days after receipt of the writ, while it appears the election for Downpatrick took place on the third day. NAVAL AND MILITARY. The domestics of Sir Charles Bagot, with a large quantity of luggage, portable furniture, and other arti cles, were embarked on Monday on the Styx steamer, at Woolwich, when she started for Portsmouth. The new Governor-General and suite embarked yesterday for Canada. THEATRICAL. A new burletta, entitled Gocorico, was brought out last night at the Adelphi. It was tolerably successful. Miss Adelaide Kernble, previous to making her debut at Covent Garden Theatre in the present season, is at present at Frankfort, where she is busily pursuing her musical studies. COURT-FASHIONAnLE. We are happy to hear that her ,Majesty sufficiently improved in health on Monday afternoon to take a short carriage airing in the Great Park, accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, who drove her Majesty. It is expected that the Queen will prolong her stay ut the Castle till Monday next. The Duke of Sussex and the Duchess of Inverness have arrived at Mulgrave Castle, on a visit to the Mar quis and Marchioness of Normanby The Marquis of Waterford left town last week for Curraghmore, Ireland. The Earl of Lontdale is at Lowther Castle, enjoying excellent health. The Earl of Ripon left town on Monday for his seat, Nocton, Lincolnshire. Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston leave Carlton house-terrace, in a few days for Broadlands, Hants. Sir Robert Peel and family leave town next week for Drayton Manor. Lord Sydenham was a brother, and not a nephew, of Lady Taylor, the wife of Sir Charles Taylor, of Notty combe, the friend of Mr. Canning ; and was only con nected with the Noble Lord (Brougham) by the mar riage of his niece (Miss Taylor) with the brother of that Noble Lord. A bazaar for the sale of fancy work, under distin guished patronage, will be held at Exeter Hall on Tues day and Wednesday, next week, in aid of the subscrip tion for the poor inhabitants of Zante, who suffered by the destructive earthquake last year. MISCELLANEOUS. To-day is the anniversary of the death of Canova, the sculptor, at Rome. in 1822. Also the anniversary of the death of Murat, ex-King of Naples, who was shot in 1815 on the coast of Calabria. A contract has been entered into by the Charity Trustees of Bristol, to supply to the poor the quartern loaf, consisting of fuur pounds of good household bread, for the next six months, at 6d. On Thursday last, a lady named Johnson took her place in one of the train carriages from the Harrow station to London, having in her possession Bank-notes to the amount of a thousand pounds ! Wh e n she reached Broad-street, she found her reticule was want ing, and having made her mitt known, immediately pro ceeded to the Euston terminus in company with her brother, when, to her great joy, she found the money in the same position in which she had left it in the carriage. An American Paper remarks that there are 4,500 languages throughout the world, besides the language of the eyes. The heirs general of three Royal families of Plantagenet, Tudor, and Stuart, at this day, those of the Princess Henrietta Maria, daughter of King Charles 1., and D uc h ess . o f O r l ean s—viz., Fran Ferdinand, hereditary Prince of Modena, conjointly were his maternal aunts, the Duchess of Laces, au& the Em press of Austria ; and but for the Act of Settlement in troduced a safeguard against Popery, that , Prince, as eldest heir of the body of King Charles 1., would now have filled the Throne of these realms. The Bankers' Circular calculates that there is a suf ficient quantity of wheat in the country to last till Oc tober, 1842. The Times says :—" It is now, we believe, definitively settled that Lord Cowley will succeed Lord. Granville as her Majesty's representative at Paris, and that Sir R. Gordon will proceed in the same capacity to Vienna. The Embassy at the Court of St. Petersburgh has been offered to Lord Ye.Sey Fitzgerald, and in case of his.de dining to accept the appointment, the pest.will be ,tilled by Lord Stuart de Rothsay." The subject of the Ramsgate bathing exhibitions was brought under the notice of the Ramsgate Commissioners of Pavement on Tuesday last, when after a short con sultation, the subject was ordered to be referred to the Police Committee. _ _ The highest inhabited place upon the face of the globe is a farm-house situate 13,500 feet above the level of the sea, or about two miles and a half above that level. This lofty and elevated habitation is situate on a peak of the Andes, in South America, Chim borazo, which rises to 21,440 feet above the level of the sea. It may be truly said that the dwellers in this farm house are accustomed .to move in "high life." NEWSPAPER STAMP RETURNS.
