IRE THAM ES T U NNEL.—Th e Di rectors of the Company will hold their usual weekly meet i ng, i n Walbrook, this afternoon, at which a full report of the nature and extent of the aperture in the bed of th e river will he mad e by the Engineer, as well as the steps taken already to arrest the influx of water. Up to this morning none of the bodie s of the unfortunate sufferers had been picked up. It is not true that the body of EVANS had been brought to the surface of the water and then sunk in con se quence of the d rags not haying taken a good hold. The hole, upon furth er insp ec ti on , i s state d to b e muc h larger than n•fts at first supposed. This, however, pro bably arises from the action of the tide, which at each flow and ebb carries away a portio n of the ground in the vicinity of the aperture. The work ha s been carried about 12 feet beyond the centre of the river. The means adopted to fill up the former hole are in rapid progress, and no doubt is entertained that this object will be accomplished in a muc h shorter time than on the last occaBion. Plans from private individual s f or stopp i ng t h e h o l e are again sent in to the office, but n o t qu i te so numerously as in M ay l ast. It is thought an immediate meeting of the shareholders will be decided upon to-day.

INTENDED ROYAL MARRIAGE.—It seems that a marriage is intended between Prince WILLIAM of Prussia and Princess ELIZA RAnztwlLL, who is descended of one of the most ancient Prussian families, and of that of the JAGCLLONS (LADISLAUS V. surnamed JAGELLON, ascended the throne of Poland in 1386). This circum stance, added to the journey of the Prince to St. Peters burgh, gives rise to many conjectures. The Poles, in par ticular, consider this as a favourable presage.

(Flom a Second Edition of the Dublin Evening Pest of Saturday.) O ' DWYER IN THE CHAIR. Receipt of Catholic Rent for this week 851. ss. 3id. A number of letters were read from the Catholic Prelates and Clergy on the subject of the Simul taneous Meetings, which were universally approved of; of the appointment of Catholic Churchwardens, which is in extensive preg - ress, and of other matters connected with the Sub-letting Act, &c. Mr. O'CONNELL, in a speech of some length, considered the position in which this country would be placed by the rumoured change of Administration, a change which he was disposed to think of with the most gloomy apprehension, a feeling of dread for the condition of all classes in the country—Catholics, Protestants, and Dissenters. In speaking of the latter denomination of Christians, he stated that the Northern Whig (which he moved should be hence forth received by the Association) had converted him, and it was with great pleasure he changed his mind concerning the opinions lie hitherto held, respecting the illiberality of the Dissenters of the North. Mr. ',AMISS followed, and said ho could ' hardly trust the reports so prevalent of a purely Tory Ad ministration succeeding the last—with nothing to resist the vast talents of the Whigs, but the voice of the Agriculturists, and the mental powers of Sir T. Lethbridge. Mr. Slim., in a very eloquent speech, gave it as his opinion that if the Tory Administration were really formed, it could not support itself against the simultaneous voice of seven millions of Irish Catho lics, against the manufacturing and trading interest, and the moral strengths of their opponents. After the business of the Association was con cluded the Meeting adjourned. SPANISH BONDS. Yesterday a meeting of Spanish Bondholders took place at the City of London Tavern, in pursu ance of the following advertisement : It being the opinion of many of the holders of the bonds issued for the Government of Spain, under a loan nego tiated in 1823, by Sir John Win. Lubb,ick and Co., and James Campbell, Esq., and upon which there are now eight half-years' dividends of V. 13e. I d. each over due and unpaid, that an application should be made on behalf of the bondholders generally to those gentlemen, relative to the said dividends, and with reference to certain money re maining in their hands, the prodece of said bonds, a meet ing of bondholders will be held, with that view, and that only, at the City of London Tavern, &c. Mr. BLAINE being called to the chair, said he un derstood a gentleman was present who had a com munication to make to the meeting from Sir J. Lubbock and Mr. Campbell. Mr. GRIBBLE, the gentleman alluded to, said, that he had waited upon Sir J. W. Lubbock and Messrs. James Campbell, to ask whether they had any ob jection to afford information which might affect the interest of the holders of Spanish certificates issued in 1823. They stated, that they had not the slightest objection, and added, that much miscon ception appeered to be entertained as to the nature and origin of the transaction, which many supposed to have been a loan raised by the Court of Spain through them, and for which bonds had been issued. The fact, however, was otherwise, and they (Sir .T. W. Lubbock and Co., and Messrs. James Camp bell and Co.) acted as agents only, to carry into effect an arrangement made by the Spanish Govern ment, under the following circumstances : A misunderstandin g having arisen between the Government of Spain, and its agent in this country, bills of exchange and letters of credit issued by the Spanish Minister of Finance, to a considerable amount, were dishonoured ; and to provide for their liquidation, commissioners were sent from Spain to London, whose duty it was to investigate the claims; and when their amount was ascertained, and certain formalities had been complied with, according to in structions furnished by their Government, certifi cates were issued for the respective claims so ascer tained, and delivered to the different claimants in exchange for their bills or letters of credit; and it remained with those claimants to keep the certifi cates as giving them an interest in the public debt of Spain, or to sell them, as they might think proper. It was obvious, that for the purpose of suchinvesti gation, and the exchange of the one security for another, it would be necessary that some British agents should be employed by the commissioners, and they (Sir J. W. Lubbock and Co., and Messrs. James Campbell and Co.) were ap plied to, and became such agents; and of course they acted according to the authority given to them, and not upon any discretion of their own. The commissioners had only at their disposal the amount of two other inscriptions or parts of the public debt, upon which they were authorized to issue certifi cates to a corresponding amount, for the payment of interest (so far as they would extend) on the certi ficates given for the original claims, and for commis sion and charges incident thereon; and certificates were issued accordingly, the sale of which Sir J. W. Lubbock and Co., and Messrs. J. Campbell and Co., commenced, and were enabled to pay thereout the first half year's interest, and were making pre parations to realize the remainder towards the pay ment of the second (the Spanish commissioners being then in London), w h en th e transaction was suddenly interrupted by a document from Spain, which put an end to the functions of the commis sioners, and of course to those of the agents un der them. Messrs. Sir J. W. Lubbock and Co., and James Campbell, Esq., possessed to wards the payment of the second half year's in terest, subject to all the contingencies belong ing to the present state of the transaction, a sum of 13,050/. 1 ls. 2d., ;did' was invested in Ex chequer Bills on the 30th of April, 1824, and con tinued on the same security; and Messrs. Sir J. W. Lubbock and Co., and James Campbell and Co., would be glad that it should be disposed of for the benefit of those entitled to it, whenever a course can be devised which will free them from personal re sponsibility. They have already had to defend two Chancery suits, instituted by persons claiming to have demands upon the certificates passing through their hands,—the one was by the former agent of the Spanish Government, and ceased only by his death; the other was by a public officer of that Government, who is dead, and by whose representatives the pro ceedings may be revived. Mr. ROBERTSON expressed his satisfaction that the meeting had been called. He intended to submit a resolution, proposing that a deputation should wait upon Sir J. Lubbock and Mr. Campbell, to obtain from them all tke information possible respecting the loan. Mr. GRIBBIE was sure those gentlemen would willingly give any explanation in their power. Mr. ROBERTSON then moved the following re solutions : " 1. That it is the opinion of this meeting, that any money remaining in the hands of the negotiators of the bonds issued by the Government of Spain in 1823, can belong only to the bondholders, and should be applied to the payment of their dividends. it 2. That a deputation of bondholders be appointed to wait upon Sir J. Lubbock and Mr. Campbell, to solicit from them information respecting the loan." Mr. MERLE seconded the motion. After a desultory conversation of some length, the resolutions were agreed to, and the meeting separated. - The weather has, since our last, been very boisterous and wintry, the wind for four or five days blow ing a gale from S.E. to E.S.E., with strong frost and intense cold. On Thursday we had some snow, the w i n d coming to E. and veering round in the course of the night and yesterday to N. and N. W. to W. when the snow fell so as to cover the ground pretty thickly. In the interior shere has been for some days a considerable fall of snow, which, we learn, lies to the depth of several feet in some parts of the country, so that although the communication is generally open, some difficulty is experienced in parti cular situations. And to this cause is probably owing the scanty supply of meal in our market, yesterday, so as to oogasion a small advance of price. •:..ediberdeen Chronicle. THAMES TUNNEL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—In a letter which I addressed to you some time ago, on the subject of the leakage in the Thames Tunnel, I recommended a large piece of canvas (for the sake of expedition, a man-of-war's mainsail) to be spread over the hole, and covered with a thick layer of clay. This suggestion, I be lieve, was anticipated by Mr. Brunel ; but, if you will refer to your file, you will find that I also re commended that, as the work proceeded, a thick coating of canvas, (a double coating would be still better), covered with a layer of clay, should be con stantly spread over the place where the people were at work ; and if this advice had been acted upon, in all probability this disastrous calamity would not have happened. As the work, if it should ever be finished, is likely to be so extensively useful, and so much money has already been laid out upon it, it is a pity that it should be given up; and if it should be thought advisable to continue it, I beg leave to suggestaplan by which means it would be almost impossible for any lives to be lost hereafter. After the leakage is stopped, which may be done by filling the hole up with bags of clay, stones, and all sorts of rubbish, let a thick double coating of canvas, covered with clay, be spread all the way to the shore; and i n case this should not be sufficient to prevent the water from forcing its way into the Tunnel, there might be a sufficient number of flat-bottomed boats placed near the shield, with ropes reaching from the entrance attached to them, and then on the first alarm the workmen might get into them, and as the water floated them haul themselves out to the entrance by the ropes.

Slit,—ln justice to an artist of great merit and a highly respectable individual, I trust you will give place to a few short observations on what appears a rather unfair critique, in a Morning Paper of this day, on the performance of Signor Pellegrini on Sa turday last. The critic of the Times, admitting the correct- ness of Signor Pellegrini's musical science and taste, is pleased to draw a comparison betrreen him and Signor de Begnis, forgetting that " comparisons are odious," and that the character of the critic is de graded when it assumes the appearance of the par tizan. There are critics, Sir, very competent to exercise that calling, when broad farce, or the merits of the clown in a Christmas Pantomime, are the subjects, but who are wholly incapable of appreciating the chaste acting of Signor Pellegrimi in an Italian opera, and of whom it may he truly said, in the language of Cicero, " Damnant quod non intclliguut."

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.-JAx. 14. There was a good deal of business done to-day, as well in the shape of betting as i❑ settling the new Ministry— the latter dividing the attention of some of the leading speculators. As the betting, however, is the only subject pertaining to the Subscription-room, we shall confine cur selves to it. In the Derby most of the favourites retain the places they severally occupied en Thursday, the only alteration being in Southcote and Shoveller—the former hav ing made a decided advance, and the latter having risen from 40 to 30 to 1, but without many friends to support him. The Colonel and Drnid were backed to a very considorable sum, and so was Merchant. The two first favourites have changed places for the St. Leger, and Ultimatum got tip in the odds--the other horses keeping pretty near as in our last.

The pedestrian started from a little above Featherstone -street, City-road, and went steadily at the commencement of his task, but on clearing the ascent of the bridge, he ran at an astonishing rate for a man of his age, and, on reaching the required distance, he was nearly breathless, but won the match. --- Meetings, to p e titi on P ar li ament f or unquali fied Emancip a ti on , are to b e h e ld on next Sunday , in all the Parishes in this Dioceze— Waterford Chronicle. of S h a iVCo ngs nt a e nnlporaries, Doings, LITERARY N i OVELTIES.—Th e following 1 teresting New Works will b e p u bli s h e d in the toz rza of the present w e ek, b y M r .

We profess not to belong to that class of po liticians who hold up the annual receipts of they Treasury as the sole standard of Ministerial merit. We have not the same interest, therefore, a 5 some others of our cotemporaries on both sides of the question, in glossing over the real state of the fact ; we would wish to steer a middle course between such extremes. W€ 4 arc duly sensible of the great importance of a flourishing revenue ; but we do not see the necessity of taking alarm at every fluctua tion which may take place in a concern of such a complicated nature. We go upon this sure principle, that an industrious and commercial country such as this, rich in capital, and etilt more in every species of ingenious industry, can not permanently go back ; that, however, it may be checked in its progress to wealth by casualties incidental to an extended commerce, it must recover its lost ground, and start with new vigour in its course ; and that its revenue mint keep pace with its commerce,—for what is the public . revenue but a porti on o f th e revenue of individuals—it is a conduit from the great stream of the general wealth, by every ebb and flow of which it is of course sensibly affected. It is from this view of the subject that we are not at all itie dined to draw alarming inferences as to our revenue. We expected that it would decline with the commercial storm that swept for a time every thing before it. But that being past, it is just as certain that our commerce, and along: with it:our revenue, will revive, as that the earth will be clothed with verdur e by th e re t urn o f spring.«e had many gloomy forebodings of ruined finances before the accounts of the revenue were made public. But now that lye 110 longer deal with reports, but with facts, am( that we find our revenue for the last ycac is only less than that of the year before by 5,997/., all these gloomy anticipations arc at once dissipated. When we consider the com plicated nature of these accounts, and the vast ness of the concern, the difference of so small a sum is really of no consequence, and may be occasioned by a thousand circumstances, little. connected with the real state of the revenue. As to comparing particular quarters, this is 'ilia nifestly absurd, as so many accidental causes may concur to pour a greater quantity of money into the Treasury in one quarter than another, that no satisfactory inference can be drawn lions such facts. We can arrive at no true conclu sions, but by comparing the produce of different years. We gave in a former paper the produce of the following years, namely : The year ending Jan. 182.5, i. e. 1524 £48,812,759 1825 48,573,819' 1826 46,650,472: 1827........ 46,644,670 Now, according to this account, we shall show, as plain as can be shewn by figures, which will not lie, that the income of the present year, as compared with 1824, has not fallen off ; but has increased. The year 1821, no doubt ex hibits a greater produce ; but we have to consi der that in that year various duties were itz Operation which have been since repealed. lc was in that year, that the Chancellor of the Ex chequer proposed to repeal or reduce the duties on ruin, coals, wool, and silk ; on which account he calculated on a loss of revenue, equal to 1,062,0001.; these duties were not immediately reduced, so that the revenue for the year 1824 had the benefit of the greater part of them. Ira the year 1825 again, the duties on wine, hemp, coffee, British spirits, rum, &c. were either re duced or repealed, on which the loss was esti mated at 1,515,000/. ; and, if no increase of re venue had been calculated on, must have greatly exceeded this sum. Thus the loss by the re duction of the wine duty was only estimated at 230,000/. per annum ; though, as it amounted to nearly 50 per cent. on the tax, it should have been estimated at 50 per cent. on its produce, which would have been about 800,000/. The high duty on wine generally produced from 1,700,000/. to 1,900,000/. When we diminish this tax one half, we of course strike off one half of its produce from the revenue, provided no increase takes place. The revenue of 1824 therefore amounting to 48,812,7591., and being aided by those high duties which this in pi N ai s sr 'e th r ii e gn e t i if t li l le r rip r ire r e 1827, e ) n u e d a a c k u l e e e c deoadftoitiriati reducedole t l Bl : :t ie d e ibir i ; u : e t r r ent se which . reductions For t 1 dedutiesicl trot t take effect till afterwards, allow 800,000/. ; and for the duties reduced in 1825, as estimates by the Minister at 1,515,0001.. but which is far too low, as they must have affected the revenue to a far greater extent, pro vided there had been no increase in the produce of the taxes, we may allow 2,000,000/. In order to compare the revenue of 1827, therefore, with that of 1824, we must add to it the produce of all the taxes which existed in 1824, and swelled the revenue of that year to 48,812,759/. These we cannot estimate at less than 2,500,000/., wh►ch, being added to 46,644,670!, the revenue of 1827, will increase it to 49,144,6701., above 300,000/. more than the revenue of 1824. From this fair comparison of the revenue of those djf ferent years, therefore, it clearly appears that there is no such thing as any regular decrease of the national income.* Only let us be patient, and not fret at every untoward or petty accident, and we have no fear for the decline of our revenue ; and still less for the ruin of this industrious, commercials and enlightened country. I Reduced taxes indeed do not produce the same in come ; but how can we expect that they would? They (lo produce more in proport lol , and that is all we ought to look for. We see no remmil for alarm therefore. DARING BURGLARY AT GREENWICH. - break ers, an d several of them have been ap - This town has lately bee n muc h su bj ect to the visitation of out three week s s i nce , t h roug h the activity d. and the local p o li ce , f our f e l lows, who cii g :afi a ,e n lni f ete s rnd. o od } f oe, h iA t t o I from town in a chaise -cart, were apprehended, and u pon them were found crow-bars, jemmies, phosphorus Lox, matches, and, in fact, all the materials of house breaking ; and, upon being committed to Maidstone for .hree months, as reputed thieves, they acknowledged that th eir intentions were not of a very limited description.— A. fen , weeks since, a highly respectable inhabitant of Greenwich, Mr. BENNETT, watchmaker, of Stockw e ll_ street, received an anonymous letter, the writer of which asserted that, if 201. was not deposited in a hose in Brick ,trect, his house would be broken into and plundered, and, to use the language of the letter, "himself knocked on the lead."
