The accounts of the Revenue were made up last night, and they give us no reason to say that the gulph between the Income and the Expenditure is closing up. The whole de crease on the quarter, as compared to the cor responding quarter of last year, is certainly trifling, only 3,6611., but while there is a great increase in the Taxes, 382,8881., arising from the increased per tentage, from which men cannot well escape, there is a decrease in the Customs on the quarter, notwithstanding an increase in the rate of duties, of no less than 289,3481. The Excise shows an increase in the quarter of 83,361/. We are also happy to say, that there is a small increase in the Postage of 19,000/. The several items of increase amount to 499,3671., and the several items of decrease to 503,0281., making as we have said a decrease on the quarter of 0,6641. The account for the whole year is equally unfavourable as an indication of our commer cial system. The decrease of the Customs for the year is 856,991/. ; of the Postage, 515,0001.; Crown Lands, 15 , 000 /. ; total decrease, including reppyment of advance, &c., is 1,663,2-24/. The Excise duties have increased 431,0-201., and the Taxes, 609,471/., making, with other things, the total increase of the year 1,138,5841.; and showing on the whole year, notwithstanding an increase in the rate of taxation, a falling off in the reveaue of 324,640/. In other words, the total revenue of 1840, was 45,196,863 1 ., of 184 it is only 44,67.2,'223/. Nor will the alteration in the Postage account for this loss. The loss by that alteration in the year was 545,0001., which is much more than counterbalanced by the increase in the Excise and Taxes of nearly 1,100,0001. It can no longer be said that the revenue keeps up, and the fall ing off in the Customs of 856,000/. in the year, notwithstanding an increase of 5 per cent. in the Customs duties, shows that the trade of England, the mainspring of its greatness and superiority to other nations, is becoming weak, and decaying under the misbegotten legislation of avarice and ignorance. It must be on this occasion remembered that the corn duties have yielded about 1400,000/. to the Customs revenue in the course of this year. But should the ALMIGHTY bless us, of which there is at present a promise, with an abundant harvest, much less corn will be imported in the next revenue year than in the one which has just expired, and we may consequently antici pate worse, rather than better, prospects for the revenue. Although we are aware that a falling off in the revenue from a diminished importation of cord is at all times compensated, to some ex tent, by the increased consumption which is brought about by that abundance which prevents importation, yet we are forced to conclude, from this circumstance, that a fixed duty on corn im ported—different fi om a duty levied at the mill, as in the olden time, on all the corn ground and consumed in the country—must always yield a --rtain and varying revenue. In very sons it will give nothing. If Mr. plan of giving a bounty on corn lortionate to the duty, be hdopted, as the fixed duty will be a source tot of revenue, and will add to the he Treasury. There is, however, present of having a, fixed duty sub the sliding scale, and.

The accusations of bribery made by the jour nals, of both parties, are general and even awful. At Nottingham, for example, the Whigs—at Shrewsbury the Tories, are charged with unheard of bribery. Never, it is said, was bribery so extensive, so barefaced, and so profligate, as at the present election. We fear there is too much truth in the accusation, and we exonerate neither party from the charge, though, we be lieve, that the most profligate bribery has been on the side which boasts of most success. Some considerations, however, arise from these circumstances, worthy of attention. A House of Commons, so collected, cannot command the re spect and obedience of the people. They, par ticularly the unrepresented, who greedily believe every tale which is to the disadvantage of the present system, will conclude at once that a Le gislature, collected by such corrupt and base means, is unworthy of all confidence. ‘V hile the bribers imagine, therefore, that they are achieving a party triumph, they are sapping the authority of the House of Commons. If ever the people could be governed by such a system, the time is now passed, and at present it would be as rational to expect that they should honour FAUNTLEROY, and respect GREENACRE, as honour and respect a Legislature founded and constituted on the basest and most open corruption. It is, • however, exclusively on the sup port of such a House of Commons, obtained by such means, while he is opposed by the QUEEN, CUM Ll= F ..., ..,...---. I_, 4i—> 1...,1L- ..4` }l,O inpnnle that Sir ROBERT PEEL relies to carry on the Government. That is, a hated minority is to go vern the hating majority. He has the parsons and the country gentlemen on his side, we ad mit. He has the monopolists with him; but they will only be able to govern society, and subdue all things to their will, when the public mind shall be so transformed that it shall wor ship GREENACRE and regard FAUNTLEROY as a martyr. _ _ Before he has got into office, the great leader of three-fourths of the people, and the greatest of all the organs of the,,Tories, the Times, has declared against the monopolists. The world will not regard its declaration as less sincere, because it seems itself not to have been aware of the bearings of what it said. The Times had a long and elaborate article yesterday, the drift of which was to prove that the free-trade projects of Ministers have such a powerful charm for the inhabitants of all the towns in the empire, that they are only pre vented from embracing them, and returning an overwhelming majority in favour of the Whigs, by believing that the Whigs did not mean to give them, or were unable to give them, the measures they promised. " Can anything," said that Journal, "in the wide world be more clear, than that if the people of England, more especially of the towns of England, had but believed these representa tions, they must have returned, with one con sent, a long array of anti-monopolists' to the new Parliament?" " The drift," it concluded," ofall our observations is this :—lf the people of all these commercial towns had believed that Ministers were really sincere—that they really meant to do, and would do, what they promised—namely, to increase the comfort, to promote the trade, and to unchain the industry of the community,—then it would clearly have been impossible for them to have resisted such an offer, or to have spurned from them so great a boon." Cheap sugar, cheap tim ber, and cheap bread, enlarged trade, unchained industry, increased comforts ; these have, on the showing of the Times, an irresistible claim on the affections of the inhabitants of the towns. They rejected them when proposed by the Whigs, ac- cording to that journal, because they doubted the sincerity of the offerers, but that will not make them desire these things the less, nor regard them as less beneficial, nor make them less oppose the Minister, and the party which seize the Government, on the principle of maintaining all these monopolies. The Times did not, we believe, mean to prove, but it certainly proved, that the Government of Sir ROBERT PEEL, which has no other support than a corrupt ma jority of the House of Commons obtained by bribery, will be directly opposed to the wants and wishes of the inhabitants of all the towns of the empire. Sir ROBERT PEEL is enamoured with the bread-tax ; Sir ROBERT PEEL headed the oppo sition to the Budget; Sir ROBERT PEEL moved a vote of censure on Ministers for bringing for ward measures for reducing the Sugar duties, which they could not carry. Sir ROBERT PEEL has staked his Parliamentary reputation and his political existence—if there be faith and honour left in England—on refusing to lower the duties on sugar, timber, and corn ; and the Times tells us that these reductions have so great a charm for the inhabitants of towns, that they will do almost anything to obtain them. We shouldlike to know how Sir ROBERT PEEL, in opposition to the inhabitants of towns, with a damaged Parliament, and supported by a party which will fall asunder as soon as they have the spoils of office to divide and quarrel about, is to govern the country ? Without a thorough change in his policy—without adopting at least the principles of the measures he has condemned, when brought forward by the Whigs, it will be impossible foi him to govern for six months, in spite or the QUEEN and the people. We have already observed that no mal-ad ministration brought about our present distress. The laws have been properly executed. The policy of the Ministers, avoiding expense as much as possible, has been judicious; but the Corn-laws, the Timber-laws, the Sugar-laws, and a number of other laws they have been obliged to execute,are execrable. The laws, then, should be altered, not the Ministers changed. As no mal administration has brought on our difficulties, so no mere change in the Administration will remove them. Will the accession of the Tories to office still the fears of the landlords ? No, indeed. They are born of their own injustice, and over their convictions a change in the Ministry can have no influence. Will it pacify the Dissenters, and make them acquiesce in Church-rates and the further exactions for - the support of the Church, to which Sir R. PEEL is pledged by his votes and speeches? Will it hush all disturb ance in Ireland ? Far from it. Exasperation will ensue, which the language of the T ory journals is already justifying. Will it put an end to the slumberingiri ill-willto between France and England? Why, s BERT PEEL, in his Tamworth oration, has stio.- matised the revolution of 1830 as the offspring of physical force, and opposed to that moral force of which he fancies himself to be the head and the organ. Three days have not yet elapsed since the Times scolded Lord PALMERSTON for censuring the French mode of treating the Arabs ; but what is his indiscretion, if it were one, compared to the indiscretion of the proximate Prime Minister, who has denounced the princi ple of the French Government? The supposition that any change of the Exe cutive Goveinment, without a change in the laws, can restore England and Ireland to peace and prosperity, is absolutely unwarranted. On the contrary, that change seems likely to in crease our difficulties both at home and abroad. The Government of Sir ROBERT PEEL is, in fact, to be formed on a principle of injustice, denying all measures of relief, and exciting, by its nature and character, turbulence at home, and distrust abroad. There is another curious feature in the elec l'ons calculated to arrest the attention of Sir ROBERT PEEL, and of the landowneft andparsons THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDA Y, JULY 6 1811. more extraordinary as the King of GREECE was said to have thrown no difficulties in his way. Intelligence from Candia has also been received up to the 18th ult. On the 13th the Turks defeated the in surgents, and drove them into the mountains, MUSTA PHA PA.cnA, Governor of the island, pursuing them at the head of his regular troops. The Turkish loss was small, according to their own accounts, that of the Can diotes 70 hors de combat. __ . There is no other intelligence from Candia, but the Courrier Francais asserts, we know not on what autho rity, that the English and French Consuls in that island have received orders from their Governments not to de clare themselves so unfriendly to the insurgents as they have already done. According to the Presse the sum already sent by ME HEMET ALI to the SULTAN, on account of the tribute, is 1,250,000 f. " Everything, therefore," this journal adds, " gives reason to hope that even this reserved point of the difference between Turkey and Egypt will not give rise to any serious difficulty." We have received news from Hayti, dated the 18th of March. They are of an unfavourable nature. Instead of affecting a gradual disarming to lighten the burdens of the country, or giving it the means to discharge the debt to France, the Pre sident has ordered new levies. There is a want f hands for agriculture in that fine and fertile country, and young men enrolled in the unpaid National Guard, who do not appear when called on, are sent to prison. As Hayti is not threatened by any foreign Power, and less by France than any other, it is evident that the armaments are directed against the interior. It is known that serious dif ferences arose between the Chamber of Representatives and the Senate, on occasion of the law on the Customs, that several members of the Chamber, including the President, w ere expelled from it; since that time great irritation has pre vailed. Attempts have been made on the person of General Inginm, the most important of the Ministers. There is every reason to believe that on the death of President Boyer, there will be a civil war , unless the parties should be recon c led. Hopes are entertained that the wisdom and patriotism of the Members may succeed in restoring the Constitution, which is in fact suspended, and in effecting the disarming, as that is the only means of re-animating agriculture and manu factures. One of our countrymen lately arrived from Hayti, writes to us from London on the 27th of June, that if President Boyer does not change his system of policy serious troubles are to be feared. It is said that the French Minister for -Foreign Affairs had directed our diplomatic agent at Port-au- Prince to make friendly representations.—Le Constitutionitel. Our Madrid intelligence is to the 27th ult. It was said in some quarters that the only difference between the propositions of the Minister of Finance for a new loan, and the capitalists, with whom a negotiation has been at tcznkted to he opened, consists only in the amount. The Minister wants 35 millions of reals, and can only get offers for 30 millions. We more than doubt the authen ticity of this rumour : if any parties could be found fool ish enough to advance 30 millions of reals to a Govern ment on the verge of bankruptcy, and devoid of courage and honesty enough to attempt to remedy the scandalous abuses of the collecting system, or, if any body could be induced to assist a nation which possesses vast individual wealth, but has no party sufficiently patriotic to come forward in the Cortes and propose measures, practicable enough, for Spain to help herself, if such could be the case, the negotiators would undoubtedly " go the whole hog," and would throw away the odd five millions. The cause of the difficulty experienced by the Spanish Go vernment is obvious enough to whoever knows that two and two make four, and who is at all acquainted with the bad faith that has so long disgraced the public cha racter of Spanish statesmen. It is reported that the project of the Budget, which will shortly be submitted to the Cortes, will recommend a very shabby piece of economy—that of cutting down the young QUEEN'S Civil List by three millions of reals per annum, while the allowance made to ESPARTERO, as Regent, will be two and a half millions. The allowance of the QUEEN DOWAGER as Regent, twelve millions per annum, stops of course. In the preamble of the project of law for raising 50,000 men for the army, the Minister of War stated that the active-service list of the army is to be fixed at 100,000 men, and the disposable reserve is to be 50,000, composed of provincial corps, and the skeletons of disbanded regiments. The former num ber is complained of by some of the opposition party as too high, considering the impoverished state of the country. It was expected that the prorogation would take place on the 7th July. In the Fitting• of the Deputies on the 26th, a motion was made by M. SANCHO I and some other members, that all charges and imports made in the name of what is called the Royal Patrimony, established since 1814, should be abolished. Referred to a Committee. Another motion was made by M. SEBASTIAN GARCIA, that whenever the taxes of the kingdom, as determined by the Chambers, were found insufficient to cover the deficit in any year, this deficit should be made good by being portioned out in sums, to be raised for that special purpose, through out the kingdom. This was also referred to a Committee. Advises Fran Valencia state that Dm VELASCO Y FERNANDEZ, suspected to be a Carlist agent travelling on a mission of importance, had been arrested. The remains of the Portuguese legion, 3,000 out of 15,000, had at length submitted to be dis banded on receiving part of their arrears of pay. A letter from Carthagena states that the authorities there were still occupied in conducting legal proceedings against the British Consul for the affair of the Dolphin English merchantman, said to be a smuggler. The Consul had left for England, being named to another post. The Commandant of the Jaseur had also set out for London. The last accounts from Catalonia stated that troubles had occurred in the manufacturing town of Vich, but had been suppressed. A rencontre had taken place in the valley of Salazar, on the Pyrenean frontier, between some French douanicrs and some Spanish pea sants, suspected to be smugglers. The former employed their fire-arms and wounded a young man. Orders had been sent from Madrid to repel force by force, and even to give some arms to the inhabitants of that valley. The Five per Cents. for cash were at 22 to 261, and for account at 26i ; Four per Cents. at 20k cash. GERMAN PAPERS. BERLIN, JUNE 28.—0 n the 25th of this month Count Bruhl had his final audience of the King at Potsdam, previous to setting out on his return to Rome. M. Eichhern, Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs, was pre sent. It is generally said that he has received the most conciliatory instructions ; that the Court accedes to all the proposals of the Roman Curia which are compatible with the dignity and inalienable rights of the Crown, and which tend to peace. HANOVER, JUNE 30.—The Assembly of the Estates has been dissolved to-day. As the Constitution autho rises the Government, in case of a dissolution, to collect the existing taxes for another year, so that the consent of the Estates is not necessary for that period, the taxes will be levied accordingly. The Estates have been as sembled for four weeks. This is indeed a short time ; but, considering what the Second Chamber has done, it is too long. The majority have perhaps been remiss with design ; but then why should the country pay them for doing nothing ? If inaction was a concert and plan of the Opposition, it should at least take no pay for its idleness, and defray the expense of Radical dinners and Opposition fetes out of its own pocket. The country had no concern with the opinions of the Opposition, ex cept that it bad to pay for the utterance of them in the Chamber three dollars a day, which no patriot refused to take from a consciousness of having done nothing to earn them.—Hamburgh Papers, July 2.

Sra-11te election for louth Warwickshire has terminated, and the old Tories are returned, but you will be pleased to learn that our electors feel their own degradation, and that a gentle hint has this morning been given which, if carefully followed up, must convince our nominal members that their minds must expand, and that they must become more truly " liberal " in feeling, whEn on the next occasion they seek the support of their constituents. The contemptuous manner in which they endeavoured to " walk over the course "—has disgusted their own supporters, and the enthusiastic cheat; a hich followed the nomination of Mr. Bradley are a sufficient indication of the feelings of the electors of this division, vho are desirous of being represented by men independent in )rinciple, and who are determined on any future opportunity t► support such candidates. I have only to add tha the thanks returned by Mr. Shirley, were simply and distincty those of a man who thought "he could do what he liked wth his own."

CURIOUS OCCUMENCE.—During the time of sermon on Sunday laa, a servant maid, who had gone out without her checi key, and not wishing to let her master know that she had left the house at all, made ap plication at the Poliet-office to get a sweep or some in dividual to go down he chimney and open the door in side. A little sweepwas readily procured, and he soon got to the chimney )ut in descending he took the wrong one, and the astonishnent of a lady who was poorly, and a doctor who was in attendance, may be easier imagined than described whenlittle sooty tumbled out of the fire place on-to the bedmin carpet—a very unexpected visi tor indeed.—Glasgow Chronicle. We are glad t► see that the well known civil and obliging Surrey-6e box book-keeper, Mr. Harris, is about to take a benefit at th , Victoria Theatre, on Thursday next. The cast for the dramiis a strung one, and contains the names of Miss Vincent, Mr. )sbaldiston, Mr. Saville, Mr. Gardner, and Mr. Brougham. We trust the friends of Mr. Harris will come forward, especialy as this is to be a farewell benefit, Mr. Harris having accepter an engagement at the Brighton theatre wider Mr. J. F. Savie, who suppose that their views and wishes are to be laws for the rest of mankind. At Glasgow, Marylebone, Edinburgh, Leeds, the Tower Hamlets, &c: &c.; the Chartists have appeared at the hustings, and have nominated their own can didates. At the last general election they were unknown. The Radicals existed as a party for many years before Major CARTWRIGHT put up for Westminster, or Mr. HUNT for Preston. But the Chartists have burst at once into notice as a political party. Their supporters at the poll were few, but they were numerous at the hustings, and are numerous in the country. They dislike and distrust the Whigs, but they cordially hate the Tories. That numerous class are not to be cajoled by the silvery, unmeaning words of Sir RORERT PEEL, and his accession to office will recruit their ranks, will supply them, pro bably, with funds and leaders, and will sharpen their animosity. We see no indication in these circumstances of returning or increasing prosperity frqm a change in the Administration, without a great change in the laws which Sir ROBERT PEEL is to take office to oppose. He may have a majority in both Houses of Parlia ment; but that majority, were it ten times as great as it is likely to be, will never make wrong right, or induce the intelligent community long to submit to poverty, want, hunger, and injustice. The Parliament may make what laws it pleases, it can only govern the country on honest prin ciples, which Sir ROBERT PEEL and his followers spurn with contempt. The insurrection in Crete and the European provinces of the Turkish empire excites no interest in England or France at all commensurate with its importance. Among established Governments the word insurrection has an ill sound, but, in the majority of instances, history will bear us out in asserting that in four cases out of five of popu lar insurrections, right and justice have ever been on the side of the insurgents. As long as aominion, tounctea on aggression and conquest, is maintained by tyranny and oppression, so long do the conquered people retain the right of regaining by force what they lost by weak ness. Now it cannot be disputed that the dominion of Turkey in Europe has been upheld solely by tyranny. The Turks never established any equitable claim to the Government of any part of Europe. They introduced no acts, they cherished no literature, they revived no national recollections, they fraternized with no class of the conquered people. Those whom they conquered they enslaved and brutalized ; and by resting their domi nion solely upon force they justified every appeal to it on the part of the objects of their tyranny. Now, small as is the amount of political knowledge in Candia, and in the provinces of Servia, Bulgaria, Wallachia, and Mol davia it is too great to allow the Christian inhabi tants to submit much longer to the oppression of the Sublime Porte. Their independence may be delayed for a few years by the threats of the Great Powers, which have constituted themselves guardians of the Turkish empire, but, assuredly, nothing can prevent their final emancipation from the Ottoman yoke. Now, the duty of the British Government is not to throw obstacles in the way of brave men fighting for freedom, but to take care betimes that they may not exchange the yoke of the SULTAN for that of the CZAR. Upon this question Austria and England have a common inte terest. Austria's persecution of the Greek 'patriots during the war of independence originated in her terror of that country becoming a Turkish province, and the Emperor ALEXANDER betrayed the Greeks the instant he learned that D. YPSILANTIS and his gallant com panions in arms had resolved to raise Greece to the dignity of an independent State. Turkey in Europe is large enongh to form an independent kingdom, and no thing will contribute more to restrict the dominion of Russia than the formation of a Christian State between her and the shores of the Bosphorus. We are the more eager to express our views upcin this question from seeing that hitherto the Candiot insurgents have experienced great harshness from the European Consuls in that island. As an instance we quote from the Na tional the following Address of the French Consul, while that journal preaches obedience nominally to the SULTAN, but virtually to Russia and Great Britain : " Cretan Emigrants,—From the moment of your landing in arms in the island of Crete, in my quality of Consul of his Majesty the King of the French, I have incessantly declaimed energetically against your hostile proceedings with respect to the Porte. Blinded, hitherto, by the perfidious insinuations which have misled you, you have remained deaf to the words dictated by sentiments of peace and humanity; and, under the pretext of reclaiming, I know not what rights, you have introduced disorder into the island, by insurging a part of its inhabitants against the Government of the Sublime Porte, and you hive foolishly reckoned on the support of foreigners, for at presht every power repulses your enterprise and consi ders it illegal. " In the view of making you renounce the vain hope of a pretended protector from France, I immediately sent back your despatches, which I, as Consul of his Majesty the King of the French, could neither keep nor forward to my Government. .‘ This official act should have enlightened and convinced you that, far from creating delusive hopes, I wanted to induce you to leave a land where you could not long fail of being punished by the forces of the Sultan. _ _ _ " Now that the blockade is rigorously effected, and that military operations have commenced, by opposing an illegal re sistance to the Sultan's authority, you will ..shed your blood without any glory whatever. " Depend upon it, the inhabitants whom you are misleading will abandon you trusting their interests and their future prospects to the kindness of the Government of his Highness. " There consequently remains for you no other means of safety than by submitting immediately to the authority of the Sultan—by throwing yourselves on his magnanimous gene rosity. " Hasten, Cretan insurgents, to surrender and confide your persons to the humanity of his Excellency the Capitan Pacha. Cease to endanger by your presence the inhabitants whom you have misled by fallacious promises, otherwise you must ex pect the just punishment drawn down by your rebellious ag gression. " Trust in the words of him who, far from abusing you, has never ceased, conjointly with the other Consuls, to show you your real interests, by stating to all the exact truth, which has just received the unanimous confirmation of all the Powers." REPLY OF THE INSURGENTS. "In spite of the proclamation§ of the Consuls of the Chris tian Powers, the Provisional Government established by the insurgents perseveres in the line it has traced relative to the Sublime Porte, as is proved by the declaration it has addressed to the Consul, residing at Canea." The attention of the French public, and of the Paris press, as we learn by our Correspondence from that capi tal of Sunday, is turned with the most vivid anxiety to the electoral contest in our own country. The probabi lities are calculated with earnestness by the quidnuncs of the Boulevards, and the hordes of individuals connected in some shape or another with the existing French Ca binet are trembling, " some for their fortunes, some for their trade," as poor GEORGE COLMAN'S Chough and Crow erst did, according as they see the Monopolist and Anti-Monopolist returns fluctuating in the accounts brought by each succeeding post. Some of the leading journals, such as the Debats and National, have got edi tors despatched to England for that special purpose, who send them daily accounts of the most spirited hind, and they work up the incidents of our " life on the hustings" with a degree of picturesque dramatic effect, that has created a strong sensation in Paris. The correspondent of the Debats is said to be M. JULES CHEVALIER, now in England on an Anti-Slavery mission ; while ARMAND MARRAST, the well-known Republican, writes to the National. On Saturday Mr. HENRY LYTTON BULWER, who acts as British Charge d'Affaires during the residence of Lord GRANvvv.v.r. at the charming villa of La Jonchere, between Malmaison and Manly, had an interview with M. GUIZOT, and delivered a communication from Lord PALMERSTON, to the effect that the hatti scheriff having now been accepted by MEHEmET Au, no obstacle now re mained to France giving in her accession to the Confer 0110A ©f the Four Powers nfl sioling_tlie_final_nrotocol for the settlement of the Eastern Question. His Lord ship therefore requested M. GUIZOT to send powers to that effect to the Baron DE BOURQUENEY in London. We further learn that since the Treaty of Unkiar Skelessy expires on the Bth inst., Baron BRUNOW has declared that Russia is ready ad willing to sign this final protocol without loss of time. It appears that M. BRESSON, French Ambassador at Berlin, had before leaving Paris a long interview with the KING, whom, and not from M. GUIZOT, he received special instructions to do all he could to promote a friendly feeling towards France in the Prussian Court. The KING and Court are now at Bizy, a small chateau on the Seine, near Vernon, in Normandy, on their way to Eu. It seems that very unfavourable reports of the health of the Duke of AUMALE have been received from Algiers. It was previously known that his Royal High ness was attacked by dysentery, but it is now said that his condition is alarming. It is said that the Queen of the BELGIANS will come to Paris after.leaving the Court of St. James's. There is a talk in military and fashionable circles of a grand fete to be given this month by the Duke of ORLEANS, at Villars mar Neuilly, in honour of the conquest of Algiers. There was a report circulated the other day of nego ciations being on foot for knocking down all custom houses between France and Belgium. On this sukect the Independent of Brussels says : " It is true that at Paris as well as at Brussels the Govern ment is occupied with endeavours to draw closer the commer cial relations betweedthe two countries : but at present nothing more than overtures and conversations have taken place. We believe we can affirm that no actual proposition has been made on one si le or the other. This matter is too closely connected with the most important interests of Belgium for the Govern ment to lose sight of it for a single moment." The Charivari asserts that Mademoiselle RACHEL, wh(l.n giving one of her readings before the Duke of WELLINGTON, perceived that all her audience were ignorant of th e F renc h l angua ge, except the Duke himself. She went on , h owever , with her reading and spouting, co nso li ng h erse lf, at l eas t, w ith the idea that the Duke understood her. After it was over his Grace ap proached the great actress and said, " Mademoiselle, our guests have had a great advantage over me : they have had the happiness of hearing you :—I am as deaf as a pest !" The death of the Queen of HANOI ER was known in Paris, but had not produced any further sensation than as it was expected to produce, much depression of mind in the King ERNEST. News has been received at Paris, via Marseilles, from M. TRIERS, of M. MAVROCORDATO having posi tively refused to accept office. This was considered the EVENT INfl SUN.

ELECTION MOVEMENTS. COUNTY OF HERTFORD. The nomination of the candidates to represent the county of Hertford in Parliament, took place yesterday in the Plough Mead, Hertford. The Conservative can didates were accompanied to the hustings by nearly five hundred horsemen and a great number of carriages filled with elegantly dressed ladies. Mr. Alston was also ac companied by a large body of horsemen and equipages, and the scene exhibited at the hustings was quite magni ficent from the number of equipages, banners, &c., that were assembled. The High Sheriff, R. H. Gausden, Esq., having read the writ and the Deputy Sheriff having also read the Bribery Act, and made the usual proclamations, the former addressed the electors, and said they were assem bled to perform a most important duty, and he hoped they would listen attentively and quietly to the observa tions of every gentlemen who might address them. W. BAKER, Esq., then proposed Lord Grimston as a candidate, and said that he was their well-known and tried old friend, and he now again came forward with two other Conservative gentlemen nobly to support the rights and liberties of the people.—(Cheers.) It was said that there was a coalition. It was indeed a noble and glorious coalition to protect the old institutions and the Constitu tion of the country from being overset—a coalition to prevent the Corn-laws, which all their interests looked to for support, from being altered, and to preserve and protect the religion of the realm ; and he was satisfied that if there was such a coalition in every county, Old England would again be Old England, and would still hold her place among the nations of the earth. C. G. TuomsoN, Esq., seconded the nomination. W. BLAKE then proposed Mr. Alston, amid great cheering from the supporters of that gentleman. He said he had great pleasure in proposing Mr. Alston, be cause his opinions were wholly different from those of the other candidates, and believing, as he did, that the opinions of those gentlemen were detrimental to the best interests of the country, he had therefore great satisfaction in supporting Mr.ALston, who was their decided opponent. He believed that the gentleman who had just "been pro posed was too much imbued with Tory principles to do any good for the country, and as he considered Toryism the bane of this country, he was glad to have an opportunity of bringing forward an antidote. Mr. Alston was not an unknown man,—he had already been 'well tried, and had never been found wanting. And he defied any man to say that be had neglected his duty upon any one occasion. —(Cheers.) And he was quite at a loss to understand why the present attempt had been made to turn him out, by the introduction of three' Tory candidates. He implored the electors to rescue the country from the infliction of having three Tory Members. He had seen enongh of Tory misrule to in duce him to consider that the establishment of another Tory Government must be looked upon as a national calamity. The Tories had burdened them and their children, and they and their children would have to pay thirty millions a year for ever in consequence of Tory mistakes, Tory misrule, and Tory mismanagement. The present Government he believed had done more for the cause of civil and religious liberty, and im proving the condition of the country during the last ten years, than the Tories had in a hundred—and for the Reform Bill alone the country would owe them an eter nal debt of gratitude. He called on them, therefore, to show their gratitude by returning Mr. Alston, the sup porter of that Government as their representative. The Hon. W. COWPER seconded the nomination, and said that the electors had only to look to the division lists of the House of Commons to see in what manner Mr.' Alston perfprmed his duty, and they would see that he had never been absent, or neglected his duty, upon any important occasion ; and he had always been a con sistent supporter of the principles upon which he had been returned as their representative.—(Loud cheers.) He gave his support to Mr. Alston because he was one of those who supported the great principle of civil and religious freedom—of those principles of enlightened philanthropy which would give comfort and education to the poor, and freedom to all classes. He was also anxious to give him his sup port, because he was favourable to those great principles of commercial reform which had been developed by the present Government, with the sanction - of her Majesty, and which involved the great question whether the manu facturers of the country were to languish and be de stroyed, or whether they were to be placed in a prosper ous and flourishing condition, and as a necessary conse quence, that agriculture should also flourish, for it was impossible that one of those branches of industry could be prosperous while the other was depressed. The Mi nistry had introduced a great experiment to make up the deficiency of the revenue by causing an increase of con sumption of the necessarries of life, and thereby obtain an increased revenue, instead of creating fresh taxes, and the only real objection the Tories had to the proposed measure, appeared to him to be their dislike to remove taxes of any description. They pretended, certainly, to feel sympathy for the West India planters, but he thought that a protection of 50 per cent. was quite sufficient for them, and that they need not com plain. With respect to the proposed alteration of the Corn-laws, he thought that the apprehensions that were entertained of the results to be apprehended from it were in many instances most absurd, and, in his opi nion, it would not in any way operate to the prejudice of the landholders. Even Sir Robert Peel admitted the present sliding scale could not stand, although he did not say what change he should propose ; and therefore the only question appeared to be, what change should be made. The present sliding scale had entirely failed in its intended operation, and he was convinced that it was injurious to the farmer, and that the moneyed speculator alone benefited by it, and that, if they had a fixed duty, they should secure a uniform and moderate price, in stead of being subjected to the violent fluctuations of the present system. The Honourable Gentleman then went on to remark upon the addresses that had been moved by the Conservative candidates, and, in allusion to their having called the pre sent Government ad unprincipled Administration, asked whether that VMS language becoming honourable Chris tian gentlemen, as they professed themselves. He would not retort the same abuse upon them—the country had to decide between the two parties—and although the Government might suffer temporary defeat, he felt quite sure that the great principles they had brought forward must eventually be successful, and that truth would ulti mately prevail over error and prejudice. Sir Robert Peel had carefully abstained from binding himself to any fixed course of proceeding, and he considered that he had no right to turn out one set of people and then, perhaps, propose the very same measures which they would have carried if they had had the power. He con sidered the present coalition was got up to destroy the independence of the county, which, in former times, had always been foremost in the cause of re form, but he felt convinced the attempt would rouse the spirit of the electors—the , Tories had roused the sleeping lion, and he would never rest till he had destroyed his disturbers—for his part he was deter mined never to relax his exertions until the county was placed in its former position as regarded its representa tives, and he was convinced the same feeling prevailed among the majority of the electors.—(Cheers.) G. F. BOSANQUET, Esq.,then proposed Mr. Abel Smith, and the nomination was seconded by W. Plumps, Esq. N. HIBRART, Esq., proposed the Hon. Granville. Ryder as a fit and proper person to represent the county of Hertford in Parliament.—(Great cheering from the Conservatives.) He respected Mr. Alston as a private friend and an honourable man, and if the Government had continued in the torpid state they were some time back, he should, very probably, not have offered any . op position to his re-election, They had seen the Ministry displaced from power, but still clinging with a desperate tenacity to the petticoats of the Palace, hoping that something in the chapter of accidents might turn up in their favour, and foiled in that hope, they Saw them now 'bring forward a desperate project, involving the interests of the most important institutions of the country, in their dying struggle, expecting that it would give them a little more vitality, and keep them in place a little longer. They had 'seen these Whigs opposing most strenuously the very same measures when proposed by Messrs. Villiers, Ewart, and Warburton, which they now themselves sub mitted to the country. What was the reason they did so? Was it because their opinions had conscientiously changed respecting them ? No. The only reason was because they were in difficulties, and hoped that a little excitement and agitation would enable them to go on for a short time longer. The Ministers told them that they had seriously considered these matters ; if that were'the case, he thought it an additional .reason to show how utterly unqualified they were to control the destinies of this great nation.—(Cheers.) It was f i ,; possible to countenance a Ministry that would hav e cruelty to appeal to the passions of the people by a ire of " Cheap bread," when they knew at the same o n that it really meant low wages. He concluded by Pr' posing Mr. Ryder, who, he said, would be a firm se r porter of the interests of all classes of the commun it y' and of all changes calculated to be really advantag enu " , to the people. Mr. HALSEY seconded the nomination, and i n til : course of his observations expressed himself adverse. t.. the provisions of the New Poor-law, and expresse d desire that those enactments pressing harshly upon CITY, TWELVE 0' CL 0 CK. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARICRT, JULY s.—We have had a very good demand for Cotton to-day from the trade, con sisting of sales to the amount of 5,000 bales, at an advance of ner lb. since Friday.

Lord GRIMSTON then addressed the electors. Ids Lordship said he agreed in the opinion that had h ee o n expressed that at an important crisis like the present _ 4 , private feelings should give way to the public interl He was acquainted with many Whigs whom he respeete., and cherished as friends, but he did not respect theinn political opinions, and therefore he was induced aga in 1 ,. solicit their suffrages on the present occasion. An 'l- Gentleman had complained of an expression in the _ dress of the Conservative candidates, but he eeu a sidered that expression quite Parliamentary , ~_ Id he had not the least desire that the contest sue" l . , be carried on in any other than a friendly roa n to, and without any personalities being resorted i 1, The proposer of Mr. Alston had told them a great ",,„ e l e about what he had suffered under a Tory Govern he but he would only say that if he was a fair spechnel , ,,, was a very unfortunate one, for he appeared to o'• . , s done exceedingly well, and to have been very prospere"o under Tory rule. The present Ministry had , 1 , 1/1:1 4 brought forward a proposition, which, he believed , 'l . ,'" never intended, or had the least intention to earl' in (Interruption.) He, however, felt great pleasur e , n e opposing the present question, and the Ministers finw 7 themselves in a minority, had apealed to the count r, o ' t and recent proceedings clearly showed that they ha d 11 ,, been very . scrupulous in usingl them in places, tomi. cure a majority of supporters.—(Hear, hear.) The , i g nisters told the people they were to have every ll ' cheap—cheap bread, cheap sugar, cheap timber , 5 1 . . 1 e , cheap tea ; but he must say, that with ,:l st i spect to the last mentioned article, they m it _ such a very curious mode of cheapening it by h icle ,Rl. ading the ports of . .. China. Their timber project iv°, have the effect of doing great injury to their 0 7 0 colony of Canada—a colony, be it. remembered, t lla t be very lately had so nobly come forward in suppo fa rthi ng mother country—and, to save three-fifths of a o t a pound on the price of sugar (for that was the en, of the reduction), another colony was to be sacrinc`; and the great and magnificent experiment the P e ti, had made for the abolition of slavery would be destroYto, a and all the horrors of slavery revived. He Was s ,d, 4 however, that the people of England had too much gnd. sense to be deceived by such a mischievous project , 7; ) , the results of the elections showed that this was i t i case. He was opposed to a fixed duty on corn, at was sure that a fixed duty would not act advanta , e,e il l o and that a sliding-scale was the only real prote 6 ctw,,,.. the farmer, while, at the same time, it worked with „lb neral advantage to the country. The honourable eT t ; didate then congratulated the electors upon the res 3,.. of the elections, and said that, if they exerted th e selves, the victory must be theirs.—(Cheersl' ' , ti r- Mr. ALsTort next came forward and was very ta v ".„o ably received by his supporters. He said: the recaPtilti-et he had just experienced satisfied him that his 09,11.05 in Parliament had been in accordance with the or til ve tl of his constituents, and he trusted thatfbis votes s ilo , l itre he had been actuated by a desire for . the general Nve" trn .. of the kingdom. He would just allude to the mo st a d portant question to them, that of., the Corn-laws, no, they were of course all aware ,how he had voted nr iti a that question. He told the Government that 11 0 w° , o o support them in the alteration.of‘ the timber and 51 ; 110" duties, but as he went to Parliament upon a 1 3 , es ", v as pledge to oppose any alteration' in the Corn-laws , l' e 0 .) determined to redeem it to the very letter.—(Cheecuvin Now, however, he stood befOre them a private it io . e 6 dual, and if they returned-him it would be unit,7o as to any particular course Of conduct in refere n l this question. While, '-thewever, he said t t he must at the same time express his opinion 6at_4.. landed interest was entitled' to the most substantial 11,1; tection, not at the expense of any other interest, 1,1,' that all should be equally prosperous ; for if one g . ', , ::,!1i; interest was depressed the others must equally s!;; It s Every one, however, must be aware that the P r r sliding scale was a most slippery protection.

The Money Market appears to be undergoing one of those partial and temporary changes to which it has been so fre quently subjected within the last few months. Money, all cir cumstances considered, has been tolerably easy, but there is no question it would have been much tighter, were it not for the payment of the dividends at the Bank of England. The failures that have occurred within the last few days are of course the chief obstacle to a return of perfect ease in monetary affairs. As to the statement of the revenue, it is what all must have been prepared for, who have watched the reports given under this head from time to time relative to the depressed condition of every branch of trade.
