Some of our Tory Contemporaries have sought to extenuate the defalcation of the revenue by pointing to the . late Turn-out, and such events, they think, will not happen every; quarter; and, by referring to the general election as having swelled the Excise revenue in the last year. A little reflection on the mode in which Excise du ties are levied, will, we think, dissipate the delu sions they have built on these circumstances. There is no longer any duty on beer, and all the falling off caused by - a diminution of the consumption of that article will shoW itself; nut immediately, but hereafter, in the diminished consumption of malt, which yields more than a third of the Excise revenue. The Excise duty on spirits is not levied on the publican's stock, but at the distillery, and unless the Turn-out stopped distillation it is not likely to have had much eflect on the Excise revenue this quarter. It began, be it remembered, when the quarter was half over. The Excise dutieS are levied on auctions ; they were not much suspended by the Turn-out. Neither did it much interfere with making bricks, or glass, or paper, or soap, nor with the post-horse duty, nor the manufacture of vinegar. If for a short season the con • sumption of various articles was checked, the effect will be more perceptible, we believe, in future - quarters than in the quarter just expired. This statement will serve also to refute the deductions drawn by the Tory journals from the last general election, the ad vantages of which to the revenue were less shown in the quarter in which it fell, than in . subsequent quarters, when more malt was made, and more spirits distilled. We are still inclined to think, therefore, that the condition of our revenue, so fir as that is derived from other sources than the Income-tax, is most deplorable, while it is a lamentable proof of the sufferings Of the people, and the wan t of national prosperity. We feel not, on this account, the least despair for the country. The source of its great ness and its wealth is the mind of its inhabitants.• This shows no sign of decay, but is as active as ever, and is now particularly busy in tracing out the causes of the national suffering. The energies of our people are yet, we believe, un diminished. All the physical sources of their power—the fertility of the soil, the productive ness of their mines, the teeming abundance of their seas, are as full as ever. -- The hand of the artisan has not lost its cunning, nor is his surprising industry lessened. Pestilence has not thinned the people, nor has the sea devasted a single acre of our soil. The cause of the national distress is plainly of our own imposing; it is not any curse inflicted by the hand of nature, except that it follows our transgressions of her laws, and ou r h ope that this cause will speedily be exposed a n d re . moved, is derived from the vast mental energy that is now en2-aged in scrutinising the public c ( niflitiou. The inquiry will show, we believe, that freedom of industr . os the orie thiug needful, but whate-verit shall demonstrate tube required, that, we are sure, the good sense of the (multi.) will speedily secure. An inquest has been held at Cheltenham on the body of CrriaLEs BEALE, a person recently confined in the Northleach House of Correction, whose death is said to have been caused by the • severe discipline of the prison. After examining some witnessev, the Coroner adjourned the in quiry to Friday, that he might communicate with the authorities. We are not yet, therefore, en titled to say anything positive of the cause of the man's death. The'aiithorities may place the sub ject in a different light, and induce us to come to the opposite conclusion from that which the evidence hitherto given seems to justify. go far as that goes, it appears that the man was healthy when he was sent to the House of Cor rection in February, and having been sentenced to hard labour, was there placed on the tread wheel. His work in that situation was very fatiguing, and the prison diet insufficient nourish ment. When not on the wheel, lie was confined to a cold damp cell, with nothing but a stone or an iron bedstead to sit on. Into these cold cells the prisoners were often removed from the wheel, with their shirts so wet with perspiration, that they could wring them. To these causes, and being made to work when he was unwell, his death is ascribed. Other persons complain of the treatment in the prison, and accuse it of great hardships and death. We are not disposed to aggravate these charges, or defend the system. As far as we know, our prison discipline, in spite of the many efforts which have been made to reconcile con finement and severe punishment with humanity —to gratify at once the kindly feelings of some, and the desire of vengeance in others—remains, and ever will remain, a sore trial for those who have not been educated, as it were, to live in a gaol. We doubt whether it be possible to re concile imprisonment and forced labour, in con junction with scanty fare and the privation of society, with the enjoyment of health. Man was not intended to be entombed till death, and a prison, with its clammy stone walls and stone floors; is little better than a tomb for the living. We shall be slow, therefore, to aggravate charges against those who have to administer the system, whatever the system itself may deserve. In carceration for a length of time, in conjunction with hard and forced labour, and insufficient diet, must, we believe, except in rare instances, be productive of feebleness, disease, and prema ture death. We are much afraid that none of the fine de vices adopted in model and other prisons are likely to get over the inherent qualities of the system. Men of acute feelings must, therefore, snake up their minds to submit to much pain front sympathy, or give up the idea of severely punishing a great multitude of offences. We know no means of reconciling severe punishment with notions of great humanity ; and putting men to death, transporting them, and imprison ing them, have accordingly, each in its turn, been condenined,by those who chiefly consult their own feelings. Nor must those persons who make the effort to reconcile these opposites throw the blame, as they are generally wont, on the gaolers, or on medical men who have to look after the prisoners. It is the very nature of the trust confided to them to make them either severe or careless. The persons placed under their charge have no means of helping them selves. They are degraded, and almost at their mercy. It is impossible that the prisoners should inspire them with respect; and though gaolers, magistrates, and workhouse-masters may sometimes pity individuals, it seems almost impossible that they should treat paupers or prisoners with strict justice. The system, then, appears to exert a baneful influence on those who administer it, and we can rarely expect them to keep to the strict line of their duty. Such characteristics of the system, and the great extent to which it is now car ' ried out, require that the Press should watch its operations and results attentively. Atno►.gst the persons confined at Northleach, and who " perished," as the Times said, " nude a slow and torturing death," was a man named WILSON, whose offence was "deserting his fa mily," and leaving them chargeable to the pa rish. A great multitude of persons get. a month or two months at the tread-mill, which is at pre sent the favourite punishment, for many minor offences. The snore frequently the punishment is inflicted, the more careless or severe will be men in authority, and all its bad consequences will be exasperated. Already it is attenued with the fatal consequences ascribed to it in the cases of BEALE and WILSON, and, being applied to a great many offences, it requires to be most assi duously watched. Nothing occurs more readily to the majority of mankind, including legislators, than the idea that punishment is sure to prevent any given offence, and uncles this hasty conclu sion punishments have been amazingly increased. If first impression. —at least on such subjects— should be regarded with distrust, the present condition of our country (in which punishment seems to have lost its efficacy, and crimes to in crease even faster than gaols) should incline us very much to doubt the prevalent notion, and should rather make us check the enactment of so many penal laws than hope to obviate the physical and mural evils of imprisonment by some ingenious devices. hensive enough, in his views at least to undertake to present this case before the American people, and thus do something to restore the public character for morals and honesty? The doctrine of repudiation has inflicted upon us a stain which we ought to feel worse than a wound, and the time has come when every man ought to address himself soberly and seriously to the suppression of this great existing evil. A weekly paper states that " at a meeting of the Marylebone Vestry on Saturday, a proposi thm was made to grant a site for the erection of a monument to the memory of the Scotch Re formers of 1793, which occasioned some argument and questioning, but on which the Vestry came - to no decision." This proposition ought at once to have been -decided in the affirmative, with out the slightest " argument or question ing," for it was one which it was no more than an act of common justice to acccde to, and which it was ungracious—and we may add, ungrateful—to refuse. Who have stronger claims on the respect and gratitude of all con scientious Reformers, than those who braved every difficulty and danger in the cause of Re form ? Beset by obloquy, subjected to the bit terest contempt and ridicule, dogged by spies wherever they went, while the kalous, restless, ever-vigilant eye of Government was fixed on their slightest movements, and its legal emis saries were prepared to misinterpret their slightest and most inoffensive expressions ; the Scottish Reformers yet nobly perse vered in their attempts to ameliorate the political condition of their countrymen ; they were the great pioneers of Reform ; and if we have at length, after a world of difficulty, suc ceeded in obtaining this boon; if the voice of the people be now heard in the House of Commons, where, fifty years ago, it was scarcely permitted even to whisper—it is to the disinterested, pa triotic martyrs of 1793, that this vast im provement in our political system is mainly owing. The Marylebone Vestry ought not to have forgotten this fact ; and they should have borne in mind also, that had it not been for the strong impetus given to Reform by the indefatigable exertions, and ting-rudg,ed per sonal sacrifices of MUIR, PALMER, GERRALD, and their colleagues, .Marylebone might, at this mo ment, like the other Metropolitan boroughs, have been without a Representative in Parliament. It tells but indifferently for public spirit when pro. posals to honour the memory of the patriotic dead, are received by public bodies with coldness and apathy. _ The accounts from Constantinople of the 28th ult. possess considerable interest. The media tion of England and Russia had been accepted by the Porte in the Persian affair; and the SULTAN had communicated to the Ambassadors of the Great Powers his determination respecting the Syrian question. He consents to remove EMMER Pacha, and to replace him, as regards Mount Lebanon, by Esn AD Pacha, who is to ap point Maronite and Druse Princes to rule over their respective tribes under the Paella's in spection. The affairs of Servia still cause anxiety, and this has not at all been lessened by the arrival of M. DE BOUTINIEF at Constantinople, from which some persons conclude that Russia has a new intrigue in preparation. It was totally unex pected, even by the Russian Charge d'Affaires, M. DE TITOF. - It is supposed that Austria, Fiance, and Prussia will follow the example of Russia, and forthwhich dispatch ministers and ambassadors to discuss and watch over this ques tion, which cannot henceforth be left at the mercy of Russia. M. DE BOUTINIEF, on his arrival, was waited upon by the first Dragoman of the Porte, with whom he at once entered upon the objects of his mission. His Excellency at the same time made communications to the representatives of the fimr Great Powers upon the same subject, with a v iew to tranquillise both them and the Porte as to the intentions of the Russian Cabinet in regard to Servia. The dates of the Smyrna papers just received come down to the 30th ult. inclusive. M. LE LEI:, the Superior of the Lazarists in the Levant, arrived at Smyrna on the 2Gth from Constanti nople. lie was to proceed thence to the Grecian Archipelago, on an inspection of the religious establishments placed under his jurisdiction. Mr. BANKHEAD, First Secretary or the British Em bassy at Constantinople, and Commander QUAG LIA, the Tuscan Charge d'Affaires, passed through Smyrna on the 29th, on their way to Europe. On the 25th the British corvette Beacon sailed for - Vourla, whence she was to repair to Gandhi., to complete the survey of the coast of that island. The letters from Malta, of the sth inst., are destitute of interest. The squadron was still cruising between that island and Sicily. The Portafoglio Maltese states that it was again re ported that the present Governor of Malta would shortly be superseded in that post, and it avails itself of that opportunity to call on the English Government to appoint in his place a civil, not a military Governor. The Mediterraneo of Malta has a letter from Alexandria, 26th ult., stating that Mehemet Ali had at leng th paid a sum of money on account of the seamen of his fleet, and, in order to recruit his finances, bad issued a eircular calling on all persons who were indebted to him to pay up im- mediately, or find themselves excluded from all future contracts. This circular appears to have created great astonishment and dissatisfaction, as it was understood when the last sales of corn were effected by the Government that the pur chasers were to be allowed a certain time for the payment of a portion of the money. The people of Boston, in the United States, have been highly favoured lately. Some weeks ago they had a visit from a Noble Lord, a rai e personage in that democratic republic, who sur prised and delighted them by his modest de tneanour,by the intimate knowledge he displayed of their domestic affairs, and by his hearty and sincere expressions in favour of a lasting friend ship between the two countries. Next to which was the grand entertainment given to theitewn countryman, Mr. WEBSTER, who made an able speech ou the occasion, and began it by repeating the same sentiments, " My object," said he, " was to disperse the clouds which have been hovering over England and the United States, to determine questions which had existed for several years. and which, though not always threatening war, yet never assured us of per manent peace." That object he has in a great Measure accomplished, and every friend of both countries will readily bestow upon him a tribute of praise for the skill with which he conducted negotiations of no ordinary difficulty, requiring an the one hand a show of firmness to suit the tastes of his countrymen, and on the other, good sense and judgment to con cede points which were absolutely essential in bringingaffairs to asuccessful issue. His speech is characterised throughout by sound views, and by a degree of independence, and a bold expression of his own opinions, however unwel come to his hearers, which we rarely see ex hibited in statesmen. The IVPLEon affair, the immoral doctrine of repudiation, and the wild outcry raised by the inhabitants of Boston against his own party, form important features in his speech, and are all treated in a plain straightforward manner. Without justifying the attack on the Caroline, he reproaches the Ame rican citizens for the conduct they displayed on the arrest of M‘LEou, and still more for ap ro - ceeditig, contrary to the well settled doctrines of public law, in trying an Englishman for an act which was avowed, by the- British Government, as a public act. Any elevated Government, where a citizen was accused by another, in consequence of obeying its orders, be said, would have acted as England had done, and take upon itself all the responsibility. These remarks, however, affect others besides the riotous, headstrong mob, and will not be very acceptable to the Judge and lawyers who showed, by their proceedings, not only such ignorance of international law, but of the very principles on which their own Government bad acted.

Therefore, up to the present time, Sir reel's Madrid papers, of the Bth have been rece!ved. A Te Deum was sung in the Chapel Royal, on the 7th, in commemoration of the triumph which was gained last year over the movement, headed by General DIEGO LEON. The QUEEN, the REGENT, and all the civil and military autho rities were present. There was no particular ceremony ordered to be observed on the present occasion. The Halberdiers who so distinguished themselves on the night of the stii. October, 1841, are to be regaled with a dinner. The young Queen of SPAIN accomplished her 12th year on the 10th (Monday last), but her Majesty's guardian resolved that there should be nu besanrarios or other ceremonial. In the even ing the public offices were to be illuminated. A Committee has been nominated to draw up a Bill fur regulating the liberty of the public press, and to incorporate in one law the various measures which had reference thereto. Advices from Pampeluna state that Brigadier TRANETA, the Governor of that place, arid Senor MaDoz, the political Chief, have been dismissed. MADRID I3OLSA, SATURDAY, OCT.

'Will it succeed better hereafter ?" The Ministerial papers are silent on the sub ject of the treaty of commercial union with Belgium. But the Liberals discuss it without reserve. The National admits the disadvan tages consequent on a commercial treaty, but declares that a political union cannot otherwise be brought about. The higher commercial classes in France are, however, so opposed to it, that their union can never, probably, be carried, except as the result of a popular clamour similar to that which forced them to vote the fortifica tions of Paris. The Prince DE JOINVILLE and the Duc VALI..

" Who runs may read." FOREIGN. The King of the French, accompanied by Genei Rumigny, M. de Cailleux, and two orderly officers, went to Versailles on Thursday, at two o'clock. His Majesty first proceeded to Trianon, where he remained an hour; he then proceeded to the Palace, and visited the Crusade and Southern Galleries, and returned to St. Cloud to dinner. In the evening their Majesties received Count Mole and M. Ingres. The King and Queen of the Belgians left the Palace at two o'clock, and took a long walk to the bridge of Tranche Mon tagne and in the Avenue de Breteuil. The government of Lebanon is to be confided to Esaad Pacha with two Caim'acans, a Druse and a Ma ronite, as Lieutenant-Governors. A steam .frigate was launched at Constantinople on the 27th ult., in presence of the Sultan, the civil, military, and naval authorities, and the foreign Mi nisters. The French Government has made an extensive grant of land in Algeria, to a commuuity of Trappists, where this religious order are preparing to exercise their functions. Mehemet Ali has at length paid a sum of money on account to the seamen of his fleet, and, in order to recruit his finances, has issued a circular, calling on all persons who were indebted to him to pay up im mediately, or find themselves excluded from all future contracts. The Marquis of Hertford arrived at Brussels on Friday. The Acadia, which reached Liverpool at two o'clock on Saturday morning, has brought us letters and journals from America later by one dow than those by the Great Western. There are no fresh ad vices from Canada. The Porte has accepted the mediation of England and Russia in reference to the misunderstanding with Persia. PUBLIC OPINION. We take the following remarks from the Herald : "With our theory of the necessity of an Opposition to preserve independence in constitutional Governments, and with our practice of s systematised Opposition continually opposing the Government, because it is a Government, and converting every public- event into a field or into a weapon of party warfare, it cannot be without astonishment that we observe in the United States (a country, be it observed, where faction has brought a, larger circle of questions within the sphere of its activity than any in Europe) that suddenly upon a subject of great national importance factious jars should cease, and public opinion become united ; that such union should be one of contentment, of rejoicing, and of satisfaction with its Government, and exulta tion in its national position. The subject of this phe nomenon is the Washington Treaty, and it is an alert, acquisitive, and pertinacious people, prone to censure and reprove their Government, especially in connec tion with foreign relations, that display this remark able unity. This is a fact worthy of the meditation of those who consiikr the character of popular constitu tions, It testifies that opposition is not necessary to the Conduct of affairs or to their success ; on the con trary, it shows that when affairs are well and success fully conducted, unity of opinion is the result." The Post says :—" Ministerial revolution in Ca nada is an occurrence which cannot fail to excite regret for the past and apprehension for the future in the minds of all who regard loyalty to the British Crown and attachment to the principles of the British Constitution as indispensable qualifications for ad mission to any share in the administration of affairs, whether in this country or her Colonial dependencies. But while we acknowledge the justice and wisdom of this sentiment to the fullest extent, we think it right to disclaim the intention of casting blame upon the present Governor-General of British North America on account of what has taken place, and to insist, even at the hazard of differing from some persons whom we hold in high general esteem, upon the fair and equitable claim of Sir C. Bagot to be held exempt from all imputation, unless it shall turn out that he has acted without due deference and submission to the authority of the British Administration from which his own was derived, or that the policy adopted by this paramount authority was so manifestly unwise or un constitutional that a patriotic and conscientious ser vant of the State, filling the office of a Colonial Governor, would have been justified in refusing to assist in carrying it into effect." The Mowing is from the Chronicle :—" The Tories are by no means pleased with Sir C. Bagot's course, so highly praised by us on Saturday. his adoption of Lord Durham's principle of responsible Government is, naturally enough, regarded by them as so flagrant a deviation from their doctrines, that it is necessary for them to assert the principles even at the expense of a member of the party. The Times, of Saturday, accordingly attacked Sir Charles 13a70t with some severity for the act which we described as highly creditable to him. But the Times labours under some misapprehension with respect to the facts on which it grounds its severest strictures. It is quite true that Sir John Colborne did issue a warrant for the arrest of M. Lafontaine, and offered a re ward of 5001. for his apprehension. But the mere fact of having been suspected even of high treason, has never yet bees regarded in this country as for ever disqualifying a man for serving her Majesty. Least of all should such a rule be laid down with respect to individuals, who were objects of suspicion during either of the insurrections in Canada; for the terrors and rage of the dominant faction led them to suspect and accuse every man of eminence belonging to the French race in Lower Canada. The rule laid down with respect to M. Lafontaine would, we will venture to say, exclude every French Canadian, of any note on the popular side, or possessing the slightest influence over that large portion of the population of Canada. For, of all the leaders of that party, 31. Lafontaine was unquestionably v the least implic a ted i n either insurrection. MONEY—TRADE—COMMERCE. A meeting of the shareholders of the Bank of Man chester was held in that town on Saturday, when, on examination of the accounts, it was found that such was the deranged state of ffairs, owing to the mis management of the Committee, that there was in the whole a total loss of nearly 900,0001. Mr. Burdekin, who has recently absconded, and his coadjutors, will, it is hoped, be brought to account, and a dissolution of the Company has been recommended. ECCLESIASTICAL. The Venerable Edward Stopford, Archdeacon of Armagh, has been appointed to the vacant Bishopric of Meath. The new Bishop has been for many years engaged in all the ecclesiastical measures introduced into Parliament with reference to the Irish Church. The valuable living of Caledon, worth 2,0001. a-year and held by the Archdeacon, will be in the gift of the Government. ELECTIONEERING. The newly-appointed Attorney General of Ireland, Mr. T. B. C. Smith, is reported as about to start for the borough of Coleraine. Mr. Boyd has addressed the electors on the Conservative side. Sir Harvey Bruce is also expected to present himself to the con stituency in a few days. NAVAL. AND MILITARY. On Friday, the field-battery, commanded by Lieut.- Colonel Menzies, was inspected, and went through a variety of manoeuvres, before Sir Hercules Pakenham, K.C.13., and the Austrian office of the Archduke's frigate Bellona. Admiral Sir Edward Codrington will be succeeded in the naval command at Portsmouth, on the 22d of next month, either by Sir Charles Rowley, or Sir John Talbot. C 0 ITFLT —x° asin oN An I.E . The Prince of Capua and family have arrived in Paris. The Duke of Newcastle returned to Portman-square on Thursday from Clumber Park, Notts. The Duchess of Hamilton is daily expected home from Baden. The Duke and Duchess of Leinster arrived in Carl ton-gardens on Thursday from a Continental tour, The Dowager Duchess of Bedford, and the Mar quis and Marchioness of Abercorn, have during the past week been stayin6 at Qlenquoich, in the High lands, r flute artiVed tt Edinbyrgh on Sa• flieb ' • '• turday week from Luton Hoo, Bedfordshire. The Earl and Countess of Manvers have returned to Thoresby Park, Notts, from Scotland. The Earl and Countess of Fortescue returned to Grosvenor.square on Friday from Castle Hill, South Dolton, Devon. The Earl and Countess of Limerick are passing the autumn at South Hill Park. The Countess of Jersey and Lady Clementina Vil liers have returned to Middleton Park, from Drayton Manor. The Chancellor of the Exchequer left town on Sa turday for Hyde, Isle of Wight. MISCELLANEOUS. The vacant ground in Wellington. street North, in the Strand, which has long been the subject of litiga tion, is at length to be built upon. Dwarkanauth Tagore, the celebrated Indian, who has been on a visit to this country for several weeks, embarked on Saturday-for Havre-de-Grace, eu route for India. He is expected to revisit this country early next summer. The Countess of Bradford, daughter of Sir Thomas Moncrieffe, Bart., died at Norwood on Wednesday, at the age of 52. Her Ladyship leaves a family of seven children by the present Earl of Bradford, the eldest of whom, Viscount Newport, M.P., was born in 1819. Mr. Sergeant Ludlow, it is stated, has been ap pointcd on 3 of the Commissioners of Bankruptcy. Upwards of 6,000 tradesmen ha ve b een convicted dir rig the least four years, of fraudulently using short weights sad, measures. and COMMERCIAL NE %‘ S. _ CITY, MONDAY BVONING. A further Mame on account of the East intlia Company relieved the IMarkßt from the flatness which during the morning had peiNgdod it, but (lid not cause any alteration in the price of CotigolP, which remained at 92,4 92• for Money, and 9313- for the Ap. count. The heavy Stocks having been chiefly in de-. mand for investment showed a greater improvement; Three-and-a-Half per Cents. Reduced being 1601; New Three-and-and-a Half per Cents. 1011 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 92-,1 ; India Bonds, 46 47 ; Ex chequer Bills, 55 57 premium. The Foreign market was flat ; Belgian, 103 104 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 52+ 521; the Five per Cents.,loo 100 i; Danish, 83 84 ; and Brazi lian, 63 64.

The quotations of the Bonds were Colombian 204 20k; Peruvian, 16 17 ; Portuguese Five per Cents., 37/ 374 ; the Three per Cents., 22 224; Spanish Five per Cents., 16 16/ ; the Three per Cents., 21 21k. The indigo sales have made a better progress to day than they have hitherto done, more than one-half of the quantity put up finding buyers ' • 1,523 chests passed the chair, of which 846 were sold at about an average advance of 4d. upon the prices of last sale. The orders from the manufacturing districts are stated to be extensive, but in consequence of the im• porters acting upon the intelligence received by the last mail, and demanding extravagant rates, agents have not felt themselves justified in exceeding the limits originally given. At the meeting of merchants held to-day, upon the subject of altering the hours of business, it was agreed that the question should be referred to a Committee, and that their recommendation would be subsequently discussed, and agreed to or dissented from at a future assembly. It may be stated that it has already formed a subject of serious consideration, and that the opinion of practical men is generally in favour of the change. (From The Sun of Last Night.) A meeting is being held at the London Tavern at the present hour, to consider the propriety of altering 'Change hours to three instead of four p.m. Especially devoted as the space usually occupied under this head is to review and protect the proceed ings and interests of foreign Governments, as regards loans raised in this country, it is with unmixed plea sure that we direct attention to the most able speech delivered by Mr. Daniel Webster. There are advices from Amsterdam, but no con firmation is received of the reported loss of the Austrian frigate Bellona, under the command of the Arch-duke. The expose' of the affairs of the Bank of Manches ter has created great surprise in the City. The opinion Of nine out of ten capitalists here is that the Directcrs ought to pay all the losses that have been incurred upon the operations of this ill-fated estab lishment, through their neglect. The public securities have been less buoyant, with moderate business doing. Consols for present transfer have realised 931 to 934 ; and' for the Account 931. Money continues easy, as the dividend payments are progressing. Exchequer Bills have been 555. to 575. premium, and East India Bonds 465. premium. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. bring 1011 to 1014 ; the Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents. 100/ to 1001; and the Three per Cent. Annuities 921 to 92i ; Bank Stock is nominal ; Long Annuities are 121 to 12 5-16ths. The news from Lisbon is not at all more auspicious than any we have received for some time past, and it argues but little for the resources of the Government, or for its tact in improving them, when we heard of a gold mine being depended upon as a lift in meet ing the expenditure. Far preferable would it be to hasten the commercial treaty, and develope the agricultural resources of the country. The New Five per Cent. Portuguese Bonds have been at 37k, but the Three per Cents. have been nominal. Mexican Stock has been run down to 311, but is now again up to 321; Colombian Bonds are worth 20i, and Chilian 'B4 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents are 521 to 524. The Railway Shares have been very little dealt in, and prices are rather heavy.

The quarterly meeting of the Court of Assistants of the Royal Naval Benevolent Society was held yes terday at Willis's-rooms, at twelve o'clock, Admiral .- -:topford, the President of the Society, in the chair. The Secretary, Commander DicasoN, announced that the Society's votes to the Adult Orphan Institu tion were given to the daughter of the late - Lieut. Pimm, who was struck overboard and nearly killed by a blow from a handspike when boarding a Por tuguese slaver, and who subsequently fell a victim to the African fever, after six years' service on the coast, while commanding the vigilant and celebrated cruiser the " Black Joke.' After the minutes of the last meeting had been read, the Court proceeded to consider the petitions of the various applicants for relief. Among the applicants was Mrs. Pimm, the widow of Lieut. Pimm, to whom the Court voted 201. There were upwards of 80 petitions for relief; having disposed of which, the Court adjourned. Sir Charles Scudamore, M.D., has arrived in Wim pole-street, from Burton. Lord C. Fitzroy returned to Burlington House on Saturday from Euston Hall, Norfolk. SOUTIIAMPTON, OCT. 15.—Sailed at twelve o'clock this day, the Royal West India Mail Steam packet, the Dee, for the West Indies, taking out ninety-fiur passengers, thirty of whom are for Madeira, raying the full fare to St, Thomas's. In consequence of the number of passengers which the Dee has been obliged to refuse, the Tay steamer, Captain Hayden, which arrived.here on Thursday evening last, will sail as an extra padiet in the course of next week, sixty berths having already been engaged. The Oriental and -,-, r iminsular steam-packet, the Montrosi.s ; sailed this afternoon for Gibraltar, with full complemei;t ,pas- Severs, among wii9m are Sir Charles Napier ana fa mily for Lisbon. Sunday, October 16.—The Orien-• tal steamer, from Alexandria, was this morning released from quarantine and arrived here from the Motherbank, and , landed her passengers, thirty in number, who proceeded from hence per railway. Arrived this morning, the Peninsular Com pany's steam-packet Royal Tar, with full cargo of fruit, and 12 passengers, and 30 oxen. The Royal Tar left Gibraltar on the 6th inst., Cadiz on the 9th, Lisbon on the 10th, Oporto on the 11th, Vigo on the 12th, and Falmouth on. the 15th. There is consider able improvement in the beasts imported this week, and when the Spaniards begin to find a ready sale for their produce, some little more attention will be paid to their grazing of the cattle, so as to let them come in a better condition, and more suitable for the Eng lish market. The 30 that have arrived by the Royal Tar were sent by, special train from Southampton this day, to enable them to be Party in Smithfield to morrow morning. A sailing vessel left Vigo on the 3d inst. with 50 beasts, and owing to adverse winds has not yet arrived. The cost of beasts at Vigo averages from 51. to 71.; freight and railway expenses, 4/. ; and they fetch on an average 151. to 161. each ; some have fetched as . high as 251. Lord Charles Wellesley, Lord Wilton, and Mr. Mellish were among the passengers that landed at the Brunswick Wharf, Blackwall, yesterday, c fenp the General Steam Navigation Company's steamship Rainbow, Captain T, Fife, that left Antwerp the pre vious afternoon. SPAIN. _ - MADRTIJ, OCT. 6.—MARRIAGE Or THE QUI"' This afternoon Court.de Parseigt, the Chamberlain or Don Francisco, has been with the Regent in private audience groin three o'clock until five. This audience, the dinner which was given yesterday by 31. Miteut the treasurer of Don Francisco, to the most influential Ministers and leaders of the Cortes, and the frequent communications of the Infante with the Duke, are motives for believing that the negotiations for t he marriage of the Queen and the young Don Francisco de Am are continued with more celerity than is generally thought. 'To-morrow will be judged the case of a cornet half-pay, who is under accusation of having, for t he sake of a sum of money, taken the place of a oonseiP t o or become his remplacant.
