There are rumours in the City that the Chan: cellor of the Exchequer, that wonderful j ugg l er ; Contemplates reducing the Three-and-a-Half p er Cents., and by waving his finance wand striking OE' 15000,000/. a year from the public charge. Suai skill will make him renowned through all age, and the great national services of the Rigat lion.

' 4 7 :41' . ityzok ,AraiN - , 7!. • ° ' ' • r • 'SUIT/ thing to that effect has been said before, atad_willi be said again. It will be received, we are afraid, as important and cherished truth by a great num ber of persons, who will conclude that Mr. Gov . ', BURN has richly earned his own pension. They may probably be.disposed to vote him a statue in St. Paul's, by the side of JENNER, as one of the benefactors of the human species. We do not deny that, if the reduction of the interest of money were the natural consequence of the impossibility of finding employment for capital, the reduction of the interest of the debt would be a praiseworthy .undertaking; but we must, though the task be invidious, try to strip the Right' Hon. Gentleman of the glory lie is assuming. How is he able to reduce the debt? By money being plentiful and interest low. Whit makes money plentiful and interest low? Stag" nation of trade, the inability to employ Capital advantageously in any branch of business. In terest depends on profit, and when profit is interest, as the rule, will be low ; when profit is high interest will be high. Thus it is, • because profit is low, because trade is stagnant, because men can make little or nothing of their capital by embarking in agriculture, manufactures, or commerce, that the Chancellor of the Exche quer will be able to save the public a million a year, or reduce to that extent the incomes of the persons who now hold the Three-and-a- Half per Cents. But what makes trade stagnant and profit low ? The Tory Corn-law, the Tory anti-com mercial system, which excludes foreign commo dities, and have invited other countries to act on similar anti-trade systems. Sir R. PEEL, during the last session, consecrated the enormities of our anti-trade system, which he ought to have swept away, by a fresh Act of the Legislature. While his measures have contributed to lower prices, they have stifled enterprise. Mr. Gout.- BURN, therefore, the smirking Chancellor, is one of those who have caused, by impeding trade, that low interest of money, of which he is, ac cording to report, to take advantage, in order to obtain a glorious name in the history of the country. If the Three per Cents. were down to 05 or 70, because men could make six or seven per cent. on money by lending it to persons in business—if profits were 10 or 12 per cent., and if it were im possible for Mr. GOULBURN to execute his pet project of again reducing the interest of the debt, then all the persons engaged in business would be flourishing. They would want labour, the labourers would be highly paid, the peo ple would be again well off, and many mil lions a year, by the increase of people and of business, would be added to the national resources. If the public charge would remain the same, the ability to bear it would be so wonderfully increased, that the saving to be made by Mr. GOULBURN might be wholly dis: egarded. But the great addition to the national resources, by increase of profits and extended commerce, would be made by indi vidual labourers, farmers, merchants, and manu facturers, whose prosperity would reflect no glory on the Chancellor, while the reduction of the debt—though it be, in fact, nothing more than the exaction from the holders of the Three and-a-Halfs of a portion of their present re ceipts, and does not add one farthing to the na tional resources—is the deed exclusively of the great financier himself, and will hand him, covered with laurels, down to posterity. So, for the vain glory of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, the real good of the public is to be sacrificed. That the debt may be reduced, in order to give honour to Mr. GouLßuart, in terest is lowered, profit is lowered, thousands are thrown out, or are kept out, of employment, and the whole community suffers all the evils of a stationary or declining condition. The paragraph which we quoted yesterday from the Seventh Report of the Inspectors of Pri sons, relative to the great fall in the value of pri soners' labour between 1841 and 1834, deserves more prominency than we then gave it. The statement is that last year the clear earnings of each prisoner, though they were more indus trious than ever, was of the value of only 2/., while in 1834, or seven years prior, when trade was good, the value of the earnings of each pri soner Was St. In 1838 they were of the value of 6/. This case is extremely important, because the prisoners did not work for masters who reduced their wages as they extorted more work from them. They performed only a certain portion of work each day, their over work being entirely voluntary, but because the value of labour fell in the market as trade slackened, and the price of wheat rose, the value of their labour fell too. It fell, it appears, in the enormous proportion of three-fourths, and if the value of free labour fell in an equal proportion, what a prodigious deal of suffering must our patient labouring classes have gone through? Talk of the effect of the restoring the gold standard reducing the value of property 30 per cent., talk of abolishing the Corn-law and lowering the value of land 10 to 20 per cent., or even 50 per cent. ! what is that to the 400 per cent., if we may use the phrase, which the value of labour has been beaten down by restrictive legislation ? Can those who pompously and solemnly dilate, day after day, when Parliament is assembled, about the injustice of lowering the artificially raised price of corn twenty per cent., or who are almost thrown into convulsions at a proposal to diminish the income of the clergy ever so little, answer to themselves, answer to their own consciences and their Gon, for lowering the value of the labourer's produce by the laws from 160 s. to 405.? This case is extremely instructive, because thlt reduction of value took place in the face of rising prices, and it must therefore be a complete extinguisher for all the flickering Will-o'-wisps about high prices keeping up the value of labour, which our Tories, as they have decomposed into Whigs, have emitted, to the delusion and astonishment of the gaping Tory public. The reduction in value, too, occurred last year before Sir R. PEEL had meddled with the Tariff, and mocked us with a pseudo reform of the Corn law ; and the most inveterate opponent of free trade 'cannot ascribe it to any relaxation of re strictions. The reduction is recorded of last year, though it is plain that it did not then begin ; it began with the scanty supply of food, and the high prices of 1837-8, showing clearly 'enough that high prices and a short supply of food reduce the value of the labourer's produce. The reduction is: recorded, too, by no theorist; it is not brought forward to support a system; it does not rest on the evidence of the Corn-law League; it is the statement of a public officer, the record of a public institution, and, like ITHuntEes spear, it dissolves at a touch a vast mountain of anti-free trade falsehoods. Terrific combat with poachers—five men of a side fighting in the woods of peacefill England by moonlight, armed with bludgeons and guns— all wounded and bruised morn or less, one killed—a verdict of wilful murder returned against five men, and four of them committed to prison to take their trial : such is the heading and out line of a narrative which we insert in another part of The Sun, from the Chester Chronicle. How long are such scenes to disgrace this civi lised and Christian country? How long are midnight combats and murder to be risked, for the amusement of that class who will not allow the people to feed themselves ? How long are preserves of game and a monopoly of food to I be placed in the same hands who at once re duce the people to hunger and tempt them into offences, b y supplying offering th em an eas y means o f their wants? Far be it from us to palliate or excuse, in the least possible degree, , the atrocious crime which has been committed. We abhor bloodshed, and therefore do we vehe mently condemn both the system which leads to it, and the men who are guilty of it. It is cruel, it is very unjust, to reduce the people, on one hand, to a state of semi-starva tion, and,on quantities the of wild other, to nourish animals, and by maintain great inktianign g•a t h e people can sustai n lif e. Preserves and Corn-laws are incom patible. If fc )ocl everym ust which ret be supplied exclusive l y f r om our ownsoil, TIIE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 29, 184 acre .ought to be devoted to growing it. The landed gentlemen cannot, in the nature of things, expect to enjoy in peace parks and preserves amidst a population destitute of employment and food. Without extenuating, or excusing the conduct ofpoachers, we must say that we regard it as the consequence of the laws made by the land-owners. The county of Tipperary happening just now to be in an unusually tranquil state, the local Magistrates have thought fit to assemble in sage and solemn conclave, and declare their conviction that such unaccustomed tranquillity in a district, which is not itself unless it be in a high state of effervescence, is exclusively owing to the tem perate and judicious administration of Earl DE GREY. They have accordingly ad dressed his Lordship on the subject, who in his official reply, has thus coolly appro priated to himself all the merit of having tran quillised the county in question :—" I am truly gratified to receive the testimony of the local Magistracy, as to the present state of Tipperary, and their approval of the measures which, in their judgment, conduced to it. The line of my duty appeared to me to be clear, midi had no scruple in adopting it, and although the appointment of the Special Commission did not, at the time, give satis faction to all parties, the result has, I think, am ply demonstrated the propriety of the measure." There is a self-complacency in these remarks that is exceedingly entertaining and edifying. Will his Lordship be kind enough to point out what particular measures he adopted to pacify Tipperary? What was the express course of policy he pursued to reconcile those who were habituated to the considerate and kindly Government of a NORMANDY and an EBRINGTON, to the Tory Administration of aDE GREY ? He cannot, and he knows he cannot; for his policy, as regards Ireland, has ever been tame and tem porising, trimming between two influential par ties, and acquiring, as might be anticipated, the confidence of neither. Earl DE GREY is just tolerated as an English Viceroy, and no more. The Liberals uniformly distrust him—the Orange men alternately applaud and abuse him. What ever trifling amount of benefit he has conferred on the country subject to his sway, he has con ferred only by following in the footsteps of his immediate predecessors. As for his tranquillis ing Tipperary, the idea is ridiculous. It is the Catholic Priests, aided by Father MATHEW, and the local Temperance Societies established by him, that have accomplished this desired object; and in taking the credit of it to himself; Earl Dig GREY shows that he is by no means wanting in that intrepid effrontery which is said to be pecu liar to those who have been baptised in the waters of the Shannon. The violent and rabid attacks on England which appear almost daily in French journals, falsely assuming the title of Liberal, greatly embarrass the French Ministry, and raise insur mountable obstacles to the establishment of friendly relations between the two countries. The only lessons taught the people are to hate the " felon Government" of England, to hate M. GUIZOT, the servant of foreigners, to call for large fleets and large armies, as if the nation was on the brink of war ; and in fine to regard them selves as humbled and disgraced, till they have eclipsed the untoward events of 1814 and 1815 by new and splendid victories. The English journals seldom notice these mischievous arti cles, but so far from allaying their rage, the contempt . with which the writers are treated. only urges them on to still greater madness. For the sake of the French them selves, however, as well as for the general peace of the world, it would be well for these persons to consider calmly, if they can bring themselves to such a state, what they could gain by acontest, and whether England is not fully as powerful now as she was at any one period of the long war. They might also inquire whether France has so many friends; or rather unwilling allies, as she had under the iron reign of NAPOLEON. Could she expect assist ance from outraged Spain, or the German Confederation that responded as one man to the war-cry of 1840, or to Austria and Russia, who .barely acknowledge the new dynasty, and regard with a jealous eye the restless and aggres sive spirit of her people ? The GRAND SULTAN, if he could be of any use, would rather side with the Power that restored Syria to the Porte, and MEHEMET ALI would hesitate before he threw himself a second time into the arms of France. We have settled some affairs of importance with the United States, and besides, the Government and people of that Republic know that the repudiating system has alienated the two countries not a little, and would prevent any cordial union. On casting our eyes, therefore, over the map of the world, we can discover only one nation that would willingly join with France against England, but unfortunately the people are not very warlike, the SOVEREIGN is jealous of foreigners, and would rather purchase peace with this country than run the risk of having his em pire invaded by two hostile nations. Would French commerce be increased, would her few colonies in the West Indies be more secure, and would even her splendid fleet be an over-match for that of England ? These arc questions which should be answered before the firebrands of Paris drive two great nations to war. What has England done to France to justify the abuse which is heaped upon her, or to warrant French men in calling upon the Canadians to throw off the dominion of the Mother country ? In the same reckless and pitiful spirit one journal an nounced, on Tuesday, that the reductions in the French navy had been effected at the in stigation of the English, and ludicrously proclaimed that the " splendid Mediter ranean fleet which caused the British Government so much fear, had ceased to exist." The writer ought to remember that they once had another splendid Mediterranean fleet which ceased to exist, not at Toulon or Brest, but at the mouth of the Nile. It is only waste of time, however, to argue with such men ; but if they persevere in their wicked purposes, we may per haps return to the subject, and give them some more information in a chapter entitled " Steam slaps of war." Our accounts from Madrid are of the 19th inst. The Minister of Finance was said to have already prepared the Budget of 1843, in which the deficit was only estimated at 20,000,000 reals (200,0001.) Senor CALATRAVA was still anxious to obtain from the Cortes an extraordinary con tribution of 300,000,000 reals, which he intended applying to the payment of the contractors without drawing on the receipts of the State. According to the Eco del Comereio, the Cortes will speedily be dissolved, should the Congress present the same physiognomy as during the last session, a case which appears probable. The anniversary of the 7th of October was celebrated at Valencia, Murcia, Carthagena, the Asturias, and Gallicia, with perfect order, in de spite of the sinister predictions of the Moderados. The Three per Cents. were done at 21 for cash, and 21 at 60 days; and the Five per Cents. at 0 6?-, and 26 13-16th s at 60 days. We have received all the Paris papers, ~~l►icl► contain various articles on the pro posed treaty with Belgium, the Right of Search, and the prosperous state of the French manu•. factures. The reductions made in the Navy also furm a topic for discussion, and call forth from the National the subjoined grievous lamentation. England, of course, and the Minister of the Foreigner, have been the cause of all the mis chief, for nothing injurious or humiliating can happen to France but through the wicked machi nations and crooked policy of this country. " England," says this journal, " ought to rejoice and return thanks to our Ministers. Our splendid Mediterranean fleet, which caused the British Government so much fear—that fleet, so capable of protecting our threatened interests, and of de fending our honour, which has been compro mised—that fleet which cost us so much time and money, and which an imperious vote of the Chamber of Deputies seemed to haVe preserved f!. froM•complete destruction—has ceased to exist. ' France has. no longer a fleet,' exclaims the Touloonais, and that journal is right, for the name of fleet cannot be given to some ships de prived of life, which Admiral HcooN is suppcned still to command. The general disarming—this disastrous measure, which the bad feeling always displayed by -the present Ministry towards our navy had caused us to foresee, and which we announced long since—is at present an act completed. England could not bear that we should have a-fleet, and our navy has been - sacri ficed to her. jealousy. This deed would have been accomplished sooner if the Ministry of the Foreigner; WhO- ever act as if they had received a commission to consummate the ruin of our navy, had not had their reasons to proceed slowly and secretly in their work of destruction." The Paris Moniteur publishes a despatch from General DE BAR, dated Algiers, the 15th inst., tr to ivia°. an account of General 13ITGEAUD'S move n ments down to the.l3th, when he was encamped on the banks of the - .Esser, in the country of the Beni-Kraoult Toun. BEN SALEM had collected the warriors of six Kabyle tribes, and was pre paring to attack the expedition, when the Gene ral, being intbrined of his intention, marched to the place where the Arabs had assembled, and dispersed them in every direction. No accounts had been received f..oin General LAMORICIEHL since the fith, when he was in possession of Teke dempt. The Moniteur Algerien of the 17th announces the return of General Buciraun and his staff to Algiers on the morning of the 16th. " The ob ject of the expedition to the East," it says, " has been completely accomplished by the destruc tion of the government of BEN SALEM. Here after that rich country, in which our troops bad not yet penetrated, will send abundant provi sions of every description to the market of Algiers." . The Siecle,states that General PAJOL bad de clined accepting the post of Aid-de-Camp to the KING, left vacant by the death of Gen. DELA.. BORDE ; and the Commerce states that it would, in all probability, be given to Baron TRIANT, a General in the National Guard of Paris. A great meeting of persons interested in the woollen trade was to take place at Compeigne, on the 24th instant, and a meeting of Deputies had taken place at Paris, on Tuesday, at M. FULCHIRON'S, to consider the best means-of re sisting the. Customs' Union with Belgium. The two Governments, in fact, may as well give up the project at once, for the selfish class-interests of France will not suffer any interference with their property, however necessary it may be for the good of the community. The Commerce thus describes the proceedings and the result of the meeting :—" The main argument was, that Belgian industry could supply everything for consumption in France, whilst the consumption in Belgium had nothing to take in return of French productions. The Assembly was una nimous that the union would be productive of serious injury to the material interests of France. The Commerce asserts that De puties of the maritime cities, as well as of the manufacturing districts, were against the treaty, as the former feared the competition of Antwerp and Ostend, connected as they were by railroads with the French frontiers. The con duct of M. CUNIN GIUDAINE, the Minister of Commerce, in opposing the treaty, was warmly approved of by this meeting, which finally came to three resolutions; first, that each Deputy should endeavour to represent ti►e dangerous state of things, if the Ministerial projects were carried into execution, to the Throne, as the first duty towards the Crown and the country ;- secondly, that each Deputy should put himself in communication with the legal representatives of commerceand industry of the place he repre sented to be an organ in Paris of their interests; and finally, that the Deputies would act in concert with an assembly of various Delegates convoked in Paris for the sth of November. The meeting then adjourned to the 2d of November. These meetings give great offence to M. TRIERS' nrgan; the Gourrier Francais,. which is a free-trading and anti-protection journal. It is curious to remark that this Liberal newspaper denounces the assemblies of manufacturers and traders as illegal and unconstitutional... It corm-_ tends that the Charter is violated by these'rneet ings—an opinion, however, which is not shared by another organ of M. TRIERS, the Constitu.- tionnel. The official organ, the Message'', thus points out the effect on the linen trade of France by the ordonnance of June, and the decrease in the importation of coals since last August. In July the entries of flax were 1,319,600 kilogrammes in August only 413,349 kilogrammes, a decrease already of more than twc-thirds. In nearly three years, the monthly importation was only twice under this figure, and this year it had constantly exceeded a million of kilo grammes. In September the import was only 289,085 kilogrammes. This result proves that the ordonnance of 26th June is freeing the flax industry from the excess of importa tion under whichit was succumbing. The importation of linens has also experienced a de crease in the same month. In August it amounted to 329,347 kilt, and last month was only 234,735 kil. The importation of coal has much decreased. We have only imported last month 43,698 tons, and in July it was 210,000, and in August 83,037 tons.

The Prussian State Gazette of the 21st instant an nounces that the proceeds of the reductions about to be effected in the taxes, and which are to be applied to the construction of railroads, would amount to 1,920,000 rix-dollars. The railroads which the Go vernment contemplated to establish were independent of the six for the construction of which ample provi sion had been made. One of these was to extend from Minden to Cologne ; a second from Halle to wards the central Rhine through Thuringia; a third from Berlin to Konigsber g , w ith a branch road to Dcntzic, and another to the Russian frontier; fourth, from Frankfort-on-the-Oder to Breslau, and from Oppeln to the Austrian frontier ; and a fifth, which is to connect the Grand Duchy of Posen with Prussia, through Silesia. Their whole extent will be 220 German miles. The Goverment was to contri bute 55,000,000 dollars (about 9,000,0001.) towards their construction, and to guarantee an Interest of 31 per cent. on the sums subscribed by private indi viduals. Hamburgll of th e 16 t h " The Leipsie G azette g i ves t h e f o llowing lett er f rom We have received intelligence from Rio Jurkiro that the Brazilian ves sel the Ermelinda, captured some time ago by Eng lish cruisers, has been declared by the Mixed Com mission not to be a good prize; and was released ac.. cordingly. The public officer whose duty it was to report on this matter, stated that the English, after they had possessiOn of the Errnelinda, carried secretly on board of her eh'ains and fetters, in order to afford proof that she was engaged in the slave-trade. On July 15th accounts were received at Rio Janeiro through St. Helena th a t th e E ng li s h ships Madagas car and Waterwitch had landed their crews at the port of Cabenda, on . the African coast, and carried • away by force the negroes and merchandise at those factories. In the night of the 21st (,f May the Eng lish made a similar attempt at Port Ambriz, and car ried away 1,200 negro e s to the A n till es . The cap tain of an American vessel from Angola confirmed this account, adding, that the factories were burnt down; In fact, according to the terms of the treaties, no vessel should be stopped within three miles from the coast, nor has any one a right to land on a foreign shore and destroy what may be found u on it." AMERICAN NEWS. The packet-ship Rochester, Captain Wood house, which. sailed from New York on the 4th i nst.,arrived at Liverpool on Thursday. The papers .brought by her are three days later than those previously received. They do not contain any United States news worth extracting. The money and stock markers remained without ma terial alteration, nor had the produce market undergone any change. The papers contain some brief allusions to Ca nadian affairs The following extract is from the Journal of Contynerce : " OANADA.—The Tories of Canada are, if possible, more furious in their denunciations of Governor .Bagot than are •the Whigs of the United States— i.e., many of them in their abuse of President Tyler. We are really afraid _that they (meaning the 'juries of Canada) will burst their boilers, in which ease there • is. no -knowing what might happen. The Toronto Patriot enumerates 20 Canadian papers which,' denounce the present Cabinet in no equivocal language.' • - •The same paper states that M. Girouard has declined the office tendered to him by the Gover nor. In • consequence of the new appointments so many -vacancies have. occurred in the Provincial Par liament; as to render a recess inevitable; consequently a prorogation is about to' take place for two or three nionths, and in the meantime the vacancies will be filled. At present,' says the Patriot, ' the new Ca binet possesses a large majority, and unbounded con fidence in its own durability: The editors add— " We look to the next Session of Parliament to as certain to afford the spectacle of Bills being pasmed by the House of Assembly, which—should a Legislative Council be cowardly or corrupt enough to sanction, unless swamped' by an infusion of fresh rebel blood into its still loyal veins—any representative of a Bri tish Sovereign, be he even a Lord Gosford or a Sir Charles bigot, dare not, for his head, assent to. "A Bill has been introduced into the Canadian Par • liament increasing the legal rate of interest to 8 per cent., except in the case of banks. These are re stricted to 6 per cent. " The House have voted to increase the capital of the Commercial and Upper Canada Banks to 500,000/. respectively." The dates from Texas are to the 11th ult., at which time that State was tranquil. Colonel Flockly had resigned the office of Secretary at War. There had been an arrival at New Orleans from Yucatan. .The Mexicans had not arrived off Campeachy, where active preparations were making to give the invaders a warm reception. It was feared, however, that the Mexicans would succeed in reducing the peninsula to obedience. COMMERCE OF QUEBEC. (From the Quebec Gazette.) The paralyzing effects of the late alteration in the duties on the staple commodity of the country, and its injurious consequences to the prosperity of the colony, are now beginning to be apparent in the comparative small amount of shipping that has visited us, and the trifling extent of the export of timber from Quebec during the present season. In connexion with this may be taken another very im portant branch of our commerce—the export of flour —in which we regret to state heavy losses have lat terly been sustained by those engaged in the business, exceeding, we are informed, the sum of 100,0001. during the present season. As a proof of the ruinous sacrifices to which the export of this article is sub ject at the present time, we subjoin the following statement furnished us by a mercantile gentleman on whose experience and veracity we can place . the strictest reliance : Statement of expense of shipping a barrel of flour to England, and the probable loss to the shipper, calculated at the present prices of the English and Montreal markets : s. d. Highest prices of Canada fine in Liverpool . 26 6 Freight to Liverpool Duty Insurance Commission Incidental charges s. d. 6 3 0 0 9 1 2 1 7-10 0 16 6 Exchange in Liverpool, say 9 per cent. p. Sterling. ....... . 18 6 Currency ... 20 0 Taking the present rate of flour in the Montreal Market, as stated, at 245., the loss incurred per barrel on exportation of the article at this time would there fore be 4s. Losses of this description, although ap parently falling only upon individuals, must materially operate against the country, and either directly or in directly will ultimately be felt by all classes of the community ; while the only gainers by the traffic are our neighbours on the other side of the line, who sup ply the principal part of the grain used in the manu facture of the article.

CATCHING A TARTAR.—On Saturday evening last, a certain butcher in this town, not better known for the whiteness of his apron and the general goodness of his meat than for the high price which he usually de mands, was standing in his shop, when a man in a smock-frock accosted him with " Can you cut me a beef-steak ?" " Yes," replied the man of suet. The man then turned over the various joints, and after ask ing the price of this and that, the butcher felt his dig nity rather insulted by the smock-frock gent., and sig nificantly said—" Why don't you buy all in the shop?" and gave a wink at his boy. " What ?" saysthe other. " Wh v," repeated the. butcher. "don't you buy all in the shop ?" " Well," rep li e d t h e man, " what do you want for it?' The butcher said with a sneer, " you shall clear • the lot for five pounds !" " Agreed," said the other, and lifting up his smock frock, pro. duced a canvass bag from his pocket, counted out five sovereigns, and emptied the shop of all the meat it contained, including two gammons of bacon, and the contents of the suet drawer, to the amazement of the butcher and the no less satisfaction of the man, who conveyed away upwards of ten pounds worth of meat, which he afterwards disposed of at from 2id. to 4d. a pound amongst the "mobility" who wish they may have many more such chances of purchasing good meat at a low price.— Wiltshire Independent. SUMMAR', OF NEWS AND (ievitturt, " Who runs may read." Z'OItI3IGBT. It was falsely reported on the Bourse on Wednes day that the King of the French was ill.

The Toulonnais of the 23d inst. announces the arrival at Toulon, in the evening of the 23d, of M. Dupuch, Bishop of Algiers, with the relics of St. Augustin. The procession crossed the town, by the light of torches, and the grand ceremony, which wrs to have taken place on that day, was postponed until the next. The Archbishop of Bordeaux, the Bishops of Chalon, Digne, Valence, Marseilles, Nevers, and Frejus, and the entire clergy of Toulon and the vicinity, accompanied the procession. The Augsburg Gazette, of the 22d inst., states that the King of Bavaria, in laying the first stone of the Monument erected at Kelheim in memory of the establishment of the national independence, pro nounced the following remarkable words :—" Let us never forget what preceded the war of independence, and created the necessity for it, and which gave us the victory. Let us banish all dissensions, and never for get to honour the memory of the heroes who fell fighting for their country. Germany united is in vincible." A letter from Stockholm, Oct. 11, in the Augsburg Gazette, states that the Russian Government has no tified to the Swedish Cabinet, by the medium o: its Ambassador, that for the future, Swedish and Nor wegian vessels are to enjoy in Russian ports the same privileges as Russian vessels, and are to be subjected to no higher duties.

William - Williams, Esq., M.P., in addressing the citizens of Coventry on Tuesday last, made a remark on the comparative cost of Governments, stating that Switzerland was governed so cheaply that the taxes of the people hardly exceeded in amcunt the munici pal taxes imposed by the corporation of Coventry. In Prussia, the population of which was about equal to that of England and Wales, the Government cost seven millions. The Government of the United States, with a population greater than England and Scotland, cost five millions ; whereas, the taxes paid by the peo ple of this country, including highway-rates, Church rates, tithes, county-rates, poor-rates, and the taxes paid to the corn monopolists and West India mono polists, amounted at least to one hundred millions annually. . _ Corn-stalks in Indiana are now found to produce a very good molasses : eight gallons of juice from them produces about two of molasges.

Suspicious circumstances, it will be remembered, attached to the account given by a person named Wolff, of his being robbed of a box of diamonds o`' the value of 9,0001. at Covent-garden Theatre. He has since been arrested at Brussels, at the suit of a gentleman in London, to whom he is indebted up wards of 1,0001.; • and it is reported that he is other wise largely in debt : a searching investigation will no doubt take place. It is also stated that the Vogles, his nephews, are gone to Brussels.

The elephant was har nessed with a huge collar and traces, after the manner horses are usually harnessed. It was singular to see the stupendous beast thrusting his trunk first on one side and then on the other, in search of, and receiv ing fruit from the crowd that accompanied him, while he was pursuing his way apparently wholly uncon scious of the burden he was drawing. Dr. Charming, she celebrated essayist, we regret to say, is at Binningtou in the State of Vermont, in an exceedingly debilitated state.---New York Paper.
