THE QUARTER'S REVENUE. The Revenue Returns for the financial year, ending the sth of January instant, will be found in another part of our impression. A steady and progressive improvement is apparent in the more important items, more especially in those which are generally looked upon Its indicating the national prosperity a n d th e degree of comfort enjoyed by the industrious classes. It is indeed satisfactory to find the national finances in so favourable a condition after a year of such ex citement and turmoil as that which has just elapsed. When the great majority of European nations were convulsed with intestine commotions—when so many thrones were shaken to their very foundation, and when the tumults and disturbances that prevailed on every side had disarranged the finances of the Con tinent, and occasioned the most deplorable deficiencies in the national balance-sheets, we might be well contented if we had merely maintained our former position, and were not compelled to record a considerable deficit. It is, however, our pleasing duty to announce an improvement both on the year and quarter—on the former of 1,533,957/. ; on the latter of 686,8271., which has chiefly taken place under the heads of Customs and Excise. In the Customs there is an increase on the year of 914,0621., and on the quarter of 570,5331. The quarter ending January 5, 1848, was, however, one of great depression. The panic that had existed in the money market, and the general stagnation of trade and commerce, greatly reduced the importations into the country. Every effort was also made to Qbtain payment for our goodi in specie, and not in other merchandize. Gold should be obtained at any sacrifice, and hence the duties paid into the Exchequer were considerably below the average amount. The duties on the importation of corn had also been suspended, which were in opera tion during the past quarter, we are happy to say, almost for' the last time. The improvement does not, therefore, afford so much ground for unalloyed grati fication as might otherwise have been the case. The total receipts under this head were, for the year, against 18,015,2951. last ye ar , f or the 18,929,330/., quarter, 4, 68 9 3 951 ./ against 4,111,862/. i n th e cor responding quarter of las, year. In the Excise, the actual receipts for the year amounted to 12,832,140/. against 11,730,7461., and on the quarter, 3,253,1621. against 3,246,883/. ; there is, therefore, an increase on the year of 1,101,3941., and on the quarter of 6,279/. It must, however, be borne in mind that the carriage duties and other credits, Which were formerly included under the head of " Stamps," have been transferred to the Ex cise within the past year. A considerable part of the improvement may be accounted for in t his manner; we must, therefore, be prepared to look for a large deficit in the stamps, occasioned partly by the alteration in the manner of taking the accounts to which we have just alluded, and partly by the decrease of speculation, and the caution that existed, which materially reduced the amount of discounts. " Stamps" then for the year, produced 6,110,848/. against 6,959,546/. last year—and for the quarter 1,472,5981. against 1,564,8551., thus exhibiting a fall ing off of 848,6981. on the year, and 92,257/, on the quarter. Taxes show a small improvement on the quarter of 6,2301., but a deficit of 19,8571. on the year. The pro perty-tax presents the worst feature in the present return. The amount for the year had sunk to 5,347,3651, and for the quarter to 424,4341., showing a decrease of 103,4351. on the year, and of 38,133/. the quarter• This lamentable change on the quarter proves that there has been a diminution in the re sources of those possessed of incomes amounting to 1501. per annum and upwards of more than 5,000,000/. a year. This ho of course fatien almcst exclusively on merchants, traders, and professional men, and leads to the most painful re flections as to the melancholy changes, which must have fallen on the prospects of many families, once in the enjoyment of comfort and affluence. The middle classes are the chief sufferers. In the Post-office there has been a decrease on the year and quarter of 88,0001. and 10,0001. respectively. Great improvements have, however, been effected in HE' SUN, aLgff' s ' ,4 ` " Tout pour la France ! " This must be their motto. Such, indeed, should be the motto of all rulers. Everything for the country ! It is a motto which rulers would do well frequently to call to mind. This truth is being just now impressed upon the rulers of Christendom in a manner which they will not very easily forget. The coronation formula of the ancient Arragonnese contained an admirable exposition of a governor's duties. " We, who are as good as you," said these independent electors, " make you - our King, to pro tect our laws—if not—not." The Arragonnese had a correct notion of what constitutes the right divine of Kings. Everything, for the country ! This is the watchword which alone can restore tranquillity among the several nations of Europe. The people of each kingdom, troubling themselves as little as possible with foreign affairs, must each concentrate their energies on the amelioration of their own country. Everything for the country ! This is a warning cry, which may be profitable in our own kingdom likewise. During this stormy year we have been almost too much en grossed with the wonderful events daily transpiring abroad. Secure in the consciousness of their own freedom, the people of England have watched with eager and heartfelt interest the struggles of other nations to obtain similar privileges. This was natural and, indeed, unavoidable. The contemplation, however, should not be without its profit. Let us tura now to the consideration of our own country's necessities, with that sentence ringing in our ears and finding an echo in our hearts— Everything for the country 1 It is not for us to boast—although our constitutional superiority is al most universally recognised—it is not for us to boast. Our boasting would be drowned by the groans of our suffering poor. While crowds of savage and starving children, such as the creature who defied the power of the "Haunted Man," roam through our thoroughfares —while the noisome cellar, the ill-ventilated alley, and the deluged hovel contain their suffering thousands— while treasures are lavished for the punishment of vice, and comparatively nothing for its prevention— while one end of the social chain grovels in miserable prostration—let us not boast. Tiue it is, and thank Gob it is true, many attempts have already been made, many good measures have been initiated for the amelioration of these evils. But who will venture to deny that immeasureably more must be done ? Now that a new session is drawing near, the public will do well to think upon these things, which concern them infi nitely more than the question of who is Minister in France, or what is doing by the King of PRUSSIA. We admit, nevertheless, that the affairs of one nation do concern another. Any improvement effected, or any act of tyranny inflicted on the one, will indirectly, or a long while afterwards, affect the other. But if the family of nations be thus connected by a community of interest, how much more powerful are the links that bind together the various members of one nation— "Where less or greater sot so justly true, 7 hat touching one must strike the other too, Till jarring interests of themselves create Th' according music of a well. mixed State." Without in anywise deprecating the great interest taken by the people of this country in foreign affairs, we would conjure them also to look at home. We would conjure them to echo, as well u to admire, the patriotic exclamation of JEROME BONAPARTE— " Everything for the country 1" We yesterday published the reply of Mr. GLAD* STORE, the respected President of the Liverpool Re form Association to the letter of Major-General Sir WILLIA M NAPIER impeaehing * the correctness of the fourth tract published by the association, which ap peared in our columns on the 29th ultimo. The Gal lant General appeared to feel deeply what he con ceived to be a grievous insult to himself and such of his brethren in arms as have attained the rank of re gimental colonels. He accordingly used language which we have no doubt on more mature consideration he will feel to have been more warm than the occasion required, and which he will him self be the first to regret. The object of the asso ciation was manifestly to point out the defects in the present l-n system , and the impropriety of r en d er i ng t h e o the party to provide clothi ng f or the soldiers of the regiment, and not to east an y colonel-in -chie f e iri e p putations upon the personal honour in these a situations.ndintegrityof the veterans who are of official corruption, which It is one of the relics w of e w th o e uld ol g d lad s l y y Ble se m e p p swept away. In former days the p u l b ai l n in a offi nd e s e t r Ti b g y h straight forward course of roviding for a Single payment, was avoided in every possible man ner.w I n place of fixing a fair salary equivalent to the duties which to be performed, d ; a bsymavlalrsiouums was nominally given, fees and emo luments to th e contemplated amount, and in the ma jority of in s t ances very far beyond it. It was a part of the general system which pervaded every department of the State. Latterly many improve ments have taken place, and fixed salaries have in a great many instances been substituted for payment by ties or emoluments. We would gladly see the alter4ion extended to military clothing. Far better that the colonel of a regiment, whose situation is ad mittedly a sinecure—intended as a reward fur the past services of distinguished and meritorious officers —should receive the amount to which he was conceived entitled, than that his profits should be made up by an item in every 1 this department, and additi ona l f ac iliti es b een afforded for the transmission of corresi ondence, which fully accounts for the decrease of the net revenue. In the Crown Lands there has been a small im provement of 4,0001. on the year, but a falling off of 10,0001. on the quarter; while, in the Miscellaneous the improvement is on the quarter to the extent of 1 9,9631., and a falling off in the year of 83,7601. The above exhibit the changes that have taken place in the ordinary branches of the revenue, which indi cate the general state of the national finances. We therefore find that there have been improvements under these heath of 2,019,4561., and reductions to the extent of 1,143,7511., and on the quarter increases, amounting to 593,0051., and reductions to 150,3901. The extraordinary items under the several heads of " China Money," " Imprest, and other Moneys," and " Repayments of Advances" all show con siderable improvements on the quarter, which add to the increase, making it amount in the whole to 837,2171., or, after deducting the deficiencies, to 686,8271. On the whole, the returns to which we have alluded afford good grounds for congratulation, and lead us to hope that the country will gradually arrive at more prosperous days than those we have witnessed during the last two years. The Hotel des Invalides witnessed an impressive sight on Thursday last, when in the presence of the last relics of the grande armee, JERoME BONAPARTE, the only surviving brother of the EMPEROR, assumed the post of Governor of the Invalides and Custodian of the ashes of NAPOLEON. During the past year we have been so frequently reminded in some marvellous manner of the vicissitudes of human life, that even this event may be regarded as an ordinary occur rence. After the changes we have already con templated, it seems hardly matter of astonishment that an individual born in obscurity should, in the prime of manhood, find himself invested with a regal crown, and that a member of the most remarkable family in the world should be almost instan taneously hurled from his high elevation, and become a wandering exile during many years, find ing himself at last, in his old age, uncle to the Chief Governor of his native country, and guardian of the tomb of an imperial brother. Such has been the history of JEROME BONAPARTE. May his last years be as peaceful as their predecessors have been eventful ! The brief address of the new Governor of the Invalides on assuming his dignity was worthy of the occasion—it was truly patriotic and republican. "The EMPEROR," said he, " owed much to France, but his family owe him much more. They will never forget that having sprung from the People, there is no sacrifice too great for them when it can serve the People. Allons mes amis ! Let us cry from the bottom of our hearts, ' Vice la France! Tout pour la France ! Ricn que par la France!'" By acting in accordance with such senti ments, and only by so doing, the Bonaparte family will prove themselves worthy of their name and of the occasion which has again called them to rule in France. Lownom SATURDAY respect so objectionable, tin which his private interests are opposed to the interests of the soldiers under his command, and which by a possibility may expose him to degrading suspicions. Better that the unclean thing should not be approached, than that men even of the most unquestionable honour should be exposed to the temptation, and expected to " touch pitch without being defiled." As matters now stand, it is regarded in the several regiments as a legitimate source of emolument, for which in some instances compensation has been ac corded. The claim has thus been recognised in the highest quarter. It is returned to Parlia ment as a portion of the receipts—the " emo luments," in the majority of instances, ex ceeding the pay very considerably. While the system is thus tolerated and recognised, when it is held out to candidates for the situation, as fairly belonging thereto, we cannot censure those who avail themselves thereof, and look upon the " emolu ments" in the same light as the " pay," and consider that they may receive the one with as little com punction as the other. In attacking the system, therefore, in stating that officers of high standing receive those sums, there was no desire to " insult or vilify" those gentlemen, or to insinuate that they were guilty of dishonest or improper conduct. Sir WILLIAM NAPIER, however, mani festly regarded the matter in a different point of view, and supposed that he was vindicating cha racters that should be and were perfectly unimpeach able. This mistake accounts for the heated tone of his letter. The real object of the association will now, however, be apparent, and most heartily do we hope that they will succeed in removing the abuse to which we have alluded, and the many others which they are exposing with such determined energy and persever ance, and laying them bare in all their naked enormity. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC We have received the Pari• papers of yesterday -- - - - The attempt of M. DB FALLOUX, the Minister of Public Instruction, and one of the most influential members of the Parti Pretre, to withdraw the organic law on public instruction which had been proposed by the bureau of the National Assembly, in order to substitute for it another which should give larger powers of interference with schools and universities to the priests, gave rise to a very animated discussion in the Assembly on Thursday. At the sitting of the Assembly the Minister of Public Instruction said he had to propose the with drawal of the Bill on Primary Instruction presented by M. Carnot, as it contained principles in which the Government did not coincide. He had in lieu thereof instituted a commission to prepare a new Bill. He eulogised the labours of the late Committee, and said it did not depend on him that the withdrawal of the Bill should involve the dissolution of the Committee appointed by the Assembly ; but what did depend on him was to appeal to the ability and information to be found in the Assembly, and that he had done. M. Barthelemy St. Hilaire said that, as President of the Committee named by the Assembly, he wished to state that it had laboured very assiduously in its task, and had almost produced a complete code of pri mary instruction ; and that he was much surprised at seeing the report of the Hon. Minister in the lifoniteur. The Minister should have inquired in what position the labours of the Committee were. However, the Assembly was the party concerned, who had to decide if it will not take up the Bill pre pared by its Committee. The Bill on Public In struction was marked down as one of the organic laws. What would the Assembly do ? According to cus tom and precedent it ought to nominate a Committee in the bureaux to prepare that Bill. The Minister of Public Instruction denied having any idea of raising up a conflict bAween the As sembly and the Government. The Assembly in. eluded public instruction among the organic laws; it was its right to do so, but surely it had no in tention of depriving the Ministry of personal opinion. That opinion they were entitled to have, and he had therefore appointed a commission. He was sur prised to find that prerogative contested. He had no idea of leading to any conflict; he had remained within the limits of constitutional right, and had not gone beyond his duty. M. Iteppelin said he thought, when he saw the re port in the Moniteur, that the design of the Govern ment was to deprive the Assembly of its faculty of voting the organic law on public instruction. The Minister had said he did not wish to raise a conflict ; but that conflict did exist, de facto, as the Assembly had decided it would vote the law; and as the Assem bly ought to maintain its dignity, he moved that the question be referred to the bureaux. The President of the Council remarked that it was a serious thing to have a conflict of privileges between two sovereign powers. (This remark was met by cries of " There is but one sovereign power.") He had weighed his words and spoke constitutionally when he spoke of two constitutional powers. There ought to be no uncer tainty. Constitutional powers should be respected, but not exaggerated. If it was wished to take from the Executive some of its constitutional attributions, and to reduce it to the part of a subordinate and revocable Ministry, let it be at once frankly confessed, and let those who would do so confess their convic tion, and take the responsibility of being the first to lay their hands on the new Constitution. The Hon. Gentleman then, amid much interruption, maintained the right of the Ministry to act in the manner they had done, and concluded by calling on the Assembly to respect the right which the Ministry had exercised, and not to indirectly stigmatise the use of that right. There were only two modes by which Bills could reach the Assembly, either by the initiative of the Executive power, or by that of Members of the As sembly, in the forms established by law. He would call on them not to order a direct reference to the bureaux, which would be tantamount t o a repr i man d of the linistry for the exercise of a constitutional right. ICI. Dupont (de Bussac) said that the view taken of the question by the President of the Council did not apply to the present case. The Hon. Gentleman had forgotten that there was a third initiative result. ing from the decree relative to the organic laws. He hoped the Assembly would manifest its feelings in the act which had that morning been revealed in the Moniteur. A lengthened discussion followed amid much interruption. At the conclusion— The President said—M. Dupont has presented the following order of the day motive, " The Assembly alone has the right to name commissions charged with the task of examining bills." Loud calls were raised for the order of the day pure and simple. The President then put the order of the day pure and simple, and the following was the result of the division : Yes No 442 302 Majority • • • • -140 The order of the day was consequently carried. M. Duprat then demanded that there be placed on the order of the day for to-morrow the nomination of a Committee to prepare the organic law on public instruction. The President stated that he had already fixed to morrow for that purpose. The Minister of Public Instruction said he had no objection to make. As the order of the day which the Assembly had just voted established fully the right of the Government, he could not object to the proposition of the Hon. Gentleman being carried into effect to guarantee that of the Assembly. Differences of a serious character exist between the Ministers and the PRESIDENT of the Republic, the latter is surrounded by irresponsible councillors, a Camarilla in fact, by whose advice he acts without consulting his Ministers, more especially in the disposal of patronage. He gives to the Camarilla the power of appointing to all places, and when an ap pointment is recommended by the Ministry, if the name proposed is not to be found in the list of " eligibles" furnished to the Prince by the Camarillo, the PRESIDENT refuses to make the appointment. This system extends even to diplomatic appointments and to high offices of state and justice. If this system is permitted to continue we may ere long expect ano ther Teste or Petit affair, for of course an irrespon sible Camarilla does not recommend to appointments except " for a consideration." The PRESIDENT too, has assumed the royal prerogative of pardon, and has, without the knowledge of his responsible Minis ters, ordered the liberation of some of the most dangerous of the insurgents of June, among whom are many escaped galley slaves. These men, on their liberation, became so riotous and so threaten ing, that the National Guard was called out in one of the towns through which they passed en route for Paris, to prevent them from sacking and burning the place. The Patric has the following on the subject of the Austro-Italian conferences " The Monileur announces that M. de Lagrenee is appointed Minister Plenipotentiary charged to represent France at Brussels in the conferences for the settlement of the Italian question. M. de Lagrenee is to leave very soon, and he has orders to commence negotiations. We know, on the other hand, that Tuscany has named its representative; it is M. Radice. Notwithstanding these two appointments, and the assuraucagiven by the Constitutionnel that the Marquis do Ricci will have a successor in the congress of Brucsels, we persist in thinking that the congress will be without result, and for these reasons:—Austria is less desirous than ever of the congress. She has just suspended the departure of , EVENING, JANUARY 0, MM. M. de Colleredo, *ho was at first designed to be present at the congress.

The overdue bills are short of half a million of francs, but the protested bills are nearly 11,000,000 f. in Paris, and upwards of 5,000,000 f. in the branches. The bills running due are 57,680,793 f. in Paris, and 106,386,380 f. in the departments. The amount of notes is nearly 405,000,000 E, and in the branches 16,567,1751. The sum to the credit of the Treasury is 19,204,335 f.; the private lodgment accounts nearly 83,000,000 f. ; and in the branches 26,500,0001. . . _ The National Assembly yesterday proceeded to the election of its Vice-Presidents and Secretaries.

Drouyn de l'llhuys, now Minister of Foreign Affairs. A sharp contest took place, not less than three ballots being proceeded to. On the third, M. de Mornay was elected by 20 votes, to 17 given to M. Bastide. M. Aylies was named vice-president, and M. de Heckeren and M. Edmond Lafayette, secretaries. During the course of the sitting M. FROUSSARD put some questions to the Minister with respect to the cries of " Title l'Empereur," raised by several of the Invalides at the installation of General JEROMB BONAPARTE as Governor, to which M. ODILON BARROT made a brief reply, treating the affair as a matter of no importance. M. MONTESSUY is appointed ambassador to the Hague. M. DE BOISSY is, it is said, to be appointed Minister to Florence, and not ambassador to Naples, as had at first been intended. The PRESIDENT of the Republic went to the opera on Wednesday evening. He occupied the box of the late Duke of ORLEANS, and was accompanied by the Marquis of NORMANDY, General CHANGARNIER, M. EDGAR NET, and several aides-de-camp. The box immediately opposite to him was occupied by M. THURS. M. Dumox, one of the ex Ministers of Louis Pnirappx, has arrived in Paris, from London.

It was said that there were 11 battalions in the town. On the other hand General Concha, who had been detained by indis position at La Garriga, was to set out on the 25th for the same place.

Accounts from Frankfort to the 2d, in the Cologne Gazette, state that the clubs have resumed their regular sittings. Those of the Left have resolved, in the event of the rejection of the proposals relative to a Directory or the establishment of a temporary central power, to abstain from voting at all on the proposal for electing an Emperor for life. They are endeavouring to secure the acquiescence of the Aus trian clubs. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was firm. Sales 5,000 bales. During the week the advance in prices has been d. to ,-rl. per lb., and there has been a good deal of speculation. The Railway Share Market at Liverpool yesterday was rather dull, but without alteration in prices. the weekly account of the Bank of England to the 30th ultimo, there is a :ati4actory indication of increased activity in trade, the active circulation being lor g er, and the amount of unemployed notes smaller. The metallic reserves are rather smaller, probably from the same cause as that which has affected the circulation, and the other securities have increased. The Public Deposits had no doubt attained their maximum for the present quarter, and will henceforth be in decline, owing to the official and dividend pay ments. As the Government Securities increased, it is to be inferred that the Bank advanced upon deficiency bills or stock. The comparison with the previous week is as follows— Notes Issurd 253,226,595 Increase ... 41,800 ... 3,382,800 ••• 2,498 ... 8,598,118 26,055 ... 8,871,435 79,638 ... 972,112 ••• 4,657 ... 13,594,518 Rest Increase ...

General DIIHAMEL has instituted a Commission at 13ucbarest, composed exclusively of Russian officers, for the purpose of inquiring into the circumstances attending the recent revolution, and of punishing those concerned in it. The Turkish authorities have protested against this assumption of sovereignty on the part of Russia. ITALY. The Genoa Gazette of the 30th says:— " No sooner was the protest of the Pope placarded in Rome than it was torn down. The Chambers are in such a state of disorganization, that it is probable they will soon completely cease to exist. The Junta of State and the Ministry have met to take those measures which the gravity of the circumstances demands." The Contemporaneo, of Dec. 27, states that the Supreme Junta of Rome has addressed a note to the Ministry, recommending them to convoke a Consti tuent Asseubly, seeing that that measure was loudly , called for by the will of the people. The Junta de clares that it accepted power on the understanding that this would be done ; and it is afraid that, if it should not be done, a revolutionary movement is imminent, which may throw the country into a state of anarchy, and separate the provinces from the capital; and the Junta calls on the Ministry to pre sent to the Chamber a project of law for the convoca tion of the Constituent Assembly. The Ministry acted on this note, and presented a project of law accordingly to the Chamber of Depu ties, who decreed that it should be promulgated. It consists of fifteen articles, and explains the mode of election, and qualification of the members and elec tors. The elections are to be by electoral colleges. This Bill for the summoning of a Constituent. As sembly at Rome, as presented to the Roman Parlia ment on the 26th ultimo, proposed to enact that the election to the Assembly should take place on the 25th instant, by universal suffrage and ballot; that the Assembly should be of two hundred members, paid at the rate of two crowns a day, without pro perty qualification ; and, finally, that the Assembly should meet at Rome on the sth of next month. The accounts from Rome of the 27th (one day later) state that the Legislative Chambers were on the eve of dissolution, and it was thought that they would thereby declare the cessation of their powers. This is precisely the denouement arrived at by the Democratic party. The Junta and the Mi nistry were deliberating respecting the course to be adopted. RADETSKY has refused to grant any more pass ports for Piedmont, and it is said that even postal communications between Lombardy and Piedmont will shortly be suspended. The Nazionale of Florence, of the 27th, quotes a letter, which says that a certain number of Piedmon tese had entered Parraca and driven away the Tuscans. This is one of the towns of which Tuscany and Piedmont have disputed the possession, but it was supposed that the Piedmontese Ministry was ignorant of the act in question. By decree, dated the 30th ult., the King of SAR DINIA dissolves the Chamber of Deputies, orders new elections on the 15th instant, and convokes the new Parliament for the 23d. THE PENINSULAR MAIL.

THE FUNERAL OF Tlll EARL OF AUCKLAND.— (Tins DAr.)—The mortal remains of the Right Honourable the Earl of Auckland were shortly after ten o'clock removed from the official residence at the Admiralty, to their final resting place, Beckenham, Kent. The funeral cortege consisted of a man carry ing the 'plume, a hearse drawn by six horses, three mourning coaches drawn by four horses, and the private carriage of the dec ea s e d Earl. The coffin containing the remains was covered with crimson velvet, the furniture being gilt. Contrary to the usual custom, neither the hearse nor the furniture of the horses exhibited the escutcheon of the deceased nobleman. Before the arrival of the corpse at Becken ham' the procession will be joi ne d b y th e re l at i ves of the deceased, who will accompany the remains to their final resting place. As the deceased nobleman at the time of his death held the office of First Lerd of the Admiralty, the men-of-war and the other vessels of her Majesty's navy, by an order from the Admiralty, hoisted the ensign half-mast high, while the numerous vessels in the river, the upper and lower pool, down to Long-reach, paid a similar mark of respect on the melancholy occasion. HEALTH OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.—.-We regret to learn that his Grace the Duke of Wellington has been suffering from the effects of a severe cold at Strathfieldsaye. DEATH OF MR. PRYSE, M.P.—A correspondent at Carmarthen, writing on the 4th inst., says—" Mr. Pryse Pryse, for thirty years M.P. for the Cardigan Boroughs, is just dead. Mr. Williams, of Coventry, is spoken of as hi s successor , an d i s lik e ly to be elected." LICENSED VICTUALLERS' ASYLUM.—Yesterday a general half-yearly court of the governors of this insti tution was held, pursuant to the provisions of the Act of Incorporation at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields. The chair was taken by Mr. James Raven, the president, and there was a numerous attendance of governors. The auditors' account having been received and adopted, Mr. Jones, the secretary, read a detailed statement of the proceedings of the corporation for the past year. The annual subscriptions amounted to 1,704/. 75., showing a deficiency of 481. 25., when compared with the preceding year. In every other source of income there had been an increase. The ball had realised a profit of 81/. 18s. 9d.; the fancy fair, 253/. ls. Bd.; the dinner, 201. 6s. During a period of great commercial difficulty, the board had been enabled to discharge every liability, place 250/. out at interest, at 5 per cent., and had a balance of 271. 2s. 3d. in the hands of their bankers. The society had, at the end of the year, 7,3041. 19s. 9d. invested in Consols, and 2,5001. in the hands of the large brewing firms, for which 5 per cent. interest was allowed. The committee and trustees for the ensuing year were appointed, and the other formal business having been disposed of, the proceedings termi nated in a vote of thanks to the Chairman. The accounts from llavre - iesterday state that the Cotton Market bad again become active, giving to the termination of the fetes. On Tuesday the sales com prised 1,200 bales, at a trifling rise upon the prices of Saturday, and on Wednesday the market was firm with equal activity. One great cause of the buoyancy of the market is attributable to the small stock on hand. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. It was reported in Vienna that the high aristocracy of Hungary had entered into negotiations with the Austrians for the betrayal of the national cause. KOSSUTH was at Pesth, watch e d b y t h e em i ssar i es of the aristocracy, who are anxious to deliver him int) the hands of the Auatrian.s. After the captuse• of Presburg, Prince Wm:ascii- GRATZ ordered the Austrian standard to be displayed To this some Hungarians objected, and the Field- Marshal answered—" The Hungarians have them selves declared the pragmatic sanction abolished. They cannot, consequently, be surprised that Austria should agree to that, and henceforth treat Hungary, like Bohemia, as a province of the mo narchy.' The ex-Hungarian Minister, Prince PAUL ESTER.. is, it is said, to be a p po i nte d A m b assa d or to ro2on. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Schleswig Assembly m e t on th e 27th, an d co mpleted their session on the 30th ult. They had been convoked for the purpose of authorising the Government to continue to receive taxes. At the close of the first day's sitting, 'the President commu nicated a letter from the Imperial Commissioner STEDMANN to the general Government, in which, in reply to the proclamation of the King of DENMARK, the Central Power recognises the genera l Govern ment as the legitimate Government i n S c hl esw i g - Holstein during the term of the armistice, and reserves to itself to come to an understanding with the other great Powers on the subject of the recent steps taken by Denmark. The sketch of th e t ar iff f or custom discussion, and refer re d t o a comm i ttee. budget .committee gave in their report, upon d whichue dues, h as proposed by F ran kf ort, was brought under various .. interrogations were m a d e respec ti ng T e the expenditure in the various departments, incurred by the late war. The Ministers, however, reserved their reply. The Assembly th en vo t e d th e b u d get t ill March, and adjourned till that time, with the under standing that an earlier meeting should take place if necessary. The Danish Government, in a semi-official article in the Berlinge Zeitung, explains the assembling of the troops in Alsen as a p reven ti ve measure , j us tifi e d b y the relative circumstance s , and protests against all re ports which gave any other character to these assem blages, or impute to th em warlike moti ves an d th e intention 'of seizing Schleswig. The Government has doubtless plac e d th e ma tt er i n i ts proper light beforeits friendly and allied powers, as well as before the central power at Frankfort, and these Govern ments will have recognised the expediency of the measure. The Berlinge Zeitung justifies the occu pation of Alsen and Arder, again inserts the note of the Danish Minister for Foreign Affairs to the am bassador of the central power, expresses the convic tion that every country, except Germany, approves of this oc cupat i on, an d b e li eves that the Ministry of the central power who have just gone out will acknow ledge th e necess i ty o f th e measure, which will doubt less m ee t w i t h pu bli c a pp ro val, both at Vien na an d Berlin. Th e C ham b er l a in is gone to Berli n , ac cording to the Berlinge Zeitung, on a special mission to effect th e s p ee dy payment of the indemnification i i money coming to Denmark for the requisition of the Prussian and federal troops in Jutland. On the Ist of January Prince WINDISCHGRATE transmitted to the Governer of Vienna a dispatch from the BAN of Croatia, reporting the rencontre of the BAN'S division with a troop of Hungarians, commanded by General PEROZEL. Being informed of the presence of General PEROZEL'S forces in the vicinity of Moor, Baron JELLACIIICII marched on the 29th ultimo from Kis-ber upon Moor, where he found the Hungarians, about 10,000 men, in division i s 23,000 men strong ; nevertheless an advantageous position. Baron JELLACHICH'S he thou g ht it advisable to wait for some reinforcements. At length he ordered the Hunga rians to be attacked by the brigade of Grammont, and by the Wallmoden Cuirassiers, who, with General OrriNcza, had joined him from the corps d'armee of Prince INDISCHGRATZ. The Wallmoden Cuiras siers forc e d th e en emy's position, and captured s ix pieces of artill e ry and a good many prisoners. (The bulletin mentions several thousands.) The Hunga rians upon this commenced their retreat, which they effect e d i n goo d or d er i n th e di rec t ion o f Stuhlweis senburg. BELGIUM. The Journal de Bruxelles says—" We have re ceived information from London, which may be of the greatest importance to us if it is carried into effect. It is, that Lord JoHN RUSSELL intends to brin g a Bill into Parliament laying a duty of five shillings a quarter on foreign wheat.

The official statement of imports and exports, for the month ending the sth December, contrasts favourably with the return of previous months. Still, upon the year, there is a decrease of over five millions in our exports. If we must admit the fact in evidence as show ing reduction in our trade, we may concurrently draw the reasonable conclusion that there will be a better opening this year in foreigu markets, which cannot be glutted. The accounts received from Belgium and Germany this morning state that trade was improving. Transfers have been made to-day in Consols, and without affecting to any extent the previous values. The present quotations are 881 to 89 for Money, and after being 891, they are now 881 1 for Account. The intelligence by the French mail is not altogether satisfactory, and it is feared that an early dissolution of the Ministry must occur.
