FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.—One of the most obvious benefits which the nation has a right to expect and demand from the Government, as the consequence of restored peace, is relief from the burdens which were imposed in order to meet the increased expenses occasioned by war — especially if the treaty of peace secure the payment to this country of a sum which, with the amount re ceived from the extraordinary impost, not only meets the additional expenses incurred by the war, but also the deficiency in the Exchequer arising from every other cause of defalcation. This, then, is the case we undertake to establish. If we suc ceed, all pretence for continuing the Income-tax beyond the current year is removed. That most iniquitous and obnoxious tax—the oppression and annoyances of which have been denounced alike strongly by the Tory and Whig journals—will have received its death-blow. The 10th of October next will be the close of its infamous career. We take, then, for the purposes of our argument, Sir Robert Peel's estimate of the deficiency for which, on the 11 th of March last, when proposing the Income-tax, he was called on to provide. Sir Robert Peel then took credit for " making a full and fair statement" of the financial difficulties of the country. Let the Right Hon. Baronet, however, take the benefit of his own " full" exposition. The deficiency was 7,502,000/. ; the estimated deficiency for 1843, was 2,570,000/. ; the latter sum, of course will, by the termination of the Chinese and Indian wars, be very considerably reduced. Taking, however, this, greatly overrated estimate of the expenditure for 1843, the entire amount to be provided for is 10,720,0001. a sum which is nearly covered by the five millions to be paid by the Chinese Government, and the five mil lions which will be produced by the first year's Income-tax. The reduction in the Army and Navy Estimates will, of course, be considerable. The impulse given to trade and manufactures by the opening of the Chinese markets to British produce, and the consequent ability of the long unemployed manufacturing population of this coun try to purchase something like an adequate proper• tion of the articles of general consumption, on which the national revenue depends to a considerable extent for its receipts—these obvious and indis putable sources of increase, with the certainty of a large diminution:ln the estimates which will be required for the naval and military services, will relieve the Exchequer on the one hand, and replenish it on the other. The deficiency is thus met—and the appre- hension of a recurrence of such a state of things is re moved. We have only to advert to the strong assur ance given by the Duke of Wellington in the House of Lords during the debates on the Income-tax Bill in that assembly, to satisfy the country that nothing more is necessary than for a strong demonstration of public opinion to be made against this vexatious and oppressive tax, to secure its abandonment by the Go vernment at the close of its first year's operation : " We are aware," said his Grace, speaking in the name of the Government, " of the odious nature of the powers given to the Commissioners and others ap pointed to carry out its provisions, and to whom it must be entrusted, and we reconcile it only to our selves by the strong necessity of the case. My Lords, nothing but the necessity of the case—nothing but the certainty that no other course could be taken which would produce a revenue to enable us to meet the difficulties of the country, or to take those measures which may be necessary for its prosperity, could havr induced us to propose such a measure to Parliament; and, as I said before, it will not be continued one moment longer than it is absoutely necessary." in demanding, on behalf of the country, the aboli tion of this tax—the odious character of which is ad- mitted by its proposers—we ask for nothing more than the fulfilment of the pledge here given. The Duke of Wellington in the Lords reiterates the lan guage of Sir Robert Peel in the Commons " Neces sity"—" strong necessity," impelled the Government to have recourse to it : that necessity, happily, no longer exists. We demand, and the country will en force, the pledge so clearly and fully given, that " the tax shall not be continued one moment longer than is absolutely necessary." STANDARD.—The murder of Mr. Scully has excited an extraordinary interest in Ireland. The crime by itself is a shocking one, though, unhappily, too familiar in the sister island to create the feeling that this murder has created ; but the position of the victim was peculiar. Mr. Scully was a Roman Ca tholic and a Liberal in politics, the son of a dis tinguished member of the Irish bar, Mr. Denys Scully, who about thirty years ago compiled a trea tise on the penal laws, once or twice successfully prosecuted as a seditious libel, and which has served as the brief of the Roman Catholic agitators ever since. Mr. Scully also had, we believe, the ho nour to be nearly connected with Ireland's greatest poet, Mr. Moore. According to all accounts, the murdered gentleman was an amiable man, who as serted the rights of property and no more, and as serted these moderately, and rather with a view to the moral improvements of his tenantry than to any pecu niary gain ; he sought, it is said, to clear his estate of "bad characters," an effort which every landlord owes to the country, but which, it will be remembered, was furiously denounced in the cases of Lords Lorton, Brandon, and other noblemen and gentlemen who have exerted themselves for the improvement of Ireland The truth is, that the Roman Catholic clergy and others hare, for political and sectarian purposes, laboured to establish the doctrine, that in any dispute between landlord and tenant the landlord must be always in the wrong—a doctrine which the ignorant tenant will not be the last to receive, or the slowest to act upon, through those conspiracies which the priests, for the advancement of another branch of their political and sectarian scheme have acquired and pro moted. The Protestant clergy and gentry were the first victims ; but a war of poverty against wealth, or ganised and armed in conspiracy, would soon cease to notice political or religious distinctions. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY, NEW COURT. ROBBERY AT A FIGHT.—An athletic, large whis kered fellow, named Thomas Taylor, was indicted for stealing, on the 29th of November, six pounds of beef and part of a hare, from the larder of James Belcher. It appeared that the prosecutor keeps the Berkeley Arms public-house, at Cranbrook, Middlesex, and that, on the morning of Tuesday last, a coach and a van loaded with patrons of the " ring," and a miscel cellaneous collection of members of the " swell mob" and the " fancy," did him the honour of stopping at his door for refreshment, on the way to a "mill" that was to come off that day on the Bath road. The gen tlemen alighted, and proceeded en masse to the bar, where the attention of the prosecutor was soon en tirely occupied in supplying them with liquor ; while so engaged, some of them, in the most daring manner, fastened the unfortunate Boniface into his own bar, whileltardre, another part of the gang made prisoners of the servants in the kitchen. They then proceeded to the and helped themselves to such viands as it con aithenehre mentionedda,concludibiyn the indictment. decampingwi As soon a with the beef and prosecutor regained his liberty, he pursued the coach, and found th e lost provisions very nar the prisoner's sack ofplaceO ashelarhder, prosecut or one had been rosecuto o r gave theeve hmosthim i a n c t t e i v the e i n cus tody of an officer, the and charg e d hi m with robbery. . d a The COMMON SERGEANT, i n summing up, the clear case of larceny had been made out, an u p said whole gang been taken up they would all have been equally guilty. The Jury convicted the prisoner. It appeared that he was well known as an old offender. He addressed the Court with great vehe mence, and not without plausibility, complaining bit terly of the hardship of his being picked out from among all the others for prosecution. His previous character, however, was too much for any protesta- . tions to get over, and he was sentenced to seven . years transportation.—The prisoner was removed from the bar, loudly protesting that he had been hardly dealt with. FURTHER LOSS OF LIFE AND PROPERTY AT SEA. she had struck she slid off the rocks into deep water, and sank immediately. Two seamen, and a passenger named Touton, were drowned ; the rest of the crew reached the shore. On the 3d of the same month the ship Mary, of Sydney, was totally lost near Manidieu. The crew were saved. Amongst the other vessels wrecked are the Shamrock, on the Barnegas Shoals ; the Curlew, Captain Richie, of Argyle; the barque Resolution, of London ; the schooners George and Empress, andtlree others. The loss of the latter was stated to be 70,0001. SUPPOSED MURDER 1N NOTTS. Three weeks ago, a young man of the name of Millington, of Holme Pierrepont, became suddenly missing, and fears are entertained that he is mur dered. He was on the eve of marriage, and having been at Nottingham to purchase articles for his wed ding, he called at Mrs. Richards, the Town Arms, Trent Bridge, and had a glass or two of ale. Mr. John Spencer, of Adbolton, a neighbour, was there, and sat a short time drinking with him, and shortly afterwards they parted at Mr. Spencer's garden gate. No tidings have been heard of Millington since, although every inquiry has been made. We understand he wa3 servant to the Rev. J. J. Cleaver, who is taking every step possible to trace out the mystery. A mat basket which he carried has been found, and also his hat, the lining having been torn out of it, which was found at Hover ingham, on Friday morning The conviction is that he has been robbed and thrown into the river. The daily reports about him are truly mortifying —Notts Review of to-day. LONDON AND DOVER RAILWAY. (THIS DAY.) The Annual General Meeting of the Proprietors and Directors of this Railway was held this day at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, for the pur pose of receiving the Directors' and Engineer's Re port, a statement of the accounts, and to declare forfeit certain shares. JOSEPH. BAXENDALE, Esq., took the Chair, and read the Report, which stated,:" That since the last general meeting the line had been further opened—to Head corn in the month of August, and within the present week to Ashford. The opening to Headcorn—the mileage over which the Company's receipts were taken, being, of course, increased, while, at the same time, the payment of toll to the Brighton Company had ceased, that to the Croydon had been modified under the arrangement referred to below, and the tax payable to Government had been placed on a different footing—appeared to the Directors a proper opportunity for introducing lower fares and an additional class of passengers. So far as a limited experience had enabled the Directors to arrive at a conclusion on the subject, it warranted a be lief that the experiment had increased the general usefulness of the Railway, and the net profit to the Company. By the opening to Ashford it was expected that the existing traffic from London to Do ver and Canterbury would be diverted into its; new channel, and that many of the difficulties with which the Company had had to contend in respect to the 'conveyance of passengers and parcels, beyond the line of the Railway to their ulterior destination, would be removed. The full development of the traffic to which the line was entitled, and the entire freedom from de pendence upon arrangements not properly falling within the province of a Railway Company, could not of course be looked for until the full advantages of the new system had been offered to the public by the opening throughout to Dover. The proposed extension from the point where the Croydon diverges from the Greenwich line to the Grange-road, had occupied the careful attention of the Directors. In pursuance of the resolution passed at the last meeting, they had contracted to purchase, for about 35,0001., so much of the land required as was necessary in order to secure to the Company the power of prosecuting the design. Further negotiations had put them in a position to recommend to the Proprie tors the continuation of the line to a point near the Brick layer's Arms, still nearer to London than that which was considered at the last meeting. The advantages of a West-end terminus, close to the already accus tomed point of convergence on the southern side of the bridges, were great and obvious ; but these did not constitute the! only inducement by which the Directors had been influenced. The terminus at London-bridge, which would shortly he completed, was very valuable for the purposes it was designed to serve, but did not afford sufficient space for carrying out in a safe, creditable, and efficient manner, the amount and various kinds of traffic in passengers, goods, and cattle, which might reasonably be expected at the London terminus of the line. Twenty-three acres of commodious station room would be made available if the present suggestion were adopted; and the Directors were advised by their engineer that the increased convenience thus afforded to the Company was a consideration to which they could not easily attach too great importance. The Brighton Company had declined to unite in the proposed extension, and as the participation of the Croydon Company was uncertain, the Proprietors of this Company, if they sanctioned the project, must be prepared to invest the Directors with full powers for carrying it into effect on the sole responsibility of the South-Eastern Company. The total cost of this branch, with the extension now proposed, including the costs of application to Parliament, and of the line and station, would probably be not far short of 200,0001. Against this expenditure, besides the ad vantages above referred to, must be set the annual amount saved in tolls, and the confluence of traffic likely to be attracted to this branch ; and considering its importance, and the adVanced and promising state of the undertaking generally, the Directors did not hesitate to recommend its adoption to the meeting. The Proprietors were aware, that in order to com plete the line according to the estimates laid before previous meetings, two sums of 120,000/. and 100,000/. remained to be raised under the authority of the Acts already obtained. The order of a General Meeting was necessary to enable the Board to raise these sums ; that for the 120,000/. was given by a previous meeting, and that for 100,0001. would be submitted to the Proprietors. The mode proposed by the Board was the issue of debentures and loan notes, for the whole amount required. The Directors have had much satisfaction in laying before the Proprietors Mr. Stephenson's elaborate Report, on the surveys made for lines connecting the South-Eastern Railway, by way of Calais or Boulogne, with Paris and other important places on the Continent of Europe. While this Company, from a sense of propriety as well as of prudence, had always abstained from any interference with the projects for railways on the other side of the Channel, the Proprietors could not fail to receive with interest a Report ascertaining, by a careful comparison of engineering capabilities with existing traffic, the future prosperity of an undertaking calculated to enhance the value of their own line. The statement of the receipts and expenditure showed a balance of 108,375/. 10s. Oid. in the hands of the Company. The CHAIRMAN: then read the Engineer's Report, which stated the line was now opened to Ashford, and would be opened throughout in the end of next year. The opening to Folkstone would take place early in the summer. The Chairman then went on to say, that in 1836 the Royal Assent was given to the Bill of the South-Eastern Railway Company, and the first general meeting of the Proprietors took place in 1837. Perhaps no railway had ever moved slower than this one appeared to have done. The expenditure since the commencement of the Rail way had averaged about 100,0001. per an w2. num ; but from March to November last the expenditure had been 260,0001., a n d th e w h o l e y ea r making the t time t t h o e t ai railwayof t two had been iin of money. 1,30 ,°° Duringl course of completion, the Directors had frequently changed, and now only one original • Director re mained, and he (the Chairman) happened to be the third who had presided at that Board. In the six Years following 1835 there had be en an expenditure of 320,000/., and the following six months, 250,0001. From September to October, 1842, th e ex p en di ture was 224,000/. ; since which period up to the 15th November, it had been 193,0001., the total payment, therefore, was 2,187,0001. The further expe n dit ure required, according to the engineer's Report, was 596,000/., making a total of 2,783,0001.; but from this sum would be deducted the interest paid on the shares which had been received back, the cost of the land at the Bricklayer's Arms, and other items, which would reduce the sum to 2,681,000/. The line would, therefore, be completed at a cost of between three and four millions. The total amount at present at command of the Directors was 83,0001. The estimate for the Dover terminus would be considered at a special ge neral meeting. The terminus at the Bricklayer's Arms was a subject of great importance, and would be brought under the consideration of the meeting. This terminus, if erected, would place the railway within about three quarters of a mile of St. Paul's, about a mile and a half from Westminster-bridge, about two miles from Waterloo-bridge, and two and a half from Charing•cross. The necessity for this branch was very urgent. At the present station it was out of the question to think of carrying goods. What business could be conducted when he told them that the station for three Companies, the Brighton, the Croydon, and the Dover, stood on ground about a quarter the size of Westminster Hall. It appeared to him that there was no earthly reason why the Brighton, the Dover, and the Croydon should not act in concert, and for their mutual benefit. The station at London-bridge for the three Companies was 100 feet by 52, while at the Camden station of the London and Birming ham for one carrier alone the allotment was 227 feet.—(Hear, hear.) He therefore thought that the Grange undertaking must be beneficial to the Dover Company. The Chairman then entered into a long statement to chow that the arrangement made by the Company with respect to the New Cross DOWNING-STREET, DEC. 2, 1842. On Sunday night last, at Strangford, during a dreadful gale of wind from the south-west, a brig belonging to Newcastle, named the Echo, commanded by Mr. Evans, and a crew of seven persons, was totally lost on the Cannon Rocks, near the north and south light, and four of her unhappy freight met with a watery grave. At Newhaven, on Monday morning last, a vessel, supposed about 30 tons burden, was found totally wrecked on the rocks under the cliff westward of the harbour of this port. From the name of " Manuel" being painted in white letters on a quarter-board, which was washed ashore in the course of the morning, she is supposed to be a French craft. All the crew are reported to have perished with the vessel. By the barque Venus, which arrived at Antwerp on Tuesday last, the master re ports having passed on the morning of Friday, the 18th of last month, the wreck of a large vessel burnt to the water's edge. Ile bore round it several times for the purpose of discovering her name, but was unable to do so. The wreck was in lat. about 49, long. 8. Among the accounts received by the Great Western steam •ship, which arrived at Liverpool on Wednesday morning, were those dated Nassau, Oc tober 21, and New Orleans, November 8, detailing the destruction o f two vessels by fire ; namely, the Maid of Arkansas, a steamer, and an American ship, the Ceres, Captain Cliffe, from Mobile to New York. The Great Western also brings tidings of the loss of several other ships. The Trial, a fine three-masted vessel, master's name Le Blanc from Prince Edward's Island for St. John's, Newfoundland, went on shore on the night of the 3d of November, at Pompkit, near Antigouish, and became a total wreck. All hands, amounting to 25 persons, perished. On the 18th of the same month, the ship Eliza, belonging to London, was driven by a furious gale on to the south-east end of the island of Anticosti. About three hours after THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 2, 1842. Station, had been of great advantage to the Company. The arrangement being, that instead of paying ls. per head each passenger indiscriminately upon the line to the Croydon Company, the Croydon Company should take a proportionate charge for each, according to the distance travelled, whereby the Dover Company had been enabled to carry third-class pas sengers. The next point he would call their atten tion to was the position of each Company with respect to each other. He thought the public and the Corn-' parries would be materially benefited by the Direc tors in each pulling well together.— (Hear, hear.) The Brighton, the Croydon, and the Dover Company had no possible excuse for not acting as one. He hoped that the proprietors would take some measures so as to compel thirty-eight foolish gentlemen to adopt a course which must be beneficial to all. He had hoped that common sense would prevail, but it had not seemed to have gained ground at all. He had seen the establishments reducing their labourers from 21s. to 195., but this was not the reform that was re quired ; what was wanted was to make the three Companies work as one. They did not want three Directors, three staffs, or three locomotiv e establishments. Could any suppose that two stations were required at Croydon and two at Reigate? He had heard this bitterly complained of by passen gers, who had suffered. What was required was one staff for the whole, one engineer, one secretary, and one inspector. He was happy to say that they had no disputes with their contractors, as many other railways had. All that they now had to do was to complete the terminus at Dover, and he hoped that the one at the Bricklayer's Arms would be sanctioned. He concluded by moving the adoption of the Report. Mr. Wisitmv said that according to his calcula tions he made the total expenditure on the railway upwards of 3,000,0001. for its completion. The CHAIRMAN said that upwards of 300,0001. was deficient in the calls. Mr. WIsHAW wished to know why Mr. Yates had resigned his situation as superintendent of the line, and whether that resignation had been an inconvenience to the Company. He wished to know also what the actual costs of the railway was likely to be. The CHAIRMAN said the less that was said on that subject by the friends of Mr. Yates the better. His resignation had not been an inconvenience to the Company. The cost of the railway, as was stated at the last meeting, would be about 2,691,000/. This was the :tatement they made at the last meeting, and this was the statement they adhered to now. After a very long discussion, the motion that the Report be received, adopted, and printed, was put and carried. _ . The CHAIRMAN said the next resolution was em powering the Company to raise 220,0001. upon loan notes. This resolution was put and carried. A resolution was then passed, empowering the Di rectors to apply to Parliament for a Bill to continue the line of railway to Dover under Arch Cliff Port. This resolution was passed without comment. The resolution come to at the last meeting, forfeit ing certain shares, was confirmed. The CHAIRMAN then proposed a resolution to em power the Company to go to Parliament for a Bill to form a branch of the railway to the Grange, near the Bricklayers' Arms, and to erect a station. A great deal of discussion ensued upon this reso ution ; several Proprietors opposed it, as not tending to benefit the Company. Mr. LEVY said that the principal trade would be in hops, and it was well known that as Southwark was the gteat hop-market that the dealers would, as a matter of course, go to London Bridge rather than send waggons to the Grange. Ile should, therefore, propose, as an amendment to the resolution, that the subject be taken into consideration that day twelve months. Considerable discussion arose upon this, and The CHAIRMAN said the Directors would abide by the decision of the meeting. Ile could only say that the ground could now be got for a low sum, and if they delayed, they might not have an opportu nity of purchasing it except at an enormous outlay, as the place would soon be built upon. If at any future time the Proprietors should see the policy of purchas ing this land, and the present proposition were reject ed, he hoped they would not blame the Directors. The amendment was then put and lost. The original resolution, which empowered the Directors to go to Parliament, either in conjunction with or without the Croydon Company, for the Bill, was put and carried. A .resolution was then proposed, empowering the Directors to sell the forfeited shares. This resolution was carried. A vote of thanks was then carried to the Chairman, and the meeting separated at four o'clock. THE LOS1)0N GAZETTE (THIS EVENING.)

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) CLERKEZV W ELL. Two aristocratic-looking young men, named Geo. Thomas and James Hawkins, were placed in the felon's dock, charged with stealing knockers off several doors arising out of the same charge Mr. Ezekiah Wilson, of Park-street, Grosvenor-square, was accused of throwing stones at the door of the station-house in Islington-green, and with other violent conduct. A large basket filled with knockers of doors, iron bars, and nobs of railings, &c., the product of their maraud ing, was produced in Court. It appeared from the evidence of several police-con stables, that on the previous night the prisoners went up to every house on Duncan-terrace, Islington, and ; forced the knockers off many of them they had pre viously paid a visit to York-place, and behaved in the same manner.—The Rev. James Thompson resides at No. 1, Duncan-terrace ; is at present labouring under severe illness, which was much increased by the alarm he felt at the violence of the prisoners. He thought they were breaking into the house.—Several housekeepers came forward and identified their knock ers, some of which were found on the prisoners' per sons, and some where they had been standing. The offence of throwing stones at the station-house door was proved against Wilson. Mr. COMM said—You evidently belong to a class which should befar above such gross, outrageous con duct as that of which I feel it my duty to convict you. If it were only one or two knockers you twisted off, and then went away home, it might pass for a foolish frolic, the excitement of a moment; but you have been guilty of systematic and extensive violence, a series of offences of a very disgraceful character. To fine persons of your condition 51., the utmost I can impose, would be a mere farce, I therefore sen tence you, without fine, to one month's imprisonment in the House of Correction and hard labour. Mr. Wilson I sentence to pay a fine of 2/. The prisoners earnestly begged to be fined. Mr. COMM refused to alter the sentence. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Yesterday, David Hume Nelson, late cashier and clerk to the Friendly Lean Society, at No. 50, Lei cester-square, and Lucy Anne, his wife, were, for the third time, brought up for examination, charged on suspicion of having stolen four Si. Bank of England notes, and gold and silver monies, to the amount of 621. 10s., the property of the trustees of the Society. Mr. Humphries, the solicitor, attended to conduct the case on the part of the prosecution ; and Mr. nobler, jun., was solicitor for the prisoners. It may be remembered, from the report of the prisoner's first examination, 'which appeared in The Sun of Thursday, the 17th ult., that the male prisoner, on the 2d of No vember, 1841, communicated to the Honorary Secre tary of the Society that his cash drawer at their office had been opened. during the previous night, and the above amount stolen therefrom, but suspicion being entertained at the time that his state ment was a mere fabrication, and that he had appro priated the money to his own use, he was dismissed from his situation. The numbers of the notes he alleged to have been stolen, being known, notice was given at the Bank of England, and after the lapse of about a twelvemonth, ono of them was paid in, and traced to have been passed by the female prisoner, at a grocer's shop in Hungerford market, when she gave the name of Goddard, and an address at Brompton, which turned out to be false, but in consequence of this, the prisoners were traced and apprehended, liv ing together at Colney Hatch, near Barnet. The charge was then met by the female prisoner, stoutly denying that she was the person who had passed the note. Subsequently, however, another of the notes name into the Bank, and was traced to have been passed by her at the shop of Mr. Casnetts, of High street, Camden-town, pawnbroker, in redeeming a china chimney ornament pledged by her for 15s. She on that occasion gave the name of Dewart, and on searching their lodgings at ColneyHatch, a pawn broker's duplicate, in the name of Goddard, and some letters in the latter name, were found.—They were fully committed. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. The following has been posted at Lloyd's :—, Hydrographie-office, Admiralty, Nov. 20, 1842. NOTICE TO MARINERS. LOUISBURG LIGHT ON CAPE BRETON ISLAND.. . The following information has been received by her Majesty's Government : " A lighthouse has been established on the eastern side of the entrance to the harbour of Louisburg, 60 fathoms in shore, in lat. 45 deg. 54 min. N., and long. 59 deg. 50 min. 10 sec. It stands on the site of the old French lighthouse (which was succeeded by a beacon), and shows a fixed light, visible at sea from off Cape Portland, to the south-eastern extreme of Cape Breton. The lighthouse (which is a square building) is painted white, with vertical block stripes on either side in order to distinguish it from lighthouses, and to render it conspicuous when the back land is covered with snow. The following remarks may be of service to vessels bound to Louisburg. When coming from the eastward they should bring the light to bear W. by N., or more northerly, before they run for it ; and if coming from the westward, it should be brought N. by E., or more northerly, in order to clear Green Island and the Ledges ' which lie three-quarters of a mile S. by W. W. from the light. When in the entrance of the harbour (which is nearly half a mile wide), with the light bearing N.N.E. two or three cables distant, steer W.N.W. for half a mile, to avoid the Nag's Head, a sunken rock on the starboard hand bearing W. by N. from the light. The north-east arm of the harbour affords the safest anchorage. The light of Louisburg bears about S.S.W. W. from the revolving light on Scatari Island. The bearings are magnetic." DUTCH AND HAMBURGH MAIL. FRANKFORT, Nov. 16.—According to a statement, which, however, needs confirmation, the rough esti mate of the expense of the Federal fortresses of Ulm and Rastatt is 30,000,000 of florins. The payments will be made from the Treasury of the Confederation, but we hear, that for making the partial payments, an agreement has been made with the house of Roths childs, of this city, which, for a moderate commission, undertakes to make the several payments of the spot at its own risk and costs. FROM Tux DANUBE, Nov. 18.—The result of the general meeting respecting the navigation of the Danube, seems not to have been such as was desired ; it has, indeed, been resolved not to give up this fine national undertaking, but the shareholders being dis appointed in their expectations, would not consent to make any further grant of the money required to prosecute it. The offer of an advance of 50,000 florins, at 2 per cent., was indeed accepted, but com petent judges affirm that this sum is insufficient for the purpose. HANOVER, Nov. 21.—The following particulars are reported in public respecting our accession to the Prussian Customs Union :—A Committee, consisting of Members of the Board of Taxes, and of the De partments of the Interior, whose proceedings, how ever, are kept a profound secret, is engaged in exa mining the offers which, it is said, have been made from Berlin. It must be observed, however, that his Majesty the King is supp ose d t o be personally adverse to joining the Customs Union, and that by far the greater part of the kingdom is of the same opinion. Some provinces and towns are much inclined to the Union from their position and their commercial and local interests ; and some persons high in office in the revenue departments are zealous advocates for it.
