T HE following is a COPY of a LETTER from Lady SOPHIA GREY : " To Messrs. Morison, British College of Health, Hamilton place, New-road ; London.—Gentlemen : This is to inform you that many cases of cure by your Medicine have come to my knowledge within the last year (1841), and that, every year since I first took your Medicines (which was in 1834), convinces me, more and more, that your Pills are the only sure and safe remedy for all complaints. " I enclose my 51. yearly subscription to the Exeter Hygeian Dispensary. You have my authority for publishing this letter. " I remain, Gentlemen, your sincerely obliged " SOPHIA GREY. " Sandiway, near Northwich, Cheshire, Jan. 9, 1542." COUGHS, COLDS, AND ASTHMAS. The 42d Testimonial in favour of that excellent Med:- cine HOLLAND'S BALSAM of SPRUCE:— " Brampton, 14th April, 1841. " DEA a SIR—My prejudices being somewhat strong, 1 could not prevail upon myself to try your ' Holland's Balsam of Spruce,' until accidentally hearing of a wonderful cure being effected upon a friend of mine by its use, I was induced to over come my scruples and give it a trial ; and upon using it, I have the pleasing satisfaction of stating, for the information of others, who, like myself, may be labouring under the cruel affliction of confirmed asthma, that I have experienced so much benefit as to truly say I have not been so easy for many a long and weary year ; and am convinced that, in all cases similar, your Balsam of Spruce will be, as it shall be with me, a constant companion and bosom friend. " I have not attempted to describe my sufferings ; they are too well known and felt by all asthmatic persons to neod de scribing; but earnestly hoping that others may be induced to make the experiment, and obtain the same gratifying result, and that you may be rewarded for your ingenuity in discover,- ing so valuable a medicine, I remain, Sir, yours gratefully, " THOS. DAVIS." Upwards of a hundred cases of cures are now in course of publication in 200 newspapers throughout the kingdom, in cluding many of extraordinary character, to which sufferers are referred; its astonishing power in subduing coughs and colds exceeds all belief, whilst its healing, balsamic, and soothing qualities instantly relieve soreness and tightness of the chest, sense of suffocation, sore throat, &c.

Price Is. lid. per bottle. CAUTION. ---The extraordinary demand for PARR'S LIFE PILLS has induced several shopkeep ers, of mean and dishonest principles, to try to impose on the incautious various counterfeits composed of the most per nicious ingredients, merely for the sake of reaping an extra profit, totally regardless of the dreadful consequences which must ensue.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged lay the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is, the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary . medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who Traffic on th e h ea lth an d cre d u li ty o f pat i ents, h as been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have for a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases ; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret praetices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more. applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarjly at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time, He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the dis astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished.

GLOBE.— We yesterday alluded to the Io triumphe of!the Tory journals which have, as yet, abstained from advocating Anti-Protestant prin ciples in the National Church on.the nomination of Dr. Gilbert by Sir H-,Peel to the ; see of Chi chester; and the strangej*guage in which the grounds of theSe triumphings was expressed= that the Premier had given another Protestant Bishop to the Protestant Church of England. Whatever the merits of Dr. Gilbert may be as a Protestant,par excellence, we cannot but consider the appointment as any thing but creditable to the Tories, and as a practical violation of the pro- mises put forth by the party, that a first-rate man I should be selected for the vacant mitre. It is, we are justified in saying, a shabby appointment. ! Dr. Gilbert is only known at Oxford as equally the violent opponent of Dr. Hampden and Mr. Williams. He is one of the prominent political partisans of one of the sections into which the Church has, unfortunately for its character and efficiency, become divided—and nothing more. Mr. Newman, Dr. Vasey, Dr Hook, and Mr. Keble, are men of acknowledged great literary and theological attainments ; but they are avowedly of the Pusey school. If Sir Robert Peel wished to avoid committing himself by a supposed preference of one of that section, there is Dr. Turton, Dean of Peterborough, a most accomplished scholar and eminent divine; Dr. Benson, the Master of the Temple ; Dr. Wordsworth, the late Master of Trinity ; and others, eminent in the theological literature of the day. All these have been overlooked; and Sir R. Peel, with his usual policy, has preferred Dr. Gilbert; who has about as much claim to such a distinction, and is as likely to raise the character of the Bench and extend the salutary influence of the Church in this crisis of its his tory, as Mr. William Holmes or Mr. Bonham would have to the post of Cabinet Minister, with the view of benefiting the country in the present difficult and embarrassed state of its interests. COURIER.—The Chronicle this morning, following up its discoveries of mares' nests and its career- of mendacity, astonishes us with the fact as its very latest discovery, which, " if true" in all its bearings, should undoubtedly be classed as the greatest wonder of the day, of the Royal. West India Steam Packet Company having en tered into contracts for ten or a dozen Bremen vessels to proceed to Sunderland and Newcastle, there to take in cargoes of coals, and to proceed with them to the Company's stations in the West Indies. Here is an evident admission that foreign vessels. can afford to sail on lower terms than British ; and the difference must be considerable since the Bremen vessels lose one entire voyage, namely, that from Bremen to the British port, at which they are to load. Indeed the difference must be very considerable to justify such a step on the part of an important public company, which is to receive a large annual amount of public money for the conveyance -of the Go vernment-mails." We had written thus far when we received our daily article from the " City." From its explanation of this famous Bremen bugbear, it will be seen that the Bremen ves sels (vessel rather) are taken up because no Bri tish vessels were to be had, and the occasion did not admit of the slightest delay ; that the same rates of freight are paid to the Bremen as would have been paid to ,and accepted by the British, and no less; lastly, that the Bremen vessels are not at the diSadvantage of losing a voyage, that is, of coming from . Bremen to this country to take up freight, as they chance to be on the spot ; and all the disadvantages, therefore, to which they are subject amount to the payment of such extra toll and tonnage duesas may be leviable overand above the rates paid by British vessels; no heavy tax it may be conceded.: So much for the new mare's nest of the Chronicle so suddenly and rudely ex ploded. "On inquiry being made of the West India Steam Packet Company (says our City friend), by a party somewhat interested in ship ping, this explanation of the astounding mare's nest was given ; that it :was necessary to send coals to St Thomas's, in order that no deten tion of steamers might take place on the homeward voyage, and no British vessels offering at the moment, the urgency of the case was such that they were obliged to take up a Bremen vessel for that purpose, for which the same freight is to be paid as would have been paid for our own;' so much for the saving to the Company. The vessel in queStion having to pay the extra tonnage dues, and the difference in duty on the coal, will not make quite so much freight as it is stated she would; and the only bene fit to be derived from the contract will be by the English revenue, to the extent of about three shillings and eleven pence out of four shillings per ton on the cargo. This fact' may now sleep quietly by its twin brother about the cloth." The Company, it further appears, had advertised for a vessel (not several), and no British vessel offer ing the Bremener was of necessity secured. Ac cording to the Chronicle, a whole fleet of Bre •meners had been chartered. STANDARD.—The Houses' of Parliament have long established a rule that the vindication of their privileges, when any of these is supposed to be violated, shall take precedence of all other subjects of consideration. The people, and its organ, the Press, cannot do better than to imitate this wise provision of self-defence, sanctioned l i by the usage of the collective wisdom of the country. It is only in the cases of individuals that the privileges of the people can be violated, but fbr that very reason, because the public wrong involves private injus --ace and opproQzion, the people ought to be more sensitive and prompt in asserting their rights, and in redressing the injury inflicted. The United Service Gazette, the vigilant and faithful guardian of the interests of soldiers and sailors, on Saturday presented a case of oppression and injustice suf teredby one of the people,which we think the people ought to take into immediate consideration, if her Majesty's Government do not, as we trust it will, anticipate the public decision. We allude to the trial and conviction of Mr. Elton, midshipman of her Majesty's ship Cambridge, for writing a disre spectful letter to M Captain oth er Ma jesty's steamer S tro mboli._ For this o ffe nce M r . Elton has been sentenced to dismissal from the Queen's naval service , when, according. to all our ordinary notions ofla w and justice, thenavalautho rities have done with him ; _but the Co urt - mart i al adds to dismissal si x months' . 472 .8risonment in, a common gaol in England, With,of course, several months of intermediate imprisonment until his arrival in this country—the Court claiming the merit of mildne ss in onl y imposing such a sentence. This judgment startled us unt il we saw that the Court-martial bad been se lected by Sir John Ackworth O mmanney , a person whose notions of liberty have been made notorious by certain proceedings in the Courts at Westminster, and that. the members of a Court appointed to try a.midshipman for disre spectful conduct to a Captain, were all, at the least, of the degree of the offended prosecutor. As civilians, we are perhaps not qualified to judge of questions of discipline, or of the degree of seve rity with which breaches ot disciplin e oug ht t o b e punished; we therefore do not quarrel with the sentence, much as we have been startled by its harshness, inconsistency, and apparent repug nance to the principle s of British law. Mr. Elton certainly wrote one objectionable letter; and though, before he knew of a court-martial being intended., he Apologised for that, letter in terms as ample. •and•as h u mble as a gentleman could employ,. the, Court was probably right in disre garding his apology, whatever effect it ought to have produced 'upon the prosecutor. In its ori gin, however, the a ff a ir was not one of discipline; FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. TIMES.—It is understood that the Spanish Commis sioner, M. Borrajo, had an interview to-day with the Chair man of the Committee of Sp an i s h B on dh o ld ers, an d officially assured him that the m one y f or pay i ng t h e divi dend on capitalised arrears of interest w as a l rea d y h ere , and that the delay in giving publicity to the contem plated conversion is owing to certain formalities in the preparation of the instruments not having been gone through, and to the non-arrival of the other Commis sioner, who is, however, daily expected from Paris. It was this that had the favourable influence on Spanish stock. The journeymen confectioners, who hold their meet ings in Aldersgate-street, and whose . object it is to get rid of the present anomaly in the duties on manu factured sugar, continue their operations, and have been actively employed in getting up memorials to the President of the Board of Trade and the Chancellor of the Exchequer. They have sent us spe cimens of manufactured sugar, which are so far curious that they show the variety of shapes which sugar is made to assume, in order to pass off as confectionery at the Custom-house. Formerly a kind of black sugar was in vogue, and this, in combination with charcoal, was the prevailing method of carrying on the fraud ; but now this plan seems to be abandoned, and the sugar comes over in the shape of acidulated drops, which com pletely deceive the eye, but contain no acid whatever, and a candy, in large pieces, of which, we are informed, one man could make 12 cwt. per day, and which can be converted into refined sugar, fit for use, at a most trifling expenditure. These various shapes, to which, by turns, the manufeeturers of the Channel Islands are obliged to have recourse, show that it is not quite fair dealing on their part ; and that, de fective as the law is, they are resolved to adopt every expedient to evade its provisions and elude the vigilance of the Custom-house officers, a fact which would operate against them in case they should think themselves entitled to a compensation upon the law being altered. At the same time no vigilance on the part of the officers will ever be sufficient to prevent the injuries to the revenue when the material is susceptible of such endless disguises as sugar, and the only effectual remedy will be to impose a duty on the confectionery which shall deprive that from the Channel Islands of all advantage over our own, and thus, while protecting the revenue, do an act of justice to our operatives. A pamphlet has just been printed "On the Case of the bona fide Holders of the Repudiated Ex chequer bills," the object of which is briefly to state the law and facts of that case for the consideration of Parliament, with the conviction, which the author shares with all other impartial persons who have re flected on the subject, that in enforcing the claims of the bona fide holders justice and sound policy con cur. Most of the authorities he cites have already been before the public from time to time, but the arrange ment of the whole in a concise form is very useful. One of the best points the author raises in favour of the holders is, that during the whole six years of the circu lation of the fraudulent bills the forgery was never de tected nor even suspected till the discovery of the dupli cate bills forced from Smith by his confession. During this time almost every banker in London, as well as the Bank of England, must have had some of the bills in their hands, the Government took them for the funding, and surely, if the acuteness of these bankers, as well as of the Bank and the Government, was foiled, it is too much to insist that the present holders should have been clear sighted enough to detect the fraud. The question of the bills will gain a new interest at the approaching Session of Parliament, and, when it will be of greater practical utility, we may perhaps return to the notice of this pamphlet. CHRONICLE.—Our correspondent may rest assured that the people of this country will never rest satisfied now until a moderate fixed duty is substituted for the sliding scale, and we therefore deem it unnecessary to offer any opinion upon the expediency of his suggestion, which in truth is intended to get the better of a fluc tuating duty by means of an option to the importer. The clear and simple plan of doing so is to fix the im port duty, so as to give fair play to all. The rumour regarding the Ministerial measure of Corn-law reform, which we announced at some length this morning, has produced no small sensation, and the main part of the plan, that of taking the returns from the principal market towns of the United Kingdom, from the growers only, seems to be looked upon on all hands as likely to'be authentic. The employment of the district officers of Excise, as the returning officers, is looked upon as removing one of the chief obstacles to the proposed im provements in the system of taking the averages, as any increase of patronage and expense in the machinery will thus be obviated. On the Corn Exchange to-day the affair was in almost every body's mouth, and created a very general movement. Some parties say that the pre cise range of the modified scale is not to be from 15s. to ss. as a maximum and minimum, but from 645. to 545. or 565., with a 2s. fall of duty for every rise of ls. in the average price, the maximum range of duty to be 20s. and the minimum 4s. per quarter. We need only repeat, that these rumours, now becoming more strong and specific every day, are to be taken only by the friends of free trade as the handwriting on the wall, which foretels the downfall of the fortress of monopoly. They should only lead the friends of commercial liberty to more de termined and powerful exertions. PAPIER MACHE TEA TRAYS, 50s. the SET, of FULL-SIZED GOTHIC SHAPE.

SPAIN AND HER CREDITORS. MADAM, JAN. 15.—The printed copies of the Mi nister of Finance's Report to the Cortes were this day handed to the Senators, from which I transcribe the for- Lowing details, that cannot but prove interesting to the British creditors of Spain. His Excellency gives a most melancholy description of the state of penury in which he found the public trea sury, with mortgages without end on every branch of the public revenue, thanks to MM. Gamboa and Ferrer's doings. . _ _ He states that he has paid the two instalments due to the British Legion, within the year 1841, and that he has two others, making, with some extra items, 125,0001. sterling, to pay next June and December. There are other claims, pending adjustment, connected with the Legion or the hire of steam-boats, for upwards of 115,0001. sterling, though some of them are greatly ex aggerated, that must likewise be paid within this year. 5,637,224,33 reals, or about 59,0001. sterling, were sent to England for the holders of the indemnity bonds, in order to prevent the cession of Fernando Po and Anno bon, which the British Government insisted on, agreeing to take on itself the settlement with those holders. That 6,0501. were paid towards the amount of 18,1501. due to the French Legion. That the total amount of revenue received during the last seven months of his administration was 538,283,015 reals (97 reals are equal to 11. sterling), including 59,177,400 reals from extra sources, whilst the outlay was 537,412,146 reals, leaving a balance in hand, on the 31st of December, of 870,869 reals. Of the 60 millions advance to be derived by means of the salt and stamps revenues contract, 24,813,000 reals had been availed of, previous to October 1 ; and there ought to be a balance in hand of 35,187,000 reals, but for the October rebellion, which occasioned an extraordinary outlay of 48,532,552 reals for the army, and of 300,000 for the navy ; and his Excellency requires 'that the said sum be again made up by means of the extra supplies he applies for. It is perfectly evident that great waste, if not robbery, is countenanced at the War-office, which re quires being very closely-sifted into ; because, although the Minister of Finance has issued out the amounts due for eleven of the twelve months of last year, it seems that several corps in the army are still without their winter clothing—the blame rests elsewhere. Half a million of reals were paid towards making new roads, independent of the private companies that have lately started for constructing others. He estimates the revenue for 1842 at 879,193,475 reals 31 ms., because, so much being tirfaTn against cubsy,.,- Porto Rico, and the Phillipine Islands, he patinc4re(4so l ?. upon a farthing being forthcoming from the colonies, whereas the charge for the year is 1,541,618,880 reals Bms, leaving a deficit of 662,426,404 reels 1 lms., which, h owe ver,incl udes the dividends on the Five per Cent. funded debt, amounting to 264,416,111 rls. 20 ms., equal to about 2,750,0001. sterling; but taking the non-payment of the dividend into account, as well as various reductions that p s h , i 3 u 2 i o l) , i o o o o o ls reels laods, for on value ae account o o f t n tobacco acc th o e must be made this year, including 55 millions in th e W ar comingDep • ai from tmen the Department, and revenue therefrom derived, the Minister calculates that 70 millions of additional taxation, for one year only, which he demands, together with the 180 millions of Exchequer Bills he proposes issuing, besides another 70 millions of taxes to pay off these bills, will enable him to , make both ends meet. His Excellency next goes on to show that the amount of pending drafts on the three above-named colonies, on 21st of April last, was 261,772,100 reals, and that there were since drawn about 20,267,437 reals, making together 282,039,537 reals, of which it is already known that 58,651,846 reels have been paid, leaving an outstanding amount of 223,387,691 reals, but we suppose that it will have been reduced, by the 31st instant, to about 193 millions—it follows that, even counting on the rapid manner in which the Porto Rico revenues are increasing, as well as on the promising aspect of the other islands, they cannot become available to the mother country un til July, 1843, when it is expected that these sums will have been paid off, provided, however, that no further drafts be passed until then. The Minister states, that with about 34,000,000 that he had to pay, he has redeemed 36,280,000 reals of titulos, payable to bearer; 6,000,000 reels of Treasury bills ; 81,340 reals of Havannah bills—say together 42,321,340 reels. He gives it as his opinion, that the one month's pay due on last year's account should be paid up to every one, which he feels confident of being able to do, provided the Cortes will vote him the extraordinary supplies he has asked for. M. Surra y Rull, then endeavours to grapple with the question respecting the funded debt, both foreign and in terior, and does it in the following manner, viz.:— " It now becomes necessary to draw the attention of the Cortes towards our domestic and foreign debts. The capitalisation pledge the nation had given has been an object of the moat anxious meditation. Extraordinary ef forts have been made in order to realise that of the fo reign, which operation, only carried into effect the last days of December, has produced the debt which appears in the respective statements. An obligation entered into for two given days in each year, solemnly assented to by both natives and foreigners, cannot be abandoned to chance, and once that the Spanish honour stands pledged in obtaining credit for the New Three per Cent. Stock, it would be idle to impress on the zeal of the Cortes how much it becomes absolutely expedient to cover and secure, with proper guarantees or mort gages, the punctual payment of its dividends, which may possibly become the groundwork of public prospe rity, and, in a great measure, contribute to the relief of our pressures, by tempting foreigners as well as natives to become holders of a stock that must hold out a vast field to speculation, and future security to all Stock Ex change transactions. The Government, whilst dictating the measures already mentioned for attending to the payment of the capitalisation, has not lost sight of some grave incidents, which, being ultimately blended with the course of the public bonds of the Active Debt abroad, influence their relative value in a direct manner. One of them was the pending account with the house of Messrs, Ardoin and Ricardo, of London and Paris, towards the liquidation of which they hold as mortgage the considerable sum of 500 millions of reals, about 5,150,000 sterling, in effects, or bonds, of the Active. Passive, and Deferred Debt of Spain, which that house only can put into circulation, because its signature was the only one exclusively authorised to issue them to the public, being a remnant of those placed within its con trol when the conversion was made in 1834. The Go vernment, in virtue of the account sales it has received, knows that they have issued and sold bonds which have realised 29,2991. 10s. sterling money, so that the original balance claimed by them has been reduced'to 26,8121. 15s. 6d. The Minister goes on to explain the causes why the Provisional Regency, though it attempted it, could not cancel and withdraw those bonds out of Messrs. Ardoin and Ricardo's hands. Once that the overdue dividend warrants - were being capitalised, public faith required that measures of protection should be f`orthivith adopted, in order not to acknowledge amounts, the origin of which might be vicious, towards which desirable end I have been arrang ing that the balance claimed by that house shall forth with be tendered them, on condition that it will hand back to the Spanish Government the mortgage it holds, duly cancelled in the most solemn mariner, without pre judice of proceeding to the liquidation of accounts, both parties agreeing to stand by the result of the said liqui dation. It is not to be expected that those houses will decline to agree to so honourable and equitable a pro posal, but it it should prove otherwise, then the Go vernment would resort to other means, such as the cir cumstances of the moment might recommend. By such means we save the inconvenience of the markets being cendantly threatened with the improper issue of those values, and public confidence will increase in proportion as these just causes for inspiring fears and dread are re moved. The arrangement regarding the Treasury Bonds handed, in 1836, to sundry British creditors in pay ment of their dividends, under the authority of a special law, the amount of which has been energetically claimed. These are pending various accounts with other houses, the liquidation of which the Government feels it becomes necessary to give a persevering impulse to, and no means are left untried that can conduce to an object deserving such preference, with a view to clear up affairs which are still very dark, withdrawing the mortgages or guaran tees still existing, with more or less reason, in the hands of the parties in question, or deposited in public esta blishments." Excellency, in this latter part, no doubt, alludes to .pending accounts with some respecta ble houses in London, as well as in the former to the one with Aguado, of Paris, who owes about half a million sterling ; but why does not M. Surra y Rull send a special commission to Paris, in order to bring that individual to book, taking care that none of its members are connected with , of Paris, or with , formerly of London, now in Madrid ? " I now ask every impartial person, is there a chance that Spain can pay the five per cent. dividend on her funded debt, in January, 1843? If any individual should reply in the affirmative, I shall fear that he is insane. M. Surray Rull, should he continue in power, and should he be better supported than what he has hitherto been, may, by means of his perseverance, economy, and re forming system, having then the colonial revenues free, and an increasing trade in Spain, be able to do so some time in 1844, not in January. Indeed, I feel confident that he will do it, but not before. Being here on the spot, witnessing the little sympathy that is felt for foreign creditors of the country, I feel that it is a duty 'we owe to our countrymen to undeceive them, to caution them against the fellows who will aim at making them believe different things. It is better to -tell them the truth, and should there be cause hereafter to think more cheeringly of matters, your correspondent will gladly en deavour to be the first in conveying the pleasing tidings. The following sums that must be satisfied or paid, in 1842, are included in the annual charge of 1,541,618,880r5. Br., namely :- 70,610,000r5. out of the 309,449,200r5. 27rs. of pend ing credits which have gone to the centralisation, and are only to be paid off in equal proportions in each year:- 8,588,780r5. mortgaged on the quicksilver revenues.

They were to the order of the Royal House hold, the foreign, war, navy, and home departments. 3,397,774r5. due to sundry public servants in activity, on account of their pay from Nov. 1,1840, to June, 1841. 2,735,622r5. sundry special debts which must be paid. 2,360,635r5. various balances due to individuals, for which they hold good security. 922,382r5. old balances for army supplies, the payment of which has been promised. 4,638,78 lrs. balance due to coast-guard contractors and other items. _ _ _ 2,800,000r5. balance claimed by Ardouin and Ricardo. 25,000,000r5. for payment of dividends on the capita.- lisation of foreign debt. Making an amount of R.172,317,196-12rs. The amount of national property still outstanding is valued at 3,300 millions of reals—say 34 millions ster ling ; but as debt without interest is admitted in pay ment of a portion of the same, even if it obtains double the sum on an average, when sold, the result cannot be such as most people had expected. Yet the caso is by no means a forlorn one ; good management, and the con tinuance in office of an honest man as Minister of Fi nance, might possibly enable Spain, at no very distant period, to pay off her debts.

ADULT INSTRU CTIONINSTITU- TION. The fourth annual meeting of the subseribers and friends of this institution was held on Mon day evening, at the Wycliffe School-room, Phil pot-street, Commercial-road, for the purpose of receiving the Report of the Committee, and a statement of the accounts. The room was crowded with elegantly dressed ladies. Amongst the gentlemen on the platform we noticed Col. Fox, M.P., who was received with much cheer ing, Hon. H. E. Bouverie, son of the Earl of Radnor, David Wire, Esq., the Rev. Car lyle, Rev. E. Halliday, Dr. Hodgskin, Rev. Rev. E. Price, Rev. J. Hyatt, Rev. J. Tyler, J, Martineau, Esq., and J. Maitland, Esq. Col. Fox was called t o th e c h a i r, an d on hi s taking his seat was much cheered. He imme diately rose and spoke as follows :—Ladies and Gentlemen, I must first beg to thank you for the honour you have done me, in calling on me to preside at this meeting upon a most interesting occasion, and I thank you most cordially for having so done. I assure you I feel the greatest pleasure in coming amongst you again, and I am very glad to see so many around me met upon that subject upon which all mankind are united —the advancement of general education, and for. the purpose of advancing those powers which God has given to mankind to be of use to them selves as well as to their fellow -creatures. —(Cheers.) I think that whatever difference there might be as to the manner and mode of education, there will be no difference of opinion as to its utility.—(Hear, hear.) It is not for me to enter into a lecture on the benefits of edit. cation. I think that will be acknowledged all over the world, and carried nem. dis , not only all over England, but over Europe as well. lam very glad to see that this Institution has ad vanced, and is still adVancing; and I shall do all in my -power towards its further advancement and s uccess.—(Cheers.) I cannot help taking this opportunity of saying—and it rejoices me to say it—that it is within my own recollec tion that education has advanced so rapidly in this country. It is still gradually progressing, though more gradually than in other countries. We ought to be grateful to those men who have given this subject an impetus by their exertions. There is the name oi' Clarkson —a name known to ail; and although we differ in many points, I must say, and it must be allowed, that Lord • Brougham was the man in our time who gave the great impetus to the advancement in educa tion.—(Hear, hear.) He gave the great powe rs of his 'mind to this subject, and 1 think it greatly owing to him the stride it has taken for the last fifteen or twenty years. I will not detain you Institution for the past year.—(Loud cheers.) any Se e r e l t o a n r g y e , Mr. T. HART, then read the Report, which r, m fu r. r ei• Hart, h t a o n r e t o a d c t a i 1 1 l e o ß n e o p u o r r t w o o f r worthy detailed the progress of the Institution, and its beneficial results. Many of the pupils (adults) who, on their first admission to the school, could neither read nor write,- were now able to read anything presented to theni, and write a fair hand. Since the last Report, 108 additional scholars had been admitted into the female school. The Ladies' Committee had come to the deter mination of imparting other information besides that of reading, writing, andari thinetic, beneficial and desirable for all to be acquainted with. One hundred and forty-five men had attended the writing and other classes. Lectures had been delivered on various subjects. The Report con cluded with a beautiful and touching appeal to all present to contribute and assist in the desirable objects of the Institution. The Hon. Mr. BOUVERIE said he had been requested to move the following resolution : That the Report now read be received and printed for circulation under the direction of the. Committee ; and that this meeting, regarding with pleasure the con tinued and growing usefulness of this Institution, would desire to express their gratitude to th© Greif Author of Benevolence for his distinguishing goodness to them selves; and feeling it a duty incumbent on them to impart to their destitute fellow creatures a portion of those bless ' iugs they have so liberally received, hereby pledge them selves to renewed exertions in this sphece of philanthro pic labour. _ - It gave him great pleasure to move this reso lution. He was a stranger in that part of Lon don. He agreed with the Gallant Colonel in saying this was a most important subject ; it was one of the most important that could occupy the mind of a great and free people.—(Cheers.) It was not one which merely affected one portion or class, it was one which affected them all, great and poor, labourer and tradesman; nor did it affect the present generation only, it would affect the generation to come. There was charge brought against them, but which he thought a most fallacious one, which was this, " that those who are educated amongst the lower orders, will become conceited and vain of their acquirements." Now he did not think so; it might be where there was but one man educated out of a number, as they all felt conceited when they possessed that which others did not ; but this would not he the case it' they educated all. The Rev. EBENEZER HALLIDAY sesnded the resolution in a most eloquent speech, which was put and carried unanimously. Davln WinF., Esq., rose to propose the next resolution. It had been said that it was too late to debate the question of education, and that the arguments had been urged over and over again in favour of it, and that very little remained to be done but actually to educate the people. He believed that; but still he felt quite satisfied tlhst they had there a great number of arguments that had never been touched upon. He thought he could see seventy or eighty living arguments in favour of the benefit of education. Ask any one in that room if they would like to go back to a state of profound ignorance. If there was one, let him see him. He thought that every one of them was convinced of the benefits of education, d would ehi there dre and had come-there that night with a determi nation to advance its blessings amongst the poor and ignorant. Suppose they were on a Sabbath da y to walk alone; the streets of that City, and go ey an see iff an into neslsmeirleilif)ly of chapel, and some few very learned, others with only a por tion of learning, but all attentively engaged in the worship of the Creator ; they would there see the benefit of education—education combined with religion. But suppose, on the other hand, they were walking in the week, and happened to conic to a large building with very high walls— with strong doors, with something like chains, in dicating slavery, over it, and suppose they went in, they would see miserable men not allowed to walk, but for exercise. Let them contrast the two-- the inhabitant of a prison and the occupant of a church or chapel, and what further argument need we bring before them to prove the blessings that result from the one, and the misery entailed upon the other ? He had great pleasure in pro posing the following resolution : That this meeting, under a deep conviction of the pre sent disastrous ch a ra c t er o f th e ti mes , opera ti ng w i t h upon um p u e i c en u md l ,p i a lle r uayv s e e idn r g e h r uh i iu t l y rms elsee, but erypt to contemplate in n: g a e ldatbey unhinging dhuoripiei,ga h hni i ds s daily accumulating distress, while they strongly sym pathise with his condition, are of opinion that institu, tions like the present are eminently -.Calculated to ,e.idrt a useful and beneficial influence, by furnishine thd. mind with suitable food for thought, and thus preventing the ingress of those influences which disgrace the cha racter and degrade the man. The Rev.'J . CARLYLE, in seconding tha,'resolu tion, said that bad he had the framing of thareso lution, he should have worded the last sentence differently. If that conveyed the meaning of the framer rightly, that' the industrious and ne glected, the sadly and sinfully - neglected poor, should have their minds diverted from their dis tress, sooner than second that resolution, he would say in sincerity he would put his right hand into the flames.—(Loud cheers.) No, they should teach them that they had natural rights and they ought to have power to exercise those rights, by which they might be raised from that state of degradation into which class legislation had brought them. They should teach them to feel and act as intelligent and immortal men. But would they teach them to obtain their rights by physical force—by violence ? Perish the thought. No, by some fair and constitu tional means, and by entirely acting with the spirit and genius of the Constitution.—(Hear.) He did not doubt but the intention of the framer of the resolution was good, and he therefore had great pleasure in seconding the resolution. Mr. MAITLAND spoke to the resolution in a long and eloquent speech, and the resolution having been put, was carried unanimously.. The Rev. E. PRICE moved the next resolution— That the thanks of this meeting be presented to W. M. Higgins, Esq., by whose liberal co-operation, the Institution has been so greatly supported, and to those other gentlemen who have kindly delivered Lectures ; also to those friends engaged in teaching, for.their mitted exertions. Mr. W. M. Iliciams returned thanks, ia an able speech. The SECIIETA RV here announced that he had received 51. ss. from Colonel Fox, M.P., which announcement was received with loud cheers. The Rev. Mr. TAYLOR moved, and the Rev. Mr. SAUNDERS, seconded the following resolu tion : That Mr. John Smither and Mr. Thomas Hart be requested to continue their official services, and that the following gentlemen be chosen in place of those who retire from the Committee—viz., Messrs. Edwards, Fry, Hart, Talbot, and Stone, Which was put and carried. Mr. MARTINEAU proposed the thanks of the meeting to the Chairman. He believed that was the first occasion since he (the Chairman) had had the honour of being elected as their represen tative on which he had presided at any of their meetings, and he (Mr. M.) could only hope it would not be the last. He must take that opportunity of saying a word as to the Institution. About a fortnight ago he was perfectly unacquainted with it, and he came there by accident, and he was an eye-witness and an ear-witness of the beneficial results to be expected. He spent two or three hours there, and examined an adult-class; there were twenty-three adults, not one of whom could not read, not one who could not write, nor one who could not spell. If any of those adults were then present he would give this advice, never to be ashamed of their want of instruction. He understood there were not suf ficient funds to employ a master for the adult school, and, therefore, their worthy Secretary had undertaken the task, and he (Mr. Mar tineau) could assure them it was no easy one. Mr. CRELLIN seconded the motion, which was carried amidst loud applause. The CIIAIRIVAN said he sincerely thanked them for the - kindness with which they h a passed that resolution. lie could only says ET; if any thanks were due, they Were on hi s if part, and not on theirs. He could assur e , b he had been highly gratified that n the discus. hearing so many eloquent speeches.t..ubjeet.
