SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. A complete and satisfactory return has been drawn up, under the superintendence of the Trea sury, and has been printed by order of the House of Commons, of the state of the trade and navigation of the United Kingdom for the year ending the sth of January last, compared with a similar return for the previous year. This return embraces an account of the imports of the principal articles of foreign and colonial produce ;—of the consumption of such ar ticles, and of the amount of duties received on their admission for the above-mentioned annual periods ; an account of the exports of foreign and colonial produce for the same periods ;—an account of the exports of the principal branches of our domestic manufactures and produce for the same periods ; an account of the net and gross produce of the du ties of customs for the same periods;—an ac count of the number of vessels and of their tonnage which were employed in conducting this foreign trade ;—and, lastly, a comparative ac count of the number of vessels, and of the amount of tonnage employed, in our coasting trade for the same two annual periods. These returns contain in a short compass a vast body of useful information, while their tabular fore, renders that information of easy access. They, in fact, constitute the balance-sheet of the nationai , commerce and navigation for the last two years, show us in what branches of them art increase or decline has taken place, exhibit the amount of the duties collected in - connexion with the separate arti cles of import on which they are levied, and give us the relative proportion between the employment of our cwn shipping and that of our foreign ctia.4 tourers in carrying on our foreign trade. Accounts' of this kind laid before Parliament once or twice; every year, or, at any rate, at the commencement or very session, as regularly as the state of the re• venue and the expenditure, must save the country om the commission of many mistakes, and curious Members of Parliament from the necessity of mov. ing for many returns. We shall take an early op portunity of publishing the whole or moat of these tables; but as we have not room for their insertion to-day, we shall beg leave to advert to a few of the prominent facts which they explain or illustrate. In the first place, we find that there has been a falling off in the gross produce of the Customs in the year ending the s;h of January last, as compared with the year ending the 6th January, 1833, of more than 1,000,0001. sterling ; the former produce being 18,329,3221., and the latter 19,519,1851. We therefore look through the table to see on what articles the deficiency has occurred, and we find under the head of corn, that the revenue derived from the duties on the various sorts of grain during the year ending the sth of January, 1833, was 310,0044, whereas last year the produce of the same duties amounted only to 36,252/. We thu. discover that more than a quarter of a million of the deficiency in the Exchequer income is to be ascribed to that abundance of our own harvests which re duced the necessity of importing supplies from abroad, or to the corn law of the landlords, which has excluded such imports at moderate prices. The next ►arge item of decrease which we remark in looking over the table of articles, occurs under the head of foreign spirits, particularly brandy, which produced in- the year ending January 5, 1833, duties to the amount of 1,801,7961., and in last year only 1,526,3271., or created considerably more than the fourth part of the whole deficiency of the Customs. Sugar is the next commo dity, on the duties of which we detect a great falling off, the amount of these duties being in the year ending January 5, 1833, 4,595,3771,, ;r ed l as t year only 4,167 2681., making a difference of 428,1094, or a sum nearly equivalent to the rest of the deficiency in the Customs' revenue. A great part of this sum has been, however, saved in the reduction of the premiums or excessive drawl backs given on the exportation of refined suga► which had greatly declined within the last twelve months. These drawbacks amounted in 1833 to 954,941/., and last year were only 504,797/. The defalcation of nearly 80,000/. in the duties on wine more than accounts for the remaining part of ail. deficiency in the Customs' revenue for the year ending in the beginning of January last. The next point to which we may advert is the amount of the whole declared value of our exports. We know that some well-meaning people have of late been alarmed at the growing disproportion between the official and the declared value of our exports, and have conceived that we were actually ruining our selves by giving our neighbours cheap bargains. But it is not necessary to puzzle themselves with disquisitions on this subject on looking at these official tables. They will is them find declared value confronted with declared value, and they will perceive that our exports, even by this criterion, have increased within the last year nearly 4,000,000/. sterling, having been, in the year ending January .5, 1833, only 31,751,7924, and in the year ending January last, 35,521,558/. The shipowners have been assuring us for several years past, that they are on the brink of ruin from our reciprocity treaties, and even lately invited their countrymen to witness with what injustice they were to be pushed over the precipice. These tables tell a different tale. This ruined interest has ac tually added 225 ships, with a tonnage of 63,000 to its amount of lost capital within the last year, the number of British ships entering inwards, in the year ending January 5, 1833, being 10,762, and in the year ending January last 10,990, and the amount of tonnage for the corresponding periods being 1,936,846 and 1,999,930. The number of ships and the amount of tonnage in the coasting trade have scarcely varied, though in clearing outwards both have in a small degree increased. The acti vity of this trade may be conceived, when we men tion that its tonnage, both in clearing outwards and entering inwards, amounts to about 10,000,000, in vessels amounting to the number of 120,000 or 13i ,nno, c,• c h are some of the interesting or consolatory results brought before the view of Par liament in these official tables.—Times. The public discussion of public abuses is, in the present day, the first step towards their remedy. It seems as if all Governments, even the most liberal, had resolved to liesbaek antLdo nothing in the way of reformation of abuseso e drillim to it by the „ t A impelling force of public , ion. et one would i s think that men, capable . directing ,the affairs of nations, ought to be gifted with some of that saga city which discovers what FOciely wants in the way of improvement, and wi.h some of that courage which is necessary to carry its views into effect, be fore 1 general clamour makes fear perform the work of virtue, uivesting concession of all its grace and reformation of half its merit. Still we are not dis posed to withhold praise where a meritorious work bas been achieved even ata. late hour, or to decry improvement becauee it has come so slowly as to appear rather an extorted .reenceision than a free and generous boon. We, therefore, give the commen dation due to the Postmaster-Genetal ' for at length breaking down the monopoly of the Post-office clerks, as to the introduction . and transmis sion of Foreign Journala. This step in the reform of the Post-office system—one of the most palpable and grievous abuses of that establishment —has not been taken until after frequent and ener getic remonstrances on the part of the public presi. As it is, the Duke of Richmoud deserves credit fer breaking through the obstacles which inveterate abuse had thrown. in- the way of improvement; and, having made this beginning in something like:a substantial reform ef the nUportant department over which he presides, we trues he is ill proceed, 111;61 he purifies every hole and corner of it from the loNg accumulated abuses which have greatly impaired the usefulness of an otherwise excellent institutihh. Where abuses are ascertained to exist in public de- Tartments the sooner they are removed the better, except for those who derive a private advantage from the public detriment. A M ornin g Pa p r, which eulogises the authorities at the Post-office for what they have just now done, with regard to the breaking down of the monopoly of the clerks in regard to foreign journals, states, at the same time, enough to show that a great public ad vantage was lost by this reform not having been carried into effect a year sooner. It states that the Director-General of the Posts in France came to London last spring to make a settlement better adapted to the increasing intimacy and fr, - quency of intercourse between the two countries, and that one of his objects was to procure an equit able exchange of the journals of France and Eng land at a reasonable rate of postage, hut that his " liberal offers were resisted by the subaltern au thority of the English Plenipotentiary, on the mise rable condition that the clerks of the office would thus be deprived of their monopolising perquisites." The opposition to this beneficial arrangement was then successful, and thus a proffered national benefit was rejected, rather than disturb " vested rights" in established abuse. We quite agree with the same paper that " as perquisites are allowed to be bad in some instances, they ought to be abolished in all ; and that the clerks of the Post-office ought no more to have the transmission of unstamped pa pers for their own benefit than the monopoly of foreign Journals." This and other abuses must be done away with before the Post-office will be all that the country should reasonably expect such an establishment to be. Why should Post-office clerks and clerks of the roads be permitted to take advantage of the facilities which their official position gives them to interfere with the trade of newsvenders ? If they are not paid sufficient salaries for the work which they do, let their cases be submitted to Parliament, and we have no doubt that the evil will be remedied. The Legislature will rather remove the cause of com plaint than allow it to be an apology for a gross system of public abuse. There are other abuses in the Post-office which we do not believe either the Duke of Richmond or Sir Francis Freeling counte nance; but the malpractices of underlings are often laid to the charge of their superiors, and certainly it behoves those who are at the head of public depart ments to be very careful of employing only trust worthy persons, whose characters constitute some protection against practices which bring useful in• stitutions into public discredit. We are glad, how ever, that Mr. Wellace has taken up the subject of the General Post-office, and that he is determined to carry inquiry into the whole of its system. We hope the chief authorities will give him all the assis tance in their power; for it will redound to their credit and advantage, as well as to the public bene fir, if he be enabled to achieve a complete reforma tion of this great national and commercial establish ment.-11forning Herald. The Navy Estimates were brought on last night. Sir James Graham gave a succinct account of the reductions which had taken place generally in the public expenditure, and particularly in the Navy. In the year preceding the retirement of the Duke of Well'ng,-ton, taxes were reduced to the extent of 3,200,0001., a co-equal reduction of expenditure having taken place. Since 1830, Ministers had re duced taxes to the extent of 3,200,000/. ; and this, with the Duke of Wellington's reductions, made, in all, 6,400,000/. When Ministers came into power they found the annual expenditure susceptible of re duction 15 millions : they had now reduced it to 12 millions, being 20 per cent. on the whole dis bursements of the nation. There would this year be an additional reduction of 500,000/., of which what was within his department would amount to 180,0001. Since 1831, the reduction in the Navy Estimates alone had been no less than one million; and, with this year, it would be in all 1,200,000/, The Right Hon. Baronet specified the various items on which the saving would be made. There had been diminwion of 500 men, and an addition of 500 boys. This change was the result of the discussions of last session, when the attention of the Admiralty was called to the fact, that it was of great importance to induce boys to go to sea for the first time in the King's service. " Boys so entering acquired a de cided preference to that service; and it was one of the means of supplying the navy with men without resort to forcible impressment." In all, the number to be employed was 27,500 men, including 9,000 marines; and 1,000 boys. The general feeling in the House seemed to be, that in the present state of the world, the navy ought to be maintained in an effective state, and the proposition of Mr. Hume to reduce the number of men was very ill received. In answer to the charge of an improper exercise of patronage by favouring the aristocracy, Sir James expressly " denied the charge. It was altogether unfounded. If there had been any leaning at all, it was towards other classes; but he was not con scious that there had been any leaning either the one way or the other. It was of the utmost conse quence that patronage should be distributed among all classes, and without any other regard than to merit alone; and on this principle he (Sir James Graham) had always acted." The case of Captain Ross was introduced by Mr. Cutler Fergusson, who announced that on an early day he would move that a certain sum be given to him for the losses he had incurred and the discoveries he had made in the North Seas. This announcement was received with cheers, and Mr. Chapman said he should second any proposition for voting a reward to that merito rious officer.—Morning Chronicle. NEWPORT, ISLE OF WIGHT, FEBRUARY 15.—A public meeting of the Dissenters of the Isle of 'Wight was held at the Baptist Chapel, High-street, New. port, en Tuesday, to present a memorial to Earl Grey. The meeting was very numerous. The speakers were— the Rev. Messrs. Bishop, Giles, Hill, and J. Davies ; A. Clarke, T. and J. Cooke, and K. G. Kirkpatrick. Esqrs., and Messrs. Gould, Wilkins, Sayer, Brama, and Cooper. On the motion of Mr. J. Gould, A. Clarke, Esq., was calved to the chair. The language of this meet ing was very strong. The memorialists agreed in all points with those from Nottingham, and were anxious to convey that sentiment to Earl Grey. A memorial, in accordance, alluding to the local statistics of Newport, was drawn up and signed.—Portsmouth Herald. An attempt was made upon the life of Captain Robinson, of Ardfinnan, County of Tipperary, a f w nights since. He was fired at and dangerously rounded by a band of assassins. Tue cause assigned is that he had threatened legal proceedings for the recovery of rent from some of his tenantry. DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT OF A PERSON WEANING HIS DIA4ESTY ' S UNIFORII.-Yesterday morn• ing, as a respectabifemarried lady, a resident in this city, was proceeding alone from Gardiner-street to Mountjny. square, she was followed by an infantry officer, belonging to one of the regiments at present in garrison, who behaved towards her in the most ungentlemanly and insulting manner. The lady went into a shop to avoid him, but she was pureded thither, and this gallant gentleman several time` poked his head under her bonnet, which threw her into such a st-te of agitation, that she lost the presence of mind which would have pointed out to her that, by call. ing upon some gent:eman passing !)y, a stop must hare beer. Flit to the impertinent conduct of her unmanly tor mentor. The name and regiment of this individual are at present unknown, but the lady will be able to recognise hi 3 parson, and her husband will take care that both shall be made known to the puhlic, on the first opportunity. In this ins'ance such conduct cannot in any way be defended, rs t'ie officer must have perceived that the lady was mar ried.—Dublin Freeman's Journal. - • EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE. -.—On Friday night last, the Governor of the House of C ;rrec tion at Swansea, let loose his •iog to range the garden and space between the outer wall and prisons, which before that had always been kept tied up. In the morning, he was again secured, but four ducks, which had been left in the yard, were not to be found, and there being no trace of feathers nor means of escape, the astonishment at ttis strange disappearance was not dispelled until Sunday morning, when it was discovered that the dog had dug holes in the garden, some yards apart, and bad buried the ducks i❑ them ! In one ease, however, he failad, in degree, which occasioned the discovery, although inge nuity was exercised to complete it, namely, one of the holes was dug so near to a fennel bush, that the head of the duck protruded underneath it, and as the dog could not completely, cover it, he placed thereon ketone., Still, however, the duck was dug out alive, awl is likely to survive the extraordinary treatment; the others were of course suffocated, though neither bad the appearance of ray bite or other injury. The graves had been patted down very closely by the paws of the dog.— Cambrian. COURT OF CHANCERY, FEB. 17. HUNTER V. ATKINS. Mr. REYNELL was bend for the defendant. Sir EDWARD SUCIDEN having replied, judgment was postponed. Eli PARTE BARDWELL, IN THE MATTER OF VENABLES, A BANKRUPT• The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment in this matter, which was argued on Saturday last. John Jacks.tiard well had bee❑ summoned before one of the Commissioners of Bankrupts to give an account of the way in which be became possessed of some goods removed from the house of the bankrupt. He was then fully examined, and the examination was resumed and continued on the 11th of January before the same Commissioner, and the answers of the witness appearing to him unsatisfactory, the Learned Commissioner committed him to the custody of a Messenger until he should be brought before a subdivi- sion Court. Being afterwards brought before a subdi vision Court, he was asked whether be could give any further explanation of the transaction, or whether he would abide by his former examination ; and he said he had nothing further to add, but would abide by his an swers as already given by him. The subdivision Court then committed him, and he was brought up here on his petition praying to be discharged from that commitment. The warrant of the subdivision Court, after reciting that the prisoner was examined as to a colourable purchase and removal of goods belonging to the bankrupt, set forth the whole of the questions and answers—and it appeared that the witness was told of the charges touching which he was examined, anti the language used to him was not detrimental but useful, as giving him a knowledge of the charges. There was nothing, therefore, in the objection to the commitment on that ground. After some further remarks his Lordship thought the witness must be dis charged, and that the costs should be paid (suvequent to the making out of the commitment) out of the estate. The COURT rose at four o'clock. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FEB. 17. LAWRIE V. DARBY. .. • The SOLICITOR-GENERAL appeared for the phintiff; and Mr. F. Poi.Locx for the defendant. . . -- This was an action of trover to recover some trinkets alleged to be the property of the plaintiff, and unlawfully retained by the defendant. The plaintiff had been the second husband of the defendant's mother. There were no children by this second marriage, and the defendant was the only offspring of the first marriage. At his mo ther's death, she gave the trinkets in quest'on to the de fendant's wife; hot there was no proof that she did so with the assent of her husband. A demand and refusal were proved, so as to entitle plaintiff, in point of form, to maintain the anion ; and :t was shown that the parties had been before a judge, on a summons taken out by the plaintiff, to stay proceedings on the delivering up of some i.f the articles demanded. For the defence, it was urged, that the plaintiff had affirinkd the gift of his wife, 'Although, in the first instance, it . had not been made with his assent. Tile LORD CHIEF JUSTICE suggested that there really was no legal d.-fem'e to the action, and, at his recommenda tion, terms offered by the Solicitor-General were accepted. A verdict was taken fur the plaintiff—Damages, 201. to be reduced to l s. on the trinkets being given up. This case was enlivened by the following incident ; An old Scotch woman in the gallery, in the course of the Solicitor• General's reply, either recognising with delight the voice of her countryman, or being interested for one of the parties (the plaintiff it may be presumed ftom the ❑ame), exclaimed aloud, " Tue Scotchtnan's right—l'll stand up for the &veil!" She was desired to be silent ; but her national fervour could not be repressed, It broke out in repeated exclamations of the same kind. The Court was in some confusion. Every one rote from his seat. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, and several gentlemen in the front, uttered the question, " What is the tcatter ?" The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, leaning from the B-mela towards the Learned Solicitor-General, answered, " Oh, it is only a junior of yours in this cause." The officers were then ordered to take the old woman out of Court, unless she woulif promise to be quiet. She refused to promise, and was removed from the Court. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, FEB. 17. (Before Mr. Baron GuRNEY and a Common Jury.) HALLEIT V. WOOD. • This was an action brought for the recovery of a balance of 121. 10s. alleged to be owing by the defendant, att at torney, in Clement's Inn, to the plaintiff, a tailor, in South Molton-street for clothes. Tue plaintiff's demand for good; e.ild and delivered to the defendant was originally 731. L. 6,1. There were several bill and cash transactions between them, on which, together with a returned coat, the defendant claimed a set-off—by which, it would appear the plaintiff was indebted to him. Several witnesses were examined on both sides respecting their knowledge of these transactions; and a question arose respecting a 40/. bill, ❑otice to produce which wqs alleged by the plaintiff to have been served upon the defendant. The defendant, on the other hand, called upon the plaintiff to produce the bill ; but this he was unable to do. . The Learned JUDGE, in summing up, said that in the ah,tnce of the bill the Jury must find for the defendant. The Jury, notwithstanding, returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount of his claim. His LORDSHIP—I am sorry for it, Gentlemen, bec tuse the verdict cannot stand ; it is not good in law; and is only putting parties to further expense. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION 110 USE. A young man, named George Perry, the driver of a cab, was yesterday brought before the LORD MAYOR un der the following remarkable circumstances : The proprietor of the Three Nuns Inn, in Whitechapel, stated that a young man, named Charles Wright, the sou of a linen-draper at Halesworth, in Suffolk, came to town by the Brighton coach on Tuesday last, and slept at the Three Nuns. Next morning he appeared to be in a state of insanity, and witness directed that care should betaken of him. He ran out of the house, however, and got into a cab, but the driver, having been told that the man was in a state of derangement, refused to drive. The unfor tunate young fellow then got into a coach, but the driver acted as the cabman had acted, having received a similar caution. The prisoner, however, was not so scrupulous, and Mr. Wright having jumped into his vehicle, he paid no attention to the remonstrance, but drove off. Appre• hensions were entertained for the insane person, who had money and other property about him, and at night he re turned to Whitechapel, but not to the Three Nuns, ap peared to be a state of great terror, was covered w mud, and deprived of his cash and other property. The prisoner was not with him, and a representation having been made to the LORD MAYOR for a summons for the cab-driver, his Lordship instantly ordered a warrant to be issued. Mr. Legg, a farmer, of Croydon, in Essex, saw - Mr. Wright get into the prisoner's cab, and called out to the prisoner-that the gentleman was mad ; the caution was, however, altcitether disregarded. The landlord of the White Hart Inn, at Romford, stated that at about five o'clock on Wednesday, the pri soner drove Mr. Wright up to the hense. Soon niter the arrival, Mr. Wright sent for the witness and toLiabito. to discharge the cabman, as, it was_his intention to., go further into the country with nest-horses. Witness kohl the cabman, who required to be paid his fare, and Mr. Wright, upon being informed of the cabman's desire,.said, " Oh yes," and wanted the witness to lend him four or five pounds. Witness perceived in a very short time that Mr. Wright was decidedly mad, and mentioned to the cabman his belief with respect to the condition of that gentleman's mind ; " Oh, A kr.om he is mad," said the cab.aan. " And what made you bring him here ?" 930 the witness. " I didn't know (replied the prisoner) until I saw the Braintree coachman on the road, and he tola me that people were looking for 'the gentleman at the- Three Nuns." The waiter at the White Hart Inn, Romford, stated, that Mr. Wright hail, when at the Inn, two silver watches, to one of which were attached two small seals and a guard. He had also a purse, in which witness saw a sovereign and some paper, but it was impossible to say whether it was Bank paper or not. Witness was in the room when the cabman -entered and demanded his fare, and Mr. Wright said upon the occasion, " I gave you two sovereigns as we came along." The cabman denied having received the money, and Mr. Wright pulled out one of his watches, and wanted witness to land him three s overeigns.upon it. 'I he proprietor of the White Hin said, in addition to his evidence, that he advised the cabman to drive the un fortunate gentleman back again to town, and received his promise to do so. After paying the bill, they went off towards town. - Mr. Wright had, it appeared, ordered tea for the cab man, and asked him to stop at Raenford all night. Mr. Beaufoy, of Whitechapel, stated that Mr. Wight walked into his house on Wednesday night, and said that people wanted to murder him. He had neither purse I nor watch about him, and bad evidently fallen in the mud. A gentleman, named Bisset, stated that lie had seen Mr. Wright before that gentleman went to Rumford, and he had at the time a watch with a guard to it, and, to the best of witness's belief, ten or twelve sovereigns in his purse. There were two or three seals attached to the watch. A constable, who executed the warrant, found a bunch of small seals upon a ring on the person of the prisoner ; and Mr. Bisset and the waiter of the inn at Rumford stated that they resembled the seals which were attached to one of Mr. Wright's watches. The LORD Mayoa said the case was certainly one of very great suspicion, but perhaps the prisoner could satis factorily account for the possession of the seals, as well as for his conduct in driving the gentleman to Romford, and in not taking him back to the Three Nuns Inn. Mr. Hobler, jun., who appeared for the prisoner, did not offer any explanation in the present stage of the !__ • inquiry. Tlo LORD MAron—lt is quite at the prisoner's option to explain or not. Mr. Holder, jun.—His case has been only just put into my hands. The insane person might have been robbed after leaving the cab, and my client might have found the seals in the cab. The LORD MAI-ma—We must have somebody from Brighton to look at these seals. lam afraid that many losses of this kind occur in cabs. The prisoner was then remanded till Saturday. Two respectably dressed men, named Donovan and Jones, were brought up on a charge of robbery. Miss Alaiy Ann Davison, of the Bank Coffee-house, stated, that as she was walking withlit.gentleman of the name of Graves, near the corner of Hounsditch, there was a crowd of persons collected. The prisoner Donovan stood in her way, and coughed, and immediately several persons surrounded her. The prisoner took her suddenly by the arm, and said, " you don't take care, Ma'am, you'll be run over," although there was nothing coming along in the sweet from which she could apprehend injury 'of the kind. The prisoner Donovan then, and the others who were with him, went off, and witness upon putting her hand in her pocket missed her purse, which contained two sovereigns and some silver. It was proposed by Mr. Graves that they should go back in search of the thieves, and on their return they met Donovan, who shunned them, and would have gone off had not the witness seiz , d him by the arm and put him into the custody of an officer. She knew nothing of the prisoner Jones. An Irish watel.man said be beard a cry of " Stop thief," on the spot, and saw Jones running along and joining Imtily in the cry. As Jones ran along, his hat, in which was his handkerchief, fell off, but on he ran quite regardless of his loss. Hobler, jun. (for the prisoner)—He was running after the thief. The LORD MAYOR,--.0, no doubt of it ;he cared not how he sacrificed his own property for - the sake of public justice.—(A lauja.) The watchman—He was running after the people, but there was nobody running before lien.—(Laughter.) Remanded. Q UEEN- S Q UIRE. Yesterday, a young man, named James Benson, was charged with the following daring highway robbery:— Mr. Walton, of the Gloucester Coffeehouse, was re turning home with his wife on the previous night, aril on arriving at Whitehall, the prisoner and another man walked before them, when Mr. Walton endeavoured to pass. At this moment the prisoner snatched at his watch and seals, and broke tie chain, a portion of which, with the appen dßges, he handed over to his companion, who e,caped, but the prisoner was seized by Mr. Walton, and, notwith standing he struggled violently to liberate himself, was detained until the arrival of a policeman of the A division, who took him into custody. The prisoner was identified as one of the men who robbed a lady of her reticule in Regent-street a short time since. He was remanded for a week. Lord C. J. F.

THE FRENCH PRESS.—In the Chamber of Deputies OA Wednesday last, M.

A report has reached us that two under-gra duates of one of our superior colleges, men of family, have been expelled the University, within these ten days for very high gambling in their rooms. It is stated upwards of 800/. was lost by one of them in one night's play. The seve re example made on the delinquents is praiseworthy, as we. have been long convinced large sums are still played for by young men of family at their college rooms, in " night's darkest hours." These transactions so seldom meet the light, that when discerned immediate and con dign punishment should be the result. —Cambridge In dependent Press. U ;c NEW CUSTOMS' REGULATIONS IN FRANCE.

With the returns this week of the rate of subsistence on the Continent, compared with Great Britain, which do not fall off in interest, is combined score curious infor mation respecting the ra+e of wages, which, instead of falling, according to the principle heretofore laid down, wish the decline in price of the necessaries of life, is found to have increased materially, thus doubling the benefit to the industrious classes. _ _ The highest price of wheaten flour of the first quality at Paris is 46f. the 159 kilogrammes, which answers to 295. the English sack of 2801 h. ; and the highest price of wheaten flour in London is 509. the sack. Hence it fol lows that flour is 72 2-sths per cent. dearer in London than at Paris, and that with the sum of 2/. 10s. a man may buy 48316. of fine flour at Paris, whereas with the same sum he cars buy only 23016. in London.

The following are the prices of wheat at Toulouse:- Superior qualities, 15f. to 16f.; fine quality, 14f. ; mid dling quality, 13l'. 50c. ; which gives a mean price of 14f. 621 c. per hectolitre, and which equals 335. 6d. the English quarter of 8 bushels imperial measure. At Peronne the prices of wheat are as follows :-First quality, 13f. 25c. ; second quality, 121. 75c. ; third quality, Ilf., which gives a mean price of 121. 33 1-3 c. the hectolisre ; and which auswers to 28s: 3d. the Eng lish quarter of eight bushels imperial measure.

The price of wheaten flour of the first quality is 25'. 50c. the 101 kilogrammes, which answers to 255. 3d. the English sack of 2801 b., and the price of flour in London being 50s. the sack, it follows that flour is 98 per cent. dearer in London than at Cambray. At Soisscins the following are the prices of wheat:- First quality, 187 f. to 192 f. ; second quality, 180 f. to 185 f. ; third quality, 172 f. to 1761. per IS hectolitres, which gives a mean price of 182 f., and which equals 235. 2d. the English quarter of eight bushels imperial measure.

The highest price of flour at Soissons being 235. 41., and the highest price in London being 50s. the sack, it follows that flour is 114* per cent. dearer in London than at Soissons, and that with the sum of 21. 10s. a man may buy 6001 b. of flour at Soissons, whereas with the sante sum he can only buy 2804). in London. Ac , cording to a proces-verbal drawn up at Soissons, by order of the French Government, the wheat of that district of the harvest of 1833 weighs as follows :-Frst quality, 79 kilogrammes; second quality, 77 kilogrammes; third quality, 75 kilogrammes the hectolitre, which answers respectively to 63 1-516., 61 1-51 b., and 6016. the Eng lish bushel imperial measure. The mean weight is 77 kilogrammes the hectolitre, which answers to 61 3-51b.the English bushel imperial measure. The price of wheaten bread of the first quality at Dun kirk is 11 soils per 41b. French weight, which is leas than 441. for the loaf o 41b. English weight. The price of bread of the second quality is 8 sous per lb. French weight, which is less than 31d. tor the loaf of 41b. English weight. The wheaten bread of the first quality at Dun kirk as well as at Paris, and generally throughout France, is much superi,r to the best wheaten bread in London. T•, price of butcher's meat at Durik;ik-that is, of beef, mutton, and veal all rou nd, is 11 sous per French weight, which is less than &id. per lb. English weight. The price of pork is 9 sous per lb. French weighr, which is less than 4d. per lb. English weight. All is of excellent quality. It deserves to be often and deep'y considered, that while, since the harvest of 1832, the prices of corn in France have been gradually the money wages of labour have been as gradually rising, and are now, on the average, higher than it: the United Kingdom ; and of course taking into consideration the lower prices of food, and generally of the necessaries find conveniences of lie, that the real wages of labor: in France are very consider. j ably higher than in the United Kingdom. The same observation respecting wa;es applies to England and Scotland, though not to the satne extent. In 1830 the average price of wheat was 64 9 . 3 t 12 ; in 1831 it was 665. 6d. ; ia 1832 it was 59 5 . 4d. ; in 1833 it way 535., and not.v it is 49 5 . ; an d yet , w hil e corn teas I.llen, it is certain that the money wages of le.h , ur in the manufacturing districts of England and Scotland have risen, and if the same advance has not taken place in the wages of agricultural labour, this is to be accounted for by the operation of the corn 'Akre. REV. EDWARD IRVING.—For two Sundays past, the Rev. Mr. Irving has been holding forth to the congregation of Mr. Tait, in Carrubber's Close ; and dur ing the week days also, we are told, he has been employed in the same exercise. He promulgates that be has been commissioned in a vision from the Lord to come down to this city, which is lying so deep in wickedness, that, with the exception of the church of the Angel of the'Lord (Mr, Tait) there is nothing but the semblance of a church in it. The ministers of Edinburgh, he says, are like the hireling who flyeth irom the sheep when the wolf cometh. They are hirelings who care not for the flock—who flee hi-cause they are hirelings—and who, when the good shep herd appeareth, immediately conspire among themselves whereby they might destroy him. The church of Edin burgh is, in his opinion, the synagogue of Satan—Baby, lon the Great, the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth—but the " true church (namely, Mr. Tait's) is destined to be " the door of the sheep," and by it " if any man enter he shall go in and out and find pasture." We may state also, that while Mr. Irving preaches from the Precentor's desk, Mr. Tait presides in the pulpit, and ge nerally makes a few remarks at the conclusion of the ad dresses of the other gentleman.
