The Revenue for the past Quarter is now be fore the public, and under all the circumstances is very satisfactory. Though at first sight there appears a deficiency of 740,3091., yet, in reality, there is an increase when the amount of taxes remitted is taken into consideration. By the abolition of the Beer Tax, three millions were sacrificed, besides the whole of the Taxes on Leather and Cider, making altogether a reduction of 3,500,000/. Notwithstanding this, the loss on the year amounts only to 1,134,9471. This clearly demonstrates that a Judicious reduction of taxation improves the Revenue and benefits the people. The chief decrease in the present quarter is in Excise, which is accounted for by the reduction of the Beer, Leather, and Cider Taxes, coming into full operation. On Stamps there is also a small falling off, but we do not wonder at this, for the Stamps will not be a more productive revenue till placed on a more equitable and less inquisitorial footing. Next week Lord A LTHORP W ill bring in his Bill for the consolidation of these duties, when we may hope that a more liberal Spirit will prevail. On the whole we think that t he Revenue bids fair to improve in proportion 4 a wise and discriminating policy remits or modifies those taxes that at present press most Unequally upon the productive energies and re sources of the country. The following are.extracts from Brussels and qerman Papers received this morning : th _lihussims, APRIL 2. —Proceedings are commenced in et 7, affair of Gen e ral Nypels, and those in the affair of li t t o a rtel B oremans con ti nue . Both of them have been in i o rY confinement since yesterday.

Pella de Merode has returned to this city. rime Journals have announced that Count D'Aerschot b a twice received by Lord Palmerston, and that he hsd each tim e a long intetview with him. According to tlie : Odepende n t these intrrviews were not official. deeree of th e Regent dated the 31st of March orders that as the Committee appointed to class the officers of the army according to their seniority has hitherto been unable to act, in consequence of the frequent absences of General Nypels, Colonel Boremans, and Lieutenant-Colonel Ha mesas, their discharge is granted to those officers, and others are appointed members of the Committee in their room. We have just received the Journals of Antwerp. Tin Emancipation (Brussels paper) gives the particulars of the riots at Antwerp yesterday and the day before. Thi. city has been declared by General Beaulieu in a state of siege. The Dutch, to the number of 300, have just landed (April 1, iwo o'clock) at Cann°, a Belgian port. three leagues off, towards the sea. They have cut ail the roads leading to it. Oa the news of the troubles at Brussels and Liege, great apprehensions were felt at Verviers. and all necessary precautions were taken, whirl; seemed the more necessary, as a letter was received from the Burgomaster of Liege, announcing that a person of consequence had left Liege with a large sum of money, in tending to excite a re-action at Verviers in favour of the dethroned family. Tne Civic Guards were immediately called out. Happily this measure was not necessary, and the Guards were soon allowed to retire, as there was no danger for the moment. The Regiment of Liege has published an Order of the Day to the Civic Guard. expressing in strong terms the indignation and grief the Magistrates at the deplorable excesses of the 2Sth and 29th of March, and exhorting the Guard to be firm and prompt in suppressing any future excesses. The Burgomaster announces that the principal insti gators, Ri well as many of the wretches who were guilty of pillage, were in the hands of justice, and will be se verely punished. Tranquillity is restored at Liege, and on Holy Thursday the people crowded the Chambers as usual. BOLZ A NO, MARCH 24. —By the last post, orders were received to organise a corps uf 20,000 landuiehr in the Tyrol, of which 5,000 are to ready for active service. The Government has . all ;at once suspended ail public works of every kind which have no connection with mili tary armament,s. We have just :received the following :—" A gentleman recently arrived from the Continent acquaints the editor of The Sun, that almost every account of the situation of the Russian army is fabricated in Paris and Hamburg. Travellers, and particularly English and English Newspapers, are invariably stopped in Prussia and throughout Germany." Does not this clearly prove the community of interest that exists between Austria, Russia, and Prussia ? Where is now Prince METTERNICH'S respect for the principle of non-intervention ? It is, like a great Duke's definition of a county meeting, all a farce. The boroughmongers, we find, are at their old tricks again. We did this squad but bare justice, when we asserted that they were veterans in craft, and that lying, fraud, and chicanery were their Penates, their household gods, by whorl! they swore, and to whom they looked up for as sistance on all occasions where their own selfish, domestic interests were at work. We under rated rather than over-rated their accomplish. ments, when we asserted that they were as un principled as they were rapacious, and would submit to any meanness, perpetrate any enor mity, provided that by so doing they might further the advancement of themselves, their mistresses, and their serfs. A fresh proof of the Jesuitical subtilty of this squad, and which more than bears out our opinion of them, is now lying before us. They have, it seems, by means of their emissaries,— so writes an intelligent correspondent from Hereford,—circulated) for the last fartnight,. throughout that and the adjacent counties, thou sands and thousands of circulars, the object of which is to persuade the farmers that in lending their sanction to the Reform Bill, they are seal ing their own ruin. The circular states that the main object of the Bill is to raise the . commer cial, at the expense of the agricultural, in terests ; and that the very first thing a Reformed Parliament will do, will be to in troduce a free trade in corn, which will be the inevitable and irreparable ruin of all the farmers in the kingdom. The circular goes on to observe that if the Bill be carried, the agri cultural interests will to a certainty lose a hundred and eleven friends, and have forty-three addi tional opponents ; and concludes with an earnest entreaty that in justice to themselves, the farmers will seize this, perhaps the last, opportunity, of supporting all those who vote against Reform. To this precious document the signature, " A Freeholder of Herefordshire" is affixed, evi dently for the purpose of blinding the eyes of the credulous and the inexperienced. The disguise, however, is so flimsy, that it is im possible not to penetrate it. The cloven foot betrays itself at every sentence. The borough monger stands confessed in every assertion. We shall not insult the intelligent English yeo manry by requesting them not to be led astray by this insidious circular. We allude to it more by way of exposure than of warning ; to show them of what stuff their sham friends are made, rather than to exhort them not to place reliance on their assertion:. It must be evident even to the most ordinary capacity, that so far from injuring the farming interests, Reform is the only measure that can preserve, and give them influence and stability; that its principle is one of conservation, not of destruction ; its main object to render equal justice to all inte rests ; to encourage agriculture, but not to the detriment of commerce ; to protect commerce, but not to the injury of agriculture. We have seen what the farmer has been of late years, under the tvo-fold visitation of the tax and tithe gatherer; we have seen to what straits be has been reduced under the healing sway of an unreformed Parliament ; 'we have seen how he has gradually declined from bad to worse, and from worse to worst, under the tre mendous despotism of the boroughmongjeuzic-e—, o n what principle, thin, whether of reason, or expediency, is he now called on to vote for the farther coninuance of that system which has reduced him o such unparalleled dis tress ? Do the Anti-Reitrmers expect that having but just escaped (and notunscathed) the visitation of Swing, the farmer give any furthersupport to a system under wiose protecting auspices that famous incencliar , was reared, educated, and brought to maturry ? No, no. A burnt child dreads the fire. Lie farmer has had quite enough of Swing, the idest son of the borough mongers, and will hetieforth endeavour to do his best to root out the misceant and his parents from the r u land. nand t Having hera Ie it , beet b brought ,a anae to g the of unreformed ParliaMent, he will no , try what a reformed one ail do ; in the hill, pcfect, and satisfactory con- viction that by such change: his conditiop must be bettered, because it cannot possibly be made worse. For this reason, if for DO other, he will sup. port the Reformers. For this reason he will join heart and hand in extirpating the odious race of boroughniongers; and when that is effected, in continuing his support to that band of patriots by whom the glorious task was consummated. If he do not so, he well knows that Swing will return " with seven others more wicked than himself." Experience, therefore, which has made him wise, will keep him consistent. The great BEAUFORT influence is on the wane. Not even the mighty Duke himself, nor the heir of his consummate public talents, the statesmanlike and all-accomplished WoR CESTER, will be able longer to keep up the unconstitutional power of the Ducal house. Even in Newport, where its influence has hitherto been all but omnipotent, a formi'lable opposi tion is mustering. The Marquis of WORCESTER is on the eve of receiving a pretty strong hint that his constituents will in future be happy to relieve him from the anxieties of public life, and dispense with his further services in Parliament. This is considerate, and even kind on their part, and Will doubtless be duly ap preciated in the proper quarter. The Noble Marquis voted against Reform, and his con.: stituents judge rightly in thinking that this is a sample • of mental imbecility, which proves that the inheritor thereof is wholly un equal to the fatigues of public life. In another column will be found the spirited resolutions of the inhabitants of Newport on this subject. BANK OF ENGLAND.-(THIS DAY.) The Election for Directors of the Bank of England, to serve for the ensuing year, commenced at ten o'cl , ck this morning, and will close at four o'clock. There is no oppo. sition to the house list.

There are small arrivals of all kinds of Grain this week. The Wheat trade remains dull at Monday's prices. Barley also meets a slack demand. In Beans and Pease there is no alteration in value.

We have no arrivals this morning either of foreign mails . or ship letters, but the Dutch steamer is expected ; -and according to calculation it will not bring later ;recounts than those previously received from Hamburg. We hear of the arrival of an express from Paris, the contents of which have not as yet transpired. It is stated that a Prussian loan is on the lapis of ten millions sterling ; and the old Prussian loan, of which there is about four millions in hand, is to be included in the above loan, which will make the new one ab tut seven millions sterling. The new foreign loans which are now about to be contracted for, will, no doubt, be severely felt in this country, by causing the money going out of the country; and we hear that large shipments of this precious metal are in preparation to be sent to Hamburg. Accounts from Brussels state that some commotions took place at Malinga. A numerous assembla4e of persons went to the house of the Government Commissary, de manding from him an order for the release of all persons in prison detained when the Dutch retreated. He was obliged to comply with their request, and the prisoners were set at liberty, after which the mob dispersed. LIVERPOOL, Aram 4. —There has been a considerable improvement in the demand of plantation sugar, upwards of 800 imhds. have been sold at full prices. We have had a good demand for cotton throughout the week, particularly tqwards the close, and time pt i• es of Bowed, (Means, and Mobile, have advanced in some instances a farthing per pond. It appears that an Evening Journal of last night made a great blunder, in its usual sagacity, by stating that the revenue of the quarter would not be one-third of eight hundred thousand pounds. THE FUNDS. Consols, which left off yesterday at 78.1 I f - for the ac. count, opened at 78i but on the report of an express from Paris, with an idea, in the Stock Exchange, that the Rentes came higher, Consols improved to 781 a ; at present they are 781 buyers. There are different opinions amongst our city politicians in regard to the revenue. By some it is looked upon as unfavourable, and by others on the contrary, as it is exprcted that Ministers will now require assistance. In the Foreign market there is little doing as yet. HALF-PAST ONE. Nothing is suffered to transpire as yet in regaid to the express from Paris ; all that we know is, that the French Rentes come I -Lt per cent. higher. Hid the political in formation brought by it been of any importance, and fa vourable, it would soon have been made public. The Dutch steamer has just arrived ; but the papers and letters are not as yet delivered. We have made some inquiry in reprd to the Prussian loan, and it is said it will not be io the atent which we first stated. The Consol market is not so good as in the early part of the morning, when they were done at 781 since which they have receded to 781 and the same for money. There being now a supply of money stock in the market, the decline is gone off. in Foreign Funds little doing, as the chief attention of :he speculators is directed towards the British market.

Notwithstanding the attempts of certain writers to impugn the veracity of Bourrienne, his Life of Napoleon is generally admitted to convey the most correct and impartial estimate of the Ex-Emperor yet afforded to the public. The work has indeed attained such celebrity, that almost every language in Europe can boast of more than one translation. We are not sur prised that such a value should have been at tached to the narrative of Bourrienne, for he pictures to us the Ex-Emperor as he really was; he is not held up to us as a demi-god or a mon ster, according to the views of political parties— but we see the living man before us. The present cheap and elegant edition con tains no less than seventeen spirited embellish ments, representing some of the principal battles described in the work, and including striking likenesses of the Ex-Emperor and of the two Empresses, &c. Another grand feature consists in the confirmation of Bourrienne's statements by persons who took part i❑ the scenes de scribed—such as the Duke of Rovigo, Count Las Cases, General Rapp, and others, who, from the high and official situations which they held, must necessarily be eminently qualified to set at rest any doubtful or disputed points in the career of the great original. Add to this numerous notes from the dictations of Bonaparte him self, while at St. Helena, confer a peculiar value - on the present edition. Enough has been said, we think, to show that this work, which has been pronounced, " a his tory of the most extraordinary man and the most extraordinary times that ever invited elucidation, and which must continue to the latest ages a re cord of invaluable interest," presenting such claims to popularity as we have already speci fied, can scarcely fail to command it. It forms, certainly the cheapest and most complete Life of Napoleon extant. We must not omit to add that an Index, containing the names of every person, place, and remarkable event recorded in the volumes, confers additional value on this very popular biography. RUSSIA. (From the Morning Chronicle Private Correspondent.) ST. PETERSBURGH, MARCH 14.—We are all much disappointed at the little progress made by Diebitsch. The Emperor was fully convinced that nothing would be more easy than to arrange with " Messrs. le Polonais." The old aristocracy of Russia cannot listen with any degree of ellmness to the mere sug gestion of an eventful defeat. They would decidedly go the whole length of burning every town and hamlet in Poland, and of putting all the in ha►bitants to death, by fire and sword, ►ather than give in. -There is no aristocracy in the world so aristocra tical as that of this country. They urge on the Empe ror the duty of making Poland a province of Russia, and almost venture to reproach the late Emperor for having given to them a Constitution. They have lately impressed on his Majesty the duty of prevent ing the youth of this empire from proceeding to foreign parts to receive their education. His. Ma jesty has made, in consequence,.

His Majesty has been assured, that had not the Polish youth been educated at Paris, and witnessA the French Revolution, and imbibed the " dangerous" doctrines there taught of liberty and equality, a Revolution in Poland would not have been made. In case the first expedition against the Poles should be unsuccessful, you may rely on a second being attempted and carried into execution. No thing will induce the Emperor to listen to any terms, until a complete submission has been made on the part of the Voles. He might then be persuaded to name a Pole for Viceroy, and even to grant additional liberties ; but these concessions must be preceded by a complete submission. Baron Dames and the Duke of Mortemart both find them selves at Sr. Petersburgh. This is a very curious coincidence. The latter is a great favourite with the Emperor, but he has been compelled to listen to very disagreeable satires on the " Barricades" and the Marselloise Hymn. The Ex-Monarch of France has not lost all hopes of obtaining the assist ance of the Ernperor; and.if the revolution in Po land be Speedily settled, his Majesty would be urged to w a r by the Court and the Aristocracy.

The Craven Stakes completely answered the expecta tion of those who had made their calculations from Priam's running last year; nothing could have been won with greater ease. Colonel Wilson's colt made the running all the way, Priam lying well up with the others till just at the finish, when Robinson took him to the front, anti won by three lengths without the slightest difficulty. The pace was very severe, and the two-year-olds were beaten off very early in the race ; most of the others were tailed off some distance from home. The betting was 2tol on Priam, 6 to 1 agat Tranby (taken), 8 to 1 agat Turk. The Handicap was remarkable only for the unusual ex tent of the field, which was composed of 14 horses of an inferior grade, and these came off so perfectly is line that it would be difficult to say which made running. They maintained this beautiful order till very nearly the finish, when Spaniel, Whip, and Zillah, were in front, the former leading, and winning cleverly by a length. Ardelia and Cloudesley were tolerably well up: S to 1 agst Spaniel, 5 to 1 agst Steamer, 7 to 1 agat Zillah, 7 to I agst Lord Egretnont's. The only race that requires notice is the Riddlesworth, and this not so much for the sport it pro duced as from its intrinsic and relative importance.— Filagree had been backed heavily by the party who booked winning as a certainty; the result justified their expecta tions, and showed how correctly they had taken the mea sure of their h wee. Lord Exeter's colt made the runnier at a good pace, Filagree lying in his wake, with Lord Anson's, till they were about two hundred yards from borne. Here George Edwards began to draw upon Lord Exeter's, being at the time about a length astern. Fifty yards from home it looked like a race between these two, especially as Edwards was observed to - threaten his horse, who is of a sluggish temperament. This, however, had the desired effect, for be went ahead, and won by a length cleverly, but not by any means in the style that Priam carried off the same Stakes last year : he was not flogged, although the spur, we believe, was found to he of some use. He immediately rose in the betting for the Derby, and deservedly so, for his running is fat better than that of any other horse in the race; indeed it is the only decent running that has been seen.

An opera in three acts, founded on the well-known story of Zemirct and Azor, or the Beauty and the Beast, with music quite new in this country, composed by was last night brought out at this theatre, under the re versed title of a'hor and Zendra. SYollit is at this moment considered the first living composer in Germany. Pre.: :f h t n e a o r t d a l e. a o B s u lk 2 4 o: vious to the year 1820, his celebrity in the musical world had been attained through his extraordinary powers on the violin, and a great abundance of compositions in which a le tiling part is almost invariably assigned to that instru ment. His quartets are master pieces of instrumental music, and abound perhaps in a greater degree than his f,otherauuse et compositions sfht tviolin, thm i i r is i , esscct:pearbc, advantagea l o tl f V p ' i . e o l t l dhu a ec s passagesi ne r g r aoa.unitldieee Ad bt l y e e o hs o ui scncpert success oi n of e u d hsi h.f.aiesianrtell,ireoruesg encouragedhs t a s y s to i n Ginm dramaticta,n, Germany, proceed. composition, t on, He andhas since written several operas, amongst the earliest and best of which we believe the one performed last night is num here .1. The general characier of the music belonging to this opera is not striking. It is evident that in penning it the composer was not influenced by any speculative-consi derations as to stage effect, but merely foltaesaa sks ass- ... tates of his own free and uncontrouled g. nius. But it is equally probable that had he at the time possessed much experience in the composition of dramatic music, the beauties of his work would have become more readily accessible to every auditor than is the case at present, A. very pretty trio, assigned to the three female characters in the ' first act, and a grand a i r sung by ,emirsin the last act, are the best things which occur throtighout this opera ; but although they seemed to give great satisfaction, they produced none of those spontaneous bursts of applause in dicative of extraordinary gratification. Miss INvexa- RIMY appeared as Zemira, and did ample justice to the part. Her vocal powers are not called here as greatly into requisition as in Cinderella, though perhaps more work falls upon her hands throughout the performance; but she • sing with admirable spirit, and played with greater.con fidence than in her former part. Much as we admire the chaste elegance of her style of singing, it appears to us that the introduction of a little ornament occasionally would be an improvement. The rigid exclusion of it may degene rate into monotonous simplicity. As Azor, Mr. Wrissoss had but little to do. Ho should wear a mask, in keeping with his external appearance. His uncovered face does not convey the idea of that hideousness which is supposed to belong to the metamorphosed Prince. Mr. PErssom played awl sung with ability. The two Misses CAWSE appeared as Fatima and Lesbia, and sang with good effect to several trios, quartets, and quintets. The chief weight of the performance, however, devolved on Miss IN VERARITY. A great deal of new misery of the most splendid description is exhibited throughout the opera, and crowds of attendants of both sexes, spirits, and figurants of all characters; in rich or grotesque dresses, add considerably to the effect of it as a spectacle. But nothing could be more out of place and out of character thin the costumes adopted by the principal performers, The inci dents of the story are supposed to have occurred in Per sia; but it would he difficult to say what other parts of the globe have supplied the models of the dresses prepared for the dramatis persomr . who were to figure in this artap• tation. The opera was excee.:ingly welt received by a very crowded audience, During the play of Pizarro, at Drury-lane Theatre, on Monday evening, a youth in the gallery, deedly interested in the escape of Alonzo from the prison, cht:med " why don't you put on the cloak ant; bt LT?' This was evidently the involuntary effect of inten4e anxiety, produced by the excellent acting of WALLACK in the part of Rolla. AN OLD ACQUAINTANCE. —Lord Chief Justice Your, when a young man, was very dissipated, . and belonged to a club of wild fellows, nn , st of whim took an infamous course of life. When his Lordship was engaged at the Old Bailey. a man was convicted of a high way robbery, whom the Judge remembered to have been one of his old companions. Moved by curiosity, Hove thinking the fellow did not know him, asked what Cad become of his old associates. The culprit, making a low bOw, and fetching a deep sigh, replied, " Ah, my Lord, they are all hanged, but your Lordship aad 1." A very clever caricature has recently appeared, printed on silk, in the shape of a pocket-handkerchief. It it is entitled " The Attack of the Reformer. on the Old Rotten Tree; or, the Foul Nests of the Cormorants in danger." The Reformers are represented chopping down a large tree, on which is inscribed " rotten borough system." The Dukes of WELLINGTON and NEIreM , TI the Marquis of GRA NDOS., Lords ELDtiN and ELLEN-. mostoncia, and Mr. Pxxt., are attempting to prop it up, exclaiming, " you take our house when you do take away the prop that clorli sustain our house; you take our lie. a when you do take the means whereby we live." The branches of the tree are full of nests, intended to represent the different rotten boroughs, each nest containing one or two cormoranta, apparently screaming I. alarm at their approaching destruction. The likeness of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Lord BuouGn.A.24, Lord GREY, and Sir F. BURDP:TT, and the other principal charterers, are ver y , goad. Their Ma4x , xtEs appear in the back ground, standing on constitution Hill, receiving the thanks and congratulations of their subjects, It is quite certain that half-sovereigns are no longer is.med At the Bank of England, and they are dis appeating so fast from circu'ation that few of the private bankers have any in their possession. The sole motive for this appears to he that of bringing into circulation a larger amount of silver coin, with which the 11.nk is at present overstocked ill a very extraordinary degree.
