The following are Extracts from M. rr ERNAL Work On the Finances of Hayti : The Government of Hayti has a reserve which is valued at 58 millions. It possesses the hidden treasures of Christophe, and it has a surplus of 5 millions annually. Its annual receipts amount to 37 millions, and its expendi ture is between 31 and 32 millions. The army consists of 50 thousand men, and it is expected that, in consequence of the recognition, it may be reduced by 20,000 men, and by which a saving of 7, 500,000 " francs may be effected ; and another sum of 1,500,000 may be saved by economy in the material. An increased commerce will produce an increased revenue, and 'altogether it is not too much to expect that there will be an excess of the receipts over the expenditure of 20 millions. Therefore, supposing that Hayti should be necessitated in order to pay the indemnity to borrow 30millions a year for five years, she would have to pay in the sth year, for the interest of 150 millions, At 6 per cent. - For a 25th part of the principal - 9,000,000 - 5,000,000 15,000,000 and a sum of 20,000,000 to satisfy the same, without any addi- tional imposts. . Two companies have been formed from the most respectable houses, who have undertaken the first loan, and the list was filled on• the very day their meeting was known. Extract of ,an original Letter front Charleston, Sept. 26. " I have been off and on for near thirty years in Charleston, and such a general distress was never known before, Embargoes, non-inter courses, and even war, never caused so general a calamity as the unfortunate speculations in cotton have done. Savannah and all the shipping ports will suffer ; indeed, you may call it a calamity or universal mercantile distress throughout the United States." Cortm TRADE.—The following view of the British Corn Trade is from the annual circular of a house of great respectability, as Corn-factors, in London, issued a few days ago:— " We do not look foward for any material decline in prices, excepting what may be caused by a temporary excess in the supplies during the winter and spring months. We are per suaded, that long before we can reap another crop, this article will recover any thing it may have lost in value ; and with a protracted harvest, next season, we doubt much if our crop of wheat will be found more than sufficient for the consumption ; for with bad weather during the spring and summer, so as to create an alarm for the . fate of the ensuing crop, we think prices are likely to run up very high, even so much as to open the ports. We are satisfied that only fine seasons and abun dant crops can unable us to hold out much longer without hav ing recourse to foreign aid. The Canada wheat that has ar rived under the late Act of Parliament, and admitted . for con sumption, on payment of ss. per quarter duty, is of ordinary quality, and most of it in bad condition. The quantity ar rived is between 7,000 and 8,000 quarters. Now, if wheat, is stated in the foregoing account, be at all correct—and we are strongly inclined to think the reasoning is grounded on accu rate.data—we do think there is the most urgent necessity for a prompt revision of the Corn Laws. We trust, therefore, it will be one of the first things brought before Parliament in the next Session. NVhy should the great land-owners be permit ted to have a monopoly in such a vital article of subsistence as Corn ? It is obvious that the manufacturing interests of the country and the poorer classes generally, must suffer, as long as so unequal and impolitic a tax as that which is accomplish ed by the existing Corn Laws is permitted to continue. We could say a great deal more, but we must defer our arguments till another time, when we shall be nearer the discussions on the important question in Parliament." •, .1.40 RD CoCIIRANE.—T he Liverpool Mercury, of Friday says, 44 We have had an interview with an individual now in Liverpool, who lately served under Lord Cochrane, and who states that arrears of pay are due to him. He addressed a letter to Lord Cochrane upon the subject, with a view to ascer tain how he should apply for redress, with the best chance of success. To this application his Lordship returned a laconic and discouraging answer, which is now before us, and which we here insert:— " I am not the paymaster of the Brazilian Government, otherwise I should have paid myself ; and 1 can give you no information how to recover your dues, not bein ' o•-able to get my own. • "COCHRANE• " To Mr. Peter Keallet, 2, GroSvenor-street, Liverpool." Letters were yesterday received from -Maran ham to a recent date. Every thing was quiet there. Provisions were, however, so very scarce in the interior, as well as the city, that the Go vernor had been compelled to prohibit the ex portation of rice and faritzluz. lle had also issued an order, allowing all vessels, foreign as well as national, to bring in provisions, free of duty. This calamity .was attributed to the extreme dry weather which had been experienced, and which had also materially affected the corning crop of cotton. In consequence of the fall of this article in England the sale was dull. The Glasgow Free Press, of Saturday last, states that the body of Mr. MACALLESTER, Writer of the Signet at Edinburgh, was found shortly after that of Mrs. SUTHERLAND, who, on that day, was to be interred in . the same vault with her husband. It may be important to the commercial world to know, that all persons going to Mexico must be furnished with passports by Mr. Rocafuerte, the Mexican Charge d'Affaires in London. We are sorry . to state that two more extensive failures in. Manchester have been declared during the present week.—(Stocicport Advertiser.) It has beet . ) stated in various quarters, that the failure of Mr. Williams would be severely felt in Manchester and Liverpool. We are happy to say, however, that this is by no means the case. In what quarter the principal part of Mr. Williams's engagements lie, we have not been able to learn; but when the extent of his connexion, with America, and the amount to which this town is interested in the Ameri can trade, are considered, it is truly astonishing that so little of his paper should be held by Manchester houses; and we believe the case is nearly the same at Liverpool. In this town no less than four failures have taken place within the last few days; two of them (we fear, from the extent of business which the parties have been doing for some time) to very consider able amounts.—( Manchester Guardian.) DEATH OF MR. FAWKES.-Walter Fawkes, Esq., of Fernley Hall, Yorkshire, died yesterday, at his house in Upper Harley-street. He had been twice High Sheriff of that county, and for a short time represented it ip Parliament. He was a descendant of the celebrated conspirator of that name, and prided bimself not a little on his pedigree. —(Morning Paper of Thursday.)—Truly the Editor of this Morning l'aper is remarkable for his knowledge of the subject on which he speaks. So far was Mr. Fawkes from being " a descendant of the celebrated conspirator of that name," that his family name was not Fawkes, but Ilawkesworth. One of his ances tors took the name of Fawkes along with the Farnley estate, which was left him on that condition, by a Mr. Fawkes, dis tantly related to him by marriage. It is no t unworthy f re mark, that Mr. Fawkes's fwo brothers and himself have all died in less than sixmonths. Mr. Fawkes was an accomplished scholar and an ardent friend of liberty, as his writings and his public conduct, on many occasions, sufficiently testify. He has left a very numerous family.—(Manchester Guardian.) HEREFORD, OCT. 29. — We are happy to be enabled to contradict a report which was generally circulated yesterday, in this city, of the death of Archdeacon LILLY.— That worthy and respected Dignitary still-lives, although, we are concerned to say, in a state of great danger. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.-This morning, at 11 o'clock, as a keeper at Exeter 'Change Menagerie was cleaning out the place in which the great elephant was confined, the brute struck him on the chest, and killed him on the spot.

Arthur Stanhope, Esq. entertained his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland and a distinguished party to dinner yes teiday, at his house in Tilney-street. The Lord Chancellor yesterday walked for some time in St. James's Park, along Constitution-hill, &c. His Lordship was alone, and he appeared - to be in excellent health. KEAN IN THE UNITED STATES.—KeatI'S re ception at New York is not likely to be very ac ceptable to him. The New York Advertiser contains the followin! , paragraph, with reference to his, arrival in the United States : " It is confidently stated that Kean, the actor, is about to visit this country again, for the purpose, as is supposed, of making his appearance once more on the American stage. Theatres are said by those who frequent them, to be schools of mo rality.' We trust that all those of our citizens who consider them in this light, will withhold their countenance and support from the above-named personage, should be be employed in his profession in this city, as his qualifications as a teacher of morals are very questionable. A London audience hissed him from the stage ; and in Edinburgh he met with no better suc cess. We presume our countrymen will not be found less scru pulous on a point of this kind than the inhabitants of the be fore-mentioned cities." THE THEATRE. COVENT-GARDEN.--The Opera ,of Rob Roy was represented last night at this Theatre. Pre vious to the commencement of the performance, or rather the opening of the doors - , printed bills were placarded round the house, stating that Mr. WARDE was too. much indisposed to play the part of Rob Roy, and that Mr. COOPER, at a short notice, would undertake it. It was also stated that Miss HELME was too much indis posed to appear as Louisa, in the Afterpiece of No Song - no Supper, and that Miss HENRY would be the substitute. Mr. COOPER sustained his part in the Opera with firmness and spirit, and gave a vigorous portrait of the heroic Freebooter. — The rest of the characters were represented as usual, and require no additional comment. The Opera was followed by a new Ballet, entitled The Shipwreck of Polincinello, which introduced M. MAZURIER to the London boards. lie has, it seems, been famous on the Continent for his general agility and his peculiar powers as a Pos ture-master. His performance last night proved that his fame, such as it is, is well-founded. Our Readers, however, will not expect us to de grade the functions of Criticism by entering into an elaborate description of his powers. We cannot blame the Managers for retaining such a Per former. The vast magnitude of the Patent Theatres has been deeply injurious to the regular Drama, as the ordinary faculties of mankind are hardly sufficient to enable the audience to hear distinctly what passes on the Stage. The Ear• and Understanding must therefore submit to the Eye ; and as the Proprietors are at a constant ex pence, they must comply with the insatiable demand for novelty, and bring forward whatever is likely to attract. M. MAZURIER is indeed a very extraordinary Performer, and possesses such a command over all his organic powers, as cannot be believed except on actual inspection. He excited astonishment as well as applause, but he did not pass wholly without disapprobation, which evidently depressed him, and which we deem unjust and illiberal. 66 There are people of all sorts," and therefore entertainments of all sorts must be adapted to the diversified taste of a mixed multitude. Such a man as M. MAZU RIER will probably never be seen again, and we hope that he will not find a less favourable re ception in this country than among our conti nental neighbours. The lively Opera of No Song no Supper amused the audience, as it always does, and Miss HENRY acquitted herself tolerably well. Miss GOWARD'S Margaretta was again spirited and pleasing. The audience was hardly less nu merous than even at the presence of ROYALTY. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET THIRD OCTOBER, OR HOUGHTON MEETING, 1825. MONDAY, OCT. 31.

Last Thursday the East Sussex fox hounds unkennelled a fox in a furze covert belonging to Mr. Moses Filder, which im mediately bent his course towards the high cliff's of Beachy Head, and led his pursuers so close to the brink of them, that five of the hounds fell over, and were dashed to pieces on the beach below, while Reynard himself, taking advantage of the shelvings of the frightful steep, descended in perfect safety.— Four of the ill-fated hounds, it is said, were considered by the Hunt the best of the pack. THE FINE. ARTS.—A statue has just been erected in the Cathedral of St. Paul to the memory of Lord Heathfield. who, under the more celebrated name of General Elliot, annihilated the power of Spain before the fortress of Gibraltar. It is difficult to say why nearly half a century was allowed to elapse before this tribute of public respect was paid to the services of the gallant and successful defender of that " Rock," against which the armaments of one of our then most formidable rivals were dashed to pieces. It is very certain that during that period, many men of inferior military cha racter have been honoured with monumental trophies. One ad vantage, however, has attended the delay, which was not con templated by those who are answerable for the tardy execution of the design. Considerable improvement has taken place in the national school of sculpture within the last 40 years, and insured a better statue to the departed hero than the British chisel was capable of producing at a former period. The figure is of a colossal size, between coven and eight feet high. The design is simple, and full of grandeur. It represents the hero in a standing attitude, not in the energy of action, but the compo sure of a dignified repose, and reminds one of the Hercules of Glycon resting from his labours. The pedestal is enriched with an appropriate classical design in bas relief. The composition is bold and spirited. 1i `e are glad to see it is not encumbered w ith those fantasticalimages of allegory which may be likened to sculptured riddles, and which prevail so much in the monu mental works of Roubilliac and others. The work is executed by C. Rossi , 8 .A., and is of the finest Carrara marble.— ( Morning Herald.) ANECDOTES, &c. ALL SAINTS.—This month commences with the ANNIvERsAIty of the FESTIVAL, which was ori ginally held on the first of May, and was insti tuted in 607; but in the year 835, Gregory the Fourth altered it the first of November, where it has since remained. It commemorates all those saints and Martyrs in honour of whom no particular festival has been assigned. Some Strange customs are observed by rustics on A ll hallow-Eve. " Young people in the north," ac cording to Brand, " dive for apples, catching at them when stuck at one end of a hanging beam, at the other extremity of which is fixed a lighted candle, and that with their mouths only, having their hands tied behind them, with other fooleries. Nuts and apples chiefly compose the entertain ment, and from the custom of flinging the former into the fire, it has doubtless had its vulgar name of Nutcrack Night." The Saxons called this month Wintmonath, or wind month, in refe rence to the commencement of boisterous weather ; and afterwards Blotmonath, from the word Blotan, to slaughter, denoting the accustomed killing of oxen, sheep, and hogs ; for it was usual in ancient times to prepare in November sufficient salted meat for the whole of the winter months, enough pasturage not be!ng found for the cattle during that period. It is recorded, that " a larder in the year 1327, so late as in the tnenth of May, con tained the carcases of 80 salted beeves, 500 ha , c o ns, and 600 Muttons ;" anti. these are related as (c mere reliques of winter provisions." The cus ltom of salting meat for this purpose was at one time universal in this country, and throughout the Continent of Europe. Pux.—A Lady asked a Gentleman the time of the day. He said he kept no watch, and that in the morning Chanticleer was his time-piece. 44 I did not know," rejoined the Lady," till now that the fowl was so scientific a Crownologer." ANOTHER.—A widow, whose husband recently died, was said to weep bitterly for her loss. " Did you see her tears," said a wag, " for they are the only cry-terion:" THE ANCIENT LAW OF THE ISLAND OF ZEA.— The following was an ancient law of the Island of Zea, as preserved by 111enander,--" Let him who cannot lead an ho. nourablelife i not lead a dishonourable one."

Yesterday the LORD MAYOR. ELECT, attended by his chaplain, the Rev. Mr. Ihr.LoN, several of the Alder men, and City Law-Officers, was presented to the LORD CHAN CELLOR, for the purpose of receiving his Majesty's approba tion of his election as Lord Mayor for the year ensuing. His- Lordship received them at his residence, in Hamilton-place, with the most distinguished kindness and urbanity. The RECORDER, in introducing the Lord Mayor Elect, spoke nearly as follows :- 4 My Lord—l have the honour of introducing to your Lord ship William Venables, Esq., and Alderman, whom his fel low-citizens, in the exercise of one of their undoubted rights, have recently elected to the civic chair. This Gentleman, my Lord, descended from a respectable family, is now at the head of one of those departments of the trade of the City, which is connected pretty extensively with the literatute of the country —a trade which has increased of late years to an almost four fold extent. His integrity in the transactions of business, to gether with the amiableness and urbanity of his manners in private life, have so raised him in the good opinion of the in habitants of the ward wherein he resides, that they have long since placed him on the Court of Aldermen. He was subse quently elected one of the Sheriff of London and Middlesex ; and the tender and unremitting attention which he was always known to give to the unfortunate persons intrusted to his care in his Majesty's gaol of Newgate, &c.—the general courtesy of his behaviour—his conduct as a magistrate of this great City —his vigilance, especially over his own immediate ward—in short, my Lord, every part of his public life has fully justified the expectation which his private worth had excited. His fel low-citizens, therefore, my Lord, convinced that the estimable qualities which their observation had shown them to be at tached to his character, might be productive of greater good if they were exhibited on a wider scale and in a more important sphere, have lately elected him Lord Mayor. And it is now my pleasing duty, my Lord, to present him to your Lordship, for the purpose of assertaining (a point of indispensable neces sity) how far this election on the part of the citizens of London, of their Chief Magistrate, may hare received the approbation of his Majesty our most gracious and beloved Sovereign." To this address the Loan CHANCELLOR replied as follows : " Mr. Recorder—l have listened with attention and pleasure to all the observations you have now made, touching the elec. tion of a Chief Magistrate of the City of London for the year ensuing ; and I have much personal satisfaction in telling you, that I have received his Majesty's commands to express to you, Sir (here his Lordship turned himself to the Lord Mayor Elect), his Majesty's entire and cordial approbation of the choice which has placed you in the high and arduous office of Lord Mayor of London. So far as the details of your pdblic life have been known, his Majesty has every reason for con fiding in the wisdom that led to your election. Your modera tion, judgment, and ability—your loyalty to your Sovereign, and attachment to the constitution, which are so generally known and appreciated, leave no room to doubt that your future con duct, especially during the year of your Mayoralty, will be I such as to make it a fit example to the Chief Magistrates of the various corporate bodies throughout the realm—an example which has heretofore been frequently found to produce the most salutary results in times when the country was less happily circumstanced than it now is—an example for which the country has been under obligations to your Lordship's predecessors : those obligations have been increased by the con duct of your Lordship's immediate predecessor, and there is every reason to believe that the quantum of that debt will be materially augmented by your own. " It now only remains for me, Sir, to add my personal wishes that your health may be such as to enable you to go through the great duties of your office with comfort and sods faction." After taking some refreshment, the company withdrew. .
