An opinion is prevalent at the \Vest-end of the town that the revenue returns for the quarter were finally made up on Saturday last. This is not the fact. They were, indeed, made up to that day, but not finally, and the salaries wore paid up to the Ist of April ; but the regular quarter's returns will not he completed until to morrow evening. On Saturday last the increase upon the quarter, as compared with the corre sponding quarter of last year, was between 60 and 70,0001. The receipts for the current week, however, have not been very good, and the last day of the quarter being Good Friday, when no payments cal. be made, it is but reasonable to suppose that the returns between March the 31st and April the sth, will not prove what they would have been, but for the intervention of this holyday. We have reason to believe that the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER expects the surplus to be such as to warrant his pro • posing a remission of taxes to the extent of one million sterling ; but it does not appear that he has yet made up his mind as to the particular burdens which he will propose to alleviate. He is exceedingly anxious to reduce all the taxes which press directly upon the poor, such as the duty on soap, and the other articles of consumption among the poorer classes, and he is also desirous of reducing the taxes on knowledge ; but he is said to hesitate on both points, in consequence of the very general demand for a reduction of the assessed taxes by the middle classes, and for a repeal of the malt duty by the agriculturists. Ministers seem to expect that the House of Commons will not press the reduction of the taxes on knowledge, as the intelligent Radical party, who urge this reduction most strongly, have not sufficient in fluence to carry the point, without the direct support of Government, which it seems they do not intend to give. In the course of a few days the CHANCEL LOR of the EXCHEQUER will be prepared with his financial expose, and in the meantim e we caution the public against placing confidence in any statement which may be made as to his intentions, since it does not appear that he has yet made up his own mind. That a relief, to the extent of about a million, will be granted, we firmly believe ; but how the CHANCELLOR will apportion it we do not pretend to know. The amount of the window tax alone exceeds that sum, consequently, if it were true that he had resolved on repealing it, no relief could be ex pected on any other item of taxation. Were the demand for a reduction of the window and house tax not so general, his Lordship would probably reduce the newspaper tax, and some of the indi rect taxes which press upon the industrious poor ; but if the remission of taxation is not to exceed one million, and any relief worthy of the name is to be given as regards the assessed taxes, there will be very little for the immediate assistance of the poor, whether as regards the body or the mind. The LORD CHANCELLOR'S plans of judicial reform are now for the most part fairly under weigh, and if he succeed in bringing them all into port, the country, if it had no other cause to congratulate itself upon his elevation to the Woolsack, will long have to be thankful for his exertions. The different parts of the monstrous system, formed of the accumulated abuses of ages, are falling one after another under his strokes. Last night he brought in his promised Bill for the amendment of the mode of con ducting the proceedings in the Court of Chancery. His Lordship had before gone into the principal details of the Bill, and now only added that the appointment of the Masters in Chancery is in future to rest with the Crown. This will certainly give greater dignity to the office, and afford the check on improper appointments described by the CHAN CELLOR. We are not surprised at such an act of self-imposed restraint, coming from the quarter it does, and believe that it was done from the most conscientious sense of right ; but we will venture to say, that the mare's-nest hunters, who discovered nothing but a desire for patronage in the establishment of the Bankruptcy Court, will, if compelled to notice this Chancery Reform Bill at all, find in it anything but a desire in Lord BROUGHAM to establish his own reputa tion as a statesman, anxious for the welfare of the people. The proceedings in the House of Commons were rendered remarkable by the almost perfect equality of numbers which appeared for and against Mr. WILSON PATTEN'S motion for further inquiry before legislating upon the sub ject of the labour of children in factories. It appears to be pretty generally acknowledged that the evidence given before the Select Committee of last Session is full of gross exaggerations, and that many of the most striking cases illustrative of the injurious effects of the present system are absolute fabrications got up by the pseudo-hu manity of Mr. SADLER. The paltry trickery of the Duke of NEWCASTLE'S nominee, the defender of the doctrine, " that every man may do what he likes with his own," the opponent of every measure that would really relieve the people of their burdens, has only been working in his vocation ; but that is not now the question. No doubt it is fair that the master manufacturers, who have been so libelled as a body, should have an opportunity of defending their characters, but no evidence which can be be brought together by the Commission which Mr. PATTEN has obtained will really go to the root of the evil. Allowing for all possible ex aggeration in the evidence given before the Committee last year, there cannot be a doubt that in many of our factories children of a tender age are worked beyond their strength, nay to an extent destructive of life. The only question is, What is the true remedy for the evil ? To find that out, we must look, not merely at the evil itself, but at its cause ; for it is clear, that unless that be removed, we do nothing. The cause of the evil is not the masters overworking the children, and the chil dren, with their parents, allowing them to do it. That is the evil itself. Neither adults nor children voluntarily overwork themselves, so that to pass a law which shall simply say " You shall not overwork yourselves," is a gratuitous',absurdity. You might as well pass a law forbidding men to feel pinched by cold. The question is, why do men violate the law of nature implanted in their bosoms, and usually obeyed better than any Act of Parliament, by suffering their children to work beyond their strength ? Is it not that the stronger law of nature, commanding them to feed their children, overcomes the weaker law which induces man not to work beyond his powers? If this be so ; if it be the pressure of want that makes men devote their offspring to excessive labour, surely the remedy is to give food, or the means of getting it, instead of saying " You shall only work half the time you now do." We ask any rational man whether this be not a true statement of the case? We ask every parent whether anything but the absolute necessity of procuring food would induce him to suffer his child to overwork itself? Well, then, those who oppose Lord AsirtEv's Bill do so not because they are devoid of anxiety to relieve the sufferings of innocent infants, ex posed to an amount of labour at which humanity shudders, not because their hearts are not wrung with anguish at the thoughts of the utter destitu tion to which they must be reduced, not because their bosoms want sympathy with the feelings of their kind, but because they see that Lord ASHLEY'S Bill offers a stone instead of bread. Let Lord ASHLEY, let Mr. SADLER, be asked whether they will give the people bread —whether they will allow the suffering manufac turers of Manchester, of Oldham ; and of Leeds, to exchange a week's labour for a quarter of foreign corn, instead of compelling them to give that labour for half a qu:liter of their own corn. If they will not, what faith can be placed in them ? We know that there are a few, and but a few, of the real friends of the people siding with the Sadler party, but surely the company in which they find themselves, ought to make them doubt whether their better feelings have not been imposed upon—whether their judgment has not slumbered. W e entreat them, now that time has been pro cured for deliberation, to consider whether they are not helping the bitterest enemies of the people. The object of Mr. HUME, of Mr. WARBURTON, and of the other gentlemen whose names we are confident will be found in the majority of last night, and who have proved a thousand times their devotion to the cause of the people, is to obtain the only measures from the Legislature which can relieve the distress of the manufacturers, adult as well as infant, viz., a revision of the corn laws, and a more equal distribution of the public burdens. On the other hand, the object of the Conservatives, for it is a section of the Conservative party which mainly supports Lord ASHLEY'S Bill, is, in the first place, by a side wind to shake the confidence of the people in their real friends, and, in the next, to stave off the revision of the corn laws, and reduction or equalization of taxation. In thus stating what we believe the true question for the public to decide, and exposing the motives of both the opponents and supporters of Lord ASHLEY'S Bill, we beg most distinctly to be understood as not arguing against the protection of children who have no natural protectors, or against the adoption of any mea sures that will strengthen the efforts of the law to prevent a tyrannical abuse of the powers which masters and overseers exercise over chil dren employed in factories. Those are ques tions quite distinct from limiting the hours of labour, which can only be effectually done by furnishing a plentiful and cheap supply of food. The corn monopolists may depend upon it, that neither men nor children will work fourteen hours per day, if they will give them a bellyful for working seven hours. By the French papers we learn that the Chamber of Deputies passed the Alien Bill on Monday, for one year, by a majority of 242 to 118. Rumours were afloat in Paris, which have a ministerial taint about them—especially as M. d'ARGOUT alluded to the subject in the Deputies on Saturday—that the Republicans were raising their heads again, and were engaged in concerting means of effecting and hastening ' the overthrow of the present Government. The accounts from Madrid, dated 27th ult., talk of a change in the Spanish Ministry, by which the Queen's party has been hurled from the top to the bottom of the ladder. This change from a liberal to an ultra administration was, it seems, brought about by the intrigues of the Austrian, Prussian, and Russian ambassadors, who worked on the fears of FERDINAND. Politics in Spain are like a game at see-saw ; now the Liberals are uppermost, now the Apostolicals, while the country looks on, with apparent indifference, until the game is played out, and the actors in the sport may have leisure to think of the national interests. In the East all is at present in a state of precarious uncertainty. Russia continues working, like a blind mole, in the dark, with an eye rivetted more fondly than ever on the minarets of Constantinople. Up to the 7th uit. her fleet still floated in the Bosphorus. The Messager des Chanzbres of Tuesday says, " A letter from Blaye, written by Dr. DUBOIS, announces positively that the accouche went of the Duchess of BERRY will take place between the first and the fifth of April." It should be on the . first. Another little Dieu Donng, born on All Fool's Day, would be in fine keeping with what philosopher Square would call - " the fitness of things." The Quo tidienne of the sane date states that the most perfect tranquillity continues to prevail at Smyrna. We extract the following from the Herald of this morning:— _ . _ FALMOUTH, APRIL 2. The schooner, Ann and Elizabeth, Hayes, master, arrived here this morning from Vigo, having left that place so late as Friday last. From the Douro, through the medium of another vessel, she brings a despatch, of which I extract the following, as it will no doubt be deemed of importance : " His Majesty's ship Orestes, Tuesday afternoon, M arch 26, 1833. " Please inform the Morning Herald, from me, that the French squadron, off here, consists of two line-of battle ships and one frigate, and are standing in from the southward. Captain Glascock is gene out to communi cate with them. Captain Wright died this morning. Poor Sadler is still unwell. Admiral Sartorius with the fleet continued at the Bayona islands—on the part of himself and crew, it is stated he has demanded 20,0001. from Don Pedro ; and, in the event of non-compliance by the Ist instant, has threatened to proceed with all the ships to Guernsey. Sir John M. Doyle and Captain Crosbie, whom the Admiral arrested, had been allowed to proceed again to Oporto, Sartorius retaining their swords." THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. We have no arrival this morning of ship letters ; but the news received by the estafette is of some importance. In and about Paris they have increased the military force to 40,000 men. This indicates some alarm on the part of the Go vernment. The news from Madrid is . also interesting. Bermudez has outwitted the Queen's party, and thrown them over the bridge, setting himself firm in their places. From the East, of the date of the 12th, from Constantinople, we learn that the Russian fleet was still in that neighbour hood, waiting the result of the negotiations with Ibrahim Pasha; but the information from Smyrna, of the ith ult., states, that Ibrahim Pacha has reinstated again the Turkish authorities there; but not as yet withdrawn his troops. Recent accounts from Vigo of the 29th, and from Oporto of the 26th ult., state that Sartorius demands 20,000/. of Don Pods.o and in 4,000 of noncompliance, he will bring the squadron over to Guernsey, and detain, or sell the ships, until Isis demand is complied with. Sart°_ rius has sent back his two captives sent by Pedrc to take the command from him, previously taking front them their Swords. A French squadron of two line-of-battic, ships, and a frigate; made its appearance off the Douro. Their destination is not stated, but supposed for the Mediterranean. PRICES OF STOCKS THI!

This day being the great holyday with the . Hebrews, called Passover, but very few have made their appearance as yet on 'Change, or at the Stock Exchange. Consequently, no spe culations are doing as yet, although the Funds are not quite so good as yesterday. Consols, which left off 88 to 1, opened at 87 a for tlie Account, turned sellers at the above price, and at present may be quoted 87 I buyers, In the Foreign Market the Spanish Bulls have all taken fright, and are selling their stock, which has lowered others one per cent. HALF-PAST ONE. The accounts from Falmouth of a French squadron appear ing off Oporto, are not credited ; it is supposed to be that of Sartorius. There appears to be no doubt but that we are going to send some ships to the Mediterranean. Up to the present hour, however, we have no further poli. tical news or reports. Consols continue at 87 % to 6.3 for the Account. Bank Stock has lowered 3 per Cent. In the Foreign Market Spanish Bonds are rather better than in the early part of the morning. Consols for the Account, 87 % 88. THREE O'CLOCK. A suspension bridge is about to be erected over the river hchen, near Southampton. By means of a certiorari, as now obtained, not only is a case removed from one Court to another, but the bail, under which the party is bound to appear in the first instance, becomes discharged. CAPRICE OF THE SEASONS.—The winter quarter, just ended, commenced with spring weather, the thermometer at 50 : —the spring quarter began with hard frost, the thermometer at 30. WESTMINSTER ELECTION-(THIS DAY.) This being the day fixed for electing a representative for Westminster, in consequence of Sir John Cam HA house having accepted the situation of Secretary for In land, it took place fronting the porch of St. Paul's churcl , Covent-garden. At one o'clock the High Bailiff nominated Sir John Hobhouse, and his Committee arrived on the hustings. The Hon. Baronet was most ungraciously received. Among the gentlemen who were on the hustings were Sir F. Roe, and Mr. T. Duncombe. During the reading of the precept, and the Bribery Act, the populace indulged themselves in exclamations against Sir John Hobhouse, and Mr. De Vear, the Chair man of his Committee. One man held up a cat•o'nine tails, and shouted " More blood for Ireland." Mr. DE YEAR came forward to nominate Sir J. C. Hobhouse, but his speech was inaudible except to those ❑ear him, in consequence of the groanings and hootings of the populace. He said that a change having taken place in the Government, the electors of Westminster had another opportunity of expressing their sentiments. It was peculiarly gratifying to him to know that the conduct of their late representative had justified hint in again proposing him to their consideration.—(Groans, and cries of " He has turned his back on you.") This was the seventh time he had had the honour of doing so, and he now did it with additional pleasure, and with addi tional confidence.—(Cheers and groans.) When Sir J. C. Hobhouse first accepted office, the electors returned him to Parliament, knowing his determination to sup port his Majesty's present Government.—(Hisses.) His acceptance now of another office of much greater import ance, would but increase his utility, and enable him not only to give greater satisfaction to his constituents, but particularly so to the people of Ireland.—(Cheers.) He, therefore, bad great pleasure in nominating Sir J. C. Hobhouse.—(Cheers and hisses.) Mr. POUNCEY seconded the nomination, but in conse quence of the uproar he was for some time unable to proceed. He said it was the characteristic of Englishmen to give a fair hearing to all, and ;he asked no more than that.— (Cheers.) He wished to ask the electors whether there was a man among them who, in turning his eyes towards unhappy Ireland, had net felt his bosom burn with indig. nation at the injuries which had been inflicted on her, and who did not feel a commiseration for the sufferings under which she laboured.—(Cheers.) He begged to remind the electors that in proposing Sir John Hobhouse he was proposing one who commenced his political career among them—who was still actuated by the same motives— who cherished the same feelings, and who maintained the same principles, which had so often placed them in the front of freedom's friends, and enabled them to defeat freedom's enemies. —(Cheers.) The divisions in the House of Commons bad shown that those principles were gaining ground, and the great trial which was taking place was brought about chiefly by their representatives, Sir F. Burdett and Sir J. Hobhouse—(Cheers and hisses) —those representatives who had been so long the friends of freedom, and whom the Irish themselves declared to be the men who had fanned the spark of liberty to a flame.— (Cheers.) That nation would view the proceedings of this day as the harbinger of better and happier days—it would speak to them of redress of grievances, and of the est iblish ment of that principle, that Government should not be for the aggrandizement of a few, but for the happiness of an entire people.--(Cheers.) With those feelings, and knowing that there would be a protection afforded to those who were exposed to the outrages and violence of the lawless in Ireland, and that the Irish Bill wood be so conducted as to tend to the happiness of the country at large, he had great pleasure in seconding the nomination of Sir J. C. Hobhouse.—(Cheers and hisses.) The usual proclamation having been made, and no other candidate being proposed— The High Bailiff declared Sir J. C. Hobhouse to be duly elected to serve in Parliament for the City and Liberty of Westminster.—(Loud cheers, and groaning.) Sir Joni.; 110BHOUSE then came forward, and was re ceived with immense uproar, when the person in the crowd again held up the cat. Sir John said, " I will mark that man—l will know you again." At that moment he was struck upon the breast with some mud. The person who threw it was pointed out, and removed by the police. Silence was then partially restored, when S.r John said, " I hope that upon this occasion you will at least hear your representative, who has now been chosen for the seventh time the member for this great and en lightened constituency.—(Great cheering ) Gentle men, during the many years that I have endeavoured to serve you—during the struggles, and at last the tri umphant efforts which you have assisted us to make, and by which you have at last obtained that great boon, or rather right, of real Reform in the representation of the people, is it possible that I am not equally acceptable to the friends around me ? I have the consolation to know that to the great majority of the electors of Westminster my conduct has been received with satisfaction, and that upon the whole it gives me pride to find that I have given satisfaction to the electors.---(Cheers.) It gives peculiar satisfaction, not only to me but to the Govern ment of which I form a part, that the first deeds of that Government should be brought to the test, and should be approved of by as great and enlightened a ho ly of the people as any in England.—(Partial uproar.) Shaking a fist is no argument ; it is a cowardly and disgraceful mode of showing opposition. If the person who did so will come up here and make any objections to me or ask ®e any questions, I shall be happy to answer him. If the elector would have the kindness to tell me in what way I have offended him, I will have great pleasure in trying to remove from his mind any opposition against me that inhabits there.—(A person in the crowd here pushed forward and attempted to speak to Sir John, but the noise prevented us hearing any thing he said.) You are an Irishman, I think —(the person assented)—well then, give me three months, and if you and your countrymen do not change your note, I shall be most grievously mistaken. In undertaking the great office to which I am about to go, I pledge myself that I will endeavour to do my duty honestly and conscien tiously. I will endeavour to convince you and all other Irishmen, that your prejudices against me are groundless and ill-founded. I can assure you that my intentions are good. I trust that the electors will give ►ne fair play, and that I shall have fair play in Ireland, when I promise that my conduct will be honest, and tend, so far as my humble Judgment will allow me, to the salvation of that country. I assure the electors, and any Irishman that may be in the crowd, that I go to Ireland to my great ta'k, with the intention of doing nothing but for the glory, the happiness, and the prosperity, of the two countries. I will endeavour to do that which will be acceptable to all parties—l will endeavour, at least, to show that by studious attention to the interests of Eng land, I am doing all i❑ my power for the best interests of Ireland. All I ask is fair play. I can assure you that it is not with any overweening con dence in my own capacity, but it is from a confidence that the people at last will come to a good, a sound, and righteous judgment.--(Cheers.) The people of Ireland, like those of England, have no interest in disorder— (Cheers)—they cannot love anarchy for anarchy's sake— (Cries of " No, no")—they do not love despotism—(Loud cheers)—and their hand will never be their eubt ciienshe instrumentaltunetointerests tfyeairnremsd cheering.)tssyt inflict ingaabnr be Iw m ha me m ni e c n otu t hn a perl i o i dpn l momentarily nothe misled, people.—(Loud o e ef ,P gentleme n,e i — l Ireland, s ( e th atutl however a t t ha ne t h d e t wound up with those of their country, and that it is in the safeguard and prosperity of the country at large that Ireland can alone look for protection and happiness. With respect to flogging—(Cheers and hisses)—l sin sorry that any misrepresentations should exist upon that subject as regards myself.—(Cheers.) Those who know the fact are perfectly aware that if there be one man more than another,—and I appeal to facts and to the King's Ministers—(Cheers)--if there be one man more than an other who has exerted himself to put down that very im politic punishment, it is your present representative, myself.—(Loud cheers.) I appeal to those who know the facts, and it is upon those grounds that I rest my reputation. I have always endeavoured to do that which I have promised to the best of my abi lities for the interest of the poop'. !; and, as they have dune me justice upon this occasion, I trust that they will extend it also to me, when they find out the course I shall adopt in discharging the arduous duties I am now called upon to perform.—(Cheers, and cries of " Never.") I have to thank you most gratefully for the con duct you have pursued towards nie to-day. As to the slight interruptions which have occurred, they have always been attendant upon elections, and are, in fact, part of the ceremonies of the day.—(Laughter.) You have done your duty towards me, Gentlemen, and I trust that you will think I have done mine towards Tankyou.—(Cheers.hswere then voted to the Hi g h B a iliff, an d the ) meeting was dissolved. AMERICAN CRITICISNI.—An American paper, in noticing the vocal performances of Mrs. SALNION, gives the following description of her voice, which is in deed most " wonderful if true ;"—" Her voice had all the colour of the rainbow, and her great faculty was that of adapting the colour of her tone‘ to the note she had to perform ; naturally warm, her notes had a refulgent glow ; yet she could cool them down to the mild ray of a moon beam !" eWPerCerit r4..../e!_,:t.;,:=.,,__,;,,,:': , ._.,,2:,,.„;,._, EMPERIALORLIAME NT THIS DAY, TR VIISDAV.AMIL 4. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER entered the House a few minutes after 12 o'clock, at which time there were but nine Alembers present. At the period fixed by the new regulations, there were but fifteen Members in the House, and as it required twenty to make a House, an adjournment took place until five o'clock: MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.)

CELEBRATION OF THE POLISH REVO- LUTION AT PARIS. (From the Courrier Francais.) On the 25th of March the Poles assembled at Paris celebrated, in the splendid apartments of No. lii , Rue de Rivoli, their second anniversary of the Revolution in the Lithuanian and Volhynian provinces. This solemn festi val was honoured by the presence of ladies, of deputies, of general officers, and of foreigners of distinction, who could not listen without deep emotion to the recital of the atrocities, of which the remnant of the Polish nation are still the victim. The hall of the assembly was ornamented with French and Polish flags. General Lafayette, as President, opened the proceedings, and after having ex plained the rights of the provinces, as guaranteed by the treaty of Vienna, and the great assistance which they rendered to the Polish revolution, he gave a most inte resting account of the energetic manifestation of the Eng lish nation in favour of Poland. After the President of the society, several members spoke, and especially the Nuncio Malinowski, M. Szemiotte, and the Count La dislas Plater, who presented to his countrymen, from the English people, a Polish flag, and an English flag with this inscription, " Perseverance," " Hope," " Poland is not yet lost ;" and afterwards an address from the prin cipal towns in England, covered with a hundred thousand signatures, a tribute of admiration from the people of England to the sacred cause of Poland.

Those, how— ever, who have now the management of the property do not feel themselves authorized to conform to this; and one tenant, a few days since, actually had his horses seized for payment of his rent, while 2001. remained due to him from his landlord. EDUCATION IN SPAIN.—In the Madrid Gazette of the 23d of February there is an article on public education, with several statistical tables, showing the number of students attending the universities and col leges in 1831, as well as the number of children educated at the primary schools.
