(PnicE / e _Z e , ee ime' This statement proves 1 ------ I,treie ne cessity which there existed of lessening the ermitmt of the public expenditure, and two obvious motes of doin g so presented themselves—redu&ng the army, and diminishing the national debt. To the latter object the Cortes applied themselves zealously at d diligently,•and their measures held out a presage of the gradual extinction of this burden. According to official documents, the amount of the old and new loans,conPrising the floating debt, amounted at the • time M. Balbi wrote (1822) to 90,000,000 cruzi dees, to which 22,500,000 cruzadoes of Go vernment paper money bearing interest is to be added, making a total of 112,500,000 cruz :- does. This, though an official, M. Balbi con- • siders an exaggerated account; no allowance being made in it for certain reductions which the public debt has experienced. He accordingly re daces the sum to what he beFeves to he the actual amount of the national debt—viz., 95,000,000 ern ' zidoes. F r the redemption of this debt a tax on he importation of foreign biscuit, salted provisions, beer, and cheese, was imposed tinder the old Go vernment, but more important measures for its re -Inetion were adopted by the Congress. At the very commencement of their legislative labours, they decreed that fhe property attached to the crown belonged to the nation, and directed the in come of aP benefices in the gift of the King, and - offices of honour that might happen to be recent, to be applied to the redemption of the national debt. Shortly aferwards the Congress carried their ope rations in this path still further, and imposed a gra :luated tax, wi:h certain restrictions and exceptions, ,n) the revenues derived front ecclesiastical Ii vines and property belonging to religions corporations. 13alhi says that the produce of these various MI , - ributions, has been calculated by person: well versed in the finances of the kingdom at 2,000,000 cruz oloes, and fro in documents in his pos•ession he is inclined - to think that that statement will, on the asereee, be found to be correct. " The mast efficacious mea sure," continues M Balbi, "adopted by the Con gress for the redernpri , n of the paper-money was the foundation of the Bank of Liibt,n, on the 29th of December, 1821, for the purpose of circulation, deposits, and discount-. The pr'nciptil object of this ostablishtneot was to dun ntsli the discount on patter money, by raisi g it from the di-credit into which it had fallen, and in the end to redeem it ; and to in fuse fresh vigour in , o the trade, agriculture, and in dustry of the country, by affording facilities for the . employment of capital, and for the operations of commerce, P PM DIRECTORS of tie NATIONAL Itt, PROVINCIAL BANK of ENGLAND hereby I,lNotice that the DEED of SETTLEMENT consti- I,, ° R the Company will lie for Signature of the Proprie otti this office, between the hours of Ten and Four p t ; l : el t each day.

MANSION-HO USE. of the complainant, admitted that what he had said was true, as far as regarded the length of time he had been a member, and his having made the required payments punctually; but there was a clause in their regulations, which expressly deprived members from availing themselves of the benefit in case of sickness, where they followed occupations, or did any kind of service, which brought in more than Bs. weekly. Now, the complainant filled r, most excellent situation in his Majesty's house hold, being in the enjoyment of a salary of 200/. a year, with a rent-free residence at Cranbrook lodge, and they were prepared to prove that he was in the habit of issuing orders to those under him, and, in fact, performing the duties of his situation, whil• in the receipt of the allowance made to sick mem bers. When the complainant first declared on the society's books it was about two years and a half "co, and he was then, without hesitation, allowed 16s. weekly, which was paid to him for six months, and then, according to the rules of the society, the allowance was reduced to Bs., which he had continued to receive up to the last eight or ten weeks. During the complainant's long illness his Majesty permitted him to retain his situation, and also continued to him the full amount of his salary of 200/ a year. The society was perfectly cognizant of this fact, but it was always believed from the representation of the complainant and his representative, who attended on club nights, that it was only an act of benevo lence on the part of his Majesty to allow the com plainant to remain in his situation, and that, in fact, his salary was to be considered in the light of a aratuity. With some difficulty the society procured evidence that the complainant was still discharging the duties of his situation, by giving orders in the stable and riding about in a chaise (his Majesty having allowed him a pony for this purpose), and therefore that as he had violated that clause which had been referred to, the society was justified in expelling him. Mr. HALLS inquired if the society (which was understood to be composed exclusively of gentle. men's servants) would pay a member the sick allow ance, if he claimed it, while receiving his wages from his master ? came to his house, but they abused him most grossly, and Mary Smith, making an attack upon the win dows with her fists, broke 12s. worth of glass before she could be restrained. 4 , vant T. LAMIE MURRAY, Sec. Ilia R"e, St. Helen's place, ops h gate-st reet , Oct. I. Two gentlemen applied to the LORD MAYOR for assistance in a search after a young man, aged 15, the initials of whose name were, they said, J. E., who had left his home on Saturday night to go to the pos'-office, and who had about him at the time between 3/. and 4/. The applicants said that the boy's mother was in the greatest affliction on his account, and that the placards and advertisements had hitherto proved unavailing. Knowing that the Lord Mayor would zealously enter into the feelings of the young man's friends, they had waited upon him to beg that he would give directions to his officers on the subject. They had reason to suspect that he had been seen on the night in question in company with a girl of the town. The LORD MAYOR said that application, he thought, was made in the right quarter, and he was of opinion that as soon as the money of which the boy was possessed should be expended, he would return home upon hearing that the chief magistrate's emissaries were at his heels, Jessie was committed for a month as a disorderly prostitute, and her sister was, in addition, ordered to pay the cost of the broken windows, or to be for• Cher imprisoned. Mary Smith, on account of ht r ►hreatening language to Mr. Wil:on, had her term of imprisonment increased to three months, but she then vowed most bitterly that she would " knife the - when she came out," and the MAgistrate or dered that at the expiration of the three months to which she had already been sentenced, she must give good bail to. keep the peace for three months longer. The two wretches were then removed from the bar, cursing the Magistrate and everybody about them. Oct ,, ber 1.

Yesterday, 111Quin, astupid-looking youth of 18 years of age, was brought before Mr. HARDmcx for final examination, on a charge of having stolen six silver watches of the value of 18/. From the evidence, it appeared that on Saturday week last a box, containing s . x silver watehts, wa sent from the house of Mr. Stoddart, a watch ma nuracturer, in Red Lion -street, Clerkelwell, ►o Miller's wharf, in Lower East Smithfield, to be forwarded to Gerard, a watchmaker, in Aber deen. It was deposited with other property, to tie shipped, in the warehouse, and was missed on Si turday last. On Friday he was taken into custody in the Mile-end-road, in consequence of some sus picion being enterained by the shopman of Mr. Tilley, a pawnbroker, that he had not become ho nestly possessed of a watch he had offered to?ledge. Before he was secured he dropped a second watch in the privy, where it was subsequently found by the officer; and it was ascertained also that the pri soner had pawned four other watches with different pawnbrokers. The prisoner, in defence, said that the six watches were given to him by a man whom he had met on Tower-hill on Friday morning, and declared that he did not take them from the v.-harf, He was fully committed for trial.

The Semaphore of Marseilles gives a letter from Algiers, dated the 22d ult., containing the following episode in the late military excursion to Blida : " It will be recollected that a settler and his wife were massacred by the Arabs in the rear of the army. They had their daughter with them, a girl of about 11 years of age, but of whom, though every search was made, no traces could be found, and no doubt was entertained of her having been conveyed by the barbarians back w the mountains. She, however, has returned to Algiers, owing her safety to her own presence of mind. The following narrative of her escape is from her own recital. She was Feized by the hair of her head, and the in exorable ytagan was raised to strike her, when the brigands suddenly observed the driver of the wag gon, from which she and her parents had been taken, running to conceal himself in the brushwood. They instantly abandoned their prey for this new object of their ferocity, thinking, no doubt, they should easily find the destitute child on their return. She seized the propitious moment, and hastened to hide herself in the marsh, and from her hiding place watched the Arabs seeking the man who had escaped then►. When they were at a distance she regained sufficient courage to come out and give a last embrace to her murdered parents, and was not deterred from performing this act of filial affection, either by the dangers to which she was exposed, or by the revolting sight of the mutilated bodies of her father and mother. Alarmed, however, by some noise she again plunged into the marsh, and having wandered about for several hours, found her self near an Arab hut, and sat down exhausted. She had not been long in this position, when a child, about her own age, came out of the hut, and in spired by Providence, the orphan threw hers. if upon its neck—the Arab child answered her caresses. In a few minutes she was surrounded by Arab women, who wept over her rears of commiseration. Their maternal feelings dictated to them their duties on the occasion, and they endeavoured to conceal her, but the husbands returned, and she was disco vered. These barbarians reproved their wives for granting hospitality to a Christian; and one of them had the brutality to throw an iron bar at the head of his wife, beceuse she gave two eggs to the famished child. She, however, was preserved and remained with the tribe two days, submitting to her fate with patience and resignation. The mur derers, in fact, reflected that the exasperated French might again return to take vengeance, and that the sparing their infant prisoner would, perhaps, be a means of appeasing the wrath of their enemies. At length a Moor, while the Arabs were absent. got possession of the orphan, and having concealed her in one of the baskets slung across his mule, brought her on the 16th of September safe into Algiers. Immediately on her arrival she was taken to General Viorol, who bestowed upon her the most anxious care. Her return becoming known, she was the general object of curiosity and attention; every one wished to hear from her own mouth the narrative of her sufferings, to which we have riot added a single word. M. Sappetty, Director of the Caratine Hospital, has adopted the child, whose name is Lucino Buretto, and will be to her as a se cond father; his kind - treatment will, no doubt, soon alleviate the pains she has suffered. The officers of the garrison have opened a subscription, the product of which is to be deposited in the Savings' Bank at Pdri,, which will ..ccumulate to form a dowry for the orphan of Algiers." The Earl of Eldon, after a short visit to his brother, Lord Stowell, has left Early Court for Encombe. An anecdote illustrative of the ignorance of Corporate Magistrates, and the contempt with which they sometimes treat scientific men, is to be found in the re cords of an important borough in the south of England. A new guildhall and prison were required, and advertise ments for plans were published. Several good designs (one by a celebrated London architect) were sent in, glanced at, and laid aside. Their authors received neither remuneration nor thanks ; but, on applying for the return of their drawings, were inf irint.d that the Town Sergeant had mislaid them. The plan of a common resident builder was adopted. It was, indeed, a contrivanthi—a delicious medley of barbarities—evidently originating in an ignorant survey of the several rejected designs, so unfortunately " lost." The conclusion is the only gratifying part of this brief narrative. The builder was the first to appear in the prisoner's box of Lis own ugly guildhall, and the last to be emancipated from his own ill-contrived prison. He was found guilty of obtaining, money under false pretences, and sentenced to imprisonment so long as he should f a il t o refund the sum of which he had illegally possessed himseif ' and to pay as touch more for the p rov i s i on o f t h ose genu i ne means which he had had the impudence to counter:eit.— Monthly Magazine. THE TURKS IN THE SIXTEENTH CEN TUR V.— Quantum naitantur ab illis.—Rosbeck, Am bassador from the Emperor of Germany to the Ottoman Court, thus writes, in 1595 :—" When I compare the power of tie Turks with our own, I confess the conside ration fills me with anxiety and dismay ; and a strong conviction tia.s itself on my mind that we cannot long resist the destruction that awaits us ; they possess im mense wealth, strength unbroken, a perfect knowledge of the are of war, patience under every difficulty, union, order, frugality, and a constant state of preparation. On our side, exhausted finances and universal luxury; our national spirit broken by repeated defeats, mutinous sol diers, mercenary officers ; b eentiousness,intemperance, and a total contempt or neglect of military discipline, fill up the disteal catalogue. Is it possible to doubt how such an unequal conflict must terminate? The enem y 's forces being at present directed against Persia alone sus pends our fate; after subduing that Power, the all-con quering Mussulman will rush with undivided strength, and overwhelm not only Germany, but all Europe." -AO De' :t t' t io!' f ;, ° „ Jo h ,ire. 10 0 4 Er° ige R ipo,or in 1 .0 In° ,".„0 --vbs The applicants trusted that no horrible accident or event had taken place. The LORD MAROR—A poor man, named Ed wards, lost two children the other day, and sus pected they were kidnapped. The next morning, however, the overseers of a parish, into which the children strayed and asked for a drink of water, saw notice of their absence under the head of Man sion -house, and immediately restored them to their parents. A poor woman and her husband, who was evi dently suffering from ill health, and their eight children, were brought before the LORD MAYOR in extreme distress some days ago. The woman stated that the whole family belonged to Morden, in Kent, and that they and 41 other poor dependanrs upon parochial bounty in that place had been sent out to New York as emigrants, in consequence of the superabundant population at home. Upon their arrival at their destination they were advised to go up the canal to the town of Hertford, upon repairing to which the father of the family obtained work at the rate of 4s. per day and his diet, so that, as everything was ex'remely cheap, the family were very well off, and, compared with the humiliating dependence upon parish support when work failed at home, enjoyed a very high de gree of comfort. After, however, remaining there several months, the unfortunate father fell sick, and some of the children also showed symptoms that the climate did not agree with them. Under these cir cumstances, the family returned to New York, where some Americans, without hesitation, paid for their passage to England, upon hearing that the climate was not congenial. They were landed from the Marengo brig, of Liverpool, and were utterly destitute. The LORD MAYOR said be perceived by the pa pers that great numbers of the poor of the county of Kent were going out to America, and was glad to find that the wages for labour were so high, that employment could be easily procured there by the poor of this country, and that such marked huma nity had been displayed there towards the unfortu nate English. With respect to the large and help less family who were petitioners to him, his Lord ship gave directions that the authorities of the parish should lie written to on the subject. Mr. Haler observed that there were some hu mane persons who would consider the case of so large a family, who were willing to earn their bread by honest industry, no m..tter at what distance from their native land, a case worthy of 'heir considera tion, and intimaied that the Lord Mayor would feel much pleasure in forwaidiug to the poor people any charitable contributions which a few benevolent individuals might be disposed to transmit for their benefit. The following written application for a summons was handed over to the LORD MAYOR, with a pro per degree of dignity : " No. 1396 Joseph Sewalls hackney Coach for standin five times Fowl on the Rank and repetitly driven Rown it and Cause a grate ob•Strioc ion Several times in Cumin Rown atter Bain repetitly told for To go A way. " GEORGE BAKER, " Pattroll Cornhiii ward." BOW-STREET. Yesterday a man named Boxer, a sort of cad at a coach-stand in Piccadilly, was charged with having in his po,session a cabriolet and horse, of the value of 100 guineas, the property of Mr. Folkard, an ex tensive proprietor of hackney carriages. It appeared that during the temporary absence of the driver of the vehicle the defendant mounted the box, took up a fare, and pocketed the money which he received. Having been absent some time from the stand, he was driving back at a furious rate, when he was met by Mr. Folkard, who took him into custody. The defendant said that a waterman on the stand, who was known by the name of " the Kid," gave hum permission to use the cabriolet on his own ac count for a short time, while the driver was taking his tea. Mr. Folkard said he had done all in his power to make the trade respectable, by supplying drivers of good character, and using none but sound vehicles and safe horses. He was sorry to say, however, that his object was constantly frustrated by fellows like the defendant, who availed themsel es of every opportu nity to drive his cabriolets about town for their own profit, whenever they found them unattended or could prevail on the regular drivers to allow them to take their places. To this improper practice the furious driving of the public vehicles through the streets of the metropolis was mainly attributable; and hence might be ascribed the many accidents that took place, for it was clear that such men as the defend ant had no regard either for the safety of the public or for the interest of the proprietors of the vehicles. He had already been a considerable loser by practice, and he hoped that the Magistrate would punish the defendant, as an example to others of his class. Mr. HALLS said that he had frequently occasion to censure the practice of which Mr. Folkard com plained, and as the defendant had faded to give a sa tisfactory account as to how he became possessed of the cabriolet and horse, he should feel it his duty to commit him for re-examination. The defendant was accordingly removed in custody. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. Jesse Austin, a person filling the situation of stud groom to his Majesty's buck-hounds, yesterday sum moned the stewards of a benefit society, termed the Chesterfield Society, held at a public-house in Shepherd's-market, for having expelled him without just cause. The complainant, who appeared to be labouring under an attack of paralysis, which had apparently deprived him of the free use of his lower limbs, and also of one of his hands, but NVIIO otherwise ap peared to be in good health, and in the full exercise of his mental faculties, stated that he had been a member of the society for upwards of twenty-seven years, during which period he had regularly com plied ith all the rules and regulations of the club, and had also punctually kept up his payments. About two years and a half ago he was attacked with paralysis, and he then declared on the books. He continued to rece i ve t h e s i c k allowance from that period until within the last two months, when, without receiving any notice, his allowance was stopped, and in a short time afterwards his name was scratched off the books. One of the stewards, in answer to the statement The Secretary said the society would certainly consider such an applicant entitled to the usual al lowance, but the case of Austin was placed by the society on a different ground. He was not excluded because he was enjoying a large salary, and free re sidence, and medical attendance, through the bounty of his Majesty, but because he was now perform ing the same duties as when in health. Proof having been given that the complainant was in the habit of giving orders which the stable helpers obeyed, the magistrates gave it as their opinion that the complainant had rendered himself liable to be excluded, but, as his exclusion had been effected in a manner not agreeable to the printed regulations, the best plan would be for the society to re-admit him, and to proceed according to the proper form. QUEEN-SQUARE. Eliza Berry: of No. 3, Henry-street, Waterloo- road, one of those unfortunate females who frequent the Surrey-side of the water, was brought up in custody and placed at the bar, before Messrs. GREGORIE and WHITE, yesterday, charged with violently assaulting and biting off the right ear of Caroline Siutch, of No. 5, St. Andrew's-terrace, another of the same unfortunate class. The complainant appeared to be in most dreadful agony, and her ear was taken as completely off as if it had been done with the stroke of a sabre. She stated that about 11 o'clock on the previous evening she was in the Waterloo•road, when the defendant came up to her, and, without the slightest provoca don,struck her ; a scuffle ensued, and she way thrown down, when the defendant seized her by the ear with her teeth, and bit it off. The pain she suf fered was dreadful, and she was covered with blood : a police constable came up, who took her to the station-house. Clara Jackson, another unfortunate girl, con firmed this statement, In answer to a question, the complainant said that she believed the defendant had swallowed her ear, for it could not be found about the road. (The complainant here showed the side of her face; the ear was completely off, and presented a most shock ing appearance.) The defendant, in reply, said that the complain ant was the first aggressor, and struck her twice be fore she ever returned a blow; she might perhaps have given her a b!te. The Magistrates consulted together for some time, when Mr. GREGORIE said, all that he could do was to commit the defendant for one month as a disor derly prostitute. WORSHIP. STREET. Yesterday, Maria Jones, a smart young woman, was placed at the bar before Mr. TWYFOIM upon a char ge of deserting her illegitimate child in the pa rish of Hackney. A rather pretty country girl was charg e d with assisting her in a-saulting Mr. Dus sett, one of the parish officers. It appeared that Maria Jones had given birth to the child in the workhouse of Hackney, and she swore that the father was a person named Smith, who, however, was nowhere to be found, and for a considerable period she continued in the receipt of a weekly allowsoce of 3s. 6d. from the parish to keep the child, It was eventually discovered, how ever, that a baker, whose name was riot now men tioned, hail been paying her Gs. a-week during her confinement at the workhouse, and for some time afterward ,, , but had since discontinued his supplies of motley to the prisoner, who then went to the parish officers, and informed them that she knew no such person as Smith, which was a fictitious name, to which she had been induced to swear; but the baker, she said, was, in reality, the father of her child, and she was then riesirr;us of swearing it to him. That, of course, could not he allowed, and upon the refusal of the parish officers to take the child into the workhouse some time since, she left it exposed in the street arid ran away. It appeared that she had since been two Hertfordshire, arid had returned with her younger sister, who had also come to seek her for tune about London. They went to the workhouse yesterday morning to see the child, arid Mr. Dussett telling Maria that she should be detained, they flew upon him like tigresses, scratched his face, tore the buttons off his waistcoat, and Maria threatened to stab him with an ivory-handled dessert knife, which she took from her pocket for the purpose. Maria was at first sentenced to be imprisoned one month for deserting her child, but after the state ment of her attack upon Mr. Dussett with the knife, she was ordered to find bail on both charges. Mr. BROUGHTON observed that the baker would probably bait her. Maria Joces said that very likely he would, and he would contrive to have another child, fur that would be the certain consequence if she went to the baker again. She was locked up, but, in consequence of some arrangement amongst the parish officers, was after wards discharged, and left the office with her sister, after having seen her child, which had been brought to the office, and was taken back to the workhouse. Two sisters, named Mary and Jessie Smith, most depraved creatures, who have been frequently in custody, were charged with being drunk and disor derly, and breaking the windows of Mr. Wilson, a licensed victualler at Stoke Newington. It appeared that Mr. Wilson had the evening before very pro,. perly refused to supply them with drink, of which t hey had already had a sufficient supply before they PORTUGUESE FINANCE. The hope which the success of the liberal party in Portugal begins to create of the speedy pacifica tion of that country, and the consequent develop ment of its internal resources, cannot but render an inquiry into the state and extent of its capabilities, as a commercial and political Power, peculiarly in teresting at the present moment. A true know ledge of the strength and importance of a nation is not to be obtained by merely surveying it. geogra phical position on the map, or measuring its magni tude in square miles; it can only be learned by a careful examination of the condition of the popula tion—the state of agriculture and manufactures— the extent of the home and foreign trade—the amount and nature of the taxation—and the ability of the people to supply the exigencies of the state. Without entering into a minute inve-tigation of this kind, obviously too extensive for the columns of a newspaper, it may not be entirely useless to furnish a few derails, derived from authentic documents, exhibiting a general view of the financial and commercial means of Portugal. The elaborate statistical work of M. Adrian Balbi affords ample materials for this task, and we shall begin by evracting from it an account of the Portu guese income and expenditure for the year 1822, the latest financial statement contained in the book. Undoubtedly, since that period Portugal has expe rienced a great change. It has been afflicted by the severest scourge which can befall a country—civil discord, and the burdens of the people have been arbitrarily increased, to maintain an odious and iniquitous warfare, embarrassing commerce, and impoverishing the nation. For the last six years the Usurper has occupied the throne of Portugal, and six years of confusion, confiscation, and misrule cannot have failed to produce deep and lasting mis chief, only to be eradicated by a firm and prudent administration. The financial statement for 1822, therefore, though not very flattering, must be much more favourable than any which the present cir cumstances of Portugal can be expected to produce; nevertheless, it may throw some light on what that country is still capable of under a strong and se!tled Government, carrying strict economy and retrench ment into every department of state, and conducting the affairs of the country on principles of sound and enlightened policy. In the pe.r just mentioned in the total income of Portugal, independent of the revenues of the ultra marine pos-essions, amounted to 7,232,000,000 reis, showing a decrease on the average yearly in come of five years, ending in 1819, of '2,526,910,000 reis. The produce of the Alfandegas, or customs and excise, is the largest sum paid into the Treasury under one head. The income derived from this some(' amounted in the year we have taken to 2,700,000,000 reis; being a decrease on the average amount collected during the five years before-named of no less than 963,740,000 reis. The impost on tobacco produces the next largest sum; it yielded a revenue of 1,417,000,000 reis, being a slight in crease on the average amount of the five years. The same is also the case with respect to the decima, sort of land tax. In 1822 it amounted to 800,000,000 reis; the average during the ft,e years amounted only to 774,800,000 reis. An item of income ap pears in this account under the title of Bulk da Cruzada (Bull of the Crusade), amounring to 42,000,000 reis. Li Bulla der Cruz,da is renewed by the Pope every three years, in consideration of a certain sum of money paid to him by the Government. It was first introduced into Portugal by Philip 11., and may be divided into three classes, according to its of and value. The bull for the living is worth 100 leis; the hull for the dead 50 reis, and the value of the bulla do composicao (composition bull) varies from 40 to 500 reis. This pious expedient for raising tite wind f a ils, however, to be as profitable to the state as the less gndly practice of card. playing ; far the tax on cards produces a revenue of 60,000,000 reis. The expenditure in 1822 exceeded the income: the heaviest charge being that incurred for the support of the army, which swallowed up more than half of die revenue. The whole expenditure amounted to 8,839,000,000 reis, leaving a deficit, in the event of no remittances being received from the ultramarine possessions, of 1,607,000,000 reis. The charge for the army amounted 4,379,200,000 reis—for the navy, to 1,182,000,000 reis ; the civil list * 517,400,000 reis, to which is to be added a sum of 38,000,000 reis received by the Queen from another source. The salaries, pensions, and other charges amounted to 2,442,400,000 reis; receipts for the patriarchate to 220,000,000 reis; and receipts for et: to meansle 3t l en=eiiaihe noeifooitt)l;irilitterris:ll:eo,:to,oooaskpf,riGniutr,hlo,lgy:,otaipOoitlitlOra:itbi.,titOoslhlo:brnierisfijevdtrieogissrn.tetleuttte,nio):ierasixi and itti ildritepthpilalareote e normou s epl s i,om t r r iti i tkti limited s s remarkabl e that the deficiency, instead of diminish ing, has increased a fourth since the year 1819, after seven years of peace, and with a navy the skeleton of which can alone be said to exist. It is also to be observed, that unless the Minister pos sessed the means of calculating the annual produc tion of the ultramarine possessions, no accurate idea of the state of the Portuguese finances could be " The B<rik was hound to lend the Gosernment in the first year of its operations 2,000,000,000 'Tie, in bank bills, bear ng an interest of 4 per cent., witch were to be paid into the Treasury in 20 sums of 100,000,000 eaei. The 'Treasury, on their pant, undertook to redeem an amount of paper money equal in value to the sums they received from the Bank. " Ferreira I3orges, an able member of the Cortes, and the chief promoter of this arrangement, calcu lated tha , , according to the mode in which the sum of 2,000,000,000 refs was to be paid, the Govern• atent would r(ceive the whole amount in about six teen months. It may, therefore, be reckoned that the paper-money will in the next year be diminished one-fourth (the discount experiencing in conse quence a gie,t reduction), and, perhaps, be entirely redeemed, since its amount is hut little in compa rison with the quantity of coin in the kingdom ; and the great resources which the introduction of a bet ter system in the distribution and collection of taxes, and in the conduct of the various branches of the administration, will place at the disposal of the Government. Already the effect of these salu tary measures begins to be felt ; and, the discount of the paper money has fallen to 16 per cent. from 20 to 25 per cent., between which rates it oscillated during the whole year preceding the creation of the Bank."—Times.

Ex-SHERIFF PARKINS.—The trial of this gen tleman (so well known in our courts of justice,) in the Superior Court, for an assault and battery, milted on Mr. Trison, a sheriff deputy, who * at tempted to arrest him, will come on on Mniniav next. Although Mr. Parkins has employed counsel to attend to the Preliminary proceedings, it is un derstood he will manage his own defence in his own peculiar way. There is a suit also against him in the Circuit Court for slander, on the calendar of the present term, brought against him by Mr. Usher, an English gentleman, for words spoken against him affecting his reputation. Mr. Parkins, in the inte aim, is still in prison.

As the subject is un dergoing an invesrigation, it will be improper to state the case more fully at present. A person very ,espectably connected is supposed to be the indivi dual who has been the author of the fraud. The whole subject will shortly be made public." SILVER MINES 0F MEXICO.—From an article in Silliman' s Journal, we learn that !hero are about five huodred towns or principal places in Mexico celebrated for the explorations of silver that SW + Wind Them. These fi,e hundred places comprehend together about three thousand mines. The %%hole number of veins and masses in the exploration is between four thousand and five thousand. The ore s generally in veins, rarely in beds and masses. The vein of Cluanaxuato is the most extensive. It s from 120 to 150 feet thick, and is exploied in dif tement places for a distance of nine ode , . The quantity of silver in the ores averages from three to tour ounces the quintal, or from 1-448th to 1-597th of the weight of ore. The annual produce of sik-er in Mexico during the last years of the 17th century was 1,134,424ib CAmP MEETING.—.The Towanda Banner Pennsylvania pap r) says:—" We are int'utmeti a ins disgraceful scene occurred at a camp meeting a few miles nom this borough on Sa.urday night last.
