PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 6.—11 k Majesty's ship Heron, 18, Commander James Burney, arrived on Sunday, from Rio de Janeiro, hnving left that port on the 28th of December last, bringing about 1,000,000 dollars, consigned to different merchants. The Heron had been at Coquimbo, and previously at Valparaiso. At Valparaiso, General Pinto had been elected President; but in consequence of the Vice-President Vicunia and he not being friends, General Pinto refused to serve, and had sailed for Coquimbo, but had not arrived when the Heron sailed. An insurrection had broken out at Concep tion ; which place having declared -itself an inde pendent state, three Generals had been appointed by Congress to head the troops and quell the tu mult, but they all refused to act, and were deprived of their commissions. There was peace between the Peruvians and Colombians. General Miller, who went from England itr his Majesty's ship :Serin• gapatam, was at Buenos Ayres. Dr. Francia, in his kingdom at Paraguay, if, as recluse as ever; like the Chinese, he holds no intercourse with any of his neighbours, nor does hi permit any one to enter his territories, nor to depart from them. Hostilities among the Buenos Ayrians had ceased. Rosas was the Governor; he is described as possessing the coarsest character, though very friendly towards the English. The former Governor, who had shot his predecessor, and hr,d gloried in the act in a procla mation, had retiree, to the Banda Oriental. The interior of the corintry was, however, so disturbed, and so full of robbers, that no intercourse had yet been opened over the mountains to Valpa raiso. The :Warspite, Rear-Admiral • Baker, Commander Wigston, acting for Captain Bur gess, and the T ribune, Acting Captain J. A. Duntze, were at Rio a e Janeiro ; as were two large sixty gun French ;frigates, each with a Rear-Admiral's flag on board, and the American Commodore in a line-of-battle ship. The Lightning, for Rio Plate, Seringapatarn, for the Pacific, and Algerine, for St. Catherine's, left Rio three days before the Heron. The Cadmus was daily expected to refit, and pro ceed to England, calling at Bahia for silver. Don Pedro and all the Royal Family were fast recovering from the injury !sustained in the upsetting of a car riage, but it was feared the young Queen Donna Maria would lase one of her eyes by the accident. The exiles from. Lisbon had not arrived at Rio when the Heron came away. On the 26th September, at 1. 40. p.m., a very heavy shock of an earthquake was experienced at Valparaiso, and on the same night two ot l aer shocks ; great damage was done in consequence —scarcely a house uninjured. Casa Blanca, a village about 30 miles from Valparaiso, was laid in ruins; and Santiago, the capital, very much damaged. The French frigate Surveillante felt the shock half way between the Main and Juan Fernandet—a distance of near 400 miles. Some old English residents conceived the first shock more severe than that of the grand earthquake in 1821. Distribution of his Majesty's ships on the West Coast :.—Forte, 44 guns, Captain Coghlan, will be the next ship from Valparaiso, with silver, for Eng land; the Alert, 18, Captain Fitzgerald, will fol low—she was at Callao, collecting specie; the Sap phire, 28, Captain Dundas, was gone to San Bias, to collect bullion for the Thetis frigate, which ship had arrived at Valparaiso, in six weeks from Rio Plate,'and would return to England after the Alert. An intercourse is in future to be kept up with our ships on the west coast of America and the Friendly Islands. The Seringapatam and the Tribune fri gates have been directed to call there; and we be lieve the Challenger frigate, from the Indian station, will visit some of the many islands in the Pacific, to give countenance and support to our sperm-whale fishing-ships. The Heron spoke, near Fayal, on the 20th ult., the schooner James Daly, from Fayal to Glasgow. She came into harbour on Wednesday, to be paid off. 1 he following is an extract of a letter we have received from the Cape of Good Hope, dated De cember 4th, 1829:—" The British men of war, now lying in Simon's Bay, are the Maidstone, Espoir, and Falcon ; the latter lately arrived from the Mau. ritius. A quarrel is said to have taken place be tween the French and the Queen of Madagascar. The former, without declaring war in the usual man ner, had opened a fire upon the castle and town Gf Tamatave, which levelled both with the ground, and killed fifty of the inhabitants. The natives of Ma dagascar were greatly exasperated -and resolved upon revenge. The French had landed 250 marines, under cover of their guns, arid were making a fort to protect themselves; which they never can do in the absence of their ships.—The English ship Numa, Giles Wade, master, has been detained here since the 13th October, for having five slaves on board; and the case came on for judgment before the Vice- Admiralty Court on the 2d instant, when the Judge declared the slaves forfeited to the King, and fined the master in penalties to-the amount of 5001., with all costs, charges, &c. The sum of 1,000/. will not clear the vessel. The Collector of the Customs, Mr. Levien, has appealed to England; he considers the condemnation of the ship as most certain. The Nunsa was from Goa, bound to Rio, and from a leak was forced to come into Simon's Bay. His Excel- , lency the Governor has just been on a twelve-weeks' tour through the colony, and has been pleased with ' the attention paid him by every class of functionaries, of the conduct of whom he has conveyed his warmest approval. The Jasseur, sloop of war, and the Tweed frigate, were at the Mauritius on Dec. 1." The Flora transport, Lieutenant Wentworth, agent, arrived on Thursday from Fernando-Po and Ascension. She left the former settlement on the Bth December, the latter the 9th of January. The Sybille, 48, Commodore Collier, and Plumper, Lieutenant Gore, were lying at Fernando Po. The Hecla, Captain Boteler, had been obliged to put to sea to get rid of the fever which had prevailed to a lamentable extent on board of her, having lost nearly all her officers, and upwards of 40 men; even the blacks in that charnel house of an island are de scribed as dying like rotten sheep. The Black Joke lugger had lost 16 of her crew—she had re cently captured a vessel with 276 slaves on board. The slave trade was still carried on with the greatest activity, and nothing but a steam-boat or two could effectively check this abominable traffic. The Clinker had lately taken two prizes with 300 slaves on board of each. The boats of the Eden, under the command of Lieutenant Mercer, had also captured a fine Brazilian schooner called the Esmenia, in the River Camaroons, but unfortu nately before the slaves, who were waiting on shore, had been embarked. The Eden was expected to leave the coast about the 10th of December for Rio de Janeiro and England. The fever at Fernando Po had abated, and the colony was comparatively healthy; the country for six miles inland had been cleared, and the most strenuous exertions were con• tinued to effect further improvement. Colonel Nichols had sailed for St. Helena and Ascension to renovate his health and strength, which was consi derably impaired. Of the forty-five marines who lately left England for Fernando Po, ten only, with Captain Morgan, were living when the Flora left. The Sybille quitted Fernando Po on the 9th, and captured the same night a vessel with 359 slaves, making a total of 5,193 slaves captured by her and her tenders. The officers of the Hecla who had died were Lieutenants Thomas Tombs and W. Wilson (b), Mr. Fletcher, Purser, and Mr. Law son, Surgeon. The Flora spoke the brig Welling ton, of Cork, 17 days out. Acting Lieutenant Mercer (who had served eight years on the coast, and is the only surviving officer of those who left England with Captain Owen in his first expedition to the coast), and three men, came home in the Flora as evidence against the crew of a piratical vessel called the Venus, captured by the Eden. The ship Triton, James Crear, Master, arrived at Cowes on Wednesday, from Batavia, which she left en the 3d of November, the Cape the 24th of De cember, St. Helena the 6th of January, and Ascen sion the 13th of January; also the English barque Integrity, A. D. Riddock, Master, from the Isle of France, left Port Louis the 23d of November; both His Majesty's frigate Dartmouth, Captain► Sir T. Fellowes, C. 8., sailed on Monday to Chathatn, to be paid off. His Majesty's ship Undaunted, Capt. A. W. J. Clifford, C. 8., returned to Plymouth from her cruise in the Western Ocean, on Thursday, having tra versed a space of some thousands of miles in pur suit of piratical vessels, but without success in capturing any. She called at St. Michael's on the 10th ult. The Nightingale brig is ordered to be commis sioned at Plymouth, for the Packet service. The Highland Lad arrived on Thursday, with Government stores for Gibraltar, Malta, and Corfu. J. Slight, Esq., lately appointed Naval Storekeeper and Agent at Gibraltar, embarked from this port in her. She sailed the same day. The Wanderer t rans po r t, Lieut. Young, arrived on Thursday, from Woolwich, with two companies of Royal Artillery (Majors Bastard's and Petty's). Captain Cruttenden's company here, having been relieved by Majer Petty's, will embark on Monday for the Mauritius, on which day she is expected to sail. The Hope, Lieut. Pritchard, arrived on Thurs day, with 22 artificers from Deptford, for this Dock-yard. She is to convey the reserve compa. nies of the 95th Regiment to Guernsey. They will embark on Monday. The Lord William Bentinck will call at Ports mouth, on her way to Ascension, to embark some Marine Artillery, destined to that settlement. The Carnatic, 74 guns, will be taken out of Dock on Monday, and the Leander, of 60 guns, will be taken into Dock on Tuesday, for the purpose of being broken up. Lieutenants Husband, Nicholas, and Stevens, eight serjeants, and 150 privates of the Plymouth division of Royal Marines, are under orders to em bark at a moment's notice, on the arrival of the Alban and Comet steamers, at that port, for Wool wich, where they are to do duty, in consequence of the civil watch in that Dock -3 ard and Deptford be ing discontinued. Captain George Rennie has taken the temporary command of his Majesty's ship Ariadne, vice Capt- Marryatt, and will convey out a Lieut.-Governor for the settlement on the River Gambia.—Hamp shire Telegraph. DEVONPORT, MARCH 6.—Yesterday thirty-four artificers arrived from Deptford in the Comet and Alban steamers, to join the establishment in this yard. They consist' of fourteen shipwrights, twelve sawyers, four caulkers, and three smiths. We hear by some small craft from Falmouth, that a frigate was seen on Wednesday standing up Chan nel, having a bust figure, which is supposed to be his Majesty's ship Forte, Captain Coghlan, from South America. Mr. leffcott, the new Chief Justice for Sierra Leone, will take his passage in the Ariadne, 28, Captain G. Rennie, acting, and we understand that Col. Findlay moves in her from the Gambia, also to Sierra Leone, after being relieved by Mr. Kendall. Commander W. Burnett (1827) is said to be ap pointedto the Blanche. Mr. John Farrier, Assistant-Surgeon of his Ma jesty's ship St. Vincent, is appointed to the Hecla surveying vessel on the coast of Africa; and Mr. F. Osborne, late Assistant-Surgeon of his Majesty's packet Sheldrake, is appointed to the St. Vincent, in lieu ; Mr. M. Healy is appointed as Supernume rary Assistant-Surgeon of the St. Vincent. Orders have been received here to expedite the completion of the Racehorse, 18, building in this Dock-yard. The crews borne on the shear hulks are to be paid for their provisions according to established form, instead of having them issued in kind, as heretofore.

This regulation provides, that no promotion shall in future take place in either rank until three vacancies shall occur in that to which an officer is eligible. All officers act ing in a rank superior to their own are to be placed on a list, and be promoted in rotation as such cer tain vacancies occur. The patronage of Admirals on foreign stations is also curtailed. The only pri vilege they will in future have, is the promotion of an officer to the rank vacated. The junior vacancies are to be filled up from the Admiralty list. Sir G. Clerk, in the House of Commons, on Monday night, said the Admiralty were aware that these restric tions would act severely upon the officers in the Navy; but they saw no other course to pursue, the half-pay list certainly not having been diminished so fast as the country required and expected. A new regulation has been issued very recently from the Admiralty regarding the entry of young gentlemen into his. Majesty's Naval service. Vo lunteers of the first class are hereafter to be received into the service only by the appointment of the Lord Commissioners of the Admiralty. The Cap tains and Commanders will be allowed to enter Mates, Midshipmen, Masters, Assistants, and Volunteers of the second class, as heretofore. No young gentleman is to be re-admitted into the service until the ap proval of the Admiralty is first obtained; if abroad, the sanction of the Commander-in-Chief is sufficient, but that Officer must report the requisite particulars by the first opportunity, to the Secretary of the Admiralty. Such particulars are—the date of his original entry in the service, and the cause of his discharge. Young gentlemen now in the service, by the approbation or permission of the Admiralty, may be re-entered on a ship's being re-commissioned, without the special permission required by this re gulation in the other instance. If a Captain or Com mander should find it necessary to disrate a young gentleman, he is, if on a home station, to report it and the cause to the Admiralty ; if on a foreign sta tion, to his Commander-in-Chief, who will do so. On a ship being ordered to be paid off, the Captain or Commander is to. report to the Commander-in- Chief the names of such young gentlemen serving on board as may have passed their examination for Lieutenants, and desirous of continuing in the ser vice, and unable to procure ratings in any ship. No one is on any account to be borne as Admiralty Midshipmen, except by the Admiralty's special au thority. A return, quarterly, is to be sent from every ship, of the Mates, Midshipmen, Masters' Assistants, Admiralty and College Midshipmen, College and first and second class Volunteers, serv ing on board; and great care is to be taken that, in these returns, the discharge, entry, or any alterations in the ratings, since the date of the preceding re turn, be reported and accounted for. On no account whatever is a young gentleman to serve in any other capacity, or under any other rating, than one of the before-named. ESSEX COUNTY ELECTION. On Saturday the Freeholders of the County of Essex were put in motion, at a very early hour, in order to assemble at Chelmsford, to be present at the nomination of Candidates to fill the vacancy occa sioned by the recent death of Admiral Sir Eliab Harvey. At ten o'clock the business commenced, and at that time the crowd round the hustings was so great that it was with difficulty the candidates and their friends could make their way up to the hustings. The High Sheriff, Mr. CAPLE CURE, opened the business ; by. informing, the Freeholders for what pur pose they were assembled. Mr. TUFFNELL rose to propose Mr. Bramstoie, who, he said, %vas a gentleman of unimpeached loyalty in his public character, and of untainted in tegrity in his private life. SATILII ONGLEY seconded the nomination. Mr. BRAMSTONE next came forward, and was re ceived with cheers and hisses, but the cheers pre dominated. It was a considerable time before he could obtain a hearing. The people abdut the hust ings called out for Mr. Harvey and Mr. Wellesley. This disturbance appeared to provoke Mr. Conyers, one of the candidates, who made his debut to the Meeting, by calling aloud, " Send them to gaol ! I will be heard." Mr. D. W. Harvey, and other gentlemen on the hustings, begged the people to give every body a hearing. Mr. Bram stone then proceeded. Being conscious of the rec titude of his motives, and recollecting the support he had received from them on former occasions.— (Uproar; a voice—" Do not let the proceedings of this day be interrupted by the mountebank tricks and explanations of a puppet from Copt Hall.") Mr. TOWER begged the people to hear Mr. Bramstone ; they ought to hear both sides. After some time, Mr. BRABISTONE again obtained a hearing. He could not fail to recollect that on two former occasions the people of Essex had loudly called on him, in a way that • was most gratifying to his feelings, to aspire to that honour to which he did then aspire. He could not believe that the kindness they had then expressed for him was now extin guished. For his own part, he knew nothing that had happened which ought to lessen that kindness, and his claims on it were not diminished. His public acts and his private life were both before them, and they might attentively consider them; if he manifested any merit, the credit due to him was small. if the freeholders returned him to Parlia ment, it would be his duty to devote every hour of• his life to their service; if they gave the preference to another, it would be his duty to be content. They might find a more able Representative, but they would not find any man who would serve them with more diligence, more honesty, or more inde pendence.—(Cheers.) Mr. TOWER come forward to propose Mr. Conyers. He bestowed many eulogiums on Mr. Bramstone, as a good Magistrate and an active country gentleman, but they wanted representatives of sound public principles. Mr. Tower concluded by proposing Mr. Conyers as one of their representatives. Mr. CONYERS stepped forward, and began to square like a boxer, from the waggon, at the people. —(Great laughter and cheers.) Mr. LONG WELLESLEY rose to second the nomi nation, but it was some time before he could obtain a hearing. He was received with hisses and shouts, mingled with cheers. He said he was placed in the most painful situation a public man could be placed in. If he knew any thing of the duty of public men, it consisted principally in making a sacrifice of self; and never could any man be called upon to make a greater sacrifice than he had done in coming forward to second the nomination.—(Great uproar in the meeting, which 'continued for some time.)—Mr. Wellesley concluded by seconding the nomination of Mr. Conyers. Mr. CONYERS was received with mingled cheers and laughter. He began in a very loud voice— County of Essex, give me your support. British calves attend ! open your ears and hear, while I ad dress you in a stiff, formal, and dignified manner.— (Roars of laughter, mixed with astonishment.) — We are met here to exercise the greatest right of Englishmen—that of sending a gentleman to repre sent you in Parliament and abuse the Duke of Wellington, which cannot be done by his nephew. If you send me, gentlemen, you shall find that I am a strong hound for a fine fellow like him. My motto is—(Here some gentleman, Mr. Burgoyne, we believe, from the windows of the Shire Hall, above the hustings, called out that he wanted to ask Mr. Conyers a question; the crowd called out to Mr. Conyers to answer, and some con fusion ensued.)—After a time, Mr. Conyers, in ' continuation, said, my motto is honesty, and truth must ever triumph over expediency and humbug.— (Here the Hon. Candidate favoured us with the following admonition, " Take care you write that down, Mr. Reporter.")—The Right Hon. It. Peel ought to have made last year the speech that I make this day. I know that Right Hon. Gentleman both . as a private and a public friend.—(Bravo.) —The Right Hon. Robert Peel was shooting with me last year, and I have a wood called Orange Wood. My Right Hon. Friend shot well, as he always does, and I told my Right Hon. Friend I would call the spot where he had shot so well Orange Pee).— (Laughter.)—This year I sent him the same invita tion; but he was so busy, being afraid of the hypo critical Whigs, that he could not come to shoot. The Hon. Candidate continued in this strain for some time, and then said of Catholic Emancipation, that had he been in the House when it was proposed, he would have cut off his right arm, rather than have consented to it ; but that now it was carried, he would cut off his right arm rather than have it undone. He did not wish to say anything of a grave ; but if Mrs. Conyers were in her grave, he would have no objection to marry and bed with a Catholic lady.—(A voice, " You ought to have straight jacket on.")—Lord Petre was pledged to support his opponent, but his heart was with him (Mr. Conyers). The Hon. Candidate then alluded to dye men whom he had lately sent to prison for deer-stealing, to whom he had given a sovereign. H e was supposed to say that he had seen them at Mr.. Abdy's, which called forth a denial from that gentleman, and occasioned considerable confusion. If he were returned to Parliament (Mr. Conyers continued), he would do his duty faithfully and to the best of his abilities. As to reform, the hest part of would send would elldi be to ionestmen re m t fo o r par themselves, iiame then nt.Hes they hould like, at the same time, to see rotten boroughs done away, and large towns like Manchester represented. As to tithes, he would give them the same answer as he had given a butcher in Romford market. The butcher asked him about tithes ; and, in return he asked the butcher what he would do if any body took away a leg of mutton from his stall ? I would knock him down, said the butcher; then, replied, Mr. Conyers, if I were q parsou, and von at tempted to take my tithes, I would knock you down.---(Great laughter.) Sir H. SMITEI said a few words to the Meeting, explaining that he was opposed to his friend Mr. Bfamstone, because he disapproved of that Gent's. conduct on the Catholic Question. - He aso put a question on this subject to Mr. Conyers, on which that Gent. had previously and clearly stated his sentiments.' Mr. D. Ar. HARVEY, M.P,, came forward, and was received with great applause'. The Le ►rned Gent. addressed the people at such length that it is impossible for us to give even an outline of his speech, which was frequently cheered—frequently caused very great laughter, and was very well received from the beginning to the end. He expressed his great regret and disappointment at Mr. Wellesley having resigned, and declared that he should take no further part in the election. A show of hands was then called for, and the High Sheriff declared that the electors had decided in favor of Mr. Brimstone. Mr. Conyet4 called for a poll, and the Candidates and their friends pro ceeded immediately, it being then two o'clock, to the poll-books, and polling was instantly begun. It proceeded with some spirit till a late hour, and by the last account we have received of the poll, the numbers were:— For Mr. Brimstone...soo For Mr. Conyers...73 We understand that it is the general opinion in Essex that Mr. Bramstone will be successful, and that Mr. Conyers will not keep open the poll the whole time allowed by law. KING'S THEATRE. A new ballet, in three acts, under the title of William Tell, was produced on Saturday night at this theatre. It is an extremely amusing and clever production, and will, we suspect, meet with the same success as its splendid predecessor, Massaniello, received. The ,scenery is well executed; the dresses and decorations distinguished by their lavish splendour; and the corps de ballet expert and graceful in their dancing. It was received with decided approbation by a full house. Cenerentola was the first piece. SURREY THEATRE. Mr. MONCRIEFF brought out a new musical dram, in two acts, entitled The Beggar of Cr ipplegate, or the Humours of Bluff King Hal, at this pleasant little theatre, on Saturday sight. It is a sprightly production, occasionally coarse, though not offensively so, and full of entertaining incident. The audience received it with very flattering marks of favour—a tribute of applause that it de serves. The house was well and respectably attended. COURT CIRCULAR. The Duke of CUMBERLAND visited his MAJESTY, at his Palace at Windsor, on Saturday. The Duke of GLOUCESTER, the Duchess of KENT, and Prince LEOPOLD, honoured the King's Theatre with their presence on Saturday evening, to witness the performance of Mademoiselle BLASIS in La Cenerentola, and the first representation of the ballet Guillaume Tell. The Princess AUGUSTA visited the Duchess of KENT and the Princess VICTORIA, on Saturday, at the apart ments of the Royal Duchess in the King's Palace at Ken sington. The Princess partook of a dejeune. Prince LEOPOLD came to town on Saturday front his residence at Claremont. Mr. Secretary PEEL gave a grand dinner, on Saturday evening, at his residence in Privy Gardens, to a numerous party of Members of the House of Commons. - The Governor and Deputy Governor of the Bank of England attended, on Saturday morning, at the Treasury, and had a conference with the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CH [QUER. The Neapolitan Minister transacted business on Satur day at the Colonial Office. The Governor and Deputy Governor of the Provincial Bank of Ireland had an interview with the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER at the Treasury, on Saturday. Mr. HERRIES has been indisposed for some days past, with a cold. The Right Hon. Gentleman went out in his carriage for the first time on Saturday, and attended at the Office of the Board of Trade. Despatches were brought to the Foreign-office yesterday afternoon, by a gentleman, from Lord STUART DE ROTH. SAT, our Ambassador at'Paris. Despatches were sent off from the Colonial Office on Saturday evening, for Sir JAMES KEMPT, the Governor- General of the Canada, and also fin• New Brunswick. The LORD CHAMBERLAIN visited the Duke of WEL LINGTON yesterday. A deputation of gentlemen interested in the malt trade had a conference at the Treasury with the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER on Saturday. T lIE ARMY. (From the Limerick Chronicle of March 3. ) The 2Sth Regiment, from Buttevant, and 70th Regi ment, from Templemore, are expected in this garrison, to replace the 60th and 62d. 'The second and last division of the 28th Regiment, From Corfu, arrived at Cork on Saturday, in the Stentor transport, and marched to Buttevant. The last division of the 74th Regiment, from Bermuda, arrived at Cork on Saturday, in the Lord Wellington transport. The reserve companies of the 4th Regiment are daily expected at Cork, in the Amphitrite transport, from Devonport. Five'officers and sixty soldiers of the 13th Light Dra goons, from the Cavalry Depot at Maidstone, are ordered to embark for Madras. A detachment of the 16th Lancers is ordered to embark for Bengal. Captain Spooner succeeds Captain Houston in command of the depot troop of the 3d Light Dragoons, and Captain Creighton succeeds Captain Tomlenson in command of the depot troop of the 11th Light Dragoons, the other officers embarking early in June, with a large detachment for Bengal. The 53d Regiment was presented with a splendid new set of colours at Gibraltar, last month, by Mrs. Considine, lady of Lieutenant -Colonel Considine, the commanding officer. The ceremony was grand, and attended by all the fashion in garrison. After consecration by the officiating Chaplain, the colours were handed by the Lieutenant-Governor, General Sir John Don, to Mrs. Ccinsidine, and she presented them, with an appropriate address, to the two senior ensigns, who received the standards bending on one knee, in front of the regiment. The rumour of Mr. MANNERS SUTTON'S retirement from the Speakership of the House of Com mons has been revived. Sir JOHN BECKETT (the brother.. in-law of Lord LowrnEß), the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER, and Mr. LYTTLETON, are mentioned as midi. dates for the vacant chair.--Iforning Chronicle. REDUCTION OF RENTS.--We understand the Duke of BUCCLEUCII has spontaneously made a reducT Lion of rent to all his tenants on the estate of Dalkeith, This has not been done on one year's rent, but the reduc tion is computed for the duration of the various leases.

THE FOUR PER CENTS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. t s h i e it , N — e p t e r r e s c p e e n et t in s.ghe a prod red of been circulated ted within these few days, which has gained consider able credit, allow me, through the medium of your valuable columns, to offer a few observations thereon. It has been stated that Ministers intend t , ) give 112/. Consols Three per Cent. for every 100/. New Four per Cent.; a measure which in itself would be so iniquitous that no person upon mature reflec tion could possibly believe that it ever was intended to be carded into effect. What would be the re sult ? A reduction of about a million a year, and an increase to the national debt of about eighteen millions. Imposing a tremendous property-tax of 16 per cent. upon a portion of the community, the greater part of whom have it not in their power to offer any resistance to such a measure should it be proposed. A very large proportion of the New Four per Cents., I believe more than half, is in the names of trustees, who cannot, except at their own risk, do otherwise than accede to the measures pro posed by Government. It would press particularly hard upon those who, having had Navy Five per. Cents. placed in the names of trustees, when they shall obtain their majority som e time hence, (and who, consequently, could have had no controu. what over their estate,) will find that the reduction of the five to four per cent. imposed upon them a property-tax of 16 per cent., and by the present one an additional tax of 16 per cent., making toge ther the enormous property-tax of 32 per cent. Such a measure, therefore, I cannot for a moment suppose, has ever been contemplated. The report must have been propagated by some persons who have their own motives for so doing, regardless of the consequences that may ensue to those who give . credence to it. That the state of the country de mands relief in every way that it can be possibly . afforded, nobody disputes; that a measure might be adopted which would prove of essential service, is quite clear, but there would be a strong interest to contend against. Yet we have a man at the head of affairs who has proved that where he considers a bold measure necessary he can and will carry it ; although, perhaps, the sense of the nation may at the moment be against it ; therefore, why should we not anticipate that a measure for the immediate re lief of the existing distress will be brought forward . when the state of the country actually requires it? A property tax is, I firmly believe, the only thing that will afford immediate relief. If it were put on for the present year at 10 per cent., with the under standing that next year it would be reduced to 7} per cent., and the following year to .5 per cent., it would produce such a revenue as would enable Mi nisters to remove many taxes that press most heavily upon the middle and lower classes of society, and so give considerable and immediate relief to the com munity at large. All would feel the benefit of the abolition of such taxes as might be taken off, whereas the one that is put on would not be very materially felt ; the very low prices at present exist ing will enable a man to make 901. per annum go as far as lie could 1001. a short time since. Property, not labour, ought to pay the heavy taxes, and they should be imposed equally upon all real property. The expence of collecting the new tax would be trifling in comparison with the charge that is made for collecting the present revenue; that is an item in the expenditure wherein there might be made a considerable reduction. The only just way to re duce the interest on the debt is to establish an effi cient sinking fund: one of five millions per annum, as was originally proposed, would, if properly applied to the extinction of Three per Cents., reduce the interest on the funded debt 160,0001. annually, the effect of which, in a very few years, would be of great importance. The paltry and unjust reduction of the Four per Cents. I confess I should be sorry to see carried into effect, but I hope very shortly to hear that Ministers will propose some vigorous measures in order at once to ameliorate the distresses which the country at present groans under. I remain, Sir, Your obedient servant, Regent street, March 8, 1830. We have to announce the death of Lady AUGUSTA Da Amin,Awn, which took place early on Friday morning: Her Ladyship, it will be recollected, was married in April, 1793, at Rome, and again at St. George's, Hanover-square, in the December following, to his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussax, by whom she has left issue, Aucusrus, a son, and a daughter named AUGUSTA. To dissolve this second marriage a suit was instituted in the Prerogative Court, by which the mar riage was declared null and void in August, 1794. The family name of her Ladyship was IllunitaT, she being- the' fourth daughter of JOHN MURRAY, fourth Earl of Dun more, which she exchanged for that of Da MIRLAND, in October, 1806, by Royal licence, out of respect to her descent from that ancient famly. SIR WALTER SCOTT.--The members of the highly respectable and old-established Club House in St. Andrew's-square, having admitted our illustrious towns man among their number by acclamation, in place of the ordinary mode of ballot, resolved to add to the compliment by giving a public dinner on the occasion. This entertain. ment took place yesterday. Sixty members sat down to dinner—Lord GILLIES in the Chair.— Caledonian Merc. From a statement published in the Commer cial Journal of Amsterdam, it appears that the annual consumption of coffee in the kingdom is 2 9,107,800 lbs., of which above 17 millions are for the southern provinces. An extraordinary shoal of whales, to the number of 60 or upwards, made their appearance on the 16th ult., off Correa- Linnie Loch, and continued for some time floating on the surface of the water. The inhabitants rowed out in boats,with the intention of driving them into the Straits, when the whales became quite out rageous, leaping several yards into the air, and occasioned the surface of the sea, to a considerable extent, to appear similar to a boiling caldron. Several shots were fired a them without any apparent effect,— Glasgow Free Pers. THE NEW STREET PRONi WATERLOO BRIDGE.—The negociations respecting the ground which would be required to form this street are still going on, and we trust, for the sake of metropolitan improvements, that they will terminate in favour of the proposed alteration,' The Committee formed to assist Mr. Auxoto in the re building of his Theatre have suspended their labours until the final deci,ion of the Commissioner/sof Woods and Forests is known, and until they are able to ascertain what sum will be given by way of compensation for the ground occupied by that which has been destroyed. In the mean-. time the subject seems to woupy the serious attention, of the Government, uotwithstanding the objections whi c h may be raised in these economical times on the. subject of expence. Since the proposals have been sent in, the Duke of WELLINQTON, Mr. PEEL, and Lord LOWTHER, have separately inspected the state of the ruins and the probable onus se of the street; and we cannr.t entertain a doubt that they, in common with all wlaa desire wide and healthy streets and convenient thoroughfares, must have beeii satisfied that the proposed opening from Waterkm-bridge to the North load is a mast desirable object, it can be accomplished at any reasonable cost. We tusderstand the proposal at present under consideration extends merely to a straight and uninterrupted commuAtiration with Long_ acre, through Charles -street and Bow-street; hut that once accomplished, the remainder of the line presents no expensive difficulties, as in the ease of the present clear ance in the vicinity of at, Martin's Church, which ad mits the blewings of light and air to one of the most denscly crowded, and therefore, most unwholesome dis. trio,ts of the metropolis. lillEumArismi GOUT, COUGHS t AND CoLns.—Lifells, entirely Vegeble, discovered by th Rev.
