,11 Atenin .--7 nit LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1844. THE QUARTER'S REVENUE. The returns for the year and the quarter are in all respects satisfactory. Every branch of trade and commerce appears to be in the most prosperous state. The Customs' Duty has increased to an enormous extent; the Excise, the Stamps, and the Post-office also exhibit favourable symptoms of improvement ; and in not one department, taking circumstances into account, is there a falling off. We will give the principal returns in detail, for the satisfaction of the public. The total revenue produced by the Customs for the year amounts to 20,243,5051., showing an in crease on the year of 1,723,165/., and an increase on the quarter of 473,3471. The Excise has not varied much, but, on the whole, is favourable, with the exception of the last quarter. The total amount for the year is 11,959,9421.; increase on the year, 173,8981.; de crease on the quarter, 5,660/. There is an increase in the Stamps both for the year and the quarter; the increase on the former being 69,1291., and on the latter 15,3221. The total revenue for the year is 6,533,3851. The Taxes produce 4,204,8551., showing a decrease on the year of 2,937/., while there is an increase on the quarter of 7,339/. The total amount of the Property-tax is 5,158,4701.; increase on the year, 106,4131.; and decrease on the quarter 89,193/. This, however, is no criterion of the revenue from this impost, as only the money received has been included in the returns, and large sums, probably, are yet due, leaving little doubt that this tax, which Sir ROBERT PEEL modestly calculated at about three millions and a half sterling, produces nearly the double. The public will rejoice to learn that in one department, which in terests them all—the Post-office—there is a de cided improvement. The total amount for the year is 672,0001. The increase on the year is 82,000/., and on the quarter not less than 40,000/., a proof both of the increase of trade, and the :successful working of the new- system. The Miscellaneous exhibits a very small return, only 696,3571., showing a decrease of 948,0041. on the year; but this falling off is easily accounted for. During the previous year large remittances were made from China as ransom, or compensation money, while this year there has been very little, with the exception of the last quarter, ani during that period there is an increase of 203,217/. The total income for the year, including imprest and other moneys, with repayments in advance, amounts to 50,741,622/. - The increase on the year is 2,390,2641., the' decrease 994,9151.; the increase on the quart4r 739,225/., decrease 218,281/.; leaving a total increase on the year of 1,395,349/., and on the quarter an increase of 520,944/. This is a gratifying proof of the energy, industry, perseverance, and indomitable spirit of the British nation. Though grievously oppressed with taxes, though within the last two years trade has been at the lowest ebb, and the Zollverein of Germany, and the restrictions of other countries, threatened to injure our commerce, the people never despaired; they waited their time, the manufacturers kept their mills THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVPNING OCTORER ll, 1844 :laced a li-t of persons seriously injured:—John Brown and their workmen ready for every emergency, and and .J p': purl ell (~..hiee dvad), John - Young, William when the proper season came, they went to work in Urreti seey,ohn , WilWailiml good earnest.

Miming ... 56 minutes after 0 I Evening ... 16 minutes after 1, It is not once in a dozen years that the Court Cir cular furnishes us with a hint worthy of a moment's consideration, but this morning the case is different , for the following suggestive paragraph appea rs in it, on which we propose to make a few remarks which though they may not be novel, will at least have the merit of being seasonable :—" The royal and august party after leaving 'Windsor Castle, went through Staines and Sunbury-common to Twickenham, to the house formerly occupied by the KING of the FRENCH, when residing in this country, and now in the occupation of the Earl of MOH NINGTON." How many stirring recollections—not a few of them of an exquisitely painful character —must have been awakened in Louis PHILIPPE'S mind, when he once again stood before the house, which many years ago he had occupied during his exile from his native country ! Did joy or melan choly predominate in his breast, when looking, first on the well-remembered dwelling, and then on the illus trious group by whom he was accompanied, the contrast between his past and present condition neces sarily forced itself on his attention while busy thought travelled back through a long vista of years to the days of his comparative obscurity—days which for weeks and months together rose and set in gloom, and pro duced scarcely a single auspicious event on which to hang a hope for the future ? In all superior minds there is always a touch of pensiveness bordering on melancholy, and we can readily believe that the first sight of his old house raised in the French KING'S breast emotions rather of sadness than joy, notwith standing the triumphant position which he now occupies as guardian of the peace of Europe. He could not but have thought, with a sigh, of the friends who once sate with the humble exile beneath that roof—of the brothers who shared his confidence, and were to him as a second self—and, more espe cially, of the clever, sanguine DuMounlEz, under , whose auspices he made his first essay in arms,, awl who—had he succeeded in his schemes—would have raised him to the throne of France. - All'these have long since passed away ; the winds or many winters have sighed over their, vavps ; and Louis PHILLIPE now finds. lAjmselt the chief actor in a totally new scene,-•-conspictrovar in an age which in some respects Ithi-diMet antipodes to that of his youth and man- Ond+tsiirrounded by new men, and influencing a ew generation whose political sympathies are little in accordance with those of its predecessor. It is a striking proof of this great Monarch's worldly sagacity that he has been able, at his advanced time of life, to accommodate himself with such flexibility to the altered character of the age. LAFAYETTE, his distinguished contemporary, carried with him to the grave the republican principles which he maintained in youth ; NAPOLEON, even after his crushing defeat at Waterloo, still held in the Cham bers the language of the despotic EsirEnoa ; CHARLES the TENTH could risk a throne, but could not, not withstanding the pressing necessity ofthe case, abate one jot of his prerogative ; CARROT, LAFITTE, and BEN JAMIN CONSTANT, all died as they had lived, steady, inflexible advocates of the revolutionary principle of democracy ; but Lours PHILIPPE—who would almost seem to be incapable of deep-rooted impressions—can change with the change of times ; uphold Republi canism in youth, and in age, task the utmost powers :of his intellect to crush it throughout France. Truly, he is an extraordinary man, and—notorious as has been his political tergiversation—we can scarcely find it in our hearts to condemn it, when we remember the benefits it has conferred, and still continues to confer, on Europe. Had Louis PHILIPPE, like LAFAYETTE, remained true to the Republican convictions of his youth, a war of Propagandism would have commenced in 1830, which would most probably have continued unabated to the present day. Mr. SMYTHE'S late eloquent speech at the Man chester Athenaeum seems to have proved too strong for the delicate digestion of the Morning Post, which made some rather severe strictures upon it on Wed nesday, and renewed the subject yesterday. The young and ardent member for Canterbury having stated that there " is an old and natural alliance be- Nvecn literature and commerce," our perverse Con- temporary, whom no one can please ; who, like VOL. TAME'S Prococurante, looks on everything with an eye of distrust and hopelessness ; and who appears to have reduced to system the Nil-Adrnirari principle of floaacn—our wayward Contemporary, we say, im mediately bristles up, and thus replies to Mt. SMYTHE'S statement :—" We deny that there exists any old and natural alliance between literature and commerce. When such an alliance has existed, the terms of that alliance have always been the reverse of honourable to literature. The spirit of commerce never yet conceded to the spirit of genuine philosophy equality of social influence with itself ; far less has the spirit of commerce ever bowed to the supremacy of the highest forms of intellect. The alliance be tween commerce and literature has been, in short, the sort of alliance which connects the master with the slave—the luxurious lord with the parasite." This is an undoubted truth, when applied to the connexion between aristocracy and literature, but when applied to that between commerce and literature, it is as un doubted a falsehood. The aristocratic spirit has never yet conceded to the literary spirit " equality of social influence with itself," but has uniformly kept it at an awful distance—flattering it, it is true, at times, and encouraging it, and making condescending speeches to it, and admitting it to the honour of its presence; hut always insisting on its confessing its marked inferiority, and playing the part of an ob sequious dependent. Look at the Dedications of DaYDEN, YOUNG, and others of our great authors, and see there the sort of conduct that was expected to be pursued by genius towards its lordly patrons ! Look at the compliments of POPE—who well knew the temper of the men he addressed, and won their favourable suffrages in consequence—and see in what terms a poet was expected to address his aristocratic superiors ! On the other hand, mark the fate of JOHNSON, who was left to pine in solitude and neglect for the best years of his life, with scarce sufficient means to provide for the day's meal, merely because he refused, in the manly independence of his nature, to flatter the self-love of the great, and approach them on bended knees, as though he were the slave, and they the master ! " I was never a favourite with Lords," says the philosopher of Bolt-Court, in Boa- WELL ' S inimitable life of him—" because they do not like to hear the truth, and I would not tell, them falsehoods." Again, in later times, remember the fate of BURNS, who was first petted, and flattered, and lionized by the Scottish aristocracy, and then coolly left to starve, and fret his very soul away in that ex quisite agony which despised and neglected genius only can feel, merely because he was conscious of his own high calling, asserted the dignity of manhood, and refused to bow in abject adoration before the shrine of rank ! The Post's observation, then, we contend, is true, as regards the alliance between aristocracy and literature, but false as respects that between commerce and literature. Who were the gene rous, the steady, the unaffected patrons of genius during the palmy days of Venice, but the enlightened merchant-princes of that magnificent trading city ? Whe not only admitted the social equality of TITIAN, but even his social superiority, but these same worldly, enterprising spirits ? Who fostered the arts and sciences, and mind, in its most imaginative form, when the greater portion of Europe was comparatively unci vilised, but the leading commercial inhabitants of Genoa, Florence, and the other Italian Republics ? Who drew forth from obscurity and indigence, and were the most assiduous, unassuming patrons of the intellectual spirits of their country, but the merchant. princes of the house of MEDia ? It was not Italian aristocracy, but Italian commerce that protected and rewarded, and acknowledged the social equality of genius. The former was too much engrossed with its own ambitious views—too much addicted to war and bloodshed—to the acquisition of this town or city, and the destruction of the municipal privileges of that— to be able, even supposing it had the inclination, to pay attention to the peaceful claims of intellect. The benefits conferred by aristocracy on literature are soon summed up. The former has always received from the latter much more than it has bestowed, and has ever been too proud to acknowledge the full extent of its obligations. But who shall number up the benefits that commerce in all ages of the world has been the means of conferring on intellect ? Had it not been for the gradual extension of commercial enterprise among mankind, the world would still have remained in comparative darkness ; and literature, in stead of being what it now is, the want of all, would have been a superfluous luxury appreciated only by the few. Mr. SMYTUE, therefore, never uttered a more sterling truth than when he maintained that there was a "natural alliance between commerce and literature." In this great trading community of ours —for what, after all, is England but a nation of shop keepers ? we say this to her credit, though NAPOLEON used the term in an insulting sense—the commercial spirit must ever he the greatest benefactor to the lite rary spirit. Each acts and reacts advantageously on the other. Trade furnishes the means by which in tellect lives and thrives ; and intellect, in turn, brings its softening, elevating influences to bear on the stern and practical nature of trade. Is it the aristo cracy that are everywhere encouraging the spread of Mechanics' Institutes, book-clubs, and reading-rooms; that founded the Durham and London Universities; and originated the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge ? Far otherwise. These are Institutions with which they have but an imperfect sympathy; it is the middle classes—and chiefly those who are en gaged in the pursuits of commerce—that have origi nated them, and that are still earnestly engaged in furthering the sacred cause of education among the masses, while the aristocracy are content to look on with a feeble, supercilious, and condescending ex pression of approval. It is commerce that commences the great work of civilisation among nations by bringing them in closer and more harmonious com munion with each other, and literature that com pletes the august task. The one acts as the pioneer to the• other. Commerce prepares the rugged soil to receive the seeds which literature sows. Commerce without literature is like SAMPSON shorn of his hair —a giant, it is true r but one from whom the true, manly, invigorating spirit has departed ; but the two combined, triumphantly bear down all obstacles op posed to their progress by ignorance, prejudice, or felfaterest, and tend to uplift Humanity to the highest point of elevation! We have published in another part of the paper an address from General EsrARTEao to the Spanish na tion. It is distinguished by his usual good sense, patriotism, and moderation, and, we may say, every statement he makes is founded on truth. No man ever did more for Spain in the same time than the Duke of VITTORIA ; he put down the Carlists, he es tablished a free constitution, paved the way for the emigration of Queen CHRISTINA, the enemy of liberal institutions, and in every respect adhered to the charter, which he hoped would restore peace and pros perity to Spain. All his constitutional acts, however, were treated with neglect ; an adventurer, the agent of CHRISTINA, intrigued with the troops, landed in Spain from a French port; CHRISTINA speedily followed, and the whole country was pl aced under martial law. It still remains in nearly the same position. The Cortes, it is true, have been summoned, but there has not been even the semblance of a free election, military despo tism and the imprisonment, expulsion, or banishment of ESPARTERO'S supporters, have been the orders of the day; and the Spaniards, as far as regards their boasted charter, are as abject and helpless as the serfs of Russia. ESPARTRRO may well lament the fate of his countrymen, he may lament that his patriotic designs were frustrated by Frenchmen and renegade Spaniards, but he has this consolation in his exile— he took no selfish advantage of his high station, he honourably performed his duty as Regent and Com mander-in-Chief, and was driven from Spain by men who preferred slavery to liberty. The Madrid Gazette of the 3d inst. contains a royal decree, appointing a number of Senators. With one exception, they belong to the Government party. In reference to reports of a division in the Cabinet, and the probable resignation of certain members, the Globo says : " Although the alarming reports circulated by male volence be destitute of foundation, they nevertheless do harm. Those rumours and calumnies, however, will cease after the opening of the Cortes. Then everybody will have an opportunity of defending himself, and con tradicting personally any statement offensive to his cha racter, and all the Ministers may then proclaim to the world that they hold themselves equally accountable for all the acts of the Cabinet." ;VIII. and Charles X. are not forgotten. history has said why ? But what is at least strange is, that through an attention which was intended to be delicate, and which fortunately was not merited, the Duke of Orleans, at present Bing of the French, figures himself amongst the men to whom those painful recollections are attached. The Queen of England could have done well to have chosen another gallery for her banquet. It was sufficient that the King of the French should have appeared there in effigy." The Siecle charges M. GUIZOT with selling himself to England, but though the Minister is mentioned by name, the imputation is meant for a higher per sonage:— " We are not animated with a feeling of hatred to wards England, but we cannot help recollecting and re senting the repeated insults of to our country. If the British Government had endeavoured to make us forget by some generous proceeding the odious breach of faith of 1840, we should consider it our duty to acknow ledge it, and congratulate ourselves upon it, for by that means the friendly understanding between the two na tions would have been re-established. Unfortunately, we have no such fact to record, and many others have occurred to excite still more our just irritation. The same feeling, we know, is not shared by the Minister (M. Guizot), who appears to have undertaken the mis sion of immolating to the merchants of London the in terests and honour of our country. He has received a favour from England ; after foolishly engaging his word in a treaty, he withdrew it, on the injunction of the Par liamentary majority. This was a serious grievance fur the English Government ; its indignation would have been vented against any other Minister, and a reparation demanded. But the Cabinet of London knew its man, and took good care not to injure British interests by in • sisting on his dismissal. The English have a right to be pleased with him and to feast him ; he has paid his debt at the expense of the national interests and of France. Why, then, should we feel flattered or grateful for the interested ovation preparing for their liegeman on the other side of the Channel ? A day will come when England will appreciate the value of French alli ance ; but that alliance, founded on mutual good rela • tions, will offer itself spontaneously, and not allow itself to be sold." The National after a brief notice equally compli mentary to the Foreign Minister changes the scene, and denounces his policy in Spain : MADRID BOURSE, 3D INST.—Three per Cents., 27f for Account; Five per Cents., 20i for Account ; Floating Debt, 66 for Account. " Nowhere has the policy of M. Guizot been so flagrantly exposed as in Spain. The Government which oppresses that country is his work—he preponde rates in its councils. He encouraged the insurrection which produced the present Government, and he re ceived the Golden Fleece as a reward. Since the return of Maria Christina, Spain has no longer a constitution. The arbitrary Government of Ordinances has replaced the prescriptions of the law. The intrigues of the palace supersede the deliberations of the Chambers. The taxes are levied without having been voted by the Chambers. The single fact is sufficient to characterise this abomin - able re-action. Orders were sent to Saragossa to dis cover the pretended authors of the murder of a General who perished during a night of alarm and of civil war. The persons accused were citizens, but they were tried by court-martial, and after an interval of eight years, some were condemned to death, and others to the genies for the term of their natural lives. . . A general cry of indignation was raised, and the clemency of the young Queen was appealed to, but her mother was near her, and the Queen declared that she would grant a pardon if the sons of the General would consent. The execution then took place amongst a horror-struck population lle liberty of the press is suspended, and property confiscated. Entire provinces are placed in a state of siege, and even in places where there exists no pretext for such a measure. There is no security for individuals against the good pleasure of the sabre. A denunciation is sufficient to authorise imprisonment, proscription, or death. It is not necessary to recal to the recollection of our readers the' seventy-two deputies imprisoned, without cause, the editors of public journals dragged from their beds to be thrown into dungeons with robbors, the massacres en masse which covered with blood the walls of Alicant and of Carthagena, and the permanent spoliations exercised in Catalonia." The adjudication of the offers for forming the line on the Orleans and Bordeaux Railway took place on Wednesday, before the Minister of Public 'Works. The biddings were as follows :—Messrs. MACKENZIE, PATTERSON, and Co., offered to take it for 28 years all but 17 days ; Baron ROTHSCHILD, for 31 years and 9 days; and M. DROUILLARD for 36 years and 1 day. Messrs. MACKENZIE and Co., being the lowest bidders, were declared the contractors. This raised the shares of the MACKENZIE Company from 60f. to 100 f. premium. The Orleans and Vierzon line was adjudged to the existing Orleans Company for a term of 40 years, the Orleans Company ceding to that headed by Messrs. LB Corcrs and Co., one-third of the shares.

(Before J. DEEDES, Esq.) Thomas Styles claimed to have his name placed on the register in respect of a house occupied by him at No. 11, Charles-street, New Kent-road. It appeared that Styles had not claimed to have his name placed on all the rates made during the electoral year, which the Learned Barrister contended was not a proper proceed ing, as the claim which he had made only entitled him to be on the then rate, and, the claim, therefore, could not be good for the present year. A person must be rated on all the rates made during the twelve months—from July to July. Wm. Hicks claimed in respect of a house. It appeared that the name of the claimant's landlord appeared on the rate, although he (the claimant) asserted that he, and not the landlord, paid the rates.—llis claim was disal low ed. Not one of the Paris papers of Wednesday an nounces the arrival of Louis PHILIPPE in England. As he reached Portsmouth at an early hour on Mon day, the intelligence might easily have been conveyed to Paris in less than forty-eight hours ; but this is only one proof among many of the little aptitude of our neighbours for the dispatch of business. Pass ports in Custom-houses and octrois obstruct the tra veller at almost every step, and time which might be profitably employed is wasted only in delaying trade and commerce. The journals, however, if they have no news on the event, have abundance of comments on what they take for granted has occurred at Windsor Castle. The Quotidienne, while annoyed at the visit, endeavours tt pluck up courage by referring to the victories of the French under the ancient house of BOURBON. "It is unfortunately not possible for us," says the CARLIST organ, " to remake our history. The name of the Duke of WELLINGTON is connected for us only with mournful reminiscences, and if it recalls any personal event to the courtiers of the Tuileries, it is perhaps the refusal to accord a com mand to the Duke of ORLEANS in 1811, and the de claration made in 1815, to the feeble party which then declared for that Prince, that the lsuke of ORLEANS would never accept the crown before the extinction of the reigning family. Marshal SOULT was well received in England, without doubt; but it is not merely because he had taken a glorious part in the wars of Germany and Italy, but because he had been unsuccessful since 1809, in his encounters with the English. Oporto, Albuera, Bayonne, Or thez, were reminiscences which British pride was de lighted to recur to, in beholding the Marshal, and the English showed the more eagerness to fete him, inas much as his military merit gave more relief to their success. Admiral DE GRASSE, after the unfortunate combat of Des Saintes, was enthusiastically received in London. He had twice beaten the English before his defeat, and it was precisely because he was brave and able that the English were so happy to have been at least once more able or more fortunate than he. SUFFREN, LA MOTTE-PIQUET, LA GALISSONIERE, would not have received in London, after their vic tory, the reception which DE GRASSE met with after his reverse. The mind of our neighbours is so con stituted. We are therefore strongly disposed to be lieve that the reception reserved for the travellers to Windsor is less a homage than a proof of the inte rested preferences of the British Government for a dependent and devoted regime. As to us, very diffe rent from those who complain at beholding the grand dignitaries of the Government and the Court of London coming to meet the cortege from France, we, on the contrary, find this proceeding very proper• When, in the ancient monarchy, the Kings of ENG LAND came to pay homage to the King of FRANCE, for the possessions which depended on the Crown, our Sovereigns sent the first Noblemen of the Court to meet them. Since, thanks to the Ministers, the parts are changed between us and England ; it is just that the starting point of the ceremonial should be so also I" BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) Jahn Parry was brought before Mr. Jardine, charged with attempting to defraud Mr. Shure, hosier, of Picca dilly, of six pairs of white kid gloves. Mr. Shure stated that the prisoner came into his shcp and ordered six pairs of gloves, and in payment he ten dered an order upon the Golden Cross hotel for the amount. Witness sent his boy with the goods to the hotel and also the order, when it was discovered that the prisoner had been to several other tradesmen and ordered goods in the same way. He was therefore given into custody, Prisoner—Why did 3ou not take the order ? Is it not shameful that I should have been locked up all night with a nasty black ruffian. But I'll have my revenge. Here lam in custody for nothing. If you call that jus tice I have done. But I mean to take out a warrant against this man. There has been a conspiracy between him and his snob of a boy. I will bring an action against him, and I will ruin him if it costs me a thousand pounds. Here am I a respectable stockbroker and a civil engineer. (Here he became very much excited and struck the boy violently). I have had my energies roused. I will write a pamphlet about this, aye, and I will have a comedy written upon it, and I will go on the b stage and play in it. I think Icm fill Jack Reeve place as well as any body, and I will give your snob of a boy ad -- good hiding, and you too. The prisoner, who stated that he lived at No. 9, Sloane-street, con tinued to vociferate the most incoherent nonsense. He was ultimately removed. He was either insane or played his part with great truthfulness. --- ACCIDENT AT THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. —This morning, about ten o'clock, a man named Charles Hunter, thirty years of age, whilst working upon some scaftblding near the Victoria Tower, fell therefrom with his right arm and side upon the teeth of a large stone saw. The poor fellow was immediately conveyed to the Westminster Hospital, where he remains in a dangerous state. THE BIRMINGHAM QUARTERLY MEETING OF THE SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE I RON -MASTERS.--BIRMINGHAM, THURSDAY.—Today the gentlemen engaged in the above trade met at the Town-hall, for the transaction of busi ness. The attendance was most numerous and respect able, and included the leading masters in this part of the country. It was very hard to obtain anything like accurate information of the state of the trade; but after many inquiries amongst those upon whom I can rely, I was enabled to arrive at the fact that the prices of the last quarter will be maintained. The masters will meet on Saturday at Dudley, when they will come to a final resolution upon the subject. I consider, however, it is now so far settled that no reduction for the present can be anticipated. I have reason to believe a good d ea l o f importance was attached to the meeting of to-day. It was feared that prices could not, however, be maintained. They have, however, been upheld, and I hope th at t h e result will be found to justify the decision. The accounts from London of the general state of the market had a good effect, and inspired confidence. There was also a satesame satisfacto ry. rAntwrpen, "Captain yeJsateerdksaoyn,maerrreivinegd tolerably brisk deman e d lnv f th o y r ahr i f r o, o urr n r , zw a e n effr d ,ec th te e d m a e g et a i i n n g st on wi t n h de nCt'.

M. THEIRS' journal thus adverts to the grand ban quet to be given in the Waterloo Gallery : " The Waterloo Gallery at Windsor, in which the grand entertainment is to be given to the King of the French, is ornamented with a number of portraits, amongst which are seen to figure the Sovereigns and the remarkable men who, in 1815, concurred in the invasion of France, and in the degradation of her influence by treaties. The first in point of consequence is the Em peror Alexander of Russia, next the Emperor of Austria, the Duke of Wellington, and Prince Talleyrand, Louis FLANDERS and HAMBURGH MAIL. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) BnussEir.s, OCT. B.—On the 7th of this month Mr. Thomas G. Cleurson had en audience of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and delivered his credentials as Charge d'Affaires of the United States of America of this Court. A melancholy event has excited a great sensation in the diplomatic body at Rio de Janeiro. M. de Schanz, Consul-General of Sweden at the Court of Brazil, has attempted to commit suicide, in consequence of having been discharged by his Government. The dose of arsenic which lie took was not strong enough to produce the intended effect. There are hopes of saving him; but still it is feared that all the care bestowed on him will be unavailing, so determined does he seem to put an end to his life. M. de Schanz, having exhausted all his resources in supporting the dignity of his office, was driven to this act of despair at the moment when he ex • pected to be appointed Charge d'Affaires. If we are rightly informed some modifications havebeen made in the original draft of the treaty of the Ist of September. These modifications are of little import ance; the object of them all is better to define the arrange ments respecting the navigation in the out-ports. A clause has been inserted in anticipation of the case, that, instead of increasing the duties on foreign corn, the Zollverien should diminish, or even suppress them. This case was wholly omitted in the original draft. It is here that the Prussian Government at first proposed altera tions much snore important, but they were all given up the Prussian Government having throughout manifested a desire to do away with everything that might delay the final conclusion of the arrangement. We are informed that the treaty of the Ist of Septem ber has been ratified by all the States interested, includ ing Belgium. It may, therefore, be immediately pub lished arid carried into effect. ALTENBURG, SEPT. 26.—Applications have been made here, and from Bavaria, fur permission to build a church for the Roman Catholics (thirty-eight persons). The Duke, however, has not granted it. To Bavaria an answer has been sent, courteously attending to the condition of the Protestants in that country. In the answer given at Altenburg, the grounds for rejecting the application are stated at length, and the persons in terested are required, at the same time, to determine what shall be done with the 2,000 florins received from Bavaria. VIENNA, SEPT. 28.—The report of the accession of Bohemia to the Zollverein, has excited a great sensation here, chiefly because the most important Bohemian manufacturers have magazines here. This important affair is generally spoken of, and though there are some who consider so bold a measure as injurious, and even impracticable, general opinion is decidedly in its favour. Bohemia would probably gain considerably by it, and the advantage would doubtless be shared by the whole empire. We remember that the Bohemian manufac turers have officially declared that they are fully able to compete with those of Germany. VIENNA, SEPT. 27.—The news of the accession of Bo hemia to the Zollverein, with which some German news papers amuse their readers, is certainly false. The ac cession of Bohemia, without the other German pro vinces, seems to us to be absolutely impossible, for it cannot be supposed that Austria will ever think of break ing the connection of Bohemia with Vienna, Moravia, and Hungary, and to offer nothing for the separation but a very precarious result. The accession of all the German provinces (that is, without Italy, Hungary, and Galicia) would be difficult, but the accession of Bohemia alone may be pronounced to be wholly impracticable under present circumstances. ST. PETERSBURGH, SEPT. 28.—The Northern Bee states that General Count Alexander Benkindorf, who was returning from Germany on board the Hercules steamer, died on board on the 23d inst. off the island of Dagoe. HAMBURGII, OCT. B.—The Swedish Journals of the Ist give long accounts of the coronation of their Majesties on the preceding Saturday. The ceremony was per formed according to the programme previously pub lished, and the whole passed off in the most perfect order. The spectators were deeply impressed with the religious character of the ceremony. The city was splendidly illuminated in the evening. On the following day the Ambassadors of Great Britain and Denmark had the honour to present the congratulations of their Sovereigns.—Hamburgh Papers, Oct. 8. BELGIAN FUNDS.—BaussaLs, OCT. 8.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY. The arrivals of English Wheat this week have been only moderate, hence the show of samples of that grain here was comparatively small. The demand, however, was inactive, yet previous rates were supported. In Fo reign Wheat only a retail business was doing, at about Monday's quotations. Fine Malting Barley was a ready sale, but no advance was noticed in prices. Superfine season-made Malt goes off as it comes to hand, on quite as good terms, but other kinds, as well as Beans and Peas, were inactive, at late rates. ARRIVAL& Wheat. Barley.

Thi s l a men t o t. event occurred at Surat, on Tuesd a y, th e 13th illsyjouf The deceased gentleman had for some time Pr e de val been unwell, and had stopped at Surat, on his way h oe to Bombay. Had he lived it was his intention t° „ g be proceeded to England by a steamer which leaves e 2ith instant. The intellectual powers of the lat e e at° Boyd were of a superior order, and his a cquirer f ie very extensive. He was well read, and intinistq e ve quainted with the political state of Indi a ; and his 3 ' o lll ledge of the habits and customs of th e na tives gerl e s ito so excellent, that he frequently brought it to hea r 1 0 such facility and effect, that it surpasses description., ja his public character he was prompt and decisiv e : o 'oW whatever capacity he was serving th e Govern s ' whether as Collector, Commission e r, S ecre tary, or 0; dent, he was beloved by all his inferiors, and the ri 2 t Boyd was never spoken of by them but with resP ee ß , admiration. In his private character he was frae, o ble; right, and full of honourable feeling ; generouiy ,°;„,sJl and unostentatious, he was universally esteemed pee' who had the honour of his acquaintance.
