From this day , Advertisements will he receiv,-cl at THE SUN Office up to Two o' Clock, and in sertacl without any extra charge. The extraor dinary speed of our Machinery, which prints at the rate of One Hundred Sheets per Minute, enables us to delay going to Press much later than other Papers ; and this extension of time will, we trust, be found occasionally very convenient fur those who may be delayed in getting Advertisements. ready for the usual time of the Evening Papers going to Press. NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS. Those who wish to obtain the latest Parliamentary News, should give orders, without delay, to their respective News-agents, to insure SECOND EDI TIONS OF THE SUN. A Second Edition will be given every Night during Parliament, containing the Debates in both Houses up to the Flour of Post ; and upon all extraordinary occasions, EXPRESS Editions will, as usual, be forwarded all over the Kingdom. The circulation of THE SUN has L really increased during the last year, upwards 91 - rWO HUNDRED THOUSAND Copies having been sold more than during the previous fear. The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 10 'ninnies past Three o'Clock. Zln 4:tat+ LONDON, MONDAY,EVENING, JANUARY 11, 1836. The flourishing state of the Revenue is a subject of congratulation in more than one point of view. While it affords the best proof of national prosperity, and thus gives the lie to those party croakers who can see nothing but symptoms of distress and decay wherever they cast their eyes, it is no bad evidence of the good management which prevails at head-quarters, as well as of the confidence which the country places in the pre sent Government. Great pains have, no doubt, been taken by the hired organs of an unprincipled faction, eager for place and plunder, to show by the strictest process of Tory logic, that Lord MELBOURNE and his Colleagues ever since their accession to office, were bent on nothing but mischief—that nothing less than the total destruction of everything good and great in the country would satisfy their ambition. But the people of England knew how to appreciate such senseless ca lumny—they laughed at it. Instead of winding up their accounts, and hoarding their earnings, against the fatal day when the so often predicted fall of the Monarchy is to take place, our merchants have been all the while extending their connexions and multiply ing their tralsactions—importing goods, writing let ters, and drawing bills at a greater rate than ever. Truly this is an odd way of showing alarm !—a queer commentary on the prophecies of the " Leading Journal " and its satellites ! From the improved and improving state of our finances, we may also hope for some remission of taxation. We know that so much has already been done in the way of lightening the public burdens that there may be some difficulty in carrying re duction much farther at present. But there is one tax to which this observation does not apply—we mean the Stamp duty on Newspapers. We have proved, over and over again, that were the duty re duced to one penny, or even less, the Revenue would be more than compensated for the loss by the increased consumption of paper, and other taxed articles, and the multiplication of advertisements, which would ne cessarily result from the greatly-increased circulation of Newspapers. The CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER has not to learn that the productiveness of a tax is not unfrequently in the inverse ratio of its airount ; and if ever there was a tax of which the reduction might confidently be predicted to render it more productive, it is the one in question. We nave put the matter in a mere financial view, because that is generally the most direct way to th heart of a Chancellor of the Exchequer. His first consideration is, and ought to be, the interest of the revenue. But there are cases which May form 4xcep-' tions to this rule. We contend, that could it even be proved that the revenue would sustain a loss by the reduction of this tax, it would be highly impolitic to continue it longer. What was it that placed Lord MELBOURNE and his associates where they now are ? What is it that keeps them there ? What but public opini9? Against this new dispenser of power there is a universal conspiracy among those who hold the doctrine of the " right divine to govern wrong." To bear down its decisions they scruple not to call in the aid of brute force, of bribery, of intimidation, and every other means within their reach. Is it not, therefore, a matter of the last importance in a national point of view that increased effect should be given to public opinion—that its influence should be invigorated and extended—and as it is henceforth to be the regulator of our national policy, that no means should be omitted to enlighten it more and more ? To these ends the dissemination of political know ledge among the people is essentially and obviously necessary--political discussion is a sine qua non. And how is this object to be accomplished ? In no other way under heaven than by the circulation of Newspapers. Let us tell the Government, too, that whether it will or not, the people will have cheap Newspapers. The present vast sale of unstamped papers, in spite of all that can be done to prevent it, ought of itself to be a sufficient proof of this deter mination on the part of the public. We might dwell upon the injustice which is now done to the proprietors of stamped papers, who are punished for their obedience to the laws by the dete rioration or ruin of their property, while the contra band trader flourishes at his sxpense ; but we trust the Government has determined to concede this boon to the public, while any grace yet remains attached to it. We do hope the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER will not allow the first week of the approaching Ses sion of Parliament to pass, without declaring that he is prepared to redeem the pledge which, if it was not given in so many words, was understood to be implied when Mr. BULWER, in August last, consented_ not to press to a division the motion which he then made on the subject. It was then said that the Budget was made up and could not be altered : that objection, at all events, cannot be made now. The Address of the Chamber of Deputies, in an swer to the Speech from the Throne, will be found in another column. We have few observations to make upon it ; for, like the Speech which called it into existence, it is more remarkable for its omissions, than for its statements of any kind. The Paris Journals of Saturday take but little notice of it ; and those of Friday, which we have likewise received, had not thought it worth their while to anticipate its senti ments. The Address was drawn up by M. SA IiZET, one of the most addle-headed Deputies in France. This gentleman, who actually knows nothing of the duties of a statesman, is constantly thrusting himself before the public, and permits no measure to be adopted, before lie has been heard upon it. His greatest recommendations are his outrageous loyalty, and his obstinate imperviousness to all conviction. His temerity is the result of ignorance, not in any way al lied to courage ; and therefore it is that Ministers put him forward, rather as an uso - n1 bully, than as an able advocate. His oratory is mere bombast—an inflation of whatever is absurd in the common-places of school boy rhetoric. Of logic he knows not the simplest ele ments• And yet to this person the Committee con ctefta' • , cuts, Royal Speech Verily, this looks very like a satire upon Ministers. As yet the Journal des Debats has not said a word respecting the address. We shall be curious to learn its opinion of the Committee's omission of all reference to the fate of Poland. Upon this question the Temps has a discovery quite new to us. It states that I‘l. de BROGLIE, after the debate in the Chamber of Peers upon the Address, by which he was very much excited, declared that if it was intended that France should take as decided a position against Russia as that of England, and that he was to be brought into this plan, he would no longer remain at the head of the Cabinet. He maintained, in a conversation that fol lowed, that France should hold the situation of a media. tor between the two great hostile Powers. On its being urged that a contrary course was suggested by the qua druple Alliance, he replied that this was a treaty in a special sense, relating to Spain and Portugal only. We were not previously aware that M. DE BROGLIE was so strongly opposed to a rupture with Russia. If the fact be as is stated above, the sooner he quits the Foreign Office the better. A Minister with such sen timents must unavoidably compromise the dignity of France. There is something amusing in the idea of DE BROGLIE'S mediatorship between England and Russia. Surely he is not ignorant that we can have no separate cause of quarrel. In our hostility to Russia we are actuated solely by a desire to enforce the observance of treaties, and to maintain inviolate the Constitutional freedom of Western Europe. The stain which we wish to see removed from the national honour disgraces the scutcheon of France—the dan- gers which assail us from the lawless aggressions of Russia, equally threaten France. And yet the Duke DE BROGLIE proffers his services as an umpire on the occa sion of a war between Great Britain and Russia ! This is certainly taking the matter as coolly as possible. If the Temps has not been misinformed, we would sug gest it as the first duty of the KING to permit M. DE BROGLIE to resign. It is impossible that the ho nour and interests of the French people should be maintained by a Foreign Minister who proclaims his disregard of the violation of the Treaty of Vienna. The Address of the Chamber of Peers was pre sented to the KING on Thursday evening. The KING received the Deputation very graciously, and replied to the Address in language expressive of his gratitude to the Peers, for the interest which the Chamber ap pears to take in' the welfare of Hls MAJEsTY's family. Tlie details of the execution of Lacenaire and Avril on Saturday morning, will be found among our extracts from the French journals. The only other news worthy of notice will be found subjoined PARIS, JAN. 9.—The illoniteur of this morning con tains in its official part only three ordinances of January 7 authorising the establishment of Savings' Banks at Cou. taures, Bregnoles, and Belley. The Court of Peers after pronouncing sentence in the affair of the accused who have fled from justice, will pro ceed to-day to judge the prisoners of the Category of Paris. They have been removed to the prison of the Luxemburg. A Journal of this morning says, " The expedition to Flemson (query Tremezen) is deferred ; perhaps it may not take place, in consequence of the voluntary submission of the tribes, which will induce others to follow their example." We wish this good news may be confirmed. The Journals of the frontier are full of details of the capture of Guetaria, the fort of which was still held by the Christinos, notwithstanding the reports to the contrary. The Indicateur says that the Carlists were preparing to attack Lequeito, another little fort near Guitaria. We have already pointed nut many contradictions in the accounts from the frontiers ; the following deserves notice : one of the Journals of the south announces at the same time, that the Carlists were sending an expedition from Navarre to Catalonia, and that Mina is expected from Catalonia in Navarre with 12 or 14,000 men. The Foreign Legion is in Navarre. General Alava was to leave Santander on the 3d of anuary, on board of the Sphynx steam-boat for Bayonne, whence he will first come to Paris and .afterwards return to London.-Messager, Jan. 9.

Letters and papers from Madrid, to the 3d inst., have been received, together with a report of the debate in the Chamber of Procuradores on the project of l a w demanding confidence in the present Government, The report of the first clay's debate has already ap peared in our columns ; that of the three following days will be found in another part of The Sun. M. MEN DIZABAL has obtained a most signal triumph—a tri umph which will accelerate the downfall of the Carlists, provided the Ministry know how to make a proper use of it. After a debate of four days, in which all the leading members of the Chamber took a part, and in the course of which the President of the Council was called upon for various explanations, respecting th e course proposed to be taken by the Government, the Chamber divided, when there appeared for the vote of confidence one hundred and fifty-six, against it—One ! So triumphant a majority was not expected by M. MENnizABAL, as a great number of those who voted in favour of the measure spoke against it. This may appear strange to some ; but to us it proves that the Spanish Cortes are men of enlarged and comprehen sive views. They were prepared to vote confidence in the Government, but they were opposed to the esta blishment of a precedent which future Governments might pervert into instruments for assailing the con stitutional liberty of the State. They wished it to be recorded that they voted confidence in Ministers, not as a question of principle, but as a matter of expe diency ; and therefore they li'ad recourse to the only means of preventing future Presidents from claimi ng as a constitutional ri g ht w h a t M. M ENDIZABAL ob tained as a political necessity. The carrying of this law of confidence in the Government will give M. MENDIZABAL the fulles t opportunity of adopting extensive plans for putting down the rebellion in the Basques. Nor is there the least grounds for the existence of a fear that he is wanting in the energy requisite for such an occasion as now presents itself. The QUEEN is exceedingly popular in the capital. ''Vhene,: , eyr:She rn.ppears -iny public, the people receive her with every demonstraiion'of-loyalty and respect. The complement of men necessary for the extraordi nary levy is nearly . completed. The recruits are in high spirits, and are preparing for the ensuing cam paign with the pride of patriots, rather than with the mercenary views of mere soldiers. As for M. MEN DIZABAL, he is idolized by the people. To oppose him is, in their opinion, to declare in favour of the Carlists ; and there is no doubt but that the QUEEN owes her present popularity entirely to his influence. The advices received by the Government from the North were ve , ry favourable. CORDOVA was at Lo grono, and the British Legion at Vittoria. The cold. in the northern provinces was intense, which is said to account for the inactivity of the Carlists. We have German, Dutch, and Belgian Papers, bu their contents are unimportant.

The son of Rammohun Roy, who has been for some time employed as a clerk in the Board of Control, has been appointed to a writership in India by Sir John Hobhouse. This is the first appoiotmomt of a native to one of those situations which, in the course of promotion, lead to the highest office in the Government of India, and places him at once on a footing with the first amongst the British Goy vernors of the land. Whilst in the Board of Control he evinced such intelligence, and performed his duties in a manner so creditable to his talents and industry, as must hav e secured to him the favourable notice of the head of that department. A meeting of the inhabitants of Birmingham is to be held at the Townhall, on the 18th instant, and an address to his Majesty, and also a petition to the House of Corn. mons, will be discussed. NORTHAMPTON-SUNDAY. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) The Reformers of this borough have come to the deter mination to invite their Liberal Representative, Robert Vernon Smith, Esq., to a public dinner, in order to express their gratitude for his conduct during the late contest in the Northern division of the County. The dinner, which is to take place next Thursday, is sure to be well attended, as Mrs. Smith, by his unmitigated industry, his perseverance in the cause of Reform, and his affable and obliging disposition, has greatly endeared himself to the Liberal part of the Constituency. .The dinner invitation originated with some of the Liberal Members of the Town Council, all of whom are sure to attend. • Our Tory Mayor attempted to make a muster to day, for the purpose of going to church in his robes. He waited till 11 o'clock, when, there being only two or three Aldermen to accompany him, he dismissed the Sergeant-at- Mace and the other officials, saying, he thought that he had not given so respectful an invitation to the other Aldermen as he should have done. His Worship, therefore, post poned his visit for another week. ROLLS COURT.-(THIS DAY.) This being the first day of Hilary Term, his Honour the MASTER of the ROLLS, having, together with the other Lords Commissioners of the Great Seal, to entertain the Judges, Masters in Chancery, King's Counsel, &c., at Lin coln's Inn, did not take his seat at Westminster till nearly two o'clock. His Honour proceeded with new suits. VI :CE-CHANCERY-(THIS DAY. The VICE-CHANCELLOR took his seat at Westminster to-day, shortly before twelve o'clock. His Honour pro ceeded to hear the further arguments in the part-heard case of " Michael v. Dr. Pasket," which have already occupied the Court two or three days. It was very currently reported in the Court to-day, that the Master of the Rolls was to be the new Lord Chancellor, and Mr. Bickersteth the Master of the Rolls. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) This being the first day of Hilary Term, the Court was opened with the usual formalities at half-past one o'clock, before Lord Chief Justice Denman, and Justices 'Williams, Littledale, and Coleridge. Mr. Justice Pattison will pre side in the Bail Court. THE LING V. THE CHURCH-WARDENS OF BRIGHTON. The ATTORNEY - GENERAL moved for a rule to show cause why a mandamus should not issue directed to the Church-warden's of the parish of Brighton, and command ing them to nr:ke a rule for the purpose of re-paying to the Church-commissioners a sum of 800/. being the balance of a sum of 15,000/. advanced in the year 1823, for the build of a church. 12,0001. had been paid, and they had refused to make a rule to repay.the balance, alleging that it was a loan, which was not the ease.' Lord DENMAN—Take a rule. EXCHEQUER COURT--(THIS DAY The Judges did not take their seats to-day till half-past one o'clock, liming met the Lords Commissioners of the Great Seal, King's Counsel, at Lincoln's Inn, to breakfast, as usual, on the first day of Term. Nothing of importance occurred up to the time of our going to press. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. During last week we had moderato arrivals of all kinds of grain, and there was a small return of Flour. The trade con tinued without any variation, but with an inclination to higher prices. This morning there is a small fresh supply of most kinds of corn. The Wheat trade was very firm, and for super fine may be rated full is. to 2s. per quarter higher than the previous Monday. The finest samples of Malting Barley, also, realized ls. per quarter more than this day se'nnight. Beans heavy sale. Pease dull, and unvaried. Oats continue in moderate demand, and may be noted firm in value. Flour dull sale, at the last week's quotations. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP. 36s 40s .d)... 40s. 455. 355. 355. 365. 395.

AGGREGATE Tares, I2—Linseed LITERATURE. THE CHILD'S OWN HISTORY OF FRANCE. J. Thomas. London, 1835. A very useful, intelligent little publication, which sketches the leading events in French history, from the period of the conquest of Gaul by the Franks, under Clovis, down to the assumption of the monarchical dignity by Louis Philippe, in that simple, easy, and familiar style which is so well calculated to attract the attention of youthful readers. The work is embel lished, like the school abridgment of Hume's England, with heads, in wood-cut, of the different French Kings, and by way of frontispiece, contains an en graving from David's well-known painting of Napo leon crossing the Great St. Bernard. LIFE AND TIMES OF RIENZL - Whittaker. London, 1836. The success of Mr. Bulwer's late Novel of " Ri enzi," has been the means of once again drawing public attention to the life and times of the last of the Roman Tribunes--as Lord Byron calls him in Childe Harold.—and the present publication is the conse quence of that awakened interest. It is as much as we can say of it, that it is an industrious compilation, with here and there an attempt at minute portraiture of character, in which the author's good intentions are more to be commended than his abilities. However, as the work is well-timed, and not unduly burtheried with prolixity, we dare say it may meet with a fair portion of popularity. The volume is got up with singular neatness, as respects shape, typography, &c. EXERCISES FOR LADIES. J. Hurst. London, 1836. A subject of this nature requires great skill and de licacy of handling, and Mr. Donald Walker, the author of the present treatise, has shown himself every way competent to discuss it. He explains, at some length, and with laudable minuteness, the nature of the out door and in-door exercises, best calculated to increase the strength and heighten the symmetry of the female form. His chapter on " Indian Sceptre Exercises," is, in particular, well worthy of attention, and not a little amusing from the numerous curious engravings with which it is illustrated. But indeed the embellish ments arc among the most striking features of the vo lume, for they display the female figure in an infinite variety of attitudes—whether riding, walking, sitting, sleeping, playing on the harp, or writing—no doubt, a love-letter—at a well-furnished desk in a drawing-room. CABINET CY CrOP7EIJIA, Vol. LXXIV. Longman. London, 1836. The present Number of this Cyclopxdia contains the Second Volume of Mr. Connop Thirlwall's " History of Greece," which commences with the abolition of royalty at Athens, and concludes with the exile and death of Themistocles. The work is written with con siderable care, and occasionally displays a philosophic tone of observation highly creditable to the author's intellect. The battle of Plata is described with more life and animation than Mr. Thirlwall usually exhibits, for his history, though accurate—and, generally speak ing, impartial—is not remarkable for spirit.

Madras Papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee House to the 6th of September. The following are extracts " Sir H. Fane, Commander-in-Chief in India, embarked on board the True Briton this morning, the 29th August, under a salute of 17 guns. The surf was very high, and at the time his Excellency and Staff embarked, and before the ship left the loads, two accidents, one of which was attended with fatal consequences, occurred. It appears that a boat was coming on shore from his Majesty's ship Wolf; she was struck by the heavy sea, which dashed her to pieces, and left the crew and passengers to the mercy of the waves ; but by prom pt assistance th e y were a ll p i c k e d up. The second boat was returning from the True Briton with some of the servants from the Government House, when she was filled with water, and one man was washed out. No lives were lost." A New Orleans price current, also received, of the 28th Nov., remarks,--" Our market begins to show some signs of returning activity, though it is very far from being animated, much less so indeed than appearances indicated in the earlier part of the season. The weather has been very cold. The Mississippi is within 6 feet at high water mark, having risen about 2i feet." THE FUNDS. Consols, which left off on Saturday at 928 for the Account, opened this morning at the same price for Feb ruary Account-92i 93, little doing ; Exchequer Bills, 22 24 ; India Bonds, 5 7 ; Bank Stock, 213 i 2141.

Our arrivals this morning are few in number, the ordinary foreign mails, with ship letters from Oporto and Madras. We have no further accounts of the late dreadful fire at New York, but it is generally believed in the City that the statement of the great loss sustained is much exaggerateds The delay this morning in the delivery of the letters from the Post-office was occasioned by the heaviness of the roads, owing to the great fall of snow yesterday and last night. HALF-PAST - ONE. From the New Orleans Price Current of the 28th of November ---" The week's business has been much heavier than we have yet had to record this season, amounting to about 14,000 bales, and the stock now on sale reduced very small. Round lots have brought very full prices, and in consequence of the great scarcity of fine cotttons, half a cent advances have been obtained. Buyers for tho French market have been again the exclusive operators, purchasing with much eagerness. BRIGHTON-STINDA-i: The King and Queen, the Royal suite and household, tended Divine Service this morning in the Palace Chape... The Marchioness of Ely and the Rev. Dr. Foord Bowes were in the Royal pew with their Majesties, and the body of the sacred edifice was crowded with nobility and gentry The Rev. Dr. Everard read prayers, and an excellent geri mon was preached from the II th chapter of St. Luke, 35th verse, by the Rev. J. S. M. Anderson. An anthem from the 57th Psalm, composed by Michael Wise, was well sung by the choir. Another change in the weather, in the course of the night, from the mildness of Spring to the severe cold of the Winter, has confined their Majesties, the Court, and all our fashionables, within doors. Snow has fallen thickly here during the day, unaccompanied by frost, and the roads and public drives are in a disagreeable state. The Swedish and Greek Ministers quitted Brighton this morning for the metropolis. Yesterday morning his Majesty, being free from the pressure of State business, took a carriage drive before luncheon with the Duchess of Gloucester. In the after noon his Majesty, accompanied by Lady de Lisle, drove out on the Lewes road. The Queen, accompanied by the Hon. Miss Hope John stone, honoured the village of Rottingdean with a visit yes terday morning before luncheon.

The following is a copy of the official letter in which they were informed that their request had been acceded to : " Treasury Chambers, Jan. 7, 1836. " Gentlemen—l n answer to your representation of the I ath ult., complaining of the inconvenience of the day at present fixed for dispatching the mails for Lisbon from the Post-office, I have it in command from the Lords Commissioners of his Majesty's Treasury to acquaint you, that as it appears the merchants trading with Portugal would prefer that the Lisbon mail should be dispatched on the Saturday in each week, in stead of Friday, the Postmaster-General has given directions that in future the mails for Portugal shall be forwarded from the Post office on every Saturday, commencing with the pre sent week. I am, gentlemen, your obedient servant, " E. J. STA " Messrs. Fost er , B rot h ers , an d other merchants trading with Portugal." Earl Spencer spent the Christmas in the society of his brother, the Hon. Captain Spencer, and his family. The infant son of Captain Spencer, in the event of his father's death, would be presumptive heir to the Earldom of Spencer. The inhabitants of Montmartre, alarmed at the fre quent falling in of the soil, occasioned by the subterranean excavations made in the quarries of plaster of Paris in that quarter, have addressed a petition to the Prefect of Paris, to request him to put an end to an abuse which places their lives and property in jeopardy. On Sunday last the garden of M. Lalent, of the Opera, was carried away by a fall of earth, and a neighbouring house ran a similar risk. It is hoped that the authorities, warned by the numerous accidents that have occurred, will take proper measures for preventing their recurrence. The Duke of Wellington has returned to Apsley House, from his visit to the Duke of Rutland at Belvoir Castle, Earl of Westmoreland at Apthorp, and to Earl Brownlow at Belton House. The Duke of Devonshire's stay in Paris will be protracted far beyond the meeting of Parliament. CITY POLICE COMNIITTEE.—On Saturda Wil liam Melli s h, t h e conductor of a Richmond omnibus,y and J. Limpus, the conductor of another, which runs to Brompton, were charged bef ore th e Cit y P o li ce Committee with fight ing on Ludgate -hill for five minutes, thereby obstructing the carriage and foot way, the bone of contention being which should convey a lady passenger. It appeared by the evidence that the lady wanted to go to Walworth, but that one of the defendants snatched a parcel from her, and the other popped her into his vehicle. In the confusion, the lady did not discover that she was in the wrong vehicle until she arrived at Charing-cross, where she was set down. Limpus was proved to be the first. aggressor, and fined 205., and his antagonist 10s. and costs. The conductor of the Kensington omnibus, No. 2,169, was charged by a gentleman named Green with hav ing maliciously shut his leg between the door and the step, and with other misbehaviour. The defendant was fined 3/. and costs, and, in default of payment, sentenced to one month's imprisonment. On New-Year s day, a Leicester ewe, belonging to Mr. Ralph Watson, of Garthfoot, yeaned a fine lamb.

ARTIFICIAL ICE FOR CURLING. --Mr. Cairnie, of Curling Hall, Largs, has constructed there an artificial pond for curling purposes. His formation of ice proceeds on pro clueing a surface of water so shallow that the deepest part do; not exceed one-fourth of an inch. With the frost we have lately had in England this water would become solid in from two to three hours ; and he never fails, when the water is at the freezing point " most excellent i ce , w i th this advantage over what , is o havew borne, that it i s as level as the truest billiard-table aterand. never yields, beinc , frozen at the bottom.
