The total value of our Exports, last year, was, in round numbers, 131,000,000/. ; and of our Imports, say 68,000,000/. ; together, 191,000,000/. ; and the total Revenue of Customs netted thereon to 18,520,340/. Therefore the total amount of our Exports and Imports, together, this yesr, should be upwards of 212,000,0001., cal culated on the increased product of Customs. Now, we cannot bring ourselves to imagine that there has been any such accumulation in the transactions of our general commerce as would repr_eeent this in creased aggregate of 21,000,0001, on Exports and Imports. Besides, had there been any such incredible ad vance in the extent of our general dealings, as this calculation would infer, it must have been diffused throughout, and made itself sensibly felt, in all the great branches of our productive and material in dustry. No department can hare much languished for want of full employment and active demand. There must have been no strikes, no furnaces put out, no mills discontinued, no factories shut up, no fisheries deserted, no shipping dismantled, no la bourers discontinued, no looms unemployed, no surplus supply, and no diminished markets of in dustrial occupation. In proportion as this whole some state of things has prevailed, capital must have been called into new employment, wages must have circulated, and consumption of exciseable commodi ties must have largely increased. It would atllerd us no pleasure—and the reader as little gratification to contrast, with this hypothesis, the real picture of affairs in some of the northern and western districts )f this kingdom ; or to follow out the inferences to which the poor-law returns, at home—the memorials of our planters and proprietors in the West Indies, and our other colonial possessions —would infallibly lead us. Suffice it to say, that the Revenue return; exhibit, under the head of Excise (always the great test of the means of consumption in the labouring masses of the country), a slight decrease on the pre sent quarter as compared with its correspondent in 1843, and on the whole year an increase by no means proportionate to such an actual increase of Customs as has been realised, or such an increase of )ur general commerce as the hypothetical average we have struck, supposes. The Customs' Improvement 'oust, therefore, be traced to other causes. 'We are willing to attribute it to that from which The Sun has so often predicted that results of this gratifying nature would ensue—namely, an increased, though tardy, vigilance, on the part of the controlling autho rities of the Board of that Department, and the con sequent check upon that destructive system of fiscal frauds and depredations which their supineness or rnbecility has allowed, for so many years, to prevail with almost perfect impunity. Then we must always remember, that of the vast aggregate of this year's net Revenue, 50,741,6221., eo less an item than 5,148,740/. has been contributed, in the thirtieth year of profound peace, by that 'candalous enormity of financial tinkering, Sir R. Peen's property-tax. We doubt whether even the nodesty of the Premier will venture to take my credit for the astonishing yield of this con- Tivance for depleting the plethoric pockets of JOHN BULL beyond the degree of assurance which sustained dm in prosecuting such a scheme for replenishing his Exchequer, in lieu of the more legitimate, more pro iuctive, more statesmanlike, more certain, but less Inward course, of striking off from trade the shackles imposed by prejudice, and riveted by monopoly.

The Paris papers of Monday give full details of the proceedings at Windsor Castle on Thursday, the visit of the KING to Twickenham, the investiture of his MAJESTY with the Order of the Garter, and the address of the Corporation of Windsor with the Keno's reply. The Constitutiotine/ passes over these events without any remarks. Not so the National and the Commerce. The former, after quoting that part of the speech in which he expresses his wish for peace and the satisfaction . he felt on receiving the address, exclaims "a /a bonne heure. Well ! this is plain enough, and here we find M. GUIZOT bodily. Peace everywhere and always figures as the burden of the harangue." The writer goes on at some length in the same style, evidently blinded with rage ; for while reading The Sun he imagined he was reading the Times. "It is not surprising then," he adds, "that Louis Purtirrn should have been honoured whether at Windsor or Twickenham with the following bucolic strains (distraitions bucolique) with which the visit to Twickenham had inspired the Times. The writer then quotes the " Lucolic strains' which appeared in this journal, and was transferred to the columns of our morning Contemporary. The Commerce, which has abstained more from offensive remarks than some of the other Opposition journals, breaks out at last in these words : " The King has been invested with the Order of the (tarter. Since Henry the Fourth no French Sovereign has taken part in a similar ceremony. Under any other circumstance we might have considered this as a symbol of alliance, and have rejoiced at it. But in these days of constitutional doctrines and institutions it is without any political signification. Queen Victoria and King Louis Philippe may exchange all their decorations Avithout'imposing any obligation on their respective Governments. Wo can see in all this nothing more th an an exchange of courtesy—a code of manners for the especial use of Princes. The people have nothing to expect from it. How can we otherwise account fur the contrast between the gracious politeness of the Court of Windsor, and the increasingly outrageous language of the English journals of all par ties ? It is evident that the chiefs of the two countries exchange courtesies and tender their hands to each other above the heads of their people. In this they play their parts of Princes reigning by virtue of the constitutional principle. It is a royal comedy, nothing more. There is something, how ever, which is deserving of the most attentive consideration. and the most severe scrutiny. It is the conduct of those Ministers who have lcd the people of the two countries into that state of permanent irritation and distrust which finds expression in the ever violent language of the London press, and in the animated replies of that of France. We have before said what we cannot too often repeat, that the miserable policy of the English and French Ministers has for many years revived slumbering rancour, and provoked disunion between England and France. Our national feeling, wounded by the demands of the English Ministry, by the despotism of their claims, by the ening injustice of their encroachments, has again turned against the English alliance. bir Robert Fed has completed the work by demanding, with violence, in full Parliament reparation from France for an act provoked by the intrigues of biz own agents. tier Ministry has aggravate i the ferment of discord by e-:nsenting to grant these reparations when any other in his place would have an equivalent frola the arrogant power which required them. Certainly we fain take literally, and as addressed to all France, the exaggerated anti courtier like praises which the English papers lavish on the King who re presents this country. lint we are forced to divide their language into two parts, that of flattery which is ad dressed above, and that of insult which is aimed below." The Journal des &bats, in the absence of political events of importance, gives the following historical account of the present state of steam machinery in Prance:-- THEATRE ROYAL LYCEUM, LATE ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.

" Our progress in the construction of steam-engines is not of an old date. At the first it went on very slowly, but in this, as in our iron- works, we have since made up for lost time by our exertions, as the following sta tistics will prove, In 1820, there were not more than 200 steam-engines, whether of high er low pressure, in France, and a b ou t one -f ort h o f which were of English lt make.

In general result, the 3,053 fixed en gines give a collective force of 39,000 steam horse-power, presenting, at the rate of three draught horses for every steam-horse-power, a force equal to 117,927 horses, or 819,189 men. The 204 locomotives at 45 horse-power each, make a power of 9,180 draught horses, or 64,260 men ; and, in fine, the 337 engines working in the steam boats give a power equal to 35,003 horses, or 245,000 men. In total, a power of 161,207 draught horses re presenting 1,128,449 men. S uc h was the approximative minimum of force, without comprising 1,609 boilers for heating or giving motion, the force of which is not indi cated, that was given by steam in 1842 to private in dustry." The Memorial Bordelais has the following : " By the Po, Captain Chevalier, we have got news from Senegal, of August 11. The gum contract is com pleted, but the produce is not more than one-third of the ordinary quantity. The war, which lasted for five years between the colony and the kingdom of Fonta, and which did so much injury to the small trade, by preventing in tercourse with Gahm, was happily terminated. Chef de Battalion Caille, Director of the Home-office, had just arrived at St. Louis, bringing the treaty of peace with the Almemy. Even the chiefr, rho had been most hostile, readily affixed their signatures to it, so gratified were they at seeing a renewal of intercourse between our settlement and their country. In consequence of the cessation of hostilities with Fonts, M. Houars, the Go vernor ad interim, took measures fur insuring effective protection to all the small vessels during their voyage to Galam. The authorities bill be the better seconded in these measures, as the iron steam-boats destined to serve on the river, and which left Rochefort at the beginning of August, will not be long before they arrive." The Didon, Gloire, Danaki, N' .aide, Erigone, and Psyche frigates of the port of Brest, are, says the Con stitutionncl, to be got ready with all possible speed to be placed en commission de rade. At Toulon it is asserted that the Montebello, Trident, C‘re:eux, St. Puri, and Ville de Marseille ships of the line ' are to be placed i n a short time en commission d e rade. The Asmodee steam frigate, lately gone to Tunis, will remain under the orders of Admiral Parseval Deschesues. By the return of ti e Triton to Tculon, and the departure of the Inflexible and Belle Poule for Cherbourg, there remain in the Strait of Gibraltar none of the large vessels that took part in the expedition against Morocco.

PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAT.-At eight o'clock this morning the royal yacht, the Victoria and Albert, left the harbour under a salute of artillery, com mencing with the 'Victory, dressed in flags, and with manned yards, quickly followed by the batteries on shore, the French steamers Pluton and Caiman, the brigs, and the large ships of war, both French and English, at anchor at Spithead ; all the vessels were beautifully decorated with flags—both French and British ensigns waved in unison. The French ships Inflexible and Belle Poule fired their salutes in a new manner; and certainly it added much to the roaring of the cannon. They fired at least eight guns at the same instant, The roar from this species of firing made the other guns sound like musketry. At nine the royal yacht neared the Gomer, when she stopped her engine, the royal barge was manned, and the Queen and Prince Albert, attended by the Admiralty Lords, visited the Gomer. On her arrival on board, she was received by Admiral La Susie and the officers. The royal standard was hoisted at the main-top-gal lant-mast head of the Gomer, the yards manned, and royal salutes poured forth their thunder from the Inflexible, 90; Belle Poule, GO; and the steamers. Pluton and Caiman, which was returned by all the British squadr on an d the batteries. The Queen re mained on board the Gomer upwards of an hour She then went in her barge to the Victoria and Al bert, and proceeded, at a slow rate, through the line of ships. On her leaving the Gomer she was again saluted by the French ships, which was returned by the English. All the ships manned yards as the royal steamer passed them in succession, and the three deckers manned their gunwales, a line of men stand ing on the hammock settings, from the righthead to the poop. The marines were also under arms on the poops of the ships, who presented arms as the Victoria passed them, their bands playing " God save the Queen." After passing the line of ships, full speed was put on the royal steamer, and she was soon out of sight on her way to Cowes. The French King's sailing yacht, the Reine Amelie, was towed out of harbour by the Echo steamer, and an chored near the Gomer; the Kestrel, Lord Yar borough's yacht, was likewise towed out, and took part in the saluting business. Numbers of other yachts were likewise under weigh; and a variety of steamer, all gaily dressed in flags, were sailing and steaming about Spithead. RET URN OF KING LOUIS PHILIPPI TO FRAN CE.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1844, At the last weekly meeting of the Dublin Repea? Association, a long and elaborate letter was read from Mr. O ' CONNELL, dated from his mountain home at Derrynane. This letter, we will honestly confess, has not a little puzzled us, for after an attentive perusal of it we cannot make out what is the writer's drift; whether he is desirous of substituting Federal. ism for total and unqualified Repeal, or whether he i: still as staunch an advocate for the latter measure, to he was during the memorable year of the monster meetings. In one part of his communication he oh serves;—" For my own part I will own that since ] have come to-contemplate the specific differences, such as they are, between simple Repeal and Federalism, I do at present feel a preference for the federative plan, as tending more to the utility of Ireland, and to the maintenance of the connexion with England than the mode of simple Repeal." This is distinct and definite language enough, which he who runs may read; hut mark what follows !—" Let us, if possible, combine al classes ; but let us not forget that we have alread y more than moral force enough to render a long re sistance to a peaceable and legal Repeal of the Union impossible. It is a mere question of time—the Repeal is certain. Hurrah then for Repeal!" Now surely the spirit of these two passages is exceedingly perplexing and contradictory ! In the former Mr . O'Coristsm, hurrahs for Federalism—in the latter for Rejaeal. In the former he professes himself content to take an instalment, as it were, of Repeal— in the latter he exhorts his countrymen to combine and agitate for the full and entire measure. He goes the whole hog in the one case—in the other, he is satisfied with taking a moderate portion of the porker. Then, as regardi his advice to the Irish people to combine. So far as we can - perceive, there is less chance of their being enabled to do this than ever; for they now bid fair to be split into three distinct stxtions—of those, namely, who support Dr. Mews laLL's project of triennial Parliaments; of those who tislo' pt Mr. G REY P ORTER ' S v i ews o f Federalism ; nd of those wh o c li ng tenac i ous l y to t h e demand made at the monster meetings of 1843, for a full, entire, unconditional Repeal of the Union. How are people to combine zealously and unani mously who hold such conflicting opinions as these ? The followers of Dr. MAURSELL will naturally he loth to give up their medium project of a triennia House of Common's ; and the advocates of Repeal will he ,. apt to look w ith di s t rust on all who do not adopt heir own view of the question, and go the length to ~ At hich they are pledged. We confess we are by no ft ?-useans sorry to see these different theories at work, *fi, by dividing the attention of the community, it is mere . than probable that they will ultimately have the effect of weakening the clamour for a Repeal of the Union —as originally started at the Association--than which, as we have observed not once, but a hundred times' in The Sun, no measure can be more injurious t o th e i nterests of the • empire at large, and more absolutely suicidal to those of Ireland in particular. Thus much by Way of objec tion to Mr. O'CossELL's lengthy communication. Oa the per contra side, we may observe that there are some portions of it in the spirit of which we c•rdially concur. " Two propositions," says the THE THEATRES. ADELPHL A clever burlesque of Telemachus was produced at this theatre last evening. Archbishop Fenelon has been minted at the Adelphi into Stirling Coyne, to the great delight of her Majesty's laughter-loving lieges. There are several excellent hits in this burlesque, all of which told with effect ; but with such a cast as that of last night, a piece of much less merit than Telemachus must have been successful. There was Wright, as Calypso, dancing is la Taglioni, and sing ing a la Persiani, as he alone can sing and dance ; there was Paul Bedford as Mentor, the tormentor of Telemachus, who was ekcellently personated by Miss Woolgar ; while Miss Ellen Chaplin was Cupid, the conductor of a buss from Bow to (H)arrow. Eucharis, the nymph, the lady-love of Teletnachtis, was very cleverly acted by Miss E. Harding, a young lady whom we do not recollect to have seen before on the Adelphi boards. She had but little to do, but that little was done wall. She has a pleasing voi ce , i and sings with taste ; her action s exeeedingly graceful, added to which she is a very pretty girl. We hope to see more of Miss E. Harding. There was a Negro Polka introduced, ili the Singing and dabcing of which to a banjo a9companiment, S. Cowell elicited shouts of laughter. Of course it was encored. Wright, too, gave an excellent imitation of Macready in the arrow- shooting scene of Willittm Tell, and Was much applauded. There was some very pretty dancing introduced, and the whole was put upon the stage in the most complete style pos sible. The scenery was superb, and the whole mounting of the cede was worthy o f W e b ster ' s fame. It was preceded by Cesar de Bazan, and followed by the Fox and the Goose. The house Was a bumper, 1844.LITERATURt HISTORY S o MI! 2 rols. tley,The history before us ) which is edited by Mary Howitt, is a translation from the Swedish of Anders Fryxell, and has=as We learn fl'ott the prefaee.:- - - -. % - met with great suctess in the author's native country, the first volume having already gone through not less than six editions. it Ji singtddr the this i;Oliiiii6 'Whin had 4 i','"en so popular in Sweden, is the most fabulous of any portion of the history; and will most likely be the least approved ai it Con sist's a old Scandinavian legends, which, for the most part, are of a i rideologs bbaratter ; ,and throws little or no light oh thtt historica' eventsof the Yeihote pu , riod to which they refer.

DARk FAL("ON. 4 Vols. Bentley, London, 1844. The author of this Oriental tale, which refers to events of comparatively recent occurrence in Persian history, is Mr. Bailie Praser, already favourably known to the novel-reading portion of the community by his romance of the "Kureilbash"—a work only inferior in power to Hope's " Anastaalus?' The scene of his present narrative is laid for the most part on the Persian frontiers, and opens with a graphic descrip tion—the author excels in the descriptive—of a night march in a snow-storm, among the mountains of the Caucasus, which is undertaken by a party of horse men, consisting of Jaaffer Koolee Khan and his attendants, who are journeying towards the residence of the former's brother, Aga Mahomed Khan—an en terprising soldier of fortune, who, after many singular reverses of fortune, contrived to raise himself to the throne of Persia. The character of this wily, am bitious adventurer, is drawn with uncommon force, and contrasts admirably with that of his more generous kinsman, Jaaffer Koolee Khan, who ulti mately falls a victim to the distrust of his royal brother. The hero of the story is a young orphan, known by the name o f t h e "D ar k Falcon," who is protected th roug h lif e b y a mysterious, Meg Merrilies sort of woman, and after engaging in the service of Jaaffer, is, on his death, transferred to the household of Mahomed Khan, then Shah of Persia, and re warded by the hand of a young girl of the Kajar tribe—the history of whose constant affection for him, during the darkest season of adversity, when there seemed to be scarcely a hope that the lovers should again meet, forms the most touching and interesting eir,sode in the romance. In the course of his tale, Mr. Fraser gives us several animated sketches of do me'stic life among the nomadic Toorkoman tribes, v,hich bear every appearance of being scrupulously accurate. In places he is a little too much given to prolixity ; and not a few of his incidents have the slightest possible connexion with the main plot of his story, which they tend rather to encumber than assist; but as a faithful picture of Oriental manners, the work deserves all, the success that it will most likely meet with. , 1 0k THIS DAY'S NEWS BOROUGH OF FINSBURY REGIS TRATION.—(THIS DAY.) PARISH OF ST. LUKE'S —FINE OF ARREARS. (Before D. C. MOYLAN, Esq.)' Considerable discussion ensued this morning respect ing the omission of the names of two persons, named Buckle and Clements, from the lists of voters fur the borough, through the neglect of one of the collectors of the assessed taxes. It appeared that they personally applied to one of the overseers to have their names re instated in the list ; this the overseer promised to do, but he did not fulfil his promise. Mr. Sinclair being called on by the Revising Barrister to explain the cause of such omissions, expressed his regret at the occurrence, and said he bad done all in his power to rectify the mistake when it was pointed out to him. The name of another person, residing in the same street as Mr. Buckle, who had not paid his taxes, had been mistaken for him, consequently Mr. Buckle, who had duly paid his taxes, vas returned as not having paid his taxes. Mr. MOYLAN said that, by the 12th section of the Re form Act, he (the collector) was bound to give the over seers, on the 21st or 22d of July. a Est of all persons in their district who had not paid their taxes. Mr. Sinclair said he had never been required to do so, otherwise he should have supplied such list. Mr. MOYLAN then gave judgment in the case, and im posed a fine of 60s. upon the overseers of the parish of St. Luke's. --- BOW-STREET.--(THIS DAY.) William Harris, a waiter at the King William the Fourth Hotel, King William-street, Strand, was charged with stealing a silk umbrella, the property of Mr. Core thorne. The prosecutor stated that he went into the King William Hotel last night with two friends to supper. Heliad a silk umbrella in his hand, and he laid it down in the chair. When they were about to leave, the umbrella was not to be found. The only person in the room while the prosecutor was taking his supper was the prisoner. Some time wat- taken up in looking for the umbrella, and the landlady ultimately found it by the side of the prisoner's bed. .He was of course given into custody. The prisoner, in his defence, said that his master had got up a conspiracy against him, as he was to leave his service this morning. The gentleman with whom he was to live came last night and got his (the prisoner's) character, which was given by his master, and with which the gentleman was satisfied. Mr. TWYFoRD said it would be necessary for the land lady of the King William the Fourth to attend to give evidence. It was a very common thing for waiters when they left hotels to carry off anything they could easily lay their hands on.—The prisoner was then remanded. CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.) A young man named Shiel was charged with creating a violent disturbance in the St. Pancras workhouse. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Lee, the master, that the prisoner, who has been twelve times punished fbr similar misconduct, is in the habit of instigating the other paupers to rebel against the workhouse discipline. On the previous day he became exceedingly riotous, and when checked by the porter, became so violent that the whole workhouse was thrown into a state of confusion. He was sent to prison for seven days. A person named Began was charged with stealing a gold chain and watch, the property of Mr. Mayen, of Titchfield-street, Soho, conl-merchant. The robbery was fully established, the property having been found in the prisoner's boot—Committed for trial. UNION-HALL. —(THIS DAY.) Thomas Davis was charged before Mr. Traill with stealing a purse, containing money, the property of Mrs. Thompson, during the fire at the terminus of the South- Eastern Railway. The complainant stated, that having occasion to pass near the scene of the conflagration at the terminus, near the Bricklayers' Arms, on Monday night, she felt a hand in her pocket. On turning round she observed the pri soner and a little boy, the latter of whom ran amongst the crowd and escaped, but she called out and gave the prisoner into custody. A witness stood forward, who stated that he saw the boy thrust his hand into the complainant's pocket, and draw forth a purse, which he handed over to the pri soner, and then ran away. The prisoner, however, con trived to get rid of the purse on being taken into custody. The prisoner said that he went to look at the fire, and that he knew nothing about the stealing of the purse— that he had no companion. A policeman said the prisoner was the associate of thieves, and that he and the boy alluded to were regular pickpockets, and always hovering about the terminus of the railway. Mr. TBA - ILL remanded the prisoner until the boy is ,aken into custody. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(THIS DA Y.) LONDON, OCT. 16.—Wind fresh breeze from W.N.W., and cloudy.

The accounts r ece i ve d f rom many of the more im portant grazing counties represent that a scarcity of fodder was beginning to be felt rather severely. The consequence was, that at the annual cattle fairs that have already taken place, the purchasers of stock were ex tremely cautious in buying any considerable number, and prices have consequently ruled low as compared with those made this time twelvemonths. Throughout the kingdom the crops of turnips are represented as being more or less injured. The Mock of hay and straw being also very short, fears are entertained that prices will rule very high during the winter and spring. The foreign grain markets have been influenced rather by the lateneess of the harvest in some districts than by any expectation that the demand for this country will take off any very considerable quantities until at least the month of June and July next, and then only should the prospects of our own crops be discouraging. In the north of Europe there was up to the last dates much corn out. In Prussia the farmers had had a very indifferent yield, and much de spondency prevailed in consequence. From Dautzic and Koningsburg the harvest is represented as being less productive than had been calculated upon. The new samples of Wheat that had been exhibited were generally of inferior quality, and almost entirely unfit for exportation. A few vessels had been taken up for conve3ing old Wheat to the Channel Islands and to Hull. At Odessa the quotations of Wheat were on the deline. It appears by the last return, made up to the end of Sep tember, that in that week the imports of foreign Wheat into the principal ports of England and Scotland, were of Wheat and Wheat Flour, 16,059 quarters ; of Barley, 46,295 quarters ; and of Opts. about 13,000 quarters. Of Wheat, 3,597 quarters were entered for home con sumption ; of Barley, 69,477 quarters ; and of Oats, &e., 9,064 quarters. The amount of Colonial Wheat entered was 7,964 quarters. The duties paid upon all grain cleared last month, for home use, was 10,0001. 19s. 9d. There are not any late arrivals in the City this morn• ing from the British Colonies. The preparations for the opening of the New Royal Exchange are proceeding with the utmost alacrity. Additional hands have been put on, is order to have the whole of the arrangements completed. This morning the wooden pavement on the south side has been all but completed, and it is exp-eted that in two or three days the principal part of the hoarding which now surrounds this splendid build ing will be removed, and a full view of the front of the new Royal Exchange exhibited. In the Funds, this morning, there has not been any alteration of importance. Th ere i s not, we are assured, the least ground for the statement that the alteration of the route of Louis Philippe, on his return to his own country was occasioned by any in formation he had received that an attempt had been planned upon his life. The state of the weather was alone the reason of the voyage, by way of Dover, being selected. The gratuitous assertion that the life of the King of the French had been insured for a month for 10,0001., at 20s. per cent., is without th e s li g h test foun dation, as we ar e i n f orme d. The Consol Market has been rather firm this morn ing, the price for the Account having advanced to 100 k. There was not any bargains of importance effected this morning. Exchequer Bills are heavy at 745. premium. The New Three and-a-Quarter per Cents. have rallied from 1011 to 102 k. Bank Stock has fluctuated from 2041 to 2051. Spanish Bonds have recovered the fall of yesterday, the Three per Cents being now at 351, and the Five per Cents, at 24. The Bears have not taken much by their absurd reports of yesterday. Dutch Stock continues firm. Portuguese Converted Bonds have advanced to 5011. Mexican and Colombian Bonds were a fraction higher than yesterday. A considerable amount of business has been transacted this morning in the Railway Shares. With the excep tion of York and North Midland, the York, Scarborough, and Selby Scrip, the London and Brighton, the Man chester and Birmingham, &c., values have somewhat re ceded.

On either side of the German Ocean it will afford facilities for trade, since the introduction of the railway system will give such ready access to both ports ; and, among the advantages which it is said the mercantile world must receive, are those of economy of time and money, while the state duties, not even now popular am ong persons exporting merchandise from England to the continent, will also be avoided. The gentlemen who have taken up the matter appear to be eery sanguine of success .—C am b r id ge Ad ver ti ser .

GORDON ffibbiifg; We have to announce the demise of Sir Sarauel is, Hig gins, who expired at his residence in Chapel-street, Orosvnor-placel l at five o'clock on Monday morning. The deceased, wno was Seciaiid soli of Itcr: James Lewis Higgins, of Queen's County, Ireland, was born in 1775, and at an early ago entered the 18th Dragoons, and seri-ed liikh thaf rerarpettt in Jamaica and St. Domingo from 1795 to 1798. In the stieciaqiiYg lo.mr he served in the campaign in H o ll an d. O n qu itti ng tne itith Dra goons he entered the 3d Regiment, or Scots Fusilier Guards, and remained in that corps until 1825, when he obtained his eolonel‘iy; He retired from the army in the year ensuing. The deceased knight was for nearly thirty-five years equerry to his Royal Highness_tlr con ferred late Duke of Gloucester, at whose demise Williaml_y. the honour of knighthood on Colonel Higgins. Since die death of the Royal Duke Sir Samuel has filled the appointment of equerry, and till the appointment of the Hon. Captain Liddell, Comptroller of the Duchess of Gloucester's household. His commissions in the army were dated :is follow :—Ensign, 10th June, 1795 ; Lieutenant, 22d June, 1796 ; Captain, 24th January, 1801 ; Major, Ist November, 1804 ; Lieutenant-Colonel, 4th June, 1811 ; and Colonel, 27th May, 1825. Al though Sir Samuel had been suffering some weeks from indifferent health, yet it was not supposed he was in any think like a critical state, for on liVednesday last he was at the Birmingham Railway terminus, at Euston -square, to receive her Royal highness the Duchess of Glou cester on her return to town from visiting the Duke and Duchess of Bedford, at Woburn Abbey. BOULOGNE RAILROAD.—The shares of this railroad are at two pounds premium. This is no doubt occa sioned by - the certainty that now exists that, as only one Company has paid the deposit, and notified its inten tion of making a tender, the works will be rapidly exe cuted, for that Company are interested in its speedy execution, not only for the interest of Boulogne but `or that of Folk stone and the Dover railroad. We ma) therefore, feel certain that, as the tenders are to be made to-morrow, so soon as the Royal Ordonnance is published, the necessary steps will be taken to definitively survey the line; when this is laid down the proprietors will re ceive notice ; and so soots as compensation is agreed upon, the works will commence; this we should think will not be before next March, we have no doubt that fifteen months afterwards the line will be opened.— Boulogne Gazette of Monday. very i Pani v , then i korrc tivat, arts this his 11 repl: : B o ro 4. - eo INli R3i p of Tx A raai n a oti Pdrigi Jun e het Tt and 14 )13 ( ° f tl With yest( carci tors L'n 4 Lou,
