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 Mr. SMYTHA'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 tween literature and commerce," our perverse Con temporary, whom no one can please ; who, like Vol.- TAIRA'S Prococurante, looluOn everything with an eye of distrust and hopelessness ; and who appears to have reduced to system the Nil-Admirari principle of Hoes.cm—our wayward Contemporary, we say, im mediately bristles up, and thus replies to Mr. 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 DRIVEN, 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 neglec conferred, and still continues to confer, on Europe. Had Louts PHILIPPB, like LAFAYETTB, 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.

" I was never a favourite with Lords," says the philosoph er o f B o lt-C our t, i n Boa- WBLL'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 Buiiss, 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 rue, 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 unaff e cted p a tr o ns o f genius during the palmy days of Venice, but the enlightened merchant-princes of that magnificent trading city ? Who 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 ?

These and it was doubtful whether it would be concluded to night. hives of industry are in full operation, providing raiment, fancy dresses, and all the neces sary articles, too, of domestic life, for America, and India, and China, and, we may say, every habitable portion of the globe. We have this satisfaction in addition—while nations able to pay their debts skulk from their engagements like swindlers, England maintains her credit, her funds are higher than those of any other country, and she has a com mand of money surpassing that of all other States, The "merchants of old England" deserve every praise but their sons have falsified the proverb of the ancient poet, and surpassed their predecessors. 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 app ears i n it , on which we propose to make a few remarks whici, 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 th( FRENCH, when residing in this country, and now in the occupation of the Earl of Moa- 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 consparative 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 DUMOURIEZ, under whose auspices he made his first essay in arms, and 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 of many winters have sighed over their graves ; and LOUIS PAILLIFE now finds himself the chief actor in a totally new scene—conspicuous in an age which in some respects is the direct antipodes to that of his youth and man hood—surrounded by new men, and influencing a new 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 EMPEROR ; CHARLES the TENTH could risk a throne, but could not, no' 4-Z 4 VI „-, _ 411rIk' ' 45 ' 74 4,1010 • •*" 4/ aci li TTrw, c )11 .1 ) 4r • o • . •,z. -7 "" k ARP 'e SECOND EDITION. ,0, 1 I T _ruin 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 1,723,1631., and an increase on the quarter of 473,347/. 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, 5,6601. 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 4,204,855/., showing a decrease on the year of 2,9371., 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, 106,413/. ; 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 ROBSIIT 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 672,000/. The increase on the year is 82,000/., and on the quarter not less than 40,0001., a proof both of the increase of trade, and the successful working of the new system. The Miscellaneous exhibits a very small return, only 696,357/., 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 thi , year there has been very little, with the exception of the last quarter, and during that period there is an increase of 203,2171. 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 2,390,264/., the decrease 994,9151.; the increase on the quarter 739,225/., decrease 218,281/.; leaving a total increase on the year of 1,395,349/. and on the quart er un 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 Zoliverein 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 princes of the house of MEDICI ? It was not Italian aristocracy, but Italian commerce tb at protected and rewarded, and acknowledged the - social equality of genius. The former was too much engrossed with its own ambitious views—too much adt licted to war and bloodshed—to the acquisition of this town or city, and the destruction of the municipal pr ivileges 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 hs s bestowed, and has ever been too proud to acknowled ge 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 into llect ? 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. SMYTHE, therefore, ne - eer 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 be 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 corn XVIII and Charles X. are not f orgotten. 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 King of the French, figures himself amongst the men to whom those painful recollections are attached. The Queen of England would have done well to have chosen another gallery fcr 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 FLANDERS and HAMBURGH MAIL. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) BRUSSELS, OCT. B.—On the 7th of this month Mr. Thomas G. Cleurson had an 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. do 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 he 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 have been 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 more 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 and carried into effect. ALTENBURG, SEPT. 26.—Applications have been made here, and from Bavaria for 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. PETERSBURGIT, 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. Illynuncu, 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.—Haniburgh Papers, Oct. 8. BELGIAN FUND3.—Bstussime, OM 8.

Cen'- " " "We are not animated with a feeling of hatred to wards England, but we cannot help recollecting and re senting the repeated insults offered 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. lie 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 for 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 liegernan on the other side of the Channel ? A day will come when England will appreciate the value of French alli• ante ; 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 : " 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 gallies 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 The liberty of the press is suspended, and property confiscated. E n ti re provinces are pl ace d i n a state of siege, and even in places where there exists no pretext for such a measure. There is no security for individuals against th e goo d pleasure of the s a b re . 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 robbers, 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 wese as follows :—Messrs.

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, 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 self-interest, and tend to uplift Humanity to the highest point of elevation! We have published in another part of the paper an address from General ESPARTERO 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 ESPARTBRO'S supporters, hare 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. ESPARTERO 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.

DEEDED, 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 entitl e d hi m 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 rospect 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.—His claim was disal lowed. Not one of the Paris papers of Wednesday an nounces the arrival of Louis Friuli-I.E 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 to 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 vvilic4en declared for that Prince, that the Duke 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, GALISSONIERE BOW-STREET.—(TIIIS DAY.) John 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 shop 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 you 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 stage and play i n it. I t hi nk I c2 , n fill J ac k R eeve ' s 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 scaffolding near the Victoria Tower, fell therefrom with his right arm and side upon the teeth of a large stone saw. Tho poor fellow was immediately conveyed to the Westminster Hospital, where he remains in a dangerous state. would not have received in London, after their vic tory, the reception which DR GRAISE 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 THE BIRMINGHAM QUARTERLY MEETING OF THE SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE IRON-MASTERS.—BIRMINGHAM, Tit unSDAY.—To-day 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 pressat can be anticipated. I have reason to believe a good deal of importance was attached to the meeting of to-day. It was feared that prices could not, however, be maint a i ne d . They have, however, been upheld, an d I hope that the 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 tolerably brisk demand for iron, and the meeting on the whole was satisfactory. The steamer Antwerpen, [Captain Jackson, arrived at the St. Katharine's Wharf, Tower, yesterday morning after a passage of twenty hours, effected against wind and tide. The Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Carew, Count Bra now, Mr. and Mrs. Cholmley, Mr. Fonblanque, the Rev. Mr. Palmer, &c., were amongst the passengers. This packet got up to Antwerp on Monday morning last at eenth°recel°ck'thereby allowing the hours and a half to repose to starting by the ra il roa d. tp t h I e e s ms e e3 a ne r g l i y.e y er ss hour pfor rey Co le ossigeyny rent from those who complain at beholding the grand dignitaries of the Government and the Court of London coming to meet the cartige 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 FRANCIS, 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 !" 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, th© Duke of Wellington, and Prince Talleyrand.

Alphonso William Henry Rose, curate of Hyde, was brought before William Sidebottom, Esq. at the Town Hall, Glossop, on Saturday evening last, charged with an assault with intent, &c., on the person of a little girl, about ten years of age, named Martha Thorneley, of Gamesley. The assault was committed on the pre vious day. The father of the girl and another person had rescued the girl, and the father inflicted a severe beating on Mr. Rose. The evidence was clear, and it was the gainful duty of the magistrate to commit the prisoner for trial at the next Derby sessions.—Derby Reporter. CO RN - 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. ARRIVALS. Eaglish I Wheat. Earley. O a t s.

There was on sale in our market only a moderate supply of Beasts, the time of year considered, owing to which the Beef trade was comparatively steady, at about Monday's quotations. Of Foreign Beasts we had 70, and of Sheep 50 head offering, from Holland. The quality was, on the whole, fair. The arrivals from Scot land embraced 190 horned and polled Scots. The num bers of Sheep were small, yet the inquiry for that description of stock was inactive, at late rates. Although the supply of Calves was small, the Veal trade was heavy, at previous currencies. In Pigs rather more business was doing, and prices were well supported. Milch Cows sold slowly, at from 161 to 191 each, including their small Calves.

Had he lived it was his intention to ba proceeded to England by a steamer which leaves on ibe 27th instant. The intellectual powers of the late 3 ` r ; Boyd were of a s u p er i or or d er , an d h i s acqu i rer nen very extensive. He was well read, and intimately quainted with the political state of India ; and his 1a1 ° , 1 1 ,, ledge of th e h a bit s an d customs o f the natives gene ral so excellent, that he f requen tl y b roug h t i t to b ear al ftl such facility and effect, that it surpasses description. t o his public character ho was prompt and decisive ; whatever capacity he was serving the Governale il , whether as C o ll ec t or , Commissioner, Secretary, or II i f ° dent, he was beloved by all his inferiors, and the name 5 Boyd was never spoken of by them but with respect all admiration. In his private character he was frank, up. right, and full of honourable feeling ; generous, affablei and unostentatious, he was universally esteemed by who had the honour of his acquaintance. His raellw•i', will be held in veneration while Bombay is in existellest In him, we may most truly say, the Government hale I° bs atalented and consid erate protector, and society a brig and distinguished ornament."
