It is with feelings of no ordinary gratification that the Di rectors render to the Members of the NATION AL PROVI DENT INSTITUTION, this, their Eighth Annual Report, of its proceeding,a. Each perio.iical review of the progress of the Institution has afford e d abundant evidence of its growing prosperity, whilst the atatemeut which the Directors are enabled to publish on the 'present occasion, exhibits a result far exceeding their most san guine expectations. .

E SPECIAL JURY. Dux :ix, JAN. 4.—The process of striking the spools' jury iwoceeded with at 12 o'clock to-day in the Crown-office, which, with a very few exceptions, none were admitted but ,hose immediately interested. There were present, on the part of the Crown, Mr. Brewster, Queen's Counsel ; Mr. Smiley, and Mr. Kemmis, also Mr. Kemmis, the Crown solicitor; and, on the part of the traversers, Mr. Whiteside, Queen's Counsel; Mr. Close, Sir C. O'Loghlen (of counsel), and Messrs. Mahony, Ford, and Cantwell, attorneys. • A protest was in the first instance handed in on behalf of the traversers against the panel generally, upon the ground that the names of a number of persons properly qualified to serve as special jurors, including the names of 16 Roman Catholics, had not beer, placed upon it. The cards, which were numbered according the list, in all 717, having betn counted, were put into a box and shaken up, according to the terms of the 25th section of the ad and 4th WJlians IV. The business of shaking having been several times repeated, at the request of one of the agents for the traversers, the Clerk of the Crown, in conformity with the same section of the Act, proceeded to draw out 48 of the said numbers, and to check them with the numbers and names in the list. The first number was 59 and the name corresponding to it that of Mr. J. Behan, of Bridge-street, merchant; the next that of Mr. G. W. Boileau. of 87, Bride-street, druggist (a Conservative). Mr. WIIIIESI DE objected to his name being put upon the reduced list of 48, on the ground of nen-residence, upon which a discussion arose, — Mr. Bun axa denying that he had any option in the matter, or any power to decide that question, and contending that it was his duty merely to draw the numbers, those numbers eor reTonding with the heritrs list, over which he had of course no control. Mr. WritrzsinE, on the other hand, maintained that it was the officer's duty to receive proof of the objection now made, and to set aside that name if the proof were sufficient, and non-residence a disqualifying ground, which it certainly was by the terms of the Act. The Learned Gentleman, in support of his position, quoted the 25:h section, wherein it is stated, " That if at the time of reading any name either party or his attorney shall object that the man whose name shall have been so referred to is in any measure incapacitated from serv ing on the said juty, and shall also then and there prove the same to the satisfaction of the 'said 'officer, such name shall .he - set aside, and the said officer shall instead thereof draw oat o f the said box another number, and shall in like manner refer to the correspendiug number in the said list, &c." If a man were put down in the list as residing in Dublin, and that he really resided in Cork, he (Mr. Whiteside) wished to know if Mr. Bourne would feel himself authorised, un der that s ec ti on of the Act cf Parliament, to insert that man 's name on the re duced list of 48? Mr. Bon isNE was of opinitn that the question did not come properly before hinr at all, and that his duty was circum scribed, as he had already stated. . Mr. Bur w.:TER contended (for - Crivriz), I flit if the .ob jection were one which would have been sufficient to disqualify Mr. Boileau from nerving as a special juror, the place to have raised this question, and the only place it could properly have been raised, was before the Rceerder. He did not, at all events, agree with Mr. Whiteside's construction of the 25th section of the Act, the words of that section being, that the man must be " incapacitated," and not rnisdesenbed. The Learned Gentleman was, therefore, now calling upon the officer to revise the Recorder's decision. - Mr. Close contended that they bad had no earlier oppor tunity of making the present objection. Mr. 800 ENE—Yes, at the registry. Mr. CLOSE said, that there was no registry in the case of special jurors; that the Sheriff constituted the list ; that they (the traversers) had been no party to it; and that they could not have objected to it before, as no question was allowed to be raised before the Sheriff. He argued that the officer would nut be discharging his duty if he refused to take proof as to quali fication. No. 16,028. LONDON, MONDAY g JANTJAItY 8, 1844, PRICE sd.

As to the other trifling deficiencies, they can be all as easily explained, while they, whose business it i s t o fi n d f ault, will be somewhat at a loss to explain. away one shilling of the noble increase of' more than one million sterling, wholly exclusive of the property-tax.

In addition to the above conveniences, the Subscribers will 'Ave the use of an EXCELLENT LIBRARY on COMMER CIAL SUBJECTS. The Establishment will be conducted by the Proprietor, un der the superintendence of a Board of Subscribers. MONEY MARKET and CITY h' WS - - RIAY . TIMES.--At the Gener a l Court , o f the South EVENING Sea Com pany held to-day, the recommendation to make the transfer days of the stock and annuities the same as at the Bank, viz., Tuesday, Wednesday, Thuroday. and Friday, was adopted. The Sub-Governor stated, that a letter had been received from Sir James Graham in rep'y to the address voted at the last Court. The purport of it was, that he could not advise her Majesty to accept the office of Governor of the Company. The deficiency to be supplied for the half-year is 4,471/. 9s. Id. This must be paid by Government. The commercial summary of the Calcutta Englishman notices the great abundance of money as having led to in creased shipments of produce, and predicts that the indigo crop will prove the largest ever known in the country, the estimated quantity being 165,000 maunds for shipment, and that of a better quality than usual. The productive powers of the island of Java are attracting general attention, but the Calcutta journalist expects a trial of strength with that island. A re duction of the transit duties through the Bhaugulpore terri tories had been announced in 4 Government notification, and ris miotiarnierieiZM so much filth its importance, as be.. cause it was a proof that the Government was turning its atten tion to the removal of commercial obstacles. The steam-ship Hindostan, which left Calcutta on the morning of the 15th of November, had on board, according to the same summary, several parcels of silk, for transmission by the Over'and route. This, it is said, is the first instance of goods being sent to Eng land direct across the Isthmus of Suez; but the example is ex rectcd to be followed, the additional celerity of the voyage more than compensating for the extra freight of 151. per ton. There have also been shipments of rags to the London market, and this opens a trade which has hitherto been monopolised by the Italian States. Both the silk and the rags were shipped, it is said, by Mews. Aylmer and Co., of Calcutta. As the readers of the Calcutta Eilglishman, perceiving the indigo to be there estimated at 195,000, may think the esti mate has been misquoted here, they should be informed that, according to a letter from the editor of that journal, 165,000 is the right figure, and the other is a misprint. The letters from India of the Ist of December, via Mar seilles, were received in town to-day, having come from Alex andria to Malta on the 27th ult. by her Majesty's steamer Alecto. The remaining letters, via Southampton, are ex pected in London on or about Wednesday next, and in all pro bability the Alecto will bring them to Southampton, that vessel having been ordered by Admiral Sir E. Owen to be ready to start far England from Malta on the day after her arrival. MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS. MR.

After some further discussion nearly to the same effect, Mr. BourtNE refused to set aside the name, which was ac cordingly placed upon the list. The next name was that of Mr. B. L. Guiness, brewer, which was set aside on the objection that he was ono of the grand jury who found the bill. Mr. WurrEstnE remarking, that here the officer took evi dence of iucapacity, and refused it in the case of Mr. Boileau. On the name of Mr. J. Hamilton, of Chambers-street, ironmonger, being drawn, Mr. WHITESIDE said he could prove that there was no such person residing in Chambers-street. The officerhad already decided that a person having a house, although not residing in it, was sufficient to qualify him to serve as a special juror ; but here he (Mr. Whiteside) could show by evidence that there was no such person having a house in the street at all. Mr. BREWSTER objected to any such evidence. Mr. WncrEslDE referred again to the Act of Parliament to show that the officer ought not to put upon the list the name of any person in any decree incapacitated. Mr. BREWSTER.— Yes, incapacitated ; but there is no proof of that. From Mr. J. SMITH, Glasgow.

From this statement it ap pears that the specie in the Bank amounted to 247,230,050 f. ; the bills discounted, including the branch banks, to 98,845,4931.; the advances on b u lli on t o 3,197,800 f.; an d the loans on public securities to 5,733,766 f.

I have had the hdvice of several surgeons and medical men, both in this town and others, but without the least benefit, and I had dispaired of ever again regaining my health, in fact my life was becoming burdensome to me, until I fortunately heard of the many cures which your valuable Pills had effected. I purchased a box of Mr. Woodward, druggist, and before I had taken the whole I was completely cured, and have never experienced the slightest symptoms of its return. I have recommended them, and shall do so, as I feel I cannot do sufficient for the benefit I have received.—l am, Gentlemen, your obliged and grateiul servant, " HENRY NASH.

This relic has been sold with other old wood. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAI . Y.P.3 OF SATURDAY. GLOBE. —" Open your mouth—shut your .eyes—and see what Peel will send you !" Such was, in effect, urged upon the country, in divers forms, as no more than was due to the newly-in stalled Premier; who asked for " time" to prepare his measures, and then put forth the same plea, that his measures might also have time to work the promised good. The !lobe mooches complied with the Premier's request: they devoutly shut their eyes to consequences —opened their mouths wide .with expectation—and had the income-tax popped in as the produce of Peel's financial skill; while the new tariff, shadow of good things to come—the substance of which was never to be realised— completed the amount of the Premier's benefits to the country. In his much-lauded finan cial exposition, upon the introduction of his first budget, the Right Honourable Baronet founded his claim to public confidence on the estimates and working of the grand scheme for restoring the national revenue. The result has proved that no failure was ever more signal than has attended the Minister's scheme of finance; because no estimates were ever more erroneous than those on which that scheme was founded. Sir Robert Peel's grand expedient for meeting the deficiency in the .national taxation, and for restoring the revenue to health and efficiency, ha., now been in opera tion two years. The country is familiar with, its — results. - The several sources of reventie, with the increase or decrease, as the case may be, on the year and quarter, are thus supplied; and, as these returns are published by the Govern ment, they constitute satisfactory data by which the financial condition of the country may be arrived at, and a correct judgment be formed of the system of taxation to which the Govern ment has subjected the nation. The increased receipts from the Excise for the quarter amount only to 8,7631. The Post-office shows an improvement 0H2,,000/.; but the deficiency of the latter on the year is 13,0001. This defi ciency is, however, attributed to items • being now charged under this, which were formerly placed to another account. It is thus seen that the increase upon the legitimate sources of reve nue is trifling.-- Any improvement in those items which indicate the condition of the labouring classes is, we admit, a subject of congratulation - An improvement in the Excise on the year 0f387,000/. is, therefore, to be taken as proof, to that extent, of an increased ability in the consuming classes of taxed articles to procure a larger quantity of the necessaries and comforts of life than, for a considerable period, they had been able to ob tain. Still, when the state of depression and suf fering, of which the labouring classes had been long the subjects, is considered, the improvement in trade, and increased means of procuring more than mere food, and that of the coarsest kind, is but trifling. The decrease in Stamps evinces an apathy in commerce. The diminished receipts from the Assessed Taxes show that if the income tax enriches the Exchequer in one department, it induces the individual who is subjected to its odious operation to curtail his expenses in other respects. Reduced domestic establishments, among the more opulent classes of society, and houses exchanged for tenements oflower ren ts an d rates, with inability to pay the assessments on even these, explain the continued decrease upon the Assessed Taxes. To the income-tax, therefore, the boasted improvement in the state of the na tional exchequer must be principally assigned. Even that improvement is the result of the great statesman's erroneous estimates of the amount it would produce —errors which cut away the bases of his calculations as to the per cent age to be imposed, and the number of years during which the tax was to be in operation. The head of Miscellaneous includes,if it does not al toge thercomprise, alarge remittance under the treaty with China—an item which, though it has largely aided the Exchequer, was not so much as hinted at in Sir Robert Peel's grand financial exposi tion. The same may be remarked of " Corn," the duties on which—though they have assisted the revenue to the extent of Y,300,000/.—were a god-send to the Minister, though a fiscal curse to the community. We have gone more largely an d elaborately into the revenue returns than we have been wont to do on former occa sions. The notes of preparation sounded by the Standard, to prepare the public for Sir Robert Peel's grand financial triumph, have prompted, if not provoked, the .. analy s i s ; w hi c h , we think, will exhibit the great political luminary somewhat 'shorn of his beams. STAN DARD.—It has lately been our pleasing duty to !present to the public a rich array of proofs of the pi osperous advance made by the . empire within the last t wo years, t h e ef f ect of a prudent and patriotic administration of the Government. Peace conquered _and confirmed—the British territories profitably augmented—manufactures and commerce re f.tored-.-botindles • fields opened ‘. to their .enterpriSe-and' - the . 'value of.- British public obligations enhanced -10 per cent. To-day we complete th e grat if y i ng work, by announcing an improvement in the revenue wholly without example under any circumstances approaching to similarity. The readers of the Standard were prepared, by our brief and general, but accurate, announcement of last night, for a large increase in the public contribu tions of 1843, beyond those of the pre ceding year ; in our present number we lay the figures in detail before them. In the tables inserted in our first page they will sec an increase, a large increase, in every branch of re venue which can by any construction be treated as an index to the state of the mass of the people, with reference to their enjoyments or to their active industry. The year's increase on the Excise amounts to no less than 387,5031., and the total increase of all sources of revenue, deducting decrease upon those heads of taxation which are proofs ofdistress, not of prosperity—'such as the corn duties and the stamp duties —amounts, exclusive of the pro perty-tax, to 1 , 0 63,9741.—m0re than one mil lion sterling. Including the property-tax, the increase would be 5 ,742,0781., and as respects the • resources of the Exchequer, its abi lity to m ee t t h e demands of the public' ser vice, as respects, too, the general ability of the na tion, this increase of nearly s i x m il l i ons sterling is, questionless, a bona fide increase. But this is not the light in which we wish to have the returns looked to at present; we would direct attention to them as evidence of the national progress, not as evidence of the national strength, of which, indeed, there was never any rational doubt. Let us then take the property-tax from both years, because it was collected during a part only of 1842, and we shall have a compa ,ative view to which no exception can be taken, viz..- 1 842.-44,339,8651., minus .571,016/. property tax £43,751,809 1843.-50,071,9134., minus 5,:149,260/. pro perty-tax Increase on the year, exclusive of property tax - - Thus, exclusive of the property-tax; nay, despite of its reflex operation, which the oppo nents of the measure threatened to be so injuri ous to other sources of revenue—exclusive of the property-tax, and, in spite of all the mischief it was to do—the ordinary sources of revenue are more productive in 1843 than they were in 1842, by one million sterling and upwards. Even this, however, is an inadequate view of the national progress. On the face of the returns before us, there appears we must admit a decrease, though a trifling one, in the Customs of . last year. From the statement it is seen that the great excess of revenue in 1842 arises upon the October quarter of that year—an excess, altogether attribut.►ble to the prodigious mass of foreign corn imported or taken out of' bond at the Bs. duty in the mon►_hs of August and Sep tember, rated, if we mistake not, at three mil lions of quarters. Such revenue is an index of loss and not of gain, as for every shilling gained by the Exchequer the former must have lost at least three, and lost the money never to return to this country. Upon the same prin ciple upon which, in order to arrive at a fair comparative view of the revenue of the two years, we have struck out the property-tax for both years, we ought to strike out the corn duties, which made up so large a part of last year's revenue, and have produced little or .nothing in the present year. If we had the figures enabling us to do this, there is no reason to doubt that the actual increase of the ordinary fixed sources of revenue, instead of resting, happily high, as it doer above DISTRICTS.

The discrepancy between the number of Mr. Fallon's resi dence in the Sheriff's list and that given in the above de scription having been noticed by Mr. Whiteside, and ad mitted to be fatal by Mr. Brews'er, the name was inserted on the list, the objection on the part of the Clown, of course, falling to the ground, as far as the officer's devisiun was con cerned.

Croker, wholesale merchant. . _ Several of the above were objected to on the ground of non-residence in their respective places of business, and out of the reduced list of 48, 11 were Repealers. To-morrow the list will be further reduced to 24 names, the Crown and the traversers having, by the statute, the privilege of striking off 12 names each, leaving 24 on the panel, from which the jury who are to try the parties are to be selected. " ATTENIP'T TO SWAMP THE JURY PANEL." Such is the heading under which the Freeman of this morn ing ushers before its readers the narrative of an attempt to swamp, by a discreditable ruse, the panel from which is to be selected a jury to try the State traverser,. If this statement be well founded—and unfortunately there is reason to believe that it is not altogether groundless—it can only be said that the silly authors of the ruse have very much mistaken its probable effects. Subjoined is a portion of the article alluded to. The imputation that the scheme was in any degree by the conni vance of persons in office is, of course, absurd:— " On the evening of Tuesday last a number of busy emissa ries from the 'Tory party, and we believe most firmly that they were instructed by the Irish Government or by some of its subordinates, went about the city in the twilight, for the pur pose of entrapping credulous Liberals, and thus endeavour ing to serve the purposes of the Government, by excluding them from the special panel. The paper, which was carried round for signature, purported to be a requisition to the Lord Mayor, calling upon him to convene a meeting of the citizens, to enter their protest against the approach ing State trials as illegal. The paper on which the sig natures were written had a fabricated similarity to that used by the Corn Exchange. The written portion, purport ing to set forth the objects of the suggested meeting, was a very good imitation of the manuscript of some of the employes of the Repeal Association, and the creatures who hawked it round were very free in their use of the names.of influential parties among the Repealers, as a means of lulling suspicion, and of more successfully accomplishing their infa mous ends. They asked for signatures in the name of the As sociation. Those parties avowed that they were engaged and paid for that special purpose, and it is known that disreputable parties have been otherwise employed too. It has been freely asserted by the party, who manifest inexpressible anxiety for a conviction, that every Catholic on the balloted list of special jurors would be objected to, and that thus a conviction would be secured. Ail the gentlemen who were applied to for signa tures were of known liberal sentiments, and:mostly of the Ca tholic persuasion. And now let us explain how this piece of impudent chicanery was hoped to be made available, in further ance of the objects of those whose fortunes are bound up in the prosecutions, and whose official and political existence depend upon a conviction of the " conspirators." Every man on the special jury may be objected to, for cause, who is known to have expressed any decided opinion upon the policy or legality of the State trials; but eve r y man w h o h as b een entrappe d into signing this paper has, of course, pledged himself that the indictment is impolitic and unjust. The presumed effect, therefore, of this act of shameful chicane is to render those who have signed the paper ineligible to serve as special jurors. See, then, the depth of this baseness. Catholics dare not be objected to because they are Catholics, but this surreptitious requisition to the Lord Mayor may be made as an engine quite effective for that end, and yet the brazen front of impartiality may not be lowered. Liberal Protestants, too, may be sum marily objected to on the same account." THE LEAGUE FUND.--MEETING AT BURT.--A free whichra w d a e s m at e t e e t n in d g e d w br as m , a o n n y T o h f u t r h s e da m y o e s v t e i n n i t n iu g, held entiaige a n t o ß ein ur e y, n of the locality, including Mr. Walker, M.P. for the borough. Mr. Bright and Colonel Thompson attended as a deputation from the League. After able addresses from Mr. Walker, Colonel Thompson, and Mr. Bright, resolutions in favour of the League were passed by acclamation. An active subscrip tion was then entered into, and it was announced that upwards of 1,120/. had been contributed by Bury. A shelf, about six inches from the shop window of Mr. J. C. Akester, chemist, &c., St. James's-street, Hull, has been burnt in to the depth of a quarter of an inch at least. This has been occasioned, no doubt, by the rays of the she impinging and thenceonengupoe passing o.ftina through the ltargeughlobu to lar the sh shelf t g window, lianssgesueinstiothne.
