GREAT FOOT RACE. Notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather :upwards of four thousand persons assembled yesterday t Gannick Corner (about a mile and a half beyond Bar n-t), to witnese the great foot race between Jackson, ti a American Deer, and Sheppard, of Birmingham, which ,s excited so much interest in tha sporting circles dur ing the past fortnight. Both these men have, in a num ber of contests, exhibited the most extraordinary sp eed, and in a race between them only a few days ago sur passed anything ever known in the annals of pedes trianism. On that occasion Jackson, who was the win ner, after a most spirited run, performed upwards of eleven miles in an hour, a task hitherto unprecedented, and which surpasses the great American's trial of speed which has deservedly been the subject of much talk. The exceeding closeness of the race between Jackson and,Sheppard, until the latter fell at the conclusion of the tenth mile, with the extraordinary game displayed by both, was the theme of conversation amongst some gentlemen shortly after the struggle, and a match was madefor 50f. a-side, and the money deposited in the hands of Owen Swift at once for a five-mile race. Both men had been in very active training, and shortly after two o'clock made their appearance on the ground, and exhibited first-rate condition and great confidence. Betting was 6 to 4 on Sheppard, and a great deal of money was laid out at that price. Preliminaries having been adjusted, the men went to the starting-place near Frank Key's, to run one mile out and return (the dis tance being measured towards London). Jackson had the lead, which he maintained until nearly the whole of the distance had been accomplished, his opponent mak ing upon him the whole of the way, and being but a few yards behind him. The speed throughout the race was most extraordinary ; the first two miles were performed in 10 min. 10 sec.. and the four miles under 21 min. In going up to the fifth mile the men appeared to increase their speed, and Sheppard, whose style is the most ex traordinary and beautiful ever seen, ran right up to his opponent, and they were together for about fifty yards, when Sheppard, almost within sight of the distance post, gradually went in advance, and won by about four yards, accomplishing the five miles in 25 mm. 45 sec. It was admitted to be the finest race ever witnessed. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY. CHESTER CUP. 14 to 1 agst Mr. Jaques's Semiseria—takea 18 to 1 agst Mr. W.

'MEDICAL REFORM.—Last night a meeting t. f mem. hers of the medical profession took place in the Com mittee-room of the General Medical Protection Assem My, at Exeter Hall, for the purpose, among other things, of considering a motion, of which Mr. Wakley gave no tice at the last meeting of the assembly, for the adoption ef a petition to the Queen, praying that her Majesty would not sanction any alteration in the existing charter of the College of Surgeons, until the members of the col lege, amounting to upwards of 10,000 persons, had an opportunity of stating their grievances, and what they felt to be their incorporated rights, before her Majesty's Privy CotlnciL The Hon. Gentleman said he thought there would be this advantage in taking the course he proposed—that it would be impossible for a Minister of the Crown, after learning from them how the Crown had been deceived in the grant of the last charter to the College of Surgeons by the representations of the, members of the Council, to listen to them again. The members of the college had not been con suitedbutthe on the last occasion of granting the charter, Crown had b e e n deceived by a majority of twenty-one of the Council, although it was stated in the charter that the constitution ution of the body had been altered on the representation of the members. That was an immoral fraud ; and, after having been thus trea• eherously betrayed by that b the profession would be simpletons to trust them 3 3. * Gentle man then proceeded to urge The Hon. strongly agaui the importance of union, pointing out the advantage disunion gave their enemies, who would have this oious answer to give when asked for reform—that the profession . were not agreed among themselves on w T ha h t e c o enditions prin inpthweeor ° against them prin ciples they would be governed, trhnment— was immense; they had an enemy they had an enemy in Parliament ; and if ve enemies to their own interests, and remained disunited, nothing nothing but defeat and discomfiture, and dis be their lot. Mr. Cooper seconded the mg e, iaocn would which was carried unanimously, and a Committee having been appointed to prepare the petition, the meeting separated.

Fr it E SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 28 1i445. litr bition to his expulsion from Otaheite, as a concession on the part of our Government to that of France; and he claims this removal as a disavowal of Mr. Pritchard, on the part of England, which counterbalance s the concessions made by France in slightly disavowing D'Aubigny. Now, Lord Aberdeen has alma) s represented the appointment of Mr. Pritchard as Consul to the Navigators' Islands as a promotion which that gentleman deserved for his past valuable services. Which is the correct version ? We cannot help thinking that M. Guizot has truth on his side. When the expulsion of Mr. Pritchard became known in England, the first thing Lord Aber deen did was to , demand that Mr. Pritchard should be restored to his position. This would scarcely have been the case had Mr Pritchard been pre viously promoted to a better place; but the fact is, that M. Guizot knew the people he had to deal with, and repudiated the idea so peremptorily, that Lord Aberdeen never dared afterwards to hint at such a matter. We trust that this part of M. Guizot's state ment a ill not be lost upon the people of England. Mr. Pritchard was disavowed, and removed from Otaheite on the demand of France, and as a concession to that country." This paragraph has been written solely for the purpose of introducing the sentence— " Lord Aberdeen has always represented the appoint ment of Mr. Pritchard as consul to the Navigators' Mantis as a promotion which that gentleman deserved for his past valuable service." This was written for Paris, not for London, and we are sorry to be obliged to say that it is not true in the sense in which it is intended to be taken, or, as we believe, in any sense. We have never heard that Lord Aber , deen gave any reason for admitting Mr. Pritchard to the consulate of Navigators' Islands, and we are pretty sure that his Lordship's only reason was that Mr. Pritchard probably asked for what scarcely any other man at all competent to the duties of a consul would accept. If, however, any acknowledgment of Mr. Pritchard's services have been made to him or his friends, the services referred to must be anterior to the French occupation of Tahiti, and of course mere routine services ; for upon the French occupation Mr. Pritchard ceased, by his own act, to be in the service of the Bri tish Crown. But there is an alleged inconsistency in acquiescing in Mr. Pritchard's removal from Otaheite, in compliance with the wishes of France (rather say in submission to international law), and in rewarding his past valuable services by a new appointment. We can not see the inconsistency. Mr. Pritchard may be a very good mall, and yet (without any disposition on his part to do wrong) a very dangerous man to the French interests in Otaheite. The French nation themselves exclude by law from France the family of the man whose memory they idolise, though no doubt many members of that family are very quiet and estimable per sons. In the same way our fathers and grandfathers of the last century interdicted the British soil to the innocent descendants of its ancient monarchs. Such proscription attaches no stain—expresses no ill opinion —it is merely a measure of precaution. The Morning Chronicle itself has told us that for years Mr. Pritchard exercised the virtual sovereignty of Ota heite ;, if, therefore, the French Government is justified, as we apprehend it is by the public law of Europe, in taking possession of Otaheite, it has the same motive and the same right to exclude Mr. Pritchard from Otaheite that the French people have to exclude the Bonapartes from France, or that the British nation had to exclude the most unoffending of the Stuarts from England. This, however, is no reason why Mr. Pritchard's services as a consul. should not be con , sidered by the Government that he served, and the more anxiously considered because of his necessary deprivation. at 23 - 3, good 20s Gd to 21: 6d, mid '2os, washed 20s Gd to 235, repacked from loose in ships hold 16s p r cwt: by private contract there was little done in any kind of Foreign Sugar. but holders remain firm. COP FEE.-Although there arc sellers of West India uiell rather lower terms, still buyers have purchased with much cs.ution, and of the various parcels offered at public sale a very small part only found buyers ; Ber bice, middling went at 81 s to 88 s , low mddling 70s to 755, fine fine ordinary 63s to 6fis, fine ordinary 54s to 58s, good ordinary 51s to 535, low ordinary 40s to 48s ; Jamaica low middling unclean 70s, fine fine ordinary . 6os to 635, and good ordi nary 51s to 52s per cwt. Jamaica is still in short supply, but common sorts are abundant; the consumption of West India Coffee is still interfered with by Ceylon, which is cheap and plentiful, the liquor of which is good and the Coffee roasting well. There has been a large supply of East India Coffee at market, adapted for the wants of the horse trade, and a decline in value has oc curred. With Mocha the market has been abundantly sup plied, and a decline in the value of 2s per cwt has oc curred. Ceylon of native description is not much in request as present ; and the market having been freely supplied, previous rates are barely supported. Java is held for the former value, and a fair amount of business has been transacted privately. Common East India Coffee has met a ith increased attention privately, but prices do net improve, although the market is spazingly supplied. For Foreign Coffee there are few orders at present, but •holders of Brazil and tit. Domingo will not sell bat at full rates, and common sorts are held for 27s 6d to 28s 6d. This afternoon there was no public sale of any kind of Coffee, and the limited transactions privately were extremely limited; 51s per cwt is the nearest value of good ordinary Ceylon. The stock is very large of all sorts of Coffee adapted for home consumption. TEA.-Mrchants are firm, and with black and green Tea the market is not over supplied. Congou has brought fully former rates, and a brisker demand has been experienced ; common sound has been selling at lld to I lid, and good common 'lid to is per lb; there is a scarcity of Tea worth from is 4d to Is 9d per lb. For Pouchong there has been a lively demand, and the rates paid show an advance of Id to 2d per lb. Fine scented Orange Pekoe brought an advance on former rates of ld to 2d per lb. In Twankay a fair business has been transacted, yellow leaf is 3d to is 3id per lb. Hyson is held with firm ness, but there is a pause in the demand, common is not to be purchased under 2s 6d per lb, the supply is small of all descriptions. Previous rates are fully supported for Gunpowder and Imperial. Young Ilyson is wanted at former terms, but for Flowery Pekoe prices rule mode rate, and the same remark is applicable to Hyson skin. To-day there was a good business transacted in nearly every kind of black and green Tea ; the tendency of prices is upwards. Sales of common Congou were made at lld to good common llid to Is, and Twankay ordinsry is 3d to is 31d per lb. SPICES.-This afternoon Pimento was in limited re quest, and 781 bags at public sale went la per lb under former rates, viz. at 344 to 3-1-,d, and ,inferior 2i -d to 3d per lb. Run, BRANDY, AND HOLLAFDS.-Jamaica Rum is not to be purchased at any further decline in prices, but the demand has been limited for home use and export, 28 to 33 per cent over proof, is held for 3s 5d to 3s 9d; 34 to 36 per cent over, good 3s 10d to 4s 2d; fine 4s 4d to 5s 6d; and high flavoured sorts suitable for the German and American market Gs to 7s per gallon, of these the supply is scanty. Leewards are not much wanted, and 2s 21d . to 2s 3d are the latest rates taken for proof, some parcels are offering for sale. Calcutta is dull of sale at 2s to 2s ld proof with certificate. The home and ex port demand has been limited for Demerara, strong de scriptions are 3s to 3s 3d per gal. The stock of Runs has been further increased. Brandy has fully sus tained the former value, and there has been a lively demand, especially . , for the better de scriptions. The stock is diminishing, prices are firm and rule as follows :-Cegnac, Lest brands of the yin • tage cif 1838, hhds 5s 3d, puns 5s Id ; 1839, hhds ss, puns, 4s 10d ; 1840, hhds ss, puns 4s 10d ; 1841, hhds ' 4s lid, puns 4s 9d ; 1842, hhds 4s Bd, puns 4a 6d ; 1843, bhds 4s 6d, puns 4s 4d, common 2s 8d to 2s 11d, mid to good mid 3s to 3s to 4s, and Bordeaux 2s 6d to 2s 9d per gallon ; indeed, upon these terms, some holders will not sell. The stock of Geneva here beimg small, buyers are compelled to pay is 10d to is 101er for shipping sort, and 2s 4d to 3s 6d for fine fit for duty, but for arrival there are sellers of the former at is 9d to is 9id per gallon, and large parcels are shortly ex pected.

SUN OFFICE, &yen o'Coc% AUSTRALIAN AGRICULTURAL COMPANY.-(THIS DAY.) 1 The annual meeting of this Company was held this day at one o'clock, at the King's Arms-yard. Mr. BRowNRIGG, the Chairman of the Board of Direc tors, said that he would not delay the meeting by making any prefatory observations, but would in the first in stance read the report, and would then be happy to give any explanation that any Proprietor might require, and which it was in his power to give. The report was then read, from which it appeared that there were grounds to hope for returning prosperity, and that the colony was emerging from the extreme state of depression under which it had been lately suffering. The report then went on to state the circum stances of the Company with regard to their stock of various kinds in the colony. The CHAIRMAN then said that there was a surplus of 5,5821. after the expenses were paid, which had during the last year been considerably diminished, and from this, and the small surplus which remained last year, it was proposed to declare a dividend of 155., or 21 per cent., on the paid-up capital, which would be paid on Wednesday, the sth of February next. The dividend was declared, and the report adopted. It was then proposed and seconded, that R. W. Blaine, Esq., be appointed Deputy-Governor in the room of W. Brown, Esq., deceased. John Lock, Esq., W. S. Dawson, Esq., and J. Hodgson, Esq., the outgoing Directors, were re-elected. G. W. Thornton, Barclay, Esq., Knox, Esq., and Abel Smith, Esq., were appointed auditors.

FRO3I THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAL GLOBE.—To indulge in predictions as to the pro bable tone and character of the policy which will cha racterise the legislation of the coming session, is hardly a profitable task. Events often falsify the expectations of Ministers and Oppositions, and baffle the best con cocted schemes of party. One thing, however, is tan gible and certain ; viz., that prospective legislation must have some reference to that which has preceded it. If firm and consistent, like an additional story to a well constructed edifice, it rests on the basis of its immediate predecessor : if vacillating , and feeble, it is employed in palliating the emissions and failures, or controlling the undue bias—often by an equally eccentric course, in an opposite direction—of the preceding year. Let us recur, then, for a brief space, to what was done in the session of 1844. The tone of our Contemporaries, when accounts of things " done and undone" came to be made up in August last, was by no means cheering to Sir Robert Peel. With a large majority, so often the theme of triumph to his party, he was justly considered responsible for the small amount of useful legislation that had marked a session of upwards of six months duration. It is true that a thorough going supporter of the Cabinet exhibited a list of nineteen benefits conferred on the country as the " re sults of the Session"—beginning with the reduction of the Three-and-a-Half per Cents., and terminating with some regulations of the Colonial Post-office, and " many useful Committees." The public was not, however, adequately grateful for the paternal anxiety cif Ministers, and the midnight toils of Parliament, fur its welfare. Notwithstanding the nineteen legislative blessings which Parliament, under the guidance of Sir Robert Peel, had munificently showered upon it, the nation was not generally impressed with a due sense of gratitude. Perversely, enough, it took to recollecting and numbering up a considerable array of really im portant measures, which were either abandoned, or con signed to the chances which might regulate and control the legislative course of another year. One considera tion . that occurs, then, is, Will the forthcoming session, in this respect, be the supplement of the last ? A leading journal of the Conservative party, toward the close of the session, gave a formidable list of the omissions and mistakes by which it had been charac terised ; and remarked, "It gets more and more the instincts of the millionaire, the policy of the soldier and the method of the policeman." For our selves, though little disposed to concur in the general policy of the Government —which we should rejoice to see displaced, and supplied by a better one—there were some of its measures which we approved, and lent our support to their authors, against the op position of many of their professed friends—the Dis senters' Chapels and the Charitable Bequests Bills, as recognitions of religious toleration ; and the Budget, of the policy of clearing away cumbrous and unprofitable branches of petty taxation. Will the latter be further carried out in the forthcoming session ; and proceed from flint glass and vinegar to windows, soap, paper, and cotton-wool ?On the answers to these questions will depend the character to be given by history to the legis lation of 1845. Neither are wo disposed to cast on the Minister all the blame of delay and procrastination of important measures ; for, though a considerable portion of this blame is, doubtless, assignable to the lack of de cision and consistency which characterises his adminis tration, much of it is to be attributed to the prolixity with which the debates are conducted. On this count full two thirds of the speakers are pal Skips eraninis. The cor rection of this growing evil must be left to the good sense and tact of the Members themselves. Undoubt edly, the debates of twenty years back—allowing that a less number of topics of interest were then handled—had a superiority in this respect. Many of the Parliamentary orators of the present day seem to fear that some thing will be left unsaid, fur which a future oppor tunity may not arrive. Hence, the introduction of irrelevant topics, and repetition of more opposite ones, inevitable in all mixed debate, becomes doubly frequent in the House of Commons, to the great detriment of the stores of information and high -oratorical talent, which in the course of a lengthened debate are thus lost. Are we anticipating too much in hoping that in this re spect the forthcoming session will be honourably distin guished from the past? This evil—of which there is now a general and loud complaint—would be remedied, if speakers would more generally recognise the principle, concerning which we believe there is theoretically no cavil, that a little reserve heightens the effect of what is said—as a well-skilled rider gives his horse a timely check to bring him well through a tract of heavy ground. Not to indulge in tedious retrospection, we think the Session of 1844—especially as controlled by the Minister and his majority—was characterised by the absence of plan and conduct. Much energy was wasted on mea sures of doubtful or negative utility ; much was left in arrear for others of minor moment. The Qui tam Actions Bill exemplified the first—the Ecclesiastical Courts Bill the second—of these faults. The former, a measure to legalise a species of gambling patronised by the influential and wealthy classes, was guarded and guided, with unwearied vigilance by the Ministry ; the latter measures —involving, to say the least, very im portant principles—were languidly pursued, and dropped, or turned over to the incertitudes of the future ! It is, then, with a feeling entirely distinct from that of fac tion, or even of party, that we trust the ensuing session will be marked by a juster calculation of the relative importance of measures, and the energy ne cessary for their completion, than was the last. Least of all was the last Ministerial campaign, as respects Ireland, satisfactory to its supporters here, or in the sister island. It embodied a policy of great pre tension and of occasional energy—which were, again, badly calculated, both as respects time and place, for its execution ; resulting, if not in au absolute negation, at least in very insignificant and prospec tive results. Lord Devon's Commission, to wit. The last legislative Act of the session reversed the sentence against the repeal leaders, on the justice and legality of which Ministers had taken their stand. If the agi tation for repeal has subsided, it remains to be shown that it would not have done so under a different and less irritating policy. It remains to be seen what arrears of legislative inaction, or misdirected policy, in that vast and troubled community, will be brought up in the session of 1845. Foreign policy, as usual, occupied a very small share in the debates of the last session; the convenient topic " Injury to the public interests," being ever at hand to stop the mouth of an inquisitive Member who moved for papers. A few discussions, however, did arise on motions of indivi..ual Members, end some of these were curious enough. If the sentiments of the British Parliament were to be sought for in the reports of its debates, it might be inferred that we were, nationally, great admirers of Don Carlos, and were prodigiously in awe of foreign admirals and governors in distant regions. We fear the most striking point, on a general review of the session of 1844, is the ludicrous dispro portion between the promises of its commencement and the performances at its close—the contrast between the programme and the performance, incidental, in some degree, to all human affairs ; yet, in many points, remediable by a little care and attention. We must not omit all mention of the Opposition. With a due remembrance of the powerful talent and high principle frequently displayed in its ranks, we hope to see their attention concentrated, and their energies engaged, in a few cardinal points of general po licy. The lightening of taxation ; the public reief from the landlords monopoly in food ; and the government of our colonies _involving, as that does, so many subsidiary questions—are subjects worthy of their position in the Legislature, and of vital interest to the country. The past is full of lessons for the future ; and the state of the nation is critical enough to make it desirable not to lose time in endeavouring to bring them before the Legisla ture, so as to compel attention to their bearing on the essential interests of the people. STANDARD. —The organs of the Thiers-Palmer ston coalition are placed in a situation of some difficulty. The greater share of the difficulty falls to the English organs ; for as the French opposition journals have a modest consciousness of the utter contempt in which, one and all, they are held in this country, they are under no temptation to try to practise on the minds of the English people ; and, therefore, they may, without distracting themselves, pour one con sistent stream of abuse upon their own government. It is not so with the English organs of M. Thiers and Lord Palmerston ; the railing at the British Government, though a natural enough indulgence of ill-will, is chiefly designed to give colour to the hints that are hoped to produce a mischievous effect in France. If the journals to which we refer had, like the Times , acquired by experience the happy facility of saying one thing one day and another the next, the task of meconciling complaints of de grading English concessions, with hints of degrading French concessions in the same paragraph, would be spared to them. Fortunately, however, there is in the world but one Times, and the Palmenton and Thiers journals are driven to such shifts as the following " We have only time at present to draw attention to the extraordinary declaration made by M.

SUGAR.—To-day the market for West India Sugar presented a flat appearance, the demand was limited for the scale and pan, good and fine yellow, of which there is still a scarcity, fetched the former value, but for all other sorts the rates taken were rather under those previously quoted. The total purchases are 300 hhds, and including a public sale of 114 hhds of Barbadoes which went off at former prices for good to fine, but middling and low must again be quoted Gd per cwt cheaper ; low sold at 52s to 53s 6d, middling 543 to 575 6d, good middling 58s 6d to 59a Gd, good 60s to 61s 6d, and line 66s per cwt.

Bonded Crushed Sugar is selling fur forward delivery at 30s to 30 s Gd p er c wt , it is not so much wanted as it was. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon at public sale two par cels amounting to 1,845 bags, were brought forward, and sold at a decline on foru.er rates of is per cwt, middling yellow went at 52s to 545, low 50s to sls 6J, low brown 42s to 42s Gd. middling 43s 6d to 45s 6d per cwt.

ClNNAstow.—The extensive public sales, which com menced yesterday, were brought to a conclusion at a late hour this afternoon ; the demand was very li mited throughout, although there was an evident desire on the part of merchants to realise ; the biddings were unusually languid, and of the total quantity of fered, amounting to 3,524 bales 305 cases, not above a third part were actually disposed of, at prices showing a decline on those of the last quarterly sales of 4d to 7d for firsts, 4d to 5d for secon ds, and 3d to 4d f„r thirds.

STRANGE RAILWAY ACCIDENT.-011 TliursdaY morning, when the three-quarter past eight o'clock train from Gateshead arrived near .to the Fence House station, a commercial traveller, proceeding to Stockton in a first class carriage (from whom we derive our information) was roused from his sleep by an unaccountable " crash, crash, crash!" and knew not what to think, but was in clined to the supposition that the train was falling from a precipice, and that he and his fellow-pasengers must inevitably be dashed to pieces. It was not quite so bad, however, but bad enough. One or more rails had sprung up, and entered the train. A gentleman's leg was grazed by the ugly weapon, and narrowly escaped more serious injury. Two passengers were forced against the win dows of a first-class carriage, and had their faces cut. The engineman, being thrown violently on his chest, became insensible from the shuck, and was grievously hurt. We have not heard that any other personal in juries were sustained. A gentleman, passing on horse back at the time, rode off for medical assistance, which was promptly on the spot. The Stockton passengers did not reach their destination until half-past one o'clock. — [On Wednesday a plate-layer was run over by a train, and killed.]— Gateshead Observer. HEARTLESS CONDUCT OF A SWEDISH CAPTAIN. — On Tuesday morning, as the crew of a Deal boat called the Princess Royal, were off the South Foreland, they observed a brig, which, from certain evolutions, they were led to conclude had a pilot to land. Impressed with this belief, they proceeded to the vessel, and on nearing her, the captain, to their asto nishment, called out that he bad lost a boy overboard, at the same time pointing to windward. The conduct of the captain appeared so thoroughly heartless, - and unfeeling, that the boatmen bitterly exclaimed against it in no very uumeassured terms, asking him why he bad not hove to, and lowered his boat, particularly as there was nothing in the state of the weather to prevent him doing so. No reply was made, and the brig pur sued the same undeviating course, going at the rate of five knots an hour, leaving the poor boy every instant at a greater distance. The boatmen, with that prompt alacrity and humanity for which they are p r overbial, proceeded in the direction indicated, and, a fter making two tacks, discovered the boy strug gling with the waves. To keep up . his spirits they loudlyhailed him, at the same time waving their hats, and using every possible cheering demonstration. Strange to say, they arrived at the critical period on which the boy's fate seemed to depend—a few moments longer, and all would inevitably have been lost. A firm grasp of the arm soon rescued the sufferer, and brought him into the boat. By judicious treatment the boy ultimately re covered, and was removed in a cart to Deal, wh e ro he rem ains under the protection of the Vice-Consul. Too much praise cannot be given to the boatmen for their noble and disinterested conduct. The name of the brig is the Preia, Captain Hendtman, bound to Rio Janerio. —Dover Telelpaph. MGR TIME TO RESIGN. — Judge R. M. Shearne, of North Carolina, has resigned his office.

PORTUGAL-THE BUDGET. LISBON, JAN. 22.—0 n the 19th instant Count Tojal laid before the Chamber of Deputies his anxiously-ex pected budget for the year beginning on the Ist of July next, and ending on the 30th of June, 184, from which it appears that a surplus of about 39 contos is calculated upon. The following is an abstract of this important document : REVENUE. BOARD OF PUBLIC CREDIT. Milreis.

Sirs,—l have the satisfaction to lay before you the budget of the receipts and expenditure of the State for the financial year 1845-6. " For my ability to do so I am indebted to the confi dence with which ner Majesty the Queen has honoured me; and assurei:tly never was it my duty to perform a more pleasing and grateful task. " The effuv..ts by which the present Administration has for three years preserved public order, maintained the institv.tions of the country, and provided fur the exigeneie.; of the State, aro fully acknowledged and ap preciate 3. " Tkae triumph of the cause of royalty and legal liberty —the, organising and reforming measures adopted in all brailches of the public service—and the punctual futzilment of all legally contracted engagements, have been the bases upon which we flatter ourselves to have established that public confidence without which there can be neither political stability nor financial organi- sation. " Various measures promulgated in the eourse of las year by the present Administration, are now becorre laws of the land. Amongst them there is one which is eminently tendent towards the organisation of our finances. I allude to the farming of the united tobacco, soap, and gunp3wder companies, in connection with the raising of a loan of 4,000 contos, at five per cent. and at par. " A series of political events bad long rendered the solution of our financial problem extremely complicated and difficult. Imperative circumstances arising out of those events had caused a necessity for sacrifices which the scanty resources of the treasury could ill support ; , and to crown all other difficulties, the future revenues were mortgaged to the extent of two-thirds of their amount—a state of things which could nut but • inspire the Government with the most serious apprehensions of a crisis, the fatal consequences of which could easily be foreseen. " It was in this alarming situation that the Govern. ment conceived a thought pregnant with advantageous results to the country, and calculated to put an end, in a ~reat measure, to the torrent of embarrassments which t , involved it on every side. " The Decree of the 30th June last contained that most important measure, to which we owe— " Ist. The loan of 4,000 contos at par, and at the moderate interest of five per cent., to be redeemed in 23 years. " 2d. The augmentation, by 72,427 milreis, of the price for which the tobacco, &c., monopolies have been farmed. " 3d. The redemption of the mortgages upon various branches of the revenue. "4th. The rapid rise in the value of the public funds. "sth. The development of the spirit of association, inspired by confidence in the acts of Government, anal the tendency of capital towards useful undertakings, which must promote the material amelioration and pros perity of the country. "The Government purposes laying before this Cham ber at an early period a statement of the application of the last loan of 4,000 contos, and to propose such mea sures as it may deem indispensable, in order that the ordinary and extraordinary expenses of the year, ending 30th June, 1845, as well as any extraordinary demands that may arise in the following year, may be provided for without encroachment upon the revenue appropriated to each of those years. "I shall now proceed to state to you the estimated revenue and expenditure for the year 1845-6. (Here follow long details, the substance of which is given in the above abstract.) " The interest on the foreign debt is calculated at the rate of one-half per seat. additional, in conformity to the decree of the 2d of November, 1840. There would therefore be, under that head, a deficit of 248,292 milreis; but by means of the accompanying project, No. 1, which I have the honour to lay before you that de ficit can be covered. It is proposed therein, that in ex change for the additional duties upon foreign imports, which have hitherto formed part of the endowment of the Board of Public Credit, shall be substituted an annual allowance of 900,000 milreis, 480,000 of which to be paid from the Custom-house of Lisbon and 420,000 from that of Oporto. "You will see by a comparison of the p resent estimates with those for the years 1844-5, that reductions to the following amounts have been made in the expenditure of the several departments, viz.:— Home.... ........... .. • Finance 122,029 Justice War llarine Foreign Affairs 451,017 Add to which the reduc tion in the Pension List 64,035 Total 5aving......... 515,053 The Chamber will see from this statement that the Government has been mast solicitous to adopt all prac ticable economical measures, in order to avoid as much as possible the imposition of further burdens upon the country. By a Royal Decree published in the Diarie of the 16th instant, the Queen has ordered the assessment of the decima tax for the financial year 1644-45, to be pro ceeded to forthwith, so as to be completed by the 31st of May next. The decree further enjoins an inspection to be made of all lands and houses, end a strict inquiry into the means and incomes of all persons subject to the payment of that impost, by the visiting Commissioners ap?ointed by virtue of the decree of the 7th June, 1844 ; as also that. any Commissioner who may show himself deficient in zeal, activity, or intelligence, in the discharge of his duties, shall be dismissed and substituted by ano ther and more capable person. The project of law for the abolition of the foreign Conservatorial Courts was voted naaraimously by the Chamber of Deputies on the 15th inst. In the course of his speech the Minister owned that there had been great difficulty in inducing -the British Government to surrender the Conservatortal privilege by the treaty of 1842, and that Lord Aberdeen had only consented to the sacrifice on production of proof incon trovertible of the great amelioration which had been ef fected in the judicial machinery of the country. Of the improvement in question her Majesty's Minister at this Court had soon after a taste himself, having been for the last year or upwards involved in a suit to recover the value of a broken-winded horse from the rogue who sold it to him warranted sound. An attempt is making to form an opposition company of" Public works," under the name of the " Alliance" with a capital of 8,000 contos, but as the projector:, at the head of whom is Count Farrobo, are all of the anti- Cabral party, the - Government is endeavouring to throw cold water upon it, by refusing to sanction its code of statutes. The Cortes have be en occupied during the last few days with a project for equalising the weights aid mea sures throughout the country.

SAVINGS' BANRs.—Under the recent Act of Par- ' liament applying to savings' banks, various amounts of interest have been 6 xed ; and it is a curious fact that small institutions as !re allowing a higher rate than larger ones, whereas the larger ones (reaping of course a greater profit) ougl it to allow the hig her rate of inte rest.
