As far as the Peninsula is concerned, the French KING holds at once the spindle, the wheel, and the shears. He retains more than a life-interest in the sway exercised over the Spanish dominions : he re gulates, in short, the destinies of Spain, by having secured the reversion of its dynastic privileges to the offspring of his youngest son. Congratulate ourselves and Spain therefore as we may upon the instalment of Senor PA CHECO in the presidential chair of ISABELLA'S per sonally selected Cabinet; rejoice as we may over the probability of a comprehensive and benignant amnesty ; exult as we may over the auspicious birth of the Pacheco Administration, over the indisputable discomfiture of the pimping polity of the Afrance sados, and over the rumoured restoration of ESPAR TEIIO to those dignities and immunities which his prowess, his genius, and his patriotism had nobly earned—it would be folly to conceal from ourselves the conviction that these boons can merely be of temporary duration unless the laws of nature and the dispositions of a whole people be miraculously transformed. Happily, however, there is invariably a residuum of Hope after the most Pandorean torrent of affliction, and this Hope beams brightly enough from the embers of the traitorous Afrancesados. Courage, then, to those lovers of fatherland who may evince in cherishing the financial prosperity of their country, in maintaining an honourable friendship with disinterested states, and in conducting the in ternal administration with sobriety, probity, and regularity, as heroic, though scarcely so chiva'rous and picturesque a patriotism, as that evinced by Spanish Hidalgos of the olden time. Men now - a-days cannot assert their loyalty to the con stitution, or their devotion to the land of their birth by donning hauberks of " twisted mail," or couching lances of tough ash, but they may much more effectually, if not so picturesquely, become the preux-cheraliers of a nation by adroitly fingering the red tape, and judiciously arranging the portfolio. We are not indisposed to be sanguine therefore as to the benefits which may be derivable from PACXE CO and his colleagues. in their own hands which, if ofieled to puilic coin- petition, would 112.ve alleviated the general misery and preserved the lives of many who perished, the', victims of these sordid epirits. They hoped to obtain famine prices ; they heeded not the wretchedness of the million, that whole families should be swept away, that pestilence occasioned by the want of a sufficiency of the common necessaries of life, should prevail throughout the length and breadth of the land, provided they could obtain an increased price and still greater gains. Mammon took possession of their hearts, and thoy we're blinded to every consideration save that of pelf. But happily they have reckoned without their host ; Just ready, Us small Bvo.

YET, APRIL . lama. in the political preponderance remaining in the hands of the Moderadoes. We anxiously desire that a perfect ac cord should exist between the Throne and the Chambers, because it is the basis, the essential condition of the representative Government. We desire it, particularly at this moment, who n Spain has scarcely emerged from an ae,itation inseparable from the election of a new L,- gislature, and when, if she be sufficiently strong to bear the action of free inStitu'ions, she may not be as Well prepared to bear their abuses. However extraordinary the change of a Ministry may appear, immediately after a vote of the Chambers giving it an unequivocal proof of their confidence, nevertheless, as notwithstanding the change of persons, it is not likely that any important change will ensue in the political system, as most of the present Ministers have been chosen arnorgst the party which has hitherto directed public affairs, we confidently trust that a good understanding will continue to subsist among the great powers of the State. If we consider as a paramount inter est for Spain and France the preponderance of the party called . , Moderate, it is because we are persuaded that it is the most capable to direct the Spanish Govern ment in a regular and pacific course, and that it is alone likely to insure to the country a few years' repose, which a mischievous spirit of intrigue is constantly endeavour ing to _disturb. We do not mean to say that one party should remain for ever in possession of the Government. This can no more be expected in Spain than in England or France. The Progressista party may have its day ; its turn will certainly arrive ; but we do not regard this as an opportune moment for its accession to power. In the present situation of Spain the Moderate party, taken generally, offer all the elements necessary to achieve a legitimate and rational progress. The programme of M. Pacheco is a proof of it. Nothing would authorise us to doubt the sincerity of the assurances of the new Minis ters, and we should only see the necessity of reminding them of their promises if they were to forget them."

The returns of the receipts of the quarterly revenue, which were made public this morning, have given a con siderable degree of satisfaction in all circles here. That trade has it creased was pretty well an ascertained fact before Eh* official receipts of the Customs and Excise were known. Indeed, the ports of London and of Liver pool have, for the principal portion of the quarter which has just ended, been in a most active state. The deliveries of goods of all sorts have been large, and almost exclusively for instant consumption—cotton and cern excepted—not on speculation. Nothing further has transpired relative to the re ported•loss of the West India mail steam-packet Twecd. L. is considered certain, that should the intelligence un fortunately be true, that the numbrr of passenlers could not have been as great as has been stated. Much solicitude is still felt in the City relative to the influence that may be produced on the Money ivlarket by the recent resolve on the part of the directors of the Bank t f England, in restric..ing the movements of the ifiscount firms of the City. In comcquence, the result of the next wei kly meeting of the court on Thursday is looked for with anxiety. The Funds opened well this morning on account o the revenue, but have gone back since.

PORTSNIOUTH, MONDAY.—The Admiralty have it in contemplation to erect a barrack at Gosport for this di viaion of the Royal Marines, their present quarters in this citadel being vo circumscribed fer their rapidly in creasing numbers, as well as being very old and ill adapted for the requirements of this important and highly serviceable body. If these barracks are erected at Gosport, Portsmouth will lose at 1: ast, it is computed, 25,010/. per annum. Their Lordships are not anxious to take this great amount of benefit away from the trade of Portsmouth, and would prefer building the new guar ' ters within the walls of the garrison, but the corporate authorities, we are informed, are averse to meeting the Admiralty properly in the matter, their Lordships want ing the site of the borough gaol for the marines' new quarters, which there is a reluctance to give up, albeit for a handsome "consideration," althoogh there are other sites within the walls of the town which would be much more suitable for the position of the sessions'- house than its present situation. If the corporation do not meet the Admiralty in this matter, the borough will assuredly sustain the loss above mentioned, and at the same time, it is considered, lose the finest opportunity they ever had of materially improving the most im portant entrance to the garrison from the land side. The Sidon steam frigate,- Captain Henderson, C. 8., completed coaling and storing at noon to-day, and would then have gone out, but a merchantman having fouled her whilst lying alongside of the jetty, whereby she (the merchantman) lost her fore yard, delayed ber some time. She went out to Spithead at half-past one o'clock, and excited considerable interest among a large con course of spectators. She lay-to at Spithead to await the arrival of an express messenger from the Foreign office with important dispatches for the British Minister at Lisbon. The Admiralty have also sent out dispatches for Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker, the Commander in-Chief in the Tagus, whose fleet will speedily be rein forced with more ships. The Myrtle steam tender, Se cond Master-Commanding Bailiston, took out the Go vernment messenger to Spithead, with the dispaches, and immediately afterwards the Sidon weighed, and left for Lisbon. In reporting the Admiralty's trial of this real man-of war steamer on Saturday, we stated that the davits ap plied to her paddlebox boats, and which exhibited such instantaneous facilities for launching those boats over the side, were made upon a plan the invention of Mr. Barr, Inspector of Shipwrights at Woolwich Dockyard. We are now requested to state that the davits for the Sidon's boats are the invention of Captain Geo. Smith, MN., the inventor of the paridlebox boats; but who did not patent or secure the plan, becau.e of the expense attending 0 - wir fitting, which is three times as much as his present plan of fitting davits, and causes twice the weight of material to be used. The wind having come round to the westward, and blowing fresh, Mr. Bellamy was compelled to return from Brook to-day with the Myrtle steamer and Drake • lighter, without being enabled to accomplish the object in view of raising the guns, &c., of the Sphynx. Commander Wm. Ellis, R.N., late Master of the Royal yacht Victoria and Albert, is appointed Government Emigration Agent at Waterford, and left this evening for his post. Captain Ellis is an old war officer, who, was promoted to his present rank last year, with manY other of the same class, for his long and fai:hful ser vices, having been actively employed since the year 1800, and since the year 1809 as waster. In Allen 'S New Navy List, Captain Ellis is recorded "as Master of the Havock, and fre-quently employed in her boats against the Danish flotilla in the Cattegat, in 1808; and of the Castillitm at the attack of the French flotilla, and capture of the Ville de Lyons prelim off Boulogne in 1811, and the recapture of the Apelles sloop-of-war off Etaples; also at the capture of a French lugger privy - , teer, of 10 guns and 57 men, off Dieppe. MILITARY IssrEcTlON.—Major-General Lard F. Fitzclarence, G.C.8., l e ieutenant-Governor of l'orts mouth, and Commatider-in•Chief of the south-weste rn district, made his first Oficial inspection yesterday en.. Southsea.common. The 43.1 Light Infantry, Lieutenant - Colonel J. Forting, of which celebrated regiment the late Lteutenant-Governer of Portsmouth (Lieutenant .: General the lion. Sir 11. Pak, nham, K.C.8.) is Colonel* were the troops inspected, and were put through all the evolutions of field service, which they executed in a manner most highly creditable to themselves, and eminently gratitytng to their distinguished General and Celonel-in- Chief. Sir 11. Pakenharu relinquished the command of the above garrison and district on Thursday last, and is at present sojourning with his family under the hospitality of Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker, Cs' Superintendent of Portsmouth Dockyard, until the ter mination of the sale of their affects in the Governmen t House. Lord Fitzdarence remains at the George Hotel, where all the business of his command is et present transacted, and will continue to be until the Government House has been surveyed arid repaired, if found worth the expense ; if not, a new official mansion will be erected, it is supposed o n its o ri g i na l site, the Grand Parade. A monument to Lord Byron at Alissolongbi is spoken of, to be erected on the site of the now demo lished house in which the champion-bard died. Tbe, proprietor has offered the ground for the purpos e, and a handsome subscription towards the work has be& commenced. AN UNINTENDED TEMPTATION.—On a field IA the outskirts of Manchester there is erected a board 0 11 which is painted the following rather tempting notice: --- ' " Five Pounds Rewaid. Any Person found, breaking down or removeing, any Rails or Posts from the Fenc es of this estate, shall upon conviction receive the abov e reward." We omit the name of the solicitor to wbor e applicwion is to be made for the reward, lest he s hould be pestered with a crowd if applicants, willing, for th e sake of the 51. offered, to break down as many fences as might be thought desirable, and to find witnesses to COn" vict them of the offence. NUMEROUS AND EXTENSIVE ROTHIERIES.-- - Y eg# terday information was given to the police of the fol lowing rtlaberiesl—From the kitchen of Green, Esq. , 24, Hans place, Chelsea, two silver table-spores, si silver dessert-spoons, tight silver tea - spoo ns (crest, s small tower), silver fish slice, imp ladle, cheese knife, sugar tongs, and wine strainer, together with a a quell' City of plated articles.

THE SPEAKER'S CHAIR.—Mr. Howell, auctioneer , of St. George-street, Liverpool, has now in his sale-roe'? an arm-chair which was for many years the Speaker l chair in the old House of Commons, before it was burc 4 down, in 1834. The chair belonged to the late Ro of Charles Manners Sutton (Lord Canterbury), Speaker 01 the House of Commons, and was once used by the Deic e of Sussex, on the occasion of his giving an audience to the Corporation of Sunderland. The Cheltenham Cricket Club have determined to pitch their wickets for the first time to-day. The club will meet, according to present arrangements, WI, Tuesday and Friday throughout the season. THE CHELSEA PENSIONERS.—The out-pensione rs of the Royal Hospitals of Chelsea and Kilmainham hs" received notice that for the future, agreeably to the pro' visions of the Bill lately introduced by the Right floe' Fox Maule, their pensions will be paid without the de; duction of 5 per cent —an impost which, after years 0' useless complaint, they have, owing to the determinati on of Mr. Maule, succeeded in removing. CITY OF LONDON GENERAL PENSION SOCIETY Yesterday a general meeting of the subscribers to tb ° above society, founded in 1818, for providing a Pe r manent relief to decayed artisans , mech anics, manufec: turers, tradesmen, and the widows of such persons, ab ou t : sixty 3 ears of age, was held at the London Tavern, to the election of four additiona l p ensioners from a list i°o twenty-two candidates; Luke James Hansard, Esq., the chair. The report stated that there are now, dependent of yesterday's el ect io n, thirt y -two men 1120 twenty-nine females; the men receive it. 75., and if,. females 18s. per month. The d irect ors stated that .11,1; Royal Highness the Duke of Ca m br id g e would p r o at the anniversary festival in M a y , when the y hoped 't increase the pensioners' paymen ts to the original aroor,!, being four shillings more than the prese nt montnii payments. being LYTHAM.--We are exceedingly gratified in able to state that Thomas Clifton , Esq. , w ho has 1,7_ for some time seriously indisposed , at his seat, Lyth; Hall, in thig . county, is daily improyiug i n health* Preaon Pt(oe :.""V - • '010111C: o 7 - ' 1 01,14 4 , 0'; '''7" • MO* r:',77, - ;;;', 4 ,' -err :he soundness of the views and the correctness of the responsibility can scarcely be said to be of a persona character, for, except in cases where wilful malice can be substantiated, the law effectually screens the magistrate from suffering, either in his person or pocket, for any consequences, however injurious, that may have resulted to an accused party, from the inadequate performance of his judicial functions. But, notwithstanding that their personal responsibility, for the reason stated, is practically next to nothing, they still lie under a very heavy moral responsibility to the public, proportionate to the extensive powers with which the law has clothed their office. It grieves us to repeat that there is a wide-spread in difference to the strength of this public obligation, as evidenced by the repeated blunders and serious errors into which the magisterial body are constantly fall ing ; and even where this feeling of indifference does not exist, on account of the lax manner in which the corps of justices is organized, the public suffer just as much in another way, as though it did, owing to the gross ignorance and incompetency of a large proportion of those who are placed in the commission of the peace. Neither can we expect to rid ourselves of these objectionable blots, which affect the administration of justice in the hands of the minor functionaries of the law, until the system by which they obtain their authority be en tirely revised. It is n,torious that the magisterial bench is filled by men whose qualifications for the dig nity have been inconsiderately measured, not by their intellectual capacity, but by their personal influence, as connected with property. If a person resident in a county is desirous of elevating his social position among his neighbours, he frequently induces his tenantry to vote for the political party, from whom the aim of his ambition is not kept a secret, and through whom, by a seasonable hint to the Lord- Lieutenant, he is in due time raised to the bench. In this way individual vanity is gratified, the re quirements of the public, that the magistrates should be selected from men of intelligence, and somewhat versed in the laws of their country, being almost altogether unheeded. Considering, however, the hap-hazard mode, and the heterogeneous materials out of which the justices of peace are constituted, it is matter of wonder that the administration of th law is so well conducted as it is; and, at all times, it is far more gratifying to admire than to criticise and reprehend the manner in which the servants of the Crown, in their several departments, perform their duties to the State. The admirable efficiency that ordinarily stamp, the judicial conduct of the successive Chief Magistrates of the city of London is deserving of the highest eulogy ; and we always feel chagrined when anything occurs calculated to de tract from the efficacy of their example. A man, who called himself JOHN BAKER, was charged before the LORD Mayoa on Saturday with having shouted out, " There goes a -- Bobby 1" whilst two of the City police were following two thieves. The latter took the hint and made off. The police, considering this exclamation an interference with their duty, inquired of BAKER what he meant by it, and ultima . ely took him into custody. This was an unjustifiable act. A man is not to he de prived of his liberty because he happens to exercise his lungs and voice in the manner above-mentioned, and because others choose to presume it was done for a sinister object. Such a proceeding constitutes a dangerous precedent where the liberty of the sub ject is concerned, and alarms people as to the extent to which the police may, even for the most trivial circumstance, be inclined to stretch their authority ; and it is no justification of such a step to allege, or prove, that the prisoner has not borne a reputable character. It may be that the prisoner was both abu sive in his language and violent in his demeanour when addressed by the police; but had they any right, in the first instance, to interrogate him as they did ? We think not. They clearly exceeded the limits of their duty. It was proved that, two years since, the pri soner had been tried for stealing a watch. The pri soner declared that he was honourably acquitted, and had since been honestly employed, whereupon the LORD MAYOR remarked, " the magistrates well know how frequently juries acquit in cases of guilt, in con sequence of the ingenuity of counsel, the tampering with witnesses, and other circumstances." 'These were exceedingly ill-timed ehaervations, which, however true, ought never to be made from the seat of justice. In the eye of the law a m anis considered inno cen t unt il f oun d gu il ty, and it is highly unbecoming in a judge to weaken the value of this presumption to a man who has been tried and acquitted—to surmise, off-hand, and parti cularly after a lapse of two years, that a man owed his release from the grasp of the law, not to his in nocence of the crime charged, but to the dexterity of 1 his counsel. Such extra-judicial remarks may be quoted and successfully handled by a malignant Iperson, inflicting great pain upon another, who has been under the misfortune of having stood a trial for an offence of which, in the opinion of every candid mind, he was then considered to be wholly innocent. The theory of the law, to which we are alluding, is equally wholesome and bene volent, presenting a fine moral bulwark against the shafts of malice and the assaults of tyranny. It is based upon a sound principle, and ought not to be tampered with. It is a principle that ought to be rigidly maintained, however dubious its application may appear to be in any given instance ; and, least of all, should its sanctity be invaded by those who, by their position, are expected to be its most faithful guardian?. All danger of a deficiency of food in Ireland is now happily dispersed; the enormous quantity of bread stuffs that have been imported into that country have had the effect, not only of bringing down the markets to more reasonable rates, but of inducing persons who had hoarded large quantities of corn, and other cereal produce, to bring forth their secret stores to the world. Few persons will be found to regret the disappointment that awaited those heartless men, who, with ample supplies in their possession, saw des titution prevailin g in their respective neighbour hoods, and th e people suffering under all the pangs and h orrors of starvation, and still, not satisfied arguments of the Free-traders, or of the fallacies of the Protectionists. The principle has been subjected to a test of the greatest severity. A fearful crisis was to be surmounted. All the ordinary calculations were displaced by the extent of the calamity. An insufficient and scanty supply under the recent cir cumstances of the country could not be considered as fatal, or even injurious, to the doctrines of free trade ; indeed it would be hard to conceive any state of the law by which the difficulties occasioned by the mys terious visitation of PROVIDENCE, in the destruction of the chief part of the nation's food, could have been averted. But the happy result is conclusive as to their soundness and efficiency. What would have been the state of the country had Sir ROBERT PEEL postponed his great experiment for even a single session ? We shudder at the contemplation of the harrowing details that must inevitably have occurred. No stronger confirmation could have been afforded of the soundness of the Ministerial policy in leaving the supplies of the country to be provided from the legitimate sources. Had the British Government en tered the markets of the corn-exporting countries as extensive purchasers, the immediate effect would have been an enormous increase in the prices of provisions of every description, the cessation of all private enterprise, the banishing all those who would not venture to encounter so power ful a competition. Had the Government once at tempted the task, or hesitated in giving the required pledge, they could not have halted or held back. They should Lave undertaken the supply, not only of Ire land, but of Great Britain, and we should have seen a famine prevailing throughout the entire land. The scenes of Skibbereen would have been re-enacted on English ground ; the artizans and labourers, even of this great metro polis, would have seen their helpless children pining from the inadequacy of their food, and piteously demanding the abundance to which they had been accustomed. That such scenes have not taken place we owe to the firmness of the Premier and his colleagues ; their strict adherence to the sound principles of political economy has saved their country from this accumulated misery. For this they have been reviled and insulted ; reproach and obloquy have been heaped upon them for conduct that should have secured, and most undoubtedly will eventually secure, the national g rati tude. Not the least curious part of the secret hoarding that has been brought to light is the re-appearance in the markets, not only of Dublin, but in all parts of the country, of large supplies of sound potatoes that were kept back during the months of pressure and scarcity, in the hope that the most exorbitant prices would have been obtained. The object, however, has failed, as the rates are not higher at this moment than they were many months since, when their pro duction would have been most valuable. It is impos sible to speak of this conduct in language sufficiently strong to expose its atrocity. Madrid journals of the 30th ult. have arrived. One of the appointments in the new Cabinet, that of. Senor PASTOR DIAZ to the Ministry of Commerce and Public 'lnstruction, is very_ significant. He is the author of an exceedingly clever pamphlet against the Montpensier marriage. 'the Heraldo announces that Senor BAIZAMONDE had accepted the office of Minister of Justice. In his opening spe:. , ch to the Cortes, a sketch of which we gave yesterday, and a full re port of which is published in the Madrid Gazette of the 30th, Senor PACHECO, speak ing in the name of the Ministry, said that " With regard to foreign affairs, their policy would be to live in harmony with all nations, but not to form with any that kind of close intimacy which could only take place at the expense of Spain herself. They had taken office at the moment when Spain had contracted alliances, all of which should be equally respected, without predilection in favour of one more than another. At home they would be guided by the laws, the spirit of which they would seek to follow, and so rigorously, that should there exist any doubt as to the true meaning of any laws, they would adhere to the letter of them, and then come before Parliament for its ratification of their conduct. They meant to propose a law in favour of the press, submitting it to a tribunal independent of the nomination or the Sovereign, and acting upon the true principles of jurisprudence. He accepted the vote of the Chamber, withdrawing authority to regulate the budget and pub • lie debt, for the reason that, on principle he should al ways treat such authorisations as limited to the session." It was gpnerally believed in Madrid that PACIIECO could command such a majority in the Cortes as to render a dissolution unnecessary. General FuLotoso, the brother of the !Juke of RIANZARES, has been dismissed from his command of New Castile and Madrid, and General Coßnovi has been appointed in his room. It is said that PEZUELA will also be dis missed, and be succeeded by JOSE DE LA CONCHA.. Senor PACHECO has announced a new act of amnesty. MADRID BOMA, MAUCH 30.—The Three per Cents. closed at 32 1 for cash ; the Five per Cents., at 201 ; the Debt without interest, at 51 , and the Coupons, at 17. We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. The change of Ministry in Spain has brought out the Opposition papers in grand force, and they all contain the most biting and caustic remarks on what the Constitu•ioonel calls the " tumbling down of the castle of cards, which M. GUIZOT had erected with so much care in Spain. If the evil," continues the anutitutionnel, " was limited to the destruction of this card - castle, it would be of no great consequence The caprice which has destroyed it may perhaps build it up again. But we have been deceived, not only as to the duration of this mighty work, but also as to its results. Nothing was to be changed in Europe. On the contrary, we find everything changed— alliances and antipathies. It is in Spain alone that nothing is changed. The marriage has not modified either the ideas, the customs, or the manners of the country. It is still the land of complaisant Cortes, of ephemeral Cabinets, of Court influence, and of palace revolu tions." In another part of the same article the Con salutionnel asks whether the journey of CHRISTINA to Paris is one of pleasure or of necessity, and:whetherthe return of M. BaßssoN to Madrid is impossible or is ardently desired. It thus concludes :—" We do no t see in the recent transactions in Spain anything like a triumph for any party. There can be neither conquerors nor conquered where everything changes so rapidly and without serious cause—it is ridiculous to sing a song of triumph for the success of an influence which is so easily obtained ; it would be madness to make it a basis of any system of policy." The National is less grave, but more annoying'. It says—" No sooner '.had the new Ministers entered upon office than they boldly faced those same Cortes who a week before had given such signal proof of confidence in their predecessors !—so turns the wheel of fortune ! M. PACHECO, after having uttered a few words of explanation, obtained a majority of 154 votes against 56. As to M. i7iERRANO, he found him self at liberty, fiscal who had commenced his prosecut i on, and who, and nimbly presented himself to the in the politest terms, begged of M. SERRANO not to give himself any further trouble about the matter.'

The Return of the net produce of the Revenue of Great Britain, for the quarter ending sth April, 1847, is most satisfactory, exhibiting, as it does, an increase on the year of 1,538,1681., and on the quarter of 403,6321. Still more satisfactory is it to know that this increase is derived from perfectly legitimate sources, and that it may be taken as an index of the prosperity of the country, and of the truth of those principles of free trade which have been of late years _ _ adopted by successive ministers. The total Customs Revenue for the quarter amounts to 4,447,6731., and for the year t 018,796,620/., showing an increase on the quarter of 485,755/., and on the year of 1,132,002/, and this without any aid from the duties on corn, which formed a large item in the returns for the preceeding quarter. This proves to demonstration, that a de crease of duty is always followed by an increase of Revenue, and this position is still further demon strated by the return of the Revenue from the Excise. Notwithstanding the abolition of some of the Excise duties, and the reduction of many others, the Excise Revenue for the quarter amounts to 1,652,865/., and for the year to 12,547,6571., showing an increase on the year of 661,5721.,. and on the quarter of 26,4071. This increase is very satisfactory, as showing, tha notwithstanding the partial distress existing in some districts of England, and affecting the whole of Ireland, and the greater part of Scot land, the bulk of the population of the Empire, are still enabled to indulge, to some extent, in the use of those humble luxuries which are subject to the duties of Excise. On Stamps there is a decrease on the year of 32,6931., but an increase on the quarter of 131,414/. ; the amount for the year being 7,062,8281., and for the quarter 1,817,282/. This may be considered as satis factory, inasmuch as the increase on the quarter is the result of legitimate trading % while the decrewe on the year arises from the ces4ation of the railway mania, which, while it lasted, contributed to swell up the return for stamps much beyond its legitimate proportions. The sum received for Taxes amounts, for the year, to 4,2.57,1581., and for the quarter to 130,892/., showing an increase on the year of 33,1191., and a decrease on the quarter of 15,2501. On the Property-tax there is an increase of 69,1901. on the quarter, and of 379,840/. on the year ; the total amount for the quarter being 2,033,072/., and fur the year 5,464,581/. The Post-office revenue continues steadily on the increase ; for the year it amounts to 820,000/., fur the quarter to 219,0001., showing an increase in the year of 52,0001., and on the quarter of 4 0001. The revenue derived from Crown lands shows a decrease in the quarter of 8,0001., and on the year of 18,0001., the total amount of revenue derived from this source being for the year 112,0001., and for the quarter 37,000/. Under the head Mis cellaneous, we find an increase on the quarter of 1,0711., on the year of 129,273/. ; the total re venue derived from this source being for the quarter 92,593/., and for the year 318,161 1. The total ordinary revenue for the year amounts to 49,379,0051., and for the quarter to 10,430,3771., showing a net in grease on the year cf 1,538,168/., and on the quarter of 403,6321. The total charge (including 2,800,000/. advanced to Ire land, per Act 9 and 10 Vie., cap. 107) amounts fur the quarter to 10,992,6361. The surplus on the present quarter is 628,7811., to which is to be added the sur plus of Revenue on the sth January, 1847, amounting to 1,365,4551., making the total surplus of the Con solidated Fund, 1,994,2361. Farewell—we trust a long ° farewell— has been taken by the Afrancesados to all their greatness in the Spanish capital. Queen ISABELLA Ints given a brilliant testimony of her disinclination to succumb to the tyrannic influence of Louis PHILIPPE or of his truckling Minister. Queen ISABELLA has done more—she has evinced a capacity in ridding her councils of unpatriotic interlopers beyond what could have been at all anticipated, and calculated to enlist for herself those popular affections uhich during her girlhood have been so unhappily estranged. We are disposed to congratulate the Spaniards upon the course just adopted by their SOVEREIGN, though It were of course premature to commend the embryo Cabinet for a liberality that is merely hinted and an independence that is only supposititious. By a gradual process of liberalization the Govern ment of Spain has risen from the slavish ness of IsTuarrz to the indefinite obse quiousness of SOTOMATOR, and has now passed into the hands . of the more generously disposed PactiEco. Whether the programme of the new Administration has been merely coloured with de ceptive promises for the purpose of inveigling the multitude into submission and confidence, or whether the dazzling inuendoes of that programme are to be actually realised, the lapse of a few months, probably of a few weeks, will sufficiently testify. That such an abrupt secession from the Afraneesado policy should inspire the Parisian organs of CHRISTINA. and GUIZOT with a suspicion that Mr. BULWER is at the bottom of the whole transaction ; that they should con ceive in the first ebullition of their chagrin that the Engli-h Ambassador at the Court of Madrid has been the principal instigator in the ex pulsion of SOTOMATOR from authority, is but natural.

STEALING A BOOK OF COSTS. A respectably dressed man, John Connolly, aged 38 described in the calendar as a law-writer, was indicted for stealing, on the 20th of March last, a copy of " Richard's Book of Costs," valued at 10s., from the shop of Mr. Wildy, a law bookseller carrying on business at No. 90, Chancery-lane. Mr. Payne defended the prisoner. No one appeared for the prosecution. Mr. W. A. Reeves, assistant to Mr. Lumley, a law bookseller in Chancery-lane, deposed to the prisoner offering a copy of Richard's Book of Costs for sale, on the 23d of March. He did not, however, purchase it. Mr. Charles Wildy, son of the prosecutor, stated that he had been in the habit of placing the book with others for sale on a board, for two months previous to the day be missed it, namely, on the 20th. He had seen it the day before. There was a mark of 12s. upon it, but it had been rubbed out. The edges had been turned down in places, and he was positive the book was the one which had been missed, City police-constable 354 proved taking the prisoner into custody, at a shop in Chancery-lane. He inquired what he had done with the book he had offered for sale, in the morning? To which he replied that he had sold it in the street to a clerk whom he knew, for as. Several witnesses gave the prisoner a good character; one (a female) swore that he had even the book in his possession for four or five months before the time in question. Mr. PAYNE contended that nothing had been adduced to show that the prisoner was guilty of the offence im puted to him. Besides, there was nothing in the book to indicate that it belonged to the prosecutrix. There were hundreds of copies of the book, and it was but right to assume that the prisoner, who was a respectable man, and had occasion in his business for such a book, might have one in his possession, as had been proved. The jury at once Acquitted the prisoner. GLASS STEALING.—An intelligent-looking youth, named James Moore Neale, aged 17, described as an engraver, was indicted for stealing, in February last, twelve drinking glasses, value 61., the property of his master, Nicolas Conne. The prisoner was apprenticed to the prosecutor, and had had his wages increased about the time from Ba. to 10s. a week. He absented himself from his employment. for a week in the course of that month, on the score of illness; and it was during that time that the glasses were found to have been pledged by the lad at Mr. Young's, a pawnbroker, in Princes-street, Leicester squire for I Is. 6d. It appeared that he had to contri bute materially to the support of his father and mother, who were in great disttess. Once he asked his employer for the loan of sixpence to buy some bread, as they had not a morsel in the house. When given into custody. he at once told the policeman where he would find the duplicates. He said his father and mother were in great distress, that they had no bread, and that he took the things in order to obtain some for them. He said it was his intention to redeem them as soon as he could. The REC )RDER It ft the case in the hands of the jury, and remarks d that the amount which the boy obtained from the pawnbroker's was about equal to a week's wages, and that he was absent at the time. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended him to mercy. [lt appeared the prisoner had been charged with stealing some spoons, but it was not sustained.] The RECORDER sentenced him to three months im prisonment, with hard labour, in the Westminster House of Correction. STEALING A WATCH.—Richard Williams, aged 20, a printer, was indicted for stealing a watch, value 71., on the 22d of March last, in King William-street, from the Person of Mr. P. D. Goepel, a clerk in the Alliance Insurance-office. On that day a crowd had been attracted in consequence of the falling of a horse. The prosecutor stopped to ascertain what had happened, and whilst looking on, the prisoner pressed against him, and he felt his band at his waistcoat-pocket. He instantly found that his watch was gone, and, on turning round, he perceived the prisoner hand something to a man near him, and exclaim " Here it is." The man dashed through the crowd, but h l e caught hold of the prisoner, and gave him into custody. The watch was not found upon him. City police constable 569 took the prisoner into custody. He declared that he knew nothing of the robbery. The watch was wrenched from the chain with so much force as to break the ring of the watch. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. A former conviction of felony, in 1844, was proved against the prisoner. He had also been committed for three months from the Clerkenwell sessions. The REcoRDER sentenced him to ten years' transpor • tation. 2p 87% 247 IVEIV COURT. (Before thQ COMMON SERGENT and Mr. Alderman FA RERROTIIER.)

(THIS DAY.) The April quarter sessions for the county of Middle sex, commenced this morning before the Assistant- Judge, and a full bench of magistrates, at the Court house, Clerkenwell-green. The number of prisoners for trial was 98, of whom 17 were indicted for misdemeanour, the remainder being charged with felony. Tne Learned ASSISTANT-JUDGE, in his charge to the grand jury, congratulated them upon the fact that, at no session for the last ten years did the number of juvenile offenders bear a smaller przportion to the aggregate number of prisoners in the calendar. James Gwyne, John Grady, and Joseph Colman, who were found guilty at the last sessions of felony, and judgment respited to this day, in order' that inquiries as to previous character might be made, were brought up for judgment, when Gwyne was sentenced to four months' imprisonment, Grady to six months, the last six weeks to be solitary, and Colman to six months, each term to be accompanied by hard labour. James Crankshaw was indicted for stealing a gilt frame and table stand, the property of Messrs. Jackson and Co., carvers and gilders, of Rathbone-place, Oxford street. It apeared from the evidence in support of the prosecu tion, that the prisoner had been in the service of the prosecutors until about two months ago, and on the day named in the indictment, the prisoner was observed by one of the workmen to leave the premises with the property in his possession. Information having been given to the foreman, the prisoner was followed, and overtaken near Regent-street, when he said that he was taking the stand and frame to the house of Sir James Graham, in Hill-street, Berkeley-square, for Lady Gra ham's inspection, as ho understood she wished to pur chase them. The foreman stated that the prisoner had no authority from the prosecutors to take away any articles ; and that he was forbidden even to enter the manufactory. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty ;. and the i pri soner. was sentenced to three months' imprisonment with hard labour. The prisoner's sister here addressed the Court, and said, that since last Christmas her brother had shown symptoms of mental alienation, and, The Learned ASSISTANT•JUDGE gave directions to the officers of Tothill Fields-prison to have him subjected to medical examination, when, if the sister's statement were found to be true he would be properly disposed of. WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) William Sucre, a boot and shoemaker, of No. 2, Whit more-street, Whitmore-road, Holton Old Town, was charged with wilfully setting Ere to the house in which he resided. _ _ _ Winford Holdham, a lodger in the above house, de posed that about twelve last night the prisoner had got a few friends with him.
