, it our railway
to show a little respectable firmness
all our flattering anticipations may bE
it a dream ; but we would have the reader beat
mind, that we are only endeavouring to accoun t
or the agonies of the nightmare which has seized
n the high priest of bullionism. Lord OVERSTONE
abours in his dreams under the impression that
we are going back to the wide-spread disasters of
[825, and we are anxious to show that we are
getting back rapidly to a period long antecedent
to the noble lord's first appearance as a fallible
oracle on currency—that the season approaching
will resemble those times when Great Britain

defied the world in arms, and knew no equal in
commerce. Should time prove that we are right
in all we hope to see come to pass, it will be due
to the continuance of peace with all nations.
There are not a few who, seeing that economy and
repose will lead to such a happy consummation,
will endeavour to entangle us in war, that the days
of general and unbroken prosperity, which are
dawning upon this great country, may be deferred

by squandering our means on bloodshed. The
Bullionist will stop at nothing when he finds his
household idol has passed from his grasp, and
to restrain him from rushing into wanton reck-
lessness is the greatest difficulty we have to deal
with, and the first duty every upright citizen has
to discharge to his country.

ARRIVAL OF THE GeENADIER GUARIr.—The Grenadier
Guards, about whom some anxiety had begun to be felt,
arrived at Spithead in H.M.S. St. Jean d'Acre, Captain
King, at daylight yesterday morning. They left Malta
on the 11th, and have consequently been nineteen days
on passage from that island. The regiment will be
landed without delay, and proceed to the camp at
Aldershott.

THE MURDER OF MRS. KELLY.-It is reported that the
case against Mr. George Strevens, the nephew of the
murdered Mrs. Kelly, is so far incomplete that the
Crown does not mean at present to press the matter
further ; consequently the bills will not be sent up
before the grand jury at Westmeath at the approaching
assizes. The whole affair is still wrapt in mystery, and
there is no nearer clue now to the discovery of the
assassins than there were 24 hours after the commission
of the murder.

Tan REVENUE —The quarterly accounts to be made up
last evening will, we have reason to believe, exhibit
results of which the following is an estimate :—Under
the head of customs the increase for the quarter will
amount to about £150,000, and for the year, to £700,000 ;
the excise for the quarter, an increase of £210,000, on
the year, probably a decrease of .£BO,OOO in stamps,
a decrease of £13,000 on the quarter, and
the year. With respect to taxes, the vane' ions are of
the slightest character. The income tax

?97,000 on

xhibit an

increase on the quarter of .£117,000, and cn the year of
probably £3,502.000. The Post-ctlice will show a slight
increase on the year. The receipts under the head of
crown lands do not vary much, while under the head of
miscellaneous receipts there will be a slight decrease on
the quarter ; the increase on the year will be found
to amount to 240,000.—G10be.
