LONDON, TUESDAY, DEC. 31.

THE REVENUE.

The returns fee the quarter and of the year will
be made up this ovealeg.

On the quarter there will be a net ilecrowie of
about 1,900,000 E ; and on the year a decrease of
abut 3,300,0001.

There is an increase in Cu■tome on the quarter
of 300,0001., and on the year el 760,000/.
The Excise shows a decrease both on the quarter
and on the year ; that in the former case, being
460,0001. ; and in the latter, 908,0001.
Stamps exhibit an increase ou the quarter of
60,0001., and on the year of 200,0001.
In Taxes the diminution is unimportant—about
11,1001. on the quarter, and 7,0001. ou the year.
The Income TA: presents a falling off of 1,170,0001.
on the quarter, and nearly 3,000,0001. on the year.
The variation in this tax is explained by the re-
duced duty and the arrears of collection.

The Post-oliiee yields an increase of 30,0004 on
the quarter, and of 80,00 W. on the year.
In Crown Lands tbs variation is unimportant.

In the Miser Hansom Revenue there is an excess
of 00,000/. on the quarter, and • diminution of
more than soo,ouor. on the year ; the former
arising from the increased contribution from the
Indian revenue towards the non-effective charge fur
the Queen's troops employed in India ; the latter
from the payment on account of the Spanish
Debt during the same period of last year.
Customs and Stamps are, it may be observed,
both very satisfactory ; the former show an increase
o• nearly every article but corn, Geneva, and
tobacco. In the case of the Excise the real decrease
is considerably law than the apparent, on account
of the drawback on Paper duty during the quarter,
while on the year the decrease is affected by the
additional receipt last year on account of the
shortened term of the Malt Credit

MARKETS.

1 TALLOW.
(From the Circular of Mews. Culverwell, Brooks, and Co.,
dated Friday Evening.)
The tallow market since our last report (of the 20th inst.)
1 has shared in the general inactivity which the unusually
broken character of tho past week has imposed upon mat
commercial operations. The very moderate amount of the
deliveries a a fair indication of the business transacted,
I which has been almost entirely for consumption, there having
been nothing done of a speculative character worthy of pal.
• titular notice. The demand for " sorts" has been very
light, a few pawls of South American sad Australian
tallow changing hands at about our quotations of last week.
1 Prices in general have experienced little alteration, and for
new Y.C. tallow the current rates were, yesterday, 31n lid.
• for new, on the spat; 51s. 3d. for the month ; 51s. 3d. to
51s. 6d. January to March ; and 52a. to 525. 3d. for March
only.
As may be seen from the figures given below, our esti.
mate made some weeks back, of 52,000 casks, as the probable
stock on Ist January nest, will be somewhat exceeded, end
should the existing momentous question of war or peace be
settled iu the manner generally desired there might be
some difficulty in maintaining prices at their present level,
although the decline would probably be but slight. A short
time will now determine the point in question, and should
the bane be unfavourable to peace we must be prepared to
expect some advance in tallow. A feet contracts are still
open for the month, but the engagements to be met are
not heavy ; they are sufficient, however, to mist in keeping
the market tolerably steady, and may eucountse holders to
expect full prices up to the close of the year.
Business to-day has again been very limited, and oar quo-
tations for Y.C. tallow indicate little or no alteration. At
the close, now,Y.C.lon the spot is valued at 51s. lid. ; 51s. 3d.
is naked for the month ; 51s. 3d. to 51s. 6d. for January to
M .Carch, and for the latter month alone, 525. to 525. 3d. Ohl
Y. is Mb. 3d. to 50e. 9d. per cwt.
The arrivals for the week ending the 26th instant were
3,197 casks ; deliveries, 744 casks ; stock, 54,078 casks ;
showing an increase of 2,453 casks.
Town Tallow.—Business in this article has not been at-
tended with any circumstances to call for special notice.
The supply appeir equal to the usual inquiry at this season.
This evening the • ledsw " price is without alteration, say
525. 9d.. or Me. 3d. per cwt. net cash. Fat 2s. Bti. per
stone of 8 lbs.

The usual sales of tallow, oil, kr., were this week
suspended. For general quotations, we refer to the an-
nexed list.

Cocounut oil continues steady, a moderate business is
doing at our last qootationa ; Cochin, 50s. to 500. 6d.
Ceylon, 495. to 495. 6d. per cwt.
Palm oil is rather diflcelt of sale, Qs. Cod. to 445. per
cwt. ara the prices quoted for best aorta.
South American Horse Oman, 425. per cwt. is the
senors! quotation ; there is very little offering.

PURCHASES OF ARTILLERY IN EUROPE

FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
(FROM OOR OWN coalzaromure.)
HAMBURG, Mc. 29.

The Hamburg-A merioan Company's screw steamer
Hammonia (under the Hamburg flag), Captain
Schwensen, started on Christmas-day from this
port to New York direct, without calling at South-
ampton as usual for the American mails, having
been specially chartered for the exclusive con-
veyance of a valuable park of artillery, purchased
by the government of the United States from that
of Austria. It consists of eighteen splendid new
rifled cannon for field service, of a novel make
(the invention of an Austrian:artillery officer), with
the gun carriages, ammunition waggons, and
all other appurtenances complete, together with
a large quantity of the ammunition required for
the battery. The whole arrived here by a special
train from Vienna rid Berlin, and was immediately
shipped on board the Hammonia. It is stated
here that she is to call in at some port (place not
specified), to take on board a body of armed men
as • protection in case of need. It is to be hoped
she will not chance to fall in with the Nashville, or
any other of the Confederates' cruissrs ; for in
case of being overhauled, there can be no doubt of
her being taken and condemned, for having on
board contraband of war, which would prove a
most
fortunate windfall for the confederacy of the
South. Of course great secrecy has been observed
about the shipment till the steamer was fairly off,
and ploughing across the Atlantic to her desti-
nation.

ELECTORAL IiESSE.

The result of the elections in Electoral Hesse
are already sufficiently known to show that the new
Chamber, with the exception of three or four
voices, will call for the Constitution of 1851. An
address to the Elector is said to be in preparation,
in which it is declared that the persons signing it
will never admit the legality of the suppression or
modification of the Constitution by the Federal
Diet.

AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienna states that the absence of the
Emperor in Venetia will be longer than was at first
mentioned. His Majesty will remain there until the
12th or 15th of February, and will stop for a fort-
night or three weeks at Verona. The Archduke
Reviler, the letter adds, is to be invested with
imperial powers during the Emperor's absence from
his capital.

REVIEW OF THE YEAR

A T home our lot has been, as usual, a checkered
one. We had a harvest of a peculiarly fine qua-
lity, though somewhat short in quantity. lbw
seed was never seen, and we have bad a favoura-
ble autumn for sowing it. We hays enjoyed a year
of social peace and fair prosperity. Some livelyoom
beelines& there have been on theological and edu-
cational subjects. We have seen the Church
deeply disturbed by the discussion of topics which
men ►ave discussed at intervals for eighteen
hundred years, or always ; and we have seen
clergymen brought to the bar of ecclesiastical
judgment for their discourses or writings. Such
embroilment& always end in an increase of liberty
of thought and worship, and are by no means to be
reckoned among the calamities el the year. Nor
are the clamours about the new Code, propounded
by the Council of Education, to be 8o regarded. If
we witnessed unworthy armee en the pert of
very new " vested interest," we has seen oho a
bold and seiaible attempt made to gal out of on
untenable position, and to give Blob& children
better teaching at lees cost than at present. We
consider this proposal of change one of the happy
events of the year.

We have had our meetings for the promotion of
both Natural and Social Science. We have seen
our Volunteer system well sustained, and have
found its value on the fist alarm of war, in the
freedom which it gives to the disposal of our
soldiery. We have reason to confide in the im-
provement of our army, and in the fine spirit of
our sailors. The Naval Reserve secures us against
our worst danger, in providing for the manning of
our ships ; and the alacrity for service shown by
that force, as soon as war appeared probable, has
cheered and gratified the whole kingdom.
As usual, crime overshadows our retrospect,
and eepocially in the bright pert—tbe region of l
military improvement. The military murders of
the last year are both a degrees and a terror—
like the rick-burning mania of thirty years since.
The Preston and Aklershott murders are perplex-
ing and humbling. Ho is the outbreak at Chatham
among the convicts in February. So are the
Sheffield outrages, which have been so frequent of
late; and the long series of murders this year, which
almost bear the character of an epidemic. We have
suffered remarkably from fires too—from the fire in
Dublin in April, which cost eleven lives, to the
donne which have ushered in the present winter.
The Surrey Music-hall perished in that way, sod the
fires in the Borough, which cost us Mr. BILAIDWOOD
fint, and then threw us out of our calculations
about insmauce, and overthrew our confidence in

WESTMINSTEIt.

Several declarations on the subject of the late murder in
Westminster were tendered to Mr. Arnold for his signature
by Mr. Bury Hutchinson, solicitor. He intended t., accom-
pany a petition, now in preparation, to the Secretary of
State for a remissiou of the capital sentence upon Maloney.
From the information of which ha was in possession, he
could show that the principal witness, Saunders, bad been
guilty of perjury.
Mr. Arnold observed that if the Secretary of State
thought there were any grounds for such an imputation, he
would respite the culprit without the declarations.
Mr. Hutchins.° said that either eight or ten persons whom
he could call were perjured if Saunders were not ; they
were not called upon the trial, as they would have raised so
many collateral Issues.
Mr. Arnold could not see how he could take such declare.
Bons as those now placed before him.

Mr. Iluichinnon 'suggested that he was placed in some
difficulty in the matter, and be could not make affidavits in
the onliosry way, and thus confirmthe contents of the
petition to the .lecretavy o State, because there was no
cause pending, nod be had therefore erected to the present
course, deeming it wee the only one left to him, and having
been informed that the proceeding was admissible.
Mr. Arnold could not see what validity or force they could
have, or that he had any right to take them but for some
statutory purpose.
Mr. Hutchinson urged that it was not uncommon to take
declarations respecting certificates of birth, or with refer-
ence to title to estates.

Mr. Arnold pointed out that if he had no power by law
to Ulu, such declarations, there could be no assignment of
perjury sustained against the person making it.
- Mr.-Hutchinson expressed himself most anxious to eon.
Arm the petition he was about to send to the Home•roffice.
Mr. Arnold thought that if the statements referred to
were nest in they would have as much weight as though
declared before a mapistreia
Mr. Hutchinson intimated that that would be asking
tie Secretary of State to place the same reliance upon mere
statement as evidence which had been given upon oath.
Mr. Arnold repeated that he did not consider himself jun.
tilled sa receiving the declaration' before him, nor should
be be diapered to wept such as had been mentioned re;

NOTTINGHAM GOOSE PAIR.

This great autumnal fair commenced yesterday,
and was proclaimed according to ancient custom by the
mayor and corporation to continue nine days. There was
• toler.ibly good show of horses, but the bulk of them were
only of secondary quality, as the best animals were dis-
posed of on the previous day in the stables, when high
prices were obtained—via., good hunters, 1601. ; secondary,
1001. to 1401. each. In the fair, business was not brisk, but
goal cart horses sold exceedingly, well, and realised from
251. to 601. Superior colts were also in request, and prices
varied from 301. to 341. ; secondary , 20/. to 2SI. each. For
cobs the deinaud was quiet, sad lower rates had to be taken
for all but the best aorta ; first clams animals made 451. ;
cindery, 201. to 301. The cattle fair was well supplied
with 'Mich and store beasts. The former commanded
a steady sale, and fair prices were made, fine samples mat-
ting 201. to V/. ; inferior, 161. to 18/. ; fur storm the inquiry
was slow, and buyers were enabled to effect purchases at
Prices in their favour, the best qualities selling at 12'. to
141. 10s. per bead. Heifers sad steers sold well, and made
71. to 101. per ditto. There was a tolerably good supply of
calves, which were readily takes off at full rates, 31. to 5/.
each. Store sheep were in fair supply, and made two to
three guineas each. The pitch of cheese was about an ar-
ms of former seasons, but owing to the large importation
of American dairies factors did not operate extensively, and
in many cages prices were 13s. per cwt. lower than lest year.
Leicestershire samples made Oa to 60s. ; Derbyshire, 50s.
to 65e. ; Nottinghamshire, 455. to 63e. per cwt. ; in many
instances 78e. to 803. were realised last year. Stilton cheese
sold readily at 0.1. per lb. The weather was very fine, and
the pleasure fair was numerously
attended, the special
trains having brought a large influx of visitors into the
town.

THE RUGBY AFFAIR.

A Rugby oorrespondent of the Leeds Mercury
writes :—" Mts. MIL the baby, and the nursemaid have been
residing in itughysinceSaturday last. Mrs fill suffi-
cient personal attraction to )nstsfy belief in t e report that
mho ha, lad captive many suitors. It is a fact that ohs was
awn away with when at boarding school, and that she was
brought hack by a well-known person, who, in his entire.
Toon to rescue the lady from her gallant awl enterprising
admirer, remised a lasting memento on the must prominent
feature of his countenance.

" The wealth of the lady was greatly exaggerated in the
first amounts of the case. Leidy Burdett, the mother of
Mrs. Hill, re4deil at Brussels, upon an income of 2,0001.
per annum, terminable with her life. Her estate is managed
and the rents of her property collected by Mr. Maltby, the
vice-mogul of and this accounts is a great measure
for the intimate knowledge which Mr. Maltby appease to
have of Mrs. Hi'ls private affairs. Mrs. Hill derives con-
siderable pecuniary advantages from the settlements made
upon her by the prisoner, and that in some measure, apart
from the promptiogs of the maternal instinct, accounts
for the anxiety which has been manifested to have
the child identified. Mr. Hill entered amuse some mouths
ago in the Divorce Court, and should the issue be that
he obtained a judicial separation from his wife, the two
questions of the paternity and identity of the child
would occupy the attention of the lawyers. It is stated
that there are circumstances which cannot be strewn
until the cue comes before the Divorce Court.
That there is some explanation in respect to this
long lost child which has not yet come before
the public, seems clear from the fact, that
the brother of Mrs. Hill—Lieut.-Colonel Burdett—
offered himself as bail for the prisoner. The stories
which have been told of Mr. Hill having come
into England from Brussels, disguised and in secret, have
their origin in the prolific imagination of one of the keenest
"penny-a-liners" of the metropolitan press. During the
whole of the week, preceding his arrest, he was in London,
mid undisguised. His object in disguising himself with
the black whiskers and moustache, was not to prevent arrest,
either for debt or perjury ; but his friends and himself my,
with afar more honourable and praiseworthy object, that
of seeing his wife without her knowing him, in come-
querce of the determined and repeated refusals on her pert
to allow him to speak to her."

THE GRAVE OF "L E. L."

TO TIT =WOO Of SET MITTIML
Sts, —ln last Thursday's Express I observed a
letter from Dr. N'lVinism, late of the Niger Expeditiou,
on the subject of "L It. L.'s." pave at Cape Coast Cantle.
Allow me to explain the apparent iacondsteney betwese
his statements and those contained in the from
the Express, to which he Wen. In that paragraph it was
stated that until lately there was nothing to mark the spot
when "L. E. L" was buried, but that a marble cross has
now been placed over her grave by the governor of Cape
Coast Castle. Dr. N'William, en the contrary, siesres
that he himself visited the spot away years ago, saw the
marble tablet erected by Govensor Moslem to hie wife's
memory, and copied therefrom the Latin inscription which
he quotes in the letter referred to. Now, these statements
Sr. both correct. A glance at the locale ri the burying
ground of Cape Coast Castle will explain the seeming- die.
wormy. The British officers who die there (and, alas I
thew name is legion) lie buried within the area of the castle
walls, under the burning flagstones of the parade ground •
and amongst those lies "L. E. L." The tablet referred
to is inserted, of course, in the castle wall. But still, one
might be at a loss to discover the exact spot on that level
area under which rest the ashes of the poetess • hence, I
believe, the kindly and considerate act on the Part of the
present governor of inserting in the pavement over the
grave a white marble crone, with the simple. Inscription,
"L.E. L. Judging, however, from the teeinsony of one
who has also visited the sacred spot, Umlaute' of "L. E. L,"
was from the Mut distinguishrd by ten red Wee placed over
It. These, however, being uninecribed, might sadly escape

FLOATING THE GREAT EASTERN OFF THE

GRIDIRON AT NRYLAND.

It having been determined to float tho Great
Eastern on Tuesday last, preliminary preparations for the
purpose commenced on Monday. A number of seamen,
stokers, he., arrived on that and preceding days. Steam
was got up, and the eagles@ tested. She floated
ea Monday, the tide having risen satisfactorily. On
Tuesday Captain Islay, the Queen's pilot, was
actively engaged all day in arranging and perfecting
his plans, which Meg before high water were satisfactorily
consummated. Two little steamers—the havenboata—were
attached to the larboard bow, and for some time laboured
hard to divert her head southwardly. As this was acoom-
Oohed her various ponderous mooring chains—those which
had effectually secured and preserved her during one of the
most tempestuous winters that has been experienced in
Milked Haven for years past—were gradually and satia.
faciceily slackened, and ultimately let go, and at the
precise momeet—the period of time when the tide was at its
height, when it was neither flowing up nor running down,
when it had no influence in propelling her one way nor
another, when everyone thought she was fixed for at least
another tide—that experienced pilot (chewing vigorously,
erg the cud of bitter disappointment, but his bit o' hooey,
as none can more vigorously do when be has an important
service to perform) enunciated his commands for "all to let
go," "turn ahead." " port your helm," " gently starboard.'s
As if be had a four-cared gig to navigate, he passes the
Own rocks, rounds the Weir Point, and runs the gigantic
fabric to a position off Milford in the most satisfactory, the
moat efficient manner possible. She is to lay there and
receive coals and cargo, and will must probably leave for
New York on or about the 16th of May, sear which time,
when fitted and furnished for ass, she will be a source
again of universal Wreathe and Interest.

A WELL-EARNED TESTIMONIAL.

Yesterday a testimonial of a novel character was
presented to three of the easplopfe of the London end South
Western Railway at the Waterko terminus. The recipients
were the englne-driver, stoker and one of the gouda of the
direct Portsmouth train to which an accident occurred on
the 2Stli of January lest, when the lamented Dr. Daly lost
hie life, and the subscribes were chiefly season-ticket bold-
er' on this favourite line of railway. The testimonials
consisted of a silver watch by Barraud, with an appropriate
iimcnptioo and a perm of sovereigns breach man. The presen-
tation took place by permiseirm of the directors in the board-
room, where Captain /Langlee, the chairman, sod Mr.
Crombie and Mr. Scott, the secretary and manager of the
railway, met a deputation from the subsoriben at five
o'clock. The three men—Elijah Cook, the engine-driver,
Matthew Mathew, the gust, sal John Robinson, the
stoker—having been called is, Mr. Jai:min. on the part of
t:hition, addressed them in a few judicious remarks,
that the subscribers had felt much pleasure in
gto a fund which was simply intended to mark
their seas of the great presence of mind exhibited by them
under circumstances of great difficulty and danger. With
11 watches, Cook, the rimer, and Mathews, the guard,
would each receive a purse containing 461. ; and to Robin-
son, the stoker, a watch and 241. had been apportioned.
Captain Mangles desired to express his own and his or.
I ilre<tors' appreciation of the good services of these men,
and his approval of the handaonie manner in which their
conduct had been rewarded b_y the subscribers to this some-
what novel teatimoolel. The presentation having been
completed, Cook, the driver, as spokesman, mid that him-
self and his mates felt very highly complimented by the
handsome premeds made to them. They certainly did not
themselves feel to have deserved any such acknowledgment ;
hut the gentlemen present might rely that such generous
recognition of a niece act of duty would prove an incentive
to future good conduct on their part. It was incidentally
mentioned that only one life US been lost on this line of
railway out of five millions of psissogen conveyed during
the past twelve months.
