HAMBURG, SEPT. 28, 1836.
N.. 5 UR Friends, and all those who may have to write
to us, are requested to be particular in directing,
HEINE BROTHERS, in HAMBURG,
and to observe, that a letter with ono inclosure doubles the Postage
only, but several inclosures would by far increase the same. Thus
101., 201., or 301., for instance, if remitted in One Bank of Eng-
land would only cause double Postage, but 101. remitted in
two notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there-
fore most advisable, for any Person having to remit Money to Ham-
burgh, to forward the amount in One Note; or having to receive
Money from Hamburgh, to receive the same in One Note, when-
ever possible. Of course remittances from Hamburgh to England,
surpassing the usual amount of One Bank of England Note, may
rather be made in Bills of Exchange, on London.
To save expenses that may as well be avoided, we request our
Correspondents not to overlook these particulars.
HEINE BROTHERS.

LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 11, 1836.

'e have this day the satisfaction of laying before
our readers the quarterly account of the Revenue. It

affords great cause for public congratulation. The
quarterly increase in the Customs is within a couple of
hundred pounds of one million, and the increase on the
year in this one branch of the public income no less
than 1,758,705/. In the Excise there has been a
diminution of 145,3461. on the quarter, but on the
year an increase of 606,9761. Stamps exhibit an in-
crease both on the quarter and the year, viz., 73,5371.
on the one, 291,215/. on the other. Taxes show a
decrease of 20,233/. on the quarter, and 63,250/. on the
year. The revenue from the Post-office has increased
27,000/. on the quarter-90,0001. on the year. Under
the head " Miscellaneous," there is a small decrease
of 24,204/. in the year, and 10,273/. on the quarter.
The general result is, an increase of 1,202,311/. on
the quarter, and 2,815,147/. on the year.
The above statement cannot fail to gratify every true
friend of his country. We see the strongest evidence
that can be presented to the mind of man, that our national
resources are developing themselves to an extent that
would have been, and was, pronounced chimerical by
those who are better versed in grinding down the people
with oppressive burdens, and curtailing their liberties,
than in fostering their halustry, and protecting
their rights. This flourishing state of the country
is, we know, a bitter pill for the Tories.
They would have been much better pleased to see
every thing going to wreck and ruin in the State, be-
cause they sink every other consideration in the one
great—the paramount object, of getting into power.
Only seat them on the Treasury Benches, and they
care not at what expence.

" Get wealth and power, if possible, with grace;
If not--by any means get wealth and place,"
is a maxim from which they never swerve, except,
perhaps, in so far as they prefer the latter alternative.
With what an evil eye they, look upon the national
prosperity so prominently brought under their optics
by the periodical statements of the Revenue, may be
gathered from the way in which their organs allude to it.
Some of them, indeed, have the good taste not to offend
the public by expressing their real sentiments, and
pretend to be quite in extacies at the actual state and
future prospects of the country. We find " great
satisfaction," " highly gratifying statement," " nation
advancing in prosperity," and similar expressions of de-
light and hope, dancing through the leading article of one
Tory Contemporary this morning ; while another sees
on the face of the official account " nothing indicative
of any declining prosperity !"—kindly hinting at the
same time that there are means by which public ac-
counts may be falsified. What would this sagacious
gentleman not give to believe his own charitable in-
sinuations !

The Reformers of Bridgewater gave a grand dinner

on Thursday last, to Colonel TYNTE and Mr. LEA-
DER, the Members for that Borough. There was on
this occasion very strong evidence of what the Tories
are pleased to denominate re-action—that is to say, the
meeting, which consisted of almost all the respectable
merchants and traders of Bridgewater, unanimously
voted the House of Lords a nuisance, and were equally
unanimous in declaring their opinion that the said nui-
sance must be abated, and that speedily.
Colonel TYNTE, on his health being drunk, oh-

served that Peerage Reform was a subject, the discus-
sion of which it was impossible for any meeting at the
present day to avoid. Never was a juster observation

made than this. But that is not all—it is also a most
important and cheering truth, for it indicates
as surely as the needle points to the pole, the accom-
plishment of the great object which now occupies the
national mind. To suppose that a subject is so en-
grossing—so exclusively engages the thoughts of
men, that no meeting, great or small, can take place
at which it does not form the prominent topic of dis-
cussion ; and to suppose, at the same time, that this
working of the
general intellect and expression of the
general will are to have no results—would be a more
monstrous absurdity than ever yet crossed the bewil-
dered brain of a Tory. In cases like this there can
be no mistake—the Vox Pop& and the Vox Dei ale
synonimous terms.

We are much pleased with another remark which
fell from the Hon. Gentleman. While speaking of
the House of Lords, Mr. TYNTE said that the Lordly
Incapablcs had completely lost the respect of the people
since they had surrendered themselves to the direction
of " two such mercenary, unprincipled, andfiagitious
polit►cians as Lord LYNDHURST and the Bishop of
EXETER." The grouping in this little sketch is
singularly happy. We have not " the counter-
feit presentment" of the two brothers ; but the
par ignobile fratrum cheek by jowl, and hit off
to the life. Mercenary !--unprincipled !

tious ! ! \V hat a beautiful climax I Law and Di-
vinity have at last done something for the people, who
have done a great deal for them—they have paved
the way for Peerage Reform, by making the Peers
odious and contemptible in the public sight.
Mr. LEADER, the other Member for the borough,
was no less ardent in the good cause. The mo-
ment he began to speak of introducing a sys-
tem of responsible representation into the House of
Lords, the most deafening cheers testified that he had
touched the true chord on which hung the sympathies
of the people of Bridgewater.
Having thus ingratiated himself with his audience,
Mr. LEADER, proceeded to lay before his constituents
an account of his conduct during the last session of
Parliament, expressing, at the same time, his satisfac-
tion (as we sincerely do ours) at the newly established
practice of the Representative rendering an account
to the Represented. Until we get short Parliaments—
and the period cannot be very far distant—this is the
best substitute that we know of.

The following passage, with which Mr. LEADER
concluded his admirable speech, affords so good a rule
for the conduct of Reformers, and is so much calculated
to keep up the true spirit, by the influence of which
the cause of Reform is destined to triumph, that we can-
not refrain from giving it circulation in our pages :
" He had devoted himself to the cause of Reform, and
wherever he had connections or sure friends, wherever
he had property or influence, wherever he could with
propriety present himself to a public meeting, where-
ever he had a right to speak on political or local affairs,
in the north or in the south, in the east or in the west,
at Montrose and at Bristol, in East Surrey and in West
Somerset, there should his best efforts be made to pro-
mote Reform ; there should his voice be heard upholding
the rights of the people, and maintaining the superiority
of the responsible representative system over the here-
ditary irresponsible form of government." This was fol-
lowed by loud cheers, which continued for some minutes.

We direct the attention of our readers to a commu-
nication from Dublin, which will be found in another
part of The Sun, under the head " Rebellion-Ruf-
fians." Our Correspondent vouches for the truth of
his statements, which afford another illustration of the
accursed tithe-system under which Ireland labours,
and which the Conservatives are still striving their ut-
most to maintain in all its rigour. We take for granted
that the aggravated case mentioned in this communi-
cation will be promptly investigated by the civil autho-
rities in Ireland.

The gallant bearing of the British Legion, in the
action of the Ist instant, is the subject of universal
eulogy in the city this morning. The warmest sup-
porters of the cause of Don CARLOS bear willing tes-
timony to the prowess of a body of troops whom they
had hitherto regarded as mere mercenaries, alike desti-
tute of the courage and discipline of soldiers. The
efficiency of the Legion was proved by the action of
the sth of May ; it has now received the only confir-
mation of which it is capable. Had the discipline of
the Legion been in the relaxed state represented by
the Correspondents of the Herald and the Post, the
men would never have sustained an attack so well con-
trived, so ably directed, and continued for so many
hours. We admit that very little real advantage has
been gained by this battle, beyond establishing the
fact of the Legion's equality with an equal number of
regular British troops, and the shedding of a
gloom over the prospects of Don CARLOS ;
but no person can blame the brave men of
the Legion, or its distinguished' General for this.
They did all that it was possible for so limited a force
to do under the, circumstances. They defeated the
Carlists ; and if they did not follow up their victory
by an attack upon Irun, Hernani, or Fuentarabia, the
reason is, because the capture of fortresses, for which
they could not spare garrisons, would avail them

nothing.
We cannot express in sufficiently strong terms, the
indignation with which we have learned that the two
thousand three hundred troops drawn from the garrison
of San Sebastian, to intercept the march of the Carlist
Chief, SANZ, into the Asturias, instead of being
landed at Gijon, within a few leagues of Oviedo, were
actually landed at Santona by command of General
IRIARTE, there to act as a coast-guard for Santander !
We begin to suspect that treason in the QUEEN'S
army was not confined to General CORDOVA ; and
that before the termination of the war, it will be disco-
vered that Spain owed the long continuance of the
sanguinary struggle to the treachery of the Generals
charged with important commands under the Consti-
tutional flag. In the present instance of gross misma-
nagement, the appearances are very suspicious. When
the British Legion at St. Sebastian is menaced by
VILLA II EA r. and the whole strength of th eCarlist army,
an order is addressed to the General in command,
for the sudden and unexpected removal of one
fourth of his whole force to the Asturias, there
to await the approach of a rebel detachment of three
thousand men. In the mean time no doubt exists as to
the certainty of an attack upon a garrison, thus weakened
and disheartened, by an enemy superior in numbers,
flushed with confidence, and neither deficient in courage,
nor ignorant of military tactics. No sooner, however,
does the force destined to intercept the rebels leave the
garrison, than its destination is changed—the rebels
are left to march unmolested whithcrsocvor they will ;
and the remainder of the garrison are unnecessarily
exposed to the chance of certain destruction.

We recommend General EVANS to remain inactive
or to act only on the defensive, till Rom', makes his
appearance in the vicinity of Don CARLOS' head
quarters. He ought not wantonly to sport with the
lives of his men, by sallies which can neither improve
his own condition, nor add to the discomfiture of the
enemy.

Lisbon mails to the 3d inst. have arrived ; but we
are vet unacquainted with more than their general
purport. They state that the capital continues pet.
fectly tranquil ; that the Cabinet is unchanged ; and
that no attempt has been made to re-establish the
charter of Don PEDIto for the Constitution. The
QUEEN and PRINCE ROYAL enjoy excellent health,
and are, apparently, reconciled to the new aspect of
affairs in the Peninsula.

Kennington-common is at present the rendezvous of
the most abandoned women of the town, who insult respectable
modest females, and prove a great nuisance. The police seem
to think their duty does not require interference in abuses of
this description.

A Court of Inquiry has been sitting from day to clay
since the 28th ult., in the Mess-room of the Royal Marine bar-
racks at Chatham, in consequence of certain insinuations made
by a private and some non-commissioned officers of the 80th
Regiment, relative to a Captain of the Royal Marines. The
Court is composed of the following officers :—Col. Pasley,
C. 8., Royal Engineers, President ; Lieut.-Col. Wea!e,
C. B. ; Lieut.- Col. Lawrence, C. 8., Royal Marines ; Major
Cole, Royal Marines; and Major Maclean, 41st Regiment._

On Saturday evening last, while two men, named
Jonathan Clark and William Bond, journeymen bakers, in the
employment of Mr. Clark, a master-baker in East Smithfield,
were engaged in clearing out the rubbish, upon which the
arches of two new ovens had been recently erected, at 67,
Parson's-street, Wellomo-spare, the brickwork overhead
gave way and buried them beneath a ponderous mass of bricks,
mortar, and rubbish, Clark was quite dead ; but Bond, hay.
ing exhibited some slight symptoms of life, was removed with-
out delay to the London Hospital, bat long before be bad
reached that institution he was a corpse.

It is rumoured that more than one vacancy will

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(THIS DAY.)

BOW-STREET.
A LARK. —Captain Clement Hill, of the Horse Guards, a
nephew of Lord Hill, was broutht before Mr. MINSIIULL
and Mr. HALLs, charged with assaulting Daniel Giles a cab-
man, and a policeman in the execution of his duty.
The prosecutor deposed that about half-past 12 last night
he was in King William-street with his cab. He saw the
defendant, and five or six other gentlemen, who all appeared
to be officers, on the pavement. One of them called out to
him, " Who are you ?" He made no answer; and then
another called out, " Who, or how, is your mother ?" He
said, " That can be of no consequence to you ;" when he
was struck from behind. On turtling round he saw it
was the defendant who had struck him with a stick or
cane. He made another cut at him, and witness put
up his hand to ward off the blow; the cane struck him
on the nail of a finger, and made the blood start.
Witness had not given anv other provocation whatever. He
had distinctly stated all which passed. A policeman came ❑p
and took the defendant into custody.
Two persons, who were passing at the time, gave the same
account of the affair. They did not see the cab-man give any
provocation whatever.

Police constable 115 F saw the defendant strike the cab-
man with his cane, and seized him. The defendant then gave
the cane to one of his friends, and struck witness right nod
left on the bead. The blows were very severe. Another
constable came up, and with his assistance he was taken to the
station-house.

Giles said the defendant, in order to get rid of him, had
poked the horse under the belly so much that ho kicked and
broke the splash-board.
The Captain said he and six of his friends were returning
from the Adelphi Theatre; as they were going along the
complainant drove up against him, and walked on alongside
of him, plying for hire. As his own cab was following he
told him to be off; and as he would not do so, but was inso-
lent, he struck him twice on the hat with his cane. The
friends who were with him had been obliged to go down to
Hounslow, or they would have proved his statement. With
respect to the assault on the policeman. He had struck him,
but not before telling him of it. The fact was, the policeman
seized him by the breast in a very rough manner. He (de-
fendant) said, " Don't do that, and I will walk quietly along
to the station-house, but I will not walk through the streets
like a thief." He refused to let him go, and he struck him.
His friends could have proved all that, but being on duty they
could not come up.
A gentleman volunteered his evidence. He had been at
the theatre and was going up King William-street, a little in
advance of the defendant and his friends. He saw the cabman
pull over towards them, and his firm opinion was that if the
cabman bad not interfered with the gentlemen, they would not
have spoken to him. _ _

The Magistrate told the defendant that he would adjourn
the case if he pleased till his friends could attend.
The defendant thought it was a trifling case, and he would
not trouble them. He would rather have it settled then.
Mr. MINSTITTLL said the cabman might be allowed to with-
draw the charge, if he pleased to bring an action. None of the
fine could go into his pocket.
Giles preferred having the matter settled then and there,
Mr. MINSHULL said his opinion upon the evidence before
them was that the assaults both upon the cabman and the po-
liceman were most unprovoked, and if his colleague joined him
he would fine the defendant in the highest penalty allowed by
the law, that was 5/. for each assault.

Mr. HALLS concurred. As the evidence stood he thought
it proper that the Magistrates should mark their sense of the
improper conduct of the defendant.

The Captain then wrote an order upon Cox and Co., his
agents, for 10/. It having been accepted, he declared upon
his honour that the statement he had made was true, and would
have been proved if his friends could have attended.
Mr. MINsneLL said his opinion was that the case for the pro-
secution had been conducted in the fairest manner of any
within his experience. The conduct of the prosecutor and
policeman had been most proper.
Captain Hill—Then, by implication, mine was bad.
The MAGISTRATES (laughing)—We say nothing upon that
head. The fines imposed show our sense of it.
The Captain then clapped his hat on his head, and marched off.

TOWN-HALL.
John Smith and James Williams were this morning brought
before Mr. Alderman LUCAS, charged by James Andrews, a
police constable of the M division, with having stolen a pair of
boots from the shop of Mr. Towell, a shoe-rrkaker, 238, High-
street.

Andrews stated, that last night he was i n the Borough in
plain clothes, where he saw the two prisoners, whom he knew
to be thieves, prowling about ; he watched them, and saw
Williams, when opposite Mr. Towell's shop, jump up, take
down a pair of boots, and run off. Witness pursued him, and
George Vicars, another police constable, ran after Smith.
One boot was found on one of the prisoners, and the other on
the other.

Williams stated that he picked up the boots, and was in the
act of taking them to Smith when the policeman took him into
custody.

Smith said he was trying on the boot when he was taken.
Mr. Alderman LUCAS—Yes, you have been trying it on too
long ; you must now try and get off, by making a jury, if you
can, believe what you have stated.
The prisoners were then fully committed.
Sergeant Logan, of the M division of police, stated that
the prisoners had been convicted before at the Surrey Sessions,
and sent to Brixton for three months, from which place they
had only been released a few days.
