The (:lobo brings further accounts of the disorderly:
proceedings in Tarifa. It is re-stated, that the coo,
tending parties are not divided by political opinions.
M. Vides is so decidedly a Progiesista, that, in 1836.
he put down the Moderates who were then in porter.
I-le continues il!, is confined, and shamefully treated
and insulted by the Militiamen in whose custody he is ;
nor has he any great chance of recovering his lihert)„
though supported by a large majority of the inhabitants,.
because the majority, in Tarila as almost everywhere.
is timid, and the minority daring and abetted by the
authorities. The article now before us, was written on
the 10th day of the disturbances; and the elections
were still suspended ; and, the night before, the clad-
piers had again been at work.
In Cadiz, the Military Commandant, at a loss hoir to
maintain the garrison, has applied to the capitalists of
the place, but in vain : he has only been able to obtain
3,000 and odd dollars, Government being generally con-
sidered as representing, not the interests of all, but
those of a faction, to which the powerful and influential
class that might have come to its assistance, does not
belong.
But the garrison of Cadiz is not the only one that is
in danger of starving with hunger and cold : the rest of
the army is oot better off, according to the INfivirld cor-
respondent of the Globe.; and the Minister of Pi noes,
whom he had stated to be at a nonplus in his preceding
letter, is not likely to find the means of feeding and
clothing the thousands and tens of thousands whom km
could wish to dismiss, but whom some of his colleagues
(General Espartero in partiCular) insist upon retaining
in the service of a country which cannot afford to pay
them.—Gibraltar Chronicle of Dec. 30.

Wakley said that it was really astonishing to think of the
number of inquest, he held on children who were burned
to death, and which more frequently occurred in the fami-
lies of poor people. lle should strongly advise the removal
of all mantel pieces from the habitations of such persons,
for the accidents generally happened through the children
seeing on and trying to reach therefrom something which
attracted their attention.
Mr. Stikeman, the Secretary of the East India
and China Association, has prepared a comparative state-
ment of the number of British ships, with their tonnage,
entered into, and cleared outwards, from and to places
within the limits of the East India Company's charter, in
the yea, s 18:39 and 1840. By this statement it appears
that the tonnage inwards for 1839 was 246,758; and in
1840, 935,440, which shows a decrease of 11,319;
and the ships were 640 for 1839, while they were
599 for 1840, giving a decrease of 48. In
1839, the ships entering the London port were
403, and in 1840 they were 404; this is a decrease of 59.
Liverpool show an increase of five, the
138, and for 1840, 143. The ton.
iBn4go was 359,567, which, as compared

with 1630, which was 279.322, gave an increase for the
former period of 80,235. The number of ships entered
outwards was 932 for 1840, and 708 for 1539, being an
increase of 224.
