THE NEW SERGEANT.—We have the greatest
satisfaction in announcing that Mr. Richard Moore is the new
Sergeant. In professional standing Mr. Moore is eminently
entitled to the highest legal station ; but upon other grounds
ins appointment will afford much gratification to the public as
Well as to the sound-thinking portion of the Bar.—Dublin
Evening Post.
We have reason to believe, that at the present
Moment a vast number of Bank of England notes are in circu-
lation in this district of the kingdom, and the traffic in base
"in aPpear's also to be carried on to an equally serious extent.
---Birmingham Advertiser.

trona Monaghan this morning, the Noble Lord was much better
yesterday.—Morning Chronicle.

LONDON:
MONDAY, MAY 18, 1840.

We gave on Saturday an account of the financial
measures proposed by the CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER, and shall no•,v state our opinion of
them.

Hitherto it has been one of the great, if not the
very greatest merits of the Whigs, that they re-
duced expenditure, and diminished taxation. This
was the redeeming topic to which their advocates
always referred most triumphantly when any con-
trast was instituted between them and the Tories,
and when any invidious doubt was thrown on their
patriotism. Even so late as Saturday the Globe
published a statement, which we willingly repro-
duce, of the savings of the Whigs :

By the tables printed by order of Parliament in pur-
suance of Mr. Herrics' motion, is shown the aluital reve-
nue and expendilnre of the two Governments. Kir the
last four years of each the account stands thus :
Last 4 years of Tory government.... £206,( 97,940
Last 4 years of Whig government 190,739,895

Whig saving in four years
In addition to this the Whigs relieved the count!), in
taxation to the amount of the boasted Tory surplus ;
which, in the language of the Post, " places in a strong
light
.the contrast between the practical reselts" of the
