140NDON, TIIrRSDAY MORNIINIG, .MAY 27, 1847.

This was'ale beau ideal of the fiscal theory, and six
months after the falling off in the receipts was so enor-
mous that a new resolution was come to. The Council
o Five Hundred, considering that the service of the
Post-office presented a deficit in its receipts, compared
with its expenses, absolutely ruinous to the Treasury,
arid that it was as urgent as useful to ameliorate the pro-
duce of this service, raised the weight of the single letter
from a quarter to a half ounce (15 gr. in place of 7i gr.),
and reduced the postage in this way:-
Ist distance, 50 leagues, from 21. 10 sous to 6 sous.
2d ~ 100 /11 sf. to 10 „
3d „ 150 /9 7f. 50 sons to 14 „
4th „ above 10f. to 18 „
From that period to 1827 we could mention other
charges, but all have rather referred to new classific-
Lions of distance than any serious changes in the post-
age. To sum up, the tariff has been changed eig:3
times from 1791 to 1827, and if any one wishes to ub
serve the progress realised, nut only since the end of the
18th century, but since the edict of 1673, he must com-
pare the postage of a single letter sent to the greatest
distance (above 900 kilometres), under the empire of the
tariffs which have suceedett each other for the last 150
years:—

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

(From The Sun of Las;, Night.)
The sales or Cotton at Liverpool ) es+ erday were 5,000
balhs, and prices were firm. American ord. *did mid.

sorts were quoted per lb. higher than on Friday last,
and all ether kinds were at extreme rat s.—ln Shares
there was a further improvement. A good demand
existed tor Midland, North Stafford, and York and
Newcastle.

Corn still falls in the provinces as well as here, and
the advicts horn New York received this morning, al-
though but one day later, intimate that holders of flour
were rather anxious to realise, and that freights were
low. As regards the latter circumstance, it necessarily
arises from the canals not having opened, but if holders
were anxious to realise before the supplies arrived, what
rcay we not expect when they are poured down to the
Atlantic seaboard, as some anticipated.
If the subjoined statement from the New I'rice Current
be correct, and no doubt there are plenty of similar
instances in other parts of the country, our home sup-
plies will be large yet. The writer observes:—
'` It is estimated, that as soon as the arrivals com-
mence, which will be very shortly, from St. Petersburgh
and Canada, added to those known to be on the passage
from Odessa and the United States, &c., the imp..rts,
including flour, will not be less than equal to 100,000
quarters we. kly. This is irrespective of the supplies in
the taimers' hands, which, from all we have been able
to learn, are quite ads quate to meet our wants until the
harvest commenees. It may be interesting to our readers
to know the very moderate views which some of the
farmers entertain as to a remunerative price for wheat;
for example, a gentleman farmer near Norwich, of the
name of Blake, bas stored up in his granaries his
erops of wheat for the last seven years, and has deter-
mined not to sell until he can obtain 150 s. per
quarter. Another farmer, Mr. Plaxton, in Essex,
has three years' crop still for sale. For the in-
formatii,n of farmers and speculators, and as a
caution to the millers and bakers, who literally
only from ha,:d to mouth, we subjoin a statement of the
prices ut grain in the famine year 1800, showing the,
wheat tell in price, within one mouth, from 120 s. to 40s.

Does not this simple comparison relieve us from the task

Intelligence has been received from the Island of
Bourbon up to the 231 February. The financial
crisis had become aggravated, in cousequence of
the bad weather, which had continued 35 days with-
out interruption, had compromised the sugar canes,
and completely destroyed the plantations of vivrieres.
There was an absolute want of specie; the sums
paid cut by the Treasury to the garrison Here imme-
diately conveyed to India or the Archipelago for
the aequisltion of rice and cattle. In consequence
of the rains, which had caused the rivers to overflow,
ruined cultivation, and interrupted all communications
for several days; the colony suffered most severely
from the want of prov:sions. This deplorable state
of things may be ascribtd to many causes, but es-
pecially to the interruption of commercial relations
with Madagascar. Formerly the great portion of
rice and cattle required by the colony were ob-
tained from that island by means of exchanges,
hut at present they have to be procured from India,
here they have to be paid for in money. The
Colonial Council, which had been prorogued on ac-
count of the violence of its discussions, had resumed
its sittings. The Government had submitted to it
several drafts of decrees destined to assure the
execution of the law of July, 1845, but the party of re-
sistance seemed disposed to reject that absolutely.
The question of delegation was expected to receive a
solution in the course of the month of March, but on
that matter, as on all others, the Colonial Council
was divided, without there being any hope that the
two parties would accept any means of conciliation.
GANNERON, the banker, died on Monday.
A letter from Toulon, of the 20th, says—
There is at this moment a great bustle in our road-
stead, as the squadron under the command of the Prince
de Joinville is taking in its stores; and orders have been
given for it to be reaf'y to sail by the 234 inst., but if, is
not supptisvd that it will be ready before the end of the
month. It is reported here that the squadron is to pro-
ceed to the L•evant, but• this report stands in need o:
confirmation. By art order of the Minister of War,
atthirty Arab prisoners who are here have just be n set

The table proves this clearly enough, and we expect.
that cn:►ny will "be wise in time," according to the
a&ig that a '." bird in the hand is worth two in the
wish," and that a "-nimble ninepence is better than a
;low shilling." We should think that even farmer!
must be able tocalculate the loss of interest upon capital
locked up for seven years, and which by improvement,
on the land, &c., might possibly have been inereesrd
two-thirds in that time.

the " options," up to the hour of our writing, have not

Hallway Shares have still rather a firm and improving
appearance, and the dullness of trade may throw more
surplus money int the market.
