shall now proceed to examine the various items in
detail, and to show where the great falling off has
been, and where improvements have taken place.
It was well known that the Chinese pay-
ments had terminated ; the deficiency in that
respect, therefore, can occasion no surprise.
The repayments of advances, although an extraordi-
nary branch of the revenue, being merely the liquida-
tion of debts due to the nation by parties to whom
sums had been lent for the purpose of effecting
works which it was desirable to have carried on, still
may be regarded as exhibiting in some degree the
general inability of debtors to discharge their liabili-
ties. The Crown possesses extraordinary facilities
for enforcing payment from its debtors, and if we sup-
pose that about the same amount of instalments
would have fallen due as in the preceding year, by no
means an extravagant conjecture, considering the large
advances that have been made, the decrease in these
payments would strongly indicate the extreme
monetary pressure and difficulties under which the
country has laboured within the past year.
We shall now take the ordinary sources of revenue.
The first branch, the Customs, shows the receipt,
within the past year, of 18,015,2981., while that of
the preceding year amounted to 18,310,8651., thus
showing a deficiency under this head on the entire
year of 295,567/.; that on the quarter, however,
amounts to no less than 402,8591., while the defi-
ciency on the quarter ending the 10th October last
amounted to 374,1911. We, therefore, find on
these two quarters a deficiency of no less than
777,050/., while on the former quarters there
had been an increase of nearly 480,0001. This may
be looked upon as the result of the compulsory mea-
sures adopted by the Bank to enforce the importation
of gold into the country. The Bank returns will
show the great increase of bullion that has taken
place in their vaults. Under the monetary laws
now, unhappily, in force the actual property of
the nation must be sacrificed to obtain that specie
to lie idle and unproductive in the Bank coffers, while
the importation of other articles that would give em-
ployment to the working classes is checked. The
next great branch, the second largest in the
amount it produces, the most important of
all, as it may be considered the barometer
of national prosperity, which indicates the degree of
comfort or luxury enjoyed by the great mass of the
population, shows a still more painful result ; the
falling off on the year amounting to no less than
790,5041., and on the present quarter 361,2721., while
on the quarter ending the 10th October, it amounted
to 641,980/. ; the deficiency on the last half
of the year, amounting to 1,003,2521., while during
the former portion there was an increase of nearly
213,000/. The other branches under which deficits
may be discovered are the Crown Lands and Miscel-
laneous; the former showing a decrease on the year
of 43,000/., while there is an increase of 10,0001. on
the quarter, and the latter exhibiting a deficiency of
132,1641. on the year, and of 17,9111. on the quarter.
These, however, are matters of less importance, the
two paramount objects being the Customs and Excise.

The other branches of the Revenue show a slight
improvement. Taxes—an increase of 62,1531. on the
year, and 4,8841. on the quarter ; the Property-tax,
strange to say, an increase of 55,4101. on the year,
and of 12,3481. on the quarter. We fear, however,
that this branch of the Revenue will present a less
favourable aspect on the next return. The Post-
office, thanks to the energy and zeal of
RowLAND HILL, and the successful results
of his system of a cheap and uniform
postage is also improved by 48,000/. on the year, and
5,0001. on the quarter ; while Stamps present an
increase on the year of 28,1321., but a sad falling off
on the quarter of 175,8321., which may be accounted
fur by the high rate of interest maintained, and the
extreme difficulty of obtaining discounts, which led
to a great diminution in the amount of bills of
exchange in circulation—another proof, if any such
were required, of the depressed state of our trade
and commerce.

The total income for the year amounts to 48,397,5661.,
for the quarter to 11,665,3581., to which if the final
in,talment of the Irish loan, 575,774/., be added, it
will appear that the total income for the quarter is
12,250,729/., while the total charge is 7,207,6321., leav-
ing a surplus income for the quarter of 5,043,0971., to
which if the amount of surplus on the 10th of October
of 729,195/. be added, it will leave a gross surplus of
5,772,292/. ; from this, however, the sum of
4,889,7441., being the amount issued during the
quarter in part of the sums granted by Parliament for
Supply Services, must be deducted; the surplus of
cue Consolidated Fund will therefore amount to
882,5481.

Satisfactory steps are at length being taken to de-
monstrate whether or not any denunciations have been
uttered from the altar steps of the Catholic Chapel cf
Strokestown, by the Very Reverend MICHAEL
M'DERMOTT, the Venerable Archdeacon of Elphin.
A document, subscribed by twenty- eight respectable
inhabitants of Strokestown, and published by our-
elves in another column, asseverates in the most
solemn manner imaginable—distinctly, deliberately,
and explicitly asseverates—the innocence of the ac-
cused clergyman. " We hereby declare," says this
document, " we hereby declare, without fear of con-
tradiction, and hold ourselves in readiness to confirm
this our solemn declaration by our sworn affidavits in
any court of justice, that we have been invariably
in the habit of attending at Mass on all
Sundays and holy days in the year, in the chapel of
Strokestown—that we have a distinct recollection of
,ur having heard mass in the 'chapel of Strokestown,
on Monday, the let day of November, called All
faints' Day, being the day before Major MAHON
\vas murdered, and that the Very Rev. MICHAEL
ArDERMOTT, our parish priest, did not open his lips
to address one word to his flock on that day. We
(Luther unhesitatingly declare that we never heard
the Very Rev. MICHAEL. M'DERMOTT, on Sunday, or
nolyday, or saints'-day, or any other day, on which he
ever addressed his flock from the altar, to denounce
the late Major Mairosi, or to express the words attri-
buted to him in the reported speech of Lord
FARNHAM, or any such words, or any words of a
,imilar import or meaning." This is precisely the
contradiction which has been desired by Lord FARN-
LIAM himself, required by Lord BEAUMONT, solicited
by Lord ARUNDEL and SURREY, demanded by Lord
SHREWSBURY, and which ourselves and our Contem-
poraries have, again and again, insisted upon as
essential to the cause of truth and justice, and as
necessary for the removal of a frightful stigma from
he whole of the devoted priesthood, and the dis-
tinguished hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church in
Ireland. A definite charge was made against the
Archdeacon of ELPHIN ; he was accused of having
made an incendiary alusion to Major MAHON the
very day bef ,re that lamented gentleman's ass ssina-
zion ; he was reported to have denounced that land.
lord to his peasantry before the very altar consecrated
to the rites of Christianity, and while he himself was
still clothed in the vestments of his religion ; nay the
very syllables he was said to have articulated
were declared to have been these—" This man
is worse than CROMWELL and yet he lives !" Here
therefore was a plain and even detailed accusation ;
it required a simple and decisive refutation before the
parish priest of Strokestown could be exonerated from
all indirect participation or moral complicity in the
dismal and atrocious crime which had so recently
rendered the locality notorious. Instead of this,
Father M'DERMOTT on the 7th ultimo pens a letter
of such a violent character, that Lord FARNHAM i 5
induced to observe on the 16th ultimo, while address-
ing, the Rouse of Lords, that the reply appears to him
, mtuordebrrTbted s
hecotrhrroouogrhaout the
thathes letterpiritof incitementno wis by th
toe
document signed by twenty-eight parishioners of
Strokestown, we can perceive the full force of the
emphatic declaration of Mr. MiDaamorr—"l have
now to assure the public, by the most solemn asseve-
rations a clergyman can utter, that the late Major
MAHON was never denounced, nor even his name
mentioned, from any chapel altar in Strokestown, or
within twenty miles of Strokestown, in any direction,
on any Sunday before his death." It must be ac-
knowledged that throughout this deplorable contro-
versy Father AI'D Balton. has had a bitter enemy
against him, but that enemy has been—himself. He
it is who rendered even this solemn asseveration inef-
fectual, he it is who imparted an additional
colouring of probability to the assertions of his
accusers, he it is who rendered his own innocence
more than ever disputable by using language so

peculiarly intemperate and inflammable that such a
man as the Earl of SHAEWSBURT is forced to say,
when writing to his episcopal superior, the Bishop
of ELyntri, that, in his opinion, Father M'DEMMOTT,
by his denial, " adds the sin of tergiversation to his
other delinquencies." How different was the re-
joinder of the Rev. Mr. HUGHES, the priest of Castle-
bar—a rejoinder which instantly silenced the voice
of his calumniators, and attested his innocence beyond
all denial

We are far from implying that enough has been
done to substantiate the accuracy of the Archdeacon
of ELPHIN'S contradiction, merely by the publica-
tion of the letter signed by twenty-eight of his
parishioners. So much has been said and written
upon the matter, that something more has become
requisite. Even the accused himself, we should
imagine, would be solicitous to court that investiga-
tion which has been so earnestly yearned for by
Lord BEAUMONT, by the Earl of SHREWSBURY, and,
most of all, by the Noble Lord the Earl of ARUNDEL
and SURREY. Some judicial, or, at the least, some ec-
clesiastical inquiry has become necessary for the
honour of Strokestown, for the re-establishment of the
good fame of the Archdeacon of ELrniN, awl for the
glory of the whole body of the Roman Catholics of
Ireland.

We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday.

The case of ADD-EL-KADEIL is the subject of com-
ment in all of them. The organ of M. GUIZOT hints
that the Government ought not to ratify the conven-
tion—in other words, that no faith is to be kept with
the Mussulman. M. GUIZOT is an apt scholar, and
has soon put to profit the instruction he has received
in the school of his Jesuit friends of the Sonderbund.

The Presse, to its honour be it spoken, unhesita-
tingly declares that the Government has no choice,
but is bound by the convention entered into by the
Governor-General of Algeria.
A letter from Toulon, of the 81st of December,
says, " ABD-EL-KADER is confined in the Lazaretto,
under the guard of a company of the 3d regiment of
Infantry of the Marine. Ile is expecting orders from
Paris. The Emir hopes that the Government will
consent to send him to Egypt, but this appears to us
very doubtful."
The C'ow,titutionnel, after urging the Government
not to ratify the convention, although it says such a
course would gravely compromise the Due D'AumaLE,
thus proceeds :
" It is however, said, that the Ministry on this
question, as on so many others, wants the courage
to adopt a straightforward open line of conduct.
We are informed that the Ministers have decided
that ABD-EL-KADER shall be for the present detained
in the fort of Lamalgue, at Toulon ; that a negotia-
tion shall be opened with the Pacha of EGYPT for the
transference of the Emir to Alexandria. But, ac-
cording to the manner in which certain influences
may tell on the Chamber, according to the disposition
which may be manifested by the majority, this nego-
tiation will have for its object, either to obtain in
reality of the Pacha a promise to guard our
prisoner for us, or secretly to urge MEHE-
MET ALI to refuse to accede to our
request. Then ABD..EL-.KADER will be forced to
remain in France, and our Ministers will have had
the appearance of having wished to carry into effect
the promises of the Governor-General."
There is every probability that some such course
will be adopted. It is the course of all others the
mo,t likely to suggest itself to the mind of such a
perfect master in the art of equivocation as A.
GUIZOT.

The affair between M. DE AIORNY and M. EMILE
DE GIRAMDIN has been settled without bloodshed,
through the intervention of the seconds. The four
seconds met in the evening, and, after a conference
of two hours it was unanimously agreed that there
was not sufficient grounds for a hostile meeting, and
this resolution being communicated to the two prin-
cipals, they both assented to it, and the affair pro-
ceeded no further. The following document was
drawn up by the seconds

" The seconds of MM. de Morny and Emile de
Girardin having mutually considered the altercation
which has arisen between these two gentlemen, con-
cur in thinking that there has been a misconception
of their reciprocal intentions, and that, in fact, there
are no grounds for a meeting. Submitting to the
opinion of those in whom he had placed his confidence,
M. de Girardin has declared that he did not intend to
offend M. de Morny personally; that he meant to
confine himself within the bound► of polemics, and
was willing to withdraw such expressions as might be
deemed offensive. On this candid declaration by M.
de Girardin, M. de Morny declared that he withdrew
from his letter everything that was offensive and
hostile.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT THE EUSTON-SQUARE
STATION OF THE NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY COM.
PANY.--(Tins DAY.)—This morning, at about half-past
ten o'clock, au accident, which might have been at-
tended with very serious consequences, occurred at the
North-Western Railway Station, Euston-square. Our
readers are probably aware that, for some time past,
there have been erecting at the station extensive ranges
of new buildings for the use of the company. These
buildings are being erected by the Messrs. Cubist,
and are now approaching their completion. This morn-
ing suddenly the whole of the side wall of the newly-
erected vestibule, which is nearly completed, gave way,
and fell with a terrific crash, burying in the ruins eleven
persons (men and boys) who were employed in its
erection. Assistance was immediately procured, and the
unfortunate sufferers having been extricated from the
ruins, were at once conveyed to the hospital. Three of
them were injured so slightly as to be able at once to
proceed to their homes, the remainder were taken into
the hospital; but we are happy to say, that only one -is-
considered to be at all dangerously injured.

NERVOUS DOCTORS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Six,—lt is certain that nervous patients are con-
e antly drugged with the vulgar "hoaxes," opium
a nd cantharides, to bewilder and humiliate them.
;very method is used to heighten their indisposition
to business; to discover any superstition or scruple
t hey may have inherited from grandmother or nurse ;
t ;o irritate the irritable, to insult the high-minded, and
laully the mild-tempered; to construe every struggle
or remonstrance into a sympton of disease, and call
the disease a crime; to indulge.thetn with unwhole-
some food, the malady being dyspepsia, and absti-
nence the only cure; to exaggerate or invent pecu-
niary embarrassments, and by threats compel assign-
ments of large sums; with the crowning infamy that
their children, who should soothe them, are tempted
lay promises of independence—that is, of money—to
desert and defy them.
These remarks apply to all such establishments,
especially to private houses ; here the physician is
supposed to be a cheek, but how can that be, when he
" goes snacks" with the amiable host, taking the
lion's share ? The attendants, excepting illness, are
almost as much to be pitied as the patient, though
far superior to their principals ; they are bribed and
counter-bribed ; they commonly administer in public
asylums, simply by order of the housekeeper, with-
out any reference to " skilful men," an immense
quietus of morphine in food or drink.
" Dura quiete prectsi a ferreo sonno."
This tyranny has a strong analogy with the other
tyrannies which The Sun combats with so much
honesty and success. Any hot•headed Peer might
wish to silence an individual, to have the manage-
ment of his property or possibly the care of his
daughters. The sufferer feels as if nothing but death,
which he intensely desires, can relieve that erethisin
of nerves from continued loss of sleep and appetite,
compared with which all other maladies are trifling—
his reasoning faculties never were more sound, but
his agitation cannot always be concealed—he fondly
imagines that some of his friends will take care of his
business at whatever loss, and restore him to his
family if ever he should recover. The nobleman
rings his bell, the footman summons the medical or
legal adviser, these gentlemen's religion is to serve
themselves and their emplLoyer; they ascertain his
wish, and give it as their opinion ; he gives their
opinion as his authority—per hunceirculum eurritur ;
the victim has a gag, the executioner has a mask.
It is probable that George 111. was never insane.
In his private letters to Mr. Pitt he mentions having
broken the key of a red box, perhaps from want of
selt-command, and the importance he attributes to
this accident, with reference to his own state of mind,
may show that he was misled. Lord Eldon "refused
to sanction measures which might induce the malady
they assumed." Compare this with Lord Eldon say.
ing, " I never could imagine why George IV took
such a fancy to me." The King could not silence
the Chancellor. Compare this also with the treat-
ment of Queen Caroline. Also, if there were any
irregularities in that family, the scrupulous conscience
of George 111. might expose him to the sting of rep •
tiles who had only the power—of betraying.
So that no rank of life is safe from nervous
doctors, unless the unshackled portion of the press is
determined to overawe them.

AMERICAN NEWS.

Intelligence has been received of the arrival of the
packet-ship Zurich, Captain Thompson, at Havre, on
Tuesday, the 4th inst., at noon, bringing files of New
York papers to the 19th of December—three days
later than the advices by the Liverpool steamer.
The political and commercial advices are not of
great interest.
The money and produce markets were dull.

LOSS OF HER MAJESTY'S SHIP
AVENGER.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-
packet Pacha, Captain Olive, has arrived from Malta
and Gibraltar, bringing the melancholy intelligence
of the total loss of her Majesty's steam frigate
Avenger.
The Avenger was on her passage from Gibraltar
to Malta, and on the 20th of December struck on the
Sorelli Rocks, thirteen miles south-west of the
Island of Eoleba.

The Pacha, on her voyage from Malta to Gibraltar,
was met by a French war steamer coming out of the
bay of Tunis, the captain of which gave information
of the wreck, and offered to proceed with the Pacha
to the disaster.
On the arrival of the two steamers at the Sorelli
Rocks, on the 26th, the reef was found covered with
fragments of the wreck, but no vestiges of boats or
the crew were discernible.

The crew of the Avenger, consisting of 270 persons,
including officers and supernumeraries, are supposed
to have perished, with the exception of five seamen
and three officers, one the surgeon, who had reached
the African coast in one of the Avenger's boats.
The Avenger is a steamer of the first clam of 1,444
tons and 650 horse-power. She was built by Sir
W. Symons, at Devonport, in 1845, and was put into
commission for the Mediterranean station on the 20th
of last November.

We subjoin a list of her officers :—Captain C. E.
Napier (son of the Admiral) ; Lieutenants Hugh
M. Kinsman, Frederick Marryat (son of Captain
Marryat), Francis Rooke ; Master William Archer;
Second-Lieutenant of Marine Artillery IL S.
Baynes; Surgeon James H. Steele; Paymaster and
Purser Valentine A. Haile ; Assistant-Surgeon Ber-
nard Delany; Second Master William Betts; Clerk
Henry J. S. Walker.
The Jupiter is expected here every hour from
Gibraltar, and she may, perhaps, bring additional
intelligence.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWZ".
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market has closed steadily. Sales 4,000
to 5,000 bales, of' which.3,soo were American, at 41d.
to 6d. per lb. Railway Shares were more active, espe-
cially Midland and Dover.
The accounts received by the electric telegraph to-
day have not influenced in any way the Public Securi-
ties. Froth the colonies we have not had any arrivals.
Among other interesting reviews of the state of corn-
mercial affairs during the year just concluded, we may
notice the following paragraphs, as part of a statement
by Messrs. Franks and Millard. They observe—
" The commercial disasters have been even of greater
magnitude than during the memorable years of 1825 and
1826. There is scarcely an article of the least import-
ance but which merchants have been selling at a severe
loss; even manufacturers also have been compelled to
press their goods upon the market under the cost of
production, in consequence of the decreased demand, and
the difficulty of obtatning money to enable them to carry
on their business.
" It is calculated that merchants will be sufferers upon
the importation of goods and bread stuffs to the
enormous amount of nearly eight millions sterling for
the year. What a contrast this is with the previous onel
It cannot be denied, however, that our system of cur-
rency tended to produce the unfavourable state of
affairs, for there has this year been a vast increase in
the arrivals of produce from all quarters of the world,
whilst a great demand prevailed for cash to carry out
railway schemes and other undertakings in the United
Kingdom. Still our currency is placed under the same re-
strictions as when our imports were of less magnitude•than
during 1847. There can be no doubt', however, that the
numerous failures, combined with the low and unremu-
nerating prices, will operate against shipments of
nearly all articles to this country in the ensuing season,
and as we shall not want a supply of bread stuffs from
abroad there will, in a few months, be a vast accumula-
tion of cash, and the rate of interest cannot fail to rule
low, as the demand will be less than it has been this
year. It is calculated by parties well versed in mo-
netary affairs that the rate of discount for first-
class bills will be under four per cent. That we are on
the eve of a better order of things is quite apparent, as
the time is not far distant when there will be a material
increase in the demand for colonial produce, and some-
thing like remuneratung rates must prevail. For goods,
the result of British industry, the time is fast approach-
ing when export orders will be large, and an advance
will take place in the value. Thus will the mills that
are standing idle be enabled to resume work, which,
coupled with our excellent sanitary regulations, will be
the means of providing employment for vast multi-
tudes; thus creating a large demand for goods and
manufactured articles, and placing the country in s state
of prosperity nearly equal to that of 1846."
A very considerable amount of business has been
transacted in the Public Securities this morning, as pri-
vate tralisfers are allowable, at the ordinary fee of

In but a very few instances have the Railway Shares
improved to-day, as the official list will best show.
