THE NEW ROYAL MARINE BARRACKS AT WOOL-
wlclL—This splendid range of buildings, constructed
on the site of the old Marine Barracks for the aecom •
modation of 1,000, with excellent officers' and staff non-
commissioned officers' quarters, and offices for the re-
cords and transactions of the division, is now nearly
completed, and partly occupied by the shoemakers and
' tailors of the corps. The buildings are constructed in
the strongest manner and of the best quality of mate-
rials, and perfectly fire-proof. The partly underground
in front, and level ground in rear, or kitchen story, con-
tains large fire-places, with ranges, and every conve-
nience for cooking. The floors of the kitchens are laid
with large freestone slabs, 12 feet by 6 fret, and the re-
maining portion with usphalte or a composition of a
similar description. The water cisterns in the kitchens
are formed of an excellent quality of slate, admirably
joined together. The shelves are of cast metal, and
the supports of the brick arches of the roof of the
kitchens of the same material. The stairs are of wood,
but covert d entirely with sheet lead. The first and
second stories in front, or sleeping rooms, are spacious
and without one particle of wood in any cf them, the
roofs being formed of bricks supported on cast-iron
beams, and the floor formed entirely of the asphalte
composition. The mode ia which they are warmed
air-ter, and ventilated or supplied with cold in sum-
mer, is by means of a revolving fan eight feet in dia-
meter, which will be wound up daily, and operate by
weights, in the same manner as a church clock. The
landing places are formed of the best Rockbill paving
slabs, and the outer stairs consist of 10 steps of granite
with granite
.balustrades, connected with light but sub-
stantial railing:. On the south-west front of the prin
cipal range of buildings on the first and second stories
are numerous arches with iron railings about three feet
six inches

detached buildings are also in a forwatd state, and when
the whole of this extensive barrack is completed it will
be of a very superior description to the quarters for-
merly occupied by this corps. The Ilebe receiving ship,
at the west end of Woolwich dockyard, is now nearly
ready for the reception of 300 of the single men, and
officers having the charge of them. A space extending
the whole length of the vessel has been inclosed to avoid
any connection with the dockyard, and a wicket gate
opened leading into the road to Charlton pier. Every
arrangement has been made for the accommodation of
the men on board the Hebe, and she has been thoroughly
cleaned and painted, and fitted with cooking apparatus
for the comfort of the Royal Marines who will be sta-
tioned in her.
THE BULL-FIGHTS IN SPAIN.—We read in the
Quotidienne The long-talked-of weddings in Spain
will be destructive to the poor bulls of the country. To
conciliate the ill-humour of the people of Madrid there
are to be biilliant corridas de Toras. Moutes, Sevilla,
El Ar:clanero, the most celebrated artists, are to display
tl eir cnura,:.e and address. Fifty bulls are to be given
up to slaughter, forty horses are to be embowelled,
seven or eight picadores are to be wounded, and some
matadores will probably be killed on the arena, as hap-
pened once at Cape Hillo, and then the fete
will be complete. We have befOre us a curious ac-
count Of the number of deaths which have occurred in the
Circus at Madrid during the fourteen years from 1832 to
1845 inclusively. It comprises 2,257 bulls and 2,934
horses, sacrificed to the delight of the amateurs of the
Tanromachial. In fact, in the item of bulls, 1840, was
the least satisfactory year, as only 101 perished. This
was scarcely worth the trouble. The palm of numbers
may be claimed by 1833, in which year 233 bulls died
in all the pride and happiness of having thus afforded
pleasure to the inhabitants of the capital of Spain. In
1541 there were 161 I.orses killed, and this was con-
sidered a very bad year ; but 1840 was a truly brilliant
one; 343 were laid deal on the field; being six or seven
to each Corida, supposing that these innocent games
were renewed once a week. Last year (1845) the de-
struction was 173 bulls ItLld 335 h9r»es."

On CHASTITY and its INFRINGE}
(An Essay for 1846.)
"Of human ills and frailties I discourse,
Those taught by nature, and by art acquir'd.
Of griefs conceal'd, and disappointments keen,
Which young and gentle, the matured and sage,
The lonely and the mated—all sustain.
In kindly spirit, herein counsel's giv'n,
How health, how hope, how happiness to gain."

servance of the instructions herein contained the feeble, the

the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach In health
full period of life allotted to man.
" How we should lire—what eat, what drink, what shit*,
To reach in health full threescore years andt en."
These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjec•-,.
very delicate import, as their tiles imply, will be found of
surable and general utility, for they tell of matters everything et-;a
lure able to understani ought to know, but which informatioo;4
these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated threir
questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount.
In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden t1110„:t
nature, et human disappointments and their ways of relief, it isi'e,
contended that every reader Phan become his or her own Or; 0
any snore than their own lawyer, lout it is insisted upon thli*,.wi
should knew the simple principles of our own organization, the
whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several Wlcrel
states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our
capacities In the family circle, and the terms on which the health?"'
happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely',
By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully iniP.'met.
health will be found to be in our own keeping, and haPP,aO;
within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fabirof
our duty to ourselves, we secure the like advantages on our offo
to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which.
consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the boa 7,701
be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the Dig"
of God's creations.
The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his Oil, dpi

by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that

Since issuing the former prospectus, the Committee, being deter-
mined to proceed on the surest grounds, and anxious for the ultimate
success of the undertaking, have made further and more minute in-
quiries into the remunerative traffic to be expected on this line ; and
they are warranted in stating that, the result of such inquiries has
greatly exceeded the expectations upon which they grounded their
former prospectus.
This line of railway, commencing at Bristol, will open a direct
communication with Poole, passing through or near the important
towns and ♦illages of Whitechurch, Pensford, Clutton, Shepton

Mallet, Bruton, Castle Cary, IV incanton, Sta'bridge, Sturminster,
Newton, Shillingston, Stourpain, Blandford, Spittisbury, Sturminster
Marshall, Wimborne Minster to Poole Harbour • and thus, by means
of the Line of Packets intended to be established by this Company,
from that port to the Channel Islands and Cherbourg, and the rail-
ways now in progress from the latter place to the French capital,
and irom thence to Lyons, will complete the line of communication
by the most direct way, from Edinburgh to the south of France, thus
enabling that country to supply herself with many articles of com-
merce at little more than half the cost she at present pays, and leav-
ing a good remunerative profit to the Company and producer at home,
' Among the 'various sources of traffic to be expected on this line.
the following are the most prominent :—The supply of the Govern-
ment with Coal from the Welch and Somersetshire pits, by
means of the proposed line, for its different naval and steam
depots throughout the world. The Somerset pits, which are 36 in
Reuther, yield, at present, about 2,000 tons per diem, but are ca-
pable of yielding a much larger quantity ; and, supposing that 2,000
tons were carried by the railway, at Id. per ton a mile, a dis-
tance of 40 miles for 300 days in the year, which is even less
than the Company have every reason to expect, it would• yield a
net return of 100,0001., or 10 per cent. upon the estimated capi-
tal; deduct-then 40 per cent. for working the line, wear and tear,
and there remains the sum of 60,0001., or 6 per cent. per annum
on the capital. There can be no doubt of the demand of this
important article of general consumption. from the great dimi-
nution of price to the consumer by the costs of carriage being
reduced to ld. per ton per mile from the present cost, wh:ch is
from Cal. to 100. The supply of the Channel Islands (population
more than 100,000), and of France, with the best species of
coal for the production of gas, as well as for the use of their
manufactures and for domestic purposes. This article, by means
of the various coal pits situated on the line, will yield to the
Company a very fine remunerative profit, and be of the greatest be-
nefit to the coal proprietor; as the coal necessary for the purposes of
gas can be obtained in very large quantities, and delivered at Cher-
bourg at one-third less than they are now giving for the same coal,
and which cannot, therefore, fail to be of equal benefit to the mer-
chant abroad, the producer at home, and the proposed Company. ,
Besides these two great sources of coal traffic, there is the supply of
the southern coast, and the different districts on the line, with coal
for domestic use, at a saving of from six to seven shillings a ton.
This is a circumstance that cannot fail to secure to the Company the
entire traffic, and be of the greatest benefit to themselves and the
public in general. In addition to this, the line will offer to the great
manufacturing city of Bristol a more ready market for all those
articles of commerce of which France and the Channel Islands stand
so much in need, and which are manufactured in great quantities at
that city, and as soon as the line is completed, tenders will at once
be submitted to Government for the more speedy transmission of the
malls to the Channel Islands, by which a saving of more than,
twelve hours will be effected, and to the North and North-west of
Great Britain a saving of twenty-four hours.
There is also very considerable traffic to be derived from the
various stone quarries, iron mines, and clay pits on the line (the
clay pits alone yielding more than 50,000 tons annually) ; sand from
the Isle of Wight, for the manufacture of glass, of which more
than 10,000 tons annually are used in Birmingham alone; the pre-
sent mercantile traffic whist' now goes round the Land's End to
the Western Ports ; the great agricultural, manufacture, and pas-
senger traffic from the rich and populous districts through which
the line passes; and the traffic which must be thrown upon the line
from the Welch iron and coal masters, as being the nearest and most
direct outlet to the Continent for the produce of that country. In-
dependent of remuneration, this line ought to be looked upon as a
great national undertaking and benefit, as it will do away with the
necessity for vessels now employed in the Dutch, Danish, Swedish,
and Russian trades, bound to the western parts of England, going
round the Land's End, by at once opening to them the harbour of
Poole, which has been pronounced by eminent engineers to be one
of the best natural harbours in the world, and capable, at a small
expense, of being made accessible to vessels of the largest class
with perfect safety, and enabling them to send their cargoes
to their different destinations in less time, and at a less
espouse, than at pe esicitirmc:

cargos s of northern produce thus landed at. Poole, to be again dist ri-
buted, by means of their railway, to the different manufacturing: towns
throughout this country ; and the passenger traffic that would natu-
rally follow so large a portion of mercantile traffic cannot tail to
yield to the Company a very handsome return upon their outlay.
The average number of vessels detained in this trade in going
round the Land's Eud amounts, from the most authentic sources, to
about four thousand, each vessel averaging a detention of five days.
The average tonr.age of these 'vessels amouits to 130 tons, which
would give six men to each vessel, working after the rate of 601. per
month, which would give, for the number of days detained, 101. to
each vessel: this, multiplied by the number of vessels, viz., 4,000,
would give the sum of 40,0001., which will be entirely saved by
means of this line. Tliis Is independent of the loss of life, destruction
of property, expense of insurance, and lose of time, which would
all be saved by the projected rail, the statistics of which, did space
allow, would make every one look upon the present undertaking,
not only as one of great local importance, but one of great national
benefit.
The aziYantages have long been known and appreciated, and the
present CoMpany have determined to bring them Into play in the
most fiel and Cfticient manner. The expense of storage at Poole as
well as the port does are less than at any port in the kingdom ; so
that the merchant would be enabled to keep Lis goods there at a less
expense than at his own port. He would be enabled to perform five
voyages fer every three from the northern parts, and, by means of
the speedy communication by the electric telegraph and the rapid
travelling of the present day, many advantages and conveniences will
be afforded.
A careful preliminary survey having been made by the Company's
surveyor, the line has been pronounced to present less than the ave-
rage engineering difficulties, about thirty miles being through a rich,
populous, and level valley. The harbour of Poole has also been sur-
veyed, and the bar at the mouth of the harbour has been pronounced
to be capable of removal, and is now actually being removed ; thus
opening to vessels of the largest tonnage ono of the safest and most
commodious harbours in the world.
These are a few of the advantages offered to the public by the pro-
jected line ; and the Committee, impressed with the sense of the ex-
cellence and legitimacy of the undertaking, and basing their views
upon ascertained facts and undoubted evidence, feel themselves war-
ranted in offering to all applicants for shares the following conditions,
viz.: That no party taking shares in the said Company shall be
liable (in case of failure of the Company) to a larger amaubt than
five shillings per share, unless a greater sum shall be sanctioned at a
General Meeting of the Shareholders called for that purpose ; so that
in case the Company fail at any period of time prior to such Meeting
being called, the Committee pledge themselves to return 11. 17s. per
share instead of 21. 25., and a proportionately larger amount if the
accounts of the Company, upon inspection, show a less expenditure.
At the first general meeting of the shareholders the Committee
will produce au account, signed by the bankers, of the several sums
received by them on account of the Company, thereby warranting to
the shareholders that the amount subscribed is still in the hands of
the bankers, minus the ss. per share.
The future plans of the Company will be laid before the share-
holders at their first general meeting, and everything submitted to
their investigation and approved.

.1.41 E QUEEN OF SPAIN'S MARRIAGE
The marriage of the youthful Queen of Spain
Is certainly deserving of a strain ;
And lest you think we're slighting the " Infanta,"
Our muse shall take the subject up instanter;
We've nothing that's political in view,
That we will leave for editors to do ;
While some folks make a business to assail her.
Our business is the business of a tailor.
We want to give a hint (as you may guess)
Touching her royal bridegroom's wedding dress.
MOSES and SON (without a word's dispute)
Should have the orders for the wedding suit.
Garments like these would make the courtiers stare,
Nor would he find their equal anywhere ;
The Spanish Queen herself would much admire
The elegance display'd in such attire.
MOSES and SON (which far they scarce need state)
Are daily having orders from the great ;
And Egypt's Prince, while visiting our border',
Forgot not to oblige us with his orders.
Then let the Royal Prince about to marry
Take up the hint which these few verses carry;
NOSES and SON will choicely execute
The Prince's order for a wedding sidte.

deavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their
make, feel it incumbent on them to request the attention of the
public, in purchasing what they conceive to be the original to ob-
serve the Name and Address correspond with the above. The genee
ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the un-
guarded ; and, for their detection, J. B. and San, submit the following

end others " Burgiss's ;" and many more without address. Johr

public, and earnestly solicit them to Inspect the labels previous to
purchasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they hope
will prevent many disappointments.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS
FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

TlMES.—Telegraphs and cannon have by this time
informed the world that the Church of Atocha has wit-
nessed the double marriage of the two sisters of Spain.
On one of these events we may at least offer our best
wisheg, if not our most joyful congratulations, to the
Spanish pe..ple. Isabella IL is united to a native Prince,
who brings in his train no elements of discord, and offers
no stormy prospects as the price of his alliance. 1)on
Francisco introduces no foreign influence to injure or
insult the people of hii'conntry, his descen:lants will not
be liable to the jealous intervention of neighbouring
Powers as the unlawful heirs of a forbidden birthright,
nor will Spain be taught to regard them as debarred
by right from a succession to which they are intro.
duced by blood. Far different is the case with her
Royal Highness the Infantv.- Her consort arrives

amongst a people whose detestation of his pretensions
can hardly be drowned in the purchased acclamations
of noisy crowds well trained and carefully posted on
his road. They see through the schemes of his family,
and know the extent to which he is disqualified by
solemn engagements for the position which he is ex-
pected to fill. He is either thrust upon them with a
deep purpose or with none. If the latter, his intrusion
is a gratuitous insult to the nation, endangering its re-
lations with friendly powers, which, less perhaps than
any state in Europe, it can afford to peril, and creating
causeless suspicions and empty discontent. If the
former, Spain is condemned to a perpetual dread of a
detested influence, and to the reflection that the descent
of her crown will entail war and bloodshed upon un-
known generations. The next heir to the Spanish
crown is either disinherited, or she retains her inherit-
ance against the voice of public law and the decision of
Europe. Why should the Spaniards have been compelled
to see their Infanta reduced to such a strait ? What
compensates her Royalllighness for her political loss or
her political attainder ? Why- should she contract a
marriage which entails the nullification of her rights,
great or small, distant or approximate ? Why should
she have been driven into such a mevalliance? If, as the
organs of the Chateau declare, it was a duty imperatively
incumbent on France to see that at least such reward as
Louis XIV. did reap by 20 years' expenditure of blood
and treasure should be secured to his descendants—if
such influence as France for the last century has con-
ceived herself to possess in Spain from the consan•
guinity of the two royal lines, should be preserved by the
rigorous exclusion of any princely interloper—even
under all these conditions was it absolutely necessary
that the equilibrium of Europe should be threatened,
public faith sullied, amicable relations disturbed, a
nation insulted, and a princess amerced of her expecta-
tions, to put such a security instantaneously beyond a
doubt ? Was there any remote probability that the
blood of Philip V. would be lost in a more northern
current ? M. de Lamartine has loudly proclaimed the
utter impossibility of such an event, and shown how
small a proportion the gain bears to the risk in the late
stroke of Louis Philippe and his Cabinet. No interval of
postponements, explanations, or manoeuvres could have

Opposition conceive, or dexterously, as M. de Lamar-
tine imagines, we shall not here discuss. If report
speaks truly of the royal countenance, it would appear
that he was prepared, as we have no doubt was the case,
to encounter and neglect more forcible remonstrances
than it has been thought fit to interpose, and that he is
delighted to find the cost fall so far below the estimate.
He has got, at an expense which, perhaps, he may con-
sider reasonable, a prize which he was resolved to get at
any expense whatever. The deliberations originally
attending the project could hardly have been unaccom-
panied, we should imagine, either by the suggestions of
conscience or the misgivings of doubt; but from the first
overt act to the final entry of the French Princes it is
clear that not a moment was to be allowed for reflec-
tion or hesitation either to himself or others. It was not
probable that any of the European Powers, though un-
consulted and over-reached, would interfere by imme-
diate violence to stop the marriage of a Princess of whom,
as well as of the rights she conveyed, they were here-
ditary guardians. The times were not favourable to such
coups de tonnerre. It was conceived that royal mar-
riages had so far lost their influence and significance that
in such matters one Court might circumvent another
without any of those national explosions which aro more
immediately unpleasant than the protests of an outraged
ally, or the consequences of a damaged character. What
Louis Phillippe expected to result from his stroke may
perhaps be inferred from his' satisfaction at what has ac-
tually occurred. He. is overjoyed that England has done
no more than reiterate a solemn protest, and paint to
treaties dishonourably infringed. He is rejoiced that the
balance of European power, which apparently the
Orleans dynasty can so securely neglect, is only seri-
ously threatened by the marriage of one his sons. He
is delighted that no further tumult has occurred in the
county on which he has imposed his progeny than the
avowed discontent and turbulence of the whole popula-
tion, the apparition of an armed pretender to the Crown,
and the jeopardy of that very throne, the reversion of
which has lured the French Augustus into such
unusual temerity. A Prince of honoured name and
serious claims is about to raise his standard in Spain,
availing himself of.the detestation with which the com-
pulsory policy of the Queen's Government is viewed to
divide the allegiance of the ration, and discreetly pro-
mising the preservation of those constitutional rights,
and the fulfilment of those constitutional duties, in de-
fence of which his family was superseded. Ding Louis
Philippe has given an opportunity to the Count de
Mon.emolin of avowing such sentiments. He imperils
the inheritance of a helpless family either for no cause
whatever, or to secure its reversion to his own. He in-
fringes the public law of Europe, in the preservation of
which every monareh is interested alike. He estranges
a friendly Power, and lowers the character of his Cabi-
net in every Christian Court ; and then the richest So-
vereign of the West is unable to dissemble his joy at
having so cheaply secured a settlement for his fourth
son. With what note in the French calendar will the
10th of October, 1846, be hereafter marked 7

SUICIDE by the SWISS GIANTESS.
On Friday evening an inquest was held at the Red
House Tavern, Battersea, before Mr. Carter, one of the
coroners of the county of Surrey, and a respectable jury,
on view of the colossal remains of El za Laurence, alias
Madame de Letzi but who was better known as the
Swiss Giantess, which had been picked up in the Timm( s,
near that place, on Wednesday morning. From the
evidence adduced it appeared that on Wednesday morn-

of paper was found, upon which was written, " No. 3,
Sherter's-gardens, Seven Dials, knock twice and ask for
Emma." Rock called at the address, and on knocking
twice, as directed, was answered
b • y Emma, a young
and diminutive female; who had been ascertained to walk
with the deceased in Regent-street and that neighbour-
hood, and on taking her to the Red House she at once
identified her old companion, the Swiss Giantess. The
last time the deceased was seen in the neighbourhood
of her residence was Tuesday night, when she called
at a public-house in Sherrard-street, Golden-square,
when she asked a female for a penny, saying she wa.
in great distress, and had bad nothing to eat for
twenty-four hours, or very little from the Monday be-
fore. She also complained of the state of abject poverty
to which she was reduced, being without a farthing, or
a farthing's worth of prop-rty to raise money on, and
said she was going over Waterloo-bridge, and that she
had a great mind to stop there and make a hole in air
eater ; but •a, • Aber she had done so there or elsewhere
there was no evidence to prove. She was, however, seen
upon Waterloo-bridge at ten o'clock on the 'Tuesday
night, which was the last time she was seen alive. She
was 51 years of age, and had never been married, but
had one child, a son, who did not live with her.
The jury, after hearing evidence to the above effect,
returned a verdict of " Suicide, while labouring under
temporary insanity."
This woman, who was well known to the pedestrians
of London, not only from her extraordinary height, but
also her proportionably bulky appearance, passed many
years of her life in a caravan, and was conveyed from
town to town and exhibited, under the title of Madame
de Letzi, the Swiss Giantess. During this time she natu
rally acquired idle habits, and when she was turned cut
upon the world, in consequence of her want of continued
attraction, she adopted the dissipated life which eventu-
ally led her to commit suicide, for she could not bear to
be pointed at in the street as a woman without morality
and character. She more than once went to Waterloo-
bridge with the intention of destroying herself, and was
persuaded by her companions, or those passing, from
committing the crime.

" A gas burner of a novel and ingenious construction was exhibited:
The principal novelty was the introduction of a stream of air to the
centre of the flame by a hollow button in the midele of the burner.
The air passing ttp through the hollow stein of the button, was
healed, and passed out by two series of fire-holes around the periphery,
and impinging with force on the dame of the gas curved it outwards
in the shape of a tulip, while the oxygen of the air, mingling with
the carburetted hydrogen gas, produced a very perfect combustion,
The flame was quite whitedowu thetop of the burner, w as very steady,
as was amply demonstrated by the excellent light of the Institution,
where these burners have been used. In comparing the consumption
of these burners with that of the concentric ring burners, and trying
the power of the two lights by the photometer, the new burner gave a
better ght, with a saving of rather more than one-third."

GREEN-YARDS.—Mr. Joseph Woodward, livery-
stable-keeper, St. Martin's-lane, has forwarded us a
statement which we deem it right to make public, for the
sake of all who ride or drive in London, and who may,
by any circumstance, be compelled for a moment to leave
their horses or vehicles. Mr. W. had driven a very
valuable mare, the property of Mr. Cogan, of the glass
warehouse, Leicester-square, a long journey ; he pulled
up near Drury-lane Theatre, and, whilst absent for a
moment, some idle boys began teazing the mare ; on his
return he interfered, and was ultimately taken into
cust:dy—his horse and gig sent to the green-yard. (As
the horse and gig had committed no offence, they might
have been sent home instead, we think.) The next
morning, on inquiring where the " green-yard" was, he
was informed that " Mr. Perkins, Little Russell-street,
Drury-lane, vas the green-yard." He went there, and
found the mare extremely ill. Mr. P. (the green-yard).
had given the poor animal no bed, and, though he must
have perceived it had been driven hard and fast, no corn ;
the poor thing had been lying shivering on the stones all
night. For this " care" Mr. Perkins charged four shil-
lings and sixpence. When remonstrated with for this
conduct, he replied, " My instructions area little hay.
and water, if they want it ; nothing else." Common

CHRONICLE.-TO a superficial observer, the result
of the revenue for the year ending on Saturday last,
which we this thy publish, will not appear flattering or
even satisfactory, notwithstanding the slight increase of
88,2461. which it shows, compared with the year ending
the 10th of October, 1845. The prominent fact on the
face of this statement is, that the most important and
permanent item of income—the CustOms—exhibits a
deficiency of no less. than 501,619/, and that the small
balance in favour of the year is chiefly produced by
placing against that large deficiency an excess of
421,5881. from " miscellaneous" and casual sources, on
which we have no right to build any permanent
calculations for the future. If; however, we turn to
the comparison of the quarter, the accounts for the
present year exhibit, in every item which can be
taken as a test of the condition of the country, or

- --........... __ _ ..
~f the permanent prospects of the revenue with
the single exception of " stamps"—a most gratifying
and satisfactory result. The Customs show an increase
of 462,472/., the Excise of 226,8201., the taxes of 8,6611.,
the Property-tax of 148,2451., the Post-egice (notwith-
,tanding the extraordinary amount collected in the cor-
responding quarter of 1845, owing to the railway mania)
of 8,000/, and the Crown lands of 15,000/4 while the
,timps, attributable to the enormous expenditure under
This head in 1845 for railway deeds, show a deficiency of
5,8111.; and miscellaneous (a mere accidental source of
income) of 59,5481. —exhibiting, on the whole, a balance
in the total ordinary revenue of the quarter of no
less than 803,3391. ; which balance is, however, re-
duced, by smaller receipts on account of " imprest
moneys" and " repayments of advances"—neither
having reference to general revenue considerations—to
539,0641. So great, however, have been the changes
which have taken place in the two most important
sources of revenue—the Customs and the Excise—during
the periods embraced in these accounts, that it is impos-
sible to form a fair comparative estimate, either of the
years or of the quarters to which they refer, without
considering how far they have been influenced by those
changes. First—as far as regards the year, it is neces-
sary to take into account the reductions in the Tariff
made in 1845, and to examine how far those reductions ap-
plied to the sums appearing as the receipts on each year,
before we come to any conclusion as to the real charac-
ter of the large deficiency in the Customs, or look
upon it as any test of the state of trade. In ie session
of 1845 the reductions in the Tariff on the articles
of sugar, cotton, and four hundred and thirty other
articles, and on the export duty on coal—all included
under the head of " Customs —amounted to no less a
sum than 2,418,000/4 and as the year ending October
expired. Moreover, there were

increased amount of our imports—by the profits, whole-
sale and retail, which have applied to the distribution of
this increased quantity of comrnaditie ; and finally,
though most important of all, the whole public have
benefited by the increased supply and lower cost of all
that contributes to their material wants. Again—a
comparison of the Excise duties for the year furnishes
an equally gratifying result. An increase on the year
of 18,7171. is shown in the Revenue tables ; but it must
be borne in mind that in 1845 a reduction took place in
this branch of revenue, by the repeal of the glass and
auction duties, amounting to 892,0001. on the year, but
which reduction applied only to one-half of the year
ending October 6, 1845, while it applied to the whole
of the year ending the 10th instant ; so that to make
the comparison of the two periods perfect we must add to
the receipts of the present year one half of that sum.
The quarter's accounts—and especially ailar as regards
the Customs—are, even in a greater degree than those of
the year, illustrative of these advantages. Notwith-
standing the reductions in the Tariff in the last session
of Parliament—which for the single quarter are equal
to about 100,0001.—the increase in the present year,
compared even with the prosperous and busy quarter
ending the 10th October, 1845—is no less than 462,4721.
We have relinquished import duties upon the quarter
equal to 100,0001.; we hare gained revenue to the
amount of 462,472/. Nor is this attributable, as some
may suppose, to the largo amount of duty received on
corn when the new corn-law first came into operation,
that sum having been included in the quarter ending the
sth of July.
ADVERTISER.—We publish to day the revenue
accounts for the year and quarter ending on the 10th
instant ; and our readers, we irisure, will share with

us the gratification we feel at the prosperous state of the
nation's affairs, as unfolded in these returns. It will be
seen that the total increase on. the year, as compared
with the year ending October 10, 1845, is 88,2641.,
while on, the quarter, as compared with the correspond-
ing quarter of last year, the increase is no less than
539,0641. In the Customs department there is a
decrease on the year of 501,6191„ but on the quarter
there is an increase of 462,4721. This is a most
cheering fact, inasmuch as the Customs have always
been regarded as affording the best test of the pros-
perity or otherwise of the trade and commerce of the
country. The only two heads under which we
find a deficit on the quarter, are those of the
Stamps and Miscellaneous. In both instances, the
defalcation is insignificant. In the first-mentioned
department it only amounts to the trifling sum of
5,8111., in the second it is 59,5481. Under the head

Post•office we have an augmentation on the
year of 114,0001., 'and on the quarter of 8,0001.
This addition will be hailed by the country as an indi-
cation of an increasing intelligence among us. In the
Ex,tise department there is an augmentation amounting
to 182,7171. for the year, and of 226,820/. for the quer-
ter. This is a most gratifying increase; for there can-
not be a better proof of the prosperity of the country,
next to that afforded by an augmentation in the Customs,
than is furnished by the immense additional consump-
tion of excisable articles which is indicated by the
figures last quoted. The Property-tax, too, has largely
partaken of the general prosperity; for on the year we
find an increase of 205,031/, and on the quarter of
148,245/. These returns, we repeat, are of a most en-
couraging kind. It is a long time since any revenue ac-
counts were so much calculated to afford gratification to
the country. They prove that the finances of the na-
tion are in a most healthy condition. The depression
under which the country laboured is now rapidly passing
away. The gloom which has, for nearly twelve months,
hung over the money market, will be forthwith dispelled,
and confidence, which is the very life and soul of mone-
tary and commercial prosperity, will be everywhere re-
stored.

an increase in the revenue derived through this channel
during the year, which amounts to 421,588/. With re-

to say, infrequently food for a paragraph of spe •
culation; but in reference to Stamps let us just
write a phrase or two. The consumption of stamps
is generally a strong evidence of the condi-
tion of our commercial prosperity or adversity.
It is true that stamps are largely " used up" for purposes
not strictly mercantile, and that the test of our stamps
revenue cannot be always applied to the condition of the
commercial affairs of the country. Yet we must say
that we do not like the aspect of this decrease in that
department. So much for decrease. Let us now turn to
that which appears to bo the position of the nation
manifested by the statement of the national resources
before us. The official table shows an increase of
revenue for the present year compared with the last
amounting to 88,2641., and the increase for the quarter
is 539,0641. In the Customs department there is a
decrease for the year of 501,619/., and an increase for
the quarter of 462,472/. In the Excise there is an increase
for the year of 182,7171., and for the quarter an augmen-
tation which amounts to 226,620/. From the Property-
tax, there has been derived an increase for the year of
205,031/, and for the quarter of 148,245/. The Post-
office returns an increase of its income for the year
of 114,0001.; but upon the quarter just completed
the augmentation is but 8,000/. With the other items
included in this return remark can have but little to do,

as they cannot exhibit any means convertible to the salu-
tary purposes of deduction in reference to the financial
state of the United Kingdom. We may now proceed
briefly to analyse the materials of which this official do-
cument is made up, and endeavour to glean from them a
glimpse of the position in which the country is as a re-
ceiving and a paying nation—of its capacity to contain
within itself the resources from which it may derive sub-
sistence, and of the immediate results of the measures

which Governments have of late thought necessary to be
carried out for the public weal, for the imperial welfare.
We have said that we do not like the aspect of the de-

crease in the revenue derived from stamp;; but when we
compare it with the quarter's revenue obtained from the
Post-office we must confess that in reference to our trade

and commerce the appearances are yet more unsightly.
The increase on the year from the Post-office is 114,000/,
Throwing into the scale the obvious comparative de-
crease in the quarter's revenue from this department, we
should nevertheless have had an augmentation for the
quarter just ended, when compared with the other three
quarters of the year, which should amount to 28,2001.
For this sum we are compelled to read 8,0001. But we
will not descend to metaphysics when plain figures are
before us—we will merely reiterate our impression, that
with regard to a wholesome state of commerce the ap-
pearances are unseeming.

MANCHESTER CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE.

STS REPRESENTATIONS TO GOVERNMENT.
(From the Manchester Courier.)

We stated in the Courier of Saturday, that the navi-
gation laws had attracted the attention of the 'Manchester
Chamber of Commeree. We now present a copy of
the memorial which has been forwarded by the Directors
to the Lords of the Treasury, and officially acknow-
ledged :

TO THE RIGHT HON. THE LORDS COMMISSIONERS OF
HER MAJESTY'S TREASURY.
_. _ _

" The Memorial of the Directors of Chamber of

Commerce and Manufactures at Manchester

" Showeth—That your memorialists are extremely
desirous that her Majesty's Government should take into
earliest consideration the present state of our navigation
laws.

" That whatever may have been the motive under
which those laws were originat-d, it will not now be
denied that the intelligence of the age demands a revi-
sion, if not a total abandonment of them.

" That for many years• past the impossibility of re-
taining them against the United States of America, and
subsequently against several other nations, was ad-
mitted, and specific relaxations decreed by the Legisla-
ture ; but the wise policy adopted in the last session of
Parliament calls, in the opinion of your memorialists,
for an immediate reform or abolition of them as against
all the world.

"That your memorialists call for such reform or
abolition on the grounds of sound policy and justice, the
injurious consequences of those laws having been often
practically experienced ; but they grieve to add, that
the dispensations of Divine Providence seem to them to
render the correction instantly necessary.
" That, under the most afflicting circumstances in
which many portions of this empire are now placed in
respect to food, your memorialists would fain hope that
a paternal Government will not suffer to remain upon
the statute-book for one unnecessary instant those mis-
chievous and partially devised provisions of law, which,
operating at all times and under all circumstances against
the true interests of the bulk of the people, aggravate at
the present moment their ordinary injustice, by ad.diag
to the difficulty of providing against impending 'famine.
" On the grounds, therefore, of policy, justice, and ne-
cessity, your memorialists humbly, but m)st urgently
pray, that your Lordships may take into immediate c.on-
sideration the whole of the provisions of the navigation
laws, with a view to pr9vide such remedies as the well-
being of the people imperatively requires.
" Manchester, Oct. 1. 1846."
The disturbance of the trade of India by the system
pursued in respect to bills and the rate of exchange by
the EaSt Tnclift Company has also been forced upon the
attention of the Manohester Chamber of Commarce, and
the following memorial to Lord John Russell, in his
capacity of First Lord of the Treasury, has been the
result

i

PtrcE SD.

"TO THE RIGHT HON. THE, LORD JOHN RUSSELL, M.P.
FIRST LORD OF HER, MAJESTY'S TREASURY.
"The Memorial of the Directors of the Chamber of
Commerce and Manufactures at Manchester
" Showeth—That your memorialists deem it high
' time to . draw the special attention of her Majesty's Ca-
binet to points in the administration of Indian affairs
which they c 'n;ider to be directly opposed to the spirit,
if not to the actual letter, of the Act 3d and 4th of
William IV., cup. 85, and most injurious to the perina
neat Interests of their *llOw-subjects in India, as well as
t the trade between Great Britain and that portion of
the empire.
" That your memorialists hold that by the Act just
named, it was intended by the Legislature that all right
in the Hon. the East India Company to trade for their
own profit, in common with others, his Majesty's sub-
jects, should be suspended during such time as the go-
vernment of the said territory should be confided to them.
" That notwithstanding the will of Parliament so dis-
tinctly laid down, the Honourable the East India Com-
pany commenced, immediately after the passing of
the Act, a system of dealing which doubly interfered
with others of the trading subjects of his Majesty,
by disturbing the prices both of goods and
money. Under the plea of securing the safe receipt
of funds for the discharge of the Honourable
Company's liabilities in this country, warehouses were
opened at all the Presidencies, where money advances
were made to those who were willing to deposit goods,
to be controlled by consignment Vthe comport' in
Leadenhall-street; and at the samewlimn they issued
bills on India in return for money paid to them in Lon-
don. The effects of this double operation could not
long be concealed; the markets of India were ruffled—
becoming elevated at one time by the power which the
Company's money advances there gave to bold adven-
turers and reckless speculators, and languid at another,
when those borrowed means were locked up. Facti-
tious disturbances like these render impossible that safe
and equitable system of commerce by which alone the
solid interests of both producer and consumers can be
internationally developed; and these disturbances have
been further aggravated by the arbitrary manner in
which the Honourable Company have been in the habit
of fixing the rate of exchange at which their advances
in India, or their bills in London, have been granted.
It is, therefore, no source of wonder to your men*rial-
ists that India has been visited by periods of commercial
depression and distress more frequently and more se-
verely than any other portion of her Majesty's- domi-
nions; and they do not hesitate to express their opinion
that such will continue to be the case so long as the sys-
tem of which they complain shall be permitted to be
practised.
" That these sentiments have long been entertained
by your memorialists, for they were submitted by this
Chamber to the President of the Board of Control by a
deputation, in February, 1835, and, at his desire, in a
detailed statement dated March 18, 1835 ; by memorials
to the First Lord of the Treasury, and to the Board of
Trade, on February 10, 1836 ; and again to the Board
of Control in a memorial, dated December 7, 1843. All
complaint was ineffectual, and the system continued ;
but the evils attending it attracted at last the attention
of the Governor-General in Council, and the opinions
of your memorialists received the strongest confirma-
tion in the publication of the following important do-
cument

" ' Fort William, Financial Department,
Aug. 4, 1843.
" NOTIFICATION.—Notice is hereby given, that the
Government of India has recommended to the home au-
thorities the expediency of discontinuing, as soon as pos-
sible, the present system of making advances in India
upon the security of goods to be hypothecated to the
East India Company.
" The Governor-General in Council is of opinion
that the full supplies required to meet the wants of the
Home Treasury can be raised in England by the Ho-
nourable the Court of Directors by the sale of bills on
India, without any necessity for the intervention of the
Government in the Indian markets, and he is desirous
of relieving the trade of India from the irregular in•
trusion of a competition which is governed principally
by the political exigencies of the State.
"'The Governor-General in Council is aware that
private interest may be injuriously affected by the sud-
den discontinuance of any system that has long been in
operation, and he issues this timely notification of his
views upon a subject of the gravest importance to the
mercantile community connected with the trade of India,
in order that they may not be unprepared for a change
of measures which the Government of India is urging
strongly on the attention of the home authorities, and
will be ready to carry out at the earliest opportunity.
" By order of the Right Honourable the Governor-
General in Council.

" Secretary to the Government of
(EXTRACT FROM A LETTER.)
" Calcutta, Feb. 12, 1844. ,
" As the'Government warehouse is still open to make
cash advances on East India produce, at the exchange
of 25., we presume Lord Ellenburough's recommendation
of their suspension has not met with support from the
Court of Directors.'
