in Scotland, has begun to act on this principle,
and now presents, not the nominee of some
powerful freeholder, but the candidate most con-
genial to the more respectable part of the pa-
rishioners. The Crown must do the same, and,
probably, in a short time, the more defective
and objectionable parts of the system will be so
altered as to suit the wishes of the best friends
of the Church.

The only news in the German Papers received
to-day is that the number of arrests in Prussia
is on the increase—no less than sixty students
having been recently put into confinement. This
plainly indicates the progress of liberalism in
Germany, notwithstanding the efforts of des-
P •
otis to the contrary. The cause of freedom
-n
and justice must ultimately prevail, however
slowly.

" MY BUDGET."

_
(Tide Sir W. Ingilby's speech last night.)
Pleased, amazed, I hail with glee
Thy gay Budget, Ingilby,
Shrewder thou than Billy Pitt art,
Or that Nick of Nicks, Vansittart,
For their Budgets made us weep,
Set their hearers fast asleep,
Left them sad and thoughtful after—
Thine, splits all their sides with laughter.
Keep it up, then, 'tis a rare one,
And (what's better still) a fair one;
For since to our Church 'tis given
To tax, cent. per cent., e'en Heaven,
Why should'st thou not just as well
Tax at equal ratio, Hell ?

Stick to't, then, but on our backs
Clap another useful tax ;
Clap a tax on nonsense, man—
Tax the metaphors of Dan,
The bright tropes of lawyer Sheil,
And the sounding phrase of Peel ;
If old Cobbett will give vent,
Let him pay for't, cent. per cent.;
If St. Andrew will hold forth,
Tax his sermons at their worth;
If my Lord of Londonderry
Will insist on being merry,
Let his jokes, by no means few,
Tend to aid the revenue I

Think of this sagacious scheme ;
'Tis no frantic poet's dream,
But a scheme, albeit expensive,
So exceeding comprehensive,
That 'twill soon redeem our crosses,
And repair the nation's losses;
For a Nonsense-tax will fall,
More or less, on great and small,
Touching most the pockets shy
Of our sage Nobility.

FALKLAND ISLANDS.-Copy of a letter from Captain James
Nielson, of the brig Swallow, dated the 15th inst., addressed to
the Secretary of Lloyd's : _ _ .

" According to your desire I send you such information as
I am possessed of respecting the massacre at Falkland Island :
Spoke the Susan Ann, cutter, on a sealing voyage, which left
the above islands on the 10th of December, 1833 ; her com-
mander informed me that a number of gentlemen were landed
from his Majesty's ship Clio to take possession of the Falkland
Islands, and that on the 26th of August, at 10 o'clock, a.m.,
were murdered by a few old residents, principally Spaniards,
although headed by two Englishmen, one of whom was known
to Captain Fergusson, and owned to the deed committed, and
immediately fled into the interior with the others. After the
murder their intention was to take possession of a small vessel
stationed a short distance from the place. Fortunately she
had sailed a few hours before, otherwise, in all probability,
more mischief might have been committed. Captain Fergus-
son took from Barkley Sound two women and three children,
and landed them on Saunders' Island, until his Majesty's ship
Clio arrived, which ship had been looked for for some time.
The Charente, Cormack, from Villa Nova, De Portenao,
sent into Lisbon, has been condemned by the Prize Court.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The only arrival this morning of any consequence is the
Lisbon mail, by the Seaflower, sailed on the 16th inst., and
from Oporto on the 19th inst. The information by. the above
conveyance was anticipated yesterday by express, and further
details have been published this morning, by which it appears
that both armies continue in the same positions, but Santarem
was expected to be attacked.
We have several arrivals from the East Indies ; they are of
old dates, except from Bombay.
Consols which left off yesterday at 9014 for the Ae-
count opened this morning at 9014. This improve-
ment may be attributed to the great majority ministers had in
the House of Commons last night, on the motion of Sir W.
Ingilby, to take off the duty on malt. The express from Paris
is not of importance ; it only relates to the proceedings in the
Chamber of Deputies, in the project of a law for the suppression
of political associations.
It is settling day in the Foreign Market ; Spanish 32 ;
Portuguese 714;.
HALF-PAST ONE.
Consols have been steady during most part of the morning
at 90f f for Account, with little doing.
In the Foreign Market they are chiefly occupied in arrang-
ing their differences; at present we do not hear of any failures.
Yesterday a failure took place, but not of any consequence.

The Solicitor-General will leave town to-tight
or to-morrow morning for the purpose of canvassing his
constituents. He is under no apprehension of not being
returned.
Lord Seymour, eldest son of the Duke of
Somerset, on his marriage with Miss Sheridan, resigned,
on behalf of her ladyship, the pension which had been
granted to her on the English civil list.
On Captain Glascock, R.N., being presented
at the King's levee on Wednesday, he was asked how long
he had been in the Douro. The answer given was twelve
months, upon which his Majesty was heard most graciously
to remark that no one could have behaved better. Such an
observation from his Sovereign, and one. of his own pro-
' fession, must have been highly gratifying to the feelings of
the gallant officer, after the arduous and perplexing duties
which, for so long a period, he was called upon to perform,
amidst the cross fire and conflicting interests of the two
Portuguese belligerents.

in Paris or in London, owing to the difference in the
exchange, which gives an advantage in presenting them at
the former place.
Yesterday morning, as Capes, the beadle of
St. Pancras, was passing by Mornington Crescent, near
the turnpike in Mr. Rhodes's fields, Camden Town, he
was called by two men who pointed his attention to a
child lying behind the turnpike. The body was that of a
full-grown female child wrapped up in a piece of plum-
coloured cloth, saturated with blood. The throat was cut
from ear to ear, and the wound seemed to be recent. Th,
infant was carried to St. Pancras workhouse. Every
inquiry was made to trace the murderer but no clue ha,
yet been discovered.
