JAMES C. MELVILL, Auditor India Accounts.
For the Political Charges paid in England.
THO. G. LLCM .11, Accountant-General.
East India House, 31st January, !SQ.

This abstract is followed with the details for each Pre-
sidency, &c. It will be seen, that where the accounts
ate known, there is surplus " charge," and that for the
last year, which, however, is "ou estimate," there is
surplus "revenue."

The receipts and charges of these residencies are now 1n
eluded in the Bengal account.

On Friday night there were no less than six
Secretaries at War in the House of Commons, who have
held the office since Mr. CANNING'd death—viz., Lords
F. L. GOWER and PALMERSTON, Mr. WYNN, and Sirs
H. HARDINGE, H. PARNELL, and JOHN CAM HOB-
HOUSE.

VALENTINE'S DAY.—This day of confes-
sional at the shrine of Cupid, has been observed in this
place with more than the usual devotion. The Post-
office deliveries numbered 2000 above the average amount
of letters. Is it because, this being leap year, the ladies
have it their own way?—Scotsman.
M. CASIMIR PERIER AND SIR ROBERT

PEEL.—The measures of the present Ministers of revo-
lutionized France are directed to stein the tide of improve-
ment, to shorten the sum of securities for good govern-
ment, and to throw discredit upon those principles which
are productive of the greatest possible happiness; and, as
such, those measures are ill calculated to meet with support
from English Reformers. There is hardly one speech on
the ministerial side of the French Chambers which would
not make a pretty good anti-reform speech in the English
Parliament. There is hardly one measure of M. CASIMIR
PERIER which Sir ROBERT PEEL (alias Half-way, an
apt translation of juste milieu) might not adopt.—France
and .England by a Foreigner.—Metropolitan Maga-
zine for February.

A statement of the expenses of the coronation
of WILLIAM IV. and of his Queen, ADELAIDE, has been
laid before both Houses of Parliament. From this docu-
ment there will result a singular contrast of the manner in
which the last and the present Sovereign have drawn on
the public resources of the country for this ceremony. We
well recollect the coronation of GEORGE IV. It was a
solitary act. The splendour was all his own. It was
created for him alone. He started from his deep obscu-
rity, sustained with trembling knees and a palpitating
heart the gaudy trappings of his station for a few hours,
and then slunk back from the view, and almost from the

thought of his people' The previous estimate of the ex-
pen4es for that day's brief di play had been 100,0001., and
they amounted to 238,000/. ! The coronation of

Wit-LIAM IV. and of his QUEEN was forced upon Mi-
nisters by the present Opposition. His MAJESTY is not
the more beloved by his people, nor is he inure their King,
for being crowned, We are of opinion, however, that the
ceremony, though it might have been delayed, could not
be altogether omitted ; and it is, perhaps, therefore, now
the better th4t it is over. But this is a rare instance of
the expenditure falling short of the estimate ! and yet all
that was necessary, and wen more than was necessary,
was done. The estimate of the expenses of the coronation
of the KING and QUEEN was 50,0001. The actual ex•
penes have proved to be 43,1591. Times.

Yesterday the Committee of the “ouse of
Commons on the London7.bridge Approaches Bill met, and'
after a very animated discussion, it was resolved that they
should adjourn until 'MutedAy, in order, as we understood,
that the city authorities might produce evidence to show

that there was no necessity for granting the space of 130
feet frontage to view the 'ancient and splendid edifice of
St. Saviour's Church on the southern line of approach to
the New London-bridge; and also that the Members of the
