THE DANUBIAN PROVINCES.

Accounts have been received from Bucharest of the
23d ult.

On and after the lath September, all the import
and export duties, without exception, will be raised
from three to five per cent.—nay, the export duty
may even, according to circumstances, be raised
twelve per cent. It is hoped by this measure to
increase the Wallachian finances by at least 40,000
ducats, without imposing any extreme burden on
commerce.

The Kronstadt Zeitung publishes the new organi-
zation of the land militia, as ratified by St. Peters-
burgh and Constantinople. After the Ist of October

A letter from Rome, of the 4th September, says :
" Putlic attention has been for several weeks much
excited by numerous robberies which have been com-

took place on Monday morning, has mach increased the
anxiety and alarm of the population. Some robbers
introduced themselves into the office where silver goods
are examined and stamped, and carried off everything
they found. The official journal states the amount of
the loss at 5,000 crowns, but public rumour states the

how property to a large amount was in the office, I must
state that the Swiss dealers in plate and watches, on ar •
riving in Rome, deposited their stocks in this place and
bad them stamped as they wanted them. The same
plan is adopted in almost every town in Italy. By a
very fortunate chance the amount and number of articles

LOUIS PHILIPPE'S PROPERTY.

A letter from Paris, of the Bth, in the lndependance
of Brussels, says :—" Since L:Alis Philippe's dEatb,
the journals have been speaking of the fortune which
he has left, and it has been even said that the legacy
dut'es would amount to some millions. I find the
exaggeration which I suspected in these accounts is
greater than I had supposed. The landed property
belonging to the late King contains about 86,000
hectares (the hectare is nearly 2i English acres) thus
divided : 45,000 comprised in the donation made by
the King to his children on August 7, 1830, and of
which he reserved to himself the life interest ; 13,000
belonging to the King himself; and 28,000 be-
queathed to him, for his life only, by Madame Ade-
laide, his sister. The gross revenue of this property,
calculated on an average of 10 years, is 2,989,000 f.
Since 1848 it has been smaller, and for 1851 will
not, it is supposed, amount to more than 3,900,000 f.
But from ail this it is necessary to deduct the
expenses of taxes, insurance, management, agency,
&c., amounting to 1,611,000 f. There therefore re-
mains a revenue of 2,378,000 f., which, at 3 per
cent., represents a capital of nearly 79 millions. In
this valuation I do not comprise non-productive
property, such as chateaux, parks, and gardens, which
it must be admitted, are not without importance. For
instance, the park of Monceaux, in the Faubourg du
Roule, close to Paris, is altogether unproductive, and
contains 19 hectares, worth, say, 2,000,000 f. ; also
the Park of Neuilly, containing nearly 186 hectares,
gives no revenue, yet, if sold in lots, it would give at
least 4,000,000 f. I ought to mention that I have in-
cluded in this statement the property of the Duke
d'Elumale's domain, of which the Queen Marie-
Amelie has the life use, and which gives about
137,000 f. a year. In fine, to be exact, I ought not to
pass over in silence the movable property of the King,
consisting of matters held in common by him and
Madame Adelaide, arising from canal shares and ton-
tines, which, without any exaggeration, must be
worth 325,000 f. a year; also Government securities,
belonging to Louis Philippe himself, amounting to
100,000 f. a year, including 30,000 f. a year in the
Five per Cents., for the Chapels of Dreux and
Neuilly. But this situation, so brilliant in appear.
ance, is considerably diminished by the enormous
debts contracted almost exclusively for the works un-
dertaken at Versailles and in the Royal palaces. The
names of the executors of Louis Philippe are now
known ; they are MM. de Montalivet, Dupin, sen.,
De Montmorency Laplagne, Barris, and Scribe, for-
merly advocate at the Court of Cessation."

OLYMPIC THEATRE.

-
An English version of Scribs's Giralda, which is
at present drawing all Paris to the Opera Comique,
was produced here last evening, with great and de-
success. The scene is laid in Spain, in the
year 1650. The heroine, Giralda (Mrs. S irling), a
peasant girl, is about to be forced into a marriage
with Piquillo (Mr. Compton), a miller, notwithstand-
ing her avowal of her dislike for him and of her liking
fur another, a strange cavalier, with whose features
she is unacquainted, when the said cavalier, in
the person of Don Manuel de Calvados (Mr. Leigh
Murray) appears, and, by a present of (300 ducats,
induces the worthy miller to lend him his cloak and
hat, and to give up Giralda, to whom in this disguise
he is married. Scarcely is the ceremony concluded
when the approach of Isabella of Arragon, and of her
husband, Don Philip, is announced, and as Don
Manuel is a protega of Isabella, who destines him for
the Grand Mastership of the Order of St. lago, he
flies at her approach, leaving Giralda under the care
of Piquillo, with orders to take her to the mill, where
he will juin them. Isabella (Mrs. Leigh Murray) ar-
rives, and sets Don Japhet (Mr. G. Cooke) to watch her
husband, Don Philip (Mr. W. Farren, jun.), of
whom she is intolerably jealous. Don Philip sees
Giralda, and follows her to the mill, and here com-
mences a scene of most amusing imbroglio, each
cavalier been in turn taken by Piquillo for the invi-
sible husband, the said Piquillo receiving bribes
right and left from each. At length Don Manuel
manages to persuade Isabella that he had married
Giralda solely to place her out of the reach of
Don Philip, and is pardoned accordingly and
all ends happily. The Giralda of Mrs. Stirling
is a beautiful mixture of archness, simplicity, and
warm-heartedness, and the Equillo of Compton is a
rich exhibition of peasant stolidity. Mrs. Leigh
Murray acted the Princess with true Spanish dig-
nity, and her husband made a most dashing Don
Manuel. The scenery 'by Mr. Shalders was very
beautiful, and ome dancing in the first act was in a
style that would not have disgraced the boards of the
Italian Opera. The piece acts closely, and the rapid
progress of the intrigue keeps the spectator per-
petually on the qui vice. The success was complete.
The house was crowded.

O'CONNELL'S GRAVE.

The following letter appears in a morning paper of
yesterday, in reference to an article copied from a
Cork paper :

" your paper of this morning an allusion
is made to my father's burial-place at Glasnevin ; and
it is stated, on the faith of some nameless 'Excur-
sionist,' that the attendant or guide had said that, until
certain monies were psid, the coffin should not be al-
lowed to be removed.

" The very ingeniouf, argument of the writer of the
article proceeds to enlarge on this text. Unfortu-
nately, like many other ingenious lucubrations, it has
no foundation in fact ; and the Excursionist' must
have either misunderstood what was said, or wilfully
misled the author of the article. The statement of a
servant should, I submit, not be taken as authority in
most matters; and, in justice to the employers of that
servant, it might have been well to have ascertained
the correctness of bis statement.

" I shall content myself by simply contradicting
such statement. The Cemetery Company, no doubt,
will take proper measure? to prevent mistakes on the
subjact in future.
"It is unfortunately too much the habit in this
country to form conclusions on Irish matters upon in-
sufficient evidence, and upon none has the custom been
followed more exactly than the present.
" I have the honour to be, Sir, yours, &c.,
" .11.1AuarcE O'CONNELL.

A letter from Verona of the 25th ult. says—" The
first communications by means of the electric tele-
graph between this place and Vienna have just taken
place. The line between Verona and Venice has
been for some days at work, and that between Verona
and Militia will be soon completed. Thus, in less
than six months, there have been established in the
Lointrardo7Venetian kingdom, and in the southern
Tyrol, 240 miles of electric telegraph, the wires of
•,t
which, cased in gutta percha, are buried in the ground
spout two feet. These communications are speedily
to be extended to Mantua, as well as from Venice to
Trieste."

'She Statuto of Elorence has been suspended for
beating in its leader of the 29th ult. " insinuated
tttai the Tuscan iovernment directs the public ad-
ministration, not according to the rules of the exist-
tiig laws, but by the aid of a material force."
We mentioned a few days ago that the magistracy
of Florence had voted by a large majority an address
to the Grand Duke, expressing their regret at the
late decrees, and recommending that the Constitu-
tion be again put in vigour. In consequence of this
vote, the Gontaloniere of Florence has been dismissed
by a Grand Ducal decree of the 29th ult., from which
we extract the following passages ;
" Whereas Art. 60 of the communal regulations
debar communal councils from voting upon matters
not concerning their attributions as determined by
the said regulations . . . . • and whereas the Gonfa-
loniere has the initiative of all motions in the com-
munal sittings . . . .; and whereas the Gonfaloniere
of Florence cannot plead ignorance of the irre-
gularity of the motion he proposed to the commu-
nal council of that city, not only because he pro-
posed a vote contrary to the positive prescriptions of
the said Article 60, but also because the Minister of
the Census, and actuary of the said council, reminded
him 'of it at the time, and because he could
not but be acquainted with the maxim already
ado'pted by Government in a similar case relating to
the municipality of ..)lassa Marittirna . ..; we have
decreed and decree :—Art. 1. The Chevalier Ifbal-
dine Peruzzi ceases to hold the office of Gonfaloniere
of the municipality of Florence. Art. 2. The Cheva-
lier Carlo Leonetti is named Gonfaloniere of Florence
for the four years ending the 31st December, 1853."
The Corriere Mercantile, after quoting the above
decree, adds that on learning the dismissal of their
Gonfaloniere, all the members of the Municipal Council
had immediately- given in their resignations, and that
people were flocking in a,rowds to inscribe their names
at the door of the late Gonfaloniere. The Piedmontese
Gazette quotes letters from Florence, of the 30th ult.,
stating that several other municipalities of Tuscany
having followed the example of that of Florence in
voting addresses for the re-establishment of the
Constitution, the Cabinet has addressed menacing
circulars to all the Communes, enjoining to them to
abstain henceforward from such nets.

"'uLONDON, WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 9, 1850.

An intelligent foreigner affords us, in his opinion 1
of ourselves, a foretaste of the estimate of posterity.
Hence the comments passed upon our political insti-
tutions, or upon our social condition, by an observant
and unprejudiced traveller from the continent always
possesses for us a peculiar value and fascination.
Without, of course, the impassiveness belonging only
to the member of a remote generation, the citizen of
another, country is, at any rate, so far withdrawn
from the influence of our habits and predilections as
to be enabled to acquire a tolerably correct and un-
impassioned idea of the merits or demerits appertaining
to ui as a population. His views, at the least, are undis-
torted by the prejudices engendered by a more inti-
mate participation in our mode of living, in our
political broils, our polemical disputes, or our con-
ventional warfare. His judgment remains unwarped
by the heat of partizanship. He retains, in the
midst of all the agitations of this age of revolutionary
excitement, a certain appreciable serenity—a serenity,
in fact, sufficient to qualify him a critic, or at least a
scrutineer. . Withdrawn from the influences of our
national atmosphere by his own devotion to another
order of things elsewhere, he is enabled to regard us
with the comprehensive scrutiny of a synthetic specta-
to* Ilii survey in the abstract reaches farther than ours
could by any possibility, for he views us not in part,
but as a whole, from the distance of a dissimilar cul-
ture and the elevation of another order of govern-
ment. It is true, that with these incontestable ad-
vantages, a foreigner, when reviewing the position and
condition of a country like England, is too apt to mar i
the value of his estimate by generalizing upon points
where it would have been preferable to have
''vElirSiliznded to particularities. His survey is liable,

ARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY.
Our market to-day was well supplied with all kinds of
English Wheat from a large number of 2rlonday's un-
sold samples being on offer. As the attendance of
buyers was small, the demand ruled exceedingly heavy
at barely the late decline in value. The imports of
Wheat from abroad this week have been confined to
4;210 quarters, The trade was in a very inactive state,
and prices were with difficulty supported. No transac-
tions in flouting cargoes. Very little English Barley was
offering, but the supply of foreign was tolerably good.
Malting parcels sold at lull currencies; but grinding tied
distilling sorts were neglected. Malt, the supply of
which was good, moved off heavily at last week's quota-
tions. The Oat trade ruled steady, at fully Monday's
prices. Beans, Prans, Indian Corn, and Flour com-
manded very little attention.

O'CONNELL'S GRAVE.

The following letter appears in a morning paper of
yesterday, in reference to an article copied from a
Cork paper : _ _ _

" Sir,:--In your paper of this morning an allusion
is made to my father's burial-place at Glasnevin ; and
it is stated, on the faith of some nameless Excur-
sionist,' that the attendant or guide bad said that, until
certain monies were paid, the coffin should not be al-
lowed to be removed.

" The very ingenious argument of the writer of the
article proceeds to enlarge on this text. Unfortu-
nately, like many other ingenious lucubrations, it has
no foundation in fact ; and .the Excursionist' must
have either misunderstood what was said, or wilfully
misled the author of the article. The statement of a
servant should, I submit, not be taken as authority in
most matters; and, in justice to the employers of that
servant, it might have been well to have ascertained
the correctness of his statement.

" I shall content myself by simply contradicting
such statement. The Cemetery Company, no doubt,
will take proper measures to prevent mistakes on the
subject in future.
"It is unfortunately too much the habit in this
country to form conclusions on Irish matters upon in-
sufficient evidence, and upon none bas the custom been
followed more exactly than the present.
"I have the honour to be, Sir, yours, &c.,
" MAURICE O'CONNELL.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] l'he further examination of
the parties suspected of the Frimley murder will take place
on Saturday, which will enable the Observer of Sunday, Oc-

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

In publishing the following document, just issued
by the Admiralty, we cannot omit all expression of
our heartfelt satisfaction at the adoption of measures
which will most materially benefit the seamen of the
fleet, and the determination of the Admiralty to carry
them into effect as speedily as possible. 'We con-
gratulate their Lordships on the boldness of origi-
nating a measure which must tend to improve the
condition of the man-of-war's man, whether on duty
on board of ship, or enjoying his leave on shore; for
the enforcement of temperate conduct afloat must, to
a very great extent, influence him when not under
restraint, and from force of habit Jack will ac-
quire more general steadiness, and with more solid
comfortable enjoyment he will become less excitable
and nothing near so wasteful and reckless a spend-
thrift as we are accustomed to see him. The ten-
dency of these new regulations is to make all
our seamen better, if not wiser men ; but to
those who are married men, and have wives and
families mainly depending on their allotments,
this measure of the Admiralty will be a blessed boon,
for thereby they have secured to them the means
(small as they are) of rescuing their wives from
pinching penury, or their children from ragged
schools. Those only who have felt the poverty which
the want of a single shilling a week inflicts, can best
appreciate the advantages of this measure, which not
only gives increased wages to the seamen, but affords
them the opportunity of making increased allotments
to their fathers, mothers, sisters, wives, and families.
If the Admiralty deserve credit for their moral
courage in originating this new scale of pay and
provision, they and the committee appointed by them
are also entitled to the thanks of the public, for the
patience, intelligence, experience, and unwearied at-

tention they have brought to bear in the revision of
the old scale of pay and pensions; in the evidence
they elicited of their operation ; in arriving at the
sound conclusion they unanimously did; and in so
promptly determining to carry into effect the sub-
joined salutary measures:—

vase in the Vatican, which was found in the tomb of
Augustus, and was supposed to contain the ashes of

during the gale of wind, which had destroyed one of
the windows of the Vatican, and been shivered to
atoms.

DOVER.

On the evening of the 19th inst., in compliance
with a numerously-signed requisition, the Mayor, S.
Finnic, Esq., convened a common hall of the inhabi-
tants of Dover, to consider the propriety of adopting
an address to her Majesty, asserting their attachment
to her royal person, and their indignation at the late
encroachment of the Pope of Rome, and his preten•
sion to supremacy in our land, alike inconsistent with
the honour of the Crown and the liberty of the nation.
The Town-hall was crammed in every nook and
corner, there being, we should judge, not less than
1,500 persons present. The platform was raised
upon the left side of the ball, and surrounded by
the portrait of her Majesty, supported: on each side
by the insignia of the Cinque Ports volunteers, and
surrounded by laurel, &c. The Mayor occupied the
chair, and was supported on his right by our Hon.
Member of Parliament, E. R. Rice, Esq., and on his
left, by Sir Brook Bridges, Bart., and J. P. Plumptre,
Esq., M.P. Many of the most influential townsmen
were also upon the platform. Several speeches were
delivered and resolutions in accordance with the ob-
ject of the meeting carried.

RESTORATION OF LAMBETH

CHURCH.

To effect the desirable object of restoring and beau-
tifying this venerable and once handsome edifice, the
Rev. C. E. Dalton, the rector, has, by great exertions,
succeeded in getting up voluntary contributions, by
which a great portion of the whole sum required has
been raised, and P. C. Hardwick, Esq., appointed archi-
tect thereto. He has recommended the restoration of
the open timber roofs, to throw back the front of the
galleries so as to make the seats in and under them more
available, and leave the line of pillars and arches un-
broken. The windows to ba restored in Caen stone, on
the exact pattern of the only three which remain in
their original character. To make use of the vacant
space at the west end of the church, and re-arrange
some of the present pews, 295 additional sittings will
be provided, and better accommodation be secured for
the poor. The outer walls to be cased with Kettish rag-

THE WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE
EDW.NRD HOLLEST, of 'Fernley, Surrey —Fernley, Bag-
shut, November, 1850. —An earnest APPEAL to public benevolence
is respectfully submitted to a few friends and neighbours on behalf
of the WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE EDWARD HOLI EST,
who for a period of 15 years, in an exemplary manner, performed
the duties of his church. and was distinguished by his benevolence
and charity in the wide district under his charge. The act of
atrocity by which the Rev. Mr. Holiest was suddenly cut off is
universally known, but those only who are acquainted with his posi-
tion are aware that he never had the means of making a provision
for his widow. Under such circumstances, it is hoped that the case
of Mrs Holiest will commend itself to the generous consideration
of those who are blessed with the 'means of alleviating, so tar as
human sympathy and assistance can alleviate, the distress of a
family so tearfully bereft of its natural supporter. The income of
Mrs. Holiest does not exceed 40/. per annum, and subscriptions are
earnestly solicited in aid of these inadequate means. Subscriptions
will be thankfully received by the following bankers :—Messrs.
Hcrries, Farquhar, and Co.; Messrs. Williams, Deacon, and Co.;
Messrs. Barclay, Tritton, and Co. ; Messrs. Contts, and Co.; Messrs.
Smith, Payne, and Co; Sir C. Scott, Bart., and Co.,' I, Cavendish-

OLYMPIC THEATRE•

A. new farce, in one act, written by H. T. Craven,
Esq., with the title of Mind Your Stops, was pro-
duced last night, for the first time, at this theatre.
The interest connected with the farce is made to
centre in Mr. Compton, who, with his usual ability,
in the characlE r of Badenou, a hair-dresser of Baden,
afforded considerable amusement by the arrogant and
exaggerated airs which he assumed upon being in-
formed that lie was the fortunate holder of " No. 66 "
ticket in a lottery.
