preciated on data of this kind. The total value of
our Exports, last year, was, in round numbers,
131,000,000/. ; and of our Imports, say 68,000,000/. ;
together, 191,000,000/. ; and the total Revenue of
Customs netted thereon to 18,520,340/. Therefore the
total amount of our Exports and Imports, together,
this yesr, should be upwards of 212,000,0001., cal-
culated on the increased product of Customs. Now,
we cannot bring ourselves to imagine that there has
been any such accumulation in the transactions of
our general commerce as would repr_eeent this in-
creased aggregate of 21,000,0001, on Exports and
Imports.
Besides, had there been any such incredible ad-
vance in the extent of our general dealings, as this
calculation would infer, it must have been diffused
throughout, and made itself sensibly felt, in all the
great branches of our productive and material in-
dustry. No department can hare much languished
for want of full employment and active demand.
There must have been no strikes, no furnaces put
out, no mills discontinued, no factories shut up, no
fisheries deserted, no shipping dismantled, no la-
bourers discontinued, no looms unemployed, no
surplus supply, and no diminished markets of in-
dustrial occupation. In proportion as this whole-
some state of things has prevailed, capital must have
been called into new employment, wages must have
circulated, and consumption of exciseable commodi-
ties must have largely increased. It would atllerd us
no pleasure—and the reader as little gratification
to contrast, with this hypothesis, the real picture of
affairs in some of the northern and western districts
)f this kingdom ; or to follow out the inferences to
which the poor-law returns, at home—the memorials
of our planters and proprietors in the West Indies,
and our other colonial possessions—would infallibly
lead us. Suffice it to say, that the Revenue return;
exhibit, under the head of Excise (always the great
test of the means of consumption in the labouring
masses of the country), a slight decrease on the pre-
sent quarter as compared with its correspondent in
1843, and on the whole year an increase by no
means proportionate to such an actual increase of
Customs as has been realised, or such an increase of
)ur general commerce as the hypothetical average we
have struck, supposes. The Customs' Improvement
'oust, therefore, be traced to other causes. 'We are
willing to attribute it to that from which The Sun
has so often predicted that results of this gratifying
nature would ensue—namely, an increased, though
tardy, vigilance, on the part of the controlling autho-
rities of the Board of that Department, and the con-
sequent check upon that destructive system of fiscal
frauds and depredations which their supineness or
rnbecility has allowed, for so many years, to prevail
with almost perfect impunity.
Then we must always remember, that of the vast
aggregate of this year's net Revenue, 50,741,6221.,
eo less an item than 5,148,740/. has been contributed,
in the thirtieth year of profound peace, by that
'candalous enormity of financial tinkering, Sir R.
Peen's property-tax. We doubt whether even the
nodesty of the Premier will venture to take
my credit for the astonishing yield of this con-
Tivance for depleting the plethoric pockets of JOHN

The Paris papers of Monday give full details of the
proceedings at Windsor Castle on Thursday, the
visit of the KING to Twickenham, the investiture of
his MAJESTY with the Order of the Garter, and the
address of the Corporation of Windsor with the
Keno's reply. The Constitutiotine/ passes over these
events without any remarks. Not so the National
and the Commerce. The former, after quoting that
part of the speech in which he expresses his wish for
peace and the satisfaction. he felt on receiving the
address, exclaims "a /a bonne heure. Well ! this is
plain enough, and here we find M. GUIZOT
bodily. Peace everywhere and always figures as
the burden of the harangue." The writer goes on
at some length in the same style, evidently blinded
with rage ; for while reading The Sun he imagined he
was reading the Times. "It is not surprising then,"
he adds, "that Louis Purtirrn should have been
honoured whether at Windsor or Twickenham with
the following bucolic strains (distraitions bucolique)
with which the visit to Twickenham had inspired the
Times. The writer then quotes the " Lucolic strains'
which appeared in this journal, and was transferred to
the columns of our morning Contemporary. The
Commerce, which has abstained more from offensive
remarks than some of the other Opposition journals,
breaks out at last in these words :
" The King has been invested with the Order of the
(tarter. Since Henry the Fourth no French Sovereign
has taken part in a similar ceremony. Under any other
circumstance we might have considered this as a symbol
of alliance, and have rejoiced at it. But in these
days of constitutional doctrines and institutions
it is without any political signification. Queen
Victoria and King Louis Philippe may exchange all
their decorations Avithout'imposing any obligation on
their respective Governments. Wo can see in all this
nothing more than an exchange of courtesy—a
code of manners for the especial use of Princes. The
people have nothing to expect from it. How can we
otherwise account fur the contrast between the gracious
politeness of the Court of Windsor, and the increasingly
outrageous language of the English journals of all par-
ties ? It is evident that the chiefs of the two countries
exchange courtesies and tender their hands
to each other above the heads of their people.
In this they play their parts of Princes reigning
by virtue of the constitutional principle. It is a royal
comedy, nothing more. There is something, how-
ever, which is deserving of the most attentive consideration.
and the most severe scrutiny. It is the conduct of those
Ministers who have lcd the people of the two countries
into that state of permanent irritation and distrust which
finds expression in the ever violent language of the
London press, and in the animated replies of that of
France. We have before said what we cannot too often
repeat, that the miserable policy of the English and
French Ministers has for many years revived slumbering
rancour, and provoked disunion between England and
France. Our national feeling, wounded by the demands
of the English Ministry, by the despotism of their claims,
by the ening injustice of their encroachments, has again
turned against the English alliance. bir Robert Fed
has completed the work by demanding, with violence, in
full Parliament reparation from France for an
act provoked by the intrigues of biz own agents.
tier Ministry has aggravate i the ferment of
discord by e-:nsenting to grant these reparations
when any other in his place would have
an equivalent frola the arrogant power which required
them. Certainly we fain take literally, and as addressed
to all France, the exaggerated anti courtier like praises
which the English papers lavish on the King who re-
presents this country. lint we are forced to divide their
language into two parts, that of flattery which is ad-
dressed above, and that of insult which is aimed below."
The Journal des &bats, in the absence of political
events of importance, gives the following historical
account of the present state of steam machinery in

" Our progress in the construction of steam-engines
is not of an old date. At the first it went on very slowly,
but in this, as in our iron- works, we have since made
up for lost time by our exertions, as the following sta-
tistics will prove, In 1820, there were not more than
200 steam-engines, whether of high er low pressure, in
France, and about one-forth of which were of English
lt
make. In 1830, this number increased tot 72, of Whielt

and considerable. In general result, the 3,053 fixed en-
gines give a collective force of 39,000 steam horse-power,
presenting, at the rate of three draught horses for every
steam-horse-power, a force equal to 117,927 horses, or
819,189 men. The 204 locomotives at 45 horse-power
each, make a power of 9,180 draught horses, or 64,260
men ; and, in fine, the 337 engines working in the steam-
boats give a power equal to 35,003 horses, or 245,000

dustry."
The Memorial Bordelais has the following :
" By the Po, Captain Chevalier, we have got news
from Senegal, of August 11. The gum contract is com-
pleted, but the produce is not more than one-third of the
ordinary quantity. The war, which lasted for five years
between the colony and the kingdom of Fonta, and which
did so much injury to the small trade, by preventing in-
tercourse with Gahm, was happily terminated. Chef de
Battalion Caille, Director of the Home-office, had just
arrived at St. Louis, bringing the treaty of peace with
the Almemy. Even the chiefr, rho had been most
hostile, readily affixed their signatures to it, so gratified
were they at seeing a renewal of intercourse between our
settlement and their country. In consequence of the
cessation of hostilities with Fonts, M. Houars, the Go-
vernor ad interim, took measures fur insuring effective
protection to all the small vessels during their voyage to
Galam. The authorities bill be the better seconded in
these measures, as the iron steam-boats destined to serve
on the river, and which left Rochefort at the beginning
of August, will not be long before they arrive."
The Didon, Gloire, Danaki, N' .aide, Erigone, and
Psyche frigates of the port of Brest, are, says the Con-
stitutionncl, to be got ready with all possible speed to
be placed en commission de rade. At Toulon it is asserted
that the Montebello, Trident, C‘re:eux, St. Puri, and
Ville de Marseille ships of the line' are to be placed in a
short time en commission de rade. The Asmodee steam-
frigate, lately gone to Tunis, will remain under the orders
of Admiral Parseval Deschesues. By the return of ti e
Triton to Tculon, and the departure of the Inflexible and
Belle Poule for Cherbourg, there remain in the Strait of
Gibraltar none of the large vessels that took part in the
expedition against Morocco.

PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAT.-At eight o'clock this
morning the royal yacht, the Victoria and Albert,
left the harbour under a salute of artillery, com-
mencing with the 'Victory, dressed in flags, and with
manned yards, quickly followed by the batteries on
shore, the French steamers Pluton and Caiman, the
brigs, and the large ships of war, both French and
English, at anchor at Spithead ; all the vessels were
beautifully decorated with flags—both French and
British ensigns waved in unison. The French ships
Inflexible and Belle Poule fired their salutes in a new
manner; and certainly it added much to the roaring
of the cannon. They fired at least eight guns at the
same instant, The roar from this species of firing
made the other guns sound like musketry. At nine
the royal yacht neared the Gomer, when she stopped
her engine, the royal barge was manned, and the
Queen and Prince Albert, attended by the Admiralty
Lords, visited the Gomer. On her arrival on board,
she was received by Admiral La Susie and the officers.
The royal standard was hoisted at the main-top-gal-
lant-mast head of the Gomer, the yards manned, and
royal salutes poured forth their thunder from the
Inflexible, 90; Belle Poule, GO; and the steamers.
Pluton and Caiman, which was returned by all the
British squadron and the batteries. The Queen re-
mained on board the Gomer upwards of an hour
She then went in her barge to the Victoria and Al-
bert, and proceeded, at a slow rate, through the line
of ships. On her leaving the Gomer she was again
saluted by the French ships, which was returned by
the English. All the ships manned yards as the royal
steamer passed them in succession, and the three-
deckers manned their gunwales, a line of men stand-
ing on the hammock settings, from the righthead
to the poop. The marines were also under arms
on the poops of the ships, who presented arms
as the Victoria passed them, their bands playing
" God save the Queen." After passing the line of
ships, full speed was put on the royal steamer, and
she was soon out of sight on her way to Cowes. The
French King's sailing yacht, the Reine Amelie, was
towed out of harbour by the Echo steamer, and an-
chored near the Gomer; the Kestrel, Lord Yar-
borough's yacht, was likewise towed out, and took
part in the saluting business. Numbers of other
yachts were likewise under weigh; and a variety of
steamer, all gaily dressed in flags, were sailing and
steaming about Spithead.
