We have received letters of the 29th of August from our
correspondent in the City of Mexico.
On the 15th instant, Vreneral Herra was elected President,

New Ministry was appointed :

War—General Araya.
Grace and Justice—Seib Oioto.

The French Minister not having received satisfa lion for
the insult offered to him at the end of May, has broken off
all communication with the Mexican Government, demanded
passports, and placed his nationel under the care of the Minis-
ter of Spain, as Ministre de
spindle.
The tariff is in a fair way of arrangement, the differences
between the two Chambers having been settled, and the de-
cree authorising a new tariff published.
No declaration of war has taken place, and the new Cabi-
net, from want of money or from prudential motives, has re-
mained perfectly passive.
The public display the greatest apathy in political affairs.
The state of credit of the Treasury is at the lowest ebb,
and there is no prospect of a loan being made.

The Washington Union, the official paper, says:—

" Just as we are going to press, we learn that Government
has received some interesting in'ormation from the capital of
Mexico, to the 23d of August, and from Vera Cruz to the
30th, inclusive. It is said from the capital, that the new
Cabinet is considered as opposed to the war : and even if it
were otherwise disposed, it has not the means to carry on a
war; that it is with the greatest difficulty it can raise the
means to defray its necessary daily expenses; and that the
war excitement is going down daily among all parties.
" The accounts from Vera Cruz, of the 29th, auto that
there has been a retrograde movement in regard to the inva-
sion of Texas—General Paredes absolutely refusing to march
his forces (7,000 troops) towards Texas; that he has him-
self repaired to Mexico, and others have followed his example.
The opinion was pretty well established at Vera Cruz, that
the Mexicans will never attempt to cross the Rio Bravo;
that they have made all the bluster they can; that they are
without money, without credit, and, consequently powerless;
and that they are, moreover, on the eve of a revolution,
which will overturn the present Government."
In a subsequent paragraph the official speaks yet more
confidently, and referring to these lateaccounts from Mexico
exclaims " Thus pass off the gasconades and blusters of
Mexico." So be it--and let us hope that neither by insult-
ing language in official quarters, nor by offensive demonstra-
tions on the part of the armed forces of the United States
stationed in and beyond Texas—may that feeble but
passionate nation, be driven into hostilities they would fain
avoid.

From Texas later intelligence, though of little im-
portance, has been received at New Orleans, by the brig
blaria Spears.
The Convention had not adjourned. The Austin cer-
respondent of the Galveston News states that they have
fixed upon 21 Senators and 66 Representatives to consti-
tute the Legislature. There had been an animated dis-
cussion of two days on the qualifications of voters. An
amendment was adopted,-but afterwards set aside, placing
all residents of Texas, at the time of the adoption of the
new Constitution by our Government, on the same fcot-
ing as regards citizenship and suffrage. It was doubtful
how the question would be finally settled. A great
amount of business remained to be done.

The boundary question, and the organization of the
State Government, were to be disposed of. President
Jones arrived at Austin on the 14th, and a resolution
was offered the next day for the appointment of a
commmittee to wait on him and consult with him touch•
ing the propriety of re-organizing the State Government
at once.

The Convention bad adopted the anti-duelling clause
engrossed on the constitution of Louisiana. Lotteries
are prchibited. Judges are to be nominated by the
Governor and confirmed by two-thirds of the Senate.
The term of office is six years.

ROYAL ADELAIDE GALLERY.

Yesterday this favourite establishment was 'visite&
during the day and evening by great numbers. Of the
morning entertainments, one of the most interesting was
1)r. Jones's Lecture on China and the Chinese,' which
was illustrated by the exhibition of many curiosities
from the Celestial Empire, including dresses, household
furniture, agricultural and warlike instruments, &c.
the course of the Lecture the Learned Doctor intimatedi
that he is shortly about to proceed into the provinces to•
repeat these Lectures, at the request of influential per-
sons who had heard them in this institution...
In the evening there was presented a new variation of
the Concerts a la Jullien, in which were introduced
several appropriated Terpsichorean illustrations by the
lately arrived Parisian dancers, Mademoiselle. Louise
and Monsieur Alexandre. These artistes were twice
encored. Miss Clairton was also encored in Zingarellis;
cavatina, " Sweetly o'er my senses stealing," and Mr.
Davis received very great applause in his performance
of Kwnig's " Post-horn galop." On the whole the
musical entertainment was of a superior order, and was
fully appreciated by the audience.
The laughing-gas, dissolving views, and philosophical
experiments, with the electrical eels, were as attractive.
as ever.

COURT OF EXCISE, Jun. 21.

(Before Captain PLTCY, J. F. STEPHENSON, Esq., and
J. C. ITERRIEs, Esq.)
EXTENSIVE ILLICIT DISTILLATION AND ATTAin

THE EXCISE OFFICERS.

Frederick Jones, alias Frederick Tiinberniere, of No.
5, Little Colling d woo street, Bethnal-green, was charged
with carrying on illicit distillation, and also with re-
. sisting the officers in the execution of their duty.
' Mr. W. Cartwright stated, that he went to the above
premises, accompanied by Messrs. Kiddle, Jones, and
IVallis, officers of Excise. After considerable trouble
they succeeded in effecting an entrance, and found a
large quantity of fermented wash, and other materials
used in distillation. They then proceeded to the house
No. 7. They inspected the lower part of the house.
and afterwards wished to examine the upper part, which
was refused. The defendant then came in, and, taking
up a bar of iron, with a dreadful imprecation, said he
would clear the house, and made a blow at the officers,
which fortunately missed them. They then returned
to the house, No. 5, the officer Kiddie climbing the
back wall to prevent anything being removed in that
direction. When defendant saw the officer upon the wall
he took a pole about fifteen feet in length, with which
he attempted to knock the officer down, and said "he
would smash the head of the first man that entered r"
but was prevented from doing so by the arrival of a body
of police. The officers then pursued their search, and a
cart being obtained they were about to deposit their
seizure in it, when defendant said that if they did take it
he would clear the house, and he would get forty men to
help him, and left to fetch them. In a short time he re-
turned with about that number, when a general melee
took place : bricks and other missiles were thrown at the
officers, the linch•pins were taken out of the cart-wheels,
and it was with considerable difficulty the mob were
prevented from cutting the harness to pieces. Eventu-
ally, however, the officers succeeded in carrying off their
seizure.

The other officers corroborated this testimony, and the
Court inflicted a penalty of 501.
John Nicholson and William Nicholson, wine-mer-
chants, of St. Martin's-lane, were fined 251. for having
the words " Licensed dealers in foreign wines" over their
door, having no such license.
London, England, 1845-01-22

CANTON RANSOM.

The last portion of the third instalment of the
twenty-one millions to be paid to this country as the
Canton ransom, has been received into the charge of
J. W. Cooper, Esq., of her Majesty's Treasury, from
on board her Majesty's ship Harlequin, Hon. G.
Hastings, and the Pelican, Captain Justice.
These ships delivered their valuable freight to Mr.
Cooper at Portsmouth, and the whole of the treasure,
in Sycee silver, has been brought to London, and de-
posited in the Royal Mint, to be credited to her Ma-
jesty's Exchequer.
The Harlequin and Pelican quitted Canton at the
same time, but the Pelican, a very old ship, being
found leaky, the half of the treasure on hoard her was
transhipped by Captain Justice to the Harlequin at
sea. By this Captain Hastings became entitled to
the freight payable under the royal proclamation for
the conveyance of the treasure to England ; but it
has come to our knowledge that he has abandoned
all claim to it, and thereby placing Captain Justice
in the same position as if he had conveyed home the
freight.
This conduct reflects the highest honour upon
Captain Hastings and the service of which he is so
gallant a member.
It has been stated that the Pelican came into har-
bour in a dirty state, but this we can contradict from
the evidence of an officer who boarded her imme-
diately on her arrival at Portsmouth.
We can also bear witness to the activity of the
authorities at Portsmouth on the occasion of the
Pelican grounding on cona'ng into harbour, although
much has been said to the contrary. The Pelican
has been built thirty years.

FOR ALL CASES OF SCURVY, SCORBUTIC HUAOUr S,
AND SCROFULA, BY HOLLOWAY S PILLS AND OINT-
31ENT.—EXTRAORDINARY CURE.—Henry Hill, now 8
footman to Lord 8., was lately discharged from the
Duke of I).'s service, in consequence of his having large
scorbutic blotches all over his hands and face, to his
great disfigurement. For twelve months he was treated
by his master's medical attendants, but to co purpose,
and the case was at last declared incurable, ard he was
discharged. The poor fellow
.then, as a fordo-n hope,
commenced using Holloway's Pills and Ointment, which
effectually eradicated the disease from his blood in less
than three weeks. Sold at Professor Ilolloway's Estab-
lishment, 1244, Strand (where advice may be had gratis)
and by almost all respectable medicine vendors through-
out the civilised world.
DUCHY OF CORN WALL.—The Commissioners of the
Duchy met at Liskeard on Thursday last, to consider the
objections made by the Duchy solicitor to the claims of
the tenants on certain coppice woods on that manor.
The claims, though exercised from time immemorial,
were declared to be forfeited or annulled by the late Act
of Parliament relating to the Duchy. The tenants pro-
pose to memorialise the Duchy Council, in the hope of
obtaining compensation for the loss of their rights.—

TIIE DUKE OF WELLINGTON AND THE PRESS.—
In relation to a paragraph on this subject, which we
copied yesterday from the Times, the Morning Post of
to-day has the following :—" A statcment having gone
forth to the effect that the Duke of Wellington has
denied (and that in no very courteous terms) those
facilities to the public press which have been hitherto
afforded upon the occasion of her Majesty honouring
with visits other noble members of the aristocracy, I feel
it right to observe that I have the best authority for
stating that no such letter as that which has been pub-
lished was ever written by his Grace, who, so far from
having refused the desired permission to those
Inv ho
i
sought t, has granted the same in the most obliging
mantor."—Post.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Jan. 21.)
SUGAR.—TO-day the market presented a flat app ar-
ance for British Plantation Sugar, the demand was
limited forthe scale and pan, and the rates accepted were
rattier those of Friday for brown, grey. inferior, and
middling yellow, but for the better kinds of the latter
merchants were enabled to obtain the previous cur-
rency, in consequence of the short supply in the
market. At public sale 117 hhds 3 trs Barbadoes were
disposed of at lull rates for fine, but all other kinds
went 6d to Is per cwt cheaper, low sold at 52s 6d to
53s 6d, middling 55s 6d to 535. good 60s to 61s 6d, good
middling 58s 6d to 595, and fine 66s Gd per cwt. The
total purchases are only 350 hhds and tierces.
COFFEE.—There has been little inclination manifested
by the home trade to purchase West India Coffee since
last Tuesday. Although the market has been sparingly
supplied, yet difficulty was experienced in obtaining
previous rates for small parcels by private contract ;
only 19 casks 17 brls were partly sold by public sale.
This afternoon the demand for Ceylon Coffee was not
so good, but holders were firm, and 1,140 ba.s at public
sale wero taken in at the full value, viz., good ordinary
pale at 51s, and very good ordinary rather green 525.
Of Manilla 1,200 bags sold, partly for home consumption
and exportation at 36s to 39s per cwt. Mocha is offer-
ing privately at a further reduction in prices.
TaA.—There has been little activity in the market,
but black or green Tea cannot be purchased upon lower
terms. Eor Congou former rates are insisted upon,

NEWS FROM PORTUGAL.

SOUTHAMPTON, JAN. 21.—The Peninsular and
Oriental Company's steamer Montrose, Capt. George
Wilson, arrived this morning at half-past six o'clock,
A.M., from the Peninsula. Her dates of departure are
as follow :—From Gibraltar Jan. 12, Cadiz 13th, Lis-
bon 15th (no communication with Oporto), and Vigo
17th. Ships of War lying at Gibraltar—Scout ;
none at the other ports. Vessels passed—ln the
Tagus on the 15th, the Peninsular and Oriental Com-
pany's steamer Queen. Off Portland, the Great
Liverpool. Specie on board-14 packages. Four
passengers.

From the intelligence brought by this acket, it
appears that the project of law for the abolition of the
foreign conservatorial courts was still under discus-
sion in the Chamber of Deputies. The privilege
now about to be abolished, is to the British residents
one of very great importance, inasmuch as it has
hitherto been their only protection against injustice
and oppression, and that the right of having mixed
juries in some, but not in all, criminal cases, is far
from being an adequate compensation for its loss.
The tobacco contract is likely to turn out a losing
speculation.
The English transport barque General Palmer,
bound from London, with a detachment of Royal
Marines for the Island of Ascension, and stores for
her Majesty's ships of war at Rio Janeiro, has put
into Lisbon in a leaky state.

We have heard with satisfaction that her Majesty's
Ministers have made such an arrangement as will in-
crease the income of Mlle. D'Este to 1,0001. a year,
being equal to that which she enjoyed during the life-
time of his late Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
ARCHES COURT, Jan. 21.
(Be'ore Sir H. JENNER FUST )

TIM OFFICE OP TUE JUDGE PROMOTED BY TROWERS V.

THE REV. JOHN HURST.

This is a proceeding of articles promoted by letters
of rcquest from the diocese of Chichester against the
RCN'. Mr, Hurst, Vicar of Thackham, in the county of
Sussex, for the " reformation of his soul's lie,dth," &c.
The charges against the reverend defendant were con-
tained in a series of articles, charging constent end pro-
miscuous adulterous connexion with two of his hoz -
yams, and with many of the wives of his parishioners:.
The facts are wholly unfitted for publication, though
dwelt upon at very considerable length by Drs. Hag-
gard and Hayford, who were civiliaus in support of the
articles, and they submitted that the Court ought not to
stop short at anything but a total deprivation. The
Learned Advocates contended that habitual adultery in
barns, in the fields, in the furze, &c., had been fully esta-
blished. That on some occasions he had brought his
son and daughters to the house of one of his parishioners
while acts of the grossest immorality were perpetrated
by the father up stairs—that he had attempted the
chastity of a young servant while two others of the•
househuld were in the same room, with whom it is
pleaded he had afterwards and previously had sexual in-
tercourse.

Dr...ADDAnts was heard on behalf of the Rev. Mr.
Hurst. It was a case which ought to have undergone a
preliminary investigation before the Bishop, and tht
probably the party might have submitted t• suspension-
The Court could not, upon the evidence adduced pro-
nounce a sentence which could have the effect of de-
priving the wife and family (eight children, as was
stated) of a home. The parties to prove the criminality
were evidently influenced by a most determined spirit of
hostility. Ile (Dr. Addams) could not justify the
language made use of by the Rev. Mr. Hurst, oor in-
deed some facts that had been proved against the party.
That there had been improper conduct could not be de-
nied—that the Rev. Gentleman was liable to censure—
to admonition—to suspension for a longer or shorter
time, could not be denied ; but, looking to former cases,
he (Dr. Addams) submitted that the Court would not
be justified in pronouncing a sentence of depritia,tion in
the present suit.
Dr. Phillimore, jun., remains to be heard ot;ti the
same side.

of the Admiralty, and his consequent inability to ap-
pear in his place, he would postpone the notice of
motion of which he had given notice with respect
to her Majesty's ships Hazard and Basilisk
at the islands of Otaheite from this day
till Friday. He would take that oppor-
tunity of saying, that though he perfectly
agreed with the expressions of the Noble Duke (the
Duke of Wellington) the other evening respecting the
courtesy of the House. Yet he thought the Noble
Duke had gone too far in that motion, ani that his
Noble Friend (the Marquis of Normanby) was right
in the course he intended to pursue.
Lord BROUGHAM said the Noble Earl had pro-
fessed to be a great patron of order, and yet he had
began with one of the most irregular things that
could possibly have occurred.
The Earl of MINTO said he would not trouble
their Lordships further than to express his opinion that
a notice was only necessary in cases where opposition
might be expected. In other cases he thought it was
still left discretionary with the party putting the
question, to give notice or not.
The Duke of WELLINGTON admitted the ex-
ception, and the matter dropped.
JEWISH DISABILITIES BILL.
Lord MONTEAGLE presented a petition in
favour of the Bill.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, in moving the
second reading of the Bill referred to by the petition,
just presented by his Noble Friend. As he did not
anticipate any effective opposition to the measure, he
should confine himself to stating very shortly the
motives and intention of the Bill. The object was to
get rid of the disabilities. Some anomalies, some
inconsistencies, and, he might be permitted to say,
some absurdities, which pressed upon persons pro-
fessing the Jewish persuasion. In order that he
might be fully understood upon the subject, he should
begin by shortly calling their Lordships' attention to
the position in which persons entertaining the Jewish
religion stood with respect to offices held under the
Crown. There was no objection to these persons
being placed in the commission of the peace for a
county, and many of them at present held the im-
portant and responsible office of county magistrates.

THE INCOME-TAX.

Mr. GREENS brought up the report on the income•
tax resolutions.
On the motion that it be read a second time,
Mr. CIIARLES BULLER rose to move—
That the circumstances under which the renewal of
the income- tax is at present proposed, are such as to
render it exceedingly impropable that Parliament
will have the power of dispensing with its conti-
nuance at the end of three years; and that it is,
therefore, the duty of this House to take care that
the tax be imposed in a form
in which its operation
shall be less unequal and inquisitorial than it now is.
He thought that no one would be disposed to believe
that in bringing the general circumstance under
which the income tax was to be renewed again before
the House he was at all induced to undertake
the task by the very great anxiety which the
House had evinced upon the subject.—(Hear.)
He was anxious to give the House an opportunity on
the present occasion, of explaining to the country and
to itself, if it could, the grounds, the principles, the
circumstances, the period, for which this tax was now
to be renewed, because he took the question as
to the period for which the tax was to
be renewed as the cardinal point upon which
pthreoprtityaexnow hinged, and on this must depend the
of imposing the tax at all.—(Hear, hear.)
It was owing to the shortness of the period for which
the tax was to be imposed, that they assented
to the tax without that grave deliberation
which so important a required.uestnionouseandout
Butside
there was both in thel
its,doors a want of determination and doubt upon the
subject which was very surprising. The Right Hon.
Baronet opposite was the only person who observed
any great decision and firmness of purpose. He
wanted to have the tax renewed without any discus-
