annulled, an application is to be made to the Ministry to

at Paris.
The Presse states, " that all its letters from Constantinople
mentioned that the relations of Sir S. Canning with Rifaat
Pacha were becoming daily more unfriendly. The British
Ambassador had vainly remonstrated with that Minister on
the dismissal by the Porte of Admiral Walker. Rifaat Pacha
maintained his decision, and justified it by the necessity in
which the Porte found itself of reducing its expenditure. It
was for a similar purpose, no doubt, that it recalled all the
young Turks studying abroad.
The Prussian Universal Gazette announces that the re-
ceipts of the German Customs Union, for the three first quar-

1842. The importation of cotton threads has increased, but
that of manufactured cottons has diminished.

are to have free access to the Peers' galleries in both Cham-
bers.

A correspondent who dates his letter Rome, Jan. 17, says,
the weather here is very cold—frost every evening, and the
thermometer has been as low as 25 Fahrenheit. Prince
George of Cambridge and suite, including the Marquis of
Worcester and Captain Macdonald, arrived ten days ago, for
some weeks' sojourn. The Duke and Duchess of Argyle and
family, Earl and Countess of Kinnoul, Earl and Ladies Cadogan,
Lord and Lady Brabazon, Lord and Lady Willoughby,
Lords Compton, Powerscourt, Duplin, and Poltimore, and a
host of other fashionables, are all here for the season. The
Chesterfield hounds meet in the Campagna twice or three
times a-week, and are regularly attended by a full field of
sportsmen, including the elite of the Roman chivalry—Prin-
cess Borghese, Aldobrandi, Canino, Doria, Chigi, and Odes-
calchi, &c. &c. When the meet is near Rome, as at Cecilia
Motella, on the Via Appia, the concourse of vehicles and
quadrupeds. is about as numerous as another celebrated hunt
on Easter Monday. Foxes swarm."

The Customs' return for Liverpool shows, that in 1842 the

4,121,646/. ; showing an increase, on that year alone, of
217,2671. It is satisfactory also to find that 1843 shows
almost an equality of aggregate revenue with 1841, in which
year the receipt was also 41,140,6161. Ils. 7d.
