SPIRIT OF Trir, PUBLIC JOURNALS.

The account of the Quarter's Revenue has been
published; and a melancholy account it.is. We are
told, indeed, that we ought to consider it a " satis-
factory" - statement, and people, no doubt, there are
who. may, _derive satisfaction from the most pregnant
evidences of .our decline as an opulent community.
Cobbett, for instance, will exult in his next minis
bar at, this highly gratifying fruit of the national pro-
gress ; and perhaps, the Sieurs O'Connell and Shiel
may boast of it as an harbinger of emancipation.—
It „appears, then, upon the face of the Government
returns, that the income of the year preceding the 10th
of October, 1825, was, in round numbers, about
49,760,000/, and ,that of the year to the 10th of Oc-
tobers 1826,. 46,500,0001, leaving a deficit on the
year 0f1,260,004/. It appears further, that the Oc-
toberquarter 0'1'182.5 produced of revenue 13,180,0001.
and that of the last quarter, to get. 10,12,290,0001.,
leaving an apparent deficit of 890,0001. We say an
apparent deficit, because the real falling off is very sett-
eddy larger. We refer to, our city article for proofs,.
established on official documents, and on the speech
of the' Chancellor of the Exchequer himself, that the
wine sdrawback, amounting to 1,050,0001., was . de-
ducted from the October quarter of 1825, and ought
to be credited to that quarter, in a comparison between
itsand the corresponding one just concluded! The
sum therefore of the existing deficiency ought to be
measured by the surplus of the October quarter of
1825, actually forthcoming and available, as revenue
over that of 1826,, plus the amount of wine duties
repaid to the merchants in the former quarter ; the
total of the two elements constituting a. real balance
against the last quarter, of about 1,940,0001., at
the rate of.something more than 74800,000/. per
annum. It will not escape the public observation
how. conspicuous has been the falling off of the
Customs within the last three months; 698,0001.,
the ministerial statement, is pretty well. But there
is likewise an addition to be made to, this allowance,
however liberal. , foreign silk goods were wholly
prohibited last year, they are this year admitted on
payment of a considerable duty. It has been said re-
peatedly, at least we are told so by the silk-manufac-
turers, and all the enemies of a free trade.in that arti-
cle, that there is and has been a large importation of
manufactured silk, and of course, as Ministers
.boast
Of the efficacy of their measures for the suppression of
smuggling, there must have been a large amount of
illitys So with regard to foreign corn of all descrip-
ticms: it was last year prohibited by law. During a
large part of this October quarter,' it has been, ad•
mitred subject to a duty. Take away these two duties
from the receipts of last quarter, and see how large an
augmentation must be made to the difference between
the, two quarters beyond the sum acknowledged by Mi-
nisters of 608,000/. That there has been.a falling off.
in the stamp &les of about 238,0001. this last quar-
ter, is to us no suliket of surprise or of regret. That
branch of the revenue luisl been swollen unnaturally by
the activity of fictitious capita!, and the baneful pre-
valence of paper credit, or, ni other words, by the sys-
tem of eternally running in debt, and if the country
pays for the suppression of it, even after the rate of a
million sterling per

upon it the deepest public attention: we mean the

. uneasiness of richeS, could excuse. What is to be time
end of our finances; if the same scale of expenditure
be persisted in, now that the produce of the taxes is
declining at the rate of seven or eight millions a year,
as when it stood so many millions higher? These
gorgeous palaces," triumphal arches, and ,other
branches of holyday finery, must be given up, or even
the' lame of a sinking fund will be obliterated from
the yearly budget. Nor this all—if these- overs
grOwn establiAnnents, which vanity, cupidity, or taste
for. warlike. oatentations has engendered—if they be
not curtailed by Parliament, and immediately, it is not
'only the noininal provision for a rrmmnote effect upon the
debt of more than 700,000,000/., but the means, of
paying its regular interest must be withheld; and let
the eSsurt asid aristocracy then consult their Annual
Regisiert for the causes and history of the French

revenue account, this quarter, presents A den6ell of
890,050 t, as compared with the soesespout ing
quartet' (Mast year; but the deficiency is in retu;:y ids
niusly beyond this, as we will proceed to show. In
Memt fn 1425, the duty on wine was reduced, and the
reduction extended to the stock in hand of the wine-
merchants.. Now, according to the Speech of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, on the 13th of March
last, the amount of the wine drawback on the stock
in hand 'WO 1,050,0001. ; and this sum having been
•
paid to the wsne-merchants by the Excise in the latter
end of July, 1025, it follows that the Exeise revenue

and to contradict
This is as.the Matter really stands ;
I
Its is to contradict the. Chancellor of the Exchequer;
for this is the manner in which he expresses himself in
the speech to which we have before alludeth--

duty to the holders of the stock on hand. This was no lea than
11050,0001..*4t formidable sum, and much more, as I have already
observed, than I aoneeived it would lie. Since, however, ►it
arose from it cause of only casual occurrene,e, and since there can
be Ao ortrativa paraliti W it upon the Wiciso awl cutout* of the

present year, I am entitled to assume (supposing no other circum-
stance interferes to reduce the net receipt of the revenue) that this
sum of 1,060,000/. would be receivable in the year 1826-;. that
is to say, that it will not be abstracted from the gross revenue of
Customs and Excise in 1826, as it was in 1825."
It appears, therefore, according to their own ac •
counts, that the deficiency of the present quarter
amounts to 1,868,165/.—lbid.

,-- ,
While-one Class. of persons are urging the Govern-
ment to employ the unengaged artisans upon public
works, and would have them level hills, deepen rivers,
and improve the roads, at the public expellee, others
are dealing out censure no less warmly against some
of these very public works themselves. Our readers
will readily perceive that we allude to what is said re-
lative to the alterations at Windsor, and the buildings
going on in the Parks. At first it may appear strange
that a period of so much financial difficulty should
, hive been chosen for such an outlay. There are other '
reasons, too, why these matters, which have been delayed
so long, might, perhaps, as well have been postponed,
at least for the present ; and the whole affair might, we
think, have been rendered more palatable to the na-
tion, had the Commissioners of Woods and Forests,
who profess to have such ample means for other pur-
poses, found in the Crown lands•the necessary funds
for those purposes. On the other hand, the King of
England is worse lodged than many of ,his subjects is
an old and trite observation, and not more trite.thau true.
But the nation having, either from inability, econo-
my, or some other cause, staved off the subject of palace
building so long, there would have been no great
harm perhaps, under all the circumstances, of the case,
bad the next age been left to consult its own taste 14
wants upon a subject on which this, as well as the
last, has been so niggardly. But though this is the
view of the subject which we should have been inclin-
ed, perhaps, to take, had it now been mooted for the
first time, we do not, on
.the other hand, look upon
the steps which have been taken, or the plans which
have been adopted, in quite so glooMy a light as some
of our contemporaries appear inclined to do. The
improvements at Windsor seem to be very much a na-
tional object, and to fall in very generally with the
national taste. That the • expenditure will far exceed
the' original estimate and design, is no more than we
expected, , and indeed was probably expected by-Mini-
sters themselves when they nominated one of the
gentlemen opposite" (Mr. Baring) as one of the Com-
missioners. About the new palace in St. James's Park,
there has not been all the candour and openneSs which
we should have liked to have seen upon the occasion.
The public were led at first to suppose that nothing
more was originally intended but to make such altera-
tions in Buckingham House as would render it a
suitable residence for the King. Instead of altering
it, however, the whole, or nearly the whole, of the
fanner palace has been razed to the ground, and an
entirely new one is building at an expense, as far as
has been yet calculated, of upwards of 2.50,0001.---
Now here we think a march has been stolen upon the
public, which they have some reason to complain of.
Had the whole intention; and all its consequences,
been fairly put before Parliament in the first instance,
there is a spirit both of generosity and - pride among
the people that would in all probability, have yielded,
after, perhaps, a little of that grumbling for which
John Bull is both noted and privileged. But even as
it is, the country need not look upon the expenditure
as one .lif entire loss. No small part of it returnslO
the revenue in the shape of taxes ; while the number
of mechanics who are thusemployed,is a circumstance
which cannot but be beneficial.- as far as it goes, to
that class of the community who are 'now in so much
want of labour. Of the other palace, in the Green
'Park, the less, we fear, that is said, the better. The
attempt to throw the expense of it upon the public,
will be one of the most indiscreet acts that :Ministers
could possibly commit : and we would earnestly con•
jure all parties, if it be yet posible, to pause before
the die Is cast on a topic which will be so generally
condemned. There are obvious reasons of delicacy
why we do not, wish to enlarge tipmithe subject—but
)110'1114y feel, and yet lie firm.7—ifforning Herald.

A PICTURESQUEWAA TU OUR ON THE RIVE
BY BARON MEDNIANSKI.

THE CASTLE or CSEITIIF, IN HUNGARY.-" The CRS
of Cseitlte, on the \Vaag, is now but a mass of ruins a
rubbish. After having belonged to Matthias' Corvinus
and to Maximilian 11., it fell into the hand* of Elizabeth
Bathory, niece of Stephen Bathory, King of Poland, and
wife of Francis Nadasdy. This Princess has given an un-
happy celebrity to the castle, where she displayed for many
years. a degree of eruelty of which history can afford few
examples. She educated in her residence indigent young
women, to whom she gave portions, and married them on
eertain remarkable occasions in the year ; but she punished
with severity and violence the most trifling faults, and
seemed to take pleasure in seeing these innocent creatures
suffer. One day she struck one of them in a brutal
wanner ;, and the blood of the :victim having flown into
her ewe, she ran to a mirror to wipe it tiff. She fancied
that her skin became whiter, more beautiful, and more
brilliant; and the;idea occurred to her of renewing her
youth by bathing herself in the blood of these unfortunate
girls. Two old elnunber.maids and her dwarf.Pitzko as,
suited her in this horrible project. The youthful female
attendants successively disappeared, and what is alnuist
inconceivable, above three hundred had been sacrificed to
the caprice' of this ferocious woman before any discovery
was made. At length, a young man, having lost his in-
tended bride in this manner, conceived some suspicions,
and, by metres of money, even obtained the mortal remains
of her whose loss he deplored. .Stung with indignation,
he hastened to Presburg, where he loudly proclaimed his
.grief and his despair. As a Princess was implicated,
tlicorge Thurzo, the Palatine of the kingdom, resolved :to
repair in person to the spot ; where he surprised the four
monsters in the fact, at the very moment when their vic-
tim was expiring, after liSving in vain struggled with her
executioners. Proceedings weep commenced, and the
whole published, to satisfy the public indiption. h

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

- MANSION-HOUSE.—The Loan Maven was occupied for
some time in further investigating the case regarding the loss of a
parcel enabling 200 sovereigns, which was forwarded by the Man-
chester Defiance coach, and the guard who went with the coach
from Leicester to Ashbourne was in attendance, pursuant to pro-
mise, to explain all that he knew on the subject.
Wm. Deming, the guard, was then examined. He said that
he had been gourd of the coach fur nine years,
and
on the 9th of July last. The coach gets into Leice7telli on dots
on between
y
five and six in the morning. He has no recollection of such a
parcel, and thinks that jilt had arrived he must have noticed it,
as he was aware that such parcels were in the habit of coming,
although he did not know what they 'contained.
' Mr. Lee, on the part of Messrs. Waterhouse, now submitted
that his clients had done all in their power to unravel the case—
. they had brought this,guard up, at some expense, and were now
ready to give every facility for meeting , the question in the shape
of a civil action.
The complainant's solicitor declared that his belief was, that
the parcel never left the booking-office.
Mr. Lee, with some warmth, reprobated such an assertion,
as levelled against several clerks whose characters were irre-
proachable.
Mr. Bradley (the complainant) wished positively to deny as
assertion that Mr. Lee had made at the former investigation, that
he (Mr. Bradley) had offered to settle the business for MR. He
assured his Lordship that he never made any such offer, and, on
the contrary, would pursue the law, to the utmost until lie ob
tained his 2001.
The Loan Marna thought nothing further could be done in
the business, but he repeated what he said on the former investi-
gation, that as a matter of caution the way-bill and the parcels
ought always to be compared when the guard of a coach was
phauged, he repeated this because a Morning Paper (the Morn-
iny Herald) had taken up the subject and had remarked, in an-
swer to his observations, that the delay occasioned by such a mea-
sure would be too great ; • now he was certain that no extra delay
need be created by a such a insecure being adopted, and he could
produce instances of it; Messrs. Collins' Southampton coaches,
regularly changed guards•at Farnham, and the plan was there
adopted with the greatest ease.
Mr. Lee—But the practice in our line is for one guard to give
the other guard credit for his honesty.
The LOUD MAYOR.—Then that is perfect madness, to make
one man accountable for property which he does not know that
he ever had in his possession. I certainly, at the same time,
highly disapprove of the mode resorted to by Messrs. Bradley fur
conveying this property. The case was then dismissed.
AIABLBOROUGH-STREET.-- Charles Thomas White, a
bookseller, who has been several days in custody on a charge of
arson, by setting fire to his house, No. 265, High Holborn, was
brought to this office for a second examination yesterday.
Mr. ALLEY attended
-for the prosecution, and Mr. Anos.ritos
• for the prisoner.
'ln'coneequence of Mr. Alley not having been present at the first
examination of the iwisoner, and that examination having taken
place, too, before Mr. Derat, the Magistrate, who was absent yes-
terday, and in whose stead Sir GNORGE FARRANT presided, the
whole of the evidence taken down on the first occasion, and which
we detailed on a former day, was read over by Mr. Fitzpatrick,
the chief clerk, on the prisoner being placed at the bar. The only
alteration or addition. made to their evidence by any of the former
witnesses, all of whom were present, was by Samuel Furzmau, the
watch-house keeper of St. Giles's parish. . This witness stated, in
iuldition to his former evidence, that on the day but one after the
first fire at the prisoner's house; on the sth of August, the witness,
the prisoner, and two other persons, met at the house of witness's
brother, which is a public-house, and, while speaking on the, sub-
ject of the fire and the links that were supposed to have caused it,
the prisoner observed that he had dined the day before with his
mother, and she reminded him that seven or eight months
ago there had been some links in the house. Witness replied
that it seemed odd he should say so now, when on the day of the
fire he positively declared to him (witness) that there never had
been any links in the house. The prisoner then said that lie had
recollected, on his mother reminding him of it, that one night
he had a party of friends at his house; they were sitting in the
open air, in the yard, and the candles having been blown out, they
had some links or torches lighted instead. After this conversation,
witness said that himself, Mr. Lazarus, the then lodger of Mr. White,
and Mr. White himself, went the same evening to the shop
of Mr, Bradford, where some links were ascertained to have been
bold the day before the tire, to see' if Mr. Bradford could be able
to say any thing as to their identity with, the purchaser of the
links. Mr. Lazarus lirst asked Mr. Bradford, 'f Am I the per-
son to whom you sold the links?" Mr. Bradford. replied, .' Cer-
tuinly not."
Mr. White, without putting any question, said, that he could
be able to prove by both hie servants, that he was not out of bed
until past 12 o'clock on the day the links were sold by Mr. Brad-
ford, as lie said, about the same hour.
Mr. Bradford observed, that if he saw persons in their morn-
ing gowns, lie would be the better able to judge as to their identity.
Mr. Lazarus immediately said, that for his part be would go
home and dress successively us every dress he had, or conic in a
state of nudity, if necessary, to be inspected by Mr. Bradford.
Witness then asked Mr. White if he would have any objection
to put on his dressing-goWii, and let Mr. Bradford see him in it?
The prisoner replied, that indeed he should do no such thing as
to make a common puppet-show of himself in such a manner for
any body: having thus concluded his evidence, this witness said
that he wished to know from Mr. Blunt, the prisoner's solicitor,
what he meant by saying, when he (the witness) called on him to
inquire the address of the prisoner's mother-in-law, at Kentish-
town, that he would get nothing in that point, for that he (Mr.
Blunt) had been there before him? •
• Mr. Awn-altos desired Mr. Blunt not to make any reply : this
was no evidence, and had nothing to do with the case.
Mr. Ataxy said, that although it was not certainly evidence,
yet it was material to be stated. .
" Material ?" bald! Mr.. Anaseites, " I don't know what it
can be material for, unless to make a paragraph in the news-
papers."
Mr. Asa.uv—l have nothing to do with newspapers, and I
don't know what you mean by always talking to me about news-
papers. I don't understand you.
Mr. Meg:nos—Well; make a good paragraph, that's what I
mean.
Thomas Dodwell, ehopman to Mr. Bradford, oil and colour-
roan, recollected selling, ia the presence of Mr. Bradford, on the
4th of August, the day before the first tire at Mr. White's house,
two links of rather an uncommon kind, having considerably inure
pitch on them than is usual, and believed the part of the burned,
link now produced to belong to one of those then sold. They were
purchased by a man who wore a gray morninglown:betweeu ele-
ven and one o'clock in the day.
Mr. Alley-.:have you seen the, person who purchased those
links since that time to the beet of your belief?
Witness (hesitating).--I think I have. (Here the witness he-
came deeply affected, and shed tears.) ,
Mr. Alley—Do not distress yourself. Your feelings do you
great credit, but you are sworn to speak the truth, and, however
painful, you are bound to-do so. Have you seen the man who
purchased those links since you entered this office to-day?
Witnea3, weeping bitterly.—Yes, I haVe. * .
Mr. Alley—Look round anti see if you can point him out.
The witness was a long time before he could turn round his
head, bet at length he did, his eyes streaming with tears, and point-
ting to the prisoner said, that is the man standing at the bar.
Mr. Alley_have you seen him with Ida morning gown on lately ?
Witneas—Yes, I have . be wore it at the watchhouse the night
tt i
e s
ame
of the fire, and I saw trim thee.
Mr. ALLlY—fiad you seen him from the time of selling the
links until yousaw ld.m at the watchhouse?
Witness---Yea,-several times, and I felt satisfied in my mind
that he was •
iiiusiviej,ile and, opv aboutlit b,t one
trap-door,
,
person who had purchased the links.
John Pope, linen-draper, 263, High Holborn, on the night of
the lut fire at Mr. White'e house, slept in the attic of his own
Il
heard some persons knocking at the
trap-door iwthe roof, and calling out for God's sake to let them
"n" in, for that their, lioese was on lire. He did, as soon as
p
Stud. let in Mr. and Mrs. White anti
their female servant. Witness then dressed himself and gave an
alarm of fire to the Watchthan, who Ihrced open the door of Air.
White's house. Witness went in at the same time. The par-
lour flisor seemed to-have been set on, firo from a room or cellar
underneath, as the plaster was broken down, and the laths, &e.
appeared to have been set fire to by holding a flame up Noised
them. .

Harriet Pigg, in the service of Afro. Bigg, the mother• in-law
of the prisoner, residing at No. 4, Afoutague-place, Kentish-town,
deposed, that the prisoner slept with his wife at Mrs. Bigg's house
nu the five previous nights to the fire, at his house on the 18th of
September; On that morning lAs shop-boy came out from town,
shout six o'clock, and hati mt.. White called up, and told hire that
there was a fire at his house in Holborn, but Mr. White replied
that that was all nonsense, and sent him back to town again.
About ten o'clock, ea M. White was just stepping on the coach
to come to town, Catherine Taylor, his female servant, arrived,
and told him again of the fire, upon which he observed to witness,
" Afory," said he, (for they call me Mary, said the witness, though
my name is Harriett), " they tell rue my house has been on fire,
but I mot but had very loua arm eel op ftro lust eight,'

There is a garden door at the bask of Mrs. Diges bout*, by Which
any one may go out. Witness regularly bolts this door every
night, and she never found it open in the mining until the
morning of the 18th of September, after the fire at Mr. White's

house.
Mr. Alley now called for the boy, Daniel Langdon, who had
gone out to Kentish-town with an account of the fire to 111 r.
White
Catherine Taylor, the prisoner's servant, said, that the boy was
not present, and she understood from him that morning, that Mr.
Blunt, the prisoner's solicitor, desired him not to attend.
Mr. Auer, with great warmth, expressed much indignation
at this improper interference of Mr. Blunt's; but, that gentleman
explained that the reason he desired the boy not to attend was be-,
cause he considered him as a witness, not for the prosecution, but
for the prisoner.
Mr. ALLEY still seemed very warm on this point, and by way
of keeping him in countenance, Mr. Adolphus got into a passion,
too, at last.
Mr. ALLEY said he never would be put doWn by the paision of
any man.
Mr. Anotanaus—l don't want to put you down, nor am I in
any passion. I very often appear in a passion when lamby no
means so.
Mr. BLUI4T said, the boy should he produced next day, and
this quieted Mr. Alley.
Mr. Hopkinson, corn-factor, residing at No.. 5, Tavistack-
place, said, that the.house occupied by the prisoner, in Holborn,
is rented of him (111 r. Hopkinson) by the prisoner's mother.'
Frederick King, a clerk in the British Fire Assurance Office,
produced the account-hook from the office, and deposed, that the
house No. 265, High Holborn, with the stock in trade, furniture,
&c. was insured in that office, in the year 1828,, by the pri-
soner's mother, for 1,0001. hitt that policy expired on the 30th 1
of May last.
John Nelson, another clerk in the British Fire office, deposed,
that on the 30th of May, the prisoner took out another policy
insurance ori his house, stock in trade, &e., for 3,5001. naming
2,800/. fotohis stock in trade.
Mr. Wilton, 'a bookseller, also in Holborn, said, that he knew
the extent of the prisoner's stock in trade, and he did not value it
at more than 8001. at outside ; as for 2,8001. it was quite out of
the question.
The prisoner was then remanded until this day, when his final
examination will take place. The office was crowded to excess
during the examination.
UNION-HALL.—On Tuesday afternoon, as this office was

COUCH TO PRRVENT SEA SICKNESS.-Mr. :
Pratt, of New Bond-street, is Soliciting a patent for a swinging
elastic couch, to be used on ship-board, for the prevention of sea
sickness. The contrivance is partly his own, and partly the in-
vention of a gentleman iu Paris. Two elastic seats upon the
French plan have been lately brought into England by the Baroness
de Gavedall Genney, who has satisfactorily proved by her own ex-
perience, and that of her maid-servant, the effective operation of
the contrivance, having, in her voyage, encountered a turbulent
sea, without feeling, while seated upon the cushion, any of those
unpleasant sensations' of nausea which are attendant upon the pe-
culiar agitation of a rolling and pitched vessel. The invention
appears also to he capable of very extensive use on land, by adapt-
ing it to the seats of chairs, sofas, couches, mattresses, and parti-
cularly as beds for sick persons, the elasticity of every part of the
cushion aftbrding the greatest ease to the persons reclining upon it,
by returning to Itcdistended figure the moment that the partial
pressure is removed, or shifted from place to place, which is not
the ease with feather beds, or any description of mattraeses or
elastic cushions that we have heretofore used. The interior of
these cushions are furnished with springs of a peculiar construction,
covered on the top with abed of horse-hair, and the space neces-,
sarily left unoccupied within may be conveniently adapted to re-
ceive bed-clothes; by which means a bed or mattress upon this
plan may be constructed so that with all its appendages it may be
packed up in the dimensions and form of a travelling portman-
teau. The materials of which these couches are made being be
themselves so simple and cheap, it is probable that they may of
furnished to the public in a complete state atone-third the price
of any ordinary bed and bedstead.—London Journal of Arts
and Menus.
