THE QUARTER'S' REVENUE.-- esterday
was the day on thich the Quarter's Revenue was made up
—but as th.e official account was not closed and made up
till very late last night, it cannot, of course be insertecl,--
But we have obtained some general information re-
vecting it, which, probably, will be found to be
correct. From this information we learn that there
will be a considerable excess of Revenue. Report
states that the excess will not he less than between two and
thre.-y hundred thousand pounds. In e most important
branches of Revenue, such as Customs, Excise, cad
Stamps, there will, it is affirmed, be an increase on each,
of nut less than 100,000/. on the Customs cud Excise, sad'
probably ball. us much on the, Stamps. On Taxes, an is-
crease, of about 10,0001. The Post-office remains neerb'

those who were considered the best judges. Joirrki
DoesoN (an excellent wrestler) was backed to win the
first prize against the field, at seven to six, and in some
eases at two to one. He threw all his opponents until he
grappled with PERCIVAL, who, after a short struggle,
threw him a very clean fall. DonsoN has on former oc-
casions thrown PescivaL repeatedly, and his defeat on
this occasion is attributed to want of caution, induced by
ton great confidence in his own powers. Tatos. FAwcrrz,
the winner of the second prise, give promise of being a

spectators to see hint, a mere strippling, throw meet of

MURDER OF MR. THOMAS HOWER,

AT BURTON-UPON-TRENT.

A most diabolical murder haS been perpetrated at
Burton-on-Trent, in this county ; but we regret to
state that the offenders have not yet been taken.
By an obliging correspondent. at Burton, we have
been favotiredwith the substance of the final pro•
ceedings of the inquest that was held on the body.
About fire o'clock in the morning of the 14th of
March, the body of the deceased was found by a
man and his son, who were going to work, in rather
a lonely lane in the parish of Burton upon-Trent,
called Lichfield-lane, and used as a back way into
the town from the Derby and Hunninglow roads.
The last time the unfortunate man had been
previously seen was about a quarter before eight
on the evening before, when he was riding at
a quick rate, with two covered baskets or
reticules on his arm, in the direction of the
lane, from the entrance to which he was
then about a quarter of a mile distant—a foot road
passes by that end of the lane at which the deceased
must have entered, along which, about five minutes
before eight, a man of the name of Scattergood was
passing. He, on his examination on the inquest,
stated, that when he arrived at the end of the lane,
he heard a scuffle in the lane— that he went a few
paces in the direction of the noise, and then dis-
tinctly heard a person cry, " don't murder me," and
another or others immediately reply, "-- your
eves, but we will." He then became alarmed, and
went directly to his house, about 250 yards distant,
for a stick, intending to ascertain what was the
matter, but his wife thinking it was only a tight, and
fearing he might get into a scrape, refused to let
him go.
The deceased had no watch or money about him
when he entered the lane, and it did not appear that
either his person or basket had been ransacked.
The house of Mr. Banister, a tailor, stands at the
end of the lane, and one of his apprentices deposed
that between half-past nine and ten o'clock, he mid
his fellow-apprentice went to fasten his master's
yard gate, which opens into the lane, when he
heard " a very strange noise," like loud and difficult
breathing, in the lane. After listening for some
time, they concluded it proceeded from a calf, and
remained for ten minutes mocking it ! The noise,
no doubt, proceeded from the dying man.
These are the principal circumstances attending
this horrid affair. Some suspicion of the perpetra-
tion of the murder rested upon two young men,
with whom the deceased bad in the course of the
evening, had a quarrel at a public house, but no evi-
dence was adduced before the jury, to warrant their
proving by their verdict, the dreadful deed upon any
particular person.
A reward of 50/. has, we understand, been
offered by the friends of the deceased, for the dis-
covery of the murderer.—Pottery Gazette.

AN INGENIOUS METHOD OF RECOVERING
A Daar.—A young Hibernian and fortune-hunter waited
on a well-known artist of London, to sit for his portrait,
which being done, was sent home according to desire. '
After waiting two years for his money, and not being able
to obtain any security for the debt, the artist took the fol-
lowing method to recover his demand, which was two hun-
dred guineas. A few days ago he caused an advertisement
to be inserted in a morning paper, supposed to be from a
lady, giving a particular description of his debtor's person
and dress (the artist having recently seenbim in Bond-street,)
and requesting an interview, which the advertiser inti.
mated would turn out greatly t; his advantage. A time
and a place wan fixed, and an answer requested in the, same
paper, which was complied with, and the invitation ac-
cepted on the part of the young Hibernian. Yesterday
=ming, he attended moat punctually, and found a hack
ney-coach waiting on the north corner of Bloomsbury-
square, sbe expected. The gentleman went to the door
o
and wrapped at the window, when a young
ladylthero
ua
e'epoppedaas out her head, and ordered " John" from behind
to open the door. The gentleman eagerly jumped into the
coach, and "John" as eagerly followed him, and ordered
the coachman to take them to a certain sponging house in
the neighbourhood of Chancery-lane. The gentleman find-
ing himself arrested, borrowed 200 guineas of a friend, and
paid the money at once, laughing most heartily at the coo-
triyane,e. The young lady was the artist's daughter, and
the supposed footman an actual bailiff: What is not
little remarkable, is, that the day for which the appoint-
ment happened was to be the Ist of April, and the gen-
tleman's advertisement expressed that notwithstanding the
day the lady might depend on seeing hien.—/rants Ad..

At the early part of this week the millers, dealers, and
others interested in the Corn trade, were all anxiety re-
specting the Bill to be introduced for the future regulation
of the importation of Foreign Grain; the alterations in
which differ so little from what was anticipated, that the
demand Las not been extensive. We had a very slender
attendance of millers or merchants at market to-day; and
scarcely ever a smaller show of English Wheat ; the arri.
vals of Irish have also been limited of late. The Liverpool
brokers were demanding an advance on the latter article:
of full 4d. per bushel ; , however, the business don;: has
been'so trifling that it scarcely, warrants any alteration in
' the currency. Grinding Barley, Oats, Boiling Pease, and
Beans, are as last noted, The demand for halt is
some-
what increased; but there are so many. sellers in the

a great outcry as.to the condition of Flour ; therefore it is'
only the latest arrivals, and such as can be warranted, that
command any salt. Oatmeal remains the same.

NAVAL INTRLLIGENCE.

(From the Derotoport Tclegrerph.)

-The Vigilant ketch, -Lieut. Meredith, sailed yes-
terday to the westward.
The Implacable, 74, was brought down the har-
bour on Monday for inspection., . preparatory it is
supposed to her being commissioned.
The Terror bomb, wrecked near St. Übes, was
got off the rocks on the 18th March.
The lufernal bomb-vessel, Capt. E. W. Gilbert,
arrived at Malta on the 27th of February.
In Hamoaze—Britannia, Pylades, Medina, Mer-
sey, Rinaldo, Revuard, Royalist, Pike, and Leveret.
Island and Main—Bramble and Nightingale.
Sound—Briton.

The Dartmouth, 44, Capt. Richards (acting),
arrived at Marseilles on the. 23d ult., with despatches
from Sir Edward Codrington, and sailed again the
next day to return to Malta. The Ariadne had left
ten days previous with Sir Thomas Fellowes, to join
the Admiral. This ship, as well A the Galatea and
Gannet, were to he sent to England as soon as they
joined the Commander-in-Chief, therefore they may
be shortly expected home. Letters received per
Dartmouth, dated Malta, 27th February, announce
the safe arrival of the Ann and Amelia transport at
that island. The piracy Court has just closed, and
have convicted seven out of nine cases which came
before them. This we believe is the first instance of
condemnation taking place for a very- considerable
length of time.

(From the Hampshire Teleyraph.)

January, a< she was coming out from the anchorage
of the small Island of Carabusa ; the crew had no
time to save touch, as the ship instantly t;ilgett, and
shortly fell into deep water.. The boats of the Isis,
Rattlesnake, Zebra; and Camelion, took them from
the wreck. It is affirmed that the
.negeciation for
the restoration of all the Greeks carried off from the
Morea by Ibrahim Pacha's fleet has been successful)
that in return for which the united fleets are to afford
facilities to the Egyptian troops and Arabs left in
the Morea and at Navarin, in transporting them-
selves back to Alexandria.
We have the satisfaction to state, that the Ann
and Amelia transport, Lieutenant Hopkins, which, it
was stated in accounts from Lisbon, had been lost,
with the whole of her crew and passengers, on the
coast of Portugal, has safely arrived at Malta. We
are sorry, however, to add, that the melancholy fate
which was erroneously attributed to this transport,
very little doubts unhappily cam be entertained, has
befallen the Midas transport, Lieutenant Gill. Both
of these vessels were the property of the same owner,
and the latter had with her a boat marked " Ann
and Amelia."
The Swedish squadron, under the command of
near- dmi ra 1 Nordneiskild, destined to act against
the Algerines, is expected at Spithead in a fortnight;
it consists of one line of battle•ship, three frigates,
and three brigs.
The Heela, Capt. T. Botcler, with her tender, ar-
rived yesterday from Deptford '; she will shortly pro-
ceed to the coast of Africa, to pursue a survey of that
coast from Cape Spartel to the Line.
The Sapphire, 28, Captain H. Dundas, sailed on
Sunday for the South American station; and the
Echo steam vessel, Lieutenant F. Bullock, to the
Eastward.—This morning sailed the Kangaroo, Mr.
De Mayne, Master, to Jarnaka, to complete a survey
of the Florida Keys.
The Wasp, sloop of war, Commander R. Dickin-
son, C. 8., went out of harbour on Tuesday. She
has been fitted and stowed under the direction of
Captain John Hayes, and during a short trial of
three hours, was found to answer better than under
her former equipment. She is ordered to proceed
to the Mediterranean station, and this afternoon took
on board 13,000/. worth of silver coin, for the use
of the garrison at Gibraltar; she will sail to-morrow.
The Harpy, 10, Captain C. Rich, is nearly ready
for sea at Chatham. She is destined for the West

PORTSMOUTH, APRIL s.—The Princess Royal
transport, Lieut. Hewett, waived on Tuesday from
the Leeward Islands, with a company of Royal Ar-
tillery, under the charge. of Lieut. Lys, and with in-
valids and Government stores. She left Bar-
badoes on the sth, Antigua the 16th, and St. Kitts
the.l7th of February. The favourable report of the
sugar crop this season, at Jamaica, brought by the
Arab last week, will apply generally: to the whole of
the Islands, as well with respect to coffee as sugar.
They are described to be more productive than for
many seasons past, and those of Trinidad and Deme-
rara never presented a more abundant appearance.
The islands were healthy. Major-General Main-
waring had quitted St. Lucia, and repaired to Bar-
hadoes, to assume the Government-in-Chief, until
the arrival of Lieut.-General Sir James Lyon. The
Aurora, 46, Captain C. J. Austell, sailed on the 4th
of February, with the Bishop of Barbadous, to To-•
bago, Trinidad, urenada, and St. Vincent. The
Slaney, 20, Captain Campbell, was refitting ; and
the Fairy, 10, Captain J. O'Brien, had proceeded to
La Guayra, where, it was possible, her services
might be required to protect the British property,
which, from the disturbed state of Colombian affairs,
was considered in no small degree of jeopardy. The
Marshal Bennett transport was engaged in trans-
porting - troops to different islands. The Pickle
schooner had recently captured a piratical schooner,
which had done considerable mischief among the
Virgin Isles. The Ist (Rclals) and the 25th Re-
giments had been removed from Barbadocs ; the
former to Trinidad, to replace the 86th Regiment ;
the latter to Demerara, to relieve the 19th Regt.
The Princess Royal, on her passage, encountered a
very heavy gale, of 18 hours' duration ; the waves
were impelled to a fearful height, and whilst lying to
a sea so forcibly struck her, as to carry away her
bulwarks and stuuncheons.—The passengers who
• returned her are—Major Anton, Assistant Ad-
jutant-General ; Lieutenant Turner, R.A. Mrs. Bu-
chanan and family ; and Mrs. Browne, widow of
Capt. Browne, 03d Regiment.
The following is an extract of a letter received
from Corfu, dated Feb. 24th :—" The Philomel ar-
rived here yesterday, from Alexandria, with des-
patches from Colonel Cradock, which refer to the•
special mission upon which that Officer is employed.
The Galatea, 12, Captain Sir Charles Sullivan, af-
ter visiting Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli, with a view
to detach them from further hostile steps against
the Greeks, proceeded to Malta, where she took on
board Sir Frederick Adam and Colonel Cradock, to
convey them to Modon, with a view of obtaining an
interview with Ibrahim Pacha, and to induce him to
evacuate the More; on the ground that, in the
''ent, of a war,- his army would inevitably be de-
' dtroyed. Ibrahim, too wily to act on his own re-
`rponsibility, referred Sir Frederick to his father.
The Galatea, in consequence, crossed the Mediter-
ranean with Col. Cradock, and reached Alexandria on
the 10th Feb. Mohammed Pacha, the Governor of
Egypt, immediately grunted an audience, and re-
ceived Colonel Cradock and the Officers of the Ga-
' latea and Philomel (which latter vessel had been
previou,ly cruising off' the port) with the utmost
attention and courtesy, presenting them profusely
with refreshments of coffee and sherbet, and regret-
ting that he could not speak English. His counte-
nance is described to be of the most benevolent ex-
pression. To the application made to him that his
troops ;should return to Egypt, he , answered that
nothing would give him more pleasure than the.
granting of Colonel Cradock's request, but that,
being a subject only of the Sublime Porte, he could
• act only under its orders ; that he would immedi-
ately despatch a Tartar for instructions (which he
did), but to which he could have no answer under a
months The Galatea, consequently, remained at
Alexandria for the ultimate decision of the Egyptian
Pacha. Pending the negotiation, however, Ibra-
him Pirelli returned to Alexandria, with all the
Turkish and Egyptian ships he could muster, and
crowded with troops, leaving behind him about 8,000
Arabs and Egyptians, pent up in the fortress of Na-
varin, and some other strong holds in the Morea.
He carried with him, also, abont 5,000 Greek slaves,
principally young girls and boys ; the value of whom
may be estimated from the fact, that a very fine
young woman was offered for 80 dollars (about 15/.
sterling), and a boy cf 16 years of age for thirty
. dollars. It is apprehended that a line-of-battle
ship and a frigate, part of Ibrahim's' fleet, had been
lost ; the former of which had 2,000 souls, principally
wounded men, on board ; the frigate had been with-
in sight of Alexandria, but was driven off by a wes-
terly gale of wind. The exertions of Mohammed
Pacha to refit his fleet had been most strenuous,
though he sheaved little disposition to place them
within reach of the power of the Porte, and had de-
clared that he would contrive never again to come
in collision with a British naval force. He has re-
equipped two frigates, seven large corvettes frem 26
.t 0•22 guns, and twenty-two brigs from 22 to 12
guns; lie has also a 60-gun double-banked frigate,
'and a 26-gun corvette ; he was also building several
brigs. Two Algerine frigates were blockaded in
Alexandria, by a 60-gun French frigate. Prior to
the arrival of the Galatea on the shores of the Delta,
Mohammed had despatched au expedition of two
frigates and thirteen smaller men of war, with thirty
transports, ostensibly for the island. of Candia, but
most probably destined for Scio, or for the Morea.
• This expedition had met with bad weather, and one
of the frigates had returned. No mention is made
of troops having been comreyed by it, so that it is
probable it might be only a convoy of supplies to his
,troops in the Morea.
" The Rev. Mr.' and Lady Georgiana Wolf had
arrived at Alexandria, on their Missionary expedi-
tion, and were both in good health.
" Count Capo d'lstria was at sEgine, organising
the Greek Government into some consistent form,
in which object he was assisted by the advice of
General Church. General Fabvier was at Scio,
where a smart skirmish had taken place•between
the Turks and Greeks on the 10th February, in
which the Turks had suffered severely, though they
had not yet been comp-died to give up the citadel!'
Letters from Malta, dated 17th Feb., state, that
Captain G. W. Hamilton; C. 8., with the officers
and crew of H. M. late ship Cambrian, were at that
time performing Quarantine in the Lazaretto there.
A Court Martial would be held to inquire into the
circumstances of her loss, as soon as she should be
released, when the Ariadne and Galatea frigates
Would bring them to England. The only fact
,we
have learnt, connected with the Cambrian's catas-
trophe, is that of her having struck on a rock, off the
West end of Candia, on the evening oftlre 81st of

India station, and will call at Spithead about the
end of the month for orders.

The Badger, of 10 guns, Captain Crowdy, is
ordered to the river Douro, to lie there for the pro-
tection of the British interests at Oporto; the
Britorr art and Cordelia, of the same force, are already
on this service.

under such Laws, would pray to the worst Go-
vernment in Europe to be relieved from ;heir
local tyranny, at the expence of giving up all in-'
sulated power into the jaws of regal authority.
Nothing would tend more to impress the
people, or Parliament, with a due sense of the
iniquity and oppression practised in Parish Legis-
lation, than for a strict " Return" to be made of
the actual payments made to the poor ; distin-
guishing the expence of the aged and infirm poor
from that of others ; and placing the same re-
spectively against the gross sums raised from the
pockets of the people. The result would give
such a shock to public feeling as could not fail
to lead to a remedy in some shape or other.
Mr. Wilmot Horton's Emigration Bill leac
excited considerable notice, on the point mooted
therein of enabling parishes to borrow money for
the purpose of transporting their surplus popu-
lation to other climes and countries. We really
think that it would be wiser to fund Exchequer
Bills, with the view of erecting Lunatic
Asylums for the custody of visionary Legislators.
We had hoped that borrowing laid reached it%
climacteric ; considering that we have borrowed
as a nation collectively, the sum of 800 millions,
which is kept as a standing score requiring 30
millions a year to be paid as interest; while the
whole expences of Government do not amount
to 20 millions. To go on contracting minor
district debts in detail, which should serve as a
sort of satellites to the great planetary debt of
our social system, would perhaps be very con,
sistent with our commercial order among the
nations ; but it would be winding us up ratkee
too rapidly.

in the pride of reasoning, that the public ought
to protect a man against depredation, we are
not convinced by the same argument that a re-
gular guzzling job of a hundred pounds or so,
is to be scored up against John Bull, as a reward
to the lawyers and constables who are the pro-
