LONDON, SATURDAY: JULY 6, 1844.

THE QUARTER'S REVENUE.

The returns fur the year and quarter ending July
.6,14844, are of the most cheering description. The
deal amount for the year is 50,220,6781.—1a5t
~..!year it was 47,780,342/., showing an increase of
2,440,33f-3/. A considerable portion of this increase
.must he placed to the amount of the property-tax;
/but indepenknt of that department of the revenue, it
:is satisfactory to state that all the others are in a
_prosperous condition. The Customs revenue is
;19,770,158/. showing an increase on the year of
835,349/., and an increase on the quarter
of -312,029/. The Excise produces 11,965,602/.,
exceeding the amount collected last year by
'420,074, and that for the quarter by 85,4791.
:The Stamps produce 6,518,063/., exhibiting an in-
crease on Ice year of 72,693/, and on the quarter of
-46,023/. The Taxes amount to 4,197,5161., the in-
,crease on the year being 6,387/, and on the quarter
Hof 5,043/. The property -tax we pass over, because
ts amount is already known. The net revenue of
Ahe Post-office is 632,0001., showing an increase on
the year of 34,0001., and on the quarter of 10,000/.
Jn the Miscellaneous there is a great decrease, both
in the year and quarter. In the former the decrease
is 1,1.54,401/., and in the latter 641,337/. This is ac-
counted 14 by the large amount of Sycee silver
received last year ; while during the present year, till
-within these few days, no importation of the kind,
from the Celestial Empire has taken place. We are
only surprised that the Government did not make a
rush to place under the head of" Miscellaneous" the

The Earl of HADDINGTON replied by stating tha

the Government had such naval forces on every
station as they thought sufficient. They had gradu-
ally increased the forces on the coast of Africa
Ships had been sent out, and others ordered there,
and nothing would have prevented them from send-
ing them out sooner, but the necessity df having
ships on the Irish coast. Could there be a stronger
proof of the impolicy of the Government in regard to
Ireland than this admission ?

The Bank Charter Bill was read a first time, and
the second reading was ordered for Tuesday.
Lord CAMPBELL moved the third reading of the
Law of Libel Bill, which was opposed by the LORD
CHANCELLOR and Lord DENMAN. A division took
place, when there were for the third reading 3, and
against it 33.
The Earl of HADDINGTON reported from the Com-
mittee on the Sees of St. Asaph and Bangor, that the
Bill of Lord Powis could not be introduced without
the consent of the Crown, and the House adjourned.
In the Commons, on the motion of Mr. THORNELY,
a new writ was ordered for Birmingham, in the room
of Mr. SCHOLEFIELD, deceased.
On the motion of Sir J. GRAHAM, the House went
into Committee on the Poor-law Amendment Bill.
Al lengthened conversation took place en the bastardy
clause. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE suggested that the time,
six months, allowed to unhappy females to name the
putative father of the child, was hardly long enough,
and urged on the Government the propriety of ex-
tending it to twelve months. Sir J. GRAHAM readily
adopted the suggestion, and moved that the word
" twelve " be substituted for " six." The clause as
amended was agreed to. A number of clauses were
passel, and the House resumed.

The other orders of the day were ;hen disposed of
and the House adjourned at a Quarter to One o'clock,

Recent circumstances seem to have inflicted " a
heavy blow and great discouragement" on that ar-
rogant and dictatorial bearing which the Home Se-
cretary has so often exhibited during the present
session, when matters were taking an unpleasant and
embarrassing turn, and Hon. Members on the Oppo •
sition side of the House were speaking their senti-
ments with more freedom than ceremony; and
he appears to have become as moderate and
acquiescent in his tone as he was once. notoriously
the reverse. Last night, in particular, during the
debate on the New Poor-law Bill, he displayed a readi-
ness to conciliate the Opponents of that measure—
so far at least as might be practicable without abso-
lutely compromising what little remains to him of
consistency—that it was quite edifying to wit-
ness, forcibly illustrating, as it does, the truth of
SHAKSPEARE'S remark, " sweet are the uses of ad-
versity." On Mr. DUNCOMDE'S suggesting, with re-
ference to the Bastardy clause, that the time allowed to
unhappy females to name the father of their child,
namely six months, was hardly long enough, and
urging on Government the propriety of extending the
period to twelve calendar months, the Home Secre
tary at once assented to the alteration, ad•ling, with
unwonted courtesy, that he thought that the Hon.
Member for Finsbury was perfectly right in his view
of the case. Again, nothing could be more conciliatory
or deferential than his manner of defending the power
given to the Commissioners of apprenticing illegitimate
children, which Mr. WYNN ELLIS and several other
Members obj3cted to, remarking that such a power
could be much more properly exercised by the poor-
law guardians in their several districts. " lie might
be wrong," said the Right Hon. Secretary, " in having
proposed the clause"—this is no slight admission for
Sir JAMES GRAHAM, who last session would pro-
bably have told the dissentients that they were a set
of JACK CADE legislators—" but no one, he was
happy to find,.impugned his motive in doing so. He
was afraid that in those local Boards of Guardians
local interests might be consulted at the expense of
the persons about to be bound out. It could not
be denied that, in such boards, there might
'be a natural, though selfish desire, io economise,
even at the expense of the poor I:ttle helpless
children whom they .might be willing to bind
into a distant and perhaps incommodious situation, in
order to rid themselves and their district of the
probable expense of providing for them in future.
What he wished to impose was, not any unnecessary
or unfair restriction on the hoard of guardians, but

only to give to the Commissioners a power over the ap-

pointments of the board, which would tend towards
the benefit of the poor apprentices." We are no
advocates for increasing the already enormous
powers of the Poor-law Commissioners, but

on this particular occasion—which is an ex-
ception to the general rule—we think that
the authority which it is proposed to invest in them
is perfectly justifiable, and that Sir JAMES GRAHAM
exercised a sound discretion in standing by the
clause. In far too'm any places, the present condition
of parochial apprentices is one of stein, unqualified
slavery ; it is work—work—work—and nothing but
work—with them from morning till night ; hardly
the slightest interval of relaxation is allowed them ;
they are ill-fed, ill-clothed, ill-lodged, ill-treated,

their masters having, apparently, no other object than
to make as much .money by their incessant labour
'as possible. The description of the sufferings of
chese squalid, helpless little creatures—dread-
ful as it confessedly is—has, we fear, been
little, if at all exaggerated, in Mr. DICKENS'
admirable tale of " Oliver Twist." Under
these circumstances, we agree with Sir JAMES
GRAHAM that the Commissioners—or if not the Com-
missioners, some other unbiassed, uninterested, dis-
passionate party—should be allowed to exercise a
restrictive' influence, as regards the binding of
parochial apprentices; for, as Mr. WAKLEY con-
siderately urged, they are " the orphans of the
State," and, as such, are every way entitled to its
protec t

waggon-h ads of silver brought to the Mint the other cash, and 28 at 60 days. There was no quotation for
day, to swell out the amount; but possibly they keep the Five per Cents.
it as a body of reserve in case of future accidents.
Without adverting to that further, however, there is
sufficient cause for rejoicing. All the great branches
of industry seem to be in a prosperous state. There
is an increase in almost every department of the re-
venue, both for the year and quarter, and we are
hap' fytko state that in two departments, reckoned the
best tests of the prosperity and trade of the country,
the Customs and the Excise, the increase is most
conspicuous. Taking them together, the increase on
the year is 1,255,4221., and on the quarter,
397,5081. These show the vast resources of the
country, and are an honourable tribute to the indus-
try, skill, and enterprising spirit of the people. We
learn, by accounts from the manufacturing districts
that trade is still exhibiting symptoms of im-
provement. In Birmingham all hands are fully
employed, and this remark will apply to most
other places. Could not Sir ROBERT PEEL, then,
try to give these industrious and hard-working peo-
ple a little more encouragement, by reducing the
taxes that press more heavily upon their necessaries
of life, and place them on a footing with their rivals
on the Continent ? Ile has reduced the duties on
sugar to a certain extent, but he might carry the
reduction much further, and that, too, without any
danger to the revenue. If he were also to reduce the
duty on tobacco, coffee, tea, and corn, which would
include nearly all the foreign articles they require for
domestic use, the revenue and the comforts of the
people would be increased together. He would thus
put down those daring robbers of the community, the
smugglers, and bring.into the Exchequer all the legi-
timate duties intended by the Legislature to be ex-
acted from the public. Even admitting there might
be a risk, of which we have no fear, does not the
prosperous state of the revenue warrant him in making
the experiment ?

The Earl of MINT°, after adverting to the re-
duced state of the British navy when questions of
great importance, such as those of Texas, the Oregon
territory, and the war in Morocco, were in an un-
settled state, asked the Earl of HADDINGTON if it
was the intention of the Government to send to the
coast of Africa, or elsewhere, such naval force as
might be necessary to protect British interests ?

The !rfoniteur publishes the following intelligence
from Morocco :

TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH :
" OUCHDA, MOROCCO, JUNE 19.
" On the 16th I informed the Moroczo chief that
I was about to march on Ouchda, but that I still
offered him the conditions proposed by me before the
battle of the 15th ; he replied pacifically, but with-
out coming to any conclusion. On the 19th I entered
Ouchda without firing a shot.
" The Morocco troops had retired two days be-
fore in the greatest disorder. Discord reigns amongst
the chiefs and indiscipline amongst the soldiers.
" This small army appears to be dissolved. Ouchda
will be respected. I shall leave it on the 21st, taking
with me about 1,500 persons of the population of
Tlemcen and the remnant of the Deyza, who were
retained by force, and are desirous of following us.
(Signed)
" BUGEAUD, Marshal of France."
" Ouchda," says the Journal des Debats, " is a
little town inclosed by the Walls of its gardens, and
protected by a large fortress. Its population is esti-
mated at a thousand inhabitants of the Moorish and
Arab race. It has a mosque and three chapels, dedi-
cated to ancient santons. The houses, built of clay,
are low and of wretched appearance, the streets wind-
ing and covered with flints. The fortress, where the
Kaid of the district resides, is guarded in ordinary
times by a dozen of soldiers ; but were there even
more it could not be defended, in consequence of its
wretched condition. A spring of excellent water, at
a little distance from Ouchda, keeps up the whole
year round verdure and freshness in, the gardens,
through which it is distributed by the system of irri-
gation that the Arabs practise so well. The distance
between Tlemcen and Ouchda is sixteen leagues, or
about sixteen hours march for the troops. The inter-
mediate camp of Lalla-Magrania, in front of Bridgi,
is nine leagues from Tlemcen. Ouchda and the camp are
each nearly three leagues from the frontier, and con-
sequently six lepgues from each other. A great mis-
take would be made, if the country where the troops
now are was to be judged of by the gardens of
Ouchda. This spot can only be looked on as an
oasis in the desert of Angad. This desert com-
mences beyond the River Maloilia, at more than forty
leagues from Tlemcen. Like the Algerine Angad,
which extends to the south of Tlemcen, it is of fright-
ful aridity, particularly in summer, though' here
and there may be seen spots where irrigation is prac-

tised, and where tillage is carried on. All the
rivulets are in that season dried up, and one may
march for six or eight hours without finding water.
It is impossible at this season to carry on military
operations in such a country, and therefore we are
not astonished to find, by Marshal BUGEAUD'S dispatch,
that he is about to evacuate Ouchda, and return to

the Tlemcen territory. Whilst Marshal BUGEAUD
was marching on Ouchda, General LAMOEICIERE
was proceeding back in the direction of Mascara, to
defend, if necessary, against the presumed incursions
of ABD-EL-KADER, the countries to the south and
south-nest, which are, besides, guarded by the
columns posted at Sebdou, Saida, and Tiaret, in the
limit of the little desert. All the tribes of Oran re-
main peaceable. Letters confirm what we have al-
ready announced relative to the occupation of a point
on the coast, , near Nedroma. Two steamers, each
towing a merchant vessel, left Oran on the 23d for
Djema-Gazouma, transporting a battalion, with pro-
visions, ammunition, and all the materiel required for
an entrenched camp. This place is situated at the
mouth of the Telez rivulet, which flows from the
Nedroma. Opposite is the little isle of Los Cara-
coles,' a Spanish name, which means Isle of Snails.
Nut far from this are the Zapharine isles, belonging
to Spain, opposite the mouth of the Malouia. The
post of Gazouma, on the maritime frontier of Morocco,
will serve to neutralise all the incursions which the
enemy might attempt between Tlemcen and the sea,
in the district of the lower Tafna."

Another telegraphic dispatch announces that the
Prince DE JQINVILLE arrived at Oran after a passage
of five days. The Funds were slightly depressed on
Thursday in consequence of rumours that there
would be a break up, or at all events a partial modifi-

cation of the Ministry, and that several of the mem-
bers of the Cabinet were dissatisfied with the artic4
in the Moniteur, which had been inserted without,
their knowledge. That article still furnishes sub:;ect
for angry comment. Both the Globe and the Journal
des _Debuts deny the correctness of the statements put
forth in the Opposition papers, according to which
the amount of indemnity received by Louis PHILIPPE
when Duke of ORLEANS, was above 16,000,000 f.;
the total amount, as they state, not being more than
5,000,000 f.

In the Chamber of Deputies a dismission took
place on the recruitment of the army, when Marshal
SO LT .untended for the eight years' service, on the
ground that a levy of 80,000 men a year fur seven
years' serviee would only furnish an army of 450,000
men. The Marshal, however, was defeated, and the
term of service was reduced to seven years. The de-
bate on the Budget then commenced, and it is ex-

petted to last for several days. The amcdheof sup
plementary credits demanded is 8,000,0001. It ap.
pears from the Navy Estimates that during the las
twenty years they have increased from 60,000,0001
to 116,000,000 f. per annum.

THE LATE MR. J. SCHOLEFIELD.-It has been else-
where our painful duty to record the decease of
' Joshua Scholefield, Esq., one of the Members for
Birmingham. The character of this gentleman will
' be best recorded in the hearts of those in private life,
who well knew his worth, and the warmth of heart
and zeal he manifested in works of a benevolent cha-
racter. It is to be feared that the life of Mr. Schole-
field was brought to an earlier close than might have
been expected, in consequence of the intense mental
anxiety he felt as to the results likely to ensue from
the passing of a Bill which was read a third time on
Thursday night last in the House of Commons, within
about six hours of the lamented gentleman's decease.
It is well known to those who have watched the Par-
liamentary career of the late Mr. Scholefield, that from
its commencement to its close, the exertions of the
Hon. Gentleman were identified with opposition to
the fatal errors of the bullionists, on the very im-
portant, and, indeed, as it will be yet proved, all im-
portant question of the currency. This matter pos-
sessed to his active and intelligent mind, an all-ab-
sorbing interest ; and by those who were associated
with him in similar views of our monetary system,
neither the zeal nor the good will, the spirit nor the
energy of his incessant exertions in opposing the Bank
Charter Bill can ever be forgotten, or adequately
acknowledged. As a practical and long-experienced
merchant, he knew the misery inflicted by the mea-
-1 sure he opposed in its bearing upon the producing
classes ; and he could feel, it is evident, for those who
were the subjects of that misery ; he had witnessed
it in the ruined fortunes, and, as he often expressed
himself, "in the broken hearts" it had produced.
If to the catalogue of disastrous incidents asso-
ciated with the mental solicitude occasioned by the
Government measure now introduced into the
House of Lords, we are to add his own accelerated
demise, we must inscribe the name of oile more good
man upon the roll of those whose days, like the late
Lord Liverpool's, have been shortened by the entan-
glements of that maze of difficulties, the monetary
measure of the year eighteen hundred and .nineteen.

THIS DAY'S NEWS.

ARRIVAL OF THE ROYAL MAIL
STEAMER THAMES.
SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY MORNING.
The Thames steamer, Lieutenant Philip Hast, arrived from
the West Indies this morning, at half-past four o'clock.
The dates of departure of the Thames are from Tampic'-,
24th May ; Vera Cruz, June 1 ; Demerara, 4th ; Jamaica,
Bth; Havannah, 9th; Grenada, 10th; Nassau, 13th; St.
Thomas, 14th ; Barbadoes, 18th ; Bermuda, 20th.
Among the passengers is Major Hill, of the Ist West India
Regiment, who is the bearer of important dispatches from the
Governor in Chief of the Leeward Islands.
The Medway left Havannali 9th of June, for Vera Cruz ;
the Severn was to sail from Bermuda for Nassau and Ha-
vannah, 21st ult.
FREIGHT.-1,430,000 dollars 161,850 of which on account
of the' Mexican dividend: 91 serons of indigo; 203 ditto
of cochineal; 9 boxes of vanilla; 20,000 dollars' worth of
pearls ; 883 'ounces of gold dust.
•• The Thames left at Vera Cruz her Majesty's sloop Rose.
Her Majesty's ship Pique sailed from Vera Cruz on the 25th
of May; for Tampico, Havannah, and Bermuda, with specie.
Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Adam was at Halifax. The Illus-
trious, line-of-battle ship, had been sent by the Admiral to
Havannah, it was said to demand an explanation respecting
the imprisonment of several British subjects on account of
the late disturbances in the island, as well as all free co-
loured British subjects having been peremptorily ordered off
the island of Cuba, to the ruin of many of them.
Colonel Thompson, the American Commissioner, who had
arrived in Mexico with, it was said, important dispatches
concerning the annexation of Texas to the United States, was
to have lett Mexico on the 28th of May, and his place was
taken in the diligence for Vera Cruz, but on the morning he
was to leave, an order was sent from the Mexican Govern-
ment that his fare should be returned to him, as no answer
could be given to the dispatches, of which he was the bearer,
until the arrival of Santa Anna in Mexico, who would cer-
tainly arrive on the 3d of June.
A report was current that the United States Government
had offered five millions of dollars to Mexico, as the price of
*s acquiescence in the proposed plan of annexation.
Much excitement prevailed among the English, in con-
sequence of an English-gentleman by the name of Lloyd
having been shot through the arm by one of the sentinels on
duty at the Palace, for no other cause than his walking on
the pavement before the Palace—a walk not prohibited to
the Mexicans. Our Minister, Mr. Bankhead, had with great
promptitude interfered, and the soldier, as well as the officer
on guard, had been placed in arrest.
Serious disturbances took place in Dominica, originating
in opposition, on the part of the black population, to the
census which was ordered to be taken on the 3d of June, and
which they imagined to be a preliminary step to re-esta-
blishing slavery. The negroes collected in considerable num-
bers, assaulting the enumerators and commissioners, and se-
verely beating the magistrates who hastened to give their,
assistance in explaining the meaning of the census. In the
neighbourhOod of the town of Roseau, martial law having
been proclaimed in the.island, the tumults soon ceased, the
people being awed by the presence of an armed force ; but
in the distant parts of the island, where this could not be so
soon done, the mob made use of their power to sack several
houses; ultimately, being opposed by the militia, they dis-
persed. About 100 persons were in gaol, on the departure of
the packet, waiting their trial. The Governor of the Lee-
ward Islands, Sir Charles Fitzroy, had arrived in her Ma-
jesty's ship Inconstant, Capt. Fremantle, and it was supposed
martial law would cease immediately.: About eight of the
insurgents were killed and wounded. Two hundred men of
the Royals were dispatched from Barbadoes, under the com-
mand of Lieut.- Col. Archer, on the intelligence reaching that
island.
lIAYTI.—The ex-President Herard, finding himself de-
serted by his troops, embarked at Port au Prince for Jamaica
on the Ist ofJune, on board her Majesty's ship the Spartan,
Hon. Capt. C. Elliot. The. French Admiral was at Port au
Prince with a frigate and two other vessels of war.—Herald.

His ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT.—This
day, at half-past twelve o'clock, his Royal Highness
Prince Albert, attended by a single equerry, drove
to Messrs. Christy and Manson 's auction-rooms,
King-street, St. Jimes's-square, to view some very
celebrated pictures on sale this afternoon. The ar-
rival of his Royal HighneSs was quite . unexpected.
The Prince entered the rooms almost unobserved, and
seemed to examine several of the paintings with much
attention—the view of Florence, by Canaletti ;
" Susannah and the Elders,". -by Guido ; "The
Woman taken in Adultery," by Titian ; and two pic-
tures by Teniers, seemed most particularly to attract
his Royal Highness's attention. There were several
persons in the room, who remained covered during
the Royal visit, and very properly kept quite away
from the Prince. After remaining about half an hour
his Royal Highness was attended to his carriage by
Mr. Manson.
