and others for the reduction of the %4tities. at present-_,
loenvitedhe
officials there will be glad to communicate with the trade
the consideration of the arguments the memorialists have
to advance. Messrs. Franks and Co., in their circular
ata descriptionsn
earlyd day fwa-ivl°l6breaabplep:itha;tedtlfo7
speak confidently of a reduction taking place, the Go-
vernment being, according to their representations, de-
sirous of encouraging the article. Hower, doubts seem
to arise in the minds of parties intimately connected with
the trade as to the policy of making any furtZ,er reduc-
tion of the duty payable upon foreign, the reason as
signed being that there is already a sullicient cOnlpei,itiOn
in the market by the 9d. duty, which brings
.in large
quantities of t Mice, the produce of the Dutch colonies,
who are already successfully trenching upon the con-
sumption of our West India production by Such legalized
importation.
It may be remembered that a short time ago a. British
merchant-vessel was wrecked near Havre, and that some
French seamen, in.endeavouring to save the lives of the
crew, not only failed in their generous attempt, but were
all drowned. This matter has been commented on its
the City, and it is thought that some testimony to the
gallant exertions of these brave Frenchmen—perhaps
some allowance to their bereaved families by the British
Government—would not be more than equitable. An
occurrence of about two years ago has been called to
mind in reference to this subject, on which occasion
the King of Holland evinced a most laudable apprecia-
tion of similar services. A Dutch packet-boat was
wrecked one stormy night near Harlingen, and although
the cries of the passengers were heard on shore, none
of the Dutch sailors dared to venture out. Captain D.
Charrosin, who commanded the British merchant
schooner the Northam, volunteered, with his mate and
four men, to reach the wreck in his own ship-boat,
and with great difficulty succeeded in rescuing nine of
the persons on board. The conduct of the Dutch on this
occasion was most liberal ; the King presented the Cap-
tain and mate each with a gold medal, and each of the
crew with a silver one, which, it should be remarked,
they preferred to any pecuniary gratuity, the city of
Ilailingen presented the Captain with a silver-gilt cup,
and the city of Rotterdam with a gold medal. It is
most probable that the case of the French sailors has
.not yet been sufficiently thought of, or surely some tes-
timOnV of their conduct would have been given to
their Tainilies by the Government, or, at any rate, by
the Commit:9e at Lloyd's ; and when it really meets
with the attention it deserves, it is certain that we shall
not be allowed to mnain in disadvantageous contrast
with the Dutch by slighting endeavours to save the lives
of our countrymen.
CHRONICLE.—The rumour upon 'Change was that
the heaviness in the English Funds was occasioned by
an impression that Sir Robert Peel was to propose a
sweeping property tax of three per cent. on fixed capital
and funded property, having been driven to this course
by the agricultural interests in the Cabinet, who have
agreed to support it in place of any change in the Corn-
laws. We have a shrewd guess that this report originated
hi .Mark-lane ; at all events, it is calculated to improve
the price of foreign corn in bond, now at a low figure,
from a dread of the expected alterations. The same
report was current on the Stock Exchange, and gene-
rally throughout the city this afternoon.
Til consequence of the publication of Lord Canning's
recent letters regarding the duration of our treaty with
Brazil, a prty connected with that country addressed
a communication to ttat Brazilian Minister at our Court,
inquiring whether the Government of Brazil, who at
first contested our interpretation of the treaty, had now
acceded thereto. as might be inferred from the letters
which Lord Canning wrote by oratZ of the Earl of
Aberdeen. The Brazilian Minister has gig en the answer
we publish below, from which it will be seen that the two
Governments are not yet come to a satisfactory ;miff-
standing on that subject :
(Copy.)
" Brazilian Legation, Jan. 24, 1842.
" Sir—ln the letter which you did me the honour to
address to me under yesterday's date, you state that, in
consequence of several parties connected with Brazil en-
- tertaining doubts as to the acquiescence of the Imperial
Government in the•opinion of that of Great Britain with
respect to the duration of the treaty of 1827, you would
Wish to be informed, should no obstacles interpose, what
are my views on the subject.
" I hasten to apprise you, in reply to your said let-
ter, thawin opposition to the communications to which
you refer, both my predecessor and myself have always
declared that the Government of his Imperial Majesty
had resolved to abide by the &finite clause of the 28th
article of the treaty between the two countries ; that is
to say, to the clause peremptorily stipulating the term
of fifteen years for its duration, and consequently that,
as the faculty of the prolongation of the treaty, to which
allusion is made in the same article, was thereby ren-
dered of none effect. we have always maintained that
the treaty of 1827 will expire in the current year 1842.
" Having thus answered your inquiry, I have the ho-
nour to remain, Sir, your obedient humble servant,
(Signed) " MARQUES LISBOA."
We thus perceive the importance of attending to the
adage, that there are always two sides to a question.
Lord Aberdeen and his Secretary are not the Marquis of
Lisboa and
,his Imperial 3injesty the Emperor of Brazil;
and, unless our Governmert!, be prepared to sacrifice our
Valuable export trade to time Brazils, amounting to
5,000,0001. sterling per annum, they `'nest admit the sugar
of that country, and other staple articles of Brazilian pro-
duce, on a reduced and liberal scale.
We understand that M. Salamanca, the co-agent of M.
Borajo, the Spanish Commissioner, is not yet arrived, but
daily expected from Paris. We are authorised to ,rate
officially, that the funds are fully provided to pay one
year's interest on the Spanish stock to be capitalised,
and that the plan for calling in the coupons and issuing
certificates of payment in exchange (which we described
before) until the new bonds are prepared, has been
adopted ; but M. Borajo should announce this officially.
Until this be done, the enemies of Spain and her Govern-
ment will be busy in the fabrication of falsehoods, to
their discredit. •
SUN.—There was a reaction this afternoon in the
Funds of A- to i per cent. Consols, which early in the day
brought 894 to 4 for Money, left off at 89 sellers, and for
Account receded from 89} to 891 and -,i-' Exchequer Bills
were worth I 7s. to- 19s. premium; and East India Bonds
nominally 12s. premium. Bank Stock was at 1671 to
Ego ; and India Stock at 2471 to 2481.
Not much was done in Foreign Bonds, and they were
mostly a shade lower. Spanish Actives were affected by
some vague rumours, and declined from 25i to i to 24i.
Portuguese New Five per Cents. were at 33# to 1, and
the Three per Cents. at 20. Mexican Stock gave way
from 291 to 291 and k. Colombian were heavy at 211,
and Brazilian at
(44'1-
to G 5. Belgian Stock was worth
10e1 ; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cent. Bonds were
at 514 to 511. •
In Shares also there was a retrograde movement.
Brighton were I3i, Blackwell 13k, and North Midland
29 discount. Birmingham were 79 to 80, Great Western
20, and South Western 20,-i premium. Provincial Bank of
It'eland Shares wore 15:1 premium.
The negotiation of Bilis of Exchange on the Continent
was effected to-day at the following rates :—Paris 25f.
r2ic. to 75f.; Hamburgh, 13 1011 to 11; Trieste 9 50 to
1; Frankfort, 149 i to 150; and Amsterdam 12 41.

PROCEEDINGS AT WINDSOR.
WixDson, FRIDAY.—This morning an inspection took
place in the Home Park of the Royal Regiment of Horse
Guards (Blue), commanded by Colonel smith, and the
11th, or Prince Albert's Own Hussars, under the corn-
manh of Lieutenant-Colonel the Earl of Cardigan, three
companies of the 72d Ilighla.nders keeping the ground.
The various evolutiOns, from advancing in line, taking
ground, and retirement in alternate squadrons, to their
echelon movements, the recal of skirmishers, the attack,
deploying into line, and re-advancing in parade order,
were executed with an alacrity and exactitude which
astonished the most initiated beholder.
Her Majesty the Queen was on the terrace so early as
a quarter to ten o'clock, accompanied by his Royal High-
ness Prince Albert (who was dressed in the Colonel's
uniform of the 11th Hussars), his Majesty the King of
Prussia, the Duke of Wellington, the suite of his Prus-
sian Majesty. and various other distinguished officers.
Her Majesty wore a rich purple silk velvet cloak deeply
trimmed with fur, and seemed to take great delight in
die spectacle.
Her Majesty the Queen,. with his Royal Highness
Prince Albert,' afterwards presented ' herself at the
southern window of the Queen's boudoir, where, on being
recclgnised by the• assembled populace, both illustrious
personages were loudly cheered. . .
The young triune was also shown, dandled in the
nurse's arms, at an iipper window, eliciting unbounded
applause. The inspection lasted from a quarter to ten
till half-past eleven.
His Majesty the King of Prussia, at a quarter to
Ware, left Windsor for Slough, proceeding thence by
the Great Western Railway to London, for the purpose
of visiting some of the public buildings, and lunching, as
lam givefi to understand, with Sir Robert Peel. His
Majesty returned to Windsor at a few minutes after six.
His Majesty is expected to go to town again to morroW7
returning to the Castle in the afternoon to dinner. i
Ills Majesty will dine with the Duke of Sutherland
on MOnday ) with his Grace the Juke of Wellington on
Tuesday; and with his Royid Highness the Duke of
Cambridge on Wednesday, it being his Majesty's inten-
tion immediately. afterwards to leave this country, via
Dover. His Majesty will attend the two national
theatres on Monday and Tuesday, and the after nieces,
as I learn, have been requested to be performed first, in
order that his Majesty may have the opportunity of wit-
nessing the perfortrianee of two of Shakspeare's plays.
Tini? fnllowing is an exact list of the guests enter-
tained at the cßstle this evening by her Majesty the
Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert :---His
Majesty the King of Frtissia, her Royal Highness the
Duchess of Kent, Princes Ferdinand, Augustus, and
Leopold of Saxe Coburg, the Duke of Buceleuch, Lady
Lyttelton, Lady Fanny Howard, the Min, Miss Paget,

Countess Delaware and Lady Elizabeth West, the Earl
of Jersey, Baron and Baroness Bunsen, the Earl of
Aberdeen, the Earl and Countess of Beddington, the
Earl and Countess of Albemarle Lord Fitzroy Somer-
set, the Earl and Countess of Westmorland, the suite

and Lady Isabella Wemyss, the Earl of Cardigan, the
Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Anson, the Hon. Sarah Mary Ca-
vendish, Colonel Richardson, Lieutenant-Colonel Smith,
Lieutenant-Colonel Rotton.
The ball at the Town-hall, in celebration of the chris-
tening of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, was
most numerously attended ; upwards of 240 were pre-
sent, amongst whom were all the principal families of
the town and its immediate neighbourhood. The Hall
was tastefully decorated, a magnificent gas illumination
in front designating the occasion. Mr. Adams's band
attended and played some favourite waltzes, quadrilles,
&c,, with great spirit during the evening. Amongst the
company present we noticed Mr. Ralph Neville, M.P. ;
Mrs. Admiral Byrne ; Colonels Richardson and Smith ;
Major Trent ; Captains 'l'yrell, Beauchamp, Corbet,
and Lord St. Maur,- of the Royal Horse Guards (Blue) ;_
Captains Lord Balfour, Cole, Logan, and M‘Kenzie, of
the 72d Highlandere ; several officers of the 13th Light
Dragoons, now quartered in the neighbourhood ; the
Mayor; -Ir. Ward and family, Captain Bulkefey and
family, Jr. Kindall and family, Mr. Onslow Seeker and
familV, the Town-clerk, Mr. R. Blunt, Mr, R. Tebbott,
Mr. J. Banister, and the Magistrates of the borough.
The daneinr, was kept up with great spirit until seven
o'clock in the morning.
A genial concert is this evening given at the theatre,
in celebration of the christening of the infant Prince,
and in aid of the fund for building a room for the Mutual
Improvement Society. The house is so completely cram-
med that many applications for box tickets (to the
amount of at least 100) have been refused.
The good people of Windsor seem determined to give
all the eclat they can to this occasion, as it is well known
that no retformance of a musical character has, for years,
succeeded in this place, although under the most favour-
, able auspices, and supported by first-rate talent.

TO THF, EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin---Allow me to remind your readers that Sunday
next is the 30th of January, and on that day, in the pre-
sent temper of the times, at many churches the VUTICO
for the miscalled Martyr will be used. By giving inser-
tion to this fact, you will probably save many of your
readers from being disgusted by the fictions which dis-
grace the pulpit on that occasion.—Your obedient
servant, A LIBERAL CHURCHMAN.

His Majesty the King of Prussia left Windsor Castle
twenty minutes before twelve o'clock yesterday for town,
and travelled by a special train from Slough to Padding-
ton. lais Majesty and Suite were conveyed from that
terminus in three of the Royal carriages and four to the
Zoological Gardens in the Regent's-park, where the
party remained some time inspecting the collec-
tion of various animals. On leaving the gardens,
• his Majesty and suite, including his Excellency the
Chevalier Bunsen, his Majesty's Minister Plenipo-
tentiary on a special mission at this Court, the
Earl of Hardwicke, Lord in Waiting, Captain Meynell,
Groom in Waiting ; le Baron de Humboldt, le Comte
de Stalberg, and M. Muller, proceeded to the private
residence of the Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel, in White-
hall-gardens, where his Majesty arrived shortly before
two o'clock.
The Right Hon. Baronet had previously arrived in
town from a visit to her Majesty at Windsor Castle, and
received his august visitor on alighting from his car-
riage and conducted him into the mansion,
• An elegant dejeune was served in the dining-room, the
King of Prussia taking his seat between Lady Peel and
the Countess of. Jersey.
Lord Eliot and Sir Martin Archer Shee, President of
the Royal Academy, took their departure from the resi-
dence of the Right Hon. Baronet shortly after his Ma-
jesty's arrival. his Excellency the Chevalier Bunsen,
Lord Stanley, Sir George Cockburn, Sir henry
llar-
dinge, Sir Henry Raiford, Sir Robert harry Inglis, and
the Chancellor of the Exchequer left after the dejeune.

Graham, Sir Thomas Fremantle, Right Hon. W. E.
Gladstone, Right Hon. George Dawson, Right Hon.

and Sir Martin Archer Shee, the President of the Royal
Academy, were in attendance, and conducted the Illus-
trious Visitor through the different rooms.
His Majesty spent an hour in viewing the collection
of pictures.
In the evening his Majesty and Suite returned to
Windsor Castle to dinner.

FALLACIES OF THE FACULTY.—AliiieratiVe
titles take with the Public. Dr. Dickson doubtless ktieiv
this when be christened his book. Be that as it may;
the " of the Faculty" would appear to have
been eminently successful. To quote Tait's MagaF
sd
in.
for September, "This work has at last been fairly praie
and abused into fame." The new doctrine that
-all dis-
eases may bo cur' solely by attention to ..temperatury7_
in a. word, with cold ur hot water, and without Any
but
toe toe at BH—is not very flattering to the apothecaries ;
if we may believe the Revue de Vcrsatfles, it is raridly
making its way on the Continent. Witness the follow-
ing passage from that periodical :—" II est unitile
