EXCISE DUTIES.

An Account has been printed, by order of the House of
Commons, of the quantities of articles on which Duties of
Excise in Great Britain were paid in the years 1790 and
1826.

The first article in the list is the amount of sales of
estates (by auction) charged with duties in the two years.
In 1790, it W.lB 1,561,2051. 4s. 7d. ; in 1826, it was
3,218,2651. 149. Of furniture, in the first year,
1,046,5011. ; •in the last, 2,898,901/. 17s. Bd.
The quantity of strong beer which his paid duty has
increased—from 1,568,594 to 6,802,232 barrels. Table
beer has increased three-fold ; hut, on the other hand,
small beer, at least beer which is small in the eyes of the
Excise, has become extinct. If we compare the table and
small beer of 1790 with the table beer of 1826, there is a
decrease from I 9i to 18i hundred thousand barrels.
Malt has increased from 24,721,784 to 30,062,352
busbels.

Home spiiits, from 4,423,876 to 7,398,549 gallons.
Printed calicoes, from 14,492,459 to 95,336,387 yards.
Soap, from 42 to 96 millions lbs.

The same comparison can only be made for Ireland on
two articles—spirits, which have doubled in quantity, in•
creasing from 3,438,079 to 6,837,408 gallons; and malt,
which has decreased almost to a half, froro 4,697,200 to
2,400,066 Irish bushels.
The amount of sales of estates charged with duties in
Ireland in 1826, was only 73,5101.35. 4d. ; of furniture
186,6731. 16s.

Except the,artiele of spirits, the amount of goods charged
with duties of Excise in Ireland is extremely small.

DOVER, AUG.27.—Arrived from Boulogne,

able Gentleman's arrival.

THE NEW GOVERNOR-GENERAL.—Lord
WILLIAM BENTZ/WIC intends to make his appearance in
India in a style of peculiar splendour. Three or !bur carriages
of state are now building with all possible dispatch, which
will be in unison, and in this respect the arrangement is
judicious, for nothing produces such imposing awe in that
Eastern clime as pageantry and show.

SIR RICHARD SUTTON, BART. The
Papers alluded to this unfortunate young gentleman's long
confinement, from breaking one of his legs last year when
hunting. The fact is, it was broken twice previously, and
from the same cause. Happily be is now in a fair way.
But what we wish to allude to, is the prodigious property
he inherits from being heir to the Bath and Pulteney pro-
perties. Sir. Richard has the richest rent-roll in the king-
dom. Every body was surprised at his granting a lease of
the ground on which Bath House stood, in Piccadilly, to
Mr. Alexander Baring; but the fact is, he always intend-
ed, at the expiration of the Marquis of Cholniondeley's
lease; to take possession of the mansion, formerly known
by the name of Egremont House.
Henrietta Maria, the relict of Charles 1., and•
daughter of the illustrious Henry IV., King of France, wag'
reduced to such a state of poverty, that she and her
daughter, who was afterwards married to the brother of
Louis XIV., lay in bed several days, at Paris, for want of
fire to warm them, in the month of January, 1649.
Dr. Parr used at dinner parties, which he
greatly enjoyed, to inquire carefully the names of those per-
sons present whom he had never previously met; and it
was his custom to be peculiarly attentive to all of them
during the remainder of the day, and constautly addreall
each individual by his name.
