Accountant-General; M. MAGRATH, Director-
General of the United Bits; and the Admi-
nistrator of the Customs of Seville. M.
MAGRATH had been replaced by M. THOMAS
RIMENES, Intendant of Cadiz.

The Ministry, it appears, had succeeded in
raising some funds—a circumstance the more
fortunate, as the troops were beginning to murmur.
It is the intention of the Cabinet to present
the Cotton Bill at an early stage of the session.
It will be supported by a certain number of De-
puties, particularly by the Andalusian members,
who are strenuous advocates of free trade; but
it will have to encounter, on the other hand, the
Opposition of the coalition, who are determined
to resist the Ministry on every question, and of
the Deputies from Catalonia and the Balearic
Islands. •

The Three per Cents, were done at 21 5-16
at 60 days, and the Five per Cents. at 27 13-16
13-16 at 60 days, for 13,800,000 reals. The
Four per Cents. sold for 181 at 58 days, with the
11 coupons.

The Paris papers received are still barren
of domestic intelligence, but contain long articles
on the affairs of other countries. The dismissal
of IZZET MEHEmET, and the present and future
state of ,Syria, give rise to long speculations.
" The change of Ministry," says the correspon-
dent of. the Constitutionnel, " will necessarily
bring about a speedy termination of the Syrian
question. SELlM.BET.returned to Constantinople
from Beyrout, on the 2
8t h ult., and immediately
on his arrival the representatives of the five
Powers sent in a note to the Divan, earnestly
directing its attention to the solution of that ques-
tion. A collective conference with the Minister
fur Foreign Affairs is to take place in a few days,
and it is believed that the. Porte will readily ac-
quiese in the demands of Europe respecting the
administration of that province."
" The system of violent re-action," according
to the Presse, "is now at an end. The SULTAN
appears determined to adopt anew a policy of
reform. RAOUF PACHA, whom he has elevated
to the post of Grand Vizier, will have to resume
the work, suspended ever since the downfal of
REDSCHID PACHA. The internal administration
will be milder and more equitable for the rayas,
and the Christians of Syria will now obtain the
protection which they vainly claimed during the
last two years. Such is at least the programme
of the new Ministry."

The Journal des Debats thus defends the Go-
vernment for having established the monopoly
of the gum trade in Senegal. " The Govern-
ment," it says, " acted within the sphere of its
legal authority.. By allowing matters to remain
as they stood in February last, a complete catas-
trophe was inevitable, which would have ul-
timately left two or three wealthy houses
in possession of the trade of Senegal, amidst
the ruins of all the others. If it is found
necessary to obstruct for a while the opera-
tions of a few merchants, it rescued hundreds
of others from utter discomfiture, and saved our
harbours several millions, which, but for that
extreme measure, would have been irretrievably
lost. Finally, the Government was directed ia
its conduct by political considerations. If France
enjoys. any power on the coast of Africa, if her
commerce has assumed there a considerable de-
velopment, if her factories require for their pro-
tection a very small military force, it is because
the country is inhabited by a population of
French citizens, who really represent our means
of action and power. Now, this population, so
useful, is reduced at present to such a situation
that if timely assistance be not afforded it will
be obliged to emigrate, and seek among our
rivals means of existence which it cannot find in

The Prince DE JOINVILLE returned to Paris
from the Chateau d'Eu on Sunday.

writes, the Stadt,)
DUTIESTIIE SaTreADlesC•rnibtd asbythe joo6;irnal as the heredi-
tary property of the King of Hanover. The Stade
duties are neither more nor less than one of those
piratical robberies which the Barons and Princes of
the middle ages committed on the people. Those
plunderers perched themselves on a rock commanding
a road or a stream, and sallying out whenever
they saw carriers or vessels, detained them till
they purchased a permission to proceed, by a per
centage on their goods. Some ancient possessor of
Stade, a town that did command the entrance to the
Elbe, practised this trick; custom converted the
demand into a regular payment, and now an exaction
from all the commerce of the day which enters the
Elbe is called hereditary property. Men must
have strange ideas who call such plunder of
the English merchants the hereditary proms
perty of the King of Hanover. If he had,
in the sanction of the merchants of the middle ages, a
right to this toll, that right ceased the instant the mer-
chants of the day questioned it. From a right their
refusal to be plundered converted it into a wrong.
The King of Hanover does nothing to improve the
navigation of the Elbe, for which service the toll is a
suitable payment; it is a mere relic of feudal rob-
bery, and the Ministers of England will exhibit only
pusilanimity, or—what is worse—a readiness to sacri-
fice the property of the people they are bound to pro-
tect, to gratify an ill-omened Prince, if they do not,
on behalf 'of the English merchants, refuse to allow
King Ernest to levy the fraction of a farthing on
them. In fact, he has no power to enforce the col-
lection of the toll, and for the English Government to
consent to levy it on English shipping, is to make
that Government a tax-collector for the little Hano-
verian despot.
LORD STANLEY IS NOT DEAD, either civilly or po-
litically. The rumour on this subject was not true.
He received two persons, and two persons ac-
tually saw him, and transacted business with him, at
the,Uolonial-office on Tuesday. We have no less au-
thority for our assertion than the Court Circular.
While Sir Robert Peel and the Earl of Aberdeen have
been in Scotland attending on the Queen, while Sir
J. Graham and the Chancellor of the Exchequer have
been enjoying themselves at the Isle of Wight, or vi-
gorously putting down the Turn-outs in the North,
Lord Stanley has been quietly labouring in the re-
cesses of the Colonial-office. How admirably, think
some, will our colonies he governed. Others say
that the Noble Lord has been commissioned by Sir
Robert Peel to open
all dispatches , which reach town
in his absence, and forward to him the important ones,
and this duty the, Noble Lord has performed with his
usual diligence, and in a Most clerk-like manner. As
the Noble LOrd
.has now Proved that he is not dead,
ciently admire the poWerful necromancy of Sir
ILE
Ro-
bert Peel, which
has converted the fiery Tybalt into
at work, the world cannot suffi-
but actively'
a most humble and useful drudge.
T ADELP.HI
NuisANcE.---The following com-
munication confirms the account which we gave last
week of the
.noxious vapours which arise from the
Adelphi arches.
In the remarks we made no blame
was imputed to the police,
danger, but who seem sufficiently
aware of the flwe blamed the parochial
authorities for their supinene.s. A medical gentle-
man had reported--and they must know the fact—
that nothing can possibly be worse than the condition
yet they
of this locality, take no steps to provide a
remedy. It matters not whether the property is pri-
vate or public. If the were to indict the place as a
nuisance, a
to do their duty
Jity would soon compel the proprietors

" F Division" Relative to the paragraph
Sept. 21, 1842.
in T." 16. Evening Sun of
the 15th September, I beg to state that the Adelphi
arches are private property,
occupied for stabling,
cow-houses (there being now sixty cows), waggons,
belonging to the wharfs, &c., &c., and formerly shut in
by gates (of which only some, remnants remain), but
now quite accessible for any person at all times; con-,
sequently a number of vagrants are from time to time
found there by the police, who conceal themselves in
the vaults and sheds, to sleep during the night, and
being very convenient as a deposit fiat- all sorts of filth,
a great deal is taken there, which causes a very offen-
sive smell in the neighbourhood, particularly in the
summer season, but which does not come under the
cognizance of the police.
