Lunt —Last evening the fourth annual meeting of the
above Society was held at the office, No. 32, Sackville-
street, Sir W. Farquhar in the chair, at whose request
the Secretary read the last yearly Report. By it the
friends of the Society were informed that the pecuniary
embarrassments and other difficulties mentioned at the
last meeting had been got over in a great measure, and
the consequence was that the number of repentant in-
mates had augmented, of whom there were now twenty-
two in the Asylum. From eightto ten had been tho-
roughly reclaimed, and had returned to their homes, or
had gone to situations provided for them. The general
cu:: duct of all the inmates was good, and by their indus-

SPAIN AND HER CREDITORS.
MADRID, JAN. 15.—The printed copies of the Mi-
nister of Finance's Report to the Cortes were this day
handed to the Senators, from which I transcribe the fol-
lowing details, that cannot but prove interesting to the
British creditors of Spain.
His Excellency gives' a most melancholy description
of the state of penury in which he found the public trea-
sury, with mortgages without end on every branch of
the public revenue, thanks to MM. Gamboa and Ferrer's
doings.
He states that he has paid the two instalments due to
e British Legion, within the year 1841, and that he
has te,el others, makhey,, with some extra items, 125,0001.
sterling, to pq next jime and December. There are
other Claims, pending adjuistment, eonnected with the
Legion or the hire of stearo-boats, for upwards of
115,0001. sterling, though some el them are greatly ex-
aggerated, that must likewise be paill wl.thin this year.

That the total amount of revenue received during the
last sever! Menthe of his administration was 538,283,015
reels (97 rode are equal -to 1/. sterling), including
59,177,400 reale front extra sources, whilst the outlay
was 517,412,146 reels, leaving a balance in hand, on the
31st of Mee:ether, of 870,869 reels.
Of the 60 millions advance to be derived by means of
the salt and stamps revenues contract, 24, al 3,000 reds
been availed of, previous to October 1 ; and there
ought ti' heath:dance to 0185,187,000 reals, but for./
the October rebellion, which occasioned an extraordinary
outlay of 48,532,352 reels for the army, and of 300,000
for the navy ; and his Excellency requires that the said
sad he again made up by means of the extra supplies he
applies It is perfectly evident that great waste, if
not robbery, ie temntenanced at the War-office, which re-
quires being very closely sifted into ; hecause, although
the Alinister of Finance! Hes issued out Ott amounts due
for eleven of the twelve months of last yeer, it seems
that several corps in the army arc still without ta,'ir winter
clothing—the blame rests elsewhere.
Half a million of reels irereyaid towards making nee
roads, independent- of the private companies that have
lately started for constructing others.
Ile estimates the revenue for 1842 at 879,193,475

Porto Rico, and the Phillipine Islands, he cannot reckon
Upon a farthing being forthcoming from the colonies,
whereas the charge for the year is 1,541,618,880 reels
Bms, leaving e deficit of 662,426,464 reels 1 lms., which,
however,includetithe dividends on the Five per Cent. funded
debt, amounting to 264,416,111 rls. 20 me.,equal to about
1,750,000/. sterling; but taking the non-payment of the
dividend into account, as well as various reductions that
insist be made this year, including 55 millions in the War
Department, and 5,320,000 reals for value of tobacco
coming from the .Phillipine Islands, on account of the
revenue therefrom derived, the Minister calculates that
70 millions of additional taxation, for one year only,
which fie demands, together with the 180 millions of
Exchequer Bills he proposes issuing, besides another 70
millions of taxes to pay off these bills, will enable him to.
make both ends meet.
His Excellency next goes on to show that the amount
of, pending drafts on the three above named colonies, on
21st of April last, was 261,772,100 reels, and that there
were since drawn about 20,267,437 reels, making together
282,039,537 reels, of which it is already known that
58,651,846 reels have been paid, leaving an outstanding
aniouut of 223,387,691 reels, but we suppose that it will
have been reduced, by the 31st instant, to. about 193
Millions—it follows that, even counting on the rapid
manner in which the Porto Rico revenues are increasing,
as well aS On the promising aspect of the other islands,
they cannot Broome available to the mother country un-
til einlyt 1843, when it is expected that these sums will
have been paid off, provided, howbver, that no further
drafts be passed until then.
The Minister states, that with about 34,000,000 that he
had to pay, he has redeemed 36,280,000 reels of titulos,
payable to bearer; 6,000,000 reels of Treasury bills ;
81,340 reins of Havannali bills—say together 42,321,340
reels.

reigil, which operation, only carried into effect the las
days of December, has produced the debt which appears in
the respective statements. An obligation entered into
for two given days in each year, solemnly assented to
by both natives and foreigners, cannot be abandoned
to chance, and once that the Spanish honour stands
pledged in obtaining credit for the New Three per
Cent. Stock, it would be idle to impress on the zeal of
the Cortes how much it becomes absolutely expedient
to cover and secure, with proper guaiantees or mort-
gages, the punctual payment of its dividends, which
may possibly become the groundwork of public prospe-
e2t)).; and, in a great measure, contribute to the relief of
our plOsures, by tempting foreigners as well as natives
to become holders of a stock that must hold out a vast
field to speculation, and future security to all Stock Ex-
change transactions, The Government, whilst dictating
the measures already mentioned for attending to the
payment of the capitalisation, has not lost sight of some
grave inciAlents, which, being ultimately blended with the
course of the public bonds of the Active Debt abroad,
influence their relative value in a direct manner. One
of them was the pending account with the house of
Ardoin and Ricardo, of London and Paris,
towards the liquidation of which they hold as mortgage .
the considerable sum of 500 millions of reals, about
60i000 sterling, in effects, or bonds, of the Active.
bistrive; and Deferred. Debt of Spain, `vhf that house
only ettn tont into circulation, because its signature was
the only one exclusively authorised to issue them to the
public, being a Manant- of those placed within its con-
trol when the conversion was made in 1834. TheGo-
.vernment, in virtue of the account sales it hasreceived,
knows that they have issued and sold bonds which have
realised 0,2991. 10s. sterling money, so that theigi
&fiance claimed by them has been reduced to 26,812/. 15i.6d. .
TIN Minister gem on to explain the causes why the
Provisional Regency, though it attempted it, could not
cancel and with&tow those bonds out of Messrs. Ardoin and
Ricardo's hands. Once that the overdue dividend warrants
were being capitalised, public faith required that measures
of protection should be forthwith adopted, in order not to
a,el4nowletige amounts, the origin of which might be
vicious, towards which desirable end I have been arrang-
ing that the hulanee claimed by that house shall forth-
with be tendered them, on condition that it will hand
hack to the Spanish Government the mortgage it holds,
duly cancelled in the most solemn manner, without pre-
judice of proceeding to the liquidation of accounts, both
parties agreeing to stand by the result of the said liqui-
dation. It is not to be expected that those houses will
decline to agree to so honourable and equitable a pro-
posal, but if it should prove otherwise, then the Go-
vernment would resort to other means, such as the cir-
cumstances of the moment might recomlnend. By such
means we save the inconvenience of the snaret being
constantly threatened with the improper i;ss,su of those
values, and public confidence will increase in pl-oportio
as these just causes for inspiring fears and dread s:e re-
niCted, The arrangement regarding the Treasury
handed, in 1836, to sundry _British creditors in pay- ,
ment of their dividends, under the authority of a special
law, the amount of which has been energetically claimed.
These are pending various accounts with other houses,
the liquidation of which the Government feels it becomes
necessary to give a persevering impulse to, and no means
are left untried that can conduce to an object deserving
such preference, with a view to clear up affairs which
are still very dark, withdrawing the mortgages or guaran-
tees still existing, with more or less reason, in the hands
of the parties in question, or deposited in public esta-
blishments." His. Excellency, in this latter part, no
doubt, alludes to pending accounts with some respecta-
ble houses in London, as well as in, the former to the
one with Aguado, of Paris, who owes about half a
million sterling ; but why does not M. Surra y Hull
send a special commission to Paris, in order to bring
that individual to book, taking care that none of its
members are connected with —, of Paris, or
with ---, formerly of London, now in Madrid ?
"I now ask every impartial person, is there a chance
that Spain can pay the five per cent. dividend on her
fifflid: debt, in January, 1843? If any individual should
reply in the affirmative, I shall fear that he is insane.
Surrayßull, should he continue in power, and should
he be better supported than what he has hitherto been,
may, by means of his perseverance, economy, and re-
forming system, having than the colonial revenues free,
and an increasing trade in Spain, be able to do so some
time i in 1844, not n January. Indeed, I feel confident
that he will do it, but not before. Being here on the
spot, witnering the little sympathy that is felt for
foreign creditor's of the country, I feel that it is a duty
we owe to our countrymen to undeceive them, to caution
theni against the fellows who will aim at making them
believe different things. It is better 'to tell them the
truth, and should there be cause hereafter to think more
cheeringly of anatters, your correspondent will gladly en-
deavour to be the first in conveying the pleasing tidings.

THE FLEET DITCH.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
your Paper of the 20th inst., I find the follow-
ing statement regarding the effluvia arising from the
Fleet-ditch :—" The bed of the stream, from the termi-
nation of this cloaca maxima of the metropolis towards
the river was deepened and covered over at great ex-
pense, for the escape of the water coming from the ill-•
thiest part of London, and in order to render the neigh-
bourhood more salubrious. The attempt, however, has
completely failed. At lo\v water now the effluvium is ab-
solutely insufferable, and if something is not done to'
correct the bad effects caused by the stagnation, the-
place will be unfit for the habitation of human beings."
When I reflect upon the circumstance of the effluvia
only, causing a risk to life, what must be the feelings of
that person, when he knows that all the filth of that, and
a hundred other equally offensive drains, is daily pumped
into the cisterns, and the inhabitants of this great and
splendid metropolis compelled to drink it? Surely an
alteration should be made to give' to the people a better
commodity—for we all know we have to pay dearly for it..
The water of the Thames is daily becoming worse and
worse—in fact, this river is looked upon now, and for
some time past, as the great artery for metropolitan filth.
In the long list of discoveries with which the public, from
time to time, are favoured, I cannot find that any plan
has yet been discovered to work a cure for this dreadful
evil.--I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
