We understand that in consequence of the pre-

Commons of the number of gallons of foreign
into the United Kingdom for the past year it appears, that out
of a total ef 6,460,724 gallons on which duty has been paid,
the consumption of Cape wine over French wines has been no
less than 65,632 gallons, the returns being, 441,883 gallons of
Cape, and only 376,251 gallons French. Portugal has sent
into the kingdom during the same period, 2,481,345 gallons,
and Spain 2,542,471 gallons. Madeira stands low upon the
list, it being only set down at 121,638 gallons, which is only a
third in relation to the French wines, and scarcely a fourth part
of the Cape. Of Rhenish, 58,103 gallons have been admitted.
THE LICHFIELD HOUSE SALE.—The sale of the
valuable furniture contained in this mansion concluded on Wed-
nesday. The house has been thronged with visitors during the
week, attracted to view the superb services of plate which form
the subject of to-day's auction. The principal service is
silver-gilt, of the most massive construction, and possesses
great interest from having been presented by the Govern-
ment of the day to the celebrated Lord Anson, and manu-
factured from silver captured by his Lordship in 1740, when
in command of the English fleet on the coast of America,
shortly after the outbreak of the Spanish war. The present
Earl of Lichfield, who has been residing at Naples for sonic
time past, is lineally descended from the great circumnavigator
and hero above alluded to.

YOREIGN.

In Paris, and indeed throughout the whole of France, nothing
is thought of, er talked about, but the forthcoming elections.
The pacitic accounts brought by the Acadia from the United
States will injure the war party enormously. They counted
upon Jonathan, but he has more sense than to go to war with-
out an object, and with his best customer.

At a numerous and respectable meeting of British residents
i❑ Paris, an Address to her Majesty on the- late atrocious at-
tempt on her life was unanimously agreed to. The Address
was moved by Earl Leven and Melville, and seconded by Lord
Aylmer. Another Address, to Prince Albert, was moved by
Lord Roden, and seconded by Colonel Fox. And, finally, one
to the Duchess of Kent, by the Right Honourable Henry
Ellis, and seconded by Sir William Curtis, Bart.
The representatives of England, France, Russia, Austria,
and Prussia, on the :27th held a conference with Sarim Effendi,
the Minister of Foreign Affairs on the subject, it was supposed,
'of Syria. The French steamer was to have been detained ti:l
the 2:qh, notice to that effect having been given to the public,
but the order was countermanded, and it lett the Ottoman capi.
tal at the usual time.

Sir Stratford Canning having succeeded in procuring the
recal of Asbkar Pasha, Slahmed Pasha, late Governor of An-
gora, has been appointed to succeed the former.
The intelligence from Persia, received in Constantinople,
was stated to be favourabl,.! to British poiicy. The Shah was
observing strict neutra ity, and the report that he had been
sending troops to Ilerat, to encourage the Affghans in
their insurrection against our rule, turns out to he false.
There is little news from Egypt, the advises from Alexandria
being only a day later than those published in our columns, on
Monday week, by the Overland India Mail.
The report gaAted ground in Alexandria, that the English
Government was arranging with Austria to forward the
Overland Mail from Egypt to Trieste, and from thence to the
Rhino, to descend as far as Cologric and thus join the railroad
at Ostend.
