EMPEROR OF MOROCCO.

We yesterday noticed the meditated declaration of
war against some European Powers by the Emperor of
Moaocco. It appears, however. by the following ea.

THE QUARTERS' REVENUE..

Although the Returns of the Revenue fur the present
Quarter will not be made up until Monday evening, yet
we are enabled in some degree to anticipate the official
statement, and to announce to the Public, the growing

prosperity of the countty, in the increase of the Revenue
notwithstanding the large reduction that has been In

the Taxes, and the amount of Duties remitted.
The account of the Customs for the Quarter ending
the 10th of October, 1824, was 5,240,0001. while the
amount for the Quarter which will end on Monday will
not be less than 5,400,0001. exhibiting an actual
increase in the Customs alone, for one Quarter, of one
hundred and sixty thousans pounds, or at the rate of
more than a million a year. The gross receipts of the
Customs, for the present Quarter, indeed, amount to
5,200,000, but of, these 1,800,0001. consist of trans-
ferred duties from the Excise.
The produce of the Customs for the three Quarters,
ending October 10, 1824, amounted to 7,430,0001. the
produce for the corresponding three Quarters of the
present year, amounts to 7,950,000, exhibiting an actual
increase in the Revenue of the
..Costoms, for three
quarters of a year, dive hundred and:twenty thousand
pounds exclusive of all transferred duties. The gross
receipt of the Customs is about 11,450,0001. but
from this sum is to be deducted articles transferred
from the Excise to the amount of 3,500,0001. The
other branches of the Revenue are, we learn, equally
favourable. On Monday or Tuesday we shall publish
,the offici 11 details; but, in the meantime, we cannot
but congratulate the public on the flourishing condi-
tion of our finances, and the consequent prosperity of
the country.

Some short time ago we inserted a copy of the Re-
port of a Select Committee of the House of Commons,
on Friendly Societies ; our limits did not admit of our
inserting such extracts from the evidence, as might
have been thought likely to be generally interesting.
In that evidence, however, there is to be found inci-
dentally, some very curious details, resulting from a
scientific investigation into the duration of human life,
which has for several years been carried on by Mr.
FINLAISON, actuary of the National, Debt,' ender the
orders of Government, and which, if fully vetified, as
we see no reason to doubt, is of the utmost importance
to society at large; inasmuch as it will establish a cor-
rect measure of value for the vast amount of Progsrtx
which is held in this country, in one form or other, by,
the tenure of lives. To elucidate this subject as famat
we are able, without attempting to print any part of
the immense :pain of Calculation appended to Mi.
FINLAISMA evidence, it is necessary to premise, that
the first idea of a table of the duration of life from
actuakobservation, originated with the celebrated Doctor
HALM, from the Bills of Mortality at Breslau, in
Silesia. This was followed up by M. Knasszsoon, in
a work little known in Ibis country, on the Duration of
'Life among the Dutch Government Italillitantl•

' Min succeeded M. de PARCISUX, an
.v4l
calculator, who, in 1745, published a table ded,
from the French Tontines, and from the Re,;,...."1
many Convents in that country, This Was
by tables formed on repeated statistical surveys si
whole population of Sweden, and by some 044
important tables in Germany and Switzerland.
these succeeded tables drawn from certain o •
on the Bills of Mortality in London, by Mr,
and Mr. Suirsox, which were the basis of Lie
surance in this country, until the whole weft
ceded by a table of observations formed by the
brAted Dr. Paw; on the Births and Burials at Nel
ampton, in 1780, which table has ever since S,
adopted by the Equitable, and all the other Lill
surance Offices in BritAin, and has till lately bee. 4
most universally considered to be the only con
measure of value for the duration of human life
Lastly, in 1815, Mr. JOSHUA MILNE, the emit

_
actuary of the Sun Life Insurance Office, published
Table resulting from the hills of mortality at Cadisi
which differed in its conclusions so widely f:cm the n
sults exhibited by Dr.Patcs (the latter awning, kri,
stance, that the mean duration of life arter the age
six, was only forty-one years, whereas fronatbe fora►,

it appeared to be fifty-one, and from M. de ham;
forty-eight years), that it became impossible andtnn
to place confidence in the Northampton Tables,
meantime this question became very importantto
community at large, no less than to Government.
Tables of any authority other than those abort
merated were ever computed, and Life loan
Offices had greatly multiplied; besides which, thee
missioners of the National Debt, by order of an
passed under Mr. P&RCIVAL, in 1808, had begin to
or exchange Life Annuities to any persons choosing
mode of investment, in lieu of stock. These cirn
stances led to the employment of Mr. Fonaison,l
appears from his evidence about six years as on
complete investigation of the law of mortality n
prevailing in England. It was obvious that
Northampton Tables malt be wrong. Daily e
perience proved, by the overflowing and it,
profits of the Insurance Offices, that they had
under-rated human life; and the fact was ar
in a public Report from Mr. AIORGAN, the nephe
Dr. Petra, to be, that they bad, by long expert
found that only two persons died in reality for
three thht were presumed to die by the Northam
Table. In plain truth, the Premiums of all the
have turned out to be excessive to the surprising
of SO per cent.l.--
It appears that neither parochial bills of m
much less statistical tables -were to be depended ou
affording the nectisarr'datit for constructing con
observations ; and Iam•PINLALION states, that he tb
fore resorted exeledvely 'to the' Government Ron

two sexes, which had not before been done, and
ing down his observations to the latest period.
We regret that our limits preclude our f !foci
any length; the remarkably curious conclusion
be has drawn from those authentic materials,
which we presume have established, on an immo
basis, the law of mortality now prevailing among
and females respectively. We can only briefly a
that it appears the duration of life a century a:
England,, was only three-fourths of what k is at
sent, andithat this is true in respect of each sex
also appears that the life of a woman is vastly so
to that of a man at every age above infancy, and
the consequence of this difference is enormous is
niary interests depending upon lives: for if two
sons, a man and woman of the same age, for i
thirty, were the one to purchase an annuity of 11
be enjoyed by the other in widowhood, if the male
chased in behalf of the female, the pension wota
4661. 14.5. 6d. ;whereas, if the female purchased'
half of the male, it would cost only 317/. 15.%
It likewise appears that in France the duration
was, a century ago, greatly beyond that enjoy
England at the same time.
We can only find-room for one other fact, of a
prising nature. It appears that the waste of in!
among the poor of the metropolis is most fright
Out of every thousand children born, only 54

is, icarcely more than a half survive nursing.

liament of the Sib July, 1820. even U they should not arrive at
those colonies before the In of January, 1826, provided that they
had not kit the ports of the.Netheriands in the autumn of 1825.
There is o ‘e circumstance in the P.oclamation for
enforcing the provisions of the 'silting "Foreign Enlistment Dill
which operates moat powerfully In favour of the Greeks. and more
'ban indemnifies them for the inconvenience of the prohibitory part.
We allude to the last paragraph. His Moaner there " enjoins his sub.
jects strictly to observe. as well towards the Ottoman Porte rodlike
Ceeerks, as ail other belligerent:ol4a whom lik•Masavre is at peace,
the duties pleutrality, and to respect, in all and mob of them, the
exercise or those itellgentne rigiffs which his Manors' has always
:Limed to exercise when his- asst has himself been unhappily
engaged in war." Here wend a distinct acknowledgment by Great
Britain that the Cooks are entitled to exercise the very same bellige-
-cm rights which we ourselves exercise when we are engaged in war.
And when is this acknowledgment made? It is at a time whenAus-
tia denies those rights to the Greeks alffigether, and France limits
the exercise of them by the maxim of " free ships free goods."—
Sub a recognition from such a Power asGreat Britain is worth an
2-my to the Greeks. •At least, it b new-Sanded neutrality.
Saturday, as Mrs. NICHOLLS, wife of Mr. NICHOLLS,
euairr, of Linton, was returning in a post-chaise from Saffron
11'..1.10n, the chaise was met by a waggon, the driver of which was
;s'nep. The waggon came in contact with the chaise. by which
Nrr. Nunotis was thrown ant, and dreadfully crushed by the
ti: 1 whet]. After conveying her a short distance, she expired.
A Coroner's inquest was held en view of the body, and a verdict
et kcidastal Doak recorded.
The Leeds intelligencer, in reference to the late murder
Sear Leeds, says—" Mr. Cass, (the victim) was a small farmer,
living upon his own estate, and he bore an excellent character as an
honest and peaceable man. It is a matter of doubt whether the wife
Interfered in behalf of her husband, and was butchered on the chair
beside him,as she was found; or whether the cold-blooded miscreants
bad placed them both in that situation after the barbarous work
Ins perpetrated. A report reached Leeds late last night, that a
man has been apprehended in the act of disposing of Mrs. Cass's
wetacles. It is said that he has made a confession of the crime,
and has given such information of his three accomplices,as is likely
to lead to their discovery."
A few nights ago the warehouse of Messrs. Price and
Gifford, No. 7, Suffolk-lane, Upper Thames-street, was
broken into, and the robbers carried off 2001bs. weight
of segars, a quantity of Paddy-bird feathers and tip-
pets, and about 491bs. of fine leaf isinglass.
Last Tuesday afternoon, a Gentlewoman coming
down Chancery-lane, had her right eye forced into her
h:ad, by the carelessness of a butcher's apprentice.
Tuesday evening, the house of a Gentleman in Queen
Ann-street, was robbed by the following artifice :—A
workman employed in the entrance-hall was requested
by a respectably-dressed man to be allowed to go
down into the area for a tortoiseshell comb he had
accidentally let fall there. The workman unguardedly
vent with the fellow, leaving the street door unfast-
ened. No comb was to be found, but an accomplice
found time to carry off a valuable table-clock.--The
thieves both escaped.
CHILD- STEA LI No.—Thursday last, between the
hours of two and three o'clock in the afternoon, the
family of Thomas Weller,_ a coach-smith, residing in
Frederick Place, near the Dog and Stile public-house,
Borough Road, were reduced to a state of great dis-
tress by the loss of a child, a male infant, nLt above
five months old. It appears that a servant girl had
taken the child for an airing, when, by some means or
other, it was stolen from her by a young woman, who
is described as of short stature, and fair complexion,
and was dressed at the time in a light shawl, a light-
coloured flowered gown, and an old black straw tioni.et.
The crime of child- stealing has of late beets very pre-
valent, by females, who carry them away, for the
There Purpose of stripping them of their wearing apparel.

aLady, after summing up all her good qualities, added,
" that she always reached her husband his hat, when
be called for it, without muttering."
It would. be diffscult to determine (says a modern
*titer in her correspondence) whether the age is grow-
ing better or worse; for I think our plays are growing
like sermons, and our sermons like plays.

OXFORD, FRIDAY, ocrosint 7.
My communication of yesterday from ,
concluded with an anticipation of farther attacks on the
house of Mr. HUNT, in the High•street, but I am happy
to state, that the riot concluded with the breaking of a
few windows.

The friendship between Mr. CANNING and Mr. Mu-
LOCK, which I alluded to, commenced when the former,
Gentleman was a candidate for the Representation of
Liverpool; and I am informed that Mr. Nov= often
advocated the Right Honourable Secretary, on elec-
tioneering matters. They afterwards met on the Con-
tinent, and travelled together ; and since that time a
correpondenee has been occasionally kept up, but in no
wise connected with religious subjects. Mr. Mirtocx
commenced preaching in Oxford about twelve months
since, in a public auction room. He had a previous
acquaintance with Mr. HUNT, a chemilt and druggist,
who invited him to Oxford, and soon gained him ano..
ther disciple, in the person of a young Gentleman of
considerable academic acquirements, whose knowledge
of the Litere Humaniores, might have placed him in a
class, and who was particularly distinguished for his
steady and moral conduct at Lincoln College, of which
society he was a member. Just on the point of taking
a degree (having finished his reading for that purpose),
having concluded an expensive collegiate education, his
father anticipated the advantage and the honour that
awaited his son ; but, alas! all his hopes were at once
crushed; the young man heard Mr. MULoCK and Mr.
HUNT, became a convert to their dat k doctrines, stiuck
his name from the College books, and 6sed himself as
a dependant on his father—for such he must remain,
unless he becomes an itin rAnt preacher. Sion after,
another young man, terrified by the horrid threats held
out in the discourses of the mai ditnnt sole teacher of the
Gospel, became his follower. He is the soa of Mr. An-
Nor?, one of the Clarendon readers, a man highly fitted

for the situation he holds, and eminent for his integrity
and good conduct. His feelings, when he heard
that his son had determiced on following Mr. Mu-
t: cc, insy be imagined—they cannot be described.
The three persons abovemendoned are the leading
members of Mr. MuLocK's communion. Since his re-
turn to Ozford, where be has lately preached, iti.st
small room in Queen•street, he has gained few converts,
except among the lowest and most ignorant classes,
but we find that his preaching has produced much evil.
An honest and industrious workman, in possession of
some little property, who bad lived happily with his
wife and family for fifteen years, has been induced to
desert them, from a conviction that he should not hold
communication with the flesh, with the reprobate, with
those doomed•to eternal perdition—(his wife would not
become a follower of Mr. MuLocK). In a late Oxford
Piper we saw the advertisement of this deluded fa-
natic, which prcciaimed his cruel desertion, and warrned
all persons against trusting his unhappy, wretched wife.
The complaint of the poor woman was heard before 'a '1
Magistrate, in the Town Hall ; but she could obtain no
redress, as it was proved that he had appropriated the
receipts of rent for some sm4l tenements, for het use
and that of his family ; and therefore, that she was mot
thrown on the parish.
The unhappy consequences arising from the Nloctrines held faith
by Mr. blosocu were conspicuous ; they were visible to persons of
every description. The separating of wives from husbands, and chil-
dren from parents, which evidently proceeded from the preaching of
the leader, and from the terrific persuasions of his principal fol-
lowers, at length aroused public indignation, which burst forth in
the manner we yesterday described.

FURTHER PARTICULARS, IRON THE OXFORD HERALD.
Thursday evening last, a scene of extraordinary riot
and confusion took place in St. Thomas's parish ; a re-
port having been circulated for some days past that Mr.
Mulock, who has been preaching in Oxford and its vi-
cinity at different periods for the last twelve months, or
more, had, with the assistance of some of his followers,
induced several men, whom they had converted to their
doctrine, to leave thir wives, becsuse they would nut
conform to the new creed which their husbands bad
adopted. A vast concourse of people, consisting of men,
women, and children, collected in front of a house in
which the new sect was assembled, and commenced
hostilities by making a bonfire of wet straw, in order to
smoke thew oat, as they termed it; they then assailed
the house with ti,e most discordant sounds of tin kettles,
horns, &c. and, after some time, succeeded in dislodging
them; when, in their retreat, they were attacked with
every species of missile, and several times rolled in the
dirt. Two of the party, followed by the people, took
shelter in the Town Hall-yard, in a most deplorable
condition, their coats being nearly torn off their
backs, and their persons completely covered with mud'
and filth of every description. On their leaving the.
Town Hall-yard, tl,ey were again pursued by the mob,
and hooted and pelted with mud and other missiles until
they effected their escape. We think it necessary, by
way of conclusion to this paragraph, to give, for the
perusal of our Readers, a clause hum BlackstoNs's C'on-
tueata►ies, book iv. chap. 4.—" Of Offences against
GOD and Religion"—
“ A seventh species of offenders in this clan are all refigionsins-
pesters f such as falsely pretend an extraordinary commission from
Hamm., or terrify and abuse the people with false denunciations
of judgments. These, as tending to subvert all religion by bringing
it into ridicule and contempt, aro punishable by the temporal
Courts with fine,imprisonment, and infamous corporal punishment."

In the Jamaica C'earaat of the 18th of August is an
advertisement, offering a pistole reward for the appre-
hension of a runaway negro, who is thus described:
" Solomon Need, about five feet five inches high, clumsy
