An abstract of the net produce of the R:venue,
laid before the House of Commons, states the total
produce of the Revenue and Customs, for the year
ending sth July, 1813, at X 58,967,361, and for the
year euding 15th July, 1814, at £62,936,097. The
Irish and Portuguese payments for the interest on
their respective debts payable in England, are ex-
cluded from this statement ; and the War Taxes
appropriated for the interest of Loans charged on
them, are not included in the Consolidated Fund,
but under the head of War Taxes.

A Meeting of the German Sovereigns to settle the

One of the learned and pious Missionaries in the
South of Africa, kas lately penetrated into the inte-
rior, and discovered a City never before heard of,
containing 1500 houses. It is gratifying to learn,
that Christianity rapidly spreads through ail South
Africa.

The French Papers contain the following amusing
anecdote of an English Gentleman, who frequents
a Coffee House in Paris : —the House was alarmed
one evening by his vociferating the words Ccaitairel
CeGbataire 1 until he was perfectly hoarse, and his
gestures were so menacing that no person durst ap-
proach him. Upon turning to the dictionary, some
of the company discovered that thl Gentleman's
favourite word was synonimous with Garcon, which
means waiter, in common discourse ; but in common
with the word Celibataire, it also implies a state of •
Celibacy!
Though the Duke of BERRY has been so long ab-
sent from his native country, he seems fully to under-
stand the character of the French military. An anec-
dote related of him, illustrates at once his acuteness
in this respect, and his skill in availing himself of
their predominant foible. At a late review, over-
hearing some officers express their regret for—" e
Chief who for fifteen years together had led them to
victory," he turned quick upon them, and exclaimed

This was an action by the linrougli of Hemel Hem.
~read, in this county, to recover the sum of 3s. 6d.
or a forfeiture incurred by the defendant under a
~ye_ia,,e of the Corporation, for suffering a pig to
stray through the streets of the Birough.
rhefact of the unfortunate pig being out of bounds,
and illegally parading the streets of the Borough, was
clearly proved, but, fur the defendant, his two sisters
came and proved, that the Corporation had bought
their action against the wrong person, fbr that the
offending pig did not belong to the defendant, but to
their mother, who had died some short time back, and
that t!,e rig was sold at her death to pay the rent of
her c qtage. On this evidence the Corporation was
ttonsilitcd.
