Lord Goderich's idea that the National Debt is merely
an annuity, of the principal is irrecoverable, is
half true and half-erroneous : as far as regards either a
choice or compulsory means on the part of the creditor, it
ie the case ; but, -.v-ten the debtor thinks he can frighten
the former into lower terms of interest, he is at liberty to
talk of paying off tae principal.
The following is an extract of a letter, dated Abingdon,
April 30:—" The spring, which is fully a fortnight ear-
lier than that of last year, has introduced a phenomenon
of so novel a character, that it is the general topic of con-
versation in those now delightful regions where the cherry
orchards bespot the sylvan bosom of reviving nature. It
is well known that the delicate foliage of the beech woods
is the object gene ally of universal admiration about the
period that the cherries are in blossom, and that the oak,
vieing with the surrounding forest, adds to the charms of
the scenery by contrasting a sombre majesty with its ver-
dant and blooming neighbours. This year, however, the
reverse is th,) fact ; for, :although the cherry-trees were in
full bloom, the beech mere still bare on the 23d instant,
while the oak, on tho contrary, is many instances, were
out in leaf. This freak of nature has caused a great dis-
appointment among the fellers of oak, who have been
obliged to suspend the operation till next year. Such
a fact is not remembered to have occurred before.

We received last night, per Salis Richards, through
the North and South American Coffee-house, American
Papers to the 10th April. The Committee on judiciary
of the House of Representatives have recommended the
impeachment of Judge Peck in Missouri; and there is an
accusation also against Judge Cockling, formerly a
Member of CouoTess, and now a Judge of the District
Court of New York. Fears are entertained that these
cases will cause a very inconvenient interruption to the
current of business. These Papers contain a Report of
the Committee of the Senate on the subject of a National
Currency, in which it is recommended to abide by the
present sound state of the circulation. "It is the radical
vice of all Government Paper (observe the Committee)
to be issued without regard to the business of the com-
munity."

It is said that Peirce Mahony, Esq. has succeeded to
the valuable office of Accountant-General of the Irish
Court of Exchequer, void by Mr. O'Neill's death.
We have seen letters from the Island of Terceira, of
so late a date as the 18th tilt. The weather during the
previous week had been wet and boisterous, and the
blockading squadron had disappeared. The Regency
had established a newspaper called the Terceira Chro-
nicle, which was much better printed than the Lisbon
Gazette. Aa amateur theatre had also been got up
by the officers of the garrison at Angra. The troops are
more determined than ever to resist succumbing to Mi-
guel, and are well supplied with every necessary. Eng-
lish manufactured goods and colonial produce were then
so abundant that they were almost unsaleable, except at
a loss to the importers. The Plymouth Journal stated,'
in its last number, that the Pearl schooner, Fox, master,
bound from that port to Terceira, had been taken by the
blockading squadron, and carried to Lisbon. We are
happy to state, that such is not the fact, the Pearl
having arrived safe at Angra on the 17th ult.—Water-

It seems it is the public who pay for the decorations of
a man wlito receives the order of the gaiter. A mantle
costs 741. 10s. and the collar, garter, &e. 2791. 105. 9d.
—total, 3541. Os. 9d. This, at least, was the expense
that was incurred at the installation of the I)uke of Rich-
mond. No wonder that we should hear of a project for
doubling the taxes in the lith year of peace !!

Three clauses have been added in committee to the bill
for amending the sub-letting act. The first provides,
that in cases of covenant against alienation, by will,
no future waiver shall extend to any other breach than that
expressly waived. The second clause provides, that
persons holding under-lettings by orders of courts shall
not sub-let, or if they do, the court may declare the
tenancy determined ; suul the third clause gives to as-
signees of landlords the power of re-entry, &c. against
tenants sub-letting.—Dublin Illurniny Reyister.
