According to the above Account. it appears that the hint which
we gave some time since to the holders of Foreign Corn has been
taken ; they having been prudent enough to pay up the duty,
within the last month, on upwards of 600,000 quarters of the va-
rious kinds of Grain and Flour. Upwards of half a IaHOU of
quarters niece, however, remained in bond on the Ist instant, the
duties on which—if they have not already done it—we trust the
holders will see the propriety of paying without further delay,ruinora
as the result will duubtleu be in some cases, especially on part.if not
the whole, of the Oats : but delay can only make had worse.—
The present quarter's revenue of Customs will exhibit a glorious
result far the sapient Editors of the Morning Pest and the Omelet.
to expatiate upon, but we leave them to enjoy the feast of their
congratulation with the holders of the half million of loaners of
Foreign Oats, Barley, and Beans. Ten days' continuance of fa-
vourable weather and tha fate of the British farmer is sealed; be
will see approachina ruin in the midst of plenty ; such is the result
of a graduated scale Corn Bill !!!
The following Statement exhibits the total importation of each
kind of Grain and Flour, and the quantity of each charged with
duty fur home consumption, from the Ist of January to the let
of August, 1829, with the quantity of each remaining in bond on
the latter date :

PATRIOTIC VERSES ADDRESSED TO
DONNA MARIA,
QUID o► PORTUGAL •ND •LGAZIII.
Repose on our bosoms, no harm shall come near tit-:,
Our old E.iglish honour no treason shall stain
Hark, Donna Maria, Britannia's sons cheer thee,
Live Donna Maria, Maria shall reign!

The English heart beats with pure fervour, fair Strangei
'Gainat Tyrants 'tis ateerd, for the helpless it warn)
Though Traitors yet menace thy young ►ead with danger,
Who dares wrong a Child England rakes to ber antis?
Then rest with Britannia, she'll watch Ile a parent •
Her soul is as true as ber wallies are green !
Hark, blood-crirnsou'd Tagus cries, " Death to the •1•y r.dit 1'
And Britain shouts back, Live Marla the Quten
In Vain secret foes in foul plats darkly dealing,
Our hearts to the bloody Usurper would draw
All England doth cry with but one heart and feeling,
Live Donna Maria Braganza, hurrah !

Ay ! such was my sous, when warm hope yet inspired ni •

To think still my land was the land of the free;
But. ah ! 'twas a dream—and the sprig that fired me
Sinks chill. injured Queen, whets I think upon thre
Britannia no more is a pattern of glory ;

A plotter of ill, she now smiles to betray ;
Dishonour stamps slime on this leaf of her story,
Power cannot compensate—or years wipe away.
The pure school of Hamm, whose virtue did guide It.:

Succeeded by traitors wbo trust to the sword;
Her sons are condemned to see strangers deride ber—

A foe to true freedom—a Carthage restored.
Go, gentle Maus—crust once mere the billow—
Wild seas are a refuge frees this heartless shore.
Where knaves conjure mischief around thy young pi:low
The friends of the Bloodhound, who thirsts fur thy gore
Tet think thee, when far in the arms of a Father,
Thou still kavest here honest champions behind,
Who, true in thy cause, to tby banner will gather
Ere kng, when the despots to shame are consigned.
These tools of the Goth, still conspiring to plague us,

Must soon fall in dun before liberty's throne
And thou" fair Maw, reign Queen of the Tagil,
When they, leagued to deep execration, are gone.

PANORAMA OF OF CONSTANTINOPLR.

This famous city being, must probably before this dly, t
longer the seat of the Mahommedan, ought to be viewed ; that one
may see what it was—net what it is. There is no way of doing
this, but by visiting Mr. Boaroao in the Strand. Front pressive
engagements, we have not been able to see Mr. Ucarosn's Vann
rams ; but several visitors have auured us that it is a magni-
ficent thing. A contemporary, this morning, speaks of it thus :
" The subject has bees happily chosen, and it is not the politiciao
alone who speculates upon the chances whether a descendant of the
Prophet, or another Constantine, will kneel beneath the proudly-
swelling dome of Santa Sophia ere a few more summer suns have
shone upon the surrounding mosques and minaret.. Nature
seems to have pointed out a spat on which the labour of
att might be most successful, and the city of the Ottoman
possesses advantages far beyond those of any other European
capital. A picture of Constantinople, therefore, presents to
us all the grandeur. inagnillaroce, and beauty of the scene.—
The gaudy dress of the Turks, too, tell well upon canvass, and a
panorama of the metropolis of the Turkish empire forms a.
striking and attractive an exhibidon as one could well conceive.
Its interest would be great any time; but, under existing circum-
stances. tt will, we doubt not, be inspected with more than com-
mon anxiety and eagerness. Mr. Burford has been exceedingly
successful: his pencil has been used with powerful erect. The
distant towers and public buildings are made out with much
distinctness, but, as they are at considerable distance from the
point of view, they necessarily afford to the spectator but a faint
idea of their extent and magnificence. On the whole, the pano.
rams of Constantinople is one of the most agreeable and interning
we bltve ever seen, and will, we doubt not, become exceedingly
popular." To this we add that, from this day's news, Mr. Bea-
man might nuke a profitable speculation by having another pano-
rama of " Cboutentirrople in Flagon"—a counterpart of Moscow, or
the York Minster.

The Lords of the Treasury have given a favourable
answer to the request for making the city of Lincoln a port ~;

The Director of the Royal Hospital at Greenwich,
under whose direction the award of prize money is made, have
during the last month held their sittings on that branch of s..r-
vice in town • where, in future, their meetings will be belt', at
being determined to abolish the sittings at Greenwich. The Trea-
surer of the Navy, for the time being, will preside at them. At
the Meeting of the Board there were present, in addition to the
Treasurer of the Navy, Viscount Lowther, Lon! Auckland, &c.
The Commissioners held another Meeting at the Navy 016ce.
