standing, become very inveterate and difficult to cure, and
not unfrequently terminate in consumption. In cases of this
kind the Balsam should be resorted to immediately, and re-

complete. Sold in Bottles at Is. lad., 2s. 9d., and 4s. 6d. each.

GREECE.

The diplomatic rupture between Turkey and Greece,
previously reported from Athens, is now confirmed from
Constantinople. When Nechet Bey, Ottoman charg6
d'affairs at Athens, asked that the Greek officers who had
joined the insurgents should be recalled, the government
replied that they had resigned their commissions. When
he complained that their resignations had been accepted,
he received an evasive answer. The government refused
to admit that there were insurrectionary committees at
Athens, although the fact is notorious. Seeing that the
Greek ministers were determined to evade all their obliga-
tions, Nechet Bey demanded his passports. M. Metaxaf
has already left Constantinople. The representatives of
France and England notified to the Greek cabinet that
their governments would hold Greece responsible for the
consequences of the rupture.
The Vienna papers publish advises from Constantinople
of the 27th ult., according to which the Porte has resolved
to expel all the subjects of King Otho from the Sultan's
dominions. A declaration of war was expected to accom-
pany the execution of this measure. The Turks have in
Thessaly and Epirus a force of 15,000 men, of whom 3,000
are cavalry, with 120 guns. As soon as the roads are
practicable this corps will be reinforced, and the insurrec-
tion, it is expected, will be attacked in its centre and
home, which is Greece. Arta, the fall of which has so
many times been reported from Athens, has a garrison of
3,000 men.
It is affirmed in Trieste that the Greek government has
bought three Russian ships-of-war now lying in that port,
with all the material of war, which is still on board.

_LP TESTIMONIAL FROM BOSTON, UNITED STATES.
To Mr.- PROUT, 229, Strand, London.—Dear Sir,—The
annexed from a rheumatic patient I forward to you in case it
should be of any use.—Yours, BRAY and HAVES.
Boston, Nov. 23, 1853.
"I have been a great sufferer from inflammatory rheumatism
more or less during the past twelve years; I was confinedr-to
my bed for three months at a time in smite a helpless condi-
tion. I have been under the care of some of the most distin-
guished members of the medical faculty in Boston, New
Totk,..Thiladelphia, and Baltimore, but have never been able
to get relief for any length of time until I was induced by a
friend to try Blair 's Pills, which I found to be quite effica-
cious. Since then I have not suffered from rhennurtic pain.
. _

" Boßton, Oct. 20, 1853. ELISHA I. PITI'S:"
FURTHER PROOF OF THE EFFICACY OF BLAIR'S GOUT
AND RHEUMATIC PILLS, forwarded by Mr. W.. H. Taylor,
Warminster:—" Wm. Penny, of Cortos. near Warminster,
Wilts, vas afflicted with rheumatism to such an extent that
he could not move hand or foot ; he was recommended by a
gentleman to try Blair's Pills, and accordingly procured a
box at Mr. Taylor's, of Warminster, from which he derived
so much benefit that he sent for another, which effected .a con•
plete cure"—John J. Giles, Esq., of Frimley, near Bagshot,
says:: " Having suffered much from acute rheumatism, I was
induced totry your Blair's Pills, and beg to bear my humble
testimony to their efficacy."—Mr. Wm. Courtney, of Barton
Stacey, Hants, says : " I had resort to your Pills, and within
two hours was quite easy. The use of these Pills ought
really to be known all over the world."
Among the many discoveries that characterise this eventful
age, nothing has conferred such a boon upon suffering
humanity as that important discovery for Gout and Rheuma-
tism, BLkilt'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS; they
require neither attention nor confinement, and are certain to
prevent the disease attacking any vital part.—Sold by all
Medicine Vendors. Pr ce 2s. 9d. per box.—Observe that

EOLIAN VENTILATOR HAT, •
(6 AND 7 Vic., CAP. 65),
LONDON, 31sT OCTOBER, 1653.
The want of a properly Ventilated and Easy-fitting Hat, particularly since the introduction of the Silk Hats into general
use, has given rise to many seeming improvements. The Inventors and Patentees of the EOLIAN VENTILATOR HAT
have succeeded on the correct principle of Ventilation, by forming an Air Channel immediately around the head, permitting

CorroN.—The market during the week has been
dull, owing to the same causes which have affected
all commercial operations, but towards the close a
much better spirit was manifest. Consols were
improving, and the money market being consi-
derably easier, holders did not display so much
disposition to sell. The sales for the week, up to
Friday, amounted to 34,480 bales, of which 2,810
were on speculation and 2,060 for export. The
advices per Arabia were received on Saturday ; but,
as the market is less affected by operations in
America than by affairs on this side the Atlantic,
they made no impression, although, under ordinary
circumstances, they would have been deemed
favourable. To-DAY there was a much improved
demand, and prices were higher, although the
increase was not sufficient to alter the quotations,
The sales were between 7,000 and 8,000 bales, and
the market closed firmly with some animation,
the demand having been more general, and for
larger lots, than for some time past. The following
is a comparison of present rates with those of the
corresponding period of last year :-

TLPJ?SDAY MORNING, APRIL 11, 1854.

THE NATIONAL REVENUE.

THE customary tables of the National Income
for the year and quarter ended sth April, were
published on Thursday. last week.we gave the
statement usually made in •anticipation of the re-
sults, but it will be seen upon reference that it has
not been realised. It is true that upon the total
of the quarter there isan increase of £213,744, but
it is made up solely by direct taxation, the most
oppressive of all means =of raising revenue. Taxes
show an increase of £87,833, and Property-tax of
£415,481, and here the improvement ends. The
Customs show a decrease of £106,891 ; the Excise,
a decrease of £155,231; Stamps, a decrease of
£6,056 ; Crown-lands, .a decrease of £7,000 ; and
Miscellaneous, a decrease Of £8,831; the Post-
office returns being exaCtlythe same. Here is no
flattering picture of Mr. GDA.DSTONE'S financial
ability, and no pleasant prospect for the future,
when it is remembered that the source to which
the screw has already been applied ‘is the only one
which he seems able to makeavailable for the exi-
gencies of 4 the cominr, war. This is a manifest
injustice, for the class which is now burdened with
a tax amounting, in. the year just ended, to
L 5,975,677, and from. which the rest of the com-
munity is exempt, has been already called upon to
contribute three millions more within the next six
' months ; and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
is unable to devise any means by which the bur-
den may be more equally distributed. The account
for the year is much more favourable, there being
n increase* under every separate head, with the
. exception of Miscellaneous.; the total on Ordinary
Revenue being £1,041,412, and the gross amount
of increase; 21,485,050; so that, upon the whole,
the national resources are in as fair a condition
as, under existing circumstances, might have been
anticipated. In the items of . expenditure is a
charge of about two millions for paying off non-
commuters of certain stocks, which, with the ad-
ditional amount devoted to the Sinking Fund, and
the interest of Exchequer Bills, reduces the sur-
plus ;to £1,581,775, instead of £3,359,284, which
was the amount at the corresponding period of last
year. The Exchequer Bills, which will probably
be required to meet the charge on the Consolidated
Fund, are stated at not less than £5„852,048, so
that the interest at the present increased rate will
form an additional item of expenditure, notwith-
standing Mr. GLADSTONE'S ingenious schemes for

saving.

LIVERPOOL TOWN DUES.

HER MA.lssres Commissioners will hold a public
meeting to-morrow (Wednesday), in St. George's Hall,
"for the purpose of enquiring into all charges, other than
custom ditties and the like, which are levied or leviable in
any of thg ports or harbours of the United Kingdom, by
any person or persons, body corporate or local authority,
upon ships, or upon goods carried in ships, whether in the
nature of passing tolls or otherwise, and to report upon
the nature and amount of such charges; the title or
authority in law under which the same are levied; the
application of the same, and whether, and how far they are
applied to any purpose from which the person paying the
same derives any benefit ; also upon the exemption, if any,
of any particular persons, or classes of persons, from any
of such charges." The men of Manchester have lately dis-
covered a new grievance in having to pay the town dues
of Liverpool, for such of their goods as have the advantage
of the port, and their Town-clerk is instructed to use all
his eloquence, to persuade the Commissioners that this is
an injustice to which they ought not to be subject. The
real grievance, however, is that the Borough has a mag-
nificent corporation estate, and the inhabitants are lightly
taxed ; while the new made City has very little property;
its affairs are indifferently managed, and the inhabitants
are heavily rated. They would not derive any advantage,
however, if the dues were taken oft; as the only gainers
would be a few of the large merchants and shippers.

GREECE.

The latest accounts agree in. stating that the Greek in-
surrection made no progress.

Constantinople letters say that a faction had risen• in
Greece who wished to depose the King, and elect a native
Greek in his place.

THE RUSSIANS SERVIA.
' VII=NA, MONDir MOILNIIT6.

It was known last night in the highest military circles
that the Russians have violated the Servian territory.
They crossed the Danube at Radoievacy, above Widdin.
There is no doubt that Austria will immediately occupy
Servia with a large force,; and the Danubian Steam-.Cora-
puny have received orders to hold all their vessels at
Semlin and Orsova in readiness to transport troops for
the Austrian government,
The Journal ' Oest Correspondez confirms the intelli-
gence as to the signing of a protocol by the four powers,
asserting the principles. laid down by the Vienna con-
ference. The Times! Paris correspondent writes, on
Sunday evening—" It, was rumoured yesterday and the
day before, that a Russian of rank had arrived in Paris
with a secret mission, the object of which was not clearly
stated. lam assured that no such agent is known to the
French government,, and that no overtures, direct or in-
direct, of the naturalinted at have been made to them."

are growing vigorously require a liberal supply. Succu-
