The following is the summary of the Morning Chronicle:—
" The revenue raised annually in France is 1
francs. The landed proprietors paid of this 450,000 000 francs
of direct taxation, and 221,000,000 francs of taxes' on
gumption, in 1837; which, calculated on the scale of IcBo4-
makes 728,000,000 francs, out of the 1,580 millions 4f,..,
addition to this, landed property in France is mortgaged to
the amount of thirteen milliards; the interest of which --
650,000,000 francs a year. This inekes 1,328,000,000 franc':
paid by the French landed proprietors, out of a next annual
income of 1,800,000,000 francs. What remains is, according
to M. Mauguin, not sufficient to keep the laded inter
est above water. And the proof is, that than mount of
mortgage increases yearly. In the eight years from 1832 to
1840, it increased by a capital of which the interest is
154,000,000 francs a year. Landed property was continually
splitting and dispersing. In twenty years, two-thirds of the
landed property in France changed not only hands but
families. The tendency of fortunes was not to exceed 3,000
francs (X 120) a year. What kind of education could fathers
of families of such fortunes give to their children? Would
such people go to the expense and luxury of a parliame,.
government? No; it would infallibly prefer the g,...
of the sword. The population of France, continued M
Mauguin, increased more in times offi disaster than in times
of prosperity and peace. The twenty
e millions of French-
men in 1789 were twenty-nine millions in 1815. From 1801
to 1805, the augmentation was 414,000 souls; from 1806 to
1810, 781,000. It was about a million in four years up to
182.5. From that year the tendency was in an opposite di-
rection, every four years being but an
increase of 600,000.
M. Manguin laid tliis at the door of faulty taxation, which
weighed principally on landed proprietors ; and yet an agri-
cultural population' rave less trouble to government, was
more tranquil, more pacific, and more.desirable. After having
laid down these premises, M. Alauguin proceeded to treat of
wine property. This had flourished undo! the R.epublic,
when there was no octroi and no excise. Napoleon imosed
these, and injured the wine districts: therefor pe
did the p popu-
lation dislike him. The elder Bourbons u
favored. the wine
districts and restored them the facility of exportation ; but,
wines of the
falling soon into the prohibitive system,tbe
south no longer found markets, and the freedom. of export
became useless. Wine land in France bad increased one-
fourth since 1780 • but the population had increased by one-
half. It could not' be said, therefore, that too much wine
was grown; and yet the value of wine land, bad so fallen that
it could not find purchaser or mortgagee.

the master,
four fellows, and the churchwardens, accompanied by the
five poor brethren, the five poor sisters, and the twelve poor
scholars, proceeded to the chapel of the college with the
candidates, 12 in number, all bearing the surname of Allen
or Alleyn, to hear prayers ; after which the electors proceeded
to ballot for two out of the list to be the candidates—as by
one of the statutes only two persons are eligible to be the
candidates ; when upon the ballot papers being examned,
the choice was found to have fallen on Mr. Charles Allen, of
!Brasenore College, Oxford, and Mr. J. G. N. Alley" of 23,
Dover-street, who had come over from Dresden for de pur-
pose of offering himself. As soon as this announcement was
made, two exceedingly long strips of paper were taken, and
in the corner of one of them was written " God's Gift ; "
they were then rolled tip and tied round with a pic.ce of tape.
The prize and the blank were then nut into a tin box and
the lid put on, which was then handed to the master, who,
standing at the altar, held the box in his right hand, which
he elevated above his head, and their shook it three times,
turning it over at each of the shakes. The votes of the elec-
tors having made Mr. Charles Allen the senior candidate,
he was called to the altar, and the lid being removed, the
box was placed on the crown of his head, from which he
drew one of the rolls of paper. The box was then handed to
the other candidate, who as a matter of course, took the
other paper. The two car;didates were then desired to un-
fold their papers, but so great was the uneasiness of each
that it was witl; great difficulty they unrolled the papers.'

election of a new sovereign. The day, is not yet fixed, but it
will probably be so in the course of next week. It was
doubtful whether Sir Stratford Canning would submit, but
he has received despatches from his governmeWl' by which
he is enjoined to set aside the question as to whether the
treaties of Ajkermann, of Bucharest and Adrianople give the
Ottoman Porte the right of mixing up herself in the internal
affairs of Servia, and to range himself on the side of Austri.
The Divan assembled, but M. de Boutenieff was the
minister present. The discussion was very stormy.
a long time the result was doubtful. The m;-
spoke against the adoption of the Russian ultimatum spoke
with unusual vehemence, particularly Riza Pacha; the par-
tisans of Russia were more calm and moderate. Sarim Ef-
fendi spoke in favour of the ultimatum. It is thought that
the Sultan advised his ministers to declare in favour of Rus-
sia, at the same time giving them free liberty of action. The
Sultana Valide is said to have influenced the Sultan to this
decision. As far as regards the choice of a new sovereign,
Sir Stratford Canning will, it is said, demand the exclusion
of the Obrenowitsch family. This is looked on as the more
extraordinary, as there is no treaty which gives England a
right to exercise such influence."—ilfor.Ling Herald_
