person on business she had left the door jar between the rooms and i could dis tinctly hear her as she discoursed with a gruffvoiced man to the following effect man well mistress is the old gentle man ready landlady not quite jem you must come back in the evening man thats impossible i have to go beyond whitechapel for an old lady who must be pretty well dead by this time aud i have got a sac that will hold em both and id words with my employer about the last bargain not being as fresh as might be 10 that 1 shouldnt object if the old gentle man did stir a little in the sack after 1 get him to mr mangless house landlady well i dont know he is all but gouo and itsdangerous to keep such things in an honest lodging now the cry is up about them remember 1 must have half whats given if you should do me out of a penny ill split so come give us the sack to spring out from my deathbed on the floor with a yell of murder j to ling the door to and bolt it on the inside was the affair of a moment rendered short vigorous and decisive by despair chairs tables every article of the furniture of a sick room did i pile up in miraculous haste to form a barrier sufficient to keep the demons who were oo the outside in check while i might by my cries from the window invite the neighbourhood and passengers to witness my danger an j defend my life but super fluous were these precautions with a clatter louder than that which i occasioned by throwing up my fortifications within and with a yell which for a moment dea fened me to my own cry of murder did the wretches tumble over each other all the way down stairs then out of the street door they rushed together and turning the corner disappeared my head already half out of the window i paused to reflect upon my condition if i should alarm the neighbourhood my landlady would doubt less retaliate upon me my accusation with a couoterchargo of insanity aud two many thiogs would concur to give colour to such an imputation even perhaps to the placing me in a madhouse for life i therefore thought my wisest course to be the one which i adopted in perfect silence 1 dressed and having merely armed myself with a poker against the possibility of ray assailants returoiug in force beforo 1 should be able to descend the stairs and leaving without reluctance behind me every part of that small stock of property which i had with me in my lodgings 1 made my escape bidding a hasty and last farewell to the house which had now nearly witnessed the closing scene of ray unhappy life ofteu since have i shuddered as i passed that house though now inhabited by very re spectable and honest people the demon in widows shape i never since set eyes on our do i ever wish it- the rest of my story is shortly told this paragraph appeared in the papers the gallant sir felix who isjust returned from the continent has announced bis marriage with the accomplished miss 1 which took place two years ago under circumstances which made it neces sary that it should not sooner be publicly declared when i say that miss d was the earliest of lady annes friends the mystery of all that poisoned happiness of my married life is solved la obedience to the gossips stipulation i had never had the frankness to ask my wife concerning her position with sir felix it was on her friends ac count alone she had ever cotnmuuicatcd with him before her marriage she had been trusted by them bad suffered their letters to pass through her hands and on the morning of her marriage she had for mally resigned that trust when she claim ed an asylum in the bouse of her friend that friend bad already for some time beeo sir felixs wife there is one concluding part of my nar rative which my readers will not have ex- eected lady auoe is reconciled to me ut as the condition the ouly oue of her forgiveness she has insisted on mv com mitting my memorials to paper as holding up to me a beacon to warn me hereafter from those dangers on which so often in former times the whole freight of my hap piness was made wreck now that i have completed my task it is against her wish that i publish it but hereshemust be dis obeyed if it be the record of my own dis grace it is uo less that of her many virtues as such it shall go forth into the world there is one more act of justice which alas i cannot perform it is to confess to my poor brother that the maxim of his sim plicity was as wise as it was amiable this though his death has prevented 1 have a- dopted his maxim will his children and together with them make it my own aud thus as it were i inscribe to his memory as the moral of my tale on the whole a greater share of happiness belongs to one who from thinking a little too well of the world is sometimes deceived thau to oue thioking a great deal too ill of the world has through life to eat the bread of care ful ness seasoued with the bitter experience that in a pitched battle between a sly man and 6ly mankind the odds are awfully

thathehaddipieused the par ties in the disputes with regard to the por tuguese succession aud quoted this as an evidence of impartiality the duke of wellington towards the close of his address described the strength and importance of terceira and said that now that the gov ernment of brazil and portugal had beeu separated it was the policy of this country not to allow don pedro to become possess ed of terceira it was likewise of impor tance that no part of the ancient dominions of portugal should fall iuto the hands of the emperor of brazils on a division the numbers were for the motion oj against it 13g majority 93 the debate on the distress of the country was resumed in the house of commons on the same night when mr oconnoll succeeded iu delivering the speech to which he endeavored to give utterance on tho 9th after a long debate the motion for an inquiry was voted down 235 to 87 majority for ministers ig3 meetings coutinucd to be held in vari ous parts of england on

county bank of eugland which has been projected by them as likely to assist in re lieving the distress of the country it is meant that the establishment shall be fixed in loudon as its head quarters aud from theuce set on foot new branch banks iu va rious parts of the country the resulr of the interview has not yet transpired the following gentlemen composed the deputa tion to the duke of wellington viz the earl of daruley lord althorp mr spring rice sir thomas lethbridgc sir henry parnell the hon mr liddeil mr tenny son sir e knatchhull and mr jnphn the above article which we copy from a morning paper giveswe believe pretty ac curately the views of the parties who as it is tnlol had an interview with the dukt of wellington on saturday last the imme diate purpose of the deputation was to cou- vey to the first lord of the treasury the opinion that an improvement in the coun try banking system was desirable at the present moment that the best mode of car rying it into effect was by means of a me tropolitan establishment aud that to fa cilitate the formation of such a company some alterations in the act passed in 1826 were desirable the answer which the par ty received was we believe in substance that the government had the subject alrea dy under consideration but as it involved othor great interests all that the miuisters could then say was that the opinions and wishes which it was the object of the depu tation to convey should receive the best at tention of government courier march 23 very late from england we have again to announce another ex traordinary short passage the josephine capt britton from belfast capt b sailed on the 27th of march and arrived off the hook on the 12th of april having made his passagein sixteen days capt b brought gores liverpool adver tiser of the 25th of march containing lon don dates of the 23d from these papers and from our paris papers to thc21stult we have made extensive selections for our first page and the following epitome of ge neral iutelligeoee the sketches of do- bates in the chamber of deputies upon ho answer to the kings speech are full of spirit and interest lo the house of lords on the 19lh lord kins gave notice that on monday week he would move certain resolutions on the corn trmlo earl stanhope gave notice that on the 25th he should move for certaio papers re lative to free trade on thc22d of march the lord chan cellor spoke at great length on the subject of the improvement of the law as di rected by the king at the cmuicucemeut of the session the house of commons was engaged on the 17th 18th and 19th in discussions ou the state of the country near the close of the third days dcbaievir ocon- nell rose to speak but was put down by cries of question adjournment c he then attempted to have the de bate adjourned over until the 32cl that he might have a chance of speakiug but he was voted dowu 441 to 9 finally how ever the debate was adjourned over to the 23d iu the commons on the 22d mr ocou- nell presented a petition praying for a re peal of the uuion between england aud ireland its fate perhaps will bo best kuowu by the words of mr hume who iu defending the hon member from the at tacks of almost all those who spoke ou the question said it was his duty to pre sent it but he had not given a single opi nion on the object at which it aimed mr peel appeared at the bar of the house with a message from thokiug for increasing the number of judges a brief notice of the budget of the chan cellor of the exchequer was given last eveuiug stating the relief which ministers propose by the repeal of the taxes npon beer leather and cider we have since road the expose attentively through the whole estimated revenue of the kingdom for the ensuiug year after these reductions is 50480090 the expenditure will be on account of the national debt 25670001 the sum of 16580000 for tho year 1830 will cover the different charges for the ar ray the navy the ordnance aod the mis cellaneous expenditure the total amount of the public charge for the present year for which the house will have to provide will be 47812000 leaving a clear surplus of 26g7000 an augmentation of re venue from an increase of duties nnou spi rits is anticipated sufficient to swell the clear surplus to 3000000 mr goul- bourn informs the house that the most thorough investigations are goiog on through every department aod branch of the public service coloeiel and otherwise wiih a view to the reduction of the public expenditure a proposition is to he brought forward from which great relief is antici pated for a reduction of the interest of the four per ceuls mr a- baring followed the chancellor of the exchequer contending that all the financial arrangements of ministers for a reduction of tho debr hnd failed and teiat all hopes of a surplus were visionary aud that all measures for sustaining the public credit had failed in regard to the propo sition for a reduction of the four per cents he viewed the proposition as a breach of the national faith both unjust and impolitic on its injustice bespoke as a fuodhnldcr of its impolicy as a theo rist the injustice cousists in that the go vernment should propose to take a less in terest fur his money thau was originally contracted for the courier snys the proposal is not thai the creditor shall take less interest for his money hut that he may take less in terest or ttko his money back at his op tion and this in every loan is consistent with the contract between tho public cre ditor and the government though the former in lending disclaims the power of recalling his money the latter always re tains the power of returning it on the 20th march a duel took place at dublin between captain smith of the 22d regiment of foot and stand ish siamer ogrady esq son of baroen ogrady in which the latter at the firs fire was mor tally wounded the bullet entering his right side immediately over the hip and passiug through his body

the minister of the interior signed montbel tho constitutionnel of the 20th con tains some shrewd commentaries on the prorogation of the chamber tho mea sure it says cannot be considered an being jiiknrjrt a pajofl ud whlmut fefleeiiuu power in its most sudden movements has always some motives though they may be foolish ones aud the prorogation must be regarded as the result of a plan previously contrived to escape from tho deliberate aud significant expression of parliamenta ry opinion those who dive into tho views of the ministers and their political friends suppose that among their calcula tions one is that they will be able to buy twentyfive of the forty majority before september some suppose that a modi fication of the cabinet will be tried in the mean time it is asked what is to be iqne with the law d organisation damor- tissement which was acted upon in june and whether the ministry will undertake to settle by a simple ordnance what ought to be regulated bylaw and whether the amount of tho expenses of the expedition to algiers will be settled by the kings simple warrants the constitutionnel also asks whether the ministers suppose iu case they should buy the twenty five votes that the forty majority who carried the ad dress constitute the whole strength of the opposition in the chamber as to the threats of a dissolution he says it is exact ly what the deputies desire and opinion calls for the kiog is said lo he resolved he is known to have said within the twenty four hours preceding the prorogation jaimt mttvx monter a chtval que monter en char-

this subject is already before the public and mr goulburn in calling the attention of the house to the mode of carrying it into effect merely re capitulated that plan he observed that the state of thecouutry beingsuch as would admit of this measure being adopted a measure by which a saving to the public of 778000 annually would be effected it was the duty of miuisters to take advantage of circumstances and by so doing afford relief to the country to that amount io slating that government pro posed to give to the holders of the new four per cent for everyc100 of that stock 100 three and a half per cent stock which n as at present at 9u he also gave a pledge that no further reduction should be made in this stock for ten years to come tho right hon gent was interrogated by mr bern a i and other lion members as to the fflode wfafeb h iuleujed itf adopt of pay- iug off the dissentients should there be any but this question mr goulburn declined answering at present not the slightest opposition was however made to the pro position the resolution moved by mr goulburn was adopted hy the house with out dissent and we believe tho country at large are fully satfsfied with the measure as one of retrenchment from the glasgow chronicle the rum tax and beer tax- the order from the board of excise london to the revcoue officers in the west of scotland to take all the stock which the distillers had in their premises preparatory to the impo sition of of the additional duty arrived on friday afternoon and never was an offi cial order executed by the supervisors with more celerity secrecy and despatch the immense distilleries at port dundas and in town and its eastern vicinity were visit ed in the dark hour of miduight and the quantity on hand taken before there was the possibility of diminishing the stock the edinburgh brewers have already announced the reduction of 1 per hogs head whenever the duty is taken off and the brewers in glasgow who are truly grateful for tbe concession made in their favor will also come into the market with an article which in quality and price tbey hope will merit public support lisbon march 13 it is not easytoeon- vey to you an accurate idea of the indigna tion of many persons ou heariog the state ment of lord aberdeen that the majority of the portuguese have supported miguels cause the fact is that the mass of the portuguese wish for peace and tranquillity but not for miguel public notice has been given of the sale of tho property of some oftheexilcs you will find them io the ga zette the two english merchant ships the britain and the vine and the ameri can ship gleaner have also been advertis ed for sale as lawfully condemned prizes principle upon which he proceeded in an able speech was that all regulations which lend to restrict or prohibit the importation of any foreign commodity are bolt impoli tic and unjust it is impolitic because it tends to impede tho exportation of british manufactures in exchauge for imports and it is unjust to make the laboring and mid dling classes pay 50 per cent more for the first necessaries of life in order to give a bonus to the landed interest the duke of wellington iu opposing the resolutions took occasion to remark that within the last two years more than 8000000 quar ters of foreign aod irish grain had heeo imported into england the resolutions were negatived without a division the cessions the public functionaries had en tirely withdrawn their influence from the electoral combat and that monarchy ha ving ceased to act in the colleges demo cracy remained in possession of the field of battle the fault apparently will never be committed again if the ministers suc ceed hy this or any other means in obtain ing n majority in thechamber of deputies the measures which they will adopt are to be decisive enough tbe gazette de france calls for a censorship the rocstablishment of jesuit schools and small seminaries a revision of the electoral laws c this however might be a dangerous experiment some think that m de villele will come into power but though he is unquestiona- morniug chronicle denounces the speech bly an able man he is not trusted by any of the premier ou the occasion as being narrow aud unstatesmanlike on the same day in the house of com mons a petitiou was presented from free holders of the county of kent chiefly from that class owning land worth from 1200 to 1500 per annum complaining of the hea viness of poor rates and of general distress they complained of free trade as one of the causevwhy the price of agricultural products was reduced by one half while the taxes were as heavy as ever they also described the distress partly to the state of the currency sir francis tfurdett said he was sorry to see in the petition the observations on what was called free trade the subject could novcr be fairly considered and acted upon until the corn laws were removed he gave uotice of a motion he intended to make soon after easter to have them re pealed the courier scoffs at the idea of his throwing new lightoo tho subject which has always presented ouly a choice of dif ficulties to many able men reciprocity treaties io the lords march i0 on occasion of the late recipro city treaty with austria laid before the house by tbe earl of aberdeen the earl of stanhope objected to thisaod other treaties which were founded ou what was called the reciprocity system there was in fact no reciprocities for all the advantange was on our side that is all was in favor of the foreign power and against groat britain it would be impossible for the british ship owner to compcto with the foreign parti cularly with lbe dir trtn pnltwh states on this system of reciprocity it ought always be kept in view that foreign vessels in general could be builtand equip ped at ono half the expense that attcoded tho building aod equipping the british ves sels the earl of aberdeen said this was not precisely a commercial treaty there had he believed been considerable difficulties among the shipping interests on referring to returns he found that the amount of ton nage erf british shipping had progressively increased during the last three years four hundred ships had passed the sound duriug the last year in addition to any number which bad passed in any year previous he did not know what other proof they could lave of an increase in shipping it was tree profits might not be so large as formerly viscount goderich had sometime since mooted this subject of the state of the ship ping the returns be had had in 1s23 by them it was fouud that with the excep tion ofnorway there bad not been an in crease uo foreign shipping but in the home shipping the reciprocity system was cer tainly one of imponauce formerly we used to impose a heavy duty ou all foreign ships coming to this country the conse quence of which was that other powers adopted tbe same system those recipro city systems were therefore established for the purpose of equalizing the plan he considered tbe treaties to be of infinite ser vice lord elleoborough said that during the last teo years the increase of shipping in litis couutry had nearly equalled that of all the other nations during tho samo sitting tho marquis or lansdowno moved an address to the kiog praying that he will direct tho cousuls abroad to make an inquiry iuto the state of lbs au05 ijj liici v respective stations and ijc mines id their respective statious and the quality exported more particularly in south america and russia aod transmit the account thereof to this country he had deemed it important to include russia as at the mine in the ural mountains with in the pale of that court very cousiderable party however his own prediction is now remembered three or four years ago when the opposition to bis ministry was very violent me said let them do as tbey please jacques de villele mourra ministre will die minister on the arrival of two of the deputies of the extreme gauche at rouen on the 23d ult the electors waited upon them in a body and one of them in the name of tho rest re turned thanks to them for having voted tbe address against miuisters mr thil one of the deputies said let us await the future gentlemen without fear but with out indulging in a deceitful security seven hundred electors of the depart ment of the

tti wrtet itfijirtrthrtl fonir fronl england says the albion is the great annual expose of the chancellor of the exchequer on the financial state of the nation the great plan of- ft the minister is to repeal the beer tax the malt tax and the leather tax which will take o from the burthen of the people the important s of 3400000 or 816000000 this is a serious deduction from the revenue but mr goulborn relics on the deficiency being made up by the augmented consumption of beer and of conse quence its two constituent parts malt and hops- upon which the duties remain unaltered by the diminished expense in the excise department for collecting the repealed duties and by the sav ings made in other branches of the expenditure amounting to 1300000 the experiment is a hazardous one and mr goulborn himself does not seem to be without his apprehensions still he relies on the cxpccued resuscitation of trade which will instantly increase the consumption of every exciseable commodity in the kingdom the yet latent energies of the country and the patriotism of the people should his expectations not be fully realized in fact he bespoke the in- it dugence and mercy of parliament at the close of his speech in the event of the failure of his plans the government wc think have been right ia resorting to the expedient as it is pro ductive of the double effect of relieving the poor er classes of grievous and burthensorae impost aud of showing a laudable consideration for the wishes and bufferings of the people nothing perhaps can more strongly mork the power of the popular voice
