which, deducted from the amount of estimated income, leaves a surplus of 3,019,8557. applicable for the reduction of the national debt.

Of the financial measures which he proposes to adopt, one is the funding of three millions of Exchequer Bills in the 4 per cents. at 1017. 10s. for every sum of 1007. in Exchequer Bills guaranteed not to be reduced before 1833.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer admits there is no probability that the commercial prosperity of the current year will equal that of the past; and that the depression of commerce, from which our numerous classes of labourers have so long and so severely suffered, are not likely to be speedily

removed. To those who measure the prosperity of the country by its imports and exports, the following efficient statements for the past year will be interesting:

Exports from Great Britain.. £61,000,000 Imports into 43,000,000

The annual grant for the support of the College at Maynooth has been passed through the House of Commons. It had been the general hope and expectation that the government, after enacting that no Jesuit should enter

the united kingdoms, and that no title or authority assumed by the Romish Priests should be considered lawful, would have further discouraged the Popish Clergy, by refusing to give them any longer that pecuniary support which is not extended to any Pro

testant establishment for the education of its Ministers. This, however, it has not thought proper to do, and being called upon during the debate by some members to declare, that the House would not be called upon to renew the grant after the present year, Lord Leveson Gower replied, that the government would not pledge themselves to withdraw the support so long afforded to this Institution. It may be remembered that Lord Redesdale, during the present Session, stated, in the House of Lords, the evils that have arisen from this College as very great; that, formerly, when the Papal Clergy were constrained to attend foreign Universities, they were necessarily taken from a comparatively superior station to the generality of their flocks, and being chiefly chosen from the junior branches of respectable families, they were in some degree united to the aristocracy of the country, and felt some interest in the maintenance of peace and tranquillity. The establishment of the College of Maynooth opened a door immediately for the

admission of the lower classes into the
ecclesiastical body; the support be-
stowed by the government enabled them
to receive their education at a trifling
expense to themselves, and they are
returned to their old friends with just
sufficient attainments to appear learned
in the eyes of the wholly unlettered,
and in a capacity calculated to give
their
them great influence among
former associates, without having ac-
quired any of that general knowledge,
or mixed in any society which, by
giving general and liberal views of the
state of mankind, could teach them
the necessity of subduing their own
passions, and, consequently, enable
them to exercise an effective control
over those of others. This, indeed, in
the spirit of the term subdue, can only
be obtained by the study of the Holy
Scriptures, a book which, though ge-
nerally open to the Roman Catholic

Clergy, is confessedly not to be found within the walls of Maynooth. Hence it is that the majority of the Papal Clergy in Ireland are greatly inferior to their ecclesiastical brethren, and are not ashamed to be found fomenting every species of riot and disorganization amongst their miserable flocks, proving themselves to be in very truth blind leaders of the blind.

PENINSULA. The cruelties of Don Miguel continually increase, and the condition of the unhappy kingdom of Portugal becomes daily more deplorable. Twelve persons of rank have been recently executed at Oporto, condemned for high treason, though the charges brought against them were grounded on actions performed by them six weeks previous to Don Miguel declaring himself King. On a report of Donna Maria's leaving England for Terceira, a vessel has been dispatched to intercept her on the passage. The inhabitants of this place do not express any alarm from the anticipation of the arrival of Don Miguel's expedition for their reduction; they have made great preparations for its reception, and boast that Angra once withstood a three years' siege. The usurping government talk of another armament to be sent out during the summer; but this is known to be rendered impossible from want of funds, it having been obliged to resort to every method, in order to procure adequate means for fitting out the one already dispatched. The poverty experienced by Don Miguel's cabinet has reached to such a height, that a seizure has been made of the money belonging to the public deposit, and the contractors with government have been called upon to advance large sums, which they have declined doing. The French papers speak of an overture of Don Pedro for obtaining the hand of the eldest daughter of the Duke of Orleans, accompanied by an offer of Donna Maria, in marriage to the Duke's eldest son. A Spanish plenipotentiary has taken up his abode in

Lisbon, and had an audience with the Queen Mother at Queluz, but does not assume the character of an ambassador.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.-The campaign in the East has been begun by an attack made by Hussein Pacha on the Russians near Bourgos, but after some severe fighting was compelled to retire with considerable loss. It is quite clear that the Turks have prepared themselves to act on the offensive, and the Sultan has announced his intention of taking the field in person with the army destined to protect Shoumla. Large reinforcements have arrived in that fortress, bringing with them ample stores of every article necessary for its defence in case the Russians should again penetrate to its walls. The Porte computes that it had in the field last year a force of 150,000 effective troops; at the approach of winter the irregulars returned home, as is the customary practice in Oriental armies. These are now returning to their post: for the last three months troops have been arriving at Constantinople, and marched forward immediately to join the main body of the forces lying encamped at Adrianople, previous to their dispersion through the different scenes of action. Bosnia has besides resolved to send its contingent of men this year, which it refused to furnish during the preceding one, and the Divan reckon on bringing into the field an army twice as numerous as in 1828. The fears of a famine at Constantinople are completely dispelled, and the emigration of the Jews and Turks has consequently ceased. The blockade of the Dardanelles has not hindered English speculators from passing through with supplies of corn; and a new order of the Government having abolished the monopoly of the corn trade, which has hitherto subsisted, it is hoped that this measure will check the spirit of usury, and that many concealed stores will be brought to light.
