Nctos of tfie zmclx 



The Morocco War, which our Ministry a [fortnight 

 since were disposed to treat with something like indiffer- 

 ence, has now assumed so important a character, that a 

 squadron of line-of-battle ships has been ordered to as- 

 semble on the coast of Morocco, under the command of 

 Sir Edward Owen, in order to watch the movements of 

 the French fleet under the Prince de Joinville. The 

 Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian Governments have also 

 sent ships of war to the same quarter, and the Spanish 

 Ministry are said to be contemplating an attack on Tan- 

 giers. The French, in the meantime, are pouring large 

 bodies of troops into Algeria, and making immense pre- 

 parations for a decisive struggle, if events should render 

 it necessary to resort to extreme measures. The Em- 

 peror, according to the last accounts from Paris, has 

 shown a disposition to comply with the demands of 

 France, and has already dismissed or imprisoned the 

 Moorish officers who had first ordered the violation of 

 French territory. This fact is considered favourable, and 

 it is hoped that the other demands of France, viz., that 

 no collection of troops shall take place on the frontier, 

 and that Abd-el-Kader shall be sent away from the coun- 

 try, will ultimately be granted. The French Government 

 distinctly disavow all intention of extending their posses- 

 sions in Africa, and repeat the assurance that their sole 

 object is to obtain a just reparation and the security of 

 their African territory.— From Spain we have further 

 rumours of conspiracies in different parts of the country, 

 but it is strongly suspected that they are caused by po- 

 litical hostility and with the view of exciting the people 

 against the Progresista party. The prisons are filled 

 with political prisoners, belonging chiefly to that party ; 

 and many of the provinces are in a state of great alarm, 

 and apprehensive of approaching disturbances.— From 

 Italy we learn that the insurgents who recently landed 

 on the coast of Calabria have all been taken by the Nea- 

 politan troops, and that the two sons of Admiral Ban- 

 diera, who had deserted the Austrian service and become 

 the leaders of the movement, are among the number of 

 the captured.— From the United States we learn that 

 Congress has dissolved without coming to any decision 

 on the Texas question, but an important announcement 

 has been made by the Mexican Government to the effect 

 that they will resist the project of annexation by every 

 means in their power. No doubt is entertained at New 

 York, that if the Senate had accepted President Tyler's 

 proposals in regard to Texas, war would already have 

 commenced between Mexico and the United States. 



At home, the Revenue Returns, which were published 

 on Saturday, present the same favourable results which 

 have marked the Returns of several quarters past. The 

 Customs have increased 835,349/. for the year, and 

 312,029/. for the quarter; the Excise have in- 

 creased 420,073/. for the year, and 85,479/. for 

 the quarter ; while the Property-tax, though exhi- 

 biting a slight decrease on the quarter, gives an in- 

 crease on the year of not less than 1,929,666/. The 

 increase on the Post-office is still satisfactory, be- 

 cause it is certain and progressive ; the increase on 

 this branch for the year is 34,000/., and for the quarter, 

 10,000/.— In Parliament, various important measures 

 have been advanced with a rapidity characteristic of the 

 late period of the Session. The Poor Law Amend- 

 ment Bill has been under discussion in the Commons, 



but it has not excited so much interest as the Government _ _ ^ 



Bill for the management of Railways, which will doubtless quarter of 276,299/. 



pass without modification, notwithstanding the powerful j Parliamentary Movements 



1 opposition it has met with from the railway companies. 

 The Sudbury Disfranchisement Bill has also passed, 

 together with the Bill for extending the Qui-tam Act, 

 which is already so well known in sporting circles. Mr, 

 Cowper's Bill for legalising the formation of Field 

 Gardens in rural districts was read a second time on 

 Wednesday, and was favourably received by both sides 

 of the House. — The arguments in the Writ of Error, in 

 the case of Mr. O'Connell and others, were brought to 

 a close on Wednesday, and certain questions were sub- 

 mitted to the Judges on the points of law raised on 

 behalf of the appellants. It was generally expected that 

 judgment would have been given on Thursday, but the 

 departure of the judges on their respective circuits, as 

 soon as the arguments were concluded, rendered this 

 impossible. Some days must elapse before their answers 

 can be received, and the judgment of the House of 

 Lords is consequently deferred for the present.

Court. — The Queen, accompanied by the Princess 

 Royal, took an airing on Saturday afternoon in an open 

 carriage, Prince Albert, and the equerries in waiting, 

 accompanying Her Majesty on horseback. Her Majesty 

 visited her Royal Highness the Princess Sophia at 

 Kensington. The Queen and Prince Albert honoured 

 the Italian Opera with their presence in the evening. 

 On Sunday Her Majesty and the Prince attended divine 

 service in the Chapel Royal of Buckingham Palace. On 

 Monday the Queen and Prince Albert took their usual 

 morning walk in the Palace Gardens, and in the after- 

 noon Her Majesty took an airing in in open carriage 

 and had a dinner party in the evening. On Tuesday 

 the Queen and Prince took their usual walks in the 

 Palace Gardens, and afterwards rode out in an open 

 carriage. On Wednesday Her Majesty held a Privy 

 Council, at which Lord Heytesbury was declared Lord 

 Lieutenant of Ireland. In the afternoon of the same 

 day Her Majesty and Prince Albert left Buckingham 

 Palace for Windsor by the Great Western Railway. Oa 

 Thursday the Queen and Prince took an airing in a pony 

 phaeton. — The negotiations for the purchase of Norris 

 Castle for Her Majesty are entirely broken off, and as 

 Osborne House, from the confined nature of its accom- 

 modations, will be inadequate for Her Majesty to enter- 

 tain the King of the French, who is expected to arrive 

 in England in September, orders have been issued that 

 the Pavilion at Brighton shall undergo the necessary 

 preparations for the reception of the Court at that period. 

 The Duchess of Kent, attended by Lady A. M. Daw- 

 son and Sir G. Couper, embarked from Ostend on Wed- 

 nesday in the Princess Alice steam-vessel, and arrived 

 at Woolwich at half past 4 p.m., performing the passage 

 in the short space of ten hours. Her Royal Highness 

 appeared in excellent health. Sir F. Collier immediately 

 proceeded on board the Princess Alice, and the Duchess 

 of Kent and her attendants were landed from the barge 

 of the William and Mary yacht. Her Royal Highness 

 proceeded direct to the Paddington terminus of the Great 

 Western Railway, and reached Windsor about half- 

 past eight. 



The King of Saxony.— On Sunday the King of 



Saxony, attended by his usual suite, visited Bristol, and 

 proceeded to the Bath Hotel, Clifton. His Majesty, 

 after attending divine service, proceeded to view the 

 beauties of Clifton and St. Vincent's rocks. On Mon- 

 day morning he inspected the 6team.sb.ip Great Britain, 

 on board which his Majesty was received by the Mayor, 

 Captain Claxton, R.N., &c, by whom his Majesty was 

 conducted through every portion of the ship. The King 

 expressed repeatedly his astonishment at her stupendous 

 size, and the massive machinery with which she was 

 fitted. His Majesty then proceeded to Leigh Court, the 

 seat of Mr. P. J. Miles, which has been so often visited 

 by royalty, where he viewed the gallery of paintings, and 

 partook of a dtjeuner. On Monday evening his Ma- 

 jesty left for Beachiey and Tinterne Abbey, on his way to 

 Wales, to view the Dowlais Ironworks, the property of 



Sir J. Guest. _ - ., 



The Revenue. -The returns of the Revenue for the 



year and quarter ending the 5th inst., were published on 

 Saturday. The total income of the year is 50,220,6,8/., 

 The income of the quarter, 13,362,931/. On the year 

 Lre has been an increase of 2,440,336/. The Customs 

 how an increase of 835,349/. ; Excise, 420,073/. ; 

 Stamps, 72,693/. ; Taxes, 6387/. ; Property Tax, 

 1929 666/.; Post Office, 34,000/.; Crown Lands, 

 <>\ 000/ • to which must be added Repayment of Ad- 

 vances, 386,120/., making a total of 3,709,288/. There is 

 a decrease of 1,154,401/. in Miscellaneous (caused chiefly 

 by the absence of the remittances from China, which 

 formerly swelled this item), and in Imprest and other 

 Moneys, 114,551/., making a total decrease of 1,268,952/. 

 which being deducted from the total increase, gives, as 

 above, an increase on the year of 2,440,336/. — On the 

 Quarter, there is a decrease of 276,299/. The increase 

 in the Customs is 312,029/. ; Excise, 85,479/. ; S ta ™PJ»
