Imremera.—Our last overland sanussry was dated the 21st ultimo Os the moraine of the 70 mutton the Bombay ex penes arrived and on the se.h the Haddiscen steamer, with &deices from home to the 2ith Oct. The elausercial intent recce received is cia the whole of the moetsatisfutory charm. ter, and fully hoarsest the previous aecounts,which re presente d every branched our trade to have been in the most healthful pinnies. A tranquil repose eentisned to mark our home politics, and even Ireland was quiet under the cheering influence of increasing abundance, and cheapness of food, and the entire removal of all apprehensions of a de &nearly is the harvest either in the United King. does, se es the Continent. Our relations with the other Reropeen states remained in a radios of perfect harmony, and althou the war between the Danes and the Sehleowig Holsteisen wee still raging, it had had not, as we have all along anticipated, proved a source of interruption is our commorcial intemosne with Our neighbours across the Channel, and exports of manufacture and yarn contented epos a lass seats to Ocr many and other European markets, isclading the Levant Here we have not noticed the ocennesee also; elnumatasee sines the departure of the lest moil, calculated to prodaCe may remarkable change is core market for cotton goods. The weather ha" undergone no alteration for the 1101,10 as regards its influences on the grain crops which are now being reaped in most of the districts In Bengal, and the harvest promises to be • plentiful are. The only trifling drawback to a state of complete proeperity, Ia sedum ;the slight premium that his be.. recently experienced is our monetary system; but we an not aware that direousta in the bum, have risen to any event. The accounts for piece goods from Minm po-e and other great inland marts are still f elite; and, although we are now advancing into what is usually termed our dull season, we have not yet seen any important falling off in the demand; whilst stocks remain its several cases moderate, to others not beyond a sufficiency, and in one or two instances only can they be called heavy. Under these circumstances, red keeping In view the unquestionable certainty of the future supply bolos at higher coots from the great steadi ness in the price of cotton at home, we still think that, by ordinary reeolution on the part of importers, the winter may tie got over without any material decline is the value of our toadies staples. Alt at a week or ten days ago they displayed some eagerness t e realise, in order to take advantage of the favourable exchange in investing the proceeds, and the deslets became eimsewkat reserved, and the feeling for the lower qualities of two or three leading stables became lea mvourable. This, however, was pro:uviv, of no reduc tion in prices, except in one or two instances, and Manne dno hays sine. sostinued upon a fair scale. The butts's" of the whole of lest month was nearly to the same extent u that io October. Grey and white shirting* were taken to an average *mount, but a slight decline. Grey jaw...nets sold largely; but white jaimonets changed hands to nearly the same extent as in the preceding month. White cambric have met with better inquiry. Grey and white madapoluas have also commanded increased &gentian since the due!• tore of last snail. White mulls have been s - ught after with considerable spirit, and the es/es lest month were greatly in excess of these which took place in October. White twills and white figured shirting+ have been dull. Book mush!). have been steadier, and are slightly higher in value. Lappets ot all denunisations have improv, d in &mud and price, found porch...en to a large amount last month. Chintz 's of ail kinds untinue scares and much wanted, particularly neutral sprigs and stripes. Woollens have been selling steadily. Flannels are light of stock, and in good demand. Turkey red goods have been firmly held, and the supply is Liebe. The metal market has been unsteady, and iron of nearly all desetipiace is lower than before. Copper has oleo declined to some extent. Speller, however, is is a somewhat better position. Barosire.—Our market for country produce has con tinued to present the most animated wpm, under the influence of the accounts that have bun received from home for some time, by each succeeding mail, of the progressive advance in the value of most of our leadieg articles of expert. The &deices just received, to the 24th ()cob , r, are of a still more favourable character, as they represent the ex. isteree of a variety of circumstances that have tended greatly to lessen the doubts we had entertained of the stability and continuance of the improvement, that have been going se. We have already stated that the prospect' of the harvest ' and of the abundance and cheapness of toed, were so longer involved in uncatainty, whilst an increase of consumption of col.inial products was eslcuiated upon with confidence from the fact that our operatives is Manchester, and other manufacturing districts wore is active operation, and that money was daily becom ing sore plentiful, and discounts were low. To these pd. wary elements of a prosperous trade, we have to add the deficiency of the supply, which, in the instance of several important staples, was below that of several preceding yet" and would most certainly operate in preventing large genes titles being premed on the market. The traneactions bee however, have been in some measure checked by the de.ndel state of our bazaar, where, with the solitary exeseptkm el saltpetre, the sticks have not only been small, but they have e insisted principally of qualities that have afforded the eye ilathr but a poor field Sro selection, but at this season of the year more abundant supplies could hardly be expected, Had it not been for this circumstance, we should most certainly have seen far more extensive transactions, noteith• standing the high , pima and lbs high rates of exchange and the eomparatiee difficulty of negotiating bills against shipment, uuderdrawn by and upon parties of known rospeciabilit, sod nittetanco. Latterly there has been low inclination to purchase; but this is always the cue when people are in the expectancy of an incoming mail, and are buy with an outgoing one. The interval betweenthe arrival of the Bombay tames, which only brought a few general letters, sad the arrival of the Haddingtoa which had all the private unespoodence of the merchants, has been unusually great on the present occasion —fall thus days, dories which, of cosine, sluppen remained is aospesse. PRODI7OI.-80sir has continued to be an object of great attresties, but in cone quote of a great paucity of supply, ths shimmies last month to Great Britain, show a deficiency N 16,477 Emends as compared with thou in October. 11412WS qualities have bus greatly wasted, but the arrivals lave been so meaty that they have not been able to keep up • 'tech of more Own 6,000 bags mead is the beater for the pest three weeks. The onesequence has been that small parcels of really good Waste have been taken off with imprimis at high prices the mo ment they hays boss placed on the market. Teen has hardly been any of the first quality available ; bat third sod fourth have bee. comparatively more abundant, and have also been taken with much spirit at extreme figures. In this scarcity of Bentres, the attention of shippers have been to a considerable degree directed to Mae, which has commenced arriving ; and to 0 arguety, and some business has teen done in them, but the supply of these has also boss serholly inadequate to the demand. The price of the forme r has advanced about 6 aunts per maund for the better qualities; the latter re. alias much toe same as imforv. Nfir have not heed of any extensive operations i n Ka tie.

The following is the summary of the Oeerland Friend of China of Nov. 28 : " The startling intelligence of the blowing-up, in the Type, of the Portuguese frigate Dona Mafia IL, with upwards of 230 souls on board (of whom only five survive), and the rumour of a massacre of a body of imperial troops by the insurgents in the Kwangtung province, reached us just as we had gone to press with our overland paper of the last month. We have no other event of particular moment to record. The Chinese rebellion is, apparently, subsiding ; u, Biros the massacre, but very little has been heard from the seat of war. The hon. company's steamer Phlegetbon, with Admiral Austen and family on board, got on the rocks below Canton on the 4th inst., whereby three holes were made in her iron hull ; and the vessel set tling in an alarming manner, with the tide running like a sluice, the admiral and the Misses Austen were obliged to retreat to the boats. We near nothing of importance from the nothern provinces." COLONI AL. VAN DIEMEN'S LAND. We are in receipt of papers from Hobart Town to the sth of October. Li the Tasniani in of the 4th of October we find the following intimation : BRZAOR OP FAITH ON TRIS PART OP EARL GRIT.— Loather prison ship nu stritsj, and reflects its unhallowed shadow on the fair waters of the Derwent. But this is nothing. Coming *vents are asid to cast their shadows before them ;" and at is only th• forerunner of many others which arealready on their way to this ill-fated land. How long shall Engler:es minister, like a second Judas Iscariot, be allowed to inspire coobdenos monad her colonial com munities, only to betray their best interests 1 Nations Ilk, men some to maturity, and decay; and the tingle fact that Bortl+nd is the solo nation upon earth that cannot coerce her own criminals, is a sad proof that the sun of her supre nasty is h.t declining in the horizon. PROTIST AGAINST CONTICTS.—The following protest we. sent through the Colonial Secretary to his Excellency, on arrival of :be convict ship, Nile, yesterday :—" Hobotton, October 3, 11350.—Sir : The N de, another ship with convicts under ooze denomination or other, having arrived this COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CANTON, Nov. 26. lieroure.—The eesreity of money, and high rates of it:thanes, have bad the egret of checking an otherwise favourable maiket. In the early part of the month un favourable news from the disturbed districts bad also a pre judicial effect. SHANGHAE, N0v.13. The high rate of exchange bu here induced large sales of imports at low priers, in order to enable negociaton to avail themselves of :the favourable remittance ; and the seareity of ninsey has been a further inducement to dimi , nigh stock in first hands. mernieg het oar harbour, the committee app - ointed at the public meeting, held at the Victoria Theatre, ow the 12th September beg leave respecttully to address your Excel lency on this subject. They deem it their duty to plot, upon record that solemn protest against the reception of these prieoasen, and also against the lamentable breach of laith thus again displayed by the British government towards the colonist. of Van Diemen's Land, who had received through your Excellency the assurance that transportation to this island should cease. The committee are haUy aware that, under such circumstances, they must lock to the general community for support, but, so loyal subjects, they ere desi rous to avoid, it possible, all demoastration which may tend to excite the public mind. As a first step, therefore, the committee transmit this protest to your Excellency, with a request that • copy of it msy be forwarded to the Hight Hon. the Secretary of State for the Colonies, by the Met anon, which ship will sail to morrow evening.-1 have the honour to be, sir, your most obedient servant, F. ILAwnt, Hon. Sea. The following paragraph in the Tasmanian would seem to show that the anti•convict feeling is as strong in New South Wales as in Van Diemen's Land : By the Sydney news we observe that in addition to the emceed-transportation meeting which was held in Sydney, and which was attended by 6,000 people, anti-transportation meetings have been held at all the principal and most popu. lots townships in the colony,including Paramatta, Goulburn, Maitland, &c., all of which had gone off unanimously, and in the very best spirit. We thank our Sydney friends for their sympathy, which was unequivocally expressed by many influential and eloqui nt apelike.. It proves to us that oar efforts ore not unaporeciated, acid that v. e have not toiled la vain in the great and holy cause of moral regeneration. The following paragraph in the Tasmanian ap pears to imply satisfaction with their new constitu tion : By the kindnen of a friend we are enabled to inform oar numerous subscribers that the bill has parsed its third reading in the House of Lords. The only new event worth chro nicling that we notice is, the motion of Lord Lyttleton, reducing the franchise to 101., and which was concurred in by Esrl Grey This is a decided alteration for the better; for, bad the franchise been suffered to remain in statu quo, half Hobart Town would have been deprived of the power of voting. The days of misrule will soon he over now, and the colony relieved from the hungry jackals that have long been preyieg upon its very vitals. AMOY, Nov. 13.

Toe taxes upon t-s, soap, and paper were, to different portions 01 the community, equally diem'''. At the same time, it Ik . as totally impossible that all at once the Chancellor of the Etat veer would he able to grwit so great • remi‘sion of taxation. When he said Mb, he was not one who would used still after having gained the remission of this odious tax. He did mug think he deserved the imt•tatlott of wishing to stand still since ha had been their representative in purl cement (Applause.) A house:tax would be tamest, if, not equally, u injurious u the winaow tax; and if shy question of this kind were raised, he should give it as et.vong an oponeitiou as he should give his support to the repeal of the window dwy. As long as he should have the pleasure and honour of being their representative, he should watch, with the greatest care and attention, a!I those interests which they kid confided to his care. (Applause.) The resolution was then put, and carried unaoiencusly. Atter a few other speeches the meeting separated. FINANCIAL AND PARLIAMENTARY ARFOlthi. Yesterday evening a soiree was held at the Queen's Head, Poultry, attended by the vari.ms local reeretati. a and other officers connected with - the National Parlialnewary and Financial 'Worm lisicciaiian, convened for the recep tion of the annual report. At half-put six Lord DoDLIIT STUART took the cho i r suppmted by T. J. Serie, John Theme's, Thomas M'Enteer, Thomas Gregory Eater, J. Passmere Edwards, Ebe Clarke, J. A.

The CHAIRMAN opened the roccedines by calling ea the vecretary to read the minutes of the previous meeting. Af.erwarde the secretary proceeded to read the report of the council, en abstract of which has already appeared in the Eapren. After the reading of the report, which was received with loud cheers, The CHAIRMAN proceeded to address a few observa tions to the meeting. lie said he was glad to think that neither the subject or the meeting needed any impassioned declamation uu his part. The subject of parliamentary and financial reform had already been thoroughly sifted, and who 'mold say, looking at the state of the country, that there was no nerd for au association lik: the present ? (Hear, hear.) le hen they looked at our enormous expenditure, civil and military, and saw at the same time how the taxes pressed on the inuus'rious population, could any one doubt that financial reform wee imperatively demanded, or that it could not long be delayed ? (Loud cheats.) The demand was now no longer to be found merely among the middle classes, hut amongst the operatives it was made with an int'''. in nee that would do credit to many a statesman. (Hear, hear) They were well ac quainted with the national history, and with what was going on in neighbouring countries, and being so informed, it was not to be expected that they would be long without demand ing their p..litical rights. (Cheers.) But if they wanted taxes to be reduced, if they wanted tne necessary taxation of the country to be raised in a just and equable manner, so as not to press as it did now most upon the poor =m — it they wanted this, if they wanted the taxes to be rendered lets oppressive, it could only be done is, parliamentary reform. (Cheers.) They could not continue with the pre sent mock representation. The suffrage was coitined to a small number. Those who were, like himself, in parlia• went, were called the representatives of the people, but they only represented a portion, and it some cases, he was sorry to say, a single indivi lust. (Shame.) It was time that this should be put an end to, and that intimida tion and bribery, which were now our shame in the eyes of all intelligent foreigners, should be for ever abolished. (Cheers.) There was only one way to make electives per fectly free, and that was the ballot. ( Hear, hear.) Another reform they must have was short parli,ments. (Hear, hear.) Short ace omits made long friends ; as, even in the cue of members most freely elected, they might, in the course of a long tenure of a seat, forget the duties of their stewardship. (Hear, hear.) These matters were among the chief aims of the association, and he believed they would be obtained. (He►r, hear.) It was rumoured that some extension of the franchise was to be conceded next session. but the same rumour was spread last year, and for himself he had very little confidence in its truth. He felt convinced that there was no reason to induce any earnest reformer to relax in his exertions. (Climes ) He was proud to meet there so many delegates all zealous in promoting the good cause. (Cheers.) Such meetings were sure to do good. Communion would increase their enthusiasm and eventing. them to greater deeds than mold ever be achieved in their own closets. They had much reason to be proud of their chairman, Sir J. Waimsley,--(cheere)—who was that even ing addressing a moot important meeting in Hull. lie had never known so untiring a reformer as that bon. gentleman. (Loud cheers.) ii', (Lard D. Stuart) was one of the first men to whom Sir J. shut Walmsley had applied in forming this sesocia ion, and be had been most happy to comply with his request. 0.. e man could do but little, but it every one did all be c lull there would be a good aggregate of work effected. They were determined to go on until they had procured the abolition of every op pressive tea, and until every honest men in the country bad the euffeage. E location should also be their object. They would foster freehold land societies, and also by looking after the registration endeavour to get proper men returned to parliament. The first thing they must look after was the window tax. (Hear, hear.) Meetings were taking place all over the metropolis, and a great one was to be held on Monday next et the Marylebone Workhouse. He had great pleasure in inviting his hearers to attend, and as slat in abolishing a tax which was en offence ■like against jock., against health, and against morality. (Cheers.) It was, in his opinion, a most abominable tax. (Loud cheers.) There were many other taxes requiring reduction, but that could only be done by procuring a re duction of the national expenditure. He had only further to docile' his pleasure in being with them, Cie pride in belonging to them, and his earnest determination to do everything in his power to aid the Times of the association. (Loud chem.) Mr. NICHOLAY moved the flat resolution as follows: .'That this meeting highly approves of the report of the mamma of the National Parliamentary and Fin►ncial Re form Association to its members for 1850, and desires to ex press its most implicit confidence in the president, council, and executive commPte, whose energy, talents, and perse verance in the advocacy of the principles of reform, es well as their judicious management of the affairs of the amociation, justly entitle them to the most cordial thanks of Its members, of this meeting, and el the people at large." He was glad to bear what had been said of the Free- held Land Societies, as he thought them • most admit , able movement. They were bound to thank their noble chairman for his presence that evening. When he (Mr. Nichols?) was young, Lords were looked upon as more than mortal; but now, thanks to the march of intellect, they were, like water, beginning to find their leveL (Omen and laughter.) He had not at one time expected to see a noble lord, an aristocrat, presiding at • meeting of operatives; but strange things had come to pass, and they might have some hope of parliamentary and financial reform. Mr. CARPENTER seconded the resolution. Daring next session parliament would be greatly engrossed with the Papal aggression—(hear, hear)—me that if financial reformers did not keep a tight hand and a watchful eye they would have the session frittered away in mere talk, and nothing done in the way of either reform or retrenchment. (Load cheers.) He congratulated the council on the efforts they had made to assist land societies, and to promote the registration; and he was also happy to find that the repeal of the window tax was to have their powerful support. (Hear.) While they maintained their great principle, which was the basis of all reform, no practical grievance need pass unheeded. They should never let it be said, "This ought y ( c ke es :.l. Le ndtoeonye: Mr. d ri n a e uo t have left d ie m ' t r. t L he a B o l t a h n e c r a n v n i d n o g ne a .: . dressed the meeting. The resolution was put and carried unanimously. Mr. BERLE was celled on to move the next resolution, and was received with loud cheers. He congratulated them on the influence which the opinion of one nation was be ginning to have on the affairs of another, and, as an instance, cited the recent conduct of the Austrian ambassador in America. The noble reply of Mr. Webster would im mortalise that etc semen. (Tremendous cheers.) The conti nental despots were banded to pat down freedom, end were in hops of it, bat that they could not do, nor could they with all their diplomacy put down the French republic. That stood • proud monument of 1849. (Loud cheers.) Theirs (the association) was no isolated battle. They moved in concert with the civilised world, and the question was what figere they would cut in the array. America was not only running breast en with this country, but was constantly asserting her superiority. We had been t►lking for half a century of chancery reform. America sent us the work already done and the workman to carry it out. (Loud cheers.) Our children were teaching us, hut we were terribly elow to learn. He concluded by moving—" That whilst thie meeting heartily concurs in the efforts of ell those, who are at this time actively engaged in various endeavour* to improve the financial condition of the state, and to diminish the fiscal burdens which press most heartily and unequally on the people, they desire to impress upon the public mind the paramount importance of active perseverance in the objects, and zealous co operation in the labours of the national association to effect a fall and radical reform of the whole representative system, as the means by which alone the constitutional rights of alleluia in the community can be effectually secured, the condition of the producing millioas elevated and improved, and the general welfare and prosperity of the nation permanently established." Mr. E. CLARKE seconded the violation, which was also carried unanimously. Thanks were than voted to the chairman and the proceed -, terminated.

Tee following is from the summary of the Bum Loy Tiers of flee. 17: "Sir W. Gomm arrived at Calcutta on the 6th, and was immediately sworn in as Conaneederin-Coiet and Mmuher if Council. It was at first feared that his commiasi,n had bete hitt behind him, and the ceremony was accardiegly delayed—it was afterwards found in the steamer. Sir Charles Napier was by last accounts at Loodhillea ea the 30th: be was said to propose being at Ferosepore, the last nation in the Bengal pre sidency, on tee Sutlej, about the time the official informattoo of the arrival of his succeesor might be 1 inked for, so that be should be enabled to leave the 11.n4a1 presidesey the moment be quitted command.

Should he do so, he wilt meet an oil fellow-sold er, Sr John Grey, is command at the presidency, and rests base a fellow pueenger with another comrade, Sir W. Cotten. A list et the courts-martial held daring Sir C. Napier's administration, on Es ',pan effi:ers end soldiers, shows us that is eighteen months' time forty hie Atkas belonging to the Bengal Army have been brought to trial: fifteen of this have been ca.hiered, six dismissed, or twenty in all removed from the army; seven have lost rank, &au been suspended, two have been honour ably scquiued, and one acquitted. Of the &Adler., reeves have been scilaitted, and eixty-oine sentenced to punishment: of toeye, three have been hanged, and thirteen transported, the rest visited with various grets of puniehment,inainly flogging and imprison ment.—Sir W.

The embark ment at siots :Marsh, in the Bombay line, is being proceeded with : the contracts fur the mat of the line have not as yet been cicsed.— Slr J. leje•blinv has, it is said, in contemplation the erection at d endowment of a foandli' g hospital at his own charge. The munificent knight lately cont.i. bitted I,Stell. to the estabrishment of an obstetric in stitution, in the vicinage of the hospital which bears his name, close by the Grant Medical Col lege,—llls Highness the Ouicisar of Baroda has just appointed a Itesident at Bombay, deeming that by this means his intercourse with genromeut may be more satisfactorily managict than heretofore. Three Primes concerned in two separate murders, both of female?, were on Friday executed. Four liojals (a set of Mahomedatui) convicted of assault Mg and killing three men of • division of their own caste at Stettin' on the I.lth November, have been sentenced to death, and will be executed to-morrow. On the 23rd ultimo, the town of ltlauhnoin was nearly blown up, by the explo sion of two hundred casks of gunpowder, which accidentally caught fire.—Sir 0. Berkeley, Com mander-in-Chief of the Madras Army, reach( d Hydera bad, the capital of the Nizam's domitdone, on the 7th instant. The object of his visit is not known, but can be shrewdly guessed at. The follow ing important paragraph appears in the Madras Spectator, of the 29th ultimo: 'We learn from Hyderabad, that the Resident, acting under instruc tions from Calcutta, has intimated to the Wiz tin, that except the sum due to the Company's Government be paid on the given day, all official inter course between their representative and his High ness must cease straightway. If this menace is seriously meant, we presume that the Su preme Government have readved on acting in the event of default. It seems rather likely, however, that they merely wish, by frightening him, to ensure punctuality on the part of the Nissan Coupled with Sir G. Berkeley's visit, and the movement of troops, it is well calculated to produce such an effect Tim Hon. Captain Carey, lt.N., returned by last steamer, and resumed his appointment as private secretary, ably fiiled during his absence by Captain Henry, who now falls back on his previous appoint ment as aide-de-camp. The intelligence brought by last mail of the sensation caused by the publication of the Pope's Bull took us by surprise. Here christimuity suffers most grievously from the disagreements of its professors: the English and both Scotch churches here, as at home, are split into factions; the catholic church is more divided than any of them; and, as the intending parties each threaten the other with per. ditioo, the natives recommend them to convert each other before they assail heathenism, and to be sgreed as to what they themselves believe before endeavour ing to alter the creeds of others.'

PUBLIC MEETING DT YORK. Oa Tuesday a large meeting of the citizens of York was held at the Ouildbs,l, far the purpose of cotenieriag the propriety of petitioning parliament for a repeal of the window duty. The LORD MAYOR, who presided, having upraised the pleasure he telt in meeting his tellow.eit , sens on this occasion, said he apprehended ...ne could only be one feeling throughout the oouatry In reference to this tax. Very recently parliament had pissed an act for promoting the !seeks of towns. Uaquestionable, good drainage was important in preventing the spread of pestilential effluvia; but did it tollow that whint from beneath we wen endeavouring to improve our physical condition, we should neglect the means of enjoying from above the light of heaven, and the admission of atmo.pheric air into our dwellings? We lead now commenced measures for the prevenuon of disease. Let us, then, carry them out for the 6aettt of the population. Mr. Aid. LEE3dAN submitted the first resolution. He said it appeared to him they approached the diecussioa of this question under exceedingly favourable circunartences, inasmuch as they well knew that the Chancellor of the Exchequer was likely to have a considerable surplus when he came before parliament in the ensuing session. The Chancellor of the Exchequer could not but be now aware of the depth of helms which exists in this country against this particular tar, atter the division which took place in the House of Commons which shoved this tax not only with the reprobation of the people, but of the representatives of the country. When L .rd Duncan brought forward his motion, Isetsession, for the entire repeal of the window duty, our nuance minister had prepared ins estimates, and made the whole of his arrangements for the year; yet such was the feeling of the house upon the questieo, that when Sir Charles Wood walked into the lobby of the house he hid some difficulty in determining whether the ministry would not be in a minority, and, in fact, government, by a severe whipping-in, were only saved by a majority of three. It might, Mercers, be fairly assumed from the: Mecum ,tance that the government itselt would be now ready to look to and deal with the tax in qu ones. (Applause.) It was a tax which does not belong to these times, and it had now arrived at an age at which, in his judgment, it ought to he quietly consigned to " the tomb of all the Copulate." '1 la e tax was commenced in 1696, in the reign ot William 111., and was as °owns to the people upon whore it was then impo , ed as it is now. This tux raises about 1,800.0001. a year, and it would he mil how did he propose that the Chancellor of the Exalt goer should meet the deticiency which the remission of that sum must create ? His answer was, if the Caen celior of the Exchequer has properly wa'ched the spirit of these times, he mast have discovered that the people were determined on a tar greater measure of retrenchment in the public service than had yet taken piece. (Loud Applause.) Th. country was not called upon to show the Chancellor of ' the Exchequer that he had a surplus equal to the sum sought to be remitted. All that the couetry w celled upon to do was to urge upm the Cuancellur of the Exchequer such economy said retrenchment in the various departments of the state as would enable him wholly to repeal this odious tax. (Applause.) He knew it was said there were other area which the Chancellor of the Exchequer would ha called upon to repeal. One man said there woe the tax on paper which ought to he repealed, another said the malt too ought to he repealed, whilst a third argued the mop duties should be remitted. But, met as they were to-ley, as men of Watteau, he would urge this meeting to concentrate its ecergies, and go to the minister with one settled, fixed pur pose, pointing out the effects of this tax upon every one, acd say to him, however he might be pressed by other in terests, " Upon that tax we have placed our finger, and we call upon you to repeal it, as the most odious of the whole." (Applause.) With respect to the operation of this tax gene rally, he held in his hand a document showing the amount paid in twelve of the largest town. in England, end which was as Meows : Liverpool, 23.11661.; Beth, 21,6061 ; Man chester, 20,5751.; 8ritent0n,17,5724.; Birmingham, 14,9861. ; Bristol, 13,2201 ; Clifton (near Bristol), 6061. ; New castle. oth Tyne, 7,8221. ;1, reds, 7,696 f ; Coeltenham, 6,7671. ; Plymouth, 11,9241. ; and Norwich, 6,4651. ; wishing a total of 166,4701 for taxesion for light and sir. But, coming nearer home, what was tne effect of this tax on our own city : He bad been at some pains is ascertaioing the amount which is paid here in window duty, end bound it was OAR a year. They would be able to judge of the t tfect of this tax when he informed them that in the house in which he lived he paid ten per cent. on his rental for window-duty. One of the great evils connected with it was the inequality with which it was levied. He could point out to them instancee of large shops in that parish and various others, in which the greatest inequalities prevail. One of the great objections raised to this tax, and very properly so, is that whereas it establishes a principle which is en odium', so unequal, in a ' financial sense, that persons sat themselves to work in every possible way to evade the imposition of the duty, yet it also ..perates most prejudicially in a sanitary sense. (Applause.) This was perhaps as apparent in this city as in any part of England, and Le was not aware that it was so apparent in any other place as in two of the dis tricts of Yosk, which he would mention. They were aware of how much importance light and air were tor sanitary pur poses in their dwelling., and that in one district (Layer thorpe) during the lest twenty-five or thirty years there had been a large extent of building. He wooled endeavour to show them the effect of this tax in that district. They were aware that until they reached eight windows no payment is required, and therefore the anxiety of a person in new buildings was to keep himself below the operation of this tax. They know the amount of disease which existed in Layerthorpe during the late epidemic, and that the medical men said tile want of drainage and ventilation was that which produced that disease. Let them see whether that was not likely to take place. In the whale of the three united parishes of St. Cuthbert, &a., there were 730 houses. How many, did they think, was the number of these houses that were rated to the window duty ? Out of the whole 740 there were only thirty huusee is the district which pay window duty, houses having in them less than eight windows; and se with other districts. He begged to move the following restitution: "That under the present law!, for the assessing, levying, and collecting the taxes on air and light in England and Scot land, the sum of about 4,4001. per annum is annually . paid by the householders of the cty of York ; th .t in the Judg ment of this meeting such laws are alike unjust, and bear moat heavily and unequally in their pecuniary operations upon tradesmen and others in the industrial ranks of life, interpesine obstacles to the prosecution of those ac tire measures which are so desirable for the requirements of the dwellings and the promotion of the health of the humbler classes, both in this city and throughout Great Britain, and opposed to the general feeling and spirit of the present times ; that for these reasons, this meeting is of opinion that the period has arrived when it becomes the duty of parlis. mutt to undertake the entire and uncnnditicieal repeal of the window duties, and to provide, by measures of retrenchment in the pu'die service for any deficiency in the revenue occa sioned by the abolition of this most obnoxious tax." Mr. W. D HUSBAND seconded the resolution. Mr. J. 0. SMYTH, M.P., rose amidst loud applause, to support the resoluiion. lie said he gladly seized the opportunity which had been afforded to him of supporting the resolution, and at the I into time of expressing to the meeting his eympathy its all that concerned the interests of the citizens of York, and all their local aff ties. He did not hesitate to say that he hoped to he able to follow the same, or nearly the same course, as he had done last year, in favour of a repeal of the window tax. (Applause.) Ile had always fait that the window duty was one of the most unjust and unwise taxes to which the people of this country were called upon to contribute ; partly because it was levied irrespective of the value or rental of the pro perty severed, and fell heavily upon the tradesmen or shopkeepers, according to their respective occupations— partly because the small householder is obliged to deprive himself of the blessings of light and air in order to avoid being taxed, and partly because it tends to di-figure our budding*, and, as the Lord Mayor had very justly obsereed, is inconsistent with every attempt at sanitary improve ment. As closely connected with this subject, he felt he need hardly remind his hearers that the present income and property tax terminated this year, and he suggested that it would be wise to consider whether those imparts should be continued or otherwise. Indeed, the conside ration of this subject of the window tax would require a revision of the whole system of our taxation, and he quite agreed with Mr. Alderman Leeman in hoping that measures would be taken to rectify the inequalities which at present exist, sad to render assistance and relief to those impor ant interests which were now suffering. The LORD MAYOR then put the resolution, and it was carried unadimously. Mr. Ald. EVERS moved " That a petition be presented to parliament, founded on the foregoing resolution, and that the petition to signed by the Lord Mayor on behalf of the mistime." Dr. LAYCOCK seconded the motion. W. M. B. MILNER, Rol., M.P., said it was with greet pleasure that on the present occasion he was able to avail himself of this opportunity to present himself before so jsatiny of his constituent', to aid in supporting this resolutioa, and to discum with them the propriety of petitioning parlia ment to remit a tax the most doieetionable, the most offen sive, and the most intolerable of any which are assessed on the people of this country. (Applause.) It was also grafi. this question last year. They would recollect when this ques- Imof 7 i agt to appear him to to b b e e jaubkl explain nesso w it h h at iel g art ht w i rth rh :orgar a d th to e dna was brought before the Rouse of Commons by Lord Dun ean , the session had considerably advanced, the statements of Dun the Chancellor of the Exchequer had been made, all the arrangements of the financial year had been completed. and the surplus that then existed had been promised. Under these cireumstarces, he did not feel that it would be right or just last year to give his vote in favour of a measure which might have done considerable Injury, or at least might have caused considerable confusion to the financiel accounts of the nation. But new the case was far different: no surplus had been promised. They were met in January, before partite. went has met, and before the Chancellor of the Exchequer has come down with his financial statement, to petition parliament to repeal at once and entirely a tax which is odious in every point of view, and most mischievous to the sanitary condition of the people, and to take ee which a wise government and a benevolent people are anxious to promote in every possible way. (Loud applause.) After the many able addressee they had heard, he did not thiek it was necessary for him to trespan at any lengt on their time. especially when he considered thst h in meetings of this kind, where the representatives of a city or borough are present, it was their duty to listen to the opinions expressed by their constituents, rather than to elver at any length into the subject of the meeting ot wh'ch they were present could not, however, sit dawn wi.hoot stating that he agreed with hie lri,nd, Mr. Leeman as to the necessity which exists of te2' their ener gies being exerted in obtaining the remission e , this tax. r rl
