(PrAn the DsOy Nemo.) Oar the score of the repeal of the window tax we feel quite at ease. It is repealed. The CHANCF.LLOR of the EXCHEQUER is quite delighted with the vio knee of the assaults to compel him to follow his own inclinations. The pressure did at one time, it is true, become a little overpowering. When the metropolitan delegates and their members thronpel into his chamber of audience, and insisted upon his listening to " more lust words" he being anxious to join his colleagues at the council board, he did feel like the apprentice magi, clan, who evoked more sprites than he wished, and forgot the spell-word by which he was to dismiss; them. But the momentary vexation over, he fbrgave the excess of seal for the cause: he felt he could now tell the House of Com mons—recalitary protectioiiists inclusive—with a safe conscience, that the demand for the abolition of the window tax was irresistible. We are heartily glad of this ; fur it is an on 'speakable nuisance that same window tax. It dis figures our architecture ; it excludes light from our houses, making their inmates wax wan and sickly, us the plants that grow in mines, where the sun s rya never penetrate ; it impedes ventilation, and La porte double virulence to contagion. Its pressure, too, is most inequitable. It is a tax the rates of which are in an inverse ratio to the means of the payers. It is more than the poor man OM beer, while the rich man escapes from it with comparative impunity. Still, though the agitators for the repeal of the window tax have the CuANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER on their side, we can hardly advise them to disband or rest irem their active vigilance. The idea of a house tax as a substitute for the window tax is an unpalat able ingredient in that dainty dish, the forthcoming budget. Are we never to have a kind act from the CHANCELLOR of the Exeitt:Quat without a cuff at the same time to prevent our enjoying it too much ? Itepealing the window-tax and imposing the house-tax in one breath, he will. as it were, put money into our pockets with one hand and take it out again with the other. His window-tax repeal will be a mere mai tariTvasure, no remission of taxation. The aggregate annual return from window duties' is about 1,700,000/. Why not give the people this gm without any shabby deduction? Why . not do the thing handsomely for once ? The remission will net benefit a narrow class interest; it will be felt by almost every man or family who have a house over their heads. It will benefit those most whose limited means nuike it most difficult to meet the calls of the tax-gatherer without curtailing their other expenditure. And the CHANCELLOR can afford to do the thing handsomely. 'The surplus is sonic three millions, and the return from the window-tax is less than two millions. It is good policy, no doubt, in a minister, when he sets himself to repeal taxes, to let as many have a share in the remission as possible. This is the plea on which the contemplated house tax is vindicated. I give up, says the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, some million and a half of win dow duty; but I will take back part of this in the shape of a house tax, that I may have some of my surplus left to give to others. hut this policy inay . be carried too fur; if you try to divide .your lost among too many, you run the risk of giving each only enough to tantalise him. Besides the unecr• tainty whether the house tax discount from the win dow tax gilt may nut be be usurious as almost en tirely to absorb it. After giving up the window tax the CitAxext.Loo of the Exeitt:uutai will still have about 1,309,000/. to dispose of. This he can easily apply in a way that will make it go much further. There are duties on articles universally in use, which were their rates diminished would, by the increased consumption this would lead to, positively augment the aggregate re turns from them. We can give the CHANCELLOR of the Exetwaugg plenty of this kind to pick and choose upon. There us tea, the duty on which is positively cent. per cent. on the natural price of the kinds in common use. There is tobacco, emphati cally the poor Males luxury. There is malt, the duty CM which is so high that a very profitable smuggling trado has grown up in it. It its notorious that a large proportion of ground malt may be mixed up with burley meal, and yet the appearance of the article remain perfectly unsuspicious. Nay, more, we have heard of well-authenticated MACS in which unmixed ground malt has passed the customs ns bar- Icy-meal. A reduction in the rates of malt duty would put an end to these nefarious practices, and increase the consumption to an extent that would moon• than make up the reduction to the exchequer. Then there are the 'Wks on foreign timber, to which, since the repeal of the navigation law, our ship builders and the shipping interest in general have so valid a claim. In these and similar cases the CHAN CELIAM might prune the rates of duty boldly, looking to his 1,300,0‘,0/. as a mere guarantee fund against accidental and temporary causes that might retard the increase of consumption. Were we allowed to choose upon which of these taxes the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER should go to work immediately, our voice would be given, un hesitatingly, fur tea and timber. We have all possible respect for the Sublime tobacco, which from east to wrst Cheers the tar's lid.urs and the Turkruan's rest ; bat we must admit that it is neither so elegant nor so utterly inimxious a narcotic as tea. And with respect to molt, albeit our tastes do more incline to a a draught of brown stout than a cup of "scandal water, as the prejudiced of last century used to cull tea, we confess that a larger guarantee fund than the repeal of the window tax will leave at Sir Cu MIAS oon's disposal would be advisable when dealing with it. But tea and timber are safe articles to ex periment upon, and have peculiar claims to an early remission. It is only necessary to glance at the table in I.ll.Cumoetea Dictionary of Commerce, which shows the progresaive increase of the annual consumption of tea in the United Kingdom, in order to be con vinced that every diminution in the amount of duty has been followed by a rapid and marked augmenta tion of consumption. And it is only necessary to in quire among the tea-dealers who have for customers the artisans and lalwurers of our manufacturing dis tricts, to be convinced that the actual consumption of tea is at this moment less than half what it might be, but for the high price paid in consequence of the duty. The duty on tea might be reduced to Is. per lb. without any diminution of its aggregate yield. And let it be kept in rabid, that the check upon the use of tea, which is a consequence of the high duty, imposes almost insuperable difficulties in the way of obtaining return cargoes from China, and thus be numbs and depresses our trade with that country. As for timber, the duty on sawn and split wood from British possessions is 2s. Ild. per load; on fo reign, 1/. The duty on wood not sawn or split, from British possessions, is Is. 0-141. per load ; on forei;rn, 15s. The duty on staves from British possessions is 2s. 1 1-sd. ; on foreign, 18s. These protec tive duties, and the much more unequal ones which preceded them, have done incalculable mischief to our North American possessions: they have discouraged the progress of clearing and settled industry, and they have held out a premium on the gambling pursuit of lumbering. Upon the shipbuilder and shipping interest they press most unfairly. Every article employed in ;hip-building,' except timber, can be had cheaper and of better quality in this country than in any other. Labour, too, is cheaper than in America. Were the best jollities of timber to be had here at a reasonable prbe, an immense impetus would be given to our eanying trade and to ship-building for export, if we mar use the phrase. In 1850 we imported from British possessions 467,730 loads of sawn, and 823.000 loads of unsawn timber. In the same year we imported from foreign countries 387,316 loads of sawn, and 273,992 of unsawn timber ; yet, if any thing,therosts of freight and ratesof insurance on the foreign are less than on the colonial, and the prices at the shipping ports (quality being taken into account) much the same. The reason of the very different amounts imported is obvious. On the 461,730 loads of sawn timber imported from British possessions 49,747/. of duty were paid, and on the 623,000 of un sawn timber, 32,7921. On the 367,315 loads of foreign timber imported, on the contrary, 366,9111. of duty were paid; and on the 273,922 of unsawn timber, 205,4411. The total revenue derived from doable in 1850 was only 632,923/, a sum with which an guarantee fund left in the hands of the CHA.V. mum at the Excniouss after the repeal ofthe win emitimwould enable him to deal with in perfeetadety.

Mr. Philip Frith, the testator in the ranee, by his will bequeathed the residue of his property to trustees for the following purpose, viz., for opening new schools, subscrib ing to those audy . opened in England, Ireland, Scotland, or elsewhere ; and in purchasing land to let out to the poor at a low rent, anti the rent to he applied to any benevolent purpose the trustees might think fit. The questions princi pally argued were, lot, whether the last of these purposes' was within the Nlortmain Act, it being contended that, as , the testator contemplated not only England in the benefits intended to be conferred by his will, the land might be bought in Scotland; 2nd, whether, so a. not to violate the Mortinain Act, if it were within the Mortmsin Act, the trustees might not in their discretion apply the whole pro perty bequeathed to the other purposes mentioned by the testator; and, lastly, whether, if both the above questions were answered iu the negative, the purposes were to be considered as two or three, and in what proportion the be quest might ho applied to them. I The Vice-Chan*llor said the first question was, whether the testator gave a discretion as to the apportionment of the fund among the charitable purposes designated by him, or as to the cvelusion of any one of them from the gift. Now,there was nothing from which the court could imply an intention to give such a discretion, and there was an implication to the contrary, from the express words conferring a discre tion as to the application of the rents of the land to he let Ito the poor. 'I here being no discretion, the fund must be equally divided among the objects pointed out by the tes tator, and then arose the question whether it was divisible into two or into three equal parts. On the whole his Honour's opinion was, that the two first mentioned pur poses, which, at first sight might appear several, were I really one, namely the one general purpose of charitable education. The division being therefore into two parts, that portion of the fund which was given for education would be applied to that purpose, as not being contrary to the Mortmain Act. The trust for the purchase of land would fail, as being contrary to that statute, and, therefore, the other moiety of the fund would belong to the next of kin.

This cause was resumed yesterday morning, when the following witnesses were called : George Williams, examined by Mr. Peacock, Q.C. lam clerk in the London Docks for about thirteen years I have' assisted my father in making these returns. This paper was written about the end of 1849. Cross-examined by the Solicitor-General.—The first part of this book is my father's handwriting. It was copied from returns which I received from my father. I will swear that what is entered here in 1818 was then entered in this book. I made the entries in this book in December, 1849. James Davis,exarained by Mr. Macauley, Q.C.—I have been in the Dock Company's employment for 27 or 28 years. I have been employed for the last seven years at the Eastern Dock. There n a place called after my name. It is shout five or six yards square. I frequently see the custom-house officers there. aly duty is to attend to all sorts of Finger scrpings of all descriptions. Some come out of the ship's hold; some are dry, and some very wet, indeed. What drips out of the hogsheads arc called droininge. All the dry scrapings L keep by themselves. I keep them outside until I make live casks of scrapings, when the surveyor used to examine them. I very seldom have anything to do with fetching the things to my corner. They arc brought by dif ferent men; I cannot name anyof them for they were often strangers. I used to wash the sugar, and get the muck and rubbish out of it. I made molasses of it. I cannot say that molasses and wet drainings are the same. That which drips from the casks in the warehouse is wet drainings. We make it thick enough with the black stud'. When I have got ten casks tared I get them examined by the Surveyor of Custom.. I have got nothing to do with them afterwards. The surveyor ex ' amines them both inside and outside. We roll them out sometimes, when we are full in the warehouse. I very seldom put into the wet sugar good enough to go into the dry. The five cooks contain the scrapings from the hold, and the scrapings from the hogsheads, when dry enough. Some might mistake sawdust and sugar together for sugar in my dark place, hut I know better. If the sawdust was very had, I get it out with a little water. Such sugar as that would become part of the wet drainings. I don't re-' member ever having put sugar into the wet drainings that I could put amongst the dry scrapings. I never pat good merchantable sugar into the wet drainings. I remember Mr. Bari,er comiug one day to my corner. There was it cask half full with sugar at my corner. That cask stood there for two or three days, but I did not know what it contained at the time. Ido not know who did bring the cask there. I had not worked any part of the con tents of the cask until Mr. Barber came. There were about fourteen casks standing round, into which I put the draining& Mr. Barber asked me no quee- Clone about that cask.

Ile said—" llolloa, what h ave yuu got there ?" I said— . Scrapings," it looked so dirty, until I took a shovel or two o ff . Moore then went for Mr. Barber. When he came the cask was taken out to the light and shot out. It was drippings from the Buis& sugar. I know the Bulah sugar. It was dirty on the top and one side of it. It was in cakes. When I was asked the question I told how long it stood there. Mr. Wicks was there too. Ile inked rue why I worked that sugar. I said I did not know what sort of sager it was. Mr. Wicks told me to go home, but I met Mr. Bales who told rue to go to my work for the present. It ia not true that 1 or my men carried away two or three casks of the Bulah sugar and tuned it into inoluseve. We took near three casks of sugar scrapings and put it behind Smith's box. It went with all the other dry scrapings. Smith had the management of all the scrapings. I kept two casks in my EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT OP A CLERCVMAIL—A corner for the reception of black stuff.

I had the management of the scrapings until about three years ago. It was given to Smith. There wan no good or merchantable sugar taken to Davis's corner. The five casks were tared by the locker and submitted to the Customs. Only the dry scrap- Wm; were taken to Davis's corner. Water was never to my knowledge mixed with the sugar. That which was taken to Davis; corner was the scrapings of the floors. I say, emphatically, that Davis had no orders whatever to use good merchantable sugar at the corner. I Lad been in the habit of going there when no one was there, and I never detected anything of the kind. It would be impossible that tons of sugar could be used there. There wan no conceal ment or attempt at secretly. Until the changes that bad lately taken place there wan no place where such conveyance was had for the matters done at Davies corner. About four years ago I received 3!. hum the Loudon Docks. We applied fur overtime. It had nothing to do with sweep have done.

As to a sum of 400/., it wan not a gilt by the Nu* to Juhngon, but was lent to him by Mr. Gaup, a former partner. As to Oberton, manager and agent of the branch at Dorking, he was a person earning on business in an ex tensive way u a draper at forking, lic,ring a high the racter, and of repudiated solvency ; and therefor: the bankrupts were justified in having tram:idiom' with him.

Then, as to the transactions of Mr. Nettle w ith his Wne, respecting ' a brewery, Mr. Neale the hankruid had leen possessed of a brewery at Dorking for many years, and in 1830 his son, Thomes Neale, la-came the pun•haser of one-fourth share of the brewery, for whkh he paid. Thus mat ters continued till 1833, when a fresh valuation of the brewery was made and William Neale, another son, joined hi. brother in busimss. The brewery WAS valued at 22,0001., and out of this sum 8,0001. was paid in rash, joint promissory notes being given fur the remaining 14,0001., out of which 4,0001. had been paid shortly before the stoppage.

The scrapings were generally taken into a corner, called Davis's corner. Cross-examined by the Solicitor-General—My employ ment was on the upper floor. I had Won three or four days at Davis's corner.

There never was any of them taken to Davis", corner. There was no good merchantable sugar ever went front any part of my department to Davis's corner. There was no good merchantable sugar ever in the drainings. I have been ut Davis's comer. I never saw any good slicer there, or dry sweep ings mixed with water. I never knew of any sweepings mixed with water. I recollect '2B casks of sugar seized. I know where 97 came fmm. They came ' front the inclined plane. The sugar was in bags, and kept at the inclined plane. Twenty were tilled at different times. That was in the beginning of 1819. They were tilled, that is the twenty, in the month of October, 1849. There was some there la lure I went there. I went there labout August, 1818.

Ronnrny AT A REILVAI7::::4.AfIrn, A person in tho employment of Mr. Jark-un, the etten.ive clothier, at No. 3S, Leadenhalhstrert, was brought before the Lord Mayor. charged with having rohlted his master of 17 shillings. Storey, the officer, said. in consequence of information which I roceived, I watched the premises of the prosecutor and saw the prisoner enme out, and followed him to a colliac•-house in Bkhopsgate-stret t. I watched till he ram out, and then took him into custody, and told him it was for robbing his master of a piece of cloth. When 1 took him to the station-house I told him I apprehended him for stealing 17 shillings, and upon senrchimr him, I found marked silver in his pocket, to the amount of 16 shillings. Ile bud changed one shilling in th e coffee-house, which I did not get. InspeTtor Mitchell.—l marked some silver and gave it to a person, with directions to pnn•base certain articles at Mr. Jackson's warehouse, and my messenger returned to mo with the purchased goods. At the station-house the pri soner, upon being questioned upon the subject of tho money found upon him, said thvt he had taken it becauso he was in distress, and that he intended to replace it. A policeman in coloured clothes, who purehasetl the arti• elc.ut the shop by order of inspictor Mitchell, and )Ir.

I received in 1849. I never said 1 would not exchange my situation a ith any Custom House officer, and that it was not so much the salary as the bonuses. I was senior clerk in 1846. 1 never gave any directions to oblite rate any marks on any of the packages at the docks. Cross-examined by Sir F. Thesigt r—lt was the sampler'a duty to report to me of an excess of cargo, and then we give notice to the merchant and his broker. 1 hail not I visited the inclined plane sufficiently to know the number of bugs of sugar. We commeneed tilling, the beginiiiug of the year, and filled the 20 before October, '49. The course was to till a cask from the inclined plane from time to time. We exported 4 easks of sugar in March, 1849. N 1 hen the 20 casks were filled they were placed in different parts of the warehouse, wherever we could get room for them. We tared them, marking the tare on the cask and entering it in the sweepings book. It is part of my duty to do so. Sir F. Thesiger—Then how comes it to pass that the tares are all entered in this book at the same time? Witness—The tares were entered at different times. These very entries were made from time to time as the casks were tilled. I have no recollection of saying to Mr. Browne that everything was swept clean, on his expressing his sur prise at the quantity of sweepings. 1 have no recollection of going round with Mr. Browne or any other customs officer. I don't remember any Custom-house officer exa mining the four casks in 1849. We commenced tilling the eightcasks last March. I had heard that the customs were coining for a length of time. I think the casks were filling for three or four days. I will swear it was more than one day. I cannot swear how much mere than one day it occu pied. I know it was more than one day. The two boxes filled the eighth cask. I suplsne it was nine or ten hun dredweight. It was Havannah sugar—a light sugar. Twenty casks were weighed at one time ' and the eight at another. The twenty casks were weighed on or about the With of October, IMO ; and the eight were weighed just before the seizure in March, 1850. I never knew of a pack age of sugar missing to be accounted for by the Duck Com poly. Be-examined by Sir F. telly—l had directions to pack the sweepings, and that has led to the packing of the eight casks. In the instances in which we have not found the missing bag the company had to pay for it. The risks were sent for to the cooper's when wanted, and tared. There was no view of concealment of any of these casks. By the jury—There were nu marks of any kind to iden tify the owner of the two boxes. Mr. William Hearne examined by Mr. Maeauley, Q.C.— This book is in my own writing, and under my entire con trol. The whole of this entry was made at the some time—the tares and the weights. It is my duty to see that the tares are correctly marked, and I have no other mark or memorandum at the time ex cept that marked on the cask. We have reached as many as 284,000 bags of sugar in one year. The witless explained the sources from which the 28 casks of sugar came. The inclined plane is perfectly open to the observa tion of custom-house officers. The casks had been filled at various intervals. The four casks was not all the sugar we had when we made the return in 1818. The sugar entered in the 28 casks was partly the accumulation of 1846 to 1849. There was no hiding or concealment whatever about the casks before the seizure. The eustom-house officers must have seen them from time to time. The eight casks were all filled one day, weighed the next, and the seizure was made on the 16th of March last. They were weighed on the 9th. The seven were filled with the same descrip tion of sugar as the 20. The taro of the Bth cask was worked on as the others. I never heard of Robins' laboratory. I never heard such a phrase. There was no place where Rubins was allowed to fill up deficiencies of sugar. I never sanctioned the oblite ration of marks on packages. I never myself did or sanc tioned any one else abstracting excesses from the wiale. The mate of an Antwerp vessel never made any complaint to me about the loss of ten bags of Manilla sugar. The 27 casks contained none of that sugar. I never sent, or authorised to be sent, any sugar from the inclined plane to Davis's corner, 1 sent no sugar at all to Davis's corner. Good sugar was never sent from any place over which I had control to Davis's corner. The cross-examination was reserved until to-morrow. It being then after 5 o'clock, the court adjourned. The prosecutor said that he did not wish to prosecute the MM. any further on account of the respectability of the family of the prisoner. The Lord ?day-or—How long has the prisoner been in your employment, and what wages have you paid him ? Mr. Jackson—lie has hes n with me about two years, and I have paid him thirty-six shillings a week. The Lord Mayor—l cannot dispose of such a case without sending it to the Central Criminal Court on your account as well as on account cif the piddle. I know that you havo a great number of persons in you: establishment, • and that you may be subjected to morn: plunder if I allow this mutter to pass upon a mere examination befinv me, and I ant obliged, for the sake of the public, to send many cases of a leas :tgarieratill nature Grc trial.

IMPORTATION OF IRISH DE , TITUTION.—In the coons of the afternoon a number of poor miserable-looking Irish men, women, and children. applied to the magistrate for assistance, stating that they were in a starving condition; that they had applied to the parish authorities fur relief, but they sent them away without food. The/ informedthe magistrate that they were brought from Cork to Liverpool in steamers for a shilling a head, and landed without a farthing in their pockets; that not being able to obtain employment at the lam r place, they had walked up to London, hoping to dad something to do to enable them to support themselves Had families. They were, however, dis. appointed, and wen• now starving. On inquiry it appeared that the applicants had all been relieved on the previous day. Mr. Bingham Add it was a great pity that a stopewas not put to that inhuman practice of importing such poor creatures in droves to this country wi hoot the means of obtaining subsistence. They were no doubt sent to get the burden off the shoulders of those who by law arc bound to support them, and place it ou those in this country, who were heavily taxed to support their own poor. It was, indeed, imposing a very• heavy tax OM the parishioners of Southwark by compelling them to pass all the poor creatures who earn* into their parish fur relief, and he thought that the owners of the vessels who brought them over ought to he forced to take the burden off the rate payers hero by conveying them from whence they came at a shilling a head, for which sum they brought them over. Mr. Casluke informed his wurshipthat it cost the parishes nearly 2/. a head to pass them over to Ireland, besides keep- Mg liar several days. THE SAILORS' STRIKE sr ILL CoNTlletwi AT SUN DZILLAND, although a number of vessels in the coasting trade, as well as fur Mreign ports, have sailed during the week. An important meeting of the South Shields treaMell was held on Thursday. The object of tho meeting was to receive u report from the delegates who had waited upon Captain Be they and the Local Marine Board in the morn ing, to receive the answers from the Board of Trade to the seamen's memorial. The answer sent them was similar to that received by the Sunderland seamen. The deputa tion informed the men of the opinion expressed by the Mayor of South Shield+, Thomas Barker, k.sq., and other leading shipowners, of their determination to assist them in procuring a redress of their grievances, by petitioning parliament, de., but at the same time urging them, now that they had entered their protest, to sign articles, and get both foreign and misting vessels to sea before strangers and probably foreigners were brought to the port. The speakers at the meeting took the same view as the ship owners, and so did the majority of the meeting. After a long consultation, it was not thought fair to come to a conclusion until the men belonging to the other ports were consulted ; and after receiving their answers it was determined to corm to a final conclusion on the matter. There has been some slight disturbance in both North and South Shields, occasioned by women mobbing men who have signed articles, but nothing of anyserious consequence. On Tuesday a serious fracas took place at Hull between a large body of sailors and the police of the town. The sailor* bad assembled to prevent the sailing of a vessel called the COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—YESTERDAY. Minstrel, her crew Laving signed articles for wages accord &POl'S Ma.
