THE NATIONAL REGISTER SHOP WINDOWS' DUTY REPORT. The Vert Committee a►pointed to inquire into the Duties on Houses and Windows. so fir as they affect houses of which a shop forms a part, and to report their observations thereupon to the House ; and to whom the several petitions presented to the House in this Session of Parliament, relative to the said ditties, w.re referred, have, pursuant to the order of the Hour, examined the matters to them referred, and agreed to the following report : That it app:ars to your Committee, from the evidence of the ►utveyors of taxes, as well as of the shopkeepers exunined before them, that a very considerable increase of charge falls upon the retail shopkeepers, from the nitwit in which it has been the prsctice to fix the rate able value of their houses in Ramming them to the duty oil inhabited houses. _ _ ()oder the acts now in force for levying this duty, a dwelling house, part of which is converted into a shop, or to which a shop is attached. is liable to an assessment upon the whole value of the tenement. It will be seen, however, Flom the evidence taken before your Comntit tie, that the soldision of the shop, on the converting part of the dwelling-horse so that use. increases its value, in utmost all situations, and in untie more than doubles it ; so that a house, which, if occupied for the purpose of inhaintancv, would be rated at SISI. perannuns, is rated at Sol. in consequence of part of it being occupied fur the purpose Of carrying on the shopkeeper's trade It is therefore quite clear, that she tax upon dwelling-houses acts directly as a Silty tax in these instances. 'llse lion ►ubject to which you► C their attention was the effect produced by the present El:11111e( of rating the lights in shops to the window duty. %Vitae a shop is lighted by a large frame on each side of the door, and a fanlight above the door, or glass in the door, bimetal large she manures for ligh► may be, they are rated at three; where these is but one large frame, and a (loos or fan-light, they are rated at two.— It amwars, however, to your Co e, that if such part of the home as is occupied as a shop, was actually used fur the purpose of iiihabitaney only, the same number of apertures lor the admission of light would be necessary in the saute space: so that the slaikeeper is nut, generally spvaicitig, charged mote to site window duty thou any other oceopier of a house of similar dimen tiMus ; while, by the exceptioit Sit his favour. contained in the act for reatiLating this duly, he is enabled to ob tain mach moire light hoist the Sante her of aver. toles, as lie is re led to It4‘e them of any sire, pro vided they contain one frank" only. Your C 1111 l Untlee having slated what they conceive to Le a well-founded it d of complaint upon the part of the shopkeepers, wuhregard to the inhabited house duty, Ormolu it light to iuyitire into the probable di: ll ill ution of tin. retenttr• w this particular branch, if houses having shops attached to them should be assessed at their value as dwelling houses merely. They base not, however, been able to obtain any thing I.ke an accurate estimate upon this point; a calculation of the loss, in case such parts of houses as are occupied as shops n sere rxeatiptell tronadiny entirely, waseelivered to your Cominntee by the Secretary of she Assessed ''axes, stating that loss at idiom 160.0001. per annum. n a l as y our C wool ittee do not contemplate the necessity of an entire reeitiptioll f duty of those parts of houses, such a calculation dots tun site the nectssary ✓lote 30, 181 9.

It is said the New Constitution of the Prussian States has been laid before the King, for his examination -and approbation. We copy from the German papers an article of a satistitctory description, dated Stockholm, June 14 :- Srociotonst. .TUNE 14.—liefore the departure of the Kirg for Saints, the negotiations respecting the Norwegian debt to I)ennisrk, which have been so long carrying un, were amicably concluded by the mediation of Great Britain. Lord Strangthrd carried on the negotiatioas with one Government, ut the name of his own Court and that of !len:nark. This elf ir, the tenpins tion of which the King always had so much at heart, would doubtless. have been Ling since arranged, had not some of the means proposed led to lung and intricate discussions. Now, as we hear, every thin. , is setiled in a way sati•fartory to all parties ; a result winch is wholly to be attributes' to the spirit of Justice, sincerity. and moderation, which prevailed hi the negotiations between the Swedish Cabinet and Lord Strangthrth The many strange articles which have appeared of late in many threign journal , . especially the French. and which arc too absurd us merit refutation, originate entirely in imperfect knowledge of the true siateuf this affair. . _ . . . 1 r the project tit the liquidation of die Norwegian debt should also be accepted on the pert of Denmark. hi, Alajetj uor King. witi: die generosity winch has alraidy induced him to make so many personal sacrificsas, and with hini his august son, renounce tier 10 yeas. the sums of 64,000 and 32,0•0 specie dollars, which were assigned by the Storthing fur their !toward'', and apply thi:se owns towards the liquidation of the debt, which is to ih:Araw tluaily diacharzed by arausd .paymet.t.s. e th he
