TO THE EDITOR OP TDR-STJITESM 41. Sin,--The Public are Under tasting to vou, for your endeavours to cidl the getteral et: tendon to the iniquitous suggestions in some of the Ministerial Papers, respecting new oppressive Taxes. The idea of a Tax upon Capital is infamous ; re volting to the feelings of Englishmen, and ought tb be scouted with universal etecrasions! not less so, would be any general addition to the Income Tax, upon its present scale; the proposition of your Cor respondent Pot.' ricus is fair and reasonable. If we are fighting for our, property, let those who have the greatest share of it pay in due proportion for its defence ; a man who possesses 20,0001. per annum, while he pays 50001. or one-fourth of his income, does not make an equal sacrifice to him who payi 201. out of 2001 per ann. I have been an industrious Citizen and Liveryman of London for thirty years; prior to this war, I was able to keep my own house for my own family, to see a friend occasionally, and to indulge in a glass of wine; at present I am entirely slaving for the tae-gatherers, obliged to let out to strangers the best part of my. house, relinquish the society of friends, acid can hardly afford myself a glass of ale; and should any additional Taxel,. such as those sugee,tediever be carried into effiet i I most relinquish hawse and home, and throw myself and fahtilyinto •de workhouse! Nor am I singular in this respect,the far greater part of the middling rank are in the same situation—the bow is bent to its ut most stretch, and the smallest additiMial pressure *ill entail ruin and desolation. Continue, Sir, to rouse the public attention till it reaches the ears of our weak and selfish Rulers, with a decided and commanding Voice. Seotembertf. A FRRRII AN OF LONDON.

Mr. Coosr..—This great and popular actor is Row engaged by Messrs. Posen', and Melt esoe, to per. form six nights at the Theatre in Providence, Rhode ! Island, previous to his departure for Eugland. , . (Nees Turk Paper, July 20.) The Commissioners for his Majesty's Land Roes , rue have at length given notice of their intention to ' apply to Parliament next Session for an Act to en. able them to make the new street from Carlton- Imu4 to Portland-place. The street is to be 100 fcet wide, and its middle in a right line from the en'. trance to the Grand hall of Carlton-house to Piave: dilly, *here there is to be a small Circus ; from ' thence it goes north ward into a square on the site of Mary.le-bone.street, Brewerostreet, &c.; it then leads on north-westward to the top of King-street end Swallow.street, and then in a right line to Port- ' land-place. The improvement likewise embraces a street from the east end of Pall-mall to St. Martin's Church,* a square in the King's.mews, the opening of 3cmyn-street at each end, Charles-street into the Ilaymatket, and King-street into St. James's-street. , We congratulate the parishes of St. James and St. Martin on the magnificence of these improvements, and shall hail to see the beautiful structure of St. Martin emanate from its filthy neighbourhood. COTENT-GARDliff THFATHE. The Tragedy of Hamlet was last night performed. Mr. Yousa was.; the hero bf the piece. We are happy, at a peridd when the Tragic Muse is so destitute of votaries, to hail this Gentleman as one eminently fitted to sup port with excellence the first-rate parts in tragedy.— la the soliloquies, he certainly was inferior to Mt. KEMBLE,—the deep, thoughtful, melancholy spirit,l vas not so accurately delineated—but, when the collision with other characters called forth the feelings and energies of his mind, his accurate conception, and the excellence of his voice, placed him, it' net above, at least Inca level, with those who have most successkily sustained the chntacter of Hamlet. The chamber scene, with his mother, Which may justly e considered the most difficult situation in the Plny, t'•ew down repeated plaudits. The comparison be tween the father and uncle, was one of Mr. YOUNGiII happiest efforts. No alteration, since last season, took place in the other characters. The !louse was , well tilled , and received the Tragedy with the most nattering approbation. L I :MostEXTRAORDINAItir CAst .— On Sunday n i g ht I a Gentleman, between ho and 60 years of age, went into a house of a particular description near the Admiralty. Ile bad net been long there when' he died suddenly. fie had with him a smell dog, of the terrier kiwi, who immediately left the room. There was netting found on the Gentle- , 1 man's person to lead to a discovery of his itlen.l City. About twelve o'clock, however, last night, . three interesting young Ladies, of very genteel ap. pearance, between the ages of sixteen and twenty, ; arrived at the house in which the Gentleman died, rcoinpanied by the dog. They came in a chaise , •ont Richmond, where they reside. It appears tat the dog, immediately after the decease of , s master, ran off to Richmond to his master's ruse. As soots as the door was opened, he shed into the apartmettt of the young Ladies, :so were in the act of dressing themselves. lie gat to solicit their attention by whines and cries,: d his eyes turned to the door, as if to invite out. Failing in this, lie became more earnest, ! zed their clothes, and pulled them towards the , r with so much violence, that one of their , Ins was torn. This excited great alarm, and nf the intelligence shewn by the animal, it •5 resolved by the young ladies .to accommodate mselres to the dog, who continued to invite •• :n away. A chaise was accordingly ordered, and the three young ladies took their seats in it. The dog led the way, with his head almost conettutly turned back, and his eyes fixed upon the carriage, until he led them to the house near the Admiralty, where his master died. There they alighted ; but hew great must have been their grief, horror, and to find that the deceased was their father ! 1 ' 6 4 was removed to the F i ord Cochrane Public rouser when an Inquest will sit upon it this day. 2iiiE STATESMII N.
