The following letter has been tranam'itted front the Treasury to the Cothinisaioners of Taxer, for the guidance of Surveyors sin commanded by the Lords Commis. simmers of his Majesty's Tresaury to acquaint you, that they have had wader their consideration several represents. liens, selling forth the inconvenieaca and vexation likely to arise from the construction given, its some instances, to the Act of the last Session, fur " Relieving persons compound lug fur their Assessed Taxes from an annual assessment for t►e term of three years." The objects which my Lords had In view in submitting that Act to Parliament, were to afford to parties paying Assessed Taxes an opportunity of reliew. ing themsel►es from the I trouble of assessments and occasional surcharges; to obtain a moderate increase of re. venue by voluntary composition; to encourage the mane. factures used in carriages; soil to extend the employmeut of servants soil occasional labourers. My Lords coastal recur to these important objects, or to the explanations which accompanied the Bill in its progress through Parks. meat, without feeling the strongest desire to facilitate the operation of the Act, by the most liberal construction of its provisions; and if any further declaratory Act shuold be me cesium', my berets will submit the same to the consideration of Pathantest at its earliest meeting. In some case*, however, and those the must mattingl that have been referred to them, my Lords are of opinion that the letter of the Act will justify that construction which on every other ground they are desirous it should receive. The first is that of • person compounding fur his Assessed Tsar., and oho has paid under the assessment of the last year for one or more four-wheeled carriages.—The literal construction of the Act of last Session, coupled with the former Acts relative to Assessed Taxes, wou,td (it has been contented) preclude such person from substituting • two wheeled carriage for • four•wheeled carriage, arid from keep. ing a Iwo-wheeled carriage in addition. My Lords doubt whether even the letter of the Act would justify t►is construction : but they are decidedly of opinion, that it would be contrary to Ike spirit of the Act, and to the explanations given in Parliament daring its progress ; and therefore, they desire that Nos 1 and 2 relating to car riages in schedule I). of 48 George 111. chap. 511, may be considered as one schedule by your assessors, and that they will govern themselves accordingly. My Lords are fully aware that this construction will •uthoriae parties who have kept and paid under the last assersnient for • two-weeled carriage, and who may have given due notice of composition, to keep one ur more with four wheels upon the payment of the composition ; bat they believe that instances of this description will be very rare, sail even in those in stances, all the other important purposes of the Act will have been ail gilled. Another case which my Lords think requires their inter. position, is that of • person •ho has paid under the last as sessments for one or more its of the highest class, and who a &inning of cosnp.suusling for them, either to keep an additional number of such servants or of occasional Ir. boar. era. Under the Act of the last Samsun, my Lords ran have no doubt that all persons so compounding would be at liberty to keep any additional number of servants or labour. ere without further payment than the composition of live pee cent. but this privilege would not exteud to any person whe had not been assessed for one servant of the highest class in the last year. In respect to the composition for horses, it has been Ostia that a person who has paid under the assessment of lest yew for oar or more homes, and fur riding, or drawing any car. nage, would nut be at liberty to keeps pony; my lads eau have no doubt this is a complete misconstruction of the Act, and that any person duly compounding, may keep as many horses or as many ponies for these purposes as he may think fit. The Act as relates to dugs seems in like been misunderstood; and my Lords therefore desire that you will explain to the Surveyors, obit a person who bas paid under the last assessment fur a greyhound, hound, pointer, setting dog, spaniel, hitcher, or terrier, and wbo shall duly compound under the Act of the last SlFllliell, may keep any number of such dogs. My Lords desire that you will immediately transmit copies of this letter to the Surveyor*, anJ that you will lake care that they facilitate the fair . lion of the Act by every means in tbeir power. _ 1 aro, Centimes, your obedient Servant, (Signed) S.

LAW LVTELLIGENeF. COURT OF KINGs BENCH, Goiconnt, SATIJOLDAY. 001111111[111 t 3. SR TAITET AND ANOTHER V. RAPP._ This was an action by the asaigtires of Messrs. from the Latham and Parry, to recover fDefendant a sum of tummy alleged to have been received by 1' for the um of the Isiankrapte estate. Mr. GU RN EY stated the case to the Jury. From the Learned Counsel's statement it appeared, that toe precut question arose out of the transaction brtweru the bankrupt Parry and the prevent De. leinimat, which his already been so fully detailed to the public, both by the proceedings in this Court and in the Court of Chancery. The case related to the advance of monies at different limes Icy the Defendant to Parry, to be employed, as the latter stated, in the purchase of wines, which were to be re-sold for the benefit of the parties. It sp !mimed, that in the coarse of these transactions Mr. Rapp advanced tee Party a sum exceedilig 126,0001. Parrs• rendered loin from time to time accounts of purchases and sales, and had paid loins hack 130.0001. in midst to which Mr. Rapp claimed to prove under Latham and Parry'. commission for a further sum of 9,000/. alleged by him to he due upon the transactions tie question. On the bank ruptcy of Lithium and Parry taking place, and in quiry being set on foot as to these transactions be tween Parry nod Rapp, it appeared that the whole was a faiptcation out the part of Parry, who, want ing money fur other purposes, obtained these sums of Mr. Rapp, amusing him from time to time with accounts of pretended sales sod purchases of wines which never took plaice. The assignees, under these circumstances, opposed Mr. Rapp's proof for the sum alleged by him to be due, and the Lord Chancellor would not suffe► hero to prove. Mr. Rapp three brought his action against the assignees in the Court of King's Bench, anti obtained the opinion of that Court in his favour. Having thus two different opinions, the assignees, to obtain a review of the opinion of the Court of King's Bench, brought the present action to recove► hack from the present Defendant the sum of 4.0001. be ing the amount paid by Parry to him as profits upon these pretended sales of wine, above the sum advanced by him. The facts were admitted on both sides. as proved in the former case of Rapp and De Tastet, with this additional fact admitted, namely, that at the time these transactions were going on, Mr. Rapp was wholly ignorant of the difficulties and embiarrassments under which the house of Latham and Parry were labouring. A special verdict VIVA accordingly taken for the Plain tiffs for 4,2811. subject to a reference, if, on the question coining under the consideration of the Court hereafter, thee Plaintiff's should be considered as entitled to a verdict.

The Inspector Ger.eral of the Irish prisons lately visited a mansion of misery in G.lway, called a " Bridewell," in which he found ten wretched wo men, one of whom wits incarcerated no Ira. than twelve months, another eight months, and the re mainder several weeks, all being in fetters. " What are their crimes ?" said he to the gaoler, naturally enough. The gaoler knew not their crimes; he had no written committals: all he could tell was, that he had verbal directions from a town Magis trate to detain them, and that he detained them accordingly ! The Inspector•Getseral ordered the unhappy wretches to he liberated, and reported their case to Government. Herat[ !ASTER, Esq. the heir to the Rowton Emotes in Shropshire, attained his 21st year on Monday last. That the sentiments of respect and esteem possessed by his late father, the Represetr tative of Shrewsbury. are inherited by his son, was manifested by the universe! testimony on this occs sion. Twelve sheep were carried in procession through the town, amid the clamour of bells one was given by a lady to the poor of the Castle Fore gate; one by Mr. PRITCHARD Bud Mr. Scot.- TOCK (in preference to the useless waste of illumi noting their own shops), to the poor of St. Chad's Alms•houses; one by the spirited landlord of the Hon. W. Htt.t.'s Arms; one by Mr. T. Wm°. !No; one by Mr. Actor ; one by individuals in Doglane, and the others, by a general subscription. The latter were distributed at the following respect able Inns :--Cross Keys, Mirmsid, Old Post-Of flee, Castle and Falcon. Coach and Horses, Seven Stars, &c. At these Inns societies of tradesmen assembled ; and a superior provision was made at the Lion bine where J. WILLIAM, Esy. presided. Some good song" were sung; and the toasts com prehended theorems of the neighbouring families, end the benefactors of the town and county. Many tradesmen illuminated their. houses. The tenantry on the ancient family estates, anxiously testified their respect, by generosity to the poor neighbours. The member of gas lights already in use in the metropolis, amounts to 51,000. The total length of maims in the street; through winch the gas is conveyed from the gas light manufactories into the houses. now measures 988 miles. A report has recently prevailed that the memo rials transmitted to the PRINCE REGENT on behalf of HINZ! STRNT have failed iu producing the ef fect so anxiously desired by his friends, and that little hopes are entertained of his escaping the punishment which the law directs to be inflicted on such offenders. For this report we believe there is no positive euthority : but we understand that it has been deemed expedient to send in further dont. meld; to prove that both the prisoner and his rela tives have lsboured under mental derangement. The result of the deliberations of the Privy Council cannot be known till the report of the Re‘weere and the recommendation of the Jury by whom the case was tried, shell be• commouicistod.— (Observer.)
