This, we are convinced, is an under estimate both as to the number of hands (five) and the scale of profits. The first who pays the duty, say of 1001,, charges 1101. to the second, who, in his turn, adds ill fur his profits, and thus receives from the third, 1211. Omitting fractions, the fourth hand must pay 133/., and the fifth 1461, and the con sumer 160/ ; so that for 941.—being 1001., minus 61. for the expenses of collection—the consumer pays no less than 1601.—a heavy price for the pleasing dela tion practised on his unsuspecting innocence. Better far to pay 1001., and that 99/. should go to the nation, than to give 160/., and only to reap the benefit of 94/. Direct taxation is, therefore, at once the most equi table and the most expedient. Sooner or later it must supersede all others. We do not anticipate that it will at once be established; but a step will at least be taken in that direction, and that, will be by an increase of the tax on property to, at least, five per cent., or a shilling in place of 7d. in the pound. Mr. DISRAELI has pledged himself to allow some relief to the com munity. The small addition above referred to, along with the more equitable apportionment of the tax, and the extension of its operation, would at once place six or seven millions at his disposal—a matter of no ordinary importance to a financial Minister of capa city sufficient to distribute a surplus judiciously, and to afford the greatest amount of relief to the suffering classes. DUKE OF WELLINGTON, WITH HIS AUTOGRAPH, AND A FULL ACCOUNT Among the subjects prominently referred to in the Royal Speech, is that of legal Reform. We are told that inquiries are in progress, with a view of bringing into harmony the testamentary jurisdiction of the several Courts, and that bills will be submitted for effecting further improvements in the Administration of the law. This is as it should be. It is conceived in the same spirit as that delivered at the close of last Session, when her MAJESTY emphatically declared that, "Every measure which simplifies the forms, and diminishes the delay and expense of legal pro ceedings, without introducing uncertainty of deci sion, impairing the authority of the Courts, or lower ing the high standard of the Judicial Bench, is a valuable boon conferred upon the community at large." Much has already been accomplished, but much still remains to be done before legal Reformers can rest from their patriotic labours, and sit down contented, with the state of the law, and the administration of justice. We may, however, congratulate them on the auspicious commencement of a Session that promises to be peculiarly rich in measures of Law Re form. Many Members of both branches of the legal profession have been returned to the new Parliament; but we do not on that account dread any obstructions to the progress of amelioration. On the contrary, we believe that it will exercise a material influence in expediting the necessary alterations. Several of these gentlemen have already honourably distinguished themselves, and will, we have no doubt, be desirous of achieving fresh laurels in their new and morelim. portant position, while the others who have, for the first time, appeared in public life, will be anxious to assist in the business for which their professional studies peculiarly qualify them. There is, indeed, a general concurrence of opinion on the necessity for extensive changes. On this point Whig and Tory, Conservative and Radical, are una nimous. All admit the propriety of cleansing the Augean Stables from the filth accumulated during successive centuries. The only differences will be as to the details. These, however, will be easily over come when the efforts of Honourable Gentlemen will be directed solely to the amelioration and not to the rejection of the contemplated measures. A little MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS . CITY, Two o'CLocx The sales of cotton, at Liverpool, yesterday, were as timated at 5,000 bales, of which 500 American were taken on speculation.

The deceased was making a temporary stay at the hotel in the early part of the week, and was found dead in his bed on Wednesday morning. His death, though sudden, appeared to be the result of a decay of nature, as he was 81 years of age. The veteran had served the Crown for 45 years, the larger portion of which time was spent in Canada. THE EARTHQUAKE or TUESDAY.—The shook of earthquake felt in Lancashire and North Wales was, it appears, in some degree experienced in Warwickshire and Worcestershire. On Tuesday morning not a breath of wind was stirring, and the weather still sultry, when a shock or undulation of the ground took place, which awoke the greater part of the inhabitants, and occa sioned much n,risternatiou. Many persons thought that the walls of the houses were collapsing, and hastily got no, dressed themselves, and did not again return to he?. There was a rumbling noise preceding and accompany. kg the shock, but there was no rain or wind at the) time. Two or three vibrations were distinctly felt.

It being certain, for the reasons assigned in The Sun of Tuesday last, that the Income and Property Tax will be renewed, in an improved form, by any Ministry which may be entrusted with the duty of carrying on the Government of the country, we may now consider the probable nature and extent of the modifications that will be submitted for legislative consideration. In the first instance, then, an attempt will, we believe, be made to render the impost more productive, not only by bringing a greater number of persona within its operation, but also by increasing the per tentage payable by each. There is a general tendency of late years in favour of direct taxation. The people can no longer be de ceived by the indirect mode. They cannot now be Persuaded that it is better to have 30s. filched from theirL pockets, than to pay 20s. honestly and fairly to first rat e Exchequer. The late G. R. PORTER (a urn rate authority on such subjects) explains the reasons why the objectionable system was so largely resorte d to in the olden time.

I Pigs, During the present week, the arrivals of English wheat up to our market, coastwise, have been only 2,430 quarters, chiefly from Essex and Kent, and in very middling condition. To-day, the receipts of that grain by land carriage was small : hence, the show of samples was limited. For all kinds we had only a mo derate inquiry ; nevertheless, Monday's prices were supported. For forward delivery, very few transactions took place. The imports of foreign wheat have been confined to 5,370 quarters ; but the show of samples, ex granary, wes good. Several parcels changed hands for eountry consumption ; but the demand was by no means active at late rates. Floating cargoes were hold at very full currencies. The shew of both English and foreign barley being small, that article moved off steadily, and late rates were w ell supported. In the value of malt no change took place. The quantity on offer was limited. There was a alight improvement in the oat trade, owing to the falling off in the supply. In prices ne change was noticed. Beans, peas, and flour sold slowly, at previous quo. tations. Flour 3,160 1 9,080 b 1 Notwithstanding that the supply of beasts on sale to day was very moderate, and in middling condition, the beef trade was in a depressed state, owing to the un favourable state of the weather for slaughtering, and the heaviness in the demand in the dead markets, and Monday's prices were with difficulty supported. The numbers of sheep were on the decrease, yet all breeds ruled heavy, at barely late currencies. We were rather scantily supplied with calves, in which only a limited business was doing, at late rates. The pork trade ruled dull, at our quotations. Mulch cows were selling at from 141. to 181. 103 each, including their smell calf.

HEREFORD, TIIESDAY.I-SOMO sensation has let MI I created here by the apprehension and examinat lot of three men, before the Hereford magistrates of the charge of being concerned in a most dar burglary at Llanover, in the adjoining county of Monmouth. a few nights ago. The names of tla 0 accused are Thomas Murphy, John O'Brien alias ' Arnold and Deanis Higgins. They are charged with having entered Llansabbeth Farm, Llanover, and stolen 201., two pistols, a gold watch, and other articles, the property of Mr. George Window; and also with having assaulted the Rev. John Evans, and beat him with the butt of a pistol. The offence was committed under circumstances of great ' daring. It appears that in the absence of Mr. and Mrs. Window from home, the farm was entered between 6 and 7 o'clock in the evening by kis men, five of whom were armed with bludgeons, and the sixth with a pistol. All had their faces partly concealed by crape or handker. ' chiefs. On the men entering the house, a niece of Mr; Window, who had been left in charge of the premises, sun. ceeded in effecting her escape and reaching the vicarage • She informed the Rev. Mr. Evans that thieves had en. ' tered her uncle's premises, and the reverend gentle. ' man imemediately repaired alone to the farm, whets ho found that the male and female servants d • the establishment had all been made prisoners and planed in the corner of the kitchen, with their • faces to the wall. The robbers immediately seized tbi reverend gentleman and compelled him to keep company with the servants. Soon after Mr. Prince, a neigh ' bouring miller, passing by, looked in, and he too was captured and placed with the other prisoner! 6 In the meantime the cry of " thieves" had bee 3 raised in the village, and three men—a farm set vent, an under-gardener of Sir Benjamin Hall, M.P. e and the village harper—proceeded to the farm, whe they too were captured and compelled to stand in !/ corner of the kitchen with their faces to the will Having ransacked the house, the robbers made off wit their booty, amounting to 201. in gold and silver, tit 11 : the gold watch and pistols already mentioned. 9:1 a! Government having cffered 501. in addition to II rot reward offered by Mr. Window, for the apprehew ) t of the robbers, the country was scoured without efi until Superintendent Payne, of the Herefordshire pol '„ apprehended the prisoner Murphy on a charge passing counterfeit coin, when he found upon his I couple of pistols, which have since been identified 89 those stolen from Mr. Window. Three other o. panions of the prisoner were followed, and as t' entered Hereford, the police seized one of thou' (O'Brien), who immediately drew a loaded pistol, thr it 5 1 " ening to shoot the cfficers if they did not stand b aok i The policemen, Bennett and Hawkins, of the Here FOO: police, seized his arm, and in the scuffle the trigger vts pulled and the cap exploded, but luckly did not ig o ire the charge. The pistol was loaded with powder and I s $ l ." Higgins was subsequently apprehended at a taver a 1° Hereford. A second loaded pistol was found on O'Br a 1 , 11 ; The prisoner O'Brien has since made a confession. 3 1 admits his participation in the burglary, and states th for the last six or seven years ho has been living by t same species of plunder. He says five others assist e him, and that the other prisoners were part of the gat On the day after the robbery, Murphy gave hi 4 `" (O'Brien) 51. 103 . as his share of the booty. Evidee e 0 d having been taken of the capture of the prisoners, el e l were remanded. THE ARCTIC EXI•EDITION.—STROMNEBEI, NOV.( V" ..
