The BURTON BREWER:3 have requested me to publish a solemn declaration, which they have made before me in my official capacity, and which they have left in my keeping, in answer to a mischievous charge recently brought against them to the effect that they use Strychnine in the making of their celebrated Bitter Beer. That a charai so absurd should obtain a moment's credence appears surprising to persons on the spot, who know that if ever a manufactured article was free from adulteration, it is this whole some and grateful beverage. In fact, it is well known to every one practically acquainted wi.h the process, and ought to be known to every Chemist, not to mention learned " M.D.s," that nothing could produce the article in perfection but the finest malt and hops and the purest water, combined with the mostsctupulous cleanliness and great skill In the manutacture. The BURTON BREWERS, in adopting this mode of defence,.have been advised by counsel that it is the only legal course open to them, owing to the extreme vagueness of the charge. It would have been more agre ea bl e t o th e m collectively, or to any of m individually, to have met their calumniator in .a court of law, where be would have had ever y f ac ility for rnak ng good his Cha had itrge, ,_ been capable of proof.- As, however, the opport unit y of doing so la hem denied them, they think it due to the public, as w ell as to selves, to repel the calumny in the most solemn form . the law allow s them to employ.

DUBLIN, THURSDAY.--THE WEATHER. -- The long desired change in the weather appears to have taken place. Light rain is now falling, and it is hoped that the remainder of the day, at least, may be rainy. The ground requires a great deal of moisture after the long drought. Pasture has become scarce everywhere. In many districts lambs have died from the want of young grass and fresh water. So far, however, no material damage has. been done, and it a good dash of rain fall now the past season will be regarded as having been most favourable to the country. All the crops—saving only the grass—are considered healthy and strong. There is a great portion of a bog on tire, and has been so for wirrio days past, in the county of Kildare. The KP.per Mountaie, in the county Tipperary, has been on fire for the past seven or eight days. A corre ,iyindent states that the fire was occasioned by :a pea stint throwing a piece of lighted paper with which be oad bees kindling his pipe upon the dry farza with which the mountains tire nearly ooverecl.

INFORMATION FOR ELECTORS.—THE PEERAGE AND LANDED GENTRY.—At the present moment, when the country is intently occupied with electioneering matters, the appearance of the new editions for 1852 of Mr. Burke's " Peerage and Bsronetage" and " History of the Landed Gentry" must be considered most opportune by all who desire information as to the family history and connexions, public services and territorial intereWs, &c., of the individuals who form the class of our gentry eligible to serve in Parlia ment. " The ' Peerage and the Landed Gentry' of Mr. Burka" (as the Athenaum justly observes) " are two works of public utility—constantly referred to by all classes of society, and rarely opened without being found to supply the information sought. They are accessions of value to our books of reference, and few who pyrite or talk much about English Pees and English Landed Gentry can well be looked on as safe a t.tiortties without a knowledge of the contents of Mr. Burke's careful compilations."

The circulation of our .contemporaries rises and fulls under the same conditions as to taxation; new journals have beaten old ones even since " taxes 01- nowledge" wiqe-ehnuilly discussed; serials have in ace, .nd are still making, the fortunetoof their authors an üblishers; aud, to crown all, every good servant with good characer can get a. goo d place, notwith ttending the irresistible influences which were last deht imagined against in The greater part of Mr. shiner Gibson's speech, and nearly all that was new in ,t, was devoted to the duty on Paper; which, unfortu (lately, is So productive that its repeal is almost a hope less affair. Oa the testimony of some well-known pub lishers, this duty was described es Partictilarly injurious and indeed fatal to the - cheap and instructive class of serials. It is said that they only pay by gaining sub scribers as they proceed, through the increasing appre ciation of their merits, and by the consequent sale of their back numbers; but, as the back numbers will-not be disposed of till many-months or years after the date of their publication, it follows that a good deal of capital must be sunk for that period in the shape of paper duty. Perhaps we are hardly fair judges of such a speculation, but, as it appears to us, it can never fail to be ha zardous under the most favourable circumstance. The +mast casual glance at the book -stalls reveals the fact that serials don't keep, and it can only be a limited class of . very enthusiastic, probably youthtul subscribers, w ho are so pl ease d w i th To. 50 that they order the Whole series from the. be einning. There is a general cemplaint 'in the trade hat cheapness is carried too far in these publications, ,hat is, at the risk and inconvenience of others ; nay, it was stated the other day at a meeting of publishers hat several of the class have lately determined to have eothing to do with Cheat; serials. We wish, too, that we could persuade ourselves that the saving to arise from the remission of the piper , duty would naturally and directly be added to the remuneration 'of authors. Phis seems to us a gratuitous supposition, as there would still remain the same inducement as now to cut down all the costs to the lowest possible scale, not only in the spirit of rivalry, but for thesake of profit. One of the most singular and lamentable.festares of American so eiety is the very low scale of remuneration, even for the highest literary services, c ompared with the profits of all other occupations ; and, whether with rea son or not, that is abscribed to the extreme cheapness of allkinds of literature. It is, in fact, so cheap and abun eant as to swamp real merit and vulgarize the taste of ~he public. We have made these remarks upon serials because they occupy the chief place in Mr. M. Gibson'a catalogue of grievances. As to the inconvenience of the Excise in the process of manufacture, and the neces sity, under existing circumstances, of first drying paper for the Exciseman's scales, and then wetting it for the press, that is an undeniable nuisance; though, we are sorry to say, only one Excht nuisance out of a legion. We find ourselves occe more the object of allusion, with a running inuendo that we have an in terest in maintaining the taxes op, knowledge. Oa se veral former occasions it has beea shown in these co lames that, as the remission of the paper duty would constitute only a small fraction of a penny in the price of each paper, it could not be deducted from the price, and must fall to the proprietors. Of course, we could not object to that. As for the duty on the advertise ments, there can only,be one opinion on its gross int qualtty. We feel it so strongly that for servants wan ting places we charge on a very unprofitable scale. But, after all, they contribute only a small portion of our ad• vereisements. In round numbers, there were yesterday about twelve hundred advertisements in our paper, and of these about two hundred were for servants wanting places. The advertisement; duty for the day amouaten to 90/ , of which 15/, or not more than 17 per cent. of i,he whole, was paid fur the class of edvertisements which is very naturally felt to deserve consideration. It is not our interest that this class should increase to the exclusion of . a more profitable kind; and, if the duty shold be taken off, and our office should be more thronged than ever with servants wanting places, it is not improbable that we should find it necessary to keep up the charge to nearly its present scale. As to the other classes of advertisements, the duty in ge neral forms but a small portion of the cost. We have no interest in the maintenance of this duty, and, con sidering the infinite variety of other ways in which people can advertise their commodities, their professions, their books, and themselves, at no other cost than the clogging of our thoroughfares, the defacement of our walls, and the general annoyance of the public, we can not but think the newspapers are rather hardly used. There remains the stamp duty. Here, too, we can have no possible interest, except to be emancipated from much cost and trouble. We heppen, indeed, to be special sufferers, being the only paper that almost invariably publishes a supplement. The more we give our readers for their money the more we are taxed, and the duty thus operates as an express discouragement to enterprise. Mr. Milner Gibson, by the by, tides not state with per fect accuracy the evidence. given before the Committee as to the effect of this duty on our eirenlation. It is not the stamp on the fast sheet, charged 5d., but the stamp on the second sheet, given gratis, which destroys the profit of oar paper after a certain circulation, and thus operates to the injury of the advertiser arid purchaser— in fact, of the public at large, A .43 to the general question of the stamp duty, en behalf a the whole metropoli tan press, we only ask to be fairly dealt with. Mr. Ewert sufficiently indicates the efftct of substituting a post age for a stamp duty, when he recommends the localization of the press. At present the London papers and their more ambitious provincial competitors start fair, being equally weighted, with the penny stamp. While, therefore, the country papers appropriate our Parliamentary, legal, commercial, and foreign intelli gence, and such other costly matter, with the utmost dispwch, and without so much as thataks, there still ex ists a Loge class of country readers who prefer the Times at sd. to any provincial paper at that price. But, if they have to pay sd. or 514. for the Times by post, and only for some provincial reproduction of its con tents delivered at their door by a running messenger, they may possibly prefer the cheap mad piratical sub stitute. We trust that this is not to be recommended on the principle of f ree trade; for, i n fact, it will be no thing but a protected robber our own part, we thine . buty. -Por 6fair pla never asked for %IV; we have never rec eived more than fair play; and WO never wish for at there are two more. the" DAILY NEWS. —Last night Attorney -General which binds proved, during the debate literature,on Mr. Milner Gibson's honour gentlemen to fulfil their promisee and to respect their maaor!isonorfehspoenootuinrgintaxve jsgoune:t.heh pledges, and the honour peculiar to revenue boards d an law officers, which loads them," for the interest of the public," to forswear their most solemn engagements: This is the sort of honour which h at , cl been vouctunf by the Board of Leland R e venue to Mr. Charles Dickens ie reference to his Household Narrative of Current Events. Our readers are aware; that puh. this e .cation is a compact little monthly newspaper, put forth on the faith of a common sense construction of statutes, which exclude froai stamp duty periodicals issued at int ,- r... - , .1.c greater than 26 days between each number. The Board of Inland Revenue, having rashly annihilat e d au o b scure provincial monthly journal .of a simil ar cha racter, wore obliged, in self-justification, to follow up one wrong by of another. Although afterwards examined before the Select 0 : —oranuttee on newspaper stam p e , owned that th e y c o uld not t e ll—f rom the contusion and contradictioulof the law--.what a stm. btg , tutable newspaper.is or is rif)te!-8 boa rd toe upon itself to decide that the Heusehota, Narrative of Current Events is liable to be eteinP4Lbut its proprietor, Ung stronger in parse than the unfortunate provincial, re sisted this dEci3ion, uni a seaciai case was agreed upon and referred to the Court of Esch'2quer. After an elabo rate argument before four of t 4 Barons, three of them decided in favour of Mr. Charles Dickens; the fourth supporting, upon parcely technieal grounds, the affirma tion of the Stamp.office. I. cel yi be necessary to explain to non-legal readers that s Weill case is SjUI P I Y a state ment of facts agreed upon by the parties on both sides, which is to .Lorm the basis of an arbitration —not to a single referee, as in ordinary.. cases—but to a bench of judges; these facts being e rgasd upon by counsel on both sides. B ich party atipulates in all faith and .honour to be bound by the decision; ageinit which, consequently, no appeal can honestly lie. Men of ho nour in private life, whj have. entered into such a com pact abide by it, or they cease to be men of honour; but 2' APRIL 23 ) 1852, " their honours" of the Stamp-effice aclinewleOge, it a _ priar2, no such la re. Not litieg, seine their inewheplece, the Attorney-Genera!, satisfied "- with the decitioo, they intend to prosec u te Mr. Dickens further, by coin ' reencing the tit Against that gentlemen de novo, nud everstuelly, hunting hinginto a Court of 'Error. That is to sly, the Board of Inland Rsvenue really—hut nand ually its creature and catspaw the Goveanentct—hefing solemnly agreed to be !salad by the judgment of a mi jority of arbitrators of their own cheesing, break their eneriptement, upon the childish plea that they are "nut satisfied." In the long and dismal annals oflitigaticn, it has, we believe, never occurred that a' worsted party ever was or ever could be satisfied with heing pronounced in , the wrong. Indeed, from a• decision 'so given there is no appeal; but, in order to create an appeal, Mr. - Dicitees must be stretched once more upon the rack—must endure peine forte et dure of the taw. The Attorney-General professes•that such a gross' breach of faith is necessary to set the"stamp question at rest; but what warrant is there that the- question will be indulged with any rest until it is settled in fivour of the plaintiffs? If there be any meriaina in words, or force in agreements, the question is settled; end settled in - favour of -Mr:Dickens so thoroughly, thadthe law al lows of no appeal retire a decision given upon such pro ceedings as those ineffectually taken against the House • hold Narrative; Before Mr. Dickens can be dragged into a Court of- Error a new set of proceedings,' end a acootttl decision against - the Crown must be taken; and what is to prevent the case, should the Court of Error not give satisfaction" to the Beard of Inland Revenue, from being referred to the House of Loris, end dragged through an endless trail of litigation, of which many yeurgser man than MroChariee Dickens will not live to s4e the end ? Throngh such a frightful vista or legal torture the defendant is supported by the comfortable experience that the Crown pays no costs. His great misfertune has been success in the first instance. To have been proved in the right is to be ruintil — Blunders like lies beget one another in geometrical progression. , The first blunder of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue was the parent of all the others. llf they had not put down the Norwich Re former upon what we, in common with three of ! e ar judges of the Court of Exchequer, believe to be au erroneous construction of the law, they would have had no occasion to attack the household Narrative. Nor, having been foiled in that attack, would they attempt to renew it by a disgraceful breach of faith, prompted by a blind obstinacy in wrong. The point at issue is, comprehensively, of no manner of consequence. There are not, and perhap s never will be, twenty publi cations similar to that of Mr. Dickens in the three king doms. Whether they be statutable newspapers or not, makes nothing for or against the stamp abolition c l u es _ tion, The whole affair, therefore, assumes the bad as pect of a petty official rancour. If the law be olicul - e and confused, if it be doubtful whether that which is twenty six days old is news (although printed with what hap pened yesterday), and if such a doubt snit exists in spite of the clear reading of the law by three Ex chequer judges, the honest course to adopt is to have the law made clear and indisputable, either by an en tirely new Act or by an explanatory Act; not to break a solemn bond upon the puerile and dishonourable plea that the decision made in respect of it is not " satisfactory" to the vanquished party. If the deci sioni of three out of four judges be not final (as t was agreed between the parties it should be), no legal power on earth can settle the dispute. This case is not to be narrowed to the bounds of the household Narrative. If a single newspaper proprietor is to be served as Mr. -Charles Dickens is dealt with, whose turn will come next? We must look . to our selves. The French and Austrian press is used not less harshly, but much more openly; it has its brains blown cut in the good old highway-, man fashion. Our press is, it seems, to be gradually Suppressed by the slow poison of protracted law. Let us hope that something will come of Mr. Milnet Gib son's onslaught on the whole system of taxation on literature, of which the Board of Inland Rsvenue are the administrators. The Chancellor of the Exchequer almost seemed to intimate that relief is contemplates from the advertisement duty, which yields so small an amount to the revenue and is so inconsistent and absurd in its operation. After such an avowal, Mr. Gibson could not very gracefully have pressed his motion to a division last night; and he acted prudentiy, in submit ting to an adjournment until Wednesday, the 12th of May, when the whole question must come befere the House, which, by that time, 'will be in possession of the financial plans of our literary Chancellor . of the Ex• chequer. CHRONICLE.—The debate of lest night on Mr. Milner Gibson's motion led, from the nature of the case, to no practical result. It is evidently impossible to an ticipate the Budget by taking the initiative of fiscal propositions out of the hands of the Government. Im prudent politicians who favoured the accession of their opponents to office may take warning from the COTIEO - of Lord Derby's appointment. The official right of bringing forward the Budget is in itself a power worth contending for. Mr. Disraeli can, to a certain extent, determine the financial policy of 'the country, and he bas at least a monopoly of all possible improve ments during the present year. It is not very probable that ho will abolish the excise on paper, end it may be still more unlikely that he will remove the stamp from newspapers; but perhaps he will not reject the . oppor tunity of purchasing support by some popular or plausi ble remission of burdens. It was easy for the Chancellor of the Exchequer to show the inutility of Mr. Gibson's motion, but we can by no means admit that the principles of treeation aro so unsettled as he wishes to represent them. It is true that a Committee is sitting, not, indeed, OA the general question of direct taxation, but on the ex pediency of an income-tax; and it cannot be denied that almost every indirect burden is put forward in turn, as requiring reduction or abolition. Nevertheless, all com petent reasoners are satisfied that the existing taxes on consumption bear a sufficiently large proportion to the general revenue of the country, and that at present they exceed, with few exceptions, the revenue standard, that is, the most profitable rate of assessment. The injustice and inexpediency which are common to nearly all these im posts sufficiently explain the zealous demands of the respective whom:tea of various fiscal redactions. Whether we look to tea, to beer, to wine, or to paper, we find an excessive and impolitic tax; and all that can be alleged in defence of the best of these duties is, that others stand more urgently in need of revision. With out pledging ourselves to the opinion that Mr. Milner Gibson's clients are entitled to preference, we admit that their case is a strong one. Although the description of certain stamp and excise duties as "taxes on knowledge" is unobjectionable as a rhetorical figure, the mere political economist will find it more convenient to re gard thein as burdens on certain kinds of production and consumption. Knowledge is a good thing; but, so long as indirect taxes are imposed, they ranst be levied on good thingt-aor, in other words, on articles which conduce to the enjoyment or benefit of the community. Clow reading is not a more sacred object them cheap eating or drinking. It is desirable that fiscal re gulations should impose as slight a check as possible on any of these blameless occupations; but if the Excise and Customs are to be maintained, financiers can only select the less productive and more oppressive duties for removal. It must be admitted that much may be said in - f twills of choosing the Excise on paper for early abolition. In that case, however, the protective Customs duty on foreign paper ought certainly to be removed at the same time; for it would be every way unreasonable to give the papermakers of this country a monopoly at the very moment when the demand far their products would be greatly increased. There aro many purposes of utility and luxury to which paper might be applied it it were sufficiently cheap; and there can be no doubt that, as in the case of glass, the removal of the duty would multiply the uses to which the commodity is put. There are, however, peculiar considerations ekeluA - vely concerning those kinds of paper which are spoken of as the instruments of knowledge. In one sense, paper is a finished manufacture; bat as regards books, it is a raw material. The duty on paper must be paid before it reaches the printer, who is himself rather a producer than -a consumer. The consequence is, that books which are never required by the general purchaser are taxed, in their material, through the manufacturer of paper. The publisher who sells only 100 c opies of a work out of 1, 000 must , in t he first instance, have paid the duty on the whole number printed—of course at the expense of the purchaser , w h o is thus taxed those copies which he nos not bought , as well as for the (me which he possesses. This hardship arises .rotti oo th o ! speculative nature of the book trad e, and from the to con _ s equent impossibility of adjusting production sutuptien. A brewer pays the ma l t tax hfod h e sells his beer; but he knows exactly the quantitywhwicilhwoinl.l be required. No amount of sagacity, parch of able Messrs.

As It happ ens such a measure would [PRICE SD. be an instalment of "justice to the farmer," yen ( ); as a il readers of country papers know, is by nature an &elver tising animal. The advertisement duty belongs to a class of taxes which has not br.en sufficiently distin guished by economists. All duties tend to check coe eumption ; hut those which haVe a prohibitory effint are the most vexatious. IF a tntnpike deters !ley perente from taking a drive is his gig, the read trustees are none the richer, while the owner of the gig loses the use of his vehicle. Tto •advertisement duty prevents thousands from at , - vertising—greatly to their own inconvenicce, tied without benefit •• to • the revenue. The amount of 160,0001. yielded by this impost represents but a' small part of the loss which it, inflicts on the public.. The maid -servants who advertise for their places are un duly taxed; yet: they have at least the ceasolation, such as it is, of contributing, each her eightempence, to the maintenance of the State and the Monarchy. But the kitchen-maids who cannot afford to advertise suffer a still heavier loss from the existence of the duty—a loss :which is unaccompanied by any gain to the Exchequer. A tax ought, if possible, never to be levied on the per formance of an act which can be omitted at pleasure. There are theorists who praise fiscal systems which leave a •direction to sax-payers; but the .equitable finan cier proceeds on an exactly opposite priuciple. Sound financial arrangements leave no room for caprice fn the tax-psycr, but assesses him, as far as may be, in pro portion to his means. Taxes which favour either im providence or undue stinginess are always 'alike unpro ductive and demoralising ; and it is desirable that the operation of every impost should begin and end with the levy of the par-centage required. A duty such as that on advertisements constently interferes with every pru dential calculation. It is on such grounds as these that the removal of the " taxes on knowledge" will at no distant day be effected. Sentimental arguments may be used for skirmishing and ostentation ; but the true econo►nic bearing of various taxers is what will ulti mately determine the opinion of Parliament. THE FORTHCOMING BUDGET. Mr. Disraeli's Budget is—he tells us—to be laid before the House of Commons this day week. On that day we may hope to lear❑ what plans the Protectionists propose tor satisfying the demands of the country. There is no subject which so much requires the attention of the re presentatives of the people as the revision of our whole system of taxation; and no part of that system is more faulty and more needs amendment, than the portion of it which was to have been brought before the House of Commons last night by Mr. Williams—the annual bestowal by the Government officials of about 7,000,000/. on themselves. - It is,lowever, amongst the many evils of the Protec tionist faction having succeeded in placing Lord Derby in office, that the real business of the nation cannot be attended to, and that our barbarous and costly jumble miscalled a system of taxation, must be allowed to remain uninvestigated an d unreformed for another year. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, whose lively brain is filled with crude finaneial plans, may possibly throw out some suggestions for lessening, on pretence of equalising, the burdens on th e agr i cu l turists; and on some one et' the ninny clap-traps h o h as already announced, ni appeal to the country; but wh a t t h e people want is a th oough revision of all our taxation, w hi c h w il l enable themrfadirlbY fairly to compare its cost with the ser vices i t pays for which the burdens of the State w ill be reduced and dto e ' minimum, and that minimum will be fairly distributed. The people mast be on their guard against Protectionist tricks, and not permit themselves to be seduced by mere financial schemes into a belief that any plan is worthy of support which deviates from the just and righteous objects they desire. The great vice which lies at the bottom of that ap propriation ( f 7,000,0001. is not, as the officials have cunningly represented, the mere stopping 7,000,000/ in its 'transit to the Treasury, instead of sending it thither to be afterwards transmitted to them, but it is the power assumed by the Treasury to expend such a vast sum without first securing the sanction of Par liament. To expend 6,000.0001. or 7,000,000/. on the navy, and as much on the army, the Executive government must present estimates to the House of Commons, and o bt a i n it s consen t to employing and pay ing a certain number of sailors and soldiers; but the Government may appoint any number of Custom-house and Excise officers it pleases, and en them and other officials employed to collect the revenue, it may expend 7,000,0004 a year, without submitting any estimate to the House of Commons. and without rendering it . any account of the manner in which the money is expended. That is the vice of the system, and it is unconstitutional as well as absurd. The only account the Government renders is this— that it is pleased to expend about 1,600,0001. in collect ing 22,000,0001. of Customs duties, about 1,000,0001. in collecting 15,500,0001. of Excite duties; 165,0001. in cal lectiug nearly 7,000,0001. on stamps; 360,0001. in collecting 10,000,0001. of assessed taxes ; 1,200,000/. in collecting by the Post-office about 2,500,0001.; and 325,0004 in collecting less than 500,0001. on Crown lands, besides making draw backs, allowances, &c. According to the Parliamen tary Parer No. 98, Session 1847, the total annual amount of money expended in this way which never reached the Exchequer was 7,004,438/. 11s. 7 2-12 d., so fractionally minute is the Executive Government in in forming the Parliament of the sum it pleases to expend without Parliamentary authority. It is hastily assumed by the confiding Parliament and the too confiding people that it is necessary to expend 51. 15s. 8-14. on every 100/. collected of Customs duties, 51. 73. 1111 on every 1001. of Ex cise duties, 2/. 3s. 71d. on every 100/. of stamps, Si. 3s. Vjel. on every lea of taxes, and 21. 189. 2d. on every 1001 of revenue from the Crown lands —or, in cluding " other payments," which we think ought to be included—to expend 120/ on every 100/. obtained from Crown lands. But there is no other reason for assuming such an expenditure to be necessary except the statement of 'the officials. If the stamps can be collected (and nobody supposes there are not plenty of clerks and other officials in the Stamp-office), at 21. 3s. 7d. per cent., why should the Customs cost 51. 15e. Bii., and the Excise 51. 7s. llid. ? The Go vernment has complete power over its debtors, and it is only a carelessness of what it expends—or a love of expenditure—that can make it expend more than double the sum in collecting 100/ of Customs and Ex cise dilates than in collecting 1001. of stamp duties. Both the chief Customs and all the Excise duties are collected on a few articles in great masses and at a few spots, while the collection of the stamp duties is spread all over the kingdom. Prima facie it might be inferred, therefore, that the two former would be collected at a cheaper rate than the latter. But it has pleased the gentlemen who collect the Customs and Excise to be, dreadfully suspicious of every tax-payer and every tax collector, and of every person who might have a tax to pay, and so they have multiplied guards and checks to prevent an evasion of payment or a collusion to evade payment between their own officers and others, and have introduced a complicated system, which is at once annoying, vexatious, costly, and, as we know fr.)m ex perience, wofully ineffective. Of all th e details ofaros the system the Treasury knows nothing b ut what it lead rns from oev e c r o y m ( i e s s o i n f t ehrest andtheir e other suggestions tio o s s u b t o e r oa d i o n l a t i t ; increase the staff of the estab lishments it haslyo,ffic h c e i a always _ lent a ready ear, because ever y such increase a legreer sum o enabled it to increase its patronage , a nd expenvastsum as 7 it o _ That taxes, rendering no other account t Parliament and the public of wh a t it ex pended_ than " it was th,ooooc,oosotototte collection."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. sin,—la resuming my remarks on the Chester Cup, i t ma y be as well to state, that during the last day or tw o Nancy has received au extraordinary amount of support, and bids fair to become a rival in the odds for the premiership to Stilton, whcso pri ce t hi s morn i ng ranges from 6t o 7 to 1. Turning to my Analysis, TOM TAYLOR'S lot is the next that catches my eye. It consists . of Lady Evelyn, Gladiole, Ellar, and the Jemima filly. The first named, it is said, will represent the stable; and as Nat will probably have the mount, all that can be done for her will be accomplished; but lam afraid it will not enable her to obtain a victory. FOBERT ha Hippolytus and Lucio, neither of which posscoscs any chance of winning. GILL hes Nersharn and Bird on th - 3 Wing. The former ii re ported :icratched, or at bait a declared non•starter. I b here there is some ii;.tle tru - .1 in the rumour; but whether or no matters little, as he possesses no earthly hopes of winning. Bird on the Wing is a line slashing 114, and may possibly run very forward in the rae,.. reported to have left this stable either to be tried with something else, or consequent on a chana cf ownership. _ SAUNDERS' string cornpri3e3 no kss than seven, v:z , Goidfinder, Le Jail, Trieltstr‘ , :ss, Ringleader, The Castle, tinily, tad l'ilrary Ann. Ringlcadcr, I imagine, will be the repre sentative of this stable. I entertain but a small estimate .of his chance, hwvever. The three years old• Sally. ,__t sst. does not. look amiss, but others of her oven ago in the raea will keep her safe. GOODWIN 11 through , rn has Muzician in training for OD event, and has some pteuliarneticrns that he. will be enabled with him. I eantiot subscribe tobac. d short time 6 Op a inions. It is notorious, however, that he was win u twenty thousand siiioo at extremely long D ads to I Pounds. C. MARSON has Old Dan Tucker and Poetess, both bad specs. PRINCE has four of Lord W , L•rl . ord's in training, namely— Due an Dhurras, Kich-up-tho-Dust, Cockcrow, and Redmond O'Hanlon. The aged Due • at ;it may be pulled out in conjunction with Cockcrow or Redmond O'llanlon to fight a good fight for the Marquis's inte rest at Chester. Kick-up -the-Dust will not run. As outsiders the starter or starters from this lot (probably the highest and lowest weights) are well worth .backing. GODDING • - has Retail, who, at 75!., • I; R orth anything, ought to show his goo:I qw.lities here; but I doubt his doing so very much. 8 4 8 3 8 8 8 21 W.

She has been much fancied for this rvait by u certain class, but, if I err not most egregicusly, her weight, rompers tircly with others alder ,ttrn herself, is hot_to her ad vintage. W. J. ANSON . _ Ilse a couplo in Calculator and Bet ogelert; .the farmer has shown that he still possc;.ses his last year's form, hat his stable companion, at Is.t 12th difference for the year, must be the best of the twain, and consequently the starter: PERCY'S lot consists of Vampire, Grand Duke, Constantine, and filly by Ratan. The two last are non-starters. Grand Duke, much tnneied some time ago, at 6st 61b, looks somewhat dangerous, but I calculate it is only a ques tion of looks, nothing more. Old Vampyre, if they can brush him up for this bout, is as dangerous an outsider as anything in the rack- 1 reports, however, say that his appearance at the post is very dubious. ACRE T has Ballet Girl, who I take it will Hot be brought out on this ccession. OSBORN B'S trig is formed by Achyrenthes, hathleen, and Merry Bird; all the interest centres in the /ast-natned, he being the starter. It is said he can beat the Other two at pretty nearly level weights; if so, his chance roust be a first-rats one. SHEPHERD has King of Trumps end the Sally Warfoot colt, Tom 1 - 1 1! by having just seen removed by his owner. The King, I fancy, the starter, if either go from this stable; and although weighted rather heavily, his chance is not altogether extinguished, being just the sort of horse suited to this course. HESSELTINE'S conplo, it was supposed, were good enough to carry Off the Cup with ease; but some very eccentric movements observable among severs,' of the leading betting men of the north would lead . me to infer that Unity, whether she runs or not, has equal chances of winning, Lough Bawn I cannot fanny for ea instant.
