GREAT FREE TRADE MEETING AT SUNDERLAND. SUNDERLAND, SATURDAY, JAN. 10.—Last night a large and influential meeting of the inhabitants of this town was held in the Polytechnic Hall of the Athenaeum, " to take into consideration the propriety of petitioning Parliament to open the ports throughout the United Kingdom fur the admission (free from duty) of all arti cles of food, and the abolition of every duty at present imposed thereon." The meeting was convened by the 3layor, pursuant to a requisition very numerously and respectably signed, and it was an important demonstra tion of the sentiments of Sunderland on the all -absorbing uestion of the corn-laws. Amongst the gentlemen pre sent we observed Colonel Beckwith, Alderman 1)r. Brown, Alderman Andrew White, Thomas Mounsey, Esq., A. J. Moore, Esq., John Mounsey, Esq., Alder men Cropton and Bowmaker, Ifessrs. Thomas Robson , Mordey, John Hills, Vii. Reed, Thomas Thompson, and several other leading merchants, shipowners, &c.. of the town. It is a fact worthy of notice, that Dr. Brown, Mr. White, late M.P. for the borough, and other gentle men who took a part in the proceedings at this meet ing, did not vote for Colonel Thompson at the late elec tion. The Mayor (Mr. Robert Brown) is one of the largest shipowners in the port, and fills the office of S .cretary and Solicitor to the Shipowners' Society. He is a gentleman of considerable talent, and made his maiden speech this evening in support of free trade. On the motion of Mr. THOMAS ROBSON, the Mayor was called to the chair. The MAYOR observed, that whatever difference of opi ni pn might by possibility prevail among them as to the lestion of the repeal of the cornslaws, there could be (1 • only one opinion as to the propriety of that meeting being held. Whether they considered the great politi cal importance of the question, for it had already broken up one Ministry and prevented the formation of another, had occasioned the early summoning the House of Com mons, and would doubtless usher in a stormy February —or whether they considered its local importance, or the experience which the merchants and shipowners of Sunderland had possessed in the application of the prin ciples of free trade, shipping having been selected as the first interest on which the experiment should be tried, it was quite clear that the inhabitants of Sunderland ought to be foremost in giving expression to their sentiments, an d, by some distinct and deliberative act, to proclaim to the nation their views as to the corn laws, whether the existing duty on corn is a public benefit, or, as he was disposed to think, a great national curse.—(Loud ap plause.) Considering the number of gentlemerprepared to address the meeting, he would not detain them by any lengthened observations; but it would be inconsistent in him were he to sit down without expressing his convic tion that the principles of free trade are well ealculated to promote the shipping and local interests of this port, and also the national weal.—(Applause.) His Worship then urged that it is contrary to the fundamental principles of British law to tax one class of the com munity for the benefit of another, and that there is nothing in the case of the corn-laws to. make it an ex. ception to the principles which he had stated. The ar guments now used to prove that the corn-laws were not maintained for the advantage of a particular class; but for the advantage of the nation at large, were precisely those used by the shipowners whilst the Reciprocity Act was under the consideration of the Legislature. The petitions urging this view of the question sent by the shipowners were unheeded by the landed aristocracy, who, before the Reform Bill, ruled in the House of Com mons; and the consequence of their petitions being treated so unceremoniously was, that the shipowners of Sunderland were almost to a man unflinching and un compromising Reformers.—(Applause.) It had been said. by a great philosopher and statesman, Franklin, that when you have got a good principle, you must go through with it ; and if it seemed to a casual observer that the principles of free trade had not worked well for the shipping interest, he would say they had not carried the principle far enough—let it be carried throughout, and British shipowners would be able to navigate their vessels regardless of any foreign competition into which they might be called upon to enter.—(Applause.) Only let British shipping be freed from the thraldom of " pro tection," and there WAS no doubt its flag would speedily wave triumphantly on every sea, and its superiority be tar:knots lodged by every nation—affording an exemplifi cation of the well-known aphorism, "Britannia rules the w .ves."—(llenewed applause.) J. Baosvx, Esq.. M.U., alderman and borough magis trate, on coining forward to move the first resolution, was receivel with applause and faint expressions of dis - :yrobation. The resolution stated that protection is aed would prove ultimately injerious to all ~504 of the community ; he felt convinced these words re true, and that it was not less injurious to the class , itch considered itself benefited by it than to other parts the n i ty. —( A pplause. ) It was his firm con v •tion that every branch of industry owes its best and et ly protection to itself—to the skill, science, and energy et' those who are engaged, and that all protection elf rded by the state, so far from being a benefit, is a positive injury to the classes who enjoy it. He had come to this conclusion from observing that every protected branch of industry languishes, and particularly agricul ture, for the advantage of which the corn-laws were de siened.—(Applause.) The Doctor remarked at some length on this point, and then observed that both agri culturist and manufacturer must prepare themselves fur c tmpetition with the world. It was easy to discern from the spirit which hid gone abroad, from the changes of administration which had recently taken place, that there is a popular voice gone forth in favour of free trade that will and must triumph.--(Applause.) Let only E igland put forth her energy, unfettered by prohibitory duties, and ha had no doubt of its ultimate and complete success against all foreign rivals, and instead of the vicis situdes of prosperity and distress which they had pre viously witnessed, employment and food will be found for every Briten breathing.—(Lotri applause.) The re solution was as fellows :—" That all protecting duties are unjust and impolitic, and ultimately injurious to all classes of the community." Mr. Councillor A. J. Moore, on coming forward to second the resolution, was received with the most enthu siastic cheering. He understood the monopolists in the borough were not prepared to come to meet them that evening; they had had the matter gravely discussed, and had come to the conclusion, that as they did not know the opinions of Sir Robert Peel, to whose faith they have pinned their sleeves, they had better not com mit themselves and run the risk of running counter to him; they thought it .best not to show fight, because if they had done so, he was quite sure they would nave been defeate,l.—(Appleuse.) The monopolists have acted in this manner everywhere; they have had their hole and corner meetings, the proceedings at which have been published at great length by the monopolists, but they had not dared to call a public county meeting, even in the most agricultural counties, lest their retainers should vote against them and condemn their proceedings. —Olean) He was happy to say the men of Manchester and Lencaehire had come forward to purchase Tialifica- Lions for North Durham, and he assured Lord London derry that whenever a dissolution shall take place the free-traders will be provided with two good free trad rs to contest the northern division. The indepen dent freeholders of North Durham would never allow the Noble Lord to dictate to there who should repre sent the county. And what right had L trd L andonderry,, a peer of the realm, to interfere in elections ? He hoped some lion. Member would move far a committee of inquiry into the conduct of his Lord ship in thus violating the privileges. of the House of Commons.—(Lund applause.) Lord Londonderry had also claimed one seat for Durham, as belonging to the Wynyar , l family ; he trusted the electors of that city would vindicate their own honour and credit, and refuse t o e l ec t one of the Marquis's nominees. Mr. Moore then adverted to the state of the representation of Sun derland. It WAS doubtful how Mr. Hudson would vote, for he had premised to support Sir Robert Peel, and it ill now expected that Sir Hobert will repeal the corA ees.—(Leughter.) It was their duty, however, to be pr.-pared with two good free-trade candidates, and on n" , icher occasion, the scalp fever having subsided, they ereell no doubt be successful. Mr. Hudson was already eensiderable discount even in this town, for unfor et-ately scrip has fallen very low.—(Laughter.) Mr. V mire then made some humorous and satirical remarks •e, the manner in which the scrip -hunters had been !,*i ten with the Eastern- Counties and Cambridge and Li attoln sharer. He intreated the free-traders on another e,sien to be united ; let them forget the past, and ;1 .•ermine to elect two gentlemen who will fully de clare the views of the inhabitants of Sunderland in the n- at Varliareent.—(Shouts of "Colonel Thompson:, and applause.) This resolution, and those which succeeded it, were all carried unanimeusly. Mr JOSHUA WILSO(, of the firm Wilson and Bro thers, meecbants, moved the second resolution, which was as follows : —" That from diligent inquiries which h ' l •"'e been male throughout the country, it appears to be universally admitted that there is a failure in the pre • ' l4- nt year's erep o f p o t a t oes , w hi c h cons ti tu t e a ve ry large proportion of the food of the poorer classes, and 'that sesur petitioners h a v e a l so reason to b e li eve t h at t h e corn harvest throughout the United Kingdom has been unfavourable both as to quantity and quality." lie ob served that p p r po ott o , c o t o ion to native industry had been the cry of their "o but freedom to native industry was the watchword of' the free-traders.—(Applause.) Native industry Was p ' n o r as ted m i uch promoted by the manu facture of iron ei whilst t n i exchange for corn as in the growth of cove ) best land is occupied, awnhdottheis known that all the re are thousands of our fellow-coentrym en h ave o not k a sufficiency of food. In the course a his re remarks he adverted to the c ompetition so much talked of proe r i ussian ships, v t r y ee th l e whole observing that after twenty years of reei less than of the commercial marine of that country the registered tonnage of the port of Sunderland. Rested that the protection societies should be destsnuegd. for the protection of native idleness instead of native g industry, and showed that where good farming i s carried on, the farmers produced such greatly i ncreased crops that they were not in the least afraid of an %bon_ lion of the corn-laws. Mr. Wilson then proved that the condition of the agricultural labourers under the Protectiv e s y s t em i s anything but enviable; one of the m at the Goatacro meeting sail— ' I'm forty years old; I never had above llb. of goo" beef from the butcher's; I have b ought a little mu ton, but I have not had a pound yet." These men had the corn•laws for their p rote ctione-4Applate,e.) In Worcester one of the protectionists was foolish enough to threaten the pea sentry that, if they did not put their shoulders to the wheel we shou'ldnighhavteheenern down from 7s. to 4s. per bushel. They good news to be true." (L e a answered, " That is too ghter.) After a variety of other observations , Mr. Wils7 !aid he was glad to find r. Berelay had declared said he to support the a olition of the c . wn-laws re out as fully a.,sinst the. sugar duties, p er h aps th: n x d t erland free tr :tiers might support him at the nett • ..•.pplattse.) Few people were aware of the election ectio s tuns n.— f. .by paid to the monopolists in sugar dutiefts:Fro Li .o , , , zar which entered the port of London elonme ytur ? the Welt itiiani)lanterspociceted,indiff:rence, ,~ .. of duty, 1,400,0001.; and it should be remembered that went, a a n s d p idd. forfor t p h r e o tpurpose to tpoo u the d o G f o s v u e g r a n r m l revenue e n everyue support the planters or their mortgagee., for protection and mortgages were very near neighbours.—(Ap plause.) It was reported that Sir R obert Peel intended to make a change in the corn - laws ; probably he would propose a compromise, for he was very fond of com promises. It was said that he and his lady once differed as to a joint which they should have for dinner; Sir Ro bert wanted a leg of mutton, and his lady a shoulder, so by way of coin promise they got a loin, which was be tween the two.—(Roars of laughter.) Mr. Councillor MORDEY seconded the resolution. He adverted to the deficiency in the wheat crop, and the disease in the potato crop which exist in this neighbour hood and the country at large, and then proceeded at serne length by argument and example to show that no danger was to be apprehended by the agriculturists from a repeal of the corn-law, closing his speech by a comparison of the state of the population of the two counties of Durham and Buckingham, with both of which he was familiar—the former county appearing to great advantage in the comparison. Mr. DicatsreoN, a working man (better known as the Manchester Packer, and at one time a great advocate for Chartism), rose, on the motion being put from the chair, and supported it in an animated speech. A. WRITE, Esq., moved the third resolution :—"That the inhabitants of this borough have just emerged from an unexampled period of distress, as can be shown by the returns of paupers made to the poor-law Commis sioners, and your petitioners, dreading the misery and wretchedness which must ensue from a scarcity of food, not only to the borough, but also to every part of the kingdom, consider that the admission of fbreign corn is indispensably necessary to avert the impending distress." He remarked that it afforded him very great pleasure to have an opportunity of bearing his testimony in favour of the total and immediate repeal of those iniquitous laws which prohibit the food of the people being brought into this country free from taxation, as it ought to be ; sod he considered that in consequence of the partial failure of the corn harvest and the great injury the potato crops have suffered throughout both Great Britain and Ireland, the question is at present of the most press ing and urgent necessity ; and be trusted Sir R. Peel would feel it to be his duty to listen to the petitions of the people from the large towns, and to propose to Par Element the total and immediate repeal of the corn-laws. —(Loud applause.) The first part of the resolution referred to an unexampled period of distress. As they were well aware, he had been engaged in extensive commercial transactions for a period of thirty years, and he could truly say that during the whole of that period he had no recollection of such severe distress among the great body of the working class—and indeed among the tradesmen of the borough, as during 1842, 1843, and partially in 1844; and al though it had pleased Divine Providence to give them a season of prosperity, yet wheat being advanced 25 per cent. and potatoes now selling at ls. per firkin, the price of provisions was a very serious drawback on the wages of operatives ; and there was too much reason to fear that unless the ports were opened speedily for the importation of grain and other food, we shall have a con siderable further advance in the price of provisions.— (Hear, hear.) If this took place, it would have a serious effeet on the country, by reducing the demand for ma nufactured goods. The worthy Gentleman then read the returns of paupers in the Sunderland Union (which includes a population of about 70,000) during the last four years. In 1842 the average weekly number of out door paupers was 4,898, in-door 330. In 1843, there were 6,162 out-door, and 343 in-door. In 1844, 5,289 out-door, and 337 in -door; and in 1845, up to the 25th of December, 4,433 out-door, and 255 in-door. If they contrasted 1843 with 1845, they would find a decrease in the workhouse of 88, and of out-door paupers 1,729. —(Applause.) This excess consisted of well- disposed, honest, and industrious operatives, who were obliged to throw themselves upon their parishes for relief during that season of pressure. He feared that unless the ports were speedily opened a very deplorable effect would fall upon the commerce of this port, and the general trade of the coantry.—(Applause.) Mr. T. Tnomesosr seconded the motion, enforcing the truth contained in the resolution by facts and statistics. which produced a powerful effect on the meeting These showed that within a very short period about 4,000/. was subscribed for the use of the operatives out of work ; 13,800 persons were relieved from this charity alone, exclusive of those receiving partial relief, presenting an amount of distress which if properly divided would show that every fifth man in the population was a pauper.— (Shouts of " Hear, hear.") This fearful state of things had resulted from deficient harvests aggravated by the corn-laws. A 1 irge demand for ships in the corn trade at first increased the rate of freights. this stimulated excessively shipbuilding, and then, when the commerce of the country was prostrated, our ships became little better than rotten hulks—our tradesmen and ship builders became bankrupts, or insolvents, and the labour ing population paupers. He applauded his fellow-towns men for the charity which they then displayed, but he insisted that the men of England want not charity, but justice.—( Applause.) He called upon them to strain every nerve for the accomplishment of their object, and in stirring terms expressed his belief that if the free-traders of Sunderland had done their duty at the last election, and returned Colonel Thompson, the father of free trade, Sir Robert Peel would then have brought on the crisis which has now come.—(Great applause.) Some were blinded at the late election by the railway mania to vote against their convictions ; others refrained from voting —he was sorry for some of these, because they had lost a moral power in the town which it was impossible for them to regain.—(Shouts of " No," and " Yes.") HQ concluded by urging the audience to abhor expediency, and to take their stand upon principle. Alderman CROPTON moved the next resolution : " That a petition be presented to Parliament praying that the ports may be opened throughout the United Kingdom for the admission (free from duty) of all arti cles of food, and that every protecting duty thereon may be immediately abolished, and that the following be such petition:— " To the Right Hon. the Commons of the United King dom, of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament as sembled. The petition of the inhabitants of Sunder land 4 ,` Showeth,—That your petitioners con s id er th a t a ll protecting duties are unjust and impolitic, and ultimately injurious to all classes of the community. " That, from diligent inquiries which have been made throughont the country, it appears to be universally admitted that there is a failure in the present year's crop of potatoes, which constitute a very large propor tion of the food of the pourer classes, and that your petitioners have also reason to believe that the corn harvest throughout the United Kingdom has been un favourable both as to quantity and quality. " That the inhabitants of this borough have just emerged from an unexampled period of distress, as can be shown by the returns of paupers made to the Poor law Commissioners, and your petitioners, dreading the misery and wretchedness which must ensue from a scarcity of food, not only to the borough, but also to every part of the kingdom, consider that the admission of foreign corn is indispensably necessary to avert the impending' distress. " Your petitioners, therefore, humbly pray that the ports may be opened throughout the United Kingdom for the admissioe (free from duty) of articles of food, and that every protecting duty thereon may be imma diately abolished. " And your petitioners will ever pray, Ste." He observed that, as a shipowner he had been a free trader ever since Mr. Huskisson passed the Reciprocity Act ; he believed he stood alone for many years ; but amidst all the outcry which was raised against that mea sure, he never signed a petition for its repeal.—(Loud applause.) He was confident it only required the full and united voice of the people to assist such men as Nlessrs. Cobden and Bright in or ler to secure the repeal of all protective laws, and to induce those Dukes and Afarquises who now fancied the people fared sumptu ously on potatoes and curry powder, to give way, that the people might have a good and cheap loaf of bread.— (Applause) He spoke to several of his friends among the shipowners being now in favour of free trade in all articles of food, and hoped the time was not far distant when this blessing to the country would be secured. Mr. G. HARDCASTLE, in seconding the motion, ob served that at that late period of the evening he would not detain them long, and after the speeches which had been delivered, it was unnecessary for him to do so. The circumstance in which he was placed reminded him of an anecdote of a gentleman who, riding along to New castle, met a (peer looking pitman, to whom he good. naturedly said. " It's a fine day, my friend." The pit man turned up his face and said, " Whae said it wasn't"? -- (Laughter) So if he told them that the corn laws were wicked, unjust, and oppressive, some person might reply, " Who says they are not ?" They all appeared to be in one mind on the subject. Mr. Hardcastle, how ever, branched into the question of free trade as it bears on the shipping interest, the farmer, and the public. He stated that on the Duke of Cleveland's estate in the county of Durham, for every tenant who had gained a competency, he could point to tweniy who had been re duced from tenants to labourers, and some of them hur ried into the parish workhouse. Colonel BECKWITH, of Silksworth, moved th e follow ing reso:ution:—" That David Barclay, Esq., M.P., b e r, quested to present and support a petition f oun d e d on the above resolutions, and that George Hudson, Esq., M.P., be also requested to support such peti tion." He looked at the corn laws in two points of view—es they affect the foreign relations of the empire, and its domestic policy and industry, In regard to the former, he had no hesitation in saying - , that if we had a Government having solely in view the general welfare of the empire, instead of (as all Governments since Lord Chatham's seem to have in I view) the propping up of an oligarchy, its object would be to render this country the commercial capital of the world ; and suppasing this to be the case, everything , must be arrived at by affording every facility to all the countries of the world sending their staple produce ha 1 as free as p oss ibl e f rom interruption.—(Loud apolaus7!") A violation of this rule has at the present time occa sioned most serio us results. They were all aware of our relations with the United States of America. Some two or three years a•-co a treaty was signed with that power which has been justly designated a capitulation ; it surrendered many of our interests, and in conse qu.nce of that treaty a tone of dictation and system of aggression have been h a d recourse to by the United 0, States, which no man, h owever peac..ably disposed he ma y be, can permit to pas.. The question of peace and war i n deed is no longer in our hands. MI we can do is to maintain our possessions ; Ae canno t retreat one font ; upon the United States will be the responsibity, and upon their heads must ie be >,n the some year, ueneeL Now, had the corn-laws b ago, America would never have thought of goin g to war with England ; and we should now strike out of her hand the beat weapons sho can , wield by abolishi ng the corn-laws.—( Applause.) The Gall t an: Colcnel " then turned to the cl.pw..stic policy of the - lif i e hation, he country: On looking at the Cage (.) ' found the whole of the manufacturing and a large por tion of the commercial classes cpposed to the corn-laws; a majority of the agriculturists are in favour of protec tion, but the more enlightened of them are as much op posed to it as any other portion of the community.— ( A pplause. ) There was another and more numerous class—those who are not able exactly to make up their minds on the question, and who are confused by looking at the magnitude of the interests involved. To such he would simplify the matter by supposing that the Mayor and corporation had the power and wi 1 to levy protective duties or to prohibit goods being brought from Monk wearmouth or Shields. Did any man think that would conduce to the prosperity of the borough ? No : by abolishing competition, it would destroy enterprise; and although the maker of any article might gain an in creased price for it, he would hare to pay every other tradesman in the same proportion, and would therefore lose in the long run. The same principle applies to the country generally.—(Applause.) The Gallant Colonel then contended that protection is not beneficial even to the landed interest, and adverted to the experience of the past as affording satisfactory evidence that trade and manufactures prosper most without protection. As Pre sident of the North Durham Registration Society, he concluded by calling upon the meeting to qualify for North Durham, observing that any one calling at the Registration-office, in the High street, might purchase a qualification which would be better as a speculation than many dozens lately afloat in this neighbourhood. Mr. Councillor CARLING seconded the motion in an energetic speech. This closed the proceedings, and a vote of thanks having been given by acclamation to the Mayor for his able and impartial conduct in the chair, the meeting se parated. THE SUN LONDON, TUESIJA Y MORNING, JANUARY 13, 1846 DESTRUCTIVE FIRES. Og Sunday morning, between the hours of three and four, a fire broke out in the Castle Tavern, Bull Inn court, Strand, the property of Mr. Thomas Parker, licensed victualler. The premises, which were three stories high, were flanked on either side by numerous dwelling-houses, and were adjoined at the rear by the Adelphi Theatre. An alarm having been raised, a con siderable period elapsed before the proprietor and the different lodgers could be aroused, by which time the whole of the back of the buildings, composed principally of timber, were completely wrapped in flames. With such impetuosity was the fire then burning, that it was with the greatest difficulty the inmates could effect a safe retreat. As it was, the waiter, a man named James Craner, together with a lodger, were obliged to leap from one of the upper windows into the court, with nothing on but their night-clothes. The waiter, upon jumping out of window, started off in the state he was to the Chandos-street Brigade Station, to give intelligence. The engines from that depot were quickly got out and taken to the scene ; these were followed by others of the London establishment, with Mr. Braidwood, the sup• rintendent, and also those belonging to the West of England County Insurance Companies. By the time, however, that they arrived, the flames had broken through the roof, and ascended so high into the air as to illuminate the greater portion of the metropolis. There being only a lath-and-plaster partition between the burning premises and the house No. 7 in the same court, a few seconds only elapsed before the latter also became ignited. The hose of the engines having been attached, the branches were taken down the court, but no water could at that time be ob tained from the plugs. For some time it was feared that the Adelphi Theatre would have been consumed. the skylight and trap-doors on the roof being several times in flames. A number of persons, however, having mounted the roof, a quantity of water, kept there in a tank provided in case of, such a disaster, was scattered about, and by that means the theatre was preserved. As soon as water could be procured from the mains, the engines were set at work, under the direction of Mr. Braidwood. After labouring fur s )me time, the firemen at length got the fire completely extinguished. The damage done is very considerable, the whole of the stock belonging to Mr. Parker, together with his furniture and wearing apparel, is totally lost- The furniture of the lodgers in the building, and that belonging to five fami lies in the adjoining house, is likewise destroyed. The scene at one period was truly distressing ; the residents of at least twenty houses in the court were to be seen running . to and fro almost in a state of frenzy, carrying along with them their children and what little property they could lay hold of. The origin of the fire could not be accounted for. The only , party out of the great number of sufferers who was insured, was Mr. Parker ; eight or nine families are therefore deprived of every thing they once possessed. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN THE WALIVORTH ROAD.— On Sunday afternoon, the premises belonging to Mr. Aldous, a corn chandler and seed merchant, situate at No. 9, Baker's-row, Walworth-road, were discovered to be on fire. The flames, it is presumed, originated at the back of the shop amongst the stock, and passed from thence up the staircase, and communicated to the first and second floors. The intelligence was without delay furnished to the engine stations, and forthwith the brigade engines, from Southwark and Waterloo bridge-roads, arrived on the spot. By the period, however, that the firemen could get to work, the flames had obtained so strong a hold as to threaten with destruction the numerous contiguous buildings. For tunately the mains of the Latnbetzt works afforded a plentiful supply of water, and after labouring for nearly an hour, the firemen succeeded in subduing the flames, not, however, until the back part of the shop, together with the sto ck in rade therein, and the staircase, with the first and second floors, were nearly destroyed. Ti e adjoining premises of Mr. Mars iall, No. 10, are also datnaged by water and fire. The origin of the fire is un known. The building was insured in the Alliance-office, but Mr. Aldous was uninsured. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN CLERKENWELL.—Saturday morning a fire broke out upon the premises bel urging to Mr. W. Farmer, an engin ca rying on business at No. 33, Great Sutton-st eat, Clerkenwell. It - iriginated from sound unknown cause in the factory at the rear of the dwelling. Fortunately the building, a large o ie, about forty or fifty feet long, was ,iettached, or the most disastrous consequences might have been expected. The engines of the London Brigade, p trish, Wes: of Eng lard, and Count ) ; Companies promptly attended, and there being in abundant stream of Mater supplied by the New River Company, the engines were set to work, and the firemen, after labouring for some ime, at length succeeded in extinguishing the flames, not, however, until the p•emises in which the fire began were, together with the contents, nearly consumed. Mr. Freeman is insured in the Sun Fire-office. FIRE ON BOARD A SHIP.—On Saturday morning. about twelve o'clock, the barque Thomas Henry, of Exeter, Captain Jewry, lying in Messrs. Curling and Young's deck, Limehouse, was discovered to be on fire. The issue of a dense mass of smoke from the after deck made the watchman aware of the fact. An instant alarm was spread, and intelligence was dispatched to the dif ferent engine stations. Upon entering the after cabin, the flooring was found to be on fire, and was blazing most furiously, threatening destruction to the entire ship. The crews of several vessels instantly set to work, but so firm a hold had the flames obtained that they defied the utmost exertions of the parties present. The parish engine was the first to arrive, and was sp..edily set to work. This was followed by the brigade engines from Schoolhouse-lane, Jeffrey and Wellclose-squares, Wat ling-street, an I the West of England statione. Owing to the combined exertions of all parties the fire was eventually extinguished, but not before considerable damage was dune. The origin of the fire has been traced to a defect in the stove. FIRE AT THE LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY STORES.—A fire, caused by the explosion of some fug signal lights, occurred in the above stores, situate near Cealk Farm. There being a quantity of cotton wipings in the place, the same became ignited, and for some time considerable alarm prevailed lest the entire building should fall a prey to the fury of the flames. The fire-engine belonging to the Company was quickly got out and soon at work, and by judiciously distributintz the water the flames were extinguished, but not until the floor of the building was much burned ane the con tents damaged by fire and water. EXTENSIVE FORGERY AT HULL The second edition of the dud Packet of Frid4y con :aims a rep•.rt of the examination of Edwin and Ben jamin Adamson, at the Hull Police -court, on a charge of forgery on Messrs. Brovinlow, Pearson, and Co., of Hull, to the amount of 2,379 L 15s. The prisoners, who were apprehended on Monday, had been, after a private exa mination, remanded, and were brought up again on Friday morning. 11 ojamin Adamson is a man about forty years of age, and keeps a tavern, called the Dur ham Ox. lie had been previously in the employ of Messrs. Brownlow. The other prisoner, who is nine teen years of age, has been a clerk in the house of Brownlow and Co. for five years. The for geries consisted of a series of cheques purport ing to be drawn by Brownlow and Pearson, on Messrs. Pease and Liddell, their bankers, for amounts varying from 50/. to 360/. The date of the first forgery was June 3, 1844, that of the last Oct. 9, 1845. The evidence against the prisoner Benjamin was very slight, but at the conclusion of the examination the Magistrates stated that they thought it was sufficient to warrant his committal. The elder prisoner appelred very powerfully affected at this decision of the Magistrates, and turning round to his brother, said in a tone of great agony, " Edwin, Edwin, how can you see me suffer for what you know lam innocent of? You know as well as Ido that I not only had nothing to do with the cheques, but never knew aught about them. You know as well as Ido that the indorsements of those three cheques are not in my writing but your•, and that I can prove i❑ any Court in England." The younger prisoner imme diately turned to the bench, and in u tone carrying con viction along with it, said " Indeed, gentlemen, what my brother has said, is quite true. He knew nothing of the matter until he was apprehended, a - id he never had a farthing's consideration in the whole transactions. I cannot deny that I am guilty, for I wrote the whole three endorsements which have been sworn to ha►e been written by my brother. He shall not suffer for my guilt,: there were three of ue concerned, Doran is one, arid my brother Thomas the other." Duran is a junior clerk in Mr. Brownlow's office. tie was immediately apprehended, and with the other prisoners remanded. The police officers have been in pursuit of Thomas Adamson for the last week.

The letter was ordered to entvrcd on the minutes, LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANERY, Jan. 12 This was the first day of Hilary Term, but it was unattended with the usual cer ‘itionial,, in consequel,c, of the arrangements that have bt'en made by the Lord Chancellor and the other Judges, for the more quick disposal of the business of the Courts. The only t erms that will in future be attended with any state ceremonial are Michaelmas and Easter. _ The Lord Chancellor took his seat in his Court. at Westminster to-day at eleven o'clock, and proceeded to hear appeal motions. WHITEHEAD V. BENNETT.—NE EXEAT REGNO. This case came before his Lordship in the nature of an appeal motion from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor of England, discharging a writ of ne exeat rt-gno which he had previously granted. The case was part. !yard before his Lords tip during the recess, and the arguments were resumed and concluded to-day. His LORDSHIP, considering the original affidavits on which the application for the nrit was made insufficient, affirmed the decision of the Court below, and ordered the writ to be discharged with costs. When the case was before the Tice-Chancellor of England, we gave an outline of it, and it is unnecessary, therefore, to state the facts again. NEEDHAM V. NEEDHAM. The remainder of the morning was occupied with the further hearing of this par-heard motion. ROLLS' COURT, Jan. 12. Lord LANGDALE at this day at Westminster. HOPE V. ROPE. Mr. ROGERS, on the part of the plaintiff, applied for an order for the postponement for four months of the hearing of thii case, which was fixed to take place in the Court of Queen's Bench this term. No opposition being offered by the defendant's Counsel, the motion was granted. DAVIDSON V. LESLIE. Mr. KINDERSLEY applied on behalt of the plaintiff for leave to amend his bill, and for an order to restrain the defendant's agents and solicitor from proceeding further in this case, until the prcduction in Court of certain papers necessary to the establishment of the plaintiff's claim to large property in land and fl'cks in New South Wales. Ile also applied for an injunction to restrain the defendant from giving any notice of action until after such papers, accounts, &c., should be produced. The application was granted. Several similar motions were then disposed of, after which his Lordship proceeded with the hearing of un opposed petitions, which were of quite an uninteresting character. VIOE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Jan. 12. (B•-fore the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) His Honour sat to day at ten o'clock, and took motions. No motion of any interest came before the Court previous to our going to press. (Before Vice Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.) TURNER v. FR 4.31PT0N. This suit, which stood in his Honour's paper for ju-1g • meta, arse . out of the residuary clause cf the will of Mrs. Fanning, deceased—a case not affected by the recent. Will Act. The clause to be construed was the follow ing :—" All the residue of my money, stock, and other moneys, I give and devise to my son, David Fermin, and to my daughter, Harriet Fcnning, in equal portions, if they are alive at. my decease ; but in case one or other of them be deceased before then. to the survivor." His HONOUR, in giving judgment, seemed to think tha. the construction of the clause was chiefly affected by the meaning and effect to be given to the word " survivor," which is sometimes used in its own proper sense—some times in the senso of " other." David Fenning, one of the legatees, deceased without issue prior to the death of the testator. His Honour gave his decision in favour of Harriet Fenning, theourviving legatee, at the same time said that the suit very properly had been instituted, and gave both the plaintiff and the trustees their costs out of the estates. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Jan. 12. (Sittings in Banco, at Wesminster Hall.) This morning, shortly after ten o'clock, Lord Denman, Mr. Justice Patieson, Mr. Justice Coleridge, and Mr. Justice Wightman, took thier seats in this Court, and forthwith proceeded to business. (New Trial Paper.) :GALE V. LEWIS. This was a case which had already been partly heard It was an application for a new trial on the ground of misdirection. The case was tried before Mr. Justice Patteon, at Bristol. It was an action taken by the executrix_ of the plaintiff for the recovery of a sum upon a policy of insurance. The defendant, the agent to the Insurance Company, alleged that the plain• tiff had became a bankrupt, but had assigned the policy before his bankruptcy, of which defendant had not been apprised, and therefore resisted the claim, as notice had been given; but it was contended that the notice was of a nature that was not sufficient in law, and that such was the question left to the jury, which, being a question .t law and not of fact, Counsel contended should not have been left to the jury; and that it should not have been left tp the jury to find whether the notice that had been given to a person named Leusmore, an insurance broker, was a sufficient notice to the Insurance Company. Judgment deferred. THE QUEEN V. THE CORPORATION OP MANCHESTER. Upon the application of the S elicitor-General, the hearing of this case was fixed for Monday next. THE QUEEN V. DOUGLAS. The hearing of this case has been fixed for Thursday week. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Jan. 12. Their Lordships did not sit till one o'clqek. Messrs. Baino and Wilkins were called within the bar, having been admitted as sergeants. Some motions were disposed of, none of which pos sessed any public interest. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jun.l2. (Sittings in Banco.) The Lord Chief Baron of the Court of Exchequer, accompanisd by Mr. B iron Parke, Mr. Baron Alderson, and Mr. Baron Platt, took his seat upon the ben, h at the Court in Westminster Hall shortly acter ten o'clock, and the Court immediately proceeded to hear and dis pose of a number of motions, which, being motions of c )urse, presented no features of public interest. COLLINS V. RODWAL This was a' action on the case brought by the plain tiff, who was an attorney's clerk, to recover damages from the defendant for injuries done to a couple of horse , . while they were entrusted to the defendant for being shod. The case was tried before ti e Lord Chief Baron at the recent sittings, when evidence was adduced on the part of the pinintitt to prove that defendant had been gnilty of gross negligence in shoeing two valuable horses of the plaintiff, and that considerable injury was inflicted upon the horses by such want of care and attention. Nevertheless, the jury found a verdict for the defendant, and Mr. Jervis now mooed for a rule nisi to show cause why the verdict being against evidence should not be set aside, and a new trial had. Their Lordships, however, all concurred in the opinion that the verdict was not at variance with the evidence, in so far as some of the witnesses protested that the injuries did not arise from a want of care and attention in the shoeing, but rather from a di s ease of long-standing from which they had been suffering before they came into the possession of the defendant. The rule was therefore refused. BEATON V. TIMMS. This was an action of debt for money had and received, which was brought by the plaintiff, a gentleman of for • tune, to recover back a sum of money paid to the de fendant, who was an auctioneer, in respect of certain copyhold property which the plaintiff h..d purchased at a public sale. The case was tried at the sittings in Mi chaelmas term last, when it was prove d that the defend ant sold the property in question on behalf of Messrs. Jubb, builders, who purchased it some time ago from the Crown, to whom it had been forfeited for some de falcations by a tax collector named Nichols, who subse quently took the benefit of the Insolvent Debtors' Act, and surrendered all his other property to his creditors. On delivery of the abstract of title to the plaintiff it was discovered that the property kad not been properly sur rendered to the Crown, and instead of being the pro perty of Messrs. Jubb it was, in law, the property of Nichols' creditors, and the plaintiff, in consequence of this dt feet the title, refused to complete the purchase, and brought the present action to recover back the de posit money he had paid at the sale, which amounted to several hundred pounds. The jury on the trial found a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount claimed. Mr. BRAN WELL now moved to set this verdict aside, on the ground that Nicholet had made a valid surrender to the Crown of the property to escape imprisonment, for the defalcations of which he had been guilty. It was true the surrender was not upon a stamp, but as the surrender was made for the benefit of the Crown, it diet not require any. But there was another and a stronger reason why the verdict should be set aside. The plain tiff did not make his objections to the title within the time specified :n the conditions of sale,-and therefore he ought to complete the purchase upon the title delivered, be it good or bad. The LORD CHIEF BARON said the Learned Counsel had better take a rule t o se t as id e the v er di c t, an d enter a non-suit, or to set aside the verdict with a view to a new trial upon payment of costs. Rule granted accordingly. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday a man, named Hemy Oxburgh, was brought before Alderman 11. Hughes, charged with having com mitted a robbery in, and having burglariously broken out of, the house of Elizabeth Ware, the keeper of the Woolpsck Tavern, Minories. rho prisoner was covered with soot upon being apprehended. Mrs. Ware, who is a widow, stated that on Saturday evening the prisoner was in the tap-room with some other persons, and she believed he was the last indivi• dual there. About seven o'clock on Sunday morning witness was rang up, and on going down stairs she found the door, which she had fastened before she went to bed, open, and the bar in great confusion. Some wine had been drank, and a pair o f " sovere i gn sca l es " i n a b ox, a cloth, and some cigars, biscuits, and loaf-sugar, were missing. The tills had been broken open, but she had taken care before she retired to bed to strip them of their valuable contents. There were, she remarked, traces of soot from the chimney corner in the tan-room to the bar, and several articles in the bar were blackened with it. There were missing 230 cigars, 23 cheroots, half a pound of tobacco, a pair of scales, and a cloth, and these were, she learned, taken from the prisoner in the street soon after he broke out of the house. She 1 was convinced that the pi isomer must have slipped up f t the chimney the moment he faind an opportunity, and his situation must have been most disagreeable, for some , water was thrown into the grate to extinguish the fire while he was in the chimney, and an abundance of smoke ascended. He bad a narrow escape of a more dangerous position too, for, after the fire was extin-J guished, some friends from the country arrived, and it was by the merest accident that the witness did not .211 e 01,1_, order a rousing fire to be lighted in the same grate. Providentially, hobvv,-r, tor the pri.oin,r, she deter ininud to accommodate bcr frit-nds in anodic r room. James King, a pot-boy to Mrs. Ware, was in the tap room with the prisoner on Saturday night, at , d they had a pint of beer together at about a quarter past eleven o'clock. When witness went to put up the shutters he did not see the prisoner go out, and again returning to the tap-room the prisoner was not there, and was sup posed to have left trle house. Witness lowered the fire, and put out the gas. John Peck, a constable of the Metropolitan police, stated that between two and three o'clock on Sunday morning he saw the prisoner with a bundle in Shorter street, Wel!close-square, running from the direction of the Minories, so covered with soot, that it was impossible to say whether he was a white or a black man. Witness ti‘.ked him what he ha got, but instead of answering, he threw down a bundle, and ran off. Witness sprung his rattle, and the prisoner was stopped in his presence by another constable. In the tundle were some of the ar tiel-s spoken of as having been stolen from the bar of Mrs. Ware's house, and about his person were found the remainder of the property. At first the prisoner said that he had purchased the cigars of a boy, but did not know anything about him. William Hanley, also a constable of the Metropolitan police, stated that, having heard the rattle sprung, and saw the prisoner run, he caught the man in his arms. The prisoner, who was all over soot, said, upon being seized, "If I had known where I was running you should not have caught me."—Committed for trial. Daniel Coope , , a person, who had formerly been a constable in the City Police, was charged with having committed a robbery. James Freeman, a bootrnaker, of No. 4, Hare -court, Aldersgate-street, stated, that about six o'clock on Satur day evening he was in the Castle Tavern, King street, C'heapside, getting some refreshment, when the pri soner walked in and obtruded his conversation. The prisoner sail he was hungry, and witness gave him half a-crown to get some bread and cheese, and he brought back two shillings and threepence, and left the room, immediately after which witness missed his purse, con taining two sovereigns, and two half-sovereigns. In a short time the prisoner returned, and sat down, and witness said he would send for a po liceman ; upon which the prisoner said, " Don't make a fuss about it," and asked him to go up stairs Witness and another person then accompanied the prisoner up stairs, and saw him take from his trousers the purse containing the money. The account he gave of the matter was, that he had picked up the purse along with some loose papers. The witness said to " You reseal, you have been robbing me while I have been giving you bread." The prisoner said he found the purse along with some paper, aad went tip and depo , ited it in the water-clbset. It app ared that Cull a. had. since his discluiree frAn the police force, engag,d in cadging about Guildhall. and advising, for a small consideration, the omnibus drivers nod conductors who have been summoned betoro magistrates for violating the law.—Committed. Six young women, vk ho had been upon a former oc casion brought up charged with having hr , ken windows, and acted most violently at the City of London Unior, to Cannon -street, were charged with similar off , nees. of them flung the shoe, which she had -on Saturday re ceived from the Lord May, at one of the officers - em ployed by the guardians. They were all sent to prison in rte fault of the payment of the reeauip s , CLE,"/CEA? WELL. Thomas Taylor, aged about 17, was chargo-d with the fulluwin outra;eous conduct to Mr. Petch, superint,n dunt of the Ragged School, in Lamb and Flag-c.mrt, St. John-street. The prisoner went into the school on Sunday and us, d bad language. The in aster told him to leave, where upon the prisoner "'truck him so violently as to make the blood flow from his nose and break his spectacles. The greatest confusion ensued, and police-constable 215 G came and arrested the prisoner, who was I,llowed to the station-house by a cro 4 d of bad characters, some of whom assaulted the police. Mr. GREENWOOD sentenced the prisoner to pay a fine of 21., or a fortnight's imprisonment. MAli - LBOIibUGH-STREET. Julia Jameson, a young good-looking female, respect ably dressed, was charged with wilfully and malieiou , ly breaking a square of plate-glass of the value of 4/. It appeared that about eleven on Sunday night the de fendant went to the house of Mr. James Wright, the landlord of the Queen's HeAd, Great Titchtield-street, Marylebone, and requested to see a young man who was in the parlour, that person, however, refused to come out to her, and she then became extremely violent and ex cited. On going out of the house she struck her fist seven or eight times against the parlour window, and then succeeded in smashing in the square of glass in question, in doing which she severely cut her hand. Mr. MALTBY (to the defendant)—Are you able to pay for the glass ? Defendant—l did not do it wilfully. I was tapping at the window to induce a young man who was in the parlour to come out to me. Mr. Wright harbours him in the house at all hours and times. I was to have been married to him on Thum - lay last, but he was at Mr. Wright's instead of going to church with me. Mr. Wright said, that after the defendant had broken the windows, she threatened to smash every thing in the house. Mr. MALTBY asked if she was intoxicated. The constable said she had been drinking. The defendant said, that if she was allowed until thrce o'clock the following day she would procure the 41. Mr. Wright said he would not take her word. Mr. MALTBY said that she must pay the money by five o'clock that afternoon, or stand committed for one month. The defendant, in tears, was led by the gaolor to the lock-up' cell. Wm. Williams, a young man of respectable appearance, was charged with stealing a bracket clock of the value of 201, from the hall of the house of Mrs. Mary Ann Donnelly, of No. 51, Glarle.,-street, Portland-place. Between six aud seven o'clock on Sunday, as police constab!e, No. 22 of the D division, was proceeding on duty along D. , vonshir-strei,t, Portland-?lace, he met the prisoner with the clock under his arm. Suspecting he had stolen it he stopped him, and inquired how he came by it. The prisoner said a man he met in the street had given it him to carry to Lisson grove; the constable told him he must go to the station house, and he then said, " I took the clock fi o a 52, Charlvs-street." From that information the c-nstable traced out that the clock was stolen from No 51 but a few minutes previou-ly to the prisoner's being stopped with it. The prisoner had gone there with a blank note, addressed to a lady lodging in the house ; and while the servant went up stairs with it, the prisoner wrenched the chock from its fastenings, and decamped. A large chisel, and some street-door keys, were found in his pocket. Mr. MALTBY asked if the prisoner was known ?—The police said he was not. Mr. MALTBY asked the prisoner if hl wished to say anything in his defence ? Prisoner—No ;I have nothing to say. IL; Was fully committed to take his trial at the Central Criminal Court.

It is also stated that the following alteration has been made in the naval uniform, viz.—Captains to wear the star, crown, and anchor; Commanders, crown and anchor; and Lieu tenants, the a,nchor, on their epaulettes; and all officers of wardroom Tank, to wear t wo epau l ettes .-11arysh;re rilgiraJA NAVAL INTELLIGENeE. PORTSMOUTH, .JAN. 11.—Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Commander-in Chi e f a t thi s p or t, gave another magni ficent entertainment at the Admiraity-house on Friday evening, surpassing in splenelour and hospitality even the two former. It was brilliantly attended, all, or nearly all, the rank of both services at the port and the ilite of the neighbouring gentry being present. The Rodney, 92, Captain Collier, will be docked to morrow, to have her copp er rer.ird. mid, it is reported. to be altered in her gripe, keel, and stern-pie:A, and her anidthip magazine done away with. The Scourge steam bomb-vessel, Commander Caffin, was undocked on Thursday. her copper having been cleaned, and some necessary alterations made in the pipes connected a ith the engines under water. The Rauh r steam (screw) sloop, Commander Smith, was imme diately taken into the dock vacated by the Scourge, the contemplated alterations in her screw propeller not having been completed when she was last clicked. By these alterations she will be ennhkd to ship or unship her screw at any time without difficulty, or raise it suffi ci%ntly to be clear of the water, if it should he desirable to get the vessel under canvass. This (which, for want of a hatchway through from the quarter-deck to the screw, such as has rec. ntly been made, could not be done before, without going into duck) can be accomplished at sea in a gale with ease. The Bittern, 16, Commander Hope, is repairing de fects with all idspatch in the harbour, and will be ready for sea in a few days, excepting as regards men, of whom she is short. The Alban steam troop-ship, Master• Commander Aylen, will be rea‘iy for Eea to-morrow, when she will leave for Plymouth and Cork, taking Royal Marines and supernumeraries. I he Curlew, 10, at this port is ordered to be strength ened and Cued fur the trial of a 13-inch mortar on board her. An experiment will be tried next week of firing from the Excellent gunnery ship shot and shell at an old steam funnel, to ascertain what effect the firing may have on it. The funnel will be fixed on a floating stage, and secured by cliains, as in the usual way on board steam-vessels, and placed at a regulated distance from the ship. We believe this trial has been ordered at the suggestion of Captain Chads. In an important trial, as this will be, we think a new funnel might have been granted, as it is scarc,ly probable an old will present su_th res'stance, atter having been weakened by wear, as one new from the foundry. The Cormorant steam-sloop, Commander Gordon, was at Callao, on the Ist of November. A private letter says ---`• On, of our boatS capsized on the 20th of Octob, and Dr. Thompson, the assistant-surgeon, and three seamen (Benjamin Serjeant, George Emery, and John Batten) were drowned. We had been at Callao since the Ist of August doing nothing ; the Admiral is down among the island with the Modeste and Salamander, at Otaheite, and has been there for the last twelve . months. The Amerila, 50, after h•av , n , „; the Sandwich IsLnds, expected to go to the Columbia River; and report also says that the Admiral goes there in the Collingwood, after having been the round of the islands." Ile Hydra steam sloop, Commander Young, was at Ascension on the 25th of November, undergoing repairs, and rot expected to leave for E .gland until Feb uary.

The Conway, 26, Captain Kelly, on the Cape of GOod Hope station, may be expected home in April, according to private letters received recently. It is re - ported that the 100 senior eaptain - sof the navy have been promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral, thus embracing those of 1808 down to those of 1813, as far as Sir \Vatkin Pell, inclusive.

GLOVER —On Thursday last the above popular actress attained the anniversary of the sixty-sixth year of her age, on which occasion all the members of the Haymarket company assembled, by Mr. Webster's request, in the green-room of the theatre, for the purpose of drinking a glass of wine to the health of the " Mother of the Stage." Mr. Web ster then proposed the lady's health in an appropriate and feeling terms, alluding to her long and honourable career on the stage, and pointing to her as an example of artistic excellence worthy of being imitated by the younger members of the profession in their struggles for theatrical fame. At the conclusion of his address a very handsome silver tankard was produced, which Mr. Webster presented to Mrs. Glover, with renewed wishes for her health and prosperity, in which he was heartily joined by every individual present. The recipient of the unexp cted gift, being taken by surprise, was much over come by her feelings ; she, however, expressed her thanks briefly, but warmly ; after which the tankard was filled and sent round fur inspection and examina tion of its workmanship and contents. The following inscription was engraven upon the tankard Pre sented to Mrs. Glover, the Mother of the Stage, on her attaining her 66th year. Bth January, 1846, by her de voted admirer, Benjamin Webster, lessee of the Hay . marki-t Theatre." INCOME TAX —The utmost annoyance has been expenenced by sharebrokers and other parties in this town, during the last fortnight, in having to appear before the Pro perty-tax Commissioners, and spend a great deal of time in replying to the surcharges of the officials. We understand the sharebrokers are grossly overrated, some being set down as hay ing incomes of 20,000'. a year, and similar exaggerations arid calculations are made in reference to other tradesmen. In nearly every case where thesemonstrous overcbargeshavebeen made, the party appealing has maintained his ground. The odiousness of the income-tax has been strikingly exhibited within the-last few weeks by the arbitraryexactionsattemoted to be made. Overcharges have been made by wholesale without any reason whatever ; and the parties overcharged have been exposed to an inquisition of their whole concerns. — Leeds _Mercury.
