AUTUMN. —For the last three months samples of new materials have been daily pouring in from all the celebrated manufactories In the world, The amplitude of pattern and magnificent finish displayed in these new styles for Autumn have afforded full scope for the matured judgment of E. MOSES and SON'S buyers, and the novelty, quality, and price of the goods offered to them in preference to any other Establishment, induced them to give the earliest orders on their usual magnificent scale. These new materials, for every description of Dress, are now sub mitted to the incomparable skill of distinct classes of artists, British and Foreign, in the employ of E. MOSES and SON, and will shortly be presented in novel styles, surpassing every other invention. E. MOSES and SON, by immense purchases on their invariable ready-money principle, have secured great allowances, and conse quently their new styles for Autumn will be charged lower than on any previous season. FROM ALL NATIONS TO THE "DIGGINGS." Ships are sailing from almost every port in the world, but the gold mines are not exhausted, nor the labour market overstocked. The superior equipment of many of the English is everywhere acknow ledged ; their means of comfort facilitates their success. That every emigrant may be outfitted in the best possibli manner, E. MOSES and SON have employed all the advantages of their magnificent and universal trade, and that practical experience with Outfitting, which is the result of undeviating attention to the largest business in the world, conducted for the benefit of every class of emigrants to all countries on the globe. Outfits may be selected to any amount the emigrant desires, or the most profitable investments may be made in Clothing, Hosiery, Boots, Shoes, Bats, &c., &c., all expressly pre pared for Australia; a separate section for Emigrants' Outfits, con veniently connected with the other departments of their magnificent business, where every article may be obtained at the lowest price, and superior in quality to the productions of any house in the uni- verse. Full Lists of Outfits, and all information relative to sailing of vessels and cost of passage may be had on application, or post free to any part of the kingdom. SPECIAL NOTICE.—E. MOSES and SON'S Establishments will be closed on THURSDAY next, September 23, and will re-open on FRIDAY morning, September 24, at Seven o'clock. CAUTION. —E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesmanlike falsehood of " Being conne3ted with their Establishment," or " it's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons. They beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Esta.blist.ment, 154, 155, 156, and 157, affinories, 83, 84, 85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR ON BOARD A DUTCH STEAMER. —On Monday afternoon information was forwarded to Mr. W. Payne, coroner for the City, of the subjoined mysterious occurrence, which took place on board the screw-steamer Magnet, trading between New Dieppe, Holland, and the port of London. It appears that the Magnet arrived from New Dieppe on Friday last, and was anchored off Brewer's quay, Lower Thanies-street. Among her passengers was a man named Velticus Schadman, who had charge of several head of cattle, and shortly after the arrival of the vessel Schadman and another Hollander left to go ashore, and nothing more was seen of them until about six o'clock on the following morning (Saturday), when some of the crew of the vessel heard loud and pitiful groans proceeding from the hold. A search was made, and Schad man and the other Hollander were found lying in the hold of the vessel in a state of insensibility. They were both removed to St. Thomas's Hospital, where they were promptly attended to by the house surgeon, and every means was used to restore animation, but with success only in one case, Schadman, who never showed any signs of life, was suffering from a very severe fracture of the skull, and ex pired a short time after his admission. The other Hollander recovered, but was much bruised about the head and body, and has since gone back in the Magnet, to acquaint the friends of Schadman of his melancholy and untimely fate. The manner in which the two men got into the hold of the vessel and received the injuries from which Schadman died is at present shrouded in mystery, and cannot be unravelled until the return of his companion.

LANCASTER AND PRESTON. The annual general meeting of the shareholders of the Lancaster and Preston Junction Railway was held at Lancaster on Monday afternoon; Mr. J. Bushell, chairman of the board of directors, in the chair. There was a very full attendance of pro prietors. The report and statement ef.accounta,_which have already been"puGtished, having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report. Mr. MooRE (a director) seconded the motion. Mr. KATE (of Bury) said he found the maintenance of way on the Lancaster and Carlisle and the united railways amounted to a serious sum of money. For the half-year ending July 31st, 1851, it amounted to 8,008/. 14 33. ; for the half-year ending 31st of January, 1852, to 7,427/. ; making 15,4351. for one year's maintenance of way for a distance of ninety miles. In the half-year ending the 31st of July, 1852, there was a slight reduction, the cost being 6,968/. 35., or at the rate of 14,0001. a year. The directors had now taken the management of the maintenance of way into their own bands, but he suggested that the better and more economical plan would be to get some respectable contractor to take it for a certain number of years. The CHAIRMAN said it was in accordance with a very generally expressed wish on the part of the shareholders that the directors had taken the mainte nance of way in their own hands. Mr. GILLow (of Liverpool) asked if the majority of railways did not undertake the maintenance of way —the London and North-Western, East Lancashire, Midland, and others ? He commented at some length upon the constitution of the directory of the Lancas ter and Carlisle Company. At the last meeting of that company he and his friends had proposed the appointment of a gentleman as director in the place of Mr. Marshall, M.P., but they had been outvoted through the use of proxies procured by the board of directors. The CHAIRMAN said that be, as a director of the Lancaster and Carlisle Company, had never heard of proxies having been applied for until one was shown him the day before the meeting. After some discussion an this point, the motion for the adoption of the report was unanimously agreed to. The CHAIRMAN then proposed "that the follow ing dividends, after the rate of 7i per cent., be de clared and paid :—Each whole share, 1/. 15s. 7d. ; three-quarter share , 11. 3s. 7d.; quarter share, 93. 4d.; twelfth share, 3s. ld. ; less income-tax." The motion was carried, and the directors (retiring by rotation) having been re-appointed, a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, and the proceedings ter minated. DUTCH RHENISH. Yesterday a special meeting of shareholders was held at the Cotton Sales Room, Liverpool, for the purpose of taking into consideration the subjects to be brought befire the general meeting of pro prietors to be held at Amsterdam on the Ist of Oc tober next. The report, of which the following is a summary, had been circulated amongst the shareholders : The report embraced a detail of the financial and other measures which the direction considered most eligible to ensure the execution of the works prepara tory to the opening in April, 1855. The way from Arnheim to the frontiers having been it approved by the Minister of the Home Department, was proposed to proceed immediately with the expropriations of land for the line. The disbursements required beyond the expropriations, were—The laying of a new line, narrow gauge, alongside the present one betweem Am sterdam and Utrecht, the removal of the latter to the section between Utrecht and Arnheim, and the alteration of the existing gauge on that section. The cost of this could be defrayed by the contribution of the 1,000,0006. receivable from Government. 2. The way from Arnheim to the frontiers. Mr. Joseph Locke, M.P., had estimated the cost of a single line at 106,5001., or 1,278,0001 ; indeed, a tender had been received from Mr. Brassey for this amount, and the direction considered that 120,0001., or 1,440,000 A., would cover the whole cost. 3. The way from Utrecht to Rotterdam. The designs would have to b e worked out afres h, but this would make no diffe rence in the estimated cost, which would amount, according to Mr. Brassey's estimate, to 190,0001, ex clusive of th e cost of signals, turn-tables, stations, &c. 4.• The cost of materiel. This the directors estimate at 1,800,0001, or 150,0001., not including coa l waggons. T he requirements for opening the entire line will thus be as follows : Expropr i at i o n of Prussian Exten- fl. sion lino and balance of Rotter dam line ... ••• ... 960,000 80,000 • Prussian Extension line coritract... 1440,000 120 000 Rotterdam line ditto ... 2 , 880,000 240 ' 000 MatCtriel .. 1,800,000 150,000 Total ... ...11 7,080,000 £590,000 Of the above, 1,200,00011, or 100,0001., will be im mediately required for ex propriations, , and for ratifi cation of contracts for de liver y of materiel. The report goes on further to say, that the sum of 4,800,00011. can be obtained from Gover nment according to article 12 of the agreement entered into; and that only about 2,400,00011. will remain to be found, of which sum 1,200,00011., or 100,00 01 ., wil l be required for imme diate wants. It is recommended, that to obtain this sum, recourse should be had to the 2,415 stamped bonds in the loan of 9,000,00011., in order to raise money on their security for the construction of the works. The direction did not intend to put those bonds again into circulation ; but they are of opinion that the end will be obtained, by depositing the bonds in the Bank of the Netherlands, under trust of two members in the direction, two Dutch, and two English commis saries, to be appointed by your meeting, and by is suing certificates in their place, for the same amount and at the same interest, at par, to be charged to con struction account till the opening of the way. Be. sides this, there were 6,496 shares which had been declared forfeited. The foregoing estimates had been framed upon the most economical basis, but the dir e ctors anticipate such an increase of traffi c as wo uld warrant the laying of a d ou bl e line throughout, the cost of which was es timated at 1,440,00 0 E1., or 120,0001., an d would be increased to 3,000,00011., or about 250,0001., by the construction of a terminus at Rot terdam, a quay-wall at Amsterdam, &c. Negotiations had been opened with the Cologne and Minden Rail way Company, which company was charged with the construction of the line from Oberhausen to the Dutch frontiers, in order to come to an understanding on the different points requiring arrangement. The directors requested to be empowered to conclude an agreement as to the leasing of that part of the line between Emenerich and the Dutch frontiers. The rolling stock for the coal traffic would be p rovi ded at the joint expense of the two com p anies. Mr. CHARLES HOLLAND , the chairman, s aid the me eting bad been convene d b y the En g lis h commis_ series, with the fu ll concurrence of the dirceti on in Holland, in order that the shareholders in England might have an opportunity of conferring together upon the very important and momentous questions that arise in regard to the Dutch Rhenish Railway, as they could not have that opportunity in Amster dam on the Ist proximo; and he thought the share holders would agree with t hem that it was extremely desirable they should have a full statement of the present position of their concerns, and likewise that they should come to resolutions as to what it was expedient to do with regard to the future. Although they were aware that the resolu tions this meeting might pass could not be clothed with any legal official character, there still could be no doubt, from the united purpose and perfect harmony which existed between the shareholders in England, and the directors in H olland, that that re sult would hav e d ue weight at head-quarters. And he was happy to think that that harmony and united purpose must have a due effect upon the public in England and Holland, and would give a still greater guarantee for the full and efficient carrying out of whatever resolutions they might determine upon. Here he might pause for a moment to cast a retrospec tive glance at the striking, contrast between their pre tent position and what it formerly exhibited in Liver pool.—(Hear, hear.) On the former occasion there was nothing which csulticconduce to their confidence but now he was happy t o say there we re all the ele ments of success pre sen t e d to them.—(H ear,hear.) favour.—(Hear, They now started with p ubli c op i n i on both in Eng land and Holland in th e i r f avour. hear.) They now started with treaties made io Holland and with the Netherlands Government for carrying out the completion of the li ne ; an d w i t h a credit that would enable them to complete t h e i r financisl ar rangements without ap pea li ng to t h e p oc kets of the shareholders.—(Cheers.) All th ese features were such as fairly to lead t o t h e conc l us i o n that they should at least obtain a 113""ssful result with re s p ect to the Dutch Rhenish R a il way. Th e y would ob serve that, as to the financial measures, the directors in Holland had obtained a bill with powers to raise 200,0001. to complete the extension of the junction of the present line. As regarded the completion of the line from Utrecht to Rotterdam, which would cost about 400,0001., an arrangement was made with the Netherlands Government, by which during the two years that it was expected to require in construction, the Government bouniltself to pay a very large sum of money as interest upon the capital that would be employed, amounting to about 30,000/ , which would be paid to them if they chose'to raise the funds them selves wherewith to complete that line. The Govern ment, however, reserved the option of itself advancing that money-400;0001., without charging interest, and that you should repayta -s s ePa in three years after the_ commencement of the - swtirks--1855 and 1856. They had the advantage of the abl e a nd friendly assistance of Mr. Locke, who, at th e i r urgen t request, had sent over a responsible person t o H o ll an d to in spect the line minutely, and to for m surveys an d plans of the whole works. He wished particularly to point out the fact that they would have as their termini, on the side of the ocean, the two great ports of Rotter dam and Amsterdam, , the latter ,the best port of Western Europe. In connexion with their future prospects he might allude to the fact that, even on the miserable fraction of the 57 miles of line be tween Amsterdam and Arnheim, there was at present no absence of traffic. Under all its disad vantageous circumstances, this 57 miles ; o f a line n d wphr when they about 35,0001. of annual revenue t e h x e a y ea c d o e n d sid l e , r o e o d o, tohoaothey theexpenditur e upon i t h a d no t would be satisfied that their funds were not expended on unproductive works —(Cheers.) In conclusion he called upon Mr. Beloe, of Liverpool, secretary to the English depart ment, to read the resolutions which were to be sub mitted for their adoption. Mr. BELOE read the following That the parties holding the E ng li sh proxies at the , to be h e ld in Am sterdame nsui n g meeting l e o f f o the e s b h e a r r , e h b o e l d er shereby instructed and empowered to pass the following resol u ti ons: — "1. To receive and adopt the report of the direction to the meeting, and to consent to and support the three resolutions therein proposed. "2. To express the cordial approbation and concur rence of this meeting to the confirmation of the contract proposed to be made by the direction with Mr. Brassey for the completion of the works, and to request the meeting of commissaries to that effect. "3. To authorise and request the meeting of com missaries to accord to Mr. Hesleden, the English resi dent director, an increase of salary of 2001. per annum, to commence with the present financial year, in con sideration of his increased duties and responsibilities. "4. That the thanks of the meeting be given to the Dutch commissioners for their co-operation in bringing the agreement with Government to a successful issue. "5. That the thanks of the meeting be given to Mr. B. Dunker Curtius, for his able vindication of the rights of the shareholders to a due control over the affairs of the company, and generally for his advice and exertions as president of the direction; and likewise to Mr. C. W. Hesleden, for his zeal and energy in promoting the interests of the company, and for the prominent part taken by him in the various negotiations with the Prus sian Government relative to the junction. " That the following gentlemen be named as trustees for the purpose mentioned in article 1 of the resolutions proposed by the direction :—His Excellency Gerrit Count Schimmelpenninick, Jacob Ran van Gameren, Mr. Thomas Edwards Moss, Mr. William Allcard, Mr. B. Donker Curtius, Mr. C. W. Hesleden." Mr. HESLEDEN submitted a statement of traffic which he had compiled, both present and prospective. From the comparisons and calculations which he had made, he had come to the conclusion that the de velopment of traffic on the Dutch Rhenish would be such as to realise about 20i. to 255. per share. This would not be realised in the beginning, because traffic was a thing of slow growth. Mr. lavviN Mozi.ur moved as follows :—That the cordial thanks of this meeting be presented to the English commissaries, a n d to their secretary, , Mr. Henry C. B e l ce ; and that a com mitree consist ing of the f o ll ow i ng gentlemen na mely, Mr. Joseph Langton, Mr. L ew i n Mezley, and Mr. C. H. J ones, be appointed t o con f er with the shareholde rs as to the best method of t es tif y i ng their h i g h sense of the services rendered t o t h e proprietors by the gentlemen referred to, who h ave so l ong an d so ably protected the interests of th e s h arehol d ers , and to whose labours the pres en t i mproved as p e ct of the af fairs of the comp any may, i n a gre at measure, be attributed." Mr. CHRISTOPH ER J ONES secon d e d the resolution. The resolution was then passe d, and the pro ceedings closed with t h e usua l com pliment to the chair.

He ~ was bred by the late Mr. Theobald at Stock cwaeril, whence ho takes his name, under the stud° of John Lowry, who was Mr. Theobald's th e g r oom , and who is well known now on road from Clham to the City. Before the to Brighton; why colt w as men on w th e e a e turfe weaned Joh n offe r i Lowry g hi wrote m for to sale, all but te withoutlending success. Honest John was fervent in his praises mired him o the Baron's son, but, although many came to see, !tone remained to pUrchase. Mr. J. Arnold and Mr. Day offered 1001, for him, but the offer was rejected. Just previous, however, to the Brighton races, John Lowry said to Mr. Theobald, " Now, sir, you are going colt, and then you will have the satisfaction of seeing well him ron, even if he don't win?" Mr. Theobald took not ask Lord Exeter to buy the the advice, and the result was that Lord Exeter came to Stockwell to look at the colt. The noble Marquis ad. of hi m. " He's a splendid cAt, my lord," said John, " but whether he'll turn much, and asked John Lowry what he thought out a good racer or not, I can't - say; I should, however, advise your Lordship to have him." The Marquis returned to Mr. Theobald, sold him and the bargain was struck; and the new owner of Stock when Lord Exeter was gone, gave John Lowry orders to send him to Burleigh as soon as he was weaned. John, of course, asked Mr. Theobald what sort of bargain ho had made, and the old gentleman replied, s, Why, John, I have sold him for 1801, but, mind, I would not have to any one else at that price, so you must say it was 2501., and you stand 501. to nothing if he wins the De r by." Such is the history' of Stockwell, and we believe that the Marquis of Exeter has never regretted his visit thereto, or acting upon the advice of John Lowry thereof. —Racing Times. terday afternoon Mr. I.Vm.

FROM TEE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TILVIES.—W e said the other day, and we said it to the credit o f thi s country, that it was impossible to enumerate or comprehend the various acts and kinds of homage rend ere d to the Duke f Wellington throuehout his lon g career. Perhaps we mighten.s say the same of th e h onours that lie vbeanalreadv offered to his memory. All parties, ell schools of opinior, men the most diff erent, and journals the most antagonistic, have agreed to touch with the gentlest with possible hand their old grudgesthe Duke, and to swell one great acclamatio n t o his patriotic virtues and colossal powers. The Duke was thorough aristocrat, and though he gave his he advice, a his vote, and his influence for the people, s re garded them as a human mass to be respected fo bo evidentlyspared their power and feared for their violence, t o domestic ills, and saved from a foreign foe. He derstood them as he understood an army o r a generalun that he had to deal with ; but he had little mor n sym pathy with them than a careful shepherd might have for his silly flock. He was not one of them. The natural result is that he has always been more re spected than loved by the extreme Liberal party. In truth, though it was .highly convenient to have a man in the country who could mediate so ex peditiously and so effectually between the people and the privileged classes, it was not compliment ary to the former to be described to the latter as an animal that must be appeased and tamed. Yet, as our readers would see by a very able article inserted in our columns yesterday from a weekly cotempo rary, the extreme section of the Liberals shows a noble anxiety to do every possible justice to this great chanip_ion, of monarchies and aristocracies. These Writers generally brush away from the question a heap of little prejudices and sore recollections, and confess to an honourable pride in the Duke's genuine English q ualities, in his entire loyalty and submission to the l a ws, in his continual sense of duty, in his calm cou rage and unwearied perseverance, in his uniform good sense, in his unwearied industry, in his readiness to make any sacrifice, to dare any danger, or brave any obloquy ; in a word, for that rare union of qualities which rendered him for half a century the mainstay and glory of this realm. After a searching analysis of the Duke's character, and a careful comparison with the more dazzling qualities of his great antago nist, our Radical contemporary awards the preference to his own countryman, and that in a splendid, though discriminating, eulogy. Nay, the very anticipations of extreme Liberalism are made to contribute a new grandeur to the Duke's memory. He is described as the last of a procession of great old names, as the Northmen's ideal of death envelopiug in the dark folds of his robe the whole pageant of antiquity, of which we have now seen the last. A n e qually honourable example of candour and good sense has been shown in another unexpected quarter, and it appeared side by side with the English ess ay in our yesterday's columns. The Assemblee Nationale, the only member of the French press that now professes to be free, has ventured to tell the plain truth about Wellington and - Napoleon, and told it so plainly The incur the formal reproof of th Govern ment. facts of the Duke's life are so u ps tent, so consecutive, and crowned with such a practical con clusion, that it requires great ingenuity to explain them away. But that ingenuity has long been verna cular in France. It is by this time bred into the race, and is now, as it appears, a matter of political necessity. Th e theory that Wellington stumbled into triumph by a long succession of blunders, that from one unmerited victory he boggled into another, that next to a fortune always above his deserts his chief means of success was the excessive stupidity of the British soldier, who never knew when he was beaten, and that after Wellington had committed the egregious error of straying into France, he received a final thrashing at Waterloo, and was only rescued from annihilation by the accidental arrival of another army in the field— all this is believed as much, perhaps, as anything else is believed, by our philosophical and credulous neighbours. The journal we have mentioned takes the safest estimate of the Duke of Wellington's cha racter, and ventures to point out what really cannot be denied—his practical qualities—" a solid judg ment, a cool reason, a wonderful justness of percep tion, both on the field of battle and in the Cabinet, the most penetrating good sense, amounting to a power which became genius, a perseverance which nothing could tire or turn aside, and the most unshakeable firm ness in great dangers." Our Parisian contemporary paints out the perfect harmony between the qualities of the man and their actual results both in the field and the Cabinet. If his military success was the result of a miraculous succession of lucky accidents, how are we to account for the splendid position attained by the Duke in this country, and enjoyed, with continued augmentation, to the very end of his career , so that one of the latest public acts of his life was to render personal assistance to the Queen in weighing the balance of parties ? In the case of Napoleon Bona parte the writer is so bold as to admit that in spite of his prodigious powers he overreached himself and failed; so that if the commencement of his career looks very brilliant by the side of Wellington's, the conclu sion is all the other way. Lastly, our contemporary, after alluding to the splendid destiny which re warded this life of labour and self-denial, does jus tice to the universal regrets with which England follows her great commander and statesman to his tomb. Here, then, are two weighty testimonies, ex pressed with great force and even eloquence, and coming from quarters where political or national an. tipathy are usually allowed to reign supreme. And now for another testimony still more weighty, inas much as it is offered in spite of a combination of po litical and national antipathies. This wreath, not of bays, but of prickly holly, is offered by two amiable contemporaries breathing the mild air of the Atlantic in the classic city of Galway. They freely acknow ledge the " mighty genius of the departed hero." They chide the cold tone and scant measure of our praise. " Wellington," as they express it, was " one of the eyes of England." He was " the greatest comman der that ever led the British armies to victory." We may well weep over his coffin, for now he is gone we may soon want one like him. But the climax of the eulogy—which, however, these writers express in the language of complaint—is that Wellington was thoroughly, deliberately, and consistently loyal to the Sovereign whom he served. Perverse, cold, stupid, mistaken man that he was, he would not rebel. He commanded the British armies against all sorts of foreign foes, with a certain cold blooded, calculating, commercial sort of courage, and so enabled England to maintain her ascendancy at home. In doing this he was a traitor to Ireland. " Msy Erin never rear such another son to turn his mighty genius to the service of her tyrant !" But Wellington, it seems, bad no soul for agitation or rebellion. " There was not an atom of chivalry about the Duke.—There was no heart in his fighting. He served a commercial people steadily, rigidly, soberly, regularly, just as a commercial people likes to be served.—He was no boiling enthusiast he was cold, rigid, and calculating—in a word, the Iron Duke. He devoted himself to the English service." Yes. There is the one unpardonable sin in Galway, for which there is neither political indulgence nor priestly absolution. The Duke was loyal. He was provokingly, stupidly, obstinately loyal. With one spark of true heroism how different his career would have been ! At the head of the United Irishmen he might have achieved the independence of his country—and then woe to England ! Under him the Irish Brigade would once more have followed the standard of France. Ireland would still shout, as of old, Faugh-a-ballagh—what ever that may happen to mean—under the bright em blazonry of the silken banner of every country that hates England. What would have been the conse quence ? The field of Waterloo might have been another Fontenoy. This delighful daydream, these pathetic regrets, we give in the very word s of our Galway contemporary. Such is the last touch that was required to the portrait of this great man. He lacked but one thing—the generous enthusiasm that prompted a certain nameless personage to ex claim, " Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven." Under the tuition of Dr. M'Hale, the probable writer of the article we quote, h e would have learnt to es timate at its proper value the service of his Sovereign, and he could have realised the romance of Celtic do minion, What might Ireland, what mig h t Arthur Wesley, what mi g ht D r. M'H a l e h av e become u nder such auspices ? We hare only to turn everything upside down and substitute the tail for the head, and then you have the reply. CHRONICLE.—It is not surprising that, in the discussions on the income-tax, the case of short an nuitants should have been put forward msuo:tehioperdombi nently than even the alleged grievance ent majority o y f professional men and traders life g annuitants ; and holders of property are in h facte who devised the form the original intention of those n by the name of of security more commonlyoskfnow. was to facilitate the operation Government Annuities, of sinking capital for the purpose i in c r e the available income of individua ur ls. In the ordinary tenure of a terminable annuity, there is no peculiarity to distinguish y t hi s species of income from an- , other kind of revenue fairly liable to taxation. The jointurer or life incumbrancer on land pays the im post as long as his interest continues ; and the pur- [PRICE SD. chaser of a life annuity from Government, or from an insurance office, enjoys equal advantages, subject to the same deductions. It must be wholly imma terial whether a &ceised husband has provided for his widow by charging her income on his landed property, or by procuring for her a Government annuity for life. In either case the saleable value of leer interest is the same, as well as the annual revenue. Yet it will be found that, while only a few csreless theorists propose to tax a life interest in land at a lower rate than a per- petuity, all the actuaries who have given their opinions on the income-nx concur in asserting that a termi nable annuity ought only to be essessed on the jute• rest of the capital which it represents. The reason of this distinction is worth considering, inasmuch as it is connected with the professional position of its au thors. Actuaries are the advisers and principal managers of insurance offices; and those associations are amongst the larger holders of terminable annui ties. The preference which they give to this class of securities is founded partly on the higher interest which they return, even after allowing a sufficient de duction for re-investment to ensure the reproduction of the capital. There is also a convenience in the constant replacement of the principal s u m, which ob viates the necessity of selling out stock to meet the demand s which periodically arise. The insurance co mpanies, in profit short, as well as other sp eculative capitalists, h ave no purpose in sinking mo ne y in a terminable annuity,° is of except_ course, a to reconvert it into a per petuity. There ope ration, or it wouldt_e not be effected; but the ban ker and the actua r y habitually, divide nannuity the into th e interest due on the purchase purchase money, and the instal l° replace the capital. The sum which is sunk at the beginning at the end, still subject lothe of the term income-tax emerges under any new form of investment ; although most exagge ratedand al statements of the grievance have published, it may be admitted that, .n this case, as in been repeatedly all others in which capital is l ardl y re mode l of distinguished from income, the principle of equal im poses a discouragement on one particularassessment in vestment. The ordinary method of capital consists in the annual employment pa o replacing the of the excess of the annuity, over the interest of th e dhase money, in buying other annuities o f Pu th r ; same kinds. Many advocates of graduated taxation have assumed, with singular inaccuracy, that a fresh loss is incurred as often as an annuity is purchased ; but it is evident that the market price of all securities adjusts itself to any permanent fiscal system. The whole grievance, therefore, whatever may be its amount, was inflicted at the time when the income-tax was first imposed. If annuities have since maintained their former relative value, as is assumed by our correspondent " Igno ramus" and others, the fact only proves that the dis turbing influence of the tax has been practically im perceptible. Even Mr. Hardy, in his evidence, ap pears in some degree to have forgotten this obvious consideration. No permanent impost on any species of property can have any effect in increasing the price to the purchaser, so long as other investment, equally eligible in themselves, remain exempt from the burden. There can be little doubt that the annuities actually held by the offices have, for the most part, been pur chased with full notice of the tax ; and in all such in stances, the Government or other grantor, must have been the only sufferer from the peculiar incidence of the impost. The case of the annuities taken by the Bank of England at the request of the Treasury is, however, of a different character. The actual loss suffered by the capitalist or speculator who holds terminable annuities is easily expressed in any case which may be selected as an example. IF, in the absence of an income-tax, A. invests 1,0001. in Consols at par, while B. purchases an annuity of 901. with the same sum, it may be assumed that—the interest of the money remaining the same—B. will be able to spend 301. annually as income, and at the end of his term of about eleven years, to realise the same perpetuity which A. has already secured. The relative posi tions of A. and B. will be precisely the same if their respective purchases are made after the establishment of an income-tax, although the gross terminable an nuity will be larger in amount. If, however, the tax of 7d. in the pound is imposed immediately after the first investments have been made, B. will suffer a comparative disadvantage. The income of A. will be permanently reduced to 291. 2s. 61.. while, it B. spends an equal annual sum during the continuance of his term, he will find himself, at the end of the period, only able to purchase a perpetuity of the same amount, subject to income-tax, or a net income for ever of 2S/. ss. 61. In other words, his loss is the first instance, will be represented by the value of the tax on A.'s tax-free annuity, deferred to the end of his term. The elaborate tables which have been published for the purpcse of exhibiting the decreasing values of terminable an nuities may be accurate; but they are in the highest degree complicated and perplexing. In calculating the present value of an annuity at its commencement, all the elements of the problem are taken into consi deration. It is evident that, after the payment of each instalment, the residue is diminished in value, so that, if the tax is estimated as a perpetuity, its ratio to the capital represented by the annuity must in crease from year to year. The only question for the financier relates to the assumption on which invest ments of this kind are to be assessed. If, in point of fact, terminable annuities are habitually reduced to perpetuities by the holders, the Exchequer will be justified in regarding the excess of the annual pay ments above the ordinary interest of money in the light of instalments of capital. On the other hand, common experience will probably lead to the conclusion that annuitants are not, as a general rule, mere speculators in money. Where a principal sum is sunk in the pur chase of an increased income, the exaction of an equal percentage from temporary and perpetual annuities can inflict no hardship or inequality. The duration of the tax is equal to that of the income; and the same total impost is assessed on the sum invested in Consols in the one case, as on the amount laid out in an annuity in the other. It is possible that means might be devised for reducing the rate of taxation where security was given for the re-investment of the principal from time to time, so that income could not benefit by an exemption allowed to capital. In surance offices and money dealers will be able to judge whether such an arrangement would be prac ticable and convenient. If it cannot be contrived, the only future result of equality of assessment will be to discourage speculations of a peculiar kind in a highly artificial species of investment. There are considerations bearing on the tendency of an income. tax to raise the interest of money, which tend to that, even to dealers in annuities, the loss I. 3 l , t it i ( :l present system is necessarily less than the 1: Or t r ti l L e i which we have assumed for the sake of oonven i eneo . Our immediate purpose has been to show that the bona fide annuitant stands in an e ntirely different position from the speculator in securities. REGISTRA'fION. CITY OF LONDON.

A new and corn pletely organi ze d expedition aga i ns t C u ba is prepar ing, and unle ss thy sources of information are far less reliable than I suppose, some events of importance concerning the political fortunes of Cuba are likely to take place during the coming fall and winter. Let me first of all enumerate facts. 1. Foolish, wicked, and inopportune as the Lopez expedition may have been, his fate was lamented by a large class of cur people, aad the resolution to avenge his death hes never slap*. He was canonized as a martyr of liberty, and thousands who would never have justified his 'cts were reedy to punish his executioners. B:-sides, with him perished ignominiously more then forty native-born Ameri cans, none of whom fell unwept or unremembered. Even the magnanimous pardon extended by her Catholic Majesty Isabella to the American prisoners who experienced her clemency finally resulted in a very different manner from what her Maj.sty or her advisers could have supposed. Those captives re turned to tell not the history cf the rights they had infringed, but of the wrongs they had suffered. Among them were men from almost every one of our 31 states. Each had near connexions and rela tions with thousands that line wlircl luv, d him ; and when these thousands of districts'came to hear of the brutality of the Cuban triovL , rnment—the death of Lopez in the public square by the garrote, and the shooting of half a hundred Americans in the back, after they bad been compelled to kneel—all these recitals stirred an indignation in the hearts of our people which cannot be appeased except by the ex termination of Spanish power from that island. 2. The folly and blunders which ended in the mis carriage of the Lopez expedition have been detected, and they will be avoided in this new movement. The Americans have lost all confidence in the Creoles— they will not admit them into their councils— they will not trust, them at all. lam pretty confi dent that not a single Creole has been admitted to the secret society of the Lone Star. They are regarded as traitors. It was, in fact, clearly proved that Lopez had been betrayed; otherwise he would not have landed with so small a force, nor where he did, nor at that particular time. He was led into an ambush ! Americans have confidence in one another, but no body any longer believes the word of a Cubano. So the Americans will keep their own counsels, they will head their own expedition, and they will go more com pletely prepared for the contest. than any company of invaders e ever co uld have gone at any other period of the world's history. They will not carry Colt's rifles, which hold but six rounds, but Jenning's (re cently invented), which carry 24 charger , and can, in experienced bands, be shot 24 times in less than 60 secon d,. S. This ex edition and a shabby affair. His edition is a comp lete or g anizatien. Lopez' was an men were hastily picked up—generally poor, and many of them desperate. The Lone Star a dmits no man to its company whose social standing is not a fair pledge of his honour, truth, courage, and intelli gence. No organization of the same num b er h as beenfo a r n m d ed ch i a nA c m ter er r i e ca pr i e n t was eo much r wealth probably can raise millions on call, but character they likely to are not need it, for by their regulationrepresented. Theythere the common every member contri butes a certain sum i n t o nis emmon fund every month or quarter ; and, numbering the d Lone Star men now probably do, 25,000 their as f said to exceed half a million; the institutionu already notis yet six months old. Again, the Lon e Star i known to embrace many of the most influential p t, o and distinguished men in t he United States. Lopez had not a single man of wealth or public reputation with him. So far as close scrutiny could do i t, not a worthless or untrustworthy man out of 25,000 bas y e t been allowed to pass the threshold of this extraordi nary order. 4. Besides the wealth and social respectability o f their members, they have a large number of influen tial editors on their side ; and multitudes who will never join them sympathise with their cause. Among these are the myriads whose friends and relations suffered in the Lopez expedition, who have kindled a flame in almost every county in the Union, which can and will, at the proper moment, burst into a general conflagration. 5. The Administration of the new Captain-General has borne so heavily upon the island that a far greater amount of discontent exists now than at any former period. G-neral Conchs, the la'e Governor, was a modern man, of which Spain has had so few. His arrival was the daybreak of a brighter period for Cuba. So everybody said; so everybody believed. He entered at once on the path of wise, gradual, judicious reforms. He held out expectations of amelioration in all departments of the Government. He nearly succe , cleti in annihilating the most offen-ive and the most oppressive monopolies of the islands. He proved himself en honesr, an incor ruptible man. But the chiefest and greatest and boldest of all his reforms was to put an end to the slave trade. This was the first time the attempt had ever been successfully made. Could he have re mained in power one year longer, be would have utterly exterminated that accursed traffic. B u t, on authority which I cannot reject, I learn that the suspension of those crimes and abuses so materially diminished the revenues of tie Crown that this faith ful and upright servant was recalled. Another and less scrupulous man fills the place, who has gone back to the old system ; and now crime, corruption, and villanv fill the island, and the slave trade has not been in so flourishing a state for twenty-five years. You may not have this latter fact immediately confirmed by other testimony, but you will soon. There has not been, during the memory of the present genera tion, so cruel and tyrannical a Government in Cuba. So say the Cubans, Spaniards, and Creoles ; so say our American travellers ; and so say the crowded castles and dungeons of the island. Under the plea that our occupation of Cuba would end the slave trade there, the Northern States would join in and justify the movement ; and with the knowledge that Cuba would bring to the South nearly a million of slaves, the Southern States would do the same thing; while till Americans amid all friends cf liberty every where, would rejoice if so fair and fertile an island should (without crime or blood) fall under the mild and benignant sway of a powerful and we ll-organized Republic. So say the Lane Star men ; and there is certainly some force ia ell this. It is, at all events, persua sive, and every (ley brings them the adhesion of hundreds. 6 . Now let us look at some indabituble signs of public feeling in confirmation of all this. It seems that Archbishop H ug hes, of New York, on , being re quested by the Lone S t ar men, did say ' mass for the eternal repose 0f the s ouls of Lopez and his brave companions, fallen n t h e s truggle for Cuban liberty ;" prelat e re fuse=d to preach a sermon on the occasion. Also alth oug h the in N ew Orleans have similar religious e rtormed, which indicate that the cerem onies been P Lone Star m en the sympathy and countenance of have the Catholic Church.ve 7. The present state of the island of Cuba indi cates the probability of an approaching revolution. eariiror quite 150 persons have been arrested in various parts of the island, and are now in the prisons of Havannah. Nine young men who were enga ged in printing the Voice of the People of Cuba, a clandestine revolutionary sheet, have been arrested, and a telegraphic dispatch from New Orleans yesterday announces that they are all to be garroted. The present Governor Canada has made known his resolution to show no mercy to any per sons engaged in any conspiracy against his authority They shall all suffer the garrote, with every in dignity known in the annals of justice." No doubt exists that there was a determination to rise on the 31st of August, but the detection of large quantities of arms and ammunition in various parts of the island has probably delayed the insurrection. But it is only for a while. Continual diT'aturbances will occur, and the severity of the Captain-General will only inflame still more deeply the popular indignation, and render the revoluti on not only inevitable bat more merciless when it comes. It is said, on pretty good authority, that the nsgroes will join the conspi rators, and if independence can be gained in no other way there is to be a massacre of the Spanish popula tion. Certain it is that the Cubans are bent on achieving their independence; and they know that whenever they have once risen they can depend on substantial aid from the lona Star men of the United States. As things n ow look, it seem s hi g hl yp robable that a blo o d y struggle is approaching. —Correspondent of the Times. Tag EARLY CLOSING Assocumo re.—A numerously attended meeting of emp lo y ers and assistants, residing within the north-western districts of the metropolis, was held yes terday evening, at DIVISOII'd Rooms, Gower-street, to take into Consideration the best means of promoting th e early closing of shop s generally,and for the transaction of oth er business. Mr. Eliikor occupied the chair. Th e financial statement of the association showed that, up to June, 1852, the receipts of the association had been 9091. 16s. 10d. The payments amounted to 4981. 17s. 2d., leaving a balance in the bands of the bankers of 410/. 195. Bd. The Chairman, the bus iness of the meeting, st a t e d that the mon stopening rous system which the shop assistants laboured under would long since have been swept away if they had all in a vigorous movement to check it. The moral, joined physical, and intellectual evils of the late hour system were s uch that, if the public really knew of their extent Mr , they hear.. St. wo uld not tolerate them a moment.—( Rear , ) Clair proposed the first resolution, which pledged the meet ing to do all in its power to check the system of late closing: Mr. Shipton seconded the resolution, which was carried una nimously, and several other geatlemen having addressed the meeting, the proceedings terminated.
