A new and com pletely orgeld expediti on aga i ns t Cuba is prepar ing, and unless my s ources o f i dforma ti on ar e far leas relialke than I supp ose concerning th'e political ' some events 9 fortunes o f C u ba are likely to nce take place during the coming fall and winter. Let me arst of all enumerate facts. [PRICE SD. 1. Foolish, wicked, and inopportune as the Lopez expedition may have been, his fate was lamented by a large class of our people, and th e resolution avenge his death has never slept. lie was canonize d . Cho would allODlze_d_ as . a martyr of liberty, and thousand s w never have justified his acts were read y t perished ignominiously executioners. Besides, with him e punish ignominiously more than forty native-bo ra Ameri cans, none of whom fell a , 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 Majesty or her advisers could have supposed. Those captives re turgedito tell not the history of the rights they had infAbEid, but of the — wrinigs they had suffered. Among them wereemen from almost every one of our 31 states. Each had near connexions and rela tions with thousands that knew and loved him ; and when these thousifnds of districts to hear of the brutality of the Cuban GoverKment—the death of Lopez in the public square by the garrote, and the shooting of half a hundred Americans in the back, after they had 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 councilo r . they will not trust them at all. lam pretty confi dent fact, clearly proved that Lopez dent h that not a single Creole has been admitted to the 1 otherwise he would not have a force, nor where he did, nor at ,edeijeeiety of the Lon e Btat„Thpy are retar ded time. He was led into an ambush I confidence in a hlt A s a: nn Americans dt r eeaprdi beent ti t c o rwa r t nii s et . shu betrayed;hl s l aaor t v es wa a s 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 ever could have gone at any other period of the world's history. They will not carry Colt's r ifles, which hold but six rounds, but Jenning's (re cently invented), which carry 24 charges, and can, in experienced bands, be shot '24 times in less than 60 seconds. regulations h rci e en y m 1 whose social probably ever been fornTend Lopez' was an • impromptu and a shabby affair. His 3 . This expedition is a complete organizatien. men were ha s til y No organi o z n a r r, picked t many of them des - e The Lone Star admits no . . was so much wealth and man to its comp an P ra e. ch . i a n u r t acter represented. They fair pledge of his up—generally stand standing n g poor, ls no a t n d a truth, courage, and intelli gence.the Lone Star America in which there of the same number has can raise millions on call, need it, for by their re m are not likely to butes a certain sum into the comm on every member contri on fund every men now probably do, 25,000, thL as f said to exceed half a million ; th e month or quarter ; and: then f und already is yet six months old. Again, the Lone Star is not to embrace many of the most influentiaarl, is known opulent, and distinguished men in the Unite d States • Lopez had not a single man of wealth or public rep u t at ion with laiim So far as close scrutiny could do t w orthless or untrustworthy man o u t of 25 , 00 0 bas o y t e a t been allowed to pass the threshold of this extraordi nary order. 4. Besides the wealth and social respectability of 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. General Concha, the late 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 succeeded in annihilating the most offenive and the most oppressive monlpolies of the island 9. He proved himself an honest, 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 oilla year longer, he would have utterly exterminated that accursed traffic. But, on authority which I chnnot reject, I learn that the suspension of these crimes and abuses so materially diminished the revenues of the 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 Cuba. 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 anthdedCuunbgaenosn,s o Spaniards, ftheislan a d n . d C u r n eo d l e e r s ;fisleo pleasay tiou, so cruel and tyrannical a Government in j o u u s r tif A y m th e e ri m ca o n vem tr e a n v t el ; le a r n s d ; m a , n it d h so thesay knowledge aeasour wouldoccupation bring trade there, the Northern States would joi n in an d o e crow that de-d cStchaousa Cuba l a arly en a d slaves, the Southern States would do the thing; while same while all Americans and all friends of liberty every where, would rejoice if BO fair and fertile an island should (without crime or blood) fall under the mild and benignant sway of a powerful and well-organized m th i e l . lion of Republic. So say the Lone Star men ; and there is certainly some force in all this. It is, at all e vents, persua sive, and every day brings them the adhesion of hundreds. 6. Now, , let us look at isome i n dubitable signs of public feeli ng i i n confirmation of a ll this. It seems companions, Archbishop Hughes, of New Fork, on being re that quested by th e L one Star men, did say " mass for the eternal repose of the souls of Lo p ez and his brave uangihonths,efparlleelnateinrethfuessetdrutgogplreefaocrhCausbearnmolinbeL thetly; occasion. Also in New Orleans have simil religious ceremonies been performed, which indicat ar e that the Lone Star men have the sympathy and countenance of the Catholic Church. 7. The present state of the island of Cuba indi sates the probabilit3r of an approaching revolution. haveo p e t of been N e arly or q uite 150 persons have been arrested in var ious parts of the island, and are now in n l he prisons of Havannah.

The present Governor C d ane a bass made known his resolution to show no mercy to any per. authority s ons engaged in any conspiracy against his —" They shall all suffer the garrote, with every in dignity known in the annals of justice." N exists that there was a determination to rise on doubt 31st of August, but the detection of large on the of arms and ammunition in variou s quantities island has probably delayed the parts of the insurrection.d. But it is only for a while. Continu a l occur, and the severity of the Captain-Gener al disturbances will only inflame still more deeply the will and render the revolution not Popular indi g nation, Only inevitable but more merciless when it com e good authority, that the negroess. I will t is said, on pretty th e conspi rators,e can b and if independ enc join way there is to be a massacre of e pined in no other popula tion. Certain it i s th at the Spanish achieving their the Cubans are bent on whenever they have independence ; and they know t ha t e once risen they can depend on substantial aid from the Lone Star men of the United States. As thins g now look, it seems highly probable that a bloody I of the Time s s. struggle is approaching. —Correspondent a ttended meeting Til E EA RLY C LOSING ASSOCIATION. — A numerously the north- wes t ern di str i c ts of the metropolis , was held yes terday evening, o f employers and as sistants, residin g with in at Lawson's ROOlll5, Gower-street, to take into eansideration the best means of promoting the early chasin g of chops generally, and for the transaction of other business.

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 cf 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 read-money principle, have secured great oances, and conse quentyly their new styles for Autumn will be charged lower than on any previous season.

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR ON BOARD A DUTCH STEAMER. —On Monday afternoon information was forwarded to M eriour. W.s Payne, coroner for the Cit y , of the subjoined my st oc currence, which took place on board the screw-stea mer 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 Thames-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 o n 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. However, directions have been given to hold the investigation this (Tuesday) evening, which will no doubt be adjourned until the return of the Magnet.

SHREWSBURY AND BIRMINGHAM. At the adjourned meeting of this company, held at Wolverhampton yesterday, for the purpose of receiv ing the report of the scrutineers (Messrs. Beale and Peele) on the proposition made the previous day for amalgamating the Great Western, Shrewsbury and Birmingham, and Shrewsbury and Chester Corn panics, the following was declared to be the result of the poll : PERSONS PRESENT.

On the former occasion there was nothing which could conduce =to their confidence but now he was happy to say there were all the ele ments of success presented to them.— (Hear, hear.) They now started with public opi n i on both in Eng land and Holland in their: favonr._(Hear, hear.) They now started with treaties m a d e i n Holland and with the Netherlands Government • f or carrying out the completion of: the line; .a n d With a credit that would enable them to complete their financial ar rangements without appealing-I ta the pockets of the shareholders.—(Cheers.) All. thew features were such as fairly to lead to the conclusion that they should at least obtain a successful result with respect to the Dutch Rhenish Railway. „They would ob serve that, as to the financial, measure* the directors in Holland had obtained a bill with powers to raise 200,000/. 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 whichs during the two years that it was expected to require in construction, the Government bound itself to pay a;-very Dirge sum gAo of money as interest upon the capital.. th a t would be employed, amounting t ut which would be paid to them if they chose to rai l 'e e funds them selves wherewith to cotaßVe that , 4 Govern ment, however, reserved' tlib option 0 i t se lf advancing that money-400,0001., without charging interest, and that you should repay t he m in three years after the commencement of the works-1855 and 1856. They had the advantage of .the able and friendly assistance of Mr. Locke, who, at their urgent request, had sent over a responsible person to Holland to in spect the line minutely, and to form surveys and 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 of line pro duced about 35,0001. of annual revenue ; and when they considered that the expenditure upon it had not exceeded 1,000,0001., they 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 English proxies at the ensuing meeting of the shareholders, to be held in Am sterdam the Ist of October, be hereby instructed and empowered to pass the following resolutions:— " 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. Donker Curtius, for his able vindication of the rights of the share holders 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. HESLEDIM submitted a statement of traffic which he had compiled, bOth present and prospective. From the comparisons and calculations which he had made, he had some to the conclusion that the de velopment of traffic on the Dutch Rhenish would be such as to realise about 203. to 255. per share. This would not be realised in the beginning, because traffic was a thing of slow growth. Mr. LEWIN MOXEY moved as follows :—That the cordial thanks of meeting be presented to the English commissaries, and to their secretary, Mr. Henry C. Behe ; and that a committee consist ing of the following gentlemen, namely, Mr. Joseph Langton, Mr. Lewis Motley, and Mr. C. H. Jones, be appointed to conk- with the shareholders as to the best method of testif!ing their high sense of the services rendered to tie proprietors by the gentlemen referred to, who have so long and so ably protected the interests of the: shareholders, and to whose labours the present improved aspect of the af fairs of the company may, in a great measure, be attributed." Mr. CuutsTorrrea ZossEs seconded the resolution. The resolution was then passed, and the pro ceedings closed with tl e usual comp liment to the chair.

FROM THE MORNIFIG PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—We sa id t h e other day, and we said it to the credit of thi s country, that it as impossible to enumerate or comprehend the various acts and kinds of homage rendered to the Duke of Wellington Perhaps throughout Lis long career . we might now say the same of the honours that have been already offered to his memory. All parties, all schosls of opinion, men the most diff erent , add journals the most antagonistic, have agreed to touch with the gentlest possible hand their old grudges with the Duke and to swell one groat acclamation t o his patriotic a virtues w and colossal powers. The Dukei thorough aristocrat, and though he gave his advice, vote, and his influence for the people, yet he evidently s re garded them as a human mass to be respected for their power and feared for their violence, to bespar spared domestic ille, and saved from a foreign foe. Ho un derstood them as he understood an army or a general that he had to deal with ; but he had little more 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 ho has always been more re spected than loved by the extreme Liberal party. In truth, though it was s 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 reade± would see by a very able article inserted in our columns yesterday from a weekly cotempo ?ern- the extrema aectisset., 9f. the Liberals, shows s noble anxiety to do every possible justice to t a his great champion 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 qualities, in his entire loyalty and submission to the laws, 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 Northraens ideal roueeat enveloping in the dark folds of his the whole pageant of of which we have now seen the last. antiquity, An eq ually honourable example of candour and good sense has been shown in another unexpected and it appeared side by side with the English quarter. our yesterday's columns. The Assernblee essay in 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 as to incur the formal reproof of the Govern plainly meat. The facts of the Duke's life are so patent, so consecutive, and crowned with such a practical con clusion, that it requires great ingenuity to explain th e m 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 o ut what reall y cann ot 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 points 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 be 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. " May 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 be was cold, rigid, and calculating—in a word. the Tr.n Dukw. lie devotoa 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 theheadof the United Irishmen he might have achieved the independence of his country—and then woe to England 1 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 eme blaaonry of the silken banner of every country that hates England. What would , have been the conse quencefthe ourse ? The field of Waterloo might have been another Fontenoy. This delighful daydream, pathetic regrets, we give in the very words Galway contemporary. Such is the last touch that w as 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. I\i'llale, the probable writer of the article we quote, he would have learnt to es timate at its proper value th e serv i ce of his Sovereign, and he could have realised the romance of Celtic do minion. What might Ireland, what might Arthur Wesley, what might Dr. M'H a l e h ave become- under such auspices ?

CHRONICLE.—It is not surprising that, in the discussions on the income-tax, the case of short an nuitants should have b e en put forwa rd more promi nently than even the alleged grieva nce sustained by professional men and traders. The g r n ea n t ni tan tg majority; of and holders of property are in fact the original intention of those whoe devised a the form of security more commonly known Government Annuities , was to n by the name of facilitate the operation of sinking capital for the pur pose of increasing the available income of indiv i duals. In . the ordinary tenure of a terminable .annuity, there is no peculiarity species of income from any other to distinguish th is kind of revenu e fairly liable to taxation. Th e jointurer or life inc.umhcancer on land pays the im post as long ite his interest continues ; and the pur- 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 deceased 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 her interest is the same, as well as the annual revenue. Yet it will be found that, while only a few careless 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-tax concur in asserting that a termi nable annuity ought only to be assessed on the intee 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, t 4 larger holders of terminable annui ties. The preference which they give to this class of securities is founded piatly 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 o . f the principal su m, which ob viates the necessity of selling out stock to meet the demands w hi ch companies, in short capitalists, periodically arise. The insurance have no , well as other speculative petuity. There ult7 ' no gerpose sinking money in a terminable annuity rAtio or it would except to reconvert it into a per t .of course, a profit on the epe e be effected ; but the banker and the actuary interest due on ' and ailathcome habitilliedivide an annuity into the se' money, and the Wad meats nicessaffto re which is sunk at the beginning ca P itah ' The sum at the end, still subject to the of the term emerges new form of investment ; tax under any exagge rated statements of the grievance haveough most published, it may be admitted that, in been repeatedly all others in which capital is hardlyln this d case; as in from income, the principle of equal assessmentistinguished poses a discouragement on one particular teid im poses in vestment. The ordinary method of replacingeof capital consists in the annual employment of i the the excess of the annuity, over the interest of the pur chase money, in buying other annuities of the 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 iu 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. its 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. Gd.. while, if 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 281. ss. Gd. In other words, his loss in 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 ti bles which have been published for the purpose 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 t colusion that annuitants are not, as a general rul h e, e 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 show that, even to dealers in annuities, the loss under the present system is necessarily less than the proportion which we' have assumed for the sake of convenience. t Our immediate purpose has been to show that the bona fide annuitant stands in an entirely different position from the speculator in securities.

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 of accounts, which have already been published, having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report. Mr. Moons (a director) seconded the motion. Mr. KAYE (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/. 143. 3d. ; for the half-year ending 31st of January, 1852, to 7,4271. ; 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 6,9681. 35., 'Sr at the rate of 14,0001. a year. The directors had now taken the management of the maintenance of way into their own hands, 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 bands. 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 he, 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, 11. 15s. 7d. ; three-quarter share , 11. 3s. 7d.; quarter share, 9s. 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 before 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 approved by the Minister of the Home Department, it 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 1,000,0001 receivable from Government. 2. The y from Arnheim t o the frontiers. Mr. Jose p h Locke, M.P., bad 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 1,440,0001, would cover the whole cost. 3. The way from Utrecht to Rotterdam. The designs would have to b e worked out a fresh, but this would make no diffe rence in the estimated cost, which would amount, according to Mr. Brassey's estimate, to 190 , 0001., exclusive of th e cost of s ign als, turn-tables, stations, &c. 4. The cost of mat e riel. This the directors estimate at 1,800,000f1., or 150,000/., not including co al 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 line and balance of Rotter ••• •• ••• 960,000 80,000 dam line ..• Prussian Extension line contract... 1,440,000 120 000 Rotterdam line di02,880,000 240,000 150,000 Materiel 1,800,000 Total ...fl 7,080,000 £590 , 000 Of the above, 1 , 200,000., or 100,0001., will be im mediately required for expropriations, and for ratifi cation of contracts for delivery of materzel. The report goes on further to say, that the sum of 4,800,000 A. can be obtained from Government according to article 12 of the agreement entered into; and that only about 2,400,000f1. will remain to be found, of which sum 1,200,00011, or 100,000/., will 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 9,000,000f1., 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 saTies, to be appointed by ymir meeting, and by 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 directors anticipate such an increase of traffic as would warrant the laying of a double line throughout, the cost of which was estimated at 1,440,000 A., or 120,0001., and would be increased to 3,000,000 ft., 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 provided at the joint expense of the two companies. Mr. CHARLES HOLLAND, the chairman, said the meeting had been convened by the English commi s _ series, with the full concurrence of the dircetion i n 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 Rail way , as they could not have that opportunity in Amster.. dam on the let 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 awar e that the resolu tions this meeting might p ass could not be clothed with any legal official character, there still could be no doubt, fr o m the united purp os e a nd perfect harmony which existed between the shareholders in England, and the directors in Holland, that that re sult would have due 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 LECTORS An objection having been taken to the names o f three collectors of the assessed taxes, upon the ground of their being servants of the Crown, •~ . ~~, ~ f the e ot Ind the the iril 11e► I nd Dok eye 69 ' 60 '6 O . . b il 4 6 ' ' 01 a tr o t as 'tai . e le Wif V c, C. rife °I
