A d f? fk-) ~<it''•~ % 441 3 , 4! ' . • 'Z . -Q.lLn , 5 4,6 r. vextin e • LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEXBER 9, 1852. What will be done with th eo i rnearse an.a g interest. Tax ? The inquiry is one a ve Pr al P r e e r ad t : On the answer that may be returned de l : of the Ministry, and (far more imp ort : n en : the fate and prosperity of the country. We ~.' e welfare proved that the tax must be renewed i n some term, No Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether Whig, Tory, or Radical, can afford to abandon so profitabl e a source of revenue , from whence five and a-half millions are annually- obtained. Mr. DISRAELI w ill certainly make no such attempt. He mil rather seek to remit some of the most obnoxious imposts, to re lieve those who are suffering under gross and palpable Injustice—and there is much injustice in our present fis cal system—than to impose new and perhaps more in equitable charges, either upon the entire community, or upon any particular class or classes. It i s certain that no duty on human food will be proposed, for the purp ose o f Revenu e or P ro t ec tion. The recent r Election has effectually and permanently disposed of, ~. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 9, 1852. that subject. Lord DERBY long since—in the beginning of March, 1851 when announcing the failure of the attempt to form a Protec tionist Ministry, emphatically stated, that un less the country, on the next appeal, pronounced distinctly in favour of the principle, the question should be set at rest for ever. What has since oc curred shows that the declaration was made in the most perfect sincerity—that the most talented col league of the Noble Lord fully concurred in the decision, and that the new policy has been accepted by every person of any importance or influence con nected with the party. In the absence, then, of such impost, the Property-tax must be renewed, either in in its present or some modified form, unless we are prepared to submit to a permanent deficiency, and a regularly increasing excess of expenditure a course which Mr. DISRAELI Will not be prepared to propose or sanction. Will it then be renewed in its present form ? Such a proposition might emanate from Sir CHARLES Wool3,—who so frequently showed his stubborn and unyielding obstinacy on the point, and who pre ferred the destruction of the Cabinet of which he was a Member, to any graceful concession to public opinion, —but not from Mr. DISRAELI. That Right Hon. Gentleman was one of the Committee appointed to inquire into the working of the tax, and to consider by what means it might berendered more equitable ; he is, therefore, thoroughly cognizant of the injustice and impolicy of the present system, and also of the various remedies that have been submitted for. its amelioration. He has had ample time to reflect thereon ; and has, doubtless, fully determined on the plan on which be will stake his fiscal reputation, and the permanence of the Government. That, however, still rests in his own mind, or has only been commu nicated to a few leading Members of the Ministry. The public, however, have as yet no certain data, we can therefore only speculate on what ought to be, taking into account the disturbing influences that will operate unfavourably to, and very probably pre vent the adoption of, any sound and equitable adjust ment. Mr. DIsREALI is not one to exclaim, " Video meliora proboque, deteriora sequor." We do not believe that he would willingly bring forward a mea sure of which he did not conscientiously approve ; but great allowance must be made for his position, and the materials with which he is obliged to work ; and we fear that complete justice cannot be ren dered to the industrious classes in a Parliament constituted as it now is. Considerable progress may, however, be made in the right direction, and that we anticipate from the Right Hon. Gentleman. The Tax, then, will be modified, and most probably increased to some extent, and rendered more general in its application. There can be no sufficient reason why Ireland should be exempted from its operation. Assistance, and that of the most valuable description, might be rendered to the people, and to the full extent , of the amount levied ; bat property, wherever situated, is the legitimate subject of taxation—and exemption to Ireland is neither more nor less than gross injustice to Great Britain. We know not whether Mr. DISRAELI wiU take this view of the saject ; but should he do so, he will be sustained by the Parliament and people of the United Kingdom. And even in Ireland the measure would be popular when it was ascertained that Ministers were in (LrLest in their efforts to de velope fully the great, but sadly neglected, natural resources of the country. The basis of the taxation will also probably be ex tended-1001, or perhaps 601., per annum being made the starting point in place of 1501. as at present. The number of contributors would thereby be doubled or, if the smaller sum were selected, trebled by the change. It would be far better that no exemption whatsoever should be allowed. It is in consequence of the " exemption " that fraudulent evasions are chiefly resorted to. But so long as " in come" is taxed as well as property, there must be exemptions. There is a scale of earning so low that it cannot be charged. We cannot come on the wages of the labourer earning 15s. or 203. per week. If accumulated and realized property alone were taxed, and industry freed, until its profits were in vested, when they would of course become liable— the exemptions might be abolished, and the evasions would be hardly practicable. It has been truly stated, that the "returns under Schedule A are made by disinterested, under Schedule D by interested, parties. In the one case there is great facility for detection, in the other detection is very difficult." Mr. PRESSLY, in his evidence on the subject of eva sion, says—" We get every penny upon the dividend, and every penny upon a man's salary; all that we do not know is the profits of a man's trade, but in all the other schedules it is collected to a penny without any disclosure whatever." Mr. TILL gives similar testi mony. He says " Under Schedule A there is little or no difficulty. A man produces his lease, and the question is settled as to the value of his property; but with regard to Schedule I), there is no doubt that considerable difficulty presents itself in the Commissioners satisfying themselves that they are making a right decision ; it in reality must be taken, generally speaking, according to the conscience or will of the party who comes to appeal or make the return." The frauds and evasions, so demoralizing in their operation—the inquisitorial character of the Tax, so loudly and justly complained of —are all ascribable, therefore, to the attempt to tax industry ; and all the reasonable objections to the impost would be at once removed, by rendering it really a property and not an Income-tax. The reduction would not be so very great. The amount of temporary incomes from trades and pro fessions, &c., may be taken in round terms at one third of that arising from accumulated and realized property. This is the proportion generally adopted, and it nearly agrees with that of Mr C. WILLiou, whose excellent letter on the subject appeared in our impression of yesterday. Mr WILLICH is a compe tent witness ; he has entered into very elaborate cal culations on the subject, which he thoroughly under stands. If, then, anything like a fair allowance were made for the difference between fixed and permanent incomes and fluctuating and temporary—if the latter were only charged at one-sixth, or even one-fourth, of the former (either being much higher than its just proportion), the total abolition of the tax on income would only lessen the receipts by one-eighteenth or one-twelfth of the total amount to be received. But as the capital embarked in trade, commerce, manufac tures, or agriculture, would still be fairly chargeable, the loss would be far less—not more, probably, than one-thirtieth or one-fortieth part of the entire receipts —a matter of comparatively trivial importance, when compared with the vast benefits that would result from rendering industry perfectly free, and conciliating the affectionate respect of the working classes for the honest Parliament that recognized their claims. The frauds and evasions, too, would be avoided the demoralizing influence that unfortunately induces so many of our fellow-subjects to become habitual violaters of the law of the land would also be removed. These blessings would be cheaply purchased at a much higher price than one-thirtieth of the charge; but even for that there would be an ample equivalent in the removal of all exemptions. Property, whether real or personal, if producing only a single pound per annum, is fairly liable to taxation ; and there would be no necessity, in such case, for either exemption or graduation of the Tax. Both, however, become essential, Property tax as or at least judici o u s and p ro p er, when indus try is c harged. We, therefore, feel convinced, that much, if not more, wou ld be realized by a alone than by a Property and Income-tax. Can there, then, be any doubt or difficulty as to what course ought to be pursued ? What will be done is another question. We fear that the masses are not sufficiently represented, or the humble voter suffi ciently protected in the exercise of the franchise, to induce the Legislature to take so sagacious and equi table a view of the subject. There is still too much class legislation. The Parliamentary Dives is teuscarcelyailee of y the yet prepared to relinquish his hold on the purse of f l t l ile toiling Lazarus, or to place the entire principl e wed and realized of the nati ona l li a biliti es , an d th e ma i n • national establishments, on accumu ao be property. The people must there foreconnted with a gradual approximation to the sound and to obtain th e ir j us t r i g ht s by moderate instalments. America has lost her great son in DANIEL —=7---- WEBSTER, as England lost hers only a few mo n th s since in ARTHUR , DUKE or W E matter of ptculiar regret to us th at cam. It is a the most illustri ous among the citizens of the United States in our gene- ration should have passed awayalmost immediately aft( r the displey of the most lamentable incapacity as an ad ministrator. Had DANIEL WEBSTER expired only a few months previous to the actual period of his de mise, he would have left a reputation unmarred by the remembrance of many undignified blunders, and much unstatesmanlike vituperation. It is a curious circumstance, however, that the renowned orator has disappeared from the stage of life under an aspect somewhat similar to that which marked the closing scene in the existence of one of his most eminent contemporaries. QIIINCEY ADAMS died, it will long be borne in recollection, but very shortly after the utterance of those intemperate words of scorn directed against Great Britain, which all but rang the tocsin of war, and all but lighted one of those brands of popular fury,which, in the generality of instances, re quire the exhaustion of rivers of human blood before they can be effectual extinguished. The departure from this world of DANIEL WEBSTER has, in truth, occurred under similar auspices. He has breathed his last, whilst there are still ringing in our recollec tion his haughty and irritating references to the course lately pursued by the English Government. There is another reflection, moreover, which cannot fail to enhance in every generous mind, on hearing of his demise, the consequent and profound sense of melancholy. His career was incomplete. He fell in the great race before reaching the goal. He has fallen to rise no more ; and this, too, precisely at the very moment when his admirers were looking forward with eager hopes, and some of them with confident expectations, that his dearest wishes would prove to have been on the eve of their realization. His hand was palsied by death at the very instant when it was stretched out to seize the bauble of the four years' power devolving upon the fortunate candidate chosen to the Presidency. Although he had reached the age of seventy—having been born on the 18th of January, 1782, at Salisbury, and having died on the 24th of October, 1852, at Marshfield—DANlEL Wen 3TER must still be regarded among the luckless cata logue of those distinguished men who have expired while standing, as it were, on the very brink of the fulfilment of their loftiest ambition. It is true that he has not been stretched in his coffin while yet in the prime and bloom of his manhood—as was the case with poor CHARLES BULLER, when the highest offices of the State seemed opening up to his appreciated abilities as an administrator, or as was the case again with poor WILLIAM FOLLETT, one of the ablest advo cates that ever graced the Bar of England, and who, it can never be forgotten by those who knew and honoured the scope of his commanding intellect, passed away into the grave, while his fingers were actually closing upon the seals and ermine of the Chancellor. Not such, it is true, has been the pre mature decease of DANIEL WEBSTER, but still a de cease eminently sad in its appeal to the popular sympathy—for WEBSTER, at the period of his dissolu tion, was considered by many of his fellow-citizens a likely successor to the curule chair of WASHINGTON. It is interesting, profoundly interesting, to us as fellow-creatures fated to pass through the same mortal extremities, to observe the awful serenity with which the strong Public Man appears to have watch e d th e on-corning moment of his inevitable dissolution. His entreaty to one of his intimate friends, " Don't leave me till I am dead—don't leave Marshfield till I am a dead man"—his muttering to himself in an undertone—" On the 24th of October, all that is mortal of DANIEL WEBSTER will be no more"—his incoherent reminiscence of GRAY'S " Elegy," by re peating indistinctly, " Poet, poetry, GRAY, GRAY"— his joyful recognition of the first line of it when read to him, " That's it, that's it"—are all of them inci dents characteristic of the man of courage and sensi bility, of the scholar and, of the Christian. Imme diately before dissolution, he appears to have spoken of the difficulty of the process of dying; and on the verse being recited to him, "Though I walk through the shadow of death I will fear no evil ; for Thou art with me ; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort Mb"—he exclaimed, " The fact, the fact ! That is what I want ! Thy rod ! Thy rod ! Thy staff ! Thy staff I" And these were his last words—and so he ex piced. America, according to our latest dispatches from the opposite side of the Atlantic, has already evinced her willingness to honour the memory of her great tribune, the departed statesman. The citizens of the United States appear to have understood the worth of his career, the dignity of his intellect, and the sig nificance of his character. They appear to have compre hended to the full the truth that,:in DANIEL WEBSTER, they have lost not merely the most remarkable of their orators, but one of the noblest and one of the truest types of a genuine American. They remem ber the grand old figure of his father—" a remarkable man, six feet in height, and of commanding appear ance," who rose from the rank of a common soldier to that of captain, while fighting bravely under Worzei during the invasion of the Canadas. They have not forgotten that both EZEKIEL and DANIEL WEBSTER approved themselves in after years the worthy sons of a worthy stock as the offspring of ABIGAIL (née EASTMAN) and her husband, old EBENEZER—any more than they have forgotten that the second of these sons (the one over whose tomb they are now lamenting) was born, by a coincidence, sufficiently curious as having oc curred to a person so illustrious, in the very last year of the memorable revolution. Everything com bines, indeed, to incite the more public-spirited citi zens of the United States, to evidence, by some honourable tokens of gratitude, the sincerity with which DANIEL WEBSTER is regretted, under every consideration, by the great mass of his fellow. coun trymen. In testimony of the fervour and of the dif fusions of their regrets for the great man recently deceased at Marshfield, we find that everywhere the intelligence of his death was received through out the whole States with marks of the pro foundest dejection. The Courts were at once adjourned at Albany, at Syracuse, at Pittsburgh and in other localities. The newspapers were published in mourning in Charleston. Meetings in token of respect were forthwith called together in Baltimore. The bells of the churches, of the public buildings, and of the workshops, were all tolled at Harrisburgh. Places of business were closed in Rochester. The county offices were draped in black at Philadelphia. Flege were half-mast high at New Orleans ; the public edifices were closed, and minute guns fired from sunrise to sunset. America gives proof indeed, is ali directions, that DANIEL WEBSTER'S demise, in the seventy-first year of his age, is regarded as a public calamity by the vast majority of the United States population. Death has in this manner, towards the close of 185 c), overshadowed the Councils both of the United States and of tho United Kingdom—for while America was preparing to pronounce by p u bli c acts the importance of the Funeral of WEBSTER, England has been engaged in arranging all the necessary preliminaries for the gorgeous and national obsequies Of WELLINGTON. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON'S FIINERAL.--The works at St. Paul's are being carried on with very much in creased rapidity as the time for their compulsory termination approaches. Upwards of 700 men were employed in the in terior yesterday, and the number will probably be increased between this and Saturday, when Messrs. Cubitts expect to have finished their labours. The Emperor of Russia has selected, to attend the funeral of the late Duke of Wellington, three officers of most distinguished service and high rank, namely, General of Infantry Prince Gortzakow ; Major- General Count Benkendorf, Imperial Military Commissioner; and a colonel. We are requested to state that the second session of the Convocation of the Clergy of the province of Canter bury, will be held on the 12th inst., at a quarter before 11 o'clock, in the Jerusalem Chamber, at Westminster. REPRESENTATION OF ABINGDON.—We are informed that Mr. J. T. Norris, of Sutton -Courtney, possessing con siderable influence in the borough and its vicinity, will be a candidate for the seat vacant by the death of Major-General Caulfield. SWEARING IN OF THE NEW LORD MAYOR.--Yes terday Alderman Challis, the Lord Mayor for the ensuing year, was sworn into office in the Guildhall, with the usual formalities. UNITERSITY COLLEGE, LONDON.—The council held their first session for the academical year 1852-1853 on Saturday last. Thanks were voted to the Rev. Thomas Dale, vicar of St. Pancras, for his sermon, preached in the parish church, in aid of the funds of the hospital, on the 31st Oct., when the collection amounted to upwards of 160/., and Mr. Dale was appointed a life governor of the hospital. The following prizes were awarded : The Fellowes Clinical medals to Mr. Thomas Hillier (silver), and to Mr. Joseph Gamgee (gold); . the Longridge prize of 401. for general the Andrews a s n c scholarships 1 Natural arships forp hilporsootehiyenteoy pro ficiency in medicine and surgery to Mr. William Roberts ; in Latin, Greek, A Mr. Thomas Bey (501.), an d to Mr. Thomas Savage (704) Mr. David Mas on , M.A., was appointed profeesor of English Language and Mathematics, Literature, LIVERPOOL RACES.

The cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was steady, and prices underwent no particular change. The sales amounted to 5,000 bales, including 300 Surat for export, and consisting• of about 3,500 Am erican, 50 Parnam and Maranham at 61-1, 12 Behia at 7d.; 1,800 Egyptian at 7' 4 3 1 to Jed. ; 800 Surat at 3d. to 51.; and 25 Sea Islands at 2s. id. to 2s. 31. Railway shares were firm, and a good business was done. The official return of the Trade and Navigation of the United Kingdom for the month ended Oct. 10th, has been issued. The imports of cocoa amounted to 324,185 lbs, which, as compared with those of the corresponding month of the previous year shows a slight decrease ; and in coffee there was a falling off of 2,438,416 lbs. The imports of wheat increased 15,224 qrs ; cotton manufactures increased to the amount of 9,7701, flax to the extent of 38,219 cwts, hemp 36,485 cwts, linen manufactures to the value of 1,8691., rice to the extent of 81,276 cwts, salt- petre 46,779 cwts, raw silk 334,391 ibs, thrown 15,375 ibs, European silk manufactures 7,777 lbs. and spirits 38,218 proof gallons. In the imports of sugar there appears a decrease of 64,623 cwts., but in unmanufactured tobacco an increase of 1,723,4391b5. Of wines the imports are less by 311,566 gallons. The exports have been larger in coals and culm, being 433,304 tons, cotton manufactures, cotton yarn by 283,664 lbs., linen yarn by 769,308 lbs:, and thrown silk by 4,570 lbs , and soap by 4,234 cwts. Refined sugar decreased 9,404 cwts., and woollen yarn 1,886 cwts. In the declared value of the imports of woollen mannfactures, there is an augmentation of 172,8541. The total exports of the month were 7,382,2921. against 6,346,9941., in the corresponding month of 1851. The shipping employed in the foreign trade of the United Kingdom during the month to October 10, amounted to 611,066 tons inwards, and 748,635 tons outwards, against 799,340 tons inwards, and 674,064 tuns outwards, at the like period of 1851. The tonnage of vessels employed in the coasting trade entered inwards and cleared outwards during the month, was as follows : ENTERED INWARDS. 1852 ... ... ... ... 1,124,581 1851 ... ... ... ... 1,026,952 Increase, ... 95,7119 CLEARED OUTWARDS, 1852 ... 1,273,688 1851 ... ~. 1,273 394 Increase this year, ... 294 The demand for bills on India has become more moderate during the last fortnight, the total amount drawn by the Hon. East India Company being only 41,7101, of which 26,1951. were on Bengal. The rate is now 2s. ld. per rupee. The advance expected in the price of silver has taken place, all that was brought by the Magdalena having been sold for shipment to the East Indies. The bar silver was disposed of at ss. lid., an advance of no less than *l. per ounce. The dollars were taken at ss. Oid. It is probable that this sudden rise would not have occurred, for it exceeds by far the ordinary movement in the bullion market, if the dealers in India had not already entered into contracts which compel them to purchase on almost any terms. The demand from that quarter satisfied, there will probably be a reaction, but the ques tion remains what amount will the Indian mar kat really absorb ? The increase of cultivation in our Eastern territories, the formation of railways by means of British capital, and the expenditure for the Burmese war, will all account for the large sums in specie taken from England, as we cars hardly assume that the balance of trade i 3 so far wail - Ist, us as to require these constant remittances. The necessity of increasing our gold coinage, by bringing out 15s. and perhaps even Si. pieces, will force itself ere long upon attention, for should the drain of silver continue, even the alloy in our coin might not pre vent its being purchased for exportation.

ILLNERS OP THE MARQUIS OF NORMANBT.--W43 re. gret to state that the Marquis of Normanby is confined by severe indisposition at Mulgra►e Castle. His Lord ship is suffering from a slight attack of paralysis, brought on by congestion of the liver. We are, however, happy to state, that his Lordship is going on most favourably. STRANGE HALLUCINATION.—A German, residing in Paris, a hatter, lately lost his reason from grief at the death of his wife, and fancied himself made of glass. He was accustomed to tell people not to approach him too near, lest they should break him; and for the same fear he scarcely moved, and could with difficulty be persuaded to eat. Last week he hanged himself. A letter left on the table stated that he had voluntarily put an end to his existence to avoid being broken to pieces. Ti)trb brittott+ LIVERPOOL RACES. (THIS DAY.)

The civic " show," on Lord Mayor's Day, which Lon doners, for centuries past, have always looked forward to with pretty much the same degree of certainty as they anticipated the return of the four seasons of the year, has actually been dispensed with, and the streets of the great city, to-day, presented a total absence of that ex citement and bustle which, at least within the recollec tion of the oldest inhabitant, has always been witnessed on the occasion of the Lord Mayor's trip to Westmin ster, on the 9th of November. The main thoroughfares were not, as is ordinarily the case on the " Show" days, entirely closed, and the traffic through them being wholly uninterrupted, the business in the City was carried on as usual; and no doubt those of the eitizons who prefer attending to busi ness rather than engaging in civic processions, felt gratified at the change. The determination of the Corpo ration to do away with the procession and banquet, on this 9th of November, has certainly met with the public approbation; and it will, perhaps, not be the least honourable record in the'ennale of the city, that, wedded as they naturally are to old customs, they, out of respect to the memory of the illustrious dead, allowed the day to pass over without any public pageant or feasting. lusttad of proceeding by water, the Lord Mayor, and those who on such occasions take part in the proces sion, went to Westminster in their private carriages. The new Lord Mayor then proceeded through the hall to the Court of Exchequer, accompanied by the late Lord Mayor, the Recorder, th© Sheriff's, and the Mace-bearer, and several members of the Court of Al dermen and Common Council. The Judges on the bench were the Lord Chief Baron and Barons Alderson, Platt, and Martin. The RECORDER in a brief compamentary address in troduced the new Lord Mayor to the learned barons. He stated that Mr. Alderman Challis, who had been elected to the high office of Chief Magistrate for the ensuing years was a native of the City of London, and had for many years been respected and honoured by his fellow-citizens, in consequence of his success in business, and his activity and benevolence in connexion with the various charities of London. Upon the death of Mr. Alderman Wood, the Wad of Cripplegate selected Mr. Challis as t heir aldermen, and he had discharged his magisterial func tions mist satisfactorily. In 1846, he was elected Sheriff of London ; and he had performed the duties of that important office with great honour to himself. At the last goieral election ho was returned, after a contest, as the representative in Parliament of the Borough of Finablvy, by one of the largest majorities that had ever sent a hlember to that assembly. He was subsequently propowl as Lord Mayor for the ensuing year, and elected with entire unanimity. In the course of his speed the Learned Recorder alluded to the death of the Dike of Wellington in the following terms:—lf his Lordthip had not come, upon this occasion, attended by all th) pageantry which have severally accompanied his predessors, it has not been from any desire to abridge in tie slightest the just splendour of his office. It has been from a feeling which I am sure your lordships will le the first to acknowledge—a deferenceto the senti montwhich would have forbidden any festive demonstratin while the nation was waiting to pay the last and most solenn tribute of respect to the memory of one of the groa!est heroes of the age . The CHIEF BARON complimented the Lord Mayor on the high and honourable position which ho had attained, and said he had no doubt he would ably acquit himself in the discharge of his onerous and important duties. His lordship also alluded to the recent loss sustained by in ta ew the nation in eloquent terms, entirely approving of the feeling which had forbidden the usual display under the present circumstances. The swearing in was thln proceeded with. At the c o o f n t c h lu e 3 7 ,the Lord Mayor and tho rest , and returned in their car riages to the Mansion-house, The Learned Recorder sc io iv n ic of p t a h r e ty ce vv re i intimated to the Judges, previous to his departure, that though on the present occasion the customary banquet would not be given this evekin— g in the Guildhill, his Lordship begged permission to invite them to ono at some future day.

(Before tho Lord C hancellor. ) Isis Lordship sat this morning to he ar appeels, but no case of public interest was brought before him. The other Courts were occupied with part•beard cases. MOAUMENT TO THE LATE THOMAS HOOD. ----.,-- We are gl a d t o l ea — rn that a subscription has be en commenced for erec ti ng a monument in Kensal•green Cemetery, to th e memory o f Thomas hood. Amongst the subscrib ers are, t h e Duke of Devonshire, Letd Charles Duke, M.P., M r . M acau l a y, M.P., Mr. Disraeli, Di. Brougham, Earls of Carlisle and Ell esmere, Sir Jame s MICA Y , D oug l as Jerrold, Westland Marston , Eliza Cook, Mi ss Mi t f or d, an d others. It is, we believe, chiefly owing to the powerful and tou chin g a pp eals to the public made by Eliza Cook —a poetess whom Hood himself would have been proud to call a sister—that this movement has proved so tar successful. Miss Couk acts as treasurer to the fund, but we shall be happy to receive subscriptions and forward them to that lady. The quiet and unostentatious manner in which 1761. have been already subscribed, is a great honour to the fair projec tor and her cooperators. Hood was a great poet and a good man, and the lady who is effecting this record to his worth is doing a womanly and noble act. Among the local subscribers are Mr. Ald. Turton, Mr. Ald. Mat thews, Jos. and W. Turton, Esqrs., Asline Ward, Esq., C. H. and W. Waring, Esqrs., of Haworth Hall, Bother haM.—Sheffield independent. _ THE SHARE MARKETS. BRITISH RAILWAYS. Railways.
