TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. would beg to submit for the consideration of the press and the public, a very simple plan of adjusting the Income-tax as nearly as possible to the value of the income, a tax on the individual value being quite im possible. Value every Si. of all incomes from landed, funded, corporate, and other permanent capitals at 1001.—value every 41. of all life-interests, annuities, pensions, and other terminable incomes at 1001., and value every 51. of all other incomes from trades, professions skill and industry, &c., at 1001., and assess each aCis. 9d. per cent. on their respective values, which would be equal to an income-tax of 21. 18s. 4d., 21. 3s. 9d., and 1/. 15s. per cent., and would give very little trouble in the calcu lation, as nothing could be more simple than is. 9d. for every 31., 4/., or 51. of an income, as the case might be. I don't think, Mr. Editor, that you can improve much on this plan, or devise another more fair and satisfactory.- -Your obedient servant, ROBERT SEATON. 20, Arlington-street, Myddleton-square, - 17th Nov., 1852. ?SE TREASURES OP APSLEY SOUSE. It can be no injustice to the second Wellington to say' that for a long time Apsley-house will continue to sug gest the idea of one occupant only, and, if his Grace will permit us to make the observation, we may venture to remark that he could scarcely act more judiciously than in encouraging so natural a sentiment, and contributing by some regulated display of his inherited trophies to the maintenance of those impressions which have now for two months past monopolised the minds of Englishmen. The treasures of Apsley-house are so rich, so rare, so historical, and yet so eminently personal in their associa tions, that they would almost serve to bring the Great Duke again before our eyes. No such monuments remain of Napoleon in Paris, of Frederick the Great at Potsdam, or even of Marlborough at Blenheim. Perhaps the con temporaries of Colonel Henry Esmond may have been able to discern in the ducal mansion of the Churchills some lively suggestions of Marlborough's victories ; but in the present day, if such recollections are not carried to Woodstock-park by the visitor himself, they will hardly be created by what he sees there. In Apsley house every relic, every picture, and every ornament will speak for years of the very warrior who but this week was deposited in his tomb. The tales, too, which they tell are all absolutely national. There is a legend, of history at every corner. One glittering token sym bolizes the gratitude of the whole Portuguese nation, de livered from oppression and slavery by Wellesley and his army in the great Peninsular war. Another embodies the public acknowledgments of this mighty metropolis to its protector. A third testifies to the obligations of an Em peror ; a fourth to the esteem of a Sovereign. The very pictures tell of battles gloriously won, of enemies in head long rout, of the spoils and prizes of victorious war. A thousand minor thank-offerings perpetuate the senti ments of cities and communities, soldiers and civilians, princes and people, all over the world. ' Hindoos and British Indians, field officers and corporations, great companies and individuals, have all in turn carried their substantial homage to the house of Wellington. Surely such memorials of the national hero might be occasion ally made visible to the public with gratification on all sides and risk on none ? It would, indeed, be no more than a graceful recognition of popular feeling and dis cernment if the Duke of Wellington could be induced to make some exposition of these historical treasures to a nation which has just shown how truly it can value them. For, after all, it was not by the troops, nor the music, nor the blaionry, nor the pomp, nor the cavalcade that the greatness of Thursday's pageant was really consti tuted—it was by the universal and voluntary homage of an entire people.— Times. STATE OF THE STREETS (THIS DAY).—This morning Ludgate-street, Ludgate-hill, and Fleet-street, presented a most extraordinary appearance in consequence of the incessant rain during the last two days, which has almost rendered those thoroughfares impassable for foot passen gers, in consequence of the gravel which was laid down on the carriage-way on Thursday mixing with the rain, whereby the drains were stopped up in many places, and the foot-pavement flooded to a very disagreeable extent. Where are the street orderlies or the scavengers ? TEMPLE-BAR (THIS DAY).—At an early hour this morn ing workmen were to be seen on the upper part of Temple-bar, Fleet-street, busily employed in removing ortions of the decorations. The recent heavy rain has much injured the ornaments and siver work. THE FUNERAL OF THE DUKE.—Yesterday morning at an early hour crowds of anxious spectators thronged the whole line of route which the procession passed on Thursday, and the city police had considerable difficulty in keeping a traffic for the vehicles which were constantly filling the main thoroughfare, and passing to and fro to all parts of London. At 6 o'clock a great number of workmen were engaged by the city authorities in remov ing the massive timber work and barricades from the pavement in Ludgate-street, Ludgate-hill, Farringdon street, New Bridge-street, and along the line of Fleet street to Temple-bar, the vicinity of which was sur rounded by men, women, and children, whose attention appeared to be attracted chiefly to the ancient city gate and its decorations, The whole of the shopkeepers, from St. Paul's Cathedral, were engaged during the morning in carting away timber of various sizes, which had form e d seats, &c., and probably the whole will not be removed f or a wee k or two. There were several sur veyors engagedthe cathedral, ascertainnthethe quantitytakinginteriorandotfhe timbernecessary round no t s h mu e meae o sd u u t rb e ey r . m po e rt nt t ion oof the contractors, w hi c h must be done before the arepadATmEitotF THE edt DUKE'Sthein terißoirßoTfH._theictaits singul ar hedr. birthplace and d a t e o f bi rt h of som thpblic at u the great an as the late Duke of Wellington should notl3eexactl but some light might be th rown on the contradictoryknown; statements, if it were asc er t a i ne d whether the entries in the registers were made according to the old or new style. The style of reckoning time was altered in 1752 ; and if the Duke:s birth was registeied on the Ist May by the new style, and the date of his bapti sm on the 30th April, old style, it would be a difference of eleven days, and thus make the date of his baptism by the new style the 11th of May. There are old people in the Bri tish islands, even now, who would reckon it a sin to compute time by the new style; and as the clergy have been seldom the first to introduce or adopt any change, it would be no wonder if one of them entered the date of the Duke's baptism on the 30th of Ap ril instead of the 11th of May, To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.—Great Northern Rail way, King's-cross, 19th Nov ember, 1852.—Sir,—Several reports having been circulated stating that the Great Northern Railway has, during the late floods, been ob structed, I am instructed by the directors to ask you to be good, enough to insert in your next number the infor- mation that the main line and branc hes of the Great Northern R a il wa have been continuously open, and the traffic in passengers, goods, &c., conducted in the usual way. —I am , s i r , your f a ithful servant, Seymour Clarke, general ma nager .

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. FRANCE. the cortege. Among the most brilliant illumina tions were those of the French and Bavarian lega- CITY, Two O'CLOCK. 11 The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 5,000 bales, of which 1,000 were taken for export and on speculation. The market was dull. Railway shares were firm at rather higher rates. _ _ tions. A. law has just been promulgated which prescribes the sale by public auction, with 10 years' credit, of the national property remaining dis posable, such as olive grounds, vineyards, fig grounds, houses, mills, buildings, and building ground, &c. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. In consequence of the propagation at the Bourse, and elsewhere, of false rum o - ars (among them that of a serious accident liaving happened to the Prince President whilst taking an airing), with the inten tion of producing a fall in the public securities, or creating general uneasiness in the public mind, the Prefect of Police has caused. to be posted on the walls of Paris the following notification, dated the 18th : The large amounts of gold received from Aus tralia a fortnight since, and the sum also that the Ottoman Government has sent with the object Of meeting its liabilities, caused an increase in the bullion held by the Bank of England during the week to the 13th inst.,. and although there was a larger amount of loans or discounts, the increase in the public deposits threw back again upon the Bank a portion of its note circulation. The private deposits were lessened, and this, with the larger discounts, would indicate readier employment for cash. Compared with the previous week, the changes have been as follows Notes issued... Increase " Some persons having,, with a culpable object, spreid in all places, and especially at the Bourse, false rumours calculated to disturb the public peace, and influence the price of public funds and other securities, a prosecution has been ordered, and the offesaders will be given up to justice to be punished according to the rigour of the laws. The Prefect of Police, desiring to prevent the return of such acts, thinks it right to recal.and bring to the knowledge of all, the penal enactments which punish those who, even with good faith, spread false news. The agents of the authorities have recei'red the most severe orders to be on the watch, and to arrest forthwith all those who may render themselves guilty of the offences punished by article 15 of the decree of the 17th February, 1852, and article 415-of the penal code."

By the Maitland, sailing vessel, from Sydney, there are are no later dates than June 26, but 57,30 W. in gold is on board. Via Peru and Panama there are August accounts to the 24th, and these state that the mines were yielding largely, and that several vessels had left during the month, some with good amounts on board. The new clip of wool was disparagingly spoken of, the want of labour being a great obstacle to its being secured in good condition. Cartage •to the mines was still enormously high. While touching upon Australia, it should be ob served that the General Screw Steam-ship Com pany held its meeting yesterday, for the purpose of considering the expediency of extending its sphere of operations to the colonies ; the result being the approval by the shareholders of the objects pro posed. We shall consequently have the great ad vantage of extended steam communication to the antipodes, without the trammel of any Government contract. The MoniteWr of this day has the following on the same subject "For some time p - ast malevolence has been em ployed in spreading alarming rumours. All these rumours are false. It is not only at Paiis, but in the departments also that they are spread. , Within . the last few days they have been renewed with more perse verance. Public opinion will not allow - itself to be misled by manoeuvres of which it is easy: to conceive the object." The Moniteur confirms, as folio' ws, the an nouncement of the important arrangement between the Government and the Mortgage Bank, made by . the Patric :—" An agreement between the Minis ter of the Interior and the Company of the Mort gage Bank of Paris, imposes on that company the obligation of establishing branches in all parts of France, and accords to it the subvention promised by the decree of the Prince President for encou raging establishments of mortgage credits, on con dition that it will advance on real property a sum of 200,000,000 fr., divided amongst all the depart ments, in proportion to the importance of their mortgage debt. This" subvention is subject to the condition that the loans shall be made at the rate of five per cent. Everything included—interest, expense of administration, and sinking fund for paying off the capital in 50 years—that is to say, that the debt will be extinguished by the' simple annual payment of five per cent. during fifty years. Guarantees have also been taken to cause the interest to . remain at the most moderate rate after the 200,000,000 fr. shall have been disposed of. This agreement has just been sent to the Council of State for examination.".. The meeting, yesterday afternoon, of Turkish Bondholders, convened by Messrs. C. Devaux and Co., went off very well, and the explanations given by the contractors proved very damaging to the credit of the Ottoman Government. Messrs. Devaux's commission, it appears, was under 1 per cent., ano ther 1 per cent. going to the Paris firm, and the loan issued at par. The Turkish Ministers, according to the statement both of Prince Callimaki and M. Couturier, gave both the latter full power, by an instrument dated in August, to modify the terms set forth in the firman of June, and when the loan had been concluded, M. Couturier advised his government thereof, and received from it a letter of approval, with directions to pay off certain engagements which the government would other wise have remitted for, as usual. The balance, 80,0001., was sent to the Ottoman Treasury. And yet, 44 days subsequently, because a political crisis and a change of ministry intervened, the loan was declined ! To decline a loan after the money has been had and spent, and saved the recipient from suspension, is certainly an original proceeding, un known in European commerce, and leads to the in evitable conclusion that compensation to the lend ers is indispensable. From all we hear there iss trong reason to believe that this will be given, or pos sibly the loan may even yet be recognised. Under the circumstances, we are not surprised that the meeting should ye felt indignant, and passed unanimously the following resolution :-- "The meeting having heard the statement submitted to them by Messrs. C. Devaux and Co., " Resolved—That the Ottoman Government is bound by the treaty for the Ottoman Loan entered into by Prince Callimaki and Mr. Couturier; and expresses its astonishment, that after the first instalment had been paid, and the money appropriated to the purposes of the Sublime Porte, that any attempt should be made to re pudiate so solemn a contract. " That a committee of ten gentlemen be appointed to promote and protect the interests of the holders of the said Loan ; and that they be authorised to take such steps as they may deem best calculated to obtain the fulfilment of the obligations entered into by the Ottoman Government. - The — Constitutionnel has the following short remark on the decision of the Goyerpment to reduce the army : "The Prince President said at Bordeaux, € L'Empire, c'est la Pair.' He proves it by this decision, which must put an end to all the reports put into circulation as to the disposition of some Governments in presence of the great transformation which is being accom plished.” • The Bourse closed with prices firm, and for Go vernment securities higher than on Thursday.

The Madrid Gazette of the 14th contains the Royal decree by which M.

The lieraldo states that the railway from Aran• jeuz to Tembleque may be opened to the public at the beginning of the year if no delay should take place in.. the delivery of the working materiel. The 14th being Sunday, the Stock Exchange was not open. " That the committee consist of S. J. Waley, Esq., W. H. Mullens, Esq., Count Strzelecki, C. 8., Baron de Goldsmid, G. E. Seymour, Esq., Wm. Tite, Esq., Joseph Locke, Esq., M.P., Lewis hen, Esq., James Capel, Esq., H. Guedalla, Esq. ; and that Messrs. C. Devcaux amd Co, be requested to co-operate with them, and that they be also requested to place all documents, papers, and correspondence in reference to the said Loan at their disposal." The Committee of Spanish American Bondholders have received late information from their agent in Ecuador, Mr. E. Mocatta, and it reads Well. The President, who has been ill, had recovered, and promised his best exertions to get justice done to the Bondholders. The survey of the country to discover mineral lands was to be allowed, and if these should prove satisfactory, there will at once be a source, when revenue can be derived, to meet the interest on the debt. The following is a para graph from Mr. Mocatta's letter : "The decree, to which I referred in my last, has, after some discussions, been passed, which enables the Execu tive to treat with me without reference to any future Congress ; this is a, great point gained, as a general measure, inasmuch as it secures to me the privilege, on behalf of the Bondholders, to propose measures without the risk of undue interference on the part of others; and while it confirms in a legal manner the law of public credit of 1845, in which sundry provision is made for the foreign debt, it also clears away sundry ancient claims of territory by reason of concessions made by previous Governments ; thus, if the Ecuador committee pursues its avowed intentions of surveys, &c., we have a clear field which will undoubtedly lead to an improvement of the general revenue of the country, and thereby create means for the payment of the interest of the debts." . Since writing the above a telegraphic despatch has been received, to the effect that the Eagle has arrived from Melbourne, with dates of Sept. 3, having performed the voyage in 76 days. The Northern Mines were then - becoming more attrac tive than those in the Alexander district. An im mense traffic had arisen between Sydney and Mor peth en route for the Northern Mines, and a gen tleman has arrived, it is said, for the purpose of purchasing - three steamers for the Morpeth trade. The Dido is said to be on her way home with 280,000 ounces, or 1,100,0001. The Eagle has it is reported 600,0001. The exports of the precious metals from London were 5,050 oz., and 9,5001. in gold, all to Ham burgh, during the week to Thursday last, and 7,040 oz. of silver to France, Germany, and Bel gium.

The fifth section of the Belgian Chamber held a second meeting on Thursday to examine the bill on the press as regards offences against foreign sovereigns. Several members warmly opposed the bill, particularly relative to 'th e c l ause a b ou t speeches in public places, which, they contended, was too contrary to the habits of the country to have any chance of passing into a law. One mem ber proposed to replace th e word offence by the words insultes ou outrages. This propo s iti on was adopted by a, great majority. Another mem ber proposed that the reporter should be charged to call the attention of the Central Section to the vague character of the yvor , d , s " shall have wickedly attacked their • authority..

TURKEY• Letters from Constantinople of the 6th have been received in Paris calculateq to encourage the hope that in consequence of thb remonstrances of M. de Lavalette, the question of ratification of the loan would be taken up again. It would appear, too, that Colonel Rose had, as it was supposed, in consequence of instructions from his Government, changed his tone on the subject, and felt disposed to remonstrate with the Porte, showing the ill effects produced by conduct so little in accordance with the usages observed in financial transactions. With regard to Abd-el-ICader, it' was thought the Government would only admit of his residing at Broussa upon exwess stiPulcltiyps and covenants with the French Government, to be held liable for the consequences whatever they, might be. The Sultan had been deeply hurt by the refusal of the Emperor of Austria to accept Presents destined for his Majesty, and felt little disposed to admit the pretensions of the latter to exercis e protection over the Christians 'of Bosnia. All these annoyances were serving the views of the old Turks opposed to ideas of reform and tending to ellabarrass the Sul tan. GREECE.

The passengers of this steam-ship were released from her yesterday afternoon, a message having been received from the Board of Customs by elec tric telegraph. The superintendent, Captain Bar ton, immediately on being informed of the decision of the board, sent a small steamer alongside the La Plata, and the passengers were at once conveyed to the docks. No fresh case occurred since the ship has been in the port, and the medical inspector, Mr. Wiblin, reports that those on board who had been attacked with the fever were in a fair way of recovery. As regards the ship, nothing has as yet been settled, but orders respecting her, it is ex pected, will be received to-day. The La Plata is the first West India packet that ever arrived with a foul bill of health, and is the first steamer that ever lay in Southampton Water in quarantine. The mails were released by being put into a ship's boat, with Lieutenant Gardner, the Admiralty agent, and Mr. Cow, the third officer of the ship, and several sailors, and towed down by a steamer to the Lazarette, near Ryde in the Isle of Wight. Both the towing steamer and the mail boat hoisted a yellow flag. On approach ing the Motherbank, the Government brig, in which the. health officer resides, hoisted also a yellow flag. The officer was on an official visit to a ship off Ryde. The towing steamer dropped the mail boat beside the brig, and proceeded. in search of the officer. As soon as the latter was found he was made acquainted with the affair of the La Plata, and he proceeded on board the brig to com mence operations. The mail bags, loose letters, ship's papers and newspapers, were all thrown from the mail boat on board the brig, and by means of tongs each letter, newspaper, or bag was held and smoked over a lighted stove in which disinfecting substances were burning. This ope ration took about an hour. It was years ago since such an operation had been performed with letters at the Motherbank. The mails were then put on board the small steamer, and were conveyed to Southampton. . MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.) COVENT GARDEN. The general demand ruled steady to-day, and prices were well supported..

THE HULL WHALERS.—The Truelove-arrived on Wed nesday evening with four fish—sixty-four tuns oil. She brings Captain Quale and seven others of the crew of the United States ship MacLellan, which was wrecked in a gale on the Bth of July, when eight other ships; including the Truelove, had nearly shared the same fate. She also brings twelve seamen left by the MacLellan at Kemick sook, in Davis' Straits, last year, to fish during the win ter. They had caught sixteen whales and five hundred seals. The Anne, Captain Wells, arrived here on Thurs day night, having had a successful voyage ; she has five fish. The Rose, Captain Bushby, also arrived on Thurs day. No communication with the Western Esquimaux had been made, • and no trace whatever of Sir John Franklin's expedition had been found. The Lord Gam bier, Captain Couldray, arrived on Sunday ' • she has four fish, which will produce about sixty tuns of oil. The expedition sent out under the command of Sir E. Bel cher was passed by the Lord Gambier on the 22d of July ; they were then proceeding to the north, under steam and canvas. The whaler Orion, Captain E. Wells, left the ice on the 9th of October, arrived at the Shetland. Isles on the Bth of November, and anchored in the Hull roads on. the 12th. The captain reports the Orion clean; a great number of fish were seen, but they could not be headed by the vessel. DREADFUL SHlPWRECK.—Particulars have just reached Sunderland of the wreck of the Concord, Captain Weig hill, the feaiful sufferings of the crew, and the death of five of them: The - Concord cleared at Elsinore on the 23d of October, timber-laden, bound for Rye ; on the 27th she struck soundings in 18 fathoms of water on the Doggerbank, when a gale came from the south-east. At nine .o'clock p.m. a heavy sea struck the vessel, starting the starboard stanchion, and carrying away the galley. She then sprang a leak ; all hands were called to the pumps ' and a raft of deals on deck was thrown overboard. After passing an awful night, at four a.m. on the 28th they loosened the foresail, but while setting it the vessel capsized, and the captain and crew got on to the broadside, where they suffered extremely from the effects of wet and cold, the waves breaking completely over them. After remaining in that fearful state for some time, the working of the timber on deck carried away the foremast,. and the vessel again righted, and all the crew got on to the deck, and succeeded in laying the ship's head to sea. The waves were then making a complete breach over her. The sufferings of the crew were intense, and during the forenoon a boy named Isaac Bolani died from the effects of the cold, about two hours after, the mate, George Weighill,' and during the day the cabin toy expired. They saw a vessel at some distance, but, owing to the fierceness of the tempest, it could render them no assistance. As night approached, the captain, two sailors, and an apprentice lashed them selvei; to the vessel, and their sufferings were of the most fearfnl character, from hunger and cold, during the night. When the morning of the 29th -dawned Captain R. Weighill, and - the eldest apprentice, named John Dear, were both found dead. At daybreak two of the crew alone remained, and they were much enfeebled. The names of the sailors are James Browell and H. Hopkirk ; they consigned the bodies on deck to the waters. Shortly afterwards a Norwegian vessel, the Neptunus, from Christiansand, hove in sight, and, seeing a signal of distress, bore down to their assistance and took both the sailors on board. These men were landed at Fleckeroe, from whence they were sent by the British Consul to Hull, where they arrived on Saturday last. OBSERVANCE OF THE DUKE'S FUNERAL-DAY IN DUBLIN.—The public observances here on account of this ceremonial were upon a very moderate scale, and of comparatively limited extent. On the part of the military in garrison, the only difference between yester day and any other ordinary day consisted in this—that neither drums, bugles, nor any other music whatever, were used in any of the regiments. In all other respects the duties of the soldier were performed according to Me' usual routine. The public offices at the Castle were all closed for the day. The principal law courts were also closed. At the Bank of Ireland and the Post-office the business proceeded uninterruptedly in its ordinary course. In the. Custom-house, the Revenue and Excise departments were open the same as on . any other day ; but the offices of the Poor-law Commissioners and of the Board of Works were closed. There was a public ser vice in Christ Church, and the bell of Trinity College tolled at quarter-hour intervals, the same as in case of demise by members of the royal family. In the police offices the magistrates disposed of the custody cases of the preceding night, and of such summonses as had been entered for hearing for that day, but no business occur ring afterwards was proceeded with. Some of the vessels on the river had their colours half-mast high—by others the occasion was unnoticed. As to any manifes-, tation of popular feeling, as the closing of shops, &c., not any, the slightest sign, at least that came under our observation, was tiaroughout the, city. _ 100 8! 18-i 100 100 all all 45 all 25 25 St. 50 100 100 100 100 100 1100 11i 100 20 14 50 20 100 42 50 40 25 25 160 all 3i 100 17i all £q 100 100 100 100 100 26i 181 20 20 75a 5 6 131 59 i l 9 • PREFERENCE SHARES.
