The celebratedtreatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus ac q uired are lucre condensed under the personal supervision , if Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few legally qualified divided studies to this important br anch of medical science. In short, physicians who have devo ted their whole and un every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and Inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these cases.

THE SINKING OF THE DUCHESS OF KENT STEAMER. GRAVESEND, WEDNESDAY.—This afternoon, at One o'clock, the jury empannelled to investigate the death of Ati r . J. 6. gra, —h, lao by Oa, uoinsion netween the Duchess of Kent, Ramsgate, and the Ravensbourne, Antwerp, steamers, which took place in the river, off Nortbffeet, on the Ist July last, and by which the former was sunk, re-assembled for the third time, at the Town hall, before Air. Hilder, the borough coroner, further t o prosecute their inquiry. An additional hatch of witnesses, who were present 'when the accident occurred, were examined, but their evidence contained nothing worthy of being added to the statements of the casualty which have already appeared. On the conclusion of evidence, Mr. Hind, on the part of the friends of the deceased, wished, before the coroner a ddressed the j ur y , to offer an observation or two as to the property which it was stated was found on the body of Mr. Sard. He felt it his duty to correct that statement. It appeared that a day or two after the sinking of the Duchess of Kent, property which bad been recovered was conveyed to the offic , es of the Commercial Steam Packet Company, in Fish-street-bill, and the pack ages were opened to be dried. Now, what struck him as most extraordinary on the part of the company, and which showed at least a great d.lal of supineness, was the fact that, amongst Mr. Sard's luggage was a small coorth-dio co ntaining an order for 501., which he (Hr. Hind) had forwa rded to him, and two circular 101. notes, but the most singular part of the business was that the S, Salisbury company kept the property for 19 days without making the slightest e ffort to . tied out Mr. Sard, although in the cover of the portfelp, which . he then produced, there begged company in was legibly written the fAlowing, " The address of the d tTb ay he 's lPs'a to rth fi eo i f id out the friends slightestaved they, h idea e y ° St w re u er r , Strand, London , LPotnedkoen%b(E'tl:tiln(d'.i.l"ll d t:d g d g i e t d i on t too say,t e there was on the order for 501. his (Mr. Hind's) address, g justified in looking in nho showed v t v : i kd a i r ng t r: t oyu supinenesss steps e - s q u f r r e . 109 n of Mr. Sard.

The organs of the Ministry at home have authoritatively declared that, with xespect to the north-eastern fisheries, no new claini has been advanced and no concession with drawn, and that even "the disputed interpretation of the technical terms of the treaty of 1818 remains where it was." If this be indeed the case, WC can only observe that the protectors of the colonial fishe ries Are as difficult to understand as the protectors of the British'farmer, arid that . the authorities and people of the Union have been led into very unfortunate mis conceptions. Substantially( sp ea ki ng . , there had been but one "disputed point" in th e convent i on o f 1818, and that, as we have already exp l a i ned, re l ates to the interpretation properly_ appli ca bl e to the term " b ay "— the Americans professing to underst an d by this phrase the narrow creeks and inlets of th e coast exc l us i ve l y , an d the British Government maintaining that large bays, such as that of Fundy, to the south, and that of eta leur, to the north of New Brunswick, are compree headed no less effectually than the smaller coast in dtapoint which, as th e re ader is now aware, e, has been i the ‘ t disputed" for more than thirty years. The British Government never made any sur render of its it conceded a eertain re- Americans, although, of course i o n f co U m a p n e d t y et ; it la im x p a e t r i° a n ti erff'e:cr:ctCoofthetilCre Bay interpretation have practically acted upon it to a considerable extent. By the announcement that this question " remains where it was" we can only understand an assertion b to ut g t i h v e e that no step has been taken to place the subjects of either Government on a footing different from that prevailing twelve months ago. OF course the dispute of necessity, "remains where it Was;" that is to say, the terms of the written convention are unchanged and the respective merits of the two interpretations unaffected. To say this is to say nothing at all, and if the Ministerial intimation contains any meaning whatever, it must be that no measures have been taken by the British Government to make the " disputed inter pretation " more important than it has been fur the last seven years. Now on the 6th of last month Mr. Webster being Secretary of State to the Govern ment of the Union, issued an official document from the Department of State at Washington, for the pur pose of communicating to the American public the new position in which the question of the fisheries was placed. In Cals document he stated that an "en- tire change of police " had occurred in England with reference not only to the system of bounties,but to the admission of American fishermen to grounds from which, according to strict treaty engegemeres, they ought to be excluded. What fiiliiir-greunds Mr. Webster here understood is conclusively shown in the sequel of his notification. After quot i ng at length the operative clauses of the convent i on o f o l fBlBt,haend word expl ain,bay i,ogtl:,,he proce e d s to &c -e "disputed i n t erpretat i ons " serve that, in 1841, the Legislature of Nova . Scotia submitted the case for opinion to the law officers of the Imperial Go vernment, and that their decision was against the right of the Americans to enter these large bays for the pureoses of fishing, notwithstanding their central waters might be more than three miles distant from either shore. "It is this construction," continues Mr. WebAer, " which the colonies have ever since desired should be enforced ; and this," he adds, " the English Government has now, it would appear, con sented to do?' Without presuming to be acquainted with the true intentions of Ministers at home, we must remark that nothing can be clearer than the light in which such intentions are regarded abroad. Mr. Webster, in his proper Ministerial capacity, writing iu the name of the Government, from a Government office, end basing his notification on " information of an official character received at that department," communicates to the American public his anticipations that the " disputed interpretation" of the treaty provisions, instead of " remaining where it was," will at length be brought to issue by the forcible adoption of that construction maintained by the British Government • that the " exten s i ve b us iness er the eNew England fishermen will ne completely interrupted" in consequence, and that all con cerned, therefore, should " s t an d o n their guard. Such is the impression p ro d uce d on the American Government by its official information, nor can we see, indeed, how even on the face of Sir Johnhave Pak ington's dispatch any different conclusion could been formed. The circular letter of the Colonial Secretary to the Governors of our North American.a last, plainly states that " her Mxtesty'e dependencies, bearing date only the 26th ( , )1 s arey desirous of removing all grounds of complaint on I ch part of the colonies in consequence of encroach ments ments of the fishing vessels of the United States upon by upon those waters, from which they are excluded the terms of the convention of 1818, and they there forel_ intend to dispatch, as go on as possible, a small naval force of steamers, or other small vessel, enforce the observance of such convention. Now, if these resolutions were intended to apply, as W are now assured, to such provisions onlyanee the convention as "the United States do not itiar Ministers t le never did dispute," ,we cre constrained to remark sn it that they were somewhat loosely expressed, theu that our colonies have been flattered, American people irritated with extremely The sincerity of purpose or distinctness of plan. • ti in the " waters" alluded to without any limi ta " ll s hut dispatch of those from which the Americans tide the out by the convents - ei, do, undoubtedly, according to the fishing•grounds of the larger bays, acc0......--, lowly rigorous interpretation of the treaty, and notor satis faction so according to the views of those colonists, in tion is faction of all of whose "complaints" the contention now to he " enforced." For years past the colonists have have been alleging as a grievance that the Americans, p per contrary to the stipulation s of the treaty, we i for tan our little mitted to enter bays on the British coast pose of fishing, and when they are assured shalt aid dispatch that all their grounds of complaintrdinglY be removed, and a naval force is chared accordingly with any with the execution of the law, it is difficult English or American reader to come to e American conclusion than that arrived at by tee elation of Government, and accepted by the pop ea induced the States. At the same time we arc 31 to remark, that every day's additional co. only that which the subject receives convinces us 1 1 the construction of the treaty maintained by the more tish Government is right in law, but that e persuaded intelligent of the American statesmen aronsider it to of this fact, however opposed they may c _ the best in the suggestions of local convenience, r ° vs renounce terests of both countries.

The most vital interests of Europe,ouvention concerned the the question of general peace came very home to the future tranquillity of the or general war, affected had an importance which it would be and altogether be difficult to ex aggerate. This remarkable co u v n en . tion corresponded in the dignity and solemnity •` magnitude of the questions which • of its form with the it undertook pro -spectively to settle. It opened with an invocation of ' " the name of the Most Holy and Undivided like the treaty of the 2 6 , of Trinity, 11 1815," A careful and minute digestof September, row the engage ments to which the three Northert' affirmed to hav e bound t h emselves oa the present ersrare occ asion, is furnished to the public by our vigilant contemporary. Now, in spite of the detailed and categorical manner in which this announcement has been made, we are obliged to say that it deserves no more credit than it has in most quarters receiv-'d. Wherever the wr iter° borrowed his facts, he seems to have taken a hint in the effective art of circumstan tiality from an admirable scene in the School for Scandal. Let us, however, examine for a moment the provisions of this new and important conve • latton. It refers to the assumed intention of Louis Napoleon to revive, if his countrymen so will it, the imperial office in France. And now, in brief, here is the gist of the determinations which our contemporary avers to have b e en thus solemn l y adopted by the three Powers :- 1. Should Prince Louis Napoleon be proclaimed Emperor, mere ly for himself, without a view to the transmission of his power, the three powers will no t actively interfere; but when they shall , have un derstood that it is but a temporary throne which he has ascended, th e y will suffer him to sit there in peace. The reason alleged for this policy is that such a change will be but a change of title, and not a change of power in Prince Louis Napoleon. Here we would merely-observe that the:reason attributed,bears f a llacy and certainly futility on the face of it. Such a reason could have bad little weight with the three powers in question. If an increase of the authority of Prince Louis Napoleon in France must at once in duce open hostility on the part of those foreign Go vernments, they could scarcely have failed to act on this imperative principle when the events of the 21 of December oecurred.qhe authority:which he then ac quired, and t h e great change in his position and power (though not in his title), met with no resist ance. Buie secondly, should Prince Louis Napoleon be proclaimed Emperor, not merely so as that the umpire should "determine" at his death, but with dynastic dignity, and with a revival of the institu tion itself o f t h e empire in France, then the three powers will o penly ; d.savow that act of the French penple, and will reserve to themselves the right of ul terior measures in concert. Now, if the reason el leged as weighing with the three powers in the first alternative, or " eventuality," be evidently un real, the reasons ascribed to them for their proposed policy in this second contingency are absolutely far cical. The events of the last two-and-twenty years, combined with the first•mentioned article of this very " treaty," permit us no other word. The reasons in question are two. The first is derived from the treaties of 1815 and from the renunciation made by Napoleon of the throne of France, for himself and all his representatives for ever. Both the treaties and the renunciation quite bar (the former any, save the Bourbons, the latter in an addi tional manner, any member of the Bonaparte family in particular) from ever wearing :the French crown. And ye t this new " treaty" binds the three powers to recognise Louis Napoleon as Emperor in case be be so proclaimed merely for life. Thus, this treaty at once insists on Napoleon's renunciation as a bar which forbids any Bonaparte from wearing the French crown; and the same treaty provides that a Bonaparte shall, nevertheless, be allowed to wear it, and thus not only to nullify the renunciation, but, by a mighty precedent, to make it far easier for - those who come after him to treat it alto ua null. it Lae rule is not binding . now, will it be come more binding after it has been broken ? The second of the two reasons is, the sacredness of th e hereditary principle. The point is thus urged : " The basis of the European order is hereditary right. By hereditary right the Bourbons are kings of France. The present head of the house of Bourbon Count is the de Chambord." Was ever ar- guinea so felicitously timed, so gracefully rememliered ? " Present head." It seems he is now the head of that house; and we piasume be was not its head w hile the Orleanist dynasty reigned. The three powers, we are to believe, quite overlooked thi s f act w hil e they ha d L ou i s Philippe's envoys recognised at their Courts ; and it was only as soon as Louis Philippe had faded like a dissolving view into the " Mr. Smith" who fled to our shores in 1848,-that they sudd en l y reco ll ecte d t h at h e was not the rightful head of the Bourbons. But even then, when a R . epublic, ign or i ng a ll h ere dit ar y right, whether of emperor or ki ng , w h e th er i n e ld er b r anch or in younger, threatened the real tranquillity of Europe, we heard of n o suc h t reaty i n f avour o f th e Count de Chambord. Th e recogn i t i on o f Louis Philippe and the r ecogn i t i on o f toe F renc h Re public were both departures quite as violent from tbet rule of forcing the principle of hereditary right upon other countries, as will be the recog nition of Louis Napoleon's lith-empire from the rule of holding the "renunciation" of the late Emperor to be in every possible event an insuper able bar against the instalment of a Bonaparte on the throne. For our parts, we believe that while he• reditary right is a happy principle for a people to adopt, there are also other principles absolutely neces sary to the peace of the world and to the tranquil advancement of civilization—principles which, if our fathers had adopted, we, their descendants, should not now have to say, as we can say wish truth, " Oceans of blood and countless treasure have been expended, fearful evils have been suffered and in flicted, and the end of all is not attained; the priceless cost has been paid, but the purchase has not been secured." To say th a t a pri nc iple is valuable is one thing; it is quite another thing to say that we ought to force every valuable principle on reluctant neigh hours at the point of the sword. For us, there are no parties in France; there is but France herself. And ha who makes her prosperous, and who soonest rind best secures her tranquillity, deserves well of his country and of mankind. CHRONICLE.—Having examined the various taxes which are imposed on landed property, we must not forget that, in almost all other countries, the " untexed foreigner," employed in the production of corn and cattle, pays much larger contributions to the revenue of the State than are exacted of the English landowner. The French Land-tax alone far exceeds in amount all the imposts which can in any env be represented as exclusive burdens on the soil of England. The proportion of revenue which is levied from real property is necessarily greater in countries less advanced than our own in civilization and commerce. Where imports are scanty and manufactures non-existing, the land necessarily bears the charges of national administration and defence. Mr. Disraeli will hardly be so ill-advised as to rest his case on a comparison which Mr. Cobden and his friends have so often threatened to institute. The whole inquiry is, in truth, irrelevant except for purposes of controversial hostility. It is f or English financiers to adjust taxation to the circum• stances of their own country, without regard t o th e political or economical cons iderations which may influence foreign Governments. They m ay be well esßured that no existing or probable burden on land will affect in any degree the cost of domestic produc tion. Even if it were true that real property is snore heavily taxed in,England than:on the Continent, it would by no means follow th a t t h e l andowner is entitled to compensation or relief, n or , on t h e ot h er hand, would the far heavier burdens imposed on his foreign competitor afford an an swer to a well-founded plaintonhi are hardspartof any sub s t an ti a l gr i evance . advocates His injustice, but when they can b r i ng f orwar d any plau sible china they will, no doubt, be entitled to a bear ing.

It lasspro said that the English f armer i s p ro hibited flr sav e clueing that thin and t as t e l es s imitation ' 1 fishes "- which, in many parts of the continent, der protective duties. But the supposedcirues „ e s ame duty „ t tb altogether imaginary. On PaYnle-m—ported from the which is levied on genuine sugar liberty to produce colonies, English industry is at s ma y be considered . beet-root sugar as dear and bad as s with the desirable. The only grievan.ceeno of protection for beet-root question is the los facture The prohibiaon an inferior article of tor ti rea ny enforced, by a law of horse-grown tobaccotiwso centuries old.

The absolute prohibition is, in fact, cheaper and more effectual than would be the imposition of an equiva lent duty ; and the wildest Protectionist will hardly advocate the encouragement of native produce by the maintenance of the existing impost on the foreign ar ticle alone. The loss of the whole or the greater part of the tobacco duties would be a heavy price to pay for fostering a branch of cultivation which is na turally unsuited to our soil and climate. The fact that the present Chancellor of the Exchequer has adopted the beetroot and tobacco cries forms a strik ing illustration of the feebleness of the cause for which he deems such arguments available. The most plausible demand put forward on behalf of the landed interest concerns the large revenue derived from the Excise duty on malt ; yet it is remarkable that the landowners themselves have never been unanimous in the wish to deprive the State of one of its most valuable resources. A duty which produces upwards of 5,000,0001. annually cannot easily be replaced by any impost which well not occasion ser i ous di sco ntent. Nor are either the farmers or the landlords ignorant that the malt-tax really falls on the consumer ; while the barley grower only Suffers from the limitation of his market, occa sioned by the artificial • ease in the price of malt. Mr. Jonas, indeed, increase , . t he House stated before thaCommittee o f of Lords that the 1121 l ' by enhancing the Malt-tax , t-tax, cost of the beer consumedincre ase d a by his labourers, t. his expenses 6d. an Mont eagle truly observes in h i s But this, as Lord on report, " caneot be called a special burden on real that the L on d on property, unless it be con tendedcoalheaver and worker in the docks is not as a consumer of porter as the agricultural labourer is of ale." An acute man of business, a Protectionist farmer , even thou g h he be economical questions whic h bear comprehends transactions. Mr. Jonas evidently on his private his interest in the M a lt-t ax i s that o f hnderstands that B. consumer, and not of a producer ; and it i s from a s i milar of the true bearing of th e question perception that the party who advocate the system of raising revenue by indirect duties have never seriously-attacked the Malt-tax, although they have added the impos t to grievances peculiar to the land. lhe real list of of the malt duty, and of taxes on com moditieseaopponents general, must be looked for in a different in Mr. Disraeli, in his successful Budget speech, dre w quarter. a fanciful distinction between Customs duties levied on foreign productions, and Excise revenue which forms a burden on native industry. Sounder economists watch both classes of taxes with equal interest in the hope of reducing the burden on consumers without dangerously tampering with the finances of the State. The Malt-tax will, like the rest, be entitled to coneide ration in its turn, as an impost which may probably be found to be of an elastic nature. Tea, wine, and tobacco may, no doubt, be rendered cheaper without eventual loss to the Exchequer ; and there is no reason why the duty of 21s. Btd. per quarter oe malt should for ever form the fiscal addition to the price of so useful a commodity as beer. But it is for the benefit of labourers and coalheavers, and not in the problema tical hope of adding to the rent of gravelly soils, that the question must be practically considered. In the meantime, if barley-growers think, as they justly may, that they are not remotely interested in the cheapness of beer, they may profitably direct their energies to the reduction of a heavier impost than that which the Exciseman levies on malt. We have repeatedly called attention to the un scrupulous exactions of the brewers who mono polise the beer trade of London. In the days of protective duties, and even in seasons of actual scarcity, the retail price of porter was 4d. per pot, and it was understood that the partners in the great brewing firms were in the enjoyment of at least reasonable profits on their capital. The price of barley has of late years sunk one-half, the cost of hopehas been materially reduced, wages and all other collateral expenses have been diminished—but the working man still pays 4d. per pot for his porter. It is evident that there is something wrong in the law which renders such a monopoly possible. What that wrong is, and how it is to be remedied, may be a question not easily solved ; but it is one which the grower of the main staple of the beer manufacture, is, beyond all others, interested in answering. The root of- the difficulty may be indicated is sae simple remark that in the case of beer, as in that of other fermented liquors, the principle of Free trade has not fair play. For purposes, not of revenue nor of Protection, bat of police and public morality, the sale of intoxicating liquors is regulated and restricted. The field is not perfectly open, and the natural results of a partial monopoly follow from a limited competition, which renders combination practicable. Until an attempt shall have been made to remedy the evil, it is not necessary to admit that there is any inseparable connexion between a judicious regulation of public-houses and the ac quisition of exorbitant profits by the brewer. To this point the Chancellor of the Exchequer may, per haps, direct his attention with advantage. If it be his noble ambition to realise the vision of Jack Cade, by giving the consumer ten hoops to his three-hooped pot, let him do so without ruining the revenue by the repeal of the Malt-tax. The community is con cerned in the maintenance of the public credit; but it has no interest in the enormous dividends which are derived by private firms fr om the sale, a price fixed in the days of Protect ion, of an ar es t . lcl e h e ve the ma ma de nufacture of which legislutive Chang comparatively cheap. extent, the pro. The consumers, and, to a certain three ways—viz. ducers, of beer, are taxed in at le ast . . , hop duty, and the hcensing through the malt duty, the system, to which the b rewers owe that monopoly which malt-tax and which they so grossly abuse. Of th_ already spoken and of the brewers' profits we have . , . , we will not at present discuss the protection which is afforded to malt against the competition of sugar and molasses. The hop duty necessarily eugments the price of malt liquors to the purchaser, bat it may be doubted whether it affects the value of land, even in the districts of Kent, Sussex, and Herefordshire, where hops are ordinarily grown. One half of the duty is paid after credit has been given for six months, and the remainder at the expiration of a year from the gathering of the crop—an anomalous regulation, by which, in effect, the State advances a portion of the capital engaged in the most speculative of all agricultural undertakings. The loss of this undue and questionable advantage would probably be the principal result of a repeal of the duty, so far as the owners and occupiers of hop grounds are concerned. The Customs duty on foreign hops would, of course, be re moved at the same time; and it is doubtful whether a f ree competition with Belgium and Germany would all o w the English producer to extend his cultivation . w The l whole area of soil at present devoted to the production of hops is about 50 , 000 acres. The repeal ' tag has not been regarded with much favour of the owners since Mr. Cobden has spoken by the land in favour of its abolition. It is and voted of the levity with which a curious illustration popular doctrines are Some sometimes repeated, th a t So of free trade hav e not hesitate d professed supporters Customs duty on hops should be retained, notwith standing the remo va l o f the impost levied by the E t ; cise on domestic p ro d uce.

Ireland, again, the 1 manufac_ g at e e f agricultural grievances, is altogether great from the Income-tax. Tenant-farmers have ex' E°P. to demand • • '-' little re ason a revision of the mode of as. ee t for it s results would probably be any thi ng but , e a t satisfectory to them. The arbitrary valuation of the farmer's profits at one-half of his rental must, on a n average, be highly favourable to his interests. N o resident in the country can believe that a tenant of 3001, a year ordinarily spends so small an income as 150/, It is true that a still more disadvantageous result might appear on the face of the occupier's books, for farmers have liberal notions on certain subjects. In some districts the mistress of the establishmentclaims the poultry for pin money, without k Ile nowledging any liability to account for the grain which they con sume ; and in the same manner the farmer, before he begins to calculate his profits, assumes that himself, his family, and his horses are provided with shelter and with food.

Yet, when the one pays 41 . 10 3 . he envies. to the State out of his annual 1501., while the other, at a rent of 2901., is C ( ' e 'exempt from Licome-tax, it is certainly not the occu pier of the land w h o h as a r i g h t t o com plain of ine quelinte Farmers, however, were never tittnt suiTer end Cecir complaints are re . ederei mere audible by tha eneurattance that they pose's vote:. F` - ' r se veral years their professed advecates in Parliament remonstrated against the hardship of paying a tax on en assumed income, Khan perhaps in an exceptional year no nrofits whatever might have been realised. In vain it was urged that the complainants would unhesitatingly reject a proposal for placing them on the same footing with ordinary traders. An average, it was suggested, implied the possibility of defect as well as of excess, since a centre of oscillation must lie between two extremes. Nevertheless, it eras re peated again and again that the advantage which a fortunate farm er m i g h t ga i n from the mode of as sessment was no compensation for the losseS sus tained by a less prosperous neighbour; and a year or two of low prices na t ura ll y obliterated the recollec tion of a time when the tax was probably paid on a mere moiety of the profits. The coincidence of agri cultural distress with Ministerial difficulties at last ove rcame the reasonable objections of fi nanc i ers ; an d in 1851 Sir Charles Wood consented to give the farmer an appeal against the assessment founded on the rental. At present, therefore, capital is invested in agriculture under the most advan tageous conditions, so far as fiscal burdens are con cerned. However great may he the profits of a suc cessful year, the occupier is only required to pay Income-tax on half his renta l - I f, on the other hand, his gains assumed fall below thevalue, he is allowed a deduction for the deficieecy. The exemption of farmhouses from taxation, and of agricultural produce from the dirty on fire-insurances, is not a more dis tinct benefit to farmers, the Property as compared with other classes than is th e p resen t s y s tem of levying Property tax. It is true that rents are still rated equally with every other species of income ; but even landownsre cannot pretend that the most &ECUS of all kinds of property ought t o be exempted from ordinary bur dens. As u sua l, h owever, they com plainedn the name of their t enants as long as i t was possible to dis i cover the shadow of a grievance. The Stamp duties have been reduced and simplified since the inqu i ry which was instituted b y the House of Lords; but the heaviest burdens on landed property are aill to be found in the taxes imposed by t h e S ta t e and by the law on all transfers of real p ro perty. Lord Monteagle, in his draft report, justly p o i n ts to this class of grievances as the most intelerable—and, at the same time, the most easily removable—to which landowners are subject. The common remark that the price of land on the Continent bears a higher pro portion to ifs annual value than in England, is in itself by no means conclusive. In Franc e an d on th e Rhine, there is - much competion for small freehold and little for farms. Moreover, capital has in Eng land a hundred cbannsla of investment, while in poorer countries it is habitually laid out is the pur chase of land. There are many other reasons which nomeans show th a t a soun d econom i c al condition by p purchase implies a max i mum i n th e num ber of years given for land ; but it is nevertheless true that the cost of conveyances, both direct and incidental, forms a large deduction from the value of every estate in the country.

I. 'THE HARP Y STk:A.I6 , IER . We have a few words to soy about the performarces of another Admiralty steamer—the liarpy— w hi ch has just tecomplistail the pass; ;e home from Rio in 110 days. Our old frited the Meamra—au have much pleaeure in observing—is beieg prepared for fresh triumphs by the hand of the dockyard people at Sheer ness. They era caulking end payiuta her decks with Je they's mat ins glue. They are making alterations in her internal fitment,, and placing a coat of prepared mineral pitch upon her bottom. Despite of all these im portant changes Englaud, we are told, is justified in ex pecting that within the three weeks the Mettmra will be afloat again. Meanwhile, the reputation of the Admi ralty has been ably sustained. ono avulso non deficit alter. While the Megai:a has been in deck, the Harpy has been staggering about the Atlantic for the last three months at the most imminent danger to the lives of all on board. In the case of this ship it may be said— and with reason—that we have to right to expect any such rapid passage as is habitually made by the Brazil line of mercantile steamers. She was sent home, in point of fact, on account of the 'dangerous state of her :,oilers, reed so it was neeessasy to navigate her at a re duced pressure. Allowance, however, has its limits— and whether those limits have in this iustanee been ex ceeded must be jeCged from the following facts. The time bill of tee Mestere since her departure from Rio stands as follows:—Rio on the 18th of April, Bahia on the sth of May, Pernambuco on the 15th, andiFeyal on the 231 of July, off Plymouth on Friday last, Ned ar rived at Portsmouth on Saturday night. The Harpy left Pernambuco with 150 tons of coal on board—us much or more than she could stow. Her decks were choked up with the coal in order to supply the shortcomings of the stowage below. With this supply she steamed steadily away for the depot at St. Vincent's, and was within a comparatively short distance when it was found that the supply of coal was exhausted. A desperate effort must ho made to keep the boilers going. Everything was thrown into the fire—coal sacks, mess tables, cld junk, the cabin doors, everything, in short, that was not absolutely nscessary to keep the vessel above water. All efforts, however, were in vain, the in terior of the Harpy presented a mere tabula rasa; there was nothing more to throw on the fires, which very naturally went out. Under these disagreeable circum stances the effacer in command Ca' the ship, Commander Williams, who appears to have discharged his duty with great energy and discretion, came to the resolution of bearing up for the Western Islands. In order to give thrill a-chance of reaching this haven alive it was neces sary to put the crew on a reduced scale of provisioes and water.
