Bill embracing the proposed objects of the present Company was before the last Parliament, when, after passing the Standing Orders and the first and second reading, it was submitted to the Select Committee on the Metropolis Water Supply. The Government and the other Bills occupied the attention of the Committee till the latter end of May, when this 8111 was called on, and the evidence gone into ; but from the improbability of being able to pass the Bill through the House of Lords in that Parliament, and in order to avoid large and useless expenditure, by the advice of Counsel, it was withdrawn, upon the understanding that the same measure Nvould be proceeded Within the next Parliament. The Metropolis Water Bill passed last Session removes all uncer tainty as to the extent of interference by the Legislature with regard to Water Companies, thereby enabling the Promoters of this Under taking to frame their measures to meet all t he re q atrements of the -Xew Act, and likewise to offer to the capitalist a perfectly secure ineans of investment. The Water of the River Wandle has long been celebrated for its treat purity, and its recent analysis by eminent chemists, fully con firm the high character given to it by the late Mr. Telford and Dr. Restock, in their examination by the Government Commissioners on Water Supply. Every Householder South of the Thames paying Water Rates, is aware of the high charge for the present inferior and insufficient Supply. Tho proposed rates of this Company will be u p on a much lower scale. It will thus be evident that upon the point of economy alone. they must command the preference of consumers; but when the purity of the water is considered, and that the supply will be constant and unlimited, all competition will necessarily be su perseded. Although inordinate profits are not contemplated by this Coln- Pany, yet it is firmly believed, looking at the vast extent of the Surrey District, and the daily increase of buildings there, that the Present undertaking will afford an immediate, sound, and steady investment for capital, with every prospect that the maximum di vidend, now allowed by the Legislature, namely, 151 per cent., will be speedily attained; proposals having already been made by large eensnmers, to take several millions of gallons daily. After payment of the Deposit, no call will be made until an Act be obtained, in which It will be provided that no Call shall exceed 1 1. per Share, or be made at more frequent intervals than three months. Applications for Shares to be made to the Brokers; or to the Secretary, at the Offices of the Company, No. 28, Cornhil, where the plans and models of Mr. Thompson's SUBTEURANEOI:3 RUIEI3- 1 , 01113 may be seen, and detailed information obtained.

The usages of society, and respect for the memory of the greatest Commander this country evor knew, Will claim a suitable preparation for the forthcoming Ceremonies, and thousands will desire to take a part in this event. Certain it is, In doing so, they will be seen as well as see, during the progress of the imposing spectacle ; and a comment on the appearance of Ills aPectators will be handed down to posterity. Though many have Suits of Mourning which they might think would suffice, there is no doubt but the general disposition will be to appear in NEW and aPPropriate Monamtro Dams. For this purpose, E. MOSES and SON are fully prepared to execute any commands, with the greatest economy, correctness, and dispatch; and patriotic gentlemen cannot do less than appear in a NEW Suit of Mourning, by which they may demonstrate their well-known esteem for the merits, talents, and virtues of England's greatest Hero. An immense Stock of Mourning, of every description, is prepared for the occasion by E. MOSES and SON ; the (Instal% STILE, and PRICE of which it is entirely impos sible for any House in the Kingdom to imitate. THE LATEST FROM THE " DIGGINGS" 'State that there is no diminution in the encouragement for emigrants . the markets for labour and enterprige are not likely to bo c•verstocked but the price of all useful articles has risen to a surprising high rate ; the best policy which emigrants can pursue is to take out a full equipment from the OUTFIT RING ESTABLISH3IENT of E. MOSES and SON, by which the greatest saving of money is effectcli, and quality and perfect suitability ensured, E. MOSES and SON'S Outfitting Department communicates with their Wholesale and General Clothing, Hosiery, Boot and Shoe making sections; but tfa still a distinct Compartment, where emigrants can select the boot and cheapest OUTFITS, with the greatest dispatch. Full Lists of Gurnee, and all requisite information relative to sailing of Vessels, cost of passage, &c., may be had on application. or post free, to any Part of the kingdom. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesmanlike falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment." or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITEI ANY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155, 156, anu iS i , aiinories, 83, 84, 85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. "Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his Power to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851. —" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to Care a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Sperina torrhma and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately described, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular, May 5, 1852. —" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preliminary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of he subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderato Price at which the brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—Dublin Medical Press, Apra 18,11352.

LAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS. The following testimonial is another proof of the great effi cacy of this medicine : " 157, New Bond-street, London, October 12, 1850. " Sir,—ln acquainting you with the great benefit which I have ex perienced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT and RIIEUMATIC PILLS, I feel that I am but performing a duty to t hat p ortion of the public who may be.similarly affected. " About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout In my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and in Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Hussars. I always pro cured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief, and my sufferings cart be appreciated only by these who know some thing of this disease. " It was during ono of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR.'S PILLS- I ost no time in procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect health. " From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to me is so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic have ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause. Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf fered, but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS is towards its improvement. " I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result has always been of the most gratifying character. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, " GARRET FOSTER GILL. " To Mr. Prout, 229, Strand." For every description of Gout and Rheumatism, Sciatica, Tlc-dolo reux, &c., &c., BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS are a sovereign remedy, contain neither mercury, opium, or any other dangerous drug, require no care whatever in their use, and ler ra pidity of cure and complete safety have not their equal in the world.

IMMAS HOOD'S GRAVE.—The publication AL in Eliza's Cook's Journal of " Lines written at Kensall-green Cemetry," has iuduced numerous readers to express an earnest de sire to assist in raising a fund for the purpose of placiug a memorial ever the remains of "Poor Hood." Many a burst of merriment has echoed above " Hood's Comic Annual." from the lips of all classes. For many a year he cheered our Christmas firesides with racy humour, that never wearied by its frivolity nor offended by its coarseness. Far and wide was he known as the Poet of Mirth: but the higher development of his genius and the nobler purpose of his muse were shown in such glorious hymns as " The Song of the Shirt" and the " Bridge of Sighs." Those who have read either of these poems will acknow ledge that such a man deserves to have a mark upon his sleeping place, so that it may be found without the help of a grave-yard servant, and all who have laughed at his inimitable wit, or sighed over his human tenderness, are now earnestly solicited to spare what they can in aid of a purpose which is alike praiseworthy in the living and due to the dead. For the furthering of this design, the following gentlemen, mem bers of the Whittingt.l Club, have formed themselves into a Com mittee : Mr. J. Balfour Mr. R. W. Roberts Mr. Campbell Clarke Mr. W. Strudwicke Mr. Edward Copping Mr. H. Roscoe St. John Mr. J. Passmore Edwards Mr. George Waller Mr. H. C. Maguire Mr. John Watkins, and Mr. C. S. Middleton Mr. G. W. Yapp- At the request of these gentlemen, Miss Eliza Cook has consented to be Treasurer to the fund, and Mr. John Watkins to be Honorary Secretary. Subscriptions will he received by Mr. William Strudwicke, at the Whittington Club, Arundel-street, Strand ; at the office of Eliza Cook's Journal, 3, Raquet-court, Fleet-street; by Miss Eliza Cook, 54, Great Ormonde-street, Bloomsbury ; and by Mr. John Watkins, 34, Parliament-street, Westminster.

If the evident folly of a change like this left any oc casion for particular exculpation, we could be at no loss to show that the " burglary" so grateful to Mr. Fry's anticipations could have no possible connexio❑ with the military training of the offender. The prisoner had been for some time in the service of the prosecutor ; he quitted this service, and shortly afterwards effected a felonious entry into the premises with which he was so well acquainted. None but a professed " peacemaker" could attribute this crime to the fact that for a couple of days in the interval ' the criminal had worn a red-coat. There are certain tempations to which all men, and especially young men, when assembled in considerable numbers, are exposed; but these temptations are the same whether their garments are red or brown, and whether the gathering is that of a county militia or a Quaker's college. They certainly, moreover, have no peculiar tendency to the offence of burglary. Of the two cases, a felonious disposition is manifestly less likely to indulge itself in the ranks of a regiment than in the purlieus of a gin-shop or a betting-house. Military discipline, if it does not directly impart the principles of morality, is, at least, suggestive of general good behaviour. The supervision of officers, the increased amenability to punishment, and that spirit of regimental pride which is rarely absent from any military corps, are all so many additional guarantees for respectable conduct, and no persons acquainted with the subject would refuse to acknow ledge that the 600 or 800 men of any well-ordered battalion supply infinitely fewer examples of crime or misdemeanour than the same number taken from the corresponding classes of civil society. The esprit de corps, indeed, and the credit of the cloth, combined with the novelty of the position and the hope of advancement, will often teach what friends and school masters have laboured in vain to instil ; nor is there any reason for doubting that a few years' instruction in the duties and carriage of a soldier may communi cate to some thousands of the rising generation feel ings not only of confidence and responsibility, but of honesty, decorum, and order. living man's merits as all would speak of them if he were no more, yet we will infringe the sacred rules of chartered envy, and say without hesitation that Bulwer Lytton has achieved the work of twenty eminent authors and original thinkers. Among the various departments of literary and intellectual labour —and they are surely both numerous and diverse— any one of them has often crowned an author with imperishable honour for success inferior to that which Bulwer Lytton has obtained in them all. What sort of literature has he not tried, and in what has he not triumphed at last? And this frequently (as in the instance of the drama, both tragic and comic) after having failed at first. That circumstance is the greatest glory of all, and speaks as much for the courage and perseverance of the heart, as for the re sources of the head. Every muse has come at his call; or, if she came not, he has found means to make her change her mind, before he changed his purpose, or lost faith in his admirable, fertile, and inexhaustible genius. From his exegetical history of the " Rise and Fall of Athens," though drama, poetry, philoso phic treatises, political criticism, novel and romance, down to his late hustings' speech and popular lectures, all has been one long progressive improvement, grow ing stronger and brighter with the diversity of the range and the extent of the career. Well has it been said, that if a stranger were to ask who is our fore most representative of English literature in general, there could be but one answer—Bulwer Lytton, great in a great art, highest in the noblest of spheres. In deed, abroad he is better appreciated than at home ; and we know why. Madame de Stael has told us the reason ; it is because " foreigners are a sort of con temporary posterity." We have dared for a moment to speak the language of future times. THE PHARISAICAL CRUSADE AGAINST THE SYDENHAM EXHIBITION. Lbs. 50,000 ][RAG Vol.l iiroaS FROM T HIE-40 IINTAIRS.

Verily there are exhibitions in churches of greater scandal to a Christian Church than exhibi tions of art and science. Remarkable it is that Dr. Croly, who se 7 zed owl mon to lecture on the institution of the Sabbath, dist not make mention of, or advert directly or indirectly to, our Saviour's example and precepts with reference to it. There is in this significant omission a con sistency, for the Sabbath which the Pharisees would force upon us is not the Christian Sabbath, but the Judaic. —Examiner. [PRICE SD. Tons. 100 THE INCOME TAX. HERALD.—Of Cardinal Richelieu, one of the boldest spirits and most masculine intellects that ever ruled a state; and of William Congreve, the drama tist, who is nearly as infamous for the profligacy as he is famous for the wit of his productions, we have two characteristic and amusing incidents recorded, in which it is really hard to say whether a violent con trast or a whimsical resemblance predominates. Both the French statesman and the English comedian seem at one period to have alike forgotten, or misun derstood, in what their true eminence and superiority respectively consisted. Richelieu, who might have said with Themistocles, " I cannot dance or play the fiddle, but I can turn a little or a divided state into a great and united nation," had not learned to feel, like that calm old Greek, where his real glory lay ; and at a time when his renown filled all Europe—at a time when he had not an enemy who did not quake at the sound of his name, and when his natural love of power had been gratified in the amplest measure, he not only pined for literary fame, but what is far more wonderful, the thought he deserved it, and that, as a man of letters, rather than in any other capacity, he was worthy of hereafter remaining in the remembrance of the world. Congreve, on the other hand, who owed everything to literature—his social position, the acquaintance of all fashionable and the friendship of some great persons—conceived that . his highest claim to distinction or consideration was in the quality of a " fine gentleman." He said as much, it will be r e membered, when Voltaire com plimented him upon his works ; and Voltaire's reply was not amiss—" Had you been nothing but a gen tleman, I should never have thought of coming to see you : " In thus seeming to be unaware of the talents in which their natural strength consisted, and out of what fountain flowed their real and unfailing reputation, these two men, so different in all other respects, were, we say, alike. But here ends the similarity, and begins the contrast, even of this very weakness itself. Both cherished an absurd ambi tion ; but the ambition of Congreve was ignoble as well as absurd, and that of Richelieu, if just as ill-warranted, was at least aimed at a glorious, a profitable, and a lofty object. It was not un worthy of a statesman to remember that Caesar was a great author ; and though Richelieu mistook the value of his own culture, he made no mistake in esti mating the honour, the worth, and the importance of the new character in which he was anxious to extend his activity and to confirm his power. He began too late. Literature generally demands the earliest la bonrs to confer tardy rewards—so tardy that, like its effect and its influence, they are sometimes post humous. And it has this extraordinary fate, that though no other occupations, however eminent, not those even of politics or of war, will prepare their votaries to shine in letters, yet there are a thousand historical instances to show that a life spent in the "bookish" closet may lead to the brilliant statesman ship and memorable legislation of a Papinian, or even to . the military triumphs of a Lucullus, an Epa snmondas, and a Peterborough. Hitherto the history of great nations, with the exception of one or two of the ancient republics, has shown that ignorance is the general portion of the great body of the population ; rudimentary educa tion, split into various appropriate or inevitable de partments, the lot of the middle classes ; and literature the privilege of a few select spirits. In our own day a greater stir and even a violent move ment among the masses attract the attention of states men. There is a rage for literature, and, above all, for scientific literature. Science, has, indeed, done wonders for us ; made the sea as the land, brought the distant near, pierced mountains, and dispatched i our messages by the hand of the light ning. It s no wonder the people should thirst for knowledge ; they see its power, they have tasted its advantages. To its possession they look besides for political consequences. Schools are founded, institutes arise, libraries are opened, athenaeums are multiplied over the face of the land; the people cry out to be instructed. 'Who instructs them ? Does Mr. Cobden ? Ho has political declamation to offer for the excitement of their feelings ; ho has adulation to bestow on their merits; he urges the reduction of the taxes which maintain their national defences, and which afford means for the endow ment or aid of every local establishment which they may erect for their self-improvement. He had also denunciations in plenty to hurl against the aristo cracy; and meantime that aristocracy is busy in every part of England in doing what none of the agitators ever dream of attempting, in meeting the honest wishes of their countrymen with purse and with pen,—with word and with act. The lectures for some time past delivered at town halls and me chanics' institutions all over England—lectures, some of which are worthy to be preserved for ever, have, in almost every instance, proceeded from men of rank ; and two facts are made evident by this singular spectacle in the actual or contemporaneous history of our country. First, those who feel a real sympathy in the efforts, and a genuine and practical interest in the destinies of our labouring population, are the members of the English aristocracy. Secondly, they alone have been found adequate—as adequate and as able as they are willing—to take the lead and to show the way in the educational movement of the people. The accession of the present Government has given an impulse, which everybody must have remarked, to these noble exertions. At the head of those who have thus bent their cultivated minds to the service ef their fellow countrymen stands, beyond all question, Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton, the most finished and universal man of letters of this age. The views which he enforced before a large audience at Hertford have suggested the thoughts which we have here but touched; and if his hustings' speech (converting the clamours which met his appearance into the shouts of enthusiasm which recorded at once and explained his triumph) surprised those who did not expect i n the habitual scholar, " sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought," the unquestionab le eloquence with which he bore down all opposition; and it that speech had the strange merit of combining the solidity o f a recent lecture state-paper with the popula rit y of a ballad, we ma y in a similar manner truly sa y that the or oration at Hertford, on the uses of " Knowledge," was a whole treatise of philosophy, so arranged a n d so composed, so full of wit and of allusion, and so thoroughly adapted to the taste and capacity o f th ose to whom it was add ressed, that it proved as delightful t Sun to hear as it is profitable to he study. of W the 29th of la s t observe that a Liberal contemporary, month, has copied this lecture, a master-piece of cl os e reasoning, of rapid eloquence, and of brilliant ima gination. Neither the Duke of Argyll nor th e D u ke of Newcastle, neither the Ho n . M r . C owper nor the Earl of Carlisle, not one, in fact, of the many able and e minent men who have entered this new are na of intellectual exertion has produced anything evincing .such knowledge of our countrymen and of their habits, such mastery of all the resources of scho larship, or an eloquence so various, so masculine, and so successful as Bulwer Lytton, the victor in other fields of mental conflict, has now thrown forth with out an effort in the opening of his new public career. It is no doubt exceedingly ill-bred to oPeRk Of Any The pluralist Archdeacon Hale has presided at a meeting of the London clergy " To consider in what manner the clergy may best express their opinion upon the encouragement which will be given to in creased desecration of the Sabbath, if the Crystal Palace, now erecting at Sydenham, shall be opened as a place of public recreation on the Lord's day." In this uncouth statement of the object of the meet ing, there is the logical offence called begging the question, but which, in this instance, we should rather describe as stealing the question. What right have these eighty clergymen, with the fat pluralist at their head, to assume that the opening of the Sydenham Exhibition after morning service will be a desecration of the Sabbath ? Does a rich nobleman desecrate the Sabbath when he walks through his picture gallery on the Sunday? Does Archdeacon Hale desecrate the Sabbath when he sits in his library on the Sun day, surrounded by works of learning, inviting his thoughts and attention ? Is it a desecration of the Sabbath to gaze at objects of art and master-pieces of invention ? If so, it matters not whether it be under a canopy of glass or under the vault of heaven, and he must be as sinful who allows his eyes to dwell on the grandeur of St. Paul's or the beauty of West minster Abbey, as he who admires the marvels of art in an exhibition. The question really is reduced to this—whether the use of the eyes is to be permitted on Sunday, except for reading the Bible, and Prayer book. Nature does not shut up on Sunday in honour of the Sabbath. The exhibition of the Creator's works is always open, and always inviting the admiration of the beholder, sermons in stones, and good in everything. No one will pretend to say that his Sabbath is passed, that it can be passed in meditations exclusively religious ; and if there must be some portion given to secular thoughts and recreation, the question is, whether a channel may not be opened for them, innocent and improving, enlarging information, and stimulating an intelligent curiosity. People who have toiled six days of the week will not pass the seventh in prayer alone, and the simple alternative is whether their re creations shall have an addition in a Sunday-school of art and science, or whether they shall be confined to their present enjoyments of the steam-boat, the railroad, and the tavern. No spiritual blockade of a great city has yet succeeded. Glasgow is an example of the consequence of holding a place in state of siege against all the innocent recreations , and Glasgow, for inebriety, and every abomination of coarse sensuality, is the opprobrium of Great Britain. Excursions by boat and rail are better than sotting and debauchery ; but there are recreations bettor still than Gravesend, Greenwich, and Richmond merrymakings, and the Sydenbam Exhibition is calculated to furnish them. It will open a new illustrated book to the public with giant pages of art and science. The taverns and the steam-boats will be the losers by this new attraction, and sobriety and intelligence will gain. In all the arguments for circumscribing the recre ations of the bumbler classes we see paraphrased in many forms the remarks of the French princess on the distress of the poor in a scarcity, " Why don't they eat buns ?" With like understanding the Presi dent of Sion College, professing all liberality with regard to the amusements of the people on week days, insisted on debarring them on the Sunday. The good man has no objection to their enjoying themselves on days when they cannot enjoy themselves, he would only forbid their recreations on the only day they have for them. Next hear, Dr. Croly, figuring to yourself a burly purple priest, who might serve an artist as lay figure for Dives at his feast : " I shall be told that the humbler orders, and those who are confined to trade all the week , require amusement to refresh them. I cannot accede to this; the proper refreshment is rest, according to the origi nal command ; a quiet walk, and no city more abounds in parks—the domestic meal, and the do mestic evening ; these are in the power of every family, and these are worth, for the refreshment of mind and body, all the glittering exhibitions, and hurried trains, and eager amusements of the world." He cannot accede to the postulate that people con fined to trade all the week require amusement to refresh them. Toil is to be content with not toiling for one day in the seven, or with a quiet walk in one of the parks (which parks these Pharisees have tried hard to close)—with the domestic meal (which they have endeavoured to suppress, crying for the prohibition of Sunday baking)—and finally, with the domestic even ing. Here we have the Duchess de Maine's buns again. " The domestic evening" of the London la bourer I See him in his easy chair by his clean cheerful fireside, in a carpeted, neat, wholesome cham ber, with his family circle about him, relaxing exactly as Dr. Croly relaxes, after having delivered a sermon rich with Irish eloquence. See him on his crazy stool, in a close unwholesome, frowzy garret, cowering over a handful of coals, testifying to warmth only by smoke, with a wife and family grumbling that the upshot of their holiday figs been the aforesaid quiet walk, tantalising them with a view of the pumps and vanities of the world in the promenades of the rich. The quiet walk, the domestic meal, the domestic evening, in the power of every family, is, for the re freshment of mind and body, according to Dr Croly, worth all the glittering exhibitions, hurried trains, and eager amusements in thu world. And yet we have prelates with their palaces, their equipages, and their thousands a year, and archdeacons with their pluralities hardly to be numbered, and Crolies with their fat livings 1 What do these holy men want with all these things, when the quiet walk, the domestic meal, and domestic evening once a week, should suffice for human happiness in the condition of the greatest toil ? Why don't the archbishops take a quiet walk instead of ten thousand a year ? What occasion has the Archdeacon Hale for all those pluralities, when the 'domestic meal, and domestic evening, in the power of every family, would be his without the practical contradiction of the Gospel precept that riches are the root of all evil ? In the same strain the Rev. T. B. Murray asked, "Was there no other way of supplying them with innocent enjoyment than opening the Crystal Palace on that day ? Were there not the green fields, the comfort and quietude of home and family, and snanY other things, which they now happily possessed in common with the rich ?" Think, sum up, if you have the power of such Ca' . - culation, the many things which the poor common with the rich ! The rich have every do y, possess in every hour of their lives, some of that ver e e x i lelid inent which the Sydenham Exhibition would:1 exhilitien to the poor.

Sir,—la the following observations I have venture4_ the assumption that the increase o f th e wea lth of thir• country has been in an equal vatio with that of the po pulation. In 1812 the Property . and Income Tax produced 13,628,0001., which at 2s. in the pound, or 10 per cent., without reference to the portion which paid less, may be considered as indicating an income of 1112,284,0001. In cluded in this amount is 13,136,0001. levied on incomes under r e Itasxo7.lsaidY9Onr'rb‘cynlB42. Sir Robert and Peelprofe i s n sions not inc'uded in Therefore, deducting from ... £136,284,000 Tho incomes:under 150/, a-year ... 113,136,000 Leaves ... .£123,148,0(0 The population of 1812 was about 12,000,0 00 , and in 1842, when the present income tax was imposed , rather above, 18,500,000. Assuming that the national wealt h had increased in the same r a tio as the population, th e amount liable to assessment should have been 189,853,0001., which amount, taxed at 7d. in the pound , should produce 5,537,0001., or rather more than 5,500,0001. On the 11th of March, 1852, the late Sir Robert Peel estimated the produce of the tax at 3,771,000/., and therefore I do not venture on the 26th September, 1842, when I published my Income Tax Tables, t) estimate the proceeds of the fex at more than 4,500,0001., as cer tain exemptions were made on incomes from land, houses, &0., under 150/. a-year, and likewise from te• nants paying less than 3001. a-year in respect of the oc cupation of land. The following is a statement of the gross amount of property and income tax received:- 1842 ... ,Z 5,608,54811847 £5,834,795 1843 ... 5,504,157 1848 ... 5,791,332 1844 ... 5,476,497 1849 ... 5,669,876 1845 ... 5,711.224 1850 ... 5,617,275 1846 ... 5,791,06711851 5,538,880 It is not necessary to discuss the question whether a direct or indirect taxation is the best, but admit that a tax upon income is a convenient mode of obtaining a cer tain large amount of revenue. However, I very much doubt the wisdom of discarding all other sources of taxa tion, and substituting a tax upon property. Fifty mil lions annually raised in this way would trench on realised capital; and if nearly ten times the amount of the present income tax had to be raised, it would certainly not be ten times the amorint of the present tax to the present payers; but if our payments on this account were only quintupled, no little dis3atisfaction would be evinced. All our present taxes, both direct and indirect, may be consi dered as paid out of income, which is composed of newly created property, and forms a kind of floating capital, the balance of which, after all expenditure has been satisfied, becomes the gross investment for the year, and is our addition to realised capital. A perusal of the evidence before the committee of the House of Commons, whose first and second reports are befofo the public, will point out the many difficulties that surround the subjnt, and prevent almost the possibility of arriving at any mode of levying the tax which shall be theoretically just and practically possible. I would, therefore, venture to propose an arbitrary ad justment, based on two simple descriptions of income, viz.:- 1. Permanent income. 2. Temporary, precarious, or industrial income. If the tax on permanent income be fixed at 4 per cent., while the tax levied on temporary incomes—as trades, professions, &c.—is only charged 2 per cent., as an average, I think the arrangiment would be accepted as fair and equitable. On reference to the evidence berore the committee of the House of Commons, it will be found that one half is the average suggested to be adopted when the parties under the proposed new system should omit to make a return of their age. It may be said that if 2 per cent, is a fair tax on tem porary income at the age of 40, it is too much for a man of 50, and too little at 30; bat if the average be nearly just we must be satisfied. Viewed theoretically, it certainly seems quite right that all property protected should contribute to the ex penses of the State in an equal ratio; but the principal difficulty of obtaining returns of the amount of every map's property, as well as of his net income, is insur mountable. To my mind, the evidence before the com mittee is conclusive. Assuming that the tax is imposed at the rates I have suggested, and that no exceptions are to be allowed, we shall find that the revenue derived will enable us to re lieve the pressure of various taxes at present noting in juriously on the commerce and energy of the country. If we continuo the assumption, that the wealth and population of Groat Britain have increased in the same proportion, we may take, as a basis for our calculation, the fact that the 12.000,000 of people in 1812, have in 1852 become more than 20,000,000. * Adopting the mode of calculating followed in 1842, as an approximation to the truth, we shall find that the total amount of assessable income will now not be less than - - - - - £227,140,000 And of this amount the temporary incomes from trades and professions will be - 57,306,000 Leaving - - - - £169,834,000 of incomes liable to the higher scale of taxation. Therefore permanent incomes of 169,834,0001. at 4 per cent. - - - - £6,793,000 And temporary incomes of 57,306,0001. at 2 per cent. - 1,146,000 Making a total o'. - Z 7,939,000 Allowance is not made for a deduction of one-fourth from the rentals of occupation, but I feel confident that the margin is sufficient, and that the annual amount of the tax may be fairly estimated at more than 8,000,000 L or 2,500,0001. than is at present raised by the tax on pro perty and income. As there is a reasonable prospect from the increasing prosperity of the country that the surplus revenue may also amount to a large sum, we may hope that very nearly 5,000,0001. of other taxes will be removed. As it is of importance that the number of articles sub jected to taxation should be as few as possible, the first i►em deserving oar notice should be that of Produce in 1850.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, w hi ch have produced more misery i n Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Tho treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Alert, himself one of the few legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, 1 every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and u ltimate cure are described in detail. The professio' reputation of Dr. La'Alert, who has taken the most distingu ns ished medical an 4 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.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS pea. TIMES.—We publish this morning a remarkable communication from Mr. Edmund Fry. Or the au tograph itself we are unable, in consequence of our unpictorial character, to convey an absolute idea, for Mr. Fry's note-paper is headed with a stock engraving of a dove in full flight distributing rays of Koolwill over a subject world, and surmounting an atnospheric emblem inscribed, " Blessed are the peacemakers." We must needs presume, however, that this hiero glyphic is intended to symbolize the ordinary spirit and tendency of Mr. Fry's correspondence, and we can present the reader with a very pretty opportunity of judging how far the charity of the bearer corres ponds with the device on his shield. The militia of the kingdom is at this moment coded out for exercise-50,000 strong. It is reasonable to suppose that of this body some 45,000, at the least, are young men of an age peculiarly ex posed to certain temptations. They are proba bly somewhat more adventurous, careless, or ex citable than the bulk of their fellows, and they either are or have recently been in the pos session of an unusual number of shillings in ready money. One of these young militiamen has, it happens, been brought to the bar of a police-court for an offence against the laws, and Mr. Fry incontinently addresses the public through our columns in sarcastic denunciation of a calling of which " th e on ly practical incident yet announced is burgi ary .o Assuming the co mmitment of this particula r o ff en d e r as an un doubted indication of the character which all militia men either already enjoy, or will b e pu t in the way of acquiring, Mr. Fry proceeds to suggest that • 50,000 burglars would appear thus to have been raised "at a great expense," to undertake the "se curity and protection" of a confiding country. This " unpromosing announcenem'' is an exposure, in his opinion, of the injustice committed by Government in prosecuting the members of a " Peace Party" which did but protest against an institution thug practically developed as a nursery of crime. Mr. Fry clearly sat down to write to us on the spur of the moment. His heart jumped to bis lips as he read of the " new uniform" figuring at the bar, and he cannot even in his note forbear a blow at that scarlet abomi nation which drives bulls and peacemakers frantic. He runs at a red coat like a buffalo, and must shut his eyes in the same manner, for, if he had used the smallest circumspection or foresight, he would have detected the p er il s o f his charge. The case in ques tion was one of five which our police reports of that day contained. The first was that of a youth who, though well paid and well treated, robbed his master of goods to the extent of 301. The second was that of a medical student, who exemplified his professional learning by scarifying a woman's face with a corro sive preparation of iodine. The third was that of the militiaman. The fourth was that of a merchant captain, whose outrageous drunkenness had compelled his own crew to put him in irons ; and the fifth was that of a chief clerk at a railway station, who had embezzled a c o nsiderable sum of money. Now, what would Mr. Fry, as a peacemaker, think of anybody who treated apprentices,medical students,sea-captains, and railway clerks, as he has pleased to treat militia men ? Or what would he say if we took a leaf out of his ow n book, and spoke of his own calling? The Qua ker who of late years has attained the greatest amount of notoriety was named Tawell. This man, after proving that minor punishments had no effect in re claiming incarnate vice, committed a foul and cowardly murder on a woman with whom he cohabited, and paid for the consummation of his inns on the pubiic gallows. Are we to infer from this " practical inci dent" that the Society of Friends are all murderers ? The Quakers who, as a body, have achieved the greatest political distinction in the present age, are the drabcoated men of Pennsylvania. These people set what has proved a too attractive example of roguery and repudiation. Ought we to have inferred from this 4' uncompromising announcement" that all Quakers are swindlers, or should we be justified in turning round, with Cohhett's own outburst of in vective, upon " those unbaptised, buttonless black guards ?" It is plain that Mr. Fry reads the Times 1 with that regularity and attention which his business requires. He detected the guilty recruit in an instant, and his comment was in our hands before even a November sun had set upon Printing-house square. But this was not the first report con cerning the new militia. The training and exercise has now been proceeding for several days, and from each county we duly received and chronicled intelli gence respecting the muster, equipment, and discip line of the various corps. In almost every one of these reports it was particularly stated that the men were conducting themselves in their new station with marked order and propriety. Yet Mr. Fry never took these " announcements" for a text. He never addressed the public on the " promising" prime( c•s afforded by such general good behaviour on the part of 50,000 young soldiers, although every statement had reference to some 600 examples. He waited in the silence of Broad-street -buildings till a single de linquent could be discovered, and then he fell, pen in hand, on 50,000 of his countrymen, under the motto, " Blessed are the peacemakers." It is useless, we dare say, to bespeak our correspondent's " confi done" in the secur it y and p ro t ection" which a ~- )d oats; I L_.
