The object of this Company is to give to the publ c, in its inter- Course with the North of Europe, tke full benefit of the imoroved 'Mere of transit for mails, passengers, and goo Is, which the great 'Peed and combined arrangement of the railway system now render Practicable. An immediate exten-ion of exis'ing means of transit is necessary to meet the large and increasing importation of cattle, fruit, and all agricultural products, from the North of Europe, to supply the vat Consumption of the central and manufacturing districts of England ; while the great and increasing export trade in mand.actured goods and materials from these districts, which are sent down by railway to the coast, requires the same improved facilities for its transport across the North Sea. To meet these demands, it is intended to combine and establish a rapid and more f equent co between London, Manches ter, Liverpool, and all the principal parts of England, and the pi inci pal ports and cities of the north of Europe, by means of express steamers running in connexion with express trains. The ports on the east coast of England, to and from which the Company's steamers will, in the first instance, arrive and depart, are Harwich, Lowestoft, and Great Grimsby. The two former situate near the entrance of the Thames, and on the extreme eastern coast of Great Britain, and in direct communication, by railways, with London and all the south and east parts of England, the latter more conveniently situate for Manchester, Sheffield, Liverpool, and all places in the nerth and west. Other ports of departure will be added to these as the ^ • Venience may require. From these ports express steamers will run in combh express trains, by which will be conveyed malls, passerg and merchandise, from London and the south-eastern parts of Eng land, and from Manchester, Livereool, and all parts of the north ant west ot Great Britain, for Rotterdam, Antwerp, Ostend; Ilaminirgii, Bremen, Denmark, Norway and Sweden, Copenhagen, St. Peters burgh, and all ports of the north of Europe. By combining express trains with foat steamers, passen3ers will be conveyed.— FROM LONDON VIA HARWICH. To Rotterdam in ... • • • • • •••• • • • • •• • • • FROM LONDON VIA LOWESTOFT .. . .•.•. ... .

THE SINKING OF THE DUCHESS OF KENT STEAMER. GRAVESEND, WEDNESDAY.—This afternoon, at one o'clock, the jury empannelled to investigate the death of \lr. John Sard, who lost his life by the collision between the Duchess of Kent, Ramsgate, and the Ravenabourue, Antwerp, steamers, which took place in the river, off Northtleet, on the Ist July last, and by which the former was sunk, re-assembled fur the third time, at the Town ball. before Mr. Hiller, the borough coroner, further to prosecute their inquiry. An additional batch of witnesses, who were present when the accident occurred, were examined, but their hesatbde,:ged to say, evidence contained nothing worthy of being added to the statements of the casualty which have already appeared. On the conclusion of evidence, air, MO, on the part of the friends Of the deceased, wished, before the coroner addressed the jury, to offer en 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 had been recovered was conveyed to the offices of the Commercial Steam racket Company, in Fish-street-hill, 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 deal of supineness, was the fact that, amongst Mr. Sard 'a luggage was a small oorttolio containing an order for 501.. which ho (Mr. Hind) had forwarded to him, and two circular 10/. notes, h part r t t h then produced,the sali companys Salisbury street, there tr yi n. but the most singular part of the business was that the company kept the property for 19 days without making the slightest effort to find out Mr. Sard, although in the cover of was legibly written the fallowing, " The address of the owner of the portfolio, which street, Stre i n h t i l s , London, Eugland." In addition to this pocket-book—John there was on the order for 50/. his (Mr. Hind's) address, slightest idea not taking any steps for 19 days to find out the friends in sh 0 , ( v 7f:i t, ii rgtie..Z:;:ttic,T;re:.oll the This, of Mr. Saud.

A juror remarked that the company perfectly we ll knew what bad happened, and the very fact of a person not applying for the space of nineteen days for his lug gage ought, and no doubt did, create a suspicion in the minds of the authorities of the company that the owner was lost. Mr. Parkinson said the reason they did not make in. quiries was that they were hopieg every day t o get up all the luggage. when they intended to advertise it a l to ! . gether. The CORONER expressed his conviction that the mat. ter was one of immense importance to the public, an d then proceeded to read over the evidence, commentin as he proceeded on its conflicTing character. The threge questions the jury had to decide were whether, in th e first place, they considered the collision tv,s from an accident consequent on the st a t e o f t h e t id e, or whether there was any culpable negligence or blame attaching t') those who had the charge of th e D uc h ess o f Kent, or of those who had the command of the R avens b ourne at the f time. If they were of opinion that any one was to blame they were bound to let this matter go before ille another tribunal. The jury, at a quarter-past five o'clock, retired to cOD eider their verdict, and after an absence of nearly two hours, they returned into court. The Foreman then read the verdict of the jury as fol lows;—" That the deceased John Sard came by his death throueh an accidental collision between t he Duchess of Kent and the Ra vensbo u r ne steamers, o ff' Northfleet, on the Ist July , 1852." The jut , J cannot ' separate without expressing their feelings in terms of strong condemnation, in cons. quence of the neglect of the owners of the Duchess of Kent not advertising th e property of the said John Sard, in their custody, they having had the means of ascertaining the same from papers found in his luggage, which was saved from the wreck. - The professional gentlemen attending for the various parties having tendered their ackowledgments to th e coroner for the way in which he had Conducted the in vestigation, and for his court es y and urbanity, t h e pro. ceedings of this protracte d and important inquiry ter minated, 'clock Lord Ernest Bruce had an interview with Mbe, Se cretary Walpole yesterday.

' TIMES.—The extracts -from the American jour nals which we yesterday published, and which we re but samples of an ex t reme l y cop i ous assor t tne nt, w i ll serve to convince every reader of the succes s with which Lord Derby's Ce.binet, if really without serious intentions, ha s con t r i ve d to mystify the G over nment and people o f th e U n i ted States. Th e orga ns of the Ministry at h ome h ave authoritat i ve l y d e clared that, with respect to the north-eastern fisheries, no new chirn has been advanced and no concession with"; drawn, and that even "the di s p u t e d i n terpretation of the technical t erms o f t h e treaty of 1818 rem ains where it wai." If ;U s b e i ndeed the case , we can only observe th a t th e p rotectors of the co l on i a l fish& ries are es difficult to u n d erstand as the pro t ec tors of the British farmer, an d t h at the authorities an d peo ple of the Union have baen >ed into very unfortunate mis conceptions. Suhstanii%lly and that, as we have already explained, re l a t e s to the interpretation properly applicable to the term " bay the Americans professi ng t o understand by th i s p h ra se the narrow creeks and inl e t s o f the coast exclus i ve l y , an d the British Government ma i nta i ning that large b a ys, "disputed poin t , , i n speaking* the convention f been but onelBlB, such as that of Fundy, to :he south, and that of Chß leur, to the north of Nev Brunswick, are compre hended no less effectually than the smaller coast in dentations. This is the point which, as the reader is now aware, has been "dispized" for more than thirty years. The British Government never made any sur render of its views, though it conceded a certain re laxation in respect of the Ray of Fundy ; but the Americans, although, of confess incompetent to give imperative effect to their own interpretation have practically acted upon it to a considerable extent. By the announcement that this question " remains thatwhere n n i t st w e p a was" awe beencantaken only Understand an assertion to place the subjects of either Government on a f oo ti ag diff erent from t h a t prevailing twelve mo n th s 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 1 British Go vernment to ma k e the " disputed inter pretation " more important than it h as b een f or th e 1 , list seven years. gow 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 this document he stated that an "en- tire change of policy " 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 stilt treaty engagements, they ought to be excluded. What fishing-grounds Mr. Webster here understood is conclusively shown in the sequel of -his notification. After quoting at length the operative clauses of the convention of 1818, and explaining the "disputed interpretations" of the word " bay," he proceeds to ob serve that, in 1841, the Legislature of NOVA Scotia submitted tin 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 purposes of fishing, notwithstanding their central waters might be more than three miles distant from either shore. "It is this construction," continues Mr. Webster, " which the colonies have ever since desired should be enforced ; atd this," he adds, " the English Government has now, it would appear, con sented to do." 'Without prestming to be acquainted with the true intentions of Ministers at home, we must remark that nothing tan be clearer than the light in which such intentions are regarded abroad. Mr. Webster, in his proper Ministerial capacity, writing in the name of the Government, from a Government office, and 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 " extensive business of the New England fishermen will be completely interrupted" in consequence, and that all con cerned, therefore, should ' , stand on their gu r a . r c d a . n Such is the impression produced on the Ame n ' we Government by its official information, nor . ca Pak. see, indeed, how even on the face of Sir Jon been formed.

The brilliantly exclusive as When 1 f. other day the public were startled by an announce ment which possessed, in an eminent degree, the merit in question. A most important treaty, of which very little, or rather no suspicion whatever was en tertained at large, had, it appears, been in existence for several months. In fact, it had been formally signed on the 20th of May, 1852, and this not by plenipotentiaries, but by three powerful Minarchs, with their own hands —the Emperor of Austria, the Emperor of Ruesia, an d t h e Ki ng of Prussia.

It opened with an invocation of " the name of the Most Holy and Undivided Trinity, like the treaty of the 26th of September, 1815." A careful and minute digest of the engage ments to which the three Northern Powers are affirmed to have bound themselves on the present occasion, is furnished to the public by our vigilant con t e mporary. 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 received. Wherever the writer 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 im portant convention. It refers to the assumed intention of Loui s N a p o l eon t o untrymen so will it the imperial office revive, if his co in s le ' f h ' - And now, m ne t , ere is the gist of the in France. determinations which . e o ur te c d e b n y em tb p e orary avers r to have been thus solemnly d - Louis ap Napoleonthree ovver . s :- 1.

The reason llbe but a change of title, and not a a change w 1 wer in Prince Louis Napoleon. Here we change of p l o observe that the:reason attributed,bears would merde yertainly futility on the face of it. Such fallacy an c id have bad little weight with the three a reason "uuestion.

Now, if the reason al terior measures 1 ° w ith the three powers in the leged as eveign " e ventuality," be evidently un first alternative, or real, the reasons asc ribed to them for their proposed policy in this second contingency are absolutely far last twoand-art cical. The events of the enti first-m " treaty," permit us oned - article of this very co mbined with the no o ther word. The reasons i n q uestion are two. The first is derived from the t rea ties of 1815 and from the renunciation made by Napoleon of the throne of France, for himself and or . the ies all his representatives f uite ever B oth tre any, and (the former a nd the renunciation q t he latter in an addi save the Bourbons, tional manner, any mem er b of the Bonaparte particular)from ever wearing :the family in And yet this new " treaty ' binds French crown. the three powers be t o recognise Louis Napoleon as Emperor in case be so proclaimed merely for once insists on Napoleon's life. Thus, this treaty at renunciation as a bar which forbids any Bonaparte from wearing the French crown; and the same t rea ty provides that a Bonaparte shall, nevertheless, be allowed to wear it, and thu s not onl y to nullify the renunciation, hut, by a mighty precedent, to make it far easier for those who come after him to treat it also as null. If the rule is not binding no w, will it be ' come more binding after it has been broken ? The second of the two reasons is, - the sacredness of the 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 is the Count de Chambord." Was ever ar gument so felicitously timed, so gracefully remembered ? " Present heed." It bcems he is now the head of that. house ; and we presume he was not its head while the Orleanist dynasty reigned. The three powers, we are to believe, quite overlooked this fact while they had Louis 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 suddenly recollected that he was not the rightful head of the Bourbons. But even then, when a Republic, ignoring all hereditary right, whether of emperor or king, whether in elder branch or in younger, threatened the real tranquillity of Europe, we heard of no such treaty in favour of the Count de Chambord. The recognition of Louis Philippe and the recognition of the French Re public werei both departures quite as violent from the rule of forcing the principle of hereditary right upon other countries, as will be the recog nition of Louis Napoleon's life-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 with 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 that a principle is valuable is one thing ; it is quite another thing to say that we ought to force every valuable principle on reluctant neigh bours at the point of the sword. For us, there are no parties in France; there is but France herself. And he who makes her prosperous, and who soonest and 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 " untaxed 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 way 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 ao often threatened to institute. The whole inquiry is, in truth, irrelevant e xcep t for purposes of controversial hostility. It is f or English financiers to adjust taxation to the circum• stances of their own country, without regard to the political or economical considerations which may influence foreign Governments. They may be well assured 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 more heavily taxed in:England than:on the Continent, it would by no means follow that the landowner is entitled to compensation or relief, nor, on the other hand, would the far heavier burdens imposed on his foreign competitor afford an answer to a well-founded complaint on his part of any substantial grievance. His advocates are hard pushed for a pretence of injustice, but when they can bring forward any plau sible claim they will, no doubt, be entitled to a hear ing., They will, however, a c t p ru d en tly es rega . 7 the interest of their client s , i n a b s t a i n i n g from a reCy be ductiors of two of their habitual co mmon-piece s beet-root and the tobacc o grievances. It bas nro b said that the English f armer i s prohibited fNin of sugar ducing that thin and tasteless invitation hes un which, in many parts of the continent,efi restsd ction is der protective duties. But the supoo:_ - e the same duty altogether imaginary. Oa paym ent imported from the which is levied on genuine sugart liberty to produce colonies, English industry is a , B . 9 ma y. be considered beet-root sugar as dear and b c 4 connected with the desirable. The only, grieve:. absence of protection for beet-root question- is nu f a cture. facture. The prohibition an inferior article of m a is rea lly enforced, by a law of home-grown tobac.aatwo .centuries old. But it which is now near e l e Y et a revenue of 4,000,000/. is must be recollected f 1 , 11 7 less than 1,200 per cent. on raised by a tax 0 and if aca ntemiling fix" all imported tobacco; cise duty were imposed on the home-grown plant, not a leaf would ever be produced in England. The absolute prohibition is, in fact, cheaper and more effectual than would he 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 beet-root and tobacco cries forms a strik ing illustration of the feebleness of the cause fir which be deems such arguments available. The most plausible demand put forward on behalf of the landed interest concerns the large revenue derived from ties 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 will not occasion serious discontent. 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 th e art ifi c i a l i ncrease in the price of malt. i‘ r. Jon as , i n d ee d , state d b e f ore th e Committee of the l House of Lords that the Malt-tax, by enhancing the cost of the bee r consume d b y hi s labourers, increase d his expenses 6d. an acre. But this, as Lord Mont eagle truly observes in his reort " cannot be called a special burden on real property , ' unless it be con tended that the London in the docks i s not a s coalheaver and worker.. much a consumer porter as the agricultural lab . of ale." An acute man of business, even though he be a Protectionist farmer, generally comprehends economical qu e sti ons bear on his private transactions. Mr. Jonas evidently i understands that his interest in the Malt-tax is that of a c onsume r, an d not of a prod ucer ; and itis from a similar p e rc e ption of the tru e bearing of the question that the party w h o advocate the sy s t em of raising duties have never addedser seriously revenue by indire c t attacked the M a lt-t ax , although they haveimpost to their li s t o f grievances peculiar t o th e land The real opponents of the malt duty, and of taxeso d ncommodities in rent quarter. Budget duties general, must be looked f or in a iffe Mr. Disraeli, in his successful speech, levieddrew a fanciful distinction between Customs on foreign productions, and Excise revenue whi c h 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 conside ration in its turn, as an impost which may probably be found to be of an elastic nature. Tee, 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. Bd. per quarter on 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 hops has 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 in the 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, but 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 firm s from thfe a n sal a e r , tie a l t e a the pr m ic a e fixed in the days of Prot ection, have made nufacture of which legislative changes comparatively cheap. The consumers, and, to a certain extent, the pro ducers, of beer, are taxe d in at least t a h n r d ee th w e a l y .e s—viz., du o ty vv , e that mono i o en o sin l g through the malt duty, t he ho p system, to which the brewers Of the malt-tax p a n n y d which they so grossly abuse. of the brewers' profits we have already spoyen, and we will not at present discuss the protection which is afforded to malt agains t the competition of sugar and molasses. The hop duty necessarily augments the price of malt liquors to the purchaser, but 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 bops would, of course, he re moved at the same time; and it is doubtful whether a f ree competition with Belgium and Germany would all ow the English producer to extend his cultivation. Th e whole area of soil at present devoted to the production of hops is about 50,000 acres. The repeal of the tax has not been regarded with much favour by the land owners since Mr. Cobden has spoken and voted in favour of its abolition. It i , a curious illustration of the levity with which popular doctrines are sometimes repeated, that some professed supporters of free trade have not hesitated to propose that the Customs duty on hop s the removal of th sh ou ld be retained, notwith standinge impost levied by the Ex cise on dome s ti c pro d uce.

The arbitrary - of the farmer's profits at one-half of his rental must, en a n average, be highly favourable to his interests. No r esident 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 hooks, for farmers have liberal notions on certain subjects. In some districts the mistress of the establishm en tclaim s the poultry for pin money, without acknowledging 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.

Farmers, however, were never silent suffer ers, and their complaints are rendered more audible by the circumstance that they possess Wes. For sea venal years their professed advocates in Parliament remonstrated against the hardship of paying a tax on an assumed income, when perhaps in an exceptional year no profits 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 o f excess , s i nce a centre of oscillat i on mus t lie between two extremes. Nevertheless, it was re peated again and again that the advantage which a fortunate farmer might gain from the mode of as sessment was no compensat i on f or the losses sus tained by a less pr osperous neighbour • and a year or two of low price s naturally obliterated the recollec tion of a time vt hen th e t ax was probably paid on a mere moiety of the profits. The coincidence of agri cultural distress with Ministerial difficulties at last overcame the reasonable objections of fi nanc i ers ; an d iu 1851 Sir Charles Wood consented to give tho farmer an appeal against the assessment founded 11 on the rental. At presenP, therefore, capital is invested in agriculture under the most advan tageous conditions, so far as fiscal burdens are con cerned. However great may be the profits of a suc cessful year, the occupier is only required to pay Income-tax on half his rental. If, on the other hand, his gains fall below the a=sumed value, he is alloyed a deduction for the deficiency. The exemption of farmhouses from taxation, and of agricultural produce from the duly on fire-insurances, is not a more dis tinct benefit to farmers, as compared with other classes than is the present system of levying the Property tax. It is true that rents are still rated equally with every other species of income ; but even landowners cannot 'pretend that the most secure of all kinds of property ought to be exempted from ordinary bur dens. As usual, however, they complained in the name of their tenants as long as it was possible to dis cover the shadow o f a gr i ev ance. The Stamp duties have been reduced and simplified since the inquiry which was instituted by the House of Lords; but the heaviest burdens on landed property are still to be found in the taxes imposed by the State and by the law on all transfers of real property. Lord Monteagle, in his draft report, justly points 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 its annual value than in England, is in itself by no means conclusive. In France and on the Rhine, there is much competion for small freehold and little for farms. M oreover, capital has in Eng land a hundred channels of investment, w hil e i n poorer countries it is habitually laid out in the pur chase of land. There are many other reasons which show that a sound economical condition by no means implies a maximum in the number of years' purchase 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. A commencement has been made in Equity Reform, but it may be doubted whether t h e benefit will reach the land.

Our old friend the Megmra —w e have um pleasure in observing—is being prepared for fresh triumphs by the hand of the dockyard people at Sheer ness. They are caulking and paying her decks with Jeffrey's marine glue. They are making alterations i n her internal fitments, and placing a coat of prepared mineral pitch upon her bottom. Despite of all these im portant changes England, we are told, is justified in ex pecting that within the three weeks the Megaera will be afloat again. Meanwhile, the reputation of the Admi ralty has been ably sustained. Uno avulso nett deficit alter. While the Megrera has been in dock, 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 no right to expect any such rapid passage as is habitually made by the Brazil line of mercantile steamers. She was sent home, in pint of fact, on account of the dangerous state of her boilers, and so it was necessary to navigate her at a re duced pressure. Allows Lee, however, has its limits— and whether those limits have in this instance been ex cP,ded must be judwd from the following facts. Tne time bill of toe AteL.mra since her departure from Rio stands as follows:—Ri. on the 18th of April, Bahia on the sth of May, Pernambuco on the 15th, and: . F.tyal on the 231 of July, off Pl) mouth on Friday last, and ar rived at Portsmouth on Saturday nieht. The Harpy left Pernambuco with 150 teas of coal on board—as much or more than she could stow. Her decks were choked up with the coal in order to supply the shortcomings of the ,-“OW3ge below. With this supply she steamed httadily away for the depiit at St. Vincent's, and was within a comparatively short distance when it was found that the supply of coal was exhausted. A desperate cfrort must be made to keep the boilers going. Everything was thrown into the firs—coal sacks, moss tables, old junk, the cabin doors, everything, in short, that was not absolutely necessary 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 officer in command of 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 them a chance of reaching this haven alive it was neces sary to put the crew on a reduced scale of provisions and water. They apperr to have suffered very considerably from actual hardships, and still more from the terrible apprehensiona of the fate that in all probability awaited them. At last they made Fay al, the very day they were reduced to only one day's further provision of water. The commander had directed his men to catch the condensed steam and add it to their slender supplies in the tanks, or they would not have reached Fayel without enduring the sufferings inseparable from actual privaaion. Fayal had o ccupied T 6 h 9 e da p yl ssa ' g r e he fr e o n m lv P w e e r n ri damerbiur ho to w even in the British na v y en officer conic: be found to com mand and a crew to work such a craft across the wide Atlantic.

But as it appears to our uninformed minds Tabu: t Bare py ap , although it might have been an unsafe thing that the Harpy should be sent to her machinery, it would not have involved any very great amount of danger to have sent the necessary machinery to the Harpy. To be sure, we are not the Lords of the Admiralty, or great people at the dockyards, or anything of that sort; but we have in the course of our little experience heard of simple minded merchants sending the requisite machinery for steam-ships across the waters of the Atlantic. Of course it was a question of expense in the second place—for the first question was one of humanity and prudence. Was it worth while to incur such an expense at all? If this question was decided in the affirmative, it was certainly best to get the necessary work executed at as cheap a rate as possible. What would have been the coat of freight ou one side; and what the cost, on the other hand, of maintaining the Harpy's people forinththe months and a half staggering about the e difficult.cof t a most imminent peril of their lives?
