A NEW DISCOVERY in TEETH—Mr HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet. street, has in introduced AN ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIPTION of A RFIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wir,•s, or li gatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth, as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will NEVER CHANGE COLOUR OR DECAY, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does net require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and are guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication; and, that Mr. Howard's improvement may b• within reach of the most economical, he has fixed his charges at the lowest scale possible. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mastication.-52, Fleet-street. At home from Ten till Five. MARCH EDITION of the POST-OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY. Now Published, price 245., containing " Parliamentary Directory," giving the most recent Parliamentary Intelligence, and the present town Ad dress of each Peer and Member. Official Directory. Street Directory, the only one published of the Metropolis, to include Nobility and Gentry, as well as Merchants and Traders. Com mercial Directory. Trades Directory. Law Directory, and complete Lists of Stamps. Court Directory, including thou. sands of names not to be found in any other work. City Di rectory. Postage Directory. Conveyance Directory. Bank ing Directory, &c. &c. Ile following Reviews of the Complete Directory have already appeared : Times, December 3, 1841. This useful matter-of-fact volume has just been published by Messrs. Kelly and Co., of Old Boswell-court, Temple-bar, and will no doubt be, as it ought to be, in the hands of every merchant, banker, and tradesman in the country. It is, independently of its utility, by which it is rendered indis pensable to every counting-house and shop, a curious sta • tistical monument of the extent, importance, trade, and wealth of the metropolis, and as such a document deserving the attention even of persons who are not immediately in terested in commercial and business pursuits. The present volume for 1842 contains some important new akatier, with which the preceding volumes were not furnished— as an im portant addition, " The offibial Directory," an tlaphabetical list of all persons holding situations under the Crown, of all persona holding situations in the East India House, in the Bank of England, and in the various law, city offices, and all other public offices. This addition is of itself enough to show the great pains taken by the Proprietors to render the book perfect. 'I here is also some useful information given relative to the " Money Order-office," to which, if the public would pay more attention than they have hitherto done, less would be heard of the loss of money by the transmission of remittances by post in the manner usually adopted. The number of stamps issued to the various newspapers published throughout England and Vales is given, together with the amount of stamp duties on advertisements paid by each paper respectively, and, Indeed, a mass of information is brought together from which the best informed ma y derive some increase of knowledge, and to which the at tention of the most ignorant and careless can hardly be called in vain. As far as the cursory examination can justify an opinion, and it is next to impossible to pay to such a work as this the minute attention it deserves, it appears to be compiled with indefatigable industry, extreme vigilance, and an excellent judgment for arrangement. Morning Post, December 29, 1841. The charge, whether tine or false, brought against the " An nuals," that, however pretty they may be, they are of little or pa use, cannot in any degree apply to this singular publication. Within the single volume, neatly brought out by Messrs. Kelly and Co., of Old Boswell-court, Temple-bar, is comprised all the information that can be nseful to the fashionable, legal, or commercial communities. "It includes a " Court Directory," which alone contains about five-and-twenty thousand names ; a" Law Directory" of the most ample description, giving, among other details, no fewer than sixteen large pages of a " General List of Stamps ;" an " Official Directory," with an index of six thousand persons holding situations under the Crown, in the Bank, the East India House, and other public departments; the " Commercial Directory," perhaps the ful lest and most complete that has ever yet appeared, and a variety of miscellaneous matter -which it is impossible to particularise here. In short, from our own observation, we can safely pro nounce this work a " sine qua non" to everybody who desires to become acquainted with the great metropolitan world of London. Morning Chronicle, Dec. 21, 1841. We have had occasion to commend the extraordinary diligence and accuracy shown in getting up the " Post-office Oirectory" for former years, and no less praise is due to the publication of the present volume. It contains the same immense mass of information relative to the metropolis, 'which renders the work one of the most astonishing monuments of the greatness of London that can well be conceived. This information appears clasaified, distributed, and arranged in a variety of ways so as to make the facility of reference nearly perfect. The corrections necessary from the changes of a year appear, as far as it is possible to judge, to have been carefully made, and it would be difficult to over-estimate the labour involved in such corrections. We recommend it to the favourable con sideration of the public ; and, in fact, it must be regarded as disvcnsable in every house, or office, where business is trans acted. To those, if there be any, whe have not seen it, it will convey the best notion of the variety of its contents to ray, that the single volume of 1,500 pages contains a Streets' Directory _Trades' Directory—Law Directory —City—Parliamentary— Courts—Postage—Banking—and Official and Conveyance Directories—each a large work, and complete in itself, though the whole are requisite to a publication which professes to be a Directory for London. Morning Herald. Nov, 30, 1841. This is a most complete and extreme 4 useful work. It em braces every point of interest in and near the metropolis that can affect the wants of the community at large, and is service able to all classes of society. Under one general head it con tains a series of Directories, in which are enumerated all the Trades, Streets, Nunes, Official Designations, Parliamentary, Legal, Banking, and Post-office referees's, that are in daily re quisition ; and while it is of the most ample dimensions (es tending over 1,500 pages) is accurate in the minutest particu lars. No public office or mercantile house should, in fact be without it. Sun, November 25, 1841. We have great pleasure in noticing this useful work, of which we have received an early copy. It exceeds the size of the Directory of last year, and probably is the most complete and correct town-guide yet published. The following outline of the contents will enable the reader to form some idea of the vast undertaking. It contains an Official Directory, with the names alphabetically arranged, of all civil officers under Go vernment, in the Bank of England, East India House, and all other public establishments. A Street Directory, which in cludes gentry as well as traders ' • and subjoined to this, are two others, giving the names at full length, of sixty thousand per. sons engaged in commerce, and lists of two thousand trades established in the metropolis, with the tradesmen attached to each, and the subdivisions of every trade accurately defined. There are separate Directories also for the Court ; the Par liament, with the most recent addresses of the Members of both Houses; the Law, with a list of all officers from the Lord Chancellor down to the usher of the most inferior Court : and the City of London, with the names and addresses of all City Officers, Companies, &c. The Court Directory includes the names of twenty-five thousand persons not engaged in trade, and takes a wider range than any other work of the kind. The information respecting the Post-office will be found eminently useful to persons of every description ; and among ether additions made to it for this year is one of great importance, showing the time at Which a 1 tter from London should be delivered at any place in England or Wales, and the time at which the letter-box for London closes in each place. The facilities afforded by the Postmaster-General give the compilers advantages which could not otherwise be obtained The information is furnished from the Post-office gratuitously, it is of the latest possible date, and has been all collected or confirmed within the last two months. We have had little time yet to test its accuracy, but have no doubt that it fully maintains, in that respect, the high character of that published for the year 1841. The work is beautitully printed, sold at a moderate price, and will be sound of greet service to persons in every rank of e. STEAM TO NEW YORK.

Weekly Dispatch, Nov. 280841, . - We have been f a v oure d with a sight of this elaborate work and we must pronounce it vastly superior to the previous vol. umes. The contents are admirably arranged. There is a distinct alphabetical li t of the names, in number, of all civil officers under Government, in the Bank of England, East Jndia House, and all other public estab:ishments ; an alphabetical list of streets in the metropolis and its vicinity, with the inhabit ants according to their numerical order in each street; the only Street Directory yet published which includes gentry as well as traders. There is also a list of all officers, from the Lord Chan cellor down to the Usher of the most inferior Court ' • Police Courts, with their officers an d j ur i s di c ti ons ; a l p h a b e ti ca l lists of Queen's Serjeants, Queen's Counsel, Serjeants at. law, Benchers, Ba ri.ters, Special Pleaders, Conveyancers, Proctors, Attorneys, Notaries, &c. Tr.e names of all persons in the metropolis and its immediate vicinity not engaged in trade, are given with the most accurate lists yet published of the New Parliament, and the most recent addresses of the Members of both Houses. There are, besides, the name and addresses of City Officers and Common Councilmen; City Companies and their clerks; lists of sworn brokers ; Lieutenancy of the City, &c A list is given of all the principal places in England, Ireland, and Scot and distinguishing those which grant and pay money-orders, land, referring to the money-order office nearest to those which do not ; and an alphabetical list of the streets of London, with a reference from each to the nearest receiving-house which grants and pays money-orders. This will afford the opportudity in all cases, in town and country, of applying to the nearest office for a money-order, and of obtaining it upon the office moat contiguous to the residence of the party in whose favour it is drawn. Another important introduction this year shows the time at which a letter from London should be delivered at; any place in England or Wales, and the time at which the letter-box for London closes in each place ; thus affording the opportunity of calculatin g in all cases the " return of po s t." i n d e p en d en t o f all this information, we have copious accounts of all conveyances by railways, stage-coaches, waggons, carts, vans, vessels, barges and boats ; with complete accounts of all the bankers, joint-stock-banks, and banking establishments of the United Kingdom ; the names of the Directors and officers of the various Assurance Companies, with the rates of Assurance, &c ,are also furnished in ample detail. One great feature in this work is, that it directs an individual to the position of any number in the street, by noting the intersection of churches, courts, streets, lines, alleys, &c., between one house and another. It often happens that a person may forget the name of the tradesman he wants, although he knows the street. The Street Directory in this book helps him out of this difficulty by giving the names of the inhabitants of each house of No. l upwards. Sunday Times, December 5, 1841. This useful work is just published ; it is, in short, a Com mercial, Trades, Law, Court, Parliamentary,City, Postage,Con vey ance, Banking, and an Official Directory. It contains an almanack, list of stamp duties, Post-office rules, and, in fact, a body of intelligence too great for detail. Respecting the accuracy of such a work, it is, of course, impossible to speak; the most inveterate Magliabechi that ever gulped quartos, or bolted folios, would scarcely undertake the perusal of a Direc tory. It is not saying too much to declare that the Post-office Directory is a work unexampled even in this country. To ap proximate closely to the communication of the names, resi dences, and trades of the inhabitants of London,a task from which a literary Hercules might flinch. Railway Magazine, December 4, 1841. Judging from the great superiority of the last edition of this work over its competitors, we did not anticipate the improve ments which have been effected in the present, which not only place this Directory at th• head of the list, but must drive; the others out of the field. An entirely new division has been introduced, viz., the " Official Directory," which furnishes the lull names and positions of all persons holding public situations under Government, the East India Company, the Bank, &c. The scope of that important branch, the " Street Directory," has been very considerably extended; and thou sands are now included, who reside without the narrow limits beyond which our books of refeienee have not before passed : here we have a register of all, whether dwelling in Barns bury Park, Basinghall-street. or Belgrave-square, in King's road, Chelsea, or in Kingsland ; and one of the great advan tages peculiar to this publication is, that all inhabitants are inserted in their numerical order. We know of no other street list in which either all the gentry, or all the mer chants, traders, and tradesmen, are not —incredible as the fact may appear—entirely omitted. We may mention that it gives the names of the Directors of most of the Railway and Insurance Companies, and a complete List of Officers of Joint- Stock Companies. The " Parliamentary Directory" is co pious ; in it the offices held by every Peer and Commoner are accurately detailed, even to the recent appointment of Lord Ellenborough as Governor-General of India, and of his suc cessor at the India Board, Lord Fitzgerald. The "Postage Directory" furnishes much original and highly valuable in formation in reference to Money Orders, and to the precise time of the deliveries of letters throughout the country. A volume so valuable as this will be generally appreciated. It does honour to the establishment which can put forth so vast an amount of authentic information of character so diversified, and it reflects credit on those who have so arranged it that the work is eqnally a model of compilation and of typography. We cannot but think that a title more appropriate than merely " Post-office London Directory' might be chosen. The work surely merits a name that would convey a definite idea of in formatinn so vast and varied, uniting as it does, in one volume, Directory, Court Guide, and Court Kalendar, and superseding the whole class of similar publications. Globe, December 1, 1841. This useful " Annual " comprises, among other information, an Official Street, Commercial, Trades, Law Court, Parlia mentary, City, Po s t age , C onveyaece, and Banking Directories. It is only necessary to announce the publication itself, and to add that, arranged as it has been with care and attention, aided by sources of official information peculiar to itself, it may be taken as a safe guide in the various matters upon which it professes to enlighten the public. Britannia, November 27, 1841. The old proverb says it is good to let well alone ; but we see no possible reason why well should be left to stand still, se long as better is clearly attainable; and such appears to be the opinion of the enterprising proprietors of the " Post-office Lon don Directory." The present edition is superior in many re spects, to any of its predecessors. On its first appearance, it was a neat and correct pocket volume—nothine. more; but it has gone on improving and augmenting from year to yerr, till, by the mere force of its manifest superiority. it has fairly beaten every competitor out of the field, and become, from the variety, copiousness, and accuracy' of its information, an indispensatte requisite to every count ing-house and shop in the metropolis and its suburbs. It would be quite impossible, in a brief notice, to give anything like an adequate idea of the contents of a closely-printed royal octavo volume, running to upwards of 1,500 pages. It can only be justly described as a series of Directories, each one complete in itself, and each of peculiar value to every per son engaged in business. For instance, is the residence of any particular person required, a reference to the "Commer cial" or "Court Directory" will at once give the de-ired in formation. If a complete list of all persons engaged in any one of the various professions or trades exercised in the me tropolis is sought, turn to the " Trades' Directory," and you have, ready to your hand, arranged in alphauetical order, and with the residence attached, a return of every ac countant, apothecary, artist, &c., &c., within the limits of the bills of mortality. It is the same with every other depart ment of the work. We have never seen any volume containing so much matter, so well divided, and clearly arranged. 7he intimate connexion of the proprietor with the Post-office en sured him the most accurate information; and his printers' extensive printing-office and steam-presses enabled him to issue his sheets with surprising rapidity; so that every change is made up almost to the day of publication. The whole book is worthy of the mighty city it anatomises ; the most correct, as wel , as the most useful, record of its industry, its vastness, and its intelligence ; and, if we keep in mind the enterprise neces sary for the conception of such a work, the immense care re quired in its preparation, the enormous capital required to produce it, and, considering its bulk and variety, the sur prisingly low price at which it is issued, we must pronounce it, notwithstanding the typographical wonders daily issued from Preis, the most surprising volume to which the first city in the world has yet given birth. John Bull, November 27, 1841. Again we have to bestow our praise on the completeness and cheapness of the multifarious information comprised in the Post.office London Directory," which comprehends within one moderately-sized volume, of clear and easy reference, a Commercial, Trades', Law, Court, and Parliamentary Direc tory. It is at once the fullest volume of the kind, the most ex act, has the most recent intelligence—the information it em bodies having been collected within the last seventy days from official sources, and through agents possessing the requisite lo cal knowledge, and is altogether the completest guide-book to the metropolis that Sp hitherto appeared. ectator, Dec. 4, 1841. This extensive work still continues to grow. Besides a revi sion and extension of the other branches, the Official Directory has now been increased so as to form a division of itself. This part, like the other sections of the subject, is subdivided ; one part containing a list of Government and other public offices, under which the names and employments of the persons are arranged; the other presents an alphabetical list of persons holding offices under the Crown, in the East India House, Bank of England, &c.

The following statement of an extraordinary affair may be relied on, as our . information is derived from a source which precludes all possibility of doubt : A Mr. D., an Austrian subject, but a Venetian by birth, and formerly an officer in the Atistrian naval service, was, some years ago, sentenced to five years' imprisonment in the Castle of Spielberg, for having been intimately connected with the Carbonari in Italy. At the expiration of the term of his imprisonment he obtained permission from 11:.s Government to leave his country, and has been absent up to the present period, the Austrian Government, howevr, not entirely losing sight of him. lle was for some time resident in• Paris, but lately his scene of action has been the Spanish frontier, where he suddenly presented himself at General Rodil's head-quarters, as the embryo secretary of an Aus trian embassy to Madrid, stating that the Court of Austria had determined very shortly to recognise the young Queen Isabella of Spain. The important news was rapidly transmitted to Madrid, of course with all possible privacy. Our adven turer soon followed, and was received with open arms by M. Gonzales, the Minister for Fo reign Affairs, to whom, as well as to the other Minis ters, he communicated the joyful intelligence that very probably Austria would be willing to guarantee a new Spanish Loan. Much was now made of the quondam prisoner ; Gonzales gave him a dinner : the other Ministers followed his example, but as a necessary precaution, he was not presented in any official capacity. In the meanwhile, no doubt for a consideration, more than one capitalist got a hint of the projected loan, and were desirous of offering Such, then, are the to the ear ly part of him their services; every coniraunicMion, however, being conducted with the greatest secrecy, and the the present month , when f e a o c n t v s e o r f s atthi this m ysterious Re suspicion rested on the impostor, and the Sp an ish Allnistry m h y el s d ter in iou w s h a isp ffa e: i r r s. up entertained not even a doubt of his representations. It is needless to mention that Mr. D. is a mere adventurer, and that his mission had reference rather to the recruiting of his own finances than those,of Siain, which latter his own have for some time nearly resenNed in their des perate state of embarrassment: THE TRUCK SYSTEM IN REFER ENCE TO THE. LAND AND TO Tila CHURCH. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlA,—The oft repeated cry of heavy burdens on the land, led to inquiries which proved that the land owners in their capacity of legisl itors, had in the imposition of taxes greatly favoured themselves at the expense of the rest of the community. In like manner, the recent attempt of Mr. 'errand to excite public indignation against the manu facturers, by calumnious, statements alike dis graceful to himself and to the men who listened to them with delight, ought to turn the eyes of in telligent men towards the Land and the Church, with which the greater number of the Members of both Houses of Parliament are intimately con nected. It would be easy to show that the truck system prevails, to as great an extent in agricultural districts and amongst Ecclesiastical persons as it is said to do amongst manufacturers. It would be easy to produce cases of agricultural labourers, low as their wages are, and made still lower by the deduction of rainy days, who are kept for months without their wages, and are ultimately induced to accept in pay ment wheat, flour, and potatoes, at such price as the farmer chooses to fix upon them. You would not have to travel far in the county of Wilts without discover ing that the cottages which stand upon the farm, and which are said to be -held-by the labourers rent free, do in fact form part of their 'weekly wages.' Ail( the farmer how it happens that he gives an able-bodied labourer only 6s. or 7s. a-week, when the same la bourer would obtain elsewhere Bs. or 95., and he will tell you that the wages are; in reality, the same, but that the cottage, or cottage and garden, are equiva lent to 2s. a week, which, with the 6s. or n. in money, make the total wages of Bs. or 9F. • Go amongst the clergy, and you will make a simi lar discovery. What clergyman is there of some years standing in the Church, who has not met with cases of young men just leaving the University, who, after the great expenses of an academical education, are anxious to provide an honest income, but who are compelled to officiate for the first twelve months without any stipend whatever, and whose only remuneration has been a title for orders, with out which they could not have been ordained by the bishop, but which was never intended to be a source of emolument to the incumbent, or to be sub stituted for that pecuniary hire of which the clerical labourer is worthy. It would be easy to state cases in which the pro prietors of land, being also proprietors of livings, which are upon their estates have made bargains with the clergy to whom they are about to present these livings ; and thus putting into their own pockets large amounts of ecclesiastical revenue, to which they have not the least claim, as it is clear that when they pur chased their estates, the tithes upon those estates being public property, were not included in such purchase. In this case, the patron taking advantage of a clergyman's necessity, or want of principle, instead of paying from his estate the full value of the tithes, induces the presentee to accept such a maintenance as may be derived from the living thus robbed, and wishes him to consider the honour of promotion to a rectory and the security of a fixed income as substitutes for the remainder of the tithes which would be justly due. Nothing is more common in the payment of curates by non-resident incumbents than to con sider the parsonage-house as a large portion, and not unfrequently the entire amount of the curate's salary. In the Ecclesiastical Gazette for this month, a publication which enjoys the patronage of the Bishops and Clergy, appear the fol lowing advertisements : " Wanted for twelve months or more, to take charge of a small country parish, a Curate, by whom a good house, well furnished, would be considered a sufficient remuneration for his services. Address the Rev. M. A., Mr. Robinson, s t a ti oner , 114 , Fen church-street, London." " Wanted a Curate for a small parish, beautifully situated within sixty miles of London. The rectory house is furnished, with some land attached to it, and would be considered a remuneration. A title to orders if the testimonials are satisfactory, can be given. Address A. B. Post-office, Tr uro , C ornwa ll . " " The use of a well situated Parsonage-house and garden, in a southern county, not far from the sea, for a period of from three to six months, to be agreed on from the beginning of April, is hereby offered to any incumbent of sound Church principles and expe rience, on condition of undertaking for the time the care of a country parish. Address A. 8., Post-office, Tunbridge ' The following instance' of the Clerical Truck System, in a parish less than forty miles from London, has recently come within my own knowledge. The value of the living is 4501. a year, the curate lives in the parsonage house, and his salary is as follows :—a furnished house, fifteen acres of glebe land, and ten pounds in money. If questioned upon the subject the rector would state that he gives his curate 1001. a-year, and would leave the impression that he retains for him self, for doing nothing and for perpetual non-resi dence, only 3501. a-year, but when we come to ana lyze the curate's stipend, it stands thus : Furnished house £6o Glebe land 3O Money Total £lOO The curate, during the time of my visit, having called my attention to the state of the house, which is out of repair, and to the furniture, the better part of which, he informed me, was his own, declared his opinion to be that the house and furniture were not more than half the sum at which they were estimated by the rector. I asked him why he did not call upon the incumbent to repair the house out of the large income he received for noing hothing ? His reply was, that it was perfectly useless to make any application to the rector, and that if he were again to write to him on the subject, it would probably lead to a quarrel between them, and end in his leaving the curacy. If the adoption of the truck system by the master manufacturer, who pays the workman for work done for himself, out of property possessed by himself, be an evil, how much more enormous is that evil, when out of public money, received by the rector, as a trustee, on certain conditions, the work done for the public is so unworthily paid for. I have known curates who have had no other sa lary than the surplice fees which they received for marriages, christenings, and burials. I have known others in places of fashion, whose stipend has con sisted in the scarfs, bands, and gloves, which were presented to them at funerals and weddings, the fee itself being delivered up, according to engagement, to the rector. Many clergymen are induced to enter upon such arrangements for the same reason that manufacturing operatives accept goods instead of mo ney, because the supply of labourers, whether cleri cal or manufacturing, being greater than the demand, the employer has the opportunity of making his own terms. There is, however, this important differ ence between the two cases ; that when the master manufacturer makes unworthy stipulations with his men, he is driven to do so by the difficulties of trade, caused by the Corn and Provision-laws ; whereas the employer of curates is influenced by no such neces sity. With him all is prosperous ; and. whatever be the misfortunes of other men, his income of 5001., or 1,0001. a year is secured to him for life. Whatever may be the hard lot of the operative when out of employ, that of the curate is quite as bad. Always liable to be dismissed by the rector, or at the pleasure of the bishop, without any reason being assigned; . and ultimately compelled to give up his income of 401. or 601. a-year, when sickness or old age approaches, he is thrown upon the wide world without any provision whatever. Lord Stian - hope, instead of expressing sympathy with the distressed manufacturers, declared the other day, in the House of Lords, that they ought to be compelled to support the operatives, whom in prosperity of trade they had employed. Why does not his Lordship include the incumbents in his contrary declarations ? The sons of the wealthy have pensions from the State for a few years of easy service ; soldiers and sailors retire on half-pay, but the well-paid clergy who denounce the cruelty of the manufacturers, give little pay to their clerical ser vants whilst doing their work, and leave them, when sick or superannuated, to suffer the extremeties of po verty, lam Sir, your obedient servant, THOMAS SPENCER. Perpetual Curate of Hinton Charter house, near Bath. Hinton, near Bath, March 22, 1842. A melancholy event has happened at Romilly-sur- Seine. A forest-keeper, named Obriot, being with some corn. panions posted in trees to watch some wild boars which had been committing devastations, had the imprudence to leave the tree in which he had plaad himself, and to enter some brushwood, where the motion and noise which he occasioned led his companions to think it was a boar, and one of them hav ing fired, Obriot fell mortally wounded. He lived only long enough to pardon the error of. the man who had killed him, and who was overwhelmed with grief Lt the misfortune.

The Municipal Council of Calais have voted a sil ver cup, worth 300 f., to Mr. J. Slater, mate of the Widgeon pathet, for his conduct in saving the crew. Of the Minerva on the night of th e 10th. The Humane Society of the same town have also decided on applying to the General Shipwreck So ciety for a gold medal for Mr. Slater, and , silver ones for the English sailors who assisted him ON that occasion ; also gold medals for the pilots, and silver ones for th e French sailors who attempted, though in vain 'to save their countrymen. We regret to announce the death of Mr. T. 3ltilli gen, Editor of the Bath' Herald for nsore Usan 16 years. He had been missing for some days, and on Sunday last the body was found in the Avon, between Norfolk-crescent mud Dredge's-bridge. Much as we approve of Sir Robert Peel's plan, which only fearlessly follows out., and even goes beyond - that proposed by the late Ministry, through Mr. Baring and Mr. Labouchere, yet we cannot say we approve of on Income-tax. A Property tax would have been just and unobjectionable; but the inquisitorial nature of an Income-tax is revolting to all.' We can only say for our neighbours, that scarcely a tradesman in the High-street of Pert mouth, can tell what his last year's profits (which constitute his income) were; each would rather pay double tax for the house by occupies than have his books examined, or be subject to an inquiry into his circumstances. We vote for a property and not an income-tax.--Hants Chronicle.
