IMPERIAL PATENT WOOD PAVING.— The great superiority and economy of this mode of paving are now practically before the public by the specimen now laid down twelve months opposite the mansion of the Wght Hon. Lord Ashburton in Piccadilly. This part of Piccadilly is on the descent, and is universally admitted to afford a severer tot than any other system of wood paving has yet been submitted to. No pegs or iron ties are necessary, and no difficulty occurs in removing or replacing one or more blocks for repairs, nor is it necessary to use spike nails to re-fasten the blocks as lately done in Regent-street. The form and position of the blacks prevent the grooves wearing in ruts as seen in Holborn, and yet afford a secure footing for horses. Contracts to any extent attended to on application to Mr. S. M. Cooper, Secretary to the Imperial Wood Paving Com pany, 9, Old Cavendish-street, Oxford•strect. GENTLEMEN'S DRESS, in the most approved style, at J.

THE LONDON GENERAL MOURNING WAREHOUSE, established for the sale of every article requisite for Court, FaMily, or Complimentary Mourning, Nos. 247, and 249, Regent-street, near the Circus, Oxford street, W. C. JAY and CO., proprietors..--The managers of the above establishment beg leave to call the attention of ladies to its peculiar utility, and to the advantages presented by their undertaking. It has ever been a source of inconve nience and regret, on occasions when mourning attire is re quired, that its purchasers have at such a time been com pelled to the harassing necessity of proceeding from shop to shop in search of each distinct article of dress. This evil is now most completely remedied at the London General Mourn ing Warehouse, where every description of mourning, milli.. nery, dresses, cloaks, mantles, shawls, &c., of the best qua lity, can be purchased at thi . - reasothible lyffeeg; and every article necessary for a complete outfit of mourning, may be procured at a moment's notice. The millinery rooms contain an assortment of mourning sonnets, caps, end head-dresses, with a well-selected variety of skirts for first and following mourning. The dressmaking is superintended by an expe rienced artiste. Country orders executed with the strictest punctuality. I UNN'S FINE AIWA ND LAMP OIL. The excessively high price of Spdrm Oil is fast causing the elegant Table and other Lamps, made on the Argand prin ciple, to be lad aside. The ARGAND LAMP OIL is con fidently offered to the public as a substitute for Sperm Oil, it burns with a clear bright flame, without smoke or smell, does not obstruct the tubes of the lamps more than the best Sperm Oil, with the advantage that it does not chill with the cold ; it consumes much slower than Sperm or other Oils, conse quently is little more than one-third the expense of Sperm Oil, and for Solar Lamps has been proved, by experience, to be cheaper than common Oil, without the offensive smell. Half a gallon or upwards will be sent to any part of Town, as a trial of the advantage and economy of using the Argand Lamp Oil. • Sold by John Dunn, Oil and Italian Warehouse, 59, Cannon street, City.

FOSTER, the ACCOUNTANT. , MR. FOSTER has instructions to submit for SALE, in Lots, as prepared for Auction, 27,0001. worth of LINEN DRAPERY GOODS, being the Stock adver tised for Auction on the Premises, CORNER of FLEET STREET and FARRINGDON-STREET, trading under the firm of IIEBBLEWHITE and CO., notice having been given that an auction is not permitted by the lease. Mr. Foster, in calling attention to this immense sale of goods, begs to remind ladies and families that they are not expected to realise more than half the orig inal cost, the object being t o c l ear the whol e o ff th e premises, a nd any portion remaining must of neeessity be removed to his Auction-rooms. Ladies are soli cited to make allowances for the awkwardness of the assistants, being mostly young men from his office, consequently unused to this method of selling goods over the counter. The following is about the reductions intended to be made. The linens being the larger portion, will be reduced as under:— s. d. 730 pieces of Irish linen, mostly Knox's make, that cost from Is. 6d. to 2s. 2d. per yard, ladies may choose from all, at 26 yards, for About 850 of his curiously fine numbers, worth from 2s. 9d. to 3s. 31. per yard, will be likewise reduced to 26 yards for 1,600 or more pieces that are soiled, amongst which are sonic warranted fabrics, will be reduced to 26 yards for 21 0 The sheetings and table-linen require particular notice. The respectable family trade carried en for thirty years at the esta blishment rendered it necessary to keep none but fine and war ranted goods, consequently ladies will not be subjected to the chances usual on selling off stocks of risking the durabiliit v. Fifty pieces of linen sheeting arc reduced to be sold in the length only at 4s. 6d. to 10s. 6d. the pair, those at 10s. 6d. being three yards wide, and real Barnsley manufacture, having originally cost 2s. 9tl. per yard. Should the length be found in convenient a further reduction will be made in the price. The tablecloths, although of the finest description, are mostly soiled, consequently the reduction must be immense. Some superb damask cloths, three yards long, will be sold as low as 6s. 6d. each ; lots of good linen breakfast cloths will be marked from Is. to 2s. 6d. each, and about 130 cloths, from three to six yards long, many worth three to four guineas, will be sold none higher than fifty shillings. Mr. Foster wants ;al offer for the following lots from the trade :—Ribands, as per book, 1,830/.; lace, as per book, 640/. ; gloves, as per book, 143/.

Mr. Foster would not have undertaken this sale had he not felt satisfied of the character of the goods to be sold, and ladies m ay depend that every article will fully answer the description given in this advertisement, or at the time of sale. The prin cipal part of the stock having been kept in their wholesale ware houses, will be found in good condition, and any person buying in large quantities, no obstacle will exist in the way of price ; also a liberal discount will be allowed off the bill when if ex ceeds 101.

A meetin ,, of the Aggregate Liberal Committee was held yesterday afternoon, in the Merchants' Hall, the Lord Provost in the Chair. Several hundred members were present. Sir JOHN DA.LTEL addressed the meeting in refer ence to the gross inequalities of the income tax, which he illustrated by reference to the situation of mer chants and professional men, as compared with landed proprietors. gir JAsfr.s . fiinsnx-(,`w,po i ft:ftn illustrating the op pressive nature of the tax at some length, and main taining that no man of proper feeling could ever quietly submit to such a degree of injustice as he described, Sir James proceeded to deny the truth of Sir Robert Peel's statement, that the tax was neces sary, and therefore the country must submit to it. There was no necessity fir injustice.—(Great ap plause.) With regard to the amount of the tax he thought it dangerous from being so little, because an attempt would thereby b e made to reconcile - the peo ple to it, until it mi g ht at length be lookedupon us one of the ordinary ways and means of raising money. Were the tax necessary, he for one would not object to it ; but Sir Robert Peel had in eff'ETt ad mitted) in the strongest manner, that it was'not ne cessary by the reduction s he made in the tariff.' Sir James concluded ; ; by, moving the tax. resolutions cond6uning A i rseconded the r eso l u ti ons . Th e in eipallityßLA and injustice njnstice of the income tax, he said, had not been brought .out more f orc ibl y than by a speaker in the House ()Nimmons, who stated that when the tax was in force•previously, Glasgow paid 600,0001., while Manchester, with double its amount of capital, paid only 300,0 0 0 L— (Hear, hear.) Upon a prin ciple of equal justice, M anc h es t er o ught either to have been assessed to the amount of 1,200,0001., or Glasgow at. 10,000/. Another great objection to the income tax was the facility -with which, when first imposed, it could be screwed up. Whenever there Government, had to do was to add another per cent. was any shortcoming i n th e revenue all, that th e But there was nothing more odious about the tax than its inquisitorial character. In this respect it was quite worthy of a despotic 'Government. It had been well said by a clever periodical writer that the only war at present was a war by the landlord against the community at large—(Cheers)—and it was in order to enable them to carry on this war ,that the tax was laid on. Sir Robert Peel told the landlords that it was their interest to put down discontent and disaffec tion. Well did Sir Robert know the source of this disaffection ; and therefore he told them that it was better for the landlord to pay the tax and put it down. Sir Robert proposed to exempt all farmers under 3001. rent. Now, the great bulk of the farmers in Eng land were rented under 300/., so that the farmers would, in this way, be almost all exempted, and s&) much money put into the pockets of the landlords. There was, altogether, something mean in Sir Robert's whole scheme. Ile sought to conciliate the House of Lords by maintaining the Corn-laws, and to disarm the Irish - Members by exempting Ireland from the income tax. Why should not that Church which Was wallowing in wealth contribute its fair share to the revenue Than, in order to conciliate the work ing-clasK•a, he proposed to exempt them from the tax also; but, if they knew their own in terests, the working-classes would see that the did not escape so free as at fi rs t a pp eare d - ; for, suppose that fifty millions were dmwn from the pockets of the community by this tax, was not this just taking away so much money, which would other wise have been employed in trade, and, without which, the manufacturers and tradesmen must employ He concluded by seconding the motion. wages ?—(lleac.) fewer workmen, and give lower 'the resolutions were carried unanimously. Mr. W. GIBSON CRAIG, UP., was one of ✓ those who had voted for delaying the consideration of the income tax ; and he had done so - for the purpose of allowing the people time to hold such meetings as the present to express their opinions. The career of Sir Robert Peel as a financier had been altogether a Most unfor tunate one, being neither agreeable to his friends nor satisfactory to his opponents; and that his present scheme was one of the greatest blunders he had ever committed.—(Cheers.) The meeting then adjourned. MEETING OF ME MERCHANTS' ' COMPANY. Yesterday forenoon, at ten o'clock, a meeting. of the Merchant Company, called by requisition, took place in their hall, llunter-square, "to consider the pro- priety of petitioning against the income tax." Mr. in the Chair. A. A J b a o m u i t es s o ix n ly M m a e sta :i f: s It%l,ieereCporienspeannt.y, Mr. J. F. MACrARLAN proceeded to show the hardship of the tax. Schedules, he believed, would be sent to parties to fill up with the amount of their income, and, when filled up, these would be returned to certain Assistant-Commissioners, and-made acces sible to the Survey-or, and, if these parties were not satisfied with the return, they would have the power to surcharge it; and, if the surcharge was to be the same as formerly, this was double the amount men tioned in the return. Suppose a person to g i ve i n hi s income at 4001. If the Commissioners, judging from t power of maki ng a surc h arge, ften a very bad this too little, indexh e ext o e f r n al prosperity—shouldappeti a7c e ofthe s o hi p k they would have the and thus tixing the person upon 8001. If the party should wish redress, he would have the right to be heard before the General Commissioners ; and they it seemed, were to have very _extensive powers to de mand precise information. His books would have to No. 15,467. he produced, his customers perhaps examined, and th. whole nature of his business laid open, it might be, t his rivals in trade. This was an amount of exposul , which no Government had a right to expect from th, subjects of a free country.—(llear, hear.) The i n . come tax would press unequally upon merchants, tradesmen, physicians, &c., who were dependent upon .their daly labour, as compared with proprietors o. landed property. lie also ,maintained that, while an it come tax was at all times oppressive, it would Ix io in the present peculiar circumstances o the country. He had heard the tariff of Sir ilober' reel praised as embodying an amount of wisdom Etta short of Solomon's, if not somewhat beyond it; fo while Solomon was said to have brought " apes a r. peacocks from abroad," Sir Robert was to allow nil importation of asses, of whom he (Mr. M'F.) thought the country had enough already.—(Laughter.) For himself, he had not been able to see such great marks of wisdom in Sir Robert's tariff as some pretended to find. He remarked that when the people called out for a reduction of the taxes on food, Sir Ro bert Peel took off the duty on • corks, as if that would satisfy their wants, whereas, the conse quence would merely be to destroy the whole cork cutting trade in the country.—(Hear, hear.) Th: fact was, that while corn and food. remained at their prckejtjukw4Uhe ,whole mained the same as EVW, OI never could compete with their brethren on the Con tinent; and, therefore, we found, that whenever they did come into competition, the former were beaten. Such would be the state of the cork-cutters and shoe makers, if Sir Robert Peel's tariff were carried. But place them in the same situation as their brethren on the Continent, and he •believed our handicraft la bourers would honourably maintain their position. When, however, the general taxes' were so exceed ingly heavy, and when, in addition to these, our ' tradesmen were burdened with the support of par ticular monopolies, they never could be expected to do so. lie had heard that there was a stand ing order of the House of Commons, by which . the people were prevented from petitioning against any new tax, while under consideration. There must surely be some mistake in this ; for what was the House of Commons but the people them selves by deputy assembled there ; and were they to be told that they were not entitled to state their feelings on any subject that might be brought before them ? If, however, the Company could not obtain direct access to the House of Commons, they could do so indirectly, by addressing those Members individually-who had opposed the tax. This would only cost the printing of the resolutions.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. M'F. then moved the adoption of his resolutions,' which were seconded by Mr. A. Thompson. Mr. JAMES M'LAREN supported the resolutions. On a division, the resolutions of Mr.Macfarlan were carried by a majority of 54 to 4. THE YEOVIL GLOVE TRADE.- THE NEW TARIFF. The number of men, women, and children depen dent upon this trade for their means of existence, is upwards of 20,000. In, and for twenty miles round Yeovil, it is the chief, indeed the only employment, for the female population. The quantity produced is under 6,000 dozen, per week ; these are, sold in the London market at prices varying from 6s. to 14s. per dozen, averaging about 10s., and producing a weekly sum of about 3,000/. ; three-fifths of this is paid in wages ; 1,8001. among 20,000 gives about Is. 90. per head per week. Many have been the reductions to bring the wages to this low point, which the poor helpless sewers have had to submit to since 1826, in order that their employers might be enabled to keep their ground against the French manufacturers, whose superior advantages of climate, better skins, and cheaper provi sions, have enabled them to pay the existing duties, and successfully, in the better kinds of gloves, to com pete for the supplying of our own market. In the struggle, more than three-fourths of the English ma nufacturers have been entirely ruined. Notwithstanding the reduced comforts of our work people, last year the Trent& tininliketureza t raulo . , to pay the present duties and send into this market 128,625 dozen, being nearly one-third of the entire supply, and yet Sir Robert Peel proposes, without bargaining for any reciprocity, regardless of the dif ference in the price of food in the two countries, to reduce the tariff on French gloves—habits 2s. per dozen, men's ,2s. 6d. per dozen, and women's long 3s. 6(i. per dozen, and to allow mits free. if carried, this will annihilate the English glove trade. Three fifths of the entire cost of the article is labour, and the poor labourers have already been brought down, as nearly as possible, to the Poor-house test. Out of the remaining two fifths, or 4s. per dozen, what reduction can the manu facturer effect ? Out of this sum the skins, dye-stuff, and eggs..must be purchased, carriage, cost of selling, and rents paid, risks run, and profit found. No Yeovil manufacturer is making anything like sixpence per dozen by his gloves ; it is only the higher priced goods that pay any profit ; the lowest labour-producing o t t i i t u r i e ft i ' n i g s goods r always eathlci is s e o Nn l vt d a a aan t od a n l portionomssan carried, jrf t trade will be utterly ruined, and in 'this one district, 20,000 added to the pauper list. Its mere announce ment has already put a complete stop to the trade, and sent thousands to bed supperless ; aye, and din nerless too. . It will be seen from the following resolutions that all the works are stopped. God help the poor work people of this country. Our rulers seem bent upon trying the experiment how much of misery they may, without resistance, be made to endure. At a meeting of the glove manufacturers of Yeo vil and its neighbourhood, held this 28th day of March, 1842, to take into consideration the present state of the trade as effected by the newly proposed Tariff, Mr. Wilmington, in the Chair, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted : That an alarming crisis has arrived in consequence of the proposed alteration of the import duty on gloves, and that it is necessary to adopt pi ompt and decisive measures, in order to prevent immediate loss to the manufacturer, and the ultimate ruin of the trade. That the contemplated reduction of duty has had a most injurious effect, and has already induced a general stagnation of business and total cessation of demand. That it is imperative on the manulltcturers imme• diately to cease making for,one month, and for such longer period as may be deemed expedient. That it is necessary also not to commence dressing any skins during the ensuing month of April. That the manufacturers, deeply sympathising with their work-people in the sufferings this measure will occasion, and which only the sternest necessity would justify them to propose or enable them to carry, are persuaded that a course less decided would lead to still more painful results. Thirty-ono of the manufacturers of Yeovil and its neighbourhood pledged themselves not to cut or cause to be cut, either wholly or in part, any gloves, or put into dress any skins, during the ensuing. month of April ; and were determined to act up to the spirit and letter of this declaration. THE INCOME TAX.-THE CORN- LAW. THE COUNCIL OF THE NATIONAL AWOL CORN-LAW LEAGUE TO TUE ELECTORS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. The Prime Minister has called upon your represen tatives to levy an additional revenue of three millions and a half, and has declared that because of the inabi lity of the people to consume more tea, sugar, coffee, and other taxed commodities, he is compelled to sup ply the deficiency of the Exchequer by the imposition of a tax upon income, Without an effort to ascertrin the cause of this ex- haustion of the resources of the people, or to provide any mitigation of their sufferings, you, the merchants, traders, professional men, shopkeepers, annuitants, and others, are to be called upon to disclose to oflicial in quisitors the circumstance:, of your particular callings, that your diminished incomes may be shared with the tax-gatherer, not for the relief of your poorer fellow countrymen from any portion of their heavy burdens, but for the support of a system of monopolies which undermines our commerce and thus drains the sources of our financial prosperity. It is to insure the continuance of the corn mono poly that you are called upon to submit to a tax upon your incomes. You are told, indeed, that the tax is necessary to enable the Minister to effect his commer cial reforms. Be not deluded by such a plea. The trading community have not called for the removal of duties which augment the public revenue • they have demanded the abolition of tho se t axes w hi c h serve only to swell the rents of the landowners. 'We utterly re• pudiate the attempt to inflict an income tax upon the community under the pretence that it is rendered ne cessary by the reforms of our commercial tariff. Upon this subject we claim to be heard as the accredited re presentatives of all the great trading and manufactu ring interests of the kingdom. For upwards of three years the manufacturing cora -1 ;amity have pointed out the remedy tbr their ad lifted distresses. They prayed the house of Commons a 1839 to hear their case at its bar, where they were ,repai.ed to demonstrate that the continuance of the _ORN-LAW was incompatible with their prosperity. Vof only was their prayer rejected, but their al eged distresses were denied. • In 1840 their peti dons to Parliament were renewed in double numbers, old with increased earnestness, but with no better 'lmes. Again, last year, the Legislature was be 4eged by a yet greater number of petitioners, and with the same fruitless result. At last the distress is acknowledged by all parties, and the decline of the revenue is traced by the Prime Minister himself to 1838—the year in Web the Anti-Corn-law agitation commenced. He admits that the public income can be restored only by the revival of our manufac turing prosperity. lie acknowledges that this must be effected by the removal of restrictions and prohibi tions. He takes the Report on Import Duties as the basis of his proposed commercial reforms. lie carries into effect the recommendations of that Committee in several hundreds of insignificant articles ; and yet, after thus sanctioning the principle for which the nanufacturing community contended, he sets at :fought the prayers of five millions of petitioners, and ,tille - .'nutitherless meetings, conferences, and deputa ier**4ll4lo.**44tvoiretf.trAtde in corn, by re-euaeting the 'Sliding . sage, and thus closing the door against .2onnuerce in that Miele, which, beyond all others, is necessary for the prosperity of our trade, and the ,!onifort and contentment of the industrious class. The Parliamentary Report on Import Duties, upon which the Government has founded its proposed inea sures of Tariff-reform, is a complete and official con • demnation of the Corn-law, as at once the cause of our commercial embarrassments and of our financial difficulties. Mr. Deacon Hume, thelate Secretary of the Board of Trade, who for nearly fifty years had filled official situations, and his suecessor, Mr. Nl‘Gregor, both put on record their opinions that the landowners, by their monopoly of food, imposed a burden upon the people of this country exceeding the whole of the State taxation, and that the public re venue was injured in proportion to the taxes this wrung from the consumer for the benefit of a privi leged class. You are told that the income tax is to be levied for. three years only, because in that time Sir Robert Peel calculates upon a revival of commercial prospe rity. Upon what does he found this prediction If it be upon his reform of the tariff, we warn you against so delusive a prophecy, and that in all proba bility his income tax will not only be a perpetual, but an increasing burden. To promote the prosperity of our manufactures, freedom of trade in corn is indis pensable • and no . other alteration of our tariff can secure th, commerce of our country from impend ing ruin. - Are you, the electoral body of the empire, pre pared to support the enormous expenditure of the State, without the aid of the,manufacturing commu nity Are you prepared to banish the productive in dustry of which Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, and Glasgow are the centres, and to crush the ener gies which give motion to our engines, looms, and spindles ? If so, it is not 7d. in the pound upon your incomes, or even 10s. in the pound, that will meet the demands of the tax-gatherer. The question really at issue is, whether you will permit the pros perity of the t:ade and manufactures of the country, or, by being parties to their destruction, entail upon yourselves, by an income tax, the large and increas ing deficiencies in the revenue. So long as a' Government can raise an adequate revenue, it will be indifferent as to the sources whence that revenue may be derived. And when, owing to the baneful operation of monopolies, fostered by anti-commercial legislation, the ex isting sources of national income have been rendered unproductive, it only remains for the people to resist, through their representatives, every attempted imposition of new taxes.. If you would abolish the corn monopoly, you must defeat the pro posal to cover the existing deficiency in the revenue ~• 'neome tax.,- Xquarepresentatives iii Parlia s 357 , 411 - eartie:st, in the lloust,,O o --Jal prevent the im position of new taxes;" poiverless they may be, in the thee_ of a•• wiopolist; majority, to remove existing abuses. Call' upon your representatives to discharge their patriotic duty, and assurethem of your support whilst, in the spirit of the ancient Constitution, they withhold all supplies until the people's griev ances shall have been redressed. The machinery of an income tax once fairly in the hands of any Government, and who can tbresee the extent of its operations ? The danger is imminent, and the time pressing. Let every constituency meet without a moment's delay ; and, as petitions cannot be received, requisitions should be immediately for warded to your representatives, calling upon them to exhaust every constitutional means which the forms of the House place within their power, to defeat a mea sure which would make you the taxed accomplices in the perpetuation of the odious and destructive mo nopoly„ of.bread--a monopoly which denies the bountie's of Providence to an industrious but suffering people. On behalf of the Council, GEORGE WILSON, Chairman. THE INCOME TAX. MEETING IN LIVERPOOL. (rzox OUR OWN REPORTER.) LIVERPOOL, MARCH 30—Half-past Eleven, P.M. An extremely large meeting of the members of the various Building Societies in Liverpool, was held last night in the Clarendon-rooms, Lord-street, to take into consideration the pro posed income tax. JAMES WALTHEN, Esq., took the Chair, and in doing so, he saidllis object of the meeting was a very important one, viz., to take into considera tion how far the proposed income tax would affect Building Societies.—(hear, hear.) As to the extent to which they would be affected there ap peared to be a difference of opinion. Some supposed that not only the property but all profits would be liable to the proposed tax. It was impossible for him, or any other indivi dual but Sir Robert Peel himself, to be quali fied at present to give an answer on the subject. Re (the Chairman), with Mr. Hindle and Mr. Bennett, had had an interview with Thomai Thornley, Esq., M.P. for 'Wolverhampton, on this subject, and the result of that meeting was, that he promised to give all the assistance in his power, in furtherance of their views—to obtain an exemption from the proposed property tax ; and lie promised to send them a copy of Sir Ro bert Pael's Bill as, soon as it was printed. On Friday last he (the Chairman) addressed a letter to Mr. Wainwright, the Secretary to Lord San don, on the subject ; and, with the permission of the meeting, he would read a copy of his letter, and also Mr. Wainwright's reply. The letter and answer were then read, the re sult of which was, that Lord Sandon could not give any information on the subject, but pro mised to lay before Sir It. Peel any communica tion the builders might just propose. Mr. SHORTHOUSE moved the following resolu tion—" That in the opinion of this meeting the property and income tax may in all probability affect to a partial extent the interest of Building Societies." After commenting at some length on the tariff, which, as regards the interests of the builders, he did not profess to understand, he said there would be another resolution proposed, from which it would be seen that this was but an initiatory meeting. It was with no intention of alarming the public mind—they did not op pose the plan with any political views,---they wanted to keep themselves ready, and try to do the best they could for themselves.—(Hear.) Mr. TURNER said he thought Sir H. Peel knew the character and circumstances of Building Societies as well as they did themselves.—(Bear.) He (Mr. Turner) thought it would be unjust to the public to expect Building Societies to be ex empted. Not the slightest doubt but Building Societies would be subjected to the tax. The only thing they had to consider would be, how that tax was to be paid amongst themselves? Mr. RUSIIBY proposed the next resolution— " That a Committee be formed, consisting of at least two members from each Building Society in Liverpool, to watch the progress of the Income Tax Bill through Parliament, to ascertain how far the impost may affect the members of Building Societies, likewise to use every prudent eftbrt to obtain a mitigation of this tax, or a complete ex emption from a portion of it, as may appear bur- densome and injurious to Building Societies." The resolution basilic , been seconded, was put and carried unanimously. A Committee was then , formed of two mem bers from each Building Society in Liverpool. A vote of thanks to the Chairman was then carried unanimously, who briefly returned thanks and the meeting separated, -Z - - --, 14/ ,/, 2 • INCOME TAX. TO THE EDITOR OF 271 E SUN— !iin,—Many partie have advanced money or iho building of parsonage-houses, workhouses, churelie*, and chapels, &c., under the authority of Acts of Parliament, on condition that certain 'portions of the principal are to be repaid annually : are the parties receiving such sums to be charged to the income tax on the whole sum repaid annually, or only on the amount received as interest ? Oh, only on the - in terest of course, has been the reply I have met with generally. I now ask the question of you, because if the tax is to he charged upon the interest only, it is but fair that life annuitants should be only charged on the market rate of interest on the pnrche - -4notiey of the annuity; as the same principle holds gdoa in this case as the other, the extra interest received being a calculation that the principal would he returned , in a given period, together with the interest. The life annuitant may put by his portion, the same as the mortgagee of churches, workhouses, &c., or the Mort gager m:ty expen I the - whole sum he receives litttk annually as a life annuitant. R. IV. D. Ilfracombe, March 2B, 1842. . . • ROYAL POLYTECHNIC DIST'. TVTION. This delightful exhibition,, which so pre• eminently combines the instructive with the agreeable, re-opened on Easier Monday, after having undergone several improvements and repairs —the number of ladies and gentlemen, who have honoured the lostitut.on with a visit since its Opening, fully proving the high esturia. tion in which it is held us a Mace of recreatiod and instruction. Amongst the additions which have been math', to the exhibition sine its close, by far the most important, and consequently the most deserving e notice, is the coloSsal electrical machine which is indeed an instrument of vast power. This machine is shown in the morning at half-past If 2, and in the evening at half-past 7, and the exhibition. is always accompaided by an excellent lecture, suited to the capacities of the audience, from the accomplished Professor Bachoffner. The machine, which was constructed by Messrs. Clarke.-and Collins, consists of a glass plate, 7 feet in diameter, which is put in moticu by a steam-engitie of 1 horse-power. The prime con ductor is an immense sphere, 51 feet in diameter, and is of such a weight as to require a railroad for it to traverse on. The battery consists of twenty-four Leyden jars, presenting a sur face of 140 square feet of glass. Last evening, when we visited this exhibition, the lecturer commenced by referring to a very common err which pre va il e d re l at i ve to the production of dire electricity. Many people, he said, supposed that it cattle from the machine, or glass ; such, however, was nut the fact—on the contrary, all the electricity proceeded from the earth, and the machine merely acted as a pump, as it were, to draw up the electricity front the reservoir of the earth by means of the friction of the gktss against the rubbers. The Professor went on to say that many people were curious to know what was the cause of electricity ; he would at once calmly and dispassionately tell them that no one knew anything at all about the cause, for the more they studied it, the more bewildered did they become. He then proceeded to exhibit several experiments; the first consisted in expo sing strips of gold and silver paper to the action of the electric fluid in which cases the gold and silver were completely destroyed, and nothing remained but the oxyde of the metals which might be observed attached to the paper. • The most beautiful experiment was that of electricity in mow, which exhibited so perfCct a simi litude to the aurora borealis, or northern lights, as to leave no doubt that those beautiful pheno mena of nature are owing to the agency of elec ' tricity in the higher regions. The delight expe rienced by the visitors in the course of the lec ture and the illusirations was frequently expressed by loud clapping of hands. All the other attrac tions, including the diving bell, &c., which were here previous to the close of the exhibition, are here still, and the institution contains an excel lent band, which is engaged during nearly the whole of the evening-in playing selections front the most popular airs and operas. The only other no velty to which we shall direct the attention of our readers, is the addition which has been made to the dissolving views. These are try excellent, and are eight in number, viz.: —l4 e Facade of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre at J erusalem— The entrance to the tomb of the Kings, nearthe Gate of Damascus—The Mosque of Omar—The Blisworth cutting on the Birmingham Railway by daylight, by moonlight, and by sunrise—The Viaduct on the same line by daylight, and in a storm: these are both very beautiful, and the changes from sunrise to moonlight„ elicited the most unqualified applause. :• The three following, also new, ones, are Very beautiful : Saint Mark's Place, VenieeL-The Doge's Palace Venice and the Council Chamber in the Doge's Palace. In viewing this very beautiful exhibition, we would recommend visitors not to approach to near to the curtain, as the effect produced, when viewed front a little fli., , tance, is much better titan when seen front a nearer spot. The Institution was crowded to in convenience last night, which is the best proofthat it is a favourite with the public, and we would respectfully recommend our country cousins who visit the Metropolis to see the Lions, not to omit a visit to the Polytechnic.- CGURT CIRCULAR. - - - WIN DSOII, Tit URS DAY.—The Queen and Prince Albert enjoyed their usual morning walk in the Home Park ; and the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal were taken an airing. In the afternoon her Majesty rode out in a pony carriage, attended by the Countess Deht warr, Dowager Lady Lyttleton; and the Ladies Elizabeth and Mary West, Lady Caroline Cocks, Hon. Miss Cavendish, and th e E ar l o f W arw i ck, in other carriages. Prince Albert was on hoiseback, accom panied by Prince George of Cambridge, and attended by the Earl Delawarr, Viscount Cum tilupe, Sir Edward Bowater, Colonel Berkeley, and lion. C. A. Murray. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, and the Princess Royal were taken carriage Prince Edward of Saxe Weimer, the Hon. Francis Devereuk, and the Hon. Georgians Stanley arrived on a visit to her MajN ty. The Duchess of Kent rode out to-day, at ended by Lady A. M. Dawson.
