The mischief to the independent, unassisted labourer is, however, precisely the same, whether under-bidding is effected by funds voluntarily or compulsorily collected. If the poor sempstress is compelled to make for I id. a shirt, for making which she ought to receive a shil ling to enable her to live, it matters nothing to her whether the price is beaten down by a rival workhouse or a rival school. It may be useful to warn many benevolent persons who are not aware of the effect of their kind exertions in patronising schools, of the evil that necessarily follows cheap school work—an evil immeasurably overbalancing the good. This warning may be, i.erhaps, best supplied by a short calculation. Let us suppose, then, a school containing a hundred girls, the daughters, say, of half that number of mothers who are sempstresses. The mothers receive, say nine shillings a week each for their labonr ; the labour of the girls affords no pecuniary return. Nine shillings a-week is a poor pittance for the maintenance of three per sons, but unhappily experience proves it to be comparative affluence to the class of which we are speaking. Matters proceed as we have described them, until some perhaps truly generous, but short sighted persons think that the labour of the children ought to be employed to,„ some profitabluse—ques tionleis With-litufpoie to extend the charity—work is taken in for the children accordingly, and it i 3 not extravagant to suppose that the work of one hundred girls may be equal to the work of twenty-five women, that is half the work of the fifty mo thers. But, suppose it equal to the work of only ten women ; now, according to Adam Smith, who drew his inference from a large and care ful induction, this would reduce the receipts of the mothers one-half, viz., from 9s. to 4s. 61, and even this is too favourable a view; for Smith's hypothesis as sumes that the intruders must be self- s upp o rt e d, whichis not the case of the school-girls. How ever; let us take the most favourable view ; let us assume that the labour of the daughters robs the mothers of only one-half their earnings. Is this real charity ? You deprive the mother of two orphan girls of half her means of supporting herself and them—for what? In order to prose cute the same system on a more extensive scale. But then it will be said, girls must be taught to work with the needle. No doubt it is very proper to teach them; but do not teach them to the loss of themselves and of their mothers. Let them work ; but, as in the case of workhouses, let a minimum price above the average of a de cent maintenance be charged for the labour. All that is necessary is some uniform regulation upon the subject. Let the poor-law guardians come to an agreement upon the point; let the patronesses of the multitude of the different female schools and asylums of the metropolis have a meeting upon the subject. English women never meet without some generous resolution and a happy result. Let it, in short, be determined universally that no charitable or quasi charitable establishment shall perform any work at a less rate than will afford 9s. a week to an industrious sempstress—let this be done, and we dare almost predict that before the end of, 1845 every sempstress in London will have her 9s. a-week or more. The matter is hap pily such as is completely within the power of the public ; it is perfectly elastic, for the value of the female labour that enters into the expenditure of each of us is really so trifling that almost the poorest amongst us can double, treble, or quadruple the price without inconvenience. Our readers, will see that the Queen, Prince Albert, ani the Queen Dowager have warmly encouraged, and most libe rally aided, Lord Ashley in this, perhaps the most interesting, as in all the other branches of his glo rious enterprise. We will not praise them for it. The Royal persons in question cannot help being kind and good any more than Lord Ashley can. We may love and honour them for being what they are, but we will not affront them by praise. What a position is that occupied by Lord Ashley at this moment ? How must Queen Victoria exult in the possession of such a subject and servant to represent to her people the graces of her personal kind-heartedness, with a fitness and dignity beyond the reach of any other man ? EXTRAORDINARY PRESERVATION.-011 Monday week, the 5 r.m. train from Exeter took up a tradesman of Weston-super-Mare at that station, who, being inebri ated, was placed inside of a first-class carriage, and the door locked upon him. On their arrival at the Bristol station the conductor looked through the window for his elfarge, but saw only his hat, and consequently dispatched an officer in search of him. He was found walking up the railway, and it appeared that he had leaped from the window, the only damage he received being on his nose, forehead, and hands (which were much bruised), and he was covered with blood. The train was going at the time at the rate of nearly 30 miles an hour; and what is more extraordinary, is the fact that the down train literally brushed him in passing.—Exeter Gazette. W,A Melt VAGRANT.—Mary Jones, with her son, a lad of about ten years of age, have been committed to the Carmarthen county gaol for vagrancy, by W. Peel, Lewis Lewis, and D. Protheroe, Esquires, to one month's hard labour. The woman is a native of Pembrokeshire, and was sent to gaol for begging. On her person was found the sum of 61. Is. 10d. in cash, and promissory ltea from the Glamorganshire and Monmouthshire ink, and from several tradeamen_in Newport,. Mon roouthshire, and elsewhere, to the amount of upwards of 2001. Besides this large sum of money, she had in six or seven, bags, 11 shirts, 10 caps, three cotton gowns, 15 handkerchiefs, three pairs of stockings, and 20 other articles of.clothing. The promissory notes were sewed into-the lining of her bonnet, but the cash was in her pocket. - Joint Tucatocoon.—lt was stated in our. police report, on the 30th of August last, that this individual had been charged with felony by Mr. C. W. Leonard, and that the magistrates dismissed the charge. Subse quently Mr. ,Thorogood commenced proceedings against his prosecutor, which he has relinquished in eon sequenc of receiving an apology, of which the following is a copy :—" London, Oct. 10.—Sir, — As the party who preferred against you the charge of stealing two account books, I think it right to say I am convinced I was wholly wrong in preferring that charge against you, and that I had no foundation for that charge, the question between us being whether you had a lien upon, and were entitled to retain, the two books in question until the claim you had against me was paid ; and I write this letter for the purpose of removing any false impression that may have been raised against your character, founded upon that erro • neous charge.-1 am, Sir, yours obediently, C. W. LEO NARD. Mr. John Thorogood."—Suffolk Chronicle. AFFRAY WIT II POACHERS AT WOLLATON. —On Friday night last, about seven o'clock, an affray took place at Wollaton, near Nottingham, between a gang of poachers and the keepers of Lord Middleton, of Wol laton-hall. The keepers (four in number) had appre hended two poachers. when about sixteen or eighteen of the accomplices of the latter came up, released the of fenders, and brutally beat the keepers. One of them has his mouth shockingly torn, another lies in a very dangerous state. All the poachers escaped, but the police are on the alert. PAISLEY SHAWLS.—It affords us much pleasure to state, that the India shawls and the fine copies of them produced in Paisley continue to be the most fashionable article of dress amongst the higher classes of society. This week the Duchess of Sutherland. accompanied by her daughters, Lady Blantyre and Lady Caroline, paid a visit to town, and after a careful inspection of Mr. Mor gan's stock of shawls, at his warehouse in Causewayside, they selected a number of the very finest he had on hand for their use. It may be interesting to the fashion able circles to know, that the shawls selected by the Duchess of Sutherland and members of her family named on this occasion were of various colours in the ground, and both of the long and square description of these goods.—Renfrewchire Refot Eger. DISCOVERY OF AN ANCIENT ROAD.—A singular discovery has recently been made in Back-lane, at the back of Derby-road. During the last few weeks, the board or the repair of highways have been engaged in laying soughs from the bottom of Back-lane to the top of Derby-road. One day at the latter end of last week, the excavaters engaged in cutting the line for the sough, suddenly came to' a hollow in the rock, which appeared to be a cave. Upon making a hole large enough for the light to be admitted, they observed that the cave was a kind of narrow passage, running in the direction of the forest on one side, and pointing.towards the castle on the other. On the side of the castle, about four yards down, the passage has been bricked up, apparently for the pur pose of forming • a cellar to one of Mr. Goodkead's houses, near the top of the lane, and the Derby-road side. In the direction of the forest, the road runs under the first house upon going up the hill. During Sunday the passage remained open, and parties explored it in the direction of the forest several hundred yards, and then re - turned, lest they should fall into some well or pit, or meet with foul gasses. We are sorry the mouth of the passage •was closed ere we heard of its existence, or we should have diligently examined it, for the purpose of describing it to our readers. We are told that there is another and very similar passage a few y ards higher up the road, which r was opened some years ago. We are not aware that these passages have ever yet been described, and an examination would render considerable service to local historians, and would probably be of some use to anti quarians. It is worthy of remark that the opening into the passage above described is full half a mile from the castle,—;Nottingham Review. Mr. Hutchinson, Mr. Youle, and Mr. Ellice, Directors, were present ; we also noticed Mr. Clarke, general super intendent ; and Mr. Kirtley, superintendent of the loco motive department. Messrs. Wadsworth and Patchitt, solicitors, attended on behalf of the Railway Company ; and Mr. Cursham, solicitor, appeared to watch the proceedings on behalf of Mr. Lightfoot. John Longden, the guard of the up train, and who was so much injured by the collision, was the first witness ex amined, Henry Youle, Esq., a Director at Nottingham end, was next examined ; George Mitchell, an assistant guard and ticket collector, and Joseph England, a passenger, also gave evidence ; but as most of those persons were examined on the oter inquest, consequently there was. nothing in their statements that could be new or ink.— resting. At three o'clock the jury agreed to adjourn for an hour. Shortly after four the jury again took their seats, and the evidence of John Chadbourn, of Pinx ton, a passenger at the time of the collision, was being taken, but not concluded when this report left. Mr. Clarke, Mr. Kirtley, and some three or four other witnesses, being yet to be examined, it is not at all likely that the inquiry can terminate to-night. In consequence of the verdict which the town jury returned on Friday night, the Coroner issued his warrant for Mr. Lightfoot's apprehension, on Saturday morning, at nine o'clock, but Mr. Lightfoot had, in the mean time, gone out of the way ; it is understood to be his intention to surrender on the 13th instant, on which day the winter assizes for the town of Nottingham cornmel , ce ; he will then take his trial for the grave offence with which he is charged. There is a very general feeling of commiseration for Mr. Lightfoot. The mayor and some other influential inhabitants are to have a private meeting to-morrow morning, at eleven o'cicck, for the purpose of getting up a public demonstration in his behalf ; after which an address, of which the following is a copy, will be for warded to the Directors, and signed by most of the nobility, gentry, clergy, and other inhabitants of the town andoonaty of,lio.ttingba • TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE MIDLAND RAIL- WAY COMPANY. " Gentlemen,—We, the undersigned inhabitants of the town and county of Nottingham, fully convinced of the truth of what almost every day's experience illustrates, that no human foresight or sagacity can in all instances avert disaster—must regard Mr. Robert Lightfoot, in your employ, as altogether morally guiltless on a recent occasion, whatever limy have been the unhappy conse quences of those measure which he so zealously, and with imminent hazard to his own life, adopted for good. " We, therefore, at this crisis, feel it a duty no less grateful than imperative, to respectfully express to you our unabated confidence in Mr. Lightfoot, and to add our earnest hope that that their may be no forfeiture of the high position which, we have reason to believe, as a servant, he has ever occupied in your esteem. " We have the honour to be, Gentlemen. " Your very obedient servants." (Here follow the signatures.) We regret to say that Mr. Roberts, the gentleman who underwent amputation of the right leg on the day succeeding the accident, was delirious throughout yester day, and his dissolution was looked for hourly. To. day he has again slightly ralied, but very little hope, indeed, exists that any ultimate change for the better can take place. His medical attendants aro unremitting in their attention to him, and this morning he has been placed on a water bed, as the least pressure upon any part of his frame induces intense suffering. Mr. Bowlstridge, the landlord of the Three Horse Shoes, was also considered dangerously ill yesterday, but a slight improvement in his state has been observed since then. A young lady named Gretton, is still seriously ill, but all the other patients are going on favourably. ATROCIOUS ATTEMPT AT ASSASSINATION. (From the Kelso Chronicle.) This neighbourhood, long remarkable fur the quiet and peaceable character of its inhabitants, became, on Friday, the 22d inst., the scene of dastardly and atro cious bloodshed, under circumstances of a very painful nature. The victim of this cowardly and cold-blooded attempt at assassination is James Cockburn, a farm servant at Quixwood, in the parish of Abbey St. Bathans, who was on that night to have been married to Jean Steel, or Rankin, widow of the late John Rankin, and residing at Lintlaw, in the adjoining parish of Bunch'. The bride and bridegroom were to have met at Dunse in the evening, in order to have had their nuptials cele brated by the Rev. C. Miller, of the Second Secession Church. The bridegroom, with an acquaintance, of the name of James Youl, was proceeding to the place of meeting in Dunse, from his residence at Quixwood, and when at a place call( d Preston Clough, about half a mile to the north of Preston, at about halt-past five o'clock in the afternoon, was fired at with a gun or pistol from the plantation adjoining the cast side of the road, or from behind a whin-bush on the road-side next the planta tion. The shot took effect in the hack, and the piece being heavily charged, he instantly fell. Youl also received some of the shots in his arm ; and being stunned by the murderous attack, and seeing Cock burn fall, he fled to Preston fur assistance and protection to himself and Cockburn—having procured which, and returning immediately to the spot, Cockburn was found as he fell, but there was no trace of the murderer. He was now conveyed to the nearest house at Preston, and medical assistance and the proper authorities sent for from Dunse. On an examination of his wounds, he was f ,und to have received about 160 slug and round shot in the back, which was dreadfully lacerated. On recovering sensation, he was heard to say " that it was a poor re venge ;" and when asked if he suspected any one to have done the deed, he said that he thought it would be Jo:.n Johnston, who presently resides with Jean Rankin, as hind to her, the bride to whom he was to have been married. Johnston was at that time in the room, and was then apprehended, but was then thought to be in nocent, as some came forward and said they knew him to have been elsewhere when the shot was tired. Since then he has been placed under examination, and re manded for some days until further evidence be pro duced. The bride and bridesmaid had arrived previously in Dunse, and were waiting the arrival of the bridegroom and his friends, when intelligence of the deed reached them. The friends of the bride, on hearing it, saw the propriety of being cautious at such a time in communi cating it abruptly to her; they, therefore, sent for the Rev. Mr. Riddell, who, in a calm and suitable manner, made her ware - of what had befallen her intended hus band: The poor woman, on learning it, was sorely dis tressed. It is not our business to surmise who may be the guilty party at the present' time. Johnston is in the hands of the authorities, and if there be evidence at all against him, he must stand at the bar of his country to answer for the deed. We understand that up to this time James Cockburn is in a very dangerous condition, and not expected . to, survive. Some of the shots have been extracted, but there are still above 100 lodged in his body. A, further examination of Johnston took place on Wednesday, when he was committed for trial. From what can be learned, he had borrowed a gun from some person in Chirnside about three weeks ago, which he denies. The person from whom he got the gun is to be examined. A large concourse of people turned out to see him pass from the Town-hall to the prison. When he made his appearance, he looked unconcerned, and turned round and gave a stare. THE ROYAL EXC HANGE.—The arrangements have now all been completed, as we are given to understand, for giving possession of the various parts of this great work. All the shops and offices are let, and the agree ments have been signed by the tenants, many of whom are in possession, and are fitting them up with consider able taste and effect. In Lloyd's subscribers'-room there will be mahogany seats and tables for the subscribers, between 800 and 900 in number ; and in the commer cial or club-roots, similar seats and tables are to be placed for the accommodtstion of 300 or 400 persons. Hound the room, and in appropriate stands, will be laid the journals and newspapers from all parts of the world. In the merchants' area the tessellated pavement has been entirely removed, and the surface is now covered with an exceedingly hard and smooth coating of the asphalte of Seysel of a uniform and pleasing colour. The Gresham Committee at first proposed to open this an a for the use of the merchants last Monday, or on Monday next ; but at a meeting of that body on Saturday, they considered that it would be more advisable to bring all the compartments of the building into use at one time, and that probably it would on the whole be more con venient to give a somewhat longer notice, and to allow the public to pass through for some days previously, so that business persons might not be interfered with by the intenseness of a natural public curiosity. The merchants' area will, therefore, it is confidently reported, be given up to the merchants on the Ist of January, and com plete access will be given to all public portions of the building a week or ten days previously. THE GORGON STEAM-SLOOP. —Extract of a letter from an officer on board her Majesty's steamer Gorgon, dated Monte Video, Sept. 22, 1844:—" We are still on the beach, although not quite a fixture here, as we have moved the ship 21 inches, and are as confident and p r severing as ever, though I cannot say when we shall get off, yet I feel sure that before long we shall succeed. We have built immense oblong boxes (in nautical phrase termed camels), and have secured them under water to the ship's sides ; they weigh her up about 220 tons, and we have got more anchors and purchases to haul off by, and have done everything to insure success, &C., save the time and labour of taking the engine out,. I dare say you can fancy a ship stuck into a sandy beach, and the sand dug away from all round her and deep water, so that large boats could go round her : such is our posi tion. There are no regular tides here ; the natives know as little of ebb and flood as negroes do of ice or snow. The rise and fall of the river is regulated entirely by the winds and rain, and we expect some gales at the equinox, and with them high tides. If the equinoctial gales pass awa y, we shall not have others, or expect high tides until our summer (which is your winter) bas passed awa y. Our labour has been incessant and well directed, as the enormous mounds of sand we have raised up tes tify ; more than 7,000 tons will mark the spot for many a year where the Gorgon was on shore, and afford ample proof to the wondering natives of the energy and perse verance of British ' Hearts of Oak.' I am not aware that a similar attempt to recover so large a vessel from off a dead lee shore, so deeply embedded in sand, has ever been attempted. The French got a frigate on shore in this river a few years ago, and after five months' labour they were about to give her up, when the water rose unexpectedly and floated her off ; but I fancy her position was very different from ours."—litearhir TeleraPh• DIVIDEND.

The interval may be well employed in the discussion of those practical ques tions of national finance, and the nature and opera tion of those fiscal imposts, which not merely affect the public interests, but involve the comfort and health of the great mass of the community. The flourishing state of the public revenue—presenting, as it does, a large surplus of income over the expenditure—will enable the Government to remove or diminish some of the items of taxation. The specific mode of relief has, probably, not yet been decided on. The Premier, with his characteristic caution, is waiting for an indication of popular feeling. To this he has been wont to yield. By consulting it at the present moment he may win back a portion of his lost popularity. When ex pediency promised to serve his purpose, the claims of principle, and the regard which consistency de mands from public men, gave little trouble to Sir Robert Peel. With a dexterity which alter nately amuses and disgusts, the Right Hon. Baronet breaks such bonds asunder, and divests himself of the incumbrance. With him, pledges and promises are but the current coin of the passing hour. The tax which presses most severely on the community—at once a heavy impost ; an irritating insult ; an unequal, and therefore unjust, distribution of the burden, by which those least able are made to bear the greatest proportion is, we need scarcely say, the pro perty and income 7 tax. To obtain the immediate removal of the latter portion of this tax, should be the object of every man who is capable of discerning the distinction which obvi , ,usly exists between them. The former should be equitably graduated ; the latter should be wholly removed. This is the main object. To attain this desirable relief to the wages of labour and the profits of trade, every legitimate means should be employed. A tax upon property regulated by an equitable scale, is just and beneficial in principle. The revenue it would supply would enable the Minister to reduce the taxation which presses most heavily on the labouring classes. The tax on income is at once oppressive and inquisitorial—oppressive, for it adds to the burdens which already press severely on those least able to bear the load; and inquisitorial, for it subjects the affairs of the merchant and trader to an investigation by, and exposure to, the eyes of those from whom it is essential they should be concealed. It is also, as has been well observed, " a premium on dishonesty." Its demoralizing influence is manifest. " The full weight of the burden is only felt by the honest man ; the less scrupulous may with facility save half the amount by fraudulent returns, and defy every attempt to prove their inaccuracy." The objections which apply to the tax on income are not applicable to a. tax on real or funded property. The facilities for collecting•the latter are grcat--involving neither trouble nor expense. "In the case of houses or land, it,is collected from the occupying tenant, who payW•it Ae'erfly,a,becillise fie is authorised to deduct it from his lan lord's renC The' landlord," in turn, when his-estate.is—mortgaged, deducts it from the interest due to • the mortgagee. There is no in quisition into his resources, or ineumbrances ; and yet no opportunity is given him of evading a fraction of the legal demand:" When ever the - promised general revision of the fiscal policy of the country be entered upon—and we think the coming session the best for the purpose which has been presented in the history of the country for many years—it is obvious that the principle of direct taxa tion must be seriously entertained. No sound and advantageous change can be effected in the general tax ation of the country which is not based on this prin ciple. The idea, therefore, of giving up that part of the property-tax which is derived from tangible pro• perty, whether it be in lands, houses, or in the funds, is founded on the inequitable policy of throwing an unequal portion of taxation on the shoulders of industry—an error, or rather a vice, which has per vaded the fiscal legislation of the country. To apply the same rule to fluctuating sources of income as to those which are fixed, is not merely absurd, it is ine quitable and injurious. Even if the tax on income, as contradistinguished from the tax on property, were to be retained at a diminished rate, the odious feature would remain. The private affairs of indivi duals would be subjected to inquisitorial inquiry and injurious exposure and publicity; and this in a free country is intolerable, and will not be endured longer than imperious necessity compels. STANDARD.—The meeting 'for the protection and relief of needlewomen, hell yesterday at Willis's Rooms, and presided over by Lord Ashley, is one of the signs of the times, and in all respects an auspicious sign. The. association, still in its infancy, we may say but just born, has provided work, at 9s. a-week, for nearly one thousand industrious women, and what is perhaps still more gratifying, has conciliated many extensive dealers to the principle of fair wages. There is not the least reason to doubt that if the public do its duty fairly, the blessing may be extended ten-fold or one hundred-fold even in a few months. Let purchasers resolve to deal only with those who give fair wages, and not grudge to pay in proportion, low wages, now the rule, will become the exception; they will not long be an exception until they disappear, and thus the good work will be completed without injury to any one. Following the Noble Chairman (need we name him who is ever most forward in every good work, Lord Ashley), we must, however, refer to two classes of employers, over whom the public has a more direct control than over any others, but who are the agents of more mischief to the poor needlewomen than any others—the managers of workhouses, and of female schools and asylums. The low prices at which persons supported by other resources, can afford to work, is the main cause why the prices of female la bour generally are so miserably depressed. As regards workhouses, there is no excuse for their inmates being at all sent into the market. The law makes for them a provision, such as it is, irrespective of the value of their labour ; and, let them labour never so industriously, the law does not allow them to parti cipate in the fruit of their toil. Upon what conceiv able just principle, then, •can they be thrown into competition with those for whom the law does nothing. Let managers of workhouses, if they please, give employment to the persons under their charge; but let them sell the produce of the labour thus cheaply obtained at a minimum price, somewhat above what is sufficient to maintain decently, independent and unassisted, labourers in the same line—common jus tice demands this at the very least.
