Among the 10,000 in use, they have been adopted by the offizial authorities of the Houses of Parliament, Woolwich Dock-yard, Somerset-house, Foreign-office, Thames Tunnel, United Service, Reform, Conservative, and other Club-houses, the Queen's Theatre, Chinese Exhibition, and many other large establishments. Upwards of 20,000,000 cubic feet of gas have passed through some of these meters without regula tion or repair, and which are still working to the entire satisfaction of the gas company and consumers. All gas consumers who study economy and a good light are invited to avail themselves of the advantages and comfort to be derived from the use of Defries's Dry Meter, but, to prevent the substitution of im perfect imitations, it is necessary at all times to order Defries's Dry Meter, and to observe his name on the brass badge in front of all his meters. Testimonials from the most eminent and scientific men and large consumers can be had on application (or will he forwarded by post), free of expense, at the Manufactory, 67, St. Martin's-lane, London.

ALSE'S SCORBUTIC DROPS. A SURE CURE FOR EAD LEGS. The following ease has excited so much interest, that the Guardians of the palish of Brent, Devon, have considere 1 it their duty to sign their names to the accompanying important declaration : We, the undersigned, solemnly declare that before Thomas Ro lins, one of our parishioners, commenced taking " Halse's Scorbutic Drops," he was literally covered with large running wounds (some of them so large that a person migit have laid hi, fist in them) ; that before he had finished the first bottle he noticed an improvement, and that by continuing them for some time, .he got completely restored to health, after everything else had failed. He had tried various sorts of me• . 'icines before b.aking Halse's Scorbutic Drops,' and had prescriptions from the most celebrated physicians in this country, without de,iving the 1, ast benefit. " Boise's Scorbutic Drops," have co ipletely cured him, and he is nuw enabled to attend to his labour as well as any man in our parish. From other cures also made In this part, we strongly recommend " Halse's Scorbutic Drops" to the notice of the public. Signed by John Elliott, sen., Lord of the Manor, John Manning William Pearce, Henry Go:xlman, Arthur Langworthy. June 21, 18.13 The above.men'ioned MOMS Rolins was quite incapable of doing any kind of work whatever before he commenced taking those Drops. Some of his wounds were so large, that it was most awful to look at them, and the itching and pain of the wounds generally were molt dreldtul; indeed, the poor fellow could be heard screeching by passersby, both day and night, for sleep was entirely out of the ques tion. He was reduce Ito mere skin and bone, and daily continued to get weaker, so that there was every probability of his speedy death. Read the following extract from the " Nottingham Review ": "I MPURITY OF THE BLOOD THE CAUSE OF SCURVY, _ _ _ _ _ _ BAD LEGS, &c. 4 .

The first indications of its approach were the commencement of the French Plays—the second, the opening of Parlia ment ; but the London season can never be said to have fairly set in until the opening of her Majesty's Theatre. This event is announced for Saturday, the I,t of March. Under former managements the Italian Opera before Easter dragged on a sort of doubtful existence, supported by mere mediocrities, who were tolerated, and barely tolerated, by the sub scribers, in the hope that the post-Paschal seasons would make amends for the short-comings of the ante-Paschal season. To the credit of Mr. Lumley be it spoken, he was the first to break through this rule, " more honoured in the breach than in the ob servance," and since the management has devolved upon him he has made no distinction of " Times," but has at every period of the season secured for his subscribers the services of the very first talent in every department that it was in his power to pro cure. The theatre opens on Saturday, the Ist of March, with Verdi's new opera of Ernani, supported by Moriani, Fornasari, Botelli, and Madame Rita Borio; and with a new ballet by Perrot, entitled La Lille de la Dryade, in which the fascinating Lucile Grahn, and Toussaint, and Perrot, will appear, sup ported by the thirty-six danseuses Viennoises, those wonderful children whosesktiformsmces at the Acai.e rnie Royale have turned the heads of all Paris. We anticipate great things from the opera of Ernani. Verdi is a young :composer, whose works are, com paratively speaking, unknown in this country, but who has been hailed in Italy as, par excellence, the maestro—the legitimate successor of the lost Bellini, and the all but lost Rossini. His greatest work will be produced before an English audience, supported in such a manner as the maestro himself would have wished. It were a work of supererogation to dilate on the merits of Moriani and Fornasari, and Madame Rita Borio, although unheard, is not altogether un known in this country. The number of the dilettanti is but few who have not heard of the prima donna of the Theatre Royal, Madrid. Great efforts were made by the management of the Spanish Opera to deprive us of Moriani, and the dilettanti of England are under great obligations to Mr. Lumley, for having secured to us the services of the primo tenore of the world. In addition to these accomplished artistes, we are to have Grisi, Brambilla—Madame Castellan, who created such an immense sensation, last season, as a concert singer—Mademoiselle Rosetti and Madame Rosi Caccia, from the Theatre at Lis bon. Signor Barroilhet, from the Academie at Paris, is engaged, as well as Lablache (father and son) and Mario ; and though last, not least, that rising and improving artiste—that first of second tenors, who will ere long take rank among the very first—Signior Corelli, is also engaged. In the ballet department, the enterprising impresario is equally strong. Carlotta Grisi, Lucile Grahn, and Cerito—St. Leon, Perrot, and Toussaint are engaged. The Diesse of the season, how ever, is Taglioni, who is engaged to appear for her fare well nights' season. We hail her approach with delight —we hear the announcement that this is to be her last season, with sorrow. Let us, however, hope that the choerographic poetess, for such she really ii, will be induced to review her decision, and to give us a few more farewell seasons before finally leaving the stage. The orchestra is to be on the same scale as last year, and Costa re-assumes the baton of conductor; Tol becque leads the orchestra ; Perrot is the Maitre de Ballet ; Pugni is composer of ballet music, and Mar shall is principal scene-painter. Can arrangements be more complete ? Mr. Lumley ought, and no doubt will, command success • according to the dictum of Addison, he does more, he deserves it. TREATY BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND CHINA. The TVushington No4ional Intelligencer, of the 24th ult., contains the following message from the American President, communicating the treaty between America and China, and which has since been ratified. " WASHINGTON, JAN. 22, 1845. " To THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, " I communicate herewith an abstract of the treaty between the United States of America and the Chinese Empire, concluded at Whang Hiya on the 3d of July last, and ratified by the Senate on the 10th inst., and which having also been ratified by the Emperor of China, now awaits only the exchange of ratifications in China, from which it will be seen that the special mission authorised by Congress for this purpose has fully succeeded in the accomplishment, so far, of the great objects for which it was appointed, and in placing our relations with China on a new footing eminently favourable to the commerce and other interests of the United States. "In view of the magnitude and importance of our national concerns, actual and prospective, in China, I submit to the consideration of Congress the expediency of providing for the preservation and cultivation of .the subsisting relations of amity between the United States and the Chinese Government, other than by means of a permanent minister, or commissioner with diplomatic functions, as in the case of cer tain of the Mahometan States. It appears, by one of the extracts annexed, that the establishment of the British Government in China consists both of a Plenipotentiary and also of paid Consuls for all the five ports, one of whom has the title and exercises the functions of Consul-General ; and Franco has also a sa laried Consul-General, and the interests of the United Stateeseetn, in like manner, to call for some representa tive in China of a higher class than an ordinary eom mrrcial consulate. " I also submit to the consideration of Congress the expediency of making some special provision by law for the security of the independent and honourable position which the treaty of Wang Hiya confers on citizens of the United States residing or doing business in China. By the 21st and 25th articles of the treaty (copies of which are subjoined in eltenso), citizens of the United States in China are wholly exempted, as well in criminal as in civil matters, from the local juridiction of the Chinese Government, and made amenable to the laws and subject to the jurisdiction of the appropriate autho rities of the United States alone. Some action on the part of Congress seems desirable, in order to give full effect to these important concessions of the Chinese G vernment. " JOHN TYLER." ABSTRA.CT OF THE TREATY. The annexed is an abstract of the treaty, which, with other documents, accompanied the above message:— The preamble sets forth that the United States of America and the Ta Tsing Empire, desiring to establish firm, lasting, and sincere frießdship between the two nations, have resolved to fix, in a manner clear and posi tive, by means of a treaty or general convention of peace, amity, and commerce, the rules which shall in future be mutually observed in the intercourse of their respective countries. For which desirable object, the President of the United States has conferred full powers on their commissioner, Caleb Cuahing, envoy extraor dinary and minister plenipotentiary of the United States to China, and the august Sovereign of the Ta Tsing Empire on his minister and commissioner extraordi nary, Tsiyeng, of the. Imperial house, a vice guardian of the heir apparent, governor general of the Two Kwangs, and superintendent general of the trade and foreign intercourse of the five ports. Art. 1. Provides that there shall be a perfect and uni versal peace and a sincere and cordial amity between the United States of America and the Ta Tsing Empire. Art. 2. Provides that citizens of the United States resorting to China for the purposes of commerce will , pay the duties of import and export prescribed in the tariff annexed to the treaty, and no other duties or charges whatever; and that the United States shall par ticipate in any future concession granted to other nations by China. Art. 3. Provides for the admission of citizens of the United States at the five ports of Kwan-chow, Hiya men, Fa-chow, Ning-po, a-.lcl Shang-hai. Art. 4. Provides for citizens of the United States to import and sell, or buy and export, all manner of mer chandize at the five ports. Art. 6. Limits the tonnage duty on American ships to five mace per ton, if over 150 tons registered burden, and one mace per ton if of 150 tons or less. Also pro vides that such vessel having paid tonnage at one of the five ports shall not be subject to pay a second tonnage duty at any other of the said five ports. Art. 7.

Political economists of every hue are puzzling their brains to discover a remedy for the ills of the body politic, and politicians are speculating on the coming changes. One party recommends the half-fed la bourer to take a change of air, and are preparing parks and pleasure-grounds for his recreation ; an other thinks the unwashed should indulge in the luxuries of warm baths and clean linen; whilst the members of the League are labouring in their voca tion for a free trade, and promises to fill the bellies of the lieges with foreign corn ; but all these are only so many tubs thrown to the whale, to divert his attention from the discovery of what is every hour becoming more and more apparent, that the present system of taxation is the source and the root from whence all the misery and suffering of the lower classes do proceed. Instead, therefore, of joining in the outcry against the property and income-tax, as proposed by Sir Robert Peel, I should wish to hail it as the first step to a better state of things, to a more sound consi deration of the important matter of national taxation ; but the honesty of statesmen has progressed so little in this direction, that without a considerable increase in the pressure from without, I am afraid the present is not the generation that is likely to realise so impor tant an improvement on the perversion of past times. It is a little remarkable, that in all the agitation that has sprung up of late years, no advocate of the working classes should have made direct, instead of indirect, taxation the burden of his song. By a similar perversion of all that is just, but from motives easy to b e accoun t e d f or , near l y a ll Ministers and statesmen have preferred indirect to direct taxation. The reasons are obvious—the one places the tax-payer under the control of the Minis ter, the other places the Minister under the control of the tax-payer. In the first case, the bread that we eat, the beer, tea, coffee, sugar, and everything else that we either eat or drink, the hat which covers , the head, the shoes that enclose the feet, and the rai ment wherewith we are clothed, may be all taxed to the highest possible extent, and yet the Minister, nor his representative, the tax-collector, be at all visible in the matter; but let the tax-collector only knock at the door and make demand of a few, shillings, and the why and the wherefore is instantly in requi sition. It comes home to the pockets and feelings of the multitude, who accordingly scrutinise closely every act of the Minister and his colleagues ; and, even with our present limited system of representa tion, such a check on the conduct of any Ministry would be direct and effective. Lord Brougham, with his peculiar felicity, has enumerated the items of taxation which have thus in directly been made to contribute to the necessities of the State. It embraces all things within the com pass of our wants and wishes, from our entrance into the world to our final exit from it, and even then our very virtues, if chronicled at all, must be handed down to posterity on taxed marble, and we may then, but not till then, be said to be gathered to our fathers, to be taxed no more. Such are the facilities, such the practical effect and operation of the two systems, and I contend that to indirect taxation may be traced a large proportion of the evils that afflict society. With its assistance a Minister may he extravagant and lavish. Unjust wars may be provoked or persevered in until a nation is either exhausted or prostrate. A court may be luxurious, profligate, and corrupt, poi- soning by its example the very springs of life and virtue in society—and even the legislation of a country may be indifferent, insensible, or blind to its opera tion, until the hand of the Government is perceptible in every man's dish—until its form and pressure is distinct and visible—and then comes the day of retri bution, and a few months or years, such as France passed through in the L.st revolution, makes atone ment fer the wickedness of centuries.

' goes to pay the interest on a national debt, contracted for the protection and defence of that property, and for little else. - I am well aware that many of our -, pUblio writers on this subject have contended that a property or income-tax ought only to be resorted to when all other sources of revenue are exhausted,—Lin other words, that when the nation is in extremis,—ten, but not till then, ought the property or income of indi viduals to be taxed; and hence the popular delusion, that an income-tax is a war-tax. In my opinion, it is the only tax that ought to exist in a time of peace. Such political economists have no objection to take a slice of every man's daily bread—they have no objection to ask for a portion of all that is necessary to support and renew his strength from hour to hour —his meat, his drink, his clothing, must all contri bute —nay all that minister to the gratification of his senses must pay an enormous Government toll before it can reach the individual who has nothing but his abour to sustain him, be it only a pipe of tobacco or a pinch of snuff; but the property which a man may inherit or :squire must, forsooth, pay only in the proportion of one-half, until the sweat of every man's brow has been exhausted, and refuses to yield a fur ther supply. The systezn that will permit- an individual to. ac quire or possess property must be a . good one for that individual, however grinding and oppressive to others, and in the event of any national calamity placing tho interests of the whole in jeopardy, the possessions of the rich would require and absorb all the means of protection and defence in the power of the nation to give. 'Where, then, is the justice of the principle which governs indirect taxation ? Feeling, therefore, the manifest injustice of the present system, not only in principle, but in its de teriorating operation on the working classes, in coun teracting the just results of their labour, I would pro pose as a remedy that we retrace our steps. That the present land and assessed taxes be con tinued and increased if necessary. That a tax on property and income be made a permanent one, and that it be gradually increased from ypg . t 6 YeitilFdil . it shall have absorbed in the first inetaticii tang' ex cise duties, and also all the customs' duties, except such as are necessary to protect our own interests or to countervail and regulate oar intercourse with Other countries, but that all such as are now raised for re- venue should be transferred to the land, assessed taxes, property and inc ome . That the principle of the tax on property and in come should be the same as that which now governs the city of Frankfort, which is a sliding scale, com mencing at a half per cent. on all incomes of 150 florins per annum, and ending at two per cent. on those of 8,500 florins, and all above that sum. The greater degree of wealth in this country, and the vast accumulations in the hands of, more especially, the higher ranks, would justify the application of a scale commencing at one per cent., and ending at ten per cent. The dukes, marquisses, and noble lords, with rent rolls of 300,0001., 200,0001., and 100,0001. per annum, and the merchant princes with incomes of 100,0001. and 50,0001. a-year, might object to pay a per tentage in the proportion of their wealth, but the time is not far distant when this only just and equitable principle will be enforced upon them by a stern and overpowering necessity. By adopting this course, I believe, a saving of three millions might be effected out of the present annual charge of four-and-a-quarter millions for collecting the revenue, and the increased consumption of the working-classes would give to every kind of property an increase of value far beyond the taxes it would thus be called on to pay. A certain portion of it would therefore re-act, and still be borne by the labour of the country, but much that now escapes would be brought to bear its fair share of the national burdens. Our present system saps the foundation of all na tional prosperity, because it places the burdens of the State on the weakest instead of the strongestimembers —on the producing instead of the non-producing classes, thus adding oppression to injustice. It also most fearfully aggravates the causes of all national distress, because the labour of individuals can no longer compete with that of countries, where such a degree of taxation is unknown—whereas, were it placed on the property and income, instead of the labour of the country, from the great magnitude of our wealth as compared •with that of other countries, it would be scarcely felt, and the national industry of our people, freed from the incubus which now op presses it, would successfully compete with every na tion of the earth and carry all before it. The possessors of property may lay the flattering unc tion to their souls, that the representation of the country is in their hands, but without the further deteri ora ti on of the working lasses is stayed by the adoption cf the Equitable principle for which I am contending, the greatness of England will be almost as evanescent as was the gourd of Jonah, and the canker-worm of in justice and oppression will destroy the fairest politi cal fabric which ever guaranteed the liberties of a great and powerful people. In times of piping prosperity like the present, our rulers may evade the application of this lesson of self denial, but I will venture to foretel that, on the-next recurrence of evil days, " to this complexion must they come." w. F. S. Tollington Park, Feb. 1, 1845. t~,„< .~, ~ ~ ;~. DEATH of the EARL of EFFINGHAM. We regret to have to announce the demise of this gallant nobleman, who expired on Thursday last, at Brighton. The deceased, Kenneth Alexander Howard, Earl of Effing ham, and Baron Howard of Effingham, in the Peerage of the United Kingdom, was only son of Mr. Henry Howard, of Arundel, and the Hon. Maria Mackenzie, second daughter of Kenneth Viscount Fortrose, eldeit son of the Earl if Sea. forth. Ile was born November 29, 1767, and married May 27, 1800, Lady Charlotte Primrose, eldest daughter of the late and sister of the present Earl of Rosebery, by whOin he leaves issue three sons and two daughters-namely, Lord Howard, the Hon. Charles Howard, the Hon. and Rev. William Howard, and the Ladies Charlotte and Arabella Howard. The Noble Earl succeeded to the Barony on the death of his kinsman, Richard, last Earl of Effingham, as Lord Howard of Effinghatn, but in 1837 the Earldom was created anew in favour of the deceased. personages rtt so: s na.s nnaodpf cosalßti His Lordship, who had been in the army nearly sixty years, had eminently distinguished himself in that branch' of the service. He entered the army as Ensign on the 21srof April, 1786. From February, 1793, to May, 1795, his Lord ship served with the Guards on the Continent, and was present at the affair of St. Amand, where he was wounded; 'at - the siege and capture of Valenciennes, the action of Lincelles, and siege of Dunkirk. Daring the rebellion in 1798 he served as Major of Brigade in Ireland. He went in the same capacity with the expedition to Holland in 1799, and was present in all the actions of that campaign. In January, 1811, be joined the army in the Peninsula under the Duke of Welling. ton. Ile was appointed to the command of a brigade of the Ist division, and was present with that body at the action - of Fuentes d'Onor ; was transferred with his brigade' to the 2d division, the command of which he held as senior officer from July, 1811, to August, 1812. At the action of Arroyb_de Molinos he particularly attracted the favourable notice of his commanding officer (Lord Hill) by his determined gallantry. He commanded on that occasion the right column, princi pally composed of infantry from the 50th, 71st, and 92d Regiments, and a company of the 60th. In his dispatch to the Duke (then Viscount) of Wellington, Lord Hill recom mends to his notice the bravery of the then Major-General Howard in the highest terms. In November, 1812, he was appointed to the command of the Ist Brigade of Guards in the first division ; and in June in the following year-he suc ceeded to the entire command of that division of the army, which he maintained to the end of the war, in 1814. He was at the battle of Vittoria, the attack on Tolosa, at the passage of the Bidassoa, and at Rivelle. He also rendered great service at the Nive, and subsequently at 'Adour. The Noble Earl was at the investment of Bayonne, and repulse of the sortie, besides various affairs of minor importance. For his services at Vittoria and the Nive he received a medal and ono clasp. The Noble Earl was for some years Colonel of the 70th Foot, but on a vacancy occuring in the 3d (Buffs) in January, 1832,1 is Lordship was appointed to that regiment, which he has held ever since. Ms commissions dated as follows Ensign, April 21,- 1786 ; Captain, April 25, 1793 ; Lieu tenant-Colonel, December 30, 1797 ; Colonel, January 1, 1805 ; Major-General, July 25, 1810 ; Lieutenant-General August 12, 1819 ; and General, January 10, 1837.
