On marine insurances the stamp duty is so heavy and pernicious, tint a great part of the insurances which would be effected in England are made at Antwerp, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and llainburgh. The stamps, therefore, on fire and marine insurance s now yieldin g a b ou t a m illi on an d a quarter, should be: abolished. Licensing stage-carriages and hackney-coaches ap pears a duty which ought to be abolished; it produces something about half a million for Great Britain. • Ireland is exempt from this duty on hackney-coaches and state-carriages. The licence-duty on them in Eng land is, however, not severely felt, nor very restrictive upon occupation ; while it forms to some extent a gua rantee for the faithful performance of the obligations of the proprietors of carriages and their servants. The probate and legacy duty yields about two millions sterling annually for Great Britain, and tOr Ireland only GC 0321. It is a duty tl7rt rniy be evaded, by giving during life that which is bequeathed by the giver, only after his death, to the person who is to reek ive the legacy. The mistrust of the possessor, however, or the power that it gives him, while in life, does not often allow him to sur render his property until he is in a state unable any longer to meddle with it. So that while men continue to possess wt nut!), the treasury will receive a considerable revenue from the stamp duty on probates and legacies. But we cannot defend the principle of making personal estate liable to, and exempting real estate from this duty. This requires an equitable adjustment. The duties on hawkers' and pediers' licences are grievous impositions upon itinerant dealers ; nor do we believe that those licences are of any advantage in pre venting fraud. The stamp duty on gold and silver plate is less.obje.c tionable than many others. It is, however, considered inquisitorial, and may not be a security as to the purity of the metals, for the stamp may verily easily be forged. It yields about 100,0004, of which about 2,000 L only is paid in Ireland. Taking, therefore, into consideration the exigencies of the Treasury, we cannot well propose any diminution or abolition of the stamp duties, except upon, Fire and marine insurances, which would leave an annual revenue from stamps of at least ..... All the stamp duties, however, regain an equitable adjusttnent. ~, i i f' i :F „ ; /i/4_d Ali TO C O III4IMRCIAL TRAVELTIMS. Extensive 11.

In accordance, therefore, with the foregoing princi ples, that country which possesses average advantages from nature, and whose population possesses the greatest industry, ingenuity, and intelligence, will, if unfettered from legislative restriction, become, in proportion to its extent, resources, and advantages, the most flourishing country in the world; or at lea. t as prosperous as any other country with equal natural and moral advantages, and legis!ating upon equally liberal principles. • We believe that the United Kingdom possesses all the requisite advantages to become that which nothing but false legislation prevents, viz, far more independent, prosperous,' and far more Hat and powerful, and with the whole population far less poor, far better employed, more fairly-paid for their labour, better sheltered, clad, and fed, and more comfortable than that, at the present time, of any other country in the world.

The most convenient adjustment of the present as sessed taxes could be to abolish them altogether, and substitute a direct tax upon the profits of all realised property. A revenue of from 10,000,000/. to 12.000 000/. might be raised by this simple and just method of direct taxation ; and we are con fident, from what we have observed in France, Austria, Prussia, and some other States, that its collection would in a short period be found less grievous to the inhabi • tants cf Great Britain than the existing vexatious and inquisitorial assessed taxes. But we are not blind to the Parliamentary obstacles opposed to such an equi table tax in substitution of the existing assessed and in come taxes, and to provide for other • taxes which we propose to abolish. ... to ' ; ... .to ' I . .... ~.. ; ...... ttoo to' % ..... : to ' ,1 - ,..... 0 ;, 5 i 4 3 % ..... .to 15t, ..... , 0 31., ; ..... • or • 61 t o o it 1 ... to ',, [ •••.- to ..

Among the 10,000 in use, they have been adopted by the of authorities of the Houses of Parliament, Woolwich Duck-yard, Somerset-house, Foreign-aftice, Thames Tunnel, United Service, Reform, Conservative, and other Clab-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, mid 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 Deflies's Dry Meter, and to observe his name on the brass badge In front of all his meters.

Peel grows wanton, or careless, and seems inclined to trifle alike with his supporters and the country. One or two triumphant - divisions happening to combine with a little personal altercation in public, have ap parently weakened his discretion • and he is tempted to ab use his " little brief au th or i ty " with those "fantastic tricks" which " make even angels weep." Members of Parliament do not weep,—but then t hey are not angels. Mr. Hogg, looking at the new differential duty on East India sugar, as a dry matter of business, and having faith in the Premier, sees nothing fantastic in the attempt to declare a difference by Act of Par liament where there is no distinction in fact. Ile, therefore, gravely remonstrates, makes a 'motion and a long speech ; and Mr. Hume seconds the motion in a short one. We do not counsel weeping in such cases; we think laughing would here have been somewhat more to the purpose. The utter impos sibility of carrying into practice a distinction between sugars equal to white clayed," and " not equal to white clayed," is evidently not unknown to these gentlemen, and might, we should have supposed, have been deemed a sufficient guarantee that the attempt would either never be made, or be very quickly abandoned. Mr. Hogg's proposal to add the words, "in quality," and so make subject to the higher duty only sugars "equal in quality to white clayed," does not get rid of, and scarcely diminishes, the difficulty. The other pro posal, to adopt as a test the amount of saccharine matter contained in the sugar to be charged, has the aps pearance of being more definite; but the adoption of any such standard is clearly at variance not only with the propo sition of the Government (so far as that can be made suffi• ciently definite to admit of comparison), but also with every other proposition yet submitted, and also with every distinc tion, in respect to quality, hitherto made in fixing the duties. It can scarcely be necessary to say that it is not in ,the quantity of saccharine matter it contains, that the superiority of refined over raw sugar consists. 'The chief points of its superiority are, obviously, a higher degree of crystallisation, and a comparative freedom from colouring matter. But the former increases the quantity of the water of crystallisation in a given weight of sugar, and so tends to diminish the proportion of saccharine matter. Now,, both the degree of crystallisation and the colour may, and do, vary infinitely; and if we may place any dependence upon the assurance of those who possess the best practical information on the subject, it is not possible to draw a line at any particular point of refinement suf ficiently definite to be made the basis of any fiscal re gulation whatever. No two sugar dealers in England are, we believe, at this moment agreed as to what precisely is, and what is not, white clayed sugar. The Govern ment pretends ignorance of this. Mr. Goulburn knew it last year, and made good use of it in the debate upon the last alteration of the sugar duties. Yet, this rear, Sir Robert P ee l h as no t y e t arrived at a know ledge of it. But then he declares he was not at liberty to make inquiries. Had he done so, people might have formed some notion of what he was about. The present measure re quired careful and secret preparation. Admitting this to be true is, at least, highly characteristic. Like a conjuror behind his curtain, preparing his next trick, Sir Robert is con tent to " dress up his statement" i n t h e d ark—to give altogether to his audience the benefit of what ever light there may be, in order to preserve the more com pletely the mystery of the coming display. He is willing to be ignorant of what everybody else knows, provided he.can only keep them from guessing at what he is going to do. Flowerer, the display has now been made, and the effect found decidedly defective. The audience have enligh-• tened our worthy conjuror, and he will retire to con sider, and, if he can do no better, withdraw his "trick." A definition of w h a t i s mean t b y " white dived sugar" is loudly called for. Sir Robert will try to make one, and —if lie finds he cannot—why, he'll give it up :—" To the consideration of this point the Government would apply themselves; they had had communication with the Custom-house, but it was, of course, difficult at present to speak to details ; and, under the circumstances, he should say the , best course would be to allow the resolution to pass now ; and, unless the Go•. vernment could adopt some established rule as to what should be the quality of the sugar, it should be un derstood that his Hon. Friend should be at liberty , to make a motion similar to that lie had now proposed to the House In the interim the Government would consider the question." Of course, what does not exist it is idle to seek for ; but if the new duty be at once abandoned, we shall escape the dis putes which must have arisen from having upon the statute book, even for a shoe t time, a distinction which could not have been enforced in practice. STANDARD.—Mr. Duncombe last night brought for ward his motion, and what is more, brought forward his proofs. Mr Duncombe's notions of a proof are extremely amusing, but not quite original. The genius of Fielding has in fact anticipated, though it has not equalled, the concep tion of the gay Member for Finsbury. " Can you deny," says Mrs. Gobble, " that you are a vagrum and a dilatory sort of person ? Han't the man with the satchel made an affidavy of it?" "Can you deny," says Mr. Duncombe," that vou opened my letters ; di d not my man with the satchel, M. Mazzini, tell me last summer that some Post-office clerks ? I ' ' ' im A th n a d t tl t i b is e r ears be fore?"

Mr. Duncombe having been, when ho heard the fact, full two years quite in sensible to the painful pressure of that public disgrace, which he has found so intolerabl e ever since—informed of the open ing of his letters. To make th e matter, however, If possible, more absurd, Mr. Dun com b e moved, to call Colonel Ma ought beri i Y tq the bar, to expl a i n what he (Mr. D n the first pl ace to prove bythe evidenceuncotnb e2 f the clerks.

But, to the special damage of Mr. if no criminal or civil proceedings at law could possibly be founded upon Mr. Dunoombe's motion, if successful, what was the use of it ? Mr. (Des pard's plot) D'lsraeli shall tell ; for, that everything might be harmonious and complete, Mr. Duncombe's motion was se conded by the author of " Coningsby." Mr. D'lsraeli ad mits that such motions as he seconded are inconveniences, and evils ; incident to free government t as the burning of cities and other like things are i n conveniences and evils flowing from the same cause. H a d h e no t b ee h mo d es t h e might have added that the writing of libellous and immoral books and the libelling of honest and upright men by pri vilege of Parliament, are also inconveniences and evils arising from a free constitution. So far Mr. D'lsraeli's propositions are indisputable; but his inference la open to exception. Our free Constitution may disable us from guarding against stupid and mischievous debates, fire raising, and slander ; but surely it does not justify any of these very inconvenient and mischievous practices. The poor feilows who were hanged at Bristol, by their brother reformers, were not al lowed the benefit of Mr. D'lsraeli's plea, and we do not see why any others ought to be allowed to avail themselves of it, when it was refused to those protomartyrs of reform. We did hope to hear no more of Mr. D'lsraeli ; however, we scarcely regret that be obtruded himself last night, as his doing so gave opportunity to Sir Robert Peel to deliver a splendid speech, in a style from which his constitutional mildness and good humour generally restrain him. Mr. Duncombe's absurd motion was of course rejected. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, FEB. 28.—We have a very quiet market, nor do we expect to see much doing here until the details of the new duties are known and in force. A few sales have been made in Barbadoes sugars since our last, at steady prices; but in other descriptions there is very little doing.—Bristol Mercury.

TAXES UPON CONSUMPTION. The Governments of nearly all countries have, pro bebly as far back as their foundation, exacted tribute, or tolls, on the importation or exportation of commodities. The department of Government established to levy those taxes was variously named. It was originally neither more nor less than a tollhouse erected at inland passes, or at landing-places, for collecting a tribute to be paid to the king or prince. In progress of time it grew up to be one of the most formidable departments a state, by the sea -coast, by straits, by rivers, and by land. In Ger many the name is still Zcii, ur toll ; in France, huuune ; in Italy, Dogana. Commodities produced in one country and imported into another country, to be used therein, can only enter extensively into consumption when the price is as low as, or lower than, that at which similar commodities can be produced at home. The natural advantages or disadvantages of soil, climate, minerals, raw materials, geographical position, population, and the state of the arts and sciences, vary so greatly in one country from those of another, that some countries can produce some commodities which others cannot at equally low prices. Commodities which a country does not produce at all, or only at high prices, can be consumed by the non-pro ducing or dear producing country with more advantage and in greater quantity, if those articles are purchased at and brought trona the places where they are to be found at the cheapest cost. There is no country, with ordinary advantages, that does not produce some commodities so cheaply as to find a market for what it produces, over its own consump tion, in some other country, and from which a different kind of article may be brought with profit in return. This interchange constitutes international trade. The more numerous or burdensome are the restric tions the more limited will this commerce be. The fewer and lighter are the restrictions the more extended will it prove. All experience form evidence of these facts. If a nation were in a condition that its administration and security could be maintained without exacting that tax upon the value of commodities, which constitutes, not the whole national income, but, as usually levied, what is termed the indirect public revenue, then no duty whatever should be levied, either upon articles pro duced at home, or upon those imported from foreign countries. A public revenue being indispensable to defray the necessary public expenditure, property, whether in land, or in commodities produced at home, or imported from abroad, ought to be taxed, or made to yield up annually a just proportion of its rent or profit equal to the amount of the annual legitimate claims upon the nation. This proportion of the annual rent, or profit, of property, would then form the whole amount of equitable taxa tion, levied upoa all that could equitably constitute the whole national income. If commodities which enter into home consumption are to be taxed, the equitable scale of levying this tax would be, to levy exactly the same duty upon an ar ticle produced at home as upon a similar article imported from abroad. There can be no other equitable scale of taxing com modities, whether produced at home, or imported from abroad for domestic consumption. The producer never pays the tax upon the article he produces ; he must add, to make any profit by it, the duty or tax, as well as his profit, to the cost of produc tion, and then the consumer pays the whole, including the tax. Whoever produces the article consumed, or wherever it is produced, the consumer pays, not the cost of pro ducing it, but the whole market value of the article, in cluding every tax upon it. The producer is, however, limited in his sales by the article he produces being highly taxed, whether at home or abroad, and his profits are also diminish( d by taxes, either at home or abroad, upon the article which he produces, as well as by the taxes upon every article which he consumes. If tia: market value of the home-produced article be higher than the cost of a similar article produced and imported from abroad, that difference of value arises from a restriction upon the admission for consumption of the cheaper article, bither by actual prohibition or by high duties forming practical prohibition, or by duties so high that the foreign article can only be imported and used at prices equal to the amount both of its natural market value and also of the tax added, either for revenue or to protect the article produced at home. The difference between the natural price of an article imported from abroad, and the higher price of a similar article produced at home, is a tax imposed upon- the whole community, it order to put the amount of that dif ference inta the pocket of the producer of the home made article ; it is also a far greater burden upon the nation, which is further taxed to the value of so much of the labour, production, trade, and navigation, which the protective tax restricts, If taxation note articles of consumption be indispen sable r Meet the claims upon the public revenue, then, Ira quarter of wheat imported from Prussia, Odessa, or elsewhere, pay a duty of Ss , or 45., when entered for consumption in the United kingdom ; in like manner, every quarter of wheat produced at home to pay a duty o f B s . or ought, on sound principle, -----_ - One obstacle to our plan is the Land Tax Redemption Act of 1789—certainly the greatest financial blunder ever committed by a British statesman. The rotten ness of one measure of expediency will ever be found to give birth to some other unsound expedient, to palliate for the time what is only curable by a bold and sound remedy. Temporary► Expediencies, without any certain provision fir future exigencies, occasioned the financial dlrriculties that called forth the Bank Restriw.lon Act. The embarrassments in which this Act involved the then Chancellor of the Exchequer made him seize upon the most available expedient: that was, to offer up for sale the fixed revenues of Great Britain. The history of this mea sure, as far as it has been carried into effect, may be usefully instructive in showing how little advantage had been gained to the Treasury, not only in proportion to the amount of revenue lost, but especially as regards the obstacle which the Land Tax Redemption Act has formed to a sound adjustment of the taxation of Great Britain. had the land-tax been completely, instead of partially redeemed, this difficulty in the way of financial legislation would have been greatly dimi nished; but, as it is, it has formed a plea for not im posing any further tax upon land. But to this plea we are honestly bound to demur. Another difficulty opposed to an equitable adjustment of the assessed taxes is the circumstance of there being no such taxes levied in Ireland. The justice, again, of this exemption in one, and of liability in the other two, of the three United Kingdoms, would he a tusk requiring powers of more than ordinary ability to defend. The justice of the exemption we deny. Taking the assessed taxes of Great Britain as we now find them, and considering them to be not only inquisitorial and grievous in the collection, but exceed ingly injurious in their application, being detrimental to 'ndustry and to the employment of artisans and the la bouring classes, we consider the following revision as the most equitable, which may be adopted with the least objection in practice, and with the greatest safety to the Exchequer. The net amount of land, and other assessed taxes, for 1844, was The net amount of land, and other assessed Net amount of ;assessed taxes, exclusive of land-taxes The net amount of land-tax Taxes, for 1844 The net amount of land -tax Net amount of tss,,essed taxes, exclusive of land- tax Jt l .l these taxes we propose to abolish, for the follow lug reasons :- 1. The window-tax, which yielded for the year 1839 Reasons for Abolition.—Being inquisitorial and vex atious in the assessment and collection ; injurious to the health of the population ; being objectionable as regards architecture, cleanliness, and restricting the employment in glass manufactures of joiners who make window frames, of glaziers and painters; and being a tax unequal in its assessment, as large houses do not require the same number of windows in proportion to rents as small and middle-sized houses. In tho latter respect, the window- tax is particularly grievous. 2. Servants, yielding in revenue 3201,482 Reasons.—Being a tax which limits the giving em ployment to servants, and, by their not being employed, the occupations of others is limited, as cloth manufac turers, tailors, hatters, shoemakers, &c., fur their clothing, &c. Every limitation of employment, whether of servants or others, limits industry, and increases the poor -rates. 3. Carriages £447,467 Reasons.—This tax is grievous, as it limits to a most injurious extent the employment of artisans and work men, the great proportion of the value of carriages, of whatever description, and their appurtenances, being the labour and skill of coach-builders, coach-spring makers, w coach-smiths, curriers, cloth manufacturers, coach-paint- en , ers and glaziers, harness makers, saddlers, &c. The em ployment of carriages creates also employment for coachmen, servants, and horses, &c. • 4. Horses for riding, &c., and other Feb, horses and mules Reasons.—By the assessed taxes restricting the em ployment of horses for riding, and other horses and mules, &c., it is easy to prove that this tax does, to an immense amount, limit employment ; exercise 'for health and recreation is also greatly restricted by its expense. It is especially grievous as a tax on horses by the day. Countless thousands, who cannot afford to keep horses on account of the expense of feeding and taking care of them, would hire horses fre quently by the hour or day, were it not for the high duty on each time a horse is let. It is also injurious to curriers, sadlers, harness-makers, horse-cloth-makers, blacksmiths, stable-keepers, sellers of fodder and oats, grooms, &c. Horsedeslers £12,739 Reasons.—Tax unjust. Why not tax other dealers? Dogs Reasons.—Chiefly that of abolishing the assessed taxes, and as the substitution to be proposed will justify the abolition of this tax. It is also inquisitorial, and an •ften-evaded tax. Hair Powder Armorial Bearings £64,100 Reasons—The same as those for abolishing the dog tax. Game Duties £150,504 Reasons—The same as those for abolishing the taxes on dogs. Now, the amount of the assessed taxes proposed to be abolished is about one-fourth of a million less than three millions. We believe, if all the grievances and inconveniences of the assessed taxes which we propose to abolish, and the convenience in collection of the tax we propose to substitute, and the far less inquisitorial nature of rating the rents or profits of realised property, were but clearly understood by Members of Parliament and their con stituents, that this great financial reform, which may appear to little men a bold measure, would be carried in the House of Commons without a division. In order to extend the direct tax upon property, we should, in equity, extend it to Ireland ; and we could show that the people of Ireland would not be treated unjustly by such taxation upon the rents and profits of rea!ised pro perty, but that it would even be made beneficial to the improvement of that country, and to the condition of the inhabitants. STAMP DUTIES. This tax yields the Treasury — From Great Britain, about tG,750,000 From Ireland, about Total The delay and restriction imposed by stamps upon trade and commerce would appear to justify the abolition of this tax altogether, but its amount is too important, in the existing financial condition of the United King dom, to permit such a measure of convenience as well as relief to the population. In some respects, it can not be highly objectionable ; deeds, and other acts and documents of great importance, owing much of their security against fraud and forgery to the stamp, may be made reasonably to bear an expense for this security. But, knowing that the stamp duty acts oppros,ively in many respects, we cannot pass it over without pro posing some alterations. The stamp duty upon fire insurances is annually about double the amount charged for insuring property; this .._fig POST -OFFICE. We have, long before the late change was made in the Post office charges, been of opinion that, as the Govern ment should never possess a monopoly of trade, the Post -office charges should be regulated, not with a view to revenue, but to the purposes of covering all the ex penses required to convey letters and intelligence with security and with rapidity. The tax imposed upon the public by the late Post office reform is so very moderate, that while it still yields a considerable revenue, which we believe confidently will increase, no one can desire any alteration in the rate of postage. Many of the recent arrangements of the Government for conveying the mails have been so extremely bene ficial, that great credit is due to the late and present Administration. There are, however, many places to which we would recommend morning mails to be dispatched. This would be beneficial, and would add no expense to the Post-office. The line of steam packets established by the Govenment contract with Mr. Cunard, for carrying the mail* twice a month across the Atlantic, between Liverpool, Halifax, and Boston, has not only already more than repaid the outlay made by the Government, but leaves every prospect of an increasing surpl us o f revenue. The fiscal considera tion would be effectually secured,!if such powerful steam boats as those of the Liverpool, Halifax, and Boston line were to be dispatched from Liverpool once a week during the eight spring, summer, and autumnal months, and once a fortnight during the months of November. December, January, and February. The Post .office would not only gain in revenue from this arrangement, but this frequent intercourse would form a great and rapid line of communication be tween the whole of Europe and all North America, including all the countries from the Gulf of Mexico to Lake Superior, It would, in practical effect, be connecting Europe and America in -com mon intere ts, by convenient rapid communication forming, in truth, a great broad way of intelligence and civilization, and, with freedom of trade, the best means of increasing the commerce and prosperity reciprocally of, and maintaining peace and good faith between, the countries most interested. Under the old packet system between Falmouth and Halifax, by the gun-brigs, exclusive of the deplorable loss by foundering of nearly all those dangerous vessels, with all their crews and passengers, and expense to Govern ment, was about 40.000/. annually more than the re ceipts of postage. By the recent line of steam-ships, a large balance will, we believe, at the end of one year after the first packet steam-ship sailed from Liverpool, appear to the credit side of the Atlantic mails. Marty other arrangements for carrying the mails by steam have been made by the Treasury and Admiralty. Traversing the world, from England to the Gulf of Mexico, and then overland, to meet other steam-ships, on the west of the Isthmus of Panama, to com municate over the Pacific to New Zealand and New Holland, meeting other lines communicating - with India, the Red Sea ; and by crossing ever the Isthmus of Suez, meeting the British mail steam-packets for England at Alexandria, we believe to be far from an impracticable delusion. The practicable and not unprofitable establishment of all this is not far distant ; especially when we all know how very lately the practicability of running steam-ships across the Atlantic was questioned, doubted, and de nied. The recent contracts for multiplyin g the steam communication with India, and by a branch line from Ceylon to China, will be found of immense advantage. The steam communication recently extended to the Levant is also important. There is another great consideration, one of economy, too, in the end, in regard to large, strongly built, and powerful steam-ships—that is, the readiness with which mail steam -ships of great strength and power may be turned into steam-ships of war ; and that they may be de fa( k. considered as such on the North American, West Indian, and Mediter ranean lines. Now, it that mail steam navigation were to belong to foreign countries, British capital no doubt would, we believe, be that chiefly invested in them ; yet in the event of war, they would not only not be available to England, but they would in all the likelihood of probabilities, be turned against us. This, in the change which steam power must create in naval tactics, is a most serious consideration for the British Government and for the British public. We would therefore recommend that any surplus re venue frem the Post-office should be applied to iecrea.s- Mg the number of mail steam- ships. RAILWAY RETURNS.

Mrs. Iteppeneck testified that l'auline frequently came and beat her severely with a leather thong and her fist, and that her knowledge of her husband's intercourse with the slave h a d f requent l y led him to s t r ik e 'ier. Her testimony was corroborated by that of Dix* another slave, who had witnessed the brutal treatment of Mrs. Reppeneck and her children on several occasions, and who finally informed a gentleman 0f it, through whose interference it came to the knowledge of the police. The testimony was so direct and undoubted, that Pauline was convicted and sentenced to be hung on the 21st of February, though the sentence was postponed until the ' 2Sth of March, 1846, in consequence of the fact that she is now pregnant." HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION AND DISEASES OP .'• THE CHEST.---OH Friday evening the general quarterly meeting of the ' above charity was held at the board-room in Great Marlborough- • street. Dr. Dickson, M.D., of Curzon-street, in the chair. The re port, read by the secretary, Osborne P. Cross, Esq., stated that the financial department was in a most encouraging position. In 1841, the receipts amounted to but 8001., while in the present year the sum total was as many thousands. The total ninnbtir of out-patients re lieved is now nearly three thousand, and the number of in-patients two hundred. The report was seconded and una nimously adopted. The report of the building committee of the new structure now in progress at Brompton next stated that all pecuniary claims, up to the present time, had been liqui dated, including the first building instalment, together with the heavy cost of enclosure, drainage, and laying the foundation-stone by Prince Albert. There yet remains in the hands of the Treasure* the swill of 3,000/. Thanks having been very cordially voted to the Chairman, the meeting separated. It is probable that a great portion 0/ the new structure will be completed at the close of the present year. 175 2,7 A 399 569 610 234 645 2,045 3,453 1,460 653 183 1,652 320 636 1,759 3,077 1,191 882 2,2i0 638 4,294 74 I 2,763 5,354 7,24 3,683 02 3,264 940 lONDON AND WESTMINSTER BA NK .
