THE INCOME-TA.X COMMITTEE. (Evidence of Charles Pressly, Esq., continued from The Sun of yesterday.) Mr. J. Weesoe—ls the examination on oath ?-- The Commissioners have the power of administering on oath, but I believe it is very rarely resorted to. These questions would be much better answered by the surveyors, for it so happens that I have never attended an appeal, but I believe that is the general course. CuatetataN—You say that there is another duty ; what is the duty of the surveyors, as regards ex emptions ?—All persons whose incomes are under 1501. a year fill up a claim of exemption ; they state on the return paper that their total income from every source does not amount to 1501. a year, and they re quire to be furnished with the proper form for pro ving the same. This paper, as I stated before, being in the hands of the Government officer, he gives the party a form of claim of exemption ; upon that form the party states a full, just, and true account of the whole of his income derived from every source for the year ending the sth of April, 185—, and claims exemption in respect of such income; if the tax has been paid by him, he goes on to state that he re quests to be repaid. These forms of claims of exemp tion are sent to the surveyor ; if he is satisfied that the party's income is less than 1501. a year, he does not oblige the partiee in all cases to prove the same before the Commissioners. I believe in many cases where the Government officer is satisfied that the party's in come is less than 1501. a yell-, he signs the certificate eit the foot, which states that, " Having examined the above claim, I do hereby certify that the party appears to be wholly exempt from the duty charge able thereon." He submits the claim to the General Commissioners at one of their meetings, and they sign a certificate to that effect, and the name is struck out of the assessment; if the party has paid the money, the claim comes up to the office, and the amount is repaid to him. The law no doubt requires that each individual should go before the General Commissioners of the district to prove his exemption, but in practice it has been found that if the case of every man whose income was less than 1501. a year was brought up, it would be quite impos sible for the General Commissioners upon the ap peals to hear the cases; and I believe if the Com mittee examine some . of the surveyors, they will find that in some instances (I do not mean to say it is the general rule) claims to exemption are allowed without the party being obliged to appeal and appear personally before the General Commissioner of the district. Does the clerk of the Commissioners give him his discharge ? —lt the party is an assessment under Sche dule (D), for the profits of his trade at 1401. a year, the additions' Commissioners being satisfied that his income is only 1401. a year, they do not assess him, and therefore the clerk does not give a discharge; but in a case where the party has really paid the tax, for example, if a party is assessed through his tenant, supposing the amount of his income to be 1401. a year, and he has money in the funds, which with the profits of his trade, makes his income more than 1501. a year, then the clatin of exemption being signed by two of the Commissioners of the district, is sent up to the office in London, and repayment of the duty is granted, being properly voac'ned by the r ece i pts as regards rents, an examination of the Bank of Eng land hooka, as regards stock, a certificate front railways, or that species of property, as regards s h ares (the particular income for which the party claims to be repaid the duty being. stated), and a voucher showing that he has paid the particular duty being annexed to the claim for vehicle a repayment has l i been sought. C tIA:iC ELLOR of the EXCITEQUEn—That is in a case in which a person having paid the duty has established his claim to an exemption before the Commissioners, on the ground of his whole income being less than 1501. a year ?—Yes. Mr. hisRALLI—A. drawback?—Yes; a repayment or dreswback. CHAIRMAN—Is it not possible., or more than pro bable, that frauds are committed upon the revenue by parties claiming exemption or discharge on the groand of not having an income to the amount of 150/.?—Ys. Arc you able to lay before the Committee any in stances in which the tax has been evaded by parties claiming to have au income under 150/.?-1. am ; it may be hater, possibly, to produce particular cases in which we have proceeded for penalties for this very fraud, and msdo parties pay penalties; one great diffi culty is to ascertain the fact, but having ascertained the fact, we have no difficulty in prosecuting the party. Is it not possible, and probable, that frauds are co-mmitted upon the revenue by parties claiming ex emption or discharge on the ground of not having an income to the amount of 1501. a year ?—Yes. Will you state such examples as you can from re collection of these evasions P—l will put a case at once : a man fills up his claim of exemption, and states that his income is derived from money in the funds and from the rent of a house, and he leaves out altogether the sum of 4001. that he has upon mort gag9 ; he states that the whole of hi 4 income cowints of the dividends in the funds, and the rent of his house, and be gets exemption ; we will suppose the house to be 151. a year, and the dividend to be 301. a year; we repay him the tax which has been paid by his tenant on the rent of his house, and the tax which has been deducted from him by the bank on his divi dends. We find out afterwards that that man has 4001. on mortgage, end that his income is 4451. a year. How do you find that out afterwards?—l do not give this as a particular case, but I said that I would produce cases in which we had prosecuted parties for this very evasion. lam only putting a supposed case how the thing could arise. Mr. J. WinsoN—But is it not the case that, sup posing there is a mortgage upon an estate, the income tax is paid in the first instance by the occupier of the estate ; it is recovered from him in the payment of his rental from the owner of the estate, and the owner of the estate in paying the interest of his mortgage re covers the portion of the income-tax I)—Yes. So that there is no fraud committed in that case? —I beg your pardon, there is very great fraud; the fraud is in getting from the tax-office the repayment of money deducted from the dividends, and the repay ment of the tax which we have charged upon the man's house. CHAIRMAN—WiII you state any other examples?— I can produce instances in which tenants have stated their rents to be less than 3001. a year, and we have ascertained that it is very considerably above 3001. a year ; they have claimed exemption, and have been discharged from the assessment, and we have prose cuted them for the penalties. Are these evasions frequent?—They may be fre quent, but a great number of cases do not come to our knowledge. I can give a return, if the Com mittee wish it, of the sereral prosecutions that have been instituted sincethe introduction of the property . tax, against p ersona ma ki ng f raudulent cla i ms of ex emption, in those cases that have come to our know ledge. Can you state any other way in which the evasion takes place by which an individual under the clause of exemption can defraud the revenue ? Ii e can do so in any case where he has to claim the repayment of the tax by the suppression, in the return which he ii makes of the amount of his income, of any particular so urces of i ncome . That return is not on oath. e does not state on his oath that the whole of his income is derived from these particular sources. If he me sup presSes or leaves out of the claim ha makes any parti cular source of income so as to bring his income under 1501. a year, he gets exemption, and obtains a repayment, and nevertheless his income may be more than 1501. a year; the government officer having no knowledge of the party's.otlaer income, which may be in Cornwall, he residing in Kent. Suppose he has an income of 1651. and claims a de duction for an annuity which he pays in another part of the country of 20/., that would bring his income to 145/.?—Undoubtedly. In that case you would admit that h e would be exempt from the tax ?—Undoubtedly. At present, as the Act is carried out, is there no mode of ascertaining, when a person makes that claim for a return of the tax, whether the amount in re. spect of which he claims is really a bona fide trans. ac tion ?—lf he states to the General Commissioners that he does pay the annuity, and they grant the ex emption, we have no power to interfere. public , 11 aa the surveyor, whom I look upon as a office r , on behalf of the Inland Revenue to take care that r-- evasions t shall not take place, any power in "I?e ' He ought, undoubtedly, in the case of an annuity, to . the Geuersie require the party, when he is before an annuity tainissioners, to satisfy them that this is to pay. which he, the claimant, is bona fide obliged Suppose the autJ a ,atali : , receipt from airs.

CIIAIN CELL OR of the EXCH EquER ___ The Commis sioners h a ve the power of callin g fur suc h proof as is necessary to satisfy them that the annuity is paid ? of Undoubtedly ; it is with them alone to grant the exemption ; the Act Parliament is very clear upon the subject. CHA.I7.MAN TO po i n t of fact, is it not the case that " where claims for reduct ion are made on account _r payments in a distant part of t he countr y , there ' i s seldom, if ever, any inquiry ma to the reality of thou payments ?--I aporehend if it were a quastion of r e . payment for rent, the surveyor would require the collector's receipt of the particular payment, the col lector's receipt for the tax. In the case of an annuity, if the party states upon the face of his income that from his rents of real property he has 165/. a year, and that he is liable to an annuity of 20/. a year, --~''A_ . and if he produces a receipt from the party for such 201., I have no doubt that the General Commissioners of the district who investigated the claim would allow the exemption. The Act of Parliament upon that subject is "That every person claiming to be entitled to such exemption shall, within the time to be limited as hereinbefore directed for delivering in the lists, declarations, and statements required by this Act (or within such further time as the said Commissioners shall, for special cause assigned, allow), deliver or cause to be delilered to the assessor of the parish or place where such claimant shall reside, a notice of his claim for such exemption, together with a declaration and state ment, signed by such claimant, and in such form as may be provided under th e au th or ity o f this Act, de claring and setting forth therein all the particular sources from whence the income of such claimant shall arise, and the particular amount arising from each source, and also every sum of annual interest or other annual payment reserved or charged thereon, whereby the income shall or may be diminished, and also every sum which such claimant may have charged or may be entitled to charge against any other person, for or on account of the duty made payable by this Act, or which he may have deducted or retained, or may be entitled to deduct or retain under the authority of this Act, from or out of any payment to which he may be or become liable ; which declaration and statement every inspector or surveyor shall be at liberty to peruse and examine, and to take copies of or extracts from, under the like powers as in other cases ; and in every case where such claim for exemption shall be made in manner aforesaid, the assessor shall transmit such notice, declaration, and state ment to the said Commissioners ; and if the inspector or surveyor shall not object to such declaration within forty days a fter such trans mission, or within such further time as the Commi▪ s sioners, on just cause, shall allow to him to make such objection, it shall be lawful for the said Commi▪ s sioners to allow such claim of exemption, and to dis charge the assessment, and ddief he e po h n as a p n a y td p t r h o e p m er o t n y ey, or tphreonfitstooforsduecrhthpeerrseponacment. A surveyor could ans wer the question of w h at particular evidence the Com missioners generally require in the case of an annuity, better than I can. In the event of the discovery of a fraud upon the revenue by parties claiming exemption, what course is pursued by the officers, and what by the Board of Commissioners ?—The officer lays a statement before the Board, and we proceed against the parties for the penalties, if there is sufficient evidence. Mr. T. BARING—Is it your opinion that the amount to which the revenue has been defrauded by these evasions is considerable ?—I am afraid that, by claims of exemption, it is very considerable. Does your experience permit you to suggest any mode of correcting that ?—By t a ki ng awa y th e ex emptions upon incomes arising, from property. CHA!IIMAN—WouId the making the declarations on oath afford any remedy?—l am afraid not. .Lord H. V ANE —H ave y ou no t th e p owe r of ad ministering an oath no w ?—N o t in reference to claims of exemption. The granting exemptions rests with the General Commissioners. Mr. COBDEN—Are the claims for exemption when made by persons enjoying an income derived from a trade, or a profession, or a salary, more easily veri fied by you than when the income is derived from real property ?—Yes ; provided he has no income from any ether sources. It is perfectly easy to grant a man exemption upon the profits of his trade or pro fession, if they do not amount to 1501., because if the General Commissioners do their duty they have the power of calling for the man's books, and obliging him to prove that his income is less than 1501. a year. The frauds that I allude to are where parties have claimed the repayment of the tax, omitting from their returns certain property. There is no doubt that if a party having an income of 1401. a year from trade suppresses, and does not disclose to the Com missioners upon hearing the appeal that he has money in the funds, or real property, he may get relief; but supposing he is possessed of no other property than the profits of his trade, there is less difficulty in granting the exemption than in granting it under the other schedule ; but I have no doubt that claims are constantly made and granted under Schedule (D), where the real profits of the party arc much more than 1501. a year. Mr. HENLEY-113 fact being that in that case you have a simple issue to examine into, but that in the other it may be mixed up with four or five different matters, and you have not the same facility of getting at it ?—Quite so. Very frequently these cases are mixed, being partly trade profits and partly property ?—Very frequently. CHAIRMAN—From the experience which you have had in the working of this Act, you believe that evasions and- frauds may frequently occur by the ex emption ?—I do. Is there any mode, in your opinion, by which fraud can be prevented while exemptions are made? —lt is very difficult indeed, but especially under the Schedules (A) and (C). Mr. T. BARING—Do not you think that there ore sometimes parties whose incomes are under 1501. who are prevented claiming the exemption by the trouble and forms which are required ?—I have no doubt about it. Do you think that that is to any great extent ? From the amount claimed, and with reference to the estimate of Sir Robert, Peel in bringing in the Pro perty-tax Act, I should say that a large proportion is not claimed, sometimes from the trouble. I need not state to the Committee that, without some check, without giving the parties some trouble of filling up orms, we should be giving back a very considerable portion of the revenue which the parties were not ,mtitled to; it entails upon the individual certainly :tome trouble to obtain a repayment of the duty which lie has paid. CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—Can you state the amount of claims for repayment in any one or two years ?—I can. Mr. DISRAELI—Do those claims principally apply , :o. funded property ?—Principally to funded pro perty, but very considerably upon rents, railway sl:iares, interest money, and every species of property. Mr. J. WlLsoN—Property, where the tax is taken 'D . y deduction in the course of payment of the income? ---Yes. Mr. HENLEY—You have stated that you could put before this Committee the number of prosecutions hich have been instituted ?—I can ; but this had he tter be produced by the solicitor. Can you state to the Committee the number of cases N r hich have been submitted to you in which the sur- VE yors have exposed fraud, and in which you have r,i )t thought fit to institute prosecutions ?--That 1 v ould be very difficult, because it would entail the t examination of the whole of the correspondence with o ear surveyors ; we could write to each surveyor and t ~i certain what particular cases he had brought before t I e Board, but in the mass of correspondence it would 1 ii , very difficulty to select cases. You do not happen to have a record of that ?—No. Mr. SoTHERoN—Can you state what you suppose i s the proportion of cases reported to you, which, liter examination, you have not prosecuted ?—I .1: tnnot. Mr. J. WiLsoN—With regard to the funds, it is : ;:hown by a paper laid before the House of Commons 'tl tat considerably more than one-half of the reci pients of the interest upon the public :funds are those 1!I 3oeiviog sums of from 5/. to 10/. a year ; the in , a , Jrae-tax upon 51. would amount only to 2s. 11d.?- 5 'es. The Committee may assume that the trouble of r ecovering that 2s. lid. would be infinitely greater t: han the 2s. l ld. would be worth ?—I have no doubt a bout it; but we have had cases from Scotland of re urning 7d. _ _ That would be the income-tax upon U. ?—Yes, interest money ; but we have had several cases of 2 s., 35., and 4s. These claims are so numerous that I am afraid the rooms we have at Somerset House yi ill not hold them, if they go on at the same rate. Do these claims continue do the recipients appear (:( ) persevere annually ?—Yes ; we do not find them 11 off at all. From that you would assume that the return does 1.( !munerate for the trouble in obtaining it ?—lt does. . A t first the public supposed that the tax would have ,:,.( eased at the end of three years, and therefore did not .ouble themselves to prefer their claims, but when tl aey found the continuation of the tax, the claims in c reased, and they do increase every year. Are those principally with respect to the public f unds ?--A great number of them are, but they are a lso in respect o f i nteres t money, rents, railway shares, a nd ev ery species of property. The number of cases .) which parties made returns under the Income t ax Act at less than 1501. a year, as the profits of L heir trades and professions in the year 1848-49, and claimed total e xempt i on, b u t w ho were afterwards b nought into assessme n t and paid the duty, was 9,687, al id I dare say there are an equal number in former y eats.

EXTE-WSIVE ROBBERY. In the course of this week a very extensive system of plunder, which has been carried on for five or six months, was cleverly detected. About three or four weeks ago some circumstances occurred which led iko the suspicion that Messrs. T. R. and F. Andrews, drapers, of Wolverhampton, were being robbed to a vast amount, and that the re ceiver was connected with the Birmingham police force. The information was in the first instrince communicated to Superintendent Stevens, who im mediately devised means by which the guilty par ties would be detected. He opened up a communi cation with Messrs. Andrews, who bad not the slightest idea, their stock being very extensive, that property to a considerable amount had been abstracted from their premises. From what was stated to them, however, suspicion was excited towards one of their assistants, named William Neale, and two of the Birmingham detectives were sent to Wolver hampton, to exercise a strict surveillance over his movements. From what they observed, there could be no doubt of the fact that Neale was the thief, and equally little hesitation could be felt in coming to the conclusion that a policemen in the Birmingham force, named Richard Mills, residing in Camden-street, was the receiver. He also was closely watched ; and, it was found that packages of goods were regularly sent off by Neale, by rail and omnibus, at least once a week, and sometimes oftener, and as regularly re ceived by Mills. At length it was resolved, if possi ble, to bring the charge home to the parties. For this purpose some portions of the stock of Messrs.. Andrews, by direction of Mr. Stephens, went marked, on Monday last, and they were shortly afterwards missed. Neale was observed to send a package off by rail, and immediately the fact was communicated to Mr. Stephens,, On Tuesday afternoon that gentleman, accom panied by Inspector Glossop, proceeded to the Sand Pits station, where Mills was on duty, at the time when it was expected the package would arrive.. Mills there received the parcel, signed the delivery , book, stating that it was all right; when Mr. Ste phens immediately showed himself, and took Mills into custody on a charge of receiving property know ing it to be stolen. The fellow was thunder-struck, and admitted that he had received great quantities of property from Neale, although he declared that he did not know that it was improperly obtained. While this transaction was taking place, Mr. Glossop hurried off to Mills's house, and was about to institute a search, when he observed the postman enter the door. He handed two letters to Mrs. Mills, which were instantly snatched from her hand by Mr. Glossop. It was exceedingly fortunate that he did so, inasmuch as the letters were ultimately found to be of the greatest importance in the case. They were from Neale, and one of them contained the key of the box in which the goods were packed. The other contained directions as to the prices at which the property was to be disposed of; but espe cially urged upon Mills the necessity of taking the pri vate mark off the goods, so as to destroy their identity, and to get rid of any he had in band as speedily as possible, as he had a suspicion that the Birmingham police were watching him. This was a principal link in the evidence against them; but stronger proofs of guilt were afterwards found. In Mills's house was a room, fitted up as a. sort of warehouse, and there every article of an ex tensive drapery stock was discovered. Costly silks, satins, velvets, prints, calicoes, stockings, gloves, rich laces, purses, neck ties, silk pocket handkerchiefs, and meny other articles of drapery, to the amount of be tween 501. and 601., were systematically arranged. Information of what had occurred was sent to Colonel iiogg, the superintendent of the Wolverhampton police, and to Mr. Andrews, both of whom hastened to Birmingham, and found that the greater portion of the property discovered could be identified. Mills was consequently conveyed to Wolverhamp ton, and at the same time Neale was apprehended, ss hen he at once acknowledged that he did send the goods to Mills. It was under these circumstances that they were brought before the Wolverhampton magistrates on Wednesday and remanded. Since that period further inquiry has shown that the system of plunder alluded to has been carried on for about six months, and to an extent that was scarcely imagined at first. It hrs been ascertained that no fever than 14 bulky packages had been re ceived by Mills during the last two months. A book in account with the Birmingham Savings Bank, in Neale's name, was found in Mills's house, showing a deposit to the amount of 301., and on Neale himself memoranda of deposits made in the Birmingham Bank to the extent of 701. Further inquiry also revealed the fact that Mrs. Mills had disposed of drapery goods in the neighbourhood of her residence of the value of nearly 601, and that a young girl, named Jane Lewis Colesby, in the employment of a button manufacturer, and who resided with Mills, was instrumental in finding purchasers for articles to a similar amount. Goods of the value of 1801. have thus been accounted for. The list of persons to whom the girl sold arti cles contains the names of no fewer than 122 indivi duals. Tn consequence of these discoveries, both Mrs. Mills and the girl were apprehended as accessories. It appears that the intimacy between Mills and Neale arose from the circumstance that both were na tives of the same village, situated in the southern divi sion of this county. Neale was generally regarded with confidence, and Mills, who has been in the Bir mingham police for the last seven or eight years, was looked upon as a quiet, steady officer, and seemingly incapable of being involved in so serious a transac tion. The mode in which they did business apparently was this :—Neale generally came to Birmingham on Sunday, and then received the proceeds of what sales had taken place during the week, Mills doubt less obtaining a very handsome per centage by way of commission. This is an epitome of the case, so far as at present ascertained. Yesterday (Friday) the whole of the prisoners were taken before Mr. Leigh, the stipendiary magistrate, when so much of the case was stated as would justify a second remand, which was granted till next Friday.—Birmingham Journal.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current, Aug. 12.) Sucaa.—To-day importers of West India Sugar were disp)s.td to realise, and in some cases accepted prices 6d per cwt under those of Friday; there was, in conse quence, a fair business concluded. The purchases are 720 hhds &c., including at auction 178 hhds 20 trcs Bar badoes, which went off quietly, low and mid yellow 35s to 36s 6d, good and fine 37s to 40s 6d, and low to fine brown 32s 6d to 34s 6d; 106 hhds Jamaica, low and mid yellow, 34s to 35s 6d, good mid and good 36s to 36s 6d, good and fine brown 33s to 33a 6d; these are rather lower rates. REFINED.—To-day operations in Refined goods were upon a small scale by home dealers, and rather lower rates were taken, low to good brown lumps sold at 45s 6d to 46s 6d. In Crushed Sugar sales are upon a more extended scale for exportation, British at 27s 6d to 28s. per cwt. MAURITIIIS.—This afternoon the public sales of Mau ritius Sugar went off quietly—grainy realized full rates, superior white sold at 52s to 535, fine yellow 43s to 45s 6d, middling to good 37s 6d to 41s, low 35s to 375, brown 30s to 33s 6d; other sorts went rather lower, fine and superior yellow at 38s to 40s 6d, middling to good 35s to 37s 6d, ordinary 33s 6d to 34s 6d, brown from 30s to 333, low 28s to 29s 6d, and ordinary to fine grey 333 to 37s 6d per cwt. The total quantity offered is 2,100 bags. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar was ope rated in with caution, and at auction 310 bags sold at rather lower rates; low and middling white Benares w.. - at at 37s to 395, fair to fine soft yellow 33s to 36s 6d. Penang is rather cheaper, but at public sale 1,800 bags all sold; soft brown at 28s to 303, ordinary and middling yellow 31s 6d to 341, good to fine 34s 6d to 36s 6d, and ' common white 37s to 37s 6d per cwt. There is no public sale of Madras, and little was done privately. FOREIGN. —To-day Foreign Sugar met with little at tention for exportatio n or re fi n i ng , but still holders of fluting cargoes or duty paid parcels will not sell under the rates of Friday. There was no public sale to-day, and privately a loss amount on offer. MoLAssEs.— lthough there are sellers at rather lower rates, yet operations have been of little moment, and con fined to 200 puns; new St. Vincents at 12s 6d; Antigua 1.5 to old 12a 6d, small parcels Porto Rico and Cuba 133 to 143; Bengal and Mauritius its to 1 ls 6d per cwt. Honey is in more plentiful supply, and rather lower rates are taken, common to fine Jamaica selling at from 40s to 55s per cwt, a further reduction is looked for. Cocoa.—The demand has increased for W es t I n di a , and full rates are paid for inferior sorts, whilst an ad vance is apparent of is to 2s per cwt for better kinds. At public 576 bags Trinida,d.were disposed of; grey went at 37s to 413, fair to good red 425 to 47s 6d, fine 50s 6d to 543 6d, and damaged 303 6d to 41s per cwt. The rates paid privately for Grenada have been from 33s to 42s per cwt. I n F ore i gn there is yet little business doing, but prices remain at 26s to 275 for Bahia and Para, and at 29s to 30s per cwt for Guaquil. COFFEE.—This afternoon Plantation Ceylon Coffee was in active request, both for home consumption and exportation. At public sale 570 casks and 200 bags were nearly all sold, at fully former terms; good rea liaed 60s to 655, good middling 57s to 595, low middling to middling 52s to 565, fine fine ordinary 49s to 51s, fine ordinary 46s to 48s, pea berry 59s to 625, Ind triage 38s to 455.

The bland, invigorating, and life-prolonging power of this miracu lous medicine, rightly named "Life Pills," are at all times of service to assist nature in her varied operations, but in none are they of greater use than in promoting a natural secretion of the juices of the stomach and biliary organs, without which, the whole system soon becomes deranged, and will, if not immediately checked, induce a train of evils, which will hasten to premature decay. Never forget that it is far easier and better to prevent than cure. Sold by Messrs.

IPSWICH, AUG. 12. Wheat harvest being now general, as must naturally be expected, the attendance at this day's market was very small, and small as the attendance was, the show of samples of wheat was still smaller. The trade ruled exceedingly dull, but only is per qr. reduction from last week's prices must be quoted. The accounts from all parts of this county unhappily too clearly confirm the apprehensions excited and entertained last week, as to the ravages in the potato crop. PER QUARTER. PER QUARTER.

Oats Peas.... . - HULL, AUG. 12. Messrs. Taylor and Bright's circular states:—The weather has been uninterruptedly fine during the past week, and a continuance of it will hasten on harvest; in this neighbourhood cutting of wheat will be general its about seven to ten days. We have again to report a large arrival of all descriptions of grain, but the last three or four days they have materially slackened, and for the present may be expected to be only moderate; coming on universal dull mark e t s , and meeting weather of the finest possible description, it has been quite im possible to make any progress in sales, even when a smart concession would have been submitted to; consequently the bulk of the import goes to granary, in expectation of a better demand later on, and which we think likely to arise, as there can be no doubt both millers and country factors are allowing their stocks to run very low. We had to-day a good show of farmers' wheat, which met only slow sale at is per quarter decline but farmers very unwillingly submitted to this reduction. Our millers are now paying 38s to 40s for the best runs of red wheat weighing naturally 631hs per bushel. A mai show of foreign, many samples being withdrawn by thei leading factors; but, in the absence of buyers, this trade was very tame: good red Hamburgh wheat may now be bought at 38s per quarter of 4801bs. A continued con sumptive demand for barley: the import of oats is large. and the article suffers depression in consequence- Only a moderate business doing in beans, and peas only go off in mere retail. The import of linseed, being mainly on crushers' account, does not come on the market, which remains very firm: linseed cakes continue in fair de mand at late prices. Some sales of new English rape seed have been made at 211 los to 22/ lOs per List, as in quality and condition, both of which appear good. Rape cakes obtain our currency.

MURDER AT MANCHESTER.—James Macn ambit has been committed for trial at the Liverpool assizes, by tli e . coroner for the borough of Manchester, M r . H er f o , r d, fo r the murder of a young man named Henry Ellis, by beating him on the head with a hammer. About ten o'clock on the night of Saturday, the 12th ult., the unfort una t e d ec eased was was in a beer-house in Queen-street, Iluline, in comPa n J with the accused and several others. The evidence au to the cause of the fatal attack was not very plain, but it svenl ed that Ellis, who was in liquor, had done something to. Ma e ; namara, who is a shoemaker, and the latter thereupon we ll i home and got one of his hammers, put it in his pocket, repaired to the beer-house again. Ellis was still present, and en Macnamara making his appearance a second time held out his hand, and the usual sign of amity and frierttlsb'r passed between them. In a few minutes Afterwards, toW ever, on their leaving the h ouse together, Macnar na' „ ,7 tripped his victim up and st ruc k hi m while on the gro an with the sharp end of hi s h ammer, inflicting a terrib',`: wound on the back of the head, and ran off under pretonc e of punishing a wom an w h o had interfered.
