THE AUL D MAN IN AL D GATE.

Seeing him there, I stayed my onward walk, In hopes, at length, o f ge ttin g him to talk; Then stepping up, " Good morning, sir," said I; Good morning," was the grey-haired man's reply. I can't help looking (said the man of yore) At that great house which now we stand before : 'Tls twenty years ago since I was here, And what a mighty change -oh, dear ! oh, dear 1 There's an extensi ve ware h ouse —there's a s h ow — W ho would have thought it twenty years ago R ut will you (asked the venerable man) ,EaPlain the houses on so great a plan ?" :With all my heart (said I) ; I'm always glad 1 0 give instru,tions where it will be bad.

GEORGE EDW LIM HOLL EST, of Frimley, Surrey —Frimley, Bag shot, December 31, IRSO. —An earnest AP PEAL to public benevolence Is respectfully submitted by a few friend , ' and neighbours on behalf of the WIDOW of the late Rev :GEORGE EDWARD HOLI ,EST, who for a period of IR years, in an exemplary - manner, performed the duties of his church, and was distinguished by his benevolence and charity in the wide district under his charge. The act of atrocity by which the Rev. Mr. holiest was suddenly cut off is universally known, but those only who are acquainted with his posi tion are aware that he never had the meaus of making provisi en for his widow. Under such circumstances, it is hoped that the case of litre. Holiest will commend itself to the generous consideration of those who are blessed with the means of alleviating, so far as human sympathy and assistance can alleviate, the distress of a family so fearfully bereft of its natural supporter. The income of Mrs. Holiest does not exceed 40/. per annum, and subscriptions aro earnestly solicited in aid of these inadequate means. Subscriptions will be thankfully received by the following bankers :—Messrs. Herries, Farquhar, and Co.; Messrs. Williams, Deacon, and Co.; Messrs. Barclay, Tritton, and Co. ; Messrs. Coutts, and Co.; Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Co.; Sir S. Scott, Bart., mill Co., I, Cavendish square; Messrs. Mangles Brothers, Guildford; Messrs. Stev,iis and Blandy, Reading; also by the following members of the Com mittee : R. R. Bayley, Esq., Mitchett, Frimley, Bagshot. J. F. Burrell, Esq., Manor House, Frimley. Rev. J. H. Clayton, Farnborough, Bagshot. Rev. John Lawrell, Cove, Bagshot. Sir Walter Farquhar, Bart., Farnborough-place, Bagshot. • Thomas Longman, Esq., Farnborough-hill. Bagshot. Captain Charles Edward Mangles, Poyle-park, Farnham, Surrey. The Committee have the satisfaction to state that her Majesty the Queen, the Duchess of Gloucester, and the Bishop of Winchester, have sanctioned their exertions by very liberal donations. The Committee return their grateful thanks for the liberal manner in which their appeal has been responded to, and they thankfully acknowledge the following ADDITIONAL SUBSCRIPTIONi.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. • Capital-500,0Ni/. (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Vict., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office arz —Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements en which to proportion Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted •n, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this Question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to tire, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual inrestiga , lon will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Property on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured . at 3s . per cent, without the Average Clause.

Mr. Bodkin, addressing Mr. Norton, said he had the honour to appear on behalf of the Commissioners in Lunacy, one of whom, with their secretary and solicitor, was also present, to prosecute in the present case, which they conceived to be one of considerable public import ance. The coroner before whom the case had been in vestigated had, he (Mr. Bodkin) understood, refused, from a conscientious but mistaken view of the law, to receive as witnesses, and therefore rejected the evidence as against the accused, of those patients who were in the infirmary at the time, and who witnessed the prisoner's violence towards the deceased. It would be his (Mr. Bodkin's) duty now to place in the witness-box one of these poor men, and he had no doubt whatever, after hearing the statement of this poor man, the magistrate would feel it to be his duty to send the case to another and higher court. The Learned Counsel here desired that Richard Don nolly be called and sworn. Mr. Herring, whose objections to his heir)g received as a witness had been overruled by the magistrate, ex amined Donnolly as to his notions of the obligation of an oath, and his answers were as lucid and satisfactory as could be given. The oath was then administered to him in the usual way, and he deposed as follows :—I am an Irishman, and have been i❑ Mr. Armstrong's Asylum for about four years and four months. I knew the de ceased man Barnes. He was in the infirmary the latter part of the time, and I slept next to him. I recollect Christmas-day, it was on the Wednesday, and on the Monday evening, before seven o'clock, the deceased, who was a sulky man and easily excited, was desired to go to bed, but he would not till Hill (the prisoner) came. The prisoner behaved a little more hastily tha❑ usual, and took hold of Barnes with both his hands by the upper part of th• arms, and threw him down suddenly on the ground. I don't remember whether the prisoner fell upon him or not; but Barnes came down with his left shoulder übdermost. Hill helped him up and proceeded to strip him. The deceased said he should not let Hill or myself put him to bed, as he had not been hurt, and I then said, " You have got your Christmas-box, poor man." This I said to Barnes, in allusion to the fall he received from Hill. Hill put the deceased to bed the night after, without his making resistance. I believe there was a slight struggle between the prisoner and deceased before the fall. The fall was a hard one, and a few minutes after the prisoner was gone Baines called me to look at his shoulder, and he complained of being hurt. I felt the collar bone, and found that that was not broken; and I tried to make as light of it as I could, not thinking at the time that he received any serious injury. There was nothing the matter with the de ceased before the fall I have named. The morning after that fall the prisoner dressed him. The deceased com plained to Hill that his arm was very sore, and I think I then said the collar bone was not hurt. I saw Moncas ter, one of the other keepers, coming into the infirmary one morning, and deceased complained to him about his arm, and the prisoner then lifted up the arm, and it slidud down, as if powerless. Hill said there was no thing the matter with it, and I then lilted it up, and called the prisoner's attention to the hand, which I ob served was swollen. Ido not recollect Hill striking the deceased, but he dressed him every morning, from the Monday till the Friday, when Dr. Hill came. The witness was cross• examined at considerable length, and in the course of it the prisoner's solicitor elicited the fact, that he (witness) and two other pauper lunatics, ware in the habit of occasionally attending on the other inmates of the infirmary, and that on the evening of the encounter with the prisoner the deceased had irritated Attwood, ono of the patients, but no injury was done to the former. Witness and Attwood were in the habit of dressing the deceased and giving him his food , but he used to resist them, and then Hill, the prisoner, was obliged to be sent for. Was sure that Hill dressed the deceased on Christmas morning, for on that day Baines complained of having pains in his breast. Witness had been examined several times since the death of the deceased, but was not told by any person what he should say. In his re-examination the witness said the deceased had not complained of injuries of any kind until after the fall given to him by the prisoner, and that the prisoner dressed him every morning from that time until he had been examined by the doctor, on the morning of Friday, the 27th of December. At the conclusion of the witness's evidence, Mr. Nor ton remarked that he had never heard evidence given with, to his mind, and he was sure also to the minds of all who heard it, greater truth. Moncaster, a keeper in Mr. Armstrong's Asylum, was hero recalled, and in reply to the questions put to him, said the delusion under which the deceased laboured was, that sometimes he had one butt of beer,!and at other times two butts of beer in his inside. The prisoner was fully committed to take his trial at he ensuing session et thA Old Bailey. for manslaughter. THE UCKFIELD BURGLARY. -- TUNBRIDGE WELLS, JAN. 18.—The prisoners charged with being concerned in the burglary at Downland house, the residence of the Misses Farncombe, were again brought up this morning for :re-examination, at the Town-hull, Tunbridge Wells. The court was, as before, densely crowded. It will be recollected that in the former examination six prisoners had been identified as being concerned in the robbery, and having portions of the stolen property in their possession; and a female prisoner, named Eliza beth 011iver, who also had some trinkets and money, ' part of the proceeds of the robbery, was subsequently apprehended. To-day another prisoner, named William Brookes, who is said to be the captain of the gang, and to have given some important information to the police, was added to the number. The seven male pri soners were all handcuffed together, and were guarded by several police. The magistrates considering these precautions sufficient, their irons were re moved. They all exhibited the same reckless ness and indifference as in the previous exa mination. Hillyer, whose hand was injured by himself, and still remains bandaged up, looked extremely pale and attenuated, but his manner was as daring as before. As soon as all the prisoners were placed at the bar, the woman 011iver, who appeared very nervous and anxious in her manner, applied :to the magistrates for leave to state how she became possessed of the property, but the chairman, Mr. Deane, said that was not the time. On the bench were James Deane, Esq., W. Elers, Esq., John Price, Esq., and Alderman David Salomons. After conferring together, the bench directed that Brooke, the last prisoner apprehended, should be re moved. The feeling of the other members of the gang may be gathered from the fact, that when he was passing Hillyer gave him a desperate kick on the leg. Miss Susan Farncombe was sworn and examined. She said—l live at Downland-house, in the parish of tickfield. On the morning of Thursday, the 2d of January, about three o'clock, three men came into my room and demanded my money or my life. One remained at the door, and one came to the side of my bed, and another to the foot of my bed. I was alone. I gave him my purse, and, hearing my sister scream, I got out of bed and went to her. I think there was about four sovereigns and a half, and some silver, in my purse. It was a purple silk purse, with steel beads. When I came back I missed my watch. The men were masked—one of them wore a white one. I was too agitated to observe the colour of the others. I did not recognise any of the men. The men at first tried to prevent my leaving the room; but when I told them I was going to my sister they allowed me to pass. So far as that went they were very civil. I found two or three men in my sister Mary's room, and they made the same demand. She told them her watch and money were on the table. They took a box o:f the table con taining sovereigns and silver; I cannot tell how much. They also took a trinket-box. They said they would have money; they knew we had more money, and money they would have—that they wanted bread:and cheese to eat with it. One of them saw the key of a bureau in out the lock, and went to examine it. They too k 50/. eof two pocket books, in notes, from the Weal]: They The notes scattered the other papers about the r oom. were all of the Lewes Bank—ono 10/. note, and the rest Si. notes. Our attorney, unfortunately, did not ot ta o k n e e th c e f numbers when he got them fro m th e b them took my sister's gold watch, MY sister Mary had some very valuable thing s, but don't see any 0` them here. Miss Emily Farncombe was then sworn, and stated [PRICE SD. that on the morning in question two men entered her room. Three others followed immediately afterwards. My sister Charlotte slept with me. One man came to the foot of the bed and said, " Money we want, and money we will have." He repeated that twice. I said. I had got none. They were going to move the clothes at the toot of the bed, and I said, take my dressing case. There were three boxes on the table; he asked me which. I pointed it out to him and he demanded the keys. I gave them to him, and begged of him nut to destroy the case. Ho said he would not. Ho opened it and asked how much money was in it. I said 201, but I recol:ected there were 25/. in it. The money was in a small silk purse, four 5/. Lewes Bank notes and five sovereigns. They ransacked the drawers and threw everything about the room. There were only two men in the ienim wheu the purse was taken. They cpened trinket box and took a gold chain and seals, several valuable rings and brooches, and other trinkets. The men came in and went out occasionally. I cannot say whether there were five men or seven, but I saw five at once. They were all masked, and I was so frightened that I could not identify any:of them. The prisoners declined to ask any questions, The Chairman then addressed the prisoners, and again asked if any of them bad anything to say, cau tioning them that anything they might state would be used in evidence against them at their trial. The pri soners were then severally interrogated. James Smith answered, "I have nothing to say." Joseph Carter said he was not guilty. John Smith said he was innocent of what he had been brought there for. Thomas Morgan said he had bought the goods and paid the full value for them. William Hillyer said he knew nothing about it, which occasioned a burst of laughter in the court. James Hamilton had nothing to say; and Elizabeth 011iver said she had found the articles at the Leech pit pond, and the money found upon her (fifteen sovereigns) was her own. The six prisoners were then fully committed to Lewes Assiaes for the burglary and robbery, and the woman 011iver for receiving a portion of the stolen property. The Misses Farncombe were bound over in the sum of 401. each to prosecute, and were permitted to with draw from the court. They ;expressed great anxiety to get away early, as they had a journey of fifteen miles and a wild common to cross. The property hitherto foand is of very trifling value, the plate, valuable gold watches, diamond rings, &c., not having been discovered, although, calculating the time that had elapsed between the commission of the bur glary and the apprehension of the prisoners, the police are of opinion that it has not been sold, but lies con cealed in the neighbourhood. Miss Farncombe, while giving her evidence, after glancing over the articles lying before her on the table, exclaimed, " I don't see the forks or spoons." The family plate was old and curious, and was much prized on that account by its owners. The police of the dis trict have evinced much zeal and industry in tracing the prisoners, and if the information they are under stood to have obtained, and which it would be at present injudicious to refer to more explicity, can be re lied upon, much of the property may yet be recovered. That the whole of the gang are not yet in custody is in ferred from the circumstance of Mrs. Morton, the wife of the constable, overhearing a conversation between three of the prisoners in their cells, in which one of them expressed a hope that " they would send coun sel," and another replied that " they might do so at all events." After the termination of the above case the bench pro ceeded to investigate a case of burglary committed on the night of the 31st of December, only twenty-four hours previously to the Uckfield burglary, in which all the pri>oners except Carter were implicated. The offence was committed at Hartfield, in the White Hart public-house, of which Elizabeth Kennard is the land lady. The property is not of any great value, but por tions of it were traced to the possession of the prisoners. Another case, which is only yet in its preliminary stage, is the finding of several boxes of linen-drapery, &c., at a lonely cottage not far from Uckfield, in which the uncle and aunt of the prisoner Elizabeth 011iver reside. These persons are at present in custody, and the whole are likely to turn out members of the same gang, one portion plundering, and the other secreting and dispos ing of the booty. Their formidable and desperate cha racter may be easily judged of from the statement of the butler, although the question was not asked him before the magistrates, that after his room had been burst open some of them were heard debating outside his rooin-door whether they ought not to shoot him at once in order to prevent his makizg any resistance ur giving any alarm.

Last night (Sunday) the neighbourhood of High- Ntreet, Stoke Newington, was alarmed by the sudden outbreak of one of the most disastrous fires that have happened in that district for a considerable time past. Tne fire was first perceived by the police-constable on the beat, who in passing along appears to have noticed an unusual glare of light in the premises belong ing to Mr. Todman, a chandler, carrying on business at No. 7, in High-street. The officer having listened at the door, distinctly heard the snapping of burning wood. lie .sounded an alarm, and commenced knocking vio lently at the street-door. No one, however, appeared, and it was feared that the residents, if at home, had perished, for whilst the constable was knocking at the door flames in huge sheets shot forth from the various windows both at the rear and in the front. Messecgcrs wcie as quickly as possible dispatched to call the engines of the parish, and with all promptitude they attended, and were set to work from an abundant supply of water famished by the East London Company, By that time, however, the whole of the rooms in Mr. Todman's premises presented a blazing mass, and at length the flames broke through the roof, and threatened destruction to every house on that side of the street. The parish engine, police, and inhabitants laboured inces santly to confine the flames to the premises in which they originated, but without success, and in a compara tively short period the fire communicated to the premises numbered 6 and 5 in the same street, occupied by Mr. G. Parrott, a linendraper. A mounted police-officer was dispatched to Jeffrey-square brigade-station, and thence to the more distant det,dits. When the firemen from London arrived the flames had made tremendous progress, for besides enveloping the premises numbered 7,6, and 5, in High-street, they had likewise reached Nos. 4 and 8., The latter was in the tenure of Mrs. Underwood, a dressmaker; and the for mer belonged to the same person as the two houses num bered 5 and 6. By half-past eleven o'clock, lour hours after the commencement of the fire, the engines had succeeded in extinguishing the conflagration, but not until the following damage was done, which is officially reported by Mr. Superintendent Braidwood:— " No. 7, High-street—Mr. George Todman, chandler and general dealer. Premises burnt down, and stock in trade, with furniture, wearing apparel, and other effects, consumed. Cause of fire not known. " Nos. 5 and 6, Iligh-street—Mr. George Parrott, linen-draper. Premises all but destroyed. The stock in trade and furniture severely injured by fire, water, mud hasty removal. Insured for contents in the Phoenix Fire-office. The building unknown whether insured or not. "No. 4, High-street—Mr. George Parrott, ditto. The side walls severely burnt. The first and second fl mrs much injured by fire, water, and cutting away. The contents also damaged by fire, water, and hasty re moval. Stock in trade and furniture insured in the Phoenix- office. No. 8, High-street. Mrs. Underwood, dress maker. Side walls, floorings, and roof damaged by fire and water, and contents by hasty removal. Insurance not known at present." THE SEWER ACCIDENT AT ISLINGTON. Onpaturday afternoon we visited the scene of the ac cident which occurred in the Lower-road, Islington, on Friday last, and an account of which appeared in The Sun of Saturday. Mr. Johnson, the contractor for the sewer, was on the spot, and explained the method by which the New River had been confined to its old course, as well as the precautionary measures adopted by him, both of which have for the present succeeded. It must be premised that the New River tunnel crosses the Lower-road very obliquely, and that the sewer in course of construction runs straight down that street, so that although it only actually crosses under it at one point, near River-street, yet all the way down it is in considerable proximity, though at a lower level. This crossing, as was stated, was passed in safety, and the sewer had been coatinued beyond the King's Head public house, where Mr. Cox, the landlord, employed a brick layer to make a cross drain from his premises, who had carried it on about 26 feet, till it was probably under the bed of the New River tunnel. Water oozed in and f filled it. The necessity was then suggested to him t o completing its junction with the sewer, in order tot h e water escape. Application was made at the conrinrailiec,gtor'osf office, and refused. It appears that on them n oiv o ledge of the accident the bricklayer, without the n thehki s sewer, drained ln either Mr. Cox or the men employed f o i l commenc to o. lly only a brick who were not working in that part work inwards from the sewer r to ob J doing so he tapped the invert NewP 1 ,,.. been already described. River tunnel, and thick) of the bottom of the :Possible, made a barrier above of upright and horLontal the accident occurred, Mr. Johnson, as soon!' . the first shaft, filled between with play, and planks, driven down ' Riaver-streetandthen also sunk a shaft in therthe lower ' barrier, in case ‘ one should give way. is, therefore, confined to its old course. lie consisntding The river . t h e barrier there is of couras still a communication low be weep the sewer and the New River, and this state of things must remain till the bed of the tunnel can be repaired. sVe understand that it is the intention of the New River Company to an sink i Iron cylinder, so as to stretch across the broken part of the brick bottom. This will prevent the water having access to the sewer, and all the damage can be then repaired. Some men were employed yesterday afternoon in driving additional " shorings" of plank between the sewer and the New River to prevent further breakage, as it will readily be understood that as long as the communication exists the soil between will crumble away if not propped up, although the barriers placed across the sower will prevent further mischief at any point above them. An inquest is to be held on tho body of the sufferer which was found st/L<ndon-bridge, when, no doubt, th• whole case will be fully investigated. The poor man, we bEdieve, has left a wife and large family to deplore his lo.s. The other has net yet been recovered. ATROCIOUS MURDER. Early on Thursday night last a dreadful murder was committed at a farmhouse in the lone district of Hat tersley, on the borders of Lancashire and Nortb. Cheshire. The dwelling in which the murder was per petrated is known by the name of Rose Fold, and was occupied by Mrs. Mary Kinder, an infirm old lady nearly 80 years of age, her two daughters, both un married, and a male and female servant. The particu lars of this frightf u l d ee d, as f ar as they have a l rea dy been discovered, ar e as f o ll ow: —O n the Thursday even ing the daughters of Mrs. Kinder and the man-servant were from hom e on b us i ness. Soon after six o ' cloc k the maid -servant went into the " shippon," a short dis tance from the house, to milk the cows, and shortly afterwards returned to the house for the dairy key, but did not then see her mi stress. S he went b ack to the shipper]," strained the milk, and, after being absent about half an hour, returned to the house. Again not seeing her mistress, she pro cee d e d to look for her, an d to her great h , rror discovered Mrs. Kinder lying un the nfirlour floor quite deed and bathed in a pool of blood. The young woman instantly . gave an a l arm, and a surgeon from Mottram-m-Longdendale (Mr. John side. bottom), was sent for. On examination he found that a large wound had been inflicted on the temple— the skull having been fractured, and a portion of the same :led the brains :Tattered about. Death must, therefore, have been instantaneous. An inquest on the body is to be held this (Monday) morning, when it is to be hoped that some clue to the discovery of the mur derers will be discovered . The Special high constable of the district (Mr. Little), an active officer, has been employed in investigating the circumstances of the case, and will continue to give his earnest attention to it till the guilty party or parties are brought to justice. Mrs. Kinder was in a respectable condition of life; and there is no doubt that the object of the brutal murderers must have been the robbery and plunder of the hone!). Probably the activity of the servant woman engaged in the " shippon" and dairy, and who so quickly returned to the house, may have alarmed and driven them from the premises. Most o f th e d rawers an d boxes in the rooms were forced open and ransacked, but a small bandbox, in which the sum of 141. 10s. was deposited, escaped their notice, so that their booty was very small. Hattersley lies in the hilly district near the borough of Stockport, and ,is situated on the confines of North Cheshire, Lancashire, and Derbyshire. This dreadful affair has caused great consternation throughout the neighbourhood. REPEAL OF THE WINDOW-TAX. (From the Morning Advertiser.) The Times of Friday comes oat, with all its accustomed pomp of circumstance, with the announce ment, that the window-tax is doomed, and that the Chancellor of the Exchequer has graciously con descended to resolve that it shall be abolished forth with. The Times makes this announcement with as much fuss and parade as if it had been communicating to the country some important piece of intelligence which would be quite new. The intelligence may, indeed, be new to the readers of that journal. They may never have before dreamt of the probability of such a contingency ; but the Times has no right to assume that, because its readers are unenlightened on a particular point, it necessarily follows that the rest of the public are equally in the dark. What was news yesterday to the readers of our contemporary, is no news to the readers of the Morning Advertiser. It is now more than a month since we apprised the public, iu the most positive terms, and in the most prominent part of our paper, that the window-tax would be repealed in the coming session. In a fortnight afterwards, we repeated the announcement; and again, in the Morning Adrerliser of Saturday last, the 11th we not only reiterated the assertion, that we knew, from undoubted sources of information, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had made up his mind to abolish the window duties, but that he had also determined to substitute another impost in lieu of the window-tax. That there may be no misconcep tion as to what we said eight days ago, and seven days before the Times had a word on the subject, we re-produce, from the Morning Advertiser of Satur day last, the paragraph to which we allude. It is as follows " THE WINDOW-TAX.—We have every reason to be lieve that the Chancellor of the Exchequer, instead of contemplating the total repeal of the window-tax— which he did a few weeks ago—means to content himself with what he calls a modification' of the duties on the light of heaven. In other words, he contemplates only a reduction, not the entire remission of the obnoxious im post. But while this is the course he wishes to adopt, another idea has within the last fortnight taken posses sion of the Right Hon. Gentleman's brain. It is, that in the event of his being compelled, by the pressure from without, nominally to repeal the tax, he will still be able, in effect, to retain a portion of it, by levying some new sort of tax on houses, which, from the description given of it to us, is wholly incomprehensible. But though it cannot be understood, it will, if imposed, be felt. To be forewarned is to be forearmed. Will the country, after being thus early spprised of Sir Charles Wood's intentions, permit him to carry them out? Assuredly not. There must be no fiscal legerdemain in the matter. There must be an entire repeal, without a substitute of any kind." It will be observed, that we not only here inti mated the fact, that Sir Charles Wood had determined on the substitution of another tax for the window duties, but we even indicated the nature of the im post to be substituted. We said that it would be a house tax, of some sort or other, though we confessed our inability to comprehend its precise nature. Hear, now, what the Times says on the subject in its num ber of yesterday : " The numerous difficulties in the way of a mere com mutation will lead, wo believe, to the surrender of the window-tax, and the substitution of a very moderate house-tax. There is reason to hope that the Chancellor of the Exchequer will have so considerable a surplus at the end of the financial year, that he can easily afford a million or twelve hundred thousand for this long desired object. By the substitution of a house-tax, cal culated to raise about 600,0001., for the window-tax, raising about 1,800,0001., the sacrifice of revenue will not exceed 1,200,0001." But though the Times thus confirms to the letter the information which we communicated exclusively eight days ago, our contemporary does not conde scend to enlighten our darkness as to how the new house•tax is to be imposed, or how it will operate. The Times may have a good reason for its silence. Very likely it is in the same predicament as ourselves —does not exactly comprehend the nature of the con templated new tax. But be the nature of the intended impost, as a sub stitute for the window-tax, what it may—were not we right when, eight days ago, we cautioned the country against permitting the Chancellor of the Exchequer to practise any fiscal legerdemain, by substituting some other impost for that which he is about to remove ? We must have no other tax in lieu of the window duties. If the Right Hon. Gen tleman supposes that the nation will passively submit to that he deceives himself. There must be an en tire riddance of the burthen. Every trace of the most obnoxious impost which an oppressively taxed people ever had to endure must be obliterated. We want the remembrance of it to perish. Even the Times, who never saw its enormities before, now discovers that it is the most iniquitous tax which human ingenuity ever devised. It would have been all the better for our contemporary had this discovery been made shosnewhat sooner. The Times prophesies after the event. It had no eye to the odiousness of the window-tax until its doom was recorded. During the long period that we have, week after week, and day after day, been denouncing the window duties, and calling loudly for their re mission, the Times never uttered a syllable. It never whispered a word against th em . The readers of the Times would not have known —not, at least, from its columns, that there was such a tax in existence. And yet, so consummate is the effrontery of our contem porary, that it would not surprise us were he to came coolly forward, by and by, and ake all the credit of h w a e vi d n i g d i a t cpieved the extinction s of the tax.

The voice of such a pariah as Marylebone must be heard in Downing-street.
