By adopting the above head, we would not on• any account be thought to imply anything more than that whilst the currency laws are of infinite importance to the whole nation, they are peculiarly so to that great portion of the community whose energies are de voted to agriculture, and who, from the change ok times and circumstances, are labouring without profit, and are anxiously looking forward . almost without hope. To the w rongs an d sufferings of that class of our fellow -countrymen, the close attention of the Ministers Of the Crown, and of every Member of the Legislature, is immediately due; and it is with a hope that we may assist to rouse the farmers to peti tion, and the representatives of the people to deep con sideration and manly activity on th e approaching meeting of Parliament, that we are induced again to dwell upon the subject, and to press this great and important national question. It was our intention to have accompanied with a comment, the report which we, last week, gave of the excellent address of the Rev. John Twells, the respected vicar of Eaton, to the York Farmers' Club, and others intersted in agriculture, but our limits did not allow us. Mr. Twells resides in an agricultural district; and having long witnessed the severe pri • vations, and undeserved sufferings of the farmers, he t. as, with a noble and generous feeling, given to the currency laws the most anxious attention—the result of which is, a full and unchangeable conviction, as a man, an Englishman, and a clergyman, that, net the farmer alone, hut the moral, social, and religious con dition of the great mass of the people, is involvt d in the question. To some, however, it may appear an. intricate question ; and many may yet say, as others have said—" How can the currency so seriously affect the agriculture, trade, and commerce of the country ? Or, if an increase of the circulating mei dium does really cause an advance in the markets, tn,w can that advance benefit the community 1 , " We will reply to those very natural queriens, and endeavour to simplify the case as 'mica a. possible. In earlier times, all payments were made by the farmers in kind ; but, in the progress of nations, money has become the representative of other property, and the only legal tender in the payment of debts. It is the duty of the Government to provide sufficient money for the purposes of trade, and to take care that the supply shall be equal to the demand (:f an increas ing population The preseLt laws, which unwisely restrict the paper issue of the Bank of England, and render gold the only legal tender, subject the money 12,arket to many and serious fluctuations, both from :he occasional scarcity of gold, and from the uncer tainty of the Bank recalling its accommodation. to the public. Now the way in which it operates upon he farmer is this :—When the ameunt of the ; circa !sting medium is reduced below the rsquireneints of the public, the decrease in the supply ins reases the re lative value of the money, and coussqueutly more goods are demanded for that money than befbre, which is a reduction in the price of each article. The farmer's rent, tithes, taxes, &c.. are fixed, and he ieust pay them in full. Consequently the fluctua tions of the currency, which reduce the prices of his produce, prevent him from having fair play, and he becomes a ruined, though an industrious and honest man. He is the victim of a twofold operation of the currency laws—the money paid to the landlord, for rent, is of increased value, when the tenant farmer's corn is reduced in price. __, 4,11v.5. 11 the 9 Ire' v ................_, i1ic 121,1y2...____.1.

Yesterday the delegates selected by the various parishes in London, in which meetings have been held for the purpose of promoting the repeal of the window-tax, assembled at the 3larylebone Court-house, previous to waiting. according to appointment, as a deputation, on the Chancellor of the Ex chequer. Mr. J. A. Nicholay, the chairman of the committee, presided. Mr. J. WILLIAMS, M P., said he hoped that in their in terview with the Chancellor they would not digress into other matter, and that they would not propose any other tax as a substitute, but would insist on an unconditional repeal.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. WYLSE M.P., said he understoOd it was to be commu nicated to the Chancellor that if this tax were not repealed they should stop the supplies.—(Hear, hear.) Some preliminaries were then arranged, after which the members of the deputation got into cabs and other vehicles, which were waiting to convey them to their destination. There were altogether fitty or sixty vehicles, and on the outside of many of them large placards had been affixed, bearing the inscription—" Unconditional Repeal of the Window Tax." The processim, which reached from Regent circus to Marylebone-lane, then slowly wended its way down Oxford. street, Regent-street, and Whitehall, to Downing street, where the deputation was reinforced by the addition of another body of delegates from Lambeth. The Chancellor of the Exchequer being engaged with another deputation on another subject, the delegates were shown into the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury, where Sir Charles Wood joined them shortly after their arrival. Alto gether the deputation consisted of more titan two hundred persons, who inconveniently crowded the very large room into which they were shown, and as they coula not all obtain a view of the speakers, some of them stood upon chairs. Besides the delegates there were also present Lord Duncan, M.P,; Sir B Hall, M.P. • Mr. J - . S. Duncombe, M.P.; Mr. ' Wakley, M. P. • Mr. WA, M.P. ; Sir. William Moleswerth, M.P. ; Mr. W. Williams, M.P.; and 31r.1. WillflCms, M.P. Lord DuscaN, addressing the Chancellor of the Exche quer, said he had been requested to introduce one of the most nunierous, and he believed one of the most respectable deuuta - ions that had ever waited upon any Chancellor of the Exchequer; and the reason why he had been selected to in troduce them was that it had generally fallen to his lot to bring forward in the House of Commons the motion for the repeal of the wind , w-tax. He believed that the gentlemen in that room had, many of them, been elected as delegates, and that they represented a wide-spread feeling against UN window-tax. He believed that that feeling was not con fined to the metropolis alone : he believed that it pervaded other districts. He would not take up the time of the Right Hon. Baronet by now entering at length into the argu ments for the repeal of this tax. He had often brought for ward this subject in the House of Commons, and he had given notice of bringing it forward again on the 15th instant. He should therefore not go into the arguments now ; he did not consider it necessary. It had given him and others the greatest satisfaction to see that Government had reduced tax ation, and to the liberal policy they were pursuing he believed the excellent state of the finances was in a great measure to bs attributed. It had given them the greatest pleasure to find that the abolition of the duty on bricks and the reduction of the duty on stamps last session, had not that effect in diminishing the revenue whien might have been expected ; and they did not think that the G , vernment could apply the surplus better than in repealing the window-tax, which would relieve almost all classes of the community. He did not know whether the Right Hon. Baronet had directed his attention to the Crystal Palace, but he was quite certain that if it were assessed to the window-tax, the amount charged in respect of it would be enormous.— (Laughter.) He saw a proposition in the newspapers that very day to cover the Royal Exchange with glass. They might rely upon it if that was put in operation while the window-tax existed, it would be found to be rather more expensive than had been calculated upon. He was really much encouraged by the manner in which the Right Hon. Baronet met his motion last year fcr the repeal of this tax. He believed it was the unanimous opinion of them all, that no sanitary measure could pos sibly have any effect till this odious tax was taken off.— (Hear, hear.) It would give them the greatest satisfaction to find that the Government, of which he was an old sup porter, had determined to take off this tax, and that the Right Hon. Baronet should be the Chancellor of the Exche quer who should have the honour of relieving the country of a tax which was laid on in barbarous times, and which ought no longer to be continued. The Noble Lord concluded by placing in the hands of the Right Hon. Baronet a list of the speakers who it had been agreed upon were to address him Secoud Edition, price One lIAS Dr. WISENIAN VIOLATED the LAW By EDWARD JAMES, Esq., M.A., of Lincoln's Inn, Ban rioter-at-Lang. Second Edition. NEW ART OF SILVERING GLASS. Of all the fabrics that now contend for the palm of beauty , in art manufacture, glass is at once the mot elegant and the most superb. Coloured or gilt, our modern works in this pure and fragile material begin to excite just admira tion, owing especially to the almost perfect quality of British glass. This circumstance has enabled our glass stainers, with their improved artistical taste and chemical skill, to compete with and distance completely the antique productions in stained glass, some of which have long re mained the wonders of art, from their imperishable quality of colour and quaint expression of character and design. In common coloured ornaments, formed of glass pervaded by colour, the Bohemians have long eclipsed the world ; and we had till lately no expectation of being able to compete with them in any department of ornamental glass manu facture, although their material, as stated in the " Revue Polytechnique," is understood to hide its imperfections under the cloak of the colour interfused. A recent inven tion by Mr. Hale Thomson will henceforth place the Bri tish manufacturer far ahead of all such competition in the production of ornamental glass. It consists in coating the inner or reverse surface with pure silver. To this process it is that we owe the gorgeous orbs that begin to appear in London and Edinburgh drawing rooms as pendants to the gaselier. The exhibition of the varied results and applica tions of this novelty in art is, however, still comparatively , unknown, being almost limited in London to the private friends Of the patentees, and in Edinbiirgh only displayed at one establishment in Princess-street (Mr. Millar's). The extraordinary reflective power of the surface, and its capa city to throw back rays without more cleaning or polish ing than might be required by a window-pane or common tumbler, render the process specially applicable for the re flectors used in railway signal lamps ant in light-houses. t is contemplated even to employ it in the construction of astronomical instruments; and not only so, but already have its extraordinary powers in the multiplication and reflexi !T1 of light been rendered available in surgery as an important auxiliary in conducting the most difficult operations. The dull amalgam applied to ordinary looking-glasses, and which derives nearly all its lustre from the glass, the back being opaque, and devoid of radiance, can bear no comparison with this silvering, which is effectually beyond the reach or possibility of being tarnished or impel , ed, ex cept by the destruction of the object into whose superfices it is interfused. A sparkling warmth emanates from the metalic radiance, contrasted with which the Bohemian glass is merely pretty or tinselly. The gorgeous glow of the antique Venetian glass, the secret of which is now a lost art, seems here restored; but even the Venetian absorbed the light, and before its exquisite beauties could be descried, had to be held up; whereas the English silvered glass flashes back the light, and at night, when surrounding objects are obscured in partial gloom, is then most radiant and con spicuous. Professor Donaldson, in a recent address to the Royal Architectural So-iety, in advocating the use of this gorgeous material in shop fronts—which would give us, in deed, crystal commercial palaces, and eclipse in London the boast of Augustus at Rome, of having found it built of brick and left it of marble—pointed out that, independently of the silvering, many of the tints produced are entirely new, and such as no combination of prismatic hues had hitherto dis closed to the m , st experienced colourist. The nomenclature of art has, in fact, at present no vocabulary expressive of these novel results. But purples, sapphires, pinks, vermil lions, pearls, bronzes, and every chromatic hue from bright est steel to deepest gold, are thrown up in this new argentine reflection. Another characteristic never, according to the German prints, attempted since the discovery of glass itself by Hermes the Syrian, distinguishes this manufacture—that is, embossing. The thing, it is true, is an optical delusion. To the touch, the apparently raised or sunken surface, dead or frosted, cut or burnished, does not exist. But the eye, nevertheless, beholds such results. Crystal silver cups, goblets lined with burnished gold, epergnes, candelabra, wine-coolers, salts, tazzas, ink-stands, ewers, sugar-boxes, and all sorts of ornaments, are the ob jects to which we have seen this invention applied. Candle sticks it seems impossible to distinguish from actual silver; ' and looking-glasses, with frames made in the same piece, are warmly praised by the Liv rpool press, where it has been stated that frame and glass together, composed of embossed and variegated glass, have also been prepared expressly for the residences of certain eminent London artists, from designs furnished by themselves; and are perhaps a greater source of astonishment than any of the smaller achievements in chimney, toilet, or table ornaments. But the mirror globes which we have already mentioned are in their exquisite sim plicity the gems of the whole collection. Of all sizes, of all colours; from two to thirty inches in diameter; from the capacity of half a pint to that of forty gallons, these magni ficent mirror balls, placed on the shoulders of an Atlas, or under the talons of an eagle of bronze, are at once the type and glory of this exquisite art.— Chambers's Journal. -------__LvrEl" DAlrt ------ 2------- 1 ----------- 81:7NDAT8. !!: 1 1 . - - Or I 4 ' ee t 1 hi e"- Gra i 'WIT- T ime . ........., the, [ par - Green- G ,,„,,.

Rh Of TO be LET, with immediate possession, a most desirable SHOP, in Great Scotland-yard. It is well situated, in the great thoroughfare leading from Whitehall to Northumberland-street, and is well adapted for any large business. The late Mr. Holroyd, who rented the premises, carried on there, as a plumber, one of the Borst trades in London. 04 :th Mr. ROGERS, of St. Giles's, urged the cruelty of this tax on the poor, instancing one house in Fletcher's-court, in which, to save the tax, windows were closed, and five out of six of one family living in the house died of cholera. The tax was wicked, because it interfered with the right of every one to enjoy freely the blessings of light and air. Mr. Ro gers then spoke of the inequality of the tax, and expressed his conviction that nothing short of its unconditional repeal would satisfy the people. After a few words from Mr. TAYLOR,, who reOesented St. Andrew's, Holborn, there were loud cries for Mr. Dun combe. For further particulars, and to view the premises, apply to Messrs.

If he received any instructions from his constituents to do so, he should act on his own judgment, and he was sure his Right Hon.

EXAMPLES OF BONUSES ALREADY DECLARED. Mr. VARLET, M.P., said he hoped the Chancellor of the Exchequer would clearly understand what the feeling was out of doors by the feeling manifested in this room, and he would also see what had been the condition of those unfortu nate Members who were prevented by indisposition from attending in their places in the House of Commons last session, and voting for the repeal of this tax. He could tell the Right Hon. Baronet this—that if this tax was not re pealed the metropolitan Members must be repealed.— (A I nigh.) His Hon. Colleague unfortunately laboured under indisposition which prevented him from attending the meet ings. He (Mr. Wakley) had had the good fortune to at tend some of them, and had received a good dressing—(A laugh)—ant he could assure him that in reference to this tax, it was not admitted at all that a man had a right to be ill. His Hon. Colleague said he had received no instruc tions to stop the supplies. He (Mr. Wakley) had received those instructions unequivecally, and he was bound to state, not in the shape of a threat, but as a conscientious duty, that he should act up to those instructions when the time arrived. He looked upon this tax as of so foul a cha racter, that he considered it a duty, if the Chancellor of the Exchequer was determined to have this tax, to do what he could to prevent him having any other.—(Cheers, and cries for Mr. Wyld and Sir Benjamin Hall ) The CllartcELLortof the EXCHEQUER here rose, and with some difficulty obtained a hearing, the cries for Mr. Wyld being so loud and so general. When silence was in some degree restored, he said the Cabinet was sitting, and it was requisite that he should attend it. He had listened, he hoped, with great attention to the gentlemen who repre sented the metropolitan districts, but he thought that it was really occupying time unnecessarily to hear the Mem bers, as they could express their sentiments in the House of Commons.

A P co° Extensive Travelling Leave granted without extra Premium ' Moderate extra Premium for Residence in Tropical Climates. EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0n0/. (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Vict., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office ar3 —Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on 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. I true rate of Prem‘urn for Fire Insurance can only be ap ?roached 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 e, 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 investigalon 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.

A system of national paper money would then follow, secured upon the wh o l e p roperty o f t h e , ->mpire, and declared legal tender, but not to exceed the annual amount of taxation.

Sir B. HALL, M.P., said until his name was called he had no intention to speak, and he would suggest to the deputation that as they had now said all that could be said on the subject the greatest satisfaction would follow if his Right Hon. Friend would be kind enough to give them some intimation of the course he intended to take. if he could con sistently do so,—(Renewed cries of "Mr. Wyld.") Mr. WYLD, M.P.. remarked that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had assumed this to be merely a metropo litan movement; but it was a movement which had ex tended over the whole of the country, and in the borough which he represented this tax was felt to be most op pressive. There was at this moment an organization going on which, if this tax were not repealed, would cause great inconvenience to Government, and impede its opera tions.—(Cries of " Molesworth.") Sir W. MOLESWORTH was understood to say he would rather not take up time by going into the matter now. His constituents were extremely anxious for the repeal of the tax and if the Chancellor of the Exchequer could repeal it he should vote for its repeal. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, of course it was perfectly impossible for him then to state the course he should take, it would be highly inconvenient for him to give the slightest intimation of what he intended to do. It was a subject that had been brought before him in various ways. Mr. Nicholay, the chairman of the commit tee, had been in communication with him, and, of course, his most serious attention had been directed to the su' ject. It was not for him to say any more.—(A voice : Oh," and cries of "Order.") If his friend there was impatient, he must remember that it was perfectly inconsistent with the duty of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to give the slight est intimation beforehand of the course he intended to take. Re had given notice this wsek of making what was called the financial statement at an earlier day than had ever been known. He should make it to-morrow week, and therefore any impatience there might he would not have to be long tried. His determination would then be known. The gen tleman opposite him (Mr. Nelson) had made a very eloquent speech to-day, and had put i nto his (Sir C. Wood's) mouth words which he could only say he did not remember to have used. lie was glad to see so large a deputation, and he had now only to express his thanks tOr the tone and temper in which the business had been conducted. The deputation then withdrew. Admission, —Schools, flail-price. Open daily Prom Eleven till Five o'clock, and every Evening (ex cept ;:attirclav) from Seven till Half•past Ten . A1)0L LONICO N.

ROYAL MUSIC HALL, ADELAIDE STREET, STRAND. (Adjoining the Lowther Arcade.) _ . - This sort of money would never be drawn away by foreigners, it would never be hoarded up by misers and hence, there would be a steady and never-failing supply. The result of such an increase of the circu lating medium, would be a decrease in its value, and a consequent increase of prices in the markets. The fixed rent of the landlord—the fixed amount of taxes, Scc.—would thus be fairly met. The tenant farmer would be able to sell his corn at remunerating prices, and to pay his rent regularly, and provide for his family respectably. In short, the benefit would be general. Agriculture, trade, rnanufac!ures, and foreign commerce, would all alike participate in the national change. And the most powerful recom mendation of this plan is, that it would benefit all, without injuring any. We have details before us of instances without number, in which the restriction of the currt ncy hsa produced national calamity, and in which en eaten ion of the currency, by a plentiful paper issue, has revived the trade,And improved the gssrersl interests of the whole nation. Many of those we have given, in former papers ; and others are read), should any one doubt the correctness of our calculations. Our present obrervations, however, must now be drawn to a conclusion ; but not before we have again urged our agricultural frieLds to unite in petitioning Par liament fur the total repeal of !he present currency laws, and for the adoption of a more extended and enlightened system of legislation, on the monetary arrangements of the country. The suiject is also well worth 3 of the close consideration of every Mem ber of the British Parliament, ere they again as semble. The advocate of tree trade will find it serve his purpose fully ; and the sincere and earnest Protec iionist will do well for the farmer, if he will join in the demand fur an extended currency, as a first step rower& the restoration to comfort and prosperity of the agricultural portion of our increasing population.

They did not complain of it, however.only as a matter of pounds, shillings, and pence, but because it was the parent of disease and engendered crime. Mr. Green then quoted t passages from the report of the Board of Health to the effect no sanitary measure can be tolerably complete while the window-tax is in existence; and that a tax on light and air is more vicious in principle than a tax on food. Hitherto, Mr. Green proceeded to say, the complaints of the people against this tax had been met by Government saying they had no surplus. He was deputed now to tell the Chancellor of the Exchequer that he had a surplus of more than three millions, and his constituents expected an unconditional re peal of the window-tax. They claimed it because there had been no faith kept with the people. It was a war tax, and was to have been taken off in the time of peace. But not only had it not been taken off. but the Chancellor of the Ex chequei, beiog Made of squeezeable maOrials, had increased it 10 per cent.— (Cties of "Shame" and "Order.") Lord Althorp took off the house tax, and promised that if addi tional windows were opened in houses, there :hould be no ad ditional tax in consequence. Many windows were thrown open, and then Sir Francis Baring had a re-assessment made, and parties were made liable for the additional windows. The principle of the tax had been condemned by all parties.— (Cries of" Time.") Well, they were there to call upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer to do his duty, having the means in his power to do it, and therefore be should conclude by saying that it was the determination of those who sent him there not to cease agitating till they got a total and un conditional repeal of the window tax.— (Hear, and Bravo.) Mr. W. WILLIAMS—If you will promise to repeal this tax, you will save yourself the hearing of sOO speeches. Mr. J. WILLIAMS—ShaII we make that a condition and say no more about it?—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) The CHANCELLOR of the ExcHeeeuita.—You knew per fectly well that if I intended to do so I could not say it. I hope the gentlemen will be as brief as they can, as I ought to be in the Cabinet at this moment, and there is really no thing to be said upon it that has not been already said by Lord Duncan in the House of Commons. Mr. GLEESON, who was deputed from St. James's, dwelt on the inequality of the tax, saying that houses inhabited by the poor paid window-tax to the amount of 26 per cent. on the rental, while the houses of the nobility paid only 1% per cent. The windows of many houses inhabited by the poor were blocked up, and in St. James's, which was an aristo cratic parish, they were actually in fear of fever from this cause. Much sickness was caused by it among the poor, and the families were in consequence thrown on the parish, which was thereby put to much additional expense. There are 3,500,00 houses in the country, and only 4t0,000 pay this tax, and the exemptions were in the country, where they breathed the pure air. Then it should be remembered that the removal of the tax would cause much employment to be given in the making of additional windows. Mr. NICHoLAY, the chairman of the delegates, remarked that Government had stated times out of number that the tax was indefensible in principle, and the people considered that the time bad now arrived when they ought, in fairness and justice to be relieved of it. This movement, which origi nated in elarylebone ' had spread like wild-fire through the metropolis. He had attended large and influential meetings upon it, and if the Right Honourable Baronet had been pre sent he would have been, not only perfectly astonished, but astounded. In fact, the only diffi cu l ty t h ey h a d h a d was in haying it all their own way.--(A la ug h . ) Mr. FRASER, churchwarden of St. Pancras, urged the im portance, in a sanitary point of view, of abolishing the tax. He was glad to admit that the present Government had condi tion of the people, but as long as th e w i ndow-tax rema i ne d improving the sanitary shown themselves desirous of unrepealed, he should doubt their sincerity. As an instance of the oppressive and injurious operation of the tax, he stated that not far from his own residence a Society for Improving the Dwellings of the Poor had a building which contained 108 rooms. which were let in suites to different parties at rents varying from 3s. 6d. to es. 6d., and the window-tax amounted to eld. per week per suite of rooms, so that out of a rent of 3s. 6d., sevoipence-farthinghad to go for window tax.—(Hear, bear.) Ile knew houses, the rent of which was 1001. a year, in which, in order to keep down the num ber of windows, the water-closet, which ought to be the best ventilated room in the house, had no window, but had a bor rowed light. Mr. WHITMORE, also a medical practitioner, followed, corroborating Mr. Fraser's statements as to the injurious effect on health of' shutting out the light. It was well known that an imperfect organization of animal life was the consequence of the want of solar light. Shortly alter the completion of the fortifications at Lisle, a number of poor people took up their abodes in them. There was scarcely any light, and the result was there were s o many c hild ren of stunted growth in the families who lived there, that the authorities were compelled to cause them to leave their dwellings. Mr. FREEnt, one of the Marylebone delegates, spo k e o f the great unpopularity of the tax in Marylebene, which he was enabled to do from p ersonal know ledge, being the re ceiver of the ground - rents of an esta te , which comprised aneighth of housepart of fth prepopareisrhty% and being hi mself a consider able owner At a me et i ng at which he was present a resolution was carried th at if the tax were not repealed their Member s be instru cted to stop the sup plies.—( Loud cheers.) Th at resolution was coupled with the another, French that say, ay th , e He assured the Chancellor o f the E xchequer that if he imagined that, after this inte rview wit h him they should return to their homes and let t he matter rest, he was much mistaken. en p m er m m i a tt nen ee of ee tMilla the tax w as repealed.rYlebon e s h ou ld s i t, as Mr. JAM NELSON (from St. James's) said they had come there to state that they would no longer submit to this tax. It was an unjust tax, seeing that of the 1,800,0001 which was raised by it only 300,0001. was paid by the aris tocracy, and that out of 3} millions of houses only 480,000 were taxed. And it was a wicked tax, because it shut out light and air. They had come there also to state that they would not submit to a commutation of this tax. They would have it scratched out of the statute-book. Talk to them of a commutation, while the slave squadron was con tinued ! Talk to them of a commutation ! He did not be lieve it. The Sanitary Association waited upon the Chan cellor of the Exchequer last year with an absurd proposi tion, to commute this tax into a house-tax, and what was his reply? " Go away: I believe you cannot deal with it in that way. I have had numbers of propositions, but the most impracticable of all is a house-tax." He (Mr. Nelson) did not believe that Government would attempt to commute this odious tax into a house-tax. They called upon Go vernment to remcve this tax, because, among other reasons, they believed that by so doing they would loosen the springs of industry and give great employment to building operatives; and because, distinguished as the metropolis was for its wealth and extent, it would in a few years be distin guished for its architectural beauty also, if they removed this tax. Mr. GEORGE, churchwarden of St. Ann's, said he repre sented a large parish in Westminster, in which this tax bore on them with great inequality. There were twenty-one houses in St. Ann's-court, each rated in that parish at 221. a year, and fourteen houses in sol 2 o l cluarei each rated at 11V., WOOLWICH, FEB. 6.—A portion of the Royal Horse Ar tillery and the field batteries, and also of each of the twelve battalions, assembled at halt-past eight o'clock yesterday morning, on the Guard Mounting-parade, to hear the sen tence ca a general court-martial read, of which the following are the particulars:— Field-Marshal the Commander-in-Chief having had the honour to lay before her Majesty the Queen the proceedings of the general court-martial holden at Woolwich Barracks on the 30th of October last, and re-assembled on the 27th of November followiug, for the trial of recruit gunner and driver William Jones, 7th battalion Royal Artillery, who was arraigned upon the undermentioned charges, viz.:- 1. For habitual drunkenness in having been drunk four times within twelve months, viz. :—Oct. 3, 1849, at Wool wich; Feb. 24, 18',0, at Woolwich; June 21, 1850, at Wool wich; and Sept. 15, 1850, at Woolwich. 2. For disgraceful conduct on the said 15th of September, 1850, at Woolwich, in having then and there bit off part of the ear of gunner and driver Thomas Ward Kelly, 7th bat talion Royal Artillery. 3. For having on the day and year last aforesaid, at Woolwich, the❑ and there struck and ffered violence against Sergeant Adam Clark, 7th battalion Royal Artillery, by striking him with his fist, and for having then and there spat in the face of Sergeant John Clark, his superior officers, being then and there in the execution of their office. 4. For conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline on the day and year last aforesaid, at Woolwich, in having then and there resisted the escort which was mak ing him a prisoner, and in having then and there torn the great coat of gunner and driver Michael Donlan ; 4th bat talion Royal Artillery, and in having then and there broken a pillar of the guard bed. Upon which charges the Court came to the following de cision : _ . ----- • The Court having maturely considered the evidence in support of the prosecution, together with what the prisoner has urged in his defence, is of opinion, with regard to the first charge, that he, the prisoner. recruit gunner and driver William Jones, of Captain and Adjutant the Honourable G. T. Devereux's detachment, 7th battalion Royal Artillery, is Guilty. With regard to the second charge, that the prisoner is Guilty. With regard to the third charge, that the prisoner is Guilty. With regard to the fourth charge, that the prisoner is Guilty. The Court having found the prisoner guilty of all the charges preferred against him, which being in breach of the articles of war, and taking into consideration his general bad character, do now sentence him, the prisoner, recruit gunner and driver William Jones, of Captain and Adjutant the Hon. G. T. Devereux's detachment, 7th battalion Royal Artillery, to be deprived of one penny a day of his daily pay for the period of two years, agreeably to the 82d clause of the Mutiny Act ; also to the forfeiture of all additional pay whilst serving ; and the Court do further sentence him, the prisoner, to be transported as a felon for seven years. Her Majesty was pleased to approve and confirm the find ing and sentence of the Court, and to command that the pri soner be transported accordingly beyond the sea, to such place as her Majesty, by the advice of her Privy Council, shall think fit to nominate and appoint. The Master-General directs that the above be read to the Regiment of Artillery at three parades. (Signed) H. D. Ross, Dep. Adjutant-General. Immediately after the parade yesterday morning the pri soner, William Jones, was marched by an escort, consisting of ote non-commissioned officer and two gunners and drivers, to the Millbank Penitentiary, where he would be banded over to the authorities there, to have his sentence of trans portation beyond the seas carried into effect. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Polasmount, TiltfILSDAY.—The Arrogant, 46, Captain Robinson, rebent sails to-day, and remains ready for sea.

Captain Jervis, R.N., Super intendent of the Convicts at Bermuda, in a letter just re ceived, says this preparation "answers admirably, both on the Governor's boat, which is of wood, and on the copper with which mine is sheathed, and you know this place (Bermuda) is desperate for foul bottoms."

A PP OIN T MENTS. WOOLWICH, FEB. 6 .— Boatswain George Wilson to the Caipenter ' helms - .:A'uller, to the Ocean. Commander Quin, recently Cowmander of the Waterwitch, 8, sloop, visited Woolwich .Dockyard yesterday, to try the effect of a plan he proposed for illuminating. the upe decks of :Teasels of war during th e Piffbt tithe Without t h e light Great excit...ment was caused in York on the morning of Tuesday last by a rumour being spread abroad that a gen tl,manCy-lookiug man had been apprehended by the police on a charge of having murdered his wile, at Todmorden, by administering poison to her. The report was verified at noon, by the prisoner being taken down to the Guildhall,wherta be,fore. the Lord Mayor and T. W. Wilson, Esq., he was charged, by the name of John Cooper, with having, on the 21 of .January last, mur dered his wife, Jane Cooper, by the means above stated. Little or nothing, however, transpired there, for the accused had been brought up only for the purpose of Mr. Chalk, the superintendent of the York police, asking for a remand until Thursday, which was granted ; the prisoner, who asserted his entire ignorance of the crimc , imputed to him, having a ri quest of his also complied with, viz., that he in the mean time might be allowed to consult with a professional adviser. It is stated that Co, per was formerly head assistant at Lincoln Grammar Schaal, and that since then he has resided at Stanfield-hall, near Todmorden, which is on the Yorkshire side of the border between that county and Lancashire, where he conducted a boarding-school f.r young gentlemen. He is about 30 vears of age, and married a Miss Ripley, of Tockwith, near Y'ork. His own parents reside at Kirk Ham merton, near this city. Ile has been married about tour years, and has two children—one about six weeks old, and the other about two years. In the latter part of December last his wife gave birth to their second child, and she died on the 2d of January last. The remains of the deceased were brought to Hilton to be buried among her relatives, and Cooper had remained in this neighbourhood since. Some three or four days ago a suspicion arose that Mrs. Cooper's death had been caused by some foul means, and this suspicion resulted in an application being made to the coroner, J. Wood, Esq., of this city, who on Tuesday last opened an inquiry at Bilton, which stands adjourned until Monday next. The result of the inquiry, as far as it went on Tuesday, was, that the coroner issued his warrant for the exhumation of the body of the deceased, with a view to an 1 analysis of the contents of the stomach. With respect to the apprehension of the husband, we find that police-sergeant Heap, from Todmorden, came to York on Sunday last, it beeing supposed that Cooper would arrive on business on the following day. The superintendent of the York police was consequently communicated with, and he having taken steps to search for the accused, it was found that be had arrivet at York, and that he had taken up his residence at the Black Swan Hotel, in Coney-street, where he had represented himself as a clergyman wishing to obtain a marriage licence. On Monday evening Cooper at tended one of the Wesleyan chapels in this city, and, having been followed about \ from place to place by an officer in un dress, he was finally apprehended between ten and eleven o'clock at night on a warrant issued by the Lord Mayor. As in all such cases, a motive for alleged murder has been sought for; and the one assigned is that the accused has been on very intimate terms with the daughter of a Wes leyan minister at Alford, iu Lincolnshire, to whom he was anxious to be allied.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,—l observe a paragraph in your paper of the 3d, stating that the strike of the seamen of the North still continues, and that there is no prospect of an arrange ment, as both parties stand out for the rates respec tively fixed by them; in contradiction to which, I beg to state that no fixed rates were ever put forward by the ship Owners, and that the rates of wages asked by the seamen were conceded in a very few days, in fact most respectable shipowners regret that sailor s ' ever come so low, though how long wages be able to should the y ,nay pay the advance, and keep their ships navigating at the present miserable freights is another question. The present movement of the seamen is, therefore, now con fi ned to their opposi tion t o the shipping-offices, and their disinclination to ente r into any contract in or through them, or even to sign the coasting articl es i n the form required by the Mercantile Marine Act.
