It is preparatory to a dissolution. Will the same Parliament ever meet again, are questions which arise among politicians, but cannot be answered. The Parliament is rarely al lowed to die a natural death, and the present is drawing nearly to its close, and may be dissolved before Christmas, taking advantage of the calm which succeeds a stormy session, and from the benefit de rived from the absence of all political excitement ; meanwhile everybody is on the qui vive, providing for the Sporting season, and the rush to the Establishment of E. MOSES and SON for SHOOTING COATS, FISHING COATS, and DARE-WEATHER DRESSES, of all kinds, reminds one of the crowds at the Crystal Palace. It is impossible to conceive the effect of the display of seasonable Clothing, comprising lightness, durability, style, elegance, and comfort. Every variety of material and design that the most ingenious artists and the best workwomen can invent and execute, may be seen at the great Mart in Aldgate and the Minorics, or the noble West-end Branch Establishment, in New Oxford-street, corner of Hart-street. A Gentleman can, when dressed in one of Messrs. E. MOSES and SON'S new and fashionable Sporting Coats, bring his gun to his shoulder or throw a fly with as much freedom as if he had no Coat on, and yet defy the weather, for they throw off the water like a duck's back, and are, nevertheless, thin, light, and beautifully ventilated; in fact Messrs. E. MOSES and SON have made Sporting Coats, among other thing's, a study, knowing that perfect freedom of action, lightness of material, a good fit, a certain degree of style and elegance, and durability, are all necessary to make a. gentleman really enjoy sport. It is, therefore, with the highest confidence that Messrs. E. MOSES and SON invite all Gentlemen, about to leave town, to visit either of their enor mous Establishments, to inspect their numerous and various dresses for the season, which they will at once see cannot be surpassed, and certainly not equalled in London at double the price. Eve), article is marked in plain figur e s, and no deviation is ever. made under any circumstances, and no sooner is a garment purchased than it is replaced. Hundreds of th e best workmen are constantly employed under the be s t art i sts and cutters, and Gentlemen w ho prefer to be measured can be suited in an incredibly short time. E.

The following testimonial is another proof of the great effi cacy of this medicine : " 157, Now Bond-street, London, October 12, 1850. " Sir,—ln acquainting you with the great benefit which I have ex perienced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, I feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the public who may be similarly affected. " About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout in my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and lit Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Hussars. I always pro cured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief, and my sufferings can be appreciated only by those who know some thing of this disease. " It was during ono of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I lost no time in procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity the pain had catirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect health. " From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to me is so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic have ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause. Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf fered, but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS is towards its improvement. " I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result has always been of the most gratifying character. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, " GARRET FOSTER GILL. " To Mr. Prout, 229, Strand." For every description of Gout and Rheumatism, Sciatica, Tic-dolo reux, &c., &c., BLAnt's GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS are a sovereign remedy, contain neither mercury, opium, or any other dangerous drug, require no care whatever in their use, and for ra pidity of cure and complete safety have not their equal in the world.

CHAIRMAN—The additional duty of 1/ per cent. was to be on every subsequent assessment to the sth of April, 1805?—Yes ; it left the exemption, how ever, in respect of incomes under 601. a-year, and the graduated scale between that amount and 1501., as well as the relief clause with reference to chil dren, in exactly the same state as under the Act of 1803. But did it not, in section 37, give power to charge the owner for tenements under 101. ?—Yes. Will you state what was the next Act ?—The next Act, I think, was in 1806, brought in by the Lord Henry Petty, chapter 65. That increased the duty to 10 per cent., and repealed the 45th Geo. 111., cap., 49, and certain parts of 43d Geo. 111., cap. 122. By that Act an alteration was made in the mode of charging the dividends arising from the public funds, by providing that the Bank of England should make the assessment and deduct the tax, instead of requir ing the individuals to make a return for assessment. A material alteration was also made by this Act, with regard to the exemption from the tax, which was taken away altogether from incomes arising from realised property, such as lands, tenements, di vidends, and interest money, except in the fol lowing cases : cottages not exceeding 40s. a year, belonging to, and occupied by, the owners, who were not otherwise charged ; pro perty not exceeding the annual value of 51., be longing to labourers whose wages did not exceed 30s. per week ; profits arising from properties belong ing to ecclesiastical persons in right of their churches, profits of mines and quarries ; and annuities for life or for terms of years under 501. a-year, charged upon any property by deed or will. The exemption on profits of trade, instead of being continued to per sons having incomes under 601. a-year, was limited to sums under 501. a-year, and these are the reasons assigned in the Guide Book for that alteration : "By the former Act an exemption was granted on the whole of every person's income under 601. per an num. So baleful is indulgence on weak minds, that this regulation, intended to have a strict and limited operation, has been introductive of the greatest frauds on the public. It is notorious that persons living in easy circumstances, nay, even in apparent affluence, have returned their income under 601., although their annual expenditure has been treble that sum, and on whom there was no ground of imputing ex cravagance. The incomes of whole parishes have been swept away by this fraud, such persons generally bringing their incomes to a fraction below 60/. ; hence it is that the Legislature found the necessity of confining the ex emptions to 501., that their former returns may be made use of; and should the fraudulent practice con tinue, it may hereafter become necessary still further to restrain it." Were not small dividends under 203. to be assessed ? —They were : and the owners were required to make a return of them. And were not they assessed under Schedule (D) ? —They were ; the Bank of England did not deduct the tax from half-yearly dividends under 20s. Whilst 10 per cent. was levied oa (C), (D), and (E), what was levied under (B)? —Three-fourths. Seven and a half per cent. ?--Yes; seven and a half per cent. Or, 18d. in the pound ?—Yes. Was not there in section 103 another exemption of accredited ministers of foreign states ?—There was. Have you any further observations to make upon that Act ?—I do not know that I have anything more to state with regard to the Act itself ; the debate upon that Act with reference to the exemption is very ma terial ; Lord Henry Petty, when he introduced the Bill, alluded to the frauds which bad been committed by persons claiming total exemption under the former Act, and he contended against the continuation of such exemption upon incomes from realised property, as well upon general principles as in its application to the execution of the Property-tax Act. Mr. Vansit tart also, on the 20th of May, 1806, stated that, " for three years exemptions had been tried under the former Acts, and were uniformly found to defeat themselves, and the operation of the tax; that in some districts the duty for 1803 was not even then collected, nor were the assessments made, and the answer to inquiries into the cause of this dery was that the Commissioners had so many appeals to hear, so many claims of exemption to in vestigate, and experienced so mach difficulty to un derstand the clauses, that it was impossible to pro ceed faster." By that Act also the allowance was taken away for children ; the allowance was also taken away for repairs ; and the reasons stated for the same' are as follow : viz., that "an allowance bad been granted to owners of estates in considera tion of the necessary repairs paid by them, but which allowance had been found so inadequate, and to operate so unequally, and to be demanded in many in stances where repairs were done by tenants, that the Legislature had very wisely omitted that allowance." This is stated in: the " Guide to the Property-tax Act of 1806." The other instances of alteration are confined to matters of jurisdiction; the assessments under (A) and (B), were made under that Act for two years, instead of one year, as in the former Act. Lord H. VANE—That was the first time they were ever made for two years ?—Yea ; it was an annual as sessment before. _ _ CHAIRMAN—Were there not new rules for estimat ing income on which exemption or allowance was to be granted ?—There were. Will you state the gist of them ?—I endeavoured to explain before that under the former Act, exemption was granted upon incomes under 601,, and a gradu ated allowance granted from 601. to 150/. a year ; whereas under this Act, the same rate of duty was exacted on all incomes from property, and no exemp tion granted in respect thereof, although the income of the owner was under 501. a year. Does not section 177 exempt artisans whose wages have not exceeded 30s. a week ?—lt does. By section 178 is not premium for insurance on lives allowed ?—lt is. The allowance is in these terms : " That in case any person shall have duly claimed and proved hia title to such allowance as aforesaid, for income less than 1501. per annum, and such person shall have made insurance on his life, or on the life of his wife, the amount of i the annual pre mium whereon shall have been included in the amount of such income, there shall be granted out of the duties so charged a further allowance, bearing the like proportion to the amount of duty charged as the amount of such premium bears to the amount of in come proved." What are the subsequent Acts, an d what is th e i r effect until the expiration of the tax i n 1816 ?—Seve ral Acts passed subsequent to 1806 and 1816, when the property-tax ceased, all of which appear to me to be unimportant. CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—The income-tax was re-imposed in the year 1842 ?—Yes, by Sir Ro bert Peel. What are the main points of difference between the provisions of the Act of 1842 and those of the Act of 1806 ?—I think that question could be better an swered by the solicitor who prepared the Bill than by me. I may state generally that the great difference was, first, that the rate was fixed at 7d. in the pound on all incomes of 1501. a year and upwards, total exemption being granted on all incomes under that amount, from whatever source derived, and that sche dule (B) was fixed at half the amount of the rent in England, and one third in Scotland. Mr. J.,WiLsoN—lnstead, of three-fourths and half as before ?—)Ces. You stated, in answer to a former question, that the income-tax charged upon the other schedules was ten per cent., but upon schedule (B) in England 7i per cent., and in Scotland five per cent. Was it not ra ther that the same rate was charged upon all incomes, only that the mode of arriving at the income of sche dule (B) was that it was assumed to be three-fourths of the rent and half of the rent?—That is the effect, but not the terms in which the duty is imposed. They, Were not different rates of tax ?—They were net adtually•different rates. The imposition of the duty under. Sir Robert Peel's Act is as follows " For all lands, tenements, and hereditaments in England there shall be charged yearly, in respect of the occupation thereof, for every 20s. of the annual value thereof, the sum of 3id. ;" that is half the amount of 7d. " For all lands, tenements, and heritages in Scotland there shall be charged yearly, in respect of the occupation thereof, the sum of 2-id.” Mr. Wilson's observation, I apprehend, applies to the exemption—persons having farms in Scotland of less than 450/. a year are exempt; persons having farms in England under 3001. a year are exempt; but the duty is imposed at the rate of 3id. upon the amount of the rent in England, and of 2fd. in Scotland. Was the wording of the Act of 1806 similar to that, only varying in the amounts ?—Yes; the words are :—" There shall be charged in respect of the occupation thereof, for every 20s. of the annual value thereof, the sum of 9d.;" that is, in England; and in Scotland 6d. The Act of the 5 and 6 Vict. follows precisely those terms. CHAIRMAN—You have stated that the amount in one case was 3001., did the amount at which the charge . commenced in Scotland very ?—lf a man's rent is under 3001. a year in England he is exempt, and in Scotland if it is under 4501., and he has in either case no other income. Is there any reason why that sum should be dif ferent ?—I can only repeat what I stated in answer to this question before, as to the assumed cause why a different rate of duty was charged in the two coun tries. CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—The party is exempt because you assume the profit to be a given proportion of the rent, in both cases under 1501. ? Yes. You now assume the profit at a less proportion of the rent than in 1806 ?—Yes. Mr. J. WlLSON—Although the Act of Parliament states different rates under schedule (B) on which in come is to be charged, yet in reality the same rate is charged, only that the income is assumed in the one case to be one-half of the rental, and in the other case to be one-third of rental ?—Just so. But the same rate is charged upon those assumed incomes ?—Yes, that is the effect of it. CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—In all cases a rate of 7d. in the pound is charged upon the assumed profits of the farmer, whether in Scotland or in England, that being the same rate as is charged upon the returned profits of a tradesman ?—Yes, the same rate. CHAIRMAN-Will you state to the Committee in a concise way the first steps taken for extending the provisions of the Act over the kingdom, both as to making the assessments and collecting the revenue under the several schedules (A), (B), (C), (D), and (E), and by whom such assessments are made ?—I can give a general outline, but the Committee had better examine some of our surveyors as to the detail. At the commencement of the year forms of returns are prepared by the Commissioners of Inland Re venue, and transmitted to the several surveyors of taxes; meetings are held in every division or dis trict, and assessors are appointed for carrying out the provisions of the Acts, both as regards the as sessed taxes and the property-tax. Forms applicable to the particular schedules, such as the occupation of land under (A), the occupation of a house also under (A), the profits in trades and professions, and all property applicable to Schedule (D), are sent to these several assessors, as also to Schedule (E). The duty of the assessors is contained in printed instruc tions, which are issued to each officer immediately after his appointment. The assessors then proceed to deliver at each house in every parish all these forms, as applicable to the particular case. The party is re quired by that form, with regard to a house, to state the particular house, the residence and occupation ; after these forms are filled up by the several parties, they are returned to the assessor. With regard to Schedule (A), he makes an assessment; the form of his assessment is here ; that assessment being signed by the assessors, is then submitted to the Commis sioners of the district, and being approved by them, notice of the amount of the assessment is given to the party ; appeal days are fixed, and, after the appeals are heard, duplicates of the assessment are made out by the clerk to the Commissioners, and delivered to the collector for collection. A different course is pur sued with regard to Schedule (D), under the property tax ; the party is requested to send his return of pro fits, under cover, to the dwelling•house of the Govern ment officer. If the parties desire to be assessed by the special Commissioners, instead of the general Commissioners, they state it upon this paper ; if they claim exemption they also state it upon this paper ; and they state also the amount of their profits from their trades or professions, or any other property falling under Schedule (D). These papers are then examined by the Government officer, in conjunction with the two additional Commissioners, who are se lected from the general body of Commissioners, and the latter make an assessment accordingly. If they make an increase, notice is given to the party of that increase, with the day on which he may appeal; he then appeals to the general Commissioners of the district, and they hear the case and decide upon its merits. That decision is final ?—lt is. If parties desire to be assessed by the Special Commissioners, who are two Commissioners appointed by the Government, they give notice upon the return paper to that effect; the surveyor in communicating with the Special Commissioners in London, makes the assessment ; notice is given to the parties in this case also, of the amount at which they are assessed, and the days on which the Special Commissioners will attend at the particular place to hear the appeals; their decision is also final. If parties being assessed by the General Commissioners are desirous of being heard upon appeal by the Special Commissioners, they give notice to that effect, and the Special Commissioners hear their appeals as well, and their decision is final. Is there any reference to the Government ?—There is not by the Act of Parliament. CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—Or any power on the part of the Inland Revenue or the Treasury to alter the decision of the Commissioners ?—None. CHAIRMAN—You have mentioned assessors ; do you mean the parochial assessors ?—I do. Will you state by whom the parochial assessors are appointed ?—By the Commissio ners of the district. Who are the Commissioners of the district, and by whom are they appointed ?—By Act of Parliament, their names are inserted in the Land-tax Names Acts; the carrying out of the assessed taxes and the property-tax is imposed on the Land-tax Commis sioners. Have the Commissioners of Inland Revenue any thing to do with appointing the Commissioners who are named in the Act of Parliament ?—Nothing whatever. Do you know by whom those Land-tax Commis sioners are named i❑ the Acts ?—I do not, excepting that I see the names in the Act of Parliament. And as such they are acknowledged by the Inland Board to be parties ?—They are ; justices of the peace being cx officio Commissioners for carrying out the Act. For that purpose of carrying out the Act the coun try is divided into districts ?—lt is. What is the rule with regard to a district ; is it to be in the ancient hundreds and districts of the coun try ?—lt is. Generally speaking, is not every borough a district of itself ?—No ' I apprehend not; I do not think it is ; I know several boroughs which are not districts in themselves. _ _ Have not those Land-tax Commissioners who are named in the Act the power of naming the general Commissioners of the property-tax ?—A different course is pursued with regard to the property-tax from the assessed taxes. With regard to the property tax, a meeting was convened after the passing of the Act in 1842, calling a general meeting of the Com missioners of the division. That is to say, the Assessed-tax and Land-tax Com missioners ?—Yes. At that meeting those Commis sioners are directed by the Act of 1842 to select seven Commissioners for carrying out the provisions of the sth and 6th Victoria, c. 35, and seven to supply va cancies, the first seven being called Gen eral Commis sioners, the other seven being called Commissioners to supply vacancies as vacancies arise in the first class. They are also required to appo int two additional Com missioners for the purpose of making the assessments under Schedule (D.), if they are desirous of doing so, but it is not absolutely imperative upon them to do so, because it is provided that if they shall feel it more convenient to select two of their own body, t wo o f th e first seven to act as additional Commissioners, they may do so, the appeals being heard then by the other five Commissioners, the two not hearing the appeals from the circumstance of having made the as , sessments. i That is, f any two of the seven A re appointed as V7IIOLE TERM .

Has the Board of Inland Revenue anything to do with the appointment of the assessors ?—Nothing whatever. Therefore the Commissioners and the assessors are altogether without any control by the Board of Inland Revenue ?—They are. Has not each district a clerk P—lt has. The Commissioners appoint him ?—They do. How are assessors 13aid?—With reference to the property4ax, lid. in the pound, for 'making the as sessment, and 14d. in the pound is also allowed to the collector, and 2d. in the pound to the clerk. The words of the Act are : " The clerk of the re spective Commissioners, who shall peiform the duties of his office within the respective times limited by this Act, and shall have borne and sustained all inci dental expenses, shall have and receive 2d. in the pound of all such moneys of the said several duties as shall be assessed in or by virtue of such warrants." The. assessor and collector are paid 3d. in the pound or lid in the pound each. Are they not generally the same person ?—They are generally the same. Have not instances occurred where, the assessors being also collectors, considerable defalcation and loss has taken place P—Lessee have taken place cer tainly. Have the Commissioners of Inland Revenue any power of interference in these cases ?—None. That rests with the Commissioners for General Pur poses ?—Yes ; they have the power of making a re assessment on the parish. Have not instances of that taken place ?—Yes, certainly. You cannot state of your own knowledge whether securities are required from the collectors ?—The Act of Parliament requires security to be taken, but in many instances it has not been. And losses have been suffered by the inhabitants ? —Yes. Can you give in a list to the Committee of the number of defalcations since the passing of the Act of 1842 ?—Yes. (See Parliamentary Paper, 339, May 27, 1851.) Will you be good enough to put it in ?—I will. With regard to the assessed taxes, what is the course pursued ?—With regard to the assessed taxes, the assessors make the assessments. Notice of the particulars is given to the parties assessed, and if they object to the assessment they appeal. Who hears them ?--The Commissioners of the dis trict, the Land-tax Commissioners. There is no se lection of Commissioners with reference to the asses sed taxes, as in case of the property-tax. I understand that the additional Commissioners are appointed by the Commissioners for General Purposes, and that they are for the purpose of making general assessments under Schedule (D.), where the assess ments given in by the returns of the parties are consi dered defective P—Yes ; but they make the assess ments on all returns, whether defective or otherwise. Is their decision final, or do they report to the General Commissioners ?—They make their assess ment; notice of the amount is given to the party ; if dissatisfied, he appeals to the General Commissioners, and their decision is final. There are Special Commissioners ; will you state how many there are, and what their duty is as con nected with the property-tax ?—There are three Special Commissioners. They are appointed by the Crown ?—They are ; two of them are employed in making the assessments and hearing the appeals under Schedule (D.), where parties give notice of their desire to be assessed by the Special Commissioners ; if they are desirous of being assessed by the Special Commissioners they give notice on the form No. 11 ; that form is sealed up and sent to the surveyor of taxes, by him submitted to the Special Commissioners, and they make the as sessment. By that means the parochial assessor has no cogni sance, the business being done between the surveyor and the Commissioners ?—Quite so. Am I correct in supposing that this is the course : —A. B. returns 3001. as his income, the additional Commissioners, who have all the assessments before them, assesses him at 4001.; he appeals to the General Commissioners against such assessment, whose decision is final ?—Quite so. Is the same course pursued with regard to the as sessment made by the additional Commissioners, so far as the same relates to the appeal, as the assess ment made by the Special Commissioners ?—No ; in the former case the appeal is made to the General Commissioners who do not make the assessment, whereas in the other case the appeal is made to those parties who have made the assessment. And their decision is final ?--Yes. The Commissioners for General Purposes are un paid ?—They are. The additional Commissioners are unpaid ?—They are. How are the Special Commissioners paid ?-13y the Crown, at a fixed salary of 6001. a year each. There are only three of them ?--There are three, two only of whom attended to this particular duty ; there are other duties under. the Act of Parliament, with reference to exemptions, charities, and incomes under 1501. a year, requiring to be attended to by the Special Commissioners, and it is the duty of one of the Special Commissioners to attend to those claims, therefore he does not interfere at all with making the assessments under Schedule (D.). Lord H. VANE—Are we to understand that three Special Commissioners perform all the duties of Spe cial Commissioners ?—Quite so. I should observe that the Board of Inland Revenue are Special Com missioners under the Act of Parliament ; that is only in the event of two not being able, from illness or otherwise, to go on circuit to attend the appeals; one of the board would attend on such matters ; but the business in point of fact is entirely carried on by the two who are named as Special Commissioners. CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER-11u any Com missioner of Inland Revenue, in point of fact, done any of the duty of the Special Commissioners ?—Mr. Rushton did so three or four years ago, on particular occasions. CHAIRMAN—We have obtained your statement of the duty of the parochial assessors and of the General Commissioners appointed by the Commissioners of the Land-tax ; what officers have the board, or how do they appoint the surveyors and inspectors who belong to the Board of Inland Revenue ?—The surveyors of taxes are appointed by the Crown ; there are 140, and there are ten inspectors ; these surveyors are selected from men called expectants, or supernumerary sur veyors, of whom there are about eighty; a particular district is assigned to each of these officers, and with reference to its extent and the work w hich he h as to perform, so is his remuneration ; t he y are divided into six classes, beginning at 1601. a year, rising to 4001. Is the class according to seniority, or according to the amount which they have to do ?—When the per centage on the increased charges were abolished the classes were formed, the fittest men being put into the first class as we found them fit and capable o f carr ying on the duties, so they were placed in the re spective classes, those of very recent date being the junior class. Upon a vacancy occurring in the fir st class, the fittest man in the second is selected by tne b o ard for promotion ; from the third the fittest from man is selected to go into the second ; from the fourth into the third ; from the fifth into the fourth, and from the sixth int o the fifth ; and the fittest super numerary svrveyor (seniority in art the. s fi e rn selected surveyors being the rule if the py to go into the junior class. wer . e all in classes at From what class were the surveyors of property. tax appointed in 1842 ?—They that time ; as the was considered temporar having passed for a p eriod of three years, the Govern menty did not feel it necessary to increase the estab lishment by a ppointing additional surv e y ors an d ma king new districts, but it gave the surveyor assistance by the appointment of an expectant or supernumerary. Is there not a clause in the Act directing the Board of Inland Revenue to make use of all their officers as they shall find necessary ?—There is. Will you state what is the duty of the surveyor ; when does his duty begin, and when does it end, ‘_9 connected with o property-tax ?—When he receives the returns of the individuals from the assessor, or from the parties, his duty begins, and in communica tion with the two additional Commissioners he makes the assessment. These additional Commissioners and the surveyor meet. A party's return is before them ; the surveyor knows, or ought to know, pretty nearly what are the supposed profits which, from the situa tion in life, the man ought to return, and in commu nication with these two additional Commissioners, who are also supposed to know almost every one in their immediate neighbourhood, thedecide on the amount at which, in their opinion, tWs party should be assessed. If they suppose that a man has made a return of less than the amount of his profit they make an increase. You mean that the surveyor recommends it to the Commissioner ?—I presume the surveyor does ; the surveyor is in communication with the additional Gemnissioners ; he does not make any increase, be cause it is really the act of the two additional Corns mlssioners ; it is not the act of the Government officer at ; the two additional Commissioners sign the assessment,. and though the Government officer may state that in his opinion the assessment ought to he increased, the additional Commissioners, if they think otherwise, do not do it. There are clauses is the Act of Parliament which enable the surveyor to make an increase under certain circumstances, but, in point of fact, it is really the act of the two additional Commissioners. We will suppose the case of a party being assessed ; notice of the amount of the assess ment is given to him ; the day of appeal is fixed ; if he does not appeal, the duties are put in the course of collection by the Commissioners. This assessment is submitted to the General Commissioners, and after all the appeals are heard they make out a duplicate , that duplicate is handed over to the collector, and the duty is collected. As regards the Special Commissioners a different course takes place ; the assessment does not go into the hands of any parochial officer at all ; the Special Commissioners having made the assessment, a notification is forwarded to the party that he is assessed at a given sum. If the assessment exceeds the amount returned by the party, notice is given him of the particular place in his immediate town or neighbourhood, where he can appeal. In several cases the parties do appeal ; in several cases they do not, and the assessment is then confirmed. In cases where returns have been defective and have been amended, does the surveyor make any report to the Board of such increase?—None whatever. Does he make no report of any attempts to evade the proper proportion of taxes ?—None ; he may bring any particular case before the Board, but not as a general rule, because it is held to be the act of the ad ditional Commissioners, the Government officer being the mere instrument in the country, in order to pro, tect the Crown from any fraud. Having, in fact, no responsibility as regards the amount of taxation, that being settled by the Com missioners along with the surveyor?—Quite so. That is all the duty which the surveyor has ?—He of course has to attend the appeals ; he has a great deal of duty to perform with regard to the exemptions, as well as the collectors of the taxes. If a man does not appeal against the assessment, the duty of the surveyor ceases ?—lt does, so far ea regards the assessment. But in cases where an appeal is made, will you state the progress ?—The party appears before the General Commissioners, and states his case, the Crown officer, of course, is there to justify the acts of the ad ditional Commissioners, and the General Commis. sioners then decide; sometimes they call for the pro duction of the party's books ; sometimes from ques tions which they ask him they are satisfied that the increase is correct ; they may be satisfied otherwise and reduce the assessment. They have the power o f calling for books ; they hear the case, and they de. tide, and their decision is final. Mr. COBDEN—If they call for books, the person appealing can withdraw his appeal, unless he chooses to show his books?—lle may consent to the increased charge, which avoids the production of the books. (To be continued.) ,e,..A.G.,...,-,.,.i A RAILWAY TRAIN ON FIRE. On Sunday the passengers by the 9 30 up train from Liverpool, consisting of nearly forty carriages, and densely crowded, were, when about nine miles from Crewe, and 60 from Liverpool, terrified by the sudden outbreak of flames from the roof of a third class carriage, which was loaded to a considerable height with passengers' luggage, amongst which was a quantity of bedding, linen, and other inflammable materials. The shrieks of the females were dreadful, for, from the height of the flame, it was conjectured that the whole train might be ignited, and the result of an awful character. Some gentlemen in a second class carriage, near to the one in which the conflagra tion had broken out, had smelt a smouldering of fire for some time, and had seen smoke issuing from the top of the carriage alluded to, and had endeavoured in vain to alarm a guard, or any party in control of the train, until the flames themselves warned the servants of the peril that threatened them, and then the train was stopped. The first step to check the ravages of the fire we: to remove the ignited carriage, a work of considerable labour and danger; but there were many passengers voluntarily lent their assistance, and in a short time the separation was effected. The two portions of the train being pushed far enough away to allow of the burning carriage to be entirely destroyed, and the burning luggage hurled from the roof, in doing which the fireman was much burnt. After a delay of more than half :4 n hour, the charred remains of the carriage were attached to the train, which then proceeded on to Crewe, where it was left. The amount of damage is not yet known. THE RIGHT HON. THOMAS MACAULAY. There is a common pedestrian of London streets, well known to all who are acquainted with their notabilities. He is a short, stout, sturdy, energetic man. Ho has a big round face, and largo staring and very bright hazel eyes. His hair is cut short, and his hat flung back on the crown of his head. His gait is firm and decided, with a little touch of pomposity. He is ever provided with an umbrella, which he swings and flourishes, and batters on the pavement with mighty thumps. He seems generally absorbed in exciting and impulsive thought, the traces of which he takes no pains to conceal. His face works, his lips move and mutter, his eyes gleam and flash. Squat as is the figure, and not particularly fine, in the features there is an unmistakeable air of mantel power and energy, approaching to grandeur, about the man. He is evidently under the influence of the strong excitement of fiery thought. People gaze curiously at him, and stop to stare when he has passed. But he heeds no one—seems indeed to have utterly forgotten that he is not alone in his privacy, and pushes energetically on, unw itting of the many who stare and smile, or of the few who step respectfully aside, and look with curiosity and regard upon Thomas Babington Macaulay. Occa sionally, however, the historian and the poet gives still freer vent to the mental impulses which appear to b© con tinually working within him. A friend of mine lately recognised him dining in the coffee-room of the Trafalgar Hotel at Greenwich—a fashionable white-bait house, which it appears he frequently patronises. Ho was alone, as he generally is, and the attention of more than one of the company was a tt racted b y his peculiar mutter• ing and fidgetti ness , an d b y the mute gestures w i th which he ever and anon illustrated his mental dreamings. All at once—it must have been towards the climax of the prose or verse which he was working up in his mind—Mr. Macaulay seized a massive decanter, held it a moment suspended in the air, and then dashed it down upon the table with such hearty goodwill, that the solid crystal flew about in fragments, while the numerous parties dining round instinctively started up and stared at the curious iconoclast. Not a whit put out, however, Mr. Macaulay, fly, was well known to the waiters, called loudly for his °,! to be made out at the bar, and then pulling with g cOll /1 of jerks, his hat and his umbrella from the stand , the one carelessly on his head, and strode out flourishing the other.—Correspondent of the Inverness Courier.
