The mining share market has not been so brisk this week as we have had it for some time past, although several shares in our le lding minei have changed hands. The advices received from the great mining districts of Cornwall aid Devon ire generally of a gratifying character—the mines, on the whole, looking remarkably well. There are sever& new adventures, which have recently been brought before the public, which appear to com mand some attention from the parties who have not be fore been much engaged in mining matters; and, from the highly-coloured reports produced, we fear are apt to captivate the inexperienced. We would ne•t venture an opinion on their assumed merits, but recommend the public generally to he satitfied of the correctness of the representations made before they become involved. At the Wheal Trehane toi-mon:hly meeting, the ac counts produced showed a balance of 5921. 13s. 7d. is favour of the adventurers, aid a dividend of 1/. per share was declared, which will leave a balance of 336 L 133. 7d. in hand. The i.alance i% lessened, in conse quence of the payment of 3001. on account of new engine and crusher. There ha% been a slight falling off in her returns, but the agent's report is rather encouraging than otherwise. Eight.,-five tons were to be sampled this week. _ ST. JOHN'S NATIONAL SCHOOLS, K ENSAL - GREEN .- The site of these schools (just opened) was liberally given by the warden and fellows of All Souls' College, Oxford. The ground has a frontage of 40 feet towards Kilburn-lane, and a depth of about 280 feet. The schools are so arranged, that the boys enter from Kilburn-lane, and the girls from the Harrow-road, by a pathway, some 300 or 400 feet in length, which advantage was obtained by a further grant from All Souls' College, and by the Rev. A. G. Pemberton giving up a portion of his garden. Mr. Alfred Lang was the architect appointed by the committee. and under his superintenden ce the building was erected. The structure is of a plain but substantial character, two stories in height, the ground story being for the boy s a n d th e u pp er story for the girls. The school-rooms are 40 feet by 23 feet, and 14 feet in height. The class rooms are 11 feet 6 inches by 10 feet. A separate residence for the master and the mistress is attached to each end of the school building, but they have no internal com munication with the schools, and contain living rooms 14 feet by 12 feet, kitchens, 12 feet by 12 feet, and bedrooms of corresponding sizes : the closets, &c., are detached. The contract was entered into with Mr. Edser for 1,2291., but the total cost, including fittings, additional fence walls and fencing, and all expenses, will not be less than 1,5001. The schools will accommodate 340 children.—Builder. At a special general meeting of the shareholders in Bast Birch Tor, the report of Captain Carthew was read, and considered highly satisfactory, and power given to the directors to carry out his recommendations, by rais ing the necessary capital, according to their discretion.

Gustavus Vaughan Brooke applied, under the Protec tion Act, on his interim order. He was opposed by Messrs. Nathan, the theatrical dress vendors, and a butcher named Bloomfield. The debts amounted tl 5301., of which nfarly 2001. Ns ere owing to Messrs. Nathan for the hire of dresses. Mr. Brooke attributed his insolvency to having been suddenly thrown out of an engagement with Mr. Watts to perform at the Olympic Theatre. He was to have received 300 L, but after performing five weeks the theatre Wit 3 closed. He was for a long time out of em ployment, but waa now expecting another engagement. He had no theatrical dresses or other property to give up. He was a single man, but had had great expenses. He was surprised to find Messrs. Nathan's debt so large; he considered it exorbitant, and that Mi. would have been sufficient for the dresses he had hired. He did not sup pose that they could have been worth more than 401., us they were only made up for show. His engagement at the Olympic Theatre this year began on the 4th of February, and the theatre was closed in five weeks after wards. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS observed that it was a matter of public notoriety how it closed, as appeared from the police reports. Mr. SARGOOD said the eubkct referred to by the Learned Commissioner was a recent affair. The clo,.ing of the theatre had nothing to do with the Globe office. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS —Why did it close so suddenly? The insolvent said Mr. Watts was taken up on acharge of embtszlement. Mr. Commissioner Pamirs—That is what I said. We can't shut our eyes to what is going on. The insolvent, referring to the subject respecting Mr. Watts, said, " I had nothing to do with it." Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS —Of course not, but was not the theatre closed in consequence of his arrest on a charge of embezzlement? Insolvent—lt was, Sir. His examination was continued, and he stated that he had acted at the theatre for four weeks. The rate of salary by the contract was 251. a week. Mr. 'Watts had paid him 1231., and a sum of 60/. on account of the con tract. He bad got money in advance, upwards of 1001., to pay Mr. Nathan's first action. He had every reason to believe that the contract with Mr. Watts was at an end. He did not take advantage of it and engage him self elsewhere. At present he was out of an engage ment. He had had no engagement since the closing of the theatre until the last fortnight. He had an engagement at the Marylebone Theatre on certain terms—to share after the expenses. He entered into the engagement with Messrs. Stirling and Kinlock for a fortnight, with power on his part to continue if it was found mutually advantageous. The contract with Mr. Watts was that he should not play within twelve miles of London ; but when the theatre was closed he felt himself at liberty to engage himself at another theatre. Mr. SARGooDsttidthere was no doubt of it. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to inquire of the insol vent what expectations he had of paying the debts he now owed. The insolvent said he had every expectation. Before last December he had various engagements—sharing engagements in the country. There were, he knew, some small debts in the schedule—one of seven guineas, for cab hire when be was at Manchester, which was the balance of an account. There were some debts which he had not paid on account of his inability. Mr. SARGOOD said it was well known that in the theatrical profession there were difficulties in the outset. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS—And I believe in other professions as well. In answer to further questions the insolvent said he had not been able, fir want of means, to pay for the hire of the cab. He had now no property to give up to the creditors—no theatrical dresses. The dresses he used he had on hire of Messrs. Nathan, when he first came to London, in 1848. He had paid Messrs. Nathan 1031. 3s. 6d., and now owed them 1091. for debts and costs. A discussion arose respecting the hiring of the goods, and it was stated that more had been paid for them than they were worth. The insolvent further stated that he had not the means to purchase his theatrical dresses, and therefore hired them of Nathan, and had not paid any money until he was arrested. He was performing at the Olympic Theatre about five months iu 1848, under Mr. Spicer and Mr. Denton. He was paid 201. a week, and then it was increased to 25/., and for two months he had 301. a week. He had received in the five months about 500/. The re mainder of the year he was at Brighton and other places, and made, he should suppose, 150/. He was not a mar ried man, but was in difficulties, and devoted his money to pay his debts at Liverpool and Manchester, where he was a resident. He did not know what he owed Messrs. Nathan, but he did not expect the exorbitant charge they had made of 1031. He thought that 50/. would have been a moderate charge for the dresses, or 11. a week. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS asked the real value of the dresses hired. Insolvent—A mere nothing. Mr. COOKE—About how much? Insolvent—About 40/. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS—Made up for show. Mr. SARGOOD said it was like hiring a horse and chaise—more was paid in time than the value. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS—That depends on cir cumstances. I never did an) thing of the kind. After a few more questions and a conference between the counsel, Mr. CooxE said he had been speaking to his Learned Friend about paying the debts. He had an offer to make, but he would not make it before his friend had bad tae opportunity of opening his case. Mr. Brooke's charac ter before the public was of great importance to him, and therefore he had abstained from making the offer, that the public might know there was nothing in the case to affect his character. Mr. SARGOOD readily admitted that there was nothing in the case against Mr. Brooke's character. It was as well that it should go forth to t`►e public. Mr. CooKE said be had the honour of ser-ing Mr. Brooke on the subject before he came into court. His character was everything with him, and from his great talents, the offer he was about to make was one that would certainly benefit the creditors. It was proposed that, at the end of each year, Mr. Brooke should make a statement of his gro•s receipts, and pay into court one eighth part for his creditors, so that if he made 8001., there would be a 1001. fur the creditors. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS said he saw an item in the proceedings of 8001. fur travelling expense s. Mr. CooKE said the expeases incurred were very great. Mr. SARGOOD said he should prefer a fixed sum. Without being personal, actors were known to have some habits of extravagance. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS—This gentleman has a character to support, and I see no debt of extravagance in the schedule. There is nothing in the case to affect Mr. Brooke's character in the least degree. It was then arranged that a day should be named for the final order. Mr. Bloomer, the creditor in person, opposed. His debt was only 2/. 16s. 4d., and he had sued Mr. Brooke in the county court. lie wanted his debt erased from the schedule, so that he might have his remedy in the county court; but the Commissioner told him that it could not be done. A discussion arose respecting the periods at which Mr. Brooke was to render an aceount of his professional income; Mr. Sargood wanted it, qu irterly, but Mr. Cooke proposed half yearly, and, eventually, the first account was to be rendered by Christmas next. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS said he understood that Mr. Brooke was in expectation of an immediate engage ment. The insolvent said he expected an engagement. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS —I have very little doubt that the debts will be paid, provided he has his health ; I 'se no reason to doubt it. It was then arranged that the first a-count Ehould be rendered at Christmas next, ani the 24th May was fixed for the final order. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. The Rev. John Berrington was charged with obtain ing a sum of money from Mary Oakley under false pre tences. The prosecutrix stated, that being in want of a situa tion, she was introduced to the prisoner by Mrs. Wright, who keeps the Domestic Emporium in New Oxford street. On the 6th of April she was engaged as house keeper: -by the prisoner. The prisoner represented himself as living at Bromley, in Kent. He asked pro secutrix whether she had any property. She replied in the negative. He said that he was short of cash and wanted her to lend him some money, adding that his former housekeeper had done so. She let, and having procured 10/. she called at the prisoner's lodgings on Wednesday fortnight and had an interview with him, when she lent him 41. and some silver. She made this advance on the faith of the written engagement he had given her, and the promise that her money would be returned with her wages for the first quarter. It was Mrs. Wright who said the prisoner lived at Bromley; she afterwards said at East Ham, and also named Knowle-park. He evaded the subject of his place of residence. In consequence of suspicions which had been awakened in her mind, she caused the police to take the prisoner into custody,which was done at his lodgings, No. 5, Oxford-street. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said he would tell the truth. He lived at Snareabrook, but as some dis pute had occurred about the rent, 250/. a year, he had been induced to leave the place, and had since been un settled. He had told the prosecutrix how he was situated, and that when he was settled she was to come and be his housekeeper. He intended no deception. She had been to Miss Fowler'a, his former housekeeper, who had also lent him money, but which had been duly repaid, as his banker's book would show.

He was remanded till Friday next. MAR YL EBOIVE. Ia the report inserted in our paper of Saturday, of a charge against Mr. Lawrence, a fishmonger in Motcomb streef, Belgrave-square, fur " having feloniousl3 7 obtained possession of a title-deed by inciting a person to st , a! the same," Mr. Long is stated to have remark :ed that "the inciting to steal had no doubt been cleat 'ly made out, but not so the felonious intent." The latter part of this observation is incorrectly given, the worthy a nagii trate's words (which were not distinctly heard i 'y the reporter) having been " the question is whether there was an actual felonious taking in this case, when i t has been shown that the property was freely given up t o the prisoner." . . Mr. Wakeling conducted the prosecution. Mr. Thtenas Bland, botcher, of High-street, Islington, was the first witness examined by Mr. Wakeling. He said that on Wednesday, the 3d of the present month, a respectehly-dressed man and Mr. Ward, a butcher, in Exmouth-street, came into his shop, and purchased some mutton-chops, and he afterwards, at their request, pro ceeded with them to the Blue Coat Boy public-house, City-road, to take a glass of ale. Here they were soon joined by Lawler, who was drinking brandy-and-water, and subsequently by Bailey. who feigned to ba drunk, and said he had been at Sadler's Wells on the previous night. After narrating some story about being crossed in love, he said he had already come into the possession of 5001. a year. Bailey then offered wit ness a bottle of champagne, which he declined to accept. Bailey then asked Lawler to engage in a game of skittles, which he agreed to, and proceeded for the purpose to the John Bull public-house, in Brewer-street. The geme was accordingly played there for 1/., which was deposited in witness's 1 - and, who was induced to accompany the prisoner to •' see flair r•lay." Bailey having lost, witness gave up the stilies to`Lawler, who, out of it, paid for a bottle of port wine, which was brought to them by Ann Russell, servant of the landlord. While they were par t king of the wine, Lawler made a bet of 5/. with Miley that he (Bailey) could nit bring down the nine pins in five times, and the money was dilly post-d, and lost, by the litter; after which witness advised him to play ❑o more, or he would lose all his money. To this recom mendation Bailey observed that it did not matter to him it he lost a hundred or two, and play he would. About this time a stout man, celled by tl: e prisoners Johesen, e as let into the ground by them, and emit tnettced betting with Bailey, who st 11 continuing to 10-e, witness was even tually induced by Lawler to bet Bailey that he did ❑ot get the nine skittles in five times, which stain witness very quickly dropped (a laugh), and also a like amount very soon on the same issue of the game. After this in sight by witness into the mysteries of the play, Bailey said to him, " Now, I will bet you 50/. you cannot get them in nine times," which sum wit❑ess immediately procured, when Bailey refused to make good the bet, unless it was increased to 1001. Witness not having sufficient money for that purpose, let that particular matter end, but consented to play a match with Bailey fir 20/, Lawler and Johnson engaging to put up the skittles, urging that it would be better for them to do so than to allow a stranger to come into the ground. Mr. TYRWHITT (smiling)—Of course, he allowed you to win the 20/. ? Prostemtor—On, no.—(Laughter.) Mr. Mould (the clerk)—How many times did you go at the pins? Witness—usually four. When I went that number, he went three times.—(A laugh.) Mr. Wakeling—Of course when you went two he would get them all, and would have tied you every time had you knocked them all down at a throw. Much laughter, in which the prisoners joined. The witness continued, that he played another ma'ch for 101. with the same result, and after that he was pre vailed on to go with Ward and his friend and the priso ner and Johnson to the Sportsman, in the City-road. where Lawler called for six glasses of brandy and water, one of each they drank. While there, witness said it was a shame he should have lost so much money, wht.n Lawler and Mr. Ward's friend recommended him to go to another skittle-ground, telling him be would win all back again, and tLey named one in the Kingslaud-road, whither they all proceeded in a cab, and where witness was fleeced of the rest of his cash in the same way, be sides a cheque for 25/. Mr. Mould—How much money were you robbed of ? Prosecutor-531, independent of the cheque. By Mr. Wakeling—l drank so little that I am satisfied I must have been drugged. I was ill two days after wards. Ann Russell, servant at the John Bull, identified both prisoners as having been at the house on the 3d inst., when Mr. Bland was there. The prisoners were next charged with having swin dled Mr. Rowland Morgan, builder, of 22, 'Ashley crescent, City-road, of 30/. Mr. M irgan shortly stated that, on the 13th of March, he was asked by a young man in Bury-street, City-road, the way to the Angel Tavern, and as he was going that way he offered to show him the house. They proceeded as far as the Windsor Castle, City-road, where the stranger halted and invited him to partake of some re freshment, and they went in and had a pint of half-and half. The prisoner Bailey app( arid then in the same character as in the first ease, and fleeced him of 301. in the same manner as at the John Bull. Mr. Wakeling now asked for a remand, and said he had no doubt he should at the next examination have numerous other charges to prefer of far greater magnitud,.. The prisoners applied to be admitted to bail. Mr. TYRWHITT said it was a bailable offence, and or dered them each to find two responsible housekeepers in the sum of 1501. each, and give 24 hours notice to Mr. Wakeling. The prisoners wero sent to the House of Detention until the bail is found. hospital, fund the poor women in such a precarious stite that he at once proceeded to Bow-street for the .magistrate to come and take her depe.itions. Mr. Hall, the chief magistrate, was soon in attendance, accom panied by Inspector Black and Mr. O'Brien, the es sistant clerk. The prisoner was brought up in custody of two policemen. Having heard some one remark that his wife's heal was completely smashed, he shuddered, and said, " Ah! she muss have fal'en head foremost." During the time that the depositions were being taken the prisoner appeared in great agony. The woman said she was thirty-five years of age, and her husband had frequently beaten her in an unmerciful man ner. Somettmes with a poker. Latterly he had been much more affectionate and kind to her. On Saturday night they had been out drinking together. They got home about half-past twelve. In a short time afterwards she said or did something which displeased him, when he struck her over the face acid head. The last blow knocked some of her teeth out; she then heard him call for a poker, and she, to escape, pushed the window up, for the purpose of exiling assistance, when she fell or threw herself out. She knew she was dying, and prayed for fergiveriess. The little girl, who said her name was Martha Donovan, Confirmed what her mother had stated about the quarrelling, and added, tha: she ran to the window, when her (ether followed, and lifting her up, threw ter out of window int) the back yard, and she fell first on her face and then on the back of her neck. She had fre quently seen her fether beat thr mother. The prisoner then ook a farewell of his wife, but said nothing about the occurrence. He was removed back to his cell at Bow-street. CLERKENWELL. James Bailey and John Lawler, alias Dickson, , were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with having conspiret I to cheat divers persons of various large sums of money. The court was thronged by persons have been pla. n dered by the prisoners and the gang to which the e " belong. MYSTERIOUS ROBBERY. Yesterday, between one and two o'clock, a rumour rapidly spread throughout that part of the parish of Clapham lying near to the Wandeworth-road, that a murder and robbery had taken place that morning during the hours of Divine service at the house of Mr. John Meddle, Clarem o at-place, Wandsworth-road, and that the person murdered was that gentleman's housekeeper. At a ter( minutes to eleven o'clock, Mr. Meddle left his house to attend Divine service at Clapham church. Mr. Meddle returned shortly after one o'clock, and ring ing the bell at the gate several times, and finding he could make no one hear, he went round to the garden gate, which, to his surprise, was unfastened. He went in. The washbouse door was open, as also the back kitchen, and he was almost paralysed at beholding his housekeeper lying on her back in the frost kitchen, her legs extending over the threshhold of the door, and her head lying towards the French windows that open into the area in front of the house. Mr. Maddle felt the body, and believing, as was the fact, that life was ex tinct; rushed out and alarmed the neighbourhood. For some short time so horrified were the neighbours that none of them, though earnestly appealed to by Mr. Maddle, would go into the house. At last Mrs. Travash and Mrs. Staples went in, and found the deceased lying as stated, but under most extraordinary circum stances. Her right leg was partly drawn up under the body, and entangling the foot, which was without a shoe (which is missing), was a coil of rope used in banging out clothes; her head rested on six or seven folds of, carpeting, and within six inches of the head was a basin containing about a pint of clean water. The face, hands, and other parts of the body were cold. There was not the smallest contortion of features nor, so far as was observed, any marks of personal violence. The eyes were closed as if in sleep, and but for the ghastly ex presion of the face it could have hardly been imagined but she slept. The police were very promptly on the spot, as also Mr. Parrott, jun., the surgeon to the police force, who examined the body. and pronounced life to have been ex tinct some time, • He could detect no outward marks of violence, nor was there any mucus flowing from the mouth or nostrils. On,entering the house Mr. Maddle had found it in a state of great disorder, and very soon discovered that a gold watch, some jeweller;', consisting ef rings, &e., and some plate had been carried off. Mr. Coleman, the inspector of police, having communicated with Mr. Bicknell, the superintendent of the V division, made an examination of the premises, and found that every drawer, box,' and even the iron chest, had been opened and ransacked, and a small box, in which the housekeeper kept her money, was emptied of its contents. A very great deal more labour appeared - to have been ex pended in opening the various drawers, cupboards, &c., than would have been used by an expert thief. What the amount of property stolen actually is cannot at pre sent be stated. From subsequent information obtained by Inspector Coleman and his men, it would appear that two men were seen in a byt-road near the rear of the house at about twenty . minutes past twelve o'clock at noon, and one of them is elescribed as follows :—Short stature, with a blotched face ; dressed in a dark coat with pockets at the side, a black neckerchief and a red Maid handkerchief containing a bundle. The other was tall and thin, with curly hair, he WAS dressed in dark clothes, and carried a blue bag; they went in the direc tion ofßalham. Between eleven and twelve o'clock a man was lurking about the bye-lane, and lay down in the grass in the rear of the house. He was attired in shabby black clothes and black neckerchief with spots. Another man, about the same time, was seen near the spot. At a later part of the evening Dr. Parrott, the father of the previously, mentioned surgeon, attended by his son, examined the body. Dr. Parrott remarked that there was no suffusion in the eyes, nor any congestion; there was no protrusion of the tongue, and not the slightest scratch; and it was further remarked that the deceased appeared to be in good health. ATTEMPTED MURDER. A very painful sensation prevailed during the whole of yesterday in the immediate vicinity of Drury-lane, in consequence of a report that Donovan, the pugilist, had murdered his wife, by throwing her out of the window. From careful inquiries made the reporter ascertained that the unfortunate woman had been thrown out of the window, and the injuries she thereby received prevent the possibility of her recovery. Donovan, who follows the trade of a blacksmith when not in training for pugilistic encounters, resides at No. 17, Short's-gardens, Drury-lane, and on Saturday night was drinking with his wife at a public-house in the neighbourhood.. They both left when the house closed at twelve o'clock, and they arrived at their home shortly afterwards. Nothing was seen or heard of either of them until about half-past one o'clock, when some of the lodgers heard a• screaming and a cry of " Police" pro ceeding from D movan's room. The occupier of the next house, who was sitting up, and who heard the alarm, ran into Drury-'ane to procure assistance. He met a policeman, to whom he said he was afraid a mur der was being committel in the next house to his own. The officer without a moment's delay ran into Donovan's house, when he found the various lodgers in the back yard and the almost lifeless body of the wife. Several other officers having arrived, they procured a stretcher, on which the poor creature was placed, and removed to King's College Hospital. Police-constable Gabb then went up stairs to Donovan's room, on the second fl where he found the mars leaning against the wall. A Mile girl, who was in the room crying, informed the constable that her father had thrown her mother out of window. The officer thereupon told Donovan that be must consider himself in custody f ir the murder of his wife. Donovan replied, " Oh, well, I will go with you, but she did it herself; she threw herself out of window." The man was then removed to Bow-street police station, where he was locked up. The little girl, and a younger child asleep in the room, were removed to the workhouse. When the unfortunate woman reach .d the hospital her skull was found to be fractured, and her forehead completely beaten in. Her ribs were alt broken, and her left side terribly injured. At two o'clock yesterday ,afternoon Professor Ferguson, the physician to the THE WINDOW-TAX. If we help to keep open the question of the window. tax, it will readily be understood tnut we are not pressing for its immediate abolition, or for its abolition at all, without some equivalent duty in its stead. Nothing can bs done this session, and it is vain to expect that even next session the country will be in a condition to strike off more than 1,800,0001. from its revenue, chit fly f the benefit of the wealthier classes. In general, too, it is of very little use to fret about a tax, which must be borne whether we like it or not. But there are circum stances about the window-tax which make it an excep tion, just now especially. In the first place, every house that is built—from the cottage which pays no window tax to the mansion which pays '304 or 40/.—bears the impress of the tax on its front and on its back; from its cellars to its very roof; from its reception-rooms to its smallest offices—from its general plan to its most casual appendage. An enormous amount of mischief is done every year in the structure of houses, which, once built, do not easily admit of alteration. Every year, too, a considerable number of old houses are de stroyed, simply because the window-tax renders_ it expensive to inhabit and impossible to let them. But, besides these constant reasons for a yearly discussion of the subject, there happens to be a species of window-tax crisis at this moment. We profess to be inaugurating a great sanitary reform. By the abolition of the glass duty, and now of the brick duty, as well as by the reduction of the timber duties, we are giving great encouragement to building; and this we are doing on sanitary grounds. Further, some important in quiries are in progress, and some important experiments have been recently made, on the best mode of lodging the operative classes. From them it appears that the window-tax has presented, and does still present, the most serious obstacle to the best form of dwellings for the poor. In fact, the pressure of the tax is so great that it threatens to suspend further operations; and the best, the most rational, and the most successful act of benevolence attempted of late years, is almost pro hibited, not so much by the necessity of contributing to the revenue, as by the mode in which that contribution is levied. We might add, that some valuable discoveries and improvements have been lately made, which are likely to be comparatively unavailable so .long as the window-tax ties our bands. It is-from these considerations that we gladly assist the prayer of the deputation, whose conference with the Chancellor of the Exchequer is reported in another pare of our columns. Sir Charles Wood's reply offers rather more encouragement than has been vouchsafed to some other deputations. " The question of the window duties," he says, " will receive the fullest -consideration of her Majesty's Government." This is a pledge, and we have reason to believe that it is made in the •hope of some substitute being found. Isere, then, is our only chance of deliverance from a tax liable to many serious objections over and above its mere pecuniary pressure. We will give all publicity to the problem which for half a century has puzzled our financiers, and which once more taxes their ingenuity. " What form of house-tax or other tax will supply the place of the window-tax, with out entailing worse inconveniences?" As the problem is exceedingly difficult; and its solution is for the henefv of the public, it is but natural to expect that the public should assist in its solution. Were the Chancellor of the Exchequer to come forward to-morrow with au ela borate scheme for the purpose, experience leads us to apprehend that he would find it attacked in detail, not only by everybody who happened not to derive quite as much benefit as he desired tram the scheme, but also by everybody who had some reason for wishing the scheme to founder altogether. Fourteen years ago, when the alternative was offered, the public deliberately retained the window-tax and rejected the house-tax, nut on the ground that a house-tax was essentially the worse tax of the two, but because it was thought to be unfairly le vied, and, moreover. nut very capable of a fairer distri bution. Were Sir Charles, however, to bring f sward a new and improved scheme, we see little reason to hope - that it would emape the opposition which proved fatal to the house-tax actually levied tor curl years till 1836. Indeed, it is out of all reason to expect that any paper scheme should at once be more mature and ready fir working than a scheme long ie practice, and frequently amended. We repeat, then, that if the public wishes to repeal the win dow-tax, it must do something more than hold meet , ings and send deputations ; it must suggest a substitute, the only possible substitute being some form of house tax. It will, perhaps, be said,. that it is time business of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to find taxes and of the public t 9 get rid of them. We do not, hoWever, admit, that distribution of labour. The interest of both par ties is the same, viz., to provide for the proper expect diture of the nation by the best and easiest me tns. There can be little doubt as to the conditions of the problem before us. The odiousness of the window-tax is not so much its actual burden as its interference with the comfort, the health, and the architectural effect of our houses. We must not, then, expect to pay less for our houses, excepting where a principle of exemption has been established, but, as yet, unequally applied. There are cases where the window-tax ought to be amended, and where consequently a house-tax, allowing the tame exemptions, ought to be qualified also. For example, it the inns of court and the colleges and halls at Oxford and Cembridge pay a .mitigated window-tax on the distinct sets of chambers, surely the buildings recently opened for the occupation of poor families near St. Pancras Old Church, and other similar establishments, ought not to pay the higher rates, mount ing up, as they do, to an extravagant sum. Something too must be said for private houses let in lodgings, the keeping of such houses being a species of trace, and the nuraber of windows in them being out of proportion with their value or class. These grounds of excep tion equally hold good, whether the tax is on the windows or on the house itself. Except in such cases as above,, we must deprecate all attempts to gat rid of taxation under the cover of a just re pugnance to the particular shape of the pre sent tax. . The substitute must not be a tax an the windows, the doors, the chimneys, the ca pacity, or the measurement of the house, but simply on its value for letting as a residence. So, at least, it appears to us. If aty. attempt 'is made to in clude houses of business in the tax to a greater extent thitia they are included in the operation of the window tax, we anticipate an active and sucessful opposition. The rule of the letting value, we are aware, is not of easy and universal application. It will have to be modi fied. The case of first-class mansions in the country is a special c-fse, for which a special rule must be found. For example; it would be impossible to find a tenant for Chatsworth-house on any terms whatever, so that its letting value is nil, while a valuation with reference to its cost, or its scale, would go into the other extreme. Such houses, however, are treated exceptionally under the present window-tax; aed might he, also, untter a house-tax. We see no insuperable di l; culty iu the problem before us, and so we confidently commit it to the ingenuity of those persons who are really anxious to get rid of a most incoevenient tax without injury to t h e revenue and credit of the nation.—limes.

Oatmeal has likewise continued in fair request at late rates. Influenced probably by contrary winds, the imports into Liverpool from abroad are on a less ex tensive scale than for several vteeks past, consisting only of 8,768 quarters of wheat and 5,448 quarters of Indian corn, and from Ireland the arrivals are on a very moderate scale, while from our own coast. the supplies are exceedingly light. At our market this morning a more animated feeling was ap parent than for some time past, and wheat must be noted Id to 2d per 701 b dearer than on thss day se'nnight.
