In my former evidence I stated, that I consumed about 25,yentrAvis - of Salt annually, which cost me 7001. fur making Atirratic add, Since then I hare thought more on the subject of tnuriatic acid, and am now of opinion, that in similar Atuf4ett.tries throughout Great Ilritaitt — one thotiand tons • of.

Nti. Horne.) The result of my ingniries into the annual expense of Salt to the farmer, the houseeper and the cottager, leads roc to Stitte that on a farm of•1041.' a-year rent, OR which tlieese'is uutoiade for dome . stie consumptilili, nor Salt applied but in curbig provishins for the use of the family, the annual ex penditure amounts to tour pounds. on.a dairy farm of - the same•rent, the•sum•expended in Salt may be taken at ten pounds, and so or. proportion to the Sental of cheese farms. But trot appear, where cheese ivnot Made, that the expenditure in Salt is increased in pro portion to the advpnee in the rent. '['he expense to a householdei in the middle ranks of life, fn ay he fairly averaged at two bushels, aol this consumption trill attach where the ref . !' of the hOuse is ; - a~ low as :-101. and is scarcely increased in a house where the rent amounts to 1001. AIM the poor man, in his cottage of a few pounds 'a year teat, is obliged - to lay in a bushel of salt for his annual con tumption, and with 'wr;ich he cannot. dispense, being su rs >tentinl an article of his food, and so necessary an ingredient at his meals. • I lth - (Signed) - W.

Wimpole-street, 12th April, 1817.. . . - . • . The great. temptations of a tax 1S q . e'nessiVe as forty times the Value, produce this effect, that tin.: money actually receiv ed by the CroWn is not a third of what is paid by individuals in respect to•the salt Ditties. It appears by the information submitted to the Board, that the -payments by cottagcrs only, recko4u Them at ),tio,oop _timili cores amount (exclusive of the extr a charge ,ott those w ( O,lseerr cos and pigs) to more than tire whokamount of What- conies into the revenue from these duties; that again, Wilat is paid. by occupiers of hunt, estimating the rental at thirty-two millions, and calcniating an it only at five per cent. amounts to as much more ; and that the present payments by occupiers of houses, by bakers, by chemical arid Other manufacturers, by ham-curers, chand lers, leather-dressers,- and others, is much larger than ei ther of the .other two before-mentioned i: stances. With this previous observation we proceed to offer the,following outline of a Commutation fur the Salt Duties : On cottage families, two shillings each, being a tenth of what they now pay. On cottages beld on. lease, or at will, it is proposed to 'be paid by the landlord, and•added to the rent 1G2,000 On occUpiers of houses, one per cent. on the rent; thoie at 131. a- year and under, paying a. each - - - - ](,0,000 On oceupiers'of land, at two per cent. - - (340,000 Tonnage on Salt shipped coastwise, nt four pence per bushel; estimated on 300,000 tons 200,009 On mineral aikali, and tither chemicals made from.gait' Cestithated at 09,000 tons) fifteen shiltihgs per build red-wtit; ht, being fq per cwt. on the value, and onlyAbree shillings and four peace per hundred-weight more than the duty now paid on the same -weight of the very inferior article of barilla - - - 450,000 1,710,000 Manufactories of these chemicals to he separate from all Ather worhs, and to he entered with thesExcise, and periodi cally visited by the officers of Excise; ail Salt carried in, and articles oft he manufactory brought out, Iteiog iu presence of, and with a return made to, the ExCiscufficer.

BOW-STREET CHILD-STEALlNG.—Sat urday, Eliza Cobb, a wo man apparently 24 years of age, but who stated herself to be not" more than-18, was brought be fore the Sitting Magistrate; upon a charge of stealing an infant boy, three months old, son to George Canning, a poor man, residing at No. 5," Soul hend-row, Kensington. Charlotte Canning,. daughter to the prosecutor, stated, that on Satur day, the 16th inst. she was standing in High" street, Kensington, with the infant in question in her arms, when the prisoner came up to her, and said, " Let me see, what's your name ? Oh ! now now I recollect, it is Canning." - She asked wit ness how 'her mother and father were in health, said they knew her extremely well, and would be very happy to see her. She then told witness to go to her mother,- and inform her that a Miss Holmes, or Hoad, a particular friend, wished ra speak with her, observing, that she would take charge of the child during her absence. The wit ness at first hesitated; but the prisoner told her not to be fearful, that she would take care Of the " little one ;" at the slime moment taking the child with 'some degree of force front her arms. Witness then proceeded to her is titer's house, and delivered the message, upon which 'the latter, screamed out," You have given away my child 1" They immediately ran together to the spot where the prisoner had been left with the child, but she was gone. From the evidence of the mother of the child, and George Ruthven, the officer who traced and Apprehended her, it appeared, 'that on the day after the child was stolen, information was obtained that the woman had on Saturday morning stopped at a public'-house at Turnham green,. changed her dress, and went away, leaving a bundle of wearing apparel. In the evening she returned, bringing with her a child, and baring again altered her attire, she departed. She was seen to get into a stageodaggon, travelling to Alresford, in Hampilrire. She_was traced through different places by Ruthven, to a village near Alresford, where he found her walking .on a green with the infant in her arms. limtlivett allied her how the child was., and why she took' it away 'from its parenars.?- She -at first—affected intonish ment at the question, and said the child was.tier own but being directly taxed with the robbery, she confessed 'having taken it, and said site hoped the parents troup not harnrher, as slie•meatit herrn to the " little one." The child, at the time of its recapture, had on exactly the saute dress . ,as when taken from the nurse at Kensington. It appealed th . lia . ire suffered -materially front a want of proper' nourishment on the road, which the prisoner was not in a situation to supply. The prisoner made a confession to the Magistrate to th.. same effect as that made to the ofieer on her apprehension. Her object, it seems, in commit ting the vile act, was to pass the infant upon a young man with whom she had cohabited, as the offspriag of their illicit amours. She_had a very mean appearance, way much ricked with (he small-pox, and ,had a defect in one of her eyes...-. 'The prisoner was rully*cOmmitted to Newgate for Trial. GUILDHALL: BENEFIT 'SOCIETIES.—Safurday an-interesting case with 'respect to the expulsion - of a member from one of these institutions Was decided at this office. 7 Some short time since an elderly man, named Richard lieuslelti applied to the Magistrate for redress tinder the fo!lowiug Circomstanees : He had been, lie said, for 29 years a member of the Amicable Society, which at present holds its meeting at the Glaziers' Arms - public-house, Water -lane, Illackfriars. From • illness and in firmity he had been a considerable time stiper annuated, and until a few months since was io the habit of receiving the weekly allowance of ,10s. This, upon 'an " alleged charge of " was withdrawn,•and instead of being, beard in re liontion of • such 'charge, he Was expelled the society altogether. The complainant having been asked for.at copy of the Articles and Rules of the So- Clety, tiW book was put in, when, upon reference to the4otli Clause, itwas there irni restively enjoined, that all such:complaints as those under which the applicant laboured should be left to an arbitra tion to,be chosen by the Society. So far the in terference of Magistracy was superseded. Kens ley' was directed. in consequence, to claim this ar bitration, but according to one of their laws with regard to " the slightest tippling," the Society decided that he had comMitted the offence, and re lased attention to his claim. , The •complainaot turned in a few days to the office, and related this fact. The Society refusing to- act upon their .own pres cribed rules, the Magist:ate took an informatioo against them, and appointed Saturday for a hearing. Alderman J.J:SMith and Atkins Were on the bench. The defendant S., officers of ttwisociet y,urged the'ge.; neral.charge of " tippling." One of the stewards Was produced, who stated that on the 31st of De cember last he went to a public•honse in the neigh. bourhood of the' informant, and found him " tip 'Fling over a pint of porter." When this was 'drank he joined in havhig more, and he did not :leave the ale-house until after )2 o'clock. Up - ors this story being more closely investigated, it ap peared to be nothing short of a " trap " Previoui to the informatit having, on the night mentioned, gone to the public-house, he received several pees; .sing invitations to Meet persons there whom he scarcely knew. (Jo the eve of the new year he ad mitted 'he - went th e re, and soon after the steward came•in ; .the informant was then sitting over pint of, porter, which, however, he , had not finished, when th steWal'd desired to join and poured the Contents of his vessel into That of the informant. After this had been drank, the Steward proposed to the informaio to have more, and by certain means contrived to•keep the latter in conversation over the porter until after twelYth o'elisek. 'At this time, being about to retire, the S:CWatti said to informant, " Now I 'have got you ; you have been tippling until after tcrielve o'clock, and I can prove it." The Magistrates inquired what the general character of the formant Was. Several witnesses said he was tem; perate and prudent. The 'Magistrates were of opinie,n that there was no just ground for expel. ling'Kensley. On the other hand, they censure(' the itiforneant for having consented to visit the public-.house at all. They ordered the informant to be reinstated in the Society, and that all ar rears due from the period of his unjust expasio6 be paid him. QUEEN-SQUARE.
