The thermometer at the Royal Humane Society's re ceiving-house in Hyde Park during Sunday night rose from 16 deg. to 22 deg., showing only 10 deg. of frost. At 9 yesterday morning the mercury rose to 30, being only 2 deg. below freezing point, but at noon the glass pointed at 37-5 deg. above frost. The barometer in dexed 29'66. The wand was east, and the weather was overcast, with snow and sleet. Every precautionary weft. sure was adopted by the Royal Humane Society to pre vent persons from venturing upon the ice in the different royal parks, but several thousand persons, Dials and female, insisted upon going upon it, and several nearly lost their lives by so doing, as the following official re turns will show. THE SERPENTINE, AND HYDE PARE.— The banks on each side of this river yesterday were densely crowded by the members of the nobility, gentry, and the general public, whilst the carriage roads were crowded by the rich equipages of the aristocracy. Upwards of 5,000 persons ventured upon the ice iu this river, and several parties amused themselves for hours in cutting out various de vices upon the ice, but the crowd congregated near the best performers caused the ice to break, and the conse quence was that a gentleman named Dowell, who caine from Bromley, in Kent, to enjoy a day's skating, broke through the ice, and, together with a friend who accom panied him, became immersed in 12 feet of water at the east end of the river. Fortunately the persons were rescued by William C ox, one of the Royal Hu mane Society's icemen, by means of the breaker ladders. They were removed to the receiving -house, and after some time they were able to go home. During the afternoon the ice commenced breaking up, owing to the thaw set• ting in so rapidly, and by the persuasion of Mr. Super intendent Willia ms several thousands left off skating and sliding; hut even as late as 8 o'clock last night a great number insisted upon remaining, and in the event of the frost continuing they stated that they intended to have a grand pyrotechnic display and midnight match. THE LONG WATER IN KENSINGTON-GARDENS. —On each side of this ornamental water, yesterday, were seve• ral thousand members of the nobility, whilst 2,000 dis ported themselves upon the ice, including several mem bers of the Skating Club. A great deal of excellent skating lasted for hours; but whilst some parties wore cutting out a variety of serpents and other figures the spectators so crowded round the artists as to cau e the ice to give way, and 11 persons became immersed in seven feet of water. Mr. Walker, of 16, Norfolk-cres cent, was rescued by Iceman Griffin with the sledge, at some risk, and the others got out were able to go to their respective homes. THE ROUND POND, KENSINGTON-GARDENS. The sliders and skaters upon this pond, yesterday, anaountt-d to 1,500, but no immersion of any consequence occurred Mr. Wilson, a eon of Capt. Wilson, of 83, Bainbrid ge . terrace, however, fell on the ice and put his shoulder out ofjoint. He was picked up by Joseph Knight, one of the icemen, who placed him on the sledge and took him ashore, when he was conveyed by some gentlemen to his home. A drover lad, who was engaged to drive a portion of the cattle that belonged to Missenden, was celled as a witness on his behalf, and he stated tbat on the morning of the 9th November he found one more beast in the drove than he bad placed in the field to pasture on the previous night. The Recorder summed up the evidence with great minuteness, and the jury retired about 6 o'clock. They were in deliberation nearly two hours, when they returned into court and put some questions to the learned judge as to certain points of the evidence, and then again retired to their room. At ten o'clock they were again brought into the court, and they then stated that they bad agreed so far as Tornkins was concerned, and their vezdict was that he was guilty upon the second count of receivingthe heifer, knowing it to have been stolen. Sp.—lndeed, I do advocate it. You have required it of the poor law unions, have you not ? Ch. of Ex.—Yes. Sp.—And of the municipal corporations, the savings banks, the prisons, the police, the county courts, the Court of Chancery, &c. Ch. of Ex.—Very true; but consider the different na ture of their expenditure. You would not expose to the, impertinent curiosity of the public gaze the amount re ceived by this or that official, disclosing the secrets of the various departments ? It would be striking a blow at the roots of oar political institations. Sp.—l know it would, and shall take steps for promul gating my views on the subject. Ch. of Ex. (in extremity of his agitation forgetting the spiritual nature of his visitant)—l pray you, good sir, do not act with precipitation in this matter ; I will speak to Lord P—n ; a place at the Treasury Board could not he more worthily occupied than by yourself.

Ch. of Ex. (awaking to a sense of his position)--True, I forgot myself for a moment ; a dignity of that kind would be somewhat out of place. Sp.--Of course it would.

That a great deal of distress, however, existed there was no doubt. Crabbe and two of the others said that they went to the workhouse with many others on Thursday last, with an understanding on the previous day that a rota of the board was to be in attendance, in order that their com plaints might be made known by them, but that they went and did not see the members of the board. Mr. Tubbs said that he had made known to the Board of Guardians all that had taken place at this court on Wednesday last, when numerous complaints were made, the man Crabbe being at the head of the party ; and that the rota present, atter bearing the whole of the facts, passed a resolution to the effect that they had full confi dence in him (Mr. Tubbs), and that they left the matter in his hands, being satisfied that he, in the exercise of his discret on, would ant properly in the responsible situation which be held. Mr. Tubbs added that on Thursday last he relieved no fewer than [2,053, and on the next Saturday 2,200. Many of the applicants who were strong, single men had been offered work, but they refused to perform it, and it would really be a robbery on the ratepayers to give assistance to such persons, more especially when they came mixed up with such a large body of others to make a claim upon the parish. Such a state of things prevented him (Mr. Tubbs) from transacting properly his business at the house. With regard to seeing and relieving parties well known to be i❑ distress, and who came to receive money at his house regularly, the interruptio❑ to his business since the present movement was great in the ex treme. If the men, who had come in a body to the court, with their banner held up, as it had been stated, parad ing through the streets, would attend at the workhouse on the next morning (this day) their cases would be in dividually gone int.,. Mr. Broughton remarked that he was extremely sorry that so much distress existed among the working classes at the present inclement season, and advised the men to go to the workhouse at the time appointed by Mr. Tubbs, and conduct themselves there in a civil and peaceable manner. 51—Morning.

(W.) The Recorder then inquired of the jury whether there was any reasonable probability of their agreeing upon a verdict as to the other prisoner t The Foreman said they were not at present all of one opiniOn, but he thought that in about an hour they might agree. The Recorder said, that although it was late he would willingly wait another hour, if they were likely to come to a decision within that period. The jury then again withd rew , and at five minutes past 11 they again came int o court, and upon the Re corder inquiring if they had agree d upon their verdict as to the prisoner Missenden, they st a t e d that they had not, and there was no likelihood of their doing so. The Recorder said that under tkese circumstances he had no alternative but to adjourn the Court to the fol lowing morning. The Foreman of the jury said that he really felt very ill, and he wished to know whether he was to be kept without food or nourishment of any kind for so many hours ! Explanation of Table.--The life income of 1501. of a per son aged 60 is worth 1,3411., and he is taxed on that valise at the rate of 14s. 11d. per cent. As, however, men are generally incapacitated for active exertion before death, a column has been added, with the value of incomes at various ages, determinable at fire years before death (which period is assumed as the average period of incapa city) ; the income of the same person, aged 60, will, upon this assumption, be worth 1,1641., and he will be taxed at the rate of 17s. 2d. per cent. ; a similar income in the Funds (see Table I.) is taxed at ss. 4d. per cent. By the above Tables I. and 11. the values of incomes for periods certain, and also of precarious incomes, may be approximately ascertained, and the effects of the Income Tax upon them may be contrasted. Ch. of Ex.—But, sir, "what's in a name ? a rose," you know, "by any other name will smell as sweet." Sp.—Tou will never make your tax sweet, call it by what name yen will it stinks in the public, nostrils. But let that pass; only we will, if you please, call it by its right name, " a Tax on Profits." Ch. of Ex.--But is it not in fact a property tax ? Sp.—No, sir. Is your brain property. Is ingenuity property ? Professional skill, literary excellence, plodding well directed industry, are these property ? Ch. of Ex.—No, sir, not in a commercial sense; but we tax property also. Sp.—You do, the profits arising from property, but very gingerly. You lay burtheus, heavy and grievous to be borne, on the profits of industry, but property hardly touches them with one of its fingers. of Ex.—Will you explain to me how the Property and In—l mean, tax on Profits does this ? Sp.—Listen, then, and I will instruct you. The Income Tax, as you call it, is a masterpiece of statecraft, originally invented by the late William Pitt ; it is a contrivance of surpassing ingenuity for extracting the largest possible pro portion of money from the pockets of the industrious and intelligent creators of wealth, in order that a proportionate immunity from taxation may be enjoyed by the possessors of wealth ; it is a tax upon the working bees of the social hive for the relief of the drones. The deep ingenuity of the contrivance consists of two things ; first, the artfulness by which it deludes its victims into the belief that t hey are taxed equally or proportionately with other classes of society; an d , secondly, the facility with which it extracts the m oney f rom th e poc k ets o f v arious classes in precisely the inverse ratio of the a mount of p roperty possessed. In these respects I can only compere it to a hat which travellers wrote of in my day as unconscio inf esting sornii southern climes, whi c h li g htl y f anne d eke its wings into a sooth ing sense of security and repose stream the as object f rom w k om i t extracted in full current of life, (The Chancellorexhibits signs of impatience and dissent.) (continuing.) —Do you posssess the works of my dis ting Smiuth ? ished coteuiporary and p resent coadjutor, Adam Ch. of Ex.—l have his works, and frequently consult them. Ch. of Ex.—Assuming, however, that a tax by way o substitute should be required, what tax do you recom mend ? Sp.—A Property Tax. Ch. of Ex.—But have you not demonstrated the diffi culty of levying such a tax fairly ? Sp.—Not at all. I required you to demonstrate that your Income Tax was, in one sense a Property Tax; not an equal tax on the value of property, but a graduated sliding scale Property Tax, the gradation of the taxation being in a ratio inverse to the amount of the property. Confound ing the produce of skill and labour with the interest aris ing from realised property, and then ignoring all those differences in the value of property arising from the dura tion of the income taxed, I endeavoured to convince you that your tax was a masterpiece of injustice. What I now propose as a property tax is a very different thing ; by that term I mean an equal tax on the value of all realisable property in the country, so that if 1001. shall pay 11., then 1,0001. will pay 10/., and 10,00 W. will pay 1001. This tax being levied upon fair principles, there could be no diffi culty in making all contribute; whereas you now exempt a large proportion of the property of the country, viz., that which belongs to owners of property up to about 3,0301. in value*—while you inflict the tax in its moat oppres sive form upon men living by labour of h an d or b ra i n, and who have no t 101. worth of property in the world. Ch. of Ex.—Bat such a tax will drive property from the country. Sp.—lt cannot drive away the land, or houses, or facto ries, or funds, or mines, or railway s ; such fears are alto gether delusive. Let me ask, however, have yo u uo f ears lest British industry, skill, and enterprise should seek more congenial treatment than they receive under your paternal management ? What would be the value of land, where would the wealth of England be, or how would you raise your taxes, if British skill and enterprise should make themselves wings and fly away ? The Recorder said he was very sorry that the jury should be so inconvenienced, but the law gave him no alternative. If there was any chance of their agreeing he would wait any reasonable time. The Foreman said he did not think there was any chance of their coming to a decision. Ten of the jury were of one opinion ; but all the arguments used by them only appeared to convince the other two that they were in the right. The Recorder said he had no right, by law, to do more than to ask if they had agreed upon their verdict, and as they were not likely to agree, the case Haut be adjourned. The jury were then locked up for the night. - - NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) Henry Myatt, 29, clerk, was indicted for embezzling sums of money belonging to John James Noyes, his master, amounting in the whole to about 601. Mr. Giffard prosecuted. The prosecutor is a tea-dealer in Finsbury, and pri soner had been his traveller for fro years, at a salary of 1/. 4s. weekly and 31. s month. The connection which prisoner had th e managemen t of was am ongs t coffee house-keepers, an d th e sums i n question had been paid to him on account of his master. The prisoner had also in several instances robbed the prosecutor of parcels of grocery, by bringing home fictitious orders. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sen tenced to 12 months' imprisonment. George Hall, a boy 13 years of age, pleaded guilty to having unlawfully wounded Moo Wolff. It appeared that prisoner bat' insulted prosecutor, man grown, who boxed his ears for so doing, whereupon he stabbed him in two places, the latter wound inflicted being prevented from entering the abdomen by the inter vention of the short r ib. The Common Se rgeant sa i d that the case was a very bad one, and the only thing in the prisoner's favour was his extreme youth, otherwise the sentence would have been very severe, as the Cou r t as determined to do alt in its power to check the practice of using the knife. Sentence, 3 months' imprisontOent and hard labour. Mr. Tubbs said that in the event of their acting up to his Worship's advice relief would be afforded, more espe cially to those who had wives and families. THE REGENT S-PARIL—A vast number of persona of persons of both sexes proceeded to this park at an early hour in the morning, to witness or to enjoy the exhila rating «xercise of skating. No accident worthy of notice occurred during the day. The Victoria Park had many hundr e d v i s i tors, who disported themselves upon the ice, and several "persons got severely cut about the head, but no immersion of any serious character occurred. CLAPHAM PARK.--The ice in this park was in a Toy firm condition, and several hundreds amtred themytelvt upon it during the day ; and the only accidrnts that occurred were to two gentlemen, who had their legs broken by being tripped up upon the ice. At half-past ten o'clock last night the thermometer began rapidly to fall, indicating that the frost was likely to continue. BIRTH'S. O A BOX. The large assembly then quietly dispersed from the precincts of the court, and Mr. Broughton proceeded with the ordinary business of the day. On the 2d inst., at 47, Upper Baker street, Regent'e park, the wife of Semi. Heath Head, Esq., solicitor. On the Ist inst., at Peckham, the wife of Mr. J. B. Haycraft, of the Unity General Assurance Association. THAMES.—John Rano, an ablebodied man, aged 49 (as stated in the police-sheet, but who did not look so old), was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with begging. The prisoner was described as a labourer, of No. 6, Love-lane, Sbadwell. John Bivand, a police constable, No. 17 K, stated that be saw the prisoner and 12 or 13 others each carrying a new shovel, soliciting alms in Stepney. The prisone . r went into a butcher's shop in Be dford-street, while Ids companions s urrounded the house, and the raster of the shop gave him a penny. He t hen took the prisoner into custody. Ar. Yardley said this was the commencement of the week, and the prisoner bad been very properly taken into custody. If the prisorierand his companions went about In large bodies soliciting alms, or singly, they were liable to be committed to prison as rogues and vagabonds. The conduct of the prisoner w as very much aggravated b y his going about with others in a body. That looked very much like rotiandation, and a person who would refuse to give alms when solicited by one man would most likely, when 12 or thirteen sur rounded him, submit to force. He would tall the pri isoner, and through him his fellow-inen, that proceedings like those could not be tolerated ; and that if he found that large bodies of men went about soliciting alms armed with shovels, or any other implement of t ra d e , h e would punish them severely, and commit them for a long term to the House of Correction and tck hood labour on the treadmill. The magistrate, observing the prisoner about to speak, said he knew what he was going to say. He knew there was a good deal of distres , consequent principally on the want of employment, in existence. Some of that distress was inevitable, and a good deal of it was caused by the improvidence of the labouring classes, who would not lay by for a rainy day. He had only to say that any repetition of this would be severely OF A DAUGHTER O❑ the Ist inst., at 146, Regent-street, the wife of Alf* Knight Williams, Esq. On the Ist inst., at Highgate, Mrs. E.

In commercial language, it is the discounted value of a future payment or payments. Thus 100/. to be received at the end of a year is worth now 100/.,minus the interest of 1001.
