The worshipful the Mayor has consented to lay the first stone of the new church in Great Howard-street, beyond the Borough Gaol, on Monday next, the 25th, and we understand that the procession will leave the Town-hall shortly after eleven o'clock on that day. THEATRICALS.—We perceive that the horses have been dis pensed with at the Royal Amphitheatre ; and we understand that it is the intention of Mr. Davidge, the manager, to intro duce performances of the regular drama instead of them. In cleansing the house of this, we hope that he will also remove some other impurities which are as offensive to good taste as they are to decoium. We now particularly allude to the double entendres which we have heard there, and we therefore most particularly recommend the manager to insist on his clowns 4- Saying no more than is set down for them." When he has made and rigidly enforced this decree, we have no doubt that the house will be supported as so good a company deserves.— That fascinating son g stress and very able actress, Mrs. Way lett, takes her benefit this evening. Since our last publication we have heard her singing, and we cannot imagine any thing more exquisitely beautiful than her " Meet me by Moonlight, ' and " Kate Learney." Her styie of singing is peculiarly her own, in which she is without an equal. We hope that her benefit be well attended, and that we shall, ere long, have the picasure of announcing her return.—We understand that Air. Miine:-, the treasuier of this theatre, and the author of va rious dramatic pieces, takes his first benefit in the course of a few days, and we recommend him to the patronage of the NEW METHOD 01' EXHIBITING MAPS.--A very ingenious machine for exhibiting maps and plans, invented by Mr. Dea con, of London, has recently been Introduced in the Exchange, looms, and at the Town-hall. The maps are made to revolve ott a number of rollers by the action of a handle, in such a manner that fifty or a hundred maps, when pasted together, may be:inspected in a few Minutes. By means of this machine, a whole Atlas of maps may be placed in a very small space against the wall of a counting-house or library ; they may all be kept perfectly clean, and any part of any ot them may, in a moment, be brought to the level of the eye. In one instance as many as seven hundred maps have been thus exhibited. CORONER'S INQUEST.,—Yesterday an inquest was held at the Sessions-house on the bOdy of a woman named Welsh, before JamesXspinall, Esq. Several witnesses were examined, and one of them, a man, named Gatney, swore that the husband of the deceased.had acknowledged to him that he had treated her with great violence. Several witnesses were examined; and as the inquest was adjourned to this day we do not deem it proper to give the particulars of the evidence pending the inquiry. COMMUNICATION BETWEEN LIVERPOOL AND SHEFFIELD.—A memorial to the Postmaster-General, signed by a number of the principal merchants of this place, praying for increased facility in their cor res p o nd ence w ith Li ver p oo l. had recently been forwarded to Mr. John Parker, and he immediately waited upon Sir Francis Freeling, and we are happy to say his state ments have been eminently successful, in inducing the Post master-General to make such arrangements as will enable our townsmen to obtain their Liverpool letters at nine o'clock in the morning instead of four in the afternoon. The new arrange ment will commence about the 6th April.—Sheffield Courant. LIVE!: POOL LICENSED VICTUALLERS' SOCIETY.—This Soci ety, which was originally formed for the purpose of opposing " rhe Retail Beer Bill," has partially changed its character, and its funds are now accumulating for the purpose of reliev ing the distressed widows and orphans of any of its members. We have seen the second annual report of the committee, containing the names of 113 subscribers; and we know of no object more laudable or praiseworthy, that any class can asso ciate for. With great pleasure we make the following extract from the report:—" The state of human affairs is such, as to shield no one, however opulent, from being reduced to wretch edness and want; and it therefore behoves every individual whilst ability enables him, not only to contribute to the allevi ation of the sufferings of others, - but especially to make a provision for himself and offspring, it being weal known to us all, that, "rhe many may be able to assist one, where one cannot relieve the many.' We wish The Liverpool Licensed Victuallers' Society every success, and we most sincerely hope, that the infant charity will be suckled by donations from the opulent and charitable of the other classes of this place. A RADICAL PAUPER.—On Thursday last, a pauper, named Joseph Newton, applied to the magistrates at the islew Bailey, for an order to compel the overseers of Chorlton-upon-Medlock, to relieve him; being in a state of destitution, and unable to maintain himself by his trade of a wheelwright. He said he had been to the select vestry, who refused to grant him any re lief. Mr. Scott, the overseer of the township, in answer to the application, informed the bench that Newton was a notorious radical, who would not work, although he was quite able to earn his own livelihood, and who thought - he had a right to live upon the public in idleness. As a proof of this Mr. Scott added, that he offered to give him 40s. for repairing a mangle, which a joiner had proffered to do for 255.; and he had given him his choice whether he would accept thi s s u m f or the job, or one shilling per day, payable every night until it was completed.— He refused both offers, and on the last board day sent a note to the vestry, couched in the following terms:—"The bread of the needy is their life, and he that deprives them thereof is a man- of blood."—Under these circumstances the magistrates very properly refused to interfere, and Newton, finding he could do no better, agreed to accept the work offered by Mr. Scott.— . .Manchester Herald. SHOCKING ACCIDENT AT EDINBURGH.—An accident of the most frightful nature occurred on Saturday last, at No. 16, Pi cardy-pace, Edinburgh, the residence of the late Lord Eldin. His 'lordship's valuable collection of paintings have been for some days selling off by Mr. Winstanley, who had been sent there at great expense for the purpose ; and upon the day in question the company, to the amount of nearly WO, were assem bled in the back, or principal drawing-room. A picture of Te niers had just been knocked down at 60 guineas, when a tre mendous crash was heard, and three-fourths of the floor of the room fell with its load of persons into the back dining-room be neath. To all the sensation was as if the house was falling,— The more fortunate, who were preserved on the floor remain ing, naturally took towards the windows, the breaking of which acted as a powerful ventilator, and allowed the dust which rose in one dense cloud, to escape. Had not this been effected the consequences must have been more awful than they were, for those who descended, and were unhurt, described the sensation as that of immediate suffocation. The dining-room below was locked, and contained the reliques from Herculaneum and other curiosities of his lordship's collection. The door was burst open from the outside by several gentlemen, and it was impossible to re cognize a single individual as he was got out of the room so Compietely were they disfigured by the dust and lime. Those who were able to move haring got out, a distressing spectacle presented itself to such as entered to give assistance. Mr. Alexander Smith, of Moray-place, the head of the respectable firm of Smith and Kinnears, bankers, was found quite dead, having, it is supposed, been crushed, by the chest of drawers which was placed in the drawing-room to rest the exposed pic ture upon. Sir Archibald Campbell, of Succoth, Lord Moncrief, Mr. IVay, Mr. Duff, Mr. Walter M'Culloch, Mr. D. Smith, and Earl Monteath, were among those who went down, but were only slightly injured. The others, who were more injured, it is not .proper to name, because there are many r e p or t s i n circulation as to the extent of their bruises and effects. They do pot exceed in number nine or ten, some of whom are cer tainly shockingly mutilated. The extent of Mr. Winstailley's wounds was not accurately ascertained, but they . are believed not to be serious. The floor descended in one piece, or more might have suffered. THE AFRICAN EXPEDITION.—The John Dougan, White master, is arrived from Africa, and brought letters from the Liverpool mercantile expedition to the Niger, under the direc tion cf Mr. Richard Lander. That enterprising traveller reached Cape Coast Castle on Sunday, the 7th of October last, in 72 days, from Milford. The vessels had called at the Isle de Los, Sierra Leone, and other places, for the purpose.of pro curing supplies of fuel for the two steamers. Several cases of fever had occurred, but no deaths in consequence had taken place. At Cape Coast every attention had been shown by Governor Maclean, and the several officers there. Mr. Lan der has been so fortunate as to procure Pascoe and the other na tives who had accompanied him in his perilous undertaking to trace the mysterious Niger to its termination, and these per sons are to proceed with him He has also been able to engage two individuals from the Eboe country, one of whom is the son of a King in that district, and both of them not only speak but read English, and must, therefore, be of great utility. The iron steam-boat Alburka is a most useful vessel, remarkably cool and dry, and sails exceedingly well. The expedition had experienced very bad weather, having been six weeks in the rainy season, with severe lightning, which run down the sides of the Alburka into the water, the iron acting as a conductor thereto. The ships were to sail from Cape Coast about the middle of October, and would not stop at any place, but pro ceed direct up the Rio Nunez into the Niger. We are happy to say that Mr. Lander was in excellent health, and very san guine of ultimate success. The next accounts must Le Lighly interesting and are anxiously looked for, TAXATION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STi) SlR,—The repeal of taxes is at present a favou with the public, and there are few of the multitude 0 daily presented to Parliament, that do not include a the repeal of some one or more of the sources of public but without reference to the national engagements 01 is pledged. Of the existing taxes, considered more or less obi those on houses and windows are among the most . They are represented as being unequal in their app oppressive on the middle classes; it therefore be able to inquire, and give consideration to the pres sity for their repeal. Society, as subject to taxation, may be considered ° into three distinct classes, all differently affected bl' cation ;—first, the wealthy, or such as are independe ° tune ;—next, the middle class, whose fortunes are no te to exempt them from either bodily or mental label lastly, the working class, who depend wholly on their' labour for their support. I think it must be admitted house and window taxes are so framed as to fall but the first of these classes,—heavily on the second, seldom, and then only in a very slight degree, a ffect The middle class, therefore, almost every where CO the injustice they suffer from unequal contribution. ij The principle of taxation i s cons id ere d to be found'. general protection received proportionably by the are taxed. The revenue is understood to be equalli proportion to the means of each contributor, and to t 4 applied for the benefit of the whole. Let us consider as respects the house and window taxes, this principle applied. That portion of society which is occupied in purs o dustry, whose means are moderate, and property gen sonal, resides in towns or villages, where the houses. long to those who occupy them ;—the rents paid proportion to the cost of building them, and as their increase in number, the scale of taxation rapidly asc On the other hand, the expensive and splendid d" the wealthy are their own property, built for comfort sonal gratification, without regard to cost; they are rarely, to be let for rent when not required for the their owners, and when so let, it is ou such low term' relation to their cost. A tradesman's house, which or nine hundred p oun d s , w ill rent for £so;—it is tas'l rate of rent, at the same per tentage with the dwellil rich, which, not bein g rente d , are va l ued for taxat t j proportion to their co s t o f t en or twenty t h ousand po l but at low valuations, such, as it is alleged, and ju• gards the fact, they would only bring if rented, perhl per annum. Thus, the house that costs £BOO, rent £7 ls. Bd. tax ; the mansion costs £20,000, valued ats the greater the cost, the lower the rental,) pays £l4 The scale under which the tax on windows is laid be also unequal in its application and pressure; it to a given point, within which the dwellings of the 0 classes are placed, and rises in a diminished degree 2 ' tulles to the mansions of the rich, until it react l point, when it ceases alt oge th er . 45 w i ndows pay tax ; 180 pays £46 lls. 3d., whereas, if the proper alike, the rate would be £63 75., whilst any given ber is not subject to additional tax. From these facts it appears that the industry of t it , man is taxed more heavily than the property of the 01 the principle of taxation applies to him in a lower rat gree, as the sources of his expenditure are within bid what property he may possess, generally personal,' more easily removed, and standing less in need of 1/ , than the real estates of the higher classes that cannot l and from which their incomes and influence are drill° The inequality and injustice of these taxes apr' l evident, and also of a nature not to admit of equality the house tax the rule adopted is the rate of rent, the b' of the middle classes, being built for profit, a re rer, whilst those of the rich, built for pleasure, and inted owner's sole occupation, are, for the reasons I have to susceptible of being brought within the just applican t ', rule. The window tax may be less objectionable on tbd as the scale might be amended, so as to ascend in th e gree to any given number; but in that case the pre: 6 ' cause windows to be closed up, or houses left und, The repeal of both taxes seems, therefore, to be w ell' the consideration of Parliament, as unsound in prO i unjust in application. These taxes produce a revenue of above two half;—their repeal would cause a deficiency that cool supplied by substituting some other of a less objectio racter, which in these times is not a matter of light tion. A property tax has many advocates; it cool adopted if apphed to income, and to be equally so, It elude the profits of all capital employed in comme and manufacture, as well as the fruits of professiod, although the rates levied on these sources might, more uncertain nature, be placed on a lower scale I arising from real property, the public funds, annul! gages, or others of a mo re cer t a i n character, set, st l uustrious classes would feel them heavily, whilst their able inquisitorial operation, calling often for disci explanations of the most painful nature, would lead vexation and frequent frauds for the purpose o f co and would thus hold out, as it were, a premium for It, therefore, appears to be alike impolitic, i m p r ach revolting to the feelings of Englishmen, to raise a pe venue from .a tax on income.
