GREAT FIRE IN MARKET-STREET, MANCHESTER • ENTIRELY CONSUMING A LARGE S Q UAR E OF `WARE HOUSES, OFFICES, AND SHOPS. IN the last great Fire in George-street, Manchester, nine large Houses had their Books burned in Iron Safes, Closets with Iron Doors, Wrought Iron Fireproof (?) Safes, &c. &c. &c. ; and again on the above recent occasion, a great number of parties have suffered the same calamity. The only Safe which brought its contents uninjured out of the bunum: mass being the one aliwded to below. " Manchester, August 13th, 1847. " GENTLEMEN In the late Fire in Market-street, which entirely gutted the entire block of buildings of widen my Ware house formed part, I have sincere pleasure in informing you that my books, together with a quantity of valuable papers, watches, &c., were preserved uninjured in one of your Fire resisting Safes, which I strongly recommend to the public. " I am your obedient servant, "THOMAS HAIGH, Woollen Merchant, " New Brown-street and Market-street. " Messrs. Milner and Son." The outside of this Safe was partially melted: the contents inside unsinged, being . steamed (boiled instead of burned) by the evaporating principle of the Safe. Near to it a large Wrought Iron Fireproof (?) chambered Safe, full of valuable Books and Documents before the Fire, was found to contain nothing but tinder and ashes after it In the numerous accidental Fires and experimental tests which Milners' Safes have been exposed to—every description of Safe in use—Fireproof (so called) or otherwise have been burnt out beside them, confirming the recommendation of the scientific and practical authorities who have tested them, and the Patentees during seven years' active working of their patent, on a rapidly extending scale, have spared no pains nor cost in effecting improvements, by which they are enabled to pledge themselves at all times to supply the most complete and secure depositories for Books, Documents, and Valuables ; in. eluding the strongest Wrought-iron Safes, Closets, and Doors in the World, lined with their unequalled Fire-resisting Cham bers. Out of upwards of 20.000 of their Safes in use amongst the Manufacturing and Commercial Houses of Great Britain— the class best able to appreciate their value—numerous cases of exposure to accidental fire have occurred, from which Thomas Milner and Son select the following as instances, in which they are of opinion that no other Safe than their own would have preserved its contents unburnt. Fire at Mr. J. Blackaller's Ship and Chandlery Store, Spar ling-street, Liverpool; a strong and fierc Fire; Safe most severely burnt outside; contents unsinged. Fire at Messrs. J. and W. Walkers', the extensive builders, Birkenhead; buildings entirely gutted, everything burnt in them, including the contents of large Iron Safe and drawers, standing besides Milners'; the contents of Milners' uninjured, and in use now. Fire at Messrs. Garniss and Co.'s, Park-lane; a very strong fire; again the contents of Milners' Safe the only thing saved en the premises. Fire at Plimsaul Brothers', of Plymouth ; a very extensive. and destructive fire; a large Iron Safe covered with brickwork with double Iron doors burnt out; Milners' entirely preserving its contents. Fire in Queen-street, Glasgow; a great number of Safes and Closets burnt out; no books saved throughout the buildings excepting Messrs. S. R. and Thomas Browns', in Milners' Safe.

Unlike any other Stock J., M., and Co. have had the oppor tunity of submitting to their Friends, the Departments are less numerous, but the character and style of the Goods much more costly and elegant, doing credit to the taste which selected them for that superior description of trade to which " Bold street" lays claim. The present depressed state of almost every business, whe ther foreign or domestic, is unfortunately too well known ; to force, therefore, such Goods as these on the market must ne cessarily entail a very serious sacrifice, as will be seen by the Prices at which the whole of this Stoc 'll be Sold.

RULE Xll.—That an annual subscription, of not less than five shillings, constitute membership; subscribers and donors of one guinea and upwards will be eligible for the Council. RULE Xlll.—That no question of party politics shall be en tertained at any meeting, or any subject not having immediate relation to the oNects of this Confederation. Recognising to its fullest extent, as the promoters of this In stitution do, the justice of the principle so emphatically enunciated in the motto which they have selected to convey to the public an idea of their object, they express what they know to be the universal opinion, that the period has now arrived when the establishment of a society, having for its purpose the more equitable adjustment of national and local taxation, has become absolutely necessary. That the trading community forms a large majority of the electoral body, is a fact beyond question ; it is equally true, that, through the want of a proper organization, calculated to represent and enforce their views, their interests are neglected and sacrificed. It is the object of this Institution to concentrate the power of carrying out the declared principles of this Confederation. whereby its members will be relieved from the great dispro portion of taxation imposed upon them by the present system. As regards the question of local taxation, unfortunately there is not a tradesman who is not familar with its oppressive character, the local taxes having now become an evil of such magnitude, that a passive acquiescence in their exaction be comes culpable. On the present principle of rating, the trader phrsuing his business under severe losses, even verging on in solvency, is called upon to pay the same amount as if in the most prosperous circumstances ; added to this, there is the certainty of increased and additional rates for sanatory and other purposes. Regarding the question of national taxation, it need scarcely be said that the principle on which the revenue is at present levied is most iniquitous in itself, and bears with severe pressure on the trading community. The labour and industry of the country are taxed, while real property and accumulated wealth pass comparatively free. The customs; excise, stamp duties, and assessed taxes make the revenue for the year within a trifling amount ; these taxes fall chiefly upon the middle and operative classes, and are a burden on the skill and industry of the country. It is time that the trading community of this country should take up a question of so serious importance; and in no town in the kingdom could an agitation originate with promise of more happy results than in Liverpool, where there is a power which must command the attention of every town in the kingdom, and lead to their co-operation in a struggle for the more equitable adjustment of taxation. The Confederation claims the active aid and sympathy of all honest and philanthropic men. Setting aside the abstract in justice involved in the present principle of taxation, the evils consequent on it are so great that it must be considered no thing short of a legalized spo'iation, producing poverty and crime. By the annual drain of between sixty and seventy mil lions of capital frqm the re-productive classes,—that being the united amount °tithe national revenue and the local rates levied throughout the kingdom,—the main-spring of employment for the poor is paralyzed, and the home trade materially injured ; as a consequence, our workhouses will not contain the desti tute, or our gaols those whom ignorance and want have forced into felony. Looking at the subject in a commercial point of view, it is clear that the large proportion of taxation which is thrown on labour in this country acts as a bounty to foreigners for im proving their knowledge in arts and manufactures, and com peting with us in foreign markets, and thereby seriously inter feres with, and must ultimately annihilate our export trade; also, in a social point of view, the violation of all justice, in volved in the fact of taxing the poor and exempting the rich, of bearing down those who are struggling for existence, and ex empting inconve nience, . those who could bear the burden without is calculated to produce in the minds of the people an indifference to the precepts of morality and religion, and con tempt for the laws which they are expected to maintain and obey. _ _ The duty of this Confederation will be to watch all measures, parliamentary and local, which may be brought forward in any way bearing on the interests of the reproductive classes, to op pose such as may appear injurious, to promote such as may appear b.riPfirt.l, And to nriainnte cucti as may be deewea de sirable, without regard to political parties or distinctions. To effect the important objects of this Confederation, the promoters earnestly call upon all classes to unite with them in this noble and humane undertaking, believing that, on the suc cessful carrying out of these principles, the religious, civil, and commercial well-being of the nation depend, and, with cordial co-operation, the result must be the prosperity and happiness of the people. REPORT TO THE COMMITTEE Formed to establish a National Confederation for obtaining a more direct and Equitable Adjustment of Taxation, from their Sub-Committee, appointed December 27, 1847. Your Sub-Committee, in presenting you with a prospectus, which they were appointed to prepare, feel it desirable that they should explain the considerations which have influenced them in drawing it up upon the comprehensive plan now submitted for your approval. Your Sub-Committee, at their first meeting, found it essen tial, before proceeding with the prospectus, to examine into, as carefully as time would permit, the local grievances of which the confederated body has to complain, and which so seriously affect them at the present time. In pursuing this object, your Sub-Committee soon became impressed with the fact, that the principal cause of our present grievances has its foundation in a partial and unequal system of national and local t axat i on; t h ey, therefore, immediately applied themselves to collect statistical information bearing upon our local taxation, which they respectfully submit for your inspection, from which it appears the tradesman and artizan are made to pay more than five times their just proportion of the local taxation. They were thus led to perceive that, although this injustice of which they have to complain was strictly local, yet the same system of injustice existed to an equal extent in every town in the kingdom, under the autho rity and sanction of acts of parliament, and could only be removed by a national remedy effected by the co-operation of the constituency of the country. Your Sub-Committee, further pursuing their investigation, found that this disproportionate system of raising the amount, required for local expenditure was not an exception, but is the general principle adopted by Government, as will be evident by reference to the subjoined returns, and by which, in conjunction with our local statistics, your Sub-Committee have been guided. In concluding their labours, your Sub-Committee found some difficulty in suppressing every expression of feeling excited by the contemplation of a principle so much at variance with even handed justice, and cannot but feel certain that it only requires these facts to be duly examined, to produce a disposition that would soon change so oppressive a system. LOCAL STATISTICS. From an extract of the parish books of Liver pool, according to the rating of 1847, it appears that twenty-five of the most respectable bankers, merchants, and brokers, whose average income cannot be estimated at less than e 1 moo per annum each, are rated for local rates which, at a rate of ss. in the pound, would give £685, or, per individual 27 8 0 It also - appears that twenty-five hotel-keepers and retail traders, of the first respectability, whose incomes may be estimated at £lOOO per annum, are rated for local rates which, at a rate of ss. in the pound, gives £2340, or, per individual Had the retail trader been assessed in proportion to his means at the same ratio as the merchant, he should only have paid annually 14 7 he has, therefore, been assessed in excess annually deprived, by the present iniquitous system, to the extent of or had these bankers and merchants paid in the same proportion to their means as the retail traders, they should each have contributed 9,360 0 0 93 12 0 .'9O 17 5 2,271 15 5 . . .036 0 0 thus showing that each of these parishioners has been annually exempt from their fair proportion of the local burdens to the extent of 2908 12 0 or, in the aggregate 427,715 0 0 NATIONAL STATISTICS. According to the census of 1841, the entire male population of Great Britain, of twenty years and upwards, amounted to .. 4,761,091 Divided, according to occupations, as follows : Farmers, graziers, nurserymen, and florists 274,305 Farm bailiffs and stewards, gardeners, and labourers 923,851 Agriculturists -1,198,156 Employed in manufactures and making ma nufacturing machinery• Employed retail trade or in handicraft, as masters or workmen PROFESSIONAL.
