and complimentary touts having been dispoted of, the
question of the taxes farmers have to pay ceme under
' consideration. —Mr. Reader thought it behov. d them
all to look to their interests, for whereas in 1861 the
poor rates and county rat', of the country amounted
to only a trifle over £5,500,000 with wheat at 66e. a
quarter, in 1866 they found those mt.. had incressed
by something like a half, and were now considerably
more than £9,500,000. He saw no reason why rates for
such purposes should not be levied on property
generally, instead of on land alone -Omar, hurl. —Mr.
Robert Damen had that day had put into his
hand a circular from the "Somerset Chamber of
Agriculture and County Association of ratepayers
for the removal of the present unfair exemption
from poor-rates of incomes arising from per-
sonal property." Those in Somerset, like them-
selves, generally complained that the rates had very
largely increased with n the bet few years. and felt
that they ought to have some remedy, or at any rate
some means of knowing what their complaint was—a
knowledge which be thought Agricultui ists did not
generally possess—(a laugh, and hur). 1 hose gentlemen
in Somerset proposed that they should have • Chamber

had issued a circular to that eff•ot, and he need only to
mention the names of gentlemen whom they all knew
well, and who were taking an active part in the move-
ment (Ur Comp Andrews, Mr. John Truk, and Pro-
fessor Buckman) to assure the me- ting that they are
men who understand the business, and who are in
earnest in the matter—(applaus ) Their object was to
watch over the way in which the at., are expended

Till OLIIIILINWILL INQUEST.

The inquest was resumed on Friday for the third
time, when a *Knees identified Timothy Lientond as
the man who brought the barrel on the truck to the
prison well, and another witness stated hi! brbef that
William Desmond was the man who fired it. On the
other hand another witness said he was quite positive
that the rniui who fired the barrel was not among the
pri.ners now in custody. One of the prison warders
stated that a ball was found on the afternoon of the
explosion in ths yard in which Burke was exercised,
and that %Ore was seen leaning against the wall,
pr.tending to remove a stone from his boot, the
int•renne being thst some communication had been
made between him and some one outside by means of
the ball. The coroner maid that fresh light was being
thrown upon the affair at every sitting, and the issue
might be to reveal the machine 7 of a regular plot.
After some oonversat.on the inquiry was win
adjourned to Friday next, when it was intimated it
would finish.

THE QUEEN'S HIGHLAND JOURNAL'

The 'spec- tation excited when the Queen's first
work wee published, of another volume which
should desert.* the Highland life of her Majesty and
the Prince Cono.ri is now gratified In the volume
just issued we have the avowed work of the Queen
writing in her prooer person.
The Diary contains no references to political
questiors, and is mainly conGned to a natural and
picturesque chronicle of her Majeety's journeys in
England. Scotland, Ireland, and the Channel latitude
—a diary of the life of the Queen shared with the
deceased Prince and hie children. It opens at the
date of her Msjeety's first visit to Scotland on the
29th August, IM2; and it is a notable thing to see
with what pains Mer Majesty inscribes the list of
the vessels of war and pleasure which accompanied
her. " Queen of the Sea" albeit, and attended by
a phalanx of her fighting ships, she frankly conferees
that "the sea was rough towards evening, and I was
very ill ;" and she naturally blames her brother
potentate, Neptune, considering that "we had
only been going three knots in the night, and were
still fifty mile. from St. Abb's Head." "From my
cabin," she adds, " I °sold see Ferns Island, with
Grace Darling's lighthouse on it." Brave, good
Grace was lying dead when the ship sailed past, and
she knee, in this world, that the Queen of
England had got op from her yea-couch to look at
the stormy ruck where the north country fisher-girl
lived who relied her life for the poor tailors and
puwengers of the Forfarshire.
We soon come to a meotion of that name which
occurs so often, and no element in the book will he
more interesting, or more thoroughly understood
amongst us than that earnest, yet unstudied, that
abiding, yet
Lb. firm home of the land. Her Majesty waa much
