I room TAX ABATMIENT.—It appears from a

perliamestary return inns& this day that, io the year ended
sth April last, there were 8,981 eases in which persons
having incomes between 1001. sod 2004 received back a
portion of the income tax, aa %hammiest provided by law.
The amount so refound was 15,5001. 156.8 d.
Tag ler or Eirrratern.—ln Yorkshire in no
previous year have @pastimes made better begs than during
Friday and Saturday. Young birds are plentiful and re-
markably fine, eclipsing the groom for quality, and some
coveys bare from 14 to 16 birds. The corn is all led or
Welted, and free acmes to all sorts of land was obtain.ble.
The great slaughter was done among the turnips. On Satur-
day the prices wen lower than for years peat, being Ss. to
2s. Gd. per brace. In Essex the coveys are reported to be
both numerous and strong, and late rains have produced
plenty of cover. In Norfolk the partridges are favourably
spoken of, but the stivemente made with regard to Philmont'
are not equally sanguine.
ROBBERY AT Asccrr.—At the Royal Hotel at
Ascot, on Thursday, it was discovered that a very daring
robbery had been mmitted in that establishment. Mr.
Softlaw, the proprietor, wording to his nasal custom, had
Mill to the fastening up of the promises about 11 o'clock on
Wednesday night, the hotel at the time being full of corn-
pony, among whom were Major• General Forster, Lady
Newry, the Dowager Lady Raglan, the Hon. Charlotte
Somerset, the Hos. Kate Somerset, Mr. Arthur Ward, &c.
The servants who got up first, shout 6 o'clock on Thursday
morning, did not notice anything remarkable about the
pleas, but at 8 o'clock,wben Mrs. Beldam came downstairs,
Ism attention was attracted by several articles lying about.
Onset these was a case which, with a half -burnt wax mod*
bad been placed in the corridor of the hotel. It turned
eat to be a trinket box, which had been takes from the
sitting-room occupied by Mr. A. Ward. From this a gold
pencil-case had been stolen. A barometer was next nu-
covered upon the stairs. It had been removed from Mr.
Ward's sitting-room, from which a despatch box, containing
valuable papera, 45/. note. and a purse with two sovereigns,
had been stolen. It was also discovered that IfejorGeno-
ral Forster's bedroom on. the ground floor had been entered
while the general was asleep, and that a gold watch, valued
at 704, presented by the Doke of Glocester, and bearing the
royal aruis ; • gold mid plating claim, to which • dog, with
five engraved stones end an uneisgrated one, was attached ;
and two gold pencil-cram me of which was • aouvoeir of Lord
Clyde, Mid been stolen from a table at the foot of his bed.
Information of the robbery was at awe sent to Mr. In-
spector Reece, and Mr. Ward's deepatch.box and paper
were subsequently found by Sergeant Davis, of the Birks
polio*, upon the Heath, about a hoodred yards from the
hotel, with a flat-iron stand, which was much bent, from
having beau used by the robbers to force open the lock of
the box. A knife. taken from Major-General Forster's
room, was lying with the blade °swam@ to thedespetek.bel.
The polies al the county are using creep effort to gain
• else to the depredators. As them was no sign of anyone
baring broken into the hotel, the precise maser in width
the robbery wan committed is at present a mystery. It
however, supposed that the thieves must have conceal
themselves about the premises before the betel was aimed
for the night.

26th ult. Dating from May 15, his captivity has lasted over
three months, and though he does not appear to have been
treated with that cruelty which has been shown by other
beads to their captives, he bee of course been exposed to
great hardships and sufferings,which have much affected his
health. Mrs. Moses and Mr. end Mrs. Ainslie are in
Naples.
A letter from Kingston, Canada, says :—" I was
at Niagara last week, and saw Harry Leslie, the American
Blondin, moos the forages torrent below the suspension
bridge upon a rope. Leslie is a man of low stature and
slight frame. He essayed to cross with a bucket of water
la each hand. The wind was blowing strong ; he lost hie
balance and feU, but, regaining himself quickly, caught the
rope and lost the buckets, but saved his life. Subs'.
Tautly he cromed the river cm the rope with baskets oe
his feet. Leslie is an expert gymnast, with good confidence
in his own sldi. f have seen him cross en the rope twice; I
be dose not appear to be more than 5 feet 3 or 4 inches is
height, and on hardly weigh more than 10 stone. He
lacks the vast muscular development of Bloodin of the
upper extremities and the chest, and has not essayed
any of the great feats of strength and skill practised by
Biondi*. To walk the tight rope is no uncommon feat to
thou who are braised to the work, bat to cross below
14topra, with a fall of 200 feet Wreath you, iota a river
Wag onward like a racehorse, filled with wlrripools sod
pointed rocks, sod with the thunders of the cataract roar-
; ; log in your ears. requires no small amount of consdratos
is the man who does it. The wind at times rashes down
I ! the gorge in violent gusts, and lame day, if these
experi-
wade are persisted in, we may have to add one more to
the many tragedies enacted at Nieves Falls"
