ened with • formidable epidemic disease, In consequence of
the progressive advance of such • disease to the western por-
tion of the einatiaset of Europe, and a ease has arisen for

that in purtheace of the powers vested in the L ads of the
Privy Council by the above act, that the provisions contained
in it for the prevention of epidemic, endemic, and contagions
diseases, be pat in force throughout the whole of the United
Kingdom.
THE REEISTEATIONS.—MARTLEDONE.—The lista
for Peddingtos perish were revised yesterday, but no point
of the slightest public interest occurred, the whole proceed-
ings occupying little more than half an hour. To day the
lists for St. Pancras will be taken at the St. Pancras Vestry-
room, Camden-town, at 11 o'clock.
ELECTION or Loan MAVOlL—Yeatenlay being
Michaelmas-day, a common hall was held for the election of
lord mayor for the ensuing year, according to ancient car
tom. At 11 o'clock several aldermen, civic officer*, and
members of the corporation, walked in procthsion to the
church of St. Lawrence Jewry, where a sermonwas

Guildhall, when the usual ceremonies having been gene
through, the Recorder addressed the livery en the important
duty they were called upon that day to ierforra—vis , the

M.P., the senior alderman in rotation to the civic chair. Tide

Messrs. Cubitt and Hill, the late sheriffs, and to the present
chief magistrate of the City, for the able and hospitable
manner in which they hail fulfilled their respective offices.
At the conclusion of these proceedings a Court of Alderman

COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS' SCIIOOL9.—Froot the
quarterly report of the bond of management of the ahem

to or and necessitous children, it appears that the

iisurishina condition, the receipts for the past three meths
being 2,1871. 18s. &I, including a balance of 1,240/., wideb

New LINZ OF STEAMERS TO TUB LEVANT.--TIED
Liverpool Murky states that • new line of monthly 0701/1/1.:
municatiers is about to be commenced between that loyal

eluding Malta, Constantinople, and Trebieond. The

on the lath proxies,. She will be succeeded by the Earl of
Auckland,• splendid ship of 430 tons.
THE SEIZURE OF ILLICIT 130AF.—Sir,—We ob-
served in your paper of Thursday an account of " a mime
made by the excise on the premises of an old established
soap manufacturer in the City, and as ours is the only
manufactory " in the City," we fear (no names being gives
le.! the report should prove prejudicial to the character se
our establishment, to which it does not apply.—DAvlD AXD

GRADUATED INCOME TAB.—Nothing would be
more easy than to devise teethed', not, indeed, of removing
all inequalities, but of so far abating them as to reconcile the
people of England to the continued imposition of the income
tax. Let us, for example, and just for argument's sake,sup•
„pose that • maximum (and that • moderate one—soy five per
cent.) were first fixed upon ; that all incomes at and beyond
a certain amount, say 2,0001. a year, contributed at tbiiimaxi.
meal rats ; and that for every 2.501. a year lea, the tax ding-
I alba by ens half per cent. down to 2601. ; that incomes he-
Preen that and 1001. a year received • further relief of one
awl shalt per cent.; and that incomes below the last amount
IMO entirely exempt. We presume that the maximum of
five per seat. (as this rate was so lately proposed by the
fie all income) can hardly be supposed excessive for
the West Bat could it be for a moment pretended that,
ides sash a system (which we have give.[ merely for Blue-
leallises sake), though there would doubtless be some cases
elfkimdskip, there would not be a nearer approximation to
equity than under the present system 1 A still nearer ap-
proximation might be effected by fixing the maximum for
ateolute property and precarious income respectively at five
and four per cent. Bat we have specified particular isints
simply for illustration. We are not now bound to 'hive what
would be the nearest practicable approximation to equity ;
but that any scale which includes • maximum and minimum
would be better than no seals at all. We believe that Mr.
Cobden never uttered • truer word ,than when he said, in a
recent debate, that the people of England were not unreason-
able in this matter ; that a fair attempt to satisfy their de.
mends would satisfy them ; and that for ins inevitable in
equalities they would be willing to take the will to Native
them for the deed.—Ediebwldi Review.
PRANTASMAGOZIA.—A DOW apparatus has been
constructed in the large theatre of the Royal Polytechnic
Institution for the purpose of exhibiting Phantasmagoria on
a scale hitherto unattempted. The disc on which the
shadows are thrown is twenty-eight feet in diameter, and,
consequently, the illusion is rendered more forcible by no-
sea of the increased sin of the objects shown. Yesterday
this exhibition was thrown open to the public for the first
time, and the success of the experiment was sufficiently
attested by the applause and interest which the various
fleeting apparitions excited in the spectators. Although it
can hardly be clamed emenpt the objetes of science with
which this highly popular gallery is replete, this gigantic
magic lantern, to call it by ito popular name, affords another
proof of the seal and amiduity, with which the directors
eater for the amusement of their visitors, and especially for
that of the holiday folks who may be shortly expected
in town.
INCREASE OF PAUPERISM AT BOLTON,—At a meet-
ing of the Bolton auardisas, on Wednesday, it was stated
that the anien, in that, «stained • imputation of 770516,
and that in the year 1845 the 'lumber of persons receiving
relief was 6,663 ; In the present year, the number was 17,1301
ponces receiving relief, sr 1 person out of every 31 in the
union. A committee was empowered to endeavour to take
farm land in the neighbourhood on which to employ the
able-bodied paupers to spade labour.
